The Happiness of Rebirth in the 80s

Chapter 54

After New Year's greetings in the morning on the first day of the new year, the afternoon is the time for the folks to relax.Most of the men are looking for a place to play cards, while the women are lively, serving melon seeds and peanuts, chatting all afternoon.

Liu Tao'er didn't go out in the morning, so naturally she had to go to Gao's mother's place in the afternoon.Not only do we have to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders, but we also have to give lucky money to a few children.

The three children were impartial, and Liu Taoer gave all of them a one-yuan New Year's money.Of course, Wu Lan and Bai Jing also gave Gao Tongtong and Gao Haohao one dollar each.Speaking of which, Liu Taoer's family is still making money.

The first day of the new year passed quickly, and it was the next day in a blink of an eye.The second day of junior high school is the day when the daughter returns to her natal home.Wu Lan, Liu Taoer, and Bai Jing all had to go back to their parents' homes.Because this year is the first year of Gao Xiuer's marriage, Gao Aiguo, as the eldest brother, took the initiative to stay to entertain his younger sister and brother-in-law, and asked the two younger brothers to pay New Year's greetings to his mother-in-law.

Liu Tao'er went back to her natal home in a daze when she was just reborn. Later, because she was pregnant and gave birth to a child, her natal family had always come to Gaojiatun to see her, and she hadn't been back to her natal home yet.So when she went back this time, she took quite a lot of things.

There are desserts and candied fruit made by Liu Taoer, as well as cotton shoes and hats she made for her parents.Gao Aimin also bought two bottles of good wine for the old man, plus a basket full of eggs.Things can be piled up to form a hill.

With so many things and two children, it is really inconvenient for a mother who has just given birth.Gao Aimin simply borrowed a tricycle from someone else's house, spread a thick quilt underneath, put all three of his mothers on it, and wrapped the top with a quilt so that the wind could not get through at all. .

The wind in winter is very cold, but Gao Aimin was still sweating when he arrived at the door of Liu Taoer's house.Liu's father and Liu's mother were waiting at the door, and when they saw the family coming, they greeted them immediately. "Are you here? I'm thinking about you. It's hard to let you bring your two children with you in such a cold day." Mother Liu said.

Seeing that Liu Tao'er and the two children were tightly covered, and the hands of the daughter and granddaughter were warm when they touched them, Mother Liu's heart that had been holding her was relieved.Seeing that his son-in-law was sweating profusely in the cold weather, he said distressedly: "Look, Aimin is so tired, hurry up and come in and have a rest."

After finishing speaking, the strict Gao Haohao who took the bag from Liu Taoer's arms asked his wife to hug Gao Tongtong as well, and then brought the family into the house.

There is no one else in the Liu family except the old couple. Liu Tao'er's three older brothers all went to visit her mother-in-law's family for New Year's greetings. Liu Xing'er's house is far away, and they haven't come yet.But although there are few people in the family, Mother Liu's house is very warm.

"Quickly, go to the kang to warm up for a while. Your eldest sister will come back in a while. Aimin should stop sitting down there and go up to warm up. It must be very cold, especially the hands and feet. If you freeze, you will suffer a great crime." After placing the daughter and two grandchildren on the kang, seeing that the son-in-law was still standing below, Mother Liu hurriedly asked him to go to the kang to warm up.

Gao Aimin showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "Mother, it's okay, the clothes Taoer made for me are thick, and the gloves are not cold at all, my hands are still warm." Mother Liu touched it.

Mother Liu did not feel cold when she touched it, and she couldn't help sighing, this kid is really strong, so she just ignored her and let him chat with Father Liu.My daughter is just out of confinement, although she has been there several times during confinement, she is still worried, so she has to ask.

Liu's mother took Liu Tao'er and asked carefully for a long time, such as whether she touched cold water during the confinement period, whether she took a bath, how her food was, and so on.

Liu Tao'er knew that her mother cared about her, so she didn't feel impatient, so she answered whatever Mother Liu asked.After about half an hour, Liu Xing'er's arrival interrupted the two people who were talking.

There are five members of Liu Xing'er's family, and they came here on two bicycles.Liu Xing'er took a child with her, and she also carried a few big bags and small bags. As for Liu's brother-in-law, she was one in front of her and the other in the back.The group of people gave way again, and sat down again after a while.

There are three children in Liu Xinger's family. The eldest is 14 years old. He is nearly 1.7 meters tall and half-sized. He eats more food than Liu Xinger's husband.Half a child eats me to death, and this boy hops to the place where Liu's mother puts food to find something to eat after sitting for a while.

Mother Liu didn't mind either. She was always kind to these grandchildren and grandchildren. When she saw him looking for food, she offered to help him get it, "Come on, Pengpeng eats this. This is made by your aunt. Incredibly sweet."

