After the new year's Eve dinner, the sun still hasn't set. Xie Yunhua and Guo Xiang help clean up. Wang Guiying goes to the kitchen to prepare new year's fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, etc.
At this time, it is usually bought raw and fried at home.
After frying, put it away in a jar and take some out to eat when there are guests.
Wang Guiying also fried some fruits made of sweet potatoes. There were the most sweet potatoes at home. In previous years, they usually made dried sweet potatoes directly.
Now life is better and I bought a lot of vegetable oil.
Steam the sweet potato, peel and press it into mud, add rice flour, knead it into a ball, then knead it into various shapes such as hemp, and then fry it, fragrant and crisp.
Shen Meng sniffed the smell of the kitchen and swallowed.
Gu Zhendong couldn't help laughing and took out some of the fried first for her to eat.
"Beware of scalding!"
Shen Meng picked one and pinched it into the shape of a flower. When she bit it, it was crisp and crisp. "It's delicious!"
"Don't eat too much. Be careful to have a sore throat later!" Xie Yunhua shouted aside.
Guo Xiang smiled, took the tea out to make tea and brought the freshly fried peanuts and melon seeds. We sat together and chatted while eating melon seeds.
"I've never had such an early New Year's Eve dinner!" Xie Yunhua said with a smile.
In previous years, I was busy. Sometimes I had to go back to the hospital for surgery when there was an emergency on New Year's Eve. This year, I finally had a leisurely new year.
Now Shen Qingshan has reason to ask for leave here.
He is still a shareholder in the factory, and there is no dividend for the time being. However, his salary is three times that of the past. In a few months, he gets the money he used to do for a year, and the economy is much better.
Moreover, the company also equipped him with a car. When he drove back, he was so proud. Everyone said that Mr. Shen had become a big boss and was envious.
She was very glad that she had supported her husband's decision, and especially admired the young couple. They were so young, capable and courageous that they could not have succeeded without their own husband.
And I feel that they have a good character when I get in touch with them, so if Mengmeng really has an object with Gu Zhendong, she can rest assured.
Gu Zhendong took a bath and changed into new clothes.
Shen Meng simply took her clothes and took a bath here. The facilities of the educated youth point are not so perfect and it is not convenient for her to take care of her family.
After taking a bath, they chucked a handful of melon seeds and went out to play hand in hand.
Wang Guiying finished her work and took turns to take a bath with Guo'er.
Guo Xiang and his family sat in the living room, burning charcoal pots, chatting and eating melon seeds.
At more than eight o'clock, Shen Qingshan and his family were going back. They got up and left.
Guo Xiang brought them an induction cooker, and Wang Guiying packed a lot of fruits and melon seeds for them to take back to eat.
Ji Changlin also got some and induction cooker.
When they were finished, Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan washed their faces and feet and went back to the house.
It was so cold that both of them were in bed.
"Another year!" Gu Zhennan held Guo Xiang with a little emotion.
"Yes!" Guo Xiang nodded and thought that last year was still this time. It was the first time for the two talents to round the house. It was a year ago. It was so fast.
It's been nearly two years since I passed through. Everything else is very good except my parents. After all, I'm open and hanging up. If it's bad again, I'm sorry to pass through this identity.
"Daughter in law, I feel very happy now!" Gu Zhennan looked down at his beloved woman. Her eyes were bright, like thousands of stars.
"Me too!" Guo Xiang looked up and looked at the man's handsome face. He was glad he could meet him through.
Gu Zhennan lowered her head and kissed Guo Xiang's lips. She closed her eyes and immersed in his tenderness.
……
The sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve lasted all night, making it difficult for people to sleep well. Gu Zhennan covered Guo Xiang's ears and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Early the next morning, the whole family got out of bed, put on new clothes and took on a new look.
Gu Zhendong set off New Year firecrackers and everyone had breakfast together.
Guo Xiang prepared several red envelopes for Guo'er and Gu Zhendong.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Guo'er happily took the red envelope. Her sister-in-law has a lot of red envelope money. She likes it best.
"Sister in law, I don't need it. I'm in college." Gu Zhendong is a little embarrassed.
"I'm still a child when I go to college. When you have a job, I don't want to give it to you." Guo Xiang said with a smile.
"Take it!" Gu Zhennan said.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Gu Zhendong blushed and received the red envelope.
Wang Guiying's Guo Xiang asked Gu Zhennan to give money, so he didn't give a red envelope.
After the family had dinner, Guo Xiang asked, "are you going to pay New Year's greetings today?"
"I won't go today. The weather is fine. Let's go out for a walk." Gu Zhennan said.
"Why don't we go to the factory?" Guo Xiang said that the new cement plant has not been there yet.
"Shall I ask Mr. Shen to go with me?" Gu Zhendong said that he actually wanted to ask Shen Meng to play together.
"Good!" Guo Xiang smiled.
After a while, Shen Qingshan and his wife came to the door with two bottles of wine and a bag of rock sugar. "Sister Wang, I'll pay you a new year!"
Wang Guiying is the oldest here, so Shen Qingshan and them first come to pay a new year's call.
"Hey, Mr. Shen, it's very kind!" Wang Guiying smiled.
The three sat down and drank some tea, then got up and went to the cement factory together.
There are too many people to sit down. Gu Zhennan used to drive teacher Shen's car. He can't drive. Usually, Zhang Deyang drives.
Zhang Deyang used to drive a truck. After buying a car, he let him drive a car and recruited a truck driver.
Guo Xiang drives his own car.
Shen Meng was very novel when she saw him and clamored to take Guo Xiang's car.
Guo'er and Gu Zhendong also take this car.
Wang Guiying is at home. I'm afraid it would be bad if there were no guests at home.
"Sister Guo Xiang, how can you drive?" Shen Meng is very curious. Few people can drive at this time, let alone women.
"Yes, you can, but you're not in a hurry. Wait until after work." Guo Xiang said while driving.
"My sister-in-law is great. She can do anything!" Guo'er is very proud. It seems that she won't be without her sister-in-law.
Guo Xiang smiled and touched Guo er's head.
"Sister Meng Meng, do you think my clothes are beautiful?" Guo Er touched his clothes and couldn't put it down.
"Beautiful!" Shen Meng smiles.
"My sister-in-law bought it!" Guo'er looked proud.
Shen Meng laughed, "I'll buy it for you when I have money!"
"Does sister Mengmeng want to be my second sister-in-law?" Asked Guo er.
Shen Meng blushed. Unexpectedly, Guo'er dug a hole for himself here.
Gu Zhendong hooked up the corners of his mouth and secretly held her hand in his hand.
Guo Xiang glanced at Guo ER and raised his eyebrows. Guo Er is good!
Guo er's eyes narrowed into a pair of curved moons with a smile.
"Sister in law, is it difficult to learn to drive?" Gu Zhendong shifted the topic to ease Shen Meng's embarrassment.
He is a boy and wants to learn to drive. He can use it in his future work.
"It's not difficult. It's mainly to find a good master." Guo Xiang said that at this time, there was no driving school, so he had to find a master to learn.
"I heard from my father that brother Zhang is very good. He used to be a soldier and drives steadily. You can learn from him in the future." Shen Meng said.
"Good!" Gu Zhendong nodded.
