Maybe she hasn't had a few years of Ansheng in her life, but it's rare to be harmonious and beautiful now, Mu Xiulian is very interested, she usually doesn't drink much, and she also took out a jar of wine to add some joy.

"This is Wu Niangzi's family in the next village to buy, her family's wine is famous, in the past to buy it has to queue up, the New Year's festival has to be made in advance, this jar or I went back two times before and after, only to buy back."

Mu Xiulian poured a bowl for each member of the family, and even Qin Huai poured a bowl bottom. Da Chen Guo can't help drinking, and the country boys have a lot of good drinking in their teens. In the past, it was Annette Mu who felt that drinking was wrong, and deliberately detained Qin Huai, once in a while, it was not an exaggeration.

Qin Huai was very curious, picked up the bowl and took a small sip, only to feel a little clear, a little choking, a little with some smell that seemed to be floral, and the others were nothing special.

"Is this the famous wine?" Qin Huai's loss was not disguised: "There is no taste at all, it is neither sweet nor sour, and it is not as delicious as the rice wine brewed by Sister-in-law Zhang." ”

The childish words made the adults laugh, Qin Huai was annoyed by the laughter, and sulked, Chen Youyi added a piece of braised pork to him, he twisted it twice, and soon forgot about this annoyance, and gnawed on the large piece of meat with relish.

This meat is slaughtered by home-raised pigs, there is no variety of artificial feed, eating all kinds of natural pigweed, growing slowly is slow, but the taste is simple, whether it is fried and stewed, adding some condiments is fragrant.

After integrating into the natural green rural life, Chen Youyi sometimes feels that even if she returns to modern times, she is not used to the kind of reinforced concrete city, just more than a year apart, recalling the past, it is already vague, as if she is in a different world.

She also sandwiched a piece herself, wrapped in a thick oil red sauce with soft but somewhat firm pork belly, and when she bit into it, she was full of satisfaction.

"Don't just eat food, come, drink some wine." Mu Xiulian poured Chen Youyi's bowl full again, and poured a bowl for Qin Ziheng: "It's rare that you are all at home, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, even if you are drunk, it is okay, tomorrow few families will get up early, the first day of the new year, are lazy at home." ”

Chen Youyi's wine consumption is very average, even sweet rice wine with a low degree, and he will not drink more. However, seeing that Mu Xiulian was in high spirits today, she didn't want to be cold, not to mention that this wine was not intoxicating to drink, so she didn't refuse.

"I'll fill it for you." Chen Youyi took the wine jar, poured it for Mu Xiulian, picked up the bowl and touched the other party's bowl lowly: "I wish you good health and good luck in the coming year." ”

Mu Xiulian teased: "The words of blessing should be left until the first day of the new year to say it, you are good, why did you say it at thirty?" ”

"Thirty has thirty blessings, and the first day of the new year has the auspiciousness of the first day of the new year." Chen Youyi said with a smile: "Your old man will have a long time, every year is today, and every year is now." ”

The Qin family is a gourd with no mouth, and the mind is the extreme, where can there be such rhetoric. And most of the people in the world have ears, so they are willing to listen to these rhetoric, and if there is still some truth in this rhetoric, they will be even more happy.

Mu Xiulian was coaxed into laughing, she was always sad, and the hard life was engraved in her bones, so that she had no strength to laugh. But that doesn't mean she's willing to be sad in her heart. Who is young and ignorant is not carefree, and then he was only forced to grit his teeth and remain silent.

Just like Mu Xiulian, when she was a girl, where would she have so many worries, and there would be times when she laughed and was naughty with her little sisters, and later got married and gave birth to children, life became sad, and when her husband died, she was a woman pulling two children, and in the dead of night, she only had to cry secretly.

Those young girls' hearts can't support a crumbling poor family.

"You'll have a sweet mouth and say something out of tune." Maybe it was because the smell of wine gradually came up, Mu Xiulian's eyes were a little moist, but the smile on her face was real: "That's okay, Ziheng hasn't liked to talk since he was a child, and with you by his side, it will be more lively." ”

Chen Youyi was a little heartbroken by this kindness, she didn't dare to look directly at Mu Xiulian, nor did she dare to turn her head to look at Qin Ziheng, but she could clearly feel that there were two lines of sight fixed on her back, so she had to smirk for a while and be confused.

She told two more jokes, bringing the atmosphere back to lively, and the little bit of heart that was circling between the customers was taken out and put on the Qin family, and after a while, she was coaxed to the north, and she was happy.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family chatted around the stove to keep the New Year. Tea was boiling on the stove, and I couldn't get rid of the wine, and I was smoked by the warm breath, but I was even more groggy.

Chen Youyi rubbed her temples, only feeling careless just now. The jar of fruit wine tasted light, but I didn't expect it to have a lot of stamina. Now the wine is high, and the whole body is lazy, I don't want to move, and my eyelids are fighting vigorously.

"If you're sleepy, go back to your room early and go to bed, I'll just keep watch here." Mu Xiulian saw Chen Youyi's head little by little, as if she would fall asleep at any time, and hurriedly pushed her son: "What are you doing in a daze, take her back to the room." ”

Chen Youyi was dying, patting her hot cheeks with her hand, wanting to refuse this kindness: "I'm fine, Qin Huai is holding on, how can I sleep first." It's almost an hour, and I'll keep watch for a while. ”

Qin Huai is not much better than her, firstly, she is already sleepy at a young age, and secondly, just being smoked by alcohol is enough for a child to get drunk. But he doesn't know what to do this year, saying that he didn't keep it until midnight in previous years, and this year he has grown up, so he must be awake like an adult and wait for the next year.

Mu Xiulian said that she couldn't move her youngest son or daughter-in-law, so she had no choice but to let them fall asleep as she wanted, but she desperately woke herself up before she fell into a complete sleep, trying to open her eyes wide.

Fortunately, the hour was indeed almost up, and when the tea simmering on the small stove boiled again, it leaked even more to the hour.

"Wake up." Qin Ziheng held Qin Huai's shoulder and called people up: "Didn't you say that you want to fire the cannon before others and become the first person in the village to expel the Year Beast?" Wake up soon, you're going to be preempted. ”

Qin Huai rubbed his eyes, and soon, the child's playful mind took over, and the honor of being the first to set off firecrackers in the whole village finally overcame sleepiness, he jumped off the chair and went straight to the firecrackers.

"Big brother, hurry up!" In a blink of an eye, he came to his senses and urged Qin Ziheng in turn.

Qin Ziheng lit an unlit incense, lit it near the fire, walked over and handed it to Qin Huai, and then spread out the firecrackers with a thousand rings and spread them on the ground.

Chen Youyi and Mu Xiulian also got closer and told the two to be careful at the door. Qin Huai waved the lit incense and bent down cautiously, waiting for Qin Ziheng to give a signal.
