"Ming Nuan, I heard that I want to make dumplings tomorrow night." Na Chunlan said.

"Really? Is it minced meat? Li Xiaoyan asked excitedly.

"I don't know, but every year the leader accompanies us to make dumplings."

Ming Nuan said, so every year their family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner Huo Jianguo is not there, and I don't know which company Huo Jianguo will go to for the New Year this year, I really hope to come to them.

"When I was at home for the New Year, my mother led my sister-in-law every year, and my sister and I made dumplings together, but every year we made radish filling, and the last time I ate meat-filled dumplings for the New Year was the first year of my brother and my sister-in-law's marriage." Li Xiaoyan's voice was soft, and a little erratic, everyone knew that she was homesick.

The atmosphere in the dormitory is a little sad, and who doesn't want to be home.

"We Manchus celebrate the New Year, and we originally had to wear cheongsam on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but now many people don't wear it, and women can't go out until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

Na Chunlan is a Manchu, and she deliberately said the New Year's customs of her own nationality, just to divert everyone's attention.

"We still have to eat pots during the New Year, which symbolizes prosperity."

Slowly, everyone seemed to be less sad, and they all talked about interesting things about their New Year's celebration at home.

……

Zhao Hongping happily returned to the dormitory with a big burden.

Li Ming also came back with a burden soon after, and after the Chinese New Year, he was not in his hometown, but his family would still send all kinds of things.

"Open it up and take a look." Li Ming urged, and opened his burden as he spoke.

Zhao Hongping took out the contents of the same thing, and there were two more letters in the end, Zhao Hongping couldn't wait to open the letter that his sister gave him alone.

After reading it, Zhao Hongping found a cardboard box, and Li Ming also leaned over and asked, "This is what your sister prepared for you?"

"Uh-huh."

"Open it up." Li Ming urged.

The box contained a red silk scarf, Zhao Hongping looked at this thin little silk scarf, and had a feeling that he didn't know where to start.

"I think you've got a door this time." Li Ming patted Zhao Hongping excitedly and said.

"I think so." Zhao Hongping also felt that it was very good.

Wang Dahe jumped out of bed and asked, "Lao Zhao, what did your sister send you?" ”

"Come, take a look" Zhao Hongping brought the cardboard box containing the red silk scarf to Wang Dahe.

"What's this?" Wang Dahe looked left and right for a long time, but he didn't understand what it was, the key was that the silk scarf was folded inside, and he couldn't see the whole picture.

"This is a silk scarf, my sister said that the little girls now want such a red silk scarf, and it costs more than a dozen yuan a piece!" Zhao Hongping closed the box carefully, not daring to touch it with his hands, for fear that the calluses on his hands would hang on the silk.

"What!" Wang Dahe's eyes widened, "This, this silk scarf costs more than a dozen yuan." ”

It's no wonder that he was shocked, now their monthly allowance is only fourteen yuan and eight cents, and such a small silk scarf will cost them a month's salary.

"This silk scarf is so thin, it is all transparent, it is not warm at all, and it is not resistant to dirt." Wang Dahe thought of the headscarf brought by his old mother at home, and said, "It's not as good as my mother's blue turban!" ”

Hearing Wang Dahe's words, Zhao Hongping and Li Ming supported their foreheads at the same time, why should they listen to him?

……

"Come, look, this is a specialty of my hometown, this bottle is a drunken shrimp, this bottle is a drunken crab."

Wen Junzhu took out two glass bottles from the things sent from home and said.

Both bottles looked black inside.

"What are drunken shrimp and drunken crabs?" Li Xiaoyan asked.

In the dormitory, except for Gu Lijuan, Guan Lin and Ming Nuan, they all leaned over and asked Wen Junzhu curiously.

Gu Lijuan is because her hometown is not far from Wen Junzhu's hometown, so she has also eaten drunk shrimp and drunken crabs, Guan Lin because someone gave it to her grandfather before, and Ming Nuan because she had eaten it in her previous life.

