February 4, 2000.

Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, it has snowed for three or four consecutive days, and it has become clearer.

Maybe God also thinks that today is not ordinary, and gives the big guy some face.

Early in the morning, Lu Changhua and Wang Yao's mobile phones rang non-stop.

It's all for them to pay New Year's greetings.

The leadership of the entire group called.

Lu Changhua also paid New Year's greetings to Shen Yang, who was far away in Harbin City.

He knew from his eldest brother that Shen Yang was not in Beining, but he still had to say that he wanted to pay a New Year's greeting to Shen Yang.

Sometimes you have to pretend to be a good person, and you don't have to say anything about it.

Shen Yang told the truth on the phone.

If you are not in Bac Ninh, you can do something in the province, so you will be exempted from paying New Year's greetings this year.

Inevitably, the leader will say that Lu Changhua can't mention it.

"Leader, then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, okay."

Like Liu Changshun and his wife who didn't go back in the willow weaving factory, Lu Changhua also called.

"Uncle Liu, New Year's greetings to you!"

"Ouch, thank you, thank you boss for giving me New Year's greetings!"

"Sister-in-law has arrived, right? Stay with us for a few more days and don't rush back! ”

"It's here, it's here."

Some time ago, the group has issued New Year's red envelopes to various units.

Because of the large number of foreign orders, the red envelopes are extraordinarily large.

This year, the employees are satisfied.

Although Uncle Liu's family did not return to Shandong, his daughter-in-law came with her child.

This can be regarded as a reunion.

What's more, the travel fee is still paid by the factory.

The Smurfs Drinks Company is close to Lu's house.

Lu Changhua and Wang Yao went to take a look.

I had a discussion with the factory director and employees.

Then he visited his own reservoir.

I didn't come back until noon.

According to the practice of previous years, Chinese New Year's Eve this Chinese New Year's Eve meal was eaten at Lu's family.

Other families don't have to prepare.

So all the old and young ran to the Lu family.

The women became the main force, and the men took the lead.

During the time of Lu Changhua's visit, they were already busy at home.

This year, Lao Lu made his move early.

He's going to make some "candy seeds".

This thing is a sweet dish made of noodles, which is a snack.

When Lu Changhua was a child, Lao Lu did it a few times.

Later, Lao Lu was troublesome and didn't do it for many years.

The method is a bit similar to fried fritters.

Make the dough embryo first.

Wake up the dough and roll it out into a large piece of thin dough.

Cut into long strips with a knife, and then change the knife into diamond-shaped blocks.

Heat the oil and fry until the diamond-shaped pieces are blistering and golden brown.

Remove from pan and drain oil.

Put the fried diamond-shaped fruit in a basin and sprinkle with sugar while it is hot.

Once cooled, it is ready to serve.

When I was a child, my family was poor.

I couldn't afford candy, so my dad made such "candy seeds".

The two boys of the Lu family eat this to satisfy their hunger.

During the Chinese New Year at home, six children came at once, and Lao Lu also picked up the "candy" craft that he had not made for many years.

Three large pots were fried in advance.

If it was put aside, Lu Changzhong and Lu Changhua would be able to eat two large pots in one Spring Festival.

But now that I took it out, the children didn't like it after eating a few pieces.

The four of them are okay with glutinous rice, and they can eat as much as they want.

But his eldest grandson Lu Shengwen and granddaughter Lu Shengqing don't like to eat very much.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Lao Lu handed the candy to the child.

"Grandpa, I don't want to eat."

Sheng Wen's expression was painfully shirked.

"Then you eat!"

Lao Lu turned to hand the basin to Sheng Qing.

"Grandpa, I'm so tired."

Sheng Qing spoke his mind.

Lao Lu was stunned and held the basin, not feeling good in his heart.

In the past, the sons liked candy, why didn't the grandchildren like it?

He felt a little hurt in his heart, sour.

"Grandpa, grandpa, give me food."

Sheng Yu panted and ran into the kitchen from outside, reached out and grabbed a handful in the basin, turned around and ran out again.

The effort was not big, and Zhao Yahule also ran in.

"Grandpa, grandpa."

The children grabbed a handful of them and chased them out with a grin.

Sheng Wen Sheng Qing saw that they all grabbed a handful, and also took a few.

"Grandpa, let's go play."

"Hey."

The two of them also ran out with a thunderbolt.

Seeing that the children had finally eaten, Lao Lu still smiled.

"Dad, I'm back."

Lu Changhua took Wang Yao into the kitchen.

"It's good to be back."

Lao Lu was very satisfied when he saw that his son and daughter-in-law were back.

"Oh, Dad, you're frying candy again?"

"Yes, there are a lot of children, eating and playing."

Old Lu said with a smile.

"Daughter-in-law, come, you can taste it."

Lu Changhua pulled Wang Yao, took a candy from the basin and handed it to her.

"When we were kids, we loved to eat this, it was delicious!"

"Really? Then I'll try it too. ”

Wang Yao put the fruit in her mouth and took a light bite, it was very crispy and had a sweet taste.

"Well, it's delicious."

Wang Yao smiled at Lao Lu and praised.

"Dad, our family can't starve to death with your craft."

Lu Changhua also took one and said while eating.

"What are you talking about?! Pure tiger spirit! ”

Lu's mother was making dumplings with a group of old ladies, and she was unhappy when she heard her son's words.

Wang Yao also looked at her husband whitely.

