In the first Spring Festival of the nineties of the last century, a hutong in the suburbs of City A was lined up with large and small vehicles, and the spectacular scene of tens of meters long was not seen in this small village, from imported high-end cars, to military vehicles with camouflage green camouflage nets, from the roaring police cars, to the commuter buses of large factories, in short, this reflects the 'momentum' of one of the alleys, and also reflects the surge of the population.

'Who is this, the road is blocked, and no one is allowed to pass! A 'prospective son-in-law' from other places may be the first time to come to the door, and the conditions are average, and he feels a little inferior in his heart, and he begins to talk coldly.

A young woman who was traveling with her said, 'This is our family's Banla Lao Guo's family, every Chinese New Year is like this, this is all taken for granted, it will be good to arrive at our house, not far away, just ahead.' ’

The old Guo family's house was built by the second son Guo Kaiming in the early eighties of the last century, after a few years, the gray tiles are still so antique, but the man who put them on the roof is long gone, and even the wife and children left by Guo Kaiming are as if they disappeared in City A, and there is no news.

The old Guo family went home for the New Year this year, and there were more than 40 people in the old age, which was a very uniform time, from the long house Guo Kaiwei's family to the last room Guo Kaiying's family, every family was driven back and forth, and there was no one who did not come by car.

Guo's mother is over sixty years old, but her body is still tough, at this time she is now on the fire, followed by the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law to 'look at the small cards'.

Compared with Guo's mother, the children of the old Guo family are the same. On the floor of the room, there are two tables of 'mahjong', one table is 'old children', among the four people, there are the eldest brother Guo Kaiwei, the third brother Guo Kaishan, the fourth brother Guo Kaixin, the fifth brother Guo Kaiqing, and the other table is the 'young children', the sixth brother Guo Kaiying who can't play at the 'big table'. I had to play with the 'young children'. With him is the eldest son-in-law of the eldest sister of the Guo family, Guo Xiaochun, the grandson of the Guo family, plus Guo Kaiwei's quasi-son-in-law, who was chosen by Guo Kaiwei himself. He used to be a college graduate police officer in the police station. Now he is working with Guo Kaiying in the city's 'anti-drug team'.

Compared to the fun of these men. The women in the kitchen were very miserable, under the leadership of the eldest brother-in-law of the Guo family, the four daughters-in-law who returned from England. The five daughters-in-law who came back from the border, Guo Kaiying's wife and six daughters-in-law, plus the two daughters of the eldest sister of the Guo family, are all busy with the food of these dozens of people.

'Fourth sister-in-law, I'll just talk about you, it's not good when you come back, you have to go home in time for the Spring Festival, you don't know what our old Guo family said, aren't you coming back to live and be tired! The woman from the same village who came to help from the same sect is the daughter-in-law of Guo's father's third brother, and she was sent by her 'hometown' to cook with the women of the old Guo family.

In the past two years, she and her son have been in the UK, while accompanying her son to study and play football, she also opened a café in the local area, living a middle-class life, although she wears an apron around her waist, but the high-end Scottish sweater is still very eye-catching, 'What if you don't come back, if I don't come back, your fourth brother will cut off the confession to our mother, he wants to see his son, but he is afraid of flying, so we can only come back with our mother and son, not tired, This is the rule of the old Guo family, since the day I married into their family, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law will not cook the big guy's meal, I see, if we want to be tired in the future, it's okay, unless~~. ’

'Fourth sister-in-law, unless what? Guo Kaiying's wife is much younger than these people, and she is like a little girl, and her curiosity is quite strong.

"Unless the old lady is gone," Shao Linlin has a very good opinion of Guo's mother, since the day she divorced Guo Kaixin, Guo's mother didn't want to see her, and after remarrying Guo Kaixin, she didn't even drink the tea she poured.

The eldest brother-in-law of the Guo family lost his parents when he was a child, and after arriving at the old Guo family, he regarded this place as his home, for many years, he worked hard and complained, not only after all the brother-in-law was cultivated, he also came to clean up the vegetable garden of the old house on weekdays, and now I saw Shao Linlin say this about Guo's mother, and he stopped doing it, "The fourth family, the more you talk about it, the more you don't pay attention to it, the New Year, do you want to stir up trouble!" ’

The eldest brother-in-law was more than Shao Linlin's age, and Shao Linlin saw that he was criticizing himself, so he stuck out his tongue in a funny way and stopped talking.

