Chapter 94 1982
This year's wind and snow are particularly heavy, after New Year's Day, there are already three snows, and the old people all say that Ruixue is a good year.
Although it was later known that it was the low temperature that froze to death the eggs of the geography, it did not affect people's expectations for the new year and new weather.
This year, the vegetable garden is busier, not only to manage the store, but also to have a warehouse dignitary, the store of the farmer's vegetable garden has been re-handed over to Wang Meilan, Xu Shigui ran to the warehouse next to the manager.
Although he didn't say it, Xu Xuecheng knew in his heart that his father was distressed by his mother, afraid that he would be tired, and now the store was very stable, and the warehouse had to get up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night to move goods, and he was busy until dawn.
Xu Xuecheng has always said that he can simply hire someone, and now there are a lot of odd jobs on the street, and it is easy to find. Xu Shigui disagreed, to be honest, now that he has a warehouse, he can be busy, and hiring one more person is another expense, and now the store is not as hot as it was at the beginning.
Approaching the end of the year, for ordinary people, money, rice, oil and salt are all problems, the supply and marketing cooperatives have been emptied, and the department stores are not much better.
The storefronts on Caiyuan Street have also been largely closed, and there are a few breakfast shops left, most of which are about to stay in the city for the New Year.
Wang Meilan was reluctant to close the store, she was reluctant last year, she was reluctant this year, although her son told her that she had made a lot of money, but she still wanted to open the store, this year Xu Shigui also has to look at the warehouse, this warehouse is closed, I don't know how many families don't even have to eat food.
Xu Xuecheng thought about it, anyway, it wasn't far away, so he simply went home and took his grandmother to the city.
The grandparents are not ready to come, they are going to spend the New Year at the aunt's house, and they have divided the family, and there is no rule for going to the younger daughter's house for the New Year.
Xu Xuecheng had no choice, so he only took his grandmother back to the county.
It was 212 in the army.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Xu Xuecheng pulled a tractor of vegetables and fish for the troops as usual, and sent a car to the county, which was nothing to him, but it was a friendship.
The Four Seas Hotel was also open until two days before the Chinese New Year, and Xu Xuecheng sealed a red envelope for everyone in the store, all of which were 18 yuan and 8 yuan, although the money was not much, it was auspicious.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu went back on the 29th, leaving only Yu's mother and Yu Ping in the store, Yu's mother originally said to go to Hengxi's aunt, that is, the ploppy cow went home for the New Year, and now that Yu's mother has money, his brother-in-law must welcome it very much.
However, Xu Xuecheng didn't let him, and left the two to celebrate the New Year together.
"Anyway, it's all in the county town for the New Year, and I have to rely on you to cook a delicious Chinese New Year's Eve meal for me," Xu Xuecheng said to Yu's mother.
Yu's mother thought about it, and she didn't go to Xujiawu, everyone got together to make a scene, and it was indispensable to stumble when she went to Niu Qianqian's house, so as not to hang up on everyone's faces.
"That's it, then I'm going to cause you trouble."
"Alas, it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome" Xu Xuecheng waved his hand again and again.
In the previous life, the two of them lived for half of their lives, and they were very lonely, and now Xu Xuecheng hopes that the more people around him, the better.
On the day of the 30th, there was business on both sides in the morning, and the door was managed in the afternoon, and the two families felt together, the women were busy working in the back kitchen, and the rough enough of the Four Seas Hotel was big enough, grandma, Yu, and Yu Ping all had to show their skills.
The kitchen is the housewives' own place, Xu Xuecheng and his grandfather and father got a deck of cards in the living room, Xu Xuecheng taught him to fight the landlord twice, and the old man was entangled on the side and couldn't drive away.
When worshipping ancestors, Xu Xuecheng still pours tea and hands wine, the rules are the same, but no one dares to fool, this is a spiritual inheritance, the New Year, the New Year, the next year, isn't it these years.
After putting the "red floor" and closing the door to serve the food, the housewives served the cold food, changed the dishes and chopsticks, and put the hot dishes and soup on the table.
The New Year still uses the eldest brother's eight immortal table, grandpa and dad sit on the "upper horizontal head", mom and grandma sit on the left and right, Lao Mo sits with his face and grandma, Xu Xuecheng and Yu Ping The two juniors sit at the bottom, responsible for pouring wine and adding food.
Xu Xuecheng took a wine glass, "Come, I salute grandpa with a glass, and wish grandpa a long life and good health"
Grandpa is very interested, the eldest son and children have a chance, and the younger son is now a fish pond is also beginning to scale, he feels that when he is old, he can still see such a blessing, and he has to drink.
