As the old saying goes: "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and don't work for doctors to prescribe medicine." "The radish is just tea, and the angry doctor is crawling all over the ground!"

There are many benefits to eating turnips.

"Click......."

Xu Deyong hugged Xiaoli'er and ate the radish, looked out the window and muttered, "It's snowing." ”

"Daddy, eat." Xiao Li'er bit the little radish strip in her hand, said in a milky voice, and then stuffed it into Xu Deyong's mouth.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Li'er is so good, dad has it, you can eat." ”

"Eat." Xiao Lier still refuses to give up.

Xu Deyong had to pretend to bite a little, and the little guy was happy.

Xiao Li'er is more than a year old, and she can walk for a while even if she doesn't hold on to the "Ding Taxi".

There was a lot of difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the house, and the glass was fogged.

Xiao Li'er's little hands were scratching on it, enjoying it.

"Oh!"

The fog was swept away, and Xiao Li'er saw the snowflakes gradually drifting outside, and stretched out her finger in surprise.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "That's snow, white snow." ”

"Snow." Xiao Li'er grinned: "Go, look." ”

"Okay." Xu Deyong put a hat on Xiao Li'er and carried her to the courtyard.

"Hee-hee...... Under. Xiao Li'er twisted her body.

Xu Deyong casually lifted her down.

Xiao Li'er was wearing a cotton jacket and cotton pants, like a bloated fat duckling.

Two small hands are spread out, trying to catch the falling snowflakes.

"Oh!" Xiao Li'er pouted, "Dad, no." ”

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Wait a little longer." ”

Xiao Li'er's eyes flickered and blinked, and then opened her small mouth and stuck out her tongue to taste it.

Cute and stupid.

But I couldn't catch it, so I had to tilt my little head, and my little mouth "clicked" twice.

Xu Deyong couldn't stop seeing the smile on his old father's face.

At the age when she was still unsteady when she walked alone, Xiao Li'er tilted her head again, and then a fart fell backwards.

Xu Deyong was prepared, and immediately stretched his legs behind Xiao Li'er.

So Xiao Li'er sat on his feet.

Xiao Li'er looked up at her father strangely, and seemed to be a little strange about how she sat down, and pulled Xu Deyong's pants to "hum".

When he saw the snow falling to the ground, he stepped on it with his little feet.

"Fat girl" line in the snow.

Xu Deyong is like a guard, faithfully guarding the side.

After stepping on it for a while, Xiao Li'er was always a little unsteady on her feet, and said a little angrily: "Cheche!" ”

Xu Deyong called the "Ding Taxi Car", so the little guy walked up in the courtyard with his two little hands, and as the wheels turned, the two wooden sticks kept beating, making a "da-da-da" sound.

The snowflakes were fluttering, and Xiao Li'er's laughter and 'da-da' echoed in the courtyard.

Xu Deyong followed unhurriedly, and some snowflakes fell on his head.

The snow is coming, and no one can truly stand alone.

After a while, the little guy was tired of playing, so Xu Deyong took her back to the house.

Of course, the little guy still can't be idle, sitting on the small bench made by Xu Deyong, playing with the blocks on the table, or holding a pencil to "draw" on paper.

In the evening, the snow in the yard had accumulated two fingers deep, and looking at the time, Xu Huizhen should be back for dinner soon, so he couldn't rest assured, so he had to go to the tavern to pick it up.

Xiao Li'er, a little clever ghost, naturally wants to follow.

Xu Deyong carried him out, and as soon as he turned the corner at the entrance of the alley, he saw that Xu Huizhen had come out.

"Mom......." Xiao Li'er immediately beckoned happily.

"Hey, Li'er." Xu Huizhen agreed with a smile.

Xu Deyong walked a few steps quickly to Xu Huizhen's side, wanting to reach out to help her.

Xu Huizhen opened it lightly and said, "No need to help, I'm not an old woman yet, just these few steps, what are you taking her out for." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "It's snowy and slippery, I'm not worried about you." ”

"Mom, snow." Xiaoli happily picked up a few snow slopes.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Oh, our family knows Xue, it's great." ”

"Hee-hee." Xiao Li'er said happily: "Dad, down." ”

Xu Huizhen said: "Li'er, let's not come down, otherwise the shoes will get wet ......." ”

The family of three stepped on the snow and returned home for dinner.

The rice is rice, the vegetable is oil residue, vermicelli stewed cabbage, and a plate of small pickles, this food is a proper and high match.

However, at this time, most of the dry rice eaten in Sijiucheng was rice, that is, the rice was boiled until it was six or seven years ripe, fished out with a fence, and steamed in the basket drawer.

