Chapter 163

Although it was only half a month, it made her understand a lot of things. [Full text reading. If she could meet her uncle and aunt earlier, would she be able to do anything like Sister Zhaodi now?

Listening to my aunt's doting words, it was like holding a brazier in the winter, and it was so warm that people were reluctant to let go.

In the final analysis, the warm memory of time is all obtained from her aunt. I have never felt the tenderness and care of the side, so what my aunt brought made her engrave in her heart.

After eating, Lin Baozhu began to make bread dumplings with the eldest girl. Seeing that the eldest girl is young, she learns to work very quickly, especially after being praised by Lin Baozhu, she is even more like a little adult.

The custom of Peachtree Bay is to wrap dumplings for two or three days on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and then make meals for the whole New Year on the Chinese New Year's Eve. In the next few days, I was not allowed to work hard, saying that I would work at the beginning of the year, and I would work hard every day for the next year.

Although Lin Baozhu doesn't believe in those, but the so-called following the local customs, since he comes, he always has to pay attention to it. The backyard tea shop lives, and the two masters who take care of the tea garden on weekdays are naturally going home from work when they arrive at the New Year's Festival, and they get more than half a year's wages and dividends, and the two of them are also elated, and they can't wait to rush to their families for a while. So at this time, there are no other people, just her and the eldest girl, plus the old man Zhao and the Shi family, even if they make food, it is not too much effort.

After wrapping the dumplings, Lin Baozhu found a clean basket to cover and put it under the south wall to freeze, so that even if there was no refrigerator, those dumplings would not be broken for a while. After the busy peace, she called the eldest girl to guard the fire in the stove and began to soak her feet.

I don't know how much Lin Baozhu loves to enjoy, even if it is a simple foot soak, he can make tricks. Not only did they put ginger, but they also buried a few yams in the stove, and when they started soaking their feet, the sweet and delicious yam was just cooked.

The room was warm and warm, the flickering stove fire illuminated the stove room dimly but very warmly, and two figures, one large and one small, held the hot yam and ate it in small bites. Occasionally, Lin Baozhu also tells a small story in a soft voice.

When it was completely dark, the fire in the stove was slowly extinguished, and the hot water in the footbath became warm, Lin Baozhu wiped the feet of the eldest girl, and then buried the fire and went back to sleep together.

In the dark, the eldest girl nested in her uncle's arms, her face was red and fluttering, and she couldn't sleep with her eyes open, bright and full of happiness. When her aunt found out that she was making trouble quietly, the eldest girl was even more smiling with crooked eyebrows, where was there still half a point of stupidity when she first came?

Such a comfortable day with a long stream of water is really pleasant.

It was only in the middle of the night, when he woke up from his dream, that Lin Baozhu would be stunned to wonder why his man hadn't brought back the letter yet. Every time she can't think of the reason, she will secretly laugh at herself How stupid she is, from here to Beiling can not say more than half a month, if you send a letter, it will take more than a month to get to her own hands.

Anyway, whether it's the reason or not, at least it can make yourself feel at ease, and you don't have to think about it all the time.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang brought Zhaodi over early to help cook. Of course, when the sun rose, Lin Baozhu had to take the eldest girl to the private school and invite Old Man Zhao over.

After all, it's the New Year's Festival, so it's natural to get together to be lively.

With Xiu Niang's sister-in-law to help, plus Zhao Di and the big girl helped wash and chop vegetables, it was not yet time for the New Year's Festival dinner in the evening, and basically the dishes were all out of the pot. It was full of very hearty delicacies, and there were even a lot of extra ones, waiting to be set on the table these days.

Thinking that Zhao Di and the eldest girl were also busy with their work, so whenever Lin Baozhu made any rare snacks or snacks, he would first feed the two girls who were waiting to be fed like birds.

It was the first time that I felt such a lively New Year's Festival, or the first time I was willing to help the workers prepare the New Year's dinner, so the two girls also had a slow sense of accomplishment in their hearts. However, although they were proud, when they were praised by Lin Baozhu, the two of them still showed embarrassed expressions.

When it was time to get to the dinner table, Zhao Di pulled the big girl and said a lot of auspicious words, but the big girl didn't say much, and most of the time she nodded happily in agreement. Looking at the table of people, they also smiled and leaned back.

Old Man Zhao touched his beard and nodded again and again, sure enough, they are all innocent children, different from adults, every word they say is serious and sincere, with a child's unique voice and clarity, which makes people happy.

Seeing that the old man was also happy, Lin Baozhu dismantled the stage on the side, "Old man, Zhao Di and the eldest girl can be regarded as giving you a New Year's greeting, this New Year's red seal is indispensable." ”

Zhao Di and the eldest girl also looked at the old man happily, and then said auspicious words one after another.

It's also a shame that he has been in the village for a long time, and he was reminded by Mei Ying, the dog leftover mother who went to deliver food during the day, so the old man was really prepared. He laughed heartily twice, looked at the cramped Lin girl and said, "All of them all"

This sentence is really there, and it really is. Not only did Zhao Di and the eldest girl get a red seal, but even Lin Baozhu and the Shi family also got a big red seal.

