"Xiao Chen, the jujube trees in the yard have grown well this year, the jujubes are big, the kernels are small and the flesh is thick, fragrant and sweet, you liked to eat them the most when you were a child." My aunt said with a smile and took out a large handful of red dates from the bamboo basket.
"Hehe, thank you, auntie." Jiang Yichen took it with a smile, and then found a basin to connect it with water to clean.
Jiang Guoming went to make two cups of tea and served them to his sister and brother-in-law respectively. As for Qingqing, she used a microwave oven to heat a box of cow nǎi alone.
After a while, the five of them all sat on the sofa in the living room, and on the glass coffee table were red dates, chestnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, etc., brought by my aunt's family from the countryside. Other mountain goods such as bacon, dried mushrooms, and bamboo shoots were put on the balcony.
Everyone chatted about homely things while eating, and they were happy for a while.
The topic quickly turned to Qingqing, to say that this time she drove back to her hometown, she really showed her face.
When they arrived at Mopanzi Village the day before yesterday, the villagers watched curiously as this beautiful car drove into the village. At first, everyone thought that some of the city's road trip enthusiasts had gone the wrong way, because this is not a scenic tourist area.
Who knew that when the car stopped, a girl dressed as a city girl with a double ponytail opened the door and got out of the driver's seat, and the sharp-eyed villagers quickly recognized it, isn't that the wild girl Brother Qing'er? It immediately caused a sensation and spread quickly.
You must know that there has never been a female driver in the village, let alone a girl like Qingqing.
Qingqing returned home after sending Xizi home, and the villagers in the neighborhood came to visit the door that night, asking long and short questions, especially concerned about Qingqing's driving.
After Qingqing blasted away a few little children crawling around in the car at the gate of the courtyard, she didn't play subtle, and opened a lecture on car popularization knowledge in front of the villagers on the spot, and made fun of what she learned in driving schools and 4S shops, such as four-wheel drive, SUV, turbocharging, multi-link Duli suspension, etc. He also said that the car was bought by Chenzi's cousin in the city. The grade is very high, and even the township chief's car can't be compared.
The villagers let out a sigh of admiration, and commented that Qingqing knew so much, and it was really promising, which made her a big time in the limelight.
Everyone talked about it and had a lot of fun.
Qingqing also seemed to feel that the limelight was a bit excessive, and she didn't feel that her face was impressive. Twist it up.
"It's nothing, I think it's good, Qingqing is better than many people in this regard, and she doesn't have stage fright on big occasions. In the future, the staff training will make Qingqing go on, and Zhun Bao is a good teacher. It's a pity that I should report to the teacher teacher at the time of the high school entrance examination. Jiang Yichen praised with a smile.
Qingqing didn't say anything, and sat at the very end of the sofa. Take a small bite of a large red date and chew it slowly in your mouth. Pretending to be a good lady.
"Oh, by the way, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I forgot to buy a flower cannon." Jiang Yichen patted his head and remembered something.
"Hey, what are you buying that thing for? Besides, there are a lot of people who put it on the big night. Just look at it. Jiang Guoming felt that these fireworks were purely money-burning, and it was better to spend that money to buy a few catties of meat to eat.
"The New Year's is lively, and it is auspicious. I'm going out for a trip. Jiang Yichen said, got up and walked outside.
"I'm going too." When Qingqing heard that she was going to buy fireworks, she suddenly became interested and hurried to follow.
"Look at these two children, they haven't grown up yet." Jiang Guoming shook his head gently, and then began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together with his sister and brother-in-law.
Jiang Yichen went downstairs. drove out of the family area with Qingqing.
I didn't go far before I saw a lot of fireworks stalls on both sides of the main road, and many people were bargaining with the stall owners.
It is not as strictly regulated as in Lingjiang City, and you must have a franchise license to sell fireworks. Nearby farmers, laid-off workers, or something, go to the fireworks factory to wholesale a car, and put it on the side of the road to sell.
Jiang Yichen parked the car next to a large stall and came down to take a look. Ho, there are all kinds of varieties, and there are really a lot of varieties.
Now that people's living standards have improved, firecrackers and two-kickers that can only be heard have become marginal goods. The most popular main products are all kinds of fireworks bombs, the largest of which resembles a small water tank, and it is said that it can hit up to 100 meters in the sky.
