After breakfast, Li Xuemei didn't let Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoqing clean up together, this is the first month of the year, the children are not happy, I am afraid that I will suffer for the rest of my life.

Pack it up.

Li Xuemei also prepared the lunch meal in advance.

Last night was an example.

This lunch is still ready at home, and the children in the province will come back with them, and they can't even eat a hot New Year's dinner.

Four bowls of steaming bowls This is a must-have, a braised fish, a large plate of cabbage tofu, and two vegetarian dishes, preserved egg tofu, and a mung bean sprout mixed with vermicelli.

It's all ready-made dishes, Li Xuemei is almost tinkering, as long as she comes back, she can get started and eat it.

And leftover dumplings.

Then the family went out to the old house of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, and along the way, I also saw acquaintances all pay New Year's greetings.

In a village, they are all going out to visit the New Year.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei led the children to Grandma Zhang's house first, and Gu Xiaojie was still at someone's house.

As soon as they entered the door, Grandma Zhang and Aunt Zhang were sitting on the kang at home, Gu Xiaojie and Zhang Zijie were picking up firecrackers in the yard, those firecrackers that were not completely ignited were the favorites of the children in the village, especially the boys.

They all wanted to follow the crumbs of firecrackers in the village, and their little eyes were shining, their pockets were bulging, and they still held a small piece of artillery incense in their hands.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai came in as soon as they pushed the door, and the door was closed for the New Year, so everyone who paid New Year's greetings would enter by pushing the door.

"Aunt Zhang, have a good New Year."

"Sister-in-law, happy New Year, where is Brother Zhang?"

The two of them hurried to pay New Year's greetings, the Zhang family was helping to take Gu Xiaojie for a few months in the autumn, although a few years ago, Li Xuemei bought a knife of three catties of pork and two catties of peach crisp, and two catties of apples came to thank the Zhang family for taking care of Gu Xiaojie.

Being Grandma Zhang is a lot of down, if it weren't for Li Xuemei's good eloquence now, she wouldn't be able to put things down.

After all, in the past few months, Gu Xiaojie has eaten a lot of things in other people's homes, at least there must be a meal at noon, and other children's children can't help but give Gu Xiaojie any snacks, so Gu Xiaojie followed Zhang Zijie to eat other people's things.

In these years, no one is rich, the Zhang family has long been separated, but the Zhang family has a large population, and the boss takes Mrs. Zhang to live together, and there are two young men in the family who have reached the age of starting a family, and there are small ones at the bottom, and there are mouths for eating everywhere.

So Li Xuemei knows that she doesn't have many things, and she really has a heart.

Grandma Zhang has a little problem with her legs, she has a problem with her old cold legs, and in winter, it hurts, and it is a problem to walk, this is not sitting on the kang, and there is a bullshit mattress on her legs.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly got off the ground, beckoned Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai to sit down, brought the sugar balls and melon seeds and peanuts on the table at hand, and placed them in front of Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai.

"Happy New Year. Your eldest brother went to the door. Eat a candy ball and have a sweet mouth. ”

also enthusiastically grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into the hands of Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai.

Li Xuemei took it with a smile, rural people are honest people, if you don't accept other people's things during the New Year, you will be told that you will look down on people.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, let's just come over and take a look, the New Year, all year round, this is just too happy."

Sister-in-law Zhang likes Li Xuemei's coolness very much.

Originally, Li Xuemei couldn't help herself in those years, and she didn't talk much, no matter how much persuasion she had in her heart, she couldn't stand up to others and ignore it.

But now the two families are close because of their children, and Li Xuemei is different from before, and Sister-in-law Zhang and Li Xuemei are familiar at first sight.

"Look at your sweet mouth, is my family's sugar delicious, or have you drunk sugar water?"

Li Xuemei smiled.

shouted at Zhang Zijie, who was still squatting on the ground: "Jiezi, come and greet your aunt for the New Year." ”

Zhang Zijie was embarrassed to pull Gu Xiaojie over together, bit his lip a little shyly, bowed to Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei, and said, "Uncle, aunt, happy New Year." ”

Then he smiled shyly and wanted to turn around and walk away.

was grabbed by Li Xuemei.

"What's the matter, the New Year's money given by my aunt has grown up for another year."

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of money and stuffed it into Zhang Zijie's pocket.

Sister-in-law Zhang was anxious to pull and was pressed by Li Xuemei's wrist, "Sister-in-law, you're not right, every elder of this family gives the junior New Year's money, this is what I gave to Jiezi, not for you, you can't stop it." This is a piece of my heart as an elder. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang opened her mouth, and finally gave Li Xuemei a gentle slap, "Okay, okay, as long as you are an elder, I can't control it as a mother." ”

Zhang Zijie and Gu Xiaojie rushed to the courtyard.

Gu Ruhai shouted behind his back: "Gu Xiaojie, don't go, I'm going to your grandmother later." ”

Gu Xiaojie agreed, "Dad, I'll just play in the yard and don't go far." ”

Zhang Zijie and Gu Xiaojie hid in the leeward place in the corner with a smile, Zhang Zijie took out a piece of money that Li Xuemei stuffed in just now from his pocket, because when he pulled it, the brand-new money was already wrinkled.

But Zhang Zijie was still full of joy to smooth out those wrinkles, and said to Gu Xiaojie: "Your parents are really rich, they gave me a dollar." My parents just gave me five cents. ”

Gu Xiaojie said shyly: "Then my mother still thinks that we are good buddies in the two lives, otherwise I won't give you so much." ”

Zhang Zijie nodded, too, and didn't look at the relationship between the two of them.

After a while, Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai said goodbye and took Gu Xiaojie away.

Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoqing did not go with the two of them.

Because these two children are older and have their own playmates, this is also a New Year's greeting.

So the two sisters wanted to go to a friend's house with them, and they paid New Year's greetings by the way.

Just rush to your grandmother's house for a while to pay New Year's greetings.

When Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei took Gu Xiaojie into the gate of Gu's house, Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoqing also arrived.

The family of five bowed to Old Man Gu and Mrs. Gu seriously.

Sitting on the edge of the kang and wearing a neat board, the old man Gu and the old lady Gu gave a dime of a cent to a child.

Even if Gu Xiaojie didn't know how much it was, he felt different from the ones in his pocket when he held it in his hand.

Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying have long been used to it, this year they were probably surprised by Gu Ruhai's huge changes during this time, and they were willing to give a dime, in previous years, Mrs. Gu was a dime.

Gu Xiaoqing glanced at the clothes on Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu, which were still the padded jackets that her mother had pulled.