"Good, good. I'm afraid I'm wrong. ”

Lu Changhua hurriedly begged for mercy.

The sister-in-law who came from the living room said with a smile: "Dad, you can open a restaurant with this skill." ”

She also took one in the basin.

That's true. We relied on this as a snack when we were kids! ”

Lu Changzhong said after him.

"Big brother, do you remember when you were a child? We want to eat candy, but we don't have it at home, so our dad will do this. ”

When Lu Changhua mentioned this, he was really emotional.

"Why don't you remember?! That's it. ”

Lu Changzhong saw that his younger brother mentioned this, and he also reached out and grabbed it.

Put it in your mouth and eat it.

"Dad, your craftsmanship has not diminished back then, and it still tastes like that. Well, fragrant, sweet. ”

Lu Changzhong ate all the candy in his hand and grabbed another handful.

Lu Changhua saw that his eldest brother's eyes were a little red, and he knew that it might touch his heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan grabbed it again.

"Dad, it wasn't easy to raise children back then, right?"

Zhao Yan changed the subject.

"Not really."

Lao Lu saw that the big guys loved to eat the candy he made, and his mood immediately improved.

"Come, taste it too."

He carried the basin to the crowd of dumplings.

Big guy, you grabbed me one by one.

"Don't talk about that time, it's not easy now?!"

Aunt Han continued to chat.

Several other old ladies also chattered about the difficulty of raising children.

"Brother-in-law, give me some, I'll taste it too."

Wang Lu, who ran from the living room, put his hands on Lu Changhua's shoulders and begged him.

"Take it yourself!"

Lu Changhua didn't have any tricks for this sister-in-law who had just returned from abroad.

"You've eaten bread, and you still like our candy?"

Lu Changhua teased.

"Oh, you'll give it to her."

Wang Yao saw that her sister was tired of her husband and kicked him.

Lu Changhua stuffed the only one left in his hand into the mouth of the sister-in-law behind him.

Wang Lu chewed and purred something.

Inarticulate.

"Talk before you finish eating, be careful of choking!"

Wang Yao glanced at her sister.

Wang Lu came over and hugged her sister, shouting, "It's delicious, let's have another piece." ”

Old Lu handed the basin to his son.

"Eat, there's a pot here!"

Lu Changhua said to Wang Lu with a basin.

"Sister, look at him, what is your attitude towards me?!"

"You're okay, your brother-in-law is not good to you?!"

Wang Yao took a candy from the basin and stuffed it into her sister's mouth.

Wang Lu smiled smugly, pulled her sister out, and her mouth was still grunting.

"Help, help."

Lu Changhua didn't care about the two sisters, and went to cover the curtain as soon as he said hello.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law also reached out and brought the curtain full of dumplings to the courtyard.

Seven or eight curtains were placed on the wooden stacks in the courtyard.

Uncle Han's big raccoon cat was walking around by the curtain, waiting for an opportunity.

Lu Changhua set up the curtain, pointed to a curtain next to him and said, "Big brother, look, these dumplings have been eaten by the big civet cat." ”

"Just gnaw it, it can't nibble on a few."

The eldest brother is very Buddhist.

Zhao Yan said, "How can it be done? It's hard to pack! Go, go, go. ”

Zhao Yan pulled the tanuki cat and ran straight on the wooden stack.

The sky was clear, but the northwest wind was still howling.

"Hey, it's too cold, get inside."

When the three of them saw that the tanuki was gone, they turned around and went back to the house.

On the road outside the courtyard, children danced and laughed.

Lu Changhua glanced at them and saw that they were all blushing and running around on the snow, looking tireless at all.

】

The youngest Sheng Yu was still following Nuomi and Hu Le's buttocks, like a little follower.

This year, the sticky bean buns at home were not steamed.

It's not that it's too late, it's that it's not steaming.

Previously, the conditions were not good.

Eating dumplings is a luxury, and poor families can only afford sticky bean buns during the Chinese New Year.

Later, it was passed down and became a custom.

In fact, it is poor.

A few years ago, the Lu family also steamed for the New Year.

Later, the children were reluctant to eat it.

Sticky bean buns eat too much heartburn.

It's just that it's hard to digest.

So, discuss it with everyone and simply don't steam.

Let's make dumplings and eat them.

The Lu family can be said to be self-sufficient in making dumplings.

The pigs are self-raised, the noodles are produced in their own flour mills, and even the wheat is grown by themselves.

If Lao Lu hadn't wanted to surprise the children, he probably wouldn't even have candy.

What's not in the current market?

As long as you have money, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, milk, rice, there is no shortage of everything.

In the past, I used to eat pasta, and I couldn't eat rice at all.

Right now?

There is rice.

As soon as they entered the house, the children rushed in again.

"Grandpa, grandpa, where's Candy?"

Seeing that the children still wanted to eat after eating, Lao Lu came to the spirit.

"And here's it!"

He greeted him with a plate.

None of the six children were left behind, each grabbed a handful, and then turned around and went out with a grin.

It's as if there's something waiting for them outside the door.

Looking at the child who ran out again, Lao Lu couldn't close his mouth with joy.

The candy seeds made by myself are not only liked by the sons, but also by the grandchildren!

Hehe, content.

"Old Lu, come, come, come, don't be busy, three are missing one!"

The old beard came running with his beard pouted and pulled him to the living room.

"Wait."

Lao Lu put down the fruit pot, took off his waist, rubbed his hands and followed.
