057: Chinese New Year
"I still like to eat eels, and I like the eel made by my little aunt the most, haha......" Xi Shuyan didn't pretend, poured all the green vegetable porridge to Luo Zhengye, and went to fish for eel by himself, which made everyone laugh.
"This dish was originally made for you, eat more." The little aunt hurriedly got up and took a spoon to add vegetables to Xi Shuyan.
On the other hand, Xi Shurong sat in the living room of his own house, eating the food cooked by his mother, as if he was counting them, one by one, for fear of eating two grains at a time.
"You eat!" Xi Shuyan couldn't stand it anymore, and went straight to his sister's bowl to pick up vegetables.
"Uh-huh." Xi Shurong seemed to be even more nervous, bowing his head to eat.
Yan Yan don't pay attention to her, now that she is under pressure to study, she is not good at eating like this, and I don't know if she is leaving a note. What to leave behind! No matter how much you stay, you can't catch up with Sister Yan Yan, and you don't see who Sister Yan Yan's mother is, and what the hell her own mother looks like. Rongrong's mother laughed and laughed at herself, and also served her daughter a bowl of chicken soup in distress.
"Little aunt, don't hit Rongrong, just clean up and dress up, people will definitely think she is my sister when you go out. Among these cousins, Rong Rong is the most similar to me. Xi Shuyan also understands the little aunt's bowing head and being small, but excessive it will make Tang Rong even inferior.
"Yes, she just wants to be admitted to the university in the provincial capital, and she wants to go to your house every once in a while, and she also has the fairy spirit of Sister Yanyan. Yan Bao, you are such a sister, teach more about Rong. As she spoke, the little aunt also raised the milk to the scholar's face.
"If Rong Rong is admitted to Ling Tian's school, it will be handed over to me, and you can live directly in my house, haha......" Xi Shuyan clinked glasses with the little aunt, and then asked Luo Zhengye to respect the little uncle's family, and after a meal, it was so lively.
After eating, Xi Zeshan and his wife went to the master bedroom on the second floor to rest, and Xi Shuyan took Luo Zhengye to her "room" to rest.
"All solid wood floors, lambskin sofas, if you don't take care of it, it's not as bright as it is now!" Luo Zhengye went up to the second floor, and felt that this was a poor county and a rural ...... It's more beautiful than his new house!
"My little uncle's family only makes money, doesn't spend money, and can usually be saved, which is why we have such a big table of sumptuous dishes when we come back. Although this house was built at the expense of my parents, they had to pay for the decoration themselves, and it is estimated that the whole family's belongings were smashed into the decoration of this house. It's so face-saving! Actually, my mom and dad didn't care that much. Xi Shuyan shrugged his shoulders, also a little helpless.
"It's a pity that there is no son to inherit this luxury property." Luo Zhengye smiled.
"Tell you quietly, if they really have a son, maybe my dad won't pay for them to build a house, and he won't be so close to them. Just look at my uncle's house. Although Xi Shuyan is almost 30 years old, she is actually still a simple little girl, and she is completely unwary of Luo Zhengye.
"Why? Your dad is still a woman over a man? "Luo Zhengye is a little blindsided.
"You're such a curious baby, you'll know when you go to my uncle's house later." Xi Shuyan smiled at Luo Zhengye, and then chatted with him about some work matters.
At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, several of them, led by the little uncle, walked to the uncle's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
"Actually, I've discussed it with my eldest brother several times, my eldest brother is so stubborn, my second brother can understand it, right?" While walking, the little uncle still felt that it was not appropriate, and still muttered a few words.
"It's okay, it's okay, he's the boss, we should be at his disposal." Xi Zeshan shook his hand, and Mrs. Xi supported each other and walked slowly.
In fact, the eldest uncle's house was not far from the younger uncle's house, and a few people moved forward slowly, and they didn't arrive in a quarter of an hour.
But on this quarter-hour journey, there were villagers greeting along the way, as if they all knew Xi Zeshan.
The eldest uncle's house turned out to be the most dilapidated one of the residences, a large brick house with four wooden doors and only one floor, which could not be compared with the little uncle's three-story small western-style building.
In the contrast of the two two-story buildings on the left and right, it looks extremely thin and dilapidated.
Although it is only a large bungalow on the first floor, the windows are still clean.
The wooden-framed windows were wiped clean, and the word "Fu" was posted in bright red and festive.
The tiles on the roof have also been refurbished, and they are neatly stacked and not missing.
The walls were visibly cleaned, and they were painted with white lime water half a person high.
The eldest aunt was neatly dressed, stood at the gate with her two sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, and welcomed the people in, and then the eldest uncle stood in the room waiting for everyone.
There was not a single leaf cleaned in front of the house and behind the house, and when the door entered, there were neat fruits and non-staple foods on the large table.
Further on, there is the tablet of the ancestors.
There are candles burning on both sides, and there are offerings in the fruit bowl, which must have been sitting for a few days, and the fruit is a little wilted.
"Waiting for the New Year's dinner, you come to the incense." Uncle explained on the side.
"Big brother is in good health this year?" Xi Zeshan took the eldest uncle's hand and asked with concern.
This uncle is about the same height as Xi Zeshan, but because he is a few years older, or he works in the countryside, his back is a little bent. Coupled with black and thin and white hair, he looks like Xi Zeshan's father, not his brother.
According to Xi Shuyan, their brothers are only one or two years apart.
So in Luo Zhengye's opinion, this uncle didn't do anything, and he felt a little sympathetic to him in his heart.
"It's fine. After having a stroke the year before last, I have been taking medicine for the past two years, and it is fine. The eldest uncle replied, but when he opened his mouth, the old voice and the lost teeth made Luo Zhengye feel that he was not "good", and these polite words were just face-to-face words.
Everyone sat down under the arrangement of the eldest uncle, and Luo Zhengye was arranged to sit at the next seat with Xi Shuyan, opposite Xi Zeshan and his wife on the main seat. The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt sat on the side seat, and the little uncle and his wife sat on the other side.
The two sons and grandsons of the eldest uncle's family sat at another table with the little uncle's Xi Shurong, and the two daughters-in-law were cooking in the kitchen. It looks like the bliss of the match.
"I said at the beginning, the third child will directly build five floors there, and you can all move there, but you don't listen. Now it seems that the whole village is moving to the third child, and you have become the tail family in the village. Xi Zeshan knew that he couldn't say anything about the uncle, but he would repeat the old words every time.
"This is the old house, where our parents and our three brothers used to grow up together, and I am staying here to keep a message for all of you. Besides, there's nothing wrong here, our eldest and second are almost forty people, and we're used to living here, and we can't live in a building. We're just here to watch, and we're just going to be happy and happy when you guys do a good job. A lifetime, it's almost over, what are you tossing? With that, the eldest uncle arranged for his grandson and son to go to the front of the house to set off firecrackers.
