When it got dark, the snow began to fall again, and it became bigger and bigger, and the puff and puff never stopped.

Sent away the lost baby, went back to the house and saw Hao Shenmei in a daze, Ge Xinchou asked his two sons to go to sleep, and he started to clean up the table.

Hao Shenmei asked him: "It's snowing so hard, do you still have to go to work tomorrow, it's not good to ride." ”

"Let's go, it's better to walk in the snow, but it's even harder to walk when the snow clears, and I haven't received my salary this month."

"Then you should be careful on the road, don't rush back, safety first. The salary of the first few months, you either said that it was spent, or that it was collected by others, and it was not paid, this month's salary, what are you going to tell our father? ”

The year is closed, the New Year is passed, this looks like the New Year is coming, there are more people who collect debts, if you take the opportunity to say that your wages are blocked by people, you don't even have to pay a penny, Ge Zezhong is helpless, at most scolding a loser.

However, Hao Shenmei thought so, but did not say it explicitly.

She understands that her own man has always been in a contradiction, and he has been obedient to his parents for decades, if he was not forced to be helpless, he would not suddenly play Tai Chi with his parents, in fact, his own man is still twisting in his heart.

Ge Xinchou hesitated, and then said: "This month's salary will be paid in full, and we will do New Year's goods for the New Year." ”

As expected, Hao Shenmei nodded and asked again: "What about white noodles?" This time at work, it's time for the oil to come down. ”

Every year before the Chinese New Year, the cotton station will give more than ten catties of cottonseed oil to each employee, which is also a unique benefit for the employees of the cotton station.

Ge Xinchou replied: "The white noodles are all handed over, and a lot of white noodles will be used for the New Year, and I will keep half of the oil in the pipe." ”

Hao Shenmei didn't say anything, her own man was quite sensible, and he knew that he would leave half of the oil for himself.

The days in the wax moon passed in the countdown of Ge Kaituo's daily days, and in the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-sixth of the wax month.

Hao Shenmei sat on the edge of the kang, embroidered with a hundred zitu kang curtains on her hands, singing New Year's songs in her mouth, and watching Ge Kailin walk along the wall on the kang.

"Twenty-three, the Lord of the Stove goes to heaven; 24. Sweep the house; Twenty-five, make tofu; Twenty-six, stewed meat; Twenty-seven, make snacks; Twenty-eighth, fried twist; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Chinese New Year's Eve sticks pairs. ”

On the night of the ninth day of the lunar month, Hao Shenmei and Diwa decided to take over the work introduced by Diwa, and the next day, Diwa came to take away a small baby cloak embroidered by Hao Shenmei, and went to report to his boss.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, the weather is suddenly very cold, it has been several days, in addition to going to the toilet, Hao Shenmei is not allowed to go out of the house, nor is she allowed to go down the kang, she moved the quilt on the kang, Ge Kailin wants to practice walking, she can only be on the kang, Hao Shenmei added a thick layer of kang quilt to the kang, and she is not afraid of Ge Kailin falling.

G. Kailin was trying to walk with her hands without supporting the wall, and every time she couldn't walk a few steps, her body was tilted to the side.

Ge Kaituo circled on the ground and asked Hao Shenmei: "Mom, I'm drooling when you sing, I'm twenty-six today, why don't you stew big meat." ”

When Hao Shenmei taught the Ge Kaisen brothers to learn, Ge Kailin also listened to her, and asked Hao Shenmei for a pencil to write.

It's almost the New Year, the school has a winter vacation, and Hao Shenmei also gives the three babies a holiday.

The second boy's longing little eyes amused Hao Shenmei: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will eat it secretly, so the big meat will be stewed at the end." ”

In fact, today Ge Xinchou took Ge Kaisen to buy New Year's goods in the Tufan Commune next door on Bali Road from the village, where the supply and marketing cooperatives are larger, and there are many patterns and quantities of New Year's goods.

As usual, the New Year's goods are all handled by Ge Xinchou, Ge Zezhong does not give additional money, Ge Xinchou uses the salary received in the last month to handle all the New Year's goods first, and then hand over the remaining wages.

A few days ago, Ge Xinchou went home to do New Year's goods, but the unit suddenly called the village committee to say that something was wrong, and Ge Xinchou left in a hurry

Ge and Chou had an indispensable attitude, Ge Zezhong remained silent, and Ge Suichou couldn't count on it, so that Ge Xinchou, who came back from dark yesterday, had to do New Year's goods at this time.

Electrician Liu Hai killed a pig in the month of the month, and sold it to the purchase station of the Lindong Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative, to which Yicun belongs, and a small half, and the people in the village bought a part of it for a pound and a few taels, and when Ge Xinchou went to buy, Liu Hai refused to sell it again, saying that after his eldest sister married a city man, he led his son-in-law to celebrate the New Year at his mother's house for the first time this year, and the remaining meat had to be kept for his son-in-law.

Today is the 26th of the lunar month, many units have been on holiday, and I don't know that the Tufan Supply and Marketing Cooperatives still have no meat to sell.

Hao Shenmei talked to Ge Kaituo and Ge Kailin about the customs of the New Year, as well as the interesting things that happened in the village during the Chinese New Year in previous years.

When she was talking lively, she suddenly thought of something, put the work in her hand into the big closet, and while wearing a cotton coat, she explained to Ge Kaituo: "Tuowa, mom go out for a while, you look at your sister in the house, mom will come back in a while." ”

Ge Kaituo asked: "Mom, what are you going to do, what if my sister wants to go to the thatched house?" ”

With the improvement of the sister's body, the sister is becoming more and more particular, pee and have to go to the thatched house, this cold day, she can't take the urine helmet into the house, the mother is not there, and the sister is not allowed to follow herself into the thatched house, what if the sister falls in the thatched house.

Hao Shenmei hesitated for a moment, and simply said, "If it doesn't work, let her pull her pants, and I'll come back and clean it up for her." ”

Ge Kailin hurriedly said, "Mom, it's okay, I don't drink much water today." ”

I was curious, what was my mother in a hurry, and I mysteriously didn't tell the third brother.

"Alright, don't practice either, rest for a while." Hao Shenmei took out a schoolbag spliced of rags from the wardrobe and hurried out of the house.

Ge Xinchou and Ge Kaisen came back from the Tufan Commune, and when they saw Hao Shenmei walking around the entrance of the village, they looked over here from time to time, and Ge Kaisen called out to Hao Shenmei: "Mom, what are you doing, how cold it is standing there." ”

When they arrived in front of Hao Shenmei, Ge Xinchou stopped the bicycle, and Ge Kaisen slipped off the front beam of the bicycle.

"Oh, I want to see what they've bought." Hao Shenmei greeted him.

There is a canvas bag on the back seat of the car, and small noodle bags are hanging on both sides, and it seems that there are still a lot of New Year's goods.

Ge Xinchou complained: "Ouch, what are you in a hurry, you can't see it when you go home, you have to run outside the village to wait, you are not a little baby anymore, this cold day, don't freeze anymore, you can't live a good life during the New Year." ”

Complaining is complaining, Ge Xinchou still took the bag from the back seat of the car and opened it for Hao Shenmei to see.
