Chapter 354 The ancestors of the Yu family will fly to Jinan
Yusheng said: "Ten or eight pounds is not enough! But there are also benefits to eating chestnuts. This thing will fill your stomach. When guests come, eating a few chestnuts can save a lot of food!"
"Ha, ha, ha," Aunt Guo scolded Yusheng: "You bastard, are you just entertaining your aunt? Am I that stingy?
Since we are treating guests (kei), we don’t have to worry about those with big bellies (kei) coming to our door! "
Uncle Erhu laughed while packing the mutton. Chen Hong and Xiaofeng were also amused by the conversation between their mothers.
At two o'clock in the middle of the night on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the villagers who served the vegetables went home under the leadership of the village chief.
Aunt Guo led Aunt Erhu and three others to prepare midnight snacks for everyone, including a bowl of haggis soup for each person and two sourdough noodles.
After finishing the midnight snack, we received our wages, and each person also received four additional bundles of vegetables as a thank you gift from the hotel.
After ten hours of intense work, I earned two meals and two hundred and sixty yuan, plus fresh vegetables worth more than twenty yuan.
In particular, there are two bundles of young leeks. In addition to cabbage (Baicai), the rice filling on New Year's Eve also contains a kind of leek (Jiucai).
This is a good idea, not to mention that the village chief and his family are kind. The original salary of two hundred and fifty yuan was not good, but they were given an extra ten yuan, and it became two hundred and sixty.
When I went to rest at night, it was already 2:40 in the middle of the night.
Although everyone was very tired, they were very happy because all the vegetables were sold, 35,000 kilograms, for a total of more than 147,000.
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which was also the 30th of the New Year, everyone gathered in the hotel in the morning and shared pastries, fried goods, tofu, fried peanuts, fried chestnuts and mutton.
The food money was collected and divided together. Forty-seven thousand yuan was left in the public account, and the remaining one hundred thousand yuan was divided into ten thousand yuan among Xiaofeng, Yusheng, and Yuyong's families.
Chen Hong received 35,000 yuan, and the village chief and Uncle Erhu's family each received 17,500 yuan.
Everyone was happy when they got the money. They cleaned the kitchen, put up couplets and hung lanterns, locked the doors and went back to their homes.
Returning to his home, he killed fish, chopped stuffing and prepared offerings, and took Yu Yang to post Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns.
This morning, Wang Guoqing and his family came back from vacation. They rolled up their sleeves and started working as soon as they walked in. There was too much work at home.
The son's family came back, and the village chief led Yu Yang to the pier to put up red banners reading "Safe Boating" and "Have a safe journey" on the two boats.
In the afternoon, I took Yu Yang and his children and grandchildren to the ancestral grave to burn paper and then returned to the family hall.
After returning home, Yu Yang entered the kitchen gloomily, "Mom, our family doesn't have a family, and my grandpa doesn't go back to the village to celebrate the New Year, so won't my grandma be alone and have no place to celebrate the New Year?
I saw that everyone in the village has invited family members to pray, so why don’t our family have to pay tribute? "
Chen Hong said to him while preparing the offerings: "My family is offering sacrifices, but our family only provides offerings to the Heaven and Earth, the God of Wealth, and the Stove Lord.
Your grandma doesn't need to worry about you, your grandpa and your dad will definitely have a family in Jinan.
Your grandma and your ancestors of the Yu family have turned into ghosts. In the blink of an eye, they will be at your father's house in Jinan, faster than a plane.
Don't worry, your grandma won't be hungry and she has a place to stay, so we don't need to worry. "
Yu Yang thought for a moment and nodded: "That's good, as long as someone takes care of it.
Mom, why isn’t Uncle Zhou coming back? Didn’t he say he would come back for the New Year?
You won’t be able to come back! Their troops are so inhumane, don't they even let people go home during the New Year? "
Chen Hong was silent for a while, then forced a smile: "Your Uncle Zhou has been unable to be contacted, he must have gone on a mission.
Yu Yang, soldiers are all involuntarily. Don’t blame him for breaking his promise. He also wants to go home and celebrate the New Year with us!
