Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children - Chapter 788

Chapter 788 Pig Killing Celebration (6,000 words)

“Gee, how bad is this?

Yuanyuan is just a child, and occasionally won a prize in a competition, so it’s not good to have a celebration party, right? ”

Xu Shiyan can understand the feelings of the team leader and the province.

But it will be Chinese New Year soon, if I go back to the provincial capital to hold a celebration party, and go all the way home, I am afraid that it will be Chinese New Year when I get home.

“Don’t, don’t, Mr. Xu, this is what the leader means.

Please Mr. Xu, don’t refuse, and go back with us. “The team leader said pleadingly.

“Student Xu Haiyuan won the league championship this time. This is our honor. It is a great contribution.”

This is the truth. Over the years, Kyrgyzstan has often won first prizes in competitions, regardless of junior and senior high schools.

But the national championship, this really has never happened.

Everyone has said that, what else can Xu Shiyan say? Then I can only agree.

So I discussed with the team leader teacher, and everyone will return tomorrow.

Just like that, the leading teacher took the students back to pack up their things, and took everyone for a stroll in the afternoon.

Xu Shiyan reserved a table in Donglaishun, and invited the children and teachers from this province to have a meal in the evening.

On the afternoon of the 24th, a group of people boarded the return train, returned to Changchun from the capital, and arrived at the provincial capital on the morning of the 25th.

Thanks to Xu Shiyan calling the leader in advance, everything in winter should be kept simple and not too grand.

At any rate, he didn’t wear red and hang colors like Xu Shiyan did a few times before, and he didn’t arrange too many people to meet the station outside the station.

Xu Shiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

It’s the twelfth lunar month of winter, if a group of students wait outside the station for an hour, won’t they all freeze to death?

The four of them stayed in the provincial capital for two and a half days, and it was really a celebration of all kinds.

Many leaders of relevant departments attended, anyway, I don’t know whether it is for Xu Haiyuan or Xu Shiyan.

In short, no matter who met Xu Haiyuan, they would all praise him, and then praise Xu Shiyan and his wife for raising a good son and so on.

The principals and directors of several key high schools in the province came to win over Xu Haiyuan, wanting Xu Haiyuan to study in their schools.

The conditions are always good, and all fees are free.

If the high school participates in the competition and wins the ranking, the minimum bonus is 10,000, and there is no upper limit. There are rewards for excellent grades in the college entrance examination.

In a word, as long as Xu Haiyuan goes to study, they will agree to any conditions.

Now, Xu Shiyan didn’t know what to do.

He really wanted to send Xu Haiyuan to the capital to study, even if he borrowed it.

In Xu Shiyan’s heart, it is the capital after all, the place with the most concentrated resources in the country, and it is incomparable to other places.

The educational resources in the capital are still very good. The teachers are there. Even if Xu Haiyuan borrowed to study in the past, he would not suffer a disadvantage.

But when these people in the province said it, Xu Shiyan was shaken again.

The provincial key high school should not be much worse than the capital, right?

The main reason is that there are many benefits to studying in the province, not to mention the exemption of tuition and miscellaneous fees, scholarships and the like.

The key is that when Xu Haiyuan comes here, he can directly obtain a student status, and he can directly take the college entrance examination in the provincial capital, which is much more convenient than the capital.

Xu Shiyan couldn’t make a decision after much deliberation, so he simply told others that he would contact them after discussing with the child and the child’s grandparents.

Anyway, there is still half a year before the admission to the high school entrance examination, so hurry up.

The principals and directors also understood that so many people came to fight for it, and they definitely couldn’t directly agree.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for other schools in front of everyone.

After discussing it later, just contact in private, everyone looks good.

By the morning of the 28th, Xu Shiyan couldn’t live anymore, so he hurriedly talked to the leader and planned to go back.

“Okay, Chinese New Year is coming soon, go home and reunite with your family.”

The leader waved his hand with a smile, indicating that Xu Shiyan could leave.

“One more thing, after the year you have to go to the capital for a one and a half month training.

This is recommended by the province, and most people don’t have this opportunity to learn. We must seize the opportunity and not be lazy. ”

The leader looked at Xu Shiyan with a smile, and said an address.

When Xu Shiyan heard it, hey, it’s amazing.

That is probably the best school in the country, the place that all cadres who are eager to make progress yearn for most.

To go there for advanced studies, at least the county level must be recommended by the province, which is a very rare opportunity.

Those who have studied and trained there will not have a bad future in the future.

