As soon as the dumplings were made, Zhao Yingjun and Miao Na also came over, bringing two small whips. Seeing his sister and brother-in-law coming, Xiao Chengzi frowned and said, "You just got married, so you don't want to have the New Year's Eve dinner at home with your family.

What are you doing here?"

"Brother, you don't even know that his six younger brothers may have eaten it! During dinner, my mother-in-law and I finished cleaning up the kitchen, and almost half of the food on the table was eaten. Before I could finish half the bowl of rice, there was only the bottom of the dish left.

I'm still hungry now!" Miao Na got her wish and married Zhao Yingjun, with a smile on her face and she talked a lot more than before.

"Xiaolan, are you okay if I come with the British Army?" Miao Na took Xiaolan's hand.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are many people and the life is prosperous!" Xiaolan smiled and brought some frozen autumn pears to Miao Na and Da Junzi.

"It's so sweet! Our family also bought some frozen autumn pears, and Yingjun and I only caught one!" Miao Na ate sweetly.

"Even if you two are single, you have to take care of your family. There are many younger brothers in the army, and the family burden is heavy. You should be more diligent and help your mother-in-law with more work!" Xiao Chengzi has matured a lot in the past two years and is very capable of being an older brother.

appearance.

Xiaolan was in charge of dinner, with Kang Jing and Miao Na serving as assistants. The men drank tea, ate hazelnuts and melon seeds, and chatted all over the world.

The New Year's Eve dinner is very sumptuous, including braised pork, stewed mackerel, fried hairtail, stir-fried tenderloin with pine tree umbrella, stewed dried beans with vermicelli, shredded cabbage mixed with shredded dried tofu, stewed goose with pickled cabbage, fried meat with fungus, and eight hard vegetables, the staple food

It's dumplings stuffed with pork and pickled cabbage, and a bottle of sorghum white wine.

Xiao Chengzi and Da Junzi led Zhao Laosi to light up the fire, set off firecrackers, and received the gods. Xiaolan and the others had already cooked the dumplings and put a plate of steaming dumplings on the altar table for the ancestors of Lao Zhao's family.

Zong prepared the tribute.

Before dinner, Xiao Lan took her fourth brother and knelt down to kowtow to Queen Mother Du to pay New Year greetings. Queen Mother Du had already prepared a set of silver needles for Xiao Lan and a fox fur hat for Zhao Laosi.

Queen Mother Du and Xiaolan did not drink. This was a rule established by Queen Mother Du. The remaining people drank more or less, and there was not much left in the bottle.

Zhao Laosi drank for the first time. Although he only drank a small cup, he blushed and looked happy to everyone. Xiaolan specially prepared dry food for General Dabai, soybean flour, corn flour and goose made from Chinese cabbage.

After eating, General Dabai started to enjoy it in the house. After finishing the meal, he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

"This stupid goose of yours is almost becoming a sperm. It stays up in the middle of the night and has to have a meal. You can really spoil it!" Kang Jing drank the wine, her face was like a peach blossom, and she said to Xiaolan with a smile.

"He is not a stupid goose, he is General Dabai!" Zhao Laosi didn't like hearing it anymore.

"Okay, okay, Dabai is a general, and you are a general too!" Kang Jing didn't want to offend the fourth child, nor did she want to offend this goose.

After dinner, a few people, except Queen Mother Du, went out to watch the fun. Lantern poles were erected in front of many houses. The fiery red lanterns were festive, dotting the snowy silver world with eye-catching red colors, and they were far away.

can see.

Children put a candle in a can and tied it with a rope to become a portable lantern. They ran wildly in groups, shouting: "It's safe and sound! It's safe and sound!..."

Regardless of whether it is north or south, whether rich or poor, every household is immersed in the festivities and happiness of the festival. This remote mountain village in northern Liaoning is no exception. People who meet each other wish each other new year and say auspicious words, and all the unhappiness and festivals disappear in the night.

inside.

