Chapter 518

"Sister, shall we make dumplings?" Guo Xiang said that dumplings are indispensable for the Chinese New Year in Beijing.

"OK, I'll have noodles with you and chop the stuffing." Wang chuyun said.

"Yes!" Guo Xiang nodded.

"Oh, the couplet hasn't been posted yet." Guo Yaqin suddenly screamed. Wang Chongming and Wang Chuyu were responsible for the previous work. Wang Chuyu was absent this year, and Wang Chongming accompanied Gu Xide.

"Where is the couplet? I asked Zhennan to post it. " Guo Xiang said.

"It's on the desk in the study." Guo Yaqin said.

Guo Xiang nodded, took couplets from his study, and some window flowers and blessing characters waved to Gu Zhennan.

"What's up?" Gu Zhennan came over.

"Go and help paste couplets and these. We're not free here." Guo Xiang said.

"OK, give it to me!" Gu Zhennan took over the couplet.

Gu Xide and Wang Chongming also need help when they meet. Gu Zhennan hurriedly said, "Grandpa, Dad, it's too cold outside. You're still in the house. I can do it alone."

"Give me the window flower. We'll stick it here. I'm tired of sitting all the time." Wang Chongming said.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan gave the window flower to Wang Chongming, and Gu Xide helped him apply paste. They also cooperated tacitly.

In the kitchen, Guo Yaqin and Aunt Zhang killed chickens and ducks, Wang chuyun rolled out dumpling skins, and Guo Xiang chopped up meat.

"It's enviable that your two daughters are so capable." Aunt Zhang looked at Guo Xiang and Wang chuyun over there.

"Where, Xiangxiang will do some chores. She has no talent for cooking since childhood, unlike her sister. I heard it's usually Aunt Zhang. You're doing it. You're working hard! " Guo Ya is a little embarrassed.

"They are usually busy. I have nothing to do at home. It won't be so boring to do more." Aunt Zhang smiled. "In the past, when Gu was alone, eating was very boring. After Zhennan and his daughter-in-law came back, Gu ate half a bowl more."

"Yes, when people are old, they want to be accompanied by their children and grandchildren. Otherwise, they really don't know how to live." Guo Yaqin also sighed.

"Aunt Zhang, how many children do you have? Why don't you go home for the new year? " Guo Yaqin asked.

"I......" Aunt Zhang smiled bitterly, "I have no marriage, no children and no children in my life..."

"Ah? Sorry, I don't know. " Guo Yaqin is very embarrassed. There are few unmarried women in this era. I didn't expect this from Aunt Zhang.

Guo Xiang was also a little surprised. She never knew or asked about Aunt Zhang. Unexpectedly, she had no children? No wonder she never asks for leave and doesn't have to go back during New Year's and festivals. She didn't have a family in the past, did she?

"It's all right. I've long been used to it." Aunt Zhang smiled and her face was still lonely.

Something happened when she was young. She was sorry for the man. Later, not marrying all her life was also a punishment for herself.

After killing the chickens and ducks, Guo Yaqin boiled the boiled water and poured it into the wooden basin. Aunt Zhang threw the chickens and ducks in and faded them when they were hot.

Guo Yaqin began to kill fish every year. Fish is an indispensable dish for the new year.

The new year's Eve dinner in Beijing is the most abundant meal of the year, and there are all meat and vegetables, not all meat dishes.

Chicken is essential, meaning a livelihood, fish needless to say, as well as cabbage, meaning a hundred wealth, tofu means wealth, and lotus root means good things.

Of course, cabbage is not just a bowl of cabbage. It may be an elbow in the middle and a circle of cabbage outside.

However, this is what rich people pay attention to. If poor people may have dumplings, it would be good.

After killing fish, Guo Yaqin began to cut meat again. It is also necessary to eat red braised meat every year. Although life is much better than before, it is still a memorable one.

Aunt Zhang's chicken was repaired first. Guo Yaqin took it, cut it and put it on the plate. All the dishes were ready and fried directly in the afternoon.

Then he began to stew pig elbows. For a long time, he had to serve the pot of stewed pork as soon as possible.

Guo Xiang's meat stuffing has also been chopped. Some cabbage are used to make pork cabbage dumplings, and some leeks are used to make dumplings. Each has its own flavor.

"Mom, will you wrap a coin in later?" Guo Xiang said, "those who eat will make a fortune next year."

Guo Yaqin smiled, "OK, you can also wrap a sugar filling, and..."

Guo Yaqin beckoned to Wang chuyun, "Mom, what's up?" Asked Wang chuyun.

"Go and prepare some peanuts, dates and chestnuts. Wrap one later." Guo Yaqin whispered beside Wang chuyun's ear.

Wang chuyun thought and understood. He smiled. "OK, I know."

"What did mom tell you?" Guo Xiang is curious.

"You'll know when you eat it." Wang chuyun smiled.

Guo Xiangyang raised his eyebrows without questioning. He found a coin, washed it, and put it into a dumpling when he made it later.

This side is busy, and the three men over there have pasted the couplets and window tracers.

Wang Chongming made a pot of tea, took a fruit tray and put it on the table. He talked to Gu Xide about the current situation.

He also talked about prices and new policies. Gu Zhennan was listening. Unexpectedly, the two old people were so concerned about current politics, but they didn't care about them. It seems that they should pay more attention in the future, which should also be helpful to their career.

"This year, many state-owned enterprises began to restructure, and the future economic form may change greatly. The bills will slowly withdraw from the market, and prices will rise..."

"Isn't it? I heard about it, too."

"By the way, Zhennan, isn't your oil department restructured?" Asked goosid.

"Yes, I heard it was changing before. It should be about the same." Gu Zhennan said.

"I heard that the oil will be listed in two months. Don't you have another plant in Northeast China, which is a subordinate enterprise of oil? Can I take shares? " Gu Xide said.

Gu Zhennan frowned. He didn't know anything about it. He had to ask his daughter-in-law later. She knew more.

"I'll find out after the new year." Gu Zhennan nodded.

"Do you still have a factory in the Northeast?" Wang Chongming was surprised. Xiangxiang didn't seem to say it. It seems that the couple's financial resources can't be underestimated.

Gu Zhennan nodded, "it's not all ours. It's a joint venture. When I designed a new pumping unit and obtained some patent fees, I invested it in the factory and owned some shares."

Gu Xide looked at his grandson. He said it plainly, but he knew that he accounted for more than half of the shares, worth tens of millions.

Moreover, his new pumping unit has made immeasurable contribution to national oil, and he is really proud.

Wang Chongming nodded and thought that Xiang Xiang didn't mention it because she didn't have her own credit. At that time, she just came back and was in the state of divorce, and she didn't want to mention it.

But I'm really impressed by this silent son-in-law. It's not possible for ordinary people to invest patent fees into shares.

At noon, we had a simple meal. In the afternoon, Guo Yazheng also came.

Several women in the kitchen were busy, the aroma was floating in the yard, and the three men outside also talked happily.
