meet the prince and meet love

On New Year's Eve, Xiao Yun started to organize people to clean up the house early in the morning, and he took Zhang Dazhuang, and two old ladies, Aunt Shu and Erniang Shu, who were busy in the kitchen, trying to clean up the big family. The lunch is ready, and the breakfast is just dealt with hastily.

And Tie Han watched the children in the house, and wrote couplets by the way. In the past, they really didn't have this kind of talk here, but when ordinary people built houses, they would directly engrave them on wooden boards, called couplets or bamboo couplets. couplet.

He heard Xiao Yun say to write couplets on red paper today, he still felt very fresh, so he wrote the couplet that Xiao Yun had thought up yesterday, and pasted couplets on the gate of their house and the doors of every house , Even the pigsty is pasted with 'Fat Pigs Full of Circles', and the lower house is also pasted with "Grain Full", and there are big blessings on the house, which makes people feel good and auspicious!

Originally, Tie Han was going to visit his grandfather's grave early in the morning, but Xiao Yun told him that he had gone for him a few days ago, explained to the old man in front of the grave, and sent a good altar Wine, and the old man's favorite meat dishes, let him wait until the fifteenth day to give the old man a lantern!

He was supposed to do these things, but Xiao Yun did it for him, which made him feel warm in his heart. Xiao Yun is the only person like this!

When the couplet was written, everyone helped to paste it together. Xiao Yun was holding the child in the house to watch the fun, and Tiedan clapped his little hands to go out. Xiao Yun kissed the child, "No, son, we have to stay inside the house, outside It's too cold, I'm taking you out when the weather is warmer."

When a group of people came into the house laughing and laughing, Xiao Yun took out the frozen wild fruits that had been melted long ago and put them on the table, as well as dried fruits. These were all reserved by Xiao Yun in advance, and these things can be regarded as Rare things, these people did not have the opportunity to eat them in previous years, the main reason is that the supplies are too scarce, some things they don’t know and dare not eat, even those frozen wild fruits are the first time they have eaten, winter has not yet arrived in previous years It was picked up by the children in this village, so how could there be a chance to keep it until winter!

Everyone ate and drank for a while, and Xiao Yun took a look. Apart from him and Tie Han's family of three this year, there were only five brothers from the Tie family. It is 20 people.

Don't look at the twenty people, they will be the main force of their family after the new year, and they need their help in many things, and these people can read and write, which Xiao Yun didn't expect at the beginning, and he is still very satisfied with Wang Xian's arrangement .It's okay now, Xiao Yun said: "Now I'm free, I'll make the dumplings for dinner first, and it will save trouble at night, and save the busy work."

The people didn't mean anything, so they took out the minced meat that had been chopped long ago, and wrapped it with the top when the dough was ready. The whole family was very happy. After wrapping it, they took it out with a lid to freeze it. It's cold this day, and it will freeze in a while, and I won't bring it back. When I bring it back at night, I can just put it in the pot.

The big guys worked until noon, and they were all packed, and then they all went back to rest for a while. After one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered in the main room. Chef Xiao Yun, Zhang Dazhuang followed, Lame Li made the fire, and the two old ladies helped serve the dishes. The people serve the table and the bowl with chopsticks, and the food will be on the table after a while.

Today's dishes are very rich, including stewed pheasant with mushrooms, old duck soup, braised fish, stewed pork with sauerkraut, braised pork ribs, sauced trotters, sauced pork liver, braised pork, and two vegetarian dishes, braised dried beans, and black Cabbage, a big table full, all served in medium-sized basins, divided into two tables, and there are good Laobaigan, you can drink it!

The whole family let go of their arms and drank it, even Xiao Yun wanted to drink it, but when he thought about his drinking capacity, he had to forget it, and one person had to be left to see if the child was right.

This is the first time for these people to eat such a delicious meal. Although there is no soy sauce, they don’t care. It’s better than boiled water in previous years. It was such a good meal for a Chinese New Year. In the first good year, when I was at home in previous years, even if I had meat, I couldn’t get it. My elder brother’s family ate it all. When it’s my turn, it’s good to have some meat left over. gone."

When everyone saw him like that, Ma Wu patted him on the back: "It's a big deal. In the future, there will be a master and Master Xiao. This kind of life will get better and better. There will be plenty of time to eat meat and drink."

