Early in the morning, I heard Chen Jianfeng's son Chen Xingzong shouting outside: "Brother Bang, Brother Bang......"

Su Jing got up early and opened the courtyard door: "Xingzong, your brother hasn't gotten up yet." ”

"Sister-in-law, tell Brother Bang to get up, don't cook in the morning, go to my house to eat pig-killing rice." Chen Xingzong said with a smile.

"Okay." Su Jing nodded, "Do you want me to help out with anything?" ”

"There is no need to help, the fifth uncle and the uncle are already there, and the pigs have been killed." Chen Xingzong had already run away as he spoke, "I'm going back to count, you tell Brother Bang." ”

Chen Xingbang went down to the first floor, shrunk his head and said, "Calling to help?" ”

"No, let's go eat pig-killing rice. Otherwise, you hurry up to the town to buy vegetables and come back, although the sky is not completely bright, but the last market day of the year must be very early, you come back after buying things early, and we will go to the fourth uncle to eat pig rice together. ”

"Okay, then you go up and wake up Xiao Xi." Chen Xingbang got into the car and disappeared here in an instant.

By the time Chen Xingbang came to the town, it was almost dark.

And there are already many people in the town, because this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is in time for the market day, so everyone will choose to buy good materials for the New Year on this day, which is relatively fresh.

Of course, far away may not be the same.

Chen Xingbang had already thought about what he was going to buy.

Chickens, ducks, fish, and these things are available at home.

If you want pork, you can definitely get some back from the fourth uncle, anyway, it's all bought with money, where to buy it, not to buy it.

So I bought pig's trotters, some tofu, other vegetables and so on.

I also bought some red envelopes.

In the end, after making sure that there was nothing missing, Chen Xingbang drove the car back to his home.

Su Jing helped to get the things down together.

"Xingzong just came over again, and said that the meal will start soon." Su Jing opened her mouth and said, "Let's go, don't let others wait for us." ”

Chen Xingbang put his things down, hugged Liu Xiaoxi, and took Su Jing to the fourth uncle's house.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of the fourth uncle's house, I saw that it was already busy.

The first thing that rushed up was the smell of pig.

But seeing that in that corner, the blood red and the water traces were mixed together, and it looked like the New Year pig had just been sacrificed there.

In the pig rack, there are only two pork legs left.

It seems that the fourth uncle left it for himself.

The others have long been sold out.

In fact, the killing of New Year's pigs is usually agreed with the people in the village in advance, and everyone will come to cut the meat by themselves on the day of killing.

"Xingbang, hurry up." Over there, Chen Jianfeng saw him coming, and immediately pointed and said, "There is someone here, hurry up and sit down." ”

There were two tables of people here, and quite a few were standing.

Chen Xingbang sat down wherever he was embarrassed, but asked Su Jing to find a place to sit down, and he took the bowl and started eating.

Killing pigs can be regarded as a treat to the family.

The custom here is that whoever kills a pig, then the brothers will go to eat a pig-killing meal together.

What pig offal or whatever, what pork or something...... Basically, whatever can be eaten on this pig will be used in it.

In that era when meat was scarce, this thing was fragrant, and it was simply the food that everyone wanted to eat the most.

Chen Xingbang misses such a scene.

Because with the development of society, the pig industry has gradually become industrialized, and even the people who live in the village will no longer raise pigs.

If there are no pigs, there will be no such pig-killing rice to eat.

There will be no such scene.

Over there, Chen Jianfeng walked over and said, "Xingbang, come to my house at noon for the New Year, and I will call everyone." ”

The so-called New Year here refers to eating a hearty meal during the New Year.

Don't underestimate this meal.

Everyone is not rich these days, and after a year of busy work, everyone wants to eat something good, so they will pay special attention to it.

And it doesn't have to be in the evening, it can be at noon.

Because on the first day of the next new year, the custom here is to eat fast.

In order to save trouble, some people will celebrate the New Year at noon, wash some pots and bowls in the afternoon, and wait for the first day of the new year to start fasting, which is more convenient.

"Fourth uncle, don't you need it." Chen Xingbang shook his head, glanced at so many people, and said softly, "I'm celebrating the New Year at night, forget it, you see so many people, if you really celebrate the New Year at your house, then my fourth aunt will have to die of busyness." ”

"You're welcome!" Chen Jianfeng said, "It's all a family, what are you afraid of." ”

Chen Xingbang said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, forget it this year, you see that there are so many people in everyone, it's really not polite, everyone has a lot of people, don't you have to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, it's good for everyone to drink tea together at that time." ”

"Okay then."

After eating, everyone chatted for a while.

"By the way......" Chen Jianfeng interjected at this time, "Big brother, third brother, Jianfa, let me ask you, where are we going to eat and drink on the first day of the new year?" ”

Everyone was stunned and at a loss for a while.

In previous years, they all went to the old house, which was their ancestral home after all.

Five families moved a few tables, each family produced some dried fruits and other things, and got tea and wine, which can be regarded as a small gathering for the New Year.

But now they have almost no contact with Chen Jiansheng, and it doesn't seem to be good to go over to pay New Year's greetings.

"Go to my house." Chen Xingbang said, "I just moved here this year, and everyone has warmed up the house for us to increase popularity." ”

"Yes." Chen Jianguo immediately said, "That's it, go to Xingbang's new home, and everyone will gather there." ”

"That's it, that's all."

After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed.

Today's Chinese New Year, everyone still has a lot of things to do.

Naturally, their parents also returned to Chen Xingbang's new home.

"Dad, I see you bring all the clothes...... Chen Xingbang said to his father when he went back, "I live here, the old house will be demolished and rebuilt after the beginning of spring, and I will have to move to live here anyway." ”

Chen Jianguo glanced at Liu Xiuxiu.

"Okay!" Liu Xiuxiu was very happy, "Xingbang, Mom has long wanted to live in your new house." ”

You mean I'm still late?

"Done!" Chen Jianguo groaned, the main thing is that everyone is also lively together during the New Year, and when the time comes, they have to greet guests or go to relatives, and the family is indeed better here.

"Go pack your things." Chen Jianguo said to Liu Xiuxiu and them, "Xingtian, you will be responsible for bringing things over." ”

"Okay." Chen Xingtian smiled.

"Dad, how are we going to live in this house?" Qian Yumei asked.

"Mom and Dad live in the first-floor suite I left for them...... Chen Xingbang said, "just the one at the front, the other suite on the first floor......

Chen Xingbang looked at his sister-in-law and Qian Yumei.

The sister-in-law spoke: "Give Yumei and Xingtian, Yumei is pregnant now, and it is more convenient to take a bath and go to the bathroom." ”
