I open a small shop to support my family

New Year's Eve is to keep the year old. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family is full of wine and food, and the whole family eats a round belly. They walked around the main room several times before they lost their food.

The whole family sat on the kang, with down mattresses sent by Lu Ruan under their bodies, and down quilts covering their bodies. A red candle was lit on the kang cabinet not far away, and a bamboo sieve was placed on top of the quilts. Topped with fried hemp leaves and small twists and peanuts.

Yu Zhining was holding a hemp leaf and biting it. From time to time, he looked up at the little uncle and the little uncle who were talking together, full of joy.

At night, the children lack energy and always want to sleep, so only Meng Yunshu and Yu Jinhuai are left to watch the year.

Waiting until the sound of firecrackers was heard outside, Yu Jinhuai got up, wrapped his clothes tightly, picked up the firecrackers, and was about to go out, Meng Yunshu thought about it, and then got off the kang.

Yu Zhining was also woken up by the sound of firecrackers one after another, sat up in a daze, and saw his little uncle and uncle were about to go out, holding firecrackers in their hands, so he instantly woke up and wanted to go.

Because a business was done a few years ago, the sound of firecrackers in Cangnan Village this year kept coming and going, and it was very lively.

Yu Jinhuai opened the door, a red light was reflected from the hanging door, voices also appeared at the door of the neighbor's house, accompanied by the sudden sound of firecrackers, Meng Yunshu flinched in fright, couldn't help but took a small step back and leaned against Yu Jinhuai In his arms, he turned his head and met his deep and dark eyes, reflecting his own figure.

Looking at the smile on his lips, Meng Yunshu's heart fell into place.

Yu Zhining was excitedly standing at the door jumping up and down, when he heard Yu Jinlan's voice, he hurriedly looked over, the two little ones gathered together and pointed around and whispered.

In addition to firecrackers, they also bought other firecrackers. This kind of firecrackers is louder and more powerful than other firecrackers, and it is also called "Thunderbolt".

This is what Yu Jinyue was putting on. He put Jinglei on the ground, picked up the torch and lit it, covered his ears and quickly ran to the side. Yu Jinhuai, who was standing at the door of his house, covered Meng Yunshu's hand ear.

The two little ones also tightly covered their ears and hid away.

With a "bang", the red paper and debris scattered around, splashing the surrounding soil.

Approaching, as if there was an agreement, the sound of thunder mixed with the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.

Meng Yunshu leaned in Yu Jinhuai's arms, let him cover her ears, turned her head and mustered up the courage to tiptoe and lightly pressed against his lips, as if someone was discovering his bold actions and was in a hurry Turning his head to talk to Yu Zhining not far away,

Only Yu Jinhuai, who was close, saw his red earlobes dripping with blood, and there was a deep smile in his eyes.

……

After setting off the firecrackers, the three members of the Yu family hurried back to the bedroom and got on the kang, and Yu Jinhuai was the last one to come in.

Meng Yunshu, who was lying on the bed, softly coaxed Yu Zhining, who was still in agitation, to sleep.

After a while, the candles in the bedroom were blown out, and after the rustling sound ended, Meng Yunshu was embraced into his familiar arms again, feeling the familiar breath, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in peace.

-

You can't stay in bed on the first day of the new year. Yu Zhining was woken up early by his little uncle. After getting dressed, he sat on the kang, blinked his sleepy eyes, and suddenly remembered the red envelope that his little aunt said last night, and quickly He crawled to his sleeping position, reached out and touched under his pillow, and sure enough, he found what he wanted.

All the drowsiness and drowsiness disappeared in an instant. Yu Zhining took out his two red envelopes with a big smile on his face, touched them several times happily, and finally remembered to count the copper coins inside, opened it and counted carefully Counting, each red envelope contains ten copper plates.

The little uncle said that it was perfect, so his red envelope probably meant the same thing.

Yu Zhining happily pouted her buttocks and hugged her two red envelopes, then rolled on the kang.

In the end, it was Yu Jinlan who brought Sun Ming to call him, and Yu Zhining was willing to go out.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the children in the village can go to the homes of other people in the village. Usually, no matter how stingy they are, they will put some food on the small table in front of their house on the first day of the new year, waiting for the children in the village to come to the door. , the more children come, the more blessings their family will have in the coming year.

