Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 680, another year

Time flies so fast, and the New Year's day is here in a blink of an eye. The Spring Festival couplets written by Yan Bugui, the third uncle, naturally did not fall behind. However, the Spring Festival couplets he wrote for Jiang Yan were brought over a few days in advance, and he also brought his own glue to paste them on Jiang Yan. For a moment.

There was no need to guess what the third uncle was thinking. Jiang Yan also generously gave him some candies, a piece of chocolate and some fried meatballs. These things made the third uncle a little bit ecstatic. There was nothing he could do about it, his service was quite good. Good. More or less is not the case.

But when the third uncle left, he was reluctant to leave, and when he was about to go out, he sniffed hard. So fragrant.

Although the country's difficult time has passed, the food is still rationed, but the unit will distribute some New Year's goods every year. Just looking at the New Year's goods can tell the quality of each factory and unit.

The newly established Xingfu Kitchenware Factory is estimated to have the most abundant New Year goods this year. The good guy has two kilograms of meat, two kilograms of hairtail, and five kilograms of flour per person. This is the first of all the factories in Sijiu City. The steel rolling factory is Without their generosity, they would only have distributed one pound of meat and three pounds of flour. This was all thanks to the cooperation with Jiang Yan and his research institute, otherwise so much would not have been distributed.

And the reason why there is so much meat is also due to the agricultural experts in Jiang Yan's farm. The local pigs they are currently studying can have at least three hundred kilograms of meat each during the eight-month growth period. Although It's a little worse than the white-striped pigs introduced in later generations, but the difference is no longer obvious. What's more important is that the meat quality of local pigs is much more delicious than that of white-striped pigs. So after it was reported, it was vigorously promoted by the country. Otherwise, it would be on the market this year. There won’t be so much meat, and every household’s non-staple food list will have half a catty more meat this year.

Yan Jiefang, this person is relatively transparent, so when the research institute selected workers to go to Xingfu Kitchenware Factory, this guy signed up directly. His level was not low, he also had a team leader mixed in, and he brought back so many things. , this year he felt very proud at home.

Having enough to eat and clothing, and being poor only if you fail to calculate, are the principles of life of the third uncle Yan Bugui after all.

Moreover, fairness and justice are engraved in the bones of the third uncle's family. There is a saying for eating more and eating less. However, no matter how Yan Jiefang calculates, he can never calculate it with the two abacus of his family, so this year it is a loss for him. It was decided, but he also said that next year the price would have to be calculated.

Hairtail is still delicious fried, but the third uncle's family is obviously reluctant to part with it because it consumes too much oil. The third aunt doesn't have the skills of He Yuzhu and others. There is no such thing as wasting food in their family. Although it is a bit fishy, ​​after all, it is still meat, and it is still meat. Everyone has a taste for seafood.

But this year Zhao Jing is also eye-opening. Although this year's meals are much richer than last year, they are still calculated based on head count, and the same goes for dumplings. The third uncle and his wife personally made these dumplings, and each one is the same size. No more than twenty dumplings per person. In previous years, a maximum of ten dumplings per person would be served.

On the night of New Year's Eve, all families try their best to cook as sumptuously as possible. After all, it's not easy for anyone after a year.

But everyone in the courtyard knew that Jiang Yan and his family were still doing the best. Jiang Yan, who came back from the research institute, entered the room and saw what a good guy he was. Xu Damao was making nonsense there again. The atmosphere was very lively. Several women were holding their children and chatting around the old lady. They kept eating. Carrying things, what surprised Jiang Yan the most was that two more people came to Jiang Yan's house this year. Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang also came to Jiang Yan's house.

There are 19 people celebrating the New Year today, five from Jiang Yan's family, five from He's family, three from Xu Damao's family, Liuzi and Shitou are also three. This year, there are two tables in total, one for men and one for women and children.

When it was served on the table, oh, chicken, duck, fish, goose, pig, beef and sheep were all available, and the quantity was sufficient. Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang looked a little dumbfounded, and they all felt that they had come to the right time this time. Grandma, as the oldest and highest-ranking person in the family, The old man said: "It's a new year. I wish you all a happy new year, good health, family reunion, and all the best!"

"Okay! Let's borrow my grandma's good wishes and wish her good health and longevity." Jiang Yan joined in time. At this time, the old lady said: "Don't be polite, everyone, hurry up and start eating."

After eating for a while, Xu Damao had already begun to show his strength, and he and Jiang Yan and the others were drinking together. This made Jiang Yan a little surprised. What happened to Xu Damao, the little Karami, to be so fierce today.

After drinking for a while, Jiang Yan came to another table and took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave them to several little guys. People who also prepared red envelopes also handed them over one after another. He Yuyu was still quite colorful. He pulled Yu Haitang and Qin Jingru to give them The old lady kowtowed, making the old lady smile.

Everyone ate the meal happily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

On the other side, nine members of the Yi family and the Jia family were crowded together at the same table. BangGeng couldn't get enough of her grandmother, who was complaining that she didn't have enough to eat. The same was true for Jia and Zhang, who was talking about love and affection. My own grandson, but he is not slow at all. The most important thing is that the sound of eating is like a pig eating.

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang like this, the aunt's face darkened. If she hadn't grabbed it quickly, her two children probably wouldn't have been able to eat much.

He didn't know what his husband was thinking. He had to invite a group of people from the Jia family to eat. Brother Liu Zhao was not bad. He brought a pound of meat and a cabbage with him when he came. He also worked with himself while cooking. This Jia Zhang family is so good. She sits there like an uncle and feels like she is serving her, an old pious woman. The key is to compete with the children for sweets and snacks, which is a bit boring to watch.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this situation, he shook his head repeatedly. His family's New Year's Eve dinner broke up after a short time. There was nothing he could do about it. The Jia family ate too much. When Jia and Zhang left, they kept complaining. The old man listened. Yi Zhonghai's face turned dark.

The laughter and smell of the Wang family's food were still filling the courtyard, and Mrs. Jia Zhang was jealous, but she did not dare to go to Jiang Yan's house to cause trouble. After a few curses in her heart, she followed her daughter-in-law back home.

Soon Jiang Yan's house also dispersed. Everyone returned home and opened the red envelope given by Jiang Yan. It was ten yuan. After seeing the money inside, He Yuyu and the others who got the red envelope laughed like little foxes stealing chickens. Same.

Yu Haitang did not go home that night, but stayed with everyone at Jiang Yan's house. When he got sleepy, he prepared to sleep with He Yuyu. They were best friends and classmates, but Qin Jingru also joined in the middle. Where were the three of them? The rainy house was in chaos.

When Xu Damao got drunk, he was helped home by He Yuzhu to rest. Little Karimi was little Karimi, and that was all. I thought he had increased his drinking capacity! The co-authorship was Sanbanaxe, and I despised Xu Damao in my heart.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the neighbors each paid New Year's greetings. Naturally, Jiang Yan's little brothers also came to pay Jiang Yan New Year's greetings. This day was quite lively with people coming and going.

On the second day of the second grade of junior high school, they each went to their mother-in-law's house. Unsurprisingly, Jiang Yan once again knocked down his future father-in-law Liu Xufeng this year, which made Jiang Sirui complain for a while.
