Chapter 32 The Mu family’s banquet (please recommend)
As the saying goes, "After the Laba Festival, it's the New Year." For many rural people, the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the most important festival of the year.Those who usually work in towns or cities will rush home one after another two days before the Spring Festival to reunite.

At this time, Xinmintun is undoubtedly the most crowded time of the year.Only Mu Shanhe was accompanied by his grandfather during the Spring Festival last year, but now he is alone.But he was used to Spring Festival like this after too many experiences in his previous life.

"Spring Festival should be celebrated as a family or alone, as long as you don't feel lonely!"

After comforting himself, Mu Shanhe started to get busy after returning from the market.If it were other people in the village, they would have cleaned the house inside and out long ago.But for Mu Shanhe, who has just returned to his hometown, he still has a lot of work to do!

The chicken coops and dog sheds that were not tidied up earlier need to be tidied up now.The snow that has not been cleared in the yard also needs to be cleared away.Even after cleaning, it will still rain, but you still have to clean up what should be cleaned.

Just as night was approaching, Mu Shanhe, who was clearing the snow in his yard, soon saw a young man running towards his house.When he saw Mu Shanhe, he also smiled and said, "Brother Shan Zi, you are at home!"

"Yun Chao, is something wrong?"

"My master said that you should come to my house for dinner at night. A few days ago, you were not even at home when my family was killing pigs!"

After hearing this, Mu Shanhe thought for a while and said, "Dad is back?"

"Back! My mother and my third uncle and three aunt are back. Only my second uncle has to be on duty. I'm afraid he won't come back until New Year's Eve. Brother Shanzi, I heard from my father that you went to the mountains to guard ginseng? Alone. , Aren’t you afraid?”

"What are you afraid of? With Daqing and guns, you won't be afraid even if Xiong Zhen comes. What about you? You are in the third grade of junior high school. How are your grades?"

The boy who ran to his house calling for dinner was Mu Yunchao, the eldest grandson of the village chief Mu Xingfu, who was one year younger than Mu Shanhe.Earlier, the two were also studying in the middle school in the town.The difference is that the other party is one level below me and is only in the third grade of junior high school this year.

Faced with the inquiry, Mu Yunchao blushed a little and said, "Hey, can you not mention your grades? Your grades are not that good either!"

From the words the other party couldn't help but reply, it was not difficult to tell that this was also a scumbag.The difference is that as long as the other party completes the third year of junior high school, he may have the opportunity to work as a temporary worker in a forest farm.When you become an adult, you may be able to become a regular employee.

The reason is simple. He has a father who is the financial manager of a forest farm.In this day and age, it is very common for sons to inherit their father's business.This is why many people hope that someone in their family will have an iron rice bowl.

After chatting for a while, Mu Yunchao didn't stay long.Mu Shanhe couldn't refuse the village chief's invitation.In any case, the old village chief is also a neighbor in the village, and he sincerely treats him as one of his own family members.

Killing a pig for a meal is also a custom in the countryside.Even though Mu Xingfu rarely goes out in the mountains or goes out now, in his early years he had a high prestige in the village.In addition, he has raised three sons with iron rice bowls, and no one in the village dares to provoke him.

After feeding Daqing some food in advance, telling him to take good care of the house, and turning on the lights in the yard in advance, Mu Shanhe carried two bottles of wine and some gifts, and went to the yard where Mu Xingfu lived.

Compared with his own yard, Mu's yard is obviously more spacious.Although the three sons have all settled down in the town.But every Spring Festival, they would go back to their villages to spend the New Year with their parents as a show of filial piety.

What surprised Mu Shanhe was that Mu Yunchao's father Mu Youcheng, who usually treated him with a very ordinary attitude, seemed particularly enthusiastic this time.As soon as he entered the yard, he smiled and said: "Shanzi, come here for a quick meal, what are you doing with these?"

"This is all for the old man. It would be rude to come here empty-handed! Uncle Cheng, when did you come back?"

