Sun Xiaoning was playing with his friends on the side of the road and tossing bags, when he happened to see his father riding a bicycle.

smiled and waved his hand at him, and shouted in his mouth: "Dad, you're back~"

Sun Guofu heard the voice and saw that it was his little daughter, and stopped the bicycle: "What time is it, I'm still playing outside, hurry up and go home with my dad for dinner~"

"Xiaohong, then I'll go home first, and I'll come over to play with you after I'm done~" Sun Xiaoning also felt a little hungry and waved his hand at his friends.

Then he walked up to his father and said pitifully: "Dad, I'm a little tired and don't want to go!" ”

"You ghost girl, why weren't you tired when you were crazy just now~" That's what the grandfather said, so he still got down and picked up his daughter on the bicycle, and it wasn't far from home, so he pushed her back.

After arriving home, after locking the bicycle outside, Sun Guofu took his daughter down, and suddenly smelled a fragrance coming over.

took a deep breath: "Girl, did our family come here today, why is it so fragrant?" ”

Sun Xiaoning shook his head and replied, "No, when I left, there was no one at home~"

At this time, she also smelled the fragrance, and a smile instantly appeared on her face: "My mother seems to be making braised pork~"

After that, I felt that I was even hungrier, and hurriedly walked two steps.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother serving vegetables from the pot, and the big pot of braised pork and stewed potatoes made Sun Xiaoning swallow his saliva twice.

"Mom, am I dreaming, why do you make so much meat?"

Hearing this, the grandmother smiled and said, "You kid, since it's a dream, don't eat it later!" ”

"I don't, I'm going to eat~" Sun Xiaoning stuck out his tongue, and then ran into the big house.

At this time, Sun Guofu also walked in, and he was also surprised to see this big pot of braised pork and stewed potatoes.

"it, what day is it, why is it still stewed meat, and there are so many whole things, this is estimated to be two catties~"

"The meat was bought back by Erchao, and I'll tell you later, it's definitely a big joy, you bring the dishes over first~" The grandmother handed a pot of meat to her husband and sold it.

"What a happy event, I haven't seen you with so much meat during the New Year~" The grandfather didn't enter the house with a big pot of vegetables, and said a little confused.

Grandmother walked to the side and took out two salted duck eggs from the pickle jar and put them on the cutting board: "Oh, hurry up, the dishes are almost ready, I'll cut two more salted duck eggs for you two to drink~"

At this time, Sun Xiaoning's voice came from the big house: "Dad, come and see, the sun is coming out in the west, and there are more dishes today than for the New Year~"

When his grandfather heard this, he also entered the house with the dishes, but when he saw the dishes on the table, he was also shocked, because he didn't count the pot of meat in his hand and the salted duck eggs that his wife was cutting.

Now there are six dishes on the table, canned fish, fried peanuts, fried green onions with eggs, fried shredded potatoes, fried fungus with cabbage, cold vegetables, and if you add stewed meat and salted duck eggs, it will be a full eight dishes.

Placing the meat in the center of the table, the grandfather leaned over to his son, who was sitting with the dishes and chopsticks.

asked him in a low voice: "Erchao, your mother's life is over, Xiao Ning is right just now, our family didn't have these dishes for the New Year, what's the matter?" ”

Sun Catch-up didn't hide it, and explained with a smile: "Dad, I became a regular today, and my salary will be 38 yuan 5 in the future, is this a big happy event?" ”

"I bought the meat or everything, and our family also improved the food, and in the future, two people will earn wages, so they don't have to be as tight as before~"

"Really?" The grandfather felt a little dizzy for a while, and his son will be a glorious driver in the future. He couldn't believe it.

"This can still be fake, you just had the same expression as my mother, this is for you~" After Sun Catch-up finished speaking, he took out the salary certificate issued by the Labor and Management Department from his pocket.

The grandfather took the paper and looked at it carefully several times, and the more he looked at it, the deeper the smile on his face, and finally confirmed it.

stretched out his big fan-like hand and patted his son's shoulder with a smile: "You kid, it's only been more than two months since you turned positive, and it's better than your two small hairs!" ”

"Bingkun and Guoqing, I heard that the two of them are still temporary workers, and it is estimated that they will become regular at the end of the year, and my son is much better than them!"

Now I see how he Zhou Zhigang and Lao Xiao compare with me, you kid really fights for me, it is worthy of my Sun Guofu's son, compare them all~"

Grandpa was so happy today, and thought that everything was going very smoothly at home during this time, so he waved his hand very heroically.

Commanded the little daughter on the side: "Xiao Ning, you go to your Uncle Xiao's house, as well as Uncle Qiao, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Liu, call them all over, and say that your father is going to invite them to drink~"

"Huh?" Sun Xiaoning pouted, she was a little reluctant to go, because she was finally able to eat a meal of meat, but now her father wants to treat her, and she will definitely not be able to serve it at that time.

Seeing this, Sun Catch-up immediately understood, got up and walked to the kang tip, and took out a few toffees from the cabinet that he had bought before.

After coming back, he stuffed the sugar into his sister's pocket and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, the second brother will leave the dishes for you when the time comes, and you will definitely be able to eat meat until you can eat it~"

"That's okay~" As soon as Sun Xiaoning saw the sugar, he ran out happily.

At this time, my grandmother also walked in with salted duck eggs, and after so many years with her husband, she naturally knew what he thought.

"You dead old man, don't you have to show off~"

When the grandfather heard his wife's ridicule, he retorted not to be outdone: "Don't talk about me, you will definitely have to show off to your National Day mother and Bingkun's mother later~"

"Oh, you dead old man, you know how short it is to pick me up in front of a child all day long~" The grandmother replied with a smile.

