At the end of December, the weather was already very cold, and it happened that the triplets were also on winter vacation, so Qiaolian no longer took Xuanbao to the camp, but left him to play at home.

Anyway, there are triplets coaxing, and there are some interesting toys prepared at home, and this baby can stay at home to play safely, not to mention that they have to go out because they are noisy.

Jiasheng Jiaxiang is almost not idle as soon as he has a holiday, he drills into the mountains every day, collects firewood, hunts, and does whatever he can, without worrying about his family.

As for Jiaying, needless to say, she and Yushu took care of the two babies at home, washing clothes and cooking, which saved Qiaolian a lot of trouble, and she didn't have to rush home to cook after work.

With children helping at home, Qiaolian and Qu Weiyang can also relax.

Just in time for the busy time of the previous year, the couple was busy all day, and they got off work much later than usual.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, most of the wax moon has passed.

On the 21st day of the lunar month, the commune fished, and the 22nd killed the pigs, and each family shared the money, as well as fish and meat.

In addition, in the past two years, every household has been allowed to engage in a small family side business, and the New Year's flavor of Daying Commune is much stronger than anywhere else.

"Mom, I discussed with Mei Lin that I want to go to the provincial capital for the New Year this year.

Didn't Meilin's brother and sister-in-law come back for the New Year? Meilin hasn't seen them for several years, and says she wants to go home and have a reunion with her family. ”

Jiakang helped deliver the fish and meat and dividends from the Qu family, and then hesitated for a long time, and finally came up with these two sentences.

"Go back to the provincial capital for the New Year?" Qiao Lian was bowing her head to write a report, and when she heard this, she glanced up at Jiakang.

"Jiakang, the Xu family doesn't have anything else to pay attention to, right?

Your dad and I don't mind, you've been married to Meilin for several years, and Meilin wants to go home to spend time with her family and meet her brother and sister-in-law, I'm sure I'm okay.

But you'd better ask the Xu family about what they mean, you know? ”

Generally speaking, it is said that a married woman does not go home for the New Year, and many families mind this.

The Qu family doesn't care about those, Jiayuan has been at home for the New Year in the past few years, and the family is reunited and lively, and the atmosphere is much better than that of the younger couple and their children to celebrate the New Year by themselves.

The fact that the composer doesn't mind doesn't mean that others don't care.

Just because Jiayuan has already gotten married and returned to her parents' house for the New Year, I don't know how many people in the camp have persuaded Qiaolian, saying that this is taboo and not good for the family.

Even the Wang family and Qiaojuan have told Qiaolian several times behind their backs, and the girl who goes out is not good to return to her parents' house until the end of the New Year.

In Qiaolian's opinion, these are unnecessary, it's just a New Year, what kind of mother-in-law's family? Aren't they all the same?

Meilin hasn't been home for several years, and before that, Xu Chongjing and his family followed everyone to celebrate the New Year.

This year, the two of them have returned to the provincial capital, and the two sons of the Xu family are also coming back, and Meilin wants to go back to reunite with her brother and sister-in-law, which is also human nature.

How can Qiaolian say no? Just ask what the Xu family means, lest the Xu family have anything to pay attention to, these two people recklessly took the child back, but they were unhappy.

"Mom, the Xu family doesn't pay much attention to it, this is what Meilin's parents proposed, so I came to discuss it with my mother."

Jiakang smiled, he was not a daredevil, the Xu family didn't mention it, how could he come to his mother to discuss?

Qiao Lian nodded, "Well, since the Xu family doesn't pay much attention to it, you can go back and prepare and make a date with Mei Lin."

The workshop didn't work anymore, did it? Then let's leave early, Meilin can stay with her parents for a few more days, just to help your mother-in-law prepare for the New Year.

By the way, are you ready to bring something to the provincial capital? It's rare to go once, bring more New Year's goods. ”

"Otherwise, when I get off work later, you go back with me, and I'll give you some more strokes."

Although we don't have anything of value in the countryside, we have more food to eat.

Two days ago, Jiasheng they shot two roe deer and a deer, and they were frozen separately, and the weather was cold at this time, so you carried them and sent some to Jiayuan when the time came. ”

In fact, a while ago, Qu Weiyang had already found someone to give the Shen family and the Xu family a lot of things, such as sticky fire spoons, frozen tofu, miscellaneous grains and beans, all kinds of dried vegetables, etc.

There is no other house in the village, and these will definitely not be less, and these are still lacking in the city.

Qiaolian has always valued the most personal contacts, and she used to often find ways to give some to the Shen family, but now that the Xu family has returned to the city, she doesn't care about giving more to the Xu family.

Jiakang didn't say anything else, and when Qiaolian went home after work, Qiaolian packed up some peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts and other nuts, and brought some frozen game.

At this time, the weather was cold, and the meat was poured with water and frozen outside, and it was frozen into a big ice lump.

Now that the train is not warm in these years, these foods will not be completely melted even on the train, so you can take them with confidence.

On the morning of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Jia Kang Meilin held a child alone, and carried a lot of food on her back, and took the train to the provincial capital.

When Qiaolian got off work, she took Zhong Hanxuan and his wife home and lived in the east room.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, every family is busy, and Zhong Hanxuan and his family are not idle in the Qu family.

Zhong Hanxuan helped coax Xuanbao, Feng Cuiying and Jiaying Yushu, Zhang Luo made all kinds of food, stewed meat, steamed jujube steamed buns, fried all kinds of meatballs and dried fruits.

Jia Ying and Yu Shu really learned a lot of skills with Feng Cuiying.

Qiaolian was busy until the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and then she had time to rest, and when she went home and saw that everything was so well prepared, Qiaolian was also relieved.

"Fortunately, there is Aunt Liu, who led them to prepare so much food, no matter how many people in the family celebrate the New Year together, we should be prepared."

This year, Jiahe and his family are in the capital, Jiajun has returned to Fengcheng, and Jiayuan and Jiakang are both in the provincial capital.

There are only two Qu Weiyang left in the family, leading the three Yu Shuniang and triplets, plus Zhong Hanxuan and his wife.

Compared with the joyful and lively situation of a large family in previous years, it seems a little colder.

But no matter how cold it is, what should be prepared must also be prepared, and the New Year will be lively.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Lian led Yu Shujiaying to fry and fry in the kitchen to make a large table of delicious food.

"Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is good, come, hurry up to the top, it's not early, let's have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and we will make dumplings later."

At half past two in the afternoon, all the meals were ready, so Qiaolian called someone to hurry up and clean up the table to eat.

There are few people at home this year, and a table on the ground is enough, so Jiasheng Jiaxiang is particularly quick to serve food to the house, and the table is full in a short time.

"Yo, how many dishes are you cooking? We have few people this year, but don't do so much and can't eat. ”

Zhong Hanxuan sat on the edge of the kang, and when he saw that the table was almost full of plates, he hurriedly asked.

"Sixth uncle, don't care about the number of people, let's eat when we should, the New Year, isn't it just a celebration?

If you can't eat it, you will have leftovers, and there will be more than enough every year. ”

Qiao Lian carried a large plate containing a large carp and placed it in the table, with the head of the fish facing Zhong Hanxuan.

"Okay, the dishes are ready, let's sit down and eat."