"I'll be back on the 25th! The forest farm has an early holiday this year, so I came back early, just in time to kill the New Year pig. It turns out that before, I wanted Yun Chao to go to the mountains and call you back for dinner. Looking beyond Yunling, here The boy may not know him."

"It's okay! I'm staying in the mountains, and my life is actually pretty good. Uncle Da is back too?"

"He's back! He came back earlier than me, so Erwang still has to be on duty. I'm afraid he won't be back for dinner until New Year's Eve."

"He is a police officer, and there are a lot of things at this time. After all, they need to protect the lights of thousands of families!"

After opening the curtain to keep out the wind and keep warm, Mu Shanhe finally walked into the warm Mu family living room under the guidance of Mu Youcheng.Seeing Mu Shanhe entering the door and Mu Xingfu holding his little grandson, he stood up in time and said: "Xiao Shanzi, here we come!" "Grandpa Mu, is this Uncle Da's son?"

"Well! Xiaoqi, this is Brother Shanzi."

I originally wanted to teach my grandson how to recognize people, but the little guy looked at Mu Shanhe and was still a little shy.Fortunately, Mu Shanhe also knows that it is really difficult for a little guy who is less than three years old to call someone he doesn't know brother.

Then he pretended to be taking something out of his pocket, took out two White Rabbit toffees, squatted in front of the little guy and said, "Are you Xiaoqi? Then do you know who I am? Do you want to eat these toffees?"

"miss you!"

"Then who am I?"

The little guy glanced at his grandfather, and under his guidance, he finally said with a smile: "You are Brother Shanzi!"

"Well, you're so good and smart. I'll reward you with two toffees, okay?"

"Okay, thank you brother!"

Hearing the milky voice and calling him brother, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "Uncle Da, it seems that you and Auntie have taught you well. Although the little guy is not big, he is very polite!"

"Yes! You haven't seen how skinny he is. Your aunt and I both have a headache!"

Mu Youda, who was helping with the work earlier, is the driver of the county supply and marketing cooperative.In this day and age, this is a very popular and lucrative career.As the saying goes, "Once the steering wheel turns, even the county magistrate won't change it." This shows how popular the driver is.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to chat, Mu Shanhe took out a handful of toffees from his pocket and gave them to other Mu family children who were older but also wanted to eat candies.Even to the older Mu Yunchao, he gave a few directly.

After sitting down, Mu Shanhe said with some surprise: "Grandpa Mu, am I the only one tonight?"

"What's wrong? Are you afraid they'll make you drink? Don't worry, they won't dare. Besides, you don't drink either."

"But I think this is a bit unbearable!"

"What are you afraid of? Your grandpa and I are not real brothers, but we are better than real brothers. It's just you who are stubborn, otherwise I would have accepted you as my grandson. In that case, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to move to my house in the future? Closer?"

"Better don't! If this really happens, Yun Chao might blame me and take away his position as Mu's eldest grandson!"

After replying with a smile, the wives of the Mu family who were responsible for cooking also began to serve steaming meals.The difference is that there are only Mu Shanhe and Mu's father and son in the master bedroom, while the others are eating in the next room.

Eating on the Kang is one of the characteristics of Northeast China.In fact, in such a cold weather, if you don't eat on the kang and serve steaming dishes on the table, you may freeze into ice lumps after a while.

Mu Shanhe also felt quite delicious eating the authentic pig-killing vegetables.But after eating for a while, when he saw Mu Xingfu hesitated to speak, he said directly: "Grandpa Mu, you treat me as your grandson. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Through Mu Youcheng's warm reception before, and Mu Xingfu always showing embarrassment.How could Mu Shanhe, a man of two generations, not know about this meal? There might be reasons that he didn't know about.

But for a while, Mu Shanhe really couldn't think of it, could the Mu family still want something from him?Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!

I don’t know why, but it would naturally require Mr. Mu to break the window paper.For Mu Shanhe, if there is anything he can do to help, he will definitely help.If he really can't help, then Mr. Mu can't blame him, right?
