Xiao Chu was very unhappy to be a nanny behind a four-year-old child, but he still put down the ginger that was scraping the skin and accompanied Xiao Jian downstairs.

Around ten o'clock, all the ingredients for the New Year's dinner have been prepared, and we just wait for the fire in the stove to get bigger and start cooking.

Xiao Chu took Xiao Jian and shouted downstairs: "Big sister, Brother Da Yong is here!" ”

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, why did Liu Dayong come to their house?

Xiaoru's sisters and brothers all looked out of the window suspiciously, only to see Liu Dayong carrying a burden and going upstairs under the guidance of the two Xiaochu brothers.

Xiao Ru hurriedly opened the door wide, and more than a minute later, Liu Dayong carried the burden and followed the Xiao Chu brothers into the house.

He put down his burden, untied a sack from the burden, and said to Xiaoru: "This sack is full of green vegetables, enough for you to eat until the sixth day of the new year, and I will send you a sack of green vegetables on the sixth day of the first month." ”

He also untied another sack from his burden, which contained live chickens, which struggled and gurgled in horror as soon as they were moved.

Liu Dayong glanced up at Xiao Ruo, quickly looked away, and still said to Xiao Ru: "Yesterday, our family killed a pig and sold most of it, leaving more than ten catties of pork, and my mother and I couldn't eat so much pork, so I sent you a few catties, in addition to a large bag of my mother's fried tofu balls or something, and then a big rooster and your sister and brother put peanuts in my house." ”

Xiao Ru laughed: "I forgot about those peanuts a long time ago, and you sent not many of them!" ”

Liu Dayong secretly glanced at Xiao Ruo again, and said to Xiao Ru: "It's not easy for you and Xiao Jian to pick up those peanuts, of course I have to send them to you, as well as the three hundred catties of rice you put in our house, the two little brothers brought ninety catties to school before and after, and two hundred and ten catties, I won't send them to you, keep Xiao Ji and Xiao Chu to take to school to eat." ”

Xiao Ruo said: "Brother Dayong, my younger brothers and sisters have been taken care of by Aunt Jiang for so long, and today they sent us these things, you can eat those rice, now our conditions are a little better than before, the two little brothers want to take the rice to school, and then buy it." ”

Liu Dayong smiled honestly: "I didn't bring you any good things, these vegetables are all grown at home, and it's not a waste of old vegetables in the vegetable field if you can't eat them, as for those rice, my mother and son really don't want it, and our family doesn't have no rice to eat, what do you want your rice for?"

If it weren't for Xiaoru's guidance to me to catch crabs and make brine peanuts to sell, how could I have made so much money this year? Besides, I set up a stall in the city every day and you bring me lunch, I haven't been polite to you, so don't be polite to me! ”

After Liu Dayong finished speaking, he looked inside and out of the house where Xiaoru's sisters and brothers lived, stood on the rooftop outside the house and said: "This house is so big enough for you to live in, but this board house is too cold." ”

glanced at Xiao Ruo's bed sheets and quilt covers hanging on the platform again, nodded and said, "This house is easy to dry." Then he had to say goodbye and leave.

Xiaoru's sisters and brothers all said, "Brother Dayong, let's leave after eating New Year's dinner at our house." ”

Liu Dayong smiled and declined: "No, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to do at home, I have to hurry back." ”

Xiaoru's five sisters and brothers kept sending Liu Dayong downstairs and sending him out of the hospital before coming back, Xiaoruo opened the sack containing the meat and rooster, and took the things out the same.

The rooster is at the top, tied with wings and feet, followed by a large bag of tofu balls and yuba flour in a plastic bag, and then the peanuts stored in Aunt Jiang's house by the two sisters and brothers.

Under the peanuts was a large pile of meat tied with plastic sheeting, Xiao Ruo untied the plastic sheeting, a large piece of fat meat with white flowers, a large piece of pork belly, and a large piece of pork liver and a mouthpiece.

Xiaoru's five sisters and brothers were very moved, a pig is only a note, but Aunt Jiang asked Liu Dayong to bring it to them.

There are also three big silver carp lying under the pork, Hubei is a province of a thousand lakes, the river is rich in fresh food, silver carp is the cheapest fish in the local area.

Xiao Ru guessed that this silver carp must have been caught by Liu Dayong himself, because he thought that it was not a valuable fish, so he was embarrassed to mention it to them.

Xiao Ruo looked at the three silver carp and said, "If we knew that Brother Liu would send us fish, we shouldn't have spent money to buy fish." ”

Xiao Rubai glanced at her: "Sister, can you stop being so picky?" It's not that we haven't made a little money, besides, ordinary life is so hard, so you can't afford to eat a few good meals in the New Year? These silver carp are made into sake lees fish and eaten. ”

Xiao Ruo nodded: "Let Xiao Chu buy a bottle of liquor later, and I'll make sake lees fish for you." ”

Another sack of greens contains garlic, shallots, coriander, leeks, spinach, celery, and red-skinned white radish and carrot Chinese cabbage, which are characteristic of the countryside.

Xiao Ru smiled and said to Xiao Ruo: "I was worried that there was not enough food for the New Year, so Brother Liu sent so many dishes." ”

Xiao only took the three big silver carps to the kitchen to kill, and Xiao Chu took Xiao Jian to buy liquor.

Xiao Ru started to cook, Xiao Ruo took some garlic, celery, and spinach to wash, ready to make side dishes later.

At twelve o'clock, the New Year's dinner was almost ready, and eight dishes were hearty enough for her five siblings.

Xiao Jian is the busiest, and he has to eat braised pork ribs, chicken, and stir-fried pork tongue.

"Oh, I only have one mouth for so many good dishes!" Xiao Jian was so anxious that he screamed, and all the brothers and sisters he provoked laughed, but there was a bit of sadness in the laughter.

Five people and eight dishes, it's really not much, it can only be said that Xiaoru's sisters and brothers used to have a hard time in the Lin family, so Xiao Jian felt a lot when he saw eight dishes.

Xiao Ruo gave the two chicken legs to Xiao Ru and Xiao Jian respectively, and the two chicken wings to the little brothers: "Xiao Ru works so hard to make money, you have to study hard, eat chicken wings and fly high in the future, don't forget Xiao Ru." ”

Xiao Ru gave the chicken leg to Xiao Ruo again: "Brothers and sisters originally supported each other, what do you forget!" It's sister, you eat more food yourself, don't give this clip to that clip, we still have a lot of good dishes to eat during the New Year these days, are you still afraid that we won't eat well? ”

The implication is that Xiaoruo is about to go back to Liu's house, and he can't eat some good food if he wants to.

There was no drink, and the five sisters and brothers said auspicious words of blessing to each other while eating vegetables, and they ate for an hour.

Although there are eight dishes, and almost all of them are meat dishes, they can't resist the fact that the five sisters and brothers don't have much oil and water in their stomachs, and they have a large amount of food.

After eating the New Year's dinner, Xiao only cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiao Ruo went into the room to pack her simple luggage and prepare to go back to her mother-in-law's house.
