When everyone saw Tan Debao's appearance, they were very curious, and they didn't know what he was thinking.

"Fourth, what's wrong with you? Like a kitten scratching its heart, say whatever you want. Old Man Tan looked at his son and said.

"Yes, it's all family members, the fourth child, you can just say it." Tedejin also said.

Tan Debao pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, then said, "I was thinking, the snow is so heavy, the chickens and ducks on the Luhua slope don't know whether it's cold or not, and the temperature in the greenhouse doesn't know if it's going to drop." I...... I want to go over and see, if it's late, I won't come back for the New Year in the evening. ”

Qiduo listened on the sidelines, secretly surprised in his heart.

The fourth uncle's words don't sound right, it seems that he is worried about Luhuapo, but the actual situation should not be.

Since this is not the first time it has snowed this year, the temperature in the chicken coop, duck shed and greenhouse has long been adjusted, so there is no need to worry about it. The last time it snowed, the fourth uncle was also at home, but he didn't hear him say this.

And he also said that he wouldn't come back for the New Year if he was late, it seems that he wanted to spend the New Year on Luhuapo.

Who does he want to accompany for the New Year?

Hey, that's an obvious answer!

Qiduo smiled at the corners of her lips.

"Fourth, this is the New Year, you don't spend it at home, where are you going to spend the New Year?" Zhao happened to come in and heard it, and asked hurriedly.

"Ahem, it won't work then, but you can get together at Brother Tang's house for one night." Tan Debao's face was slightly unnatural.

"No, if it is on weekdays, forget it, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will worship the ancestors later, where can I do without you." Fourth, if you really can't rest assured, you can't go down to Luhuapo. You go and take a look with the boss. Be right back. Old Man Tan said with a serious face.

As a big man. I attach great importance to the ancestor worship on Chinese New Year's Eve, and I hope that all children can participate.

It is better that the number of people is increasing every year, which means that the incense is continuing, rather than gradually decreasing, which is a bad omen.

This year, there are four missing men from Tan Deyin's family, and if there is no more Tan Debao, it will be even more ugly.

Therefore he would not allow it.

Tan Debao's face sank, obviously a little displeased.

Qiduo hurriedly said to him. "Fourth uncle, the leg of a chair in my room seems to be a little loose, please come and take a look at it for me."

said, and winked at him.

Tan Debao pursed his lips and bowed his head gently, and went out with Qiduo.

Of course, there were no broken chairs in the Seven Flowers House, but I just wanted to say something to Tan Debao in private.

"Qiduo, what do you want to say?" Tan Debao also saw Qiduo's thoughts, and as soon as he got out of the house, he asked with a straight face.

"Poof, Fourth Uncle. Look how big you are, and you're angry. Not ashamed. Qiduo covered his mouth and smiled.

"Humph!" Tan Debao glared at Qiduo and snorted from his nose, a little childish.

"Fourth uncle, tell me honestly, do you want to go to Luhuapo to accompany someone for the New Year, so you found such an inferior excuse?" Qiduo tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Tan Debao was seen through his thoughts, his face suddenly turned red, and he denied it after a long time, "No!" ”

"Okay, don't forget it, I still wanted to help you, then I'll go." Qiduo shrugged, spread his hands indifferently, and turned to leave.

"Qiduo, do you have any good ideas to convince your grandma?" Tan Debao was in a hurry and hurriedly asked.

Haha, do you admit it!

Qiduo smiled smugly in his heart.

She turned around and looked up at the fourth uncle, "Hehe, fourth uncle, you have been fooled, I don't have a good idea." ”

"You ......" Tan Debao was suffocated, but he didn't expect that after talking for a long time, Qiduo would give him such a sentence, and he would have carried it and refused to admit it.

If it were someone else, he would be really anxious with others.

But in the face of Qiduo, even if he was angry, he had to swallow sullenly, "Stinky girl, bad girl, play me!" ”

"Poof!" Qiduo was happy, and then said with a straight face, "Fourth uncle, don't be angry first, it's not that there is no way to convince grandma, but on this special day, if you leave your family to accompany her for the New Year, when grandma knows about this matter in the future, will grandma like her?" Definitely not, Fourth Uncle, do you want everyone in your family to dislike her? ”

Debao closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Qiduo woke him up, yes, it was a bit too much.

"Fourth uncle, if you are really good for others, then hurry up to find grandma or my mother, and let them invite a matchmaker to come to the door to propose, and I am also anxious to call the fourth aunt." Fourth uncle, right? Seven naughty Chong Tan Debao raised his eyebrows.

"Go, what Aunt Four, don't talk nonsense. I'm not going, little girl! Tan Debao blushed and chased Qiduo.

Qiduo saw a hint of shyness in his expression.

Haha, maybe you will be able to drink the fourth uncle's wedding wine next year.

Tan Debao returned to the house and stopped mentioning going to Luhuapo, and Old Man Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that Qiduo persuaded the fourth son.

Qiduo went to the kitchen, and smelled the tempting fragrance from afar.

At the beginning of the unitary time, there were firecrackers in Tanjiazhuang one after another, and the ancestor worship began.

The Zhao family and the Xu family put the offerings and wine to be used to worship the ancestors into the basket, and then let Tan Dejin and the other brothers carry them, followed behind the old man Tan, stepped on the snow, and walked towards the ancestral hall.

