It is not difficult to persuade them to spend the New Year together in Jia Yi's yard.

Especially under the current situation, if you stay in the Siheyuan, you are destined to keep a low profile and not be able to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner. But when you go there, you are relatively free and don't have to be subject to too many restrictions.

So, they all agreed, but they still had to come back after eating. After all, the courtyard was more lively, and they didn't want anyone to know.

Such a decision is natural, and Jia Yi does not object.

…

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve.

Jia Yi rarely slept in and got up at seven o'clock, which surprised Jia Zhang and the others, but He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu had already gone to work.

"Brother, why did you get up so early today? It's not like you."

While eating, Jia Yi touched the little Sophora japonica that ran over.

"Brother, I have a lot of things to do today. I can't do it if I don't get up early."

Jia Yi swallowed a bun in two mouthfuls and finished his breakfast in the blink of an eye.

"Grandma, I won't be back today because I have something to do. You have been there a few times and you know the way. Just take the bus there in the afternoon. Besides, Uncle He is at work today. I will prepare the dishes in advance. You don't want him to use it.

in a hurry."

Jia Yi explained and went out. He did have something to do today, but it was not cooking. He had already prepared the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. The meat dishes were all cooked and could be heated up. The vegetarian dishes were also washed and processed.

, when the time comes, you just need to simply fry it, and put it all in the cellar when you get to the yard.

However, he didn't make the dumplings. He just mixed the fillings and rolled out the dumpling wrappers. Making dumplings was specially left to them. If they weren't allowed to make dumplings, the flavor of the New Year would be a lot duller, wouldn't it.

When he came to the yard, he didn't stay long, put down his things and left.

Today is a gift-giving day, especially to a few acquaintances, so it would be nice to give some good-quality ingredients, and he also has a request for someone else.

On the street, Jia Yi found Mr. Zheng easily.

"Xiao Yi, there's something wrong with you."

Mr. Zheng looked at the sack on Jia Yi's bicycle with confusion. It was bulging and contained a lot of things.

"Grandpa Zheng, isn't this the New Year? I'm here to give you a New Year gift."

"Oh, you still have such filial piety."

"Of course, my filial piety towards you is a lesson to the world."

Mr. Zheng shivered, and the hairs all over his body stood up, and he said angrily.

"You kid, don't speak so disgustingly, I would have beaten you before."

"hey-hey…"

"Since you want to give a gift, I will grant it to you. Come on, come with me to my house."

Mr. Zheng took Jia Yi to his house in less than ten minutes. Oh, it's not far away. When he went in, he saw that it was a three-in-one courtyard, which was larger than Jia Yi's yard.

"Old man, this yard belongs to you."

"Well, there are quite a few people in the family."

Jia Yi was speechless. It was a big family again.

After entering the house with his things, Mr. Zheng picked up his sack and weighed it.

"You're not being honest. I thought such a big bag contained a lot of stuff, but it turns out it's so light. You're a bit stingy."

"Old man, please don't accuse me wrongly. Although it's a little light, the things I give are all good things. You may not be able to buy them outside."

Of course you can't buy them anymore. These things are all produced in Taoyuan, and Jia Yi has never sold them.

"I'll open it for you and you'll know."

Seeing that Mr. Zheng didn't believe it, Jia Yi opened the sack.

"Look, it's all vegetables, leeks, greens, spinach, cowpeas, green beans, tender corn..."

"They're all vegetables."

"Old man, the taste of these vegetables is extraordinary. They are definitely better than what you have eaten before."

Jia Yi said seriously, it's winter, and Mr. Cheng bought it for one yuan a pound.

"Well, it won't be all vegetables, right?"

Mr. Zheng still didn't quite believe what Jia Yi said, but he didn't refute it.

This is also Jia Yi's wish, and vegetables in winter are quite rare.

"Old man, no matter how good I say, you should try it yourself. You can fry one for lunch and try it."

"Okay, I'll try your vegetable today to see if it's different."

"Old man, this is milk powder."

Mr. Zheng snatched the two bags of milk powder and nodded with satisfaction. His eldest daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so this milk powder was delivered at the right time.

"This is a good gift."

"Whatever you say, here are some fruits, apples and oranges."

The first batch of fruits produced by the Taoyuan orange tree were inedible, but after Jia Yi tasted them, he felt that they were different from the wild oranges outside. He also thought of Taoyuan's ability, so he did not shovel them, but the second time

The result surprised Jia Yi. The taste of oranges was no different from those in the south.

"Well, you are very capable. You can get vegetables and fruits in winter."

"Hey, it's just meat in the end."

Jia Yi took out two prepared hares, ten pounds of pork, and two prepared and frozen large herrings.

"You kid, you still brought good things."

Mr. Zheng patted Jia Yi on the shoulder and praised him.

It's obvious that Mr. Zheng is very interested in meat. It's right when you think about it. Meat is only rationed every month. Mr. Cheng has taken over all of Qi Ren's pork, so he can buy less and less.

"Xiao Yi, don't leave at noon. Let's have a drink together."

"Old man, are you confused? I'm only thirteen years old."

"Hmph, I started drinking when I was nine years old. You are already thirteen and you still have the nerve to use this as an excuse."

Jia Yi choked. What should he answer? Mr. Zheng was so fierce. He couldn't understand what was so good about such spicy liquor.

"Not today, I have to go to several stores."

"Who else? Let's go in the afternoon."

Mr. Zheng was unhappy. He was in the mood for drinking and wanted to find someone to drink with him.

At this time, a woman came in holding a baby.

"Well, why are you back? Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year at your husband's house today?"

"in argument."

"what happened again."

Mr. Zheng was helpless. His daughter would run back every three days after giving birth. If he had had his bad temper in the past, he would have gone to beat his son-in-law. Unfortunately, he is old now and does not have the same energy as before.

.

"It's not about the children."

"All right."

When it comes to this, Mr. Zheng can only sigh. His daughter has given birth to two children, and they are both daughters. Her mother-in-law is not willing to do this. She often lectures her, so it would be weird if there is no quarrel.

"It just so happens that he brought good things today, so you will stay at home to celebrate the New Year. Forget it, you should stay at home for a while and wait until your mother-in-law calms down."

"Well, okay. Apple..."

"You can't eat this, it's too cold. Take this packet of goat milk powder."

Mr. Zheng quickly let go of his worries and began to bleed to comfort his daughter.

Seeing this, Jia Yi quickly said goodbye. This time Mr. Zheng didn't try to persuade him to stay. He had troubles at home and he didn't want to drink anymore.

"Dad, that child is..."

"Oh, he is your father's and my New Year's friend, and these are the New Year's gifts he gave me."

She looked carefully and was surprised that these things are not common nowadays.

"I never thought he could get so many good things."

"Okay, don't think too much. Leave the child to your mother and take a good rest."