“Leader, don’t worry, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of the leader.” Xu Shiyan promised with a serious face.

“Well, I know you are reliable, so let’s do it.

Go back and bring your parents a good one. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, even if I wish the second elder a new year in advance. “The leader waved his hand and let Xu Shiyan go.

Just like that, the four got on the train and walked back.

When I arrived at Hunjiang, it was four or five o’clock in the morning on the 29th.

Xu Shiyan thought there was nothing to do, just have breakfast later, and then take the car back to Songjianghe.

As a result, as soon as I got off the train, I was escorted away by the train staff at the station before I even got out of the train station.

Guan Enxue had already arranged someone to wait at the station, just because he was afraid that Xu Shiyan would sneak away with his wife and children.

I had no choice but to stay in the city for another day.

The city also prepared a very grand celebration and commendation meeting, and gave Xu Haiyuan prizes and bonuses.

In the evening, a celebration banquet was prepared, and even Guan Enxue and others attended.

“Boy, if I don’t arrange someone in advance to stop you at the station, you will definitely run away with your wife and son.”

When Guan Enxue saw Xu Shiyan, he complained.

“It’s still Guan Shuji’s ability to predict things like a god.

The main reason is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I feel like returning home, so I want to go home early. ”

What can Xu Shiyan say? Said that he was afraid that the laborers in the city would mobilize the public to organize those celebrations? How could you talk like that?

I can only pretend to be homesick and go over with a haha.

“Well, it’s understandable that I feel homesick now that Chinese New Year is here.

I won’t keep you here any longer. The celebration banquet will end tonight, and I will arrange for someone to take you home tomorrow morning. ”

Guan Enxue nodded. It took another half a month to go out to the capital to compete, and it was normal to be homesick.

“No, no, the road is slippery in winter, and driving is more troublesome. We can just take the train tomorrow morning, and we will be home by one o’clock in the afternoon.”

Xu Shiyan quickly waved his hands, and walked from Hunjiang to Songjianghe, and the driving route was basically the same as that of the train.

If you can’t run fast in winter, it’s better to take the train to be safer.

Xu Shiyan insisted that Guan Enxue didn’t argue with him, and other people just came to say hello, so he changed the topic.

Many leaders of the city attended the celebration banquet, and the most educated ones came.

Xu Shiyan took the opportunity to discuss the high school with the leaders of the Education Bureau.

“Oh, Mr. Xu is an amateur at first glance.

In terms of grades, our key high schools in the three eastern provinces are no worse than those in the capital.

If you want me to tell you, Mr. Xu, don’t bother. It’s not worthwhile to go all the way to the capital to study, or to borrow it. ”

Unexpectedly, when the bureau chief heard this, he laughed.

“The High School Affiliated to Northeast Normal University in our provincial capital is a well-known good school.

If you listen to me, let your child study there, and keep it right.

Besides, this place is close to home, and the student status is directly transferred, so convenient. ”

Xu Shiyan hasn’t studied for a few years in total, and Donggang is a remote place, so he can’t usually get in touch with it. How can he know these things?

Originally, Xu Shiyan also planned to find someone who understands him later, ask him carefully, and make a decision after inquiring clearly.

Hearing what the director said at this moment, Xu Shiyan finally understood.

After making a fuss for a long time, he almost sent his son to the capital.

“Hey, thank you Feng Ju for pointing the maze, you say I don’t know anything about these things, that’s really for nothing.

Thanks to meeting Feng Ju today, thank you very much, come, let me toast Feng Ju. ”

This can be regarded as a great help, Xu Shiyan of course wants to express his gratitude, and hasten to toast.

The celebration banquet was very lively, and it didn’t end until after nine o’clock.

Xu Shiyan and others lived in the hotel, had a good night’s rest, got up early the next morning, had a casual meal and went straight to the train station.

When the train arrived at Songjianghe Station, it was already January 30th, the 26th of the twelfth lunar month in the afternoon.

“My God, this trip took longer than last time.

If there is any delay in this, we will be thirty years old when we come back. ”

When the train arrived at the station, Xu Shiyan said with emotion while walking down with his luggage.

Su Anying and Xu Haiyuan who were behind them both laughed, and the chemistry teacher over there couldn’t help laughing either.

A group of people got out of the car just like that, walked out along the crowd, and went straight to the exit.

Before the results came out, they heard someone calling them.

Take a closer look, good guys, Xu Haibo, Xu Haitao, Xu Jinfeng, Xu Jinxiu, the nephews and nieces at home are all dressed thickly, waving from outside the station.

