"Come on, cabbage dumplings. This is sauerkraut dumplings. Let's see who's lucky! ”

The dumplings at noon were cooked, and the eldest sister served them out, joking at a few people with a smile.

"This, this darker color is cabbage meat dumplings."

Kiko happily took one, dipped it in some soy sauce vinegar, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

"Whew~~ It's delicious, it's almost like meat."

While eating, he smiled happily.

Where is this meat?

It's dumplings wrapped with chopped fritters and cabbage, posing as meat.

The taste is still quite good.

Usually the fritters are quite popular, but they are even more out of stock during the holidays, because many families buy fritters as meat to make dumplings or buns.

Everyone else was there eating happily.

"Tsk~~ This dumpling is wine, the more you drink, the more you have!"

Yang Guangzhi took a sip of wine and shook his head in enjoyment.

Wang Qiuju pursed her lips, "Look at your virtue, bring you two more garlic cloves, and that's all it takes." ”

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi smiled proudly, poured another wine cup for his small wine cup, and then put the wine bottle away.

Two taels a meal, and don't drink too much.

After taking a bite of the dumplings, he said; "This dumpling without garlic cloves does have a little less taste. But where did the garlic cloves come from in this winter! ”

Wang Qiuju ignored him.

looked at the eldest brother who was eating dumplings there and asked, "Hey, boss, I want to ask you something~"

The eldest brother was eating dumplings, and when he heard this, he was at a loss.

"What's the matter? Mother! ”

Wang Qiuju chewed the dumplings and asked with a smile: "It's not too big for the New Year, it's not too big for the New Year, it's also 20 in your household registration book, and the boss is not small, do you have anything to look at in the factory?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest brother was a little twisted: "Mother~~ Where do I have it!" ”

And the others looked at each other and couldn't help but snicker there.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Wang Qiuju's face turned pale: "What are you laughing at?" Your brother is so old, what's so funny about marrying a daughter-in-law? ”

Yang Xiaole sandwiched a sauerkraut bun and took a bite.

Then he shook his head speechlessly.

The eldest brother's hukou office is two years older, and he will indeed be 20 next summer.

Even according to the real age, next year will be 18.

If you don't look for a daughter-in-law at the age of 16 in the countryside, it means that the man has a problem, either the family is too poor, or the man is defective.

Of course, it's the same for women.

If it weren't for the rush into the city, it is estimated that the eldest brother and eldest sister would have begun to look for a partner, and even the eldest brother would have already gotten married.

This is about to reach the legal age of marriage, so it's no wonder that the old lady is not in a hurry.

No one could stop him from finding a daughter-in-law for his eldest son.

Wang Qiuju glared at a few people, relieved the embarrassment of the boss, and then turned his head to look at Yang Xiaogang: "Boss, let's talk about it, if there is, you ask your Uncle Chen to help pull a line, and if you don't have a mother, I will give you Zhang Luo Zhang Luo." ”

When the eldest brother heard this, he was helpless for a while: "Mother, what are you anxious about?" I'm not of legal age yet! We'll talk about it later. ”

"Hey, you kid, how can you not be in a hurry! How old are you? ”

Wang Qiuju scolded angrily, and then said: "If you have it, just say it, if it is successful, if it doesn't work, we will quickly find others, but there is one point, if you are looking for it, you have to find the right person." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest brother's eating movements slowed down a little.

Too lazy to talk to him.

Continue eating.

"Mother, my eldest brother has a favorite object."

In the middle of her thoughts, Kiko suddenly said.

"Huh? Who is it? ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju hurriedly turned her head and asked Xizi.

When the eldest brother heard this, he was flustered and glared at him: "Xizi, what nonsense are you talking about!" When did I have a partner? ”

"You...... Don't speak, let Kiko speak! ”

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju hurriedly stopped him.

The eldest brother was choked when he heard this, and glared at Kiko.

Seeing his gaze, Kiko pursed her lips and continued to eat dumplings.

Wang Qiuju saw his actions and hurriedly urged: "Xizi, what is going on?" It's okay, you said he didn't dare to hit you, he beat you, you tell me! ”

Hearing that there was an old lady supporting her, Xizi looked at her eldest brother and smiled.

"Brother, this is what my mother wants me to say!"

teased for a moment, and then said: "I heard the eldest brother and the second brother say that the other day, one of them is called Ding...... Ruolan's. Big brother, right. ”

I didn't forget to ask my eldest brother.

