Mei Zhonghua was drunk when eating at noon on the first day of the junior high school.
At the wine table, he kept complimenting his daughter, "I don’t think my family Ranran is a girl, but it’s a matter of opinion. This time I set off the store to do the clothing business, which is also her point... If we continue to develop in this way, My daughter is probably more promising than her son!"
These words embarrassed Mei Xiaoran, and she deserves such praise from her father if she is really a teenager. But she is now applying the tender paint to the old cucumber, and she is really ashamed!
She was so anxious that she explained to everyone, "My dad is drunk, don't listen to his nonsense, I am a child who has this ability, because my dad loves me and puts high hats on me."
The uncles of the Mei family laughed after hearing this explanation. They didn't think that Mei Xiaoran had such an ability, and regarded Mei Zhonghua's words as drunken talk.
In previous years, after returning to my hometown for New Year’s greetings and having lunch, the family would walk back. But this year, with bicycles, and Mei Zhonghua was drunk and talking nonsense, Li Mingyun took the children home without waiting for Mei Zhonghua wine to wake up.
After arriving home, the stove was set ablaze. Li Mingyun took the two children around the stove and ate melon seeds and ate sweets, unexplainably cozy.
"Mom, when you go to my grandma's house tomorrow, what gift do you have prepared?"
Mei Xiaoran knew that every year when she went to visit her relatives at her grandmother's house, her mother would prepare a four-color gift. This year, the economic situation of the family has improved a lot, and her mother will definitely get more generous things from her mother's house!
Li Mingyun smiled triumphantly, "You will know tomorrow."
Mei Zhonghua didn't come back after five o'clock in the afternoon, and his face was a little red when he arrived home.
Li Mingyun lay on the bedside and saw him walking into the room. He couldn't help but sneer, "Didn't you have a good drink at noon? Why did you know that you came back?"
"Don't mention it, I was in a high mood today and accidentally drank too much at noon."
Seeing that the meal has not yet been cooked, Mei Zhonghua took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, "Today's New Year's Day, I will cook dinner tonight, and let your mother take a good rest during the New Year."
Mei Xiaoran's sister and brother were delighted.
In the evening, Mei Zhonghua cooked several dishes, including sweet and sour fish, vinegared cabbage, braised pork and braised chicken nuggets... He wanted to make up for the children that he hadn't eaten in a year.
"Dad, I knew you were the best to me!"
Mei Xiaoran likes to be jealous
Tasteful food, two of the four dishes her dad cooked at night were sour and they were all made for her. Can she be upset
Mei Xiaoran felt a little excited when she thought that she could relive her father's love and mother's love once, and even her eyes were a little red...
Everyone had a pleasant dinner. After dinner, the Mei family, who had worked hard for a year, all lay down in bed early.
The second day is the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Li Mingyun took out the cigarettes, wine, sugar, and cans that he had prepared long ago, hung them on the handlebars, and went back to Beiguan with Mei Zhonghua and a child.
People came and went in Kangping County before, but after waiting for the New Year these few days, it was deserted anyway, except for piles of red firecracker paper on the ground, not many pedestrians.
When she came to grandma's house, Mei Xiaoran saw her second aunt far away. The second aunt is the closest to grandma's house, of course the earliest one arrived.
"Grandpa, grandma, second aunt, we are back, and we are going to give you New Year greetings."
Mei Xiaoran jumped out of the car and yelled sweetly, looking very cute.
Li Hongwei heard that the eldest sister's family came back, and hurriedly ran out of the yard to help carry things, "Eldest sister, you come back with so many things every year, are you afraid that you won't be tired of me?"
"Uncle, you said so nicely, then don't eat it!"
Seeing that her uncle was also completely new and more handsome and stylish, Mei Xiaoran couldn't help but praise him, "Uncle, I find you are getting more and more handsome."
"Ran Ran, I know you have vision, but can you be a little creative?" Li Hongwei smiled proudly, "Yesterday I went out to pay New Year's greetings and listened to so many people who praised me. I was tired of listening."
"Cut, you're stinky, uncle, right?"
Li Hongwei smiled and carried things into the hall.
Li Mingyun and his wife were also busy saying hello to their parents and second sisters, "Father, mom, happy new year! Mingqin happy new year!"
Mei Xiaoran came to the house to see that his second uncle Zhou Jincheng had already arrived, and Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai were playing nearby.
Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai didn't wear shabby and old clothes as usual, they both wore new clothes.
Zhou Yan was wearing a rose red corduroy dress, while Zhou Kai was wearing a military green corduroy dress. The two children looked so energetic and beautiful in such a suit!
Mei Xiaoran took a closer look at the styles of these two sets of clothes
It was different from the ones sold in the market, and it fits in an exceptional fit. From this, she judged that the clothes were made by the second aunt herself... In fact, the second aunt’s craftsmanship was not bad at first, but she was bullied by her mother-in-law after she got married to Zhou’s family. , I can’t be the master, so I don’t even have the money to wear clothes and buy cloth for the children. People who don’t know think that Zhou’s life is very poor. In fact, Zhou’s conditions are not really that bad.
The new clothes that Mei Xiaoran and her brother wore were picked for herself and Lei Lei when Mei Xiaoran and her father bought the goods that day. Although it looks more fashionable than the clothes made by the second aunt, it is better to do it. The quality is exquisite, and the material is of the same style. There were no more choices in this era.
Everyone was talking lively, Cheng Bin took Li Mingye back on his bicycle, and the handlebars also carried heavy four-color gifts.
As the new son-in-law who came to the house in the first year, Cheng Bin was naturally loved by the two brothers-in-law, and the two brothers-in-law greeted him tacitly, "Happy new year, Xiaobin!"
Since Cheng Bin lost a temporary worker in the winery, he was severely scolded by Li Mingye, but he stopped drinking for a few days and found a temporary job. The overall performance of the year was not bad.
But Zhou Jincheng was very grateful to Cheng Bin, "Xiao Bin, if you introduce the work of this mason, I don’t know what to do after we split up with your second sister. Fortunately, the mason will make a little profit every month. Thank you for your help."
"Second brother, depending on what you say, I just say something... if you have good craftsmanship, if you don't do the job well, people won't want you."
Leaving aside Cheng Bin's ills, he is actually very kind to people, which is why Mei Xiaoran likes to be close to his fourth uncle from his previous life to the present.
"Uncle, let's go and shoot."
Boys have a boyish game. Li Hongwei took Mei Xiaolei and Zhou Kai to the door to shoot.
And Mei Xiaoran got together with her aunt and Zhou Yan, whispering on melon seeds.
"Xiaoyan, your new dress this year is so beautiful!"
Zhou Yan was a little blushing at the compliment, and she smiled embarrassedly, "It's all my mother's handy hands. The clothes for me and Xiaokai are all made by my mother. The clothes she makes look good and fit, and my milk made us better than in previous years. The clothes look much better!"
