The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 154 One year old is eliminated with the sound of firecrackers!

Otherwise Chen Xueru would be in trouble. Growing up in a merchant family, I know very well how to give gifts that are most appropriate and appropriate to people's wishes under any circumstances.

For the first time in my life, I gave gifts to the elders of the man I cared about. It took a lot of effort.

Knowing that Grandma Zhang doesn't like to be extravagant and doesn't like to be in the limelight, she has passed a dozen types of materials for making clothes.

Finally, I specially selected thick navy blue corduroy fabric. This material is not outstanding, but it has guaranteed quality and is stylish to wear and easy to take care of.

Using brand-new materials, the tailor in the shop made Grandma Zhang a small double-breasted jacket and cotton trousers.

Two lines of piping were specially added to the cuffs of the jacket and cotton trousers, which are both beautiful and stylish.

As for the clothes for Zhang Chenfei, they were much simpler. She had already made two sets of clothes for him since they were dressed.

This guy has two criteria when choosing clothes. The first is good-looking, and the second is still good-looking.

So she randomly chose tweed and made a Chinese tunic suit.

After putting the two new sets of clothes in the car basket, Zhang Chenfei went to Xu Huizhen's place to take a look again.

This girl is very ambitious. When she left home, her parents told her not to go home if she refused to admit defeat, so she really refused to go home.

I usually work alone at Qianmen preparing for the opening of a new store, but I am not worried about the Chinese New Year coming soon. I am making dumplings and cleaning the house by myself.

Seeing Zhang Chenfei coming over, he comforted him and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry about me, I will take good care of myself.

If there is really something that I can't handle, I will naturally go to you and talk to you. "

Yes, a big woman is a big woman! !

What else is there to say? Zhang Chenfei stopped writing and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard from Qianmen Street.

Along the way, you can hear the sound of firecrackers from time to time, and occasionally you can see groups of three or five chasing children with small whips.

After all, the New Year is coming, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people selling New Year's goods.

In addition to the usual shops, there are also many stalls on the roadside, selling home-cut window grilles, home-made shoes and various snacks.

When Zhang Chenfei was riding his bicycle along Gulou East Street and turned to Nanluogu Lane, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure at a stall set up on the roadside.

The thin figure stood in front of a dilapidated Eight Immortals table and was splashing ink wantonly.

In front of his table, there were many people waiting with their hands on their sleeves.

Next to the Eight Immortals table, there is a piece of cardboard with a price clearly marked on it, and a pair of couplets cost 20 cents.

Zhang Chenfei's eyes lit up. When he was watching TV before, the third uncle Yan Bugui would set up an Eight Immortals table in the yard to write Spring Festival couplets for everyone every time he celebrated the New Year.

To whomever I write to, I will be given a dime or two, or a few handfuls of peanuts, melon seeds, etc., which is euphemistically called writing fee.

Zhang Chenfei thought that Uncle Yan had always been like this, but now that he saw it, he realized that he used to sell Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year.

As for why it won’t be sold in the future, and why it was renamed as refinishing fee, it must be because the country severely cracks down on speculation? ? ?

After standing there and watching for a while, Zhang Chenfei made sure that Uncle Yan's business was not bad. He shouted: "Uncle Yan, leave a good pair for me later!! I will give the money to Aunt Yan tonight."

After hearing Yan Bugui's reply, he rode away on his bicycle.

Stepping into the gate of the courtyard, before passing through the hanging flower door, I heard Tang Danniu's purring voice coming from her kitchen.

Although he and his eldest brother have separated, they are the only two brothers in the old Zhang family, and they still have to spend the Chinese New Year together.

As the saying goes, today is different from the past.

In previous years, although the old Zhang family was said to have many people, they were still poor. The dumplings eaten during the Chinese New Year contain eight parts cabbage and two parts meat. It can be said that everyone who sees it is sad and hears it and sheds tears.

But this year, Zhang Chenliang's salary has increased significantly, and he has learned how to make radios from his younger brother, which has eased his family's financial conditions.

Tang Da Niu also went all out and specially approved the thirty-year New Year celebration.

Zhang Chenfei won the first prize in the literacy performance and received fifteen pounds of pork. He also received another reward as a model worker.

What’s more, Li Youbing also gives you a lot.

Therefore, what the old Zhang family has experienced this year is simply unprecedented and unprecedented.

Lao Zhang has a large family, and they are all young men. One of them can eat as much as the three of them, so Tang Da Niu has been busy since early in the morning.

Chopped chicken pieces, ribs, and meat sections were placed in a large pot each, marinated with starch and five-spice powder, and then fried in oil.

At this moment, she was cutting the meat again under the guidance of the old lady. The more she cut, the happier Tang Danniu became, shouting that if you live a long time, you can see all kinds of rare things.

