Chapter 94: The Festival

As soon as the new year is over, the wails and neighings of the big fat pigs echo one after another from far and near, and the family has the conditions to start killing the pigs.

The scene was so bloody and cruel that Parsley felt terrible, so she didn't dare to watch it.

The old sow of Duan Jiang's family rushed on Chinese New Year's Eve and laid down twelve pig babies. He slaughtered a boar and brought a lot of meat to the South Courtyard.

Taking advantage of the fresh pork, Parsley wanted to say that he was going to make dumplings to eat today, so Duan Yongyuan went into the kitchen to chop dumplings and stuffing.

Hong Cheng drove over and brought two bundles of green and delicious leek moss, as well as some other snacks.

His dad said, if you want to buy people's hearts and send money directly, people still think it's too vulgar, it's better to loosen something that can eat and drink, and there is a big article behind the chat!

Hong Cheng didn't believe it at first, but after trying three or two times, he found that his attitude in the South Courtyard was really different. Although Duan Wen put on a face every time he came, his old man never said anything to let him get out.

"Uncle, this leek moss is grown in someone's greenhouse, and I brought two handfuls for you to try." Hong Cheng spoke well, but he was extremely flattering, which made people inexplicably disgusted.

"Leek moss, just make dumplings to eat!" There is nothing else in Xiangqin's eyes except dumpling filling......

Hong Cheng followed Parsley into the kitchen, and saw Duan Yongyuan shaking his sour and tired hand, so he hurriedly pounced on it and snatched the knife from his hand, "Brother Yongzi, you're tired, you go out to eat something, I brought potato chips, which were fried by the chef of our hotel." ”

Duan Yongyuan moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but he still held back. He knew that Hong Cheng wanted to be alone with Parsley.

Hong Cheng took Duan Yongyuan's original position and struggled to chop up the dumpling filling.

Pound pound pound –

Parsley put the washed leek moss on another cutting board and slowly chop it into fine pieces.

"I'll give you something to eat." Hong Cheng took out a candy-like thing from his pocket, peeled off the golden candy paper, and quickly stuffed it into Parsley's mouth.

Parsley is tasted carefully, the mellow sweetness melts in the mouth, and there is a slight bitter taste.

"Chocolate?" Remembering that today is the 14th of February, Parsley suddenly felt that the chocolate in her mouth was difficult to melt.

Hong Cheng did not confess, but what he did was well-intentioned.

Parsley was somewhat moved, but not yet attached to him.

"It's delicious. It's not delicious, it's just the piece in your mouth. Hong Cheng looked happy.

Parsley didn't understand the meaning behind this piece of chocolate, "Three days and two ends to run to our village, why do you have so much time?" ”

"When the first day of the new year is over, I won't have time." Hong Cheng said, "At that time, our hotel business was at its best, and there were many people who invited guests to dinner. However, several waiters have gone home for the Chinese New Year, and there is a shortage of manpower, so even I have to help with chores. ”

Xiangqin remembered that Dajuan said that she wanted to go out to work to earn money, "Yes, if you are short of people, how about I introduce you to someone?" ”

"Male or female?" Hong Cheng asked subconsciously.

"Female. Nineteen. "There is no question of being a minor.

"Okay, I'll arrange it then. So if I make arrangements, what reward will you give me? ”

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It's not called bargaining, it's a typical shamelessness.

Parsley replied, "Is it chopped?" ”

"Okay."

Parsley rubbed the minced meat into a basin, beat two more eggs, and stirred well with the minced meat. Dressing the chopped leek moss into the meat filling, she put four spoonfuls of salt, half a spoonful of Sichuan pepper powder and half a spoonful of pepper, and put some monosodium glutamate and soy sauce.

It should be better than the dumplings with leek meat last time, and Parsley has this confidence.

Sure enough, the dumplings stuffed with leeks and moss responded very well, and I saw that Hong Cheng also ate two large bowls.

On Valentine's Day, Hong Cheng came running, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he came to stay up late with Parsley.

The Spring Festival couplets in front of the door of every household are pasted early, and the sound of crackling firecrackers is heard far and near.

Thirty children have to keep the New Year at night, adults and children have to stay up all night, the sound of firecrackers outside has never stopped, Duan Yongyuan also carried a string of firecrackers and took them out to join in the fun.

Hong Cheng brought fireworks and put them at the door of the South Courtyard, shining like daylight. The children in the neighborhood came to see the brilliant fire.

As soon as the first day of the Lunar New Year arrived, Duan Yongyuan couldn't wait to ask Duan Wen for the New Year's money.

"Master, press the New Year's money!" Duan Yongyuan stretched out his hand towards Duan Wen.

"If you kowtow to me, I'll give you New Year's money." In fact, Duan Yongyuan had prepared the red envelope early, and he was just joking when he said this.

Duan Yongyuan really knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Duan Wen several times.

Duan Wen gave him and Parsley, and each of them gave him a hundred yuan of New Year's money. It's all their own grandchildren and granddaughters, and it's not too much to give.

Xiangqin didn't want it, but was warned by Duan Wen: "No matter who gave it to you this year, how much it gave you, anyway, it's New Year's money, don't want it in vain!"

