The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xinlan had something in her heart, so she got up early. Who knew that she got up on her front feet, and Fusheng got up later. Seeing him get up, Xinlan said: "It's still early, why don't you sleep more, I took a night car the day before yesterday, and I didn't rest yesterday?" ”

Fusheng said: "What are you doing so early?" ”

Xinlan said: "I'm thinking of going to our mother's side, isn't this Lu Nan over there, and I don't know how they will eat in the morning, I want to go over and have a look." ”

Fusheng said: "You don't have to worry about this!" You don't

our mom won't starve him! ”

Xinlan said: "I know, didn't I think that our mother and his health were not good, I have been going there all this time, and now there is another Lu Nan here, so I want to go over and explain." Thinking that there are still children at home, I didn't call you, don't worry, I'll be back in a while. Xinlan said and prepared to leave.

"What are you anxious about? I'm coming, do I need you to run again? I'll go! I'll bring some steamed buns when I come back in a while, and you happen to be cooking some thin soup at home. Fusheng saw that Xinlan was leaving, so he hurriedly stopped the road.

When Xinlan heard this, she said in her heart, too, so she said, "That's great!" Originally, I wanted you to come by car, and I wanted you to rest! That's good, but you'll have to make a trip. ”

"It's okay! It's okay to sit in a car overnight, but also to sleep all the way, and now the days are short and the nights are long, and the night will be relieved! Go ahead, I'll get there. Fusheng said, went to wash his face, and then went out, leaving Xinlan at home to cook.

In the early morning, the air is exceptionally cool after the snow and ice melt. Fusheng walked, and from time to time people who were jogging in the morning passed by. Seeing this, Fusheng unconsciously threw off his arms and strode up. He exercised all the way, first went to the breakfast stall to buy fried buns, and then came to his parents-in-law's house.

Older people sleep less, and the old couple is no exception, getting up early. After they finished washing, they were discussing whether to eat the dumplings brought back by Lu Nan or go out to buy fried buns, when Fusheng came.

Hearing the knock on the door, the old couple hurriedly let Fusheng in. When he saw the buns that Fusheng was holding, the old man said: "I haven't eaten any of the dumplings he brought last night, but you can buy the buns again!" ”

Fusheng smiled, put the bun in the kitchen, turned around and said, "I'm here if I don't come to Xinlan, you said that I don't worry about her running this morning!" After speaking, seeing that Lu Nan hadn't come out yet, he asked, "Lu Nan hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

The old man said, "Eh, don't talk about children! I've been running for two days and I'm tired, so let him sleep more. ”

"Well, I know, Dad, I mean that during this time, Xinlan ran alone at these two ends, this is not our coming, I just want to help the family or the store to see if there is any accumulated work, and I have done it for her, so that it is not time for the New Year soon, in case the business is too busy to take care of it, so I came to tell Lu Nan, let him get up early in the morning, see that there is work here and help to do it, don't just wait to eat ready-made, you said that my mother, you two are so old, and you will serve a young man? Just say him! Fusheng said.

The old man said: "I'll take care of it when you come to me, you don't have to worry about it, there are many things, you don't have to run back and forth in the morning, your mother and I can still move, and I will use you again on the day when I can't move." ”

"Look at what you say, Dad! This is all within my part, I didn't talk about it here before, but this is back, there are more people, and I should come over. Fusheng said.

"Okay, it's a good thing to be reunited! But you have a lot to do during this time, let's finish everything first, Lu Nan is here, and you don't have to rush over in the morning from a cloudy day! The old man said.

"Uh-hmm, Zhong, then you let Lu Nan get up early, don't let him sleep all the time!" Fusheng agreed, telling the old man.

"Got it! Let's go! The old man began to send it out.

When Fusheng saw it, he had to say goodbye to the old couple and go back. When they arrived at home, Xinlan had already boiled the soup and her two daughters had already gotten up. Seeing Fusheng come back, Xinlan asked about the situation, and the family began to eat. During the meal, Fusheng asked Xinlan about today's arrangement, Xinlan said: "I think so, our family is here, and there are more people, I told Liu Qin yesterday, let her rest for a day, let's go to the store to put the pallets, and wait for the cloudy day to let her and the two children stare at it, let's bring the goods back, so as not to get the New Year's Close, there are many purchases, and the price of the goods will rise again as soon as the goods are tight." ”

"Look, you see, I didn't understand it just now, you can do what you say, I'll help you do it!" Fusheng answered.

"In addition, I also want to buy more melon seeds and peanuts, and then pack a few more copies, part of it for our parents, Xinjun, Xinmei, part of it for the restaurant owner who I work at the station, and the owner of the restaurant on the corner of the street and the director surnamed Zhou who helped us move back, how much it means, that is, don't make people feel cold, people also help us do things, save people from saying that we have moved, there is no word, who will look up to us in the future!" Xinlan thought about it, as if talking to herself, and as if she was thoughtful, after speaking, she suddenly asked Fusheng: "Do you have any opinion on me doing this?" ”

Fusheng sat aside, eating and listening, he knew that Xinlan must have her reasons for being like this, he had heard Xinlan say that these people were all people who had helped his family. was eating, suddenly heard Xinlan ask, and hurriedly replied: "How can I have an opinion on this?" This is what we should do, in fact, I think we should express our gratitude the most is the old godmother you recognize, as well as Sun Wei and them, but they went to the south, we can't help it, otherwise we will have to go to see her old man first during the New Year's holiday. ”

"I know, I've been thinking about writing to ask them for a long time, but thinking that they have just passed, I want to wait two days late, and then write when they are settled. Xinlan Road.

"Yes, it should be!" Fusheng responded cheerfully.

