Chapter 43: The Taste of the Year

By the time Wu Xiaozheng returned home, Jiang Lihua had naturally left, and he didn't have to worry about it for the time being.

But there are others waiting for him.

Here we go again.

After seeing Wu Xiaozheng, Li Xinjian's first sentence was to complain: "Zhenghan, where did you go, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Wu Xiaozheng's mood suddenly became relaxed again.

Cheap and unhurried to speak, like a little old man, Wu Xiaozheng started to tease him again: "Cheap, why are you running here again? It's the New Year tomorrow, you don't want to stay at my house for the New Year, right?"

"As you said, then I won't go back, your house seems to have a lot of delicious food. "The cheap fights back without showing weakness.

……

After a few words, Wu Xiaozheng asked Li Xinjian about his intentions: "Say, what's the matter with coming to me at this time?"

"Jiang said that the class reunion on the fourth street of the new year asked if you want to go? Cheap replied.

Class reunions?

Wu Xiaozheng remembered that he seemed to have this in his previous life, and he was also asked by a cheap person at that time, but he didn't go that time.

Because he was in a state of self-isolation at that time, and he couldn't afford the ten dollars for the event.

At this time, ten yuan may not be anything to the children in the city, but for the children in the countryside, it is almost a week's food expenses, and the Wu family at that time was short of money.

Fortunately, the current Wu family is not short of this money.

Wu Xiaozheng thought for a while and said, "Then go, count me in, and you will call me then." ”

At this time, Wu Xiaoli happened to run back, and when she heard it, she immediately asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Class reunion. "Wu Xiaozheng is very patient with his sister now.

"Then I'm going too!" Wu Xiaoli seemed to be very interested in her brother's affairs now.

"Good. ”

Wu Xiaozheng agreed in one bite, and then said to Li Xinjian: "I'll take my sister with me, remember to call me then." ”

In other words, before meeting Jiang Lihua, maybe Wu Xiaozheng would hesitate to participate in this party, because he didn't know if he could integrate into a group of secondary two teenagers with the mentality of nearly forty years old.

But not now.

Since some people have to face it sooner or later, and some things have to be experienced sooner or later, let's face it directly!

He was curious, could he meet that classmate who had directly influenced his fate in his previous life at this party?

Li Xinjian played here for a while and then left, because tomorrow was the Chinese New Year, and Wu Xiaozheng didn't leave him to eat.

The next day is the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Wu Minxia and Yang Zhengyi got up, carrying large bags and small bags, and prepared to take the car to Yang's house for the New Year.

The couple was very happy.

Because of the gifts given by many neighbors, the Wu family's New Year material is a bit too much this year, and Grandma Wu also filled them with two large bags, such as chicken, fish, and meat.

Now it's okay, and the couple can be regarded as having face when they go back to Yang's house.

Before leaving, Wu Xiaozheng took out another 500 yuan and handed it to Wu Minxia.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Minxia still wanted to be polite.

Wu Xiaozheng asked, "You don't have some money in your pocket, so you just go back to your mother-in-law's house, are you embarrassed?"

"I still have money. "Wu Minxia is still charging her head.

But Wu Xiaozheng knew that Wu Minxia was already very embarrassed at this time, and before Wu Minqing went to prison, she had spent a lot of money, and there should be little spare money in her pocket.

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't just let them and his wife go back like this.

No matter what, Yang Zhengyi is still a national cadre in everyone's eyes, and the husband and wife are both people who eat "national grain".

The face of a man, the bark of a tree. If you want Yang Zhengyi to become confident, you must first let him hold his head up.

Wu Xiaozheng said playfully: "You have performed well these days, this is a year-end bonus for you, don't you really want it?"

Wu Minxia was a little entangled.

She has indeed done a lot of things in the past few days, but it is definitely not worth so much money. It's really a little embarrassing to ask her to reach for her nephew's money.

It was still Grandma Wu who felt sorry for her daughter, she took the money from Wu Xiaozheng and stuffed it into Wu Minxia's hand: "Just take it for you, it's not an outsider." ”

Wu Minxia looked at Wu Changhe again, Wu Changhe didn't say anything, but she didn't show displeasure.

This is a very rare change, Wu Minxia suddenly wanted to cry again.

She felt like she was finally like a member of this family, all because of Wu Xiaozheng's little child.

"Take it, take it, and treat it as your New Year's money to your brother. ”

This spicy mother-in-law is still so hard-mouthed! Are you embarrassed to let me, a teenager, give your son so much New Year's money?

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but scold.

The "your brother" in Wu Minxia's mouth refers to her own son Yang Zongwei, who has just turned ten years old now, two or three months older than Wu Xiaoli. Yang Zongwei was originally studying in the town, but he was sent to his grandmother's house after the holidays.

After Yang Zhengyi and his wife left, the Wu family was left with only four Wu Xiaozheng brothers and sisters and grandparents, and the family became much more deserted.

According to the customs of the countryside, the New Year's Day is generally not visited, except for a few debt collectors.

On this day, there is no work, except for killing chickens and fish.

On this day, everyone will clean up themselves and their homes and wait for Chinese New Year's Eve to arrive.

As soon as Wu Minxia left, Wu Changhe and Grandma Wu were a little lonely.

Yes, this year's supplies are abundant, but other people's families are reunited, and there are two people missing in their own family, which makes it sad to think about it.

Wu Xiaozheng knew what his grandparents were thinking, but he didn't know how to say anything, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

Then add a little more flavor to this year!

"Wu Xiaoli, let's go, brother will take you to buy fireworks and firecrackers!" Wu Xiaozheng shouted.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, the weather was already a little cold, and it should be snowing soon, and Wu Xiaoli was still lying in bed at this time.

After hearing this shout, Wu Minxia immediately got up and shouted, "Really? Brother, wait for me." ”

Wu Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction.

For children, the most tempting part of the Chinese New Year is fireworks.

However, with the previous economic conditions of the Wu family, Wu Xiaozheng's brothers and sisters just wanted fireworks, and they could only watch other children set them off, and then drooled with envy.

Well, now, even if Wu Xiaozheng himself is not very interested in fireworks, his sister's wish will still be fulfilled.

In addition, he also wants to go to the street to buy some blank couplets, brushes, etc., write a pair by hand, and then paste it on the door to add a little flavor to this New Year.

Although the family is not even, Wu Xiaozheng wants the rest of the people to have a happy New Year!
