Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Today is New Year's Eve, and every household must try their best to cook more dishes.Some are not allowed to eat, and they have to be left over to eat on the first day of the new year tomorrow, which shows that this family is rich.For example, a must-have fish in the New Year's Eve dinner is not allowed to be eaten, which means there is more than enough every year.

There are many things to be busy, so Xu Jianbing and Wang Mei came back early in the morning.Before entering the house, the two of them learned from the neighbor downstairs that Ms. Xu Xinning and her brother bought a basket of meat yesterday. They said they had visitors, but they didn't see anyone.

If you live in a family building, don't think about having any secrets.Both Xu Jianbing and Wang Mei were muttering in their hearts, but they still had a smile on their faces: "It's nothing if a child wants to eat some meat after the Chinese New Year."

As soon as she entered the house, Xu Ningyu heard the voice coming up to her, hugged Xu Jianbing's leg and said affectionately: "Dad, I wanted to eat mutton yesterday, so I asked my sister to buy it. The mutton is delicious. We ate half of it and kept it for a while." It's half finished, wait for Dad to come back and eat."

Xu Jianbing looked at his son's chubby little face and looked up at how cute he looked, so he smiled and patted his head: "Okay, we will eat mutton at noon today and make a braised one. You bought it How many catties, is the money I left for you enough to spend?

"It's enough." Xu Ningyu nodded vigorously, "I'm very economical, and I haven't spent it all."

Xu Jianbing picked up his son and laughed loudly: "Yes, our Xiaoyu is the most frugal."

Wang Mei carried the sleeping Jinlong back to the bedroom, and when she came out, she deliberately asked: "Sister Wang downstairs said that you bought a basket of meat yesterday, what kind of guests came to the house?"

Wang Mei is small-minded and can't help but want to provoke things, but she never provokes them once.Xu Ningyu glanced at her indifferently: "Brother Li Lei invited me and my sister to eat mung bean dumpling vermicelli soup and sesame seed cakes, and I invited him to eat meat."

Although the prices of the two items are a little different, Xu Jianbing is not a stingy person, and nodded with satisfaction: "To make friends, you have to come and go." He also asked Xu Ningyu: "Li Lei's situation is different from ours. His parents are gone. You Don't let him spend money often, so that he won't have a hard time at home later."

"Okay." Xu Ningyu nodded obediently.

Li Lei is also very busy today, helping to wash the vegetables at home, otherwise his grandma would have to do these things, and he would not be at Xu's house until after ten o'clock.

He greeted Xu Jianbing politely, and shouted: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie." Then he ran to Xu Ningyu's bedroom in a gust of wind.

"Xiaoyu, I have to go to the farm to pick up eggs in the afternoon, and I'll ask you to set off the cannon after I come back and eat the dumplings."

"The farm doesn't rest during the New Year?" Xu Ningyu asked strangely, feeling that the farm was a bit inhumane.

Li Lei couldn't help but want to laugh: "The hen doesn't know Chinese New Year, and she lays eggs on New Year's Eve. If you don't pick it up, it will freeze to death." Xiaoyu is really stupid.

Xu Ningyu, who lacked common sense in life, became a little annoyed and glared at Li Lei: "Then be careful when you ride at night."

"Hey, I'm familiar with the roads, and I can ride back with my eyes closed." Li Lei used to brag again, and after talking for a while, he ran out again in a gust of wind.

Xu Jianbing was not often at home, so he looked at Li Lei's back curiously, smiled and said to Wang Mei, "This kid is really hot and hot, and he has a really good relationship with Xiaoyu."

"Yeah, the relationship is very good. He looks like he grew up in our house every day." Wang Mei sneered, and curled her lips in her heart, thinking: Your son has such big hands, just like his grandma's family, he is used to being a good person. This kid can eat and drink, so of course he is willing to run here every day.Knowing that Xu Jianbing didn't like to hear this, she didn't bother to say it.

