Wang Meilan got up early in the morning, and the table was already full of hard dishes, roast chicken, roast duck, braised carp, red mountain meat, steamed pork, potato strips, taro fruit, and a big bowl of rice cakes in front of one person.

To be honest, Xu Xuecheng really didn't have much appetite when he saw so many greasy meals early in the morning, but the others were different, the family had only been getting better for a few months, and the old man's mouth had not yet descaled the meat, and he was gnawing there with a chicken leg!

"Brother, sit down and eat, the chicken in the morning is worse than yesterday!" Lao Mo said as he wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, which was yellow and clear.

Wang Meilan knocked on the bowl, "How many times have I told you, don't wipe your mouth with your cuffs, you will wear the same new clothes as a beggar this day!"

Xu Xuecheng noticed that Lao Mo was wearing a new red cotton jacket, but the cuffs were already stained with chicken fat, no wonder Wang Meilan was furious.

"Hey, why didn't you wear the new padded jacket I put there for you? Wang Meilan asked when she saw that Xu Xuecheng was still wearing yesterday's clothes.

"Oh, I forgot, I'm going to change after eating!" he got up and was busy cleaning up the battlefield, and noticed the new jacket that Wang Meilan had put on him!

After breakfast, Xu Xuecheng hurriedly went back to his room to change into his new jacket, a dark blue cotton jacket, which was already very foreign in the countryside.

When I came down, my cousin had already arrived, and he was driving a tractor to pick up Xu Xuecheng's family to go to "Xujiashe".

"Happy New Year, Uncle Cousin"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year" Uncle Cousin also shaved his beard and cut his hair today, and wore a brand-new octagonal hat (Red Army cap), and the whole person looked extremely energetic.

Xu Xuecheng's family called his grandparents to get on the tractor together, carried incense and candles, and went to "Xujiashe" with a "poof".

After putting on the incense and candles, as usual, the daughter and son-in-law were going back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, Xu Xuecheng asked his cousin to send his grandmother home, and his family walked to his grandfather's house.

My grandfather didn't have a son in his life, although his three daughters were all angry and didn't embarrass him, but if there is no son in the countryside, he always has to suffer 4 gossip!

But Xu Xuecheng has given him a long face in the past half a year, not to mention learning or anything, let's just say that the winter mushroom and the "farmer's vegetable garden" have increased the income of the society, and now Secretary Mao is smiling when he sees him, and no one in the society dares to say how the old Xu family is!

The development of Xujiawu Commune in the second half of the year was too hot, and the income of the two items alone was 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, which is 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in 80 years! Everyone has shared the grain and meat for a good year, and they have reaped visible benefits.

"Grandpa~" The old man shouted from afar.

Accountant Wang walked out of the house, saw a little elf with two feet flying, and raised it above his head, "Yan girl, do you miss your grandfather?"

"I want to~"

"Nonsense, why don't you want your grandfather to come to see your grandfather, don't you think your grandfather has no candy for you to eat?"

Lao Mo is not afraid, she is the eldest in the family, and she is spoiled by the tip of her heart when she is fair, and the set of pulling her face does not work for her.

"It's all my brother who doesn't bring me, he goes to the commune several times to look for you and doesn't take me!"

Xu Xuecheng in the back rolled his eyes, "Okay, I just gave pocket money, and I sold my brother in a blink of an eye." ”

Accountant Wang was amused by the old man and laughed, "Yes, yes, it's all my brother, it's still our Yan girl who is the most well-behaved!"

Grandma heard the words in the house and walked out, "Chengcheng is here, why are you still standing at the door, come in!"

The meal at my grandmother's house at noon is also chicken, duck and fish, and the New Year in the countryside, except for big fish and meat, there are basically no new tricks, but Xu Xuecheng doesn't dare to say this idea, what, I am not satisfied with this food?

After eating lunch and rushing home, grandma was making dumplings, the skin of taro and sweet potato flour kneaded, reporting the trap of pork winter mushrooms, stirring in the chopped green onions, when out of the pot, the taste can make people hungry.

