When saying goodbye and leaving, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao glanced at each other and looked at the antique courtyard - if the old man really wants to maintain it, it is estimated that he can't afford the repair and maintenance costs alone.

I don't know if the other party wants to get it back?

"How, like?"

Miao Lishan smiled and shook her head, "It's too expensive, my family of four has saved up for so many years to buy it." But the yard is so nice! ”

Mrs. Cheng laughed happily, patted her second daughter-in-law, and quipped, "Okay, don't tease her." Be careful, Shanshan is in a hurry to go back and grab it from you. ”

"Hahaha...... It's okay, she bought it and didn't have time to live there, just as I moved in. ”

The car passed slowly, and the street, which once occupied the mansions of the relatives of the former emperor, had lost its aura, but the historical background still reminded the world at all times.

returned to Cheng's house and sat down for a while, it was not early, and Zhou Xiaozheng was leaving with his family.

On the way, he was very strange about the loss on his wife's face: "Wasn't he happy just now?" ”

Miao Lishan glanced at him sadly, "It's distressing." ”

Zhou Jiao suddenly laughed.

"How about having our big yard?"

"It's different! I have three grandchildren. ”

"......" Zhou Xiaozheng was speechless. She has so many yards at home, and she can't satisfy her, do you have to let the children take her to see the miscellaneous yard?

Miao Lishan's wish was learned by the three Ping An brothers in another car after returning home.

What to do?

Then try to save money to buy a yard!

The question is, does his grandmother live here?

Zhou Jiao, who was on vacation, didn't have time to pay attention to her mother, and asked her to say that it was the consequence of being idle, so she wanted to take out all her skills and celebrate the New Year happily first.

In the morning, Zhou Jiao pulled her three sons and started cleaning.

First, use a new broom to thoroughly clean the roof, and the dust under the boxes, cabinets, and sofas, and then wipe the table, windows, and doors.

When she finally cleaned the inside and outside of the house, in front of the house, behind the house, and every corner of the house, she was going to be paralyzed from exhaustion. Fortunately, I don't have to bathe my three sons and shave my head now.

After relieving herself, she and Aunt Chen began to dismantle and wash the bedding, the clothes that were changed from the bath, the curtains, and so on. In the end, even the lid of the pot, the vegetable basket and anything did not escape her hands.

I was so tired that I went to bed early, and I didn't even know that Zhang Guoqing was massaging her.

The next morning, he and Aunt Chen began to get busy, busy steaming flower buns, steamed bean buns, sugar buns, and vegetable buns. These are wrapped with cornmeal and wheat flour, and a large pot full of cream steamed buns, crab roe xiaolongbao, and soup dumplings are also filled with pure white bread.

After two days in a row, even the dumplings with various fillings were wrapped in new tricks, and Chinese New Year's Eve'er was coming......

The past few days can be regarded as making the three Ping An brothers happy - they haven't seen their mother in real shape for several years, and they are even more looking forward to the upcoming Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Especially the big wine jar that has been stewed in the kitchen, just smelling the fragrance coming from it makes them forget, and they have long wanted to ask what kind of dish it is.

Zhou Jiao smiled mysteriously, "Want to know?" ”

The three brothers nodded their heads repeatedly.

"I just won't tell you!"

Zhang Guoqing, who had just returned from the army, hurriedly stepped forward to drive away the three stinky boys who were pestering his daughter-in-law, "We're all back, let's go set the table for the New Year's dinner." ”

Wait, wait, wait...... Now that it is finally revealed, the three brothers are like children howling happily: "Oh~ Great! ”

This year's reunion dinner is a little different from previous years, in order to celebrate the real sense of removing the old and welcoming the new, Zhou Jiao has almost prepared for two days, so everything is ready, just waiting for the family to arrive.

The dishes were served one after another, and a large table was filled. These dishes Zhou Jiao has put a lot of thought into them, including famous dishes from the east, west, north and south, and they basically come from space.

This year, every household bought firecrackers, and the firecrackers began on Chinese New Year's Eve, which coincided with the first day of the first lunar month, and the fireworks were dazzling.

Now that the political situation is clearer, people are full of hope for the future. So this Spring Festival is particularly lively, full of laughter and laughter.

And Zhou Jiao also reversed the low-key savings of previous years. This year, she made new clothes for everyone in the family, even Aunt Chen.

made a Mao suit and a woolen coat for Zhou Xiaozheng, and the clothes fit very well. After wearing it, the whole person looks younger, which makes those old comrades-in-arms envious, jealous, and hateful of him.

Zhang Guoqing is also wearing a Mao suit and a woolen coat. As soon as Weng and his son-in-law walked out, people secretly sighed that their father and son were nothing more than that.

The three Ping'an brothers are all wearing a black cashmere sweater with a sweetheart neckline, a pair of black trousers and a gray woolen coat, and a white shirt, which is very handsome.

Similarly, their mother and daughter are not inferior at all, the cashmere coat from the Miao family, wearing a high-necked white cashmere sweater and sheepskin boots, is also full of charm.

In fact, it's not just their families who are refreshed and energetic. The college entrance examination has resumed, and the issue of rehabilitation of many people has also been put on the agenda, and people have seen the hope of life, and their faces are full of smiles.

When Zhang Guoqing moved the big wine jar in the kitchen to the table and left a place for the jar, Zhou Jiao didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and stepped forward to open the lid of the jar.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Zhou Jiao smiled knowingly, opened the lotus leaf, and immediately the aroma of wine reached her nose, straight into her heart. The aroma of the wine is mixed with various aromas, and the fragrance is overflowing, and everyone is shocked when they smell it.

"Mom, what is this?"

"Guess!"

Miao Lishan smiled happily, "Ask your grandfather, he has eaten, and he said that this is a Buddha jumping over the wall." ”

"Ouch, this is the Buddha jumping over the wall. By the way, it is said in the ancient books and miscellaneous records. ”

Zhou Jiao served a bowl to everyone.

Everyone was very curious about this famous dish, and even Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing, a pair of Weng sons-in-law, couldn't refuse when they smelled the fragrance.

"Mom, you're so good, so delicious."

Zhou Xiaozheng listened and nodded: "I have eaten this dish at the state banquet before, but it is not as delicious as your mother's cooking." ”

"Dad, I should have put enough materials."

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head and was about to speak, but when he saw that the family was working hard except for their father and daughter, he immediately laughed angrily: "Eat quickly, there will be no soup left." ”

For a while, everyone didn't care about talking, looked up and smiled, and then continued to focus on the best food in front of them. There was not even a bit of soup left in the end of the dish.

After eating, Wuyi was still smacking his lips there and savoring, "If only I could eat it every day." ”

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile: "Silly son! Do you still eat it often? This is a dish that is rarely seen at state dinners, and is only served when entertaining very important guests. Not only are the raw materials of this dish very precious, but the production process is also very complicated, and your mother is tired from it. ”

"Mom, you will teach us three brothers in the future, and we will learn to do it for you every day."

Zhang Guoqing immediately nodded, "That's a good idea." ”

The sound of laughter, the sound of wine glasses colliding, the sound of chopsticks touching plates, one after another, beaming ears, eating a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve, saying auspicious words, the atmosphere is warm and sultry.
