Chapter 22: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

Yan Jiecheng: "Uncle Yi's salary is more than ninety a month, and he can't spend it all for the two of his family, if he wants to help Qin Huairu, he can just borrow some money to the Jia family every month?" ”

"Who knows what your uncle thinks, maybe he is reluctant to spend money."

Yan Fugui said and picked up the teapot and took a sip.

"Wait for the next meeting, Uncle Yi is donating money to Qin Huairu, you can use the inverted room in the front yard to talk to him,"

"How?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Didn't Uncle Yi say that the Jia family was in difficulty? Then exchange the inverted seat room for money. That house is worth 200, and each of the six families in the middle courtyard can share more than 30 yuan, so there is no need to donate. ”

Yan Fugui: "But our family has no money, we still have a hundred years to Old Man Zhao."

"Give it one household at a time, and you can't pay it off in a year. After the New Year, we will have to work, and our family will not be short of the 200 yuan. ”

Yan Fugui: "It's okay, so that the three of you have a house." It would have been better if I had bought the upside-down house in the backyard as well. ”

"Don't think about the one in the backyard, the second uncle is not bad for money." After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yan Fugui to speak, and went back to the house to sleep.

In the next few days, the courtyard began to be cleaned, and every household was busy washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and cleaning the glass. Yan Lao's business has also moved to a new level, helping the neighbors in the compound to write Spring Festival couplets, every time he either gives some money or something, Lao Lao is not too little, and he is happy to take it. As long as he can get a little cheap, he is happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was goose feather snow in the sky.

"Dad~ This stove is filled with more briquettes, the temperature in this room is too low."

"This briquette doesn't cost money, huh? You just need to wear more, really. ”

"Why do you still need money to eat?" Without waiting for Yan Fugui to speak, he took a few briquettes from outside the house and put them in the stove.

The three mothers: "Our year is the richest year in these years, if only we were so rich in the future." ”

Yan Jiecheng: "It must be getting better day by day, and when the liberation is over, the family will only be better." ”

Lao Jia's house in the middle courtyard was also a group of people chatting around the table.

Deaf old lady: "Pillar, what are we going to eat at night?" ”

"How about braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed fish, potato vermicelli stew, stir-fried cabbage and dumplings stuffed with meat?" Silly Zhu said excitedly.

The deaf old lady swallowed: "Okay, as long as you have meat, I like to eat meat." ”

Uncle Yi: "Don't be hungry for the old lady here, go cook." ”

"Okay, I'll go," he said, leaving the house and coming to the kitchen with Qin Huairu.

Silly Zhu looked at the less than half a catty of meat in front of him, "Sister Qin, this meat is not enough, I'm taking two catties here, this braised pork and meat are not enough to eat." ”

"That's all there is left for this meat," Qin Huairu said with an embarrassed expression.

Silly Zhu looked confused: "Sister Qin, don't make trouble!" I also have five catties in your house alone, right? There's also an uncle. ”

"It's not a terrible panic, I want to eat meat, what do you think I can do." Tears are on the verge of talking as he speaks.

"So what to do now, what to do with the meal of these 10 people, just less than half a catty of meat. Even if you make dumplings, you can't see the diced meat."

Silly Zhu carried less than half a catty of meat strips and said speechlessly.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't speak, he put the meat aside and said, "Don't cook first, you bring the chicken, I'll stew the chicken first." ”

"The chicken and fish were also roasted and eaten by the sticks," Qin Huairu had an ugly expression on his face.

Silly Zhu couldn't help but scold the mother in his heart: "Sister Qin, then you say, what are we going to eat for this Chinese New Year's Eve?" There are only cabbage and potatoes left in our family and the uncle's house, and there is nothing in the old lady's house. ”

At this time, an old man came out of the house: "What are you arguing about here?" It's not time to cook yet, the old lady is hungry. ”

Silly Zhu took the meat strip in his hand and waved it at Uncle Yi: "What do you ask me to do with this bit of meat, that's the amount of 10 people,"

Uncle Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "Take out the 5 catties of meat I brought over the day before yesterday, don't keep it" Uncle Yi thought that this meat strip belonged to the Jia family.

Silly Zhu: "Don't talk about your five catties, my five catties are gone." ”

Uncle Yi: "Why is it gone?" ”

"You'll have to ask the terrier, not to mention the meat, the chickens and fish are gone. This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we have to eat boiled cabbage. You can't see diced meat when you eat dumplings. Silly Zhu said angrily.

The people in the house ran out when they heard the noise outside, and a group of people surrounded the stupid pillar and looked at the meat strips in the hands of the stupid pillar.

"What's going on?" said an aunt.

Silly Zhu: "What's the matter, we can't eat meat at night." ”

It took a long time for everyone to react,

He Yushui said: "What are we going to eat that night?" ”

Uncle Yi: "Let's make dumplings first, put more cabbage." I went to other people's houses to see if they had prepared more to borrow or buy. ”

Silly Zhu: "Xu Damao's family must have it, but he is not at home, go back to his parents, by the way, there are two hens that lay eggs in the third master's house." ”

"Then I'll go to Yan Fugui's house to have a look," he said and walked towards the front yard.

Lao Yan's family, Yan Fugui led the family to make dumplings, and the three mothers were stewing chicken. The first uncle pushed open the door and walked in: "His third uncle, I heard that you have two chickens at home?" ”

Yan Fugui: "Yes, keep the eggs." ”

"Don't keep it, sell it to me." Uncle Yi looked at the family in front of him and said with envy.

Yan Jiecheng: "Uncle Yi, if you want to raise chickens, why don't you just ask Qin Huairu to go to the countryside to buy you two?" Our chickens have to keep them to lay eggs! ”

"I don't raise chickens, I buy them to eat, this is not the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old lady wants to eat chickens, this is not now there is no place to buy ah, this is not stupid Zhu said that your family has two, so I came over."

Yan Fugui: "You go to someone else's house to take a look, I keep these two eggs!" It's hard to raise it so big. ”

Uncle Yi: "Otherwise, how much money do you pay when you buy it, can I pay twice?" ”

Yan Jiecheng: "Uncle Yi, I said, don't say that our family hacked you, I bought these two chickens for eight yuan and five, don't say that the vegetable market costs more than one piece, you go to the vegetable market to use a ticket, the vegetable market sells chickens that can't lay eggs, and our family is a hen that lays eggs." ”

Uncle Yi had a constipated expression on his face: "This doesn't lay eggs, it's not the same as a chicken." ”

"If you say that, we really can't sell this chicken to you, sell it to you, and you have to say that our family hacked you."

Uncle One: "Okay, I'll give you seventeen yuan." ”

Yan Fugui: "This is what you said, you can't get it back when you go out." ”

"Am I that person? You still can't trust me? ”

"Okay, Jiefang will bring the chicken to your uncle." Yan Fugui said with a smile on his face.

Yi Zhonghai gave the money to Yan Fugui, carried the chicken, and left without looking back.

"Dad~ Uncle I'm angry!"

Yan Fugui: "What is there for him to be angry about, we originally bought this chicken for eight yuan and five, but he had to give us twice the price, and we didn't force him to buy it." ”