Although Wu Peng was greedy, he was 14 years old after all. By the time Liu Taoer and the others were about to get married and have children, he was still a little embarrassed to see his grandma bring food. "Grandma, you can eat too, this snack is also delicious."

"Okay, okay, come here, come hungry, the snacks made by your aunt are delicious, much more delicious than those bread cakes, let's make up for it first, let's cook right away." Wu Peng is the Liu family The first grandchildren, so whether it is the three brothers of the Liu family or Liu Taoer, they love him very much, even if he is favored like Liu Taoer, Wu Peng did not miss him when he was a child, so no one will see this kid looking for food there Outside, but to help find.But Mother Liu didn't forget about the remaining grandchildren, and kept calling them over to eat.

The brothers and sisters of the Wu family saw their elder brother eating there non-stop, and the snacks that grandma brought out were very attractive. Even if they were not hungry, they all ran over there, and even Gao Tongtong went to join in the fun.The room was full of laughter and laughter.

Seeing her son's denial of birth, Liu Xing'er was not angry at all. If she is still hypocritical in her natal family, what is going too far these days? Instead, she took a snack and handed it to her husband and said, "Try it too, it's delicious. very."

Wu Xinjian couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his daughter-in-law like this, she looked like a child, but after all, she took it and put it in her mouth and took a bite.Their home is not close to the mother-in-law's home, so although the family went out early, they came late, and now they are a little hungry.Presumably Wu Lan also knew what he looked like, so she handed him something to eat.

When Liu's mother saw it, she knew that my uncle was hungry, so she quickly called the eldest daughter to the kitchen to cook. Now everything at home is ready-made, and she can do anything.Liu Taoerniang and the elder sister went out, told Gao Aimin to watch the child, and then went out to help.Although she can't help much, it's okay to light the fire.

Although honeycomb briquettes are used in rural areas now, it is cold in winter and only used in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, raw coal fires are generally used. When there are many people, large pots are used for fires.

The Liu family is happy and harmonious, and the Gao family is also very lively now.Wu Lan didn't go back to her mother's house today, and came to Gao's mother early in the morning to help.

This is the first year for Xu Guoqiang to come here. Gao's mother prepared a lot of things, including several hard dishes, so she directed the family around early in the morning.

Wu Lan didn't have any complaints either, the key is that she's used to it, it's been like this every time since Gao Hong'er, and now even Xiu'er is married, that's four times.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Gao Hong'er arrived with her family. In fact, she came here just to help out. The second year of junior high school was Guoqiang's first year at home, so she had to prepare a lot of food. There is no one today, she can help a little by going early.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Wu Lan busy there, and Gao Hong'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, if I had known that you hadn't left today, I wouldn't have woken up early. We didn't even have breakfast this morning. eat."

Gao Honger's family runs a grocery store, and now is the time for business. Someone came to buy things early in the morning, and Gao Honger wanted to come back early to help, so she didn't have time to eat in the morning.

"What are you worried about? I can still delay the family affairs. There is still porridge in the house. How about warming it up for you two? The adults can persist, but the child is still hungry." Wu Lan smiled at Gao Hong son said.

"Okay, let's cut some pickles and eat some delicious food at home. I'm still hungry. Our Zhenping family didn't have time to eat in the morning." Gao Honger saw Wu Lan like this Said, he made a request without hesitation, and even brought the whole family in.

Seeing that the eldest sister was not polite, Wu Lan smiled.He quickly warmed up breakfast for the family, and served some preserved fruit brought by Liu Taoer's New Year's Eve for the children to satisfy their hunger.Gao Hong'er was greedy and took one too, "Well, it's delicious, sister-in-law, is this made by the second family?"

"It wasn't Tao'er Thirty who brought it here. There are several kinds of preserved fruit alone. It has spoiled the mischief of our family. If it wasn't for the mother who said that she would give you a taste, I'm afraid I would have given it to you two." People finished eating. Speaking of which, this thing is really delicious, much more delicious than candy, and I don’t know where Tao’er came up with so many ideas.”

Hearing what Wu Lan said, Gao Honger's eyes lit up, and she took one and stuffed it into Guo Zhenping's mouth, "Zhenping, how about you try it? Can you sell it with dim sum?"

Guo Zhenping put a piece of candied fruit into his mouth, it was sweet but not greasy and had the taste of the fruit itself, it was really indescribably delicious, which made Guo Zhenping a little more confident about his plan.

"Okay, Aimin's daughter-in-law is really good. At least we don't have this level in the city. In our village, we usually dry fruits and so on, but it's far from this." Guo Zhenping, as a shrewd Of course, it is easy for a small businessman to find a place to make money. Seeing his wife asking this question, he immediately thought of many ways to make money.
