To tell the truth: That is, the general, Jia Lai was willing to give a few pieces, but he didn't expect to appreciate it.

"In the middle of the night, the cold wind and cold air, what is there to eat. You are no longer young, you have to go to bed early and drink plenty of water, and if you are hungry, let the firehead army cook you some hot soup and hot rice. ”

After Huo Yunqian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Jia Lai froze in place, looking at his empty hand.

Nothing to eat, why did you take the biscuit box away?

While going down the city tower, he picked up a piece and threw it in his mouth.

Jia Lai hurriedly chased after him: "Huh? General, it's not a humble job, you pick up a little food, eat a pawn, eat something else, just don't eat the car and the handsome when you get off. ”

Xu Tianxin baked a set of chess biscuits for Jia Lai.

The red word is milky, and the green word is tea.

What Huo Yunqian threw in his mouth was really not the "handsome" in the biscuit, but picked a piece of "cannon".

Hearing this, the more he was not allowed to eat it, the more his fingers were about to move to the handsome style biscuit, and asked Jia Lai, who was rushing to the side, "Why?" ”

Downstairs in the city, two rows of soldiers stationed in the city heard General Jia say: "The general doesn't know, the reason why the dim sum is made into a chess style is because the little girl said that this Grandpa Jia is the handsome man and the man with a car in her mind, and only in chess can there be a handsome and a car, so she made such a set of dim sum." ”

Here, it can be seen from the font of the handsome character itself that it is really not to describe a man's bells and whistles, not to praise his handsomeness.

Instead, it alludes to the soil, and the soil should be filled with scarves, that is, it should be filled with meritorious flags.

So here the handsome character represents those who are worthy of the country and the people of Li.

People with outstanding merits such as generals, scientific researchers, etc., can be praised and praised by others as very handsome.

So there is no ambiguity if it has nothing to do with appearance, Xu Tianxin is relieved to boldly praise Jia Lai.

provoked even the soldiers on duty who were listening to this dialogue, and they were wondering in their hearts: Who is this? It's a sycophant.

It's just a boast to Jia Lai's heart.

"The general didn't know, the girl also wished for a humble job at the end, strategizing thousands of miles of wind and face, falling son sonorously full of chests, happy in chess, chess fun. Hahaha. ”

Huo Yunqian stuffed the snack box back into Jia Lai's arms, and he really couldn't listen to it anymore.

I can't eat it anymore.

In Xu Tianxin's view, his New Year's gift is a biscuit bridge and wine paving the way, smiling to welcome people and sophisticated, and he is okay in all aspects. After all, this is what our current economic situation can come up with, and it is also the most attentive gift.

But she didn't know that her impression in Huo Yunqian's mind was that she didn't understand the world. It is reflected in the fact that everything is responded to, and everything is not settled.

——

On the second day, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled.

The Xu family.

The old lady quietly pushed open the door for the third time and glanced at the kang, what can I do, my daughter-in-law hasn't gotten up yet. She didn't dare to wake up, as if she was sleeping soundly.

But if you don't wake up, when will you have breakfast? The family waited for the food to gather people to paste the couplet, and after pasting, they had to let the three grandchildren drive to Xujiazhuang to worship their ancestors.

Besides, after a while, Erdao River will also put a big pig's head and a big fish, ready to sacrifice to the ancestors. Her family has an ancestral hall surnamed Xu in Xujiazhuang, but there is no need to offer incense to participate. But after all, the daughter-in-law is the leader of the village, so how can she do it if she doesn't take a look and don't summon her.

In the courtyard, Xu Tianxin chattered and talked to Yu Qinniang when he entered the courtyard, chatting about the incense case in the village has been placed, and he also smelled that Grandpa Zhai's house has come out of the smell of meat, and the Zhai family seems to want two meals to be mixed into one meal, because Grandpa Zhai and his cousin are going to clean up the large intestines of one hundred and ten catties and four pigs today.

