After eating the reunion dinner, it was also dark, and Han Jin hung up the lanterns that had been prepared long ago, which he had secretly tied with sorghum stalks in the old mansion these days, just to save Chinese New Year's Eve to surprise Xiangxiang.

Two big pumpkin lanterns at the door, red reflecting the snow outside, there are two big blessing words pasted on it, look carefully at the blessing word cut a little crooked, he learned it from Sister Fangya, the master's level is not good, and he is not blamed for not cutting well.

There are six or seven small ones in the house, Xiangxiang's favorite rabbit lamp is put on the kang table for her to play, the lotus lamp that is not very satisfied is placed on the windowsill, and the small two big goose lamps are placed at the door, Xiangxiang especially likes the big goose.

Sister Fang Ya was going to die of laughter when she saw him tie the goose, saying that if people want to do it, they will also draw a crane on the lantern, what is his whole goose going to do?

Han Jin laughed with her, anyway, Xiangxiang liked it, and he didn't show it to others.

Xiangxiang really liked it very much, picked up a big goose lamp for a long time, and put the kang head.

There were also two small orange lamps, which were also placed on the kang table for her to show, together with a plate of fresh oranges on the table, Han Jin looked very satisfied!

He finally let Xiangxiang eat oranges, which he went to the county seat to change from Ma Dadao two days ago.

Ma Dadao has a scar on his face, looks fierce and vicious, lives in a small courtyard in the county seat, grandpa said that before the liberation, it was also a party figure, after the liberation, he became a public security officer in the county, and he was still a big official. He doesn't have much contact with his grandfather, but as long as his grandfather asks him to do something, he will definitely be able to do it, and it is safest to find him for big and small things.

Two years ago, ******, Ma Dadao knocked out a brick on the head of the martial arts team, and before he woke up, he was suspended and went home.

He is a lonely old man, he has no daughter-in-law and no children in his life, so he can eat in one bite, Han Jin can't find a desirable orange in the county, it's not nothing, it's just that the fruit company shipped it is either wilted or too small, so he took a roe deer leg to find Ma Dadao.

Ma Dadao collected his roe deer legs, and when he went again, he gave him a small basket of big oranges, and said that he would go again after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was another basket.

The orange was bigger than Han Jin's fist, full and fresh, wrapped in thick straw paper, and there were only twenty in a small basket. Xiangxiang said that this kind of food is not eaten by peeling, but is cut into teeth with a knife and put on a plate like eating watermelon.

Han Jin and Xiaoshan were reluctant to eat, one gnawed a tooth, one said it was too sour, and the other said that there was no frozen pear water, and they were all left to Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang is also very cherished, even the skin is reluctant to throw away, put it on the stove to bake, saying that there is a fragrance in the house, and the stew will be delicious in the future.

There were several lanterns lit in the house, and a warm and warm cottage was reflected in the red, and the daffodils were quietly blooming, and there was a warm and sweet fragrance in the house.

Han Jin sat at the kang table with Xiangxiang, and he felt that the fragrance was not from daffodils, but from Xiangxiang. It must be, what he is most familiar with since he was a child is the fragrance on Xiangxiang's body, and the daffodils definitely don't smell so good.

There were dried fruits and fruits on the table, and Xiangxiang patiently peeled off the thin skin on the outside of the walnut kernel, peeled out a white and fat walnut kernel and handed it to Han Jin.

Han Jin was reluctant to eat it, like when he was a child, he put it on the table, and there was already a row on it, melon seeds, walnut kernels, chestnut kernels, pine nuts and hazelnut kernels, and the happiest thing about the New Year when he was a child was to put all kinds of nuts given by Xiangxiang in order, and when he had saved enough, he would stuff a large handful of them into his mouth and eat them.

Xiangxiang eats one by herself and peels one for him, and then peels one for Xiaoshan who is not at home, and the two of them are gossiping about a room of red lanterns, and they are both down-to-earth and satisfied when they think of it. As if they hadn't experienced the hardships of separation over the years, they were still like when they were children, knowing that they could rely on each other the most in the world, and that they cherished each other's hearts extremely preciously.

After eating almost, Xiaoshan also ran around with his friends and came back, "Sister, when are we going to make dumplings?" The second egg family is all wrapped! ”

It was quiet in the tunzi, and firecrackers had not been allowed to be set off for two years, saying that they were afraid that the class enemy would take advantage of the opportunity to rebel, and the sound of firecrackers was their best cover. But this does not affect the enthusiasm of the children for the New Year, do not let the firecrackers they run around the field to build a bonfire, Xiaoshan was called away by the second egg and a group of half-sized children after eating, before leaving also deliberately put on a set of old clothes, came back with a mushy smell, white little face several black ashes, I don't know what is burned in the field.

