Hard times have room

Chapter 960
After the family finished their New Year's greetings and exchanged pleasantries, the younger ones couldn't stay still and quietly walked out of the kitchen. Pauline followed directly and began to prepare her New Year's gifts.

Wen Hui and Wen Can are both notebooks, brand-new notebooks, it can be regarded as one of her expectations for them!A good memory is worse than a bad pen, which she considers a useful learning method.

As soon as the notice was received last year, Pauline handed over her three-year high school notebooks to the two brothers, agreeing that she would take them back after three years. In addition, she also handed over some of her high school books to them. I took more notes and drew the key points.

She still hopes to see these two brothers, like her, who have been admitted to the university. She knows very well that university is the ladder to heaven, and there is no place more suitable for them than university.

Although Wenhui is older than Baolin, and Wencan is only half a month younger than Baolin, in front of the two brothers, the young and mature Baolin has always played the role of the older sister, which has led to the three of them always being the same. Those who call each other by first name are only occasionally called by the ranking of the three of them.

Although there are often elders who say that the three of them are neither big nor young, but what about them, they have their own set of rules.

Both Wenjun and Baozhu are a package of candy, the wrapping paper is very beautiful, the kind that can shine under the sunlight, she remembers that these two little ones often troubled the third aunt for this matter, if they want to buy it, today she is satisfied them.

This candy was bought when she and her father went to the county town on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. The main purpose of that trip was to buy New Year’s goods, including meat. They brought three bamboo rats there, and finally bought a big basket. , When I came here, I basically brought a lot of money. During the Chinese New Year, bamboo rats are too expensive and very popular.

As for the firecrackers, she also thought about it, and in the end she decided not to. Without him, that thing is really dangerous. If something happens, she will not be able to pass it in her heart. The brothers and sisters are still young, and if they don't respond Sensitive, blowing up your own hands or other children is a very bad thing.

Although Wen Hui and Wen Can felt very embarrassed, they still accepted under Pauline's tactful persuasion.

Wenjun and Baozhu are still young. After saying thank you to my sister, they took the candy and went out happily to show off to their friends. They have been craving this beautiful candy for a long time.

Lunch was to be eaten in the old house, so Pauline and his family didn't go back. After the New Year's greetings, they sat in the old house.

The topic of the women was almost talked about last night, so today, the men are mainly talking about spring plowing, and what to plant next spring on their private land. They are mainly talking about their current thoughts and specific plans for next year. planning.

Pauline didn't stay in the old house. She always felt that listening to the grown-ups would be boring, so she chose to hang around the gate of the old house to see if she could wait for Dongmei to come out. As for going to Dongmei's house, that's fine. Before the New Year, Dongmei came to look for her at home. She went to Dongmei's house once, and the memory was so deep.

The first is the extraordinary enthusiasm, and the second is that Dongmei’s fourth and fifth brothers were all at home at that time, so she felt very embarrassed. During the five or six minutes at Dongmei’s house that time, Pauline felt that she could embarrass herself. Three bedrooms and one living room. Since then, I have made up my mind not to visit other people's homes unless necessary, except of course relatives' homes.

It's a pity that after squatting for more than half an hour, I didn't even see Dongmei's shadow. Baolin gave up without ambition. Maybe it's the first day of the new year, Dongmei doesn't plan to go out!
During the Chinese New Year, all kinds of visits to relatives, Pauline is okay, most of her relatives are in the main village of Shanghe Village, as for my aunt and a few uncles, it is enough for her father to go alone, it has always been like this, It is enough for a family to have a representative, otherwise the whole family will rush over, plus their own family, if there are other guests, it may really be embarrassing that there is no place to stand in the house.

In addition, Wang Jiandang is not a showy person, and he doesn't think it means anything if he takes Baolin out to see his relatives for a while.

Therefore, the general framework for visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year was fixed. Only the three brothers Wang Jianguo, Wang Jiandang, and Wang Jianjun, plus Wen Hui, the eldest grandson, went to these relatives.

As for the two old people in the family, they are the Dinghaishenzhen of the family, and they can't move around easily. When the three brothers are all married and have children, they will all retreat to the second line and sit at home.

In the second day of junior high school, Wang Ying came back with the man and two children. The old lady was very happy and wanted to stay for one night, but there were not enough rooms at home, so Wang Ying and her family of four left in the afternoon. .

Wang Ying didn't go to her second brother's house, that is, Wang Jiandang's house. She still remembers what happened before!

She has the same temperament as the old lady, she is a bit awkward, and if she feels awkward in her heart, the lump will always exist, unless she wants to open it, otherwise, she will really keep twisting it.

In the third year of junior high school, the four members of the Wang family went to the old lady’s natal village. At this time, the mother and uncle are very big, and the people on the side of the married woman have to go back to the uncle’s house first, and the younger generation of the uncle’s family will come to the aunt’s house to pay New Year’s greetings. .

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, only Wang Jianguo, Wang Jianjun, and Wenhui Wencan went to Wang Ying's in-law's house, because they hadn't separated yet, and they lived together with their family!

As for Wang Jiandang, the younger sister Wang Ying didn't even go to see him when she returned to her natal home, so he naturally wouldn't stick to her with a hot face and a cold butt.

The two of them had no relationship at all, and after such a quarrel, they became even more rigid, basically in a state of not communicating with each other.

The New Year's day is still going by very quickly. Before everyone realized it, the time quietly came to the sixth day of the new year. After the sixth day of the first day, this year is almost over.

For the rest of the time, Pauline would read books at home, or go outside to find a place with few people to dig wild vegetables. Now the shepherd's purse and shallots are fresh and tender. They are delicious and must not be missed.

Especially the shallots. Pauline used salt and chili powder to make hot and sour pickled shallots. The stewed fish is simply amazing. Pauline plans to make more and bring some to school when the time comes. This thing will be stored for half a month Shouldn't be a problem.

In addition, Pauline packed chili, sour radish and sour chili at home in one lunch box, without dividing them, and mixed them in one lunch box.

Outside, what I miss the most is the food in my hometown, and there are people, I can’t see this person, so I can always bring food with me!
Baolin is the No.17 train. On the day of Lantern Festival on the 15th, at her house, she had a lively meal with the people in the old house.
