There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao walked around behind the grandfather, looked at the village, and looked for childhood memories.

This rhythm is more festive than the New Year in the previous life.

The people walking around the streets and alleys, the shouting children and the sound of firecrackers from time to time are much stronger than the cats watching TV and playing with their mobile phones at home in their previous lives.

Although you are poor and can't eat enough, at least you don't have to go to work as soon as you wake up, and you don't have to calculate when your credit card will be repaid, and when your mortgage and car loan will expire.

Here, the pressure in my head is really not as great as in the future.

At nightfall, a bonfire was lit on the threshing floor of the village, where all the men, women, and children of all ages were making noise, playing, and laughing.

Shy maidens, unrestrained teenagers, and screaming children are constantly running around the fire.

Yang Xiaotao sat in the crowd, shouting and laughing with the people.

In the middle of the night, in the brigade headquarters, the villagers lined up in a long line to pack the wrapped dumplings and take them home.

Fortunately, the weather is cold, the dumplings are frozen and are not afraid of breaking the skin, a bite of half a catty of cabbage and pork stuffed dumplings, although you can't eat it openly, you can also eat some meat, try it, it's the New Year.

Yang Dazhuang glanced at the old pocket watch, and then nodded at Yang Shishi.

Immediately, Yang Shishi pulled the rope, and a bell rang throughout the village.

It's twelve o'clock, and the New Year has arrived.

Yang Xiaotao and Mrs. Yang sat on the kang, and the stone daughter-in-law and Wang Fang were still busy burning the fire below.

This year, as usual, was spent by the three families together.

This year is different from usual, there is one more person at the dinner table, and the dinner table is more abundant than before.

The three children stared at the braised pork on the table, and the saliva in their mouths kept swallowing.

Mrs. Yang smiled, picked up the meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, and the children were not afraid of being hot, and they felt better than sugar when they bit it in their mouths.

Yang Xiaotao watched from the sidelines, stretched out his hand to peel melon seeds for them to eat.

After Yang Dazhuang and the two returned, the dumplings had come out of the pot, and this Chinese New Year's Eve meal officially began.

There is no custom that women don't go to the table, a table of people sits there, men drink, women take care of children, and the New Year is a lively picture.

When Yang Xiaotao celebrated the New Year in Yangjiazhuang, the courtyard also began to celebrate the New Year.

Silly Zhu came to an uncle's house with a deaf old lady on his back, He Yushui looked at the stick terrier, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu sat at the table and drank tea, and Aunt Yi, Jia Zhang's and Qin Huairu wrapped cabbage and meat stuffed dumplings, and the house was also lively.

Silly Zhu stood in front of the pot table, looking at Qin Huairu who was helping, with indescribable excitement in his heart, and the spatula in his hand was stir-frying, and he had endless energy.

"Sister Qin, this terrier is really good."

Watching the little stick terrier staring and playing with wide eyes on the side, the silly pillar said happily.

"Oh, this is full, and when he cries, the whole family has no other sound."

Qin Huairu rubbed his face and looked at the stick stalk, and he was also extremely happy.

Jia Dongxu nodded at the table, talking about his son, it was his pride, which was stronger than Silly Zhu and Xu Damao, and even better than Yang Xiaotao's guy.

Yi Zhonghai also boasted on the side that the stick terrier knew that it hurt people, and he would grow up in the future.

Jia Zhang's family on the side was also proud, and there was an eldest grandson in the family, as if he had improved his status in this courtyard.

Everyone was praising this stalk, but the stupid pillar set his eyes on Qin Huairu's pair of big lanterns.

"Yes, this terrier is really edible."

Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi sat opposite each other in the backyard, with a small plate of melon seeds, a small plate of peach cakes and a small plate of peanuts in front of them.

The whole person eats freely and enjoys the taste of the New Year.

In the kitchen, the second aunt wrapped cabbage and meat stuffed dumplings, and there was a fish warm in the pot.

Liu Guangtian led Liu Guangfu to set off firecrackers at the mouth of the alley.

At Xu Damao's house, Lou Xiao'e sat on the bed and dangled her legs, but Xu Damao was fiddling with the food he bought, and his eyes turned to Lou Xiao'e from time to time.

They didn't go back to their hometown these years, mainly because Lou Xiao'e was afraid of urging them to have children.

glanced at his daughter-in-law, this body is good, why can't she plant the land?

Is it your own business?

Xu Damao remembered that he worked the widow in the countryside, and it seemed that no one was pregnant.

No, no.

