After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 124 Chapter 115

In the courtyard, except for a few places where the lights were not on, other places were brightly lit, and every household began to eat dumplings.

Those who can eat white noodles at home are considered wealthy. For example, some families can only eat steamed buns for Chinese New Year. At most, they can eat noodle steamed buns. The steamed buns have a layer of white flour on the outside and corn flour on the inside.

He Yu made dumplings into various specialties, such as fried dumplings, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, and dipped dumplings.

The stuffing inside each dumpling is different, and even the dumpling wrappers are colorful.

"Xiaoyu, you don't add pigment to this thing, do you?"

He Yu gave half of the dumplings to the uncle. The uncle had never seen such a beautiful dumpling, and thought that the dumpling was poisoned and the color was weird.

"Master, you are really worrying too much!"

He Yu took one with his hand and put it into his mouth, and made a special sound after eating it.

The uncle took a look, and it was fine to eat it, "You are a little weird, the old lady will definitely like it if she sees it!"

The old lady likes weird things. The old people are curious, and they have never seen such colorful dumpling wrappers in their time.

Xiaoling helped the old lady into the grandpa's house cautiously, the old lady saw her good grandson was there, and quickly called out, "Good grandson."

"Old lady, please sit down."

Xiao Ling took the crutches from the old lady, and He Yu helped the old lady to walk slowly to the table. The old lady saw that the table was really rich.

"Xiaoyu, what have you done?" The old lady raised her mouth and carefully looked at the contents of the bowl, "It's dumplings!"

"Old lady, you have such a good eye! These are dumplings filled with pork, shiitake mushrooms, beef, and cabbage, etc. Please sit down first, and dinner will be served later."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and then her eyes fell on He Yu's surroundings, "Xiao Yu, where's your brother? Why didn't you come together? I'm still waiting to have New Year's dinner with him!"

"Old lady, my brother has gone to cook for the big leader. He has to give the big leader face. He will come back almost late, and after I give you a New Year's greeting tomorrow morning, he will go home with Sister Qiuye."

The old lady was taken aback, "Cooking for the big boss, this kid has a future, so we don't care about him in that line, let's sit and eat together first, but you made a big table, can you finish it?"

"Sit down quickly, let's eat together! Hey, by the way, what about Qin Huairu's family, why didn't they agree to celebrate the New Year together before calling them over?"

The old lady looked at the door, but she didn't see Qin Huairu, so she asked the uncle.

The uncle smiled, "Qin Huairu is tidying up, it's not that Xiaoyu just sent some new clothes to their children, the children are busy trying on clothes, and they will come later, why don't we sit down first etc."

The uncle said this, and He Yu said, "Old Madam, Xiao Ling and I will go back first, there is still a table of food in this room."

The old lady was startled, and looked at He Yu suspiciously, "Xiao Yu, won't you stay here for dinner?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't speak, Xiao Ling quickly explained to the old lady, "We won't eat here, old lady. Xiao Yu and Mrs. Jia Zhang are having conflicts, and they are afraid that the New Year's Eve will affect everyone's mood. If Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Zhang make trouble this year If you are angry, you will lose your trouble."

The old lady nodded, but her words were different, "She dares, Mrs. Jia? Xiaoyu bought her new clothes, and she dares to do this! Eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

Seeing that the old lady misunderstood, Xiao Ling quickly said, "It's not for Jia Zhang's clothes, it's for the three children."

When the three children of Banggen saw the new clothes, without saying a word, all Xi Niu went to change into new clothes.

New Year's Eve, wear new clothes.

After the three children of Banggeng entered the room, the whole room erupted, led by Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua followed behind to play.

Stick can not help but feel the quality of the clothes, look at this stuff, it can be worth a lot of money.

"Old Ancestor, look, do I look handsome in my clothes?"

The stick spun back and forth in front of the deaf old lady several times, and then ran to the old man to show off the new clothes.

"I didn't expect Xiaoyu to pick clothes that fit her well, and the ones worn by Bangjong are just right."

The uncle touched the material, two words, "solid."

"This dress is warm, right?"

Stick stem rubbed his cuffs, he could feel the warmth when he touched it, "It's warm."

"Bangjiu, did you call someone?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu came in, wearing a large flowered padded jacket, the clothes I had seen last year, I didn't expect Qin Huairu to wear this one this year.

But this flower padded jacket doesn't make Qin Huai look old, it looks like a flower girl in her early twenties.

As soon as Jia Zhang entered the house, he patted the snow on his body and shook his body, feeling uncomfortable in the cold of winter.

