Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

The three days of running water feasts made Grandpa Du very happy, and the villagers were even more full of food. Old Liu and Xiao Li, who watched movies for three consecutive days in Qinghe Bay, ate and took them to the East and the West.

The old village chief arranged for the mountain goods to be sent back to the county.

Lao Liu and Xiao Li tacitly understood each other, but they had exactly the same thoughts. This trip to Qinghewan was really worth it. Good guy, they almost saved money on New Year shopping. This is not a violation of discipline on their part.

, these local bastards are just the wishes of the folks. At worst, they will come to Qinghe Bay to show movies more often in the future.

Although the Du family didn't contribute much, they still had to worry about making arrangements. They packed up the leftover meat and distributed it to the folks who had watched the movie. After saying thank you, the whole family couldn't wait to sit on the ground.

The next morning, the big rooster in the backyard crowed three times, and the Du family were still sleeping in.

When the family was having breakfast, Father-in-law Sun was already in the sun.[

Breakfast was very simple, with porridge and side dishes just in time to scratch away the fat and water in my stomach. Counting the days, it was really the end of the year.

Like all ordinary people's homes, the Du family has a lively New Year's Eve, so lively that it can even be described as a state of excitement.

From this day to New Year's Eve, the two old ladies at home and Ma Du basically never left the kitchen. They were busy from morning to night, busy making all kinds of food.

Baskets of large steamed buns, small steamed buns, bean buns, meat buns, vegetable buns, steamed buns, date cakes and rice cakes. Baskets of croquettes, fried tofu, fried small crispy fish and small crispy meat. Boxes after boxes.

Steamed whole chicken, steamed whole fish, steamed whole duck.

Grandpa Du felt sorry for his brother who had been wandering in a foreign land for decades. As long as he could think of it, he would arrange it for Grandma Du to figure out. In the kitchen, every time a hot pot of food was served, there were several old men and two old foreigners.

They all came over with small matzas to take a few bites. When it was hot, they fanned their tongues with their hands from time to time.

Brothers Du Zhongyi and Du Jicheng would sigh and sigh for a long time every time they ate something. While eating, Mr. Edward inquired about all the eating customs and taboos, and everything he ate tasted delicious.

The two old ladies and Ma Du were the master chefs, and while guarding a big pot, Du Haoyu and the others became the cooks. They let the high fire make the big fire, and the low fire made the low fire. It was much easier to use than a gas stove with a switch.

Compared to the two new wives who humbly followed her to learn, Ya'er was the most leisurely one besides the old men. One day she would let her eldest brother bake a sweet potato for her on the stove, and the next she would make a hand with yellow mud and play with her simple version of begging.

chicken.

Compared with previous years during the winter vacation, when she would either play with the little sisters or walk around the village to practice treating colds and fevers with the villagers, this year, Ya'er is extremely well-behaved, and is even more beautiful than the other ladies in the drama.

It is a typical person who never leaves the front door or takes a step out, staying at home all day long.

Zhai Mingshan and Zhai Yaohui patted their butts and returned to the capital without a cloud, which made the engaged Ya'er afraid to go out. The villagers, who had a long reflex arc, finally figured out the taste from the emotion of the talented man and the beautiful woman.

.Although the Du family's Ya'er is already a college student, little Ya'er seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?

Even the villagers with bad memories still vaguely remember that when Zhai Yaohui came to Qinghewan to go to the countryside, the Du family's little girl was still a little yellow-haired girl with two braids. At that time, Zhai Yaohui hugged her a lot.

Ya'er called him and Feng Kai to go home for dinner.

Besides, although in the past few years, it was not uncommon for girls of sixteen or seventeen to get married, but now is the new society, and children are only half-grown at the age of sixteen or seventeen. It is a bit too impatient to get engaged now.

Bar?

The folks are embarrassed to say it, but they are actually a little sour in their hearts, greedy and hot-eyed.

Yes, everyone lost unjustly! No wonder everyone said that people in the city are smart. Otherwise, how could Zhai Yaohui act so quickly and settle on a little wife for himself so early?

The simple villagers of Qinghewan also loved gossip, so Ya'er could only stay at home. However, several childhood playmates, Yang Yue and Hehua, came to the house and played with Ya'er several times.

Yang Yue found out earlier than Grandpa Du and the others. She had been really worried about Ya'er for more than a year. This time, she didn't have anything to gossip about, but she breathed a sigh of relief. In the future, when she comes to Ya'er's house again, she will see Uncle Du.

With Auntie and the others, there is no need for them to feel guilty.

He Hua and Fat Ya were full of curiosity and gossip, but they didn't dare to open their mouths to ask. They were not afraid of Ya'er, but of another person! What they remembered most deeply was the cold man who went to the village to go to the countryside when they were young.

Face brother.

Ya'er is sitting at home, and she is content with herself. Grandpa Du is not angry at all, especially when the villagers congratulate Grandpa Du on this matter.

The gold-inlaid jade bracelet wrapped in red silk cloth had long been stuffed by Grandpa Du at the bottom of the kang-top cabinet, out of sight. Grandpa Du was afraid that he might not be able to bear it for a moment and actually drop it.[

Due to Grandpa Du's low pressure from time to time, the whole family had a tacit understanding not to mention the engagement.

However, except for Grandpa Du scolding Zhai Yaohui when he remembered it, this year was still very lively, and the lively mother-in-law Ding Mu, who had just taken office, wanted to learn from Grandpa Du and Grandma Du.

On New Year's Eve, I put up the couplets early, went to the graves in a grand manner, solemnly worshiped my ancestors at home, and after setting off firecrackers, twelve plates of cold New Year's Eve dinner were served on the table.