In the afternoon, there were thirty-five tables of noodles ordered at the shop, and one of the dishes was fat sausages.

The shopkeepers of the two caravans were very generous, giving a table of fourteen ordinary vendors, and ordering a table of four dishes, braised large carp tofu vermicelli, chicken stewed mushrooms, fat sausages, and unlimited supplies of Grandpa Guan's homemade fish jelly, one jar of wine per table.

Another six tables were ordered for the Xu family's big banquet, with ten dishes on one table, and there was also a dish in it that was a fat sausage.

Therefore, Grandpa Zhai's cousins and two brothers specialize in washing the large intestine today, and one person has 200 copper plates for double the salary, and the old Zhai family also has children who will go to the Xu family to help later, and they are going to eat the afternoon meal together in the morning, and then even the dumplings in the middle of the night are best finished, and it is important to make money.

And what Lao Zhai's family thinks like this is not a family or two.

Xu Tianxin followed behind Qin Niang and was helping to bag the cabbage in the cellar.

Their Xu family even uses shredded cabbage in cold dishes in a laundry basin today, which shows how busy they are.

For fear of being tired, my family also wants to spend a new year. Like yesterday and this morning, including tomorrow's first day of breakfast, they were given to other families, and the Xu family didn't even sell bowls of noodles, just waiting for a break to earn dozens of tables of noodles.

Xu Tianxin took off his gloves and blew his little hands that were slowly frozen, and continued with Yu Qinniang: "Auntie, there are still performances, I just met a lot of grandmothers, and they also said that the family should eat early in order to earn chickens. When will we eat? ”

"Your grandmother said that when your uncles come back from the old house, our family will have to eat. Otherwise, even if you pick up fish and meat, cut vegetables and put them on plates, you will not be able to be busy. Be sure to let the guests eat at the right time. ”

After Yu Qinniang finished speaking, she urged Xu Tianxin:

"Come into the house quickly, and run out to watch the excitement before you can see the figure clearly in the morning, can it be cold? Hurry up and take off your shoes to warm up, you don't need it here. I'm done with the meat we're going to make, and when your milk comes up, your uncle and they also come back from the shop, and we'll have breakfast. ”

Xu Tianxin didn't explain, she got up early to help Liu Jingdong make up couplets.

Because she really couldn't stand it, Liu Jingdong copied the couplet according to his own home, and almost the whole village was about to paste it the same as Grandpa Lizheng's house, called: Renqin is early in three springs, the land is fertile and the grains are abundant, and there is a typo in it. It's also a bit unsightly to post dozens of houses.

Xu Tianxin's face was red from the cold and asked, "My milk hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

She's so lazy to get up.

Xu Tianxin was a little anxious, it couldn't be that he was uncomfortable, right?

Fortunately, when Xu Tianxin pushed the door in, Mrs. Xu had already woken up, and she was sitting cross-legged in the quilt in a daze, motionless.

"What's wrong, Grandma?"

"I had a bit of a dream, but I believed it."

Xu Tianxin is helpless, since they crossed here, there is also a magical live broadcast room, her milk is a little chattering, in the past, in modern times, she only believed in the God of Wealth.

For example, I once dreamed of seeing the original old lady. Xu Tianxin thought that it was a reflection of psychology, and he had just recognized three uncles as sons during that time, and he was under psychological pressure.

There was one more thing she was too embarrassed to say.

Not long ago, her grandmother had a dream that something was really buried under the tree in the backyard.

Listening to the grandmother at the table, her grandmother slept in the shop that night, and almost fell into the pot when she woke up. Then he hurried home to dig a tree.

Didn't we dig it earlier to bury the money? Nothing. Xu Tianxin wondered, how could he believe in a dream.

But grandma didn't say yes, and then she almost had to run to the roots of the tree and uproot it, so she was so anxious that the uncles couldn't do it, and asked rhetorically, first, this is planted by their eldest brother, what kind of tree is dug in the cold, and can you still live after digging? Can't move. Second, didn't the money have been dug up a long time ago?

