"Sister, let's make dumplings then, shall we?" Guo Xiang said that dumplings for the New Year in Beijing are indispensable.

"Okay, I'll make the noodles, you chop the stuffing." Wang Chuyun said.

"Hmm!" Guo Xiang nodded.

"Oops, the couplet hasn't been posted yet." Guo Yaqin suddenly shouted, the previous work was all Wang Chongming and Wang Chuyu, this year Wang Chuyu was not there, and Wang Chongming accompanied Gu Xide again.

"Where's the couplet? I asked Zhennan to post it. Guo Xiang said.

"Right on the desk in the study." Guo Yaqin said.

Guo Xiang nodded, took the couplet from the study, and some window grilles and blessing characters, and beckoned to Gu Zhennan.

"What's the matter?" Gu Zhennan walked over.

"You go and help paste the couplets and these, we don't have time here." Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Gu Zhennan took the couplet.

Gu Xide and Wang Chongming also wanted to help when they saw each other, Gu Zhennan hurriedly said: "Grandpa, Dad, it's too cold outside, you guys are still in the house, I'll do it alone." ”

"Give me the window grille, we'll post it here in the house, and I'm tired of sitting all the time." Wang Chongming said.

"It's good!" Gu Zhennan gave the window grille to Wang Chongming, and Gu Xide was on the side to help him paint the paste, and the two also cooperated tacitly.

In the kitchen, Guo Yaqin and Aunt Zhang killed chickens and ducks, Wang Chuyun rolled dumpling skins, and Guo Xiang chopped up the meat filling on the spot.

"It's enviable that both of your daughters are so capable." Aunt Zhang looked at Guo Xiang and Wang Chuyun over there.

"Where, Xiangxiang will do some chores, and she has no talent for stir-frying since she was a child, unlike her sister. I heard that it's usually Aunt Zhang, you're doing it, you've worked hard! Guo Ya was a little embarrassed.

"They're usually busy, and I don't have anything to do at home, so it's not so boring to do more." Aunt Zhang smiled, "In the past, Gu Lao was very bored when he was alone, but after Zhennan and his daughter-in-law came back, Gu Lao ate half a bowl more." ”

"Yes, when people are old, they want to have children and grandchildren by their side, otherwise I really don't know how to live." Guo Yaqin was also a little emotional.

"Aunt Zhang, how many children do you have? Why don't you go home for the Chinese New Year? Guo Yaqin asked.

"I ......" Aunt Zhang smiled bitterly, "I have never married in my life, and I have no children or daughters......"

"Huh? I'm sorry, I don't know. Guo Yaqin is very embarrassed, there are very few women who don't get married in this era, and I can't imagine that Aunt Zhang is in this situation.

Guo Xiang was also a little surprised, she never knew about Aunt Zhang, and she never asked, she didn't expect that she would have no children and no daughters? No wonder she never asks for leave, she doesn't have to go back during the New Year's holidays, and she doesn't have a family in the past, right?

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Aunt Zhang smiled, her face was still a little lonely.

Something happened when she was young, she was sorry for that person, and later not marrying for the rest of her life was also a punishment for herself.

killed the chickens and ducks, Guo Yaqin boiled water and poured it into the wooden basin, Aunt Zhang threw the chickens and ducks in, and when they were scalded, they would defeather the chickens and ducks.

Guo Yaqin began to kill fish, more than every year, and fish is an indispensable dish for the New Year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Beijing is the most sumptuous meal of the year, and there are meat and vegetarian dishes, not all meat dishes.

Chicken is indispensable, meaning to have a livelihood, needless to say fish, and cabbage, meaning a hundred wealth, tofu meaning meaning wealth, lotus root meaning meaning good things.

Of course, cabbage is not just fried in a bowl of cabbage, it may be a piece of elbow in the middle, and a circle of cabbage on the outside is garnished.

However, this is also the only way rich people pay attention to it, and it would be nice if the poor family might have dumplings to eat.

After killing the fish, Guo Yaqin began to cut meat again, and braised pork is also a must-eat every year, although life is much better now than before, but braised pork is still unforgettable.

The chicken on Aunt Zhang's side was repaired first, Guo Yaqin took it and chopped it, put it on a plate, and all the dishes were ready, just fry it directly in the afternoon.

Then start to marinate pork knuckles again, this time is long, and you should marinate it early.

Guo Xiang's meat filling was also chopped, some of the cabbage was put to make pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings, and some of the leeks were put in, each with its own flavor.

"Mom, can you wrap a coin in later?" Guo Xiang said, "Those who eat it will definitely make a fortune in the coming year." ”

Guo Yaqin smiled, "Okay, you can also wrap a sugar filling, and ......"

Guo Yaqin beckoned to Wang Chuyun and asked her to come over, "Mom, what's the matter?" Wang Chuyun asked.

"You go and prepare some peanuts, dates and chestnuts, and wrap one for each later." Guo Yaqin whispered in Wang Chuyun's ear.

Wang Chuyun understood after thinking about it, pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, I know." ”

"Mom told you what to say?" Guo Xiang was curious.

"You'll find out when you eat it." Wang Chuyun smiled.

Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows, didn't ask, found a coin and came out, washed it, and put it in a dumpling when he wrapped it later.

This side was in full swing, and the three men over there also pasted the couplets and window grilles.

Wang Chongming made a pot of tea, took a fruit plate and put it on the table, and talked to Gu Xide about the current situation.

also talked about prices, new policies or something, Gu Zhennan listened on the sidelines, I couldn't imagine that the two old people cared about current affairs, but he was a young man who didn't care about these, it seems that he should pay more attention in the future, which should also help his career.

"This year, many state-owned enterprises have begun to restructure, and the economic form may change greatly in the future, and the bills will slowly withdraw from the market, and prices will also rise......

"No, I've heard about it."

"By the way, Zhennan, isn't your oil department also restructured?" Gu Xide asked.

"Yes, I've heard that it's already being changed, so it should be about the same." Gu Zhennan said.

"I heard that PetroChina will be listed in two months, don't you have another factory in the Northeast that is a subsidiary of petroleum? Is it possible to buy shares? Gu Xide said.

Gu Zhennan frowned, he didn't know anything about this, if he asked his daughter-in-law later, she knew a little more.

"I'll find out after the New Year." Gu Zhennan nodded.

"You still have a factory in the Northeast?" Wang Chongming was very surprised, Xiangxiang didn't seem to say anything, it seems that the financial resources of the young couple should not be underestimated.

Gu Zhennan nodded, "It's not all ours, it's a joint venture, I designed a new type of pumping unit, obtained some patent fees, and invested in the factory and owned a part of the shares." ”

Gu Xide looked at his grandson, he said plainly, but he knew that he accounted for more than half of the shares, worth tens of millions.

And the contribution of his new pumping unit to the country's oil is immeasurable, and he is really proud.

Wang Chongming nodded, thinking about it, Xiangxiang didn't mention it because she didn't think she had her own merits, and she was in a state of divorce just after she came back at that time, so she didn't have the heart to mention this.

However, I am really impressed by this silent son-in-law, and it is not something that ordinary people can do if the patent fee can be invested in shares.

At noon, everyone had a simple meal, and Guo Yazheng also came in the afternoon.

Several women in the kitchen were busy, the aroma wafted in the courtyard, and the three men outside were also chatting happily.
