Chapter 47: Some Miscellaneous Things Before Chinese New Year's Eve
Last night, Zhang Bo came home late from the hospital because Miao Er's stable mind. Zhang Bo let out a long sigh of relief, and the page turned over for the time being. After coming back, Zhu Rong didn't ask much, drank a little sweet porridge and rested.
Although Zhu Rong is not married, she is actually a housewife. Shi Yan is also a member of the family, cleaning inside and out.
Li Yi's daughters, the eldest is called Hua Lan, the younger is called Hua Xiang, one is fifteen years old, the other is seventeen years old, both are studying in the county No. 1 middle school, since the twenty-sixth holiday, the sisters have lived in Zhang Bo's house according to their mother's instructions. Zhang Bo and Zhu Rongshiyan drove two cars in the county vegetable market to complete the New Year's goods in one morning.
At noon, Zhu Rongshiyan cleaned up all the New Year's goods, keeping those who should be fresh, and making cooked food that should be cooked, such as chicken, duck and ham.
Flower Basket Huaxiang is responsible for making stuffing and bread dumplings, Zhang Bo can't do anything, a family of three surnames, and their faces are all festive with the Spring Festival.
Zhang Bo was in the study, sorting out the grand masterpiece. This is a long novel, the kind of orthodox literature, the article will soon be concluded, in which the needle is the current situation, laughter and anger, all jumped on the paper, "The Ballad of the Reclining Buddha" is a long song, like crying and complaining, like a scalpel, cutting through the sores that hinder social progress, mercilessly, at the same time, praising the hometown, singing about the times.
Zhang Bo thought: There is another word to write after the Spring Festival, after writing, entrusted to the painter's sister, in terms of publication and publication procedures, he is a big layman, he can't slap a swollen face and become fat, and make a joke that eggs can warm up a big cow.
Zhang Bo divided the manuscript into volumes, took out 15,000 yuan from the drawer of the desk, three copies of the molecule, wrapped it in red paper, and put it in the drawer. I took out my phone and dialed it.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, is the child obedient? The voice of Li Yi's wife, Cui Ping.
"Obedient, they are all students, and they are managed by Zhu Rong. How is Li Yi doing these days? Zhang Bo greetings.
"He seems to be feeling better and wants to go home." Cui Ping's voice was a little hoarse.
"Why don't you tell the hospital, go home for the New Year, and talk about it after the New Year." That's what Zhang Bo actually planned.
"I'll go talk to the doctor, hang up!" Cui Ping said that she also returned to her heart like an arrow, missing the fragrance of the flower basket.
"Uncle, eat." Hua Xiang stood at the door of the study, her bright eyes were a little timid, or shy, or embarrassed to live in someone else's house, and the author couldn't say. waited until Zhang Bo finished the phone call before shouting.
"Huaxiang, let's go, eat, and take a look at what Teacher Zhu cooks." Zhang Bo walked out with the fragrance of flowers, and he looked at his watch by inertia, and it was only twelve o'clock. It's not late for dinner.
"Dumplings, as well as stir-fried vegetables, the dumplings were taught to me by Mr. Zhu." The fragrance of flowers is 1510 said.
"It's good to love your work." Zhang Bo and Hua Xiang walked out of the study and came to the living room from the corridor, a table of food was fragrant, and a flower basket was putting chopsticks in front of the table. According to the rule passed down from our ancestors, chopsticks must be used to eat.
Shi Yan said: "Uncle Zhang, don't be polite to come to my house, you are old, please take a seat." "She's very naughty.
"It's your uncle's family, not yours, is there any mistake." Hua Xiang was very serious and pouted.
"Just kidding, what do you know, so many meals, I'll gag your mouth in a while." The flower basket is two years older and knows everything. She is very innocent, and she wears a ponytail like Shi Yan. Laughing flowers are stupid.
"Who knows that you guys are funny, please forgive me." Hua Xiang is also very well-behaved, her brain is savage, and she wears two long braids.
"That's right, let's eat." Zhang Bo was infected by the innocence of the children, and he had a smile and no deep expression.
Zhu Rong walked in, took off his apron, turned on the Haier TV, and sat down under Zhang Bo.
"What does it seem to be on the table today?" Zhang Bo asked Zhu Rong.
"Don't drink, someone will come in the evening." Zhu Rong threw a smile, she knew Zhang Bo's intentions.
"It's so strict, how to live in the future." Shi Yan deliberately said with a procrastinating voice.
"Dead girl, you want to be a traitor Wang Lianju." Zhu Rong pretended to be stunned.
"Don't be angry, you sit down, I'll serve you dumplings first." Shi Yan began to serve rice. Dumplings were put in each bowl, and everyone began to eat.
