Not long after, Political Commissar Fang came out of the old man's room. Thinking of greeting people, he immediately went out to arrest Zhang Huaishan.
"Political Commissar Fang, you can't go." Xiao Lin stopped him.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten something?" Political Commissar Fang asked Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin shook his head, raised his eyes and glanced in the direction outside the courtyard wall: "There are people watching over there."
"What?"
Political Commissar Fang didn't expect that someone would be watching near Xiao's house, so wouldn't they have been discovered when they arrived last night?
"Don't worry, it was too cold last night and they went back, but they will definitely come here this morning." Xiao Lin didn't go out to see it, he just made some inferences.
When political commissar Fang heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.
"This..." They can't stay at Xiao's house all the time during the Chinese New Year, right? Of course, they don't have to leave, they just wait until it's quiet at night before going out, but at the end of the day, they want to eat, right?
Five big men. A lot to eat.
Xiao Lin saw the dilemma of political commissar Fang and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The elderly at home are old and they also like to have fun."
Political Commissar Fang sighed, now he could only shamelessly disturb them.
"Then it's really a bother. Don't be polite if you have any work at home. Young and old can do it. You can let them do any work."
"Thank you, Political Commissar Fang. I won't be polite if you need me."
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, Su Yun greeted him and prepared to invite people to have breakfast.
There were a lot of leftovers from last night. At this time, there is no particularity about not eating the leftovers. However, Su Yun picked them out and washed them with warm water. After the hot pot started, she could just put them aside.
Eat while boiling.
She uses noodles as her staple food, and then eats rice for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon.
Xiao Lin walked to the kitchen and told Su Yun that Commissar Fang and the others stayed during the day. Su Yun nodded: "Then bring them a brazier?"
Although Chen Jinzhou didn't buy charcoal yesterday, they still had some at home, and it was enough to move it around.
"No, a bunch of old men can't freeze." This charcoal heating is mainly for children, the elderly and lesbians. Even Xiao Lin rarely leans next to the brazier.
He is in good health and wants to take a cold shower even in the winter, so of course he doesn't need heating.
Similarly, Xiao Lin believed that the few people brought by political commissar Fang were not needed.
Su Yun smiled, as long as Xiao Lin made arrangements for this matter. She asked Xiao Lin to take the prepared meals out, "You can ask them to eat in the main room. I'm watching the fire here, so I won't go there to eat.
"
The kitchen was also spacious and warm, so Xiao Lin agreed.
"Don't be too tired, I'll do it later."
"Well, you go ahead."
It has been a long time since she personally cooked braised pork. Today is a rare occasion for Chinese New Year. Su Yun washed the pig head and offal she bought yesterday and threw them into the pot to prepare braised pork. Both pots were steaming, with pork on one side and pork on the other.
beef.
There are many people eating today, so we can’t skip the meat.
Xiao Lin went to greet people for dinner, while Su Yun casually ate half a bowl of noodles, moved a small stool and sat in front of the earthen stove, warming herself by the fire and counting the time.
Not long after, Lin Sanchun and Xiaodao came to help. Su Yun asked Lin Sanchun to go to the room to rest. She and Xiaodao were enough here. Lin Sanchun shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, Sister Yun. I feel tired after sitting all day. It will feel better if you move more."
"Huh? Did you not get a good rest in that bed last night?" Su Yun asked.
Lin Sanchun quickly answered no, it was just that she felt different with this pregnancy than when she was pregnant with Jiang Kai. She had a huge reaction when she was pregnant with Jiang Kai, but she had no reaction with this pregnancy.
You can eat and sleep, but the only thing is that you can't sit or lie still for a long time...
Su Yun didn't know the reason for this either.
While holding the knife with two big roosters ready to kill, he turned to them and smiled and said: "Such a well-behaved girl must be a girl. A well-behaved and obedient girl like little Sisi."
Su Yun, Lin Sanchun:......
Su Yun thought that her baby was not well-behaved at all, and her loud voice made her look more like a boy than the third child.
"Both sons and daughters are the same, as long as they are healthy." Su Yun was afraid that Lin Sanchun would think too much, so she spoke up first: "It would be good to have another son. Brothers can help each other." She took Lin Sanchun's hand and said,
Tell her not to think too much.
"Well, I like both my son and my daughter."
Because Lin Sanchun does not have a mother-in-law, after getting married, the couple can live their own lives. Therefore, the pressure to have a son is not that great. Besides, they already have a son. No matter whether the subsequent one is a son or a daughter, it will not matter.
good.
Of course, the knife belongs to my daughter. I don’t know how many times I have secretly whispered about my daughter.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and started working in the kitchen.
Xiao Lin and Chen Jinzhou originally wanted to help, but the kitchen was so big and there were only so many things to do, so Su Yun didn't let them get involved. By around one o'clock at noon, Su Yun had prepared all the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.
It's ready.
She sorted out the things she wanted to pay homage to Xiao Lin's father and put them in a basket. She told Xiao Dao to look at the fire, then turned to call Xiao Lin, "Brother Lin, the things have been put away. Let's go pay our respects to Dad and then come back for dinner."
"good."
Xiao Lin came over to carry something, and Chen Jinzhou helped Mr. Chen out. Judging from their posture, they also wanted to pay homage to Xiao Lin's father.
Su Yun looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, it just snowed, and the village road is wet and slippery. How about you wait a few days until the weather gets better and the ground is dry before going?"
She and Xiao Lin have nothing to do with each other. After all, they both grew up in the village and never climbed over any ditch or beam? This situation is nothing to them.
But Mr. Chen is different from Chen Jinzhou.
Although the old man said he was not as old as Mr. Fang, it would be bad if he got bumped.
Mr. Chen waved his hand.
"It's okay, I'm going to see your dad. After so many years, I haven't been able to accompany him on all important days..." Mr. Chen said as he thought of sad things, tears flashed in his eyes again.
Su Yun did not dare to continue talking.
She looked at Xiao Lin and asked Xiao Lin to make up her mind.
Xiao Lin squeezed her hand: "It's okay, Azhou will take care of you."
Su Yun could only agree.
The four people carried incense candles, paper money, some food and drinks for worship, and a bunch of firecrackers and walked out towards the cemetery where Xiao's father was buried. The two people who were watching the Xiao family in the bamboo forest saw this scene and were not interested.
retracted his body.
Hiding in their makeshift shack.
Smelling the aroma of food coming from the Xiao family not far away, and looking at the smoke curling up from the roofs of every house in the village further away, they missed their hometown for a moment.
There was a clicking sound not far away.
The two people, lost in their memories, left and turned around. There was no one around, and the bamboo leaves moved where the noise had just been made. It seemed that the snow on the bamboo leaves had fallen.
"I was shocked. I thought someone had discovered me." Old Long patted his chest and spoke with lingering fear.
A figure left quietly and climbed in from the backyard of Xiao's house.
