Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 252 Happy New Year
Eating with the soldiers is different. I saw that they were straightforward in drinking wine. When they got excited, they sang some military songs. They didn't eat much food, and all the drinks were almost the same.

After eating, they were drunk, Yi Weidong and Geng Lecheng, who was blushing and thick-necked from drinking, said, "Brother Lecheng, take a rest and I'll go back."

Geng Lecheng hiccupped and said, "Why don't you rest here for the night?"

"No need, I have a motorized three-wheeler and I'll be home soon." Yi Weidong said.

Geng Lecheng wobbled and wanted to stand up, but Yi Weidong pushed him back down,

He could only say: "Okay then, I won't keep you anymore, we will contact you again in the first month."

Yi Weidong and the still sober Wang Zhiguo said, "Brother Zhiguo, I'm leaving first."

"Weidong, go slowly, I won't see you off."

Yi Weidong backed the car out of the yard by himself, closed the gate again, and then drove home in the tricycle.

Before, I didn't think that the Spring Festival would come so soon. Since I got together with the four of us, the Spring Festival talk room is coming, and the festive atmosphere is also showing in the capital. The shops facing the street are decorated with decorations, and there are long queues everywhere.

The meat tickets and supplementary tickets that had been accumulated for several months were all taken out, and some fat meat was refined to make lard, and new clothes were pulled for the children. Both adults and children showed happy smiles.

The streets and alleys are full of carefree and happy children and teenagers playing.

The more difficult the period, the greater the addiction to Chinese New Year, and the customs that have been passed down from generation to generation are still obsessed with:

"Children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the new year.

Laba porridge, in a few days, mili la la 23.

23, sticky melons; 24, cleaning day;

25, fried tofu; 26, stewed lamb;
27, kill the rooster; 28, hair the face;

29. Steam steamed buns; stay up all night at thirty;
Going to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year: Your new year, you are very polite; I will not touch you with one hand, and I will say a happy greeting to your parents when you get home!"

This song has been sung until eating dumplings on the first day of the new year, family reunion, and celebrations all over the world.

There are many people singing this song in the streets and lanes, Yi Weidong listened to it fresh, and asked Yan Jiedi to teach him.

As the nursery rhyme says, after the 23rd, every household is preparing for the festival. Yi Weidong bought a lot of food and drink before, but he didn't expect that he still lacked a lot of things.

Buying glutinous rice noodles, I want fried rice cakes, red carrots, fried bean paste, cowpeas, small beans, kidney beans, green beans, soybeans, mung beans, hairtail fish, and yellow croaker.
I didn't buy much of everything, but there were too many types. The uncle and the mother were busy and happy.

This day is the 24th Xiaonian. Yi Weidong came back early in the afternoon and wanted to make dumplings together for the new year. He entered the old man’s house. The old man and the big mother, as well as He Yushui and Lou Xiao’e’s sister-in-law, had already made a lot of dumplings. up.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I also said that I would come back earlier to make dumplings?"

The first mother smiled and said: "Your sister and Ezi will help you with the bag, so you can rest on the sidelines, you must go to work at a young age, look at Si Ni, those children of Jie Kuang are going crazy in the compound every day , have fun."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Auntie, going to work also has its benefits. I don't have to do the work myself in the factory, I just need to watch them assemble it."

Yi Weidong only needs to read the newspaper on the side, pay attention to the progress of the assembly, and coordinate the work, which is the easiest job.

The old man rolled out the dumpling wrapper and said, "I have to keep working on my job. Weidong is really free, and many people are greedy."

"Really? Weidong." Lou Xiaoe asked.

Yi Weidong nodded and said, "Yes, my job is very leisurely, I just read the newspaper every day."

Lou Xiaoe said: "I still want to talk to Uncle Yang during the Chinese New Year to see if he can give you an indicator of a cadre! Now that you work so leisurely, do you still want to be a cadre?"

The Uncle Yang that Lou Xiaoe spoke of was the director Yang of the rolling mill. Director Lou is still the director of the management of the rolling mill.

Yi Weidong thought that the era of turmoil was about to come, and it was not a good thing to be a cadre, so let's forget it, since he will have opportunities to be promoted when he is young.

Yi Weidong said: "Sister Xiao'e, I am too young to be a cadre, let's talk about it later."

Lou Xiao'e wanted to persuade him again, but He Yushui said, "Weidong is working pretty well now, sister-in-law, don't worry about it, we'll talk about it when Weidong becomes an adult."

In fact, everyone in the family can see that Yi Weidong is different from others. Yi Weidong has a way to get food and drink, and even made three liberation cars for the first time, and also contributed to the production of bicycles. , already has his own contacts in the rolling mill.

He has achieved such results in just a few months after entering the factory. He doesn't look like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. Many adults are not as good as Yi Weidong in the factory.

The uncle said, "Ezi, you don't have to worry about Weidong, he's definitely living a better life than most people."