The family members were chatting and busy with their work, Xu Xinning was basically a grown-up, and even Xu Ningyu was assigned to watch the golden dragon.

Xu Jinlong is seven or eight months old. He can sit and turn over. He has a lively personality. As long as he is awake, he can't rest for a moment.Wang Mei put him on the small bed, and Xu Ningyu watched him not to fall off.

I was busy until after twelve o'clock, and the whole table was full of dishes, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs, especially a large pot of braised lamb chops and stewed potatoes, with a lot of soy sauce, it looked delicious enough.Wang Mei's cooking skills are average, but there are chickens and meats, and they are not very tasty.

Xu Xinning took the sherbet and poured a glass for Wang Mei, herself and her younger brother. Xu Jianbing also poured some white wine. The family laughed and toasted, eating very satisfied.

Li Lei's family just had a quarrel right now.The reason was that at the dinner table, the second aunt suddenly asked where Li Lei took the money he earned from working on the farm. Li Lei said angrily, "Don't worry about it. I managed to earn some money, and I will keep it for my studies."

His cousin added fuel and vinegar to the side: "It must be used for that child!"

Li Lei immediately glared at his cousin fiercely: "Xiaoyu has made a lot of money writing articles and publishing them in newspapers, but I don't need my money. I almost got beaten up by my brother for asking the children in the lower grades." One sentence wiped out his cousin's old background, and his face flushed with anger.

Seeing that his grandparents were about to quarrel again, they hurriedly pulled Li Lei back, and persuaded his second aunt: "Forget it, let Leilei do some small work to earn some money after the new year, let him pocket it himself."

Although the quarrel stopped temporarily and the atmosphere at the dinner table could not be restored for a while, it did not affect Li Lei's big mouthful of food.If he gets angry and refuses to eat every time he quarrels, he won't even think about growing up.Today there are meat dishes, not only does he not get angry, but he also eats two more bowls.

After lunch at Xu Ningyu's house, they started kneading noodles and chopping dumpling stuffing again.Pork and cabbage stuffing, minced, dripping with sesame oil, the raw taste is very fragrant.

The materials are ready, and the whole family sits together to make dumplings.Making dumplings seems not difficult, anyone can do it, but the finished products are very different.Xu Xinning made the most beautiful dumplings with her dexterous hands. Each one was like little ingots, chubby and arranged in a row, very cute.

Xu Ningyu watched it for fun, and couldn't help but said that she would help make dumplings. After washing her hands, she took a rolled dumpling wrapper.Xu Jianbing didn't stop him, just smiled and waited for the joke.

Xu Ningyu picked up a lot of dumpling stuffing with his chopsticks, and pinched the sides of the dumplings together little by little.However, the dumplings that had been squeezed were not right, so he put them on the bamboo plaque with a puzzled face, and the dumplings immediately lay there with a flat stomach, making both Xu Jianbing and Xu Xining laugh out loud.

"Go and see the golden dragon." Xu Xinning smiled and drove her brother away to take care of the child.

Xu Ningyu wiped the flour off her hands resentfully, and continued to watch the children boredly.

Before the dumplings came out of the pot, the sound of "bang bang" firecrackers had already started to come from outside. Xu Jianbing also hurriedly put a small hanging firecracker he bought at the door, and asked Xu Ningyu, "Do you want some?"

Xu Ningyu stood in the room, tempted for a moment, then shook his head: "Dad, order it." He was a little worried that he would be blown up if he couldn't run fast, because the firecrackers his father bought had a short fuse.

Xu Jianbing smiled and struck a match, lit the fuse, and immediately entered the house and closed the door.

Everyone covered their ears together, and there was a loud "thunderbolt bang" by the wooden door.The firecrackers were short, burned quickly, and then quieted down in an instant.

Xu Jianbing went out and swept the debris of firecrackers all over the place into the gray truck, and took them back to the house.The custom here is that you can't throw garbage outside during the Chinese New Year, otherwise the family's money will flow outside.

