On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Sheng cooked the dumplings early in the morning, and after the family gathered around the table to eat the dumplings, Su Ge and Sheng Qihui went to work.

During the Chinese New Year, no one had the heart to go to work, so they stayed in the factory until noon, and everyone left tacitly after lunch.

Su Ge also changed his clothes and went to the factory gate to wait for Sheng Qihui to pick him up.

Back in the courtyard, they were not idle, carrying things and going from house to house to pay New Year's greetings.

The first place to go was an uncle's house.

Uncle Yi usually likes to drink two sips when he has nothing to do, and Sheng Qihui bought him a bottle of lotus white for the wine ticket he left.

In addition, I also brought a bag of trough cakes, a bowl of croquettes made by my grandmother, and a jar of biscuits.

The two walked to the door of an uncle's house, and happened to meet Yu Fanqiang who came out of it.

Seeing them, Yu Fanqiang's expression was a little tense, but he quickly returned to normal, greeted him with a smile and left.

Su Ge watched him go away, and said to Sheng Qihui: "Sure enough, I still have a weak heart, if I don't come to pay a New Year's visit, I won't be so nervous." ”

Sheng Qihui said: "Regardless of him, let's go in and worship our New Year." ”

The two entered the door, an uncle and an aunt were talking, and when they saw the two of them, they hurriedly beckoned them into the house and sat down.

Seeing the things in the hands of the two, an aunt said, "Come on, take so many things." ”

Su Ge said with a smile: "New Year's Eve, auspicious, I wish an uncle and an aunt good health and good luck in the new year." ”

Su Ge's auspicious words are beautiful, and the first uncle and the first aunt are happy.

Sheng Qihui handed the lotus white to the uncle, and the uncle's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's a good wine."

An aunt hurriedly pushed him and snatched the wine, "The doctor said that you have to drink less, I will keep this wine for you, and you are only allowed to drink one cup a day." ”

Uncle Yi still wants to snatch it back, but where can he rob an aunt.

Lin Zi ran in from outside, and Su Ge saw him, took out a few pieces of fruit candy from his pocket and stuffed them into his hands.

Lin Zi was overjoyed, and said "Thank you, Aunt Su" one after another, and carefully put the fruit candy into the pocket of his clothes.

After talking for a while, Su Ge and Sheng Qihui came out of the first uncle's house, and there were other families who were going to pay New Year's greetings.

Before leaving, an aunt took a bowl of her own meat jelly and asked her to take it back to eat.

The two are too familiar, Sheng Qihui didn't be polite to an aunt, and took the bowl.

As soon as he came out of an uncle's house, he hadn't gone far when he saw Xu Hongxing carrying a bag of things into an uncle's house.

"The Xu family and the Yu family really have a tacit understanding, and they give New Year's greetings to an uncle one after the other."

Su Ge said.

"The last time I went to the Buddhist shrine, Uncle Yi helped a lot. If it weren't for the mediation of Uncle Yi in the middle, Xu Ershun's future would be gone, and the Yu family would be kicked out of the compound, so these two families should thank Uncle Yi. ”

After speaking, Sheng Qihui checked the bowl in his hand, "The meat jelly made by Aunt Yi is delicious, adjust some garlic sauce at night, and you can taste it then." ”

Su Ge has a very good appetite recently, and when he heard Sheng Qihui say this, he suddenly became interested.

The two put the meat jelly home and went to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.

The people who go are usually good people, such as Uncle Fang's house, Fan Xueqin's house, Ding Dongming's house, Aunt Fang's house, and so on.

Each family was given a packet of trough cakes and a bowl of croquettes.

When they came back, the two of them were not empty.

The second aunt brought a bag of oil dates, and the second uncle's apprentice sent it.

Fan Xueqin took the sesame sauce candy specially provided by the food factory for the New Year.

Ding Dongming's daughter-in-law's hometown is in Southern Province, and the old family sent a bag of rice cakes for the New Year, and Ding Dongming wrapped some for them to take back to taste.

Grandma Sheng looked at the rice cakes, "This is quite rare, you can fry it, you can fry it, you can also cook it, you can put it down, people in Southern Province can eat it until the fifteenth day of the first month." ”

Su Ge smiled and said, "Auntie, you have a lot of knowledge, you can tell everything." ”

Grandma Sheng squinted and smiled, smiling a little proudly, "When I was young, I also walked all over the world, and I knew a little about it. ”

"Yikes." Su Ge came to his senses, "Auntie, where have you been there at that time?" ”

Grandma Sheng said: "Our family was a big family before liberation, and your grandfather was a famous industrialist in Binjiang. In the fall of Binjiang in 37, your grandfather moved to Star City with his family, and I followed all the way to Star City. Later, Xingcheng couldn't stay anymore, so we moved to the southern province, and we lived in the southern province for several days, and the folk customs of the southern province were known at that time. ”

Su Ge said in his heart, no wonder, it turns out that my aunt still has such a past.

"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, we went back to Binjiang, and we have stayed here since then, and we have never gone out for decades."

Grandma Sheng looked stunned, as if her thoughts were back in the old days.

After a while, she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's all the old yellow calendar, and today is the New Year, don't mention these." I'm going to cut everything into the rice cakes, and we'll eat fried rice cakes in the evening. ”

In the evening, the Sheng family was eating, and Song Pandi and Jiang Liang came.

Yesterday they went back to Jiang's house for the New Year in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they only came back later.

As soon as they came back, they brought a bag of things over to pay New Year's greetings.

After each said auspicious words, Grandma Sheng hurriedly asked Sheng Rui to get two more pairs of chopsticks and beckoned Song Pandi and Jiang Liang to sit down and eat more.

The two didn't refuse, and sat down together, praising Grandma's good craftsmanship while eating.

Grandma Sheng smiled and bent her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, in the third year of junior high school, after Sheng Qihui sent Su Ge to work, he did not go to the machinery factory, but went to the first machine department to report.

There were quite a few people who participated in the training this time, and they sat in a meeting hall and saw that there were hundreds of people.

Sheng Qihui found an empty place to sit down, and as soon as he sat down, he heard a familiar voice next to him.

"Sheng Qihui, are you also here for training?"

When I looked up, I found that it was Tong Hao.

"What a coincidence, you're here too."

Tong Hao pinched his chin, "Don't mention it, I don't want to come, the leader asked me to come over by name, saying that I was the team leader of the blast furnace project last time, and I did a good job, so I gave this training opportunity." In fact, I don't know anything, you know what my background is, if I wasn't recommended to go to college, I wouldn't have been able to pass the exam on my own. As a result, I had to come when the ducks were put on the shelves. ”

Sheng Qihui said: "Since you are here, you should study hard, such a learning opportunity is rare." ”

Tong Hao was depressed, "I also know it's rare, but I'm afraid I won't understand." Forget it, it's all here anyway, and it's a day to mix it up. ”

The two didn't say a few words, and the training began.

They were taught by professors from Binjiang University, well-known experts in the field of machinery.

Sheng Qihui listened carefully and took notes in his notebook from time to time.

Tong Hao listened to it for a while, and felt that his eyes were going to be spent, and he couldn't understand what was written on the blackboard at all.

After a day of training, Sheng Qihui was in good spirits, and Tong Hao was drowsy.

When saying goodbye to the first machine department, Tong Hao said with a wilt: "There is still a month, but how do you want me to survive." ”

Looking at Sheng Qihui without any tiredness, Tong Hao admired it.

"After a day of studying, why aren't you tired at all?"

Sheng Qihui also wondered, he was indeed not tired.

And the more you learn, the more mentally you go.
