"Hey, isn't this Xiaomo? You came back for the Chinese New Year? You said you didn't tell your aunt when you came back. Go to my aunt's house to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year." An aunt in Xiaomo's village who was about forty years old enthusiastically Patting Xiao Mo's hand, he continued, "Poor baby~"

"Thank you auntie, I don't need it, I still have friends." Xiao Mo smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh, this guy is also very handsome." The aunt glanced at Taoze and praised with a smile.She took out two apples from the plastic bag in her hand, wiped them with her sleeves, and insisted on stuffing them to Xiao Mo, "Don't be polite to me, eat them."

"Ah, no need, no need. We have some to buy." Wang Xiaomo hastily raised the bag in his hand, including apples, bananas, oranges, and longan. There are a lot of varieties.

"That's good, that's good. You said that your parents are really serious. They didn't wait for you to find a good wife before leaving, so that no one will help you now... Sigh... It's Chinese New Year, let's not talk about this. You It's good in Qindao?" The aunt was quite sorry and concerned.

"Ah, it's good, it's good." Wang Xiaomo said, "I found a job. Although the salary is not high, the benefits are good, including food and housing."

"That's fine...that's fine..."

After a few more pleasantries, the aunt reluctantly left.Wang Xiaomo heaved a sigh of relief, the street was full of fellow villagers, and he met three acquaintances after a while, this bag of oranges was given to him by the stall owner who had a good time playing in the past.

"Taoze, hold back. I've already had my third bowl of porridge, don't be ashamed..." Wang Xiaomo urged Taoze, who was eating, to leave the market and go home.

This porridge is a unique breakfast in Xiaomo's house. It is made of soy milk and rice into a mushy porridge. When drinking, sprinkle a layer of pickled salty soybeans on the surface and eat it with fried dough sticks. It tastes very good.

Taoze ate the last mouthful of fried dough sticks, wiped the oil stains slowly with a paper towel, and replied unwillingly: "Maybe people will be full."

"Pig." Xi Nang scorned unceremoniously.

"Hehe, Shi Nang, aren't you Wang Xiaomo's younger brother? I don't think anyone in the village knows you? What kind of younger brother is this?" Tao Ze was in a good mood, but it didn't prevent him from being annoying every day.

Confused on both faces.

"Cough cough cough..." Wang Xiaomo coughed, "ah, it's my younger brother. This is the younger brother from my uncle's house. Because the second uncle was imprisoned and the second aunt ran away, this child grew up eating a lot of food. , before you have to go to school, let me take care of it for a year."

I'm sorry, my second uncle and second aunt who don't exist.Wang Xiaomo sighed.

Full of loopholes.Unable to bear to see Wang Xiaomo scratching his ears and cheeks, his eyes rolling wildly, looking flustered, Tao Ze temporarily let go of the tie bag: "Oh, that's it."

The three of them ate and drank enough, bought food and daily necessities, filled the entire electric car with big and small pockets, and walked back home slowly.

When I got home, I slumped on the sofa.Wash the apples, knock the melon seeds, and watch TV in comfort.Ah, there is no Internet at home, so everyone can only watch TV series.

"Bai Xuan, what exactly do you want? You know the situation of the Bai family, but you choose not to save it? The Bai family is a family of exorcism that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is a sin to destroy it in your hands!" Bai Yunning asked sharply.

"The centipede is dead but not stiff. Apart from the main family and retainers, the Bai family has several side branches, some of which are well developed, such as the Suzhou Bai family. As long as you don't take money to build things randomly, how can it be destroyed?" The Bai family is in decline, and those are also the five great families, Bai Xuan doesn't think that the Bai family has reached the point of collapse.

"You want to officially leave the Bai family?" Bai Yunning threatened.

"I can't ask for it." Bai Xuan replied forcefully, what a big deal.He has always been out of place, in fact, there is not much difference between leaving and not leaving.

"Good! Good! Good! I will tell your father about your attitude." Bai Yunning threatened, "You are used to living an ordinary life, so don't blame us for being ruthless."

Bai Yunning walked away, leaving Bai Xuan with a cold back.

Bai Xuan frowned, not understanding where did the word 'ruthless' come from?It seems that this Spring Festival is destined to be unusual.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xiaomo made a paste with flour and pasted red couplets and couplets on them.The door couplet is a carp pattern on a red background, and the words on the five sheets together are "Auspicious and Great Ruyi", which has not changed for more than ten years.

When I was young, my dad would stand on an old-fashioned red chair and put up a poster, and Xiao Mo was in charge of directing, "Left... a little bit to the right... a little bit up... Oh, no, no, a little bit down."

At this time, my father would always curse: "Little bastard, you are playing with your father."