Lou Xiao'e said: "That's fine, let me know when you need it."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Yi Weidong said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e has long been used to it, and besides, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's marriage certificate has already been issued from the rolling mill, and the certificate is just to find a good day.

However, Lou Xiao'e still gave Yi Weidong a glare, unable to hit him, with dumplings still wrapped in his hand.

The aunt said: "Today there are a lot of wraps, you take the outside and freeze it, then put it away later, and save it for later eating."

After Yi Weidong agreed, he took the lid of the pot covered with dumplings outside and placed it directly on an abandoned wooden table.

As long as the dumplings are frozen hard, they can be collected together, but there are often sparrows outside, so Yi Weidong needs to watch for a while.

Within 2 minutes, Huaihua came in from the outside, saw Yi Weidong standing in front of the door and asked with a smile:
"Uncle Weidong, why are you standing outside, isn't it cold?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Sophia japonica, you're playing crazy again, what about my frozen dumplings!"

Seeing that Sophora japonica was still dressed in small pawn old clothes, and it was still a little big, she asked:
"Hua Hua, why are you still wearing old clothes? Are you reluctant to wear new clothes?"

Xiao Huaihua pouted and said: "My mother saved all the money for my brother, and there will be no new clothes to wear this year."

Yi Weidong thought that Qin Huairu would make new clothes for Xiaodang and Huaihua. He already knew that Qin Huairu's salary had been raised to 32 yuan. The family also lacked the expenses of Mrs. Zhang, so there should be no shortage of money. , I didn't expect that I still didn't make clothes for Xiaohuaihua.

Yi Weidong asked: "Hua Hua, does your sister have any new clothes?"

"My sister doesn't have any new clothes either." Huaihua seemed hesitant to speak after she finished speaking.

Yi Weidong asked: "Huahuahua, what's the matter, is there anything you're too embarrassed to say?"

Sophora japonica always speaks up when she has something to say, and she has never seen such an embarrassing appearance of Sophora japonica.

Huaihua said shyly, "Uncle Weidong, can you buy a new suit for Huaihua?"

Yi Weidong was very surprised, and asked, "Huahuahua, who taught you how to say it?"

Huaihua lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Mum and sister both said that, Uncle Weidong, will you buy new clothes for Huaihua?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Don't worry, what about your sister?"

Sophora is still young, and some words are not clear, so let's ask Xiaodang first to see what's going on, most likely Qin Huairu wants to use the money on Xiaodang and Sophora in a different way!

"My sister is over there!"

Huaihua turned around and shouted towards the Moon Gate, "Sister, come out."

Xiao Dang leaned out from the moon gate, seeing Yi Weidong and Huaihua looking at him, he moved to him reluctantly, and shouted, "Uncle Weidong."

Yi Weidong pinched the dumplings, and they were already frozen. He carried the lid of the pot and walked to the kitchen, saying:

"Let's talk in the house, it's cold outside."

Yi Weidong went into the kitchen and put all the frozen dumplings into a cloth bag, and then asked Sophora to give the pot lid to Da Ma.Yi Weidong sat by the chopping board, looked at Xiaodang and said, "Come on Xiaodang, sit down and tell me what's going on?"

Xiao Dang sat timidly in front of Yi Weidong and said:
"Uncle Weidong, it's like this. Yesterday Huaihua asked my mother when she would make clothes for us. My mother said that all the money in the family was spent on buying things for my brother, and there was no money to buy clothes."

Yi Weidong knew about Qin Huairu sending sticks to the juvenile prison, but it might not be so if the money was spent. Qin Huairu also had a lot of money, so how could it be possible to spend it all.

Yi Weidong asked: "Then how did your mother ask me to buy clothes for you?"

"I don't know why! Huaihua pestered my mother to ask for new clothes, saying that other children had new clothes, but Huaihua didn't have them, and then my mother just said it."

Xiao Dang looked up at Yi Weidong, then lowered his head and said courageously: "My mother said that as long as I ask you for new clothes, you will buy us new clothes."

Yi Weidong didn't expect Qin Huairu to take money from Yi Weidong under the pretext of buying clothes. This Qin Huairu really tried to deduct the more than 200 yuan from Yi Weidong in a different way!

This is really a gentleman's way of bullying, if Yi Weidong doesn't know, it's fine, this Huaihua and Xiaodang have come to ask for new clothes, Yi Weidong really can't do something to refuse directly.

Yi Weidong himself is not short of money, and the money he cheated Mrs. Zhang was just incidentally. Before Guan Xiaodang and Sophora japonica had dinner, he couldn't count the money too!

Yi Weidong just paid the tuition fees for the next semester for the two children, and did not spend any money on the others.