"Uncle, you eat vegetables." The flower basket saw Zhang Bo eating dumplings and not eating vegetables.
"Teacher, you eat too." Hua Xiang is very smart, Zhu Rong and Zhang Bo smiled at each other, very understanding. "I'm jealous, no one cares about me, I'm going to cry out loud." Shi Yan said mischievously, it's funny.
Huaxiang sandwiched a piece of large pork ribs and put it in Shi Yan's bowl, and Shi Yan smiled "fluttering".
"My sister is funny." Hana smiled.
That's it, everyone, you say a word, I say a word, lively, talk and laugh, like a family, eat and laugh.
The sky will be dark, the lights of thousands of homes illuminate the night sky, from time to time there is the sound of small firecrackers, intermittently, that is those playful children to get it, put the firecrackers in the snow, light the twist, "bang", snowflakes splash.
Zhang Bo was in the center of the main hall, hanging the family hall, which started from his great-grandfather and grandfather to his parents' generation. The names of the Zhang family's clansmen are all on it, and Xu Rong is no exception. "It's a way to honor our ancestors." Zhang Bo said as he set up the offerings and burned incense and candles.
"I'll come too. Shi Yan came to worship together. Zhu Rong said.
"If Shi Yan has an idea, you can go to the study Bang Flower Basket Flower Fragrance Review Meeting." Zhang Bo saw Shi Yan's hesitation.
"Don't you just kowtow, this is also what the younger generations should do." Although Shi Yan was reluctant, she had to admit it, so serious and obedient.
Zhang Bo led the mother and daughter to snort, which means that Zhu Rong's mother and daughter are the Zhang family. Flower basket Flora stood aside and watched. The number of eight prostrations and nine prostrations is the first time I have seen it. It's fresh.
"What does Grandpa Taizu do?" Shi Yan came to be interested.
"Taizu is SX Hongtong County, the official worships the prince, and later moved to SD. Our Zhang family is a single lineage, hereditary practice of medicine, come to my generation, the society has changed, looking at the equality of patients, regardless of poverty. Zhang Bo explained, and as he spoke, the sound of talking and footsteps came from outside the gate.
"Brother Zhang, our whole family is here to pay you New Year's greetings."
As soon as the shouting fell, Liu Yang carried a mention of the national wine moss, Li Yilan carried a big bag, and Xiao Mingzi entered the living room.
"Come on, come on, and get any gifts." Zhu Rong stepped forward to take the gift, put the wine on the wine cabinet by the wall, and sent the big bag into the kitchen.
"Yilan, Mingzi, come, let's give the elderly a snort, once a year." Liu Yang stood still in front of Zhangjiajiatang, a family of three, and kowtowed three times.
"We're back." It was Cui Ping's voice, and when the door curtain opened, Li Yi and Cui Ping walked in and stood in front of everyone.
"Daddy, Daddy, Mommy, Mommy." The flower basket and the fragrance of the flower ran forward and hugged Li Yi and Cui Ping respectively, as if they just wanted to meet again, with tears streaming down their eyes, although they had sad thoughts in their hearts.
"Brother Zhang!" Li Yi looked at Zhang Bo.
"Huh? Zhang Bo was a little surprised, and the people in the room were surprised.
"Li Yi, you're good." Zhang Bo asked.
"Brother Zhang, when I came, Cui Ping drove me into a ditch with an electric car, hit my head on a tree on the side of the road, fell into a coma for an hour, and when I woke up, I knew everything, right, Cui Ping." Li Yi was as happy as a child, and he stroked the head of the flower basket.
"Yes, that's right." Cui Ping said with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Bo stepped forward violently, and suddenly held Li Yi's pale face, tears came out of his eyes, and he stared at Xu Jiu. He took Li Yi's hand and didn't know where to start.
"Let's go, it's crowded, let's go upstairs!" Zhu Rong is like a hostess.
Zhang Bo took Li Yi's hand and went upstairs from the stairs of the living room, without words, without excessive expression, without excessive cordiality,...。 People followed upstairs.
Zhu Rong pulled Li Yilan out of the living room and went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's dinner.
"How are you doing?" Zhu Rong asked Li Yilan.
"It's good, it's a bit of a feeling of seeing each other late." Li Yilan smiled, cut the celery and said, "What about you?" ”
"It's the same, we've been in harmony longer than you, and we're in harmony with each other, so we don't want both of us to be alone." Zhu Rong said.
"Haven't slept together yet? It's all from the past. Li Yilan finished cutting the celery and put it in the basket.
"That's like you, you can't wait until it gets dark..." Zhu Rong blushed when he said this, but it was night, and Li Yilan didn't see it.