The grandfather and grandson took a sip, and after drinking, they pursed their lips, "What kind of wine is this, it tastes good, but it doesn't have any energy."
"You guys, all of them are wine jars, Moutai, the leaders of the city all drink this, today is your grandson who honors you," Wang Meilan said of her son, with a proud face.
"It tastes good, the leader drinks it, it's not good, it's not good for me to say, let's still drink our own grain brew." This wine is really taken in the city, and the last time he led someone to deliver food to the city, Commissioner Zhu gave it, and jokingly said that it was used as money to buy vegetables.
After drinking the third grandson, Xu Xuecheng and Yu's mother clinked glasses again, "I wish Aunt Sun to live younger and younger, and next year will be more beautiful"
There is no woman who is a chef who can't drink, she is bored in one sip, and then she laughs and says that Xu Xuecheng has a sweet mouth.
Yu's mother hasn't been so lively for a long time, since the man passed away, how many disasters have the mother and daughter suffered, sitting on this lively table today, I can't help but sneak to tears.
After eating, grandpa took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave one to Xu Xuecheng and Yu Ping, followed by grandma, Wang Meilan and Xu Shigui directly gave Yu Ping and Lao Mo, their son was saved, and they didn't treat him as a child anymore.
"Am I your own son?" Xu Xuecheng muttered, then turned his head and said, "Thank you, grandma."
I opened the red envelope and glanced at it, all of which were 100 gross tickets.
Yu Ping took 4 red envelopes in his hand, looked at his mother, and didn't know if he could take it.
"Take it, the New Year's money given by the elders, you can follow me and call your grandparents in the future" Xu Xuecheng stuffed the red envelope into Yu Ping's pocket.
Yu's mother nodded, and Yu Ping accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, grandparents" The little girl's mouth is sweet, and the second old man is funny.
When the door was opened, there were already a few firecrackers in the county, most of them were two kicks, took the incense and threw it out, covered the ears, and within two seconds of "Peng", red sparks flashed, which was the greatest fun.
Waiting for Xu Xuecheng to move out of the warehouse with a large number of fireworks that had been prepared a long time ago, Lao Mo directly screamed and took a "three-pole gun" (holding fireworks), took a little incense, and smoked, and the fireworks dragged their tails to a height of several meters, "snap", as if they had farted in mid-air.
Xu Xuecheng ordered a big one, and the rumbling artillery fire rushed into the air, and the children next door were all attracted to it.
In his previous life, when he was celebrating the New Year, he looked at dozens of fireworks in other people's homes, but he didn't expect the scenery in the eyes of other children on Yecheng Road in this life, Xu Xuecheng suddenly felt that he was in a hurry, and gave the matches to Lao Mo and Yu Ping, and let them play by themselves.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Xu Xuecheng had one more thing to do, that is, to answer the phone.
I all know that Xu Xuecheng is in the store, and since the phone opened the door, it rang non-stop, and the county and city of Shenzhen called, Zhou Tiantian, Liu Zhaoyang, and even Secretary Liang's secretary came to greet him, Zhang Suzhen also grabbed the microphone and said that Xu Xuecheng owed him a gift, and Xu Xuecheng still missed his engagement with Zhou Tiantian.
And then from the county and city, it's good that it's just a greeting for the New Year, otherwise his header will be empty this night.
As a rule, it is necessary to keep the New Year, Xu Xuecheng regrets not coming back with a black and white TV, so I can watch the Spring Festival Gala, but it seems that CCTV has not yet come out of the "Spring Festival Gala", and Xu Xuecheng's spy came out first on SH station.
Lao Mo and Yu Ping are very energetic, the two are still dangling in their new clothes, Lao Mo is a big red tweed, Yu Ping is a pink tweed coat, and they are very foreign when they are worn on their bodies.
In the end, I couldn't stand it, pulled my father and grandma to play the tractor, my own family, and played a dime, Xu Xuecheng never broke the filial piety of coconut milk, and the two old people used 100 cents to make red envelopes, 1 cent is really nothing, killing time.
Wang Meilan and Yu's mother sat next to each other to do homework, occasionally adding charcoal to the stove, and with a hand warmer in their hands, their feet were still freezing.
As soon as the bell rang at 12 o'clock, Yu's mother brought rice cakes, "Come on, eat a bowl of rice cakes, the longer and higher"
