The winter vacation has begun, and the work in the village has also been summarized in stages.

On this day, it was the middle of the month, Xia Hanxun called the big guys to sit in the hall and had a small meeting, first let the people in the main positions summarize the work they were responsible for, and then the arrangements for duty during the Spring Festival.

Because of the more than 20 acres of vegetables and fruits planted in the village, this also means that some people have to stay on duty during the Spring Festival.

Wait until the end of the Spring Festival, and then rest.

"It's easy to talk about other positions, but the three of you have skills, you must have a good internal discussion about who will stay on duty during the Spring Festival." After listening to everyone's work reports, Xia Hanxun turned his eyes to the three technicians sitting in a pile.

These three are all singles, and if they want to go home to accompany their parents during the New Year, that is also the way they should be.

Xia Hanxun didn't ask the three of them for their opinions in advance, not wanting to complicate things.

Sure enough, the three people who usually say they wouldn't go home looked at each other, especially Bai Qiao, looked at Chai Qi and Ding Yu, and then pulled Xiao Han's elbow and asked in a low voice, "Are you going back to the city for the New Year?" ”

"That's right! I don't have to stay in the village every day! Xiao Han nodded.

"That's it, Mr. Chai, I want to go back to the city for a few days during the New Year, and I'll let you go back to the city to rest for a few more days after the New Year, okay?"

Chai Qi supported his face with one hand and nodded generously, "Alas, who called me the oldest of our three?" ”

Ding Yu was three or four years younger than Chai Qi, and when he saw that Bai Qiao wanted to go back to the city with Xiao Han for the New Year, he smiled sourly: "Xiaobai, are you going to see your in-laws?" ”

Bai Qiao's cheeks turned red, pursed his lips and turned his face back embarrassedly.

"That's it! You two go home for the Chinese New Year and spend time with your parents, brothers and sisters! I'll be fine when I go home anyway, so I'll stay at work, and after the New Year, I'll go back and relax as much as I want. Go back to both of you. ”

Bo Qinghang smiled apologetically at everyone: "That's it, if Mr. Chai stays, you can bring your parents here to spend the New Year with us, I heard Lao Wang say that the New Year in Qingyi Town is also very interesting, and there will be lion dances in the first month." This kind of activity is no longer seen in the city, if you don't have time to pick them up, I'll pick them up when I go back to the city. ”

"Oh, what do you do then?" Chai Qi suddenly got up embarrassed, sat up straight, and looked at Xia Hanxun, "Aren't you going back to the city for the New Year?" ”

Xia Hanxun took a bite of fresh strawberries: "My three fathers are going abroad for the New Year." ”

"I thought you were going back to Bo's house for the New Year......" Chai Qi felt that this girl had a bad brain.

Marry a chicken with a chicken and a dog with a dog, marry the Bo family for the first year, and don't you go home to accompany your in-laws during the New Year?

Bo Qinghang seemed to see Chai Qi's doubts, and helped his wife explain: "We all like the fireworks here, my parents are not so traditional parents, they will also travel to Bali during the Chinese New Year, and they will not be with us." Besides, Xia Shiyi's side, the three barristers have not rested for a year, and they also want to take Xia Shiyi to Switzerland for a vacation during the Spring Festival, and the family will be good for children to cultivate together. ”

Speaking of which, the three barristers feel that the heaviest burden on their shoulders at present is the cultivation of Xia Shiyi.

Chai Qi and they also know this.

Xiao Wang smiled and said: "Our Chinese New Year in the countryside is actually more fun than in your city." ”

"Is that the lion dance you're talking about?" Ding Yu was a little itchy.

He grew so big, a child in the city, he had never seen the lion dance, a traditional event in the New Year.

I've seen it in costume TV series.

"But when the time comes, if the lion dance team comes to our village, we will give the family a red envelope, and invite them to drink tea and eat melon seeds and candy. This is our custom here, and there is nothing serious about the New Year, and everyone wants to be happy. ”

"Do you want to give a red envelope to the lion dance team?"

Several city cubs said in unison.

Lao Wang nodded, "Yes!" It doesn't matter how much, it's just a piece of the owner's heart. ”

"Hehe, we live in the old village, if the lion dance team comes to the village, we have to walk for an hour." Xia Hanxun felt that the lion dance team would not run so far and come to the old village to dance the lion to them.

Xiao Wang waved his hand: "We can send a car to pick them up." ”

"Why do we have to welcome the lion dance team? Isn't it fragrant to sit in the yard at the door and drink tea and eat melon seeds? ”

"That's not the way it is...... During the Chinese New Year, we will be happy, and they will also use a car to send the lion dance team to the old village, so that our crops will grow prosperous in the coming year. Lao Wang explained with a smile, and he was quite looking forward to the lion dance team coming to the village to perform.