When Yu Zhining went out, he carried the small bag that Meng Yunshu wove for him with wool and slung it across the front. The small satchel was fastened with a buckle, and Yu Zhining could easily unbutton it. He also wove his favorite small fish on the outside. and kittens.

Many children had already gathered outside the Yu family's door. After Yu Zhining came out, they went to another house with the snacks they had harvested from the Yu family.

As the children's noise disappeared, the door of Yu's house became completely quiet.

Meng Yunshu in the kitchen was making dumplings. Hearing the familiar footsteps, she asked without raising her head, "Are they gone?"

Yu Jinhuai responded, then sat down and made dumplings with him, and occasionally turned his head to see his husband, and his heart became more and more happy.

The dumplings were filled with pure lean stuffing, and Meng Yunshu also cut some winter vegetables into them. After a while, ingot-shaped dumplings appeared on the grate one after another.

From time to time, there was the sound of firewood burning in the stove, and it seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

Two wolfdogs, Daqing and Dahei, nestled at the door of the kitchen, their heads resting on their front paws, their ears moving from time to time, and their eyes staring at the dumplings in their hands.

The dogs have good noses, they smell the meat, and they are reluctant to leave.

The big bone soup is boiling on the clay stove, and it is steaming. The mellow big bone smell has drifted along the air for a long time. Fortunately, the smell is coming from every household today, and the big bone smell in their house is not eye-catching. up.

The white and bulging dumplings rolled in the water, and the heat from the pot lid was so hot that people's faces were hot, and their piercing eyes could hardly be opened.

Meng Yunshu added half a bowl of water to the pot before closing the lid.

Wiping his hand on the apron he was wearing, he began to stir up the juice.

Weiping Mansion belongs to the north, and most of them eat dried dumplings, which can be eaten with a large bowl of vinegar sauce. Fortunately, Meng Yunshu is also a northerner in modern times, and when he came to Yu's house, he could eat with them in terms of food.

Chili powder, five-spice powder, salt, and sesame seeds are put together. After the oil on the clay stove is cooked, let it dry for a while before pouring it in. It exudes a strong fragrance in an instant. Meng Yunshu is the favorite to eat the hot pepper that has just been poured out , but this time he is not oily and spicy, but as a dipping sauce for eating dumplings.

Then he picked up the vinegar and poured it in, as well as the aroma and soy sauce he took out from the grocery store.

Stir with a spoon to let them fully mix together, so that the dumpling sauce is ready.

His dipping sauce is ready here, the dumplings in the pot over there are also cooked, and Yu Zhining's voice can be heard outside the door, everything is just right.

On the first day of the new year, the weather was beautiful, so the Yu family's lunch was placed in the yard.

Yu Zhining unloaded his small bag and hung it under the eaves, ran over and obediently washed his hands and sat in front of the table. There were six round dumplings in his small bowl. After the uncle and uncle sat down, Yu Zhining picked up his spoon.

"A'Ning, remember to blow on it before eating." Meng Yunshu scooped up a spoonful of dipping sauce for him, and told him, lest he eat it like the last time he ate sugar buns and burn himself.

Listening to his words, Yu Zhining also remembered his embarrassing incident last time, nodded fiercely, scooped up a dumpling and blew carefully, tried to take a bite, and then took a big bite when he found that it was not hot.

Yu Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite, saw his movements, and couldn't help softening his expression a little.

Thinking of the cuteness of the little baby that was in his arms back then, Yu Jinhuai's heart softened.

Not only Meng Yunshu likes pure and thin dumplings, but Yu Zhining also likes to eat them, so Meng Yunshu makes a lot of them, and the leftover dumplings are fried when they want to eat, and they taste good.

After eating the dumplings and drinking a bowl of bone broth, I was so comfortable that I just wanted to lean on the chair and not move.

The food bowls of Daqing and Dahei are filled with dumplings and noodles, and of course big bone soup and big bone are indispensable.

Meng Yunshu and Yu Jinhuai leaned on the chairs, watching Yu Zhining took his own small bag and put the candy, snacks and snacks he got on the table as if in a formation, and at the end he waved his hand generously to let them pick.

Not long after, Yu Jinyue and Yu Jinping brought Yu Jinlan to pay New Year's greetings, and Yu Jinhuai took out the red envelopes prepared in advance and gave them all.

Holding the red envelope in their hands, Yu Jinyue and Yu Jinping looked at each other in dismay, with embarrassment on their faces.

