Chapter 215: Xiuzhu's New Year's Greetings
Duan Huan reminded next to Grandpa Xu and said, "Ancestor, have you forgotten?" At that time, there was a group of male babies chasing Xiuzhu to fight,
We hid her in a broken basket to escape, but the boys didn't have long eyes, and we finally cleaned them up! ”
Grandpa Xu remembered it at this time, and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, it's not worth it when you repay it, is it difficult for you to remember it so clearly?" ”
"If I hadn't listened to your advice, old man, I guess I would have fought hard with those dogs a long time ago, and the grace of saving my life is greater than the sky, how can I not take it to heart!" Li Xiuzhu's tone carried 120,000 points of sincerity.
Grandpa Xu shook his head, "You can endure humiliation for so long, relying on your own ability and creation, I really can't afford your life-saving grace!" ”
Li Xiuzhu wanted to say something, but Huan Huan hurriedly intercepted the conversation, "Xiuzhu, can you taste the fragrance of this roasted peanut?" ”
"These peanuts are salted, they taste so delicious!" Li Xiuzhu swallowed the peanut in her mouth before answering.
Grandpa Xu looked at Li Xiuzhu's decent words and deeds, and nodded secretly in his heart.
After such a long period of hardship, Li Xiuzhu can still adhere to the rules and upbringing of the big family, which shows the tenacity of Li Xiuzhu's heart.
Once such a person survives, the future will be limitless.
Grandpa Xu asked about Li Xiuzhu's family, and Li Xiuzhu said with a calm expression that her parents and relatives were gone, and she was the only one left in the entire Li family.
I don't know who leaked the news that the title deed of the Li family's property was in her hands, and in the past six months, people have been harassing her, in order to have the title deed in her hand.
She gritted her teeth and insisted that after finishing the last half year of junior high school, she applied for the name of an educated youth, and specially selected the quota in Sichuan Province.
She also had a relationship with the people from the Educated Youth Office on the road, and then she got in line and arrived at Sweetwater Village.
Grandpa Xu and Duan Huan were very embarrassed when they heard it, an isolated fifteen-year-old girl, who wanted to keep the title deed in her hand, and didn't know how much effort and energy it would take.
Although Jincheng does not pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, since Li Xiuzhu came to the door, Grandpa Xu said that he would leave her for a meal.
Grandpa Xu first chopped the remaining half of the chicken from yesterday into small pieces, added two pieces of pork bones, and put them into the soup of yesterday's chicken stew.
Bacon, fungus, mushrooms, tofu, radish, potatoes, pea tips, all washed and cut and placed on the table.
Then pour the chicken soup and chicken into the casserole, and around the stove is a steaming soup pot.
"Xiuzhu! You're welcome, treat it as your own home, and eat whatever you like! Grandpa Xu greeted Li Xiuzhu warmly.
Li Xiuzhu smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Master Xu, I haven't seen such a sumptuous shabu-shabu for a long time, just looking at it is a pleasure!" ”
"You can't see your stomach full, hurry up and eat with chopsticks!" Duan Huan first sandwiched half a chicken leg for Li Xiuzhu.
Duan Huan then scooped up another piece of chicken wings and put them in Grandpa Xu's dipping plate.
This meal is more meat and less meat on the whole, but the taste of the soup pot is really good, and it is definitely called the soup umami.
The delicious shabu-shabu is served with chopped pepper dipping plates, and the whole person is warmed up when eaten hot and spicy.
In order to take care of Li Xiuzhu's taste, Grandpa Xu put chopped peppers and seasonings on the table, which can be added according to personal taste.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuzhu, a native of the capital, ate spicier than Duan Huan and Grandpa Xu, and most of her dipping dishes were chopped peppers.
Looking at Grandpa Xu and Duan Huan's puzzled eyes, Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "My family's ancestral home is Hunan Province, and my family used to put chili peppers when cooking!" ”
"Then it's no wonder, the food in Hunan Province is actually spicier than that in Sichuan Province!" She smiled and asked Li Xiuzhu, "But the climate in the capital is so dry, can your body stand it if you eat so spicy?" ”
Li Xiuzhu replied with a smile, "You definitely can't eat it every day, you can eat it once in a while, it's good to have a good time!" ”
"Then you came to Sichuan Province to be regarded as the right place, we have heavy humidity here, and we won't be able to stand it if we don't eat chili peppers!" He said with a smile.
