Yang Xiaole looked at Qu Ying next to him who was also cooking there, and walked over with a smile.

At this time, he suddenly thought of a problem, last time he said that he took Qu Ying to fish, but in the end he suddenly ran away, but he didn't succeed.

But it's all the New Year, and I definitely can't go over to get it anymore.

"What's delicious?"

Qu Ying naturally saw him a long time ago, and while opening the lid of the steaming pot, she pressed the steamed bun with her hand.

Without raising his head, he smiled and said, "What can I eat, steamed buns!" ”

I felt that it was a little less interesting, so I closed the lid and put a clean rag around the lid.

Only then did he raise his head and smile: "Didn't you go to Shanghai!" Why is the face blown like this, listening to the people in our factory, they are not as cold as ours! ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled: "How do I know this!" Maybe the water and soil are not adapted, or it is by the sea over there, and the wind is strong, so it will blow! ”

Since there is a confidentiality agreement, he naturally won't talk nonsense.

But these words really made Qu Ying believe it a little.

"Really? Is it windy by the sea? I've never seen the sea like before! I know that the water of the sea is blue, which is beautiful. ”

There was still a hint of longing on his face.

Yang Xiaole smiled: "How do I know this!" I'm here to have something, not to go sightseeing! ”

He hadn't seen it either.

Except on the photos.

In my previous life, I did go to Shanghai.

There are also some seaside beaches nearby.

But at that time, I was a dick working man, and I didn't have a girlfriend or children, so who would I take to play?

How many big men enjoy the sunrise?

!

Qu Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and said to him, "There are peanuts and melon seeds in the house, you can go and eat them." ”

"No, you can keep it for yourself!"

"It's okay! I'm just alone, and I have a lot of family, so I can't share much! ”

Peanuts and melon seeds, like eggs before, are divided by household, not by head, and there are naturally more people per capita.

Because of this, it has been complained about by ordinary people, especially the one with a large population.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was not polite.

He went into the house, grabbed a handful, peeled peanuts there, and ate them.

After eating a few of them, he laughed: "These peanuts you fried yourself?" It's all mushy!! ”

Qu Ying smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard this: "I rarely fry this thing, my mother used to fry it, and I usually eat in the canteen." Next time I go to the grocery store and buy the fried ones. ”

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Indeed, if it weren't for the recent difficulties, the above avoided people eating double food, and also collected food stamps, and many people would be willing to go to the canteen to eat.

There are also fried peanuts in grocery stores, and you have to get a non-staple food license to buy them.

The price is just high.

But fortunately, they are all fried by hand, and there are few pastes.

Glancing at the house, there were four dishes in total.

Stir-fried salted fish, radish ball soup, a stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a minced vermicelli.

Fans are available in almost every family, because this is the amount in the non-staple food certificate, although there are not many.

The amount of several dishes is also very small.

At this time, Uncle Wang's house, Aunt Wang was holding a spatula and was distributing peanuts and melon seeds to her son, daughter-in-law, and some grandchildren.

One shovel per person.

And this is still counted, and it has to be the same.

Whoever takes a deflated peanut is not happy, and clamoring for another one.

Stayed there for a while, then came back.

Kiko didn't know where she came back from.

After coming back, he looked at his mother and said with a smile: "Mother, I told my second and third children that they might come to our house to play after dinner and give you New Year's greetings." I'm the boss, come to our house first! ”

These words made Wang Qiuju couldn't help but be happy.

Shook his head speechlessly: "Brother Yet!" Okay, I know, I'll leave a little candy and peanut seeds for a while, okay! ”

In rural areas, students generally go to school much later than in cities, so Kiko is older than people in the same grade.

This is better, the gap between the two years just liberated is really big!

At that time, it was stipulated that the age of entry to elementary school was 6 years old and under 12 years old, so there were 12-year-olds and 6-year-olds in the class.

In other words, some of the sixth graders are 17 or 18 years old.

It's only then that the rest of the day starts to get better.

Hearing this, Kiko nodded happily: "Mmmmmmmm ”

The people of the whole country support Kyoto, and the people of the city are preparing for a prosperous New Year several months in advance.

So it's not particularly shabby this year.

The sound of firecrackers rang out in the air from time to time.

It also indicates that the time for the New Year has arrived.

There are mornings and evenings in the compound, and the sound of firecrackers is also one after another, and the children in the compound are looking for the fallen squibs there.

Before five o'clock, red candles were lit on the incense table, and incense was lit in the incense burner.

The eldest brother took a cigarette and lit a firecracker at the door.

There was a crackling sound, and the eldest brother returned to the house with a smile.

At this time, everyone has already sat down, just waiting for this moment.

"It's New Year!!"

Everyone happily picked up the table on the Arctic Ocean.

This is still Yang Xiaole's collection from all over the autumn, just waiting for the New Year, as for the expiration?

That doesn't exist.

