In the kitchen, pork, beef, fish and chicken are always the protagonists, and winter dishes such as white and radish are indispensable.

After a while, the table was full.

Stir-fried yellow beef, pork ribs and winter melon soup, back to the pot meat, fish tofu, kung pao chicken, Xiangxi grandmother's vegetables, winter bamboo shoots and mutton and a large bowl of cauliflower.

Finally, there is the refreshing sour radish.

Yu Guanzhi couldn't get his hands on it, washed the dishes and chopsticks, put the rice and wine, and sat next to him to watch him come and go.

When eating, she especially likes back to the pot meat, grandmother's vegetables and winter bamboo shoots and mutton, and she also eats a lot of sour radish.

She said: "After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for so many years, you are the most suitable for my taste, and successfully overturned my nostalgia for Huaiyang cuisine in the past." ”

Lu An scooped her a spoonful of fish tofu with a spoon: "Actually, this fish jelly is the essence, I love this tone, you try it." ”

Yu Guanzhi said: "I can see that you were very careful when you cooked fish yesterday, and other dishes will more or less put seasonings appropriately."

But you only put salt and fish fragrant leaves, not even oil, it seems that you have a pursuit of milky white fish soup. ”

Lu An nodded: "When I was a child, my family was poor, every Chinese New Year, fish jelly is the dish I look forward to the most, and the rest can not be eaten, but fish jelly must come to a bowl, just use your mouth on the edge of the bowl, it is really delicious to the depths of the soul." ”

Yu Guanzhi is more fond of fish. After all, she lives in Shanghai and is rich in fish resources by the sea, but she used to eat steamed and boiled fish, and she had never eaten frozen fish, and it was the first time she had seen this kind of fish fragrant leaves.

She tried to scoop a spoonful with a spoon and put it in her mouth, her beautiful red lips pursed, and then there was a light in her eyes, and she said with a smile:

"No wonder you only put fish fragrant leaves, this is the soul, it is indeed delicious."

In the custom, it is called the first five broken harmony.

Before the fifth day of the new year, it is easy not to visit another house, because the main family has to send you things.

It's okay if you meet a generous person, and you don't care about a drawer of peanuts and melon seeds.

If you're stingy, then I can't tell how you'll be arranged behind the scenes. It is light to scold you for being ignorant, but if it is serious, it will say that you are deliberately asking for things and calling you a "beggar".

After eating, the two decided to take a walk along Taohuaping Street to eliminate food, but when they went out, they met Li Dong's family to pay New Year's greetings.

Seeing Lu An and Yu Guanzhi pressing the road side by side, Li Dong's face, which was still full of happiness a second ago, instantly turned into a coffin shop, and the complaining eyes that looked at the two of them read the words "Lao Tzu is out of love again".

"Li Dong, happy New Year, everything goes well."

"Happy New Year, brother, and I wish you a happy love."

Lu An grinned, and didn't say anything about Li Dong's thoughts. took Yu Guanzhi around, but he didn't dare to stay outside for a long time, this woman's body bones have not healed yet.

After nine o'clock, the sound of firecrackers subsided a lot, and the two took the opportunity to go home to make up for sleep.

For the next two days, both of them were reading books, and one was reading textbooks on the table of the Eight Immortals, preparing for the college entrance examination.

One reads famous books on the sofa and watches Dream of Red Mansions.

In the middle, Yu Guanzhi suddenly asked him: "Lu An, how is your level of Chinese painting?" ”

Lu An didn't speak, but came to the bedroom and sketched a simple "Spring River Map".

Hand it to her: "How's it going?" ”

Yu Guanzhi took a serious look at it for a long time, and said: "It's better than I imagined." ”

Then she asked, "Can I take this painting with me?" and I suddenly thought of an elder and asked him to take a look. ”

Thinking of the 5 sets of whiteboards and the signing and cooperation between the two, Lu An gave her a direct gift very generously.

The third day of the first month.

At breakfast, Yu Guanzhi said: "The first lottery of stock subscription warrants is on March 2, and you had better get a BB machine to facilitate our contact." ”

Lu An felt that this was reasonable, "Cheng, I'll handle it in a few days." ”

After dinner, after packing up their things, the two went out of Guifei Lane.

