Returning to Longjiang, Han Xiaosheng began a carefree life, which basically consisted of exercising and going to a health center.
Time flies, and it’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye, and New Year’s Eve is here.
In the morning, Han Xiaosheng opened his eyes and looked at the time. It was already 9 o'clock.
The room was extremely bright, and the windows were completely white. When I stood up and looked outside the window, it was already completely white.
In the sight, countless snowflakes are falling lightly and slowly, flying all over the sky, flying, hovering, flying, or falling straight down, like a goddess scattering flowers, or like goose feathers fluttering and catkins fluttering.
The tall buildings in the distance are wearing white hats, the big trees are wearing white robes, and the downstairs is already covered in white.
What a heavy snow, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!
By the time Han Xiaosheng finished breakfast and went out, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
When we got downstairs, our younger brother Han Qingshan and his family were building a snowman, and Han Xiaosheng immediately joined them.
After building a snowman, a few people had a snowball fight. Snowflakes were still flying in the air, spinning and dancing. The laughter, shouts and exclamations of several people echoed on the snow. Joy is in this snowy season. linger.
Tired of playing in the snow, a few people went to their parents' house.
The living room was already full of people.
There are two dining tables in the hall, one large and one small. They have been covered with white tablecloths and the tableware has been set.
The adults all sat at the big table, watching TV and chatting with their father Han Zijun.
The children sat in a circle around the small dining table, some playing with their mobile phones and some chatting.
My mother, Chen Lihua, was cooking in the kitchen, while my sister, Han Ying, and my cousin were helping with the cooking, while chatting with Chen Lihua about their family's shortcomings.
As soon as the 6-year-old nephew entered the room, he called out to the elders first, then happily ran to the small table, and soon started chatting with the children, talking excitedly about making snowmen and having snowball fights just now. A burst of cheerful laughter soon erupted around the small table.
The house is filled with the excitement, peace, happiness and joy of New Year's Eve.
Seeing all this, Han Xiaosheng felt extremely satisfied.
Seeing Han Ying chatting with his cousin, he sat over and said softly:
"Sister, I see that the relatives who came today are in good spirits. It seems that everyone has taken care of themselves."
Han Ying looked at the people in the room and said with a smile:
"Yes, except for those relatives who don't come back often during the New Year, our closest relatives are already here, and the health soup has been given to them. Look how good their skin is.
The reason why some people's figures have changed while others' figures remain the same is because dad doesn't want to make too much noise. You also know that we have many relatives in our family, including seven aunts and eight aunts. We all talk a lot and have different thoughts. , prone to problems.
Dad has been waiting for the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, everyone gathers for dinner. When everyone is here, he can give everyone some intensive physical recuperation. "
"Today's lunch soup has some black and white berries in it, which can help everyone regain their health, but not much. I'm probably worried that there won't be enough toilets by then."
Han Xiaosheng smiled and said:
"Very good. The Chinese New Year is indeed a time to focus on taking care of your body."
"However, I think the place here is a bit small. Last time my dad said he wanted to move to a bigger place, but there was no news.
If you change to a bigger place, it will be more relaxed for everyone to have dinner together, and you can put more of it when you want to put the puree in the future. "
The brother-in-law, who was sitting close, heard what he said and turned around and said:
“My parents are used to living in this community and don’t want to leave this community.
But I heard from my father that he has been inquiring about the situation in the community during this time, and he really found out that there is a nice house in the community, but my mother dislikes that the house is too expensive.
The house on our right is also on the top floor. There are three households on one staircase. The house is 1802 and 1902. It is right in the middle of the two houses. The house is transparent from north to south. There is a basketball court and playground downstairs. The floors are high and clean. .
The homeowner also just bought the house and wanted to use it for his own residence after the renovation. As a result, his wife took a fancy to a house in a newly built building. She felt that it was close to the County No. 1 Middle School, which would be convenient for the children to go to school in the future. His wife had already moved with that house. After negotiating with the sales office nearby, and waiting for the money to be used, the owner of this house had no choice but to sell it. "
After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Han Xiaosheng was very interested and said to Han Zijun:
"Dad, it's Chinese New Year today and a lot of people are at home. Why don't you contact the landlord? If it's convenient for the landlord, let's go and have a look with the whole family after lunch. If there's no problem, we'll buy it on the spot. You tell the landlord that we can pay in cash. , no need to go through loan procedures.”
"Okay, I'll make a call."
Han Zijun went into the back room to make a phone call, while Han Xiaosheng continued chatting with her sister.
After 3 minutes, Han Zijun came out and said happily:
"I was lucky. The owner was eager to sell. I heard that I had to pay cash, so I immediately agreed to take a look after lunch."
Han Xiaosheng and Han Ying were also very happy and unanimously requested to see the house after lunch.
The lunch at noon was very sumptuous. There were 2 tables in the living room, each with 10 dishes and 1 soup.
These 10 dishes are the famous "Top Ten Bowls of Longjiang".
The top ten bowls of Longjiang are delicacies that have been passed down in Longjiang for thousands of years.
The Ten Big Bowls of Longjiang are the main forms of banquets in the countryside of Longjiang. There are no hotels in the countryside, and banquets are held at home. Local chefs are invited to come and cook. Every household in the countryside has a large stove with firewood, and the Ten Big Bowls are made with local food. The local dishes made with ingredients have been passed down to this day and have become exquisitely crafted products.
Today’s top ten bowls made by my mother are everyone’s favorites:
The first bowl is fried pork, the second bowl is winter bamboo shoots, the third bowl is braised meatballs, the fourth bowl is asparagus, the fifth bowl is shredded louver, the sixth bowl is pork belly, the seventh bowl is vermicelli, and the eighth bowl is rice noodles. The bowl is braised pork, the ninth bowl is braised fish, and the tenth bowl is vegetables.
Everyone was already greedy and started eating fried meat early before the banquet started.
When everyone sat down at the dining table, Han Zijun raised his glass and started a toast:
"It's snowing outside, there's laughter inside, and everyone is enjoying themselves. This year is the most comfortable year I've ever had in my life.
In the past year, everyone has worked hard and gained a lot through their hard work. The children are growing up healthily, and everyone's life is getting better and better.
Especially at the end of this year, we, as a family, have been blessed by God, with good fortune and good luck. We have also opened a health center, made money, and improved our lives. This can be seen from the joy on everyone's faces. figure it out.
As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year. If you look at the heavy snow outside the window, it indicates that we will be happier and happier next year.
Here, please raise a toast to everyone’s health, happiness and endless wealth next year! "
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
...
Everyone clinked glasses excitedly, cheered, and began to enjoy the delicious food while toasting to each other.