Can those widows compare with their own daughters-in-law? Do they dare to ask for it?

It's definitely not my own business, it's all this woman, and I can't give birth.

Xu Damao was firm in his thoughts.

Lou Xiao'e on the side had a gloomy face, and every time she celebrated the holidays, relatives and friends would ask a few questions, when will you have a child?

Doesn't she want it?

Distressed, helpless.

Her own man is that kind of fast hand, she can only pray in her heart to God to take care of her, a poor woman, and give her a child.

In the front yard of Yan Fugui's house, the family is also making dumplings, but it is cabbage and eggs.

Yan Jiekuang was taken out by Yan Jiefang and played with Liu Guangtian and the brothers, while Yan Jiecheng helped Yan Fugui clean up today's harvest.

At this time of year, the Yan family can receive a pen fee.

Yan Fugui looked at the melon seeds, peanuts and candies that were separated, and his face was full of pride.

"Look, just a little paper and ink in exchange for so many things."

"This is not poor in food and clothing, and it is not calculating, so it is poor."

"Boss, you need to learn more."

Yan Jiecheng nodded, thinking about how to calculate his family in the future.

Bang bang bang

The sound of firecrackers sounded outside the door one after another, and Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen sighed with emotion, "Old man, I miss my grandson a little." ”

Uncle Chen sighed, "Wait a little longer." ”

Aunt Chen sighed when she heard this, "It's okay, anyway, there are in-laws over there to take care of it, and it's nothing." It's just that the little one is still young, and when they go to school, they can't take care of the two children. ”

"I know."

"We'll talk about it next year."

……

"Pillar, after the New Year, you should also start a family. It can't be single anymore. ”

Yi Zhonghai drank wine, his face was red, and the stupid pillar was also on his head, as for Jia Dongxu, he had already been helped back, and there were two people on the table.

"Uncle Yi, don't look for it again, Zhu Bajie and his second aunt will do it. The rest, it's easy to say. ”

Silly Zhu is still obsessed with the last blind date.

Yi Zhonghai laughed, "Then what kind of one do you want to find?" ”

When Silly Zhu heard this, a concave and convexing seductive figure appeared in his mind, and he was about to spit out, but in the end he stopped.

"Well, at least a little thinner."

"Otherwise, who will raise it?"

Yi Zhonghai saw his thoughts, smiled and nodded, "Zhong, then find a good-looking one for you." ”

"Hey, this is an uncle."

"Let's go!"

The two of them drank most of the night with leftovers.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Xiaotao got up early, and his grandfather had already gotten up.

"Master, Happy New Year!"

Yang Xiaotao greeted Mrs. Yang for the New Year, and Mrs. Yang took out a dime from his arms and handed it over.

"Give, New Year's money!"

"Ha, I'm so old and I still have New Year's money?"

"Hmph, if you don't have a family, you're a child."

"I really don't want it, I'll find a granddaughter-in-law this year, and I'll save the coffin."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "I promise not to harm your coffin." ”

"Stinky boy, don't just talk about it."

"Okay!"

Yang Xiaotao took out the clothes he bought, which was specially brought back for Mrs. Yang.

The old man put on a new coat, thick cotton shoes, and a cotton hat, and the whole person was also in good spirits.

"This one, it's warm to wear."

Mrs. Yang sighed.

"You, just wear it early, you have to wait for the New Year to wear it."

"You're too young to understand."

At this time, Yang Shishi brought his daughter-in-law over to pay New Year's greetings, and it was another busy job.

After tidying up the house, putting the melon seeds and candies on the kang, he said hello to the grandfather, put on a military coat, and followed Yang Shi out of the house to pay New Year's greetings to the old people in the village.

The children in the village were running around, and from time to time there were firecrackers, and a few children blew up the ice ballast on the side of the road, causing the people around them to laugh.

followed the crowd for a long time, and when he returned home again, it was already noon, and Yang Xiaotao was invited to his home by Yang Dazhuang before he could cook.

With a piece of pork strung with a rope, Yang Xiaotao went to Yang Dazhuang's house with Yang Shishi.

After I arrived, I found that the room was full of young people, and Yang Xiaotao still had some impressions, but he couldn't name them.

Yang Shishi introduced on the side, and Yang Xiaotao remembered, didn't these people grow up together?

It's just that the predecessor went to the city, and he is an imposter again, plus the devastation of life, the change in appearance is really unrecognizable.

When childhood friends are together, it is natural to have a lively time.

The meat brought by Yang Xiaotao also became the main dish, and with sorghum wine, several people quickly came up and talked about the troubles when they were children, which caused more laughter.

