Chapter 727: Have a Year of Reunion
The son and daughter-in-law all came back for the New Year, and the happiest was Xu Chenghou and his wife.
Fortunately, there is nothing lacking at home, and the chicken, duck and fish are very well prepared.
So, on the twenty-ninth day, Zhou Guilan led her daughters-in-law and began to cook all kinds of delicious food.
The big steamed bun Zhou Guilan has already been steamed, so only two more pots of jujube steamed buns are needed.
A few days ago, Su Anying was still selling goods in Yangcheng, and Zhou Guilan didn't know when her daughter-in-law would come back.
I'm afraid that I won't have time to prepare anything when the year comes, so I started steaming steamed buns in advance.
I steamed several pots, but they were all frozen in the vat outside.
There is also meat, the pig that was killed yesterday, Xu Shiyan's unit, relatives and friends gave it, and there is all the meat at home.
So they all turned out, and the pork knuckles, pig's trotters, and large pieces of pork belly were all thrown into the pot.
Everything that should be fried over there has been prepared in advance.
On the morning of the thirtieth day, Xu Shi'an led his daughter-in-law and son back with a lot of vegetables, and the family was even more lively.
Now this work of sticking pairs does not need Xu Shiyan and them to do it, Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao led their younger brothers to do it all.
There were several boys, some carrying rice sticks and brushes on the pillars of the gate, some holding couplets and pasting them up, and some watching from a distance as they were just and wrong.
"Big brother, it's two centimeters up from there, yes, yes, hey, that's it, okay."
Xu Haiyuan is the one who stands in the distance to see if it is just or not, under his command, the brother pasted the couplet a few weeks and weeks, and then pasted it to the door god, hung money, and went out to see the joy.
After that, the children also pasted pairs on the door, barn, chicken coop, and other places.
Then, it's the word Fu, on the window, on the door, on the water tank, anyway, where you can catch it.
After posting it here, I put Xu Shiyan's house on it, and then the children set off the guns while walking, and came back happily.
Xu Shixian led his younger brothers to erect lantern poles and crack firewood in the courtyard.
Usually, the firewood at home is Xu Chenghou, and in order to celebrate the New Year, he prepared a lot in advance.
But the New Year's crackling firewood and hugging firewood have all meanings.
Besides, Xu Shixian and they haven't come back for several years to do any work for the family, this year the brothers have discussed it, give more firewood to my father and mother, and my father can save some energy.
When these people used to be in big houses, they would go up to the mountains to graze trees and cut wood in the winter, and this little work naturally did not bother them.
The brothers took axes and cracked firewood all morning, filling the woodshed with firewood.
In the kitchen, Su Anying led Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu to fry and fry all kinds of busy work, Zhou Guilan wanted to come over and take a look, but she was directly driven away.
Just a reunion dinner, there are five of them, and the children help, how can they use their mother-in-law to do it?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the reunion dinner was served.
This big family, more than 20 people, the kang table is small, and it is a little difficult to sit open, so I took the kang table of Xu Shiyan's family and put the two tables together.
Chu Xuanhuai and Xu Chenghou led the children to eat on the kang. The five brothers of Xu Shixian led their daughter-in-law to the table on the ground.
This reunion dinner is much more sumptuous than the pig-killing dish that day.
Don't mention chicken, duck and fish, it's normal to have these in the New Year.
The point is, there are several kinds of greens on the table, which are all rare.
There are more than a dozen dishes, and the dishes that come from the back can only be stacked on other plates, which is full of a large table, and it is gluttonous to watch.
The old rule is that you must take a family photo for the New Year.
So the big guys came into the house, sitting, standing, squatting, all arranged.
Then Xu Shiyan timed the camera, the flash turned on, and there was a click, which just kept the smiles on everyone's faces.
After taking a family portrait, the big guys sat down, and Xu Shiyan took several photos with his camera.
Especially on the table on the kang, Xu Shiyan specially took a few more photos for his parents and children.
The children's faces were filled with happy smiles, and the Chinese New Year was the happiest moment for the children.
"Third child, hurry up to dinner, don't fiddle with your camera."
As soon as Xue Xiulin saw Xu Shiyan patronizing and taking pictures of the children, she hurriedly called him.
"Just like your big brother, it's not over with the camera."
Xu Shixian also bought a camera last year, hey, it's rare.
On Sundays, if you have nothing to do, you will go to Beishan or Xijiang or something, and you will take a picture of a flower or a cloud.
Xue Xiulin said, this is like a demon.
Xu Shiyan glanced at Xu Shixian, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and then Xu Shiyan put the camera in the cabinet and came over to sit down to eat.
When the Xu family rarely had a big family to celebrate the New Year together, the old couple was obviously very happy, and Xu Chenghou had to drink two sips.
There is wine at home, and there is all good wine, most of which were given to Xu Shiyan by friends, and Xu Shiyan usually doesn't drink it, so he put it all away.
It's the New Year, don't care about those, find a few bottles of Moutai, and pour a glass for Chu Xuanhuai and Xu Chenghou.
"Dad, Master, it's not that I won't give you something to drink, drink less when you're older.
This wine is said to be used for state banquets? Anyway, people say this is very good, what kind of aging? I don't understand either, let's try it. ”
This was specially given to Xu Shiyan by Zheng Yuyang a while ago, and there were only two boxes in total.
Xu Shiyan knew the value of this thing, so he didn't want to move it, so he put it all away.
If it weren't for today's New Year, and there was still a big family, he wouldn't be willing to take it out and drink it.
Chu Xuanhuai picked up the wine glass, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and nodded.
"Well, it's a good thing."
The people in this room counted Chu Lao as the most knowledgeable.
People have never seen anything in their lives, and Moutai is not a rare thing in other people's places. So as soon as the old man smelled it, he knew what the wine was like.
Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard it, "It has to be my master, I have knowledge, and I don't understand anything when people give it to me."
Anyway, I just put it there, and I didn't want to drink it. ”
"Big brother, second brother, fourth and fifth, let's do some too.
That, for the New Year, we don't want to drink too much, let's just drink well, just taste it slowly, let's also taste what this wine tastes like. ”
Xu Shiyan smiled and poured a few of his brothers.
What to say, when this wine was cheap in the past, the big guys were also poor, and no one was willing to spend seven or eight yuan to buy a bottle of wine and drink it.
Now that I have money, this wine is also expensive, and it doesn't seem to be easy to buy.
Waiting for more than one teenager, it is absolutely amazing to be able to buy it, and it is estimated that few people are willing to drink it, and they all keep it for collection.
In two lifetimes, Xu Shiyan also drank Moutai for the first time.
In the era when he was reborn, this thing was about to be lifted to the sky, and if you want to buy it, it is not something that can be bought with money.
Even if you pay a lot of money to buy it, it's not necessarily true.
Zheng Yuyang said that he had an acquaintance in Guizhou Province, and asked someone to get this wine for Xu Shiyan, so that Xu Shiyan could keep it for the New Year.
also said that if Xu Shiyan drinks well, wait for the opportunity to get a few more boxes for Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan, why is it so troublesome? After calling to thank Zheng Yuyang, he tactfully expressed that he didn't want to cause trouble to others.