Then there was no further talk.

When the eldest brother heard this, he was embarrassed when he saw the inquiring gaze of the old lady.

A little embarrassed, he said, "It's not an object." ”

Seeing the expression of the eldest son, Wang Qiuju understood in her heart, it is estimated that she has met someone she likes, but she doesn't know what the other party means.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "That Ding ...... Ding, what's coming, Kiko. ”

"Ding Ruolan."

Kiko hurriedly answered and continued to eat.

"Hey, yes, Ding Ruolan." After Wang Qiuju asked, she looked at her eldest son: "Boss, tell me, what's the situation in her family?" If you don't say it, I'll go to your Uncle Chen and ask! ”

Hearing this, the eldest brother watched a group of people staring at him.

After thinking for a while, she said: "Her mother is the director of our factory trade union (it should be the chief chair, but these two words are more sensitive, so let's change the word.) ）。 ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju was surprised; "Ah, such a big leader?"

After being here for so long, she is not a little white face who doesn't understand anything.

The director of the trade union of a state-owned factory, who is a member of the factory committee, is generally at the level of deputy secretary of the factory, and is theoretically at the same level as the director of the factory.

The secretary of the factory was transferred, and the director of the trade union was not out of the question.

"Hmm!"

The eldest brother nodded slightly.

Getting this answer, Wang Qiuju was entangled for a while.

If this were an ordinary person, Chen Dalin would still be able to pull the strings, but now that there is a person of the same level, how can this be matched?

It's almost the same as Chen Dalin's marriage.

"Boss, you're ...... Aren't you a toad and want to eat swan meat~"

After holding back for a long time, Wang Qiuju suddenly came to say this.

"Poof~~cough~~cough~~"

When the others heard this, they suddenly sneered.

The eldest sister was coughing there.

The eldest sister coughed a few times and drank some water, and then she couldn't help but say: "Mother, after holding it for a long time, you came to this sentence!" You say that about your own son! ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju rolled her eyes.

"Am I wrong? If this is put aside, even if the Ding family is not a relative of the emperor, then it can be regarded as a high-ranking official, we are ordinary people, why should we marry others? The door is not the right one. ”

The eldest sister muttered when she heard this: "This is a new society, and you still look at people with the previous concepts?" ”

"Tsk~~"

The old lady sighed, and then said: "New society? What's wrong with the new society? ”

took a bite of dumplings and said: "Let's not talk about other vain heads, other people's families, don't talk about others, the family conditions must be very good, do people marry their daughters to you to be wronged?" ”

Then he snapped his fingers and gestured there: "Most of the good bride prices of our ordinary people are four projects, those who can produce 36 legs are in good condition, and few have 72 legs." But look at those big cadres, everyone is three turns and one ring, do ordinary people suffer? ”

Speaking of this, I looked at the radio in the house, and then I remembered, and said, "Oh, I forgot, there is a ring in our house, and there is a turn of Xiaole." But look at what the bike has broken into. ”

"Mother, this radio and bicycle are made by Xiaole, do you still want to give this to your eldest brother as a dowry?"

When the eldest sister heard this, she smiled and made a joke.

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju glared at her, "Why don't I just talk about it!" I didn't say that I would give this to your eldest brother as a bride price. ”

Then he continued: "Also, look at the clothes worn by those cadres at home, when their daughters come, can you still dress them too badly?" You said that there is no door, why not? ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole waved his hand and said: "Hey, mother, if you want to give the radio to the eldest brother, give it to him, and when I get married, it will take more than ten years, and I don't know if I can use it." ”

Wang Qiuju nodded lightly when she heard this.

looked at Yang Xiaogang, who didn't speak: "Boss, I don't mean anything else, so what's your situation now?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest brother smiled awkwardly: "Mother, don't worry about it!" ”

"I don't care, how can I not care? I ......"

Wang Qiuju muttered a little and was about to continue, but seeing Yang Xiaole's expression, she thought about it and stopped talking.

I don't know what the third child's eyes mean.

The eldest brother saw that the old lady didn't say anything, although he didn't know why, but he was still relieved.

After eating, Wang Qiuju still had to go to work, and the matter of washing the dishes was naturally left to the eldest sister.

"Xiaole, come here!"

