Chapter 109: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Xiaokang, master, you are here! Boy and his father, come on, Xiaokang's master and classmates are here! "My mother was also very excited when she saw my master, she always felt that my life was given by my master, and she was working hard to take care of my daily life alone, which should have been her own hard work.
When my dad heard my mom's shout, he immediately came out of the kitchen, also very excited, and stammered in broken Mandarin, "Come in and have tea." "Drink the word is not quite good at speaking, and said "huo tea".
Based on what I know about the two of them, they don't care about tea or not! I immediately said to them, "Come over to dinner." ”
Sure enough, the two foodies immediately rushed to the table. You don't need chopsticks, you just grab the pancake and stuff it in your mouth.
"Eat slowly, I'll make it for everyone, and the child will hurry up and serve two bowls of porridge to Master Wang and this little chubby dun." My dad's favorite thing is when someone eats his food and shows that he can't wait.
"Uncle, your cooking is so delicious, much better than my parents' cooking, every time they cook, it's dark cuisine." The fat man said hesitantly while stuffing the oil cake.
"What's wrong with you, you didn't eat like this before! Why is it the same as the reincarnation of a starving ghost this time? "I asked a little puzzled, although the fat man is a foodie, but he has always eaten without hurry, it is good when he gobbles up, and he is fat because he absorbs less.
"Still smashed? I eat instant noodles, ham sausages and braised eggs with your master every day, and I dream of instant noodles chasing me! The fat man glanced at my master, and when he saw that my master was looking at him happily, he was immediately so frightened that he stopped talking and continued to eat.
"Master, why don't you take him out to eat." I don't really understand, these two are not poor people, and his father gave him 10,000 yuan to spare before the fat man came. Can't even afford a meal?
"In the last few days, it's good to show up less, you know." My master took a sip of porridge, then swallowed it, and then told me slowly.
I pointed in the direction of the mountain and nodded to Master.
The master snorted, which was a response, and continued to fight with the porridge. It wasn't until he finished drinking the porridge that he said to me: "We will celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve with you tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will pick up a few people, and then prepare for action." Then he pinched the fat man's face with his oily hand, and then said, "This little fat man should follow." ”
The fat man seems to be used to being bullied, and he dares to be angry and dare not speak. Actually, I also like to pinch the fat man's face and belly, but when I pinch him, he dares to resist, and my master doesn't dare to squeak at all.
I asked curiously, "Master, who are we going to pick up?" My uncles? ”
"You'll know when the time comes, why do you ask so much, you owe a beating." Master was full, leaning back in his chair, looking too lazy to take care of me.
"You dead old man, who gave you courage, Liang Jingru?" I don't respect this old man that my parents and the fat man respect, of course, only on the surface.
"Who Liang Jingru is, I don't know, I only know, it's the courage given to me by the Tao Te Ching a thousand times." My master looked at me with contempt.
Everything else is easy to speak, except for copying scriptures and practicing drawing symbols, saying as much as you want, and there is never room for reversal. A thousand times is a thousand times. I immediately confessed my mistake: "Master, I didn't say anything just now, and my brain was in a mess, but there are a lot of firecrackers to play with today." ”
"It's pretty much the same, where is it, going down to play?" Master's eyes lit up, this is my master, an unrestrained old urchin.
After dinner, the fat man and the master stayed, and my parents and I went to my grandmother's house and bought a lot of New Year's goods for my grandparents. Then sit for a while and go home. I don't know what the reason is, maybe the family is relatively small, when I was a child, I always came to deliver New Year's goods to my grandparents in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then went home for the New Year, and at six o'clock in the morning of the New Year, I came to my grandmother's house with my uncle, and then greeted the New Year next to each other.
"Grandparents, I can't greet the New Year tomorrow, let's give you an early New Year's greeting today!" I kowtowed to my grandparents three times.
"What's wrong with you, why can't you pay New Year's greetings?" My grandmother asked me with concern.
"My master is here, and tomorrow I may have to go with my master and have a mission." I replied truthfully, "My grandmother also knows about my master." After knowing that Master had revived me, my grandmother removed all the Buddha statues at home and replaced them with various Taoist gods and goddesses to worship.
"Follow your master well, and calculate it for grandma in the future." Grandma said with a smile.
We stayed at my grandmother's house until eleven o'clock, and then we went back, which was also something that could not be helped, after all, there were still two pigs waiting to eat at home.
Generally, Shandong here for the New Year, are in advance will make a lot of cooked food, such as croquettes, fried tofu, fried meat, crisp pot, etc., especially this crisp pot, should be a specialty here, with beef, pig's trotters, fish, ribs, etc. put together, plus tofu and vegetables stewed for 12 hours, the bones are crispy off and can be eaten, it is said that in the early years, because of poverty, there is no refrigerator, so you can only make a pot of hodgepodge for the New Year, put it in the yard to preserve, and put it out a little when you eat. Now you can buy groceries at any time, but the habit has been passed down.
The fat man has never eaten it, but the master has eaten it. Generally, you can eat frozen tofu and lotus root, and only eat large pieces of beef if you can't eat it. Obviously, the fat man doesn't know how to eat at all, so that he eats the first piece of tofu when the meat is about to burst, and then he regrets it, because the fragrance of all kinds of meat is integrated into the frozen tofu.
Master's craftsmanship is also not said, in the evening, I made a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my father. Eight hot and cold dishes and two soups, we happily ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together and watched the Spring Festival Gala. During the meal, I could see Master looking at me from time to time, with some apology in his eyes, and I thought that he blamed himself for taking me away and not being able to reunite with my parents often, but later I realized that I was wrong.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Master was like a child, shouting for firecrackers. But we prefer to play pranks, so we went to the balcony, and after making sure that there was no one in the courtyard on the first floor, we lit fireworks and threw them into the courtyard on the first floor. As for the consequences, I don't know, anyway, after throwing it and closing the window, we saw a big green light, and we didn't look down, so we went downstairs with a box of firecrackers.
That night was my last happy year. We played like crazy for a long time, tossing and turning until three o'clock in the night, and then went back to rest. The fat man slept in the same room with me, and the master slept on the sofa.
As soon as I was in a daze, Master woke me up and saw that it was past five o'clock.
"Let's go." Master whispered.
