As soon as the Bao family had breakfast, they began to pack some things they brought back while waiting for the New Year's dinner. As soon as the Cai family father and son arrived home, they sat down at the table and began to eat the New Year's dinner.

Cai's father said a few New Year's greetings, and drank the first glass of wine with a large family, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Why did you make the New Year's dinner so early?" Have you eaten breakfast? ”

Cai Jianiang saw that the child's father was not angry, and then cautiously replied: "I didn't eat in the morning, I thought you wouldn't come back for the New Year, thinking that saving a little was a little, so I made a New Year's dinner directly." One meal counts as two! ”

Cai's father also worked on the construction site of the government, although he was a little tired, but he ate meat and vegetarian food, and his body was much better than when he was at home before. Look around at grandchildren and daughters. The daughter-in-law and her own mother-in-law are all skinny, yellow-skinned, thin, and distressed with tears. But when he ate the New Year's dinner in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he couldn't shed tears, and he raised his neck to pour the wine from the wine glass into his throat, and then he kept coughing. The cough was almost over, so he smiled happily and said to the whole family: "Tell you a good thing!" Ah, us! Life has been better since then, and the new home over there has been cleaned up, a brick house that I have never lived in in my life. Our grandfather has opened more than 100 acres of wasteland, and we have a large family over there, planting crops, raising livestock, and then raising some silkworms. At that time, the crops will be kept for their own food, and the livestock will be left for a few to eat meat, and more will be sold for money, and the silkworms will be sold for money. In this way, we can eat enough food every day, and we can occasionally eat meat and make tooth sacrifices, and we can still have money to spend. I'll never let you go hungry with me again! Cai's father choked up as he spoke. The children and Cai Jianiang didn't feel how bitter they were. Cai Jianiang stretched out her hand to poke the child's father, and used chopsticks to clip a piece of salted goose to him, while saying: "This salted goose was sent by Grandma Xiaobao a few years ago. A total of two were given. The sun is very fragrant, not salty or light, and it is delicious! You taste it. ”

"Hey! Good! I'll taste it! Xiaobao can earn a lot this year, and the eldest sister's family affair is really good! Next year, the eldest sister will be able to enjoy happiness with Xiaobao when she marries. ”

The whole family looked at the eldest sister because of Cai's father's words, and the eldest sister blushed and had to lower her head. Silently picking up the rice in the bowl. The naughty little nephew got into the belly of the table and looked up at his aunt's face, and then shouted loudly, "Auntie is snickering!" Everyone at the table burst into laughter, and the eldest sister wanted to bury her face in the bowl.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Cai family scooped the younger son out of the belly of the table. forced him to sit at the table honestly and eat. While asking his father-in-law: "Dad!" You didn't come back before, and we weren't sure if you would come back for the New Year, and when the Bao family came to ask for the date, we didn't dare to respond. So what now? ”

Boss Cai didn't let his father speak. Replied to his daughter-in-law: "There is no urgency! After the sixth day of junior high school, Xiaobao may have to take his daughter-in-law to visit his future sister-in-law's house. To say the least, it will take more than a month to come back. I just don't know if I'll ask my eldest sister to go with me. ”

Cai Jianiang said: "If they call the eldest sister, we can do things at home, and they will rush back before the day to do things directly." ”

Daddy Cai interjected: "I'm afraid that the Xiaobao family doesn't have a female dependent at home, right?" ”

"Don't worry, his grandmother won't go. Just have his grandma and grandpa at home! "Grandma Bao Zhengrong was angry with Cai's mother before, if the children come back, let them be busy with whatever the children want to do, and the old man and the old lady can call the shots.

The Cai family was talking about things while eating the New Year's dinner, and Daddy Tang arrived home happily with a backpack full of candy. At home, it is a cold pot and a cold stove, and I can't help but be angry.

"What's going on? Why don't you cook this New Year? He yelled at the hall with only a few children.

The eldest granddaughter, who was feeding the pigs in the pigsty, came out of the pigsty timidly. Xiao whispered: "My mother and grandmother are sick, and my father, second uncle and second aunt sent them to the town to see the sick." "Daddy Tang's heart is tight, it seems that this illness is not light, otherwise he can't be sent directly to the town.

The third child of the Tang family was also frightened, "Dad! Either I'll take the money and go to town to have a look! ”

"Let's go together!" Daddy Tang handed the backpack to his eldest granddaughter and explained: "This candy will be given to each brother and sister to eat first, and then it will be hidden in the cabinet and cannot be eaten by the younger brothers and sisters." ”

"Yes, grandpa!"

The two of them didn't even drink saliva, and hurried to the town to find the only doctor's house. Boss Tang and Elder Tang were sitting in the middle of the two hospital beds, talking in a whisper, and the second daughter-in-law was boiling medicine on the three-forked stove in the courtyard.

As soon as Daddy Tang saw the eldest and second child, he asked anxiously: "Why are your mother and eldest daughter-in-law sick?" But does it matter? ”

As soon as the eldest and second saw that their father was back, they suddenly cried as if they had found the backbone. These two people don't look at the fact that they have already married and given birth to children, they didn't care when their father was in charge at home before, and they felt that they might be better off without their father. As a result, as soon as their father left, it was less than a year, and the two of them couldn't stand it anymore, and at the end of the year, before the father came back, the mother was sick again, and the eldest daughter-in-law also fell ill, and the two brothers couldn't stand it at all. When I saw my father at this time, I cried like a child, but Tang Laosan's eyes were stunned, this is the eldest brother and second brother who used to be hung so much that no one looked down on him?

