Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 463 Singing the Story of Spring

February 1997, 2, New Year's Eve.

The Lu family is particularly lively today.

Not only the father-in-law and his wife and Uncle Mediterranean came, but also the entire Hu family.

Now Hu Le can enter and leave the Lu family with greater confidence.

I used to call him Second Uncle, and he came without any problems.

Now that I call them parents, I wish I could live in the Lu family.

After this period of conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine, Hu Dagui miraculously relieved his yang.

Not only can I go for a walk, but I can also visit Lu’s house.

Since childhood, Hu Dagui has been like his son and almost grew up in the Lu family.

Now as soon as his health improves, he will run to Lu's house.

Who let Lu Changhua be at home!

When Lao Lu and Mother Lu saw this, they simply asked the Hu family to come to celebrate the New Year, so as to save the Hu family the trouble of starting another fire.

The Han family is next door to the Lu family.

The relationship between the two families was already good, and the Lu family helped Han Ying this time, and Lao Hantou was even more grateful.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu have always felt guilty.

They both always felt that their son had abandoned Han Ying.

Coupled with Han Ying's unhappy life and difficult life, this feeling is even worse.

Fortunately, I helped my daughter this time, which also made Lao Lu and Mother Lu feel relieved.

Han Ying won't be going home this year. The old Han couple are having a boring year, so they might as well invite her and come to Lu's house to spend time.

As for the Wang family?

What else is there to say?

Anyway, the two families have been together these years.

This is also what the son-in-law means.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu originally respected Wang Dejiang very much, and they were even more happy after they became in-laws. The two also became good friends.

Now the Lu family and the Wang family are like a family.

They have long been indistinguishable from each other.

The Lu family's living room was full of people, and boxes of fresh vegetables were stacked against the wall, making the room even more crowded.

But that's it, everyone is smiling.

No one felt crowded or shabby.

This is the feeling of home.

This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was all done by women.

Represented by Mama Lu and Wang Yao.

Wu Yue, Aunt Hu, Aunt Han, and Mother Wang.

These people are enough.

The firewood pile in the Lu family's yard is covered with curtains for holding sticky bean buns.

The curtains made of round sorghum stalks are like round shields, and the sticky bean buns are like rivets growing on them.

The dumplings are already frozen.

Was put into a woven bag.

Five large woven bags were tied and stacked next to the curtain.

Only a few of these curtains belonged to the Lu family, and the rest were brought from the Hu family, the Han family, and the Wang family.

Who would prepare a dozen curtains?Isn't that a waste of money? !
Not only that.

On the pile of firewood, there were other frozen goods piled up.

For example, there are ten woven bags piled up with frozen pears.

There are also five bags of frozen persimmons.

I also prepared three bags of frozen flower red and frozen hawthorn.

As for the roasted seeds and nuts, there are them on the table in the living room.

Stir-fry melon seeds and peanut kernels together to make it even more fragrant!

The melon seeds here refer to sunflower seeds, not pumpkin seeds.

In the past, pumpkin seeds were not popular in the Northeast because they were fed to pigs and no one ate them.

Later, I don’t know how, but it suddenly became popular.

It should have come from the south.

However, Northeastern people don’t like to eat pumpkin seeds because they are oily and make them greasy if eaten too much.

In addition to melon seeds and peanuts, hazelnuts are the most popular local roasted goods in Northeast China.

It's a nut.

Grows on hazelnut trees.

This kind of tree is only as tall as a person and can be found everywhere in Beishan.

Hazelnuts with green-skinned leaves picked in autumn need to be dried in the sun.

Remove this leaf-like skin, and what remains are round, pebble-like hard fruits.

The hazelnuts need to be dried until the hard shell turns brown.

At this point, the hazelnuts are ready to be bagged and stored.

When it's time to celebrate the New Year, put the hazelnuts into a big iron pot and stir-fry them. The aroma will be fragrant.

However, frying hazelnuts is a technical job.

If you are not careful, it will be fried.

The best way is to put a few kilograms of river sand into the iron pot.

Fry with hazelnuts.

This will heat evenly.

This is a local secret that most people don’t know.

Eating hazelnuts is an all-round intellectual development activity for children in Northeast China during the Chinese New Year.

Because the shell of hazelnuts is hard, it is difficult for adults to bite it with their teeth, so children and the elderly have to use tools.

When every household eats hazelnuts, they have to use tools that are rarely used at home throughout the year. It is completely a benchwork job.

For example, hammer, pliers.

As for whether the hammer is padded with wooden boards or bricks, it depends on how comfortable the child is.

Whatever is convenient for you to take, there is always endless creativity.

Some children smash hazelnuts directly on the ice for convenience.

Using pliers is even better.

Children cannot control their strength and often use too much force, crushing the hazelnuts.

The children are still happily picking nuts among the dregs.

It feels like a treasure hunt, so cool!
Except for Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui, the people in the Lu family's living room are all old people. How can they bite the hazelnut? !

Due to the tension of the fitter tools, I had no choice but to reach out to the easy-to-bully melon seeds and peanuts.

Only Nuomi Hule and Sheng Yu were sitting on the small bench with small hammers and pliers competing against Hazel.

Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui are also picky pickers.

Put the hazelnut in your mouth and try to bite it, eat it if you can bite it open, and throw it into a small bowl if you can't bite it open.

The three children took the fruits of their attack from this bowl.

Sometimes, insects will be eaten, which is normal.Speaking of this, I have to mention something.

Back then, an interesting thing happened when Hu Dagui ate hazelnuts.

"Changhua, I ate a bug."

"I'm throwing up!"

"Pooh!"

Hu Dagui spit out the bug.

"Changhua, it's over, it's over!"

"Didn't you spit it out?"

"It was vomited, it was just half of it."

"Wow."

They both vomited together.

"The food is served."

Wu Yue came in with a plate of vegetables.

The old men were busy moving all the roasted seeds and nuts on the table to the kang.

Free up the table.

Dishes from the kitchen were served on the table like water.

Today there are still two tables.

There is one table for men and one table for women.

In previous years, Lu Changzhong and his family would come back.

This year, he is going to his father-in-law’s house to celebrate the New Year.

Old Lu and his wife also understood.

The eldest son works in the city, and my father-in-law’s family is in the city, so it would be outrageous not to go there during the Chinese New Year.

Besides, my wife and children have all gone to the city. It’s so close to my parents’ home. Why don’t I go back?

Although there was a lack of people for today's New Year's Eve dinner, Lao Lu was still very happy.

Why?

He has good friends by his side, including his youngest son and grandchildren, and he is content.

Old Hantou looked at the Lu family reunited and felt envious in his heart.

"Brother Lu, we have been friends for decades."

"How about trying to stay at my place next year?"

"Okay, I'm just worried that your living room is too small to accommodate these people."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Squeeze it, it's hot."

"Haha."

"You should go to my place next year."

Wang Dejiang spoke.

"Family, it's fine, you guys can compete, I can't settle this matter."

"Hey, why don't you take me with you for everything?"

Old Hutou quits.

"Over the years, I have taken advantage. Come to my house next year."

"Old man, let's stop arguing. What's the difference between our family and Lu's family? Our sons and grandsons have been living in Lu's family for a lifetime, and they still care about a New Year's Eve dinner?!"

Aunt Hu laughed and said.

Made everyone in the room laugh.

The Lu family got up and entered the Westinghouse, which is also their rule.

After worshiping the ancestors, they greeted everyone to open the feast.

The TV is showing tonight's news broadcast.

All Chinese people have a very energetic New Year's Eve dinner this year.

In [-], Hong Kong Island is returning to China.

This is a matter that has attracted much attention in the decades since the founding of China.

China is becoming stronger and stronger.

Everyone exchanged cups, summed up last year's gains and losses, and thought about this year's plans.

The old men are all saying that in [-], the team of fishing experts will continue to expand, and the fishing spots in Beishan will also expand.

The eyeballs of each one are red, this is their biggest wish now.

The old ladies talked about the problem of building a poker team.

Ms. Wang suggested that she should find a wife for her elder brother, and ask all the sisters to help him find out.

Wang Yao and Wu Yue covered their mouths and chuckled upon seeing this.

The three children's mouths were full of food, and they were also discussing the development in the kindergarten.

So and so has become his fan brother and sister again.

Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui talked about their work in the next year.

"My body has almost recovered, and I want to go back to work after the year."

Hu Dagui smacked his lips and said.

"You can pull me down, no, absolutely not."

Lu Changhua understands what the real situation is.

Even to recuperate, Hu Dagui will have to take care of him for a year or so.

How many months has it been? !
The body is just turning, but if it happens again, it will be troublesome.

"I'm really fine, you see."

Hu Dagui stretched out his arms and rolled up his sleeves to show off his muscles.

"No, no."

Lu Changhua's head shook like a rattle.

"Let Wu Yue go to work after the new year, and you continue to recuperate. When can I go to work? I'll see how you recuperate."

In the past few months, although Hu Dagui went home to recuperate, his salary was still paid.

It was because of this that Hu Dagui asked to go back to work. If he didn't work, he would get paid in vain. He felt uncomfortable in his heart.

But how could he know what Lu Changhua and his wife were thinking?

As long as you can do well, what does this salary mean? !
The [-] Spring Festival Gala finally came on stage.

This year's program is both familiar and unfamiliar to Lu Changhua.

Whenever a program appears, Lu Changhua feels like he has a sudden realization.

Oops, it turns out this show appeared here!
This kind of surprise is like a child discovering a treasure, and it has a strong impact on Lu Changhua's heart.

When the melody of "Story of Spring" sounded, many people were a little dazed.

To be honest, a certain old man drew a circle on the South China Sea in [-]. Lu Changhua had seen this kind of thing in a book in his previous life.

Many ordinary people don't pay attention to this.

But Lu Changhua knew the background of this song and what she was singing.

The person that the Chinese people are most grateful to right now is him.

Without him, there would be no reform and opening up in China, and the lives of ordinary people would not be so easy.

Now every household is well fed and clothed, and everyone knows it is his fault.

And the fact that he can lie down here like an uncle was given by his old man, wasn't it? !
