Chapter 247

Chu Shan called Qingqing and Tuantuan to help pluck the chicken. Tuantuan had never seen this operation before, so he ran over immediately, and Qingqing also went to help. The father and son quickly plucked a chicken. Tuantuan was still a little unsatisfied, turned his gaze to the few ducks that hadn't been killed, and asked Chu Shan, "Dad, do you want that duck?"

Chu Shan really wanted to kill another duck, and after hearing what Tuantuan said, she asked him to come over to help catch the duck's feet, and let him bleed.

Yuanyuan took a look and was unwilling to approach, but Luo Manqing saw that she was afraid and refused to let her see, so she took her to choose vegetables.

Duck feathers are harder to remove than chicken feathers. Tuantuan was very excited at the beginning, but he couldn't bear it later, but after taking a look at Qingqing, he found that he had no intention of slipping away. After thinking about it, it was not easy to go. Working hard with a steamed bun face.

Chu Shan glanced at him, couldn't help laughing, and then chatted with them, talking about the fun things he used to do when he was a child.

Children are full of curiosity, and they also have a desire to inquire about their parents. They want to know whether they were the same as themselves when they were young, whether they also cried and so on.

Qingqing and Tuantuan are still very willing to listen to some interesting past events.

Luo Manqing heard from Chu Shan that when he was a child, he turned out to be a sensible and enthusiastic child. He helped others deliver milk, saved part of his rations for his friends, went to other people's houses to help boil water, do handicrafts, and so on.

Yuanyuan raised her head and asked Luo Manqing, "Mom, was Dad really like this when he was a child?"

Luo Manqing: "I don't know, I didn't know him when he was a child."

At this moment, the old lady also came out to help peel the garlic. When she heard Yuanyuan's words, she smiled and said, "Your father is really like this. When you were young, your grandfather was still there. He worked in a meat joint factory, and the conditions at home were not bad. He At that time, I didn’t know that life was hard, so I often used things at home to help those little friends.”

Then he smiled again: "Your mother probably moved here when she was eight or nine years old. Although she shares the same school as your father, they are not in the same class because of their age difference. They didn't know each other at that time."

Luo Manqing's heart moved when she heard this. The setting in this book was the same as in her previous life. She remarried with her mother and came to the Song family when she was nine years old.

It's just that in the previous life, there was no Chu Shan, and there were no childhood sweethearts.

But this old lady is quite clear.

Yuanyuan asked, "When did Mom meet Dad?"

The old lady glanced at Luo Manqing with a smile, and said: "Then I have to ask my mother, the old lady doesn't know."

Then Yuanyuan looked at Luo Manqing with curiosity.

Luo Manqing replied: "When I was growing up."

This sentence can be regarded as satisfying Yuanyuan's curiosity.

Chu Shan quickly finished handling the chickens and ducks. Qingqing and Tuantuan also felt a sense of accomplishment when they saw that they were helping with a job. Seeing if there was any work that could be done to help, Chu Shan assigned tasks to them all without hesitation, saying that they would be rewarded with big drumsticks if they completed them well.

The old lady smiled and said to Luo Manqing when she saw it: "It seems that boys like to stay with daddy more, but Yuanyuan likes to follow you."

Luo Manqing thinks it's better to watch the child or the father. The father's relationship with the child determines whether the child wants to be with him. She asked Yuanyuan next to him if she wanted to follow her, but Yuanyuan shook her head.

This child is indeed a little more clingy to her.

For the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, and mutton are prepared. Luo Manqing plans to help cook a fish. The rest depends on how Chu Shan cooks, but the old lady has already stewed the mutton in the afternoon. .

At this moment, the smell of mutton is also wafting in the yard.

Luo Manqing felt that the Chu family's New Year's Eve dinner at this moment was really too rich. She remembered that when she was a child, it was also in the 90s, and she just killed a chicken, and there was no such thing as mutton and shrimp.

After Chu Shan dipped the whole chicken into the water, the old lady came out with a whole bamboo basket, and then prepared incense candles and ingot paper, saying that she would take the chicken to worship the ancestors before eating.

Luo Manqing was also a little stunned when she saw her operation. She didn't expect this kind of moving operation in this city. She remembered that it was only in her grandmother's village.

After the old lady finished here, she asked Chu Shan to come over and help set off the firecrackers.

Luo Manqing was most afraid of setting off firecrackers. She was afraid of the sound, so she quickly took the child away, covered her ears before letting Chu Shan move.

Seeing her like this, Chu Shan said, "Forget it, actually it's fine if you don't let her go."

The old lady shot him a look, "I only came back once in two years, so I will definitely release it, and let your grandpa and mother know, everyone is back for the New Year."

Chu Shan was a little helpless, he walked a long distance before setting off the firecrackers.

After completing this set of operations, Chu Shan went to chop chicken and duck meat, and Luo Manqing took the children to wash the vegetables in the yard. It was Chu Shan who boiled hot water for them to wash.

Qingqing and Tuantuan didn't like washing vegetables very much, otherwise they would play while washing and almost wet their clothes, so Luo Manqing asked them to help the old lady peel garlic.

Chu Ge came out to post couplets after burning the duck, and called the triplets to help.

The triplets all liked this job, so they hurried over to help apply the glue.

It was already evening, and the sun was still a little afterglow. There was smoke rising from the houses of every family, the sound of setting off firecrackers, and the cheers of children.

Seeing that the hot water on the coal stove was boiling, the old lady said to Luo Manqing, "Let the child take a bath first."

Luo Manqing saw that there were children on the street who had already bathed and changed into new clothes for the New Year, and they were calling friends to show off.

She remembered that when she was a child, she seemed to be like this too. She changed into new clothes after taking a bath on the night of New Year's Eve.

The triplets all bought New Year's clothes, one person had two sets, and they were all in festive colors. Luo Manqing poured hot water for the triplets and took them to take a bath. The two boys could have a bath by themselves. Wash, after they finished washing, Luo Manqing washed Yuanyuan again, and put them in new clothes and shoes.

Both boys have a pair of sneakers, and the round ones are a pair of princess leather shoes. The shoes of the three of them all have a common point. When they step on the soles, the lights will light up.

Luo Manqing remembered that she also wore such shoes when she was a child. When she went back to her grandma's house for New Year's greetings, she stole the limelight in their village.

Now the triplets are very proud when they put it on, and they immediately ran to the neighbor's house to show off to their friends whom they just met.

But some children were envious, and one of them even clamored for his mother to buy it.

At this moment, Luo Manqing was looking at the child outside the door, and the parent who was crying by the child came over, chatted with Luo Manqing, and asked her where she bought these shoes by the way.
