Chapter 790 Don’t Understand

Silicon Valley is still on the 23rd of the lunar calendar, but Feng Jiachong has already reached the 24th of the lunar calendar.

The factories in the village and town have closed down, and those who set up shop and do business are returning home one after another. People are gathering, and the New Year atmosphere in the neighborhood is gradually getting stronger.

It was this year that the last family in the neighborhood moved into a new home. The original chaotic adobe houses in the neighborhood disappeared, and the underground river that was originally covered up by the houses finally came to light.

Along the small river, two rows of golden osmanthus were transplanted.

From this point of view, people in Feng Jiachong who have become rich are still very pragmatic. Some people proposed to plant willow trees and liked its elegance. Of course, they would not say the word elegance, but they just felt that its branches danced in the wind. nice.

However, more people like osmanthus. In late autumn, not only does it have a subtle fragrance, but the most important thing is that its flowers can be used to make tea.

Willows, on the other hand, are purely ornamental trees.

By the river, we used some materials from demolished old houses, including roof beams, green bricks, and old tiles, to build a corridor with two rows of benches under the corridor, which is another place for leisure.

When the weather is warm, those who like to eat outside with a bowl of rice will crowd the promenade, eating and cooking at the same time, which is very lively.

After the reconstruction of the old village was completed, the large area of ​​​​vacated land, including the original grain drying field, was leveled and paved with large floor tiles, forming a square of thousands of square meters.

This square is now in the center of Yuanli. Elegant street lamps have been erected around it, and in the middle is a high lamp.

Everyone has a lot of ideas about this square. Young people hope to build a fountain like some squares in the city, but the elderly are not interested in this idea at all. They prefer to build a sculpture or something, but what kind of sculpture is it? , and the opinions are varied.

In this matter, the fourth uncle, as the village leader, is very democratic. He plans to take advantage of the end of the year when everyone is at home to solicit everyone's opinions, and then follow the plan that most people like.

But now, this square is the world of children. They no longer have only firecrackers to play with when Feng Yiping was a child, but like the children in the city, they wear roller skates, helmets and protective gear. , roller skating in the square.

There are also those who ride children's bicycles, play scooters, play remote control cars and play games. Judging from the entertainment methods of these children, they are no better than Feng Yiping's generation who rolled hoops, played tops, hopscotch, and played shuttlecock. By comparison, it can be said that it has spanned several eras at once and is finally in sync with the current trend of the times.

The same thing as Feng Yiping and others at that time was that these children were not afraid of the cold.

The most enthusiastic people watching these children were the old people with missing teeth. They were happy to see the children having fun.

Although living conditions have been greatly improved, the elderly still retain many of their original lifestyles, for example, they like to get together. .

On the other hand, many of the young people who are supposed to love liveliness are now staying at home, watching TV, playing on the computer, or simply sleeping in.

However, today is a special event. The pond next to the square is being used to catch fish. Many people take turns to put on the water support, hold up the tied bamboo rafts, and cast a few nets in the center of the pond.

What was originally a serious and laborious matter was turned into an entertainment project.

The caught fish is not distributed equally to everyone. If it is divided, some people will always be dissatisfied, depending on the type, size, etc., simply sell it at the market price, and then put the money from the sale into the public account of the community.

Now it was Wen Hui's turn to punt, and his brother Wen Hua cast the net. Wen Hua cast the net in a decent manner. Amid everyone's laughter, a piece of rotten wood was caught in the net, "Wen Hua, why is the level so bad? Next year If you want to follow your brother-in-law, you are not good at it." Many people on the pond laughed at him.

They have been in the army for two years, and they are both eighteen or nineteen years old. The two brothers are not the two children they were before. They faced these kind ridicules with a calm expression, "It's too early to say this, can't we still cast a wider net? "

Wen Hua spotted a spot with lots of blisters and lowered the net again. When he was slowly closing the net upwards, the net suddenly dropped heavily, almost pulling him into the water.

"Wow, we caught a big guy!" People on the shore could clearly see that there was a big guy in the net. It was wagging its tail just now. "Slow down, slow down and pull over." Several people wore rubber boots and stepped on the pond. Mud went over to help.

Wen Hui carefully controlled the bamboo raft and slowly pulled it to the side. Then four people got out and used their hands and feet to get the fish ashore. What a good guy, it was almost as long as an adult's arm. The old man who was watching the children playing over there also came to watch the fun. , "Is there such a big fat-headed fish in the pond? I'm afraid it will take several years,"

Wenhua and his two brothers weighed the weight, weighing 23 pounds!

