Chapter 1516 [1515] Mahjong tiles
There is no work during the Chinese New Year. All the ingredients that should be made before the New Year are ready, and they can be processed a little during the New Year.

Ding Wei’s house looks crowded, but in fact, they go out to find people during the day, especially Dad, when he returns to his place, he must chat with friends. Mom and the old lady are wandering around, including brothers, so let’s go together Playing ball and shopping, my younger sister is looking for a little sister, but she is not very gregarious. She has few friends at school, and she is all focused on her own affairs. She doesn't have much time to socialize with her classmates, so there is no one at home. She felt quiet and comfortable.

But she didn't expect that Xiang Feng would show up at her door under such circumstances.

She looked up at the big boy who was much taller than her. Before she knew it, she had grown so much taller. The blackness was really black, but it didn't affect his overall appearance. He looked more and more masculine. He was wearing an army overcoat and a military cap, carrying a luggage bag in his hand, and there were still unmelted snowflakes on his shoulders.

"You're not welcome? Weiwei?" The hoarse voice seemed to be full of exhaustion, Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

"How come, come in, come in, I just didn't expect, is it snowing outside again? Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, what are you doing?"

"I had already gone home and had a quarrel with my mother. I couldn't find a suitable place to go for a while. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came here cheeky. I'm sorry, I didn't give you anything this time. Take it with you, I haven’t bought anything for the Chinese New Year, this time I’ll come here first to try my luck, thinking that if you’re not here, I’ll find a way to find your village.”

Ding Wei hurriedly pulled him into the house, found him a pair of slippers from her brothers and changed them for him, helped him take off his coat, took his luggage, arranged for him to sit on the chair in the living room, and gave him another pair of slippers. He poured a glass of warm water, looked at his hands that were red from the cold, and sat up abruptly.

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll make it for you right now, everything is ready-made in our house, you should rest for a while,"

Xiang Feng was obviously in a bad mood, and she also knew that the relationship between him and his mother had become tense because of him serving in the army, and since he ran out this New Year's Eve, it can be seen that he had suffered a lot of grievances, and she felt as if she was her own brother. Seeing him like this naturally made me feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are ready-made things at home, so I turned on the fire, steamed buns and steamed buns for him, fried cabbage vermicelli, tofu meatballs and stewed vegetables, served cold dishes left over from noon, and cooked him a bowl of hot and sour Soup, hot food was on the table within half an hour.

Since it's two or three o'clock in the afternoon, it's not lunch time, so it's simpler, but Xiang Feng is very satisfied with his meal.

"It's been a long time since I ate the food made by my sister. It's so delicious. I set off at 29, and it took me two or three days to arrive on the road. I've lived these three days. It's hard to say. Thanks to your willingness Take me in."

Ding Wei didn't have the nerve to ask him what happened, but seeing that his hair had grown long, his beard hadn't been shaved, and he looked pitiful at such a young age.

After a while, the brothers came back, and they were full of surprises as soon as they entered the door.

"It's really Xiangfeng, I thought those boys were lying to me! Hey, you kid, why don't you say anything when you come, so I can pick you up!"

The second brother gave Xiang Feng a fist when he came up, the elder brother was not as jumping as he was, but he also looked at Xiang Feng with surprise.

"Brother, you are here, eat, eat quickly, and talk later."

The third brother and the fourth brother also greeted Xiang Feng respectively, and Ding Wei took advantage of this time to hold the fourth brother back.

"Brother, you will carry my sister and I's bed to your room in a while. Your place is big, so take your bed to our room. By the way, go out and borrow a folding wire bed. You are so big that you can't sleep. Me and My younger sister is light, we both sleep on a folding bed, so hurry up and borrow it."

"It's big for Chinese New Year, where can I borrow it? I'll ask my dad to borrow it from the warehouse. There are camp beds in the logistics warehouse."

Ding Jianshu slid out the door, and the rest of the people sat around the living room after taking off their coats. No one asked him what he had experienced. They chatted with him while he was eating, and asked about things on the road. Ding Wei went into the kitchen again and cut apples and pears for him, as well as crispy persimmons.

Surrounded by the friendly Ding family, Xiang Feng felt his eyes a little wet. After a while, his parents and Grandma Zheng came back. Seeing so many people, Xiang Feng felt even more embarrassed, but his father comforted him.