"And fireworks! It's best to come when it's getting dark! Xiao Wang hammered the table excitedly.

Bo Qinghang felt that it must be a very lively New Year's event, so he instructed Xiao Wang, "Xiao Wang, you are responsible for inviting the lion dance team to come into the village every day to perform for us during the New Year. Don't worry about red envelopes, fireworks, etc., isn't our company making money this year, ask your boss to contribute some points......"

Under Bo Qinghang's ridicule, the big guys suddenly discussed the New Year's activities in a happy atmosphere.

"For an event like a lion dance, I think we should apply for intangible cultural heritage." Xia Hanxun echoed her husband without humility.

"That's a good suggestion, baby, you wait, I'm going to light fireworks for you every night during the New Year."

The fancy kind.

The little couple touched the tip of their noses as if no one was around, which made Xia Hanxun giggle.

Her heart also turned a little, now, fireworks can't be set off in the city for the New Year, and this benefit is only available in sparsely populated places in the countryside, so she seems to vaguely hear that during the New Year, the night sky exploded with dazzling fireworks.

Chai Qixu was a rape grower, and scratched his head, "Then do you want to invite a fireworks technician from the city to come to the village to arrange a fancy fireworks show for us?" ”

"Oh, you guys are really hilarious, I don't want to go back to the city."

Xiao Han's mood is getting more and more unhappy.

He was also a cub who grew up in the city, and he hadn't seen a lion dance, let alone a fireworks show for years.

"Xiaobai, why don't we come back after Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Bai Qiao's eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment, "You also want to come back and set off fireworks?" ”

"It's all there."

"Wow."

"When you come back, you have to work, don't think you can stay in the house and go on vacation when you come back." Chai Qi poured cold water on the two.

"No problem! I decided to come back on the first day of the first lunar month, so that I could broadcast the lion dance activities in the village and town live to the cubs in the big cities outside, and ask for a wave of gifts by the way, anyway, it would be quite boring for me to go home for the New Year. ”

Xiao Han's decision was praised by Bai Qiao.

"Okay, I've decided that too."

Xia Hanxun saw that everyone's interest in fireworks and lion dance was greater than work, so he forcibly changed the topic, and the holiday arrangements of the three technicians were not bad, "Okay, then Mr. Chai will stay for the New Year, after all, Xiaobai is going to see her in-laws and the girl in the big house of the Xiao Han family, we can't delay the girl's marriage contract." ”

"What kind of marriage contract? It is...... Go to my house and have fun. ”

Xiao Han blushed and muttered.

"Tell your dad to wrap a big red envelope, Xiaobai has worked hard in the village, and milk tea is not supplied."

"Xiao Wang, what are you coaxing?!" Xiao Han glanced at Xiao Wang.

Wang Qinian looked at the big guy, "During the Chinese New Year, we were here." ”

"Captain Wang, aren't you going back to your hometown?"

Lao Wang was a little cramped, rubbing his left hand with his right hand: "Our family is just our grandfather, I will go back and light the ancestral grave in the first month." ”

The next day, the Dongdong family hired a pig killer.

The only neighbor in the village, Xiao Xia, received an invitation from Dongdong early in the morning: to drink shaved pig soup.

Dongdong came to the fence yard early in the morning and told Xia Hanxun that Grandma said to invite all of them to their house for lunch.

Bo Qinghang felt that there were many men on their side, so he ordered Xiuyi to go to Dongdong's house to help shave pigs.

He had never seen that kind of bloody picture, and when he heard the last howl of the pigs in the courtyard of Dongdong's house disappear, he led his little girl to see the shaved pigs, and Shu Nabin also went to help shave the pig's hair.

Xia Hanxun walked to the courtyard dam, only to see that the fire in the improvised stone stove was burning very strongly, a big fat pig was blown by the pig killer, and was put on the stove, Xiao Wang and Lao Wang came to help, the two fathers and sons and Uncle Liu had a clear division of labor, while pouring boiling water on the pig, and then using a planer to shave off the pig's hair.

Xia Hanxun felt that he should call Xiao Han over to shoot a few clips.

So he called Xiao Han from the greenhouse.

Xiao Han came to Liujiayuanba, saw several men surrounding a big fat pig, and then looked at Grandma Liu's face with a smile on her face, and knew that this was the most lucrative preparations for the New Year in the countryside.

Xia Hanxun took Dongdongwei to the side and watched for a while, and then followed Grandma Liu to the kitchen.

"Grandma, what can I do for you? Is it picking vegetables or—"

Grandma Liu was very busy, "Okay, okay, Xiao Xun will help me pinch the beans." ”

"Okay, Dongdong, let's pinch the beans."