Zhang Dazhuang wiped his eyes with his sleeve, "You're right, we will live a good life in the future, and the life now is something I didn't dare to imagine before. When I was a soldier, it wasn't me, it was my brother , but my brother was so heartless that he secretly conspired with my old mother to replace me who was not yet of age. I made a decision when I knew it. If I have the life to come back alive in this life, I will definitely not go back to my hometown.”

After hearing this, Ma Wu touched his eyes, "I'm not much better than you. When I was injured, I sent a letter to my family and told my brother about my situation. Guess my brother What do you say?"

"What did you say?" Zhang Dazhuang took a sip of his wine.

"Brother, we don't have a place for you now. If you come back, my daughter-in-law will go back to my mother's house with me and Li. Look, this is because I have a daughter-in-law who forgot about my brother. Back then, he had a good relationship with Mrs. Zhang from our village." Yes, I came to be a soldier in order to raise enough gifts from their family. Originally, my age was still one year away, so I didn’t want to go to the battlefield at all, but I came because of my brother. In the end, when my brother heard my legs If I'm lame, I won't be allowed in."

The next time, it became a meeting of suffering, the big guys talked about their dissatisfaction and psychological suffering, Xiao Yun looked at these people and knew that it was not easy for them, so he picked up the wine jar in his hand: "Brother Well, it’s Chinese New Year today, don’t talk about those sad things, come to me to toast everyone, wish everyone a happy New Year, drink this glass of wine, next year will be a new year, everyone’s life will be better every year Happy New Year, and Brother Tie and I have also discussed it. Everyone here is the leader of all parties in the future of our Tie family. The big guys will help Brother Tie to complete the major events of the coming year. When the time comes, you can’t lose money if you earn money. , then I earn less money this year, and I have less red envelopes for everyone, and when the Chinese New Year comes, I will give big ones to the big guys." After speaking, he took out a handful of red envelopes from his pocket, and distributed them to everyone. I bought one, not much, just 20 taels of silver bills.

Everyone looked at the banknotes in their hands, looked at the three members of Tiehan's family, and suddenly got up together and came to the three of them, and knelt down one after another: "Thank you, master, for the reward. The subordinates will definitely do their best."

Tie Han and Xiao Yun glanced at each other, then nodded: "Get up, it's Chinese New Year, hurry up and eat, or it will be cold in a while."

Everyone got up one after another, wiping tears while standing up, especially the two old ladies. This was the first time they met such a good host. The original host just kept them from starving, let alone being so generous.

After the whole family finished eating, they packed up. Xiao Yun didn't reach out. He was a little tired today. He wanted to take a vacation for himself, so he sat on the kang to rest. After a while, his eyelids began to fight. Han said, "Brother Tie, I'll sleep for a while, it's getting dark and you're calling me." Then he turned around and climbed into the kang, picked up the pillow and fell asleep.

Tie Han shook his head when he saw this, this person is real, but who told him to be Xiao Yun, he likes such a person, he doesn't pretend.It's not hypocritical, unlike some people who, in Xiao Yun's words, are pretending, and those who are not worth it will not like such a person.

When Tie Dan saw Xiao Yun sleeping, he also thought of going to sleep with Xiao Yun, but his father, Comrade Tie Han, didn't let him. If he slept now, they would wake up and they wouldn't sleep all night. I have to accompany you.So Tie Han took the child and went out to watch the big guys play some games unique to them in this deep valley, which is to guess odd or even.

When Tie Han came out, Tie Yizheng was holding a handful of small stones in his hand, and divided them into pairs on the ground. In Tie San's hand, there was already a pile of small wooden sticks. They were trophies, which meant that he won today. Of course, whoever will lose later After that, you have to go back to the house to boil footwashing water for the big guys, and burn the kang.

Tie Dan thought about it when he saw it was interesting, and Tie Han put him down. After Tie Dan landed on the ground, he used his new pair of tiger-toed shoes to remove a pile of small stones and sticks on the ground. He kicked it everywhere, and after he was done, he picked up one and put him in Tiehan's hands: "Father, here it is!" It means that those stones belong to his father.

Seeing that the stone in front of him was gone, Tiesan said with a mournful face: "Little master, you are too obsessed with the first brother. He was the one who lost just now. Now it's all right. We have to go back and burn the kang by ourselves later." .”

Tie Yi looked at Tie San like that, and was amused, "Hey, there's no way, in Master Xiao's words, we are very popular, and even Tie Dan likes us, so it's time to celebrate the New Year today, and we don't need to work."

After hearing this, Tie Han touched Tie Dan's head with his finger, meaning you, troublemaker!