Sun Catch-up, who was sitting on the side, also interjected: "Dad, Mom, our family is getting better and better, and you two will wait to enjoy happiness in the future~"

Hearing this, the grandfather directly held his wife's hand and said with emotion: "My grandson didn't expect to have this day, damn it, I've worked hard for you all these years, and you haven't enjoyed any blessings with me over the years~"

"Why are you saying this in front of the child~" The grandmother was still a little embarrassed, and pulled her hand out directly.

But although she said so, she was also very moved in her heart, feeling that all the hard work over the years was worth it, and her eyes were red when she thought of this grandmother.

Immediately, he was afraid that his son would see it, so he got up directly and said, "I'll go and change this meat to a plate, and then set aside some dishes~"

The family chatted for a while, and after about ten minutes, they heard a noisy sound outside, and several good neighbors who had a relationship with his grandfather had come to the door of his grandson's house.

There are Xiao Guoqing, his father Xiao Hu, Qiao Chunyan and her father Qiao Dagui, and Sun Guofu's two friends who work in a factory, and they normally get along well with Zhou Zhigang, but he was not at home, so he couldn't come.

As soon as the four people opened the door and entered the house, they were surprised to see the dishes on the table, these eight dishes are particularly hard, and it can be said that most people do not have this standard for the New Year.

Seeing that they leaked this kind of look, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his heart was very satisfied.

Then he said: "Lao Xiao, Lao Qiao, and the two of you, what are you doing standing there, hurry up and serve the table, your eldest nephew is such a big happy event, you are still so late~"

After a few people sat down, the wine glasses were full, and they all said to their grandmothers: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard for all these dishes!" ”

"What's this, it's all some commonplace, you drink, I'll go and brush the pot, something to call me~" After that, he pulled his daughter who didn't want to go and went to the outhouse.

Seeing this, Xiao Guoqing's father, Xiao Hu, hurriedly said: "Brother and sister, you are busy with the pot, we can't eat these dishes, we are all our own family, you and Xiao Ning are also eating here~"

"You eat yours, I'm sick, my work is not neat, and I can't stay busy~" The grandmother made an excuse at random.

This is also an old rule in the Northeast, if there is a and (qie), women and children are generally not allowed to serve the table, one is to serve the bureau, help add some food to the table, or serve some food to the guests.

Another is also because of the limited economic conditions and the lack of self-control of children, if they eat all the good dishes on the table, it is also a kind of disrespect to the guests.

"Mom, I'll help you tidy up together~" At this time, Sun Catch-up also stood up, he didn't want to drink with these people, not to mention that he was uncomfortable drinking, and he had to serve the bureau.

"Catch up, what are you going to do, you will get a salary increase after becoming a regular, that's an adult, it's okay to drink some wine~" Xiao Hu stretched out his hand to stop Sun Catch-up.

"That's it, 18 can drink~" Several others also chimed in.

"No, uncles and uncles, I don't have much alcohol here, you elders are drinking, I'll help my mother with her work~" Sun Catch-up hurriedly said something to shirk, and got up to leave again.

Xiao Hu stopped again, and said meaningfully: "You are stronger than my family's National Day, that kid is a tendon, in the future, you can help the uncle take him more, if you dare not listen to you, you will beat me~"

"Uncle, where are you, the National Day is much stronger than me, and you will definitely have a great future after being down-to-earth and willing to work, unlike me, I will be opportunistic~"

Don't look at Sun Catch-up's words very politely, but at this time, he was already a little impatient in his heart, and directly gave his father a look.

Because he doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, the elders can't let go of drinking and eating, and they can't interject when they nag, no matter how they think about it, they feel bored.

And you don't have to think about it, the topic of a while must revolve around you, in fact, just now I said that I wanted to have a treat, and Sun Catch-up had the intention to disagree, how good it would be for his family to eat and drink, but seeing the old man's happy face, he didn't disappoint the fun.

Seeing this scene, the grandfather also knew that his son didn't like this kind of occasion, so he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Old Xiao, look at you, how old are the second super, how can you be an uncle like this, what are you doing when you force children to drink~"

"Let's drink ours, we have to not get drunk today, otherwise we will all be blind to your sister-in-law's table of good dishes~"

"Then don't you need to say, my eldest nephew is turning into such a big happy event, I must drink it well~" Everyone also picked up their wine glasses.

Here, Sun Catch-up also got out and came to the outhouse, filled a bowl of rice, sat on the small table with his mother and sister, and ate it.

The food on the small table is relatively simple, there is also a plate of braised pork and stewed potatoes, plus some cold dishes, as for canned fish, scrambled eggs or something, there is not much scrambling, and my grandmother has not been wholeed.

After eating a few bites, I looked up and saw my sister pouting, so I asked her, "What's wrong Xiao Ning, why are you still unhappy eating meat~"

"It's all our father's fault, I have to invite any guests, I haven't eaten canned fish and scrambled eggs~" Sun Xiaoning whispered with an unhappy face.

The grandmother is not the parent of the child, and when she heard her daughter's words, she directly put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned her head and reprimanded in a low voice:

"Don't put this grinding teeth with me, you don't want to eat it, you put the bowl down, the canned fish is not too much, why do you give it to you?"

"And are you in arrears lately, parents want to do something, I have to discuss with you, you are a mother, I am a mother, I think you have been living too well in the past two days, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat meat~"

"Hmph~" Sun Xiaoning was scolded, and the tears of grievance flowed out directly, but he didn't dare to cry, so he could only sobbed quietly.