They are such big men, and they still take money from the second brother. If people find out, they might laugh at them.

Even so, the two of them didn't refuse to accept it, and held it in their arms happily. It was only on the day of the Chinese New Year that they felt that they were children.

With Yu Jinyue, it's impossible to be quiet, but the New Year doesn't just have to be lively.

-

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, they had to go back to their natal family, and the Yu family moved in from their grandfather's generation, so they had almost no relatives who had to go around during the New Year.

The rest of the Yu family sat at Yu Jinhuai's house, watching Yu Zhining act like a young master teaching them, sitting by the clay stove, picking up the roasted sweet potatoes, and peeling off the burnt skin , revealing the sweet and soft flesh inside, the mouth is black when eating.

For the Yu family, Chinese New Year is nothing more than two families getting together to eat and drink.

The day went on until the Lantern Festival.

On this day, everyone got up early, cleaned up everything at home, had lunch, and then staggered to the county in a carriage, wearing new clothes.

Among them, Yu Zhining's new clothes are the most colorful. He is wearing a red down padded jacket sent by Lu Ru'an on the outside, and a red sweater knitted by Meng Yunshu inside. A circle of rabbit fur was sewn around the gloves on his clothes, which looked warm. This time he went to watch the lanterns in the county, and he also carried his small bag on his back.

The sound of his voice was heard all the way. Even though he had been to the county, the scenery on the road was different. Not only Yu Zhining watched with relish, but Yu Jinlan also looked at it with joy.

Near Hua'an County, there are more and more people on the road, most of them are with their families. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Hua'an County will have a lantern festival on this day every year, and fireworks will be set off at the same time. For those who rarely see fireworks For farmers, this day is undoubtedly the happiest day.

Meng Yunshu caressed the wooden hairpin on his head, his eyes were full of smiles, his face was full of happiness and joy, thinking of the morning of the first day of the new year, he was tying his hair with a newly bought headband in his hand He was about to wrap it around his head, but was stopped by Yu Jinhuai. With puzzled eyes, he took out a polished and smooth wooden hairpin from his sleeve, and carved a few bamboo leaves at the end. A bead was chiseled out of it.

If he hadn't found the string on the bead, he wouldn't have believed that Yu Jinhuai had engraved it directly on it.

He remembers very clearly, that day he said: "A Yun, I have nothing else for you, I made a hairpin with my own hands, I hope you like it."

Yu Jinhuai made it himself, how could he not like it.

Even after the hairpin on his head was changed from silver to jade, this wooden hairpin was his favorite one.

When they arrived in the county, after paying the money for entering the city gate and depositing the carriage, the group started to stroll around.

They came early, and many stalls were not set up, but this did not prevent more and more people in the county town.

I found a place with few people and ate Fuyuanzi. After strolling around for a while, the sky gradually darkened. There were lanterns and festoons everywhere in Hua'an County. Various lanterns with strange shapes were hung under the eaves or on the branches to guess lantern riddles. There are too many of them, there are all kinds of juggling, and there are also those who sell flower ropes.

It's all they haven't seen.

Seeing the fire-breathing person, Yu Zhining widened his eyes in shock, and looked at the busker without blinking, extremely curious.

When the time came, fireworks were set off on the open space in the north of the county seat, and the crowd all walked in that direction, including the members of the Yu family.

Fearing that the crowd would disperse them all, they agreed to wait a quarter of an hour to gather at the gate of the city before heading north.

When they got there, there were already a lot of people at the scene. Meng Yunshu only saw the heads of people, but not a single one of the fireworks.

Taking them to watch the fireworks, how could Yu Jinhuai disappoint him, holding Yu Zhining in one hand, and walking towards a place where there are few people, holding his wrist with the other hand.

Meng Yunshu looked at him in bewilderment, and asked wonderingly: "Didn't you want to watch the fireworks? Why did you run so far away?"

"There's more to see over there." When they walked out, the county government had already organized officials to set off fireworks in the open space not far away.

With a sound of "咻", a firework quickly jumped into the sky, and then exploded quickly in the dark blue night sky, scattered magnificently, flashing bright colors.

Hearing the sound, Meng Yunshu looked up, the fleeting fireworks were reflected in his almond eyes, feeling the heat from his wrist, he recovered his senses and hurriedly followed behind Yu Jinhuai.

