By the time I got home happily, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as I parked the car and opened the door, Gray Boy was already squatting in front, wagging his tail and looking at himself.

Bent down to pick up Gray Boy, happily stroked Gray Boy's silky hair with one hand, and said with a smile: "Are you naughty at home?" ”

"Uh......h Woof! Greyboy called softly twice.

"Coming back?" Seeing Gray Boy running out of the smoke before, Bu Yuanting knew that it was his son who came back, so he walked out of the back room, "How is it?" Are you busy with Sister Sakura's restaurant business? ”

"Well," nodded happily and said, "Business is very good, I was busy until two or three o'clock before I was relieved, but it is estimated that I will be busy again in the evening, and tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been booked!" ”

Hearing that the restaurant's business was booming, Bu Yuanting also seemed very pleased: "Well, it's not easy to read this girl!" But it's finally overcome! ”

Smiled happily and nodded.

"Alright, it's getting late, we should make a fire and cook!" Bu Yuanting looked at the time and said.

"Huh? So early? "I looked at the time happily, it's not half past four, what are you cooking at this time?

Bu Yuanting ignored Happy Doubts, came to the steamed bun shop, and lit the stove, at this time, a large cauldron had already been placed on the top of the stove.

On such a cold day, it takes a lot of time to burn this cauldron with charcoal, which may be the reason why Bu Yuanting chose to build a stove so early.

After about ten minutes, the water in the cauldron boiled.

Bu Yuanting immediately took the broken promise that was put aside, grabbed a handful and sprinkled it evenly into the pot, and then gently sent the neatly folded dumplings that were placed aside into the pot.

The dumplings are constantly rolling in the boiling water, up and down. Flashing left and right, like a group of naughty babies.

After a while, Bu Yuanting took the lid of the pot on the side and covered it directly on the cauldron.

After a few more minutes, Bu Yuanting lifted the lid of the pot, scooped up the dumplings in the pot with a fence, and then passed them in the warm water basin that had been prepared, and then put them directly into the insulated pot on the side.

Then, Bu Yuanting repeated this action.

Watching my father skillfully cook dumplings, I couldn't help but recall the scene when my father cooked dumplings for me when I was a teenager. At that time, my father was much stronger than now, and he cooked the dumplings neatly and neatly, and put the dumplings in front of him in minutes.

In a trance, I happily felt that someone was calling me. Only then did I realize that it was my father who was calling, and it turned out that I was distracted at this moment.

"What are you doing? I've called you several times and there has been no response. Bu Yuanting's eyes were filled with concern. Is there something on your mind? ”

"No," Happy shook his head, a smile on his face, "I remembered watching you cook dumplings when I was a child." ”

"Huh? I see! When Bu Yuanting heard this, he immediately smiled, and then shook his head. Ay! No, now that I'm older, I haven't cooked much, and I'm a little tired! ”

"It's fine. Dad, let me go. Happy walked up and reached out to take the fence in Bu Yuanting's hand.

"Happy, why don't you ask me why I cook so many dumplings?" Bu Yuanting sat on the side, watching his son learn from his own appearance and cook dumplings in a similar way, and asked.

While cooking dumplings, Happy replied with a smile: "Where do you need to ask, we can't finish eating so many dumplings, of course they are sent to the uncles and uncles in the east of the village!" ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the house.

"Brother Haohan, why are you here?" Bu Yuanting opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Haohan, and immediately smiled.

"Hello Uncle Bu, Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!" Auspicious New Year! Xiao Yueyue's whispered New Year's greetings came from below.

"Good! Good! When Bu Yuanting heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, and immediately invited Zhang Haohan's ancestor into the house, "Why didn't you see my sister-in-law coming?" ”

"Your sister-in-law is still at home for Chinese New Year's Eve, I'll come and bring you something." Uncle Hao Han said.

In the light of the light, Bu Yuanting saw that Zhang Haohan was still leading two big blue crabs in his hands, and immediately straightened his face: "Brother Haohan, come over here, what are you doing with these things?" ”

Uncle Hao said happily: "Brother Yuanting, this is the New Year's gift from my kid's unit, I'll give you two whole, you and Happy can also taste it." ”

After that, Uncle Hao didn't care about Bu Yuanting's repeated excuses, and put the two big blue crabs in the kitchen by himself.

In the face of Zhang Haohan's stubborn temper, Bu Yuanting had no choice but to beckon Zhang Haohan and Xiao Yueyue to sit down.

As soon as the buttocks of the two fell, Happy walked out with two bowls of steaming dumplings: "You guys are really in a hurry!" Let's try a few dumplings first! ”

"Ah, no......" Uncle Hao Han just wanted to say that the old woman at home was preparing a Chinese New Year's Eve meal and preparing dumplings that were happy to thank him, but when the familiar and attractive fragrance came into his nose, Uncle Hao Han was not calm again.

