Chapter 215 Xiuzhu's New Year's Eve

Jinhuan reminded next to Master Xu, "Zuzu, have you forgotten? At that time, a group of boys chased Xiuzhu and beat him.

We hid her in a broken basket to avoid it, but the boys didn’t have eyes, and we finally got rid of them!"

Only then did Master Xu remember and smiled and said, "It's just a simple task, it's not worthy of your repayment. It's hard for you to remember so clearly?"

"If I hadn't listened to your advice from my elder brother, I would have fought with those bastards long ago. How could I not remember it in my heart if I saved my life!" Li Xiuzhu's tone was full of sincerity.

Master Xu shook his head, "You can endure humiliation and endure for so long, it depends on your own ability and fortune. I really can't stand your life-saving grace!"

Li Xiuzhu wanted to say something, Jinhuan quickly stopped the conversation, "Xiuzhu, please try this roasted peanuts smell good?"

"The peanuts are salted, they taste so delicious!" Li Xiuzhu swallowed the peanuts in her mouth before answering.

Master Xu nodded secretly in his heart as he looked at Li Xiuzhu's decent words and deeds.

After such a long period of hardship, Li Xiuzhu was able to adhere to the rules and education of the big family, which shows how tenacity Li Xiuzhu is.

Once such a person survives, his future will definitely be limitless.

Master Xu asked Li Xiuzhu's family, and Li Xiuzhu said calmly, "My parents and relatives are gone, and she is the only one left in the Li family."

I don’t know who leaked the news that the land deed of the Li family’s property was in her hands. In the past six months, people have been harassed by her homes for the sake of the land deed in her hands.

She gritted her teeth and insisted on finishing her last six months of junior high school, and then signed up for an educated youth and specially selected a quota for Sichuan Province.

She also had a relationship with the people from the educated youth office on the road, and then she went to Tianshui Village as she wished.

Xu Zuye and Jinhuan were both sighing when they heard this. A fifteen-year-old girl who was isolated and helpless wanted to keep the land deed in her hand, but she didn't know how much effort and energy it would take.

Although Jincheng is not happy to greet New Year's Day on the first day of the Lunar New Year, since Li Xiuzhu has come to the door, Xu Zuye said he would keep her for a meal no matter what.

Master Xu first chopped the remaining half of the chicken yesterday into small pieces, added two pork bones, and put them into the soup that cooked the chicken yesterday and stewed them.

Bacon, fungus, mushrooms, tofu, radish, potatoes, and pea tips, wash and cut them all on the table.

Then pour the chicken soup into the casserole, and around the stove, it was a steaming soup pot.

"Xiuzhu! Don't be polite, treat it as your own family, and you can eat whatever you like!" Master Xu greeted Li Xiuzhu enthusiastically.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and thanked, "Thank you, Grandpa Xu. It's been a long time since I saw such a sumptuous shabu shabu. Just looking at it is a kind of enjoyment!"

"I can't fill my stomach, so I'll put my chopsticks down and start eating!" Jin Huan picked up half a chicken leg for Li Xiuzhu first.

Jinhuan then picked up another piece of chicken wings and put them on the dipping plate of Master Xu.

The overall meal served more and less meat, but the soup pot tasted really good, and it was definitely delicious.

The delicious shabu dish was served with chopped pepper dipped in the dish, and the whole person became warmer after eating it.

In order to take care of Li Xiuzhu's taste, Xu Zuye placed chopped peppers and seasonings on the table and could add them according to his personal taste.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuzhu, a capitalist, ate more spicy than Jinhuan and Xu Zuye. Most of her dipping dish was chopped pepper.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of Master Xu and Jin Huan, Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "My ancestral home is from Hunan Province. In the past, I had to add chili peppers to cook at home!"

"That's no wonder. The food in Hunan Province is actually more spicy than that in Sichuan Province!" Jin Huan asked Li Xiuzhu with a smile, "But the climate in the capital is so dry, can the body bear it if it's so spicy?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and replied, "I can't eat it every day. If you eat it once a while, it's good to have it enjoyable!"

