"I've seen it!" Kou Xi patted Huo An's arm: "I've seen it for you!"

She looked at Huo An gently: "You are so good and capable, her old man must be very pleased." Don't worry, she's protecting us from heaven!"

Li Cuilian's face was very ugly, what did these two people do mentioning that short-lived ghost during the New Year.

"Yes, Kou Xi is right. You're the most promising person in our family now, and your mother must be very pleased. Huo Dagui habitually tapped the plate with chopsticks: "Hurry up and eat, your eldest sister should come back in a while!"

There was nothing on the table, just a pot of rice porridge and a sticky bean bun covered with a curtain. A small pot of frozen cabbage, a bowl of egg and soybean paste, a plate of leftovers stir-fried in chili sauce and a spicy and crispy salted radish.

Because there was delicious food at noon, everyone didn't eat much.

"Today is the first day of junior high school, Huo An, I'll take you and Huo Lu to the neighbor's house in a while. After eating, Huo Dagui hiccuped. I couldn't help but take out a basket from the kang head, and skillfully twisted the dry tobacco shreds and rolled a cigarette roll.

After a while, the smell of hot smoke wafted through the room.

"I'm not going!" Huo An frowned: "I was supposed to go back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, but tomorrow is the day my aunt will return to her parents' house, and my sister will come back a day early." ”

Huo An's face was ugly, and he changed his title to Aunt Li Cuilian. This is to protest that Huo Dagui did not go to Luo's grave, and Li Cuilian was very angry when Huo An slapped her face in public.

"I'm going to greet you! It's cold and the road is slippery, and my brother-in-law doesn't know how to get this family back!" Huo An got up and was about to go out, and said to Kou Xi: "You should prepare early! Don't be too late, my sisters may not be able to eat in the morning." ”

Kou Xi nodded again and again, and went to the kitchen to cook obediently and meekly. Huo An went to the intersection that must enter the town, waiting for the arrival of Qian Ming and Huo Jiaojiao's family of four.

"Lao Huo!" Li Cuilian's tears of anger were about to come out, and she asked Huo Dagui in a low voice: "Look at it, look at it, your son doesn't even call his mother now." ”

"Hey, didn't I forget to go to the grave? The child is angry with me, don't take it to heart!" Huo Dagui lowered his head and said with a thin mud: "You don't know Huo An's temper yet, at most, he won't speak and pull him down." ”

Li Cuilian was annoyed: "If you don't go, why is he angry with me!"

"Oh, what are you really doing compared to that!" Huo Dagui disagreed with Huo An's attitude: "He is such a person, what do you do with him." If he was really unhappy, he wouldn't be able to let Kou Xi cook. ”

Huo Dagui was thinking about another thing in his heart: "This time the two of them went to Xinmen, I said that it was the same as Zhang Yao that year, did you hear it? I gave you money, didn't you buy me something?"

Li Cuilian patted her head: "Oh, I forgot to tell you." Didn't Huo An say that he wouldn't come back before! You said that Kou Xi was embarrassed to visit the new door alone, and people didn't laugh at our family. I thought about not buying it yet, who would have thought that he would come back yesterday without saying a word. During the Chinese New Year, the supply and marketing cooperatives don't go to work, where do you let me buy it?"

Huo Da gritted his teeth angrily: "You fart! Kou Xi said earlier that Huo An would have to go to Xinmen if he didn't come back." Why didn't you buy it earlier?"

Li Cuilian's eyes rolled, and she suddenly understood the meaning of Huo Dagui's words. Quite tacitly, he walked to the side of the kang and shouted at the kitchen behind: "Kou Xi is not sensible, and you are not sensible." Do relatives string up casually? The new daughter-in-law has to give money when she comes to the door for the New Year, but you have to give money justifiably. Huo An doesn't go home, why are you leading Kou Xi from house to house? Don't people laugh at you for thinking about money and going crazy. You really agreed, and I told you that I didn't agree either. Children don't understand, you adults don't understand what!"

"Okay, okay, you're just!" Huo Dagui waved his hand and yelled at the kitchen: "I'll just ask you, what do you say." Today, the two of them have to go back to my father-in-law's house, what do you want me to give to my in-laws?"

