There was a crackling explosion.

1988 also ushered in the thirtieth day of the lunar month.

Gu Bei was awakened, pulled out his arm with difficulty, opened a crack in the curtain, and looked outside, it was still dark, only the bursts of light from the firecrackers were lit.

The neighbors in the compound began to grab it again. 33

robbed every year, but the real life that I haven't seen every year is stronger than in previous years.

It's just a matter of habit.

"What time is it?"

Chen Xiaoxu was wrapped in the quilt, half of his face was hidden, and asked in a daze.

"I don't know, it's not dawn yet! Up? ”

Chen Xiaoxu replied with one word after a long time: "Sleepy!" ”

Gu Bei hurriedly retracted his arm again, he was also sleepy, very sleepy.

During this time, I was busy with the preparation of the crew of "Do You Know", staying up late and working overtime every day, and I haven't slept well for a long time.

"Then go back to sleep!"

The daughter-in-law is at home, Li Sufen can't still break in and lift the quilt.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xiaoxu answered, and rubbed a little more against Gu Bei.

"Cold!"

As soon as Gu Bei lay down, he could only get up helplessly and add a few briquettes to the stove that was about to burn out.

Living in a courtyard is not good, there is no heating, there is no water supply, he does not want to change, but he does not want to destroy the original structure of the courtyard.

opened the damper under the stove again, and it was soon whirring inside, and then quickly hid back on the bed, and as soon as he lay down, Chen Xiaoxu squeezed over and entangled him to death.

Last night, the two of them worked hard again, and then the joy of the New Year is approaching, maybe there can be good news.

Originally, neither of them wanted to have a child so early, but the parents of both sides were urging them to do their best.

The sound of firecrackers outside became more and more intense, accompanied by the cacophony of neighbors talking.

If they want to sleep back, it's impossible, and the two of them can only lie under the quilt, hoping that the neighbors can call it a day early.

The Spring Festival holiday is only three days, a day when you should have a good rest, but you have to toss with yourself.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to get up early to set off firecrackers, on the first day of the new year, you have to get up early to pay respects to the New Year, and on the second day of the new year, you have to get up early to follow your daughter-in-law back to her mother's house.

Wait until the third day of the Lunar New Year......

After the holiday, go back to work.

Speaking of which, I can't accompany Chen Xiaoxu back to my parents' house this year.

Gu Bei will return to the unit on duty tomorrow, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the crew will be regrouped, and the training class will also start.

"Brother, sister-in-law!"

Gu Nan's voice came from outside the house.

Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu glanced at each other, and no one had a tacit understanding.

Even if you can't sleep, it's better to lie in bed!

I thought that Gu Nan called twice, but no one paid attention to him, so he left.

But this stinky girl is very stubborn, shouting and knocking on the door.

"Get up!"

Chen Xiaoxu was helpless, said a word, and sat up first.

"This is up, this is up, there will be no New Year's money for you tomorrow!"

Chen Xiaoxu shouted angrily, and Gu Nan outside the house was immediately persuaded to retreat.

Although she is already a big girl, Gu Nan's obsession with New Year's money has not diminished at all.

Chen Xiaoxu is up, and Gu Bei can't continue to rely on it.

The two of them grinded for a while, and got out of bed and got dressed before Li Sufen came to call him in person.

At this moment, it is already very lively outside, and probably the people of the entire capital have already risen to catch up with this old ceremony.

Ha......

Pushing the door out, Gu Bei yawned, and then the smell of gunpowder rushed straight to his nose, and the person instantly became refreshed.

Good guys, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, as if they have fought a battle, and their family is estimated to have contributed a lot.

Li Sufen just came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Gu Bei listless, she also knew that she must not have slept well.

But who made today the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve?

If anyone can't get up, they will be laughed at by their neighbors.

"Is Xiao Xu up?"

Without waiting for Gu Bei to speak, Chen Xiaoxu had already come out, and when he saw Li Sufen, he was still a little embarrassed.

How can there be a mother-in-law who is already busy in the kitchen, and the reason why she is still in bed when she is a daughter-in-law.

If it is left in the past, the daughter-in-law will wait at the door before the parents-in-law open the door.

"Mom!"

"Xiao Xu, wake you up, I told Nannan, let you sleep more, come into the house, just woke up, it's cold outside, don't freeze and catch a cold!"

Chen Xiaoxu answered, and stepped into the main house with small steps.

Alas......

Gu Bei has long been accustomed to Li Sufen's double standard, and he doesn't care about it.

Seeing that there were still a few firecrackers under the wall, Gu Bei lit a cigarette, unfolded the firecrackers, hung them together, and put the cigarette butts forward.

Cracking sound......

Come on!

Hurt each other!

As soon as the explosion sounded, the neighbor's house living in the east wing immediately turned on the lights.

Breakfast is still Li Sufen's eight big bowls, but the dishes change every year, even in the most difficult times, she can always change the way to make eight dishes.

Now that the days are better, they are naturally more abundant.

"Mom! Why didn't the sea crab I asked people get back from Tianjin to be steamed? ”

Li Sufen brought the last dish to the table, roasted sea cucumber with green onions.

Although the life of the common people is getting better and better, there are absolutely very few people who can still eat seafood at the end of the year, and the vast majority of people still rely on fish and meat.

