(Folks, small code words overnight, a subscription of 1 cent is not given, a lot of support, not to say, tomorrow is going to carry bricks, it is really hard to find a job.) Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Most of the people in the village continue the more ancient pattern of celebrating the New Year: visiting relatives, playing cards, drinking, eating, and sleeping. The old man's mother-in-law's house is leaving, his grandparents' house is leaving, his uncle and his second uncle's house are leaving, the seventh aunt and eight aunts are leaving, his uncle and his uncle are leaving, and the godfather and godmother's house are leaving, in short, those who should go must go; The elderly choose dominoes and long cards to play, adults choose mahjong, fight landlords, and gamble with Zakin flowers, and the baby chooses tractors, dry staring, and three public entertainment, in short, suitable for all ages; The white one is drunk hot with sugar, the beer is drunk with an open belly, the red one is drunk in front of the tribute, three cups at a time, a few large bowls per cup, in short, drunk on the spot; It is lively and lively, but there is no novelty, but the Spring Festival is still a festival that all Chinese people are looking forward to.
Qiao's family of three generations of farmers, the only pride is that his aunt married into the city, his uncle started as a vegetable vendor, and slowly developed to now contract 3 stalls in the city's largest farmers' market, coupled with his aunt's careful planning and housekeeping, the small life gradually became prosperous, bought a new house in the city, and also bought a car with four wheels of gasoline. Qiao Na has to go to her aunt's house every New Year, not because her aunt's family is rich, but because her aunt's family has always reached out to help in the most difficult time at home, which makes Qiao Na feel that the family affection that blood is thicker than water can still withstand the materialistic reality of society at a critical moment.
Uncle Qiao Na likes to eat rural chickens, rural chickens have never undergone any hybridization and optimization breeding, 365 days running in the fields and mountains, eating is the supply of nature, with a strong ability to forage and fatten themselves in the wild, the chicken is delicious, the egg quality is good, nutritious, how many years it only grows to about 3 catties. The eggs laid by the female chicken are commonly known as native eggs, because the native chicken is free to forage for insects and grass, and can eat some trace elements that are not contained in the feed, so the native eggs are more nutritious, safer and healthier than ordinary eggs.
Qiao Na carried a local chicken and ten local eggs to pay New Year's greetings to her aunt in the city.
"Jona, what are you? I told you at the summary meeting a year ago, if you don't do this, why won't you listen? "Qiao Na just entered the gate of the community where his aunt lived, and was bumped into by Secretary Peng in the township, it doesn't matter if he bumps in, the key is that Secretary Peng thinks that Qiao Na is here to pay him a New Year's greeting.
"Oh, Secretary Peng, Happy New Year, this is uncle, Uncle Happy New Year, Secretary Peng, those rules are set for a big official like you, I am not even a member of the Communist Party, so I was bold, thinking that Secretary Peng also worried a lot about our work, and there is nothing at home that can be handled, so my mother fed a few local chickens, and specially brought them to you to taste, don't dislike it, my mother said, if you think this local chicken tastes good, you will keep it for you in the future." Qiao Na was embarrassed, so he simply played a little clever, but fortunately he didn't show his feet, but this gift was just a gift......
"This young man is the Qiao Na you often mention, it's really good, Xiao Qiao is good, how long has he been working, he just said that he hasn't joined the party yet, I have to criticize you Secretary Peng, joining the party is a big deal, you can't delay the future of young people, hehe, go, Xiao Qiao, go to my house for two drinks." Secretary Peng's lover is polite and polite, and he is really worthy of the status of a professor at Provincial University.
"Oh, it's all my fault for talking nonsense just now, your second elder is angry, it's me who doesn't seek to be motivated, but it's no wonder Secretary Peng." Jona hurriedly apologized.
"Okay, okay, it's the first time you've met, so you'll start playing a double reed for me, Lao Zheng, hurry up and pick up the local chicken, Xiao Qiao is a rare guest when he comes over, Xiao Qiao, go, go to my house to sit down, and by the way, cooperate with your Uncle Zheng to kill the chicken, your Uncle Zheng likes chicken blood boiled vegetables the most." Perhaps because of being a woman, Secretary Peng has never had a leadership frame, which made her highly praised by almost all leading colleagues and village cadres in the unit.
Secretary Peng's house is decorated with antique, walking into the house is like walking into a library, you can see books everywhere, there is a teenage girl sitting on the sofa, looking very elegant, wearing eyes, holding her legs, and devoting herself to TV, Qiao Na took a look, saw Xiaoyanzi, saw Huang Ama, and also saw the fifth elder brother. Oh, I'll go, isn't this "Huanzhu Gege", this Nizi is also obsessed with this TV series, it seems that Aunt Qiong Yao's grandmother is not only poisoned by her own generation.
"You are Secretary Peng's daughter, sister, Happy New Year, I am Qiao's brother, your mother's subordinate, I also like to watch "Huanzhu Gege", Mama Rong is good or bad, hehe." Qiao Na changed into shoe covers and smiled and accosted Secretary Peng's daughter.
"Oh, is it? You are Brother Qiao, my mother always asked me to learn from you when I came back, I thought you were so handsome, tsk, but the figure is good, hehe, brother, please sit, my name is Zheng Yichun. Different from the children in the countryside and the education of ordinary families, Zheng Yichun shows not only the personality of her age, but also the ability and logic of an adult.
