8. Happy Chinese New Year's Eve dinner

Shen Mengxi, who was educated, had no choice but to whisper: "Mom." ”

Qi Weixing obediently shouted, "Four grandmothers!" Lu Xiuzhi happily agreed, touching Qi Weixing's hair, "Good Bao'er!" Did your aunt bully you? ”

"No, my aunt is good to me!"

Lu Xiuzhi smiled, looked at her daughter and said, "Zhuzhu has grown meat, it seems that it is still the grandfather's family's food supporter!" ”

Old Man Qi laughed, and didn't talk much to his daughter-in-law, but touched the cigarette pouch with some pride, thought about it and took it back, took the cigarette roll and sniffed it again.

"Dad, here's for you. It's the new money I went to the bank yesterday to change, and I'll send the New Year's money to the children tomorrow morning. Lu Xiuzhi took out a stack of brand-new one-yuan denominations from her satchel.

"No, I have my own."

"Dad, take it, it's been all year round, and you've been worrying about us all the time."

"It's done!" Old Man Qi thought for a moment and nodded, "Put it on the table, you have a heart." ”

The old Qi family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner took out the real chapter.

The men of the Qi family only returned to the kitchen on Chinese New Year's Eve, and strangely, their skills were not bad. - Of course, Qi Youheng is not included here.

Chinese New Year's Eve is auspicious, and there must be chicken and fish. Chicken stewed mushrooms, stewed two chickens directly, the mushrooms are chicken leg mushrooms, two pots; Pouring fish in sauce is the craftsmanship of the three masters, with all the color, flavor and flavor; The sauerkraut stewed with pork belly and blood sausage is also served in a large basin, bubbling with aroma; Braised meat segments, buckle meat, bone-split meat, dry-fried hairtail fish, fat sausages, popping kidney flowers, and boiled liver tips are served one after another, and finally sweet and sour shredded radish and shredded potatoes are served.

Before the meal, Qi Baoping went out and put a thousand rings of ten rings and a goo, and the ding-ding-dong rang for a long time.

As soon as the cannon stopped, everyone sat down.

In rural houses, there is no living room, and when guests come, they go directly to the kang and sit on the kang when they enter the house.

The largest room of the Qi family is the bedroom of the old man Qi, the New Year's picture is a reunion, the whole family of twenty-five, all crowded in one room, the table on the kang is a large table on the kang table, the old man Qi and his three sons, three daughters-in-law, plus Qi Baoliang, Qi Baochang, Qi Baoguo sit on the kang, crowded next to each other, everyone is far away from the table.

The rest of the people were at the big table on the ground, they couldn't sit down, a few small ones ate standing up, and the Qi security guard simply ate around the table with a rice bowl.

"Sweet mouth! Eat shredded potatoes first! Qi Baoliang shouted at the children's table. In fact, I am afraid that after a long time, the potatoes will clump.

Old Man Qi couldn't see his granddaughter crowded with a bunch of stinky boys, beckoned Shen Mengxi to go to the kang, sat on his lap, and called the youngest Qi Weixing to the kang, the child happily agreed, and turned around and said to Qi security guards: "Uncle, I'm going to eat on the kang!" ”

Qi security guard waved his chopsticks, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and make room for us!" ”

Qi Weixing was holding the rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and he couldn't even go up to the kang, Qi Baoliang pinched his armpit and carried him up to the kang, and he automatically climbed onto Qi Youfang's knee.

Shen Mengxi's small bowl was full of delicious food, chicken wings, fish face, fish belly, despiked hairtail, diced mushrooms, and lean pork slices...... She looked at it worriedly, there were too many, she must not be able to eat.

Qi Weixing said happily: "Auntie, I'll help you!" ”

Everyone laughed.

Men drink liquor, women drink fruit wine, underage children also drink fruit wine, only Shen Mengxi and Qi Weixing drink canned juice.

Each family took turns to toast according to their age, and no matter who toasted, the old man Qi picked up his nine-dollar enamel wine cup and took a sip.

After a round of saluting, I also drank three glasses.

Shen Mengxi stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of his wine cup, and Old Man Qi laughed, "Don't drink it, my granddaughter won't let me drink it!" ”

Qi Youde was amused by the side, "Baozhu, can the uncle drink it?" ”

Shen Mengxi glanced at him, and Qi Zhou, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, said, "What do you say you are doing blindly!" ”

Everyone laughed again.

"Alas, I have nine grandchildren, and everyone else envies me, how do they know that I don't even have a little padded jacket?"

"Big brother's words made Baoman listen to it, and he had to blow up the temple." Lu Xiuzhi smiled. (Blowing up the temple has the meaning of losing your temper and going crazy)

"Brother and sister, you don't know, when Baoman was a child, he was as rare as Baozhu, but at that time, I was busy every day, and I didn't care about my old girl at all!" After speaking, he took a sip of the glass of wine, and it seemed that he really felt a little melancholy. The crowd laughed even harder.

Shen Mengxi really couldn't eat it, there was still a lot of meat in the bowl, and the old man Qi handed his granddaughter's bowl to the old son, "Eat, don't be blind to the grain." Lu Xiuzhi was busy picking it up, and she picked up her daughter's leftovers in the past.

Qi Youheng had already taken it, and pulled it into his mouth with three or two strokes.

Lu Xiuzhi said in disguise: "Zhuzhu really didn't eat less today, and the amount of food has increased." ”

"No, Zhuzhu is not a picky eater now, and she eats decently." Qi Zhou echoed.

Shen Mengxi just lowered her head and sat and sighed, the family still spoiled her as a three-year-old baby, what a sweet burden.

There was an exclamation from under the kang, it turned out that Qi Baochang's ten-year-old youngest son, Qi Weiming, didn't look at it, drank three cups of fruit wine, and lay on the ground with a bang, his little face was red, his eyes were closed, and he rolled around on the ground. Whoever pulls him, he laughs and kicks whomever he wants, even his father can't pull him, and finally he gets two blows on his butt before he honestly goes to sleep on the kang.

"Oh mom, it's a lot easier!" Qi Baoan said annoyingly while agreeing to chicken legs: "Wei Qiang, you can also drink two cups, and make room for us after drinking the kang!" ”

Lu Xiuzhi, who was sitting at the kang table, blushed, walked over and gave his son's back a moment, and the Qi security guard immediately let out a cry like killing a pig, he knew that the New Year would be auspicious, as long as he didn't turn the sky upside down, no one could really beat him.

Sure enough, Qi Baochang's wife Ge Hongfen smiled and played a round game: "Fourth aunt, eat yours quickly, the child is making trouble, it's nothing." "Saying that it was okay, I still went to the kang to see the child.

Qi security guard raised his chin at his mother, twisted his buttocks in a trembling manner, and shook his head again, so angry that Lu Xiuzhi raised his slap again, gritted his teeth and said: "People are seven or eight years old, and they are suspicious of dogs, you are fifteen years old for the New Year, how can you respond to people!" ”

Qi security guard squeaked and dodged, "Hey, you can't fight, fart old Yao!" ”

At this moment, even Shen Mengxi felt ashamed. - This kid owes too much!

After dinner, the women put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the men smoked.

Zhang Fengling took a pot of frozen pears and put them on the kang table.

"Eat quickly, don't wait for it to slow down, it's all miles!" Ge Hongfen handed her husband a frozen pear.

Shen Mengxi also picked the one that didn't slow down, and took a bite, feeling like eating ice cream.
