Chapter 66
After a period of hot labor, the big and small things in the breeding garden were messed up. The two men who were busy looked at each other's equally busy and sweaty faces, and they couldn't help but laugh in unison.
On the way back to the courtyard, Liu Xiaoyu stepped on the snow and asked Liu Gensheng:
"Uncle, didn't you say that there was a meeting on the morning of the first day of the new year? I'd also like to see what your place has to offer for the New Year. ”
"Don't think about it this year, the snow on the Chinese New Year's Eve is not small, and in previous years, there was a gathering on the first day of the sunny new year." Liu Gensheng's words extinguished Liu Xiaoyu's hopes.
Liu Xiaoyu, who was hit, was a little disappointed, but after a while, he regained his spirits, and the quiet snow color of the pond made him a little impatient to experience the artistic conception of fishing alone in the cold river and snow.
Looking at the somewhat childish Liu Xiaoyu, Liu Gensheng shook his head with a smile, and then cooperated with the two of them to clean up the boat parked on the side of the dock that had been covered with snow.
When the boat was cleared, Liu Xiaoyu hurriedly ran back to the compound to take out the fishing equipment, and of course, digital cameras and video cameras were indispensable.
It's not tiring to see people doing things, and when Liu Xiaoyu really got on the boat, he found that he couldn't row at all. Under Liu Gensheng's guidance, he finally rowed the boat to the middle of the pond, took a deep breath, Liu Xiaoyu shook the fishing rod in his hand, and the hook that had been strung with bait crossed an arc in the air and fell into the pond with a pop.
It looks like a beautiful thing, but the reality is cruel, there is no way to settle down to fish in this weather, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't hold it after sitting on the boat for less than half an hour, and hurriedly rowed the boat back to the dock after a burst of random shooting.
When he arrived at the dock, Liu Xiaoyu immediately rushed ashore, dizzy, it was really uncomfortable to sit in the boat in this weather, and Liu Xiaoyu, who was still shaking the boat, was even more speechless when he was hit by reality.
The gray Liu Xiaoyu obediently returned to the compound, fortunately, although this trip to the pond did not fully understand the artistic conception of the ancients "fishing alone in the cold river and snow", but presumably the old man who could take a boat to fish in the river in colder weather than reality was also forced by reality, otherwise who would have nothing to do in the cold weather and find guilt there.
Back in the house, Liu Xiaoyu ignored him and smiled. Got busy for lunch. I won't be ready to cook for the New Year. I took out some of the dumplings that had moved from stock. But this time, I didn't cook it normally. This meal is eaten in a different way. Fry...
Fried dumplings. Also called potstickers. A type of dumpling made by frying it in oil and water. The skin is crispy and soft. Eating in your mouth is more delicious than boiled dumplings.
There are a lot of local dishes prepared in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Just take a little and it's enough to eat the ground. Of course. Those pots were stewed on the ground and the mutton continued to stew the first day. There are too many meals at home. Sometimes Liu Xiaoyu is very depressed. This Hanhan and Xiaohu are too edible. If it weren't for the fact that there were chickens and ducks in the space. Relying on the real compound to raise the land, those things are really not enough for them to eat the land.
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. There is an important activity. It is to go to the homes and neighbors of new friends to congratulate the New Year. Commonly known as New Year's greetings. Liu Xiaoyu has also settled in Liujia Village for a short time. I am also familiar with some villagers. Since there is such a custom in the village. Nor can he turn a blind eye. So the two of them finished lunch. Liu Gensheng accompanied Liu Xiaoyu to pay New Year's greetings.
Under the guidance of Uncle Gensheng. The first place to go is the house of the oldest person in the village. These two old men Liu Xiaoyu know each other. It's not just him. By the time we got to the ground, there were already a lot of people from the village.
This old man is ninety-eight years old. It is definitely the oldest and most senior in the village. According to the rules of the ancient times. This old man should be the head of this clan.
Anyway, his surname is Liu, and he is also related to this Liujia Village, so when Liu Xiaoyu walked into the hall and saw those large and small people kowtowing in front of the old man, when everyone kowtowed, Liu Xiaoyu walked away without saying a word, and said a whole sentence in his mouth: I wish the old man happiness is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan, and then he naturally knocked his head down.
Originally, Liu Xiaoyu's appearance had attracted the attention of the villagers in the lobby house, and everyone thought that the newly settled little Liu Zi was here to see, but he didn't expect that he actually kowtowed according to the customs of the village.
Liu Xiaoyu's behavior made those villagers stunned, and then everyone in the house was also happy. The old man sitting at the top smiled like a flower, looking at the atmosphere in the lobby room, Liu Xiaoyu estimated that after this head fell, it could be regarded as a real dissolution into Liujia Village.
When I came, under the guidance of Uncle Gensheng, I also prepared two gifts, which were not anything valuable, two big fiery carp more than a foot long, and there were some golden carp in the original space, but some were too eye-catching, so they were temporarily replaced with fiery carp. There are also two strawberries in the courtyard taken out of the space.