"Men have been dead for a few years, it's really a little unbearable, they need each other, and they still pretend to be serious, spring is coming, it's the season of farming." Li Yilan cut meat again.
"We're not together so often, and we've done that a few times, and it's so beautiful that I'll never forget it." Zhu Rong said, his heart is sweet.
"Fifty-year-old, okay. It's so powerful. Li Yilan teased.
"If the land is good, you will be able to grow good crops." Zhu Rong said very artistically.
When the two looked at each other, they both laughed loudly.
"Sisters-in-law, what are you laughing at?" A man's head sticks into the kitchen. It's Wu Qing.
"Go, they're all upstairs. I want to be a spy. Zhu Rong drove Wu Qing away, and they let him know, because Zhu Rong often came. In Wu Qing's mind, Zhu Rong is already the sister-in-law of the Zhang family.
"Then, I'll go upstairs, and you can say whatever you like." He is a red-faced jujube wood that never fades.
Wu Qing walked into the main hall and worshiped his ancestors. before turning and going upstairs.
The middle living room on the second floor has dozens of square meters, wall lamps and chandeliers are intertwined, there is a table in the middle, and people sit on the oranges of the round table, Wu Qing walked into the hall.
"Come, brother, sit here." There were still many vacant seats around Zhang Bo, and Zhang Bo greeted him.
"Who is this?" Wu Qing asked Zhang Bo who Liu Yang was.
"Liu Yang, Yilan's husband, this is Yilan's son Xiao Ming, so there is no need to introduce him from this village. You know it all. Zhang Bo said.
Liu Yang took the initiative to shake hands with Wu Qing and was friendly.
"Brother Wu Qing, my illness is cured." Li Yi took the initiative to talk to Wu Qing.
"Wang Yun and Hu licked those two bastards, none of them were good people." Wu Qing is a person with a clear position.
"Don't mention the past, it's about to be the Spring Festival. On a big happy occasion, I want to have a few drinks with you. Wu Qing shouted excitedly.
"I'm accompanied, what three glasses and five glasses, it's all Brother Zhang's wine." Li Yi responded with a smile.
"Dr. Li is the same as if he is not sick, this is really a happy event." Shi Yan interjected. She poured tea and water for each of them.
"Sister, my dad is not sick at all, do you say it's my sister?" She snuggled into Li Yi's arms and said. That's a fact.
"Healed, the sickness that came." Shi Yan scraped her little beautiful nose with her hand.
Cui Ping stood behind Li Yi, smirking happily, rubbing his hands constantly, and he didn't know what to say.
"Shi Yan, tell your mother, prepare to serve, let's talk while eating. In addition, in the study desk, ask your mother to wrap another red envelope, and you and the three red envelopes will be brought together.
"Yes! Shi Yan turned around and ran downstairs and ran into the kitchen; "Mom, your friend is going to let you have a banquet, and then go to the study to make a red envelope."
"You go and wrap it, and then wrap another Wu Qian's bag. Go, go quickly! Zhu Rong placed the pressure cooker on the gas hood.
In the drawer of the desk, there was a lot of money and three red envelopes, Shi Yan found the red paper, ordered Wu Qianbao, but it became three small ones and one big one, and he didn't think much about it, so he took it and ran upstairs.
Shi Yan handed the four red envelopes to Zhang Bo, and Zhang Bo first distributed them to Mingzi in the flower basket. The two children were very sensible and saluted Zhang Bo: "Uncle Xie Lu, I wish Uncle Xie good health." ”
Hua Xiang is the last one to take over the money in the year, she is very smart, seeing her can be associated with the small weeping willows in spring, fluttering in the wind, Ana, she added a project, let Zhang Bo bow his head, gave a blessing on his forehead, kissed Zhang Bo and said: "I wish Uncle a long life and a hundred years old." "It made everyone laugh." What major will Huaxiang take in the future. Zhang Bo asked, very kind.
"Take the medical university entrance examination and be a doctor like my uncle." The fragrance of flowers said vividly.
"Ambitious, Uncle supportive. Come on. Zhang Bo shook his fist in support. He handed another big one to Shi Yan: "This is your New Year's money, save it at school." ”
"I'm an adult, and I have to pay for the New Year." Shi Yan is embarrassed this time.
"Take it! Call Uncle now, and call Dad after May Day. Liu Yang said with a smile. That is, you are still a child in front of us. "Li Yi is a little clever.
"That's it, I can't forget the old man in the future." Cui Ping agreed. "That's it, just call Dad." Wu Qing went straight.
Shi Yan took it with both hands, his face was red with shame, like a peony flower, because everyone said, especially Liu Yang's words, hit the key point and hit Shi Yan's heart.
