After listening to Mingqi's words, Wu Yuan was on the verge of amnesty.

These two children, who sleep as angels, wake up as devils.

It's too much of a sin to bring it up.

It's just that he just returned to the house, sat on the sofa, and let the sun dry his face, Wu Yuan also paid attention to the outside for a while.

As a result, I paid attention to it, and I fell asleep first.

When they woke up from a nap, the two children slept beside them, just like angels.

In the kitchen, Ma Mingqi was wearing an apron and was stir-frying.

On the table, two dishes have already been placed.

Wu Yuan got up lightly and looked over, a plate of cabbage tofu, a plate of salted pork slices, and a salted fish was burning in the pot.

What the taste is, Wu Yuan doesn't know.

But looking at this skill, it shouldn't be much worse.

"You'll stay for dinner later."

"No, Master Yuan, I have food at home."

Wu Yuan pointed to the two children and said, "After a while, they will wake up, and I will be choking alone." ”

Ma Mingqi pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, Master Yuan." ”

With Ma Mingqi helping to take care of the children, Wu Yuan was much more relaxed in the afternoon.

So much so that Yang Luoyan, who came back early, couldn't hide even a glimmer of hope when she saw her husband so relaxed.

It wasn't until she went back to the house to change into home clothes that Wu Yuan suddenly hugged her and said, "Wife, you have worked hard with your children!" ”

Yang Luoyan gently broke free of his embrace, and said unsatisfied: "It's light." ”

In fact, I was very satisfied.

My own man finally understands that it is not easy to raise a baby and bring a baby.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, January 26.

When I woke up, it was white again.

How long has it been since two heavy snowfalls?

Thanks to yesterday, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, he went to the market to buy New Year's goods such as couplets and firecrackers.

Otherwise, it is not enough to go to the market on this day.

Secretly rejoicing, Wu Yuan got up and ate breakfast, and then boiled the pot on the stove with earth heating.

After boiling, while it is hot, paint the door, garage, entrance door of the small building, the door of the stove room, and even the door of the living room on the second floor, and then paste the couplets in one go.

Inside and out, it looks brand new.

Not long after, Ma Mingjun, who was tall and tall, came, and when he saw the situation, he said, "Master, I thought I would come and post a couplet for you, but I was still a step too late." ”

"You've got it all posted in your house?"

"Master, I don't need to post it at home."

Only then did Wu Yuan remember that the three-year period had saved money. ”

After all, not only did you save money on couplets, but also money on firecrackers.

Ma Mingjun smiled: "Save money, but save money, but I always feel that my home is deserted and there is no New Year's flavor." ”

Isn't it?

Speaking of fireworks, there are all kinds of harms, but it is not false at all.

But during the New Year's holidays, this thing is really missing, and it does have a lot of bad taste.

The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals.

If you really ban this fireworks, where is the heart of mortals?

Wu Yuan retracted his thoughts and said, "If the children in the family want to play with firecrackers, come to my house." I bought quite a few this year, hundreds of dollars. ”

Ma Mingjun belched, but did not refuse, and then wrapped his military coat tightly and said, "Then Master, I'll go first." ”

Seeing Ma Mingjun away, the old master next door came over with two carps.

"Uncle Dai, didn't you send a big pot over two days ago?"

Two days ago, taking advantage of the warm weather, the old generation of fish ponds pumped, and finally left a lot of small fish with a long foot, which could not be sold for money, and each family divided a lot, fried with oil, and the taste was very good.

But the old generation sent the carp forward and said, "Isn't this for burning paper on your family's grave?" ”

This reminded Wu Yuan.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the paper is burned, and almost all of them are two carps given by the old generation.

It's not big and the taste is average, but this dish is really indispensable for burning paper.

Wu Yuan took the carp, thanked him, and then scattered the root Huazi to the old generation: "Uncle Dai, do you have any ideas for next year?" The two of us have been neighbors for so many years, with me, you are welcome. ”

The old generation grinned: "I'm very good, the housekeeper is on the defensive, and I get a lot of money." It's the boss of my family, isn't this eighteen years old, and I want to go to work in other places, can you see if you can show me the way? ”

"What else does that mean? Don't go to other places, just Shanghai. Whether it's with me or looking for another job, you can take care of it, right? ”

"That's good, I'll tell him when I go back."

Sending away the old generation, Yang Luoyan also made a few dishes for burning paper on the grave.

In the past, it was four, but now it has become six.

It can be regarded as letting the old man and the old lady enjoy happiness together.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan sat on the front steps of the building, took out a cigarette and smoked it himself.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.

It's a shame.

It wasn't until the third sister Wu Xiuhua carried the paper money into the gate that Wu Yuan came back to his senses, patted his butt and said, "Third sister, why did you come here so early today?" ”

Wu Xiuhua said: "I guess you and Luo Yan will go to the old branch secretary's house as soon as possible to work, so I came over early." ”

Wu Yuan also took out two large packages of paper money from the house and said: "Luoyan is ready for the young and old, I can just burn it with a piece, and I can save the third sister from running alone." ”

Wu Xiuhua insisted on insisting: "That's not good, I burn it for my father and mother every year, and if I don't come this year, my father and mother should talk about it." Besides, Ming'er took Feiyan home, such a big thing, how could she have to talk to her father. ”

Wu Yuan no longer persuaded him.

After all, in terms of thoughtfulness, the third sister is the most like an old lady.

He couldn't persuade him.

The sister and brother carried paper money and tribute, went down to the lake all the way deep and shallow, and went straight to the graveyard of the old couple.

The field is white, but the graves of the old couple are recognizable at a glance.

Wu Xiuhua said: "I heard that we will return the fields to plant mulberry next year, our father and mother are here, whether the ground will be moved, you have to pay attention." ”

This reminded Wu Yuan, "Before Qingming next year, I plan to give my father and mother a whole place and set up a monument or something." ”

"Okay, I'll make it up for you then."

"Not really."

"Sister knows that you are not bad at this, but you have to give me the opportunity to be filial."

"Okay."

When I came back after burning the paper, in the empty field, the sound of firecrackers came and went.

This is not waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to begin, and the firecrackers are set off in advance.

When the sisters and brothers returned home, Wu Xiuhua used a branch to remove the mud from the soles of her shoes, and then she couldn't wait to leave.

After all, the family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is still waiting for her to make.

Yang Luoyan evened out the roast duck given by Chef Fan to the third sister, and the third sister said that she didn't want anything.

It wasn't until he said that it was for Feiyan that he reluctantly accepted it.

Seeing off the third sister, Yang Luoyan asked again: "Let's go to my father's house, what dishes are we going to bring?" ”

Wu Yuan said without thinking: "Boiled fish must be indispensable, and bring another braised goose." ”

Yang Luoyan hesitated: "Will it be too much?" ”

Wu Yuan said: "Mom has been taking care of our children, and I don't think I have prepared much for the New Year." Be prepared, anyway! ”

"Okay, you're in charge, listen to you!"
