As the saying goes, 'Laba is the New Year', and for many rural people, the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year. Those who usually work in the town or city will rush home for reunion two days before the Spring Festival.

At this time, Xinmintun is undoubtedly the most neat time of the year. Only Mushanhe, who was still accompanied by his grandfather during the Spring Festival last year, is now alone. But this kind of Spring Festival, he has experienced too much in his previous life and is used to it.

"The Spring Festival, a family spends it, and a person has to spend it, as long as you don't feel lonely!"

Mu Shanhe, who comforted himself, began to be busy when he came back from the set. Changed to other Tunli people, they cleaned up the house inside and out long ago. But for Mushanhe, who has just returned to Tun, there are still a lot of things to do!

The chicken coop and dog shed that were not cleaned up earlier need to be cleaned up now. The snow that has not been cleared in the yard also needs to be cleared. Even if it will go down after cleaning, it should still be cleaned.

Just as night was approaching, Mu Shanhe, who was clearing the snow in the courtyard, soon saw a teenager trotting towards his house. When he saw Mu Shanhe, the other party also smiled and said, "Brother Shanzi, you are at home!" ”

"Yun Chao, something?"

"My grandfather said, let you come to my house for dinner in the evening. A few days ago, you weren't at home when I killed pigs! ”

Hearing this, Mu Shanhe thought for a while and said, "Your dad is back?" ”

"It's back! The mother and the third uncle and the third aunt have returned, and the second uncle is still on duty, and I am afraid that it will not come back until the Chinese New Year's Eve. Brother Shanzi, I heard my grandfather say, did you go to the mountains to guard the ginseng? Aren't you afraid of being alone? ”

"What are you afraid of? There are Daqing and guns, and Xiong Zhen is not afraid when he comes. What about you? I'm in the third year of junior high school, how are my grades? ”

The young man who ran to his house to shout for dinner in front of him was Mu Yunchao, the eldest grandson of the village chief Mu Xingfu, who was one year younger than Mu Shanhe. Earlier, the two were also studying in the town's middle school. The difference is that the other party is one level lower than him, and he is only in the third year of junior high school this year.

Faced with the inquiry, Mu Yunchao blushed a little and said, "Hey, can you not mention the results?" The results are not good! ”

From the words that the other party couldn't help but reply, it is not difficult to hear that this is also a scumbag. The difference is that as long as the other party finishes the third year of junior high school, he may have the opportunity to work as a temporary worker in the forest farm. When you become an adult, you may be able to turn positive.

The reason is simple, he has a father who works as a financial manager on the forestry farm. In this day and age, it is common for sons to inherit their father's business. This is also the reason why many people hope that their families can have someone to hold an iron rice bowl.

chatted some gossip, and Mu Yunchao didn't stay long. For the village chief's invitation, Mu Shanhe couldn't refuse. In any case, this old village chief is also a neighbor in Tunzili, who sincerely treats him as his own family.

Killing pigs and inviting them to eat is also a custom in Tunzi. Don't look at Mu Xingfu who doesn't go up the mountain much now, but in his early years, he was in the village, and his prestige was also very high. In addition, he has cultivated three sons who hold iron rice bowls, and no one in Tunli dares to provoke.

Feeding Daqing some food in advance, telling him to take care of his home, pulling the lights in the yard in advance, Mu Shanhe carried two bottles of wine and some gifts, and came to the courtyard where Mu Xingfu lived.

Compared with their own yard, the yard of the Mu family is significantly more spacious. Although the three sons have settled in the town and the city. But every Spring Festival, they will go back to Tunzi to accompany their parents for the New Year, which can be regarded as filial piety.