Grandma Liu put the green beans that Xiuyi picked from the greenhouse in a small dustpan and handed them to Xia Hanxun.

Turning around, he was busy in the kitchen again.

Xia Hanxun sat on the chair in the kitchen, Dongdong sat on the small bench in front of him, and the two of them were tidying up the beans, and the ears were Grandma Liu's chatter, and Grandma Liu was still talking about the fact that when she was in winter, Xia Hanxun asked a few men to come over and help them repair the pigsty.

"Grandma, forget about it, it's not a big deal."

"Why isn't it a big deal? Now the toilet has also been repaired for us, Dongdong can take a bath in the toilet, Xiao Xun, grandma is really happy to be your neighbor...... "The old man was brushing the pot by the stove, and when he looked back at the two people sitting at the door, Xia Hanxun clearly saw some tears in her eyes.

At noon, smoke rose from the chimney of Liu's kitchen.

The big guy ate the fresh pork balls from Dongdong's house.

Grandma Liu is also very generous, and she made fried shredded pork with green onions, plum cabbage button meat, tomato pork balls, and lotus root pork rib soup for everyone...... Xia Hanxun felt that this was the most rural meal he had eaten since he came to the village, and during the banquet, he saw that the old men were clinking glasses with each other, and he made a suggestion: "Do you think we lack a farmhouse here?" ”

Several men at the table were stunned.

Xiao Wang smiled and hit the boss, "The farmhouse can be opened, but there must be guests!" ”

"After the Phoenix Terrace ruins are built, Xiuyi, you go and open a farmhouse." Xia Hanxun looked at Xiuyi and said excitedly.

"If you pay, I can ......," Xiao Wang smiled.

"Okay! I'm the big guy, let's work together, and Grandma's good skills can be brought into play. ”

Grandma Liu smiled happily: "What delicious dishes can I make." ”

said this at any time, but Grandma Liu had already heard the news of the development of the Phoenix Terrace site, and she didn't expect to make money in there in the future, but she was thinking that Dongdong's father should come back and find something to do, so that Dongdong could be with his parents every day in the future.

The men present also knew that the Fenghuangtai site was a large new cultural village community.

All facilities are of the most modern.

It is rumored that there are already many wealthy people in the city who want to come and buy houses after hearing about it.

There will also be a large Japanese-style nursing home built here.

When the time comes, the elderly in the town who have reached a certain age can be admitted to a nursing home and receive the best care.

In the wax moon, almost every day is spent in such a hopeful future.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Xia Hanxun also followed Bo Qinghang to the town to buy some mountain goods.

The two are like the most ordinary young couple, they went to the bar, went to the old teahouse, and went to the market with baskets in hand, and really lived a sweet little life after marriage.

It's almost the New Year, and Xiao Wang is also thinking about his girlfriend in the next village to his hometown, and he specially bought New Year's goods for others to send to his home.

Lao Wang said that this is also the etiquette on their side.

During the New Year's holidays, you should visit your fiancée's house with gifts to enhance your relationship.

Sending off Xiao Han and Xiao Baiqiao, Xia Hanxun began to arrange the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although Chai Qi was unable to return to his home in the city for the New Year, under his persuasion, his parents also came to the village and celebrated the New Year in the countryside with them, and the house suddenly became lively again.

There are two families in the old village of Rose, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xia Hanxun asked Bo Qinghang to invite Dongdong early.

Grandma Liu also agreed to come to the fence yard at night to celebrate the New Year together.

Otherwise, Dongdong can't help but run over.

For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Grandma Liu brought a few farm dishes and made a table of sumptuous dishes with Xiuyi.

It's just that at the dinner table, when Bo Qinghang handed out red envelopes to everyone, Dongdong held the red envelopes in his hands but threw himself into Xia Hanxun's arms and cried.

"Hey, what's going on with our cutie? Could it be that the red envelope given by the teacher is not big enough? ”

Dongdong cried for a while, raised his head, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said, "Mom lied to me again......"

Grandma Liu also lowered her head sadly and quietly lifted her apron to wipe her eyes.

Everyone understands why Dongdong is crying.

The dinner table was a little solemn for a while.

Bo Qinghang gave everyone a red envelope, came back to sit next to Xia Hanxun, picked up the little guy and put it on his lap, pretending to tease him easily, "Dongdong, although your mother didn't come back to accompany you for the New Year, but Hanxun's sister and teacher are accompanying you for the New Year, and, after dinner, Uncle Xiao Wang is going to take you to set off fireworks, do you like to set off fireworks?" It's the kind that explodes flowers in the sky. ”
