A heavy snowfall, some people are happy and some are sad.

The happy ones are naturally these snowball fights and snowman building children.

Xu Deyong parked the car, held something in one hand, held Xiaoli'er in the other, and accompanied Xu Huizhen, who had a big belly, into the hospital without hurrying.

The snow in the courtyard is piled up in the corner, and the road has been cleared.

After greeting the people he met, Xu Deyong took the two of them back to the house, looked at the snow that had been cleared at the door, lifted the thick curtain and went in: "Grandma, do you clear the snow at the door?" Don't be tired, didn't you say I'd come back if it snowed! ”

Xu Nanshi was busy working, and she seemed to be a little younger and more energetic than last year, she smiled and said, "I didn't clear it very much, it was Silly Zhu and Yushui who helped clear it." ”

Xu Deyong's eyebrows moved and said: "That's it, that can't let the family do it in vain, we have to thank you, just right, I brought some pig's head meat and let their brothers and sisters come for a meal." ”

"You can just do it." Xu Nanshi said casually, and it was rare to get up Xiaoli'er.

"Too much." Xiao Li'er said vaguely.

"Hey, little girl, come on, let the grandmother hug me."

Xu Nanshi immediately instructed again: "Huizhen, you can pay attention to your body and rest quickly." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Hey, grandma, I know." ”

Xu Deyong turned around and went out to He Yuzhu's house, there was a faint sound of stir-frying inside, he knocked on the door and said, "Pillar." ”

Soon, He Yuzhu opened the door with a shovel and said, "Yo, it's mediocre, what's the matter?" ”

"Brother Yong." He Yushui, who was doing his homework by the stove, also got up and said.

"Hmm." Xu Deyong nodded in response, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I cooked some pig's head meat today, please go over and eat some together." ”

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "It's okay, what are you going to do when you invite us to dinner!" ”

Xu Deyong said: "Why is it okay, I heard my grandmother say that the snow in the morning was cleared by you and the rain." ”

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said: "Hey, what should I do, what is this, a trivial matter is not worth mentioning, you can eat, I am almost done." ”

Xu Deyong smiled lightly and said, "I have wine." ”

He Yuzhu licked his lips when he heard the words and said: "Hey, ...... the wine, if you come to eat with me, it will be inconvenient for the old man and the child, I also hide some peanuts here." ”

Xu Deyong thought for a while and said, "Cheng, I'll go back and say something." ”

He Yuzhu immediately grinned and said, "Come on, then I'll wait for you." ”

After Xu Deyong left, He Yushui said happily: "Brother Deyong is so good, he has meat to eat." ”

He Yuzhu showed a look of disgust on his face: "Look at your unproductive appearance, don't you just eat some pig's head meat." ”

He Yushui pouted and said, "Then don't eat it later, it's still my start to help Grandma Nan remove the snow!" ”

"Hey, I'm the main force, why don't I eat, don't show my unproductive appearance later!" He Yuzhu admonished.

He Yushui said: "Brother, you better take care of yourself first." ”

Xu Deyong went home and said, Xu Nanshi waved his hand and said, "Go, go, take two cakes, you drank too much." ”

Xu Huizhen glanced at him secretly and said, "Take a piece of pickle." ”

Xu Deyong grinned, cut some large intestines, pork liver, and pork head meat, made a plate, and took pickles, cakes, and a small jar of wine out of the house.

The little stick terrier, who was pouting and playing with the snow at the door, saw him and shouted, "Uncle Deyong." ”

Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Have you eaten?" ”

The little stick terrier glanced at it and said, "No, mom is doing it, what about my sister, I want to play with my sister." ”

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "My sister is eating at home, if you want to play, go to play at home." ”

The little stick terrier is young, and he can't play with Yan Jiekuang and others who are old in the courtyard, so he doesn't want to take him to play, but he can tease children to play, and he has played with Xiaoli'er before.

The little stick terrier was happy on his face, and then pouted: "Eat, don't go, otherwise grandma will say that mom won't let you go to someone else's house during dinner." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and didn't say anything else, thought for a while and said, "Come here, Uncle Deyong will give you a piece of meat." ”

Hearing that there was meat to eat, the little stick terrier's eyes lit up, and he ran over with a fart.

Xu Deyong pinched a piece of pig's head meat and gave it to him: "Okay, let's play." ”

The little stick terrier stuffed the meat into his mouth, looked at the meat on Xu Deyong's plate and blinked, and reluctantly turned his head away.

Xu Deyong turned around and came into He Yuzhu's house, He Yuzhu's peanuts were almost fried, and when he saw that he had taken so many things, he said, "Hey, you are a little more particular." ”

He Yushui had already put the chair away, and said with a smile: "Brother Deyong, you sit." ”

Xu Deyong nodded and threw the pickles to He Yuzhu and sat down at the table.

He Yuzhu took it and said with a smile: "Hey, pickles." ”

He sniffed it and said, "That's the smell, is there any secret recipe for your family's pickles, why can't I pickle it." ”

"Guess." Xu Deyong said.