Grandpa Du looked at the two brothers who had only returned home after decades. His only thought was that the purpose of celebrating the New Year was to reunite the family.

In Qinghe Bay, the Du family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner. In Beijing, the Zhai family was no less lively than the Du family. In the New Year of 1983, the Zhai family also had a family reunion. In previous years, the Zhai family was absent.

The aunt and her family all came back from abroad to celebrate the New Year, and the aunt of the Zhai family also brought her family back to Beijing on New Year's Eve.

The Zhai family also had two New Year's Eve dinners, one for the elders and one for the juniors. Like the Du family, the Zhai family also had an obvious yang-yang-yin decline. The only girl in the third generation was Zhai Yaonan, who was more heroic than the boys.

of.

Moreover, even the New Year's Eve dinner on the Zhai family's table is very similar to that of the Du family. Except for the two fresh vegetables, the remaining raw materials are basically those brought back from Qinghe Bay.

Grandpa Zhai, the head of the Zhai family, rarely keeps a smile on his face. He picked up the first glass of wine and thought to himself, Old Man Du said all day long that their family is blessed with four blessings. Calculating, his own family can also be called four blessings this year.

"Dad, what are the four joys in our family?" The eldest aunt of the Zhai family has a temperament that is most like that of Grandpa Zhai, so she couldn't help but ask. It turns out that Grandpa Zhai accidentally said it just now after finishing his first glass of wine.

Grandpa Zhai was in a good mood and did not act like an elder. For the first time, he talked like an ordinary old man, "What are the four joys? Let me tell you about it!"

You two sisters are back to celebrate the New Year. This family reunion can be regarded as the first joy! The second joy is that after the New Year, it seems that your eldest brother and Xuewu will be able to take a step forward. Xiao Kong, please work hard for two more years.

, there is also a good chance of being transferred to the Central Committee. You brothers and sisters are all doing well at work. This is the second happiness!

As for the third wedding, if Old Man Du’s family marries his daughter-in-law, our family has already married his granddaughter-in-law. No matter how you calculate it, it’s a step ahead of Old Man Du’s family, so it’s considered the third wedding!”

In fact, what Grandpa Zhai wants to say is that it will be more important if he can have a grandson in the coming year. However, young people nowadays are all focused on work, and it is difficult for the old man who has always been a tough and paternalistic man to say this.

Mr. Zhai and his wife Zhai Xuewen, who live together with him, have long been used to the little bit of pride on old man Zhai's face, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhai Xuewu also know the inside story, which is relatively good. The aunt and sister-in-law of the Zhai family are full of satisfaction.

His face was in disbelief, and he didn't even notice that his mouth was wide open, and he hadn't even swallowed the food yet.

As for the two uncles, they had no choice but to keep their heads down and eat. It would be impossible not to keep their heads down. The old man’s power is still there!

As for the table of juniors, they could only pretend to be serious and listen with open ears.

When it comes to the last joy, Grandpa Zhai really wants to show off how wise and powerful he is, helping that little bastard Zhai Yaohui to find his good grandson and daughter-in-law from Old Man Du.

Grandpa Zhai couldn't help but clear his throat. Under Grandma Zhai's expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he continued slowly: "How about you all guess what the fourth happiness is?"

At this moment, the only thought that the two sisters of the Zhai family had was that the old man, who was so showy and titillating, really didn't like it! They were all waiting for the old man to be happy, but they didn't expect the old man to say such a thing.

The eldest aunt of the Zhai family was the most straightforward and aggressive, "Dad, could it be that you are about to have a great-grandson, and Yaoyang and Xiao Wang have a child, right?" After pondering for a long time, this was the most likely possibility.

Wang Ying, who was sitting at the table next to her, was startled by the aunt of the Zhai family's shocking words. She quickly shook her head, "No, aunt, no!" After saying that, she couldn't help but touch her belly. It was time to have a baby.

"Oh!" The aunt of the Zhai family was a little disappointed that she didn't guess correctly, and she didn't bother to guess again, "Dad, please stop being so pretentious! If it's not Yaoyang, it's Yaohui! Or it's Yaonan! It can't be Yaoting.

Bar?"[

"It's not Yao Ting, a brat with hair that hasn't fully grown yet!" Grandpa Zhai finally figured it out and didn't want to whet everyone's appetite. "I've decided to give Xiao Ya'er to our family! Wait until Old Man Du and the others come back.

, just discuss the engagement party!"

The old man couldn't hide his little pride in his tone. Grandpa Zhai had not been willing to announce this happy event, so he waited until the whole family had arrived and settled down before announcing it.

I have to say that Grandpa Zhai’s goal was achieved.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, there were sputtering, coughing, and coughing sounds on the dining table next to him.

Zhai Yaoting pointed at Zhai Yaohui in disbelief, "No way? Grandpa, sister Ya'er really agrees! Second brother, even if you want the old cow to eat young grass, you are a little too impatient!"

"Yes! Yes! Second brother, you are too anxious!" Brothers Yuan Yuan, Yuan Hao, and Kong Xi and Kong Rui nodded repeatedly, expressing their firm agreement with Zhai Yaoting's statement.

At the same dining table, Wang Ying, the eldest sister-in-law, had been doing well just now. She had a smile on her face and greeted Zhang Luo, a young, steady and virtuous person from time to time. But it took a long time to digest the meaning of those few sentences and remember them.

Who is Ya'er? Her heart tightened, and with a bang, the chopsticks she was about to pick up for everyone fell to the ground.

Why didn't I know? The sister-in-law whom I always thought was favored was going to become a sister-in-law? No wonder the little girl was so favored. It turned out that the Zhai family was raising someone else as their daughter-in-law?
