60s Splendid Life

Years ago, someone sent a bag of chestnuts, but he didn't want to eat them, so Lu Jin used them to make chestnut roast chicken. Chestnuts are delicious, but they are too difficult to peel. It took a long time to peel such a large bowl and burn a pot of chicken.

There are more dishes for the festival than usual. In addition to the chestnut roast chicken, I also fried four or five dishes, steamed a piece of meat, and made a boiled fish.The boiled fish is almost the last thing to do. The hot oil is poured on top of the fish, and it smells sizzling and full of the spicy aroma of the kitchen, even people outside can smell it.

"This smell is too sweet!" The person who smelled it outside swallowed hard, because the smell is too overbearing.

Lu Jin, who was in the kitchen, heard the voices outside, and shouted with a smile: "It's time to prepare dinner, is the table covered, everyone, come and bring the dishes over."

"Come on, come on. The table has been laid, just wait for our dish to be served."

Zhang Dahe and Cao Meng were very active in serving the dishes, and their grandfather and uncle also came to serve the dishes. There were seven or eight people, and each person did not need to go twice to serve the dishes.

The tables in the room have already been laid, and the benches and chopsticks are placed according to the number of people.

Lu Jin was still frying a green vegetable in the kitchen. It was shredded cabbage. Everyone in his family loved this dish. He put half a bowl of pork belly in it and fried it until the oil came out, and then poured the green vegetable into it for frying.The fire in the stove was huge, and the dishes were fried within a few minutes after being out of the pot. He made two portions of each dish and left a small portion for it.He scooped two spoonfuls of water into the pot and put the lid on it. He didn't even wash the pot, and called his younger sister who was still in the kitchen to help light the fire to go eat with him, and the two brothers and sister went out with the dishes.

As soon as he saw him coming in, the kid who was thinking about eating big cakes shouted: "Brother, big cakes, big cakes, I want to eat big cakes!"

"Okay, I remember, I'll bring you in when you're here." Naturally, Lu Jin didn't forget the two pizzas in the stove, and let the adults and children cook in the house, so he went out and brought in two pizzas , Cut it into several small pieces with a knife, half of which is gone for each child.

Adults like to drink, and this kind of good life is indispensable to drink.

They have self-brewed wine at home, but they were all brewed last year. They haven’t had time to make these things when they come back this year. However, the aged wine is more mellow and tastes better than the new wine. For those who like to drink, take a sip of this The scent is almost intoxicating.

"Pour it up and pour it up." Cao Meng had a good capacity for drinking, and asked Zhang Dahe to fill his bowl with wine. When the transparent wine poured into the bowl, there was a strong smell of wine. He held the bowl with both hands, deeply He took a breath, took a sip, smacked his mouth twice, nodded and said, "Good wine! It smells good!"

"Yeah, this wine tastes better the more it is drunk." Grandpa Yu said after taking a sip.

Murong Zhende is a person who doesn't like to talk when drinking. Although he has studied abroad in those years, he still prefers Chinese food and wine.

Qi Yu used to like to drink, and he also liked to drink foreign wine, but now the luxurious life has long been far away from them, and his body can no longer allow him to squander at will. I was greedy, but I didn't say I wanted to take a bite.

The wine is warming on the stove. It is a pleasant day to eat good food and drink good wine in this weather.

Lu Jin also doesn't drink. One is that he is still young, and the other is that he doesn't have much interest in this thing. In his previous life, if it wasn't because he had to drink some wine sometimes, otherwise he wouldn't drink at all. Yes, so when the adults were drinking, he ate vegetables with his younger brothers and sisters.

"Don't eat this, save some for others to eat, this dish is also delicious, why don't you eat it? Don't you like pickled fish? If you like to eat this big pancake, brother will come when you are free some other day." Let’s make it for you, let’s eat something else today.” A few children finished a pizza and wanted to continue eating, but Lu Jin didn’t give it to them, and let the children eat a la carte, such a good dish, just eat Pizza was wasted.

After hearing from his brother that he could make it another day, Lu Haochen looked at the other dishes and thought they looked delicious, but he didn't forget to bargain with his brother before using his chopsticks, "Brother, you Promise us, don't lie to us."

"When have I lied to you?" Lu Jin stretched out his hand and knocked the boy who suspected him on the head, and said with a tigery face, "Hurry up and eat, if you eat slowly, there will be no cake next time."

"Hee hee!" Lu Haochen thought for a while, his brother really didn't deceive them, so he happily picked up the chicken with his chopsticks and ate it, and he didn't forget to pick up a piece of chicken for the sister and younger brothers next to him, which fully demonstrated He is a good brother (brother) duty.

The adults were still drinking, and the children left the table to play when they were full.