He Yuzhu pouted slightly: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, I didn't ask you for the secret recipe." ”

Saying "Bang Bang Bang" and began to cut it, he still said in his mouth: "Originally, I wanted to mix a cabbage heart cold, so there was left, and the four dishes were just right." ”

……

The little stick terrier licked his tongue and went home, chewing on a little shredded meat in his teeth.

"Mom, when will I have a sister!" The little stick terrier ran to Qin Huairu's side and asked.

Qin Huairu said: "Ask your dad to go." ”

"Ahem." Jia Dongxu coughed and was about to speak.

Jia Zhang's small eyes glared: "What sister! If you want to, you have to have a younger brother. ”

The little stick terrier tilted his head and said, "I want a sister, not a brother." ”

Jia Zhangshi said: "My sister is not good, my sister is a drag oil bottle, and my younger brother can only help you when he grows up." ”

"Hmph, I don't want to." Then he ran to Jia Dongxu and said, "Dad, when will you have a sister." ”

Jia Dongxu grinned and said, "It's soon, next year." ”

The little stick terrier seemed to understand and said: "Oh, next year, it's been a long time!" He licked his lips again.

Jia Dongxu saw that his mouth was oily and said, "Are you stinky boy stealing meat oil again?" ”

The little stick terrier immediately said, "No." ”

"Dare to lie, lying is not a good boy." Jia Dongxu said with a deliberate face.

The little stick terrier tilted his head and said, "No, Uncle Yong has to give me meat." ”

Qin Huairu glanced at it when she heard this, and took the cabbage out of the pot.

Jia Zhang said: "He will give you meat to eat!" ”

"Hmm." The little stick terrier nodded and said, "Uncle Yong has a plate of meat and goes to Silly Zhu's house." ”

Jia Zhang frowned and said, "You mean Xu Deyong took a plate of meat and went to Silly Zhu's house?" What is he doing stupidly? ”

Jia Dongxu was also a little puzzled.

Qin Huairu brought the dish to the table and said, "I don't think it's a stammer, it should be that people thank Silly Zhu for removing the snow in the morning." ”

There was also a plate of salad radish on the table.

Jia Zhang muttered: "Xu Deyong, that kid can be so generous!" ”

Qin Huairu brought the Erhe noodle wotou to the table again and said: "People have not been stingy for more than a year, otherwise these boys in the courtyard will have to be Yong Brother Yong and Yong Brother short, except for the three masters, who has this treatment." ”

Jia Dongxu smiled when he heard this, if those boys weren't called by adults, they would generally not pay much attention to him.

Jia Zhangshi said sourly: "Isn't it just that I found a petty bourgeois woman with two stinky money, if our family is also so rich, we will do these small favors." ”

Qin Huairu didn't say anything more.

Jia Dongxu coughed and said, "Don't talk about this, let's eat." ”

The little stick terrier blinked and suddenly said, "Dad has money, and it's all locked in a drawer." ”

Jia Dongxu glared and said, "You kid actually peeked, and you are not allowed to talk outside." ”

The little stick terrier pouted: "I can't get it, and I won't buy meat for the stick terrier to eat." ”

"It's almost the New Year, I'll buy it in two days." Jia Dongxu had no choice but to say.

Only then did the little stick terrier show a smile.

……

"Deyong, my brother envy you!"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, He Yuzhu blushed a little when he drank, and pulled Xu Deyong to say.

He Yushui was already full, the little girl touched her stomach, looked at the only few pieces of meat left on the plate and didn't put down the chopsticks, and couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw her brother like this and said, "Brother, you haven't drunk yet, don't be ashamed." ”

He Yuzhu looked at her and said, "You still said that without your little oil bottle, your brother and I would have found your sister-in-law for you." ”

He Yushui was angry at the beginning of her brother's "stinky mouth", but now she is accustomed to it, she said: "If you have it, you blame me, either you send me to my father, or you will run away from home." ”

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said: "Go, go, this is my home, why should I run away from home, the little girl goes to do her homework on the side, and the adults talk and the children interject." ”

He Yushui pouted and went to the stove to do his homework.

was disturbed by his own sister-in-law, He Yuzhu also lost the mood of "complaining", picked up the wine glass and said: "Come, the two brothers will go early, don't worry when you are not there in the future, your grandma is my grandma, and you will leave it to me if you have any strength." ”

Xu Deyong said angrily: "What do you mean I'm not here, it's okay to come back several times a week, and when Huizhen is about to give birth, I'll take my grandma over." ”

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "How can you be at ease in your own home under the fence ...... send people." ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Daddy......."

Xiao Li'er's cute voice sounded.

"Hey." Xu Deyong hurriedly responded.

"Giggle......." Xiao Li'er was happy when she heard the voice.

