Compared with the simple Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of white wine and dumplings for the young people, the New Year's dinner of Quan Huan and Grandpa Xu is much grander.

Bacon sausage, pork ribs sauce platter, stir-fried chicken with celery, bean paste, grilled assorted green bamboo shoots and belly strips, mapo tofu, pea tip crispy broth.

Five dishes and one soup can be regarded as meat dishes, but the Chinese New Year's Eve meal made by Grandpa Xu is not simply and rudely, counting all the big fish and meat on the table.

He pays attention to abundance and completeness, there must be cold and hot, vegetables and soup, and what he looks forward to is the meaning of perfection.

Besides, in addition to the Chinese New Year's Eve today, it is still a happy birthday, and these dishes made by Grandpa Xu are basically loved to eat.

There are many samples of dishes, but there are only two people in the family, so the amount of each dish is relatively small.

In order to cater to the atmosphere of the reunion banquet, and to prevent Grandpa Xu from feeling that the family was less sad, Duan Huan took out a small jar of peach stuff from the space.

This wine is the peach of the newly planted peach tree in the space, and according to the ancient method recorded in ancient books, the fruit wine is brewed.

The newly planted peach trees are watered with spiritual spring water, and like the fruit trees outside, they bloom and bear fruit every year, and they ripen once a year.

Although the taste of the peach is not as good as that of the old peach tree, the yield of the peach tree is good.

I can't finish eating the peaches that have passed the season, and I use them to make wine.

The peache-stuffed liquor is poured into a white porcelain bowl, which is peach pink, and the aroma is strong and fragrant, which makes people smell intoxicating.

Duan Huan poured himself a little, ready to accompany Grandpa Xu for a drink.

Grandpa Xu happily listened to the joyful New Year's toast, and then drank it all with his wine glass.

Duan Huan also took a sip of the wine glass, the taste was soft and smooth, and the taste could be said to be her most successful winemaking.

But with such a soft and smooth taste, the strength of the strong wine can only be felt when you swallow it.

Once the wine is swallowed, it will run down the throat and burn all the way to the stomach, and the whole person will be steaming hot.

But the heat did not make me dizzy, and the heat rising from the stomach quickly spread all over the limbs, making the whole person feel warm.

This is probably related to peaches, and eating peaches from two trees will make people heat up to varying degrees.

After drinking half a glass of wine, Grandpa Xu didn't let him drink it, saying that he was growing his body and was not suitable for drinking such strong wine.

Afraid that he would hurt his body by drinking, Grandpa Xu drank all the remaining small jars, and after drinking, he still felt unsatisfied.

After eating, he gave out two red envelopes to Duan Huan, and when Grandpa Xu was about to get up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he felt that this wine was not so simple.

He felt that the whole person was light and fluttering, and he couldn't stand on his feet at all, but he was still happy, and quickly helped him to the house and lay down.

The next morning, Grandpa Xu didn't get up early for the first time, and went into his bedroom to see that he was holding the quilt and breathing for a long time, and he slept so fragrantly.

But in addition to sleeping soundly, Grandpa Xu did not have a hangover and haggardness, so he relieved his heart and let him continue to sleep.

Grandpa Xu lay down at noon on the first day of the next new year, and when he woke up, Duan Huan was already cooking lunch.

"Xiao Yu'er, I've been asleep for so long, why didn't you wake me up?" Grandpa Xu washed his face and asked Huan.

Huan Huan hurriedly put down the knife and said, "Zuzu, you may have drunk too much wine yesterday, do you have a headache now?" Do you want me to make you a decanting soup to drink? ”

"You don't need to decant the soup," Grandpa Xu said in surprise: "Yesterday the wine was strange, I was drunk in less than a catty, but now I don't feel like I am at all, and the whole person is very comfortable!" ”

He smiled and said, "Zuzu, do you remember the peaches we ate in the summer, the wine is made of peaches, I don't know why it's so strong!" ”

"Little fish, that peach can't be a fairy peach, right? Didn't it say that the immortals were drunk for three thousand years? Grandpa Xu asked in a whisper.

