Chapter 38 New Year's Anecdote Five

It is popular for them to eat two meals during the Chinese New Year, that is, breakfast at nine or ten o'clock, dinner at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and lunch is omitted in the middle, and if someone is hungry in the evening, they can eat some fruits, snacks, nuts, etc. Pad the belly, then watch TV, play mahjong and poker.

Mama Ling took care of her elder sisters and sisters, and after they fell asleep, she and her aunt went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. They had a big dinner on New Year's Eve, which meant that they could not eat, spend, or spend this year. After the end, the days are getting richer and richer.There were frozen pork ribs and local chicken in the basin, and the cooked food that Ling Xiaoxiao and the others bought in the morning was also on the side, and they just waited to cut it up and heat it up before eating.Mama Ling chose the vegetables, and Auntie killed the fish. The two discussed the situation in the shop while cleaning up.

"Second sister, the girls' clothes in our store are selling very well this year, but many people of our age will also come to look for clothes, and they all say that the materials and styles of the clothes in our store are good, and the price is cheaper than those in the city. Big shopping malls are much cheaper, tell me, should we buy some clothes worn by people of our age after the Chinese New Year?" My aunt took a kitchen knife and carefully scraped the scales of the fish with the back of the knife.

At this time, Mama Ling just finished choosing a bunch of leeks, and picked up another bunch from her pocket. Leeks and stuffing will be used to make dumplings at night, and she plans to use them to scramble eggs and make vegetables for dinner later.

"I have thought about what you said before, but our store is not big. If I add other clothes, I'm afraid there will be no place to put them. Then the store will be too full, and there will be no place for customers to stroll around. suitable."

My aunt nodded in agreement after hearing this: "That's true, but I always feel that we have been selling little girls' clothes since the beginning of autumn. The clothes we wear in spring and autumn are almost the same. It won't be that easy to sell."

Mother Ling also understands this reason: "It's also the same reason. Let's see when I go to the capital to buy goods after the fifteenth day. If you want to buy clothes worn by people of our age, you really have to go around. The wholesalers over there There are too many markets, and I haven’t finished shopping all of them yet, so I’ll go around more today.”

Auntie and Mama Ling were discussing while cooking in the kitchen, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.In the small room, Ling Xiaoxiao and the others took care of the old lady and began to tidy up the test papers after she fell asleep. With the help of Ye Ling and Sun Miao, Ling Xiaoxiao tidied up quickly, and put them all in the drawer. The eldest cousin was really scared. If she was messed up again, she was afraid that she would really rush into the kitchen to get a kitchen knife. . . .

After tidying up, the three sisters chatted quietly together. Sun Miao pulled Ling Xiaoxiao's sleeve and asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you so nervous about studying in the third grade of junior high school? Your test papers are so thick."

Before Ling Xiaoxiao could speak, Ye Ling took the first step and said proudly: "Eldest sister, you don't know, my second sister has made great progress this semester, and she got No.2 in the class at the end of the semester, and her total score is also high. If we continue to work hard in the next semester, it is possible to enter Bincheng No. [-] Middle School and Fengcheng No. [-] Middle School."

When Sun Miao heard what Ye Ling said, her eyes widened in surprise: "Take the Ninth High School? Can you take the test? Isn't the Ninth High School only recruiting students in Fengcheng?"

"You don't know this. This year, the Provincial Education Commission launched a talent plan. Students from all counties and cities in the province can be admitted to Bincheng No. [-] Middle School, Fengcheng No. [-] Middle School, and Ancheng Experimental Middle School. It is the scores of these three schools. It's super high, and it's not easy to get in." Ye Ling said a little proudly, as if the person with good academic performance was herself.

Sun Miao looked at the admiration in Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes, and said happily: "Okay, Xiaoxiao, you are doing so well in your studies now, then you have to work hard, try to get into the ninth middle school, and then live in my house, and the two of us will sleep together." A bed."

Ling Xiaoxiao looks at Sun Miao and smiles. She will work hard, but her goal is only Bincheng No. [-] Middle School, but I can't say now, her grades may not be able to pass the exam, so it's better to say less boasting: "Sister, I will work hard."

The three sisters got together, talking and laughing, and time went by so fast. Amidst Ye Ling's devilish laughter, the old lady woke up, looked at them and scolded, "You three brats, you will know when you get together. Nonsense."

The aunt and aunt in the living room had already got up to help in the kitchen, and Ling Xiaoxiao could smell the cooking aroma from the kitchen while sitting in the small room.Said that she has been making trouble all afternoon, and she is really a little hungry now.

Taking care of the old lady and getting up, the four of them went out to the living room and found that the dining table had been set up and the cold dishes had been placed on it. Ling Xiaoxiao consciously went to the kitchen door to take a look, and found that she couldn't help, so she went back to the small room and started under the bed Going out to get drinks, Papa Ling's gas station gave each person a case of beer and a case of Jianlibao in cans during the Chinese New Year, and they brought them back and put them under her bed.

Seeing Ling Xiaoxiao go out to get a drink, Ye Ling jumped over happily: "Ah, second sister, there is actually Jianlibao. This is my favorite drink. It tastes better than the lychee-flavored Zhenzhen." He took it all out of his arms.

"Drink more if you like it, and if it's not enough, we'll take it out." Ling Xiaoxiao drank too many drinks in her previous life, so she wasn't that interested in Baby Ye Ling's Jianlibao.

"Sister, hasn't Shidong come back yet?" Mama Ling placed the last dish and saw that everyone was already seated, and then she remembered her wayward nephew.

Ling Xiaoxiao's aunt also reacted at this time and looked around the room, and found that her son who had never been worried was indeed not there: "This child doesn't know how to go home after going out, you eat first, I'll go out and look for it."

As he said, he took off his apron and was about to walk to the door. Dad Ling quickly got up and grabbed her: "Sister, you haven't come back for several years. You don't know what's going on in the county now. I'd better go out and look for them, young people." There are only a few places where I often go to play, I will go and have a look, don't worry, I will definitely find him back."

Hearing what Ling's father said, Ling Xiaoxiao's aunt didn't refuse much: "That's fine, Xiao Ling, don't run around the county, just look at the places where young people often play, and if there is no one, you can come back. Leave him alone."

Ling's father smiled and agreed, put on his coat and was about to go out, Ling Xiaoxiao hurried over and whispered: "Dad, my elder brother likes to join in the fun and play billiards, you can definitely find him in the biggest billiard hall."

"Okay, Dad knows, don't worry, don't you think I don't know what kind of temper your elder brother is, your dad, I will definitely catch him back in one fell swoop." Ling's father looked at his daughter's worried face, and he was worried. Comfortable again, patted her on the shoulder and turned to go out.
