Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year, is an annual family reunion day for ordinary people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The snow in the alleys has been swept into piles and piled up on both sides of the road, and the idle people have also piled up the snow out of a chubby snowman, and the children hold incense sticks, and from time to time they light small cannons, and the explosion of firecrackers causes the angry scolding of adults and the smug laughter of children.
The strong aroma of the meal enveloped the sky of the whole Huaguo, and the smile of satisfaction and happiness resided on everyone's face on this day.
Aunt He sweated like rain in the kitchen, and tried her best, steaming, cooking, frying, and a table full of Dengdeng, most of which were meat dishes.
Because there are three ballet dancers in the family, it is rare to see oil meat on the dining table, so that Wang's father, who always complains that he is a tiger who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha, has a chance to see the light from time to time.
"Jing Xi! Why don't you come with us today? Today's New Year, leaving you alone at home is weirdly lonely! Teacher Chu Lin held a coat in her hand and stood at the gate to persuade her.
Father Wang drooled, took Leah by the hand, and was already sitting in the car.
"Teacher, you don't have to worry about me, my uncle's family is reunited, how uncomfortable it should be for me to be an outsider. Besides, I don't know them well, and I'm embarrassed to go! Jing Xi leaned on his little head and pushed Teacher Chu Lin out, "Don't worry about me, uncle is waiting." Aunt He prepared a table of good dishes for me, just for me to enjoy it, and no one grabbed it. ”
After speaking, Jing Xi also winked mischievously at her, and then at Father Wang, who was looking at them on the car window, Teacher Chu Lin couldn't help laughing.
Teacher Chu Lin touched the top of Jing Xi's head distressedly, "You always like to make fun of him." Okay, I'm not verbose, be careful at home alone, we'll be back sooner. She originally wanted to tell Jing Xi that if she was afraid, she could let Aunt He stay with her, but then she thought that Aunt He was also going home for a reunion, so she stopped talking.
The car emitted white smoke and ran away.
Jing Xi closed the door and Aunt He, "Don't be busy, I've done so much, I definitely won't be able to finish it, and it will be too wasteful if it goes bad then." ”
"It won't be wasted, you still have to eat tomorrow morning, and you won't be allowed to use the knife on the first day of the new year." Aunt He's voice came from the kitchen through the curtain.
Jing Xi lifted the curtain of the door and went into the kitchen, "Aunt He, the food you cooked, let alone tomorrow morning, is the day after tomorrow, it is enough to eat the day after tomorrow." It's better to go home early, your family will definitely be waiting for you for the New Year! ”
Aunt He bent over, her hand chopping vegetables paused, and "Dangdang" continued to chop vegetables, "Don't worry!" When they are hungry, they will eat first. ”
Jing Xi sighed in her heart, Aunt He's home is also a difficult scripture to read.
Aunt He's family is not bad, she is a chef in a restaurant, Aunt He's husband is a bus driver, both of them are retired, and the salary is quite high. At this time, everyone lived in a house divided by units, and all the medical treatment was reimbursed, so there was nothing to spend a lot of money on, and the old couple had some money saved in their hands.
There are three sons and two daughters in the family. The sons all have formal units, and they all have families and children.
Perhaps because they have a small family and their own little abacus, the children began to focus on Aunt He's things.
Aunt He lives on the second floor of a four-story building, a two-bedroom house.
The children's house is not as good as the old couple, they live in a room in the courtyard, and the kitchen is shared by the family in the courtyard.
With a child, the house is naturally not enough to live in, and the old couple feels sorry for their grandchildren, so they let their grandchildren live.
It's troublesome, you said that let the old family live, and the other sons will not be happy, and they are also grandchildren, so why should the old family take advantage of them, so they will stuff the children to the old couple.
The room, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly had six more children, and the noise was about to overturn the roof of the house.
This is not the end, the two daughters who got married also came back with their children, a handful of snot, a handful of tears and the old couple complained, the husband loves to drink, the family's money is taken to drink, every month is in the commissary on credit, the children's tuition fees are gone.
The other, holding Aunt He's hand, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, caring about her body, before Aunt He's heart was warm, she began to cry, saying that her husband's health was not good, and he was on sick leave for half a month, and the money was spent without seeing it at all.
As soon as the two children cried, Aunt He and her family softened, and they were busy asking their daughters to bring back a lot of things, and by the way, they still carried the great unity that Aunt He took out from the bank in their pockets.
When the grandchildren saw it, they went home and told their parents that their daughter-in-law was unhappy, and the water spilled by the married daughter was not like this. Old man, everything in the old lady's hands will belong to her grandson in the future, no.
The son, the daughter-in-law and the child, came in a big way, a noisy meal, it was an earth-shattering, almost moved, alarmed the neighborhood committee, after mediation, let the children go back to their respective homes, no one is allowed to touch the things of Aunt He's two children.
Aunt He's breath hasn't been sent down, and her grandson was sent over by her daughter-in-law again, saying that the two of them go to work, and they can't manage the children to eat, and the old lady is idle, so let the old lady help, and she will give Aunt He living expenses every month.
The words are beautiful, but Aunt Qian He didn't even see a shadow.
The contradiction came again, Aunt He was disheartened, didn't you say that the two of us were idle, simply, Aunt He had good cooking skills, and went to Teacher Chu Lin's house to be a nanny, and Aunt He's husband went to the unit to be a doorman.
Now, it's time for the kids to stop, no!
The children felt that the old man had more money in his hands, so they came over every once in a while to pack some things and go, as long as they didn't make a fuss, Aunt He and her family also agreed.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Aunt He's son will definitely come over for dinner, and Aunt He's two have a headache, not only to serve their children as cattle and horses, but also to listen to their complaints.
Aunt He thought of her group of children, she would rather accompany Jing Xi for the New Year, seeing that she was young, she had always been quiet and sensible, and she had never said anything bad about her family.
"Otherwise, Auntie will stay with you at night, and I'll leave when your teacher comes back." Aunt He's face was red from the heat in the kitchen, the hair was neatly coiled behind her head, and a few naughty ones ran in front of her eyes, Aunt He rubbed her eyelids with the back of her hand, and lowered her head to ask Jing Xi.
Jing Xi smiled, why did one or two of them treat her as an ignorant child.
"Not really. Uncle must be waiting for you at home. Without you, he must be too busy. ”
When Aunt He heard this, she dispelled the idea of not wanting to go home just now, but she became anxious, she forgot that if the old man was left alone in the family, she would be sick with those uneasy children.
