Chapter 90 People come and go, New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year
After Liu Guangtian, his elder brother and his two sisters-in-law drank a glass of wine together, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Qin Jingru had no aversion to He Yushui.
From the bottom of her heart, Qin Jingru felt that she was a little sorry for He Yushui. He Yushui and Zhang Dongliang were childhood sweethearts, but she had separated them.
Brother Dongliang was engaged to me, and he was going to marry me. He Yushui could only follow behind him in humiliation, as she had already taken great advantage of him.
He Yushui is the person Qin Jingru accepts the most. He Yushui is also very kind-hearted and gets along very well with Qin Jingru.
If He Yushui wasn't still in school, Qin Jingru would have persuaded her brother Dongliang to accept her.
After a few drinks, Liu Guangtian said goodbye. He couldn't stand here any longer and ruin the good time for his elder brother and his two sisters-in-law.
I opened the door and was about to go out when I almost bumped into someone. Who was it? Shazhu.
Sha Zhu spent the New Year at home with his wife and her daughter. No one drank with him, so they ate the New Year's Eve dinner very quickly.
Not feeling full after finishing his meal, Sha Zhu thought about drinking a little more, so he strolled to Zhang Dongliang in the front yard.
Liu Guangtian said hello and left, and Sha Zhu also came in and sat down.
Sha Zhu is not Liu Guangtian. Liu Guangtian thinks that delicious food is awesome. Sha Zhu is a chef. When he looks at the dishes on the table, he can tell at a glance that there is a dish he has never seen before.
"What kind of dish is this, Brother Dongliang?"
"Boiled fish. Haven't you ever made it?"
“No, I’ve never seen this practice.”
Zhang Dongliang thought about it carefully and realized that this dish might not have existed at that time. The later method of boiling fish appeared after 83, and pickled fish became popular after 90.
Boiled fish consumes too much oil. Where can they get so much oil to waste at this time?
In addition, pickled fish might not have appeared in that era. For some reason, Shazhu did not ask about pickled fish when we had dinner at the end of 58.
"This dish is very simple~~" Zhang Dongliang told Sha Zhu the general method of making boiled fish.
Sha Zhu shook his head after hearing this: "This wastes too much oil. If you cook this dish in a small canteen, you will be scolded to death."
"Then you should eat more today."
Sha Zhu picked up the fish and tasted it: "You are quite good."
Of course, this was made by a restaurant chef in later generations, so of course it’s not bad, but I won’t tell you.
Looking at the table full of delicious food and good wine, Sha Zhu felt that he should have come earlier.
When I was drinking happily with Sha Zhu, someone else came. Who was it? Qin Huairu. Qin Jingru saw her cousin coming again and kept muttering in her heart, "She really takes advantage of me."
Why is Qin Huairu here again?
The Jia family's New Year's Eve dinner was not sumptuous. Apart from the pork head that Qin Huairu brought back as the main dish, there was nothing special about the other dishes.
Before Qin Huairu finished cooking, the pig's head was eaten up by Jia Zhang and Bang Geng.
Of course, Qin Huairu didn't bother to compete with them. She usually ate well at Zhang Dongliang's place. Today, she didn't have enough food and wanted to eat more, so she came back.
Qin Huairu walked in. Although a lot of food had been eaten on the table, she regretted it as soon as she saw the appearance of the food. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had lost 100 million yuan.
I didn’t get to enjoy such a delicious meal today. How come I was not here and I ate it all?
Fortunately, I came here tonight, otherwise I would have lost a lot. He also poured a glass of wine for Qin Huairu, and everyone drank a glass together, letting Qin Huairu eat as she pleased.
It was New Year's Day, and although Qin Jingru didn't want to see her cousin again, she didn't say anything.
After several rounds of drinking, Zhang Dongliang felt that he had drunk too much, so he went to bed without washing or taking off his clothes.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and I have to get up early in case someone comes to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhang Dongliang woke up at daybreak and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh shit, something big happened.
How could three people sleep in one bed? I quickly looked over and luckily they were all wearing tight-fitting autumn clothes. Fortunately, fortunately, it was a blessing!
Zhang Dongliang slapped Qin Jingru and Yu Shui on their buttocks and said, "What time is it? Get up quickly."
The two of them opened their eyes sleepily, without any awkward expressions. What does this mean?
He Yushui is not like those widows, or divorced women like Lou Xiaoe. She is a genuine virgin and a student.
Zhang Dongliang must not be provoked now. Once provoked, whether he marries or not, it will be a big storm.
"Sleep a little longer." He Yushui hugged Zhang Dongliang's arm, feeling drowsy and not wanting to get up.
"Hurry up and get up, someone will come to wish you a happy new year soon."
Qin Jingru and Yu Shui then got up reluctantly and prepared to have breakfast.
After breakfast, several people waited at home.
Zhang Dongliang had no intention of going out to pay New Year's greetings. He had no one in the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to.
You said you want to go to Director Wang's house to celebrate the New Year? That's definitely not possible. There are a lot of people at the leader's house right now. Besides, the leader needs to visit the leader's leader's house to celebrate the New Year.
I have already made an appointment with Director Wang not to go during the New Year period.
I got up early because I was afraid that the children in the yard would come to pay New Year's greetings, like Niu Jing and Yu Xiaowei.
Sure enough, not long after the meal, four children, Niu Jing, Niu Xiaoling, Yu Xiaohong and Yu Xiaowei, came over to wish them a happy new year.
The four children kowtowed as soon as they entered the house: "Happy New Year, Uncle Zhang, Happy New Year, Aunt Zhang, Happy New Year, Aunt Yushui."
"Okay, okay, happy New Year to the kids too."
"Come on, kids, it's time to give out red envelopes. Two for me, two for your aunt, two for Aunt Yushui, and everyone gets one. Take them."
On behalf of the three of them, Zhang Dongliang gave each of the four children a red envelope of 6 yuan as New Year's money and a string of firecrackers.
"Wow, Uncle Zhang, you gave so much~~" These children were happy, but they felt that the money was too much and they didn't dare to take it.
Zhang Dongliang put his hand to his mouth and said "hush", "Look outside, don't talk, just take it and go. Yan Jiedi is outside."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." After expressing their gratitude, the children left before Yan Jiedi entered the house.
It is impossible to give Yan Jie Di New Year's money, since we are of the same generation. But I can give some candy to the little girl, that's fine.
Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and others came to wish them a happy new year.
Zhang Dongliang was very emotional. If he was not a deputy section chief, he would be nothing in the eyes of others. How could so many people come to visit him for the New Year?
Qin Huairu also came to pay New Year's greetings, holding locust flowers and carrying sticks.
Zhang Dongliang's family usually refuses to let Banggeng in, which is fine. But if you refuse to let people in when they come to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Day, that's a bit too much.
Banggeng was still a little afraid of coming to Zhang Dongliang's house.
One was afraid of Zhang Dongliang because he was an official, and the other was afraid of his aunt, who would beat him up if he dared to come.
Mom said it was okay to come today because they still had to give themselves New Year's money, so Banggeng followed mom here today.
"Happy New Year to my uncle, Happy New Year to my aunt, Happy New Year to Aunt Rainwater."
Banggeng is actually a very smart kid. After bowing his head, he stood up, his eyes rolling around, looking at the furnishings in the room.
It’s a pity that this child’s intelligence is often used in the wrong place.
For Qin Huairu's sake, Zhang Dongliang gave Banggeng 5 yuan as New Year's money and two strings of firecrackers. "Go and play with them. Don't stay here and get in the way."
Bang Geng was hoping for this and rushed out with firecrackers in his hand.