The old man has no long things, and he doesn't value silver and copper coins, but in the end, he is an old gentleman who came from the capital and is valued by King Rui, and he still has some family background. Even if it is a red envelope, it will naturally not only give some silver money like the world.

Zhao Di and the eldest girl each got a string of silver beads, while Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang were gold strings, as for what Lin Baozhu received, it was a pure white jade pendant that people couldn't put down when they looked at it.

For jade, the ancients loved it. And although Lin Baozhu's research on jade is not deep, he also has some eyesight. At a glance, she knew that this Pisces jade pendant was worth a lot of money, but she was afraid that it could be worth Zhang Ji's current industrial shop.

She only glanced at it, and then hurriedly said to the old man: "The old man's New Year's red seal is too precious, and the girl deserves it."

But before she could say anything about refusal, the old man pretended to bluff a little unhappy, "Give it to you, you can take it, don't learn from those vain people who say something that you don't get." I say you're suitable, you're suitable. ”

Seeing that the old man had a temper, Lin Baozhu didn't dare to say anything at this juncture. Seeing that Lin Baozhu accepted it, the old man became happy again, and even drank two more glasses of wine for the first time today.

A lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the family sat around the table eating delicious meals. The old man and Shi Dayong drank a little wine, Zhao Di and the eldest girl got together to eat a small dessert specially made by her uncle, and Lin Baozhu and Zhang Xiuniang were also happily talking about this year's events.

There are feelings, bitterness, and happiness, but more than that, it is the expectation for the future.

After eating, Lin Baozhu brought out the candy melon seeds prepared in advance and the fried peanuts as snacks. By the way, I also took out the red envelope and gave it to Zhao Di and the eldest girl. It's okay to be idle, everyone is gossiping, even the old man Zhao, who doesn't like to talk about the past, also talked about all kinds of things in the capital for the first time, and it is not uncommon for everyone to be fascinated and drunk.

In a warm and warm atmosphere, the time soon came, and Shi Dayong took two little girls to set off firecrackers. But in a moment, every household outside was lively, and the sound of firecrackers came and went, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, for the past year to be happy and happy, but also for the arrival of the new year.

The roosters and dogs in the distance are also very lively, and the people who are close will also shout and bless each other.

Rao is already midnight, and even the oldest old man Zhao in the room is smiling and full of energy. It's been a long time since I've celebrated the New Year with anyone, and now it's lively, although I'm not used to it, but the taste is not bad.

The sound of firecrackers gradually fell, Lin Baozhu went to the stove room with Zhang Xiuniang to cook dumplings, and when Shi Dayong brought Zhao Di and the big girl back, she hurriedly shouted for the big guy to come into the house to eat dumplings.

"More old friends", so even if they are not hungry, the big guys will happily come over to eat a few bites. Because it is the dumplings of the New Year's Festival, the color head will naturally not be less, some are a penny copper coin, and there are also candy wrapped in the big girl's favorite, which means rich and auspicious sweet and sweet.

After eating dumplings, washing hands and faces simply, cleaning up the tables and chairs, Lin Baozhu arranged for everyone to rest. The courtyard of Zhang's house is large, and here in the front yard alone, there are east and west wings and three houses with large blue bricks and tiles in a row. So even if Old Man Zhao has one room, two daughters together, and the Shi family has two rooms in one room, it is enough.

The next morning, a few people got up and ate dumplings, the so-called delicious dumplings, so even if they didn't do anything to eat, a few people were happy to eat.

As soon as the house was tidied up, there were already people outside who came to visit the door to pay New Year's greetings. In fact, it stands to reason that Zhang Manchu should have gone to the village earlier to string people to pay New Year's greetings, and Lin Baozhu, the hostess, was entertaining guests at home.

But isn't this year special, it's a good thing to hoard that child, to protect the family and defend the country, in order to comfort Lin Baozhu's mind and not let her feel uncomfortable on the day of the family reunion. Therefore, a few women in the village discussed visiting the door earlier, and when they were free, they came over to chat with Lin Baozhu.

Because the Shi family has no relatives in the village, they don't have to go to the relatives to pay New Year's greetings, and they don't move anywhere in the Zhang family all day. During the period, because of the old man, Zhang Lizheng followed Liu Jincai, who came back from the county school, and some men with children in the village, all came to pay New Year's greetings and sent a lot of food products, which was really enthusiastic.

After working all day, by the end of the evening, Rao is Zhang Xiuniang felt sore. I don't have to work today, but there are a lot of people who can't stand it, and I have to add tea and pour water from time to time, and I have to clean the table where everyone has eaten snacks and the floor full of fruit peels.

Zhao Di and the eldest girl have also been playing for a long time, and when they saw that there was no work left, they fell asleep under the quilt. It's the first time, and I didn't bother Lin Baozhu to listen to the story.

After covering the quilts for the two girls, Lin Baozhu and Zhang Xiuniang looked at each other and smiled, and then looked and exited the house.
