The Qiao woman was embarrassed to cook without rice, so Luo Xi rubbed his palms and said, "It's too late for us to buy New Year's goods now." ”

"Yes, there should be a few more in the town's market that haven't closed. Village Chief Hao was busy driving, "I'm going to make a fire." ”

The diesel car of the village chief Hao is especially difficult to run when it is cold, and he even burns some corn stalks next to it to warm up the fuel tank in the morning of winter.

"Mom, you are watching the children at home, Lu Sheng and I will go with Village Chief Hao. Luo Xi bowed his head and instructed the two little ones, "Listen to your grandparents, Xiao Chen, take care of your sister." ”

Fei Chen nodded his little head vigorously, "Zhilu said, Mom." ”

Lu's mother looked reluctant, "Then you go early and come back early." ”

Watching the couple get into Village Chief Hao's car, Mother Lu was still standing outside the door and looking forward, but this time, she didn't have to secretly watch her son leave, but waited for her son's return openly.

Lu Sheng opened the car window and waved at her, "Mom, go back." ”

"Hey, go back, go back. With tears in her eyes, Mother Lu turned around and took the hands of the two little guys, and said to Qin Pei, "Old brother, let's go into the house." ”

Qin Pei witnessed such a touching meeting between mother and son today, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and he admired Luo Xi's vision more and more, one is an iron warrior who sheds his blood for the motherland, and the other is a fierce mother who is willing to enjoy a lifetime of loneliness and widowhood for her son.

Who would have thought that the commander of the dignified special forces was born in such a poor, backward and remote mountain village, it is impossible for people to change their origins, but they can change their fate, which is in response to the sentence "My life is up to me", Lu Sheng is a legend in this small village, and he is an idol worshiped by young people in the future.

Village Chief Hao's car drove into the town, it was almost dark, and every family was preparing a reunion dinner in the evening, but fortunately, a few businesses were not closed.

Lu Sheng has never bought anything in this kind of bazaar since he became a soldier, and he doesn't know what Lu Dao should buy, it has always been Luo Xi who picks and chooses to bargain.

"It's too expensive, you see it's almost the New Year, give me a New Year's discount, and if I don't buy these things, they'll be broken after the New Year, three yuan, what do you think, boss." Luo Xi was wearing a white cotton jacket and a red scarf, this gentle smile, red lips and white teeth, the boss had to "open the net" for this sweet appearance.

"This girl is really sharp-tongued, okay, three dollars, I won't earn your money. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you, boss. ”

Luo Xi paid the money and handed the things in his hand to Lu Sheng, who was stunned, and he took it mechanically, still staring at her.

"Look at what? I don't have a military map on my face. She grinned, "Hurry up, everyone will be closed in a while." ”

Lu Sheng was dragged away by her, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to bargain." ”

She used to be pampered, always spending money lavishly, when she fell in love, she often wasted, ordered a table of things, each only one bite to shout full, he has been educating on the side, but she grinned "It's okay, my dad is rich", after the tempering of life, she is no longer the ignorant little girl back then, she will live, will take care of the children, and will be more considerate of him, so how can he not touch her growth and carefulness.

After buying a whole half of the car's things, Village Chief Hao joked with a smile, "You guys are moving the store back." ”

Someone at the entrance of the village is killing the pig, a lively group of people watching, the pork that has just been slaughtered is still steaming because of the cold weather, the owner of the pig is using a large scale to weigh two catties, and the mouth shouts loudly, "three catties and four taels." ”

"Lu Sheng, let's go buy some fresh pork. She dragged him into the crowd, her big eyes dripping around the pig for the best place to go.

There were a few aunts who bought pork standing next to her, and suddenly saw such a fair-skinned girl coming in, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, her dress did not look like a person from Ant Village, but more like a girl in a big city, and then looked at the man beside her who was as long as jade and handsome, someone recognized it at once, "Isn't this the son of the old Lu family in the east of the village?" Ah Sheng, to Ah Sheng, is a big official in the army. ”

Roshi grinned and poked the expressionless man, "Look, you're a celebrity." ”

Lu Sheng actually knew these people, he didn't hold a shelf, it was rare to show a smile, what two aunts and three aunts all called it again, everyone chatted with him enthusiastically about family life, the people in the village were simple and unpretentious, and they didn't feel like dwarves because of his prominent status, and they were very kind to Ah Sheng.

"Ah Sheng, is this your daughter-in-law? This girl is so handsome. ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Sheng began to praise Luo Xi again, Luo Xi learned from his appearance to call people, and the seven aunts and eight aunts called again, and their mouths were like sugar cores, as sweet as honey.

