Chapter 240 First day of junior high school, return to the countryside
Lao Yuan muttered for a while, and with the help of wine, he lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
Zhang Yu found a book, sat on a stool and started reading slowly.
As time went by, the night faded quietly, and the sky gradually turned brighter. Zhang Yu closed the book, stood up, and moved his body.
I simply did a few sets of stretching to start the stiffness relief activities.
I came to the kitchen, made some simple hand-made noodles, and poured the leftover soup that I didn't finish last night into the pot to heat it up.
This is the hodgepodge that Zhang Yu loves to eat. This way of eating can be said to be an excellent delicacy.
Especially when Zhang Yu was young, after New Year's Eve, the next day he would pour the uneaten leftover soup together, simply heat it up, make some hand-made noodles, and pour the hodgepodge into the hand-made soup.
The noodles are extremely delicious.
This is what Zhang Yu thinks is the most delicious way to eat it.
As the aroma wafting from the kitchen gradually grew stronger, everyone in their sleep opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Yu rolled out the hodgepodge and rolled the noodles with his hands and put them on the table.
Let everyone go wash up and wake up quickly, and then come over for dinner.
After eating, Mengyi hung the things she bought yesterday on the handlebars, and placed a small stool on Zhang Yu's Erba Dabang electric car. This was a seat specially prepared for Little Dog Dan. Saying goodbye to Lao Wang and Lao Yuan, the family drove to the countryside.
The cold wind on the first day of the new year was biting to the bone. After riding for a while, Zhang Yu and Mengyi stopped to take a breath.
The cold wind blowing in front of them gave the two of them headaches. In addition, it snowed last night and the ground was very slippery. The two of them rode very carefully.
Intermittently, the family finally arrived home.
The eldest brother who was sweeping the snow at the door saw Zhang Yu’s family at a glance.
A smile immediately appeared on his face and he shouted to the courtyard.
"Mom, dad, daughter-in-law, Xiaoyu's family is back."
The eldest brother quickly threw the broom aside and walked towards Zhang Yu.
"Brother, happy New Year!"
Zhang Yu and Mengyi stopped the car and said in unison.
The little ones also said hello to their uncle in a hurry.
"Uncle, happy new year."
Seeing the children being so sensible, the eldest brother immediately smiled.
"Hahaha, okay, happy new year, happy new year."
"Come on, come on, uncle will take you down."
The eldest brother carried the three guys into the car one after another.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Nuannuan thanked uncle very politely.
When the elder brother heard the children thanking him, it was as sweet as eating honey.
"Haha, no thanks, no thanks."
"Come on, let's go inside quickly. It's such a cold day. Don't freeze the children."
The eldest brother led the children in front, while Zhang Yu and Mengyi pushed the cart behind.
As soon as they stepped through the big threshold, they saw Zhang's father, Zhang's mother and sister-in-law leading Huzi and Yatou out to greet Zhang Yu and the others.
Nuannuan and Xinxin's eyes lit up when they saw their grandparents.
"Grandpa and grandma."
Quickly ran into the arms of grandparents, Zhang Dad and Zhang Mom quickly hugged the child tightly.
Little Dog Dan is neither advancing nor retreating.
Little Dog Dan is young, and because he lives in the city with him, he has few opportunities to go back to the countryside. His impression of his grandparents is not as profound as that of his two older sisters.
But when he saw his two sisters throwing themselves into the arms of his grandparents, Xiaodandan could only poop and run to Zhang's parents.
Nuan Nuan and Xinxin did not stay in the arms of their grandparents for long, and left their arms to hold their little dog Dan to wish everyone New Year greetings.
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, brothers and sisters, Happy New Year."
Adults all like well-mannered children, let alone their own children.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, warm, happy, and happy new year to you all."
Zhang Yu and Mengyi put the car away and hurriedly paid New Year greetings to their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.
Huzi and Yatou also paid New Year greetings to their uncle and aunt.
Thinking that the old man was still in the house, Dad Zhang quickly called everyone into the house.
"Let's go inside. The old man is still waiting inside."
Everyone entered the room and saw the old man sitting on the Taishi chair.
Zhang Yu quickly grabbed Mengyi and the children and respectfully paid New Year greetings to the old man.
The old man looked at the room full of people and the young children, and felt warm in his heart.
He put his hand into his pocket and took out a handful of change.
"Come, come, grandpa will give you lucky money."
It is disrespectful to say goodbye to elders.
It’s not easy to refuse things given by elders.
Although I am embarrassed to accept it, it would be rude not to accept it.
Nuannuan and the others have no need for their parents to speak.
Holding the New Year's money in both hands, they thanked the grandpa in unison.
Huzi and Yatou were not left behind, and they thanked the old man one after another.
The old man caressed the children's heads affectionately.
Praise the children again and again.
"Okay, okay, they are all good children, they are all well-behaved children."
Mengyi gave Zhang Yu a look, and Zhang Yu exited the house slightly and carried the things on the handlebars into the house.
Mengyi took the things and put them on the table.
"Mom and Dad, I cut 50 feet of fabric for my family, and I dared to bring you 20 feet of fabric coupons."
"When you have time, you and your sister-in-law will make new clothes for your eldest brother, little girl, and grandpa."
Mengyi originally wanted to buy the finished product, but considering that she was not familiar with the sizes of her parents, nor was she familiar with the sizes of her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
I simply cut some fabrics, brought some fabric stamps, and asked Zhang’s mother and sister-in-law to make them themselves.
Looking at such a long piece of fabric, Zhang’s mother felt distressed and complained.
Although the wages of both of them are not low, they are earned after a year of hard work.
"Oops! You should take the new clothes at home and make them clothes for Nuannuan and the others."
"Mom, Nuannuan Xinxin, I made it for them. We can't waste the fabric."
"If you don't want to do it now, it's not too late to do it later!"
As Mengyi spoke, she poked Zhang Yu with her arm.
Zhang Yu understood and quickly helped Mengyi persuade her parents.
"Mom, please stop pushing me. My son has made money, so he can't occupy your two elders anymore?"
"Meng Yi is also kindhearted. Since you have bought everything, you can keep it. Huzi and the girl are growing up. No one can wrong the child."
Zhang Ma glanced at Huzi and Yatou, glanced at their clothes, and felt mixed emotions.
The clothes on these two children were made from adult clothes, and the fabrics were a little discolored.
Zhang Ma had no reason to refuse and took the cloth and cloth stamps from Mengyi's hand.
"By the way, Dad, here are fifty kilograms of food stamps. Take them."
Mengyi handed the food stamps to Dad Zhang.
Zhang's father looked at Zhang's mother and felt embarrassed reaching out to take these food stamps.
"Well, my dear daughter, you'd better take these food stamps back."
Zhang Yu spoke first before Mengyi could speak.
"Oops! Dad, didn't I just say that you can take what is given to you."
"This is how your son and daughter-in-law honor you. There is no reason to extrapolate."
Father Zhang also feels sorry for his child. Fifty pounds of food stamps are not easy to get.
These fifty kilograms of food stamps are enough to feed Zhang Yu and his family for a long time.
"I don't think it's easy for you to work, so how dare I extend my hand!"
"Our work is not easy, but it is easier than your work in the fields!"
"Besides, I now work for a state unit and our benefits are very generous."
"If you think fifty pounds is too little, how about I give you another fifty pounds?"
"No, no, no, no."
After hearing what Zhang Yu said, Zhang's father quickly took the fifty kilograms of food stamps.