Rice soup is used for boiling, and the nutrients are not lost, it may be waste firewood, and the heat of the briquette stove is difficult to master, so it is rarely eaten as stewed rice.

"Strips."

Xiao Li'er has already let him learn to eat by himself, sitting on the chair where he eats, holding a small spoon in his hand.

Xu Huizhen was overjoyed, pinched Xiao Li'er's little face, and said with a smile: "Oh, why are we Li'er so cute!" ”

Xiao Li'er tilted her head and grinned slightly: "Meat." ”

Xu Huizhen pinched a little, and said to Xu Deyong: "At the end of this year, if there is a balance in the tavern, I plan to subsidize everyone, what do you say?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "It's a good thing, everyone must be happy." ”

Xu Huizhen said: "But I don't plan to be average, I have to be focused." ”

Xu Deyong glanced at her and said, "You want to give more subsidies to Sister Zhao." ”

"Hmm." Xu Huizhen nodded and said: "Sister Zhao's family is a lot more difficult than others, there are old people to support, not to mention, there are eight sons, and the average living expenses of the family are less than five yuan a month. ”

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "You discuss this with Brother Wuwu, he should not object, but you have to be mentally prepared, others will have some opinions, this is inevitable, do not suffer from inequality." ”

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "Well, I'll discuss it with Manager Cai in two days." ”

The two of them talked about trivial things while eating, and Xiao Li'er ate with relish.

"Hey." Xu Huizhen said: "Have you read yesterday's newspaper?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "Look, what's the matter?" ”

Xu Huizhen said: "The matter about sparrows, after the New Year, the street will definitely have to hand in the task again, and you say how the people above catch this little thing every day." ”

Xu Deyong said: "This is not something we can decide, and we can just say it at home, and we will say it outside in the future." ”

Xu Huizhen was puzzled: "What are you afraid of, isn't it just a little sparrow, and now 'chirp, release', encourage everyone to speak, we ordinary people can't be convicted for their words." ”

Xu Deyong said: "It's hard to say, in short, let's say less about politics." ”

Xu Huizhen glanced at him lightly and said, "What's the fuss, in fact, I don't want to say it, if there is a sparrow index in the tavern back then, I will leave it to you." ”

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "Okay, but can we keep the sparrows ourselves, I heard that the "Pu Wufang" has barbecued pork sparrows, and the taste is good, but it is a little expensive, two more than a catty." ”

Xu Huizhen said angrily: "What are you doing with that thing, there is no meat at all, and it is more expensive than pork." ”

"Meat." Xiao Li'er raised her head when she heard it.

Xu Huizhen smiled and clipped her a small piece again.

Xu Deyong said: "I'll buy some skinny ones for Li'er to eat tomorrow." ”

Xu Huizhen thought for a while and said: "If you sell lean meat, it's better to just buy a pig's head and boil it, the pig's head is cheap and there is meat, and then take half of it to grandma." ”

Xu Deyong said: "One is too much, I'll see if I can buy half of it, and then buy some pigs in the water or something." ”

"Well, you can do it."

After eating, Xu Huizhen went back to duty, Xiao Li'er had to follow after eating and drinking, and Xiao Budian now likes to listen to the excitement.

The snow was still falling, and it was already white outside, and the entire Sijiu City was covered in a layer of white.

Xiao Li'er was very happy to watch.

Xu Deyong grabbed a handful of snow and pinched a small snowball for Xiao Li'er to play with, Xu Hui really looked at him and didn't say anything.

Because of the snow, there are not many people in the tavern, and there are a few sparse people.

Cai Quanwu was also there, helping He Yumei to respond, and going back to get off work together, after all, He Yumei was also pregnant.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "There is no big brother, have you eaten?" ”

Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "Eat." ”

"Li'er, call uncle." Xu Deyong said.

Xiao Li'er glanced at it, and her milky voice was vague: "Uncle......." The word "master" is still a little intelligible.

"Hey, Li'er is so good." Cai Quanwu replied with a smile on his face.

Xu Deyong said: "Don't be greedy, you will have it after the New Year, and the two of you will be busy at that time." ”

Cai Quanwu said: "I discussed with Yumei, and when the time comes, let my mother-in-law come and bring ......." ”

The two chatted casually, Xiao Li'er sat on Xu Deyong's lap, her two little feet twisted and twisted, and her eyes looked around.

Xu Huizhen said at this time: "Yumei, I can't stop this snow for a while, or you and Manager Wu will go back first." ”

He Yumei said: "No, it's still early, anyway, there's nothing to do when you go back, someone will definitely come later." ”

Xu Huizhen didn't force it anymore, and while she was not busy, the two pregnant women got together and muttered and chatted.

Sure enough, after a while, some old customers around came over one after another.