Huan Huan waved his hand, "Zuzu! You all say that immortals have been drunk for 3,000 years, and you have only slept one more morning, how can it be a fairy peach! ”

"That's right, but the taste of the wine is really good, and our little fish's winemaking skills have improved a lot!" After Grandpa Xu washed his face, he sat down in front of the stove hole and lit the fire.

Duan Huan glared at Grandpa Xu, "No matter how good it is, I can't let you drink it, I slept for so long after this drink, but it scared me enough!" ”

"Okay, okay, listen to you, I promise to drink less in the future!" Grandpa Xu hurriedly said.

The lunch meal is much simpler than yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, except for the leftovers that were deliberately left yesterday.

I fried a freshly fried lettuce slice, which started earlier and tasted crisper, which was very suitable for Grandpa Xu's appetite.

The staple food is boiled rice porridge, which is also specially prepared for Grandpa Xu for fear that he will lose his appetite when he gets drunk.

Grandpa Xu drank three bowls of porridge in succession before putting down the chopsticks, touched his stomach and sighed comfortably.

After the grandparents cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, taking advantage of the good weather and a little sun, the grandparents and grandchildren sat under the porch with a rocking chair, basking in the sun that was not warm.

On the wire shelf on the charcoal fire, an iron teapot and a handful of salt peanuts were placed, and a game of Go was set up on the small table.

Playing Go over a warm fire, the sound of burning charcoal and the sound of peanuts cracking on the iron shelf mingled with the smell of tea in the mist.

Duan Huan didn't hold on for a while and began to play coquettish chess, and Grandpa Xu could only helplessly let her scream.

Xiao Jin jumped up and down on the armrest of the chaise longue, and the female eagle stood on the windowsill and watched curiously, chirping a few times from time to time to brush her presence.

On the first day of the revolutionary Lunar New Year, there were no temple fairs and no entertainment activities, but Duan Huan and Grandpa Xu were not bored and lonely at all, but very leisurely.

After trying her best, when she finally wanted to win a game, Li Xiuzhu came to the door with two packs of snacks and two bottles of wine.

Grandpa Xu looked at Li Xiuzhu with a puzzled expression, isn't this the educated youth who came a few days ago? How can you bring things to the house?

According to the current customs of Jincheng, the first day of the Lunar New Year is not a New Year's greeting, and the things that Li Xiuzhu is carrying are the rhythm of New Year's greetings.

Seeing that it was Li Xiuzhu, she greeted happily: "Xiuzhu!" Come on in! ”

Li Xiuzhu handed the things to Duan Huan, and solemnly hugged the luggage for Grandpa Xu, "Happy New Year, old man!" ”

"Happy New Year to you, you're Xiaoyu'er's new friend, right? Sit down and drink tea and eat peanuts! Grandpa Xu said with a smile.

Grandpa Xu, Li Xiuzhu, was also kind and kind, but he still looked at Li Xiuzhu without a trace.

He observed and looked at Li Xiuzhu, not intentionally interfering with Huanhuan's friendship, but had to be careful and careful.

In this day and age, husband and wife can easily turn against each other, not to mention the young people from other places who don't know the roots.

Li Xiuzhu's big black and white eyes greeted Grandpa Xu's gaze very openly, "Old man, it seems that you don't remember me either!" ”

"Aren't you a young man from the village?" Grandpa Xu said that he had no impression of Li Xiuzhu.

Li Xiuzhu took the teacup handed by Wan Huan, and said to Grandpa Xu with a smile:

"It seems that the grace is not reciprocated, it is your family's family style, a few years ago in the capital's Black Sesame Hutong, you and Duan Huan also saved me! I said I wanted to repay you! ”

Grandpa Xu thought about it for a long time and still had no impression, at that time saving Li Xiuzhu was just a convenient thing, he didn't take Li Xiuzhu's promise to repay the favor to heart, after so many years, he must not remember.
