Li Yan walked out of the house and felt very aggrieved. The man who was almost forty actually had a little thought of crying.

He doesn't understand, did he do something wrong? Did he do something wrong?

Since I was a child, I was the one I didn’t like, I ate leftovers of others and worn-out clothes. Sometimes I trembled with grievances, and my mother scolded me, saying, “You are not good to go with that Biaozi, and go ask him for it. He has money and is not easy to come by.”

Why is it not easy for Uncle Wu’s money to come? If someone has a salary, he is not a good person? Everyone is poor, but if Uncle Wu has a little money, he is not easy for him?

Later, Uncle Wu sent him to a labor and technical school with his connections. After graduation, he had a job and his mother took all his salary away and did not leave it to him at all. Until he got married, he had no savings and his mother didn't even pay a meal. Uncle Wu took the money to buy his wedding supplies and invited his wife and family to have a meal.

After getting married, I had to pay 10 yuan a month to honor my mother, but at that time I only had a salary of 27 yuan a month.

When Xiaokai was born, filial piety rose to twenty yuan because his salary increased to 38 yuan, and his family was making money. It was ridiculous. A big man, who had insufficient milk, had to accept the help of his father-in-law and his fifth uncle because of his wife.

well……

"Fourth brother, what's wrong?" Li Xin looked at his depressed brother and walked over and asked.

"It's okay, I've said a few words to my mother, but I don't like to listen to it."

"Because Xiao Wu borrowed money?"

"Yeah." Li Yan nodded slightly.

"We are so old lady, I don't know what we think. OK, my mother can't care about it, just don't lend it. It's impossible for you to expect them to pay back the money, just pretend it's wasted." Li Xin shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't point to them, I just felt a little uncomfortable."

"What's wrong with this couple? They are more greedy and lazy. They just rely on this little family affection to spend their lives. Sooner or later, they will harm themselves. Let's use the 4,000 yuan as a lesson. But what I don't understand is that I'll tell you what they have borrowed money, why do you lend it to them?"

"Oh, didn't Xiaokai have a little awkward last year with Lao Wu? Later, when Lao Wu borrowed money, he always mentioned this in his mouth. I didn't want to turn it up again, so I gave her six hundred."

"Xiao Qier was still a little impulsive about that incident. It was a little bit of a big deal, but it was better for a child to be more impulsive. Xiaohui was still suffering from the Xu family. Xu Chuanzong came yesterday, kowtowed and promised that he wanted to take Xiaohui back. I ignored him. Let's talk about it after fifteen. It's impossible for him to take someone back so easily."

"I can't go back. After the fifteenth, let them come and pick up Xiaohui with great fanfare." Li Yan said in agreement.

"Dad, I'm here. Hello Uncle." Li Kai entered the yard and saw that Li Yan and his brothers were talking, and ran over happily.

"Xiao Qi'er is here. I just told your father that you have worked hard on your elder sister."

"He is a child, and he knows nothing. The blind cat has met a dead mouse. Besides, the family matter is not worth thanking." Li Yan rushed to take over the conversation.

"That's right, why do you need to thank me for my elder sister?" Li Kai nodded quickly, "Where are my elder brother, third brother and sister Hui?"

"Your elder brother hasn't gotten off work yet. The leader returns to his hometown for the New Year. He has to send his leader back first before it is considered a holiday. Your third brother is wiping the car. He has been wiping the broken car for a day, and the back groove gang can be used as a mirror. Your elder sister doesn't want to come here, saying she is afraid of embarrassing. In fact, there is nothing shameful about it, it's just that she can't figure it out." Li Xin said.

"The second brother and the others are not here either, I will be the first one to arrive."

"It's enough to have your aunt and the others in the New Year's Eve dinner. A bunch of brats can't help even if they come, and they will cause trouble." Li Xin said.

"Forget it, you guys are chatting, I have to go get some hands on it. There are so many people and great power." Li Kai said and went to the Westing House kitchen.