Eating dumplings in the south is different from the north, the soup is also the essence, scooping up the soy sauce chili pepper vinegar or something, and then sprinkling some sesame seeds, taking a bite of crystal-like dumplings, and then drinking a sour, spicy and fragrant soup, it is almost necessary to recognize the old life.

The next few days are a long New Year's greeting, the eldest aunt's family, the second aunt's family, and the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the three uncles' families, a little grandfather's family and some uncles, and even some people Xu Xuecheng has never seen at all, and he is also pulled to call his cousin, uncle.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the New Year of the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family is finally over, just waiting for the Lantern Festival to pass, the new year's life will officially begin, work, work, school, you have to know where you should stay.

Lao Mo has been making up homework for the past two days, the winter vacation homework in primary school, in fact, is not much, the math Lao Mo has already done a good job, Xu Xuecheng estimates that her current math level does the homework assigned by her teacher, and she can do 800 questions a day.

It's a little speechless in language, it's a diary every day, it's going to be handed in at the beginning of school, the 16th of the first month starts, the end of the old fingers counts, there are still 48 hours, and then look at your own diary, well, just wrote to the day of the New Year, there are still 15 articles that need to be supplemented!

Xu Xuecheng was happy to see that Lao Mo was finally pressed at home, lying on the table with a bitter face, and the pen was flying, but don't say it, the words are quite good-looking!

"Do you want my brother to write it for you?" Xu Xuecheng asked cheaply on the side.

Lao Mo knew that he was teasing her, ignoring him, not to mention that the handwriting was different, even if it was the same, she didn't dare, when it came to learning, Wang Meilan turned into a tigress, daring to steal and play tricks, Xu Shigui couldn't stop her from beating people.

Xu Xuecheng couldn't tease him, so he turned around and went out, today's Lantern Festival, there is a dragon lantern to watch at night, the club has already begun to beat gongs and drums to greet people, a strong man in a family, no one wants to run, Xu Xuecheng's family is naturally Xu Shigui's contribution.

In the evening, as soon as the sky got dark, the sound of gongs and drums became louder, "bang", "bang", "bang", "upper pole cannon" was lit by the old man who carried the "dragon head" in the village, and the two bangs shook Xu Xuecheng's earwax out.

Lao Mo also heard the sound, and half of his head came out of the window, watching Xu Xuecheng and them follow the dragon head to the street.

The dragon lantern is composed of dozens of "dragon bodies" (long wooden boards, with lanterns nailed to them, and candles), with holes in the front and back, and the person who carries it takes a long wooden stick and inserts it into the hole, carries the board on his shoulder, and adjusts the direction and strength with the wooden stick.

The population of Xujiawu is not much, the dragon lantern is not particularly outstanding, everyone will watch a lively, Xu Xuecheng has seen the dragon lantern organized by the county in his last life, it is called a spectacular, hundreds of bodies, there is a good dragon head to drive, hundreds of people coil up the dragon body in a circle, form a concentric circle, the densest place people and people's shoulders are leaning together, just like that, but also lead the dragon to dance up and down!

Long Lantern swam all the way, Xu Xuecheng and they followed all the way, waiting for everyone to go home, it was already past 11 o'clock, and it was rare for people in the countryside to sleep so late.

Lao Mo had already finished the diary, and when he saw the dragon lantern carrying it back, he hurriedly ran out, which was regarded as catching up with the last journey, but it was dispersed after a while.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passes, the flavor of this year fades, don't look at the Spring Festival couplets are still red and glamorously pasted on the wall, the commune has begun to work!

On the morning of the 16th of the first month, Xu Xuecheng's family returned to the store with a large bag and a small bag.

Wang Meilan accompanied Lao Mo to the elementary school to report, Xu Shigui said to accompany Xu Xuecheng to report at the beginning, but was rejected, just kidding, a person who has lived for two lifetimes wants his father to accompany him? What does this look like.