As for the tonic wine and tea in the space, Liu Xiaoyu still didn't want to attract too many people's attention and unnecessary trouble, so he didn't give it. This point was agreed by his uncle. Wealth is not exposed, good things are not revealed, and the older generation knows the reason.
At the end of the day, the huge red carp and red strawberries made the hall a little amazed. These things are nothing at all in Liu Xiaoyu's eyes, but they are very good things in the eyes of the villagers, not to mention that the strawberries are not easy to find for the New Year, the carp is still fiery red, and it is also a relatively rare thing in this year, the old man's family put the things away with a smile.
After kowtowing, the kowtowing little P children got a little red envelope, originally thought: Yes, but even Liu Xiaoyu received one, dizzy, which made him feel that he was of the same grade as those children, a little speechless and a little depressed.
Coming out of the hall, Liu Xiaoyu smiled at Liu Gensheng and said:
"Uncle, I got a red envelope for doing this."
"Hah... Take it, in the eyes of that old man, we are all juniors. Besides, your two baskets of strawberries are a lot of money, not to mention those two carp, which are absolutely rare.
Liu Gensheng said.
"Rare fart, uncle, do you want it, if you want it, I'll give you two tails." Liu Xiaoyu pouted and said.
"Huh... What do you want to do, it's much better to eat in your yard these days than to take carp. Liu Gensheng said with a smile.
"Huh... It's also a coincidence, a few years ago, people in the village came to the yard to buy fish, I found two red carp when I collected the net, I didn't know how there was this fish in the pond, anyway, I don't like to eat this fish, so I have been keeping it in the pond in the yard, and it happened to be used this time. Liu Xiaoyu said with a disguise.
"It's a good thing, this red carp was a good thing in the old days, it's a good sign." Liu Gensheng said.
"Hah. Yes, that's a good sign. Uncle, where are we going next? Walking on the way to the village, Liu Xiaoyu asked.
"Well, go to the village chief's house, if you want to develop in the future, this road must be taken. Let's go back and prepare something first, and then we'll go over, it's not far anyway. Liu Gensheng pointed.
The two of them went home all the way, and the things sent to the village chief couldn't be too bad, and they couldn't do it when they sent strawberries and fish, thinking about it, Liu Xiaoyu finally prepared two small cans of tea in the space, and the tonic wine was also inevitably poured into two wine bottles.
The things are good things, but the packaging is a little shabby, and Uncle Gensheng still feels a little inappropriate, but Liu Xiaoyu knows that Village Chief Liu understands that these things are good, so he doesn't care.
After taking the things, the two of them rushed to the village chief's house again, and when they arrived at the place, as expected, there were many people in the village chief's house, and Liu Xiaoyu felt that the people in the village were also quite smart these years. However, later he learned from Uncle Gensheng that it turned out that the village chief was the patriarch of the village before, and according to custom, the younger generations in the village did come to visit the New Year.
The village chief's family is not as particular as those big officials in the city, the two were allowed into the living room after entering the door, the village chief was sitting in the living room talking to the people who came to pay New Year's greetings, and when he saw Liu Xiaoyu and them walking in, the village chief Liu hurriedly got up and greeted him.
"Yo, Xiaoyu, why are you here?" The village chief said politely.
"Village Chief, Happy New Year, haven't I come to greet you for the New Year?" Liu Xiaoyu arched his hand and said.
Seeing the tea canister in Liu Xiaoyu's hand and the wine bottle in Liu Gensheng's hand next to him, Village Chief Liu's eyes flashed with a happy look.
"Happy New Year to you, Xiaoyu, come and sit down." The village chief hurriedly put Liu Xiaoyu on the sofa where he was sitting.
"Huh... Xu is not sincere and respectful, and forgets to smile. The funny Liu Xiaoyu said in a whisper and handed over the tea cans and wine bottles in his hands.
This Liujia Village is not big, and it is basically the family, and it doesn't take a while for someone to spread throughout the village, so the villagers who sat in the living room to pay New Year's greetings thought that Liu Xiaoyu would also send carp and strawberries this time, but they didn't expect to see the two cans of tea and two bottles of wine that were not very packaged at a glance.
These people thought to themselves, "Oh no, the carp he gave in the morning is now known to the whole village." Now he is sending these things that can't be put on the table, and now this kid can offend the village chief. ”
Before the thoughts in these people's hearts passed, they were stunned by the enthusiastic attitude of Village Chief Liu, watching their village chief carefully take the tea cans and wine bottles, everyone felt strange in their hearts, could it be that this inconspicuous thing is not a treasure?
At this time, the village chief's wife, who was busy in the kitchen outside, happened to enter the house, and when she saw the wine and tea in her husband's hand, her already happy face smiled like a flower. She hurriedly walked over and took the things from her husband's hand, and instead of putting them in the living room like the gifts given by others, she turned around and put them in the inner room.
Now the people in the room all understand, this inconspicuous thing is really a good thing for half a day, that sentence is good, people can't look good, the sea water can't fight, this good thing can't just look at the packaging.
