The red couplets at the door were pasted, the red lanterns were hung high, the snow covered the roof, and the house was as warm as spring.

"Mom, look at the dumplings I made, why are they so deflated?"

"Just put more stuffing and pinch it tightly"

Zhuo Guoqiang rolled the skin, the two of them wrapped dumplings together, and the things to be prepared for the New Year were almost ready, so try the dumpling filling in advance.

"In the past few days, I have seen that it has turned white, and my hair has grown a little, and in a few days, it will be the same as before."

"Why didn't I see it myself? Compared with the hand, I feel that it is darker."

The black and white hands, with the white stained flour on them, create a striking contrast.

"Look at your father, look at mine, whoever has a hand compared to Bai Mian, it is a defeated man"

Compared with flour, the three hands are indeed self-defeating, and they lose a mess.

"Is Grandma back? Do you want to give a New Year's gift? ”

"I sent four catties of lean meat, a carton of milk, a basket of eggs, and an old hen, which were all sent out for hundreds of dollars, and your aunt pouted, saying that your aunt, the fifth aunt and the sixth aunt, they each gave two thousand yuan, which is not rare for our family."

Snobbish, they know money, and they are still clamoring to find a good son-in-law, and there is no way to compare with ordinary families with good family conditions, do they still care about money?

"It's too little, why does she stay? Grandma is sick or something, just me and your mother ran before and after, they contributed some money, we are good, the money is a lot of money, and we have to work hard, that time is not money? ”

"Okay, don't say it, that child is just a grandmother, I'm just this mother, all over ninety, and I can live for a few years, yesterday I went to your uncle's house, bought a few chicken cakes to see your grandma, and when I came back, your grandma asked me to bring the child back, she didn't care less about us, especially the children."

Zhuo Guoqiang didn't say anything anymore, put down the rolling pin, also wrapped the dumplings, leaned next to Zhou Fan and whispered, "As soon as you talk about your grandma's family, your mother will be anxious with me."

Zhou Fan smiled and pinched the dumplings, looked at his mother, who was holding a rolling pin, staring at him, and wanted to beat people.

"Dad, are you listening outside, is there a sound of cars? Our dog is really, and it doesn't bark when there is a movement? ”

Patting the flour on his hands, Zhuo Guoqiang opened the door of the hall, looked outside, and then went out.

"Why didn't I hear the car? I'm not deaf either."

Zhao Yumei saw that the car outside stopped at the door, and the lights were still on, illuminating the small courtyard very brightly.

"The ground just moved, and I didn't hear the sound of cars, guess"

"Dumplings!"

Wang Dongyu, what is he doing after work?

"It's better to come early, it's better to come by coincidence, or I have a good mouth, and I can catch up with the meal wherever I go"

Pouting, Zhou Fan opened his mouth and said, "Something?" ”

"Hey, hey! That's something" Wang Dongyu was really embarrassed to speak, scratching his scalp and standing still.

"Say it! What's the matter? Zhou Fan poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him, after all, he is a boss, so he should be polite.

"If you don't go anywhere, you won't rest for the New Year, the workers will go back to their hometown tomorrow for the New Year, no one in the field will take care of it, I can't be busy alone, of course, the salary is calculated as three days a day, and after the fifth day of the new year, they will come back, you have a few more days off, and I also brought you a New Year's gift, which is put in the car."

Come prepared! There is nothing else to do except eat, drink and have fun during the New Year, and it is not far away, so I will go home in the afternoon, and I will not go early in the morning, and I can do it.

"I also go to work during the Chinese New Year, so what's the whole thing? You just don't care about the two of you."

Zhao Yumei Lala Zhou Fan said again, "If you have to go to relatives for the New Year, your grandma talks about you every day, how do you get it, you have to see your grandma go"

"The gift was also sent over, and I took my grandma over tomorrow, my aunt was crazy, I didn't have to serve my grandma, and the children didn't go home for the New Year, and she didn't have to play mahjong every day? Let my dad pick up my grandma and celebrate the New Year with us."

"And why don't you go to work?"

"The gang of people in the field have all gone home for the New Year, no one feeds the chickens, pigs, cattle and sheep, and they have to starve to death, especially the dog, I have to pay if they starve to death."

"I know that you are the most responsible, I will give you a New Year's gift"

Wang Dongyu was broken, put down the teacup, and Ma Yu'er went outside to get the things he brought in the car.

"Yes, I'm thinking about taking a few days off, I don't have to watch the children, it's good, the vacation is not done, and I will add an old man, you are my ......"

"The only one, you are my only one, you are my only ......"

Zhao Yumei was stunned and couldn't remember any words, Zhou Fan took her words and sang.

