As soon as they left, Yang Liufang was brought by Wang Shan's father with several leaders to toast, they all saw Wang Shan's newlywed furniture and came to invite Yang Liufang to make furniture. Yang Liufang, who is not strong enough to drink, has three cups and two stomachs, and he no longer knows the southeast and northwest. After getting drunk, all the business was approached by the village chief Shishi, who was not only the village leader, but also the foreman who brought people to work in the carpentry workshop in Yangliufang.

When Yang Liufang woke up, it was already noon on the 29th of the new year, because today was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the workers had already settled their holidays two days ago, and only the head of Shi Village was afraid that something would happen to him and accompanied him here. Yang Liufang had a headache like it exploded, got up and drank two bowls of water, and looked at the alarm clock on the radio, it was already 12:30. The stone village chief, who had just finished polishing the furniture, heard the noise and walked in.

"Brother, are you better?"

"Hmm." Yang Liufang rubbed his temples with both hands.

"You're too drunk! Gotta practice! ”

"You can't practice, Brother Shi! Get drunk when you drink it. Hahaha......"

"Yesterday, I received three sets of modular furniture, all of which were ordered, and I will ask you to measure it after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I didn't dare to negotiate the price, so you can communicate with others when the time comes. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shi."

"I'll go get us some food, and you'll be back as soon as you're done." Sister-in-law and Gava are estimated to be in a hurry at home. ”

"Your sister-in-law also said that you should go to my house for the New Year. Wang Shan, they also said please. ”

"Forget it, you all have a good reunion with your families, I can do it myself. Let's start work on the sixth day of the new year, don't delay Zhao Da's family to carry the furniture. By the way, you can take some meat and vegetables back for the New Year when you leave. ”

"In the past few months, I have been earning a lot with you, and your sister-in-law is ready. The people in the village also thank you, and the Chinese New Year is not so panicked. Well, everyone pooled the money and bought you two bottles of good wine. ”

"Oh, it's not easy for you, and you're so expensive. Besides, making money is also hard earned by everyone! ”

"A little caution on the part of Emeng. You just accept it, and practice your drinking amount during the Spring Festival. ”

"Brother Shi, don't mention it, I don't dare to drink it anymore."

After Yang Liufang washed his hands, he chatted with Brother Shi while washing rice and making rice, and did not wash until the rice was stuffy.

When stir-frying, he cut out an extra piece of meat, sorted out a bundle of celery and everything, and prepared to let the stone village chief take it back for the New Year. After the two finished eating, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Yang Liufang urged the stone village chief to go back quickly.

After the stone village chief left, Yang Liufang boiled a pot of water for himself, mixed a bucket of cold water with it, took a careful bath, changed into clean clothes, turned on the radio, and prepared to welcome the arrival of the New Year cleanly.

As soon as he cleaned up, he heard someone knocking on the door, Yang Liufang hurriedly went over to open the door, and saw that it was the aunt who was cooking, carrying a white towel and a rice bag, and hurriedly welcomed it in.

"Oh, boss, I won't go in, I wrapped Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings at home, I'm afraid that you won't get it alone, so I brought you a box." Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, I'll have to be busy when I go back. ”

"Then thank you, Auntie, and Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Boss, too!"

After sending off Auntie, Yang Liufang went back to eat dumplings, and someone knocked on the door just halfway through, and it turned out that Village Chief Zhao was here.

"Xiao Yang, have you eaten all this?"

"Yes, the village chief, the dumplings sent by Auntie."

"Put it away first, go to the Ejia family for the New Year, your sister Yinhua has gone out (married), and the Ejia family will have the Ejia and your aunt left. It's all set. ”

Living here and being taken care of by Village Chief Zhao, Yang Liufang couldn't refuse, so he brought the wine that the village chief and the workers bought together to give him, followed the village chief to his house, and accompanied the two old people for the New Year.

After a long journey of two days and two nights, Li Tongfu arrived in Hangzhou at 5:30 p.m. on the 26th of the lunar month. He bought a long-distance ticket back to Yueqing at a high price at Wulinmen Long-distance Station, and after a night of bumps, he arrived in Yueqing the next morning and transferred back to the town. I didn't pay much attention in the city, and when I returned to Yangshi Town, I found that there was a strong New Year's atmosphere here, every household hung lanterns, and the business of the storefront on the street in the town was still booming, and the liveliness was comparable to the wholesale market in Xizhou City. Seeing that he was carrying a large bag, a motorcycle driver came up on a motorcycle.