"Old lady, tell me, if this was last year, and you told me that our family would have so much meat to eat during the New Year, would I believe that there was a ghost???"

But what is the reality? ? It’s really there! ! !

Grandma Zhang was on fire, and she was quite beautiful at first, but when she heard the eldest granddaughter-in-law’s words, her face suddenly darkened: “You’re a New Year’s Eve, if you can’t speak, just shut your mouth!!!”

have to! ! He knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said and had made the old lady unhappy.

Tang Danniu stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything else.

After scolding Tang Danniu, the old lady got up and went to the back room, moved a small bench, stood up tremblingly, and took down a small jar from the top of the cabinet.

"Madam, what is this???" Zhang Xiangmei, who was over two years old, saw it and asked, sucking her fingers.

Grandma Zhang looked at Xiao Laoliu's appearance, unscrewed the jar, poked her finger in, dipped some of the liquid inside, and smeared it on Zhang Xiangmei's mouth.

"Go, little six, go play firecrackers with your brother and the others. Ah."

After saying that, he held the jar and walked towards the kitchen with his head down.

Zhang Xiangmei stuck out her tongue and wrapped it around her lips, her eyes immediately brightened.

He turned around, patted his butt and ran outside.

As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into his second uncle.

"No, your boy was chased by a wolf?? Running so fast??" Zhang Chenfei lifted up Xiao Laoliu and stabbed his face with the stubble.

Zhang Xiangmei fluttered her short legs and tried to escape, but she couldn't escape. She could only scream and beg her second uncle to let her go.

Zhang Chenfei pinned him to the ground but didn't let go, insisting that the young man tell him why he was running so fast.

Zhang Xiangmei licked her lips again: "Madam, give me some candy. It's sweet. Sue my brother."

Although the words were stuttered, Zhang Chenfei probably understood.

He nodded and touched the young man's hair to encourage him: "Yes, he is a good boy at a young age who knows not to monopolize everything but to think about his brothers. Go ahead.

Hurry up and tell your brothers to come over and eat honey. If you are late, my wife will hide you. "

After sending Xiao Laoliu away, Zhang Chenfei opened the curtain and entered the kitchen. He saw a basket full of freshly steamed white steamed buns placed in a large basket on the chopping board.

On the large stove in the northwest corner of the kitchen, sister-in-law Tang Danniu and grandma were working together.

Tang Danniu grabbed the meat cubes with both hands, while the old lady scooped honey out of the honey jar on the side and spread it on the meat cubes.

The meat seemed to have been smeared with something else in advance, and it looked sauce-colored.

Zhang Chenfei leaned against the door frame and watched the two people busy at work. When the old lady was working, she couldn't see anyone idle, so she immediately started arranging tasks for him.

"Da Fei, pour oil into the pot and we'll start frying the meat in a moment."

"Hey!!" Zhang Chenfei ran over, picked up the oil bucket and poured oil into the pot, "Is it enough, old lady???" "Not enough, pour it!!"

"Is it enough??"

"not enough!!"

"Is it enough???"

"I said, why do you keep asking like this??? When you want to listen, I will ask you to stop!!!" Grandma Zhang got annoyed and said.

"Hey, you old lady." Zhang Chenfei raised his eyebrows, "In the past, eating a little oil seemed to kill you, but if you add one or two more drops when cooking, you will complain that you can't live anymore.

What happened this year? Possessed? ? ? "

Grandma Zhang glanced at him: "I'm happy to do it, but do you care?"

"Hey, you old lady." Zhang Chenfei shook his head, as if I don't care about you.

"What's wrong with me??" The old lady seemed to want to confront him, "In the past, things were difficult at home, so I didn't say anything. This year, the weather has been good, you have a good job, and your brother has also received a salary increase, so my old lady just I want to live a good year in a down-to-earth manner.

Cook more delicious food for the children and have a good New Year, right? ? ? "

"Chengchengcheng, why not?? Am I kidding you??" Zhang Chenfei went over to coax her.

How could he not know what the old lady was thinking? ? ?

After their parents passed away, it was not easy for my brother and sister-in-law to raise their children and themselves. The old lady saw this and was anxious in her heart.

This year, the life of her family has been visibly better. The old lady intends to have a good year, and she also wants to show off in the courtyard, letting people know that although the old Zhang family has split up, her two grandsons are still very capable.

After coaxing the old lady to smile, Zhang Chenfei suddenly let out a yelp.

"What's wrong? What's all the fuss about?" Grandma Zhang rolled her eyes at him.

"Old lady, hurry up and hide your little jar of honey. If you are late, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"It's too late?" Grandma Zhang was full of doubts, "Why is it too late?"

Zhang Chenfei pointed to the window.

The old lady followed his direction and saw six gourd babies with six heads propped on the windowsill, six pairs of eyes blinking at her.

"Madam, Xiaolao Liu said there is honey to eat!!!"