Behind him are fireworks rising one after another, and people's exclamations, but none of these can compare to the person holding his wrist.

In modern times, he has seen many fireworks, the most important thing is the people who watched fireworks with him and took him to watch them.

After walking for a while, Yu Jinhuai led him onto a bridge, standing on the bridge, watching the fireworks more clearly.

"Look." Following the direction he pointed, a blue firework bloomed in the night sky. At this moment, Meng Yunshu felt that it was the most beautiful he had ever seen.

The fireworks display in the county town will last for half an hour, and the farmers who are far away have to watch it for a while, and after watching the fireworks, they take their families away.

The same is true of the Yu family.

When walking towards the city gate, Meng Yunshu grabbed Yu Jinhuai's sleeve and followed him step by step. As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to look over.

Question: "Brother Huai, how do you know where to see fireworks?"

Yu Jinhuai paused, pretending to be calm and said: "Guess."

Where did he guess, Sun Ming's parents had stayed in the county for a while, and he took the time to ask them where they figured it out.

When he brought Yu Jinhuai there, he was in a panic, for fear that his judgment would be wrong and Ah Yun would not be able to see the fireworks.

Fortunately, his judgment was not wrong, Yu Jinhuai turned his head and sighed silently, hoping that A Yun didn't find out.

Meng Yunshu obviously didn't believe it, and seeing his reddish earlobes inadvertently, she couldn't help being happy, and didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Zhining, who was already sleepy, was dozed off by Yu Jinhuai before the fireworks were over, and now he is sleeping soundly on his shoulder.

Considering that it was too late to watch the fireworks, Yu Zhining would be sleepy if he couldn't hold on, so Meng Yunshu put a small quilt on the carriage, and now it just happened to be used to cover Yu Zhining's body.

-

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is completely over.

In the canteen, Meng Yunshu put his newly picked fruits on the shelf, as well as the sweet potatoes and potatoes just thrown out from the farm, and he still held the newly picked tomatoes and strawberries in his hands.

"Shopkeeper." Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Yunshu turned around and saw that it was Daoist Mingyue and Daoist Qingfeng.

It's just that Daoist Qingfeng lay on Daoist Mingyue's body as if he had no bones, and Daoist Mingyue himself looked calm, which showed that he was used to it.

"Two priests." Meng Yunshu's eyes flickered when he saw this scene for the first time, suppressing the surprise in his heart, and when he noticed the fruits in his arms that their eyes were on, he took out a few and put them on the counter.

"The freshly harvested strawberries and tomatoes taste good, the Taoist should try it."

As soon as he said that, Daoist Qingfeng immediately stretched out his hand and used a magic spell to hook the fruit back, and then performed a cleansing technique. He ate a strawberry first, and then stuffed it into Daoist Mingyue's mouth without paying attention to Meng Yunshu's gaze. one.

Under Meng Yunshu's unbelievable eyes, Taoist Mingyue ate the strawberry he brought to his mouth.

Said to Meng Yunshu with a flat tone: "The Taoist couple is stubborn, please don't take offense."

Taoist! !

Meng Yunshu's gaze sized up the two of them in surprise, his face was full of bewilderment.

Then he remembered the first time he saw the two of them, and he suddenly understood. He felt that the relationship between the two of them was weird before, but he never thought that they would directly become Taoist couples this time.

"Not to blame, not to blame."

It seemed that he had been watching for a long time, Taoist Qingfeng was obviously unhappy, he snorted softly, and stretched out his arms to block Taoist Mingyue from his sight, not only that, but also kissed carelessly, and inadvertently dropped his sleeves, revealing Red marks on the arms.

Daoist Mingyue not only didn't stop him, but hugged his waist tightly.

Seeing this, Meng Yunshu turned his head away in embarrassment, his heart was clearly attacked, and he couldn't tell that Taoist Mingyue was such a person.

"Husband, I want to eat strawberries and tomatoes."

Listening to Qingfeng's soft and weak voice, Meng Yunshu only felt her goosebumps drop all over the floor.

"Buy." Daoist Mingyue said hoarsely.

Meng Yunshu saw it through and sold them something, so he really didn't treat him as an outsider.

Sending them off, Meng Yunshu looked at the plane turntable in front of him, tapped his finger lightly, and the turntable started to move.

Hope is the plane he wants.