"There are chickens and ducks in the barn, and tofu at home. Today, Huo Jiaojiao can't come empty-handed, and when they leave, pick up the things sent by Huo Jiaojiao and give them to Lao Koubei. Li Cuilian was very upright and didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"What's the matter, I can let Huo An go empty-handed, what do you think of me. I'm telling you, I'd rather not eat it myself than let people poke me in the back!" Li Cuilian continued to the kitchen: "Besides, Kou Xi has always behaved very well since marrying into our family. I also treat her as my own daughter, and I can still let my daughter go home empty-handed?

Kou Xi rolled her eyes when she heard it in the kitchen, Li Cuilian would definitely not give up the opportunity when she said something beautiful.

Only say beautiful things, but never do a bright thing. This is her habit of dealing with the world, and it is not uncommon to send you two miles without giving a sip of water.

Kou Xi pursed his lips, acting as if he hadn't heard anything. Blanch the chicken, duck and goose ribs in a large pot and prepare these stews first. Then I was dealing with something else, and I was busy hearing a frolic in the yard.

Huo Jiaojiao's broad laughter floated in, and the door was opened, and a loud voice walked in with the master.

"Oh, Dad, Happy New Year!" Huo Jiaojiao didn't enter, and her voice had already informed everyone.

Then Kou Xi heard Qian Ming's voice, as well as the voice of Qian Dun'er and Qian Duoduo's brothers and sisters greeting the New Year.

"Hey, where's his aunt?" Li Cuilian looked left and right and didn't see Kou Xi, and couldn't help asking.

"The eldest sister is back!" Kou Xi stood at the door wearing an apron and looked at Huo Jiaojiao with a smile.

The first few bad experiences still lingered in Kou Xi's heart, and she was afraid that she would be scratched by the rampaging Huo Jiaojiao again. At this time, her relationship with Huo An was not stable, and she didn't believe that Huo An would stand by her side.

"What are you wearing?" Huo Jiaojiao beckoned to Kou Xi: "Come, come and talk for a while!"

Saying that, the rough big hand attached Kou Xi's hand, and pulled her into the house.

"Wait a minute, I'm cooking. Fry some hairtail fish for the children to eat in a while!" Kou Xi pushed Huo Jiaojiao's hand away: "It's a cold day, you guys are freezing this time." Hurry up and get on the kang to warm up!"

Huo Jiaojiao hurriedly politely said: "I'll cook with you, see what I can help!"

"Oh, that's not good, that's not good!" Kou Xi smiled and pressed Huo Jiaojiao to the side of the kang: "Grandma is a coquette, I should cook." Warm up first, and soon you will eat. ”

Huo Dagui is not a person who is good at expression, he took out the frozen pears that had melted overnight. It was packed in a small aluminum basin and placed in front of Qian Dun'er: "Grandson, eat a frozen pear!"

"I don't, I'm going to shoot it. My uncle said to take us out to set off the cannons!" Qian Dun'er is already the age of recruiting cats and dogs to run around the street, and he is unwilling to hide in the house to eat candy and watch TV.

Huo An stepped forward with a smile and took Qian Dun'er's hand and greeted Qian Duoduo: "Let's go, let's go to the artillery battle together." Your aunt sells a lot of cannonballs!"

Huo Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and she blurted out: "She sold it?"

Huo An nodded: "Well, my father-in-law sold it with her for a few days in the first year." Don't you know?"

Huo Jiaojiao's face was a little ugly, and she said perfunctorily: "No one told me, I knew that she sold some dried fish and noodles!"

Huo An didn't see his sister's strange expression, and led the children out to play.

Huo Jiaojiao turned her head and asked Huo Dagui: "Dad, have you made money selling noodles this winter?"

Gao Liman and Li Cuilian's faces immediately froze, and they looked at Huo Dagui vigilantly.

"I made some money, but it was just beginning. Kou Xi also said that it will be better after the spring!" Huo Dagui's face was full of hope, but this hope was hit by Huo Jiaojiao: "She said okay, is she so good?"

Huo Dagui was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Why are you talking?"

Huo Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and pointed at Qian Ming, who was sitting side by side with Song Jiangang, with her chin: "I don't believe you ask Qian Ming, we also made a lot of noodles at home." None of them were sold, they were all smashed. ”

Li Cuilian's eyes were so frightened: "What, smashed your hand?"