"This kid, how did you talk to your brother, I didn't see how beautiful you were, and you made a lot of nonsense, commenting on other people's shortcomings." Mother Peng pretended to be angry and said.
"That's not to blame you and our family's Lao Zheng for not being strong enough, right, Brother Qiaona?" Yichun actually changed his painting style abruptly, and kicked the ball to Qiao's place.
"Hehe, little Joe, you can see how powerful my baby daughter is, girl, you have to have a little bit of your own personality, but you don't really have the same knowledge. By the way, Little Joe, have you ever killed a chicken? Uncle Zheng rolled up his sleeves and responded in the kitchen.
"Uncle Zheng, let me give you a hand, I really haven't killed this animal that can kick the air, if you can trust me, then I will also come to the big girl to get on the sedan chair once, try it." Qiao Na is very composed, not killing does not mean that he can't kill, Qiao Na is very compassionate, this sympathy is even a little overflowing, he feels that anyone who has life can't artificially end their lives, especially the village scene of the cattle killing, so that he has since changed his favorite beef noodles to fat intestine noodles. He still feels miserable when he recalls that scene, while everyone worked together to kill the cow, the tethered cow screamed and cried silently.
"Little Joe, wash your hands and answer the phone." Just finished the work, Qiao's phone rang, picked it up and saw that it was her aunt's phone, which made Qiaona suddenly nervous, she should have sent a text message to her aunt just now, and it was noon, and her aunt was still waiting for him to eat. Jona quickly pressed the phone, and her brain quickly turned sharply.
"Okay, then you're busy, wow, sister, your living balcony is really big, why don't I open the window a little bit and let the sunshine feel your family's Spring Festival?" Joanna walked through the living room and into the sunlight.
"You can do it, I don't care." Zheng Yichun was still obsessively looking at the big screen.
"Hey, Auntie, Happy New Year, ah, eat, oops, aunt, I'm sorry, I didn't call you in advance, I have a big thing to do today, yes, a big, big thing, it's almost the same as Tianda, hehe, you guessed it, that's it, well, good, good, goodbye." Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to guess to know, Qiao Na is talking about Xiaoshan.
"Brother Qiaona, what's bigger than the sky, let's hear it." Girls gossip since they were young, gossip more when they grow up, and gossip when they are old, so girls all over the world are on the gossip bar for the rest of their lives because the sage lost his hand when he was gossiping, the yang side was given to the man, and the yin side was given to the woman.
"Children, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, how can there be so many whys?" Secretary Peng put a few bottles of condiments that she had just bought back into the kitchen, and just heard the content of Qiao's phone call, at this time she was very emotional, she didn't expect this little Qiao to be quite good, and regarded his New Year's greetings as something bigger than the sky, and told herself in her heart to take care of this young man no matter what she did in the future, if nothing else, just for what he just said.
In other words, everyone thinks that Qiao Na is talking about Secretary Peng, only Qiao Na himself knows, what he said is bigger than the sky is the marriage with Xiaoshan, mistakes and mistakes, mistakes and mistakes, this mistake actually brought him an unprecedented opportunity, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
Different from the dishes on the table in the countryside for the New Year, and there is no room for even a rice bowl, Secretary Peng's house has a typical four dishes and one soup: stir-fried green beans, cold cucumbers, fried pork ears with green peppers, braised pork ribs, and stewed vermicelli with local chicken. Four people can basically eat it all after they eat hard, and there is basically not much left over to avoid extravagance and waste.
"Xiao Qiao, come, accompany me for two drinks today, I don't have any bad habits, I just want to drink when I'm in a good mood." Uncle Zheng took Qiao Na's cup and filled it directly.
"Wow, Uncle Zheng, Secretary Peng, wouldn't it be a pity for me to drink this wine, I've never touched such an expensive wine, Moutai, it's expensive, enough, Uncle Zheng, Secretary Peng, can you drink a little too?" Qiao Na didn't expect Uncle Zheng to pour Moutai, but he really didn't treat him too seriously.
"Yes, Lao Zheng, I'm also in a good mood today, come, give me half a cup." Secretary Peng took the initiative to ask.
"Dad, I want to drink it too, let me taste it, and see how delicious Moutai can be in your eyes." Yichun also held a cup, insisting that his father bring him some.
The meal was eaten at a very high level, mainly reflected in: first, the time, reflecting a long one, from 12 noon to 4 pm; Second, the content of the chat reflects a wide range of politics, history, economy, culture, social and people's livelihood, everything is involved, everyone expresses their opinions and speaks freely; The third is the effect, reflecting a good, Qiao Na's conversation and understanding of rural work have been unanimously praised by Secretary Peng's family, including Zheng Yichun, Uncle Zheng's knowledge, Secretary Peng's wisdom, and Zheng Yichun's extraordinariness made Qiao Na admire him so much. In the end, everyone was drunk and sent Qiao Na to the gate of the community, refusing Secretary Peng's family to keep him repeatedly, Qiao Na knew that the proportion of being a person and doing things was very important.
I bought a bottle of mineral water at the commissary not far from the community, Qiao Na drank more than half of it, and poured the remaining half into the palm of his hand, poured it on his fiery face again and again, and finally sobered up a lot, resisted the desire to vomit, bought a box of fruit, took advantage of the darkness, came to the community that had just come out, and plunged into his aunt's house.
"Auntie, uncle, open the door quickly, I have a New Year's greeting for you, and my mother asked me to bring you a local chicken......
