Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich
Chapter 22 New Year’s Eve Dinner
He Chunlan also took out the pig blood meatballs made last year and stir-fried a dish with chili peppers and dried tofu.
Pig blood meatballs are a special delicacy here, and almost every household can make them. It is made with tofu, pork and pig blood and is a rare delicacy.
There is a shortage of supplies now and there is not that much meat. The pork blood meatballs contain more tofu and not much meat. But He Chunlan's skills are superb, and the pig blood meatballs are still delicious.
Then there is a fish head with chopped pepper. The fish was caught in the brigade's reservoir.
There is a reservoir next to the brigade. Every year before the Chinese New Year, Gu Daquan organizes members to fish together. The fish caught are divided according to heads and centimeters.
We didn’t catch too much. If we caught too much, we wouldn’t have anything to catch every year. Even so, the Gu family still shared more than a dozen big fish.
As soon as the fish were divided, He Chunlan put them in the water tank at home to raise them. Except for two that I burned that day to satisfy my craving, I kept the rest for the Chinese New Year.
Then the remaining fish was made into pickled fish and spicy fish.
Of course, the New Year's Eve dinner must include both meat and vegetables. Now that the meat dishes are available, He Chunlan and her daughters-in-law cook a few more vegetarian dishes.
I fried a fried egg with leeks, a stir-fried green vegetable, and a spicy and sour shredded potato.
With dishes, of course there must be soup. Today's soup is soybean and pig's trotters soup. The soup is boiled into a milky white color and sprinkled with a little chopped green onion. It is simply delicious and delicious.
After the dishes were served one by one, Gu Daquan announced that dinner was ready. Everyone had been wanting to use their chopsticks for a long time. When Gu Daquan spoke, he immediately started to start with the dishes he had long been optimistic about.
No one paid attention to the usually popular eggs, and everyone's chopsticks were stretched towards egg dumplings and fried chicken.
After a meal and a bowl of soup, this is the happiest time of the year for everyone.
Gu Ning could only drink milk last year, so she had no chance of these delicacies. This year she was finally able to eat, and she wanted to eat everything she saw.
However, my mind and body are not unified, my belly is too small, I feel full after eating only a few mouthfuls, and in the end I can only sigh in despair.
But even if she could eat it, Gigi Lai would not give it to her. Because many of the dishes here are spicy, Gu Ning can't eat them at all.
She could only eat egg dumplings, fish with pickled vegetables, scrambled eggs with leeks, and soybean and pig's trotters soup.
The scrambled eggs with leeks were specially fried by He Chunlan to take care of Gu Ning and Gu Yong. Originally she wanted to make chili scrambled eggs.
Because most people in the family can eat spicy food and like to eat spicy food, only Gu Ning and Gu Yong can't eat spicy food because they are too young.
You can't let everyone cater to their tastes. Moreover, they are not very old and have little appetite, so they cannot eat much.
Television has not yet become popular, so everyone’s entertainment on New Year’s Eve is not watching the Spring Festival Gala. The adults played cards, chatted, and ate melon seeds and peanuts. Children usually go to the yard to set off firecrackers.
Just pass the time like this. You can't sleep during this period because you have to stay up late. Until today, the elders will give lucky money to their children.
This is one of the most anticipated New Year activities for children. After all, they usually have no pocket money at all and can only look forward to the lucky money received during the New Year.
With the new year's money, they can buy what they like. When the adults go to the commune, pester them to take them to buy them, or ask a close friend to help them do so.
Gu Ning received six red envelopes this year. Gu Xian and Li Zi each gave one, Gu Daquan gave one, and each of the three uncles gave another, totaling six in total.
But the other children only had five red envelopes because Gigi didn't give them to them, only Gu Xian gave them.
After collecting the New Year's money, everyone is going to bed. Although the adults still wanted to play cards and not sleep, kerosene was not cheap, so they also slept with everyone.
As soon as she returned to the room, Gu Ning couldn't wait to open the red envelope she received. The red envelopes given by the three uncles were all 10 cents, and the red envelope given by grandpa was 50 cents. As for mom and dad, each gave five yuan.
Gu Ning was pleasantly surprised. She already had some concept of money and knew that five yuan was a lot. Because the money my brothers and sisters have saved for a long time only has a few cents.
But one cent can already buy three of the cheapest popsicles, and one popsicle only costs three cents.
Even the most expensive adzuki bean popsicles only cost a dime, and you can buy fifty of them for five yuan.
Although Gu Ning usually has no shortage of food and clothing, and rarely needs to spend money, he is still very happy to have a sum of money that he can freely use.
For Gu Ning, what's important is not what the money can buy, but what's important is that it makes her feel like she's grown up.
Because in her eyes, adults are rich and can buy whatever they want.
This kind of freedom is the envy of all children. So children always want to be adults. Because they think that as adults, they can do whatever they want.
Instead of being like now, no matter what you do, you will be told by adults, "What do children know?" "You are still young, so listen to me." "You will know when you grow up." "You can do it when you grow up. Yes." It was perfunctory.
Gu Xian and Gigi Lai both came back from childhood, so they couldn't tell what she was thinking.
It was because they had been children and knew what children wanted that they did what they wanted and gave Gu Ning so much New Year's money.
Of course, this is also because Gigi Gigi believes that children should establish their money concepts from an early age so that they know how to manage their money reasonably. Only when they grow up can they have a correct concept of money and know how to manage money.
And why do so many children get cheated out of a piece of candy by human traffickers? It’s because they have a great desire for candy.
Children do not have the self-control that adults do. They have not experienced it and cannot understand the seriousness of the matter.
Even if you tell him many times, he will still be tempted by sugar and easily deceived. If he never lacks sugar, you will remind him all the time. If the temptation is not strong enough and you are on guard, you will naturally not be easily deceived.
Moreover, 10 yuan is not a lot for Gu Xian and Gigi Gigi. They only have one child, Gu Ning, and there is no need to share resources with other children. Gu Ning will naturally get more.
There was also a system that was always supervising and admonishing Gu Ning, which made them feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, Gigi Lai couldn't help but sigh. Children always want to grow up quickly, but adults want to go back to their childhood.
Life is always like this, every stage has what it desires, every stage has desires, and every stage has regrets.
Whatever you gain, you must lose something. If you gain something, you must lose something. Therefore, no matter what you choose in life, you will have regrets.
Because people always fantasize about unknown possibilities. After all, everything in life cannot go as planned.
In the final analysis, it is because of endless desires. All I can say is contentment and happiness, and everything must be moved forward.
Gigi Gigi suddenly looked away, everything was destined. It's very good now. At least her relatives are alive and there is no separation between yin and yang.
Although my parents have to endure hardships, they still have me around to take care of them, which is already very good compared to other people who were sent down. Things are already like this, it’s better to look forward.
At least they were prepared and everything wasn't at its worst yet.
