? On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the fifth day of the new year, it was an ordinary day, but because it was attached to my birthday, it became no longer ordinary.
The first thing after breakfast is to tidy up my room.
The room was not considered dirty, but for me, who is a clean freak, I absolutely do not allow others to see the mess in my room.
Not to mention we still have obsessive-compulsive disorder! How can you let others visit a place that you can't even see yourself?
Sweeping the floor, making the quilt, making the bed, these are all at your fingertips.
After finishing all this, pour another basin of water to wipe clean the head of the bed and the writing desk next to it.
The half-person-height writing desk, due to quality reasons and the humid climate in the countryside, the bottom has been gnawed by termites and is incomplete.
After cleaning the bottom, cover the desk with a layer of clean newspaper, and then cover it with a piece of transparent glass. It is clean, tidy, and full of book fragrance!
"Old Cousin! Wake up! I'm here!" Outside the gate, the voice of the old cousin has already sounded, indicating that relatives will arrive one after another
As today's Chief Reception Officer, my task can be described as heavy.
Welcome the relatives into the yard, take the New Year gifts they brought, and pile them up in the small hall.
The entire small hall is used to pile up New Year's goods, which shows how many relatives we have!
? You may not believe it, just today, just to receive customers, can make me paralyzed!
The relatives above plus the relatives below, as well as my classmates, together have a total of five tables!
The meals for these five tables all need to be fried by my mother, the amount of work is huge!
Grandpa and Dad visited the entire yard ahead of time, and greeted the neighbors in advance. Today, they need to borrow some tables, chairs, benches, and mahjong dice.
After seven o'clock in the morning, the tables, chairs and benches were moved to the courtyard one after another, tablecloths were spread, mahjong was arranged, and only waiting for the guests to come to the door.
Gummies, peanuts and melon seeds are served on a fruit plate and placed on a corner of the table for everyone to eat and drink.
Boil a few pots of boiling water and put them on the side of the street together with tea paper cups.
From nine o'clock to ten o'clock, relatives arrived one after another. Since I received my old cousin, I have hardly stopped!
Picking up new year's goods, serving tea and pouring water, is really busy!
Liu Lei, Bai Lei, class monitor, secretary, younger brother, Yu Ping, and Lucy also came to the house with gifts, and it was even more lively now!
After greeting a few people to sit down, I started to receive new arrivals
Fortunately, our courtyard dam is big enough! Otherwise, the fifty or sixty people really have nowhere to play!
The sound of mahjong is non-stop; the sound of chatting and laughing is endless.
The children's hilarious pursuit is interspersed throughout the courtyard
? Always pay attention to whether the tea of ??the guests is dry, and also pay attention to whether there is not much water in the kettle.
Grandpa likes to watch poker games, but he didn't sit around the table today, instead he had a lively chat with his in-laws~
Grandma, Yao Dad, San Niang, Aunt, and Da Niang, the five of them were helping Mom in the kitchen, making preparations for lunch in full swing.
I walked around a few times and saw that there was nothing wrong with me, so I ran to play with my classmates.
"Ren Tao, are you done yet?" Bai Lei called out.
"I'm coming!"
A few people were discussing playing mahjong, the monitor and Yu Ping did not participate, and the rest of the people only had enough for one table. See me and ask me to help arrange the seats.
"Is there any table? It's rare for us to play mahjong." Regarding Bai Lei's proposal, I definitely agreed.
After searching for a while, I found a set of mahjong.
Although I really want to play a few laps with my classmates, but there are really too many things, and in the end they fight five, bloody battle to the end!
Speaking of mahjong, the way we play it here may be different from most places, including the way it is played in Chengdu.
Three-color mahjong eliminates one color, leaving only two.
Any cards of two suits are fine, but this is not particular.
And the gameplay is also determined according to the number of people.
When there are three to four people, each person gets ten cards.
For five to six people, each person only needs to take seven cards.
And seven people are even more exaggerated, each with four cards.
Once, my mother and the others played nine families, each with a card, and that was a thrill.
The more people there are, the fewer cards there are, and the level of excitement rises linearly throughout.
And brand?It was also gradually diluted and weakened. When it reached four cards, it was almost purely based on luck.
If you are lucky, you will play fast. Of course, you will win a lot. There are many people, but it is also lively. That kind of passionate scene is not common.
After arranging a few people to sit down, I stood by and watched for a while. Seeing that a few people were having a great time, I felt relieved to help my mother.
Shuttle among the crowd, observe the situation of each table from time to time, and add some water for everyone.
Occasionally chat a few words with relatives around you, and talk to each other about the good things this year.
Or answer the elders' understanding of the recent situation, in short, we performed well today!
It's close to twelve o'clock, and the lunch is almost ready, and then it starts to be crazy busy.
"Ren Tao, bring me some plates!"
"Ren Tao, let's see if this dish tastes good?"
"Ren Tao, come and serve this dish"
Various instructions came from the kitchen, and I, who was originally calm, suddenly became flustered. In order to match my mother's speed, I even tied my apron.
Passing the plate again, tasting the taste again, in short, I did my best to shuttle through the kitchen quickly.
Although I'm not good at cooking and I can't get on the table, but I can eat!
Therefore, after my mother stir-fries or mixes the dishes, she always asks me to taste a small bite, and I will also make some suggestions appropriately.
Especially cold chicken and the like, let's not talk about how good it is, how good it is, at least the ratio of sugar and vinegar, the spiciness of red oil, these basic judgments are still there.
Don't look at my little opinion, but it works! Mom needs to keep frying several tables of dishes, and when she keeps tasting the taste, it is inevitable that there will be deviations.
The meal is ready, the mahjong players started to pack up the mahjong, opened the table, ready to have lunch!
Six tables! A rare event!
There are two tables for relatives above, two tables for relatives below, a little more than one table for family members, plus half a table of my classmates, there are six tables full!
Push the cups and change the cups, eat vegetables and drink, on this day of the fifth day, push the enthusiasm for the beginning of the new year to a new height!
?After eating, the dishes have not been cleaned up, so a table is vacated in advance, and a birthday cake is placed
Classmates, brothers and sisters, all gathered around and sang birthday songs together.
Every year my birthday is spent in this lively atmosphere, very happy and happy.
Of course, the moment the candle is blown out, that's when the battle begins!
Bai Lei grabbed a handful of cream and wiped it on my face, while the old cousin threw a handful of cream into my left ear, which made me miserable!
Depend on! This revenge is not a gentleman!
So, the whole yard was filled with figures of our group, with cream flying all over the sky, laughing and laughing ~ (remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