What surprised Mu Shanhe a little was that Mu Yunchao, who usually treated him with a very ordinary attitude, was extremely enthusiastic towards his father, Mu Youcheng. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smiled and said, "Shanzi, come over for a light meal, what are you still carrying these?" ”

"This is all for the old man, if you come empty-handed, it's not polite after all! Chengbo, when did you come back? ”

"Twenty-five will be back! This year, the forest farm had an early holiday, so I came back early, just in time to kill the pigs. It turns out that before, I also wanted Yun Chao to go to the mountains and call you back for dinner. Looking at Yunling, this kid may not know him. ”

"It's okay! I stayed in the mountains, and I actually had a pretty good life. Uncle Da is also back? ”

"It's back! He came back earlier than me, and Erwang was still on duty, afraid that he would not be able to rush back for dinner until Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"He is a police officer, and there are many things to do at this time. After all, they still need to guard the lights of thousands of homes! ”

Lifting the curtain to keep the wind warm, under the guidance of Mu Youcheng, Mu Shanhe finally walked into the warm living room of Mu's house. Seeing Mu Shanhe entering the door, Mu Xingfu, who was holding his little grandson, also got up in time and said, "Xiaoshanzi, here!" ”

"Grandpa Mu, is this Uncle Da's son?"

"Hmmm! Xiaoqi, this is Brother Shanzi. ”

Originally, I wanted to teach my little grandson to recognize people, but the little guy looked at Mu Shanhe and was still a little shy. Fortunately, Mu Shanhe also knows that the little guy who is less than three years old is indeed a little difficult to let him call someone he doesn't know.

Immediately, he pretended to take something out of his pocket, directly took out two White Rabbit toffee, squatted in front of the little guy and said, "Are you Xiaoqi?" Do you know who I am? Do you want to eat this toffee? ”

"Yes!"

"And who am I?"

The little guy glanced at his grandfather, and under his grandfather's teaching, he finally smiled and said, "You are Brother Shanzi!" ”

"Well, it's so good, it's so smart, I'll reward you with two toffee, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, brother!"

Hearing the milky voice calling his brother, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "Uncle Da, it seems that you teach your aunt well, although the little guy is not big, but he is very polite!" ”

"That's there! You haven't seen him skinned, and your aunt and I have a headache! ”

Mu Youda, who was helping out with the work before, is a driver for the county supply and marketing cooperative. In this day and age, this is a very sought-after and lucrative profession. As the saying goes, 'once the steering wheel turns, you won't change it for a county magistrate', which shows how popular the driver is.

Taking the opportunity to chat, Mu Shanhe took out a handful of toffee from his pocket and distributed it to other Mu family children who were older but also wanted to eat candy. Even if Mu Yunchao was older, he also gave a few directly.

After taking a seat, Mu Shanhe was a little surprised and said, "Grandpa Mu, I'm the only one tonight?" ”

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that they will pour you wine? Rest assured, they don't dare, and besides, you don't drink either. ”

"But I think it's a bit unbearable!"

"What are you afraid of, your grandfather and I are not brothers, but rather brothers. It's just you kid, or I want to take you as a grandson. In that case, wouldn't it be more convenient and closer for you to move to my house in the future? ”

"Or don't! If this is really the case, Yun Chao may complain to me and rob him of the position of the grandson of the Mu family! ”

After replying with a smile, the daughters-in-law of the Mu family, who were in charge of cooking, also began to serve hot meals. The difference is that there are only Mu Shanhe and Mu Jia's father and son in the master bedroom, and the others eat in the next room.

Eating on the kang is also one of the characteristics of the Northeast. In fact, in such a cold weather, if you don't eat on the kang and serve steaming hot dishes on the table, I'm afraid that it will freeze into ice lumps after a while.

Eating authentic pig-killing dishes, Mu Shanhe also felt quite a taste. But after eating for a while, seeing Mu Xingfu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he also said directly: "Grandpa Mu, you treat me as a grandson, you can just say anything if you have anything." ”

Through Mu Youcheng's warm reception before, Mu Xingfu always showed embarrassment. Mu Shanhe, who is a man in two lives, how could he not know about this meal, I am afraid that there is a reason in it that he does not know.

But for a while, Mu Shanhe really couldn't think of it, would it be difficult for the Mu family to ask for him? It stands to reason that it shouldn't!

I don't know why, so naturally I need the old man Mu to pick up the window paper. For Mu Shanhe, if there is really something he can help, then he will definitely help. I really can't help, so the old man can't blame him, right?