Wang Qiuju was about to leave, but when she was leaving, she still called Yang Xiaole over.

After seeing that the boss in the house didn't come out, he asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by giving me a look just now?" ”

As he spoke, he wore gloves.

Yang Xiaole walked out of the hall, and when he heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not interesting!" I'm just asking you to stop talking about it, and next time you ask if you can stop in front of so many people! The eldest brother is the eldest in the family, you save some face for him! ”

Wang Qiuju pondered for a moment when she heard this, and nodded lightly: "Well, what you said is also true, when I come back in the evening, I will ask." ”

Then he thought of something and said: "By the way, you have nothing to do today anyway, you go and ask your brother and ask what the situation is, if not, you can ask your Uncle Chen." ”

"Mother, aren't you embarrassing me!"

Yang Xiaole glanced at her speechlessly, and then said, "If you want to ask yourself, I'll ask, how embarrassing." ”

"I don't care about this, you have the most ideas in the family, and your Uncle Chen also likes you the most, I won't let you let anyone go."

After Wang Qiuju finished speaking, she straightened her hat, raised her feet and left.

Looking at the back of the old lady leaving, the corners of Yang Xiaole's mouth twitched.

Shake your head and come back directly.

When I came back, I saw that my eldest brother was squatting on the side of the kang and pouting his buttocks, cleaning up the coal ash in the kang hole.

glanced at it, went directly to lie on the kang, and asked, "Hey, big brother, tell me what the situation is between you and Ding Ruolan?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest brother glanced up and shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

After saying that, he continued to clean up his things.

Yang Xiaole crossed Erlang's legs and shrugged: "You have figured it out yourself!" This is what Lafayette ordered, let me ask, and let me go to your factory to find Uncle Chen. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest brother was startled: "Hey, don't! Don't ask! ”

"Then tell me about it! Is the falling flowers intentionally ruthless, or is someone beating the mandarin ducks? ”

Yang Xiaole muttered, and then said: "If people are not interesting to you, then I can't help it, if her mother stops me, I can help you." ”

The eldest brother was entangled for a while when he heard this, and finally shook his head: "You ask me, I don't know." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole patted his head speechlessly: "Brother, what are you asking me to say about you?" You've been giving away a lot of things these months, haven't you? ”

Ever since I had given him something for the first time.

I'll get it for him every once in a while.

It's been so long, and I haven't figured out anything.

Also drunk.

The eldest brother smiled a little embarrassedly: "I really don't know!" ”

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while.

Then I didn't bother to ask.

"Okay, I'm done, let's go!"

In the middle of my thoughts, the voice of the eldest sister came from outside.

I saw the eldest sister wash the dishes and chopsticks, hang up the apron, and go to the basin to wash her hands.

Seeing that they could go, Xizi and Xiaoli were all happy for a while, and began to prepare with a roar.

Put on your gloves, get dressed and grab your skates.

Wheat's skates were naturally the simple skates he brought back when he came back in the morning.

Yang Xiaole went to the backyard and called Liu Jiefang.

After a while, a lot of people in the compound who heard the movement came out, and they went to Shichahai together, and they should have been preparing to go there a long time ago.

Everyone else came by bus.

Yang Xiaole rode a bicycle alone.

When we arrived at the place, the skating rink was blocked by a pile of bamboo mats, and there was a road in the middle leading inside.

A crowd of people were rushing inside.

More than half of them are young people.

Park your car and come to the entrance.

Yang Xiaole set his eyes on the shed at the door, because at this time, there was a middle-aged old man who was sharpening his ice blades there.

I haven't seen it before.

There are also many young people around the shed.

These people have a characteristic, that is, the clothes are all bright and bright, which is very different from ordinary cotton cotton clothes.

There is also a big difference in materials.

Not to mention anything else, these people basically wear felt velvet hats.

Ordinary people wear dogskin hats.

Because skates are not played by ordinary people at all.

"Hey, uncle, are you successful in this craft? Why haven't I seen you before? ”

A young man looked at the master who was sharpening his knife and asked with a smile.

The other party raised his head and said with a smile: "This is from the city, I haven't actually got it before, I used to use kitchen knives." No, there was no one here to sharpen the skates, so they trained me for a few days and let me come over. ”

As he spoke, he was grinding there.

Obviously, you can still see that the craftsmanship is a little rusty.