There is no women's share in worshipping ancestors, the men went to the ancestral hall, and Zhao took his daughter-in-law, daughters and granddaughters to start setting up dishes and chopsticks and serving dishes to the table.

After the dishes were served, the men were almost able to return.

There are many people in the family, and there are two seats, and in the middle of each table is a steaming hot pot.

According to the customs of this place, there is no hot pot, but because of the cold weather, it is easy to get cold after the dish is served, so Qiduo suggested making hot pot.

However, because it is the Chinese New Year, this hot pot is a little different from the hot pot eaten on weekdays.

For the sake of auspiciousness and the occasion, Qiduo gave the hot pot a particularly nice name 'Ten Perfect Reunion Ruyi Pot', which is mainly all kinds of meatballs, colorful and particularly good-looking.

The soup stock is a carefully boiled chicken broth, which is fresh and tempting.

It's really full of color, flavor, and flavor.

Don't say you eat it, just looking at it makes people swallow their saliva.

Old Man Tan took Tan Dejin and his group back to worship their ancestors, and after cleaning their hands. So the family went and sat down at the table in the main hall. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began.

In addition to the specially made hot pot. There is a wide variety of dishes, and it can be said that there is a wide variety of dishes.

Looking at the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Old Man Tan also had mixed feelings, if it weren't for the old people who were so promising, where could they eat such a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in such a grand mansion.

Because the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in previous years was only more hearty than usual, but the amount of meat dishes was very small. After each person took a pair of chopsticks, the plates were almost empty.

Old man Tan took the lead in raising his glass, got up and stood up, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, a year has passed, this year can be said to be the year of the biggest change in our Tan family, and it is also a particularly meaningful year." Although there are a little regrets, but in general, there are still many things to celebrate that the sauce shop has opened. I am very pleased that I did not destroy the skills passed down from my ancestors.

And the old family has changed dramatically. Now in our village, who doesn't point to the boss and his family to earn money to eat. The conditions of the old family have improved, we have also followed behind, the living conditions of the family have improved, and the people in the village have more respect for us, which is an honor that money can't buy.

Erlang also became a pro this year, Erxia married a good mother-in-law, Wuxing and Santao also have their own home, I am here, I hope that in the new year, our Tan family will have a bigger and better development, and strive to reproduce the glory of the year.

Here, let's cheers! ”

Everyone also had mixed feelings, raised their glasses in unison, and drank the wine in their glasses.

The men drank the old wine, and the women drank the wine that Wen Xiuyi gave from the last time.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Old Man Tan picked up the chopsticks and pinched the first chopsticks, and then everyone took the chopsticks, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

All of a sudden, the main hall was lively.

Outside the house is the non-stop sound of firecrackers, and inside the house is the sound of blessings and laughter.

When the wine was half-drunk, Wu looked at Zhao and Xu, and said, "Sister-in-law, your family is doing so big now, will you find a job for Erlang and Shiro next year?" Mother, do you say that outsiders can do things at the eldest brother and sister-in-law's house, but Erlang and Shiro are their own nephews, so there is no reason not to let them, right? ”

Wu also heard that the Qiduo family gave the workers a year-end bonus this year.

The generous year-end bonus made Wu's eyes red.

Although Erlang and their wages for their work have to be handed over, but the Zhao family doesn't know how much the year-end bonus is, she thinks that when the time comes, she will beg Tan Dejin and Qiduo, let them hide it in front of the Zhao family, and they can get a few taels of silver for nothing.

If it really doesn't work, they will split up next year, and the money earned by the two sons will be their own.

Wu's little abacus snapped.

Zhao nodded slightly, Wu's proposal was exactly what she wanted.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think?" Zhao asked Xu.

The Xu family was a little embarrassed and refused directly, it hurt the face of the Zhao family and the Wu family too much, but if you agree, Erlang and Shiro are uneasy, and if you use them, you may really ask for trouble.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Qiduo.

Qiduo looked at Zhao and Wu with a smile, "Grandma, Sanniang, let's eat first, let's talk about this matter in detail after eating, okay?" ”

"Done." Zhao nodded.

It's true that eating is not a good place to talk about things.

She also found Old Man Tan for the matter of Erlang Shiro.

Old Man Tan said at the time, if Erlang Shiro is a good one, they won't use the boss, don't offend the boss because of this trivial matter.

Zhao thought about it and made sense, so he didn't bother Tan Dejin about it.

What's more, two days ago, the Qiduo family also sent fifty taels of silver to Mr. Tan and his wife, which made the Zhao family laugh like a flower at that time.

After eating, it's time to give New Year's money.

Of course, only those who have not married are eligible to take this New Year's money, so Tan Debao is also in the ranks of taking the New Year's money.

Old Man Tan took out the prepared red envelopes and distributed them to seven of them in turn, including Tan Guihua, Tan Deyou and Tan Debao.

You don't need to look at it, as soon as you start Qiduo, you know that there is not much in this red envelope.

Because of the separation, Tan Dejin and Xu also had to prepare red envelopes for the Sizao brothers and sisters and sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

And Tan Decai has not yet split up and has no additional income, so there is no need to give Qiduo sisters and brothers.

Wu took the red envelope of the eight pears, and started it heavily, and immediately smiled and squinted his eyes, "Uncle and aunt are too polite, hehe." ”

After sending the New Year's money, Wu revisited the matter of Fang Cai Erlang Shilang. (To be continued......)