She choked on her milk, and then let go of the big tree.

Unexpectedly, Chinese New Year's Eve dreamed again, Xu Tianxin sat on the side of the kang and said: "Milk, then you talk to me, I will help you analyze why you have this dream." ”

"Can't say. Say it, what if you break the sky. ”

"Oh, so evil?"

Unexpectedly, after Xu Tianxin teased, Mrs. Xu actually nodded seriously.

She couldn't tell her granddaughter that she actually dreamed of her eldest son Xu Youtian last night, yes, it was the excellent eldest son who had never met, who had become her own son, with gauze on his head, and a down jacket and hat on the outside of the gauze, as if he was very short of money, who lived in the hospital. Who didn't dream of it, anyway, he was waiting for urgent use, and he was writing couplets at the door of the community to make money.

That neighborhood is her old house in modern times.

After writing and walking, I walked as if I lacked heart, went to the underground wholesale city to carry goods for people, and was asked for wages by the noodle restaurant people when I went home after carrying it.

In the dream, she was in a hurry, there were bank cards and fixed deposit receipts stuffed under the mattress, can't you take the card to get some money? Wake her up.

After Mrs. Xu woke up, she thought back for a while that what she dreamed of was too bright, and it was also involved in her live broadcast room. also said that whether she can live well here or not will involve whether her eldest son can live well over there.

Anyway, the scene in the dream was too clear, so that she was angry, and the face of her eldest son against her own son was still so stupid, and she couldn't find anything, so she had a sense of substitution.

After a while, I felt that it was too nonsense, and I was embarrassed to tell my granddaughter, because I could guess what my granddaughter would complain about.

The granddaughter will definitely say, "Milk, you burned paper last night, and after burning this noodle and you are busy giving money to that noodle, you will only dream blindly at night."

Perhaps, I can't help it.

But Mrs. Xu still didn't plan to say it.

Because whether it's true or not, at least in this dream, life is better than anything else. It can be regarded as a relief, and I also dreamed of the face of my own son.

So Mrs. Xu smacked her tongue about her dream, and got up happily: "I'm going to fry croquettes and ring in a while, and then go to the shop after finishing the oil." Bao, what else do you want to eat, the milk is ready in advance. ”

Xu Tianxin climbed onto the kang and folded the quilt, and said with a smile: "Milk, I don't want to eat anything, our food is quite hard today." I just want to beg you to dream in the future, dream more and dream that I will soar. ”

"Cheng, grandma dreams of you being a princess tonight."

Xu Tianxin disdainful: "When the prince wants to recognize the emperor and the prince as his father." ”

She didn't admit it:

"Don't worry about that, you have to be managed, milk, you directly dream that I will be the queen."

Sister is the queen, she shines with confidence, she is rich and great, and she flies against the wind.

Mrs. Xu's laughter rang out.

I took the bird and just entered the yard, and I was happy to hear my mother's laughter.

The Xu family's Chinese New Year's Eve breakfast finally began.

In the morning, I ate braised saury, cabbage, tofu, pork belly, and rice.

This is all done by the old lady who gets up early.

The breakfast of the Chinese New Year's Eve is also exquisite.

Of course, you have to have conditions to pay attention to it.

If not, my family used to eat pickled wild vegetables and tofu with flatbread in the morning of the 30th.

However, it stands to reason that the local people, regardless of the conditions, should cook rice soup, put tofu and pickled wild vegetables in it, grind the rice into a pulp, and make a large pot to eat in the morning. But the emperor's surname was Zhou, so he didn't let the people drink porridge that morning, so he changed the tradition.

And what does the Xu family's breakfast represent?

Mrs. Xu deliberately turned on the live broadcast and asked her granddaughter to explain it to her family.