The charcoal was only burned for a while, and the rest of Jiazhang's family was nestled in bed. After getting old, they were afraid of the cold and shivered all over. They didn't get warmer until they entered the uncle's house.

Before, the uncle sent some coal to Qin Huairu's family, otherwise, in this winter, he would have to bear the cold.

In order to save resources, Qin Huairu uses a little at night every day to sleep well, and at most one piece during the day.

"Grandpa, your house is warmer. It's too cold in winter." After Jia Zhang walked in, he walked inside, moved a bench and sat at the place closest to the briquettes.

"Old sister-in-law, it's time for dinner."

Mrs. Jiazhang was afraid of the cold, so he muttered, "Grandpa, let me take it easy. It's so cold in winter that it's hard to walk. It took a lot of effort to get from my house to yours. My feet kept shaking when I came here." .”

Mrs. Jia Zhang rubbed her hands while talking, she didn't seem to have any idea that He Yu was still there, and said she didn't notice, maybe some people deliberately pretended not to notice that Mrs. Jia couldn't see He Yu standing there with such a big living person. ?
"Okay, old sister-in-law, you bake first, children, wash your hands first."

"The uncle is right, Bang Geng led the younger sisters to wash their hands, and they can only eat at the table after washing their hands." Qin Huairu ordered.

Sticky is obedient, but Xiaodang is different. She looked at her little red hand, which was swollen with pus, "Mom, I don't want to wash my hands, it's cold."

Seeing Xiaodang's swollen hands, Xiaoling's heart ached. She grabbed Xiaodang's hands and saw that many frozen bags had been born.

"Sister Qin, Xiao Dang's hands can't touch cold water, you have to warm the child's hands."

It was only at this time that Qin Huairu noticed that Xiaodang's hands were bruised in many places, "Why are you so careless, I even warmed up the three of you at home."

Burning only one charcoal fire a day is not enough for the children, and the sticks are skinny. No matter how cold it is, I take my sisters to build snowmen. When the weather is cold, the hands are exposed for a long time. Itching, children like claws, which led to a lot of pustules.

"Sister Qin, go back and buy cotton gloves for Xiaodang. If you don't care about it for a long time, such a beautiful girl will leave scars on her hands."

"I know, I will buy it for my children then."

Qin Huairu said it nicely, but the money is all in savings. Although she is not as calculating as the third master, she has a clear calculation of the family's expenses, and she knows where to spend money and where not to spend money.

"Okay, let's eat dumplings!"

He Yu greeted everyone, and asked the children to sit down first. He returned to the house and brought over the leftover dumplings in the house. The children are growing up. They have a big appetite, so they can probably eat a few bowls.

As soon as the big guys came to the table, the old lady took out a few red envelopes from her pocket and gave them to the three children respectively.

"Great, hurry up and thank the ancestor!"

"Old ancestors, happy new year, live to be 150 years old."

Stick wiped his hands, happily took the red envelope, Xiaodang, Huaihua also followed to wish the old lady a happy new year.

The old lady was very happy to hear everyone's blessings. Everyone wants to live a long life of 150 years, but who in this world can reach this state. Of course, I am very happy to hear such blessings from the children.

"Bang, I won't give you any red envelopes, you kid. Just treat the clothes of the three of you as New Year's gifts! Don't turn around and ask me for red envelopes!" He Yu joked.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yu, even if you don't give me a red envelope, I still want to wish you a happy new year, good luck, and find the person you like sooner!"

When Stickong saw the red envelopes, his mouth was sweet, and the old lady liked it very much, so he handed the remaining two red envelopes to He Yu and Xiaoling respectively.

"I'm thinking of giving red envelopes to Xiaoyu and Shazhu. I'm so busy with work that I can't even be with you during the Chinese New Year. But that's fine. Men, for the sake of career, otherwise how can I support a big family, old lady I thought And look at my grandson's children!"

Qin Huairu continued, "Old lady, you can definitely see your great-grandson! Xiaoyu is not married yet, and you have to see him get married when the time comes, and when he gives birth to a big fat boy, there will be another big fat boy in this yard. Much more lively."

"Makes sense, makes sense."

He Yu took a meaningful look at the old lady, and that kind face came into his mind.

"Don't worry, I will." He Yu promised silently.

"What are you all so dazed about? It's time for dinner. This is a Chinese New Year's Eve. Let's have a good time!" The uncle divided the bowls and chopsticks for everyone, took a sip of wine, and glanced at the aunt, "Don't worry, this is a Chinese New Year's Eve. special case."

