Living conditions in recent years have been much better than a few years ago, and the custom of visiting New Year’s greetings to friends during the Chinese New Year has been restored.

The village is crowded and bustling, and it is much more lively than usual. Every time it is time for dinner, the air always smells of various meat and vegetables.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Dahai and Li Sufen came to greet New Year with New Year gifts with their family's twins and grandchildren.

The twins were well-educated and greeted him politely.

The two kids looked obedient and immediately turned Xu Zuye, who liked children.

Master Xu hurriedly brought down the plate with candy on the table and placed it on a low stool so that they could get it.

Jinhuan also used a fruit basket full of sugar oranges to entertain them.

The five-year-old twins were very polite. They nodded at their grandparents before reaching out to grab the candy and oranges, and finally knew how to thank them.

"Dahai, didn't you say that Liangwazi was going to be transferred back to Jincheng? Why haven't he moved yet?" Xu Zuye asked about Chen Tianliang's situation.

Chen Dahai said: "Sufener and I also want him to be transferred back, but Liang Wazi has been promoted to the border defense force recently. It may not be easy to transfer back!"

"Chief, we are not afraid of the hard work of Liang's children. The two dolls are not in good health and cannot go to the plateau. However, it is not a big deal for the dolls to not see their parents for a long time." Li Sufen said in a melancholy tone.

After hearing this, Master Xu nodded, "But the soldiers regard obeying orders as their duty, and it is the critical time to brighten the baby. There is nothing we can do about it!"

"Liangwazi also thought about changing his career, but we persuaded him. He likes to join the army. It's a pity to change his career like this!" Chen Dahai sighed.

Master Xu held the teacup and said, "The environment of the border defense forces may be a little simpler now. When the situation is clear, I will find a way to call back!"

Chen Dahai and Li Sufen understood the implicit meaning of Xu Zuye’s words and nodded to say yes.

At noon, Mr. Xu prepared a table of good dishes to entertain guests, including bacon and sausage, dried roasted carp, Gongbao chicken diced chicken, steamed red potato noodles, stir-fried pea tips, and radish crispy broth.

Chen Dahai smiled and said, "The dishes made by the leader are just a pleasure!"

"Yes! It seems that the recipes are almost the same, but I can't make this taste!" Li Sufen nodded as well.

Master Xu smiled and waved his hand, "I think you don't wear a tall hat on me anymore. It's all home-cooked. It's not easy to make the dishes delicious. Just add more oil, salt and seasonings!"

Jinhuan found a high bench from the house and let the twins sit on the high bench so that they can eat.

As soon as I sat down, I found that Chen Dahai was blinking at her. The man with a fierce face looked cute and blinking. It was really a bit eye-catching.

Jinhuan looked at Chen Dahai and then blinked several times before he realized.

She was just taking care of the twins and forgot to bring out the wine for Chen Dahai. When did Chen Dahai come to drink less?

Jinhuan went to the warehouse to bring a jar of peaches and drank them in front of Chen Dahai.

Chen Dahai smiled and said, "It's still Xiaoyuer who knows me! How can you lack good wine if you have good dishes!"

"Your eyelids are almost blinking and cramping. How can Xiao Yuer not understand?" Master Xu laughed at Chen Dahai's exaggerated behavior without mercy.

Li Sufen also smiled and said, "When did you come to the chief's house? Didn't you even drink and take it? The little wine the chief saved is probably not enough for you to be in trouble."

"Hehe, when I get to the chief, why are I polite?" Chen Dahai said while opening a wine jar: "Why is it a fruity smell? Is this fruit wine?"

Jinhuan nodded, "Uncle Chen, don't look at this fruit wine, you have to drink it leisurely later. My ancestors are drunk on New Year's Eve!"

"The chief is famous for a huge amount. Can such fruit wine be drunk?" Chen Dahai looked at the peach-pink wine and expressed doubts about Jin Huan's words.

In Chen Dahai's view, whether it is grape wine or local plum wine, it can only be regarded as a drink with a bit of wine flavor, and it is not intoxicating at all.

Chen Dahai took the wine cup and poured three glasses of wine, and handed it to Xu Zuye and Li Sufen respectively.

Li Sufen took the wine cup and said in surprise: "This wine smells so fragrant, right? It looks good in color!"

Chen Dahai was impatient. After toasting Master Xu, he tilted his neck and slapped a cup of wine, and then his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I didn't expect this wine to be so energetic!" Chen Dahai sighed after taking a sip.

Jinhuan said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, I didn't lie to you, have you? This wine is very strong, so you have to drink it slowly!"

"Okay, okay!" Chen Dahai nodded and poured another cup.

Li Sufen took a sip of wine, "Xiao Yuer, didn't you buy the wine outside?"

"I learned to brew it by reading the prescriptions in the book. How does my aunt feel like it?" Jinhuan stared at Li Sufen with bright eyes.

"My aunt has drunk a lot of wine, but she has never tasted such a good fruit wine. Whether it is a plum wine made by the traditional method or a Dengzhou wine, it is impossible to compare with this!" Li Sufen savored the aftertaste of the wine.

Jin Huan said with a smile: "Then I'm really lucky. I heard that the brewed fruit wine will turn into vinegar if it accidentally breaks out!"

The good dishes made by Mr. Xu, accompanied by the peach stew that you can enjoy, the wine and the food are great for both the host and the guests.

After dinner and drinking sober tea, Chen Dahai and Li Sufen were about to leave. There were still customers in their family who had to come to the door to go back early to prepare supper.

When he left, Zuye Xu packed up a lot of things for them and took them back.

A few pounds of wild boar meat distributed in the twelfth lunar month, and a little sausage and bacon were also wrapped. Chen Tianliang liked a large bag of rice cakes and peas, and the crispy meat and meatballs fried before the New Year also made a pack of it in cowhide.

Finally, Jinhuan used a net bag to pack the two jars of peach brewed rice, and Chen Dahai took them like a baby, and hung them on both sides of the bicycle.

"Chief! I'll keep these foods for you and Xiaoyuer to eat slowly!" Li Sufen looked at the big bags and small bags and refused.

Without saying anything, Xu Zuye directly packed it on the back seat of their bicycle, waved his hand and said:

"There are few relatives at home, Xiao Yuer and I are only two, how much can we eat?

If you think too much, go back and send some to Liangwazi, the border defense forces are very distressed!"

These things look a lot, but they are all local specialties, which are not as good as the New Year greetings brought by Chen Dahai and Li Sufen.

In addition to a few bags of ordinary canned snacks, Li Sufen made a pair of exquisite leather boots for Jin Huan and a sheepskin shoulder for Master Xu.

These fur goods are rare now. I guess they were either bought by Chen Tianliang on the border or sent by Li Sufen’s parents’ home in the northeast.

What's even more rare is that Li Sufen thought about enjoying her grandparents and grandchildren, and spent a lot of effort to make clothes and shoes for them.

Master Xu originally had the temperament of "people respect me, I respect others one foot". After the Chen family gave them so many things, he would definitely bring them enough gifts.

In the end, Master Xu also sent a red envelope for New Year's money to the twins.

Chen Dahai knew Xu Zuye’s temperament and did not stop him. Instead, he taught them to make a gesture of congratulations on getting rich.