"Quickly, send it to your fifth grandfather's house." The two men in charge of fishing stuffed the big fish into a sack and handed it to Wenhua and the others.

No one around them had any objections to their decision. This should be the biggest fish that could be caught this time, and of course it would be for Feng Yiping's family.

The two brothers carried the big fish, which was still moving vigorously, and trotted towards Feng Yiping's house.

Looking at the two young men full of energy, Feng Hongbing's father Feng Weidong said to Wenhua's father Feng Huafu, "Huafu, you must be the number two person in the school from now on."

Feng Huafu, who was still very thin but much more attractive, smiled and said, "How can I compare with you people who are doing business outside, making a lot of money, and seeing the world?"

"Listen to what I have to say. Wenhua Wenhui will be with Yiping next year. How will their future be small? If you are not the number two person in the school, who will you be?"

"Yes, Hua Fu, if you ask me, it would be better for them to be with Yi Ping than to be admitted to the best university in the country. You have to treat me."

That makes sense. With two sons following his cousin, there is no need to worry about the future. Feng Huafu said cheerfully, "That's okay. I'll buy some more wine."

"Fifth wife, aunt, come out quickly, it's such a big fish," Wenhua shouted loudly when he was still several steps away from Feng Yiping's house.

Feng Zhenchang is still in town today, doing some finishing work with Cai Lei and Gao Zhiyi. However, the house is very lively. Many girls are surrounding Feng Yuxuan, discussing this year's popular clothing styles, the most fashionable jewelry, and the trendiest jewelry. Hair style and other issues.

As for Mei Qiuping, there were also many people around, from the courtyard, from the village, and from other villages. As before, they were all people who had benefited from their factory and company this year. Some of them were still the same as in previous years. Just like that, bring something to express your feelings. Some of it is to help her prepare the dishes for the Chinese New Year.

"What kind of fish?" Feng Yuxuan ran out on cotton mops.

"23 pounds of fathead fish, just caught,"

Mei Qiuping also heard the sound and came out, her hands still stained with powder, "Is there such a big one? Where should I put it?"

"Leave it to us," Wenhua said, flushing a cement floor in the backyard with water. "Just fix it here. Don't worry, Nai, we will make it clean."

That was not what Mei Qiuping was thinking about, "It would be great if Yi Ping had such a big fish head at home."

"Auntie, as soon as you think about it, let his plane fly back and take you to the United States to see you. If you leave today, you will arrive tomorrow. How convenient," said a helping young daughter-in-law.

"Mom, my brother can eat whatever he can eat at home. Many of the things he can eat now are not available at home. Why do you think so much? Besides, how can that guy who has been eating delicious food since he was a child eat it now? Are you treating yourself badly?" Whenever this happens, Feng Yuxuan can't help but taste it.

…………

In the evening, after finally seeing off the last person who came to the house today, Feng Zhenchang set off a firecracker outside the house, closed the door, and watched his daughter take out a bottle of Wuliangye, "What are you doing with this? Take the grain wine from the year before last." Come out in one jar,"

"How can it be better than this?" Feng Yuxuan muttered, but she still followed her father's instructions and went to the bottom of the shelf in the storage room and pulled out a small wine jar with a tight lid. There was also a small wine jar stuffed under the lid. Layer cotton cloth, when she picked up the cotton cloth, "Well, it smells so good," she couldn't help but praise.

"It's more than just fragrant. Take a sip and try it. It's very soft and mellow. It's like millet that hasn't been beaten with any pesticides. When making wine, nothing is added except some koji. You can drink it with confidence. It's not just a waste of money." That’s what’s good,”

"It's not bad," Feng Yuxuan took a sip, "it tastes good,"

"Mom and Dad, try this." Today's fish has very good meat quality. She picked the best piece of meat and made a fried fish steak according to the Western food method. She also mixed the sauce and gave it to her parents. I picked up a piece and said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"It's quite good," Mei Qiuping praised, and then sighed, "It would be great if Yi Ping was here. He hasn't been back for the New Year in two years."

"Mom, things are different now. Are you still worried that my brother won't be able to eat well? He is so busy. I think you have to get used to this kind of life in the future. After a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the New Year with you at home. ,"

Feng Zhenchang said, "You are still a big girl. Is your mother worried about Yiping's food and drink? You don't understand. I'm afraid you won't understand these things until you have your own child."

On days like this, he didn't miss his son.

There was someone missing from the family, and Mei Qiuping, who was a little melancholy, suddenly reacted and looked at her daughter, "You said you wouldn't be able to spend the New Year with us for a few years. Are you talking about a boyfriend? Really?"

ps: The monthly ticket is still double, can’t you make another move today?