"Ah Sheng, look at my son, is it okay for your eldest nephew to be a soldier, that kid has never forgotten since he heard someone mention it, and he has been clamoring to be a soldier, and he can get ahead like you in the future.

"Then when will you take him to my house, I'll see. Lu Sheng agreed very happily.

"That's great. ”

"Ah Sheng, and my family. ”

"That's okay with my family. ”

Buying pork has become a recruitment conference, Luo Xi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and the last stall owner gave the two of them five catties of pig's head meat and a bunch of big bones very generously for the sake of his son's "future".

"Oh, isn't this a bribe, Captain." ”

"Then you eat them all and destroy the evidence. Lu Sheng put his arm around her shoulders, he had never felt so down-to-earth in his heart, the lovely people around him were picturesque, and his smile was as sweet as snow, and he couldn't help but gently turn his head sideways and kiss the corner of her lips.

"Don't let people see it, I'm ashamed. After all, it is a country country, and it is still a little feudal and conservative, Roch hurriedly glanced around, carrying two large bags of things to keep a safe distance from him, and he walked behind, smiling in a good mood.

Village Chief Hao helped them unload their things in the car, Qin Pei took two small ones out to help, Fei Chen took the lightest bag of vegetables to his sister, and went to carry the heavy fruit by himself, he was very strong at a young age, and he could carry another bag of dried fruits with a bag of fruits.

Lu's mother was boiling hot water to prepare for bathing them at night, and saw a family rushing in, carrying large bags and small bags in their hands, and the strong smell of the New Year came to her face like a spring breeze, she smiled and took the things in her grandchildren's hands, "Sugar core and Xiao Chen, the sweet potatoes in the stove are almost ready." ”

When the two little ones heard this, they immediately ran to the stove with a cheer.

Qin Pei used a long hook to pull the sweet potato out of the ashes, and then wiped his appearance with a clean rag, and there were two little gluttonous cats squatting in front of him, looking at the sweet potato in his hand with blank eyes.

"It's a little hot, eat it slowly. Qin Pei put the peeled sweet potato in the hand of the little sugar core, she took it excitedly, first smelled the tempting fragrance, and took a small bite, "It's so sweet, brother." ”

Fei Chen also took a bite, "It's really sweet, grandpa eats it too." ”

"Go and give it to your mom and dad, grandpa won't eat it. ”

The two little ones immediately went to Lu Sheng and Luo Xi with roasted sweet potatoes, and they had to taste them to stop until they took a bite.

Qin Pei is a child king, he is watching the children save them a lot of trouble, he took the children to bake sweet potatoes and roast clams, and led two small ones to take the newly bought wallpaper to paste the wall, he did these things quickly, and the walls of the two bedrooms were all pasted in an hour, and the white wallpaper with dark flowers suddenly seemed to brighten up the whole home, and the big red window flowers on the glass were even more amazing and pleasing.

Luo Xi and Lu Sheng helped Lu's mother in the kitchen.

Lu Sheng is peeling garlic, very serious, he has always been like this, as long as he explains the things to him, he does it very carefully, such as asking him to wash the dishes, he will turn over and wipe the dishes many times.

Large bones and meat are boiling in the cauldron, and you can smell the enticing aroma before it comes out of the pot.

Mother Lu was chopping on the side, looking at the little couple from time to time, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became deeper and deeper.

"Mom, give you garlic. Lu Sheng handed the peeled garlic cloves to Lu's mother, and asked with a smile, "What can I do for you again?"

Mother Lu looked at him, her eyes suddenly sour, and she forcibly held back the tears that were about to gush out of her eyes, and quickly turned around with the garlic.

Her son has always been a man of few words, but she can read the meaning expressed in his eyes, such a scene of family reunion, she really didn't even dare to think about it before, until now she feels that she is dreaming.

Qin Pei had already pasted the couplet, and the two little guys had gold dust on the Fu character sticking to their hands, shaking their little hands, you scratch me, I scratch you, and the clothes on their bodies will soon be dirty.

Luo Xi frowned helplessly, brought hot water to wash their hands, and the two of them began to play in the water basin again, playing with each other.

She lowered her face and said, "Don't make trouble, it's all over the ground." ”

At this time, the aroma of meat came from the kitchen, and Lu's mother shouted happily: "Sugar core, Xiao Chen, come and eat meat." ”

The two who had just been trained listened, and immediately blinked at Luo Xi, like a pair of poor dolls, Luo Xi smiled, "Grandma told you, go quickly." ”

"Eat meat. The little one swooped and ran towards the kitchen.

