Chapter 408 Gala

Xu Haiyang and the others were finally dragged away by their parents while crying.

Looking at the backs of his children and grandchildren leaving, Xu Chenghou couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"What do you think the children can do if they stay? Are we not their grandpa and grandma? Can we still abuse the children?

The fifth daughter-in-law, isn’t her natal family also in Donggang?

Even if she doesn't come back to us in the second year of junior high school, she won't return to her mother's house in the third year of junior high school? It's time to take the child away. "

"On the other side of the fourth child, Hua'er got engaged on the sixth day of the new year, even if they don't come back to pick up the child, the third child and his wife can bring the child back when they return to the camp.

This one must make the child cry. Look at how the child is crying? "

The old man felt sorry for his grandchildren, so he couldn't help but toot.

"Hey, they are the parents of the child, what can we say?

It is said that the child does not kiss us, and every time he comes back, he will leave as quickly as if he is picking up a fire. Can the child kiss us?

Didn't you hear Haiyang talking about his grandparents all day long? The Wu family is close, of course they are close. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Guilan was also dissatisfied, but what's the use?

Children can't help their mothers. After marrying a daughter-in-law, they have to listen to their daughter-in-law.

It's useless for the old couple to babble any more, so they simply don't think about it. It's important to pack up and prepare for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Shiyan still took his wife and children home to celebrate the New Year.

Compared with previous years, there is less Xu Shiqin at home, and Zhou Guilan had to say a few words during the reunion dinner at night.

"Or do you say that you have to raise a son? Anyway, the son will marry a daughter-in-law to enter the house and add more people to the family.

This girl is not good. After more than 20 years of raising her, she finally became a family member. "

"Okay, old woman, you, don't say anything, daughters and daughters are the same.

son? Raising a son depends on whether there is a good daughter-in-law. As for the five sons in our family, the one who comes back to accompany us for the New Year is not the third one?

Come on, let’s not talk about those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, come, come, eat vegetables. Haiqing, come, this fish is delicious. "

Xu Chenghou doesn't like to mention those things. If he has the time to think about it, he might as well coax his grandson to eat more.

"Hurry up and eat, you can only watch TV after finishing the rice in the bowl.

I heard there is a gala this year? Let's make dumplings earlier in a while, and save time to watch the party. "

Compared with previous years, this year's New Year's Eve is even more exciting. The main reason is that the Xu family has a TV.

Ever since he learned that there will be a gala on New Year's Eve, Xu Chenghou has been looking forward to watching the gala on TV.

"I know, I know, don't worry, I've chopped the minced meat ahead of time, and I'll chop some vegetables and noodles after dinner.

You don’t have to start making dumplings until six o’clock, so you can keep them so you can watch the gala. "

Not only Xu Chenghou is thinking about it, Zhou Guilan is also thinking about it, so the preparations for making dumplings have been done early this year.

As soon as the party was mentioned, the whole family cheered up, and the children ate quickly.

After the reunion dinner, I was supposed to rest for a while, but I will not rest now.

Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan hurriedly found melon seeds, pine nuts, and hazelnuts, stir-fried them in a large pot, and kept them for the guests.

Su Anying grabbed a few babies, and the Westinghouse was burning hot, so they had to take a bath and change clothes for the New Year.

Zhou Guilan chops vegetables, kneads noodles, adjusts stuffing, and prepares to make dumplings.

It was less than six at half past five, everything was ready, Xu Shiyan rolled the skin, Su Anying and Zhou Guilan made dumplings.

Xu Chenghou coaxed the two young ones not to make trouble, Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping both washed their hands, and ran to serve as dumpling legs, helping to arrange dumplings, press cakes, etc.

This time, Zhou Guilan didn't require that the medicine must be picked up by hand, that would be too slow.

Still use a knife to cut quickly, raise the knife with your hand, and cut out uniform white and fat noodles one by one.

Sprinkle thin noodles and flatten them, roll them thin with a rolling pin, wrap them with meat stuffing mixed with cabbage and radish, and the rows of white and fat dumplings are finished.

Not only the Xu family wanted to make dumplings in advance to watch TV, but other people also thought so.

Especially those who don’t have a TV at home and have to go to other people’s houses to watch TV, they all start making dumplings early.

It was less than eight o'clock, and the Xu family's dumplings were all wrapped.

Fearing that the dumplings would be left on the curtain for a long time, Zhou Guilan simply found a white cloth to cover the dumplings, and took them outside.

The dumplings in this cold weather are put outside, and they will freeze hard in a short time. When the dumplings are cooked at night, they will be brought back to the pot and eaten directly.

As soon as the dumplings were brought out and the panel was cleaned up, the dog outside started barking.

As soon as I went out, many people from the neighbors came to see the party.

"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, Happy New Year, I wish you a New Year in advance.

Well, I heard there is a gala tonight? We'll be at your house tonight. "Someone laughed after entering the door.

"I didn't bring anything, these are freshly fried melon seeds, and this is the tea given by my relatives.

Later, let’s make a pot of tea and watch the party while drinking tea and cracking melon seeds. "

Those who are particular about it, come here with something. After all, it’s not good to come with nothing empty-handed.

"Oh, look at you, why are you being polite? We have everything at home, just come here."

Xu Chenghou saw it, and he had to be polite, and then asked Su Anying to make a pot of tea, put the kang table, and someone came to sit on the kang, watching TV while drinking tea.

The party started not long after, and people watching TV came in an endless stream.

People who rarely come to watch TV on weekdays, came to join in the fun tonight.

In the room of the Xu family, don’t worry about the kang being on the floor, it’s full of people, so there’s really no place to stand.

The Spring Festival Gala in 1985 was changed to the gymnasium, and it was broadcast live.

It was the first time for the female host to wear a suit skirt, while the male host wore a red shirt and white suit, which was refreshing.

Although there were many situations in the live broadcast, the people who watched the gala for the first time in front of the TV watched it with gusto, and were so amused by some funny programs that they leaned forward and laughed together until they couldn't straighten up.

I saw that it was past eleven o'clock, and the party wasn't over yet, but it was time to cook dumplings.

Most people are reluctant to leave, and leave after every step. There are also some children who refuse to leave no matter what, and have to finish watching.

Zhou Guilan and Su Anying went to light a fire to boil the dumplings, while Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan went outside to set up the heaven and earth table and offerings, put the dumplings inside, and put whip paper outside.

If it were in previous years, before the firecrackers were set off, the children couldn't wait to watch the fireworks.

It didn’t happen at all this year, Xu Haiyuan and the others were all watching TV in the house, and no one came out.

If the children don’t come out, those flash mines and colorful pearls bought in advance will be useless.

Xu Chenghou and his son simply put two, and then entered the house with the basket.

As soon as this end entered the house, the daughter-in-law of the neighbor's family hurried over, grabbed her child's ears, and dragged the child away.

"I don't know when it is? Are you eating dumplings and watching TV? Why, you still want to eat at your grandpa Xu's house? Hurry up and go home."

The aggressive daughter-in-law scolded the child while walking.

The child was caught by the mother, and while begging for mercy, the child had to watch the TV.

It wasn't until he was dragged out of the house that he reluctantly went home.