"What to do? Grinding or not grinding? ”

Someone next to him was muttering there.

"Grind, what if you don't grind? I haven't worn it once since I bought it! ”

"Grind, I just watched it, and the grinding is okay, at least it's better than grinding it ourselves."

The others were talking about it as well.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it and waited there with the ice blade in his hand.

The skate blades given by Su Ling last year are still in the space.

But my feet have grown a lot, and I naturally bought a few last time I went to Hong Kong Island, just to use them in the future.

As for Su Ling's, I will return it to her when I think of it one day.

When I waited, I saw a few familiar people sporadically, but I couldn't name them.

I guess it's either from the school, or from the alley.

"Uncle Haozi?"

In the midst of his thoughts, in the crowd at the door, a girl stuck out her head and shouted at him, as if to confirm it.

Yang Xiaole turned around and saw the other party smile: "Yingzi, you are here too!" Where's your brother? ”

The other party is Lin Junsheng's sister, Yingzi.

Yingzi was wearing a flower cotton jacket and smiled: "My brother is in there!" Say I'll be waiting for you here! He said you appointed. ”

"Oh, wait for me here?"

Yang Xiaole was surprised, "What's wrong?" Is there something to find me? ”

Yingzi smiled when she heard this, and said, "It's okay! Just let me wait here and see, let me wait a while and go in and play. ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Oh, that's it!" It's okay, you go play, I'm with my sister and them, I'll wait for them. Tell your brother and them to leave me alone. ”

I don't know if I'm afraid that I'm fighting with someone here.

After all, there was a conflict at the ice rink last year.

Hearing this, Yingzi nodded with a smile: "Hey, okay, then I'm going to play!" You're busy. ”

Then he said hello and left.

Yang Xiaole watched him leave and took his gaze back.

After waiting for a while, he saw a figure in the crowd that attracted his attention.

Ding Ruolan!

At this time, there were three or four young people of the same age as her beside the other party, and one of them was the Xie Baoshun who met Lao Mo last time.

I don't know anything else.

In fact, he was also quite curious, whether this Ding Ruolan was interested in his eldest brother.

It's the big brother hanging like a white lotus.

It's still interesting to the eldest brother, but it's not embarrassing to say it, after all, the eldest brother is so hanging, it is unlikely that he will directly open his mouth to chase people.

A few people on the other side laughed and went in.

I didn't recognize him, after all, the wrap was like a dumpling, and the last time the two of them met was a year ago.

He didn't mean to go up and say hello.

After waiting for a few minutes, I saw the eldest brother and them coming from outside.

"Xiaole, Xiaole!"

The eldest sister shouted when she saw him there, waving her gloved hand at him.

After Yang Xiaole came over, he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Let's go, go over and buy a ticket to go in." ”

Then a few people went over to buy tickets and went directly to the ice rink.

When I entered the ice rink, it was very lively, and there were people everywhere.

There are young people holding hands in the siege circle, and there are middle-aged and even elderly people with children, who sit on wooden ice carts and are pulled to play.

In fact, most people don't know how to slip very well.

After Yang Xiaole followed the crowd in, he began to change his shoes on the side.

"Xiaole, where did you get these shoes?"

Seeing his shoes, the eldest sister came over strangely.

Yang Xiaole said nonsense while changing his shoes: "Oh, I just ran to borrow it from a friend." ”

The eldest sister stared at it for a while, and was curious: "This ...... Is this comfortable to wear? ”

It wasn't just him, everyone else leaned over to take a look.

Kiko's saliva is about to flow: "This is the skin!" I want it too! ”

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes when he heard this.

looked at the eldest brother who was staring at him next to him, and said, "Big brother, Ding Ruolan is also here!" ”

"Huh?"

When the eldest brother heard this, he was startled and hurriedly looked around.

Then he licked his lips: "That, Xiaole, you go down to play, I'll go to the toilet, and I'll be over in a while." You don't have to worry about me. ”

After that, you have to get up.

Yang Xiaole looked at the eldest brother's behavior for a while.

Nervous about what?

Even if you meet someone you like, you won't be so nervous, it's obviously to avoid each other.

Confession rejected?

Thinking of this, he shook his head, with the courage of the eldest brother, it is unlikely that he will confess.

Together?

No, it won't!

Looking at the eldest brother who fled in the wilderness, Yang Xiaole's eyes were suspicious.
