Chen Shouxing had just returned from buying New Year's goods when he heard a voice calling his name from outside.

He put down the baskets he was about to move, and when he went out, he saw that it was Yu Dahu, a friend he had met when he was guarding his eldest sister in Yujia Village when he was young.

Chen Shouxing smiled, put his arms around his shoulders and asked him to come in and sit down, chatting as he walked.

"Auntie, you are in good health."

"Well, she was still able to hold a stick yesterday and chased the big yellow dog that was eating pig food several times."

"Oh... By the way, something happened to the Yu family's dog Wazi this morning... The Yu family also found that there was less food. My mother asked you to ask Yu Laoer to hide first."

……

Yu Dahu put down the tea bowl, stood up and said, "Brother Shouxing, my mother is still waiting for my reply. I have to go back."

Chen Shouxing nodded and said, "Dahu, wait a moment and help me bring something to my aunt."

With that said, he turned around and went back to his room.

in the room,

Zhao Miaomiao heard the footsteps and looked away from the embroidered fan, "Back."

Chen Shouxing hummed and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, look at what you have. Pack more. I'll ask Dahu to take it back to aunt."

Big tiger?Aren't you helping your husband look after the Yu family?

Zhao Miaomiao put down her needle and thread and thought for a while, took half a catty of fructose, and wrapped some persimmons and sugar cakes in oil paper.

The little fat man was lying on the bed like a ball of soft mud, his round belly rising and falling, and his black and white eyes looked at him.

Chen Shouxing smiled and stretched out his two big hands, squeezing his little fleshy face again and again.

Xiaopang clenched his little fists and stared at him angrily, "Ouch... crooked dish~"

Zhao Miaomiao smiled, pushed Chen Shouxing gently, put everything into the basket and handed it to him.

Chen Shouxing let go of his little fleshy face and took the things.

The little fat man immediately moved his buttocks, leaving him with an angry look on the back of his head.

Chen Shouxing laughed softly, stretched out his finger and poked his small back, and the chubby little boy moved again.

After a while, he retracted his hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'll catch another chicken."

There are so many things, but also add a chicken, what a gift!
Zhao Miaomiao suddenly raised her head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Chen Shouxing raised the corners of his lips and said, "I'll tell you when I come back later."

Hearing the sound of leaving footsteps, the little fat man turned around slowly, blinking his eyes, with a look of confusion on his fair face.

Zhao Miaomiao looked funny and stretched out her hand to rub the stupid hair on his little head.

……

At night, Old Man Chen called the butcher and got rid of the two black pigs at home, leaving only half of the pigs for the New Year.

Lard was boiling in the kitchen, and the fragrance of oil floated in the yard. The children couldn't sit still and crawled into the kitchen.

Jinbao stared at the pork residue floating in the oil pan, swallowing his saliva.

Goudan tugged on the hem of Mrs. Chen's clothes, lifted her little feet, and looked into the pot.

Mrs. Chen frowned and said, "Ouch! You guys are so greedy, why are you so close to the oil pan? You're not afraid of being splashed by the oil..."

The scolding voice suddenly stopped. She looked at the big protruding head sandwiched between the children. Then she twitched the corners of her mouth and shouted in a deafening voice, "Fat Li! You shameless, shameless, starving ghost!" Baby! The child is ignorant and greedy, and you are a greedy mother too! Come on, if you don’t go out, I will send you out with a spatula!"

Li Fatya covered her ears that were buzzing from the shock, wrinkled her fat face, and muttered aggrievedly, "I'll just take a look and smell it." Mrs. Chen squinted her old eyes, picked up the spatula, turned around, and He yelled, “I can’t get out!”

"Mom, I'm leaving right now!"

Li Fatty moved her body and left the kitchen reluctantly.

Jin Bao and others looked at each other.

Mrs. Chen had a straight face, glanced at the children, waved her hands and said, "You guys should go out too and don't get in the way of the kitchen."

Having said that, she took the colander, scooped out a few pieces of lard residue, put it into a bowl, stuffed it into Jin Bao's hand and said, "Go, go, take it out and eat it, don't hinder me from working."

Jin Bao held the bowl with both hands and went out with a satisfied smile.

Goudan Yinbao and the others followed Jinbao like little tails and left.

As soon as they came out of the kitchen, the children rushed up and gathered around the bowl in Jinbao's hand. Each of them took a piece of lard residue and gnawed it.

Li Fatya, who hadn't gone far, turned around and came back. She also took a piece and chewed it in her mouth. She squinted her eyes as she ate.

Mrs. Chen scooped up the lard residue from the pot and put it in a bowl. She poured the boiled lard into a porcelain basin and sealed it with salt.

When I came out, I saw Fatty Li, whose mouth was full of oil after eating. The corner of his mouth twitched again, and he was about to curse.

Li Pangya's little eyes met hers, as if he knew she was going to curse, he immediately turned around and ran away, his fat body shaking as he ran.

Mrs. Chen: "..."

For dinner, there were four meat dishes and one soup, and everyone in the Chen family ate happily.

On the dining table of Chen Da Niu's family, two meat dishes and one soup were also added.

After dinner, Yu Laoer did not go home as usual, but stayed at Chen's house overnight. Yinbao and Goudan went to sleep with their parents, leaving the free space for Yu Laoer.

On the other side, everyone in the Yu family who was waiting for the return of Yu Lao Er naturally couldn't wait for anyone.

It was already so dark that no one could be seen, and Mrs. Yu was still sitting in the yard cursing, without going back to rest.

Four bags of corn and several hundred kilograms of grain were missing, and no one in the Yu family looked ugly.

Boss Yu cursed, "Damn it! The second bastard, why won't he come back? If he doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year, he will become the son-in-law of the Chen family!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu's face turned even darker.

What would happen if they caught the second uncle? The Yu family didn't dare to go to the Chen family to ask for food back. The eldest daughter-in-law bit her lip and said tentatively, "Mom, the black eggs and the iron eggs have all gone to the Chen family anyway. Didn't the Chen family say black people If Dan Tiedan changes her surname to Chen, then..."

Mrs. Yu waved her hand and gave her a slap. She looked at her with a pair of sharp old eyes and cursed, "Hei Dan Tiedan's surname is Yu! If you dare to have such evil thoughts again, I will tear your mouth out!"

The Chen family is leaving Heidan Tiedan, but when the child grows up, she has to return to the Yu family to worship her ancestors. From now on, her descendants will burn incense for her. If she changes her surname, she will really belong to someone else's family!

Yu's eldest daughter-in-law covered her face that was so painful from being beaten, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, clenched her palms tightly, and secretly cursed the old thing, I will kill you sooner or later!
The next day, New Year's Eve.

Old man Chen took his son and grandson to worship their ancestors. When they came back, Chen Shouxing and his brothers took batter, new couplets, and wooden ladders to replace the old couplets on the door of their home.

On this day, Zhao Miaomiao put down her embroidery work and was in the kitchen with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, making dumplings and preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

Mrs. Chen washed a handful of copper coins and put a copper coin in the dumplings she made from time to time.

Wang Hongmei's eyes were focused on remembering the dumplings where her mother-in-law had hidden the coins.

The girls in the family gathered together and cut window grilles with red paper.

Jin Bao and others carried a few firecrackers and happily went out to the village to play with their friends. Even Hei Dan Tiedan followed happily.