"What's in this pocket?"

Inside the corn bag, bulging, two pockets, were placed at the door.

"There's another one, I'll take it"

Zhou Fan squatted down, untied the nylon rope on the head of his pocket, and looked at the contents inside.

"Pears, hawthorns, and apples"

Zhao Yumei untied another pocket, and inside was a large and small black convenient bag, and there was a strange smell.

"There is beef, mutton, and pork liver and large intestine" Wang Dongyu put down the heaviest pocket, sat on the bench and said, "Pine nuts, hazelnuts, give them to the children, and replenish their brains."

Obediently, can't this be sold? He's too picky, isn't he? Wouldn't it be okay to send money over?

"There's nothing to give, sending money seems to be raw, I brought some mountain goods, I can't eat this thing in the city, I hid it in advance, and the rest were divided by that group"

Things are good things, big New Year's Day, people send some good-looking packaging, he sends a few broken pockets, why don't you know the packaging?

"Didi ......"

"Who is this? Another one"

"I'll take a look"

Zhuo Guoqiang put down the dumplings, opened the door and went out again.

"You don't send anything, you say I'll go to work too, see if you're polite, stay for dinner and then leave!"

Wang Dongyu looked at the room and said with a smile, "Why didn't you see your sister?" I still have something I want to ask her for help, to make up for my son's tutors, math and English, a mess, the first in the class"

Zhou Ying was playing with her mobile phone in the room, and the problems on the paper choked her enough, and no one discussed with her, so she didn't do it.

"Play games, wait until the New Year, don't count on her before the year, she has recently been stumped by the Olympiad math problem, she can't sleep every night, and she relies on her mobile phone to vent her emotions"

Wang Dongyu looked at the closed door, and there was the sound of a TV set and laughter.

"In the past, my son was in the same class as your sister, your sister was too powerful, she slept in class, skipped class every day, played basketball, and thought she was not doing well in school, but who knew that people went back to the first place in the exam, and went directly to the third year of junior high school without going to the second year of junior high school."

You can still take the first test if you skip school every day, how can your head grow?

"Yumei, Fan Fan came out to pick up the old lady"

"How is this going to be?"

"Is Grandma here?"

Put down the dumpling wrapper, wipe the flour on your hands, and the two went out together to pick up the old lady.

"Mother, why are you here all of a sudden?"

"Grandma, who sent you here?"

The car has already driven far away, and you can only see the bright spots of the headlights, but you can't see the license plate number.

"The seventh daughter-in-law, what did she say to go to the hospital, her mother had appendicitis and was undergoing surgery, and she refused to stay when I left her to eat, and drove away"

Zhou Fan took over a burden from his grandmother, which was bulging and a little heavy.

"The old four families want to decorate the house, the old seven families have to take care of the mother-in-law, and there is a half-dead old man to take care of, the old nine families went to Beijing, the children were given an object, the two adults discussed the marriage, by the way, I raised nine children, three sons, I don't even have a place for the New Year, my life is miserable!"

The old man is in good health, clean and neat, a group of descendants, five granddaughters and grandchildren, none of them have come back, grandchildren and granddaughters are working in other places, one is more capable than the other, there are cars, houses and savings, all of them are big cities.

Those who celebrate the New Year don't come back to see the elderly, they are all over ninety, how much life can they have? The human touch is getting weaker and weaker.

"What's the bitterness? We will not be as good as you in the future, but your children are married and have a good life, what should we do? The blind date that the matchmaker is looking for, when people hear that they have children, they don't want to, what do you say about this? The child can't get married, and I'm going to die of worry."

Why is this coming to me again? Wouldn't it be better if no one wanted to marry me? There are children to feed, how can you have time to care about the rest!

Zhou Fan put down his burden and saw Wang Dongyu holding his sleeves and making dumplings, which looked very good, much better than his own.

"What can't you marry? Isn't that what you found? It's all dumplings."

Misunderstanding, big misunderstanding!

"This is our field manager, grandma, can you not talk nonsense?" Zhou Fan died of embarrassment, this Wang Dongyu is too, what dumplings to wrap! Who let him wrap it?

"The old man is quite funny, look at Xiao Zhou, what looks like a woman? Everyone in our field treats her as a brother and will never think about her in that way."

Hehe! Brothers! Hello bro!

"It's a little dark outside, I can't see it clearly, why is this kid so dark? It's like a briquette."

The old man said a word, and Wang Dongyu in the room couldn't straighten his waist with a smile, and Zhou Fan held his forehead and couldn't smile bitterly.

The son said that he was like a briquette seller, and his grandmother said that he was a briquette, and he really got involved with briquettes.
