Chapter 304: Celebration of the Whole World (4,000 words)
The cutting board is not flat, the summer is chopping sauerkraut, chopping sauerkraut and leeks, tonight the Ye family makes dumplings with two kinds of fillings.
The king lotus next to him is frying eggs, and the noisy pieces are ready and filled, and the leek eggs are directly wrapped at night, saving the middle of the night too busy.
Song Yaping, who was in the house, heard the clanging movement in the kitchen, and reminded Summer habitually: "Summer! Summer? Your cutting board isn't flat, you can't hear it. β
Summer touched her nose and pulled out a rag under the cutting board and threw it aside, she didn't have any technical difficulty in chopping dumpling filling, and she was full of memories of what happened in Lishu Village.
Her mother said that it was quite unpleasant to have a quarrel with her uncle's family because of her grandmother's hospitalization fees. Did her father and grandparents go there today? Alas! I don't even have a phone call, I want to pay New Year's greetings to my grandmother, I want to hear the voice of my family, and I want to ask her how her father is.
In the first year of marriage in the summer, on the day of the Spring Festival, I was a little homesick.
But who is Summer? It was an optimistic little steel cannon, basically a small thing and a small loss couldn't hit her, she persuaded herself:
Come on, you can't think about it, it's nice to have a light bulb! My father and grandmother have food and drink, they haven't caught up with any disasters, they don't live in mountain bags, they are convenient to travel, and their aunt has a good relationship with her family, and their brother-in-law is close, and they are relatively capable in their Nagada place.
Summer persuaded herself to compare with the miserable, so the happiness index rose sharply, you see, thinking about the problem so much better, she felt that she was so happy that she didn't want it.
Summer's eyes were bright and she grinned. The chopping vegetables is more energetic. Wrapping dumplings for dozens of people in one go, no panting, no effort.
Song Yaping finished wiping the coffee table, glanced at the big cabinet in the living room, went to the wine cabinet to open the glass door, carefully wiped the semiconductor radio, and then turned it on, adjusted the table, the New Year, the day when everyone is celebrating, they also listen to how the people of the whole country celebrate the festival. Let the radio have a movement, and it seems that the family is popular.
The Ye family has a relatively simple meal in the morning. Song Yaping, Summer. Take out a king lotus, simply fry some vegetables, simmer a little rice and deal with it, the important meal. It's dumplings at three o'clock in the afternoon and midnight.
It's just that no matter what the meal is, it's not a reunion. Ye Boxuan and Ye Boting brothers and sisters both perform their own duties. On the 30th day, standing on the last shift, Ye Zhiqing wanted to spend the festival with the grassroots officers and soldiers.
And what about them. They all ate less, so Song Yaping reduced the perfect ten dishes to six dishes, so they were not busy, and the three women were busy with the things at hand in an orderly manner.
Xia Ai Country in Lishu Village is relatively busy at this time. The Xia family is a rural family, and bathing is a troublesome thing when the house is ventilated on all sides.
The old lady was the first to wash her hair and wipe her body, and entered the hut with a large basin of hot water, she wanted to wipe the back of Old Man Xia well.
Xia Aiguo took Xia Qiu and Xia Dong to take a combat bath in the more humble environment of the warehouse.
As soon as Xia Aiguo and Xia Qiu touched Dongzi, Dongzi giggled and dodged. Xia Aiguo reprimanded Xia Dong especially angrily: "Don't stink, do you think your brother and I are playing with you?" Did you see the skate outside? If you don't wash it in ten minutes, you'll have to do that. β
There was a cloth sheet in the kitchen in the back room, and in it were Su Meili and Xiao Mao.
"Auntie, IβI'll rub your back."
Xiao Mao washed his face and blushed, and his hair became a little longer, no longer so short hair.
Because she had just washed her hair, Su Meili understood it this time, no wonder this girl cut such a strange hairstyle, it was really self-curling, but there were a lot of volumes, like the old Maozi (foreigner) in the past. It's not peaceful outside, and it's unjust enough to be censored and criticized because of this matter.
"Xiao Mao, wait for the second day of February, my aunt will cut your hair."
Xiao Mao grinned and said, "Thank you, Lady." She knew that she didn't even have to explain why she was wearing a brat hair, and the others would automatically and consciously let her continue to wear such a hairstyle.
Xiao Mao rubbed Su Meili's back, and listened to Su Meili chatter: "Tian Tian doesn't know what's going on, over the years, except for the first year of being a soldier, I spent the rest in the army, and the rest are with us, that little girl may have coaxed your grandparents, and she is not there anymore." The tone was rather lost.
Xiao Mao knew that Su Meili was thinking about summer, and explained Su Meimei: "It must be good, she is blessed and has a good heart." β
Su Meili looked back in surprise: "You don't stutter anymore, do you?" β
"It's just a hurry, just, just stutter, hehe." Xiao Mao's face turned a little red, and she just finished praising her, and after a few words, the prototype was exposed.
