Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, a total of 4 women, 300 dumplings were made in less than an hour.Yang Jie took the child to watch, but she didn't see her working.Li Aihua's daughter-in-law has a bad mouth. Although she didn't say anything, she has already opened the chatterbox in her heart and talked to herself.

After making the dumplings, everyone left.

When it was time to eat dumplings in the evening, everyone came: 2 from Grandpa Li’s family, 7 adults from Uncle Li’s family, a 4-year-old Xiao Chenggong, He Kai, Gu Xi, Li Chengtu, Li Aizhong’s family did not come, nor did they go to the elders in the village. Canteen, in the room.

Gu Xi went to call: "Brother, sister-in-law, let's eat dumplings together."

"Hey."

"coming."

They didn't go to the cafeteria, weren't they just waiting for dumplings?Everyone who called the Li family must have their share.

Gu Xi had already filled up the dumplings, he said, "20 in each bowl, three kinds of dumplings are mixed together, you can serve whatever you want." There are 13 adults in total, 13 medium bowls.Gu Xi gave Xiao Chengtu 10 and Xiao Chenggong 5. 275 dumplings are gone, only 300 in total.

There are 20 in a bowl. The amount shocked Aunt Li and the others. Even if you go to a state-run restaurant to eat, there are not so many.

This evening, everyone was full and even finished the dumpling soup, because they thought the dumpling soup was delicious.Then a group of people chatted at Gu Xi's house again. They chatted until ninety o'clock before they dispersed.

In the evening, Yang Jie and Li Aizhong were chatting.

"Patriotism is quite impressive, with 20 dumplings per bowl." Yang Jie said, "I don't see any dishes in the cupboard. He hides those bacon and cabbage in his room?"

Li Aizhong glanced at her: "Are you unhappy with the food?"

Yang Jie smiled: "This is the best and fullest meal I've eaten since I came back."

"Then you don't care where he hides his things." Li Aizhong said, he is not the kind of person who would take advantage of others.

"But we didn't know when these things were separated, right?" Yang Jie said.

Li Aizhong replied: "I haven't been at home for ten years, and my father has been dead for a year and a half. Could it be that these things were prepared by my father before his death? The things he prepared after my father's death are all his. What are you doing there?"

"I'll just talk about it." Yang Jie said, "What do you think he will cook tomorrow morning? Didn't he make 300 dumplings in the afternoon? These people ate 275 in the evening, and there are still 25 left."

Li Aizhong said: "When we came back, we also brought some leftover rice and flour. Since Aiguo borrowed the iron pot back, if you want to make dumplings, you should borrow his iron pot and use it. It shouldn't be a problem."

"How can you make dumplings with flour but no vegetables or meat?"

"I'll give you all the meat tickets we get in the army every month."

"Didn't I buy meat for you and your son every month? Otherwise, you and your son can be so strong?"

"Okay, it's my fault."

"That's what it was."

Of course, Gu Xi didn't know what the couple was talking about. In this day and age, the nights were very difficult. There was no TV, no mobile phone, and no internet.

"Little 4, help me find out when the TV will be on the market."

"Host, the first TV in this time and space was successfully tested on March 58, 3."

"So you can buy a TV?" Gu Xi thought about it, but then it disappeared, "There is no closed circuit, and it is useless to buy it."

At the beginning of the first month, we got together earlier than usual, because the children had to go to every house to pay New Year's greetings, so they got up very early.Gu Xi cooked 25 dumplings from yesterday, steamed 4 bowls of custard, and took out 8 steamed cabbage rolls. From today, Li Chengtu, who is 8 years old, gave Grandpa Li 2 bowls of custard and 4 steamed cabbage rolls.

Human feelings are mutual.At the beginning, Grandpa Li favored Li Aizhong, but when the family was separated, Grandpa Li was fairly fair. Gu Xi respected the elderly very much, and he respected his grandfather very much. Of course, this kind of respect has a bottom line.If Grandpa Li can always be so fair, Gu Xi can always be so filial.

When he came back, Li Chengtu spread his palms and gave Gu Xi the money in his hand: "Father, here it is."

"Where did you get the money?" Seeing his happy face, Gu Xi certainly knew where it came from.

"The New Year's money given by my great-grandfather said that I am eight years old, and I am a young adult." Li Chengtu said.

"Hide it yourself." Gu Xi said, last year he also gave Li Chengtu new year's money, seven cents at the age of seven.But it was the first time Grandpa Li gave New Year's money, so Li Chengtu was very happy.What makes him happy is not the money, but the feeling that he is valued by Grandpa Li.As he said that, Gu Xi also took out eight cents from his pocket, "Here, happy eight years old. From this year onwards, you will work hard to grow up to nine years old."

"Thank you, Dad. I will work hard to grow up." Li Chengtu returned to the room and found a jar from the far corner of the closet. It was a jar of milk malt essence. He washed it clean, and there was 7 cents in it. With the 8 points given by Grandpa Li and Gu Xi today, he has a deposit of 2 cents.

"Ms. Li, we are here to celebrate the New Year."