The atmosphere of this meal is quite harmonious, and Quan Huan and Grandpa Xu are both hospitable and warm hosts, and they will definitely not feel embarrassed by the first-time guests.
Li Xiuzhu has a frank and generous personality, and her knowledge and vision are not narrow, and she admires her personality very much, and the two are very speculative when they chat.
Grandpa Xu was busy serving them food, and he also participated in from time to time to say a few words halfway.
After eating, Grandpa Xu took a flashlight to send Li Xiuzhu back to Zhiqing, and he and Duan Huan also went out for a walk to eat.
Huanhuan carried a satchel full of sweets.
It's the New Year's season, her seniority is high, and when she meets a little doll to give her a New Year's greeting, she can't send red envelopes, and she always has to send two candies.
Sure enough, as soon as Duan Huan and Grandpa Xu arrived at the drying field, a group of little dolls gathered around and began to greet the New Year and say auspicious words.
With a smile and a smile, one person gave out a few white rabbit candies, and the little dolls pinched the candy, and they were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth.
Don't look at the life in the village in the past few years, it is much better than in previous years, but it is limited to food and clothing.
Even if adults buy New Year's goods during the New Year, most of them are local snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, beans, and white sesame candy, and flashy candies like white rabbits are still reluctant.
There are also little dolls who take out peanuts, melon seeds, and beans from their pockets and take the initiative to share them with Huanhuan.
is not disgusted, symbolically pinching a peanut melon seed to accept their kindness.
The educated youths are now also following the local customs, and they also huddle in a corner of the drying field to chat after eating.
When Wang Qian saw Li Xiuzhu, she walked up and asked, "Xiuzhu, where have you been?" Have you eaten? I left you rice in the pot! ”
"Thank you Wang Qian, I have eaten, Mrs. Xu left me to eat!" Li Xiuzhu hurriedly thanked her.
Wu Xiaoyan squinted her eyes and said, "Li Xiuzhu, you are really capable, it's only been a few days, and you've got the most capable person in the village!" ”
"Xiaoyan, don't talk nonsense, Xiuzhu is not the kind of person you say!" Wang Qian frowned and helped Li Xiuzhu defend herself.
Li Xiuzhu listened to Wu Xiaoyan's words and was not angry at all.
She has heard too many unbearable ridicule and curses over the years, and Wu Xiaoyan's frivolous disdain can't affect her at all.
"Wu Xiaoyan, if you are envious, you can say it generously, and I won't laugh at you, you can't be so yin and yang weird and scolding Huai." Li Xiuzhu said with a smile on her face.
Wu Xiaoyan didn't show weakness at all, "Hehe, my bones are not as soft as yours, and I can't straighten my waist when I see a little benefit!" ”
"I already have a friendship with Duan Huan, and it is normal to walk around during the New Year, why did you become a groveling soft bone when you came here?" Li Xiuzhu looked at Wu Xiaoyan with cold eyes.
Wu Xiaoyan looked at Li Xiuzhu's suddenly cold expression, her eyes were as sharp as knives, she felt a little scared, and finally she moved her lips and never spoke again.
When Li Xiuzhu came out with snacks and wine in the afternoon, she was full of joy and thought that Li Xiuzhu had taken it out to share with everyone.
As a result, Li Xiuzhu left with her things, saying that she was going to be a guest at Wanhuan's house, and she was psychologically unbalanced.
Seeing that Grandpa Xu and Duan Huan also specially sent Li Xiuzhu back, and heard that Li Xiuzhu had left a meal at Duan Huan's house, she was even more unhappy.
In the past few days, they have nothing to do, and they have also figured out the general situation in the village.
The best conditions in the village belong to the Huan family, Grandpa Xu is an old revolutionary, and the retirement benefits are definitely good.
She felt that Li Xiuzhu came to the door with snacks, but she was actually taking advantage.
In fact, Li Xiuzhu took advantage of the Huan family, and it was none of her business, but the problem was that Li Xiuzhu didn't let her get touched, and this was the problem.