Drinking in the snow and drinking in the mountains is not a great joy in life.

Niu Ye's stocky figure appeared, wearing a black satin jacket with lines, stomped his feet at the door, shook the snowflakes on his body, and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Master Niu......."

"Master Niu, you're here."

……

Everyone greeted each other, and Niu Ye was the most famous person in the neighborhood who came to drink.

"Grandpa......." Xiao Li'er also said in a milky voice.

Xu Deyong took Xiao Li'er to the door of Niu Ye's house a few times, and Niu Ye gave her some gadgets, she remembered it, and she would call every time she saw it.

"Hey." Niu Ye was happy, and said with a smile: "Xiao Li'er is more beautiful the longer she grows." ”

"Master Niu, how many are you here today?" Xu Huizhen greeted with a smile.

Niu Ye smiled and said: "Let's come two taels first, a plate of flowering beans, a drink in the snow, I'm afraid I'll go out and fall a big horse when I drink too much, haha." ”

He Yumei served the wine and food, and Niu Ye took out a gourd from his arms and put it aside.

Xiao Li'er tilted her head and looked at it, "It's been ......." ”

"Hey, I know a lot." Niu Ye said with a smile.

Xiao Li'er said: "Yes." ”

Xu Deyong said: "I raised two before, but they were laymen, and they were both raised to death, Li'er still remembers." ”

Niu Ye smiled and said, "Then Niu Ye will play with you for a while, and you will return it to me later." ”

Xiao Li'er pouted and said, "Call." ”

Niu Ye said: "Oh, I'll call it later." ”

Then he looked at Xu Deyong and said, "Why, you guys who are a public manager and a private manager, just sit like this, don't drink a little to take care of your own business." ”

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "I'll just bring the little guy over to see the excitement, I don't plan to drink, since Niu Ye speaks, then accompany you to drink two taels." ”

Cai Quanwu glanced at He Yumei and said, "I don't plan to drink it, I'm going to help." ”

He Yumei said: "What do you help with, just accompany Niu Ye and Deyong to drink." ”

As he spoke, he served food and drinks.

"Hey, hey." Cai Quanwu grinned twice.

The three of them poured wine and took a sip each, opened the chatterbox, and as they were talking, the film master walked in leisurely and hit the snow on his body.

Niu Ye smiled and said, "Yo, Manager Qiu is here, I will reserve a seat for you here." ”

Pian Ye shook his head and said, "Yes, Master Niu, you see that you are making fun of me, what kind of manager am I." ”

After saying goodbye to everyone, he also asked for two taels of wine to sit down, but he didn't ask for food, and brought a piece of pickle by himself.

Niu Ye waited for him to pour the wine, and then couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, I heard what you said, and there was a conflict with Manager Chen?" ”

Xu Deyong and Cai Quanwu were all smiling and silent.

Pian Ye took a sip of wine, glanced out and said, "Contradictions? I also have to have that qualification, I'm just a listener, naturally Manager Chen takes the idea. ”

Niu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, you still have resentment in your heart, this person, we have to learn to be content." ”

Pian Ye said: "I'm content, but I received the position of public manager, and I have to explain to the street, isn't it ......." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and did not continue, and said, "Sensei said this, come, let's drink." ”

If you are not in his position, you are not in charge, this person has troubles at every stage.

It's as if they say, "What's so annoying about your age, you're nothing, you'll understand when you grow up." ”

But every age has its own pain and pressure, and there is never a high or low one.

In adulthood, many people's loss is against their youthful aspirations.

I think I'm mature, I think I'm sophisticated, I think I'm shrewd, but I've been naïve before, and I've finally seen through it and wanted to wear it.

As a result, we become the kind of people we hated the most when we were young.

Xu Deyong took a sip of the wine glass together, some people's lives were changed because of his arrival, and they may eventually go on the original trajectory.

……

The next day, the snow stopped!

Xu Deyong started to remove the snow early in the morning, and after breakfast and cleaned up for a while, Xiao Li'er followed behind with a small wooden shovel to help, and fell several butts.

After tidying up the yard, Xu Deyong took Xiao Li'er out to buy half a pig's head and some pig intestines and pig liver, which were more than one-third cheaper than pork, and the pig intestines cost some money for people to deal with them.

Back at home, Xu Deyong rinsed it several times, and after processing the pig's head outside, he put it all into the cauldron in the room, put seasonings and boiled.

Xiao Li'er pouted her little butt and hugged the firewood, and muttered vaguely: "Burn the fire and eat meat." ”

"Snack goods." Xu Deyong said with a smile.

I had a good meal at noon, and then divided half of it, and in the evening the family took it back to the courtyard .......