Looking behind the children, Xu Shian and Xu Shixiang are also there.

“Yo, second brother, fifth brother, why are you all here at the station? Did you come here to pick us up?”

Xu Shiyan felt warm when he saw his brothers and nephews coming to pick him up at the station.

“That’s necessary, isn’t this here to welcome our champion?

Let me tell you, ever since our father knew that Yuanyuan had won the award, he didn’t know why he was so happy.

Call us a few times, let us all come back, we must hold a welcome ceremony for Yuanyuan. ”

Xu Shian stepped forward with a smile, and hugged Xu Haiyuan up.

“It has to be my eldest nephew, really powerful and promising, the second uncle is the rarest of you.”

Although Xu Haiyuan is not short, but in front of Xu Shian who is more than 1.8 meters tall and has great strength, he is still not enough to look good, and he was picked up easily.

Xu Haiyuan will soon be fifteen years old, yet being hugged by someone, this feeling is actually quite scary.

“Second uncle, let me down first.”

There were a lot of people outside the station, Xu Haiyuan was embarrassed, and he couldn’t shout loudly, so he could only speak weakly.

“Hahaha, my eldest nephew is still embarrassed. Okay, let you down.”

Xu Shian laughed heartily, then put Xu Haiyuan down, and patted his nephew on the shoulder.

“Good boy, I don’t know who to follow with this cleverness. In the old Xu family’s life, they really pointed at you.

Let’s go, get in the car and let’s go home, your grandpa and grandma are waiting at home.

To celebrate your award, a pig was killed at home today. ”

When Xu Shiyan and the others were walking back from the capital, they called their family and told them that they would be home by the 29th or 30th at the latest.

After Xu Chenghou received the call, he called Xu Shixian and the others to discuss, asking his sons to come back and celebrate together.

There is no pig at home, so Xu Chenghou specially bought a pig from someone, and made a plan to slaughter the pig today.

Regardless of whether Xu Shiyan and the others come back on the 29th or 30th, the pigs have to be killed.

Brothers Xu Shixian discussed with each other, and they each asked for leave, and came back yesterday afternoon.

Early this morning, that big fat pig was **** and sent to the guillotine.

At this moment, it has become the delicious stew, blood sausage, and big bones in the pot.

“My God, my father can really do it.”

Xu Shiyan couldn’t help shaking his head when he heard this. The older the old man, the more he can make troubles.

“Let’s go, third brother, let’s get in the car first, and we’ll talk when we get home.” Xu Shixiang greeted the big guys with a smile, and they all got into the car quickly.

Xu Shixiang drives the car of his unit, Xu Shian drives the farm, and Xu Haibo drives the car that Su Anying is at home.

Just like that, the three cars left the train station and went straight to Donggang.

When they arrived at the tomb of the martyrs, Xu Shiyan and others got out of the car. They wanted to drag the chemistry teacher to the house to have fun together.

Where is the chemistry teacher willing? This is a reunion of the Xu family, and he is embarrassed to participate as an outsider.

Having no other choice, Xu Shiyan asked Xu Haibo to drive and take the chemistry teacher home.

also said that waiting for busy work, to visit people, must thank the teacher.

Everyone carried their luggage and entered the gate talking and laughing.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the big iron pot in the middle of the yard.

At this moment, there is still a fire under the iron pot, and there is steam in the pot, and the smell of stewed meat wafts out with the heat.

This taste is so gluttonous.

“Oh, the third uncle and three aunts are back. Grandpa, grandma, my third uncle and three aunts, and Yuanyuan are back.”

Xu Haibin is leading Xu Haiyang and Xu Haiqing to play in the yard.

Seeing Xu Shiyan and others enter the door, Xu Haibin ran into the house, shouting as he ran.

As soon as the people in the room heard the movement, a large crowd came out.

Xu Shixian, Xu Shide, Xue Xiulin, Wei Mingrong, Su Anfang, Li Zongliang, Su Anhua and others all came out of the house and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

“Oh, my eldest nephew is back, this kid is really promising, so rare.

Hurry up, hurry into the house, your grandpa and grandma are nagging all day long. ”

Xue Xiulin stepped forward, grabbed Xu Haiyuan’s hand, and other people also gathered around, just like this, Xu Haiyuan entered the house.

Xu Chenghou, Zhou Guilan, Chu Xuanhuai, Su Weizhong, Han Cai’e, five old people are sitting on the kang in the east room.