On the occasion of separation, Yu Guanzhi said: "Thank you, let me have a special year, see you next time." ”

"Okay, goodbye, have a nice trip."

Hurried to the station, Lu An looked for it with uncertainty, and sure enough, there was a shuttle. However, it only leads to Liudu Village, and you have to transfer to the car later.

"Master, how do you charge for Liudu Village?"

"Fixed price, 25."

This is a robbery, Lu An slandered in his heart, he had no temper, and obediently counted the money and got into the car.

But the car is good, the new car, the smell of oil is not rushed. Because he came early, he also picked up a front passenger seat.

It took nearly 2 hours to Liudu Village, and it took more than 40 minutes to transfer to Jianhua, but someone was repairing the road. But looking at this efficiency, it is estimated that it will not be possible in ten days and a half months.

After some tossing, it was already past noon when he returned to the town, he first called home, and when he learned that the eldest sister and the younger sister were at the sister-in-law's house, he was not in a hurry to go back.

So I turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Walking around inside, he took two packets of sugar, two cigarettes, two bottles of wine and a firecracker, and came out with a bag.

Passing by the place where the meat was sold, he asked the butcher to cut 5 catties of meat in the good position.

The Meng family's hometown is not very far from the town, about 3 miles away, and although the big bags and small bags are carried in the snow, they walk slowly, but they also arrive in 20 minutes.

From a distance, I saw a bunch of little children playing firecrackers gathered at the door of Meng's house, and there was a familiar girl among them, I wanted to say hello, but I didn't expect people to throw a cannon directly at him.

Tsk, the county magistrate is playing majestic in front of the door, and he really can't wait for his mother.

Seeing that the cannon battle had reached his feet, Lu An pretended to be frightened, saw that this group of bear children laughed happily, and scolded him for cowardly.

Meng Wenjie just came out to take out the garbage, and when he saw him, he threw away the dustpan, and hurriedly walked over to receive the gifts, and his mouth was still chattering:

"Why did you come back? Qing Shui is still thinking about going to your house today, if you hadn't gone to Baoqing, she would have already gone. ”

Afraid that this brother-in-law would be suspicious, Lu An didn't dare to ask Sister Qingchi first this time, "Where is Qing Shui?" ”

Meng Wenjie turned back to the second floor and pouted: "Accompany a few aunts to play cards on the second floor." ”

Glancing at the window on the second floor, Lu An lit the firecracker and followed him into the courtyard.

Hey, it's not the right time.

The Meng family is worthy of being a big family, many relatives came today, as soon as he entered, there was a person inside, they all looked at him, exchanged heads and ears, and talked about it.

One of the older men also handed over a cigarette: "Lu An, Wishing you prosperity!" Come, smoke a cigarette. ”

Lu An is inexplicably wonderful, and his heart is strange.

He is not particularly strangers to these people, he is an old face, after all, they often come to the Meng family. At first, out of politeness, these people would ask him who he was, but after learning about his family background, they changed their appearance, and later when they met again at the Meng family, they just glanced at him, and even if it was a problem, how could they take the initiative to talk like now?

Not to mention the fucking handing out cigarettes.

In the past, in the face of these people, although Lu An could not talk about inferiority, he was more or less uncomfortable, after all, the people who could enter the gate of the Meng family at the beginning of the year were all relatives of the Meng family, and they all found something to do under the protection of Meng Zhenhai, either a supply and marketing cooperative, a post office, or a bank.

These units may not be enough to see the Meng family, but as soon as you go out, it is also quite decent work, and it is also superior.

What's more, it also has to walk with the nose facing the sky.

Because she was often cold-hearted in the Meng family, and because she was often treated as a transparent person, Lu Yan, who had a strong temperament, never came again after worshipping the Meng family for two years.

Even if the Meng family of 5 treated her well, she still didn't want to come again, she was really angry and cried because of the ignorance of those people.

In the next ten years, Lu An was moving around, which is why the Meng family was very good to him, but he was relatively cold to Lu Yan.

Although I know that Lu Yan is a little girl and doesn't care, people's hearts are long, there will always be intimacy, and there will always be favoritism towards people who are close to him.

Originally, according to his youthful nature, the smoke sent to him would not be a bird.

