"Mom." Yu Dongqing shouted and hurriedly quickened her pace, and Liu Fenglan also saw her son and greeted her with a smile.

"Mom, it's such a cold day, don't freeze and catch a cold when you stand still." Yu Dongqing said.

"Hehe, it's okay." Liu Fenglan looked at her son lovingly, and then turned to the little granddaughter who was standing aside.

"This is Tongtong? I haven't seen it this big in a few years. ”

"Tongtong, call grandma." Yu Dongqing hurriedly urged.

"Grandma." The little girl looked at the strange old man in front of her, and still screamed crisply.

"Hello." Liu Fenglan's wrinkled face suddenly opened her mouth, and she took Tongtong's little hand: "Go, go home, grandma made you delicious food." ”

Yu Dongqing carried his luggage, and the three of them entered the village.

Now the countryside has been greatly improved after the construction of the new countryside, a straight cement road, the walls on both sides are snow-white, and some traditional Chinese paintings such as plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums are painted, and the houses are also completely new.

But what hasn't changed is the style of the house, which is still the traditional "half-built" house in the Guanzhong area.

The three of them entered a courtyard in the village, which is a common farm yard in the countryside.

The red lacquer gate, which is also inlaid with colored bricks, is five words: "Home and everything is prosperous." "After entering, there are four blue brick houses with bright windows, side rooms on both sides, the small yard is very clean, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that there are two jujube trees planted against the wall.

Yu Dongqing remembered that in his childhood, these two jujube trees had grown up, and he often used to secretly knock on jujube with a broom to eat jujube when the jujube was not yet ripe, and he was scolded by his mother a lot.

Today's jujube trees, although they have no leaves in winter, are still luxuriant.

This reminded Yu Dongqing of Lu Xun's famous saying: "In my back garden, I can see two trees outside the wall, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." ”

Yu Dongqing put down the luggage, and Liu Fenglan greeted him politely: "Hungry, right?" I cooked you your favorite "big knife noodles" when you were a child. ”

Yu Dongqing almost drooled when he heard it, he had eaten the oily noodles and Zhenzi noodles in Yanjing, the Guanzhong area of Qin Province, and even the popular Bangbang noodles and slurry noodles in the southern part of Qin Province, and the popular mutton noodles in the north, but he had never eaten the big knife noodles.

"Tongtong, go with your dad to eat the big knife noodles made by grandma!"

Yu Dongqing said to her daughter with a smile.

Dadaomen is one of the traditional delicacies in Huayin, with a long history and rich cultural connotation; It is rolled out with a double cane and cut with a guillotine blade (large knife), hence the name.

In Huayin, there is a saying that "the noodle restaurant in front of the yamen", which means that this big knife noodle restaurant was once opened in front of the entrance of the government, which also shows the long history of the big knife noodles.

The reason why it is called "big knife noodles" is that the knife for cutting noodles is very large, and it is almost the original guillotine. Speaking of "guillotines", people who have lived in the countryside and are now in their forties will understand that they were originally used to feed livestock and forage, and of course, the current guillotines are specially used to cut noodles.

Handmade noodles are served with traditional soybean paste - homemade soybean paste stir-fried in warm oil to create a rich sauce aroma, add green onion and ginger, add diced tofu, vermicelli, add soup, and simmer over low heat.

Yu Dongqing looked at the big porcelain bowl brought by his mother was golden and bright, and the sauce was fragrant, and his appetite was suddenly opened, and he poured balsamic vinegar and oil and spicy seeds, and he was in an uproar, and a large bowl of noodles was eaten in a few minutes.

The stomach is warm and comfortable.

Looking at her daughter, she was also sitting on a small stool eating noodles and sweating profusely.

"Where's my dad?" Yu Dongqing asked, he hadn't seen his father yet.

"He went to your Uncle Honggang's house in the west of the village to help, and his youngest son will marry his daughter-in-law tomorrow. Your second uncle and third uncle have all passed. Liu Fenglan explained.

