The next morning was the third day of the new year, and it was only 4 o'clock in the morning, so my grandmother got up very early that day.

When the family was still asleep, they had already begun to prepare for noodles, because today her eldest son's family is going back to the countryside.

After a while, my grandfather, who was sleeping in the back room, slept relatively lightly, and when he heard the voice, he put on his clothes and shoes and went down to the ground, and when he came to the outhouse, he glanced at his wife and did not speak.

Directly put on a hat and went outside to find a piece of frozen pork, brought it in and put it in a basin to thaw, and then went to the jar inside to fish out a sauerkraut.

Then I began to sit in front of the stove pit to fill firewood and boil water, and the sauerkraut had to be scalded, otherwise it would be too sour, and the dumplings would not be refreshing to eat.

While scooping noodles from the noodle bag, the grandmother said to her husband with some sorrow: "Dad, what do you say this eldest family can do, can't always stay in the countryside~"

"Don't mention this little Wang Ba calf, I'm angry when I talk about it, the son-in-law kindly said that he wanted to help him find a way, but your eldest son is good, since he directly refused~"

"That is, in the past two years, I slapped him in the past, how can he be like this, how can he stay in the countryside?" When my grandfather said this, he was angry.

"Alas~" The grandmother came over with a basin of noodles and sighed, lifted the lid of the pot, picked up the water and scooped some warm water into the basin.

And said to the face: "The boss should also be afraid of trouble to the ordinary, this child has been sensible since he was a child~"

While the couple was chatting, Sun Catch-up also got up, got dressed and came over and asked, "Mom, what time is it, why are you starting to prepare for cooking?" ”

"I'm getting older and I'm younger, and I can't lie down there, so I'm just going to burn the kang for you~" Grandfather replied with a smile and added a handful of firewood to the stove pit.

Sun Catch-up smiled directly when he heard this: "You two are reluctant to let my eldest brother say it directly, and you won't tell me the truth this day!" ”

"Roll the calf, you know how to expose your Lao Tzu's shortcomings, go outside and get some wood stumbling blocks, you can talk about it day by day, and you don't have the strength to see it~" The grandfather scolded with a smile.

"Well, I'll go now~" After that, Sun Catch-up put on the padded jacket he was wearing, and was about to open the door with a stuffy hand.

"Erchao, put on your hat, you are all a father, you have to let me keep an eye on this thing every day~" The grandmother instructed her son.

He turned his head to look at her husband again and complained: "You dead old man too, you just came out of the bed early in the morning, what kind of work do you let him do, you can go out for a whole time with that little wooden trip!" ”

"Isn't that what you use to have a son?" After the grandfather finished with a smile, he took out the cigarette from his pocket and prepared to smoke one.

The level of the Chinese New Year has also come up a lot, and the previous cigarette bags and pots are no longer smoking, Comrade Lao Sun still thinks that this box is smoking hard, but he is usually reluctant to buy it, and it is all filial piety of his son and son-in-law.

Seeing this, the grandmother snatched the cigarette over: "You old thing, there are several children in the house, don't choke on them~"

"Mom, open the door~" Sun Catch-up outside the door said with a large pile of wooden stumbling blocks in a sack.

"It's coming~" The grandmother put the cigarette in her pocket and walked over to open the door.

Sun rushed into the house and laid out the wood, then picked up a small stool and sat down beside his father to roast the fire.

Concerned about it: "By the way, Dad, you are 51 years old this year, do you want to change to a more idle position?" ”

"I want to find a way to find someone for you, now this cutter is too tired, the body can't bear it, anyway, our family is not short of money now, I think the position of your factory gate post is quite suitable for you~"

When Sun Guofu heard this, his reaction was very strong: "Your father is not old yet, what's the matter with going to see the gate?" ”

"Dad, you ......" Sun rushed to think of all kinds of tricks, it was a persuasion, and in the end his father still disagreed, so he could only give up temporarily.

Chatting and chatting, the family also got up one after another, happily wrapping dumplings together, and after eating, although the grandmother was reluctant, she could only watch the eldest son's family leave.

Sun Catch-up borrowed the donkey again, and specially rode this to the train station for the eldest brother's family, and then said goodbye to his parents and daughter, and returned to his house with his reluctant wife Yu Hong, because the two of them will start work tomorrow.

As soon as she arrived at home, Yu Hong saw the empty living room, sat on the sofa and sighed directly: "Alas~"

Here, Sun Catch-up was just about to put the bean bags brought by his parents outside.

Seeing this scene, he also sat directly next to his wife, and said with concern: "What's the matter, daughter-in-law, why are you still sighing for the New Year?" ”

"I miss our daughter, I finally got acquainted with me in the past two days, let's go again, I just found out today that our daughter has 12 teeth~~" Yu Hong hugged her husband's arm a little uncomfortably.

This daughter has grown so old in a flash, but the time spent with the mother and daughter is very short, usually only going back once on weekends, and even once every two weeks if there is something to do.

"Daughter-in-law, there is no way to do this, if you insist on it, it will be good to go to kindergarten in the future, and then we will take the child back......"

Sun Catch-up calmed down his wife Yu Hong's emotions and went downstairs, this person must be sophisticated, and he must move around during the New Year.

I went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some things, and I bought ten bottles of wine alone, as well as sugar, malt milk, canned food, white rabbit toffee, cigarettes, etc., which cost Sun Catch up for nearly a month's salary.

Dividing things into several parts, putting them all in the space, carrying two bottles of wine and two cans of malt milk essence, he came to the master Liu Ming's house first, and knocked on the door after going upstairs.

"Master, sister-in-law, are you at home?"

"It's good to catch up with my uncle~" The one who opened the door was Liu Xuan, the 7-year-old daughter of Liu Ming's family.

Sun rushed to the master's house for these words, and he was also very familiar with this little girl, so he took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket.

handed it over and asked with a smile: "Xuanxuan, are your parents at home?" ”

"Thank you, uncle, come in~" After Liu Xuan's child took the candy, she happily held hands and welcomed people in.

And shouted into the bedroom: "Mom and Dad, come out in time for your uncle, come out quickly~"

"Come on, Xuanxuan, can you help your parents pour a cup of tea for your uncle~" Wu Yu said as he walked out.

"Okay, catch up with your uncle, you sit~" After Liu Xuan's child finished speaking, she jumped up and down to pour water.

Sun Catch-up said hello to Liu Ming and his wife who came out: "Master, sister-in-law, happy New Year~"

"The water is here, catch up with your uncle, drink it quickly~" Liu Xuan's child walked over with a water cup.

Seeing this, Sun Chaochao hurriedly took it, took out a few more candies from his pocket and handed them over.

touched the little girl's head: "Thank you Xuanxuan, this is a reward for you~"

"You kid just use sugar-coated cannonballs to corrupt my daughter, this girl makes you get used to it, and she has a little tooth decay~" Liu Ming walked over and made a joke.

Wu Yu on the side directly glanced at her husband: "Why don't you say that when you are used to it, you can only give you a few sugars when you catch up, you can't wait to buy it for you every day~"

Liu Ming didn't dare to stiffen his mouth here, he wanted to change the topic when he picked up his daughter, and looked at the things in his apprentice's hand:

"Catch up, come to me in the future, don't do this thing, just let people come, what are you buying these things for, you have everything at home, how many times have I said it~"