But the current Lu An is no longer the Lu An of the past, because so many people are watching, because Meng Wenjie is there, the capital reaches out and doesn't hit the smiling person, not to mention that it is the beginning of the year, he still pretended to be polite and took the cigarette, and returned a happy New Year.

The people in the room are different, different from before, don't say it, take the initiative to talk to him, everywhere he looks, all he sees are smiling faces, whether men or women, young or old, there are flowers on their faces, and the smile is so blooming that he is about to laugh.

The living men all took the initiative to scatter cigarettes for Lu An, set almost,

There was also a middle-aged aunt who stared straight at him, and said at the end: "Lu An, have you dealt with someone?" ”

Lu An looked at the other party with a confused expression.

The middle-aged aunt's operation in the next second made him even more confused, only to see someone pull his hand to the right, pull over a young woman next to him, and enthusiastically introduced:

"My youngest daughter, Kiki, just graduated from secondary school this year and works at the IRS."

A room full of people: ."

Luan: "."

Damn, he knows this Kiki, before he read a book in his previous life, the other party never said a word to him, but today, hey, hey, I'm still shy.

This is really a change in the hearts of the world, and he has become confused.

There were a lot of people in the hall, and Lu An greeted him all the way, his mouth was about to stiffen, and his papier-mâché smile was about to break.

But fortunately, Meng Wenjie came forward in time and pulled him upstairs.

Coming to the corner of the stairs, Lu An laughed at himself: "You help me see my face, is it more beautiful than before?" ”

Meng Wenjie laughed when he heard this, and told him: "The fact that you have made a lot of money by painting is spreading everywhere, and now you are the most popular person in the town." ”

"Yes, no wonder people want to marry their daughters to me." Lu An said.

Meng Wenjie stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "If Qing Shui hears this, I, as a big brother, can't protect you." ”

The downstairs is full of people, and there are quite a few upstairs.

However, those who can drink tea and chat on the sofa on the second floor are basically Meng Wenjie's aunts and uncles, and they are the closest ones in the Meng family.

"Yo! Let's see who's coming, come, let my aunt take a good look. Li Meng smiled and poured him a cup of tea, and then joked like this.

She liked Lu An very much when she was a child, and the reason is not much to say, in a word: the face is good, which suits her temper.

Li Meng used to use "handsome man" to shabu him.

"Auntie, Happy New Year!"

Then he also joked: "Don't look like that, you won't be able to run in the future anyway." ”

Li Meng was happy to hear it, she knew about her little daughter and him, but she never objected.

even said to her husband Meng Zhenhai in private: "If Lu An has a future interest, I will give him Qingshui." ”

At this time, Meng Zhenhai will ask: "What is the meaning of being promising, and what is your standard for promising?" ”

Li Meng said without thinking: "Admitted to university." ”

In the concept of their generation, being able to get into college is a success.

After all, college students in this year, graduation package allocation, it is really a glance everywhere you go, and you can eat it wherever you go.

Hearing the standard of Mrs., Meng Zhenhai was often silent.

Li Meng teased and asked, "What, you can't look down on it?" This is your best friend's son, and that's how you treat it? ”

Meng Zhenhai shook his head: "It's not that I can't look down on it, but you are too one-sided and too anxious." Whether it's Lu An or Qing Shui, I'm old there, I haven't seen a bigger stage yet, and I won't be able to meet a more suitable one in college in the future. And"

Li Meng asked, "And how?" ”

Meng Zhenhai said: "I have been observing over the years, Qing Shui is more active, and Lu An is more introverted. ”

Li Meng reacted: "Are you saying that Lu An may change his mind in the future?" ”

Meng Zhenhai did not refute or admit it.

Li Meng slapped the table, "He dares, if he has this dog guts, I won't allow him to enter the Meng family." ”

Whenever this time, Meng Zhenhai smiled and said: "It's coming, it's coming, your quick temper is here again." ”

After saying a few thoughtful words to Li Meng, Lu An greeted the others on the sofa again.

At the end, I glanced around, and I didn't see Sister Qingchi, but I saw Meng Qingshui who was looking at him at a glance, who was playing cards and couldn't leave, otherwise he would have come over early in the morning.

Feeling those eyes full of strong emotions, Lu An sighed secretly, walked over and asked:

"Did you win today?"
