After eating dumplings at night, there was no TV and no electric light, and the Qin family sat at the small kang table and began to watch the New Year around the kerosene lamp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Yuzhen took out the peanuts and sugar sent by Luo Zhan, and put another plate of fried melon seeds, and the family chatted while eating.

Qin Xiaoyu sat on the side, quietly peeling melon seeds, but he kept thinking about the two squirrels in his heart, how to communicate with the squirrels, can the squirrels understand human language? Unconsciously peeled a small pile of melon seeds.

Qin Lang gently pushed Qin Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, what do you want, don't eat such a bunch of melon seeds, you eat quickly, if you like to eat this kind of peeled melon seeds, tell my brother, brother will peel it for you." ”

Qin Xiaoyu came back to her senses at this time, looked at the pile of melon seeds in front of her, and suddenly felt that her eyes were astringently painful, and her mother Yuan Ping put the peeled melon seeds in the palm of her hand every time, and said with a gentle smile: "Our family Xiaoyu eats ninety-nine melon seeds every day, and when she eats enough for nine hundred and ninety-nine days, Xiaoyu can be discharged from the hospital...... The beautiful hair also grew out, and she became a beautiful little princess again. ”

Qin Xiaoyu blinked vigorously, let the tears roll in his eyes, and then held back again, lowered his head and picked up a melon seed kernel, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, the fragrance of melon seeds filled every corner of his mouth from the tip of his tongue, but he lacked the taste of his mother. The tears that I just held back are coming out again, Chinese New Year's Eve, is my mother okay in that world?

"Xiaoyu, eat this candy, this is sweet. Qin Xiaoxia saw her sister lowering her head, peeled a coconut candy and handed it over.

Qin Xiaoyu quickly blinked a few more times before he raised his head and smiled and took the candy from Qin Xiaoxia's hand, put it in his mouth, and sipped the sugar cube lightly: "It's so sweet." ”

Feng Yuzhen looked at the three brothers and sisters who had a good relationship, and said with a smile: "When school starts, I'll go pull some cloth and sew a new schoolbag for Xiaoyu, Xiaoxia, you will graduate in half a year, so you don't need a new schoolbag." ”

"I don't want it, mine can still be used, sew a red one for Xiaoyu, festive." Qin Xiaoxia nodded with a smile and said.

"Mom, I don't want it anymore, my old schoolbag can still be used, and the washing is the same as new. "Qin Xiaoyu has lived here for two months, and he also knows that buying cloth requires a cloth ticket, and every year each person is divided into eleven meters of cloth tickets, and the cloth of clothes and shoes is in this eleven meters of cloth. For example, here in the west, it is cold in winter, and it is particularly expensive to make cotton clothes and cotton pants, so on average, this bit of cloth is not enough for one person to even have two clothes a year.

At that time, in many families, younger brothers and sisters could only pick up the clothes worn by their older brothers and sisters, the clothes and pants were short, and then a piece of cloth of similar color was attached to the cuffs and trouser legs.

No matter how difficult it was, Feng Yuzhen didn't let Qin Xiaoyu wear through Qin Xiaoxia's remaining clothes, as long as she made clothes, the two sisters were one by one, and they were not biased.

Qin Zhenhua looked at Qin Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, listen to your mother, make a new schoolbag at the beginning of school, study hard when the time comes, and take the first place in the exam." ”

Qin Lang threw a peanut into his mouth, and said with a rattle: "Dad, Xiaoyu will definitely do it, how smart Xiaoyu is, he will be able to take the first place in the exam." ”

Qin Xiaoyu looked at this family with a smile, she would definitely do her best to repay them.

After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Qin Lang ran happily, put a few second kicks, and set off a firecracker, which can be regarded as saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new to the God of Wealth.

Feng Yuzhen asked Qin Xiaoxia and Qin Xiaoyu to go to bed first, and she, Qin Zhenhua, and Qin Lang just kept the New Year.

At five or six o'clock in the morning, it was still dark outside, and there were groups of children who began to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as Feng Yuzhen heard that there was movement in the courtyard, she hurriedly put away the candy given by Luo Zhan on the table, and took out a few cents and a pound of fruit candy she bought.

The children in the courtyard had already entered the door with a smile and a smile, and Liu Kar-wai led a large group of boys to come to greet the New Year.

The lively chatting woke up Qin Xiaoyu, who was sleeping, and listened to the movement outside, a little surprised, why did he come so early to greet the New Year.

When Liu Kar-wai and a group of big boys left, Qin Lang also went to pay New Year's greetings with him.

Feng Yuzhen came over and called Sister Qin Xiaoyu to get up and eat dumplings.

Qin Xiaoyu washed her face, and as soon as she sat down at the kang table, the three sisters of the Zhang family came to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhang Sanya and Qin Xiaoyu are the same age, looking at Qin Xiaoyu who eats dumplings, wearing old clothes, her heart suddenly balanced, she hasn't worn new clothes for many years, she is wearing Zhang Daya and Zhang Erya, now seeing that Qin Xiaoyu is also wearing old clothes, her heart is comfortable, and the smile on her face is deep: "Xiaoyu, you eat quickly, after eating, let's go to the New Year together." ”

Qin Xiaoyu pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, she just wanted to join them.

Qin Xiaoxia swallowed the dumplings in her mouth in two bites, and said to Zhang Sanya: "You sisters will go first, and we will go by ourselves in a while." ”

Zhang Daya is two years older than Qin Xiaoxia, and said with a smile: "We are together every year, let's go together this year, Xiaoyu is timid and afraid to call people every time, with us, no one is afraid." ”

Qin Xiaoxia snorted and muttered, "Xiaoyu is most afraid of you." ”

Qin Xiaoyu took advantage of the fact that the three sisters of the Zhang family had not come back to their senses, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I will go with them to pay New Year's greetings, don't you still want to find your classmates? ”

Qin Xiaoxia looked at Qin Xiaoyu in wonder: "Didn't you promise to come with me?" Why don't you go again, my classmates are all very good." ”

Qin Xiaoyu put on a cotton coat and said with a smile: "Sister, I'll go with them, you eat steadily, and then go to pay New Year's greetings." After speaking, he said to Zhang Sanya: "Let's go, let's hurry up, and everyone else will run ahead of us in a while." ”

Zhang Sanya was a little surprised, this Qin Xiaoyu usually saw them, and his head was eager to tie his neck, why did he still smile and follow them to greet the New Year today.

Zhang Erya didn't care so much, and also urged: "Let's go, don't be verbose." ”

Qin Xiaoyu followed the three sisters of the Zhang family out of the door, Qin Xiaoxia still grabbed chopsticks and pointed at the backs of several people, speechless in surprise: "Hey, you, you ......"

Feng Yuzhen came in with noodle soup, and was also a little surprised: "Why did Xiaoyu follow them, you hurry up and finish eating and take a look, don't let them be bullied again." ”

Qin Xiaoxia frowned, thought about it, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu will definitely not be bullied this time." Before Qin Xiaoyu was about to go out, she turned her head and gave her a look that reassured her that she was fine.

"You'd better go and see, those three sisters are sometimes unreasonable, and they all follow their mother. Feng Yuzhen urged.

Qin Xiaoxia nodded, drank a few large mouthfuls of noodle soup, and hurriedly put on shoes and cotton clothes and followed out.

When Zhang Sanya went out of the gate, she pretended to be very curious and asked Qin Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, did your parents give you New Year's money?"
