Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Ergou was wearing a well-dressed suit and holding a microphone, which he had borrowed from elementary school. He looked very handsome.

Zhang Xiuhua whispered to Li Jianguo in the audience, "It's so cold, why are you wearing a suit? Look at him, he's frozen like a quail!"

Li Jianguo also felt that Ergou was a bit too much, especially after being described by Xiuhua, he really looked like a quail. He laughed out loud, "It's okay. Just take off your down jacket when you go on stage to host. You'll put it back on when you get off stage."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Xiangxiang on the stage. She had her hair tied up in a bun and was wearing a cheongsam. Although she was covered with snow-white fur, that thing was not at all able to protect her from the cold!

Zhang Xiuhua didn't quite understand. Both of them had big businesses, so why were they so weird? She finally managed to say, "These two people really take our party very seriously!"

"Of course." Li Jianguo looked proud, "This is the pride of our Lijiatun."

Seeing how handsome he was, Zhang Xiuhua did not spoil his fun. Instead, she watched the two people on the stage announce their program and then leave the stage. Then, she couldn't wait to put on her down jacket, holding hot water in both hands, shivering with cold.

Li Jianguo brought a stove from home to make the hot water. He filled a steel pot with water and put it on the stove. Anyone who was thirsty could come and have a cup of water.

You will definitely catch a cold if you sit all the time in such a cold day. Holding a cup of hot water will warm you from the inside out.

The audience members in the audience were all wearing quilts, scarves around their necks, and their bodies were wrapped up like balls.

The people on the stage held the microphone and sang with the accompaniment of the radio. The villagers who could sing also came on stage to perform together.

In view of the enthusiastic registration, there is no mandatory performance this year. Anyone who wants to sing can sing a song. Everyone has a chance.

The yangko dancers are no longer a family, but a dozen good sisters dancing together. Of course, their mouths are not idle either, with clear and pleasant voices, in unison, singing out the beautiful vision of the great rivers and mountains.

The villagers in the audience applauded enthusiastically, and from time to time they would shout, "Good! One more!"

The sounds of gongs and drums rang out, and the women on the stage could not refuse the hospitality and performed another piece for everyone.

At this moment, someone behind her clapped and said "good". Zhang Xiuhua was slightly startled, because she was sitting in the last row, why was there someone behind her? She turned around and saw that they were people she didn't know. She touched Li Jianguo's arm, and he followed her line of sight and met their eyes. He immediately recognized them as villagers from next door.

There was not just one stranger, there were several. They just passed by here, heard the noise, and came over to take a look.

It doesn't matter if you just take a look, after taking a look, everyone will laugh together.

Seeing that they were standing, Li Jianguo asked Zhuzhu to go home and move some stools so that they could sit down and watch the show together.

These people thought it was too cold to sit and insisted on standing. Li Jianguo could no longer insist.

Singing, yangko dancing, crosstalk, bamboo clappers, duo performances, and skits took turns to be performed, and even Zhuzhu went up to sing a song.

The performance at this party was not long, only about three hours in total, but the villagers watched it with gusto, and when the show ended, everyone was still reluctant to leave.

Some villagers had so much fun that they pulled Li Jianguo over and said they would host another one next time.

Li Jianguo responded with a smile.

The family that received the most applause got the fish. It didn't matter if there was no reward.

Li Jianguo asked each family to send one person to come on stage to draw the lottery. The person would receive the dish for the number that he or she drew.

This is purely a matter of luck. However, the dishes prepared by each family are very rich, so there is no question of whether you will suffer a loss or not. It can only be said that everyone has different tastes.

After each family has drawn their prize, they take the dish they have drawn home.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Zhuzhu to come on stage and draw the prize. She drew a Northeastern hotpot, which contained beef, mutton, fish, pork, goose meat, sausage, beans, potatoes, eggplant, green pepper, tomato, fungus and other vegetables, which were stewed together with the meat.

"It makes me hungry just by looking at it. Let's go! Let's go home and heat it up and eat it quickly! I'm hungry!"

Everyone was either holding or carrying a stool and walking home together.

The food was reheated and served on the table. The children in the family tasted different flavors. They said the dish was really delicious. "The meat smells so good."

"Yes, it was probably braised beforehand. The flavor is very strong." Zhang Xiuhua guessed the method.

She asked everyone to guess, "Who made this dish?"

Ergou immediately said, "Uncle Jianxin. He is always generous when cooking!"

