Master is not to be provoked

After the new year, every family started to get busy. Ke Muai took the money and took Jing Yunsong and Zhao Muguo out to buy new year's goods.

The most important thing is to eat, [-] catties of soybean oil, [-] catties of sickle fish, and two kingfish. Rural people pay attention to having more than every year, so there must be fish on the table during the New Year's Eve dinner.Buy another five catties of beef and three catties of mutton will be enough.

One bag of apples, two boxes of oranges, ten catties of Maoka, ten catties of various candies, five catties of black dates, five catties of red dates, and twenty catties of peanuts.These are kept for plate, and everyone is free, or someone comes during the first month, and they take them out to grind their teeth.

The staple food and non-staple food are almost the same. There are people who kill pigs in the town, and then add a corner of the meat. The so-called corner means that a pig has been slaughtered, and the pig's head and ribs have been removed. , Those who keep the new year’s goods usually keep them in corners, either a hip tip or a front slot. Ke Muai directly asked for a rear hip tip, which weighed more than 40 kilograms, and a rib, eight pork knuckles, and eight pig trotters. All the front hoofs symbolize that you will spend more money in your arms in the new year, and if you have the back hoofs, you will kick out.

Then buy a leaf of liver, a heart, and two freshly filled blood sausages.Finally, I bought a pig's head and kept it for thirty nights to be used by the gods.

They bought it at home, and Xu Leyang also bought it outside. He went outside every day, went to the town or city, and bought whatever he saw that was good, except for prawns, squid, and shrimp rakes, which cannot be bought in the countryside. Each of the three children bought a new schoolbag and a new set of clothes from inside to outside. After the Chinese New Year, Ke Muyu will be 13 years old. It is the year of birth, and he advocates wearing red. Xu Leyang bought him a full set of red shirts and underpants alone. , red underwear, red socks, and a red belt.

Zhao Muguo did not expect that he also got a new set of clothes and a new schoolbag, and the style and workmanship were better than those bought by his mother in previous years. He was so happy that he kept saying thank you to my uncle, and even said something about Xu Leyang's pension in the future.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Leyang gave the workers in the factory a holiday, and he was also free to prepare for the New Year with his three children.

The clothes and quilts have already been washed. In fact, Xu Leyang bought a washing machine a long time ago. In the past two years, he just removed the sheets and quilts and put them in the washing machine to wash them casually. The hammer cloth stone was pulled over, the cauldron was boiled into paste and the quilt was boiled, and then Jing Yun was asked to hammer it. Zhao Muguo rushed to help, and Ke Muai asked him to help put on the skewers.

In terms of cooking, Ke Muai is definitely the leader in this family. Jing Yunsong dubbed him the logistics captain, and he took full charge of the cooking work during the Chinese New Year. Even Xu Leyang had to listen to him.

Pour oil into the cauldron, boil it, roll the neck of pheasant, fried cake, fake toad, coriander rolls, throw them in batches, and then there are all kinds of meat skewers, chicken gizzards, mushrooms, sausages, Finally, there are chicken racks that have been seasoned in advance.

The fried food filled a cardboard box, and the aroma wafted everywhere. Jing Yunsong first took a few to feed Lele and his children. Even Xu Leyang sighed: "I used to want to eat one It’s all hard work, and I have to be scolded by the number of people for a long time, and it’s only been a few years, and I can feed this thing to dogs!” He was not reluctant, he loved those dogs very much, just looked at them. A big box of fried food feels a little unreal.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Junyi came to the door: "My dad was picked up by my brother. I'm so pitiful at home alone, so I came here to join you. Do you welcome me?"

"Welcome, welcome, you can't even ask for it." Ke Muai said while meeting each other, and introduced to Zhao Muguo, "This is Uncle Bai, who is also my godfather. This is the child of my old aunt's family, named Guoguo."

"This kid is really...exquisite." Bai Junyi praised Zhao Muguo.

He was carrying big and small bags on his body, and he couldn't hold them anymore. Jing Yunsong went to take them and put them on the kang in the back room. The layout of this factory building is five rooms from north to south, and the three rooms in the south are open for workers to work. The first bedroom in the north is the bedroom of Ke Muai and Jing Yunsong. The room is relatively spacious, and there is a large desk for them to read and write. It is also far away from the factory building, so the noise during the day can be reduced.The second room from the north is divided into two small rooms, the inner room is Xu Leyang's bedroom, and the outer room is the kitchen.

Bai Junyi walked to the room with ease, took off his coat and hung it on the wall, picked up the teapot on the table and poured water by himself, and drank three cups before spitting out: "I have traveled all the way, carrying so many Things, almost exhausted me, where is your godfather?"

"I went out to buy candles, and Mu Mu explained that I will have a candlelight dinner at midnight tomorrow night."

"What? Candlelight dinner? What have you prepared? Is there red wine?"

"There is no red wine, only the mince wine made by myself." Ke Muai continued in the outhouse, "Lighting candles, eating dumplings, eating pig's trotters, chicken feet, why not? Lighting candles and eating dumplings has also been our Chinese tradition for thousands of years. It's traditional, and it's not only foreigners who have candlelight dinners, godfather, you are so rare."

