Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

New Year's Eve. Li Family!

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark. Everyone who had been making dumplings all afternoon immediately gathered their bowls and chopsticks. The New Year's Eve dinner was about to begin.

When the familiar voice of the news broadcast sounded, the entire Li family gathered around the big kang, while mother, Jiang Xue, Zhang Feng, and Yang Miao began to serve the food.

The New Year's Eve dinner at Lao Li's house was particularly sumptuous. It included not only beef, mutton and stewed ribs, but also unusual local sea fish, crabs, lobsters, etc. These rare things were all brought back by Li Yi from the capital.

There is fish and meat here, and naturally there are also drinks.

The men had Maotai in front of them, while the women and children had soft drinks.

Before all the dishes were put on the table, the little ones couldn't hold it any longer and were eager to try.

When Li Shankui saw this, he immediately tore off two chicken legs and one chicken wing and handed them to his three grandchildren.

Seeing the three children chewing their mouths full of oil and looking happy, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

After the last dish was placed on the Kang table, Li Yi said with a smile: "Dad, the New Year's Eve dinner is about to start. Please say a few words!"

Li Shankui himself is not good at words. When encountering this kind of thing, he usually would not accept such remarks.

But today was different. He looked at the room full of people, then grinned and said, "Then I'll say a few words!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes focused on Li Shankui.

Then I heard Li Shankui say in a strong local accent: "Today is the New Year's Eve, and I am very happy. I am glad that Xiaoyi, Xiaoxue and Meizi can go home to celebrate the New Year. I am also glad that the children are all safe and not sick." disaster."

"Besides, I'm very happy that Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou can come to my house to celebrate the New Year. I'm stupid and can't speak those wheelbarrow words. You just treat this place as your own home. You must eat and drink well."

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause suddenly erupted in the room, startling the little guys who were chewing meat.

After coming back to their senses and seeing the adults applauding, they all happily waved their little paws and imitated the adults in clapping.

When everyone saw this, they were all amused by the cute looks of the children!
After talking and laughing, Li Yi said to his mother: "Mom, you can also say a few words!"

Zhang Yuehong smiled and said, "Your father has already said it, so I won't say it anymore."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xue said, "Mom, just say a few words. After that, we can start dinner!"

Seeing that both his son and daughter-in-law had spoken, Zhang Yuehong nodded immediately and said, "I don't have anything to say. I don't want you to be rich, but I just hope you can be safe."

Then Zhang Yuehong looked at Li Mei who had a big belly, and then said again: "Xiaoyi and Xiaoxue have nothing to worry about. I just hope that Meizi can give birth smoothly, and that Xiaolan and Xuefeng can have another baby."

Li Yi could hear the concern for their four siblings in his mother's words, and his heart felt warm!

After his mother finished speaking, Li Yi took over and said, "Let me say a few words. This New Year's Eve this year is very special. Not only did the eldest sister and little Ruirui come back to celebrate the New Year with us, but also Qiangzi and Awen. It adds a lot of popularity and joy to the home.”

"At this special moment, I wish every family member good health and happiness. I also wish Qiangzi and Awen good luck in your work and all the best!"

"clap clap"

There was a burst of warm applause, and Lao Li's New Year's Eve dinner officially started.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the much-anticipated Spring Festival Gala began. Then the whole family ate New Year's Eve dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala. When they saw the exciting parts, they burst into laughter from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Such a happy New Year scene that makes people feel warm and happy can only be seen in these years.

With the development of science and technology and changes in people's lifestyles, although various conditions have become more advantageous, the flavor of the New Year has become weaker and weaker. The joy of the New Year can only be found in memories.
At nine o'clock, the New Year's Eve dinner was almost done, and the adults' eyes shifted from the food and wine glasses to the TV.

Compared to the adults watching the laughter and laughter of the Spring Festival Gala, the children were obviously more interested in the crackling fireworks outside.

Especially when the children's laughter came from outside, Yun Rui, Yun Jin and Xiao Ruirui on the kang couldn't sit still and clamored to go out to play.

Jiang Xue couldn't bear to part with the Spring Festival Gala, so she tried her best to appease the children, but the little ones didn't buy it at all.

When Li Yi saw this, in order not to disturb the interests of his parents, Jiang Xue and others, and not want to wrong the children, he immediately decided to take the children out for a walk.

At that moment, he put new clothes on the children, then called Zhang Ziqiang and Xiao Wu, and took the children to the yard.

It was a bit cold outside, but it didn't affect the children's enthusiasm.

As soon as they came to the yard, the little guys started having fun and were very happy.

At this moment, a group of little children ran past on the street outside. They were holding lanterns and playing and playing.

When the little kids at home saw this, they all ran out on their short legs.

When Li Yi and others saw this, they immediately followed him out.

When a few people walked to the street outside, they saw a dozen little dolls playing together. It could be seen from the occasional sound of firecrackers that these little dolls were setting off firecrackers.

Looking at these little dolls, Li Yi couldn't help but think of a sentence, "Wear new clothes, wear new hats, and run around the streets with lanterns." Isn't it exactly these children he is talking about!
He could even imagine that these children carried small scattered firecrackers in their pockets, all of which were removed from the whole hanging firecrackers, and they were even removed secretly without telling the adults at home.
This is definitely the childhood memory of children in the 1970s and 1980s, and it is also their simplest happiness.

Seeing these children playing, my two cubs and Little Ruirui were also very excited, with expressions of eagerness to try.

Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly said: "Yun Rui, Yun Jin, can dad take you to see the sheep?"

He really didn't want the little ones at home to play with those dolls. On the one hand, Yun Rui and Yun Jin were still too young to play with the older children, and they were not willing to take them with them. Damn boy.

On the other hand, setting off firecrackers is dangerous after all, and they don't understand anything, so Li Yi is worried.

"No, we just want to play with the big brothers!" Yun Rui said with a small mouth.

"Be good, how about daddy take you to the village chief's grandpa's house to see the big lanterns? They are so big."

Speaking of which, Li Yi made an extremely exaggerated size comparison!

When they heard that there was a big lantern to watch, the faces of the few cubs suddenly showed expressions of yearning.

Upon seeing this, Li Yi immediately called Zhang Ziqiang and Zhou Wen, picked up a few children, and prepared to go to the brigade headquarters to have a look.

He knew that every New Year's Eve, many people would stay up late at the brigade headquarters, ordering peanuts and broad beans and drinking some wine.

Those who like to play can also play poker and mahjong. This game usually lasts until dawn, which is very lively.
But just when Li Yi picked up a few babies and was about to leave, he saw two small figures running towards them.
