Chapter 176: New Year
After the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the new year is getting closer and closer.
People who have worked hard for a year begin to prepare all kinds of delicious and fun food.
Make a new dress for the children at home, buy a few New Year's pictures, and buy some firecrackers.
Every time they came back, the children enthusiastically gathered around and asked what they had bought.
Families are also busy preparing for the New Year, killing pigs, making tofu, cleaning, dismantling and washing bedding, lake walls, and steamed steamed buns.
The Xu family is almost the same process, but this year the family did not raise pigs, so the link of killing pigs was saved.
However, the second brigade killed twenty big fat pigs, and each family shared some meat.
In addition to rice, noodles, oil, peanuts, and sugar, each worker was given five catties of hairtail.
I don't know which brother unit the Forestry Bureau got this from, in exchange for wood.
Not to mention that many people have sharpened their heads and want to join the Forestry Bureau as a worker, which is true, this treatment is too good.
With these, the Xu family doesn't have to buy anything anymore.
Xu Shiyan took the time to follow Han Limin and the others to Tonghua and sell the bear bile and musk that they had beaten in the mountains before.
Then musk is more expensive than bear bile, that is, the weight is light, and it is sold for more than 3,000.
Xu Shiyan said that he only needed one-third, but Han Limin disagreed, and finally gave Xu Shiyan two-fifths.
After getting 1,300 yuan, Xu Shiyan had to go to the Tonghua Department Store to buy something for his family to take home.
Clothes, shoes, fabrics, and some daily necessities, anyway, if you look at the right one, buy it.
Some people need tickets, and they don't matter, and there are people who flip tickets outside the department store.
As long as you are willing to pay, you can get any ticket.
Finally, paddle a big bag home.
Xu Chenghou saw it, and he had to say it again, thinking that Xu Shiyan would not be able to live, and he would spend money indiscriminately.
What did Dad say, Xu Shiyan's ears were bursting with his ears, and he didn't go to his heart at all.
only threw the fabric to Xu Shiqin and Su Anying, and asked them to hurry up and make clothes.
This is not difficult, Xu Shiqin is responsible for cutting, and Su Anying is responsible for doing it.
Su Anying has learned a lot from her sister-in-law in the past six months, and the sewing machine is very difficult, so it is not a problem to sew clothes.
The two sisters-in-law cooperated, but they quickly made new clothes for the whole family.
It is said that if you have money or not, you can marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year, and there are many people who get married when they are close to the New Year.
Not to mention elsewhere, the second team is connected to several, Xu Shiyan is called to help and drink wine every day, and Su Anying is called away to help cook at every turn.
Fortunately, Zhou Guilan is still at home, and Xu Haiyuan can now eat chicken cakes and millet porridge.
's mother is not at home, and he is not looking for it, Su Anying can finally help with peace of mind.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Zhou Qingguo got married.
Speaking of which, Zhou Qingguo's daughter-in-law is also looking for a coincidence.
At the beginning of winter, Zhou Qingguo's mother Li fell and broke her arm.
Zhou Qingguo accompanied his mother to the hospital, and somehow, he looked at the doctor on duty in the hospital.
When Li's arm was healed and discharged from the hospital, Zhou Qingguo established a relationship with the other party.
Before, Zhou Changhe and Cheng Tian were worried about their son's daughter-in-law, and they were afraid that their son would not be able to look down on that and beat the bachelor.
I don't want Zhou Qingguo to find a good partner, have a job to earn a salary, and he looks pretty good.
Zhou Changhe was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he quickly found a matchmaker and went to the woman's house to propose.
As soon as the woman heard that Zhou Qingguo had returned from demobilization as a soldier and was working as a public security assistant in the commune, she also liked it.
So the two families found an opportunity to meet, got engaged directly, and then got married before the year.
Zhou Qingguo got married, and the Xu family came over to give gifts, help, and drink wedding wine, and it was lively until the evening, and then they went home.
This year is the 29th Chinese New Year's Eve, and the days can't help but pass, busy and unknowingly, the year has come to an end again.
After the separation, the sons can not come back to celebrate the New Year together.
So this year, only the old two and Xu Shiyan three, plus Xu Shixiang and Xu Shiqin, spent Chinese New Year's Eve together.
Although there are few people, the New Year's program cannot be left behind.
It is still to hang lanterns and paste couplets in the morning, eat reunion dinner in the afternoon, and make dumplings and keep the New Year in the evening.
After eating the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, the bell of the new year is ringing.
With the sound of the bell, Xu Shiyan and his wife held the child, Xu Shixiang and Xu Shiqin brothers and sisters, and everyone greeted their parents together.
"Dad, Mom, have a good New Year, I wish you two old people a long and healthy life, and good luck."
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were full of faces, and nodded again and again.
"Good, good, all good, all of you are all good. Be healthy and safe, as long as you are good, your parents are good. ”
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
The old couple couldn't say any gorgeous words, only a heart that loved their children.
"Come on, come on, bring my good grandson over, grandpa has a red envelope here."
Xu Chenghou took out the red paper bag from his arms and beckoned to Xu Haiyuan.
Xu Haiyuan, who has been more than nine and a half months, gets along very well with his grandfather these days.
As soon as he saw his grandfather beckoning, he twisted his body, trying to break free from his mother's arms and go to find his grandfather.
Su Anying couldn't hold her son, so she could only put him on the kang and let the child crawl.
Xu Haiyuan changed into a red satin placket jacket and black pants today, and Xu Shiqin also specially made a melon skin hat made of the same material as the cotton jacket.
Xu Haiyuan was originally white and chubby, wearing this set of clothes, he was more festive and beautiful than the doll in the New Year's painting.
took Xu Chenghou rarely, hugged his grandson and kissed him several times.
"Come, this is a red envelope given by grandpa, press the waist money, take it, don't lose it."
Xu Chenghou stuffed the red envelope into his grandson's hand and kissed his grandson's fleshy little hand.
Xu Haiyuan is so small, he naturally doesn't know what a red envelope is, but he just looks good at the red color, so he holds it in his hand and refuses to let go, and no one wants to give it.
Zhou Guilan also quickly took out a red envelope and stuffed it to her grandson.
The little clever ghost crawled to her grandmother's side, tilted her head, and kissed her grandmother, making Zhou Guilan happy, and the wrinkles on her face were a lot deeper.
In previous years, the old couple gave their grandchildren New Year's money, not much, two cents each.
So Xu Shiyan didn't care, and his son held the red envelope in his hand and crawled all over the kang.
In the past, the house was spread with kang mats.
The kang mat was made of reeds, with patterns on it, and it also grinded clothes, and one accidentally pierced his hands.
A few days ago, Xu Shiyan looked for Guo Shouye and asked for a lot of fiberboard from the fiberboard.
The front is painted and spread on the kang, and the middle seam is covered with a strip of cloth.
This thing is on the kang, slippery and slippery, but it is much stronger than the kang mat, and I am not afraid of wearing out Xu Haiyuan's pants, nor am I afraid of piercing his tender little hands.
It's Xu Haiyuan, who is still a little uncomfortable, the kang is too slippery, he doesn't have much difficulty getting up, and he always slips, which is also very interesting.
Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, and the family has nothing to do, so they can only eat melon seeds and drink tea and chat.
In the end, they were all sleepy, and Xu Shiyan and his wife simply took their son back to the Westinghouse to sleep.