Seeing Da Junzi and Miao Na talking and laughing, Xiao Lan sighed. She thought of Tiger Lao Qi and wondered if he could eat dumplings and feel the New Year atmosphere.

Hu Laoqi also ate dumplings, and each of them got a plate. Although one plate of dumplings was not enough to eat, in a special period and in a special place, this plate of dumplings was the flavor of the New Year, so it tasted particularly delicious.

In the entire Xiaolizitun, which family has the most boring time during the Chinese New Year? It must be the Miao family.

Miao Da was depressed, and the anger in his heart could not be vented, so even though it was the New Year, he did not smile, and his old face was very long, which made several people in the family frightened and did not dare to say anything, for fear that Miao Da would get angry.

to yourself.

Before cooking the dumplings, Miao Da's wife was worried about Xiao Chengzi and carefully tested Miao Da and said, "Dad, do you think it's Chinese New Year today to let Xiao Chengzi come back for a meal of dumplings and then let him go after eating?"

Miao Da glared with one eye and said sternly: "You want me to live a few more days and stop raising him for me! I don't have this son!..."

"Okay, okay, if you don't scream, don't scream, let's eat!" Miao Da's wife quickly interrupted Miao Da and greeted Xiao Tao's family of three to eat.

After the first day of junior high school, the village yangko troupe was going to perform elsewhere. Xiao Chengzi asked Xiaolan for advice and brought Zhao Laosi with him. Miao Na and Da Junzi were members of the yangko troupe, and they also left with the yangko troupe.

, Xiaolan's house suddenly became quieter, and she calmed down and began to learn silver needle skills from Queen Mother Du.

Che Dajun's family of three spent the Chinese New Year very simply. Because Xiaohong owed a lot of money to his aunt's family for medical treatment, and Xiaohong was going to Beijing to go to university after the Chinese New Year, so some money had to be prepared for him, so...

I only saved on boards when I could, and I didn’t buy many new year’s goods during the Chinese New Year.

Xiao Hong's illness seems to be no longer serious, but she has become colder than before. She rarely talks and doesn't like to go out. She doesn't come out when people come to the house. She is immersed in her own world every day.

Che Dajun and his wife felt that as long as Xiaohong went to college, entered Beijing, and broadened her horizons, her personality would slowly change, so they didn't interfere too much.

Time passed quickly, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye. The Yangko team came back, and Zhao Laosi, who had been away for more than ten days, also came back. He used the money shared by the Yangko team to buy a bottle of cream for Xiaolan and returned it to Xiaolan.

Queen Mother Du bought a box of snacks.

Xiaolan is very happy. What she is happy about is not that the fourth brother bought her a gift, and that his illness has basically recovered. He already knows that he cares about others and misses them. Although the fourth brother's language expression is still different from normal people, but

In other aspects, I can no longer see any difference from normal people.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Kang Jing to start school. Kang Jing was leaving Xiaolizitun to go to a normal school. Xiaolan really couldn't bear to leave Kang Jing. Kang Jing was like her own sister, always thinking about her and standing up for her, but

After all, Kang Jing was going to school, which was a good thing. There was nothing she could do about it no matter how reluctant she was.

Kang Jing was also reluctant to let go of Xiaolan. When she was homeless and desperate, it was the kind-hearted Xiaolan who took her in and let her live in her home. When she and Xiaohong were preparing for the exam, Xiaolan was also the one cooking.

, bringing tea and water, so that she has no worries. It can be said that without Xiaolan, she would not be where she is today.

Xiao Lan and Xiao Chengzi sent Kang Jing to the station to wait for the bus together. Kang Jing and Xiao Lan held hands with each other and warned each other with red eyes. Xiao Chengzi also secretly wiped his tears twice.

When they were about to get in the car, Xiaolan took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Kang Jing's pocket without any explanation. Kang Jing took it out and opened it, and saw that it was three hundred yuan!

"Sister, where did you get so much money? Hurry up and put it away, don't lose it! I have enough money to go to school, you can support the family, and there are many places to use money. Be obedient and put it back quickly!" Kang Jing
Chapter completed!