Xu Tianxin said while waiting for the meal: "The saury fish is also called the hairtail fish, and there is more than enough every year, with the meaning of surplus grain." Rice is dry rice, and it is dried to make money. And pork belly stewed cabbage stewed tofu, cabbage, baicai, tofu, pocket, as for pork belly...... It doesn't mean anything, my uncle wants to eat. ”

Xu Youyin pushed the door in: "What kind of thing, I want to eat?" ”

Xu Tianxin was caught: "It's nothing." ”

At breakfast, Mrs. Xu instructed her three sons:

"Wear warm, Tian Xin'er and I won't accompany you, I burned paper last night and I was weak and dreamed.

Without me to follow, you brothers will squeak more when you see people in Xujiazhuang, especially your third child.

Look at your squeak, not necessarily someone will praise you.

But if you don't say hello, the people in the village will say, "Whoever is small is nothing, or they will say that the eyes are long and the top of the head is on the top of the head, and no one knows how to squeak." ”

Xu Youyin and his mother gossiped and asked what else was similar.

Mrs. Xu was also in a good mood, and after glancing at her granddaughter, she said with a smile:

"Nothing like that.

But for example, our family's big treasure, this is something that everyone in our village knows the roots, so they don't pay attention to her.

Otherwise, if she gets up late and goes to bed early, even if she earns five hundred taels of silver at home a day, the people in the village will say that she is a lazy child.

He would only boast about going out early, working late at night, and earning ten copper plates a day would also praise him for being capable.

At our age, if you don't believe your grandmother, you are a matchmaker who praises the kind of young man and big girl in the back, regardless of earning more and earning less, and saying that you recognize it as an advantage. ”

"That's right." The old lady testified, so when she sees people, she has to have desserts, these are the key points of the countryman's view of people.

Xu Tianxin and Zhao Di looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and thought: She was the first to get up this morning. I also ran to send new bedding and couplets to Grandpa Guan's house.

If Grandpa Guan hadn't grabbed her, she was so moved that she squeaked and didn't say half a word, she could have done more work this morning.

Zhao Di couldn't help but laugh when she saw Tian Xin secretly roll her eyes.

Zhao Di can already sit on the edge of the kang to eat, simply pick vegetables, and help Dayue to watch the children, but she also has to take acupuncture and medicine every day.

Yesterday, Wang Di carried a lot of firewood to the New Year's ceremony, and she was happy to see Zhao Di raised so well. However, Wang Di didn't dare to sit more, and she was about to rush home after a few simple words. I also kowtow to the old lady seriously and worship the early years.

"Uncle, lean a little more to the side, you have to pair up with Shanglian." Xu Tianxin helped Zhao Di to stand at the door and read the couplet.

The couplet of the Xu family was written by Xu Tianxin first, and then forced the three uncles to write it according to the cat and the tiger.

When Xu Youcang wrote, his hands trembled as if he had Parkinson's, and he was afraid that if he stained the red paper, he would be blind to the paper and ink. But his niece didn't let him go, and why could the second brother write horizontal criticism, but he had a lot of words to write.

Xu Youyin also complained: "Our words are so ugly, post out the jokes of the people, or you can give us a face." ”

Xu Tianxin didn't care, grabbed her uncle's arm and asked her to write down the couplet: Abundant food and clothing.

Shanglian: Celebrate the abundance and sweetness of grains.

She's a doorman.

She and her aunt, the grandmother, as well as the bird and Sister Da Yue pasted the word blessing on the rice warehouse of the water tank warehouse.

The couplet Xu Tianxin gave to Grandpa Guan's family is: Happy harvest farmhouse, learn from all the people.

Xujiazhuang.

More than 400 people from the Xu family are kneeling in front of the grave, three gods and four ghosts, kowtowing to the sky, and kowtowing to the ancestors.

The Xu family was promoted to stand in the middle part, parallel to their uncle.

This is for the two to knock, let the grandfather and father and the ancestors follow them home for the New Year, and they also have to kowtow when they enter the ancestral hall, and they kowtow dozens of heads after a set of etiquette.
