Chapter 36 Chinese New Year
Gu Qingxi originally planned to walk back, but as soon as he left school, he saw his brother coming to pick him up.
The situation at home is better now and is not so difficult. Although my brother is busy, he still tries his best to take time to take care of himself.
When Gu Jianguo saw his sister carrying a large bag, he quickly took it and placed it on the crossbar in front of the car. He held it carefully and let Gu Qingxi sit in the back seat.
After Gu Qingxi sat on it, Gu Jianguo rode on unsteadily.
While riding and talking, Gu Jianguo talked about things at home: "My mother said that the situation is good this year, so I bought couplets and firecrackers. My mother also went to the commune to cut four kilograms of meat."
Four kilograms of meat is quite a lot. In previous years, my family would only buy half a kilogram or at most one kilogram of meat, mince it and put it in the meat filling. At least it would be good luck to eat meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. This year, it is only four kilograms. , I¡¯m really willing to give it up.
"That's a lot of love. Where do you get the meat stamps?" Gu Qingxi asked with a smile. In a few years, all kinds of food stamps and meat stamps will disappear from the stage of history, but they are still there now. You have to vote for everything, otherwise they Why don't I dare to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books? I just worry about not having tickets.
"No votes." Gu Jianguo's low voice revealed a thief's happiness: "My mother was going to the commune. On the way, there was a family in the village who slaughtered a large group of pigs and sheep and were selling them there. No votes, as long as you have money! My mother hesitated After a while, he cruelly asked for three kilograms of pork and one kilogram of mutton, saying that the situation has been bad and the children were not allowed to eat meat during the Chinese New Year. This time we will have enough!"
Gu Qingxi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. When he smiled, he was actually a little sad.
She knew where her mother's words came from. Later, her mother became ill, and she bought her mother meat-filled dumplings. Her mother cried while eating them, saying that when you were children, we made vegetarian dumplings. Meat dumplings, you ate your own vegetarian dumplings, went to your uncle¡¯s parents¡¯ house to pay New Year greetings, and when you saw other people¡¯s meat dumplings, you were so greedy that you stared at your cousin¡¯s dumplings without moving your eyes away.
Her mother said that you are all sensible and did not say that you must eat minced meat, but her mother felt uncomfortable and cried secretly.
Her mother held her hand before leaving, feeling sorry for her.
Gu Qingxi's nose was sore and she almost shed tears. Fortunately, the wind was strong. She took advantage of the wind and wiped it quickly. Then she smiled: "Brother, the land will be divided after the new year, right?"
Gu Jianguo: "Yes, now the village has measured the land and divided it into several plots. Then we will have to draw lots to determine which plot will be which. I am thinking about it, if we can allocate it to our house then The land to the south is just fine, it¡¯s convenient to plant in this way.¡±
Gu Qingxi: "My parents are still strong, so you help us during the busy farming season. They usually do some odd chores, and you are responsible for knitting."
Gu Jianguo rode the bike vigorously: "No, that's what my mother said. By the way, a few days ago, our uncle met our father in the field and asked vaguely about our knitting. I thought, he is I¡¯m not just jealous of our business, but I also want to do it.¡±
Gu Qingxi: "What does our father mean?"
Gu Jianguo: "Our father must think that we are all brothers and can't save face. Our mother is very annoyed. She says that here we have to work hard to find a way, and there must be imitated quickly, saying that we ourselves have not made much money yet." Where¡¯s the money!¡±
Gu Qingxi listened and naturally agreed. This path was indeed worked out with great effort. It doesn't mean that you can't lead others to do it together, but at least you can make money first and have enough to eat. Then let's talk about others. How can you pull others along as soon as you start the journey? Went with others.
My father is indeed too kind, but fortunately my mother is there to stop him.
When he asked his sister-in-law what he meant, Gu Jianguo sighed and said: "Hey, what can we do? Your sister-in-law and my mother are wearing the same pair of pants now. There are two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, standing there talking together, you say something and I say something. I recounted all the things that my uncle¡¯s family had done in the past years, leaving my father speechless.¡±
Gu Qingxi laughed out loud as she listened. Her mother and her sister-in-law didn't deal with each other before, but now they are surprisingly consistent. This wonderful harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law makes people happy from the bottom of their hearts. They feel that this family is living a happy and prosperous life.
As he was talking, Gu Jianguo suddenly remembered and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, Qingxi, how did you do in the exam this time?"
Gu Qingxi could hear the caution in her brother's tone: "You did well in the exam!"
Gu Jianguo: "That's good."
What he didn't say was that Gu Xiuyun was a senior in high school and came back after taking the exam. When he came back, he mentioned it to others and said that Gu Qingxi didn't seem to do well in the exam, which made people a little worried.
