Laughter and laughter rippled in the courtyard of the Zhu family, Bai Haitang and Wen Cuihua beckoned the women and a few little girls who didn't know who to serve the dishes back and forth, and each table had a pot of Lantern Festival and a pot of dumplings at this time, which must be eaten today. Most people in the Northeast eat dumplings on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and some eat Lantern Festival, because Lantern Festival means reunion and good luck.

Today's meals are no longer in accordance with the "rules", what is served first with cold dishes, then hot dishes, and what is the main food and soup at the end. Whatever is cooked, it is rice noodle meat for a while, it is a big peel for a while, Lantern Festival and dumplings for a while, braised pork and Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli for a while, I don't know who shouted why there is no sticky bean bun, and as a result, there is a pot of hot sticky bean buns on each table.

When he was eating sticky bean buns, there was a big pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, and even Mr. Cui ate it fiercely. The dumplings are filled with sauerkraut, which is Huzi's favorite, and he fills the big bowl with dumplings and eats them while standing.

Wen Cuihua knew Huzi's habit, walked over silently, and gave him a bowl of dumplings, Wen Cuihua looked at Huzi and continued to eat, and said: "Wait for the beginning of spring, find a few days that are not busy, and our family will also have a meal, don't forget." ”

Huzi nodded: "Hmm." I remember. If you want me to say, hold a wedding for Feng Ming, it will be lively. “

Wen Cuihua sighed and said, "Xiaofang's grandmother just passed away, and his father said that he wouldn't do it this year. I'm going to do it for your father. “

Hu Zi was happy: "As long as my father is willing, I have no opinion." “

Xiao Lizi stood in the middle of the table, holding a corn in one hand, and sang the two of them turning "Visiting the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month", singing and interacting with the people who eat, and the crowd was also driven, and some even stood up and sang along.

After Xiao Lizi finished singing, everyone asked him to sing, and he said, "Don't sing, I'm tired." You're all eating, and I'm hungry. ”

When Xiao Lizi sat down, everyone "bullied" him, what Xiao Lizi ate, someone pulled off the vegetables he sandwiched, and he shouted angrily: "Tian Shanhu, you don't care." Don't let people eat yet. “

Hu Zile leaned back and said: "Don't sing, you're a little tired." Tell me a story. "Huzi knows that he knows a lot of historical stories.

Xiao Lizi ate sauerkraut vermicelli in his mouth and said, "Uh-huh." Listen up, everyone. I'll just tell you a story. “

The scene was quiet, but Xiao Lizi was proud at this time, not in a hurry, slowly took a sip of wine, and put a piece of pot-wrapped meat, put it in his mouth, everyone watched him chew this piece of meat slowly, and Feng Ming was so angry that he stood up and shouted: "Tell me quickly, wait for me to beat you." ”

Some shouted, others laughed.

Xiao Lizi knocked on the table with chopsticks and said: "It is said that in the Song Dynasty, people at that time also liked to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When Wang Anshi was 20 years old, he went to Beijing to catch the exam and encountered the lanterns, which also fulfilled a good thing for him. Wang Anshi, do you know who it is? ”

Cui Wanshui stood up and said, "Who doesn't know Wang Anshi, it's half a mountain." A politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, he wanted to change the situation of poverty in the Northern Song Dynasty, and carried out a social reform, and the people who opposed him were much older, and later the emperor Song Shenzong, who supported him, died, and he was dismissed, and this change ended. I remember that Wang Anshi was 66 years old when he died. Right, Dad. ”

At this time, Xiao Li Zi remembered that Mr. Cui was still sitting at the main table. He shook his fist at Cui Wanshui and thanked him.

Huzi happened to be standing very close to the main table, and he asked, "Mr. Cui, isn't his change for the good of the people and the country?" Why did he dismiss him? ”

Unexpectedly, Huzi asked softly, everyone stopped talking, looking at Mr. Cui, maybe people thought of the current situation, maybe it was the people who rarely got together on weekdays to talk about the problems of such a distant dynasty.

Mr. Cui said: "To put it simply, if a person wants to do great things, he must have someone to support him, Wang Anshi implemented the reform, and the person who supported him was Emperor Song Shenzong." The country has no money, there are too many problems, it is necessary to correct the problem, Wang Anshi is the prime minister is going to promote this matter, of course, he will offend people, he is also too anxious, the officials are offended, and the people are not satisfied, how to say, do big things to know that the balance is good. Otherwise, quasi-rollover. ”

Feng Ming watched Xiao Lizi put the pot of sauerkraut vermicelli soup in front of him and ate it violently, and shouted, "Little Lizi, eat so much." Tell me about it. It's your turn. ”

Xiao Lizi smiled, wiped his mouth, and said: "In other words, on the day of the Lantern Festival, there is a custom of appreciating lanterns in various places. He wanted to enter Beijing to catch the exam, passing by a place, admiring the lanterns while walking, only to see a large family hanging a lantern at the door of the house, and a link hanging under the lamp to recruit relatives. It is written "Walk the horse, walk the horse, turn off the horse and stop". Wang Anshi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't answer, so he took it to heart. When he arrived in the capital, the chief examiner used the flying tiger flag fluttering in the wind to make a couplet, "Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Tiger Hiding in Flag". At this time, Wang Anshi suddenly thought of the couplet, and he immediately said, "Walk the horse, go the horse, turn off the light and stop", needless to say, the right is too perfect. The final title of the gold list, the entrance examination. On the way home, he deliberately went to the big family, and returned to the couplet from the examiner, and as a result, he was recruited as a son-in-law of Chenglong. You say that he is not a good fate, this clever thing has actually achieved Wang Anshi's two happy events. ”

The crowd applauded, and the scene was lively again.

Huzi saw that Hongyu and Xiaoyan walked to their room, Captain Liu followed behind, and walked to the door of the room, where Hongyu closed the door and blocked Captain Liu from the door. Captain Liu returned to Yang Huai and sat down, the two of them were talking, Dazhu lowered his head and ate the Lantern Festival and dumplings, and the position of Qiushuang was empty.

Huzi walked silently to the backyard, there were not many people in the backyard, and the second stunned man was moving something in the warehouse, and Huzi walked over.

Huzi said, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Chef Wan said to find two stools for the kitchen. Aunt Bai said that this warehouse has. Don't stand, help find it, you have a lot of things in your warehouse. The second stunned saw that it was Huzi and hurriedly said.

"Don't rummage, I know the two stools you mentioned. It's under the broken box," Huzi hurriedly helped to find it, and after a while, he found two wooden benches from the corner, and the two wooden benches were high at the base of his thighs, and the wood grain was beautiful.

The second stunned man fiddled with the stool and said, "At first glance, this is what Uncle Tian did, it's so beautiful." Just did these two? ”

Huzi: "Four, I used to use it all the time, and when I got married, my father made me four more with backrests, and these ones were put in the warehouse." ”

The second stunned man said, "If you don't need those two, you can give them to me." My dad likes this kind of stool, and he will be 60th birthday next month, and if I bring it back to him, he will be very happy. ”

Huzi said, "You give these two to Chef Wan first." I'll find the remaining two for you. ”

"Can you call the shots?"

Huzi smiled and said, "No." You just wait for the red jade to come to your house and ask for it back. “

The second stunned man also smiled and said, "I don't dare to say others, your red jade really can't." You keep looking. The second stunned man took two small stools and left.