"I've eaten shrimp and crabs, but I haven't really eaten these drunken shrimp and drunken crabs, and it's the first time I've heard of them." Na Chunlan put her eyes on the glass bottle and observed.

"What about the so-called drunken shrimp and drunken crabs?" Wen Junzhu deliberately pretended to be unfathomable and said slowly: "It's made by putting live shrimp and live crabs into the wine and putting some other ingredients." ”

After listening to Wen Junzhu's words, Zhao Zhenni was frightened, "Then, doesn't that mean that the Xia and the crabs in here are all alive." ”

"Hahahaha, haha, Nier, you're so funny." Gu Lijuan smiled after hearing Zhao Zhenni's words, "It's not water, it's wine, even if the shrimp and crabs can swim again, they will die inside." ”

Everyone laughed after hearing Gu Lijuan's words, and the fear of raw meat gradually faded.

"My mother's drunken shrimp and drunken crab are delicious, and our neighbors near our house have to call my mother over to help when they make them, so you can try them." Saying that, Wen Junzhu unscrewed the lid, and a smell with a fishy smell and wine smell wafted out, and the first smell was really uncomfortable, and everyone covered their noses one after another.

Ming Nuan took the lead in taking a shrimp from it and putting it in his mouth, chewing and swallowing with a look of enjoyment.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw Ming Nuan's expression, and then began to try, and they felt a little exciting at the first try, but the more they ate, the more they couldn't stop.

Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Ming Nuan quietly called Li Xiaoyan out.

"Squad leader, what do you call me?" Li Xiaoyan asked.

"Here's for you." Ming Nuan handed the clothes in his hand to Li Xiaoyan.

"What is this?" Li Xiaoyan stretched her clothes open, "Aren't these all your clothes?" ”

"Yes, it's all my clothes, but you see that I've grown taller again, and I can't wear these clothes, and you're going to send things to your house in a while, and I'm going to send them back to your sister to wear, you won't dislike these as old clothes, right?" After Ming Nuan finished speaking, she looked at Li Xiaoyan with an uneasy expression.

Of course, the uneasiness was pretended by Ming Nuan, after this period of contact with Li Xiaoyan, of course she knew that Li Xiaoyan would not be that kind of person, but she was worried that Li Xiaoyan would not accept these old clothes, so she deliberately said this.

It's the New Year, everyone has received things sent from home, except for her and Li Xiaoyan, Ming Nuan guessed that she didn't receive it, it is estimated that Huo Jianguo will send it to her, so it seems that Huo Jianguo is very likely to come to them this year, as for Li Xiaoyan, her family is rural, and it has been seen that the conditions at home are not very good, the recruits have taken two vacations in a row, they go out to play together, Li Xiaoyan is reluctant to spend a penny except for the fare, it is not difficult to think that she wants to save money and send it home.

"No, no, no, how can I dislike it, you look at these clothes are still good, there is not a patch, even if you can't wear it, take it home and put it away, don't you also have a sister, when your sister grows up, she can also wear it." Li Xiaoyan hurriedly refused.

"My sister is still young, when she grows up, she will definitely not be able to look at these clothes that have long been out of fashion, if she takes them home, she can only be cut by my mother and used as a nest for our little fox."

Of course, it won't become a nest for the little civets, and Chen Guiyun will give them to others when the time comes.

"Xiaoyan, you can take it, it's useless for me to keep it anyway, just let your sister wear a new dress for the New Year!" Seeing Li Xiaoyan's hesitation, Ming Nuan continued.

After hearing Ming Nuan's words, Li Xiaoyan remembered that her sister had never worn new clothes since she was a child, and she wore the rest of her clothes, so she took over these clothes, and said thank you to Ming Nuan from the bottom of her heart, and thought in her heart that she must do her best to be good to Ming Nuan in the future.