Not long after, brothers Da Mao and Er Mao came to their house to play. I heard a few children telling Da Mao and Er Mao that their flatbread was delicious. Brother Da Mao and Er Mao were poking their heads at the door. Fortunately, there were still leftovers on the table. For the second half of the pizza, Lu Jin gave the two brothers a piece to eat.Several children in their family saw others eating pizza and wanted to eat it, and looked at him eagerly. He looked over with one look, and the children ran away quickly.

After eating, Lu Jin also went out, and saw a group of children playing outside the yard, and a few geese were also joining in the fun, flapping their wings and flying around, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly.At this time, Ermao came over to whisper to him, telling him in a low voice: "Brother, my mother is going to have a little sister."

Lu Jin counted the days. His sister-in-law Xiumei was about to give birth around this time. He squatted down and hugged the tiger-headed child, and asked the child, "Do you like little sister?"

A shy smile appeared on Xiao Ermao's face, he nodded and said, "Well, I like it."

"Then if it's my younger brother, do you still like it?" Lu Jin asked again.

This time, Xiao Ermao hesitated for a while before reluctantly answering him, "I like it too."

It seemed that he didn't like it very much. Lu Jin couldn't help laughing in his heart, and discussed with the child: "If it's a younger brother, let's like my younger brother too, okay? Don't you think Xiaobao is cute? If my mother gave birth to her like Xiaobao The same little brother, we still like him, okay?"

"Okay!" Er Mao looked at the beautiful little Bao'er, and nodded this time without any hesitation.

"Brother gives you candy, take it and share it with everyone." Lu Jin took out a handful of candy from his pocket and gave it to the child, asking him to share it with everyone.

The child ran away happily after taking the candy, and went to distribute the candy to everyone.

Their little Bao'er got the candy and ran towards him on a small wooden cart. Lu Jin grabbed the child and checked his feet, asking him if they hurt.With sugar in his mouth, Xiao Baoer kept sucking saliva, shaking his head and saying it didn't hurt.

However, Lu Jin is still worried that the child's feet will be affected if he plays too much, because he may have played too much at home in the past few days. Although he is riding a small car, his feet will still touch the ground. When he said that his feet hurt, he was a little worried, and discussed with the child: "Can you go back to the house to rest after playing for a while?"

"Yes brother." Xiao Bao'er agreed without any hesitation, but the next second he ran away on his little wooden cart.

Lu Jin stood behind and watched, the running away child looked back at him, and showed him a shy and cute smile, his eyes were crooked, and he was so pretty, he couldn't help but also smiled, Seeing him smile, the child rode a bicycle and ran out the door following his brothers.

Knowing that the children would not run far, at most they would play in the alley at the door, so I called my elder sister to tell me not to take my younger brothers to play at the aunt's house next door, but my elder sister responded that he didn't care about the group of children anymore, and went back Going to eat with his grandparents in the house, listening to everyone gossiping.

***

The uncles were about to go back after eating. Lu Jin put the special dishes in a small basket, and quietly handed them to his uncle when he was about to leave, "Uncle, this is for Uncle Liu Yes, you can take it to Uncle Liu when you go back."

"Okay, he will be very happy knowing that you are thinking about him." Yu Jun accepted his nephew's kindness without hesitation.

"Uncle, don't you guys have holidays during Chinese New Year? Why don't you bring Uncle Liu to your house for dinner some other day when you have time?" Lu Jin said.

When Yu Jun heard what his nephew said, he subconsciously glanced at his old father, touched his nose and said, "Let me see the situation." The main reason is that his father didn't agree, and he didn't dare to bring him over.Although he likes that person and wants to bring him to his father to see, but if his father really disagrees, he doesn't want to wrong that person. Instead of bringing him to see his father's face, it's better for the two of them to leave temporarily Nice meeting.

Lu Jin knew that his uncle was worried about his grandfather, and he helped his uncle persuade his grandfather a few days ago, but whether the old man can think about it and accept his uncle's matter depends on the old man's will. There is no way to force the elderly to accept it.

Yu Wenchang was still having temper tantrums with his son. When his son left, he didn't go out to see him off. He heard the motorcycle going away outside, and when he saw his grandson came back, he asked, "Your uncle and the others left?"

"Yeah, uncle is gone, and he said he will come back when he is free some other day." Looking at his grandfather's appearance, Lu Jin knew that the old man was reluctant to let his son go, but he couldn't bow his head to his son, so he could only hold back in his heart Yes, but there are outsiders here at the moment, so he can't persuade his grandfather. He can only enlighten the old man when there are no outsiders around.

Because they cooked for lunch, they made dumplings in the evening and cooked a big pot of dumplings.

On New Year's Eve, their family kept watch until several children fell asleep one after another, so they blew out the lights and went to sleep.

This sleep lasted until the next morning. Hearing the sound of watch guns outside, Lu Jin opened his eyes, glanced at the few children who were sleeping around him, and couldn't help laughing. Stretching for a while, I thought to myself that another year has passed, how fast the days go by...