This dish is really affordable, with several kinds of meat in it. The vegetables are also green, which is rare at this time of year.

Ji Lin guessed, "It must be Aunt Wang's family. Her family made a lot of money this year."

"In terms of making the most money, I think it's Xiangxiang's family. Her family invested a lot of money in the brewery."

Zhuzhu thought it might be the uncle's house, "Auntie's cooking is better."

After all, his father is a chef, and it's normal for him to learn how to cook from him.

Unfortunately, it was none of them. Zhang Xiuhua finally revealed the answer, "It's Zhang Jinbao's house!"

As soon as this was said, Zhuzhu was the first to say no, "The food at his house is so delicious, why did that Juemei hide behind my house to smell the fragrance?!"

This question is absolutely correct. Li Jianguo said, "A good cook cannot cook without rice. How could we have cooked so many meat dishes under the previous conditions?"

Ergou was surprised, "Did his family make money this year? Why can they put so much meat?"

"Didn't Zhang Jinbao deliver food with your uncle?" Zhang Xiuhua guessed, "Maybe he made a lot of money. But his mother's cooking is really delicious."

Ji Lin also thought of Zhang Jinbao's embarrassing incident, "Is he still looking for a partner now?"

"Once bitten, you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years. He was cheated by a woman from another place before, and now his parents don't want to find someone from another place, but who among the locals would like him?" Zhang Xiuhua shook her head in disgust. Now is the time when family planning is the most strict. His family is so patriarchal that they have given birth to seven daughters. If she marries in, she must give birth to a son.

What parent would push their daughter into a fire pit? Moreover, his family conditions were only average.

They welcomed the New Year by chatting about village gossip.

There were not many changes this year. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the able-bodied laborers began to take the train to the south to work.

The fields are planted with ginseng, and weeding is usually enough, which can be done by the women at home. They can also earn more money by working outside.

The old people, women and children at the village entrance saw these people off.

Zhang Xiuhua also felt sad. But when she saw Zhang Jinbao also carrying a bag and saying goodbye to his parents, she pulled Xu Chunying aside and asked, "Zhang Jinbao, are you going out to work too?"

"Yes." No one in Xu Chunying's family wanted to go out to work, so she came here just to watch the fun. "Jinbao couldn't find a wife here, so his father asked him to go out to work and see if he could meet a girl and bring her back!"

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Now that he's gone, how is Big Brother going to deliver the food?"

"It's okay. Mom is much better now. She can go out to bask in the sun and massage her calves." Xu Chunying said with a smile, "I can just cook at home."

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it and it made sense. If her mother-in-law could leave, she could take care of herself, and her children could breathe a sigh of relief.

If there is any regret this year, it is probably that they didn't get to see Baolin's game video. I don't know if they missed it or the TV station didn't broadcast it. They didn't get to see Baolin's game.

It was Baolin who called her from overseas to tell her that she had won the 1992 short track speed skating championship.

The family was also happy for Baolin, but also a little regretful. Zhuzhu frowned in distress, "I don't know where to buy the tapes of this Winter Olympics. I want to see the wonderful scene of Baolin winning the championship."

Ergou pursed his lips and said, "I'll go to the video store and ask when I get home. I'm sure I'll find it."

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the children left one after another and Zhang Xiuhua also went back to work.

Li Jianguo continued to work on the brewery business. He had to go to the government hall from time to time. Finally, after half a month, he got all the certificates.

"With this, everything is legal for us!" Li Jianguo looked at the documents and thought about his efforts over the past year. "It's really not easy!"

In order to obtain these documents, he made 20 or 30 trips this year, and every time he did so, he had to treat people to a meal, which made him very full.

Zhang Xiuhua asked curiously, "With this, do we have to pay taxes?"

"You still have to pay taxes without it! If you have it, you don't have to worry about being sued." Li Jianguo asked her, "I saw the mall was going to be transferred a few days ago. Do you still want to buy it?"

"How much?" Zhang Xiuhua has always wanted to take over this shopping mall, but the opportunity never came.

"It's not written there. We can have dinner with him and ask him in person." Li Jianguo said casually.

"We have to drink again?" Zhang Xiuhua frowned instinctively. She didn't know what was wrong. We had to discuss things over the wine table. Even if Li Jianguo could drink a pound of alcohol a day, he would drink his stomach sooner or later!

Li Jianguo saw her frowning and said quickly, "It's okay! We won't drink this time. We are buyers."

Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay! Go ahead and ask him out."
