Chapter 727: Have a Reunion Year
The son and daughter-in-law are all back for the New Year, and the happiest couple is Xu Chenghou.
Fortunately, there is nothing in the family, and the chicken, duck, fish and meat are prepared very well.
So, on the 29th day, Zhou Guilan led her daughters-in-law to cook all kinds of delicious food.
Zhou Guilan had already steamed the big steamed buns, so she only needed to steam two more pots of date steamed buns.
A few days ago, Su Anying was selling goods in Yangcheng, and Zhou Guilan didn't know when her daughter-in-law would come back.
I was afraid that I would not have time to prepare anything until the beginning of the year, so I started steaming buns in advance.
I steamed several pots, but they were frozen in a large jar outside.
There are also meat, the pigs I killed yesterday, were divided by Xu Shiyan’s unit, sent by relatives and friends, and all kinds of meat at home.
So they all turned out, and threw all the pork elbows, pig's trotters, and large pieces of pork belly. They were thrown into the pot.
What should be fried there is also prepared in advance.
On the morning of the 30th day, Xu Shian brought his wife and son back with a lot of vegetables, and the house became even more lively.
Now, Xu Shiyan and the others don’t need to do this pair of work. Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao led their younger brothers to do it.
Some of the boys, some were holding waffles and wiping them on the gate posts with brooms, some were pasting couplets, and some were looking legitimate from a distance.
"Brother, you're going up two centimeters, yes, yes, that's it, okay."
Xu Haiyuan was the one who stood in a distance and looked unjust. Under his command, the brother pasted the couplets in a few weeks, then pasted them on the door god, hang the money, and went out to see the happy moments.
Afterwards, the children also posted pairs on the doors, warehouses, chicken coops, and other places.
Then, there is the word "Fu" on the window, on the door, and on the water tank. Anyway, you can stick it wherever you catch it.
After posting here, the Xu Shiyan family was also posted, and the children then set off firecrackers while walking and came back happily.
Xu Shixian led his younger brothers to erect lantern poles in the yard and crackle firewood.
Usually, Xu Chenghou made a lot of firewood at home. For the sake of the New Year, he prepared a lot of it in advance.
But it has meaning to hold the firewood during the Chinese New Year.
Besides, Xu Shixian and the others have not come back for several years to do anything for their homes. This year, my brothers have discussed it and give them more fireworks for their parents. Usually, my father can save some effort.
When these people were in big houses, they would go up the mountain to put trees and chop wood in winter, so this little work would naturally not be difficult for them.
The brothers swung their axes and cracked the firewood for a morning, filling the firewood shed with firewood.
In the kitchen, Su Anying took Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu to fry, cook and fry all kinds of work. Zhou Guilan wanted to come and take a look, but was driven away directly.
There was only a reunion dinner, and there were five of them in their wives and children to help. How could they use their mother-in-law to do it?
At 2 pm, the reunion dinner was served.
This family of people had more than twenty people, and the kang table was small and could not sit open, so they took Xu Shiyan's kang table and put the two tables together.
Chu Xuanhuai and Xu Chenghou led the children to eat on the kang. Xu Shixian and his five brothers led their wives to the table on the ground.
This reunion dinner is much more hearty than the pig-killing vegetables that day.
Not to mention chicken, duck, fish and meat, it is normal to have these during the Chinese New Year.
The key is that there are several kinds of vegetables on the table, which are all rare things.
There were more than a dozen dishes, and the dishes on the back could only be stacked on other plates. The table was full of greed.
As usual, you must take a family photo during the New Year.
So everyone came into the house, standing and squatting, and all arranged.
Then Xu Shiyan timed the camera, and the flash light lit up and clicked, just keeping the smile on everyone's face.
Taking a complete family photo, everyone sat down, and Xu Shiyan took several photos with his camera.
Especially at the table on the kang, Xu Shiyan took a few more photos for his parents and children.
The children's faces were filled with happy smiles. The New Year is the happiest moment for children.
"San, come and have a meal quickly, don't fiddle with your camera."
When Xue Xiulin saw Xu Shiyan being patronized to take pictures of the children, she quickly called him.
"Just like your elder brother, you'll never finish catching the camera."
Xu Shixian also bought a camera last year. Hey, it’s rare.
When I have nothing to do Sunday, I go to Beishan or Xijiang, and take pictures of it even if I catch a flower or a cloud even if I catch a cloud.
Xue Xiulin said, this is like a demon.
Xu Shiyan glanced at Xu Shixian, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled. Then Xu Shiyan put the camera in the cabinet and came over to sit down for dinner.
It is rare for the Xu family to have a family together for the New Year. The old couple was obviously very happy. Xu Chenghou still had to take a few sips.
There are some wines at home, and all kinds of good wines are given to Xu Shiyan by friends. Xu Shiyan doesn’t drink them normally and put them all up.
It's the Chinese New Year, I don't care about those, I found a few bottles of Maotai and poured a cup for Chu Xuanhuai and Xu Chenghou.
"Dad, Master, you don't want to drink it. You're too late to drink less when you're old.
It is said that this wine was used for state banquets? Anyway, people say it is good, what kind of aging is it? I don’t understand, let’s try it.”
This was specially signed by Zheng Yuyang for Xu Shiyantao a while ago, and there were only two boxes in total.
Xu Shiyan knew the value of this thing, so he couldn't bear to move it, so he let it go.
If it weren't for the Chinese New Year today and the whole family was there, he wouldn't have been willing to take it out and drink it.
Chu Xuanhuai picked up the wine glass, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, nodding.
"Yeah, it's a good thing."
The people in this room counted Mr. Chu the most knowledgeable one.
I have never seen anything in my life, and Moutai is not a rare thing in others. So when the old man smelled it, he knew how the wine was like.
Xu Shiyan laughed as soon as he heard this, "It must be my master, who has knowledge. He gave it to me, but I don't know anything."
Anyway, I just put it there and I can't bear to drink it."
"Brother, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, let's make some money too.
That, for the New Year, we don’t just drink too much, just drink it slowly, let’s taste what the wine tastes.”
Xu Shiyan smiled and poured all the money on his brothers.
What should I say? When this wine was cheap, everyone was poor, and no one could bear to spend seven or eight yuan to buy a bottle of wine to drink.
Now that I have money, this wine is expensive, and it seems that it is not easy to buy.
It’s absolutely amazing to be able to buy it after so many years. I guess few people are willing to drink it and keep it for collection.
It was the first time Xu Shiyan drank Moutai in two lifetimes.
In the era when he was reborn, this thing was almost praised to the sky. If you want to buy it, it is not something you can buy with money.
Even if you buy it for a lot of money, it may not be true.
Zheng Yuyang said that he knew someone in Qian Province and asked someone to make this wine specially for Xu Shiyan, so that Xu Shiyan could keep it for the New Year to entertain guests.
He also said that if Xu Shiyan was drinking well, he would wait to get a few boxes for Xu Shiyan when he had the chance.
How could Xu Shiyan be so troublesome? After calling Zheng Yuyang to thank him, he politely expressed his intentions that he did not want to cause trouble to others.