It's hard for the big mother who is celebrating the New Year to say anything, so I let the big man drink it.

The uncle continued, "I heard from Xiao Yu that these dumplings are filled with candy hearts. If anyone knows, they will be lucky for the whole coming year!"

Stick looked curiously at these colorful dumplings, only he, Uncle Yu, could make such strange things, but I have to say, the things looked a little strange, but the taste was amazing.

"I must be the one who got the candy heart!" Sticker said firmly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Dang also pouted his head, responding to the adults, "I want to eat too! This way Xiao Dang will have good luck in the coming year."

"Don't worry, all three of you will eat!" Qin Huairu said to the children.

He Yu smiled lightly, among the dumplings, there were not many dumplings with sugar hearts, and the three children could eat them all, but He Yu couldn't guarantee it.

However, this candy-filled dumpling is also a formality. After all, everyone hopes that their luck will skyrocket in the coming year and every family will make a fortune.

"Whoever wants to eat these lucky dumplings, I will give him 5 yuan a piece!"

Everyone looked at He Yu in shock. Five yuan is not a small sum. I don’t know how many lucky dumplings there are in this plate of dumplings. If there are five or six dumplings, it is almost worth a month’s wages of an ordinary worker. .

"Uncle Yu, I want to eat these red dumplings!"

Banggen couldn't wait to move his chopsticks first, when Qin Huairu called out, "Banggen, don't you understand the rules?"

In their place, the elders must move the chopsticks first, and the younger ones can use the chopsticks.

The old lady glanced at it, and everyone picked up the red dumpling, biting half of it, and suddenly felt the sweet juice coming out of the mouth, and chewing in the mouth, there was a crunchy feeling.

The old lady gently took out the remaining half of the dumpling on the chopsticks, and there was sugar juice flowing inside, no wonder there was a sweet taste in the mouth, and there was actually a crunchy ball inside.

"Old lady, you have eaten lucky dumplings here, right?" Qin Huairu stared at the half dumpling in the hand of the deaf old lady with wide eyes.

"It's eaten!"

He Yu nodded, and then took out a red envelope from her bosom. She had never seen a junior give a red envelope to an elder. The old lady shook her head and refused, "You should keep this red envelope for yourself."

"Old lady, Xiao Yu just said that everyone who eats the lucky dumplings will get a red envelope. Doesn't this red envelope mean good luck!" said the old man.

Immediately afterwards, the second aunt also echoed, "Yes, you can accept it, old lady, this is also Xiao Yu's wish!"

The old lady refused and shook her head, "I am very lucky to have this dumpling, and I can transfer your good luck, Xiao Yu, to me. Put this red envelope away, or I will be ruined!"

He Yu knew that the old lady didn't like this, so she quickly put it away, but she was very envious of the stickler beside her.

"Uncle Yu, can we move our chopsticks now? The dumpling that the old lady ate just now should be mine. I should know about this lucky dumpling!"

As soon as this remark was said, Qin Huairu said, "Banggan, there are still plenty of dumplings here, maybe you will know if you eat a few more, and you can't send out the red envelopes of Uncle Yu!"

But don't say, BangGou really thinks about the five dollars, five dollars can do a lot of things, and he has never taken five dollars.

"I can eat as many as I want!" Bang Geng took a bite of a dumpling, and was bored with too many dumplings.

At this moment, Huaihua suddenly ate something crunchy, and quickly took the rest out of her mouth. After seeing it, it was not a lucky dumpling. "Uncle Yu, is it this dumpling?"

Qin Huairu saw that Huaihua actually ate the lucky dumplings, "It seems that Huaihua will have good luck next year!"

"It seems that Huaihua is lucky. Come on, this is the red envelope that Uncle Yu gave you. Take it carefully."

Sophora Hua took the big red envelope, and couldn't help but sneak a peek inside, it was filled with a lot of tickets.

"I can eat sophora japonica, why can't I eat it? I ate a lot, and I'm almost full! But I have to say, Uncle Yu, the dumplings you make are delicious! It's lucky that there are fewer dumplings! "

"You boy, the blessing dumplings we eat depend on our luck. If I make all of them, are they still called blessing dumplings?" He Yu laughed.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoling who was on the side also ate convincing dumplings, and specially showed it to everyone.

Almost 20 minutes have passed, and no one else has eaten Fufu dumplings.

"Uncle Yu said that there are only three of your dumplings! Then I have no chance?"