"It's time to eat dumplings." Wang Mei shouted, and began to take out dumplings, one big bowl for each person.

Dumplings are not easy to digest. Xu Ningyu's bowl has fewer dumplings and more soup, together with the dumpling he made himself that has been boiled in the pot.He didn't dislike his craftsmanship, and thought the taste was just as good.

After eating, I wandered around in the corridors and dropped by. It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the family sat in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.Fruit snacks, small candies and melon seeds and peanuts were placed on the dinner table.Children have a lot of mouths during the Chinese New Year, and eating lively can have a festive atmosphere.

The Spring Festival Gala in 1990 still had the feeling of a party. The small studio was full of colorful ribbons, and the arrangement was a bit exaggerated.Xu Ningyu saw many familiar celebrities, all of whom were so young at the moment.He doesn't have much impression of the cross talk sketches, but several of the solo songs are quite familiar.

Xu Xinning especially liked the cheerful "Muye Love Song". The singer said in surprise, "It was sung by that Jade Rabbit!" The family didn't pay attention to the credits, and they all looked at it carefully, discussing whether it was "Journey to the West" The Jade Rabbit Spirit in "Records".Xu Ningyu doesn't know much about celebrities, but after a closer look, they seem to be quite similar.

When the chorus was sung for the second time, Xu Xinning was able to hum softly along with the female singer on TV, so Xu Ningyu applauded his sister: "Sister, you sing well."

Xu Xinning blushed slightly, and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, my sister's voice is nice." Xu Ningyu hugged his sister's arm and acted like a baby, Xu Xinning really had nothing to do with him.Xu Jianbing couldn't help smiling when he saw the siblings getting along with each other in a friendly way.

On the other side, Li Lei had already gone into the room to sleep.The Spring Festival Gala is boring, he doesn't like to watch singing and dancing, and he doesn't have much to say to his second uncle and aunt when he sits there. He has nothing to do after eating a small handful of melon seeds, so he might as well come back and lie down.I kept bowing my head and bending over to pick up eggs in the afternoon, and my neck was a little sore.But his bed was uncomfortable to sleep on. It was a simple folding bed, and it made a lot of noise when he turned over.

Wrapped in a quilt, he looked out of the window, thinking that he would get up early tomorrow morning to play with Xiaoyu.But Xiaoyu has to sleep late, and doesn't get up until after eight o'clock.Hey, if only Xiaoyu and him were in the same family, he would be able to see Xiaoyu every day when he opened his eyes.

Early the next morning, Xu Ningyu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.It was like thunder outside, and he couldn't block the annoying sound even though he was covered with a quilt.The relatives in the family are all in the village, and there is no need to go to New Year's greetings, and there is no need to get up early, but it is too noisy, and he can't sleep, so he has to get up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

The family had just finished eating when there was a knock on the wooden door of the house.

"Who is it?" Xu Jianbing said through the door, "The door is unlocked."

"Uncle and aunt, happy new year." As soon as the words were finished, Li Lei pushed the door open and came in, carrying a net bag of food in his hand, including biscuits, toffee and so on. "I bought something for Xiaoyu." He came in and gave Xu Jianbing To celebrate the New Year, put the things in your hand directly on the dining table in the living room.

Xu Jianbing was startled immediately, and repeatedly declined: "You, a child, come to play, and this uncle can't take anything you bring."

Li Lei said proudly: "Uncle, I earned this money myself. Xiaoyu has treated me to dinner several times, so it's nothing if I buy him something."

"How old are you, can you make money?" Xu Jianbing was even more surprised.

Li Lei felt that earning money was the most glorious thing, so he told him the truth: "It's picking eggs on the farm, it's not tiring."

Xu Jianbing nodded, and at the same time sighed in his heart: The children of the poor have already taken charge of their families.

Li Lei looked at Xu Ningyu, and asked Xu Jianbing with a smile: "Uncle, have you eaten yet? Xiaoyu, come with me to set off cannons!" Then he smiled brightly at Xu Ningyu.