"You can educate your children. These are not enough in your hometown. You seem to be smart and are all playing tricks on the spot." Looking at Li Kai who was leaving, Li Xin patted Li Yan on the shoulder, "You are a blessed person, and you will be blessed in the future."

"I hope you can lend me a good word."

After Li Kai entered the kitchen, the male members of the Li family also came one after another.

Li Yu and Li Yue went to clean my aunt's house. Before the New Year, each household had to do a major cleaning. Li Yao went back to the Li family on the thirty day every year, and this task naturally fell on children like Li Kai and others. However, cleaning at Li Yao's house is unique, that is, the owner does not participate in the operation, and only requires command and acceptance. Moreover, if the cleaning cannot be completed in the morning, then go back to his own house for dinner and continue to do it in the afternoon.

So after a few times, the children were unwilling to go. On this day, they found various reasons to escape. In the end, only Li Yu and Li Yue had to go under the order of their father.

Li Kai never participated in this activity, and the reason was very positive: study, yes, it is study, and you must persist in studying on New Year's Eve.

Li Huai has been there once and never went again. There is no reason, so he is busy playing. He can't bear to beat me up, let alone beat me up.

The New Year’s Eve banquet is two big tables, with men and women separated, and the dishes on both sides are the same. The difference is that the men have wine on the table, while the women have only boiled water on the table.

Li Kai took a few simple bites, quietly greeted Li Yan, and left early.

When he returned to Li Qianjin's house, Li Kai quickly made the New Year's Eve dinner because the preparations were already half-finished. With Chang Dalong taking action, soon a table of delicious and delicious mats were completed.

The three grandparents and grandchildren sat around the dining table, and Li Qianjin asked, "Today is New Year's Eve. Do you guys and boys want to have a drink with me?"

"No, my brother said, you are not allowed to smoke and drink until you are eighteen years old."

"Okay, okay, then I won't drink it anymore. Let's eat the dishes and try your brother's skills. What kind of dish is this?" Li Qianjin smiled and skipped the suggestion of drinking.

"Grandpa, this means 'cabbage dumplings' to 'hundred wealth Jiaozi', which means that New Year's Eve is on Jiaozi. Eating this product can ensure that hundreds of wealth will gather in the next year. Grandpa, you can eat a little bit of this dish, which is full of lean meat, and I chop it very fine, which will not add any burden to your stomach and gallbladder."

"Okay, okay, I'll try one," Li Qianjin took the small bowl handed over by Li Kai and bit it halfway through the bowl. "Well, it's delicious, delicious, silly boy, try it quickly. It tastes good, but it's a little oily, I'm afraid that you won't satisfy your appetite if you eat it."

"What are you doing when you eat such a big oil? You need to keep your health. You have to start with the baby. Big Dragon will try it quickly." Li Kai picked up one for Chang Dalong and put it in a bowl.

Dalong quickly picked it up and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, "It's delicious."

"It's delicious, try this water-boiled silver carp ball, grandpa, you can eat it too." The praise from diners made the chef feel the most satisfied, and Li Kai began to introduce the next dish.

...

"Fourth, go to my place to stay in the evening." As soon as Li Miao lent the New Year's Eve dinner, he saw Li Yan walking out and followed him out.

"No, I'll go to Uncle Wu, Xiao Kai and the others are there, I'll spend the rest of my life with them."

"Okay, I'll send you there. I haven't seen Uncle Wu for a few days."

The Li family who received the greatest favor from Li Qianjin is Li Yan and Li Miao. Needless to say, Li Yan was raised by Li Qianjin, and they were like father and son.

After Li Miao graduated from junior high school, he had been working at home. In 1967, Li Qianjin's former troops were ordered to enter Ancheng. Li Qianjin asked his old comrades to send 19-year-old Li Miao into the army. Li Miao stayed in the army for six years and joined the party. After retirement, he returned to the Fuyang production team at that time, and became the militia company commander and director of the management and security.