Gu Qingxi felt her brother's concerns and said with a smile: "Don't mention it, the last grade testIt was over two taels, about one and a half kilograms. I bargained with them, but I didn¡¯t add much money. I also asked them to give me a sheep tail. They said it was fresh mutton and didn¡¯t need any seasoning. Just use this big iron. Let's simmer it in the pot. It's said to be a delicious soup. Just drink it. Come on, let's all have a taste. "
As he spoke, Chen Yunxia had already served soup for everyone.
Gu Jianguo knew that he had bought mutton, but he didn't expect that his mother would be so willing to stew it. Can he really eat meat like this?
He didn¡¯t dare to think about it, but when he smelled the fragrance, he couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva: ¡°This smells really good.¡±
At that moment, everyone had a bowl of mutton soup. Gu Qingxi looked over and saw that the mutton soup was indeed very clear. There was no seasoning added, not even green onions and coriander. He picked up the bowl, blew the white steam on it gently, and drank slowly. Take a bite.
Hot and delicious, it is the most authentic taste of mutton soup. Drinking it in your mouth with a "sizzling" sound, savoring the deliciousness rolling on the tip of your tongue, makes people forget the coldness of this twelfth lunar month.
At this time, her brother Gu Jianguo was so drunk that he shrunk his neck and smacked his lips. Her sister-in-law cursed in a low voice: "It's like he's never eaten meat. Look at you!"
Gu Jianguo felt aggrieved: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with not having eaten yet!¡±
Everyone laughed at once, and the laughter fell in this Baiqiao. Gu Baoyun, who had never liked to speak, also praised: "In this life, I haven't drank such a fresh sheep soup!"
Liao Jinyue smiled and said: "After drinking the soup, let's start eating meat. Come on, I'll serve it to you."
The meat is simmered until tender. The thick mutton slices cut into large pieces are fresh and tender, with a little bit of white fat. It is not greasy, but makes the taste more suitable.
Liao Jinyue placed a small plate of salt and vinegar, dipped the mutton in with chopsticks, and ate it. It melted in the mouth and made everyone feel satisfied.
"We've eaten meat. This meat is so delicious!"
¡°It turns out mutton is so fragrant!¡±
¡°Mom, let¡¯s eat this mutton next year!¡±
"Dad, try this piece, it's so tender."
The whole family was in full swing, eating meat, drinking soup, and eating rice cakes. The rice cakes were dipped in a little sugar and were soft, glutinous, and sweet. At this time, the stick noodles, which were obviously good things in the past, seemed to be gone. Not so rare anymore.
"Thanks to Yunxia's hard work this year, our family has made some money, so we can have a prosperous year, and we can also eat meat! Our daughter-in-law is very capable!" Liao Jinyue said, picking up a large piece of mutton with chopsticks and putting it on the table. into Chen Yunxia¡¯s bowl: ¡°Come on, Yunxia, ??eat another piece of mutton!¡±
Chen Yunxia saw it and said hurriedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? I made this thing up, but I know very well in my heart that Qingxi came up with this idea for me. Lend me books, I also help find sales. Why do people in the county take a fancy to us? Without Qingxi, we wouldn¡¯t dare to think or do it, let alone find educated people to take a fancy to us. thing!"
Although Chen Yunxia is from a rural area and has no education, she has a clear mind. They country people don¡¯t know anything and are helpless. That is to say, they know that following the trend of working hard, how can good things happen to them? Qingxi had not led him, otherwise they would not have been able to touch the door, let alone go to the county compound!
And hearing Chen Yunxia¡¯s words made Liao Jinyue feel comfortable.
She also feels that her daughter is capable of doing it, and she has contributed to this matter. She will be satisfied if her daughter-in-law does not forget her roots and remembers her daughter's contribution.
She is planning that if her son and daughter-in-law work hard, their family will be better off, and they can support their daughter in her education. In the future, her daughter will be successful and go to work in the city to eat at the public house. That would be great!
Normally, everyone in the village favors boys over girls, but Liao Jinyue loves her daughter from the bottom of her heart. She is indeed biased, but there is no problem. Her daughter is her heartthrob, so of course she has to think about her daughter.
Liao Jinyue smiled from ear to ear thinking about her daughter's future, and simply gave her daughter-in-law a piece of rice cake.
The north wind was blowing outside, and the family drank soup, meat and rice cakes, and discussed posting couplets later. They were full of joy.
When Gu Qingxi looked at this scene, he felt something special in his heart.
The four words "family reunion" are the most worldly blessing. It seems easy to say it casually, but in fact, the joys and sorrows in the world are not so easy. On this extremely cold winter night, I can enjoy a sip of mutton soup with my family in harmony. , discussing things for next year, which is actually a great blessing in the world.
She sipped the mutton soup and looked at her parents, brother and sister-in-law who were smiling happily. She was thinking about how to persuade her sister-in-law to go to the hospital for a checkup. The child's affairs had to be put on the agenda, otherwise it would be a matter of time. .
Just as I was thinking this, I heard footsteps coming from outside, and then, the door was pushed open with a clang.
Gu Qingxi looked over in surprise and saw her aunt, leading her little nephew named Goudan.