Xu Nanshi said: "This little girl didn't see you for a while and looked for you, Huizhen couldn't look at it, and always wanted to move around." ”

"Cheng, give it to me." Xu Deyong hugged the little guy over.

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Grandma Nan, let's eat some more at home." ”

Xu Nanshi glanced at him and chuckled: "No, I'm already full, you drink less, and you drink more." ”

"Well, I promise not to drink too much." He Yuzhu said.

He Yushui also said hello, Xu Nanshi didn't stay, and went back after saying a few words.

Xiao Li'er came to He Yuzhu's house for the first time, and looked around with some curiosity.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and smiled: "Li'er, I am your uncle, called uncle." ”

Xiao Li'er looked at him, turned her head and hid in Xu Deyong's arms, but the little nose sniffed, and seemed to dislike the smell of wine on Xu Deyong's body.

He Yushui squatted aside and said with a smile: "Li'er, call your aunt, is it okay for your aunt to play with you." ”

"Goo." Xiao Li'er grinned.

"Hey." He Yushui happily agreed.

Xu Deyong put Xiao Li'er down, and Xiao Li'er saw that her father was there, and she didn't recognize her life, so she began to walk around to take a look.

Xu Deyong said to He Yushui: "You hold her, don't let her fall and take things randomly." ”

He Yushui nodded and followed happily.

Xu Deyong smiled, in fact, it would be good if there was a "Dehua" at home to take care of the children.

The two drank for a while, one of them had almost four or five taels, and He Yuzhu drank more.

At this time, He Yushui's voice came from inside: "Brother, why haven't you washed your stinky socks yesterday?" ”

He Yuzhu said with a little uneasiness on his face: "Okay, don't make noise, you won't help my brother wash it." ”

"I don't want it." He Yushui led Xiao Li'er out.

Xiao Li'er's calf "swooped" and pounced on Xu Deyong's leg, walking too fast and almost falling down.

"What are you anxious about?" Xu Deyong helped him and said.

Xiao Li'er pouted, "Stinky ......." ”

As he spoke, he pointed diagonally with his little hand, which should be He Yuzhu's house.

"Hahaha......."

Xu Deyong and He Yushui couldn't help laughing.

He Yuzhu's face was even more red.

Xiao Li'er was stunned for a moment when she saw everyone smiling, so she also smiled gregariously.

Xu Deyong didn't stay any longer, and after a few casual gossips, he went back with Xiaoli'er.

waited for the others to leave, and without waiting for He Yushui to speak, He Yuzhu preemptively said: "Yes, sister, you said it, I'll wash it away." ”

He Yushui muttered: "I have to let the one-year-old doll say ......." ”

……

During this time, it is the season of skating in Sijiu City, Xu Hui is really inconvenient, Xu Deyong often takes Xiao Lier out to play, and also makes a special ice car for Xiao Lier, the little guy is not to mention how happy he is every time he plays, and he never forgets it.

When I think about it, I pester him to go to the pulley.

The days passed, and the year passed in a blink of an eye.

The year is coming to an end, and the city has changed a lot, building roads, demolishing city walls, and the whole city is like a big construction site.

For example, the Chaoyang Gate Tower was demolished this year; Next year, the arrow tower will be demolished.

The city gate that was once breached by the Eight-Nation Alliance will be gone, and the original building components that were preserved before demolition for later use are also scattered in the "buzz".

Too many old things pass away, and new things fill them.

Realize that the past is not Cambodian, and those who know the future can be chased!

In the afternoon of this day, the tavern opened, and there were only Xu Huizhen and Zhao Yali.

Zhao Yali took the rag and checked the table again and said, "Huizhen, there are not many guests at this time, you can go home and rest with a big belly, anyway, you can come over at any time when you are so close." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll rest when I go back, I just want to have something to sum up with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yali put down the rag and said.

Xu Huizhen smiled: "This is not the end of the year, I want to ask, how much extra balance can we take out of our income in the past year, after excluding the "four horses and fattening", to help the families in difficulty in our tavern!" ”

Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment, the difficult family living in the tavern, their family said that the first no one said the second.

She pursed her lips and said, "Huizhen, you, are you thinking about me?" ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Your eight sons, half of the eldest son eats Lao Tzu to death, the government advocates helping the poor and helping the poor, we are a demonstration unit of public-private partnership, and we should take the lead." ”

Hearing Xu Huizhen say this, Zhao Yali couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice.

Xu Huizhen hurriedly said: "Hey, Sister Zhao, don't cry, this is not how it should be." ”

"What do you want me to say?" Zhao Yali wiped her tears and said, "I used to ...... it." ”

Xu Huizhen interrupted: "Okay, Sister Zhao, those are all in the past, I am angry with Manager Cai about this matter, he has no objection, but everyone has to have a meeting together." ”

"Well, thank you Hye-jin." Zhao Yali said with red eyes.

A day later, in the evening, several people from the tavern who had been notified of the meeting came back one after another, waiting for the guests to leave for the meeting.