When the two of them entered Li Qianjin's house, they heard Li Qianjin laughing and said, "You little brat, why are you so bad? Cough cough."

The two of them pushed the door and entered the room, watching the three grandparents and grandchildren chatting happily while eating.

"Uncle Fifth, what makes you so happy?" Li Yan asked.

"You are here, you are not this bad guy in your family. It's so gaugh, just making me laugh. Have you eaten it? Do you want to have some more? Today is the skill of a stinky egg." Li Qianjin said with a smile.

"Xiao Qier's craftsmanship? You have to try it." Li Miao continued.

Chang Dalong had brought two stools and placed them at the dining table.

"What kind of dish is this? It looks very popular, with only three left in a plate." Li Miao saw "Baicai Jiaozi" at first sight.

"This is called 'Hundred Favors Jiaozi', which means to accumulate wealth."

"Yeah, not bad, Lao Si, try it now."

"That's right, no matter how late you come, you won't be able to see these people." Li Qianjin shook his head up and down happily.

"Xiao Qier, how did you do this thing?"

"It's quite simple. Chop the pork into filling. Grandpa Wu's stomach and gallbladder are not very good, and there is less oil and salt. So the pure lean meat I used is fine. The pork filling is marinated with salt and a small amount of soy sauce and pepper water. Take the upper part of the cabbage leaves, blanch it in water, then wrap it with the meat filling, and steam it in a pan. After steaming, pour the water in the plate into a bowl, add a small amount of flour noodles to it, boil it into a sauce, and pour it evenly on the dishes."

"Who did you learn from?" Li Yan asked in confusion.

"I thought about it myself. Grandpa Wu has a bad stomach and has gallstones, so there are many foods that are avoided. I want him to take more nutrition and want him to like it, so I can only think about it myself. This Baicai Jiaozi, this water-boiled fish balls, steamed hairtail, and honey and mashed potatoes are all things that Grandpa Wu can eat, with less oil, less salt, low fat and high protein. There are too few fresh vegetables in winter, otherwise I can figure out other tricks." Li Kai introduced.

"...You are intent." Li Yan looked at Li Kai with relief.

"Silly boy, there is wine in the high and low cabinet of grandpa's house. Go and get it for me and get the white porcelain bottle." Li Qianjin was moved, and his eyes were a little red. He really wanted to have a drink.

Take the wine bottle from Chang Dalong and said while Kaifeng: "Moutai, I saw it. Today I'm a good deal for you guys."

This bottle of wine was brought by Mr. Huang at the time. He brought two bottles and made one on the spot. The remaining bottle of Li Qianjin has been kept.

Li Qianjin wanted to pour wine for everyone, Li Miao brothers quickly stood up and gave in, saying, "I dare not, I dare not."

Li Kai took the wine bottle from Li Qianjin and filled the three nine-cent small cups, "Grandpa, you can't drink too much. You are afraid of wine in your heart, liver, lungs, stomach, kidneys and gallbladders. I'm happy today, you must not ignore it."

"Okay, listen to my good grandson, just one cup."

"It seems that we are the ones who are covered by Xiaoqier today, otherwise Uncle Wu would not be willing to take out the good wine." Li Miao joked.

"Good wine can't block your mouth. Didn't you drink it there?"

"Drink, but you can drink half a pound of such a good wine."

"San Uncle, don't, I heard that Maotai is drunk and vomited even if I vomited," Li Kai said.

"Hehe, you kid. Come on, the fourth brother, let's respect the fifth uncle together. Uncle Wu, I wish you good health and a long life."

"Okay, okay, all are in good health."

After the two sat down, Li Qianjin suddenly asked, "Did Xiaokai tell you about that?"

Li Miao and Li Yan looked at each other, then looked at Li Kai together, "What's the matter?"
