Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

In a blink of an eye, it’s the New Year’s Day.

The Zhou family got busy early in the morning.

"Boss, go see why Xiao Song hasn't come yet."

"Boy, keep an eye on the fire, don't stew the chicken in the dry pot.

Let's put all the sauerkraut in the pot, it will have to stew for a while, and the meat will be tight and sliced. "

"Third brother, please wipe the kang carefully again and put away everything on the kang.

When you're done, hurry up and help your second sister pack the dishes. "

"Fourth, please wipe the table quickly, then go and brush the bowls and chopsticks again and bring them over."

"Xiao Wu, put the snacks, melon seeds, and candies on the table. Your brother Song will be here soon. Remember to get him some candies."

Early in the morning, Mrs. Yao ordered her daughters around.

I was also getting some newly made clothes for Old Man Zhou to put on.

"Mom, stop being busy. It's only after eight o'clock. He can't come so early."

Zhou Jinxin looked at the time helplessly.

I had said hello before and said I would arrive around ten o'clock.

Her mother even asked her to go out twice so early.

"I'm not in a hurry, I just want you to go out and watch and greet him. It's your first time coming to our house to celebrate the New Year, so be enthusiastic."

It can be said that Mrs. Yao attaches great importance to Song Zhengyang's visit to the house.

Xiao Song's parents are not around during the Chinese New Year, so we have to be more enthusiastic and let him come here just like going home.

"Okay, I see."

Zhou Jinxin nodded, just go, it's better to be cold than to watch her mother spin around like this, and go to welcome Comrade Xiao Song.

"Wait a minute, why don't you wear the new clothes Xiao Song bought for you.

Go, go, go back to the house and change. "

Mrs. Yao suddenly discovered that Zhou Jin was wearing the same worn-out cotton-padded jacket that he had worn when working at home.

This kid is celebrating the New Year, and Xiao Song is coming, and he doesn’t know how to change into new clothes.

Wearing this shabby cotton-padded jacket, people would not think that she, a mother, was abusing her eldest daughter.

"No, Mom, we won't be visiting relatives, and there won't be any outsiders at home. It won't be convenient to wear new clothes, and it won't be convenient for us to work."

Zhou Jinxin shook his head. Wearing new clothes would be inconvenient for work. He had to cook and stir-fry all at once. After eating, he had to clear the table and wash the dishes.

If this gets dirty right after you put it on, it will be hard to wash.

"What do you need to do? Just cook and wash the dishes. I will take your sisters and do it.

Just greet Xiao Song today.

Go and change it quickly. "

Mrs. Yao immediately expressed her position.

You don't have to do anything today.

Just dress beautifully and greet Xiao Song.

Zhou Jinxin heard what her mother said and hurried back to the house to change clothes.

Don't argue with her mother, otherwise this little old lady can educate her for a day.

Wearing rose-red clothes can indeed make you look energetic.

As soon as Zhou Jinxin came out after changing her clothes, she was praised by her mother, Ms. Yao Yawen.

“Look, how energetic it is.

It’s Chinese New Year, and it looks festive. "

Old Mrs. Yao saw her eldest daughter coming out in bright red clothes, with a smile on her face.

"Sister, your clothes are so beautiful."

Zhou Jinjie had just brought the dishes and chopsticks into the house. When she came out, she saw Zhou Jinxin wearing new clothes. She immediately ran over and looked around, uttering praises.

"Sister, I'm already pretty, but she looks even better in this dress."

Xiao Wu also ran out and nodded in agreement.

"Just your sweet mouth."

Zhou Jinjie gave Xiao Wu a white look.

"No, our eldest sister feels more energetic when she wears those clothes."

Zhou Jinling, who was helping in the kitchen, glanced outside and turned back to talk to Zhou Jinkun.

Zhou Jinkun also looked outside and nodded without saying a word.

She had seen this dress at the supply and marketing cooperative. It was very valuable.

I originally thought I would save some money to buy something I like to wear during the New Year.

As a result, after saving for several months, when I asked about the price, even a small change was not enough.

Her mother also bought new clothes for her sisters for the New Year, but the styles and colors were much different.

"Okay, stop making such a fuss.

Xiao Song will be here soon, please remember to say hello and don't be silent. "

Old Mrs. Yao saw that her daughters were all wearing new clothes, and the kitchen was fully prepared for the New Year. She suddenly felt that her family had a lot to look forward to.

Isn't this just getting better and better?

"Aunt Zhou, she has steamed sticky bean buns at home. I'll get you some."

While he was talking, Aunt Chen next door handed over some steaming sticky bean buns along the wall.

"Oh, this is a good thing. When did you pack it?"

Mrs. Yao hurried to pick her up, her face bursting with joy.

"It's not packaged, it's sent from my relatives back home.

The authentic rhubarb rice is delicious. "

Aunt Chen felt very comfortable when she talked about the things sent by her relatives.

I still remember her, and I even know how to send her something during the Chinese New Year.

It shows that she is quite important in the hearts of her relatives.

"Second brother, are the sauerkraut stewed yet? I'll give you a bowl of it for Aunt Chen."

Old Mrs. Yao was too embarrassed not to return the favor after taking someone else's bean buns, so she quickly called Zhou Jinkun.

Zhou Jinkun was speechless. The sauerkraut had just come out of the pot. Have you agreed?

“Mom, the sauerkraut will be ready for a while.

A lot of peanuts have been roasted. Aunt Chen, please take them back and give them to Sister Yuanyuan to try. "

Zhou Jinkun was sitting on the edge of the stove, roasting peanuts on the edge of the stove while looking at the fire. He had roasted quite a few peanuts all morning, so he just happened to get some for Aunt Chen.

"Hey, okay, okay.

It just so happens that there are many people at home, and these peanuts are so fragrant. "

Aunt Chen was not polite, took the peanuts and went back to the house.

The children are all here today, and they just have peanuts as a snack.

"I just remembered it when Aunt Chen said it.

This is the Chinese New Year, and I didn’t even mention sending anything to your second aunt.

They have a hard time in the countryside.

I don’t know how the New Year things are prepared.

Do you have new clothes to wear, do you buy meat, do you want to make dumplings?

But don’t even have enough food to eat. "

When Mrs. Yao heard Aunt Chen say that her relatives had sent her something, she thought of her sister's arrival. She was worried that her sister would not have new clothes to wear, and that she would not have meat to eat.

What a worry.

"Mom, you are really worried.

With my second aunt's physique, if anyone in the family doesn't have enough to eat, my second aunt will not have enough to eat either.

Every piece of meat has to be hers. "

Zhou Jinjie thought of her second aunt's ability to show off her rice, which was truly unparalleled.

Not enough to eat?Absolutely not.

"What are you talking about, kid?"

Mrs. Yao was unhappy when she heard this.

Why does this kid have such a bad mouth?

If she hadn't wanted to make her angry during the Chinese New Year, she would have had to deal with her.

"Mom, don't worry.

Life in rural areas is getting better now.

If you are worried, wait two days and go take a look. "

Zhou Jinxin knew that her mother missed her girl.

"What am I going to do?

I went to see what your dad was doing.

With such an old thing, I can't go anywhere. "

Old Mrs. Yao turned around and looked into the room. Old man Zhou was sitting on a chair dressed neatly and looking out.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to drink water or relieve yourself?"

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Yao hurried back to the house.

The old man couldn't live without her for a day.