Okay, let’s not talk about him anymore. Now that we have accepted his status as a soldier, we must get used to this situation in the future and celebrate the New Year how we should. "
Chen Hong took Yu Yang to set up the incense table in the yard, put the heaven and earth tablets written by someone, placed chicken, fish, tofu, bananas, apples and oranges, three kinds of fresh fruits, a plate of jujube dumplings, a plate of rice cakes, and a plate of fresh fruits. Plate of sweets.
Then he set up the incense burner, put incense and lit it, poured out good wine, and began to kowtow with his son and burn paper.
He was still mumbling: "Grandpa Tian is here to celebrate the New Year! Fine wine, delicious food, fresh fruits and snacks are served. Please God bless my family to be safe and sound, and everything goes well!"
Yu Yang also followed behind his mother and muttered silently: "May God bless my mother for smooth sailing and safety when she goes fishing at sea!"
After making offerings to the heaven and earth, the couple offered burning paper to the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God. Their family's ceremony to invite the gods home on New Year's Eve was completed.
There was no procedure like setting off firecrackers or setting off door sticks to invite the family to join the family, so they completed it very quickly.
This year, Chen Hong bought a box of earth-red firecrackers and 20 boxes of large fireworks at the village supermarket.
The two women made two large dumplings in the afternoon and cooked a sumptuous meal in the evening:
Stewed chicken with ginseng, steamed fish, braised pork, steamed pine leaf crab, braised prawns, stewed cod with tofu, grilled dried shrimps and canola, and cold pea shoots.
There is also a family portrait seafood soup. There were eight dishes and one soup in total, filling a big table.
When dinner started, it was already eight o'clock, which was exactly the time when the Spring Festival Gala started.
Looking at the family portrait and soup bowl, Chen Hong was a little distracted. Maybe she still wanted to wait for Zhou Yi to come home!
But at this point, everyone in the country should have entered their homes, but there was still no one coming in at the front door of her house.
Her cell phone was never left her body all day today, but she never received a reply.
Keeping herself busy and trying to divert her thoughts, she was a little exhausted both physically and mentally.
Her heart was more tired than her body. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of waiting as a soldier.
Chen Hong suppressed all the bitterness in her heart and happily watched TV and had New Year's Eve dinner with her son.
Yu Yang was very happy to see his mother happy. He didn't study today, so his mother said he would be given three days off.
It wasn't until the second grade of junior high school that he could play freely with Xiao Hao Wangxin. They had many unfinished plans!
After dinner, Chen Hong called her father to wish her a happy new year, to the families of Fang Yitong and Director Guan, and to the families of Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu.
I made a lot of New Year greeting calls and it was already ten o'clock. Chen Hong went to lock the door, sighed and went back to the house to watch the New Year with her son.
Yu Yang didn't take a nap at noon and stayed up until 11 o'clock. The child couldn't stand it any longer. He watched TV and chatted with his mother.
His eyelids opened and closed for a while. Chen Hong observed his confusion in a funny way, and he tightened his eyes in an interesting way.
Finally, my conscience found out, I hugged my son and let him go back to his room to sleep.
Chen Hong cleaned again and took out the trash. According to their customs, no matter how dirty Chu's house is, they cannot sweep the floor and throw away garbage.
The house must be cleaned today. Chen Hong was sitting alone in the living room watching TV, feeling that her home was extremely empty.
What kind of night are you keeping? Chen Hong persisted until twelve o'clock, cooked a pot of dumplings, served them as an offering, and set off firecrackers. I turned off the TV, didn't turn off the lights, and went upstairs to my room to sleep.
When Chen Hong fell asleep, Zhou Yi was chasing an enemy smuggling ship on a warship with gritted teeth.
“You’re so damn bullied, these bastards really know how to pick your days.
They don't celebrate the Chinese New Year, so we can't celebrate the Chinese New Year. It's so despicable to be a villain who harms others without benefiting oneself!
Don't let me catch them, I'll kill them if I catch them! "
