The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

There is a big gathering in the countryside, inside the Dafu Hotel.

Xu Dahai really knows "Zhi Zhuan of the Northern Song Dynasty" written by the Ming Dynasty writer Xiong Damu, because this book also has a name, "General of the Yang Family".

Mu Guiying was in command, Mrs. She, Yang Liulang, Yang Qilang...and so on.

"Okay, let's take a look."

"Wait, I'll go get it for you." Lao Wu walked lamely and excitedly went to find a book.

While waiting, Xu Dahai chatted with his boy Wu Wen to pass the time.

During the chat, Wu Wen suddenly pointed to the eggs in the basket and said with a smile:

"These eggs are 10 pounds tall. After they were weighed, I picked up three more eggs inside."

"Huh? Haha, you're not afraid of Lao Wu beating you up." Xu Dahai laughed instantly.

"That's not possible. My uncle is very kind to me." Wu Wen said with a smile.

After a while, Lao Wu brought the book, and Xu Dahai's family of three left.

The eggs and the basket were carried on Xu Dahai's back. He just had to return the basket the next time he came over.

Got home and had lunch.

Xu Dahai's family of three went to his mother's yard again, divided four kilograms of eggs and carried them to them in a basket.

"Oh, just eat it. It doesn't matter whether your mother or I eat it." Father Xu Houtian was holding a cigarette and sharpening his knife on a stone.

miso miso ~

The blade of the intruder's knife was sharpened so brightly that it could reveal the shadow of a person.

He was very happy that Xu Dahai's family of three came over. He quickly shouted to the back room: "My dear, come out quickly. Our fourth child and Xiuxiu are here with eggs."

"Why did you bring eggs here? There is no shortage of anything in this courtyard."

Mom quickly put on her cotton-padded jacket and came out, along with the third aunt who was visiting here and Shengli's mother.

My mother was also very happy. She kept saying that the eggs were too expensive and she was reluctant to buy them even after asking about the price. She originally planned to wait until the price of eggs dropped after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

She also wanted Wang Xiuxiu to take the eggs back and cook or steam them for Xiao Tingzi.

"There are still some in that courtyard. I bought a lot this time." Wang Xiuxiu said very shyly. She usually wouldn't come to this courtyard if nothing happened.

Shengli's mother smiled and said: "If the child is filial, just accept it. Oh! If my daughter-in-law can buy me eggs to eat, I will laugh even in my dreams."

"Don't say that. Your daughters-in-law are pretty good too. Didn't they make dumplings for you to eat some time ago?"

My mother hurriedly turned back. Neighbors were chatting that she would not say anything bad about other people's daughters-in-law.

Although my mother has never studied, she can feel that the gossip behind her back is not good.

"Hey~ Why don't you make dumplings for me to eat? You ask me to make dumplings for them. When you're done, you give me a bowl of dumplings and then send me away."

Shengli's mother curled her lips and sounded quite dissatisfied.

It is difficult for an upright official to stop household chores. After entering the back room, my mother took out some kola fruits, spherical hard candies, halva, hawthorn sticks, melon seeds, peanuts and the like for everyone to eat.

Xiao Tingzi, the second sister's child Xiaoxiang, and the seventh sister Xiaohua, the three little girls picked up various candies and ate them, the smiles on their little faces never broke.

Children love the Chinese New Year the most, because during the Chinese New Year they have new clothes to wear, delicious food and fun things to eat, and even the adults who usually chase them with sticks are much kinder.

A few people were chatting and eating snacks in the warm room, listening to bursts of firecrackers outside.

Time seems to have slowed down, not to mention enjoying it more.

Unconsciously, the topic turned to the fight that happened in today's episode.

Victory’s wife said:

"That Park Soo-sung, he was so reckless. He smashed all his eggs with a bang. You guys haven't seen that scene. It's so scary.

Lao Zhang's wife was lying on the ground crying. Listening to her cry, I couldn't help but feel so excited. "

"Why is she crying?" the second sister asked.

"Her eggs were smashed. Can she not be sad? Eggs are so expensive now, so she has lost a lot of money."

There was regret and pity in Shengli's mother's tone, but also a bit of schadenfreude.

The third aunt said: "I saw it too. It's hard to tell. The old man who sells eggs is quite naive. If you don't want to trick anyone, you have to trick Park Soo-sung. Is he a master who can be bullied?" "

Others echoed it.

But her mother glanced at Xu Dahai with some worry. She knew that Park Xiucheng and her son were classmates and had a good relationship. He came to collect the pigs and paid a high price before.

She thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Si, a man like Park Xiucheng has been in prison and is always prone to fights. Don't get too involved with him."

"Don't worry, Mom, I know what's going on."

After a while, the father, Xu Houtian, sharpened the knife and began to boil hot water, catch pigs and kill the New Year pigs.

"Will! Will!!!!"

Big Benzhu also had a premonition that the situation was not good, and screamed and struggled wildly, but Xu Dahai, his second uncle, his third uncle, Xu Hu and his father Xu Houtian surrounded him and quickly caught him.

The New Year pig that my third uncle’s family killed a week ago.

The second uncle's family killed the pig yesterday and has already eaten the pig meat.

While the pigs were being slaughtered, a shout suddenly came from outside the yard. The house was so lively and noisy that my mother thought she had heard it wrong. She looked outside in confusion and immediately ran out happily:

"Oh my God, our three children are back!"

"mom."

"Hey, come in quickly. It's too cold outside. Have you eaten? I'll give you something to eat." Mom, second sister, second aunt, third aunt and others quickly gathered around third brother Xu Dashu and entered the house. .

Xu Dashu wore a long gray cotton-padded jacket with several large patches on the hem and back.

Wearing a wide-brimmed dog-skin hat, he is tall and generous, and a lot of snow has fallen on his clothes.

"Don't bother, I've already eaten in the county."

Xu Dashu sat down on the stool and looked around the home where he had lived for more than 20 years. A complex feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar came over his heart.

College students in this era are very valuable. They are rare in number. Graduation packages are distributed directly as cadre status. Tuition for school is free for a month and dozens of yuan of living expenses are provided...

Mom, second aunt, and the others were so curious about third brother Xu Dashu that they kept asking all kinds of questions.

For example, what do you usually eat?Is it cold?Is school important?Do you still need to study at night?

Xu Dashu dealt with various problems casually and showed a lot of stability and maturity in his strict manner.

In this small shabby house where he had lived for more than 20 years, his heart suddenly became much quieter and he was completely relaxed. He seemed to be sitting quietly, enjoying himself without doing anything.

night.

The eldest brother Xu Dashan also came back with his wife Song Yu and three children. The whole family was completely reunited and had a lively meal together.