Stir-fried salted fish with chili, braised pork and chestnut, fried bacon with shredded potatoes, pheasant and mushroom soup, stir-fried Chinese cabbage with shredded pork, scrambled eggs, braised carp, and sliced fungus meat.

A total of eight dishes.

One of the richest in the whole yard.

Yang Guangzhi said to the eldest brother: "Boss, you are the eldest grandson, give your grandmother some food, and let her taste it." ”

The old man is still alive and can't use an empty bowl.

Hearing this, the eldest brother smiled and put a little dish on each of the empty dishes and chopsticks.

After it was done, everyone began to eat happily.

In the midst of laughter, the second New Year in the city began.

Yang Xiaole looked at the braised pork on the table and asked curiously; "Where did you get this fresh meat?"

How can there be meat when he is not there!

You must know that at this time, fish and chicken have replaced meat, and pork is sold in the market, but there are very few.

It's a matter of luck.

Everyone wants pork, not chicken, and no fish.

Wang Qiuju ate and said with a smile: "Oh! Chen Dalin gave half a catty, and the rest of your eldest brother and Xizi went to line up in the middle of the night to buy it back, otherwise they would have to eat chicken. ”

Yang Xiaole was surprised.

Chen Dalin actually sent him meat.

I did trade a lot of meat with him before, but I hadn't made meat for a few months a few years ago.

Kiko muttered there: "When I go in the middle of the night, I freeze to death, and my ears are going to freeze off." Now it's okay, after the second brother comes back, he doesn't have to queue up in the middle of the night to buy meat. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was there laughing.

Wang Qiuju looked at the wheat there silently, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Why are you unhappy about this big New Year? ”

Wheat smiled and shook his head: "No! ”

Seeing her expression, Wang Qiuju thought of something, sighed and asked, "Do you miss your sister?" ”

Wheat was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Well, I don't know what they eat for the New Year!!"

After speaking, he hurriedly smiled: "But sister-in-law, you sent a piece of bacon to my sister, they must be better than other people's families this year." ”

Wang Qiuju smiled when she heard this.

I sandwiched a piece of meat for her and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat, when I have a chance in the future, let your sister come to Kyoto, and my aunt will pay the travel expenses." ”

These words made Wheat happy for a while.

Shake off the dull atmosphere just now, and everyone chatted while eating.

The eldest brother and his father were drinking there.

……

The Shen family, Mrs. Shen eats black and yellow cakes, which are substitute foods at first glance.

As for the others, it is white flour steamed buns.

Looking at the six dishes on the table, he explained there from time to time: "You can't eat fish!" Every year, this fish is unlucky to eat. ”

The family didn't buy any meat, only fresh fish and a little chicken.

The chicken was made into soup, and the fish was braised in the braised fish.

There is also a salted fish, a total of three kinds of meat dishes.

Shen Bing ate salted fish and asked dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, isn't this also a fish!" How can this be eaten, braised fish can't be eaten. ”

Shen Congjun glared at him when he heard this: "This is handed down by the ancestors, how can there be so much nonsense!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Bing deflated his mouth and looked at the braised fish, drooling greedily there.

But I just won't be allowed to eat it.

After eating, the old lady put away the fish and locked it directly in the cupboard.

……

Qu Ying sat in the room, eating the steamed buns in her hand, and holding the vegetables little by little.

Sighing from time to time.

In addition to the sumptuous dishes, there is no trace of New Year's atmosphere.

……

Compared with other families, the Zhao family is the saddest.

At this time, Aunt Zhao wiped her tears there: "I don't know how Jianguo ate on the farm!" He is here every year, but this year he is missing. ”

It was also her daughter-in-law Chen Hongli who wiped her tears.

Uncle Zhao frowned, and said to her: "Okay, what does it look like to cry for the New Year?" After a while, the children came to see it, and it was time to go back and pass the word. ”

Then he said: "You said that Jianguo went to his uncle's, what do you look like when you are crying?" ”

Zhao Shitang sighed when he heard this: "Dad, everyone in the compound must know about it, but they just don't mention it." ”

These words made Uncle Zhao not speak.

He naturally understands that to put it mildly, now their family has a fig leaf on their faces.

It's just that no one ripped it off.

There must be a lot of talk in private.

……

After eating, the family sat there eating peanuts and melon seeds.

Compared with other families, everyone else has one share, but Yang Xiaole's family is at least twice as much.

Again, this is on the bright side.

You know, these guys have barely stopped talking since they got up.

The time is almost up, and he gave the family two cents of New Year's money, Yang Guangzhi said to a few people: "Okay, it is estimated that all families are about the same, Xiaole, you go and give them New Year's greetings!" ”

Then he stood up and said, "I'm going to play cards with them." ”

After speaking, he took the enamel jar full of tea and slowly prepared to go out.

"Kiko!!"

Suddenly, there was a shouting sound from the compound.

Hearing this, Kiko, who didn't know how many times she had gone out to see it, hurriedly ran out, still muttering in her mouth; "The second and third are here. Dad, don't go. ”

These words made Yang Guangzhi stop.

Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but laugh, and came back with a smile.