To be honest, they couldn’t sit still because of Xu Haibin’s voice just now, they were looking out of the room with their heads stretched out.

Seeing Xu Haiyuan coming in accompanied by his aunt and aunt, these old men and women were also very happy, and they all laughed, not to mention how happy they were.

“Grandpa, grandma, master, grandpa, grandma.” Xu Haiyuan smiled and came forward to greet the five elders.

“Hey, hey. Hurry up and sit on the kang, it’s quite cold outside, have you froze after taking the train all the way back? Get on the kang to be warm.”

Zhou Guilan hurriedly moved into the kang, made room for her grandson, and beckoned for Xu Haiyuan to sit beside her.

“Hurry up, take off your shoes and get on the kang, it’s getting warmer on the kang.”

“Grandma, it’s okay today, it’s not too cold, and it’s almost done on the train.”

How could Xu Haiyuan really take off his shoes and get on the kang? So she sat next to Zhou Guilan on the edge of the Kang.

As Xu Haiyuan said, he took out the award certificate from his backpack.

“Grandpa, grandma, master, grandpa, grandma, this is my award certificate.”

The certificate of the national competition must be different from that of the provincial competition. Whether it is printed or produced, it is more exquisite.

The certificate case of big red flannel, with a few big characters in gold stamping on it, looks festive and majestic.

Xu Chenghou took turns holding the certificate to look at it, the joy is beyond words.

“Good boy, the old Xu family has eight generations of ancestors, and there has never been a child as promising as you.

If this is put in the past, is it considered a champion or something? Can you be an official? ”

Holding the certificate, Xu Chenghou couldn’t put it down, looking at it over and over again, and muttering.

“Father, it seems that it can’t be counted that way.

Yuanyuan This is a prize in a chemistry competition. If it was in the Qing Dynasty, it should be an eight-legged essay.

However, our Yuanyuan level is really high. I feel that if we put it in ancient times, it would be quite powerful.

Definitely be able to win the Jinshi, if you don’t have enough guarantees, you can still be named a marquis and worship the prime minister, then you will really honor your ancestors. ”

Xu Shide was beside him, pondered for a while, and explained to his father.

“I don’t care if it’s eight-part or nine-part essay, I just know that it’s enough for our family to be promising.”

Xu Chenghou waved his hand, so he didn’t bother to care about the text.

Anyway, he knows one thing, that in the old Xu’s family, there are children who are promising.

Brothers Xu Shiyan looked at each other and smiled at each other. At this time, stop arguing with the old man and say what you like.

“Yes, Dad is right, the children of our younger generation are all very promising.

You can see that Xiaobo is at Agricultural University, Jinfeng is at Banking University, followed by Xiaotao and Xiuxiu, and I think they are all good.

Pingping, Jingwen, and Jingyi, who are further down, are also studying very well. In the future, there will definitely be several college students coming out of our family. ”

Xu Shiyan sat on the edge of the kang, looked at the nephews and nieces in the room, and said happily.

“Well, that’s good. Your mother and I don’t look forward to anything else in this life, but we hope that our old Xu’s family will be prosperous and future generations will be prosperous.”

Xu Chenghou glanced over the children and grandchildren, and nodded in relief.

“Okay, old man, stop talking nonsense here.

The third child and the others have just arrived home, so they must be hungry. Let’s eat quickly, and chat after we finish eating. ”

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and granddaughters had already packed up the food, Zhou Guilan quickly greeted everyone for dinner.

Xu Shiyan and the others had dinner in Hunjiang in the morning.

The car is too crowded at this time, it would be nice to have a seat, where is there time to eat?

It’s already two o’clock, aren’t you hungry?

Especially the smell of pork stewed sauerkraut all over the room, I feel even more hungry.

In order to celebrate Xu Haiyuan winning the award, today the family slaughtered a big fat pig weighing nearly 300 catties.

So this meal must be an authentic pig-killing dish.

Sauerkraut and white meat blood sausage, big bones in sauce, boneless meat, pork heart, liver and tongue platter, fried meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, pig ears mixed with cucumber, square meat dipped in garlic sauce.

Although there are only these few dishes, the servings are not small, and several of them are served directly on the basin.

Especially the square meat, all of which are streaky and three-layered skin-on loin meat.

Palm-sized square meat, cooked in a pot and let cool, then cut into slices with a knife.

Mash the garlic cloves and put some soy sauce in it, which is the garlic sauce that people in Northeast China often call.

