Chapter 116: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
"System?" Duan Buregret asked suspiciously, "What system?" Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Ah, it's the irrigation system." Duan Buqi immediately changed the topic: "Isn't it more convenient to plant like this?" ”
"I don't need that."
Duan Buregret laughed: "After all, my brother is studying liberal arts, and these plants are not the kind that need to be watered regularly, although they participated in artificial planting, these are still naturally good after all." ”
"Okay." Duan Buqi touched his nose and pondered silently: Don't you regret not knowing the system at all.
Thinking of this, Duan Buqi couldn't help but ask, "Don't regret it, your pocket watch ......"
Duan Buregret glanced down at the pocket watch in his hand and smiled slightly: "Well, you said this, it's a set with my brother, a total of fifty yuan, which is quite expensive." ”
"It's the same set." Duan Buqi then asked, "Where did you buy it?" ”
"Kunmi's Stone Forest." Duan Buregret held his chin and recalled: "At that time, I remember that it was Christmas, and the school had an early holiday, so I ran to the stone forest with my classmates to play, and then saw these two pocket watches on the stall in front of the scenic spot. As he spoke, Duan Buregret put his pocket watch in front of Duan Buqi and said with a smile: "Brother, look, the two of us are different, your carving is a yellow dragon, and my carving is a unicorn." ”
Duan Buqi glanced fixedly, on the shell of the pocket watch in front of him, a lifelike unicorn held its noble head high, with a hint of domineering charm in its bright eyes, and the scales on its body were so slender that even the markings on the edges could be seen clearly, which did not look like a simple modern handicraft at all.
"Broken Void!"
Duan Buqi immediately shouted in his mind: "What's the matter with my brother's pocket watch, is there more than one system?" ”
"No, it won't."
Po Xuan shook his head: "I am the only one, but there is more than one power like the founder Fang Yuan, and it is not impossible that there are other systems in the world, but the pocket watch in front of you must not be a system." ”
"Why?"
Duan Buqi stretched out his hand and gently touched the smooth cover of the pocket watch: "Such fine workmanship is not something that can be bought for fifty yuan, and it is difficult to do it in modern technology." ”
"It's not difficult, but it's really not easy." The crack on Po Xu's face was crooked: "Maybe it can play a big role in the future." ”
Duan Buqi frowned: "It won't bring danger." ”
"No, it won't." Po Xuan shook his head: "It's a thing that has lost its light, and it's not so easy to notice." ”
"Lost the light?" Before Duan Buqi could ask, Duan Buqi had already put the pocket watch back, stuffed it into his underwear pocket, and shouted at Duan Buqi: "Let's go, brother." ”
"Okay."
Follow Duan Buregret all the way home, the time is almost six o'clock, the village is lively, everyone is busy moving the bar tables and chairs to the big banyan tree for a circle, and then a table full of dishes, the whole village together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Duan's father also walked out with a folding table at this time, looked at Duan Bu and Duan Bu regret waved his hand, shouted: "Come and help." ”
"Great!"
Duan Buqi's mind flashed past scenes one after another, the familiar atmosphere came to his nose, Duan Buyi stayed to help Duan's father set the table, Duan Buqi went into the room and walked out with five chairs, this is the custom here, be sure to leave a spare chair for the guests.
Duan's mother is still busy in the kitchen, if you look closely, you can still hear her happy humming, it seems that she is really happy, the corners of Duan Buqi's mouth are slightly upturned, looking at his father who is beating his waist with a wry smile, supporting his father, his eyes are full of distress and joy Duan Buregret, looking at the smiling faces of everyone around, Duan Buqi said softly: "This is the Spring Festival." ”
"Ming, come and help me get the food." Duan's mother poked her head out of the kitchen, and just happened to see Duan Buqi who had finished putting the chair and Duan Buregret who helped Duan's father sit down.
"Little abandonment, little regret that you're back, oops, Ming!"
Duan's mother put down the food in her hand and rushed out, and asked anxiously, "Ming, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's fine."
Father Duan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just a low back pain." ”
"It's fine." Duan's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Duan Buqi and Duan Buregret: "Then let your father rest today, and we will serve the dishes." ”
"Hmm."
Duan Buqi answered, pointed to the white smoke that kept coming out of the kitchen and asked, "Mom, that's it?" ”
"Oops!"
Duan's mother immediately ran to the kitchen, and Duan Buqi shook her head helplessly: "Mom is still so sloppy." ”
"But this is our mother." Duan Buregret grinned: "Let's go, brother, everyone is almost ready." ”
"Okay."
Walking into the kitchen, Duan's mother was processing a meatloaf that was fried a little mushy, and when she saw the two brothers walking in, she turned her head in their direction: "It's done over there, let's take it out." ”
Looking down, the dishes are really hearty, such as braised fish, boiled prawns, a large pot of fat beef soup, smoked sausages and bacon the day before yesterday, and pig's ears and tails that look soft and glutinous.
"Thorny."
Duan Buregret sucked a mouthful of saliva, picked up the prawns and ran out, Duan Buqi smiled slightly, picked up the fat beef soup and walked out slowly, three minutes later, Duan's mother took off her apron and gloves, wrapped the hot plate in a rag and walked out: "Okay, the last dish, plum vegetable meatloaf!" ”
"Oh!"