The others were also happy.

After a while, Kiko came over with two teenage little radish heads.

"Daddy, this is my brother, the second Hou Chunlin, and the third Song Xiaobao."

Kiko introduced the two men.

After speaking, he introduced some family members to the two: "This is my father, this is my eldest brother and second brother......"

"(Godfather) Godfather, (Godmother) Godmother, I wish you a New Year, I wish my godfather and godmother a happy New Year and a long life."

After the two little guys confirmed the two elders, Puff fell to his knees.

"This!!"

Wang Qiuju was surprised, looked at each other with Yang Guangzhi, and then said with a smile; "Get up! All up!! ”

This has two more sons for no reason.

It is also a blindfold that makes two people for a while.

After the two got up, they also looked at the two of them with some embarrassment.

Yang Xiaole looked at the two of them, the gap between the two families should be quite large.

Hou Chunlin's clothes are obviously new, the hats he wears are all good hats, and his complexion is much better, while Song Xiaobao is hehe thin and smirks there.

Although the clothes are also new, the quality is much worse than Hou Chunlin.

The two glanced at each other, and Wang Qiuju picked up the melon seeds and peanuts in the enamel basin on the table and grabbed them for a few people.

"Come, sit, eat peanuts and sweets."

As he spoke, he took something for the two of them.

After giving the thing, he pushed Yang Guangzhi next to him, and his eyes signaled.

Yang Guangzhi took a puff of cigarette, and it took a while to react, and he hurriedly smiled: "Oh, come, wait for ......"

"Hou Chunlin! Godfather, you can just call me Chunlin or Xiaohou. ”

The big-eyed boy hurriedly spoke.

Yang Guangzhi laughed and said with a smile: "Oh, the little monkey is too ugly, let's just Chunlin, this is Xiaobao, right." ”

The last sentence was asked to Song Xiaobao, who was a little shy next to him.

"Well, yes, (godfather) godfather!"

Seeing this, Yang Guangzhi took it out of his pocket, took out two 5 cents from it and handed them to the two: "Here, this is the New Year's money for you, take it." ”

This head is also kowtowed, and the godfather is also called, this meeting gift still has to be given.

"Thank you (godfather) godfather!!"

The two took the money and thanked them with a smile.

Wang Qiuju looked at Hou Chunlin and asked with a smile: "Chunlin, I heard Xizi say, are your parents university teachers or professors?" ”

Hou Chunlin smiled and nodded lightly: "Well, my dad is a university teacher at Normal University. So did my mom. ”

"Good boy!! That's incredible. ”

Wang Qiuju was surprised, others desperately wanted to be admitted to university, and their parents directly taught university.

When she heard Kiko say it before, she was already surprised.

Hou Chunlin smiled naturally.

Looking at him, Wang Qiuju asked curiously: "Then why do you go to school in our street primary school!" Isn't there a division over there? ”

The Elementary School Affiliated to the National Normal University is also a very famous elementary school in Kyoto.

"Our home is near here, and my parents didn't let me go there, saying that as long as I was willing to study hard, it would be the same everywhere, and that when I was in junior high school, I might be asked to go to the attached middle school."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was happy next to him.

That's what I said.

How could it be the same.

I guess I feel that it is more appropriate for elementary school students to teach by themselves, so it doesn't matter if I go or not, otherwise I won't say that junior high school will have to go through.

It's the same anyway, so it's better to keep it in an ordinary middle school.

Wang Qiuju nodded when she heard this, looked at the thin black boy next to her, and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, right, I heard that your father is in construction!" Our Great Hall was built by your father, which is amazing. ”

Song Xiaobao may be a little restrained because of his family background.

Hearing this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, even my father works there." ”

"Tsk~~"

Yang Xiaole secretly gave the old lady a thumbs up.

The old lady is more promising than the old father, and it is worthy of doing sales, and this mouth will say a lot more than before.

Your father built the Great Hall.

To put it mildly, that's true.

"Mother, how are you like a prisoner!"

Kiko carried the lantern of the wine box that had been made a long time ago, muttered beside her, and then said, "We have to go, we have to go to Xiaobao's house and the monkey's house!" ”

"Okay, go ahead, pay attention this night!"

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju didn't say much, and explained her safety.

Then the three of them said hello and left.

After the people left, the eldest sister smiled there: "Xizi has a brother." ”

Yang Xiaole also teased: "Well, didn't Xizi say it!" Or brothers in life and death! ”

After speaking, he looked at Yang Guangzhi and the two: "Daddy, there are two more sons, how do you feel!" ”

Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

Wang Qiuju glared at him angrily when she heard this.

And Yang Guangzhi next to him also smiled, and then said: "Okay, I'm going to play cards!" ”

After speaking, he went out with the enamel jar in his hand.

After the others left, Yang Xiaole took the remaining wheat and a few people to pay New Year's greetings to each family.

As a junior, this etiquette is still needed.

Otherwise, they will be gossiped upon.

Then he went out with the people.