The food of southerners and northerners has always been different, as the fifth daughter-in-law Chen Shuqin, who returned to her hometown for the first time for the New Year, she is really not used to it, especially when she goes to the toilet outside on a cold day, she is full of martial arts, she always has to call her husband first and let Guo Kaiqing accompany her, and it is the same today, 'Old Five, you come out!' ’

Guo Kaiqing, who has always been inferior to other brothers in playing cards, was called when he got a big hand, he looked at them reluctantly, and finally said to Guo Xiaoer, the second nephew who was 'selling orders' next to him, "You help the fifth uncle to play, you can remember, don't light the gun!" ’

Guo Xiaoer's size has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is taller than Guo Kaiqing, he said with a smile, "Fifth uncle, you go, don't worry, I still have a way to deal with these veterans." ’

While helping his wife 'control the wind', while still thinking about his own good hand, Guo Kaiqing was happy while thinking, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Chen Shuqin, who was squatting in the toilet, still couldn't stand the environment here, she let go of her hands and complained at the same time, "I said go back to my father's house this year, you have to go back to the Northeast, it's okay now, I'm like this every day, I can't stand it!" ’

Guo Kaiqing didn't say anything, he still recalled the mistake when he played cards just now, and in his mind, he felt that there were several decks of cards that he didn't grasp, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so much.

'Old Five, you're still there, I'll talk to you!' Chen Shuqin said again.

'Yes, I'm here, what did you tell me about?' ’

'I said I have to go to my house for the Chinese New Year next year, do you think it's okay?' ’

"How can it be done, this big guy is celebrating the New Year in his hometown, and he has to spend it here next year, there are many people, and it is lively," Guo Kaiqing didn't think about it, and replied to his wife's question.

After untying her hands and putting on her pants, Chen Shuqin walked out of it, "Your fourth sister-in-law said just now that she is not going to come back next year." ’

Guo Kaiqing said indifferently, "She loves to come back or not, anyway, with my fourth brother, I can see through it, if I don't have the surname Guo, I can't do it, you see that my son doesn't, this look is what I raised, among these children, he is the most rushed!" ’

Indeed, as Guo Kaiqing said, Guo Xiaoqing has not been back to the Northeast a few times, but as soon as he came back this time, he stirred up the miasma of the whole village, either blocking anyone's chimney today, or following a few older cousins to the river to 'fry fish', he often carried Guo Kaiqing's 'homemade air pistol' that he played when he was a child, and wandered around the village.

'Making dumplings' is a must-have delicacy for every household in the country, but the old Guo family has enough to wrap dumplings that have been 'the fifteenth day of the first month', 'a bag of meat filling', is the tradition of the old Guo family, in the sixties of the last century, the most difficult period, has not stopped, when Guo's father has been defeated, but he still has the ability to get back a fat pork on the day of the 'Chinese New Year's Eve', so that the whole family can eat a good handful, and now in the nineties of the last century, the family income is rich, but this' A bag of meat filling', you have to hold on, every time at this time, all the adult members will put down their own 'playfulness', come to the big stuffing basin, wrap a few dumplings, that is, the New Year.

'Mom, do you have to pack a few zero coppers this year!' Guo Kaiwei has never liked to join in the fun, but since Guo's father went west, he has been thinking about many traditions in his family as the eldest son.

'Pack, not a few, one, one is the most enough! Guo's mother wrapped beef stuffing, her hometown is in Rehe, and she has eaten this stuffing since she was a child, but after arriving in City A, there are many children in the family and she can't afford to eat beef, so she changed to eat pork.

'Old Five, you come here, you don't come back often, this task is under your control! Guo Kaiwei took the 'five cents' with body temperature from his mother's hand and shouted Guo Kaiqing.

'Big brother, such a difficult task, why give it to me, or give it to the third brother, he doesn't come back often!' Guo Kaiqing wore an officer's winter uniform, with the rank of 'lieutenant colonel', and as the captain of the 'mine-sweeping brigade', he deserved his name.

'The fifth, you don't know this, the third is about to be transferred back, and after the New Year, he will stay in City A! The sister-in-law of the Guo family is a 'kaleidoscope', and there is nothing she doesn't know about the old Guo family.

'Transferred back?' Third brother, this is wrong for you, you have been transferred back, why don't you tell me, you are hiding deep enough! Guo Kaiqing has also been back for a few days, and most of the time when he is free, the third brother asks him about things, but Guo Kaishan only brushes over his own affairs and rarely talks about them.

"What is there to say, flat, flat, I can't stay in Jingbei anymore, I'm leaving, so as to make room for others," Guo Kaishan is also a 'lieutenant colonel' rank, and he and his fifth brother enlisted in the army with a difference of several years, because he was promoted late, he was only mentioned in the fifth year, and Guo Kaiqing was in the third year, so that the distance between the two people was shortened by two years, and Guo Kaiqing was the chief officer of the deputy regimental army, according to the relevant "Regulations and Regulations", he was in advance. Jane's, therefore, lieutenant colonel and lieutenant colonel, if you don't elaborate on it, you won't be able to distinguish it clearly. (To be continued......)