What's more, Yi Weidong didn't intend to use the money he got from Xu Damao's house on himself. Yi Weidong had a golden finger of supernatural powers and space, so he drew a red line for himself. No matter how bad it is, it's a personal matter. Yi Weidong has no right to punish him. He stole Xu Damao's money just to give Xu Damao the illusion that a thief came in to steal the money. He wanted to donate the money before!

Now that Xu Damao and Qin Huairu are married, the money will be spent on Xiaodang and Huaihua in the future. Who will let Xu Damao have no children of his own!

Looking at Xiao Dang's expectant eyes, Yi Weidong smiled and said teasingly: "Oh, what a coincidence, I have spent all my money, and I have no money to buy you new clothes!"

Xiao Dang was immediately disappointed, and pretended to smile, but the smile was uglier than crying, and said: "It's okay, Uncle Wei Dong, Xiao Dang doesn't want new clothes, it's not easy for uncle to make money, Xiao Dang still has old clothes Put on."

When it came to the end, tears were about to fall, but I just tried to hold back the tears in my eyes.

Yi Weidong didn't expect a new dress to be so important to Xiaodang and Huaihua, it seems that he was a little too funny.

Yi Weidong quickly comforted him: "Xiao Dang, don't cry, uncle is playing with you, tomorrow uncle will take you to tear cloth and make clothes, okay?"

Xiao Dang's tears finally fell, and he cried softly, "Uncle Wei Dong, your salary is not enough, Xiao Dang doesn't want new clothes."

Yi Weidong took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the tears from Xiaodang's face, coaxing him, "Xiaodang is the most obedient, let's not cry, uncle is teasing you! Uncle has money and can buy you new clothes."

"Really? Uncle, don't lie to me again."

"Uncle won't lie to you, I will take you to make clothes tomorrow."

Xiao Dang held back his tears and stayed still, asking Yi Weidong to wipe away his tears. Finally, he took Yi Weidong's handkerchief and said embarrassedly: "I will wash it for uncle tomorrow before I give it to you."

"No need, let you use it."

At that time, the toilet paper was very rough, and everyone used to carry a handkerchief with them. Although Yi Weidong made a lot of toilet paper samples from his previous life, he could only use them secretly, and could not give them to others.

The handkerchief Yi Weidong used space to copy a lot, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less, just give it to Xiaodang.

Xiao Dang stuffed the handkerchief stained with his own tears into his pocket, and said, "Uncle Wei Dong is so bad, he even lied to others."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Who told you that your golden beans are worthless? Before I say a word, you will lose your golden beans."

Smiling and blushing, he raised his small fist and hit Yi Weidong on the chest twice, and said, "It's you who are bad, it's you, hum, I'll ignore you."

After speaking, he stuck out his little tongue, made a face at Yi Weidong, turned around and bounced out of the kitchen.

Yi Weidong followed out of the kitchen, Xiao Dang was already walking home with Sophora japonica chattering in his ear, Sophora japonica turned around and smiled at Yi Weidong: "Thank you, Uncle Weidong."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Come find me tomorrow."

At this time, He Yushui came out from the house with dumplings and asked, "Weidong, are you going to take Sophora japonica to play tomorrow?"

Yi Weidong said: "No, I'll take Xiaodang and Huaihua to make new clothes."

"Make clothes? Sister Qin didn't make clothes for them?"

"Yes, Sister Qin asked them both to ask me to do it."

"Sister Qin is too outrageous, it's fine if I don't make it myself, how can I ask you to make new clothes!"

He Yushui suddenly remembered Yi Weidong cheating Mrs. Zhang's money, and changed her voice: "Then you should make new clothes for the two of them tomorrow. We can't take the money from Mrs. Zhang."

Yi Weidong said, "That's right, so I'll ask the two of them to come to me tomorrow, and I'll take them to make clothes."

Yi Weidong saw that He Yushui came out without a coat, but in a padded jacket, and said, "Sister, you go inside, I'll wait, it's cold outside."

He Yushui also felt a little cold, and said, "Then just wait, I'm going in."

Yi Weidong waited for the dumplings to freeze before putting them in the cloth bag, and then returned to the wing room, where He Yushui was talking about Sophora japonica and Xiaodang asking for new clothes.

The aunt saw Yi Weidong coming in and said, "Weidong, aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

Yi Weidong said: "Tomorrow I will take them to pick out the money and then I will go to work."

Lou Xiaoe said: "Weidong, I have a piece of fabric that is very suitable, why don't I take them to make clothes tomorrow."

Lou Xiao'e didn't know the inside story of this, but seeing that the old man didn't object to Yi Weidong making clothes for Xiaodang and Huaihua Rabu, as a sister-in-law, she had to show herself, and she couldn't lose the reputation of being a button searcher. Things must be actively done, otherwise the relationship will not be good.

He Yushui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the money Yi Weidong should spend, so you don't need to pad the cloth for him."

Lou Xiaoe asked, "Yu Shui, what do you mean by that?"