After that, Xiangqin also received fifty yuan of New Year's money from Xue Danfeng.

Hong Cheng also took out the red envelope that had been prepared early and stuffed it into Parsley's hand, a full five hundred and twenty yuan.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many people came to the South Courtyard to send New Year's money to Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan. came and did not be rude, Duan Wen naturally paid more or less tribute to their children.

On the seventh and eighth days of the new year, few people from every household come to ask about it.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Duan Wen's family was invited by Dou Hai to the Hongfu Hotel for dinner. Parsley naturally followed.

The text of the paragraph is unwilling, if it is a reunion dinner, the family can make a table by themselves, and they have to go to the hotel at a high cost, which is really a lot of money.

Hongfu Hotel is indeed overcrowded, and many people come here for reunion dinner.

After all, Dou Hai is the deputy county magistrate, with a big face, and it is not only the manager Guo Tao who came out to greet him, but also the big boss of the hotel, Hong Fu.

Hongfu Hotel occupies a large area, with a total of five floors, the first and second floors are spacious and gorgeous dining halls and exquisite private rooms, and the second floor and above are guest rooms. The traffic around the hotel is well connected, and there are many large and small shops.

It is said that the shops have been closed, and most of the shopkeepers are going home for the New Year.

Xiangqin saw a familiar face on the side of the road across the door, and she remembered that the person was Lawyer Tian who Li Rong brought to the Southern Court last time, and said what was the dispute over custody.

Lawyer Tian stood at the door of a place called "Zhongyuan Restaurant", and he obviously recognized Parsley, with a look of amazement.

Xiangqin is wearing a new dress made for her by Aizhi, and her peach-colored cotton jacket is bright and bright. There is also a row of rape flowers embroidered with yellow-green silk thread on the corner of the clothes, which is from Erjuan's handwriting.

Before going out, Aieda also braided her hair and put on a little makeup, and in her words, Parsley is really more beautiful than a movie actor!

Seeing that Lawyer Tian waved at her from afar, Xiangqin took out a hand from the hand warmer in response.

"Who?" Duan Yongyuan saw Xiangqin greeting someone, and thought that she was very familiar with that person.

"It's the lawyer Tian who returned to our courtyard last time." Parsley explained.

Duan Yongyuan's face turned green, and he walked to the hotel with parsley.

Hong Fu took them to the box on the second floor, looked at the parsley, touched the red envelope in his pocket, and looked quite strange, but finally couldn't help but take it out.

Guo Tao looked a little courteous, "Xiangqin, I'll take you around our hotel!" ”

Parsley was not very familiar with him, and seemed very reluctant.

At this time, Dou Hai said: "You little ones go out first, Yongzi, you too." Let's talk, Parsley, I'll talk to your grandfather about your mother this time. ”

Duan Qiuping was silent all the way, and she was happy to be able to eat a big meal, but when she heard Dou Hai say this, she was immediately disheartened. It turns out that coming out this time is not just as simple as having a reunion dinner.

When Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan left the box and saw Duan Yongyuan marveling at the luxury of the hotel, she remembered the first time she came to the hotel before she was reborn, and her expression was the same as his current one.

"You're just in time this time, and if you come one day late, our hotel won't welcome guests." I have a friend who got married and lent them the field. Guo Tao said as he walked, directly ignoring Duan Yongyuan, and a pair of bright eyes kept looking at Xiangqin.

Tang Sha is the foreman of the hotel, and the first thing she said when she saw Parsley was, "It's really ghostly." ”

Not to be outdone, "Do you dare to use this attitude to other guests?" How many guests have been scared away by you? ”

Duan Yongyuan saw that the other party was not good, so he asked Parsley in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”

"Hong Cheng's fiancΓ©e."

When she heard Xiangqin introduce her like this, Tang Sha felt a little proud, but she didn't realize that Xiangqin was not rare to the man she liked at all, and that sentence was also a mockery of her.

When she was on the first floor, Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan met Dajuan, who had only been working here for a few days.

Dajuan was serving food to the guests with a plate, and she was naturally happy to see them coming.

"Parsley, Yongzi, why are you two coming here?" Dajuan asked.

"Eat with my uncle and grandfather." Parsley said.

Before the two of them could say a few words, Tang Sha over there couldn't get used to it.

She ran over and instructed Erjuan, "Don't hurry up and serve the guests to the food!" ”

Erjuan was a little embarrassed, although she had only been here for a few days, she was very dissatisfied with this foreman.

She didn't pay attention to Tang Sha, and only said to Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan, "Then I'll go and get busy first."

Guo Tao wanted to take Xiangqin upstairs to watch, but Xiangqin wanted to go out to breathe, she hadn't been to the city for a long time, so she naturally wanted to take a good turn.

When Hong Cheng, who waited for the back hall, to hear the news from Dajuan's mouth, he immediately rushed out, but Xiangqin was no longer there.

"Human? Human? Hong Cheng ran from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the next floor. Seeing Guo Tao sticking his neck at the door of the hotel and not knowing what to see, he ran over and grabbed him and asked, "People?" Parsley? ”RS