Uncle Honggang's name is Yu Honggang, and Yu Dongqing's father Yu Hongjun is the grandson of the same grandfather, and they are still relatively close.

In fact, half of the entire Beizhai Village is surnamed Yu, and they are all related to each other, and whoever has anything will go over to help.

Yu Dongqing's father, Yu Hongjun, used to be a cook, so anyone in the village asked him to come over to help.

As soon as Yu Dongqing heard this, he became interested, so he said to his mother: "I'm going to see my Uncle Honggang in the past?" ”

"Go ahead, it's very lively, wait for me to clean up the house, and I'll go over later."

Yu Dongqing took her daughter's little hand, walked out of the gate, and walked towards the east of the village, and before she could reach a mile, she heard a man's high-pitched singing voice from a courtyard not far away.

Let Haitian gather energy for me

Go and break new ground

Go for my ideals

"Men should be self-reliant"!

The voice of the third uncle!

Yu Dongqing quickened his pace.

In a courtyard at the east end of the village, the gate was open, the figures were shaking and laughing, as if it was the New Year, Yu Dongqing pulled her daughter over, and the people she knew immediately greeted her.

"Holly, come back for the New Year?"

"Uh-huh, Uncle Jianguo, I'm back for the New Year"

In fact, Yu Dongqing graduated from high school and went to college, and later worked in other places, and he didn't have much time to come back, and many people were no longer familiar with him, knowing that it was from this village but couldn't name it, but they all greeted him warmly.

When he entered the courtyard, the master immediately greeted him,

"Holly, you're back." It was Yu Honggang who spoke, wearing a leather jacket, with a red face and a cigarette handed Yu Dongqing.

"Thanks, uncle, I don't smoke." Yu Dongqing refused: "What about my dad?" ”

"He's going to take someone to the town to buy something, you find a place to sit. Don't go back in the evening, eat. ”

The marriage of children in Huayin is a major event, and it is generally prepared to eat for three days in advance, not only to help, but also to come from some families, so it is very lively.

Yu Dongqing said Uncle Honggang, you are busy, I will sit casually, Yu Honggang is not polite, and after a few words, he will be busy with himself.

There was a shed in the courtyard, and a table was placed in it, Yu Dongqing casually found a vacant seat to sit down and greeted the laugher next to him.

Even though it's winter, the brazier with coal burning under each table doesn't feel too cold.

Yu Dongqing saw the third uncle Yu Hongguang singing the temporary stage set up in the west of the courtyard.

After singing the song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", they were immediately greeted with applause and applause, Yu Hongguang did not step down, but sang the Internet Divine Comedy:

Let's learn to meow together

Meow me

in front of you

Oops, meow

Yu Dongqing was dumbfounded when he heard this.

It's the first time I've heard someone sing this loud song as Hong Zhong Da Lu, which is a cat and a tiger

This reminded Yu Dongqing of Uncle Teng who washed the music scene in that time and space.

But it still won a round of applause, especially in the seat next to Yu Dongqing, a wrinkled peasant woman slapped her face very loudly, which attracted Yu Dongqing's attention.

"Who is she? I don't think I've seen it? Yu Dongqing asked the person next to him in a low voice.

"Hey Zhang Sulian, Widow Zhang, who lives in the south of the village."

She's Widow Zhang?!

It's not good, it's not as good as my third mother, so that the third uncle is infatuated?

Yu Dongqing took a closer look at Widow Zhang, who was smiling again, and suddenly understood the reason.

Because from the eyes of this unattractive peasant woman, Yu Dongqing saw the admiration of the men on the stage.

Yu Hongguang sang a few songs in a row, and was a little tired, so he got off the stage to rest, and pop songs immediately began to play in the speakers temporarily hung in the courtyard.

The power is very high, and it is a bit noisy, but the countryside is very lively.

Yu Hongguang stepped down, Yu Dongqing hurriedly stood up and beckoned, and Yu Hongguang walked over with a smile when he saw it.
