After walking for a while, Qiao Mu looked back, but Boss Yang didn't follow, but his eyes seemed to be looking at this side.

Sending Susie home, the arbor told her to bolt them up, and then she went to the barn.

Susie was reading a book in the house, and it didn't take long to see Chen Changqing coming back with meat, and after a while, Zhao Tingting and Qiao Mu and they all came back.

Susie opened the door and went out, seeing that there was still quite a lot of meat.

"How many pounds is that?"

Zhao Tingting said excitedly: "Three catties of meat per person, this is the three of us, a lot." ”

More than ten catties of meat looked really a lot, and Qiao Mu took Yuan Gang's three catties of meat for him.

Susie followed into the kitchen, Zhao Tingting cut off a piece of meat and planned to keep it for dumplings, and left another piece to prepare for the next two days, and the rest was salted so that it would not be bad.

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and when she got up in the morning, Zhao Tingting boiled some paste with flour, and Zhu Zhicheng and Qiao Mu pasted the couplet on both sides of the door of the collective household.

After breakfast, Zhao Tingting began to chop meat, and Zhu Zhicheng kneaded the dough.

Susie chops cabbage next to her.

The minced meat was chopped, and several people gathered around the table to make dumplings.

Susie didn't know how to pack it at all, she followed Zhao Tingting's example, pinched it for a while, and wrapped it out with a four-like one.

Qiao Mu didn't either, he didn't rush to do it, he watched it on the side for a while and then started to wrap it.

The first one he wrapped was a little crooked, and the second dumpling arbor was wrapped in a similar shape, and Susie was very impressed by it.

The stove house was lively, and suddenly a half-sized son walked in, and Susie saw that it was Xu Jian, the youngest son of the second uncle's family.

Xu Jian said to Susie: "Sister Qian, grandma asked me to call you, go home for New Year's dinner." ”

Susie agreed, washed her hands, and followed Xu Jian to Xu's house.

Gui Province does not grow wheat, does not produce flour, and does not eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

When Susie went, there was a large round table in the hall, with a bowl of old hens in the center, a bowl of braised pork next to it, a pot of ham stewed mushrooms, a fried golden fish, and a few side dishes.

Xu Zhiqiang came out of the stove house with a plate of cabbage moss and counted the dishes on the table: "Mom, there are already ten dishes, they are perfect, no need to get them again." ”

The old lady agreed, and quickly untied her apron and came out.

Seeing the old lady Susie smiling, "Okay, okay, everyone is here, all on the table, Zhiqiang, you go to set off firecrackers, let's have New Year's dinner!" ”

Xu Zhiqiang took out a firecracker from the house and put it on the ground in the yard, then struck a match and lit the fuse.

The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, and a puff of smoke filled the air.

Everyone in the hall was on the table, the old lady and Xu Laohan sat at the top, and Susie was pulled by the old lady to sit next to her, a total of eight people, and the round table was full.

Xu Laohan stretched out his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat." Everyone's chopsticks reached out towards the center of the table.

Today is grandma's chef, the dishes taste very good, Susie ate two bowls of white rice, and ate until her stomach was round.

The old lady knew that Susie was going to go back to the collective household to have a New Year's dinner with the educated youth, and seeing that she had almost eaten, she took out a few red paper bags from her body, "Come on, come on, send New Year's money, one red envelope per person." ”

The old lady gave Susie one, and then Xu Hang and Xu Jian.

Susie smiled and said, "Thank you, grandparents." ”

Xu Hang Xu Jian also said: "Thank you, grandparents." ”

Xu Jian opened the red envelope on the spot, and then his face was full of surprise, there was a dollar wrapped in it.

One dollar is already a huge amount of money for Xu Jian, he was just about to cheer, a hand stretched out next to him and took the dollar, Chen Yun smiled at him and said, "Mom will keep it for you." ”

Xu Jian's face collapsed, and just as he was about to protest, Chen Yun looked at Xu Hang again, "Yours is also for your mother, and your mother will keep it for you." ”

Xu Hang shook his head while eating, "No, I'll keep it myself." ”

Chen Yun said unhappily: "This kid, such a big piece of money, don't lose it if you take it." ”

Xu Hang didn't give it anyway, he picked up the vegetables in his right hand and held his pocket tightly with his left hand.

The old lady sat down and watched, and did not speak.

Anyway, she gave the red envelope, and she didn't care who the money ended up in.

Xu Jian saw that only his own money had been confiscated, and his brother's was still there, so his heart was even more unbalanced, and he turned his head to Chen Yundao: "Mom, pay me back the money!" You told me to keep the money every year, but what about the money? Where have they gone? ”

Chen Yundao: "I have all the money saved, and I will marry you a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Xu Jian stretched out his hand towards Chen Yun, "I won't marry a daughter-in-law, the money will be returned to me!" ”

Xu Zhiqiang couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Xu Zhilin whispered: "Give it to him, the child will also go out to play during the New Year, and he can't have a penny on him." ”

Chen Yunzhen said, "It's not that I don't give it, when the New Year is keep, I will give them the New Year's money." ”

Xu Jian said unhappily: "You only give a dime every year, what is it enough for?" The ticket to the county seat costs two corners! ”

Chen Yundao: "You are too little for a dime?" ”

"You don't look at other people's children, some don't even have a penny."

Xu Jian was in a hurry, and said that he couldn't it, so he reached into his mother's pocket and took out the dollar just now.

After taking the money, Xu Jian didn't even eat, and ran out with his pockets covered.

Chen Yun was so angry that he turned his eyes to look at Xu Hang, who quickly stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and got up and ran.

"You two little bunnies—"

Before she finished speaking, the old lady coughed lightly at the top, "Don't scold the child during the New Year!" ”

Chen Yun had to shut up and say nothing.

Susie stood up, "Grandpa, I've finished eating, I'll go back to the collective household first." ”

The old lady was still a little reluctant, she felt that Susie should stay at home during the New Year, "Why don't you come to the house at night to keep the New Year?" ”

Susie smiled, "It's cold, I won't come." ”

At this time, Xu Zhiqiang glanced at Susie and stopped talking.

Susie came out of the house, Xu Zhiqiang also came out, and he whispered: "I, I'll take some food, can you bring it over to Yu Xuexing?" ”

Although the two had a quarrel the day before yesterday, Xu Zhiqiang couldn't bear it when he remembered Yu Xue being alone for the New Year.

Susie whispered: "Uncle, I can't handle this matter, or you should go by yourself." ”

She smiled at Xu Zhiqiang and raised her feet to leave, but Xu Zhiqiang stopped her again, "Wait! ”

Then Xu Zhiqiang also took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it to Susie, "New Year's money, take it." ”

Susie smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Back at the collective household, Susie found that the dumplings were all wrapped and neatly placed on the table, and a large fire was lit in the stove house, and everyone was sitting next to the fire.

Chen Changqing, Zhang Weidong, and Niu Jianguo were also there, and Yu Xue was also sitting there with her eyelids drooping.

Susie went in, got up, moved a chair and put it beside her, and the two sat down next to each other.

Yu Xue raised her eyelids and glanced at them, pouting.

Everyone was gossiping while roasting the fire, and at this time, Xu Zhiqiang's voice came from outside, "Yu Xue-"