I remembered the kind of small fireworks I played with when I was a child, resting on the ground and spitting fire, and a group of friends clapping and cheering. It's really amazing how times have changed.
At that time, there were also large fireworks bombs that bloomed in the sky, but they were all organized by the government during the celebrations, and the people could not afford to play at all.
Qingqing ran over excitedly, bent down to pick out the firecrackers, and asked the stall owner questions.
Jiang Yichen's eyes swept over the stall, and suddenly found that there were still long flashing mines for sale here, you must know that this thing is clearly prohibited by the above. Perhaps the stall owner had some scruples and left the flash mine in an inconspicuous place behind the seat.
Flash Thunder is known for its loud voice, fierce energy, shè Cheng Yuan, and can be fired continuously, and in the past, it was the most visible thing for the children in the family area during the New Year's Festival, and it belonged to luxury equipment. It's just that the price is a bit expensive, and he can't afford it at that time, and it's very greedy to watch others play.
This thing is very quiet and has a dazzling flash, not only for entertainment, but also for some use in the future.
For example, the island can be used as a signal flare, and if you encounter a shark during sea fishing, you can also use it to scare you.
Thinking of this, he asked the stall owner for a quote and bought two bundles, then took the rear of the car, opened the trunk, and put them into the cold space the moment he put them inside.
Then he returned to discuss with Qingqing, picked a lot of fireworks, and there were thousands of yuan in a calculation. Make a stall owner happy, and his face is like a blooming chrysanthemum.
At half past six o'clock in the evening, night fell, and the most important annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner opened.
Jiang Guoming's father and son, aunt, uncle, and Qingqing, the five of them sat around the dining table, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, enjoying this rare happy time.
The room has not been so lively for a long time, which makes Jiang Guoming's face red and his interest high.
This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was completed by him, his sister and brother-in-law for more than two hours, and it looks very fragrant and proud.
The dishes are very rich, chicken, duck and fish, prawns, vegetables and mushrooms, fried, stewed and stir-fried, large plates and small bowls, and there are many kinds of dishes.
Originally, it was supposed that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should be meat-based, but tonight the situation has changed.
Jiang Yichen brought back several vegetables, such as oily wheat cabbage, cabbage, loofah, zucchini, and cucumber, which were crisp and tender in taste and delicious in juice. This quality is obviously far superior to the home-grown farmhouse vegetables in the countryside, no wonder before coming this time, Qingqing insisted on not allowing green vegetables.
As a result, everyone invariably extended their chopsticks frequently to vegetarian foods such as vegetarian fried oil and wheat vegetables, garlic and cucumbers, and instead put the main dish cooked with Jing heart, which symbolizes the prosperity and surplus of braised carp every year, and left it aside after moving two chopsticks.
Vegetarian dishes are actually dominating, which is also unexpected by everyone.
At eight o'clock, the dinner ended, everyone cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and gathered on the sofa to watch CCTV's Chun Festival Gala.
To say that this chun is criticized every year, but people also look at it every year, from the countryside to the city, it has almost become a habit.
In fact, I want to open, the family reunion on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, look at the chun night is just a lively picture, on the stage, off the stage, in front of the screen everyone is happy, no need to be too demanding.
I saw that at ten o'clock, my aunt went to the kitchen to bring the mixed dough and three fresh fillings, and then put the panel on the coffee table, and everyone wrapped the dumplings again. Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings are a fixture in every household and are indispensable.
At eleven o'clock, the dumplings are finished and only wait for midnight to be cooked.
At this time, Jiang Yichen proposed to set off fireworks together, which was the highlight of tonight.
Qingqing also enthusiastically encouraged her father and mother, so everyone went downstairs to board the car together, and Jiang Yichen drove to the edge of an open space outside the gate of the family area.
This is the area designated by the community management office to put up a notice, and many people are already present at this time.
People began to set off fireworks one after another, one after another, the laughter of men, women and children, the explosion of fireworks in the air, and the sound of snorting and burning.
Jiang Yichen got out of the car and opened the trunk, and moved things down from beckoning Qingqing. I found a free place and lined them up in turn