Su Meili nodded, and when she came to her mouth, "I don't know what your parents are like, because they threw you away," she suffocated back alive.
It's just that when the two of them entered the big house, Su Meili climbed onto the kang, took out a red cotton jacket from the kang cabinet, and handed it to Xiao Mao:
"This is what Tian Tian wore when she was a girl at home, fresh, I haven't worn it a few times, I had to bring it to her when I got married, but I forgot about it. Alas! I guess it's not rare to wear now, I think the people in Kyoto are very plain, not so fancy. You wear it. β
Xiao Mao's eyes were red, how long had she been, and she didn't have a decent girl's clothes.
Xiao Mao lowered her head and inhaled vigorously, afraid that falling tears would make Su Meili feel unlucky. But she couldn't help it, she felt that there was a place in her heart that was not decently soft, that place was not only soft, but it would make her sour when touched, with a sore nose and sore eyes.
How old is Su Meimei, what do you not understand, pretending not to know that this child has ups and downs in her heart, she took the first step to get off the kang, and instructed as if nothing happened:
"Make more of that meal in the evening, although this meal is eaten separately, but let's try to be lively, and then go to your uncle and aunt in the middle of the night to eat dumplings and keep the New Year, you have good skills, hurry up and help."
Xiao Mao nodded excitedly, this is the first time the eldest lady has praised her, her eyes are brighter than usual, Xia Qiu just finished taking a shower and entered the house, seeing such a Xiao Mao, I just felt that it was not enough to hurt her.
Because Xiaomao is not only a problem of lack of food and drink, she used to have a father and mother. Now there is no more, lonely and miserable, for Xiao Mao, what she really lacks is feelings, that strong bond.
Xia Qiu took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house, walked up to Xiao Mao, squeezed Xiao Mao's hand, rubbed her head, and said, "It's so beautiful." He quickly stuffed a few pieces of sugar in the pocket of his little woolen jacket.
Xiao Mao walked briskly and hurriedly went out of the house to work in the kitchen.
Song Yaping raised her glass to greet Xia Xia and Wang Lotus: "Come, let's take a sip too." This is wine. There is no degree, although it is just us, but we also have to have a good New Year. β
Summer picked up the wine glass and looked directly into Song Yaping's eyes: "Mom." I wish you good health in the new year. Nothing worries about us. "I want to say something more that touches the situation. As a result, Song Yaping interrupted funny:
"Pull it down, it's sweet, you can promise me not to worry about it anymore. As for the heart I usually. I don't think I'll be able to save it in my life. β
Summer squeaks and whimpers, blushing, wanting to say something, but in the end the words are exhausted, and the laughter of the three women surrounds the dining table.
In the summer, I slept for an hour in the first half of the night to recuperate, and when I got up, I wore a red cardigan and stood in the kitchen to make dumplings.
Because of this red cardigan, she was also scolded.
I knitted myself a white pullover turtleneck sweater in the summer, which really looked beautiful in this era. She looked in the mirror and felt that she was very pure, so beautiful that her heart was bubbling, and she felt that Ye Boxuan would be infatuated with her.
As a result, when she went downstairs, she was scolded by Song Yaping for being brainless, saying that she had known that she had spent money to buy white wool and knitted white sweaters for half a night and half a night, and she had confiscated it a long time ago.
Song Yaping scolded while going back to the house to rummage through the wardrobe and found the red sweater she was wearing at this time in the summer.
Summer was puzzled and asked if it was from the pavilion, Song Yaping replied a little embarrassed: "Mom thought you bought the yarn yourself, so you only knitted sweaters for the pavilion." I knew I would bring you one too. β
Song Yaping glanced at the summer and found that she was not unhappy before she stepped down. You said that your daughter didn't give them anything, and she didn't remember that her parents came, or the new clothes made by her daughter-in-law, but the result was good, but she only knitted sweaters for her daughter in private, and forgot about her daughter-in-law.
Summer didn't realize in her heart that she had to be unhappy and picky about it, so she felt that the result was important.
As a result, she picked up a big red pure wool sweater. Pure hair! It's a lot more expensive than her wool, and you don't have to knit it yourself, which is really good, so you can be scolded.
I regret it in the summer, and I feel that I should be scolded. It's not like to wear white or something on the New Year's Day, why is she like a lack of heart, just to show off her beauty, elegant temperament like an orchid, and even forget to avoid it.
So in the summer, she is really like a newly married little daughter-in-law, combing a ponytail and wearing a red sweater to stand in the kitchen twice and pinch out a dumpling. The speed of making dumplings is very fast, but it doesn't look as good as others.
In Song Yaping's opinion, she is not meticulous in doing anything in summer, but Song Yaping is not in the kitchen at this time, she is in the living room.