"It's okay, don't worry, our house is enough to live in, no, I just borrowed a wire bed, I'll tidy it up for you in a while, you go to rest first, since you're here, stay at home with peace of mind, so many years of love There is no need to be polite, if you don't dislike it, you will treat this place as your own home in the future, and you don't have to be so polite with your uncle and aunt."

Grandma Zheng was also very happy to see so many grandchildren, especially Xiangfeng who paid her New Year's greetings very politely. Mom and Dad also joined in the fun and gave him money. In the end, the young man blushed and accepted the three-dollar lucky money.

In this day and age, very few people give out red envelopes, they just give money directly, it is so troublesome and trivial for my family to use it, and the red paper can't be bought with money.

Giving money to the children in the yard is five cents or ten cents, which means you will win, but my own children give more, one yuan is not a small amount, after all, they only earn more than 30 yuan a month. One dollar is equivalent to a day's wages.

There are many Ding family members, you say something to me, and after a while, Xiangfeng laughs loudly. Together, the brothers disassemble Ding Wei and Ding Xiang's beds, and then assemble them in the living room, and then fold the two beds together. The bed was carried to Ding Wei's room, and when the sisters were tidying it up, they went to tidy up the bed for Xiang Feng and rummaged through the bedding.

Because he has a large family, Ding Wei used old cotton to make quilts the size of folding beds, and made new quilts into single-person quilts 1.5 meters wide and [-] meters long. I built a lot of hanging cabinets for quilts, and brought all the useless things back to my hometown, so it doesn’t look messy at all despite the crowds, because there are no sundries.

Besides, their house is not too small, but it is a bit troublesome for many people to go to the toilet. I believe that without Ding Wei's explanation, their men will go to the public toilet.

Originally, he wanted to rest for a while after eating, but it turned out that there were too many people and it was difficult to lower his voice, so Xiang Feng refused, saying that sleeping at night was the same.

Since he didn't go to bed, the brothers hugged him and wandered around the factory together, and it wasn't surprising that Xiang Feng knew the address of their home. He had sent so many packages before, and he could find the location just by asking.

After they went out, Grandma Zheng went back to the house to rest. Ding Wei closed the door and prepared dinner with her mother in the kitchen. Because there were a lot of people, she planned to make dumplings for the staple food, and then fried a few dishes. There were exactly ten people in one table!

"What do you think of Xiang's family? Isn't it a soldier to kick him out for the New Year's Eve? As for, it's been so difficult for him after all these years. Even if he gets angry again, he will return in a year." Then once or twice, and everyone has been admitted to the military academy, and they are still angry, which is a bit too angry."

Zhao Qingqing took Ding Wei's words seriously, but still analyzed the problem from the perspective of an elder.

"It's not necessarily because he was angry when he went back. There must be something that intensified the conflict. There is no mother who does not miss her child. His brother's sacrifice may already be a shadow in his heart. As long as there is a fuse, he will It will intensify the conflict, so it’s hard to say anything about the mother. There is another reason, without the boss, and with the youngest, it’s a little embarrassing for him to be in the middle. His father is also a soldier?”

Ding Wei nodded, "Well, the officer is not young. He used to be the chief of staff of the S military region. No, I heard that he was transferred to a certain military region in Hebei Province last year as a division commander. He... Mom didn't go with the army because grandpa and grandma are old. , She is already familiar with the life in the Northeast, and she doesn't want to follow, we don't know the details, Brother Xiangfeng mentioned it when he was chatting with his brother, but didn't reveal much."

"Then it's easier to understand. Think about it. The man is away all year round. The eldest son died. The second son finally came back from the sea and was admitted to the military academy. The youngest son also took it to school. I thought it was something to look forward to, but the result is sure. What happened made this mother break down, and she said something hurtful, which stimulated Xiangfeng to come out. By the way, the names of their children are quite interesting. The eldest brother Xiangyang, the second brother Xiangfeng, and the little one What's your son's name?"

Ding Wei chuckled, "Xiang Wu, because his mother's surname happens to be Wu, which sounds like a homonym for Wu."

"how old are you?"