Duan Buregret cheered, stretched out his chopsticks and was about to hold the cake.
"Smack." Duan's mother knocked out Duan Buregret's chopsticks, and pouted, "The elders in the village haven't eaten yet." ”
"Oh......" Duan Buregret picked up the chopsticks pitifully, stared at the dishes on the table and didn't speak, Duan Buqi smiled faintly, he was also beaten in the past because of gluttony, and now he really misses it when he thinks about it.
At this time, the village chief walked out, it was an old man who was nearly sixty years old, his body was still very tough, he strode under the banyan tree, coughed, and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard this year, relying on the water to draft, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, our ancestors have lived here for so many years, experienced how many dynasties have changed, and now it is finally ushering in a good era, like this development, our Donghuang Village will become a famous village in less than 20 years, and the ancestors will be proud of us." ”
"Oh!"
The villagers competed to raise their glasses and drank them all in a cheer, Duan's father was not in good health, so he also replaced the wine with tea, and drank a big cup happily.
After the village chief finished speaking, he nodded and smiled at everyone, and walked back to his seat with his hands behind his back, the previous cheers did not weaken, and after the elders ate at the special tables, a group of old men left their tables with wine, and clinked glasses with people everywhere to celebrate. ”
"This ......" Duan's mother asked worriedly, "Xiao Qi, do you know how to drink?" ”
"It's okay Mom." Duan Buqi smiled confidently: "I often have to go out with the boss to socialize outside, and I can still drink a little wine." ”
"It's refreshing." Lao Wang laughed, filled the cup in front of Duan Buqi, sat on the extra chair and took a bite of food, raised his wine glass and said, "Nowadays, it is rare for a developing child like you to think of his parents." ”
"Uncle Wang has won the prize." Duan Bu raised his glass with both hands: "Thank you for taking care of my family on weekdays, I will do it first as a respect." After that, he raised his head and drank a full glass, the wine was very rough, it was all the grain wine brewed by each family, and the pure internal breath swirled in Duan Buqi's body, naturally purifying the alcohol, and the remaining part turned into clean water and energy and quickly integrated into Duan Buqi's blood.
"Awesome."
Lao Wang also took a dry mouth, and said to Duan's father: "Your family has raised a good child. ”
"Thank you." Duan's father's face was full of relief, and he unceremoniously accepted the neighbor's appreciation.
"Eh, Xiao regret, you're the same age as your brother, why don't you drink some?" Lao Wang saw Duan Buregret, who was still stuffing vegetables into his mouth on the side, and suddenly spoke.
"Drink."
Duan didn't regret it or be polite, took the liquor in Lao Wang's hand and poured himself a glass, filled it with Lao Wang, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'll do it first." Said it, he drank it all, put the cup down, and put a piece of pig ear in Lao Wang's bowl: "Uncle Wang eat more." ”
"Okay."
Lao Wang ate the pig's ears, drank the wine in the toast, laughed and stood up: "I still have to go around and walk around, and I will accompany your brothers and sisters later." ”
"Okay." Duan Buqi stood up politely: "Welcome Uncle Wang to come again." ”
Lao Wang left satisfied, Duan Buqi looked curiously at Duan Buregret, who was silently drinking soup on the side: "I didn't expect it, I don't regret that you have also grown up." ”
"That's it." Duan Buregret patted his chest proudly: "I'm not drunk in school." ”
"Huh?" Duan's mother said dissatisfiedly: "Drink less in the future!" ”
"Oh...... Be. Duan Buregret immediately wilted, drooped his head and secretly grimaced at Duan Buqi, his eyes were full of sadness: Brother, you actually cheated me.
"Alright." Duan's mother added a piece of plum vegetable patty and put it in Duan Buregret's bowl: "Eat more, I won't be angry with you in Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
"Uh-huh." Duan Buregret immediately buried his head in eating, Duan's mother shook her head, smiled and put a pig's tail into Duan Bu's bowl: "Eat, your favorite food, look at you are shorter than your brother now, are you not full of food outside." ”
"Thank you, Mom." Duan Buqi picked up the pig's tail: "I ate well outside, but I don't grow up." ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
Duan's mother tilted her head and said, "How old are you?" ”
"Hmm."
Duan Buqi hurriedly shaved two mouthfuls of rice, showing his attitude, Duan's mother nodded happily, and sandwiched a prawn for Duan's father, Duan's father also sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Duan's mother, the family was happy, how happy, from time to time there were familiar neighbors who came forward to celebrate, and after eating for a few minutes, the two brothers also took a bottle of rice wine with a lower degree to each house under the order of Duan's mother.
The meal lasted more than an hour before it ended, and after the elders all returned, everyone began to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and returned to their homes to continue celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve.
Soak the dishes in the water, wash them tomorrow, clean the house, Duan Buregret picked up the garbage and pulled Duan Buqi to shout to Duan's father and Duan's mother: "Dad, Mom, I'm going out with my brother." ”
"I'll be back before twelve." Duan's mother replied in the house, leaning on Duan's father to sit on the sofa and wait to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"Got it."
Duan Buregret grinned, took out a few large pockets of fireworks from behind the door and said to Duan Buqi: "Let's go, brother, we haven't played together for a long time." ”
"Okay." Duan Buqi took the pocket in Duan Buregret's hand and smiled slightly: "Then tonight is still the same." ”
"No problem!"