"Mom......" The summer was broken, and Song Yaping was not disturbed, and the summer suddenly became a little sad.
Summer felt that she had negligence in the large-scale performance of the military wife last time. That loophole is why I didn't take a few photos of the leader's wife, especially the scene of the New Year's holiday.
Their living environment is much better than that of ordinary military wives, but during the New Year, they can't see the shadow of their husbands. The larger the festival, the more they have to be accompanied by loneliness.
Song Yaping wiped the photo of Zhen Yuxian placed in the middle of the round table in the living room, and whispered to the photo:
"Mom, in previous years, you all came to accompany me for the holidays, I remember that when you were there, you would be here for the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then go back to the second child's house in the second year of junior high school. But my dad won't come over this year...... How nice it would be if you were still there...... The children are not around, Zhiqing went to the grassroots, thanks to having a daughter-in-law, otherwise it would be me. You, too, have a good ...... over there."
After Song Yaping finished speaking, she held the photo and looked out the window, listening to the sound of firecrackers in every household at almost twelve o'clock in the morning, and stopped in front of the window, thinking about her children in the distance.
Have you eaten dumplings? Does Bo Xuan have to be toasted and drunk too much again? There should be no patients in the pavilion at this time, right? I don't know if I can eat it hot.
Summer slowly retreats to the kitchen, pretending she hasn't seen it.
"Mom, eat dumplings!" Summer adjusted his tone, took out a joyful movement, held the dumpling plate with both hands, and shook it around, twisted his waist and hips, twisted to the dining table, put a plate of dumplings and turned around and said to Song Yaping with a smile:
"Rich and prosperous people are safe", put down another plate of dumplings: "Fuxing Gaozhao family harmony", picked up the wine bottle on the table, and knocked on the table: "Horizontal batch, all the best!" β
Song Yaping put on a posture of wanting to pick up the wine bottle from afar: "Oh, you girl, what should you do if you break the wine bottle for your father again!" β
Summer raised her eyebrows and pinched her waist: "That's the peace of the year!" Mom, Ann La! He patted Song Yaping's arm.
"I can't finish you up."
Under the chaos of the Ye family in the summer, the world of the three of them seems to be very lively......
Uncle Xia gestured with both hands: "It's almost twelve o'clock, Daddy, you sit on the kang, the big guy has to kowtow!" β
Dongzi in the kitchen was running wildly with Xia Jun, that is, the little uncle with his little nephew, and the noise was loud.
Although Zhang Qiao is not welcomed, what kind of day is this, whether it is Su Meili or Xiaomao, they don't find fault, listening to Zhang Qiao's nonsense.
Zheng Sancai also kept talking about Xia Ling. Zhang Qiaokua and Zheng Sancai echoed it, in Xiaomao's ears, it was a bit of a braggart, but she endured it.
But when Zheng Sancai pointed at Su Meili with words, it meant that Xia Ling's conditions were not only no worse than Tiantian, but she was also well married, and Xia Ling was pregnant, and she could occupy her heels in her in-law's house, and she was very happy, and Xia didn't know what to do, Xiaomao didn't like to listen to it, she felt that she couldn't bear it.
Nag and chatter, we can't endure it for half a night, but you are holding a girl who is stepping on my family, that's not good:
"Auntie, are you a daughter?" The love xΓΉ was excited, Xiao Mao secretly reminded himself not to be excited, and when he was excited, he stammered, affecting the beautiful love of the eldest mother Su.
Zheng Sancai replied casually: "Two, you don't know? β
Xiao Mao thought about it, I don't know anything, I know that I asked you this:
"Then why don't you mention it, mention the other? Hehe, I thought it was just one. β
After speaking, he turned his head and pretended to be ignorant and looked at Su Meimei: "Auntie, it's been half a day since you entered the house, did you hear Sister Tida?" β
Su Meili shook her head, with a smile on her face, and she was actually about to laugh out loud.
Zheng Sancai understood, this little stutter buried her.
Zheng Sancai has to be bored when she is angry, otherwise her old man will have to beat her to death later. In the afternoon, the two families ate separately, and their own masters smashed their chopsticks and scolded her: "If it weren't for a few of your mothers, my father and mother would be sitting at our house for dinner now!" β
Uncle Xia shouted a few times, the big guys were all here, there were old man Xia and the old lady sitting by the kang, the old man Xia looked at a room of juniors who were going to kneel down and kowtow to him to pay New Year's greetings, and felt that he was in a trance, and felt that Aihua, patriotism, and Aiqin had never had any contradictions or wars.
Xiao Mao also knelt down with Putong, the old lady was very happy, Old Man Xia didn't like Xiao Mao, and said very strictly: "You don't need it, outsiders don't need it." β
Xiao Mao knelt behind Xia Qiu, looked up at Old Man Xia seriously and said, "I'll be Sister Xia, Grandpa." (To be continued......)
