"Puff puff~" The car started slowly, the old worker and peasant - seven dragged the cigarette and drove towards the house in a bump, although the cousin specially laid a thick layer of straw on the carriage before he came, but the cold air on the iron plate still penetrated the gap under Xu Xuecheng's buttocks, Xu Shigui took out a small gourd from his pocket, poured a mouthful, and handed it to Xu Xuecheng, "Let's get some, warm up!"

This little gourd Xu Xuecheng doesn't remember in his last life, it is estimated that he didn't have to eat at that time, where did he get the money to buy wine, the conditions are rich in this life, Xu Shigui hooked up the wine worm, and he got a good drink.

Xu Xuecheng took it and poured a big mouthful into his mouth, and the hot flow burned from his throat to his stomach, and his body became hot all of a sudden!

"Drink less!"

Wang Meilan saw Xu Xuecheng take a sip violently, and wanted to continue, and admonished beside her,

"What are you afraid of, how can a man not drink!"

Xu Shigui has been the boss of the store in the past few months, and he is majestic, and he dares to be tough with Wang Meilan, but he picked the wrong place, this is not in the store, he needs to give him face in front of outsiders, this is all his own family, Wang Meilan's voice became louder.

"Yo~ I've been in charge of the store for two days, and I'm getting angry? How old is your son? You instigated him to drink and can't read? I don't think you want to have a good time this year, right?!"

Wang Meilan's voice was loud, and her father immediately withered, "Isn't this our family with genes, his grandfather can drink it, I can drink it, how can I break it when I get to my son!"

After speaking, he blinked at Xu Xuecheng with his eyes, which meant "I'll help you speak, you can't just watch it!"

Xu Xuecheng threw the gourd back to his father, and sat Wang Meilan on the ground, "Don't drink it, listen to your mother!"

Wang Meilan patted Xu Xuecheng's hand, "This is good, don't follow your father, take a wine gourd all day long, we are going to college in the future, drink and burn your brains!"

Xu Xuecheng didn't know the strange saying that Wang Meilan heard about drinking and burning her brain, but it was true that after two sips of dry white, her body was much warmer, and she felt that the wind blowing outside was not so harsh.

When I arrived at Xujiawu, it was already close to noon, there was cooking smoke floating over the yard, and the fragrance of pine wood was everywhere.

Seeing Xu Xuecheng's family get off the tractor, put down the axe, and ran over to help move things,

"Auntie, uncle, I'm here to move, I heard the sound of the tractor from afar, I thought Cheng Cheng and you were celebrating the New Year in the county this year!"

Speaking of this, Wang Meilan's flesh hurt again, "Where, I mean that the opening until the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family has a reunion dinner, where is it not the same, oh, their father and son have to go back to the dock for the New Year!"

There are not many things, and everything that should be in the house is neat, Xu Xuecheng moved the bed to the newly built room outside, this place where no one has lived for a long time, it feels colder than in the county store.

As soon as Wang Meilan got out of the car, she went to raise the stove first, and the dishes and chopsticks at home naturally had to be cleaned, boil the water, and scald them all, which is also the local disinfection method in the countryside!

After Xu Xuede helped move the things, he went back to chopping firewood on the flat ground in front of the courtyard, and Xu Xuecheng also followed, carrying the family's axe in one hand, "Come, I'll help you!"

"You can get it, you are good at studying and doing business, don't start this, beware of ripping on your instep!" Xu Xuede said, don't come to make trouble.

"yes ~ look down on people, what's wrong with me, don't look at me thin, I still have a few pounds of strength, and I won't delay you anymore, the weather is too cold, find something to do to warm up your body, and your hands and feet are about to become zombies!" Xu Xuecheng dragged a piece of chestnut wood stump, spit two mouthfuls of spit into his palm, and picked up the handle of the axe towards the stake.

People who have cut chestnut trees in the countryside know that this kind of tree is very thick, and most people are first cut a hole, and then chop down along the mouth, which is called chopping firewood, Xu Xuecheng has not done farm work in the countryside in his two lives, how can he know, he is purely using brute force, and even brute force is not qualified, the axe is split on the stake, "scandium ~" bounced back, fortunately he held it firmly, and the axe did not bounce out.

"Damn~" Xu Xuecheng shook his hand, his palm was numb for a while, it's okay now, it's not cold, but it's numb, it hurts!

"Haha, tell you not to do it, you still don't listen, your hand is holding the pen handle, not the axe handle!" Xu Xuede's men were very sharp, carried the old stump over, cut a few gaps first, and divided the body with a click.

"I don't believe it!"

Xu Xuecheng suffered a loss, refused to stop, and brought a piece of pine wood, the axe was held high, and it looked like it was very sufficient, and the pine segment was split with a "bang", that is, one side was big and the other was small, not very even.

The two quarreled for a while, Xu Xuede called him to eat, what did he eat? Laba Festival, that is naturally Laba rice, with a plate of dried radishes pickled in small pickled peppers, the taste is not very good.

"Chengcheng, you're back, do you want to come to my house to eat some together?"

"Oh, no, my mom is already doing it!" Xu Xuecheng kicked away a fork of a tree at his feet and went home with an axe.

As soon as the rice retort is opened, yellow rice, white rice, Jiang rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red river beans, and red winter dates, four or five colors are glued together, and a layer of rock sugar is sprinkled on the surface.

Xu Xuecheng doesn't like sweets, so his mother served him a bowl in advance, sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds, and ate it with pickled bamboo shoots or pickled cabbage, which can make people swallow their tongues.

It's really cold to sit on the table of the Eight Immortals to eat in winter, and I feel that my buttocks and benches are going to stick together, so Wang Meilan burned charcoal with an old iron pot, covered it with a thin layer of ash and put it under the table, and it is good to warm my feet without warming my whole body, but I just can't take off my shoes and dry my feet, otherwise the table smells of socks, and I won't let people eat!

Grandma also came back with Xu Xuecheng, so they ate together, the old man's appetite is very good, and he can eat two bowls of sea bowls about the same size as his face, Xu Xuecheng is worried about her holding on. But at this point, it's really nothing, Xu Xuecheng has seen a man from the next village, who drank and ate 8 bowls of noodles in one go, and the whole person was directly blindfolded, so I really wanted to know how the person's stomach was formed!

After eating, Wang Meilan and Xu Shigui began to cook the kitchen and living room, on the windowsill on the wall, everywhere to be wiped clean, the countryside will be very particular about the New Year, who is not clean, it is going to be laughed at, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the old, also wipe him like new!

Xu Xuecheng generally can't get his hands on this kind of thing, so he handed over the rag, lifted the bucket, or half a bucket of water, and he had to work hard to carry it when it was full!

After Laba, what are you doing, do you think it's the same as now, go to the restaurant for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner during the New Year? That's still early, the preparations that should be made can't be left behind, seeing the cold "New Year" in the later life, Xu Xuecheng is really very concerned about these things, and everything is mixed with one hand, which makes Wang Meilan feel strange.

"yes, when did you become so diligent?"

"What's the matter, isn't it fun, hurry up, what else do you want me to do? It's cold when you stop!" Xu Xuecheng finished plucking the chicken feathers and ran to get the work again.