In the corner of the yard, a large iron pot will be set up with a diameter of more than one meter.At this time, my mother was burning firewood for a big pot. He heated a pot of firewood with sand until it was boiling hot, then poured in peanuts and stir-fried them with a big shovel.Fried peanuts are indispensable during the festival, and they can be eaten for the entire first month.

Of course, pressed rice sugar is also essential.Heat and melt the sugar cake, then add rice flakes, let cool slightly, and flatten to make a piece of sugar.It's a pity that my mother is too stupid. Every year, there is too much sugar, which makes it sticky, or there is too much rice flower, which is scattered and out of shape.After all, I bought it directly at the market. The children who pay New Year's greetings love to eat this.

Of course, the highlight of every year is of course making dumplings.Xiao Mo is good at rolling dough, which he learned from his father.Every New Year's Eve, a family of three would gather around the table and watch the Spring Festival Gala making dumplings. First, vegetarian dumplings with leeks and eggs, and then fresh meat dumplings. It took most of the night to make dumplings.On the day of the Spring Festival, you must be vegetarian. My mother told Xiaomo that she hopes to be "vegetarian" for a year.Meat dumplings can only be eaten in the second day of junior high school.

Every year, Xiao Mo's mother would make a candlestick with dough, put candles on it, and use the candlelight to sweep around Xiao Mo's eyes, saying: "Take a look to brighten the eyes, so that the eyes are clear and the heart is calm." Listen. Said that this is good for the child's eyes and ensures that the child's eyes are bright and his mind is bright.As long as Xiaomo can remember, this project has been going on until he entered junior high school at the age of [-] or [-] before canceling it.

Xiao Mo feels that she plays with her mobile phone and looks at the computer every day. Until now, her eyesight is 1.5, which is definitely thanks to her mother.

Although his parents were still away this year, with Taoze joining, it was much more lively than when it was just him and Xiang.

"Taoze, the pancakes are well battered—" the chubby man pinched the edges with his hands very skillfully, the dumplings were wrapped like small ingots, his hands kept moving, and his mouth was never idle.

The dumplings made by Taoze not only couldn't stand up, but they were also extraordinarily flat and long, so soft and ugly.Unwillingly, Taoze wrapped a row of more than a dozen, but when he looked back, he didn't pinch the sides tightly, and slit four.

These dumplings must all be soup fillings in the pot, Wang Xiaomo didn't want to waste the little dumpling fillings, so he asked Xi Nang to teach Taoze.

How could Xiang's mouth spit out any good words? After he took the initiative to demonstrate once, he began to point (chao) at (feng) Tao Ze: "You are a pig's trotter, how can you be so stupid?" Shaomai" "Oh, what a round bun, you've already turned the other way before you know how to raise one...it's amazing"...

Tao Ze patted the table: "I will take care of whoever I love, I quit."

"Oh~" Xi Nang curled his lips indifferently.Hmph, I'm so excited anyway, whether I like to do it or not.

Wang Xiaomo watched the joke for a long time, and quickly came out to smooth things over: "Taoze's bag is getting better and better, it looks good, it's great."

"Really?" Tao Ze picked up a dumpling wrapper, pinched the sag, with a proud face, "Of course, this is my first time making dumplings. It's not bad to make it like this."

"Yeah, it's all taught by my family!" Wang Xiaomo couldn't help but praise.

Tao Zeyu died.

"Bai Xuan~" The phone rang, Wang Xiaomo wiped the flour in his hand, picked up the phone and asked, "What's going on on New Year's Eve?"

"Have you had a good time listening to the sound?" Bai Xuan asked.

"Very good, I'm shaking red envelopes to collect five blessings." Wang Xiaomo was beaming.

"En, very good." Bai Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I was kicked out by my family, I bought a plane ticket to your place, and came to pick me up."

"Ah, it's too sudden. I'm still waiting to watch the cross talk show... I have to make two transfers to the city. Shall I ride an electric donkey to pick you up at night?" Wang Xiaomo subconsciously thought that Bai Xuan was joking.

"You don't need to go to the city, you can ride an e-donkey to the county seat. I've already arrived in the city, so I'll take a taxi to your county seat right away, and you will wait for me in the county seat..." Bai Xuan continued, "Do you have a conscience? When you leave the house, you still only have cross talk in your eyes!"

"Fuck! Is it true or not?! It's Chinese New Year, what does your father think?" Wang Xiaomo was too surprised and accidentally said what was in his heart, "Is this to find a husband thousands of miles away?"

Bai Xuan's depressed heart suddenly felt happy when he heard the last four words. He smiled and said, "Yes! Come and pick me up." Then he hung up the phone.

Excuse Me?what's the situation?Bai Xuan actually said "Yes"?New Year's Eve hell!

What are you waiting for?Pick up my wife!