"Boss, Nihe (hello), have you made a fortune? Where to go? ”

"Liunan Village. Do you want to go? ”

"Let's go, 10 yuan."

"It's so expensive."

"New Year's Day, Wishing you prosperity!"

"Alright, let's go!" Li Tongfu sat up. The motorcycle carried Li Tongfu and two big bags and went straight to Liunan Village. Li Tongfu lived in the village for more than ten days, and the car was familiar with the road behind the way, and the motorcycle drove all the way to the door of Yangliufang's house. After paying the money, I put on my bag, and through the courtyard gate, I saw that on a rope pulled up in the yard, and under the eaves, there were bacon, dried ducks, and all kinds of fish. He thought that the old couple must have thought that he and his own son Yang Liufang were going back together, preparing so much.

He shouted through the door into the courtyard: "Godfather, godmother, I'm back." ”

When the old couple heard the shouting, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Alas, I'm looking forward to bringing you back!"

"Hey, what about Ah Fang?"

"Godmother, godfather, business is busy in the factory. The son of a leader got married the day after tomorrow, made furniture in his factory, and got married on the eighth day of the first month of the New Year. He has to take the workers to make furniture, and he can't come back to accompany the second elder for the New Year this year. ”

"Factory? What factory? ”

"You old man, let your son come in first." Mother Yang hurriedly opened the door, and Father Yang also hurriedly took a bag and carried it, and followed him into the yard.

"Godfather, godmother, Ah Fang is now bigger, he began to help the son of a village leader make furniture, because of his good skills, he did a lot of single jobs, and he was too busy to hire five or six people. I'm following him now. ”

"Sit down and drink water, Ah Fu, you're hungry all the way, you go get food for the child."

"Oh, I'd like to hear about it too! Son, come to the kitchen, your godmother will cook for you, and you will tell your godmother about Ah Fang. "I heard that Yang Liufang has opened a bigger factory, this good news offsets the old man's miss for his son, who doesn't hope that his son will get ahead outside?

"Okay, godmother! I'm going to light the fire. ”

"You don't need you, you sit next to you and drink water, and tell me about you and Ah Fang. Old man, you come and light the fire, and get a stool for your son. ”

In the kitchen, a family of three turned on the coal stove and earthen stove, and listened to Ah Fu tell the story of him and Ah Fang in Xizhou while cooking. Li Tongfu added oil and vinegar, and when it came to the nervous place, the adoptive mother was so worried that she forgot to turn over the pot, and half of the yellow croaker was mush. Talking about their happiness in Xizhou and the career they have done step by step, the old couple smiled heartily. At that moment, the aroma of food and laughter filled the small courtyard of Yangliu Fang's house.

"Then Xizhou is colder than us here in Wenzhou, right?"

"Godmother, it's much colder, you don't know that every time I go out to sell goods, I wear the sheepskin jacket that people gave to Ah Fang, and I have to wrap in a military coat. Every time I come back, my hands and feet are numb! ”

"My son, how many quilts do you have to cover to fall asleep!"

"Godfather, it's not cold when you get back to the room, and we use charcoal to burn the big kang in the room. When it was hot, they had to work bare-chested, and we all burned our backs when we slept at night, which Alfon said was like cupping. ”

"Oh, that's fine."

"And how do you eat so many of you?"

"Mom and Dad, we didn't expect it at first, but when we came, we found that steaming a pot of rice was not enough to eat. The cooking aunt who was invited to make noodles for everyone on the first day, but I wasn't at home. Zangzi noodles, godmother, is a kind of noodles in the northwest with vegetables and soup as toppings, but Yang Liufang took the workers to eat, and the people's arms were tired and swollen, and they almost died. ”

"Oops, this stupid son. If only he had to be half as sensible as you. Mother Yang said with a doting smile.

"Godmother, we ate a big pot of vegetables and rice later, and we never ate Zangzi noodles again."

"Will it be delicious?"

"It's cold, and this stew is good."

The family of three chatted for a while, and soon made garlic money fish skin, dry roast duck, braised pork ribs, braised hairtail fish, Wenzhou fish ball soup, four dishes and one soup meat-based, fish-based coastal special dishes, compared with the big pot dishes in the Xizhou woodworking courtyard, much more delicious. People who travel far away, no matter how far they go, will always keep a hometown stomach.