The large slices of cooked meat are trembling, dipped in a little garlic sauce, the meat is not greasy or greasy, and the meat is full of fragrance. It is safe to eat and still want to eat, and it is impossible to stop.

Su Weizhong and his wife, Su Anfang, Su Anhua and others all came, and the three tables were full.

The five old people are all at this table on the kang, Xu Haiyuan is the protagonist today, so of course he is also on the kang.

Xu Shiyan and Su Anying, both of whom had a good time with their son, were also at this table on the kang.

The children of Su Anfang and Su Anhua’s family were young, and it happened that Su Weizhong and Han Cai’e hugged each other and coaxed them to eat.

The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is only a few days away from the Chinese New Year.

Xu Shixian and the others all came back from a long vacation and planned to spend the new year here before going back.

In the spring of this year, both Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang bought buildings in the county.

This building is much more convenient than a bungalow. You can just lock the door, and you don’t have to worry about burning the fire all day long.

Xu Shide’s family lives in the public house of the Beigang Township Government, so there is no need to worry about someone taking care of them anyway.

Brothers have discussed with each other, and they will all stay and celebrate the new year with their parents.

After all, Xu Chenghou and his wife are getting older, so spend more time with the elderly during the holidays, so as not to leave any regrets in the future.

The children and grandchildren stayed to celebrate the New Year, and the happiest couple was Xu Chenghou and his wife.

I killed a pig during the Chinese New Year this year, plus the benefits from Xu Shiyan’s work unit, Guo Shouye, Yang Junxian, Huang Shengli and other things sent by brothers and buddies, the family has everything.

From the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the old lady led her daughter-in-law and granddaughters to prepare things for the New Year.

Pork in a big pot, pork knuckles in sauce, stewed skin jelly.

In the morning, two large pots of noodles are served, and at noon, steamed jujube steamed buns, hair cakes, steamed buns and rolls with sugar triangles.

Zhou Guilan knows how to make good pasta, jujube steamed buns can be made in various designs, and can also make various steamed buns such as goldfish, hedgehog, and bunny.

In the sugar triangle, white sugar is mixed with walnut kernels, peanut kernels, and sesame seeds. One bite is delicious and sweet.

Fat cake is fermented with rice flour and white flour, and sprinkled with chopped dates, honey beans, raisins, etc.

The steamed hair cake is soft and sweet, not to mention how delicious it is.

Not only these, Zhou Guilan also brought out the prepared glutinous rice, zong leaves, candied dates, etc., and led the daughters-in-law to make zongzi.

Pronounced in Northeast dialect, zongzi is actually called earning son. Zhou Guilan put money and dates in the zongzi, which is called early earning money, which has a very good meaning.

Finish the staple food, and fry some snacks.

Put a large spoon on the stove, croquettes, dried fruits, crispy twists, collars, mushrooms, eggplant boxes, meat segments, etc.

Anyway, the smell in the kitchen has never been broken, causing the children to stand outside the kitchen one by one, staring at the delicious food inside.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Anfen and Ji Tongzhong, who were far away in Yangcheng, and Su Anzhen and Nan Zhendong, who were in the capital, all rushed back.

No one expected that on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin would also come back with their children.

The couple spent the New Year in Yangcheng last year, so they plan to come back this year.

But Han Liwei was delayed for a few days due to some impromptu business, and he didn’t arrive home until the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On New Year’s Eve, the Xu family’s side is not to mention how lively it is.

Waking up early in the morning, Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao led his younger brothers to erect lantern poles, hang strings of lights, and paste couplets with the word “God God” outside.

The boys were mischievous, they were doing their work, and from time to time they lit a firecracker and threw it away.

The firecrackers exploded, and a few little ones clapped their hands happily and jumped up and down.

The girls were not idle either. They put up window grilles in the house and helped with cooking.

There was a reunion dinner at three o’clock in the afternoon. There were more than 20 people in a large family. The scene was not to mention how lively it was. Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were laughing from morning till night, unable to close their mouths.

In the evening, the women make dumplings, the men get together to laugh and chat, and the children spend a lot of time playing.

Xu Haibo led his younger brothers to find out the glass canned bottle, wrapped the mouth of the bottle with wire, made a handle on it, and lifted it with a small stick.

Then nail the small wooden block, the candle sits on the small wooden block, and put it in the bottom of the jar, which becomes a simple lantern.

A few young people held a lantern, and then they dressed neatly, covered themselves tightly, and went out to play with the lanterns.

It’s still a 6,000-word update, I’ll take it easy and write more.