"Mr. Li, I wish you a happy new year."

A group of children headed by Li Goudan came.

"Thank you, and I wish you a happy new year." Gu Xi brought out the cooked dumplings, picked one for each of them, and prepared 2 shredded dried fish, 2 pieces of dried pork, [-] slices of sweet potato, One kiwi per person.

"Mr. Li, is Chengtu going to visit us for New Year's greetings?" Li Goudan asked.

"Chengtu hasn't eaten yet, so I won't go. He will come to play with you after he has eaten." Gu Xi said.

"Okay, thank you teacher, see you again, Teacher Li."

"Goodbye."

After the students left, Gu Xi and Li Chengtu started to eat.Two steamed cabbage rolls and a bowl of egg custard per person.While they were eating, Yang Jie came.Seeing the food on their table, his eyes flashed: "Patriotic and Chengtu woke up, it's really early."

"Hello, Auntie." Li Chengtu called out.

"Morning sister-in-law." Gu Xi said.

"Morning." Yang Jie saw the aluminum teapot on the stove inside, went to pick it up, and found that there was water in it, she said, "Patriotic, I'll use the hot water first, make milk malt extract for the child, wait I'll pay you back after I burn it."

"Row."

"Patriotic, I'm also going to make dumplings at noon, do you still have food?" Yang Jie asked, "Lend me some first, and I'll return it to you when we buy it at the vegetable market in the county at the beginning of the year."

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I have some vegetables here, but I will use them when my relatives come tomorrow, so I can't borrow them from you." Gu Xi said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yang Jie's smile was a little stiff, she couldn't say that relatives' visit was not as important as them.After she poured the hot water from the aluminum teapot into the thermos and returned to the room, her whole face sank completely, "I'll wash my son's face and make milk malt extract, and you go and cook a boiled egg for him," her voice didn't The tenderness of the past.

"I'll go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast first, and cook for him when I come back." Li Aizhong said.

"Then what if he's hungry?" Yang Jie asked.

"Isn't it okay to drink milk malt extract? Why are you hungry?" Li Aizhong frowned, "It's so early in the morning, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Jie said: "It's nothing, this is the hot water boiled by Aiguo, remember to boil a pot and return it to him later."

"Ah."

"Even if we use him a bottle of hot water and have to return it, is this still a brother?" Yang Jie asked again.

Li Aizhong replied: "It's not the same mother." And there is a big age difference, he was born when he went to work in the fields. "And you can boil hot water yourself, why use his?"

"The child needs to be washed in the morning, how can I have time to burn it?" Yang Jie asked back.

"It can be cooked last night." Li Aizhong said.

"I coaxed my son to sleep last night, but I forgot about it later." Yang Jie said.

Li Aizhong didn't say anything, and went out to buy breakfast.

Yang Jie was really in a bad mood.The cafeteria is eaten every day these days. Although it is not as good as the army, she can bear it and get used to it.She graduated from high school and married Li Aizhong. She didn't dislike Li Aizhong, the second marriage, because she liked Li Aizhong. Li Aizhong was tall and had his own opinions.Later, because Li Aizhong was implicated by her family, she thought that when she arrived in Lijia Village, she would be the head of the family.She had seen Li Aiguo a long time ago, so she didn't take it seriously.

How did he know that Li Aiguo would slap him in the face as soon as he came the next day.

This morning, they were going to the cafeteria to eat, but Li Aiguo was eating steamed buns and custard at home. Why?She is a city resident who graduated from high school, can't she be a country boy?

The more Yang Jie thought about it, the angrier she became.But when Li Aizhong bought breakfast and came back, she had already returned to normal.She has always been good at acting, even if she has thoughts in her heart, she can't make trouble with men.

During the meal, Yang Jie suggested: "Isn't it expensive for us to spend money in the cafeteria every day?"

"The cafeteria is not a state-run restaurant, and it doesn't make money. It charges money according to the price of grain." Li Aizhong said, "I will go to the farm after the first month, and then I don't have to charge money for eating in the cafeteria."

"Are you going to keep going to the ground?" Yang Jie asked with a smile.

Li Aizhong raised his eyebrows: "Don't you wait for the notice? Save as much as you can during this time, we don't have much money... how much money do we have?"

"Including the patriotism, there are still 1300." Yang Jie said, "Is it expensive to build a house in the countryside?"

"What do you want to do?" Li Aizhong didn't answer, but asked in a deep voice.

"We only have one room, and the kitchen is empty, so it's inconvenient to add something. You have to take a bath in the room, and they also use the woodshed. Why don't we build our own house?" Yang Jie asked.

Li Aizhong frowned, and after a while, he said: "You thought I would always work here?" His voice was joking, but he couldn't tell what it meant.

"Of course not." Yang Jie said, "I just want us to live a more comfortable life and our son to live a more comfortable life. Even after you change jobs, you are still in the county, and you have to come back occasionally. The root is always here, My grandparents are here, and my father's grave is also here, what do you think?"

Li Aiguo hummed.

Yang Jie is also a smart person, so the topic did not continue.