"This is made with bun filling?" Uncle Hao Han swallowed his saliva and asked.

"Yes." Happy nodded.

"That'...... Then I'll eat a few! Well! Just eat a few! Uncle Hao Han said seriously.

"Happy uncle! The New Year is auspicious, bring the red envelope! Xiao Yueyue saw Happy coming out, and her two big eyes immediately laughed into two rounds of crescent moons, and she bowed to Happy as if she was happy.

"Ha Lu Ha! What a shame! What a shame! Happy Ha Lu smiled, reached out and touched his pocket, and found that he forgot to bring the money with him, for so many years, he has never given any New Year's money!

"You went into the house with your uncle, and your uncle forgot the New Year's money in the room." Happy as he spoke, he led Xiao Yueyue towards his room.

"Ah, happy, don't take it seriously!" When Uncle Hao saw it, he immediately stopped his happiness, "The child is joking, don't really give it to her!" ”

"How can this work?" He smiled happily and shook his head, "This red envelope still has to be given!" ”

Without waiting for Uncle Hao Han to react, he happily entered the room with a flash.

After a while, Xiao Yueyue walked out happily with a satisfied heart, and Uncle Hao Han looked carefully, but he didn't see where Xiao Yueyue put the red envelope.

At this time, the bowl of dumplings in front of him couldn't help but arouse Uncle Haohan's appetite, so he didn't think about it anymore, picked up the chopsticks and started.

Anyway, Xiao Yueyue is a child, and she won't give many red envelopes if she is happy.

Half an hour later, Uncle Haohan led Xiao Yueyue back with a bulging belly, while Happy and his father carried a large pot of steaming dumplings onto a tricycle and headed towards the nursing home in the east of the village.

At first, several elderly people in Zhangjia Village went to the village to approve a piece of land and build such a courtyard in order to make room for their children to get married.

Later, housing prices in the capital soared, and most salaried people could not afford to buy a house at all, so more and more elderly people voluntarily moved here in order to make room for their children.

Later, some elderly people who did not have the ability to take care of themselves and whose families were not around were also sent here.

So, naturally, it became a nursing home in Zhangjia Village.

On today's Chinese New Year's Eve, many elderly people have been taken home by their families to celebrate the New Year, but there are still more than a dozen elderly people in the courtyard, either because their relatives have passed away, or because their relatives are away, so they have to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve alone.

The father and son of the Bu family pushed a tricycle to the nursing home.

At this time, the nursing home was also preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and when they saw the Bujia father and son coming in, they immediately expressed their welcome.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Bujia father and son will come here to send New Year's gifts and blessings to the elderly.

"I'm sorry everyone, we're late today!" Bu Yuanting walked into the cafeteria with an apologetic look and happiness.

"Where the words! Yuanting, if you don't forget to come and visit us bad old men, we're already very happy! An old man said happily.

"Yuanting, is your body better?" An old lady walked up tremblingly, grabbed Bu Yuanting's hand and said, "It's a cold day, don't freeze to death!" ”

"Auntie, I'm fine." Bu Yuanting grabbed the old lady's hand with his backhand, and said with a smile, "My body has been much better during this time!" ”

While my father was greeting with a few old grandfathers and grandmothers, Happy had already put out the dumplings quickly.

In Zhangjia Village, his father's reputation is the best, and compared to him, Happy feels that he is really too small, too small.

But at the same time, I feel so proud.

Because, the man in front of him, who was surrounded by many old people, was his father!

……

The old people were full of praise for this delicious dumpling, and after eating the dumplings, they were in surprisingly good spirits, and they were just pulling Bu Yuanting and happy, while watching the Spring Festival Gala, while chatting.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that the old people couldn't stay up anymore and went back to sleep one after another.

Happy and his father helped the staff of the nursing home clean the restaurant again, and it was late at night when they got home.

Just when the father and son came to the door, they suddenly felt an incomparably bright light suddenly appear in the sky in the distance, and then there was a rumbling sound.

The father and son immediately raised their heads and looked at the dark night sky in the distance, only to see bright fireworks blooming in the night sky.

At this time, it was early in the morning.

"Happy New Year, Dad!"

"Happy New Year, son!"

The father and son said such a sentence in unison, and the two were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Happy New Year!

In the deafening sound of fireworks, under the brilliant fireworks, the old year is gone, and the new year has arrived!

Happy New Year!

Looking at the flowers in the night sky, I was happy and silently thought in my heart. (To be continued.) )