Ah, this

Grandma Zhang only felt dizzy for a while, but now that the matter was over, what could be done? ? ?

ten minutes later,

The six gourd babies of Lao Zhang's family were all sitting on the threshold, each holding a small bowl of honey water and sipping it in small sips.

Yi Zhonghai, who was working on the front line of the steel rolling mill, came back from get off work and just stepped through the door. When he saw this scene, his heart twisted into a twist.

No,

New Year’s Eve! ! Do we have to create such obstacles for labor and management? ?

Is it great that your old Zhang family has a son? ? Can’t you just go back to your own home and drink water? ?

Why do you have to sit in rows at the gate? ? ? The heart of labor and management! ! ! ! !

In the kitchen of Lao Zhang's house.

Fried crispy pork, fried fish nuggets, fried chicken nuggets, fried pork cubes, fried meatballs, basins of fried meat, the table and chest of drawers in Zhang Chenfei's new house are filled with all kinds of delicacies.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chenliang returned to the yard carrying several newly purchased bottles of fine wine and a large baggage.

He put down the wine, took out a pair of shoes from his bag and carried them to the kitchen.

"Grandma, these are authentic calfskin shoes. I haven't bought you any clothes for so many years."

"Ah? Did you buy me shoes?" Grandma Zhang quickly wiped her wet hands clean on her clothes, took the shoes and looked at them carefully, smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "Da Fei bought clothes for me, and you bought them for me?" I bought some shoes and it’s been a great year this year!!!”

Tang Danniu vigorously stirred the dumpling fillings while laughing, "What is this?? Old lady, your luck is yet to come!!!"

"You, you said something I like to hear today." Grandma Zhang looked at Tang Danniu.

Tang Da Niu curled her lips: "You always think that I can't speak and am vulgar, so hurry up and ask Da Fei to find you an educated granddaughter-in-law tomorrow!!

But one thing is that no matter how educated she is, she may not be able to give birth to eight boys for your old Zhang family in one go like me! ! ! "

At the end of the sentence, I looked like I was proud to have given birth to eight boys.

The Zhang family's kitchen was filled with laughter and laughter.

After laughing, Zhang Chenliang took Zhang Pingan and Zhang Shunsui to post Spring Festival couplets.

Zhang Chenfei began to wash the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, while Tang Danniu and Grandma Zhang continued to make dumplings.

According to the rules of Sijiucheng, eating dumplings during the New Year must be eaten from the 30th day of the New Year to the 15th day of the first lunar month, so take advantage of the time to make more dumplings.

It saves trouble to just eat it when you go back to eat.

When Lao Zhang's family was busy, the other residents of the courtyard were not idle either.

The people have been busy all year, and today, no matter which family is doing it, they are trying their best to have a good New Year.

White smoke floats in the sky above the courtyard all day long, and the air is mixed with the aroma of meat, candy and steamed buns.

As soon as you smell it, you can't help but want to swallow.

In winter in the north, it always gets dark very early.

It was only around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already getting dark.

At around six o'clock in the evening, one or two firecrackers sounded occasionally from far to near, and then they became more dense.

After the firecrackers, there is a smell mixed with gunpowder and the aroma of pine and cypress, lingering in the air.

The place where Zhang Chenfei lived in his previous life had banned fireworks and firecrackers for a long time. Smelling this smell deep in his memory, he couldn't help but breathe heavily, and he felt a little excited.

A rich New Year's Eve dinner was placed on the table of the Zhang family, including stir-fried tripe with fried meat, fish fillets, vinegar-soaked kidneys, fried pork ribs, tripe with jellyfish, bowls of crispy pork, bowls of chicken nuggets, and fried peanuts.

Grandma Zhang fished out two large bowls of dumplings from the pot, and arranged for her two grandsons and six great-grandsons who could walk to kowtow to her son and daughter-in-law.

"Kowtow and come over quickly to eat. Hurry, hurry, hurry!!" the old lady greeted.

The two brothers Zhang Chenfei said "Hello" and obediently held the dumplings in their hands and went to the back room in the backyard.

Those whose parents were still there, after offering dumplings, stared at the six little gourd dolls and kowtowed to each other.

Zhang Chenfei and Zhang Chenliang then returned to the front yard with a few boys.

When passing by the middle courtyard, I heard the voices of the deaf old lady, Silly Zhu, and He Yuyu coming from Lao Yi's house.

"What's going on??? Silly Zhu is celebrating the New Year at Uncle Yi's house this year???" Zhang Chenliang was very surprised.

Zhang Chenfei listened for a while and said, "Maybe we are celebrating the New Year together."

Yi Zhonghai and his wife have no children, the deaf old lady is alone, and the biological father of Sha Zhu and He Yuyu just ran away with the widow this year. It makes sense for these people to get together to celebrate the New Year.
