Chapter 1516 【1515】Mahjong Tile

There is no work during the Chinese New Year. All the ingredients that need to be cooked are prepared before the New Year, and only a little processing is required during the New Year.

Ding Wei's house looked crowded, so she actually went out to look for people during the day, especially her father. When he returned to his place, he would definitely chat with his friends. His mother accompanied the old lady around, including her brothers, who also went together.

Playing ball and shopping, my sister is looking for a younger sister, but she is not very gregarious. She doesn’t have many friends at school. She focuses all her attention on her own affairs and doesn’t have much time to make friends with her classmates, so there is no one at home.

She felt quiet and comfortable.

But she didn't expect that Xiang Feng would appear at her door under such circumstances.

She looked up at the big boy who was much taller than her. Unknowingly, he had grown so much taller. The black color was really black, but it did not affect his overall appearance. The angular face also changed due to the blessing of his skin.

He looked more and more manly. He was wearing a military coat and military hat, carrying a luggage bag in his hand, and there were still unmelted snowflakes on his shoulders.

"Aren't you welcome? Weiwei?" The hoarse voice seemed to be full of exhaustion. Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted immediately.

"How could it be possible? Come in, come in. I just didn't expect it. Is it snowing outside again? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. What are you doing?"

"I had already gone home. I had a fight with my mother and couldn't find a suitable place to go. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came here shamelessly. I'm sorry, I didn't give you anything this time.

You guys bring me, I didn’t buy anything during this Chinese New Year, so I’m going to try my luck here first this time, thinking that if you’re not here, I’ll find a way to find your village.”

Ding Wei quickly pulled him into the house, found him a pair of her brothers' slippers for him to put on, helped him take off his coat, took his luggage, arranged for him to sit on a chair in the living room, and then gave him

I poured a glass of warm water, looked at his hands that were red from the cold, and sat up suddenly again.

"You haven't eaten yet. I'll cook it for you right now. Everything is ready-made at our house. You need to rest for a while first."

Xiang Feng was obviously in a bad mood. She also knew that the relationship between him and his mother had become very tense because he was a soldier. This old man came out during the Chinese New Year, which showed that he had suffered a lot of grievances. She felt as much pain as if she were her own brother.

Seeing him like this makes me feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there were ready-made things at home. I turned on the fire and cooked steamed buns for him, stir-fried cabbage, vermicelli, tofu, balls, and meat for him. I also served him the cold dishes left over from lunch, and cooked him a bowl of hot and sour food.

Soup and hot meals were served on the table within half an hour.

Because it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, it was not meal time, so it was a little simpler, but Xiang Feng was very satisfied with his meal.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by my sister. It's so delicious. I set off on the 29th and was delayed for two or three days on the road before I arrived. I can't say how good I've been in these three days. What a blessing and a loss.

You are willing to take me in."

Ding Wei didn't have the nerve to ask him what happened, but seeing that his hair had grown long, his beard hadn't been shaved, and he looked aged at such a young age, she felt pitiful.

The brothers came back not long after, and their faces were filled with surprises as soon as they walked in.

"It's really Xiangfeng who is here. I thought those boys were lying to me! Hey, you boy, why didn't you say anything when you came so that I could pick you up?"

The second brother came up and gave Xiang Feng a fist. The eldest brother was not as jumpy as him, but he also looked at Xiang Feng with a face of surprise.

"Brother, you are here, eat, eat quickly, we will talk later."

The third brother and the fourth brother also said hello to Xiang Feng respectively, and Ding Wei took advantage of this moment to hold the fourth brother back.

"Brother, you can carry my sister and I's bed to your room later. Your place is big. Bring your bed to our room. Then go out and borrow a folding wire bed. Even big people like you can't sleep there. Me and

"Sister Qing, we are sleeping on a folding bed, so hurry up and borrow it,"

"It's Chinese New Year, where can I borrow it? I'll ask our dad to borrow it from the warehouse. There is a camp bed in the logistics warehouse."

Ding Jianshu slipped out of the door. The rest of the people took off their coats and sat around the living room. No one asked him what he had experienced. They chatted with him while he was eating, asking about things on the road.

Ding Wei went into the kitchen and cut apples and pears for him, and also got crispy persimmons.

Being surrounded by the friendly Ding family, Xiang Feng felt a little wet in his eyes. After a while, his parents and Grandma Zheng came back. When Xiang Feng saw so many people, he felt even more embarrassed, but his father comforted him.

