    The custom of the small town is that every New Year's Eve, that is, New Year's Eve, every family will have a reunion dinner with relatives, and the people in the town call it the New Year's Eve dinner.  Families in other places will try their best to go home for reunion at this time.

    Fang's father and mother's parents have already left, so the annual reunion dinner is also my own family.  After Fang Xiaolian got married, one was missing.

    In previous years, the four members of Li Chengting's family ate together at Mrs. Li's side for the New Year's Eve dinner.  This year, because Li Xiaohou "run away at midnight" a few days ago, Li Chengting was frightened. Thinking that the child must miss his father-in-law and mother-in-law, let's bring her here for the New Year's Eve dinner.

    Mrs. Li is a person who sympathizes with Dali very much, and is also grateful for the Fang family's dedication to her granddaughter. Although the older generation is very particular about family reunion at the New Year's Eve dinner, she still agrees with Li Chengting's approach and has prepared many New Year's gifts for her son to bring.  past.

    There were four more people in the Fang family's reunion dinner this year than last year. Fang's father, mother, and several children were very happy.  The small yard is very lively.

    The house of the Fang family has two rows, front and back, and the front row is two one-storey, which is used by Fang's father as a kitchen and dining room.  The back row is the width of three rooms, and because the depth is deep enough, Fang's father divides it into five rooms plus a hall.  There is no dense wall around it, and a few trees are planted at both ends, vaguely forming a courtyard.

    Fang's father dug a well in the yard enclosed in the middle, and poured the concrete floor in the yard.  On the edge of the well, a washing board and a washing trough were built with stone slabs.  Sewers were dug on both sides of the concrete floor.  Because the yard is open, the surrounding villagers often come to use their wells to wash clothes and vegetables.

    Mother Fang is easy-going and welcomes people from the village, and often provides props: buckets, brushes, washbasins, etc.

    Because of this, the Fang family has a good reputation in the village.

    Father Fang specially prepared some extra things this year.  After finishing the New Year's shopping in his kitchen, Fang's father put all kinds of snacks for the children this year into boxes respectively. In addition to fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, peanut sugar and sesame candies, this year also put a variety of snacks in each box.  Two small oranges and a few pieces of peeled and cut sugarcane.

    The so-called "boxes" are small cardboard boxes with lids attached to the bottom.  The dimensions are approximately 30cm x 20cm x 25cm in length, width and height.  A khaki cardboard box, thick cardboard, you can see the staples on the surface.  Fang Xiaomei said that it was a "welfare" for her factory, the carton factory, at the end of the new year. When the new year was approaching, the factory gave the workers the leftovers that had been cut before, and allowed them to use the equipment in the factory to bind them by themselves.  So Fang Xiaomei used ready-made materials to design this small box with a lid attached.  And every Spring Festival, Fang's father uses this "Fang Xiaomei Edition" carton to pack snacks for the children at home.

    The children are all holding a big box of snacks slowly, so they are proud!

    Fang Xiaohua was growing up, she was very hungry, she followed her father to watch, Fang father packed the first box, she immediately picked it up and ran to the yard: "Snacks are divided into zeros! Everyone  Go and get it!"

    The Fang family is also Fang Xiaohua's youngest, and the brothers and sisters above are all grown up. One is that they are not so passionate about snacks, and the other is that the younger ones should be chosen first, right?  So Fang Xiaomei led the two nieces in and said, "Come here, come here, let's get food before dawn and after dawn!"

    Fang's father was very speechless about Fang Xiaohua's impatience, but fortunately, the size of the things was big, and it was big for the Chinese New Year, so he made her happy and didn't bother with her anymore.  He took out the two fullest boxes and handed them to his granddaughter: "Dawn before dawn, can you hold them?"

    Xiao Hou immediately nodded vigorously and said in a childish voice: "Grandpa, we can hold it! If we couldn't hold it last year, we will definitely be able to do it this year!" While stretching out two short hands, he desperately surrounded the small cardboard box, thinking  hold it up.

    Seeing her immature look, Fang's father laughed loudly: "Forget it, forget it, you won't have anything to eat if you drop it! Let your aunt help you!"

    Fang Xiaomei smiled and folded the two cardboard boxes together, and hugged them all at once: "Come on, go out to eat with my aunt!"

    The two little girls followed out chirping like chickens.

    After the snacks were distributed, everyone started to work on the New Year's Eve dinner.

    The Fang family has no habit of not participating in work, and everyone consciously works together.

    The two sisters, Qianqian and Hou, were eating snacks in the yard and chatting with the adults working in the yard. In fact, they were people asking questions and answering them.

    Father Fang took out the couplets and the God of Wealth for his son-in-law and eldest son to paste together.  He also handed over the task of setting off firecrackers to his youngest son, who liked it very much.

    The women are busy washing and cutting vegetables and cooking.

    ? Fang Mu¡¯s Cooking Skills???That's right, people in the neighborhood occasionally ask her to help when they get married, and she is basically in charge of the dinner at home.  After washing the dishes, Mother Fang walked into the kitchen and started cooking.  First fry the minced garlic, then put the fungus, and finally put the white fungus in.  Suddenly, there was a sound of crackling and frying in the kitchen, and at the same time bursts of fragrance wafted out.  Fang's mother changed all kinds of meat to make various dishes.  Fang Xiaohua chose nice names for these cold dishes and hot dishes respectively: Hundred Flowers Blooming, Furong Floating on Water, Lotus Seed Chicken Soup, Fruit Salad

    Seeing that Fang's mother was almost busy, Fang's father came out to greet everyone to set up tables and serve dishes together.

    One dish after another was placed on the table, Fang's father, Li Chengting and Fang Damao drank baijiu, while the others drank Sprite and Coke.

    There were too many people and originally wanted to divide the table into two, but Fang's mother said that it was crowded and lively.  So the whole family huddled together for a reunion dinner.

    Father Fang gave an order: Dinner is ready!

    Everyone raised their chopsticks and planned to pick up vegetables.

    "Wait a minute, wait a minute" Li Xiaohou shouted loudly: "Happy New Year, grandparents! Happy New Year, aunts and uncles! Happy New Year, Mom and Dad, and Happy New Year to us!"  The cup is raised high.

    The people at the table were so amused that they died of laughter.  Fang's father burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, okay, wait for grandpa and grandma to give you the new year's money!"

    Fang's father looked around at the people at the table: "Well, those of you who are working, don't forget to give Xiaoqian and Xiaohou lucky money after eating!"

    Several "elders" who were paid quickly smiled and nodded in agreement.

    Fang Xiaomei and Fang Xiaolian sat next to the two children to take care of them. While eating by themselves, they kept putting food into the two children's bowls.  Li Xiaohou picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and ate it voraciously, like, oh, the meat cooked by grandma is really delicious.  Dad raised his cup and said, "I'm here to wish you all good health and spirit in the new year." Then, everyone raised their cups one by one to express their blessings.  Li Xiaoqian and Li Xiaohou were dazzled by the sidelines, their small mouths were chattering and cheering non-stop, making everyone laugh.

    The smiles on the faces of Fang's father and Fang's mother never stopped.  The feeling of a carefree family reunion is really good!

    At this time, the sound of firecrackers from the streets and alleys, mixed with the sound of talking and laughing everywhere, one after another, full of ears, intertwined into a cheerful movement on New Year's Eve.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