Daddy Tang was anxious about his mother-in-law's illness, where could he stand the howl of the eldest and second child, and hurriedly pushed the two guys away, yelling: "Cry!" What happened to your mother and eldest daughter-in-law? ”

The second daughter-in-law, who was boiling medicine in the yard, ran out with a banana fan that fanned the wind. Answer fairly: "Dad! You're back! My mother and sister-in-law are fine, my mother is too anxious because you haven't come back to the end of the year, and you haven't slept all night, and you fainted on the ground this morning. Just now, the doctor looked at it and said, my mother will sleep well now, and she will be fine.

The sister-in-law was frozen because she washed the quilt in the water, and she didn't recuperate, and then she was busy sweeping the dust and making New Year's goods. The doctor said, drink three pairs of medicines, and then take care of them, and you will be fine after spring. ”

When Daddy Tang heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no major symptoms, his heart was steady. took out a tael of silver from his pocket and asked the third child to sell meat and wine in the town and bring it back to cook the New Year's dinner.

The boss saw that he was busy interrupting: "Dad! We don't have to buy any of this, we've already prepared them. In the morning, because my mother suddenly fainted, and my daughter-in-law had a high fever and couldn't wake up, we were in a hurry to send them to the town, and the family didn't have time to do it. If I don't wait for my second brother and daughter-in-law to boil the medicine and give it to my daughter-in-law, we will carry my mother and my daughter-in-law home! ”

The second daughter-in-law interjected next to her: "Dad! You still give some money to let the third child buy two jars of wine and come back, in the morning, the third uncle of Cai Jiajie and Brother Qing helped carry the mother to the town, how can you give someone a jar of wine to catch up with the favor. ”

Donald also nodded, "Yes, yes!" Father! This favor has to be rushed! ”

How could Daddy Tang not know the sophistication of human feelings, so he took out a tael of silver and gave it to the third child: "You go and buy four jars of the best wine back, the family has to give two jars to look good, such a big favor, you can't be stingy." ”

A jar of wine here is packed in one catty, which is the kind of sixteen taels. The difference is fifty wen a jar, and the better one hundred and ten wen is about the same. Daddy Donald gave one tael of silver to buy four jars, which was already the best wine that could be bought in this town. It can be seen that I want to thank people sincerely!

Mrs. Tang slept really deeply, carried her all the way home, and moved her from the cool bed made of bamboo to the big wooden bed without waking up. The eldest daughter-in-law poured a bowl of soup and medicine into her stomach, but she woke up halfway through. Knowing that his father-in-law and third brother had returned, his happy body felt much better, and when he got home, he struggled to get up to cook New Year's dinner with his second brother and sister, and was pressed on the bed by Donald and lay on the bed without moving.

Although the eldest daughter of the old family is only twelve or thirteen years old, she is not good at cooking New Year's dinner independently, but she is very useful as a helper for her second aunt in the kitchen. At the New Year's dinner table, she was praised by her second aunt vigorously, and a few children were not convinced, you praised yourself with a word, and made Donald laugh non-stop. The eldest daughter-in-law and the old lady who were sitting at the table crookedly were all red with a lively smile because of the children, and they swept away the panic and obscurity that happened early in the morning.

The boss of the Tang family drank a little too much, and asked his father with a big tongue: "Dad!" Is it really a brick house over there? ”

"Dad can't lie to you! Of course, it is a brick wall and tile roof, I want nine rooms for the main house, six rooms for the side rooms, ****** rooms, and three rooms for the east wing. If this is not enough, six more rooms can be added in the middle. Moreover, there is still more than ten zhang of land left behind the house, which is also used to build houses when the population of each family is increased in the future. There are only two people with your third brother, and the wasteland opened up is not as much as that of Old Scar's grandfather, and it is only more than 50 acres. But when you all pass, we have a lot of labor, and if we want to open up more wasteland, we can definitely have more scars than Cai Lao.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law took the children to herd livestock, and I raised silkworms with my wife, so I couldn't live a bad life in the future! ”

The third child listened to him next to him and really admired his father, he was much more likely to plan and be in charge than he would, and Jiang was really old and spicy!

Daddy Tang looked at his youngest son with bright eyes, and suddenly changed his words: "But there is one disagree, that is, there are too few girls over there." I thought that when the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law went to visit the New Year, they would quickly help the third to find a partner, and it would be best to be able to handle the family affairs before we moved. Remember, you must find someone who can live a down-to-earth life, and don't look for a woman who looks like a fox spirit to come to the house. But do you hear it all? ”

The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law sneered and nodded in response: "I know! Father! ”

Tang Laosan has long been anxious to have a daughter-in-law, Bao Zhengrong is younger than him and is about to get married, but because the money saved in the family is not enough, he has not been able to find a partner, and he is about to go crazy. At this time, the father finally opened his mouth to find him a daughter-in-law, grinning happily, and looking at the two sisters-in-law with anticipation. However, after all, I was not at ease, and after a long time, I still opened my mouth and weakly explained: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law!" It's better to help find a better one, okay? ”

The two concubines looked at the third child's anxious appearance, and they couldn't help it, so they put down the bowl and giggled. The eldest daughter-in-law was sick herself, and this smile almost made her breathless, and Boss Tang hurriedly patted her back and rushed her back to give her relief. The old couple couldn't help but purse their mouths and laugh, and the children watched the adults laugh, and they all screamed and laughed inexplicably. The Tang family's New Year's dinner this year is more funny and lively than any other year in previous years! (To be continued.) )