"It's okay, don't worry, our house is enough for you. I just borrowed the wire bed. I will tidy it up for you in a while. You go to rest first. Since you are here, you can live at home peacefully. After so many years of love,

There is no need to be polite. If you don't dislike it, you will treat this place as your home from now on, and you don't need to be so polite with your uncle and aunt."

Grandma Zheng was very happy to see so many grandchildren, especially Xiang Feng who greeted her with a very polite New Year greeting. As soon as she was happy, she went to get the New Year's money for him, which made Xiang Feng even more embarrassed.

His parents also joined in the fun and gave him money. In the end, the young man blushed and accepted the three yuan of new year's money.

In this day and age, few people give out red envelopes. They are all given directly with money. It is so troublesome and trivial to use it for your own family. You are not allowed to use money to buy red paper.

The money given to the children in the yard is only 5 cents or 10 cents, which is a good idea, but the money given to my own children is relatively large, and one dollar is not too small. After all, I only earn more than 30 yuan a month.

, one dollar is equivalent to one day’s salary.

There are many Ding family members. Every word you say to me makes Xiangfeng laugh out loud. Together, the brothers dismantle Ding Wei and Ding Xiang’s beds, then assemble them in the living room, and then fold the two

The bed was carried to Ding Wei's room, and while the sisters were cleaning it, they went over to clean Xiangfeng's bed and rummage through the bedding.

Because he has a large family, Ding Wei originally made the old cotton into folding bed-sized mattresses, and the new quilts were made into single quilts that are 1.5 meters wide and 2.12 meters long. The eaves of the house are relatively high.

There are a lot of wall cabinets on top to store quilts, and all the useless things at home are brought back to my hometown, so even though there are many people, it doesn't look cluttered at all because there are no clutter.

Besides, their house is not too small, but it is a bit troublesome to go to the toilet when there are so many people. I believe that Ding Wei does not need to explain this, all the men will go to the public toilet.

Originally, I wanted him to take a rest after eating, but it turned out that there were too many people and it was difficult to lower his voice, so Xiang Feng refused, saying that sleeping at night would be the same.

Since he didn't sleep, his brothers hugged him and went to hang out in the factory together. It was not surprising that Xiang Feng knew their home address. He had sent so many packages before, and he could find the location just by asking.

Grandma Zheng went back to the house to rest after they went out. Ding Wei closed the door and prepared dinner with her mother in the kitchen. Because there were many people, she planned to make dumplings as the staple food, stir-fry a few vegetables, and share the table with exactly ten people!

"What do you think of Xiang's family? Isn't it because he kicked people out during the Chinese New Year to serve as soldiers? As for it, it's been so hard for him after all these years. Even if he gets angry again, he'll be back in a year.

Then once or twice, and the person has been admitted to the military academy, and still gets angry, that's a bit too angry."

Zhao Qingqing was deeply convinced by Ding Wei's words, but he still analyzed the problem from the perspective of an elder.

"You may not be angry as soon as you return. Something must have intensified the conflict. No mother doesn't miss her child. His brother's sacrifice may have left a shadow in people's hearts. As long as there is a trigger, it will

It will intensify the conflict, which is hard to say about the mother. There is another reason. Without the eldest son, there is the youngest, and he is in the middle, which is a bit embarrassing. His father is also a soldier? "

Ding Wei nodded, "Well, I'm not a young official yet. I used to be the Chief of Staff of the S Military Region. No, I heard that he was transferred to a certain military region in Hebei Province last year as a division commander. He and his mother did not go with the army because my grandparents were old.

, she is already familiar with life in the Northeast and is unwilling to go with her. We don’t know the details. Xiang Feng mentioned it when chatting with her brother, but didn’t reveal much."

"Then it's easier to understand. Think about it, the man was away from home all year round, and his eldest son died. His second son finally returned from the sea and was admitted to the military academy. His younger son also took him to school. He thought he had something to look forward to, and the result was definitely

What happened made this mother collapse, and then she said hurtful words, which spurred Xiang Feng to run out. By the way, the names of their children are quite interesting, the eldest brother Xiang Yang, the second brother Xiang Feng, and the little one

What is your son’s name?”

Ding Wei chuckled, "Xiang Wu, because his mother's surname happens to be Wu, which sounds like a homophone of Wu."

"How old are you?"