"Then you came to Sichuan Province to the right place. We are very humid here, so you can't stand it if you don't eat chili!" Jinhuan said with a smile.

The atmosphere of the meal was quite harmonious. Jinhuan and Xu Zuye were both hospitable and enthusiastic hosts, and they would never feel embarrassed when they first came to the door.

Li Xiuzhu has a open-minded personality, and her knowledge and vision are not narrow-minded. Jinhuan admires her personality very much, and the two of them are very speculative when chatting.

Master Xu was busy ordering them to pick up food, and he also participated in the process from time to time to say a few words.

After dinner, Master Xu took a flashlight to take Li Xiuzhu back to the educated youth spot. He and Jinhuan also went out for a walk to digest food.

Jinhuan was carrying a shoulder bag, and the bag was filled with a bag of candy.

It is the Chinese New Year, and she has a high seniority. When she meets a little baby, she can’t send her a red envelope, so she always has to send two candies.

As expected, as soon as Jinhuan and Xu Zuye arrived at the drying yard, a group of little babies gathered around and began to greet New Year's greetings and say auspicious words.

All the children were smiling and sent a few big white rabbit candies. The little babies were so happy that they could not see their teeth.

Although life in the village has been much better in recent years than in previous years, it is limited to food and clothing.

Even if adults buy New Year’s goods during the Chinese New Year, most of them have local snacks like peanuts, melon seeds, beans, white and sesame candies, and they still can’t bear to spend the flashy candies like the big white rabbit.

Some little kids also took out peanuts, melon seeds and beans from their pockets and took the initiative to share with Jinhuan.

Jinhuan didn't bother with it, and symbolically picked up a peanut seed to accept their kindness.

The educated youth are now following the local customs and huddled in a corner of the drying hall to chat after dinner.

When Wang Qian saw Li Xiuzhu, she walked up and asked, "Xiuzhu, where have you been? Have you eaten? I have left you in the pot!"

"Thank you, Wang Qian, I've eaten it. Master Xu has left me for dinner!" Li Xiuzhu thanked quickly.

Wu Xiaoyan squinted her eyes and said, "Li Xiuzhu, you are really capable. In just a few days, I have flattered the most capable person in the village!"

"Xiaoyan, don't talk nonsense. Xiuzhu is not the kind of person you said!" Wang Qian frowned and helped Li Xiuzhu defend her.

Li Xiuzhu was not angry at all after hearing Wu Xiaoyan's words.

She has heard so many ridicule and curse over the years. Wu Xiaoyan's light contempt can't affect her at all.

"Wu Xiaoyan, if you envy me, you can say it openly. I won't laugh at you. There is no need to be so sarcastic and scolding me." Li Xiuzhu said with a smile on her face.

Wu Xiaoyan was not showing any weakness at all, "Haha, I am not as soft as you. I can't straighten my waist when I see a little benefit!"

"Jinhuan and I were originally in love, so it was normal to come to the door for the New Year. Why did we become a servile cord when we got here?" Li Xiuzhu looked at Wu Xiaoyan with cold eyes.

Wu Xiaoyan looked at Li Xiuzhu's sudden cold expression, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she felt a little scared. Finally, she moved her lips and never said anything again.

When Li Xiuzhu came out with snacks and wine in the afternoon, she was happy to think that it was Li Xiuzhu who took it out for everyone to share.

As a result, Li Xiuzhu left with her things and said she wanted to visit Jinhuan's house, so she became unbalanced.

Seeing that Xu Zuye and Jinhuan were specially sent to Li Xiuzhu back, she was even more upset when she heard that Li Xiuzhu had kept food at Jinhuan's house.

These days, the educated youth have nothing to do and have also figured out the general situation in the village.

The best conditions in the village belong to Jinhuan's family. Xu Zuye is an old revolutionary, and his retirement benefits must be good.

She felt that Li Xiuzhu came to her door with snacks, but she was actually taking advantage of it.