"You can make all the good things in one meal, and in the evening, it's just time for the drink."

In the past, life was fine, but now that life is better and the family has money, Li Sufen has not changed this habit.

In Gu Bei's memory, one summer, Gu Xiaowu didn't know where to get some prawns.

Originally, Gu Bei and Gu Nan thought they could feast on it, but as a result, after Li Sufen cooked it, they hung it on the wall to dry.

The brother and sister came home from school every day and looked at the dozen or so prawns, eager to wear them.

waited until the Chinese New Year to take it down to make dumplings.

More than a dozen prawns were forcibly dismembered and distributed to dumplings throughout the Chinese New Year, and no matter how hard the two brothers and sisters tried, they didn't taste the slightest taste of prawns.

At that time, Gu Bei thought that he had nothing to do with shrimp in this life, look at the present......

It's not fresh for a long time.

The dishes on the table are rich, but get up too early, there is no appetite at all, simply eat a little, egg custard is absolutely indispensable, this thing is called cake in Tianjin, eat it in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, take the meaning of step by step.

After breakfast, Chen Xiaoxu helped clean up together, while Gu Bei sneaked back to the house and went to bed.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers gradually subsided, and people were waiting, ready to stay until Chinese New Year's Eve, and when it was time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, they would fight well.

was falling asleep in a daze, Gu Bei felt that someone was lying next to him, and when he smelled it, he knew that it was Chen Xiaoxu.

"The door is on?"

"Hmm!"

The conversation ended, and it didn't take much time for the two of them to fall asleep.

When I woke up again, it was almost noon.

Gu Bei glued Chen Xiaoxu's light, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve cleaning dodged over.

The next activity is dumpling-making.

Gu Bei never understood why the dumplings could be wrapped at any time, so why he had to wrap all the dumplings of the first month on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

If you put it in the first two years, it's okay, when it's cold, the dumplings are frozen, and you don't have to worry about it going bad when you put it in a small jar.

But this year, it didn't work, and it didn't snow seriously until the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it couldn't freeze at all.

It's a good thing to add a freezer at home, otherwise, the dumplings will wait for the hair to grow!

After lunch, the whole family started to get busy.

Gu Bei played his only specialty - rolling skin.

Gu Xiaowu, Li Sufen, and Gu Nan are in charge of the package.

Chen Xiaoxu's words......

She livens up the atmosphere on the sidelines and entertains neighbors who come to visit the door by the way.

After working until four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Sufen was going to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

At this time, small snowflakes fluttered outside, and they melted when they fell to the ground, and they couldn't form a climate at all, and soon the yard was wet.

"You say...... What is Zhang Li doing now? ”

Chen Xiaoxu said suddenly.

Gu Bei listened to it and understood why Chen Xiaoxu was always in a mood all day long, it turned out that he was thinking about his best friend.

"That's right! Xiao Xu didn't mention it and I forgot, the girl named Zhang Li didn't go home for the New Year, why didn't she call to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together? ”

Li Sufen realized it later, at the beginning, she also had a mind to add Zhang Li to her daughter-in-law's reserve.

It's just that after Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu got married, other girls could no longer enter her eyes.

"I asked, but she didn't want to come."

Gu Bei had already reported to Chen Xiaoxu, and now he had told his family again.

"This girl, isn't it just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, there are many people and it is lively, Xiaobei, or you ......"

"Mom, forget it."

Without waiting for Li Sufen to finish speaking, Chen Xiaoxu stopped him back.

She knew Zhang Li best, and knew that Zhang Li never wanted to cause trouble to anyone.

Chen Xiaoxu said so, and Li Sufen naturally didn't mention it again, and asked Gu Bei to pick up Zhang Li's matter.

Although she doesn't mind, it's better for the family to get together for the New Year.

What's more, this is the first Spring Festival that Chen Xiaoxu has married.

When you're bored, time always flies slowly.

The dumplings were almost wrapped, Li Sufen officially began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Xiaoxu volunteered to help, but was blasted out within five minutes.

Whatever is helping, it is clearly adding to the chaos.

Chen Xiaoxu is also very helpless, it seems that she will not be able to inherit her mother-in-law's cooking skills in her life, which are not very clever.

"The last course, fish every year!"

Look at the time, 7:45, there are still fifteen minutes before the Spring Festival Gala begins.

At this moment, every family is already sitting around the table, the hungry children are secretly eating the dishes on the table, and the adults are busy pouring wine, ready to enjoy the most sumptuous meal of the year.

"Xiao Xu, have a drink?"

Chen Xiaoxu didn't speak, and let Gu Xiaowu assign Gu Nan to fill the wine glass in front of her.

As the head of the family, Gu Xiaowu picked up the wine glass and wanted to say a few toasts, but there was no splendor, and finally only held back one sentence: "This year, our family has added people to import, Xiaoxu is the first time to celebrate the New Year at home, let's wish ...... All the best! ”

Oh, yes!

All the best!

Gu Bei is also looking forward to being able to ...... next year

All the best!

"Cheers!"

Belch......

As soon as Gu Bei sat down, he looked at Chen Xiaoxu in amazement, as well as the empty wine glass in her hand.

Daughter-in-law, can we not be so realistic?

Some people died, but not completely......