"That's not safe, don't blow it up." Xu Jianbing was a little worried.Every year there are skin children who are bombed by firecrackers. Xiaoyu is so obedient, Xu Jianbing is afraid that he can't play these things well.

Li Lei hurriedly raised a small paper box in his hand: "I bought the throwing cannon for Xiaoyu, and I can't blow it up." The throwing cannon is weak and despised by children, and only children can play it.

Seeing Li Lei being so careful, Xu Jianbing was quite satisfied: "Okay, sorry for the trouble, you can take Xiaoyu downstairs to play for a while."

"Hey." Li Lei cheered, pulled Xu Ningyu and ran outside.

Xu Ningyu is also used to Li Lei's quick temper. Anyway, he can't run fast, so he can keep up by trotting.

When we arrived at the open space downstairs, there were already many children playing around, and the most popular ones were firecrackers.At this time, there are not many types of firecrackers that children can play with. A string of firecrackers can be disassembled into small cannons, and there are also the smallest smashing cannons. There are no fireworks of all kinds.

Only some of the children bought cannons and fired them. Most of the children were empty-handed, but they also gathered around and cheered, shouting: "Bomb there, bomb there."

It turned out that a naughty child buried the small cannon in the sand, only the lead wire was exposed, took a lighted incense stick to it, and ran to the side quickly when it was lit. will be blown to dust.

Xu Ningyu looked straight and speechless, isn't this just asking for guilt?But the children found it very interesting and had a lot of fun.There are also those thrown into the ditch. It is a competition who can throw the firecrackers on the surface of the water when they are about to explode, so that they can splash water without extinguishing the firecrackers.

Xu Ningyu silently stayed away from them, so as not to splash dirty water on one end.

Li Lei opened the box containing the cannon and let Xu Ningyu take it and throw it on the ground.

Xu Ningyu hadn't played with this thing for a long time, so she picked one up and threw it on the ground with a little force, making a crisp sound of "pop".Although it felt silly, it felt refreshing to throw his hands out unexpectedly, so he threw two in a row.

Seeing that Li Lei was only watching her play cheerfully, Xu Ningyu signaled him to throw a few as well, and asked a little strangely: "You just bought a box of throwing cannons? Why didn't you buy some other small cannons?"

Li Lei waved his hand: "Go ahead and play. I don't know if you like to play or not, so I bought a box. If you buy too much, if you don't like it, it will be a waste. If you like to play, I will go to the store to buy it later."

Xu Ningyu gave him a deep look: "You can just play with this box, and you will hear a sound when you fall to the ground, wasting money."

"That's right." Li Lei couldn't agree more, he couldn't eat or drink anything, and he sold it for five cents a box.He felt that Xiaoyu really deserved to be his good friend, as he thought.

Li Lei thought that Xu Ningyu didn't like shooting cannons, so he took out two toffees from his pocket, peeled one and stuffed it into Xu Ningyu's mouth, and stuffed the other into his own. "I bought a few more, and the white rabbit is still delicious."

A scent of milk filled his mouth. Xu Ningyu puffed his cheeks and looked sideways at Li Lei. Because of the sugar in his mouth, his speech was a bit slurred: "Is there not much left from the three yuan you earned yesterday?"

Li Lei's body froze, and a smirk immediately appeared on his face, trying to hide his guilty conscience: "Hey, there are still twenty cents left."

Xu Ningyu said to him: "Don't send things to my house in the future, I don't lack food. You can save all the money, and I will give you one yuan for pocket money in the next week."

Li Lei scratched his head in distress: "Okay." He also wanted to treat Xiaoyu to eat tofu nao and deep-fried dough sticks, one yuan is not enough, at least two weeks must be saved.

Xu Ningyu took a bite of the toffee in satisfaction, and then heard a "crack", and his expression changed suddenly.

"Get fat first." Xu Ningyu covered her mouth, turned around and ran home.