It's something to eat when I'm tired of playing.

Zhou Lanxiang smiled and pushed the nuts that he had left for him just now, "Go wash your face, eat this mat first, let's eat this mat, the meat of our dumpling filling has been cut, and it must not be later than others." ”

Xiaoshan washed his hands and changed his clothes before going to the kang, he dared to bring this body of ash to his sister's side, and Brother Jin could throw him out directly.

The nuts that my sister gave him were not as complete as Brother Jin's, most of them were peeled, but he didn't care since he was a child, he ate them anyway, although the nuts his sister gave him were incomplete, but they were certainly not less than Brother Jin, and he didn't have so many things like Brother Jin!

Xiaoshan stuffed both handfuls in his mouth, and the chew was delicious!

Han Jin saw that the time was almost up, so he went down to the field to wash celery and leeks, and they ate two kinds of stuffing for the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, celery meat and leek meat, all of which were grown in the house by Xiangxiang.

Many families in Tunzi use celery wrapped pickles in the sauce jar to make New Year's dumplings, indicating that they can be diligent all year long. Han Jin proposed to make another leek, and they would have to celebrate the New Year together for a long time in the future.

He didn't need Xiangxiang to do it, he quickly picked it up, washed it, cut it again, and let Xiangxiang season it when he wanted to wrap it later.

As soon as he was ready, the eldest brother came over, and he came to pick up Xiangxiang to go around the well.

Generally, going around the well platform is at twelve o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, Han Jin felt that it was too cold at that time, and that little Xiangxiang must be sleepy, and he couldn't go out again, in case it was freezing.

Zhou Lanxiang put on a thick cotton jacket and a scarf, Han Jin had to ask her to put on a bearskin coat and a fox fur hat, and also put on the big mask, covering her so that she only showed her two eyes to be satisfied.

The second egg and a group of half-sized children who were scurrying around also came to play with the hill, and when they heard that they went around the well, a group of little boys also followed.

Han Jin and Xiaoshan protected Xiangxiang in the middle, the eldest brother took them in front, and more than a dozen and a half children ran forward and backwards, I don't know whose Tao boy occasionally made a few strange screams, the big guy laughed, and a large group of people walked to the well platform of their six teams lively.

Halfway through, I met Uncle Mai Zi who came out to stroll, the black light was blind, and Uncle Mai Zi heard that it was a group of half-sized children who were making strange movements, so he stopped and trained them, "Stop!" Dare to light a fire in the tun and in the woods, and I'll kick you off! ”

During the Chinese New Year, the children lit two piles of fire in the open field outside Tunzi, and Uncle Mai also turned a blind eye, but if they dared to cause trouble, they would definitely have to be cleaned up.

As soon as Han Jin heard that Uncle Mai Zi was going to scold, he was afraid that he would say something that Xiangxiang couldn't listen to, so he hurriedly spoke up, "Uncle Mai, Boss Zhou and I will send Xiangxiang around the well platform." What kind of stuffed dumplings do you have today? My aunt has already wrapped the dumplings, right? ”

When Uncle Mai heard that there was a big girl here, he quickly followed Han Jin's words and talked about the dumplings at home, and also instructed Zhou Qingsong and Xiaoshan, "Take Xiaoxiang around a few more times, next year she will be hard, and the days will get better and better!" ”

Zhou Lanxiang also greeted Uncle Mai Zi and told him not to go to the tuyere, and when he saw that the wind was choking and coughed again, the group went to the well platform.

When they arrived at the well platform, they may have come the earliest, and they didn't see other daughters coming, so the eldest brother took Xiao Xiang around the well platform, and chanted loudly as he walked, "Xiao Xiang's body will be hard and hard next year, and there will be no disasters and no illnesses and peace and security!" ”

Xiaoshan also chanted loudly, and a group of boys beside him also shouted loudly, and for a while, the side of the well platform was full of "Xiaoxiang" and "Xiaoxiang Sister" one after another, and Tao Boy craned his neck with strange movements, which made Zhou Lanxiang giggle.

Han Jin pulled her by one arm, there was a lot of ice on the side of the well, he was afraid that she would fall, so he heard her laugh and told her, "Don't laugh, sincerity can be spiritual!" ”
