Zheng's mother first grinded her teeth with Zheng Zhendong, and then asked Zheng Zhenguo.

"Boss, you're also here, just ask what you think, and our family will divide these two houses."

"Seeing that your brothers are also older, you won't be able to live after you get married in the future."

"The third child wants to buy another house, or exchange it with the Li family in the main house of the middle courtyard, what do you think?"

When Zheng Zhenguo heard this, he got up and went to the luggage, took out an envelope and handed it to Zheng's mother.

"Mom, this is my allowance for the past few years, you can use it, since the third child wants to buy a house, then buy it!"

Mother Zheng opened the envelope, took out the money and counted it, it was really a lot, a pile of four million thick ones.

Then he collected three million and returned the rest to Zheng Zhenguo.

"I'll take three million, you can pack the rest, a man can't have no money in his hand, these three million will be used to buy a house, and your name will be written on the deed when the time comes."

Zheng Zhenguo heard what Zheng's mother said, and hurriedly refused.

"No need Mom, whose name is not the same, why is it so clear that the family is so clear?"

Zheng's mother couldn't refuse: "Okay, listen to me in this matter, my brother will settle the account, and I won't complain after saying it in advance, so it's decided!" ”

……

Unconsciously, the mother and son talked about the water in the steel pot boiling, and then put down a curtain of dumplings into the pot.

After the dumplings were cooked, Zheng Zhendong went out to find his sister and came back, and then the four of them began to eat.

……

Early the next morning, Zheng's mother took Zheng Zhenguo to carry things and went to Qinjiatun and Qin Huairu's house in Changping.

After coming back, Zheng Zhenguo talked about Qin Huairu, and he had a good impression of her, and both parties were quite satisfied, so this family matter was decided.

……

After a few more days, the rolling mill began to take annual vacation, and the yard immediately became lively.

In the past few days, the three brothers and sisters have been busy cleaning up their homes, during which Zheng Zhendong went to Houhai and went to catch a few big fish to come back, ready to use them for the New Year.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and on this day, the family got up early, and several people who had eaten breakfast acted separately.

Zheng's mother took her little sister to make dumplings for the New Year, the eldest brother Zheng Zhenguo handled the ingredients to be used for the New Year today, and Zheng Zhendong also went out to the front yard.

At this time, Yan Bugui, the third master, set up a table at the door of his house, on which were placed the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study, preparing to write Spring Festival couplets to the neighbors in the courtyard.

Zheng Zhendong walked to the door of Yan's house and told Yan Bugui first.

"Three masters, happy New Year! I wish you all the best in the new year! ”

Yan Bugui hurriedly replied with a smile on his face.

"Dongzi, you also have a good New Year, I wish you success in your studies and better grades in the coming year!"

The two of them were polite together, and finally Zheng Zhendong said.

"Three masters, you write a Spring Festival couplet for the affected, my family hasn't posted it yet, I'm sorry for you!"

After speaking, he took out 5,000 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Yan Bugui and said.

"This is your pen fee, please write better for my home!"

Yan Bugui's eyes were full of longing, but he hurriedly refused.

"Look at you Dongzi, my family doesn't take advantage of you, it's either fish or game, I can't accept anyone's pen!"

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly threw the money to Yan Bugui and said.

"As long as you write better, and those things are not for you, everyone has them, so hurry up and put them away!"

Yan Bugui put the money in his pocket, and then wrote a couplet for Zheng Zhendong, only to see that it was written.

Uplink: smooth sailing every year, downlink: everything goes well backgammon. Horizontal batch: Five blessings come to the door.

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly thanked Yan Bugui, and then walked to the door of his house and shouted to Zheng Xinyi, who was playing outside.

"Little sister, go to the house and get some paste, let's paste the Spring Festival couplets."

After a while, Zheng Xinyi brought the paste, and then the brother and sister pasted the Spring Festival couplets together, and the two went home to help work.

……

Busy until noon, the family of four casually ate something, and continued to work on Chinese New Year's Eve.

By about half past five in the afternoon, I finally got the food for the New Year.

Fried goods include fried fish, fried meat, fried coupling, fried croquettes, fried peanuts, fried bean flour balls, etc.

Hot dishes include stewed pheasant, stewed rabbit, stewed pork ribs, stir-fried meat with chili, shredded potatoes with vinegar, braised pork, and stewed in the Northeast.

There are also a few cold dishes, and finally two kinds of dumplings, pork and cabbage, carrots and mutton.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready, Mother Zheng took out Father Zheng's spiritual position and placed it as a tribute, let the three children kneel down and kowtow to Father Zheng, and then chanted a few words.

When Mother Zheng withdrew the tribute and put away the spiritual seat, several people began to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The eldest brother Zheng Zhenguo took out a bottle of Moutai and asked Zheng Zhendong.

"Third child, do you want to have some drinks with me?"

"Okay, give me the bottle and I'll pour it for you, big brother!" Zheng Zhen said to the east.

At this time, Zheng's mother also said: "The third child, you also pour me less, today is the New Year, I will also drink some wine to find the atmosphere!" ”

After pouring the wine, looking at Zheng Xinyi, who was eager to try, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said.

"Little sister, don't look at it, this thing is not for you to drink, next time in the summer, the third brother will squeeze watermelon juice for you to drink, okay?"

After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said to the eldest brother.

"Big brother, let's give our mother a drink first!"

"I want it too!" Zheng Xinyi said lively.

The three brothers and sisters stood up and congratulated Zheng's mother.

"Mom! I wish you a prosperous Chinese New Year, all the best, and all your wishes come true! ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Okay, mom is happy, I don't know how happy I am to see you at home for the New Year, so let's sit down and eat, children!"

Mother Zheng looked at the children in front of her, and her heart blossomed.

The three brothers and sisters sat down, and the Zheng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

Zheng Zhenguo picked up his wine glass and said to Zheng Zhendong.

"Third child, I'm not at home on weekdays, you take care of our mother and little sister with more snacks, and the eldest brother respects you!"

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly excused himself and said: "Big brother, look at you, how can there be an elder brother who respects his younger brother first, this is not good, it is all messed up with the ethics program!" ”

After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said to his eldest brother Zheng Zhenguo.

"Big brother, you have been a soldier in the army for more than two years, and our brothers are also drinking for the first time, I will respect you first, I wish you every step of the way and become a general as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he touched the wine glass with Zheng Zhenguo, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

As a result, I overestimated the amount of alcohol I drank, and I fell on the top after drinking.

At this time, Zheng's mother, seeing that Zheng Zhendong had drunk so much, her face turned red, and she asked distressedly.

"Third child, are you okay? Tell me why you're so solid-eyed! ”

"This cup is more than two taels, you have dried it in one gulp, how old are you, you dare to drink it like this, don't die!"

After saying that, Zheng Zhendong turned his head and complained to Zheng Zhenguo, he shouldn't have proposed to let the third child drink with him.
