Chapter 132: New Year's greetings to each other

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Liu family, except for Liu Baiquan, were guarding their homes, and Liu Yujin and his wife took all six children to the county town.

The first person I was going to was the old village chief’s house, who brought two bottles of wine, cigarettes, two boxes of pastries, and a big fish weighing more than ten pounds.

The old village chief's son, daughter-in-law and children were not around. They each went back to their parents' homes in the countryside to pay New Year's greetings, but have not come back yet.

The couple hurriedly took the child away after drinking water and eating some melon seed pastries. It was probably because Liu Yujin had been delivering rice and vegetables to the old village chief's house for so long, and he also gave a lot of New Year's goods at the end of the year. The old woman in the old village chief's house was grateful! She was so enthusiastic that Wang Hongying and Liu Yujin couldn't sit still, so she asked to leave. The old lady pulled them and refused to let them go, and insisted that they leave after breakfast. Wang Hongying tried to make excuses to run away. When she arrived at Xiang's family, she felt much more comfortable facing Director Xiang's lover, who was not very talkative.

During this year's Spring Festival, there are many varieties of fruits available on the market. In addition to apples, oranges, and many other oranges are from the south. Bananas, mangos, grapefruits, citrus, oranges... Liu Yujin weighed ten kilograms when he saw this.

I saw that except for the grass fragrance, everyone was carrying fruits in their hands. Brother Liu also said that he would go down a few more times, and there were more outside. He was shocked: "There are only a few people in the family, why do you buy so much? Their three children can't eat much even if they don't sleep at night!"

Junfeng looked at him with constipation, mom: "Mom! Who wouldn't sleep at night and eat fruits? You won't let you bury people like this."

Director Xiang turned his head and blinked at Wang Hongying, making a whisper, and Wang Hongying laughed out loud. She has only now appeared. When Director Xiang’s lover is not familiar with others, he has a serious face, doesn’t like laughing, and doesn’t like to talk. When he is familiar with him, he is as funny as her grass smells, and he loves to laugh.

After greeting the guests, Director Xiang's lover hurried into the kitchen to cook breakfast for them. The kitchen in their city is very small, not as big as the kitchen in the countryside, and can also set up a small dining table for occasional meals. The hostess of the Xiang family are busy making breakfast, and Wang Hongying followed in to help, which seemed a little crowded and uncomfortable.

"Big girl! If there are too many people in your family, will you suffer from cooking?"

"I don't have many people coming soon. Only my nephews like to start over. However, no matter how many of them come, I'm not nervous. Just make some food, and they won't be surprised."

"Hey! Our rural kitchen is spacious, but it's not as clean as your kitchen."

"Each one has its own good!"

"That's true!"

Although Xiang's family has gas, they are usually reluctant to use it. Most of them use briquette stoves. Today, there are many customers, so they can only open the gas tank. This is the first time Wang Hongying has seen nothing, only seeing the flames coming out, and is so surprised. She stares as if she saw a ghost, and her mouth is open for a long time.

The two women were chatting while doing things. Wang Hongying thought that the Xiang family’s brothers and sisters were at work, and this New Year holiday would probably not take a few days. It is estimated that when they come back from the sixth day of the day, it will be time to go to work. So he asked guessingly: "Big girl! You should go to work after the tenth day of the day, right?"

Speaking of work, Xiang Director's lover looked a little dull, shook his head slightly, and replied: "I'm not sure! It's possible that after the fifteenth holiday, there are many foreign fabrics on the market, which are cheap, have many patterns, and are bright in colors. Our fabrics are not easy to sell, and the factory has accumulated a lot of goods. I don't know how to solve the problem above, and production is currently suspended."

"Hey! What should I do? Can I get a salary if I don't work?"

"If you can get a normal salary, there are no bonuses, job subsidies, and other benefits. In fact, our salary is small, and bonuses, various allowances and those benefits are the big ones. Alas! I am not at ease now, and I am afraid that this job will not be guaranteed."

"That's not! Your city is different from our countryside. We have no jobs and land in the countryside. We can grow food and eat, so why can't we starve people to death? You have no jobs and cannot get a salary in the city. What should we do about this problem of eating?!"

"Hey! Or, I'm worried now! Fortunately, my old shopping mall is getting better and better, and my income has increased a lot, otherwise I will be really worried. The main reason is that I have three children to raise, which is the top priority."

"Yes!Yes!" Wang Hongying felt that it was not easy to be a city person at this time.

This is the second time Wang Hongying has eaten Xiangjia’s dishes. She still feels very good. The dishes on the table are simple, but refreshing. During the New Year when she is tired of eating big fish and meat, she looks like she has an appetite.

"This Chinese New Year cooking should be like a big girl, refreshing and delicious. When I got home this time, I also cooked according to the big girl. I didn't make those big fat meat and cooked whole fish. Looking at the table full of dishes, the guests were actually unable to put chopsticks at all."

Although it is very tiring to cook so many small stir-fryes, it will be the end of the year, so that guests who come home can get a good reputation even if they eat and drink well! Moreover, this good reputation is much easier than Liu Yujin helps others to attract livestock every day.

Cao Xiang raised his hands to agree! She smiled at Director Xiang’s lover: “You little guy, what do you know? He raised his hands so high, nodding so vigorously, just like a little chick pecking at the food!”

"To mom! I know, when I went to my grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings, my grandma just used a table of cold dishes to fool people, and my sister and I didn't eat it at all."

Wang Hongying stared at her eyes: "You just talk nonsense!" Taoxiang refuted her, and her mother: "Sister is not talking nonsense. She can't even eat enough to go to grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings every year."

Guixiang felt that it was embarrassing to discuss this matter at someone else's house, and she wanted to solemnly state: I don't know these two bears!

After breakfast, Director Xiang and Liu Yujin took a few older children to their head teacher and principal's house to visit New Year. Wang Hongying, Xingxiang, Taoxiang and Caoxiang, the mother and daughter of Xiang stayed at Xiang's house and got up with Director Xiang's lover for lunch and waited for them to come back for lunch.

On the fifth day of the day, I went to my uncle's house to Zhu's house, and on the sixth day of the day, I took the whole family of Xiang's family to play for a day. Director Xiang's house praised the hot fish fillets in the mutton pot.

To the director's lover, I ate the fish fillets with thin bamboo strips and kept praising them: "This fish fillet is really good to eat when it is hot! I didn't expect that there was no fishy smell. What seasoning is used to marinate them?"

"I didn't put anything special, so I added some wine and ginger slices!"
