The Spring Festival couplets were pasted by He Yuzhu, and naturally he had to work on lunch. During the Spring Festival, dumplings are a must. No matter whether your family has money or not, whether you have meat or not, the sound of chopping boards will come from your home.
"Si Zhu, the stuffing you made this year is so good. There are a lot of noodles here too." The old lady looked at Sha Zhu making stuffing and He Xiaotian making noodles.
"Old lady, my uncle said, let's make more dumplings this year. Frozen a lot of them for you to eat for several meals. My uncle bought five kilograms of meat! I only put three kilograms in the filling!"
"It's really a waste of money! You fool, don't spend money like this in the future. Your money is not easy to come by, it is earned with your life, so you have to spend it carefully. When you have arranged your work, I will go to the neighborhood committee Find Xiaosun and ask him to help you find a wife! It’s time to add a new child to our family."
"I'm not in a hurry! You'd better tell Zhuzhu first."
"Aren't you in a hurry? You are already in your early thirties! Zhu Zhu is still young after all, isn't he? Let's find a wife for you first, and then a wife for Sha Zhu. This way the family will feel like a home."
"Okay, okay! I'll listen to your arrangements!"
While the room was chatting happily, Yi Zhonghai's voice came from outside. "Silly Zhu! Come here and help your aunt adjust the dumpling fillings! The dumpling fillings you made are still delicious! They are delicious!"
"Oh! I'll come right away!" He Yuzhu responded in the room.
He Yuzhu mixed the fillings for the dumplings at home before going out.
"Si Zhu, didn't we agree? We're going to have a reunion dinner at Jia's house. Didn't you tell your uncle?" Yi Zhonghai called Si Zhu out just to ask about this.
"Hi! I was so busy that I forgot about it. But, sir, this is the first year that my uncle goes home for the Spring Festival. It's really hard to go to other people's homes. Can we talk about it next year?" People said some time ago that He Xiaotian has become crazy. Silenced, He Yuzhu didn't care and agreed to Yi Zhonghai's proposal. Now that He Xiaotian is fine, it is natural that He Yuzhu will not be able to have a reunion dinner at Jia's house again.
"Silly Zhu, you have to be grateful as a person. Jia Dongxu was kind to you back then, so you should repay the kindness. Don't say that your uncle will ignore the Jia family when he comes back. You also know that the Jia family's life is difficult. Courtyard I am very optimistic about you." Yi Zhonghai said earnestly.
"Master! How can this be done? I can take care of the Jia family. But this is the first year my brother-in-law is celebrating the New Year at home, so it's really hard for him to go to other people's houses for reunion dinner." He Yuzhu immediately expressed his position.
Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction, and naturally wanted to help reconcile the stuffing when he came. He Yuzhu only went back after making peace with him.
"Lao Yi, we don't know the old lady's attitude now." The eldest mother also asked the old lady, but the old lady just pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"Let's put this aside for now. The old lady is a sensible person. You have taken care of her for so many years, and she shouldn't say anything about us. The most important thing now is Silly Zhu! As long as he doesn't change, it will be fine. As for that Silly fool, I've also asked about it. Soldiers like him who change jobs basically work in the political and legal department. As long as he doesn't work in our factory, Silly Zhu can't change." Yi Zhonghai is very confident. He didn't believe that He Xiaotian could change anything about Silly Zhu based on the morality and righteousness he had instilled in the people in the courtyard.
When Silhu returned home, He Xiaotian had already started rolling out the dumpling wrappers, and He Yuyu, the old lady was wrapping the dumplings. He Yuzhu also joined in rolling out dumpling wrappers.
"Brother-in-law, why does your watch look different from ours?" In fact, He Yuzhu was also jealous that his uncle bought a bicycle for his sister.
"Hehehehe, this is an American product I seized on the battlefield. Are you greedy? I won't bully you, I have watch tickets there. As long as you have money, we will buy them. Let me tell you, I also have bicycles there. Tickets, radio tickets, and sewing tickets. As long as you have money, my uncle will give it to you and let you buy it." He Xiaotian used these tickets to hook He Yuzhu and asked him to save money.
"real?"
"Steamed? And boiled! Do you have money? If you don't have money, it's useless to say anything!"
"That's right! Brother, are you rich?" He Yuyu also teased, and she understood what her uncle meant. "Brother, if you had the same thing, it would be easy to talk about your wife."
"Hehehe, I will save money this year! Uncle, we have made an agreement, so you don't regret it later."
"Hehehe, I have two tickets each."
"Ah!" Silly Zhu was surprised. Not many people had a ticket. He didn't expect his uncle to have so many tickets.
"This was prepared for me by my regimental commander, political commissar and my old chief." He Xiaotian explained.
The Chinese New Year is always particularly lively. However, the Jia family seemed a lot more deserted. It wasn't that there weren't enough people. Counting the children, there were five members of the Jia family. It’s just that the family has no preparations for the New Year, and there is no New Year atmosphere at all.
"Isn't it already agreed upon? Why haven't you come yet?" Ms. Jia Zhang was wandering around the house.
"Mom, I guess I won't be able to come. At first, I thought that Sha Zhu's uncle was a demented person and it was justifiable for him to come to our house to celebrate the New Year. Now that he is a good person, how could he agree to Sha Zhu's coming to our house to celebrate the New Year?" Qin Huai Ru is more understanding.
At this time Yi Zhonghai came.
"Master, you're here! Why hasn't Silly Zhu come yet?" Mrs. Jia Zhang laughed.
"Si Zhu won't be able to come this year. I asked him just now. He said that his brother-in-law went home for the Chinese New Year this year, so it's hard for him to come to your house for a reunion dinner. He also said that he has never forgotten your kindness to Dongxu. , it’s just his uncle’s first time back to celebrate the New Year. You have to understand. This is stuffing that I call Silly Zhuhe. It’s a pound of white flour and half a pound of meat. You can make it at home. Don’t treat your children badly. Guys. I'm leaving." Yi Zhonghai put down his things and left.
"Master, please walk slowly!" Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled from ear to ear. "You still know etiquette! Look at these, they are all good things! Qin Huairu, why don't you hurry up and make the noodles? Let's make dumplings too! By the way, half of the white noodles are mixed with some stick noodles, so we can Eat. Just give the white noodles to Banggeng!"
Qin Huairu was obedient and went to work.
"You silly Zhu! What did you promise to do when you can't do it? Really! If it hadn't been for the uncle who sent these, we wouldn't have been able to live well for years! I don't even think about how kind my Dongxu was to him in the past, what an ungrateful thing! ..." Mrs. Jia Zhang was still nagging there.
"Mom, why are you talking about this during the Chinese New Year? Didn't the uncle say that Si Zhu won't help our family? It's just that this year is the first time that his uncle comes back to celebrate the New Year. Will everything be the same next year? Don't nag. Come here and help me make dumplings. Banggeng is hungry."