This wine was drunk until the afternoon, and when Yang Xiaotao returned home, Mrs. Yang went to another house to drink, and he made some food and lay on the bed to sleep.

……

Click

The axe fell, and a piece of tree root was cut in two, and then Yang Xiaotao picked it up and stacked it aside.

Yang Xiaotao woke up hungry in the morning, and got up from bed to find something to eat.

When I looked up, I remembered that I was in my hometown, and I found a piece of toffee from the space with my backhand and put it in my mouth, and my stomach stopped for a while.

Then he glanced at the attribute panel, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

Kerosene lighters?

Lucky charms?

Everything else in the exchange bar was normal, but this kerosene lighter was the first time it had come out.

Swap one for a bronze shell that will weigh in your hand.

There is a plum blossom engraved on the front, and there is no word on the back, so I can't see which manufacturer it is.

"It's a hassle."

Ding dong

Open the hood, then turn the gears, stab twice, and hit the spark on the cotton rope, and then a yellow flame rises in the vent.

Let's go

The cover closes and the flame is extinguished.

"5 credits each, cost-effective."

Yang Xiaotao buckled it in the palm of his hand, although it was very cheap, he didn't buy more.

This kind of thing is obviously not domestic, and if there is one, it is nothing, but if it is going to be flooded, it will attract the attention of people with a heart.

"Lucky charms?"

"This thing is the same as the Last Imperius Talisman."

Looking at the introduction at the back and the same as the Soul Snatcher, 50 credits, and there are still 8 minutes left in the countdown, Yang Xiaotao has the heart to give it a try.

"This thing, maybe it will be useful."

I thought in my heart, the main thing is to satisfy the credits, so I gritted my teeth and bought it.

A moment later, a palm-sized piece of golden rune paper appeared in front of him, smooth to the touch, with a four-leaf clover embedded in it.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while, but didn't find anything special, so he put it in the storage space.

When you look at the redemption bar again, the lucky charms have turned gray and the items have not been refreshed.

Without looking again, he turned around and walked out.

When he went out, he saw Mrs. Yang boiling water, Yang Xiaotao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and came to the yard to split the roots.

Click

Smack

Behind him, a row of wooden sticks was neatly stacked together, each piece of firewood about the same length, neat, and beautiful.

Since he knew that Yang Shishi was chopping firewood for the family, Yang Xiaotao didn't let him come again.

With him at home, do you still use someone else?

When you are at home, you can finish chopping these firewoods, which can be regarded as filial piety.

What's more, in terms of Yang Xiaotao's strength, this workload is no different from the processed parts in the workshop.

Yang Xiaotao erected a thigh-thick wooden root, his right hand was slightly forced, and then the axe fell, and with a click, the wooden block was separated from the middle, and after the surrounding area was piled up, it was picked up and placed behind.

At this time, I felt that there was a person standing behind me, and it was Mrs. Yang.

"Master, why didn't you make a sound?"

After Yang Xiaotao saw it, he continued to fiddle with the firewood, but Mrs. Yang was silent.

In fact, Mrs. Yang has been watching him for a long time, from the beginning to the present, most of the days have passed, and at first I thought that this child was just filial piety and had some strength.

And looking at his posture, he obviously doesn't know the skill of chopping wood, he purely uses brute force to chop and spend three points of effort to do a job.

He didn't say anything, he just wanted this kid to know that the banker was tired, so he kept waiting, and when he was tired, he would give some pointers, which was a long experience.

But who knows, this kid has been working for so long, and he is still comfortable and relaxed, and he is not struggling.

Especially the piece of wood just now, if the village man chops it, he has to stand up and pick up the axe with both hands to chop it down, how can he sit on the ground like this, and his arms are raised and fallen, and it becomes two halves.

And the scene in front of him made him even more puzzled.

How powerful this little guy is.

"Xiao Tao, are you tired?"

Mrs. Yang tried to ask, but it could be seen that there were no beads of sweat on his head, so he knew that he must not have much energy.

Could it be that the work in the factory is heavier and exercised?

"I'm not tired!"

Yang Xiaotao said happily, his hands were not sore, his waist was not tired, he didn't feel anything.

Well, the only feeling is a little hungry.

Mrs. Yang walked up to Yang Xiaotao, frowned, and then reached out to pinch Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, then pinched his arm, and finally touched Yang Xiaotao's chest.

Yang Xiaotao's face was cautious, if it weren't for Mrs. Yang's solemn face, he would have avoided it a long time ago.