"Okay, okay, as long as you are well-informed, godfather is rare and strange!" Bai Junyi came out to see if he needed help, and was assigned by Ke Muai to chop sauerkraut. Ke Muai was going to make six kinds of dumplings, pork sauerkraut, Pork cabbage, beef celery, beef shiitake mushrooms, lamb scallions, lamb radish, all mixed together, any one is a surprise!

It's just that it takes a lot of work, but fortunately there are helpers, and the festive spirit of the New Year is this. The whole people participate and do it yourself, which is more interesting. If you deal with it casually, or wait for ready-made ones, it will be boring. Dan, it is also for this reason that the firecrackers are not set off when they go out for a New Year's Eve dinner, let alone write a pair of palace lanterns.

When Xu Leyang came back, he was also very happy to see Bai Junyi: "I know that Uncle Bai has gone to the city. A few days ago, Mumu persuaded me to call you over to celebrate the New Year together. I wondered if you should also go to the city with me , I didn’t shout.”

"It's only natural for my brother to pick up my dad. Why would a younger brother like me go with me? Especially my sister-in-law... Forget it, anyway, this year I will be a big family with you. If it's not good, I will come next year. Later Come every year, and you won’t come until you marry a daughter-in-law.”

"Why don't you come after my uncle is married?" Zhao Muguo asked in puzzlement.

"Silly boy! He is married and has younger siblings. How can I come here again? I can't even kiss my own sister-in-law, let alone a younger sibling. Remember, when you grow up, if you know how to watch Look at people, don't please others."

"It seems that your resentment towards your sister-in-law is really not ordinary." Xu Leyang said with a smile while feeding the dog eggs, "Then I will attack you, and I will not get married. From now on, you can come every year , are in their [-]s and [-]s, and they have already married, so it’s just us two old bachelors watching the Spring Festival Gala together, hehe, it’s quite interesting.”

After dinner, Bai Junyi took out all the things he brought: "Buy a set of clothes for Songsong and Mumu, and Mumu will be the year of the year next year, so I bought him a red shirt and underpants, and a red shirt. Underpants, red socks, now, red belt."

Ke Muai reached out to put her hand on her forehead: "It's red again! My brother-in-law bought me a set, red underwear and red socks, it's so embarrassing to wear." Ke Muai never liked to wear red clothes, she felt so gaudy .

Xu Leyang took the clothes over and folded them for him: "What embarrassment? It's just a matter of trying to be auspicious next year. Even if you wear it for a day on the first day of the new year, it's the same thing."

"But I have two sets. How can I wear one for the first day of the new year? Songsong, can you help me wear one set? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we each have a set. Be my companion." Jing Yunsong smiled. She nodded, expressing her willingness to share his troubles.

Bai Junyi continued to pack his things: "I bought four more scarves, two big and two small, one for each of us. I originally wanted to buy Transformers for them, but then I thought they were both grown up, and that one was a child. For fun, I bought a set of four-wheel drive for each of them, this one is better, and I need to assemble it myself."

Ke Muai didn't expect to have his own toys. He is already an adult. Although he has money now, he has never thought about buying any toys, such as Ultraman, Kesai, glass balls, fans, etc. Yes, they are not interested, Xu Leyang knows that he and Jing Yunsong are both young and mature, and never thought of buying toys for them.

But think about it, in the eyes of others, he is only 12 years old this year, and he is still a green young boy, Jing Yunsong is 14 years old, and he is just a half-grown child, how can he not like toys?

Bai Junyi also bought Xu Leyang a set of clothes and a pair of army hook leather shoes. These are genuine products he got from the army through personal relations. When Ke Yongli was rich, he also bought a pair at the shoe store for 70 yuan. It turned out to be artificial leather. When the weather is cold, the paint cracks and peels off as soon as the aisle is worn. After wearing it for a year, it changes from leather shoes to cloth shoes.

At night, Xu Leyang and Bai Junyi slept in the same room, and the three children went back to the north room. Ke Muguo found Zhao Muguo unhappy: "Guoguo, what's wrong with you? We didn't invite you or provoke you, why are you upset? "

Zhao Muguo sniffed and shook his head lightly: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just homesick." After talking about it, there was already a cry.

Ke Muai felt that Zhao Muguo would have to cry if he continued on the topic of homesickness. Today is already 29, and tomorrow will be New Year’s Eve. Ke Yongju and his wife were silent on both sides. They said they wanted to take the child back, but Ke Muguo was embarrassed to ask, Otherwise, it would be like disliking Zhao Muguo, but we can't just say that he will stay here for the New Year. After all, the couple fights and persuades to make peace but not to leave. When the New Year is older, who doesn't want to be reunited and asks to keep other people's children at their own home for the New Year. Not auspicious either.

So he could only change the subject immediately, and unpacked all the boxes containing the four-wheel drive: "Come on, let's assemble the four-wheel drive, my godfather didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would definitely bring you one, I Let me assemble this one for you, and Songsong and I will assemble one, then we will have a race to see whose car runs faster!"

If he alone has it, he will give it to Zhao Muguo. After all, he is not a real child, but now Jing Yunsong also has it, and he is a pair with him. He doesn't want to give it to anyone, and only agrees to lend it to Zhao Muguo to play here. , but Zhao Muguo is also very happy. Although Ke Yongju and his wife are used to him, their family background is not particularly rich after all, and they will not buy such things for him, so their attention is quickly attracted.