"He only asked for it after his elder brother sacrificed. He is only five or six years old and just started preschool. According to Xiang Feng, his mother has been in a very unstable mood since his elder brother left. If it weren't for this younger brother, he might have gone crazy." .” More specifically, there is sustenance in the heart, otherwise the psychological breakdown will lead to depression.

So from Xiangfeng's few words, she can more or less guess the mother's personality, most likely in a state of depression, emotional instability, unable to control herself, unable to be stimulated, why didn't she join the army, maybe it was because of Xiangfeng's father It's a matter of face, after all, people in this generation don't know that depression is a disease, they will only think that she has a madness.

Based on such an analysis, his younger brother's character really makes people sweat.

Xiang Feng said it was a quarrel, but it might actually be because he didn't want to affect his mother's current life.

To be honest, living in such a family is quite depressing.

When it was getting dark, the whole group went home. Ding Wei and sisters helped their mother, and the old lady and Ding Zhenlong assisted. The dinner for the first day of the new year was ready.

The staple food is dumplings, three kinds of fillings, such as sauerkraut meat, radish meat, and celery oil shuttle filling, and then four cold dishes and six hot dishes are prepared, because there are still more dry goods left, with spinach, radish, lotus root, and cabbage Potatoes, potatoes, and celery are also six hot dishes, and the cold dishes are skin jelly, croquettes, asparagus, and their local eggs.

Because the meat at home is filled into the dumpling stuffing, potatoes are fried with sliced ​​meat, spinach is served with eggs, radish is stewed with braised pork, lotus root is made of glutinous rice lotus root, celery and shredded pork are served together. Although it is not rich enough, there are still meatballs. , crispy meat, chicken nuggets and fish nuggets are used as buckle bowls, so they are finally integrated together to fill a large table, which can also be seen with care.

Probably because of Xiang Feng's participation, it is rare for Dad to take out the aged wine: "Come, come, this year's Chinese New Year, you all have a drink or two with me."

Mom couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so she just told him: "Drink less and pay attention to your body."

Xiang Feng looked at Ding Zhenlong in surprise, and then he noticed that there was a patch of thinning hair on him. Seeing that he was concerned, Ding Zhenlong smiled and said.

"It's nothing, I smashed my head a few years ago, and it's already healed."

"Then uncle, don't drink anymore, your health is important!"

Mom signaled them not to worry: "Just drink less, Xiang Feng rarely comes to my house to celebrate the New Year, you guys drink slowly."

"Did you hear that? It's a rare opportunity. Normally, your aunt doesn't allow it. Come, come, come, don't talk nonsense, let's touch one of them."

The wine glasses at home were all dusty, so I took this opportunity to take them out and clean them, and the six of them chattered beside them.

In this era of underdeveloped Internet, Chinese New Year is really very humane. Sitting together, there seems to be endless topics to talk about.

How is it like the future generations, the Spring Festival Gala is only watched by the elderly, and the young people have a mobile phone, and the games are more powerful than their parents.

After dinner, they also took out mahjong. Ding Wei was not interested in this, but they didn't know much about it, and the mahjong was bought because it was processed in the mulberry picking warehouse, and the outer box was smashed. After dealing with the [-] yuan, she thought that her family needed to have fun during the Chinese New Year, so she took it home.

But none of them knew how to play, so Ding Wei could only sit down and teach. Even her parents and the old lady were watching. She took them to play about ten games, and they almost knew how to play.

"Okay, you guys are playing, I'm not interested, but it's interesting to use it as money. You take out all your pocket money, and you are at the same level as a novice. Let's see who is more capable and wins more!"

Ding Xiang was eager to try, and Ding Wei couldn't help teasing her.

"You miser, don't lose all your pocket money,"

One sentence frightened Ding Xiang, "Then, then I'll take another look!"

Ding Zhenlong and his wife, as well as Grandma Zheng, also expressed their opinions after watching one set after another.

"This game is interesting!"

"Mom, it's very addictive. Some people lose all their money in order to win money. Our family just plays for fun. Some people regard this as their life. If they don't play for a day, their hands will itch. Therefore, people who are not self-disciplined are not recommended to learn this.”

Zhao Qingqing waved her hands as soon as she heard it: "I'm usually too busy to play this game, but this game is cleverly designed. I've seen it before, but I didn't know it was called mahjong. If you hadn't popularized mahjong tiles just now I don’t even know that it was invented by the famous Zheng He!”