"He only got it after his eldest brother died. He is only five or six years old and has just started kindergarten. According to Xiang Feng, his mother has been very unstable since her eldest brother left. If it weren't for this younger brother, she would have gone crazy.

." More specifically, there is sustenance in the heart, otherwise psychological breakdown will lead to depression.

So from the few words Xiang Feng said, she could guess the character of this mother. She was probably in a state of depression. She was emotionally unstable, couldn't control herself, and couldn't be stimulated. Why didn't she join the army? Maybe it was for Xiang Feng's father.

It's a matter of face. After all, people in this generation don't know that depression is a disease. They will only think that she is crazy.

Based on such an analysis, the character of his younger brother is really shocking.

Xiang Feng said it was a quarrel, but actually it might be that he didn't want to affect his mother's current life.

To be honest, living in such a family is quite depressing.

When it was getting dark, the group of people went home. The two sisters Ding Wei helped their mother, and the old lady and Ding Zhenlong assisted from the side. The dinner for the first day of the new year was almost ready.

The staple food is three kinds of fillings: dumplings, sauerkraut meat, radish meat, celery oil and spinach stuffing. Later, four cold dishes and six hot dishes are prepared, because there are still more dry goods left, with spinach, radish, lotus root, and cabbage.

, potatoes, and celery were also put together for six hot dishes, and the cold dishes were jelly, croquettes, asparagus and their local eggs.

Because all the meat at home was stuffed into the dumpling fillings, potatoes were fried with meat slices, spinach was paired with eggs, radish was stewed with braised pork, lotus root was made into glutinous rice and lotus root, and celery was mixed with shredded pork. Although it was not rich enough, there were still meatballs.

, crispy meat, chicken nuggets and fish nuggets are used to make bowls, so they are finally integrated together and fill a big table, and you can see the care taken.

Probably because of Xiang Feng's participation, Dad rarely took out the old wine: "Come on, come on, this year's New Year's Eve, you all will have a drink with me."

His mother couldn't bear to spoil his mood and just told him: "Drink less and pay attention to your health."

Xiang Feng looked at Ding Zhenlong in surprise, and then noticed a patch of sparse hair on his forehead. Ding Zhenlong saw that he was concerned and said with a smile.

"It's nothing. I smashed my head years ago and it's healed."

"Then uncle, it's better not to drink anymore. Your health is important!"

Their mother told them not to worry: "Just drink less. It's rare for Xiang Feng to come to my house to celebrate the New Year. You guys drink slowly."

"Did you hear that? Opportunities are rare. Normally your aunt won't allow it. Come on, come on. Don't talk nonsense. Let's touch one of them."

The wine glasses at home were all covered in dust, so I took this opportunity to take them out and clean them. The six of them started chatting next to each other.

In this era of underdeveloped Internet, the Chinese New Year is really very humane. When everyone sits together, there seems to be endless topics to talk about.

How is it like the later generations? Only the elderly watch the Spring Festival Gala, while the young people all have a mobile phone, and the games are more powerful than their parents.

After dinner, they also took out mahjong. Ding Wei was not interested in this, but couldn't help but they didn't know much about it. The reason why they bought mahjong was because it was processed in the mulberry picking warehouse. The box outside was smashed. Thinking about three things,

After handling the yuan, she thought her family needed some fun during the Chinese New Year, so she took it home.

But none of them knew how to play, so Ding Wei could only sit down and teach. Even her parents and the old lady were watching. She took them to play for about ten games, and they almost knew how to play.

"Okay, you guys are playing, I have no interest in it, but it's fun to make money. You all take out your pocket money. We are equally novices. Let's see who is more capable and wins more money!"

Ding Xiang looked eager to try, and Ding Wei couldn't help but tease her.

"You miser, don't lose all your pocket money,"

One sentence frightened Ding Xiang, "Well, then I'd better take a look again!"

Ding Zhenlong, his wife, and Grandma Zheng also expressed their opinions after watching one game after another.

"This game is quite interesting!"

"Mom, this is very addictive. Some people lose all their money just to win money from this game. Our family just plays for fun. Some people regard this as their life. If they don't play for a day, their hands will itch.

Therefore, it is not recommended for people who are not self-disciplined to learn this.”

Zhao Qingqing waved her hand as soon as she heard this: "I'm usually too busy to play this, but this game is cleverly designed. I've seen it before, but I didn't know it was called mahjong. If you hadn't learned about mahjong tiles just now,

The origin of it, I didn’t know it was invented by the famous Zheng He!”