Mother Lu picked two pieces of lean meat and blew off the hot air on them before handing them to the two small mouths.

"It smells so good. ”

It seems that it is the first time I have eaten this kind of pork, and I will eat it again with my head cocked after eating.

Lu's mother tore a few more pieces for them, and after the last time, she simply found two small bones.

Sugar Core and Feichen sat on a chair and gnawed on the bones, this kind of pork bones boiled out of the cauldron, the original taste, can not be eaten on the small pot and small stove in the big city.

Lu Sheng clipped a piece to Luo Xi, she opened her mouth and just wanted to bite it, but his hand suddenly retracted, and she bit it all at once.

Roshi glared, "Hey, stingy. ”

He shook the meat in front of her and put it in his mouth, munching on it as if it were delicious.

This bad guy obviously did it on purpose.

"Roshi, eat this piece, it's better than his piece. It was still Lu's mother who handed over the meat with chopsticks to her daughter-in-law, Luo Xi was flattered, and said "Xie Lu Xie Ma", and bit the piece of meat into her mouth, deliberately fighting with someone, and had to chew it more fragrant than him.

Mother Lu watched it on the side and couldn't help laughing, "These two children." ”

Peng!

Someone set off firecrackers before eating, and Lu Sheng said, "Mom, I'll go and set off the whip." ”

"Well, go ahead, let go of the whip and eat. ”

Lu Sheng found a string of fiery firecrackers in the warehouse and lit a cigarette.

"Dad, I want to put it too. Fei Chen's bold request.

"Here's to you. He picked out a few children's fireworks that were not too dangerous and gave them to Fei Chen, "Be careful when you put them away, you can't face the direction of your face here." ”

"Know, Dad. ”

The father and son went out to release the whip, Luo Xi and Sugar Core stood at the door, she stretched out her hand to cover Sugar Core's ears, and looked at the father and son at the gate of the courtyard with a smile.

Cracking sound.

Red firecrackers leaped and exploded on the ground, and red debris fell from the golden firelight.

"It's the New Year, it's the New Year. Sugar Core clapped his hands and applauded.

After the New Year's whip, it is time for the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, and the whole family sits around the ondol, the dishes on the table are steaming, and the stove below is burning brightly.

Lu Sheng poured wine for Qin Pei, and poured drinks for Lu's mother Luo Xi and a few children, he raised his glass first, without too many words, everything was in this lively New Year, "Happy Spring Festival, everyone." ”

"Happy Chinese New Year. ”

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses, and the joy collided together, and the year of reunion is called the real year.

Lu's mother's craftsmanship is very good, and several people praised it while eating.

"Mom, you eat. Luo Xi sandwiched a chopsticks of fish meat for Lu's mother.

"Eat, Mom, just eat. Lu's mother is happy to eat, every year the New Year is a real New Year for her, listening to other people's firecrackers, family reunion, but she can only be here alone to keep the dry lamp, and this year, she is complete, not only her son is back, but also brought her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, how can she not be excited.

The whole family was eating the reunion dinner and drinking the reunion wine, Lu Sheng said very little, but he could see that he was very happy, because he kept smiling on the corner of his lips, which was the expression he could only have when he was the happiest.

Luo Xi told Lu's mother the story of the city, from the interesting story of Sugar Core Feichen to the interesting story of Lu Sheng, she finished telling, Qin Pei continued, and the two of them made Lu's mother laugh from ear to ear.

"Luo Xi, seeing that your relationship with Ah Sheng is so good, my mother is relieved. While washing the dishes, Lu's mother was cleaning up the food in the kitchen and said to Luo Xi with a smile.

Roshi's hand was under the faucet, and he couldn't help but pause, letting the cold water pour over his reddened skin.

Lu's mother didn't know what to say, this was the last reunion year she had with them, Lu Sheng's dream was fulfilled, and her own dream was fulfilled, she didn't want to leave regrets, she hoped that after she left, they could still live peacefully.

"Mom, you go back to City A with us, you stay here alone, Lu Sheng is still not at ease. ”

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to life in the city, after all, I'm used to staying in the countryside and I don't want to leave. ”

"Don't you want your grandchildren?"

"How can you not want to?" Lu's mother sighed, "If I miss them, you can pick me up and stay for a few days, or come back for a while after you have a long vacation." ”

Luo Xi was no longer reluctant, for many old people, the habit of living in one place, it is difficult to change the water and soil, although the life of the city is leisurely and quiet, but it is not as fertile as the deep roots of this small village.