And just like that, the matter was settled. After eating, the two left Xiaocun and Xiaohua at home, and the two came to the store, and began to stock up the goods while doing business.

The next day, it was the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the new year arrived. In the morning, Liu Qin led Xiaocun and Xiaohua sisters to guard the store; Xinlan and Fusheng were cleaning the kitchen at home and preparing for lunch while preparing for the afternoon purchase. When raising money, when talking about gossip, Xinlan mentioned the matter of Liuqin money again, and Fusheng couldn't help but praise it again.

After lunch, the two came to the Sanshuidao Wholesale Market with a plated list. Sure enough, as Xinlan expected, the market was bustling, people came and went, the noise of doing business was endless, and the front of every business was crowded with people. Seeing this situation, Xinlan didn't have the heart to turn any further, so she led Fusheng directly to Li Xing's shop. I saw that Li Xing's wife was opening a ticket here, and Li Xing was commanding his subordinates, and he was very busy. Li Xing saw Xinlan and greeted enthusiastically while busy. So Xinlan simply introduced Fusheng and Li Xing to each other, and then took out the purchase list. As soon as Li Xing saw it, he handed over the list in his hand to the people in the store to distribute the goods, and opened a ticket for Xinlan with his free hand. Approaching the end of the year, business is surprisingly good, Li Xing is invoicing while helping Xinlan to check the volume of goods. Xinlan was worried that the goods could not be received, so she asked Li Xing about the holiday and the opening date after the year. Li Xingdao: "The year before the closure of the twenty-eighth or ninth lunar calendar, the sixth day of the new year opened, your cinema business I know, basically the amount is fixed, the difference is not bad, the volume is slightly more than usual, because at the end of the year, every household will go to the market to buy a lot, and some people who watch movies will bring some out of their homes, so there is no need to prepare too much, just be able to pick it up, but also be prepared in case of shortage, if it is really missing, just come and make up for it, save the resurgence." ”

Hearing Li Xing say this, Xinlan's hanging heart was relaxed. According to Li Xing's idea, she added some amount appropriately, and added a total of what she planned to send to several families, opened some more, and then Li Xing sent it, and she and Fusheng went to make up for some shortages, bought some stove candy to eat at night, and when the goods were ready, she went to call a car, and told Fusheng to go back with the car to unload the goods, and then took the bus back to the store.

After this trip, it was the second half of the day. Thinking about the problem of family eating, Xinlan didn't dare to stay as soon as she arrived, and went home with Fusheng. Fusheng followed Xinlan closely, he was tall, he thought that this purchase was a very easy thing, but he didn't expect that after this moment, he felt more tired than working on the construction site. Ke Xinlan went home in a hurry, and he had to go.

The two hurried and arrived home after a while. After relieving, Xinlan began to be busy making dinner and baking stove cakes, and Fusheng was also busy helping on the side. Calming down, remembering the scene of walking back just now, Fusheng said: "Did you rush like this before?" How do I feel that this is more tiring than working on the construction site! ”

"It's always been like this! This purchase doesn't look like it's going to work, but it's all rushed to the legs, but I don't think you're used to it, and this work doesn't have to be tiring on the construction site. ”

"Hard to say!" After Fusheng finished speaking ambiguously, he slowed down and said: "It's true, Laba Sacrifice Stove, the New Year is coming, and it's time to celebrate the festival when you talk about it." At this time in previous years..."Fusheng said, suddenly paused again, and asked, "Do you know what we all ate seven or eight years ago?" ”

"Before?" Xinlan searched hard in her mind, but she couldn't think of anything, so she said: "Isn't that still shredded meat noodles and sacrificial stove cakes, and occasionally stove candy!" ”

Fusheng laughed and interrupted, "It was night, I said noon." ”

"Noon? Can't remember. ”

"Have you ever eaten the sweet rice of memories?!"

"Hey! After all, I have also eaten it for many years, just a big iron pot, stir a pot of thin sweet potato noodles that can no longer be thinned, and then put some frost in the sweet potato leaves, sprinkle some salt into it. Xinlan was awakened to her memory and couldn't help but get excited.

"Yes! That's it, the children drank more than the adults, but how did they know that the thin water with a little sweetness was not hungry, and they all drank it with a full stomach and a round waist. ”

"Yes, if it's delicious and hungry, how can it still be called a sweet meal? Now that I think about it, how can I forget my roots if I don't forget to dig wells? In combination with the current situation of our family, think about these people who help us, our family should eat bittersweet rice the most. ”

"Don't you want everyone to eat sweet rice too?"

When Xinlan heard this, she smiled, patted the face on her hand, and said, "Don't talk about it today, the key is that you ran all morning, so you will be exempted, but this does not mean that you will not be in the future, just wait!" Xinlan joked lightly.

It's been a long time since I've seen Xinlan so relaxed. Seeing this, Fusheng said: "Do you know, looking at the way you looked just now, I felt that this is what you used to be, think about it for so many years, moving back and moving over, it really made you suffer a lot of sins, I hope there will be no more such things in the future!" ”

"Never again, the children are older, we are getting old, it's time to enjoy some life, why do you still toss?"

The two were talking and doing, reminiscing about the past, looking forward to the future, and before they knew it, when the meal was ready, there was also the sound of firecrackers outside for the festival. Coincidentally, Lu Dong, Liu Qin and Xiao Cun Xiaohua sisters also returned home at this time, and the family suddenly became lively, eating stove candy and stove cakes. In the meantime, he talked about the bittersweet memories again. The whole family has eaten, so naturally there are endless topics to talk about. As for the taste at the moment, maybe only Xinlan can really experience it!