Tie Dan didn't understand, rubbed his head with his hand, looked at Tiesan again, thought for a while, picked up a stone, and put it in his hand, "Good boy, third uncle." After speaking, he patted his leg.

All of a sudden, everyone in the room was overjoyed, this little master is really interesting!

When Xiao Yun woke up and came out of the Westinghouse, he saw the big guys sitting in a circle, and then there was a small iron egg standing in the middle. One, very serious, trying to be as fair as possible, without it, some people will push him what is in front of them, and then see him squatting down, and continue to score points for the big guy.

Xiao Yun looked at his watch, he has slept for two hours, this child won't share the stone for two hours, right?No dizziness can be regarded as iron egg's sense of direction!But looking at it a little distressed, he walked over, picked up the child, and let him rest for a while, probably almost sleepy.

When Tie Han saw Xiao Yun, he said, "|Are you awake?"

Xiao Yun nodded, looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock, "Let's cook the dumplings, and go to rest after eating, it's been a busy day."

Just at this moment, Mrs. Shu and her elder sister also came in from the door, with bundles in their hands, came to Tie Han and the other two, bowed together, and then Mrs. Shu said: "Master, Mr. Xiao, Happy New Year, both masters!" , This is a little thought from our old sisters. Thank you two masters for taking care of me for more than a month. If it weren't for Master Xiao, I'm afraid our sisters would have to be sold to other places by the master's family. How could there be such a leisurely life? For this reason, our elder sisters wanted to embroider something for the two masters, and just after we embroidered it, we brought it here." After speaking, he opened the fur skin, took out the two cloaks inside, and handed it to Xiao Xiao with both hands. In front of the couple.

After Xiao Yun took it and took a look, he couldn't help but said: "This craftsmanship is really good, the embroidery is also really good, the color is really good, thank you, aunt, quickly find a place to sit down, don't stand , New Year's Eve."

The two old ladies sat down on the stool. Erniang Shu opened another bag in her hand, "These are gloves I made for the big guys with the leftover cloth and cotton, one pair for each of them, don't dislike my old lady's." The workmanship is not good." After finishing speaking, I handed out a pair to everyone, and of course Master Xiao and his wife also had them.

Tie Han and Xiao Yun glanced at each other, after all, they came from a wealthy family, and they are very good at being human. This makes them suitable for helping Xiao Yun deal with some matters between women. After all, they are both men. In the future, if you want to do business, you will inevitably have opportunities to contact outsiders. When you meet a female relative or something, you just have a helper.

Thinking of this, Tie Han said to the two old ladies: "You two aunts, I will ask you two to help me deal with women in the future. There are some things we men have to say to avoid suspicion. Thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Shu is a person who can read people's eyes. He understands that this family is watching Xiao Yun busy, but Tie Han is the head of the family, and even Master Xiao listens to Tie Han. The meaning of the couple, and then nodded hastily: "Yes, please rest assured, our old sisters have lived in the previous head's house for many years, and have encountered all kinds of things. What does this help, that is As our duty, we will try our best to help Master Xiao."

Tie Han nodded. When he was in the capital, he also encountered a lot of incidents in the back house. Xiao Yun just returned to this place, so he has to be careful in many places and avoid suspicion. If anything happens, it will be difficult to deal with. up.

The next time, the big guys started to work, cooking dumplings and setting off firecrackers. It was almost eleven o'clock when they were eating. The big guys were very happy, and they ate the dumplings lively, and there was the rest of the night Those dishes, but did not drink alcohol, just drank some wine, which was made by Xiao Yun with the mountain grapes picked by others in autumn, two barrels of them were successfully brewed, and the remaining barrel was spoiled, it was so sour , At that time, he asked someone to drink a few mouthfuls of the pheasant at home. The next day, when he saw that the pheasant was fine, he knew it was not poisonous, and then used it as vinegar.

Today is Chinese New Year, just when the big guys relieve their cravings, these soldiers can really drink. This meal directly drank more than half a barrel, and Xiao Yun also drank a bowl, and then he didn’t drink much, mainly because he couldn’t drink it. Drunk, afraid of embarrassment, woke up early the next morning with a headache, and it was impossible for him to be a criminal.

Tiedan slept the last day today, and now he was sleepy, so he began to hug Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun understood that he was sleepy, and just as he had finished eating, he carried the child back to sleep, and the rest Let Tie Han handle the matter, and don't care about anything else.
