The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended like this, and everyone's belly was round. Zhang Chen's mouth was full of melon seeds and peanuts, and his cheeks were bulging.

Grandma was too old to stay up late, so she went back to the house early.

Li Jun, Zhang Yang, Zhang Chen, and Li Aobai played poker together, while Zhang Xiaoqiang was on the side to advise her husband.

Chinese New Year's Eve, just like that.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was still cold. The dumplings that were not cooked yesterday were left in the yard, frozen and hard. The emphasis in the countryside is that you can't sweep the floor on the first day of junior high school, so it's more idle in the morning.

For breakfast, Zhang Xiaoqiang made whistle noodles, which were steaming. The whistle fried in advance just burned some whistle soup, and then the noodles were served. The thin and light noodles, the red and fragrant soup, and the delicious rice are all said to be delicious.

Grandma talked about some things about the New Year, and everyone did it.

Then the second year of junior high school followed. Early in the morning, Li Xianglan's family was ushered in. Li Xianglan's husband rode a tricycle and dragged her and her two children. As soon as I got to the door, I called Mom. Shen Cuihua almost ran over, picked up her grandson, and kissed her left and right.

Li Xianglan hasn't been here for a while. Zhang Xiaoqiang noticed that the two children were still dirty and had not changed much. She herself is also sloppy, and there seems to be a bruise on her left eye.

Shen Cuihua also saw it, she called Li Xianglan aside and asked, "Did he beat you again?" ”

Li Xianglan secretly glanced at her husband and nodded.

According to everyone's understanding of Li Xianglan's husband, this man is also a deflated calf. I don't like to be angry. If it's really a hit, it's a hand that only moves when you're angry. But this Shen Cuihua is a caretaker, and she doesn't care about the atmosphere of the New Year. scolded his son-in-law: "You are a three-dog, you have a lot of skills, and you actually beat your wife." ”

This nickname Sangouzi is Li Xianglan's husband, and he is also extremely thin, which does not match Li Xianglan's huge physique. If the two of them really want to make a move, they really don't know who will hit whom.

When the three dogs heard this, they hurriedly said, "My own mother." Look at it, she beat me. As he spoke, he brushed his hair away, and there was a piece of ground in the middle that had not grown. The wound in the middle is shocking. Everyone present saw it, this is really dark, don't you want to die.

Li Aobai asked Li Xianglan, "Sister, how can you be like this?" ”

Li Xianglan also said with a look of grievance: "It's all his fault." He nudged me first. Then I slammed it with a shovel, but he punched me in the eye, and it was like this for more than half a month. ”

Where is this fight between two people, they are about to become a martial artist.

Zhang Xiaoqiang called a basin of hot water and helped the child wash off the snot marks on his face first. The little face was frozen, and every time he wiped it, the child hid it. She asked Li Xianglan, "Sister, why did the child's face become like this?" Do you usually wash it with hot water? ”

Li Xianglan said: "On such a cold day, they still have to play everywhere. When you wash it, you call it, and you simply don't wash it. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang coaxed with a candy cube in one hand, and asked Li Aobai to wash it gently. The faces of the two children were washed, but the basin of water turned black.

Li Dabiao looked at the washed water and his daughter and son-in-law on the side, and shook his head helplessly.

Grandma was distressed and hugged her two great-grandsons in her arms, Zhang Xiaoqiang brought sesame oil, gently wiped it on the child's face, and gave the prepared red envelope to the child by the way. The child smiled happily and didn't say anything like thank you. It seems that this Li Xianglan has not taught these children at home.

The grandmother said to the two great-grandchildren: "Baby, you should thank your aunt and uncle, and say Happy New Year!" When the boss heard this, he quickly said, "Happy New Year, Concubine!" The second child didn't speak, just opened the red envelope and said, "Mom, look, money!" ”

At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard, and another guest came to the door. Everyone went out of the house to greet the guests. The people who came were Li Aobai's two aunts, and they were not far from married. Li Aobai took his aunt's things and let them into the house.

Grandma was very happy to see her daughter coming. Yes, for elderly people, when a girl comes during the New Year, they can eat their daughter's snacks and enjoy their filial piety, which is better than anything else.

These two girls are younger than Li Dabiao, Li Eryu and Li Xiaoyu, they sat on the edge of the kang and started a family routine with Li Dabiao.

Zhang Xiaoqiang brewed some jasmine tea and brought it up. Li Eryu said: "This white daughter-in-law is getting more and more handsome, and she looks much better than when she first got married." It seems that our old Li family's water raises people, and the white baby is so blessed. ”

Li Xiaoyu followed and said: "Baiwa has become a big official in the army, and when that kid from my family graduates, he will go to you and get him an official." ”

Rural people are like this, hoping that one person will attain the Tao and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven.

Li Aobai said: "Where you are a big official, you are a soldier in the army. ”

Li Eryu said: "Don't be modest, who doesn't know the Li family kid in Sili and Eight Villages, in a big city, he is still a big officer." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "This is all raised by the villagers. ”

Li Xiaoyu said: "We are all relatives, don't see each other like this, you guys are good, help the big guys." Let our poor relatives follow suit. ”

Shen Cuihua took over the topic and said: "People are helping my mother's family, you didn't see it, the two brothers were brought to the army to enjoy happiness." ”

Li Xianglan looked at Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen in the house, dressed like a baby in the city. She said to Li Aobai: "I said big brother, this is not right. I'm your sister, or you can take me and your brother-in-law with you. I can't stay in this broken countryside for a day, you see we are shabby. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't listen anymore, she said, "You guys sit, I'll go prepare the whistle noodles." ”

She turned and walked out of the house and into the kitchen. Li Aobai also came out and followed him into the kitchen.

The two aunts said, "You said that our eldest nephew is very afraid of his daughter-in-law." The son of the old Hu family in our village became an official in the county and got all his sisters to work as workers in the factory. Our eldest nephew is also an official, why can't he do it? ”

Grandma said: "Our white baby is in the army, and those who are soldiers are disciplined, and everything must be arranged by the state." ”

As soon as the grandmother spoke, the two aunts were silent. Li Xianglan pursed her lips and ate the melon seeds, and the melon seed skin was thrown to the ground.

Zhang Chen was playing with the two little dolls, peeling melon seeds and feeding them to the little dolls' mouths. Grandma likes Zhang Chen very much, and she exaggerates Chen's sensibility.

While chatting, Li Aobai moved the things on the big table, put chopsticks on the table, and served spicy seeds and vinegar sauce. Zhang Yang served whistle noodles to everyone one by one, and beckoned everyone to eat quickly. (To be continued.) )
