In the end, the chicken stew with mushrooms was not eaten, because when she returned home, Lu Xiumei had already made lunch. In the evening, I had to go to my grandfather's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so lunch was relatively early, Li Dong pulled a few mouthfuls of egg fried rice, pinched the little girl's fleshy little face, and the mood finally improved a lot.

"Daguo, is the chicken stewed mushroom really that delicious?"

"That's still fake, big brother's cooking skills, when didn't you eat with a mouth full of oil."

The little girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva, stared at a pair of eager eyes, and muttered writhingly: "If you don't go to grandpa's house, you will occasionally eat chicken stewed mushrooms." ”

"Okay, don't think about it, the chicken stewed mushrooms can't run away, the eldest brother will make it for you at noon tomorrow, to ensure that the delicious tongue can swallow it." Li Dong assured.

"Big brother, little sister is right, I don't want to go to grandpa's house, I have to grab food, it's not interesting at all." The fourth Li He couldn't help but interject, in fact, the conditions of his grandfather's house are not good, and they are not as good as his own. In addition, there are many people who eat, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone grabs a pot of porridge.

"Yes, eldest brother, the third uncle always scolds us for eating white food, why do we still go?" The third Li Jing is not young, and he thinks more about dignity.

After listening to the brothers' complaints, Li Dong turned his head to his eldest sister Li Bing, hoping to hear her thoughts. Li Bing saw that everyone was looking at him, and knew that whether he was in favor or against, he had to give his own thoughts.

"Big brother, I think it's okay, I still have to go, after all, grandpa is so old, and we also have to consider Daddy's feelings, we can't make it difficult for both sides."

"But eldest sister, my father was cleaned out of the house, we have already separated, we usually go to see grandpa, there is no need to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together." The third Li Jing immediately retorted, it seems that this baby was not lightly injured.

"Okay, third child, dissipate your anger, what your eldest sister said makes a lot of sense. We can't be selfish and only think about ourselves, we are a family, and a family should understand and understand each other. Li Dong persuaded earnestly, but seeing that the third child was still full of unconvinced, it was obviously a failure to move with emotion.

"Don't worry, this time we will bring more New Year's gifts to the past, the third uncle and they should no longer gossip, and they are guaranteed to greet each other with a smile." Li Dong continued to persuade, this time it was a matter of reason, and the effect was not bad, and the third child finally put away his indignation.

Grandpa's house is located in the countryside, a bit far from the city, about three or four hours by car. Originally, A-Niang wanted Lu Ling to go with her, but she never wanted to, so she stayed at home to guard the door. The family had lunch, changed into new clothes and set off, and there was no shuttle bus any later.

The new clothes were made by Lu Xiumei with her eldest sister Li Bing, and it took more than a month to make them, although they were not as novel as the styles in the store, they fit very well. The men are all uniform light blue jackets, and Lu Xiumei and Li Bing wear traditional women's coats, a bit similar to the small suits in their previous lives, but without a collar. The little girl was dressed more cutely, wearing a red and green dress, and Lu Xiumei specially matched her with a pair of small leather shoes.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after two car transfers on the way, Li Dong's family finally came to his grandfather's house, a typical brick house, and a large courtyard with a wall in front of the door. The yard is the same as Li Dong's house, with some vegetables planted, but it is fenced off, and there are a few roosters hanging around next to it.

"Big brother, you're here, why are you bringing so many things, just come here." The person who came was the third uncle of the old three, who looked relatively old, but was actually thirty years old.

Although the third uncle said kind words, it could be seen from the expression on his face that his smile was aimed at all these years. In previous years, the economic conditions of the Li Dong family were not good, and the New Year's gift was only symbolic, and the third uncle did not have the enthusiasm he has now, and he didn't even want to look at it.

"Third child, is Dad okay?" Father Li asked as he walked, and Li Dong took his younger brothers and sisters to call "Third Uncle".

"Alas, it's still the same, I had a cold a few years ago, and it's finally in danger." The third uncle sighed, no matter how he said it, he was also his own father, and he still had this feeling.

"It's okay, third child, I'll leave it to you, I live far away, and I can't usually take care of it." Father Li said a little low.

"Boss, when did you arrive?" There was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to the third uncle in the house, this was the second uncle, two years older than the third uncle and three years younger than Li's father.

"Just arrived, by the way, can the sixth come back this year?"

The sixth uncle in Li's father's mouth is Li Dong's sixth uncle, the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle died when they were young, and they didn't even leave a photo. When the sixth uncle was young, he went out to work like Li's father, and settled in the capital the year before last and became someone's son-in-law.

"Don't mention that animal, he hasn't been back since he got married, and I wrote him a letter last time my father was sick, do you know how he replied? Let everyone treat him as if he is dead outside, and cut off all contact. You say that this is not annoying, I will never have this brother again. ”

It seems that the second uncle is indeed angry, and it has been a few months, and the anger has not subsided. Father Li was speechless when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say, after all, the age difference between him and the sixth brother was too big, and there was no intersection, and it was not like the second and third children who were the same mother.

"Dad, I've come to see you." Father Li stepped forward and held his father's hand, and he didn't know if he recognized himself.

"It's a pig's head, I remember, you're here." Grandpa said with difficulty, the pig's head is Li's father's nickname, and the rural people call it like this, and the cheap name is easy to feed.

"Yes, Daddy, come and see your grandchildren." Father Li pulled the children down in front of the bed, and everyone called "grandpa".

"Good boys, they're all good boys...... "After saying that, he fell asleep, and as he got older, his spirit became weaker and weaker.

Li's father left the bedroom with the children, and Lu Xiumei went to the kitchen to help, everyone is a daughter-in-law, and they can't just eat and not cook.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that your family has opened a vegetable seller, how is it, is the business okay?" The third daughter-in-law is a person who can't hide her words, and the sister-in-law couldn't help but ask as soon as she came in.

"Hongxia, who did you listen to?" Lu Xiumei asked curiously, you must know that this place is still very remote, and ordinary people can't go to the city once a year.

"What's this, it didn't come from your mother's family, and now we all know that your family has made a fortune." The third daughter-in-law said in a sour tone, it turns out that everyone is about the same, but suddenly the gap has widened, and it is normal to be difficult to accept it for a while.

As soon as Lu Xiumei heard it, she knew that it must have spread by A-Niang's show-off character. Her mother's house is not far from here, only two or three villages away, so it's no wonder that it spread here.

"Where is this, it's just a small shop, and it will make hard money a year, and it's still too early to get rich." Lu Xiumei said modestly, she still understands the truth that wealth is not exposed, and it seems that she will have a good talk with A-Niang when she returns to her parents' house the day after tomorrow.

"Sister-in-law, don't fool us, look at your dress, you must be making a lot of money." The second daughter-in-law also choked beside her.

"Well, I really didn't make much money, and you know that selling vegetables is not that easy. Don't say it, hurry up and cook, otherwise a few old men should be in a hurry. ”

Lu Xiumei didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and quickly changed the topic, otherwise the old bottom would be revealed.
