After lunch, Li Qin moved to his younger brother's yard.

They have already started chatting while preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

This year there are more Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun in the family, and her cousin and niece have already been sent home for the New Year.

"Hey, Qiu Nan, why are you sitting this year? There are two tables in the living room?"

"What two tables are there? After you leave, I'll ask Zhu Wen to make the tables for us and put them in the pavilion."

"Hey, my daughter-in-law is my daughter-in-law after all. It's a beautiful job. I was thinking about moving the table just now."

"Okay, don't be poor, go and kill that chicken in the yard."

Ding Qiunan smiled and pushed his man out of the kitchen.

It turned out that Jiadong had killed all the chickens, and was waiting for the boiling water on the stove to boil before plucking.

"Xiao Chu, you can get that fish in the pool platform."

"Come on, sister, I'll do it now."

"junzi"

"Where is my sister?"

"Peel the potatoes."

"okay"

"Wenxuan"

"Auntie is here"

"Go to the kitchen and chop the meat"

"OK"

Li Qin was like a manager, assigning tasks to idlers.

"Jiadong, where's your father?"

"Mom, my dad took Haohao out just now."

"Hey, old man, he runs away when he's doing work."

"Auntie, what are you doing? I'm here."

"The child fell asleep, Yueyue?"

"Well, put it on the bed."

"Have you plugged your ears? Don't startle the child with the sound of the cannon outside."

"It's already plugged."

"That's fine, look at the vegetables in the basin on the ground and wash them clean."

"OK"

"Mom, the water on our stove is boiling." Xiaojuan came over from the small door, holding a kettle in her hand.

"For Jiadong, it just so happens that he plucks chicken feathers, and it will be useful to make another pot later."

"Got it, Mom."

"Juan'er, bring over the pot of meat and skin jelly that we have marinated in our kitchen later."

"good"

Seeing that the work was almost done, Li Qin pulled a small bench and sat down under the eaves, picked up the leeks on the ground and began to pick them.

"Qiu Nan"

"What's wrong, I'm in the kitchen."

"I just want to ask, are your parents sure you can't come? It's so lively here."

"I asked a few days ago, and they were not willing to come, saying that they would celebrate the New Year with them."

"Talk about it, this old couple is really, how lively are the New Year's people, can't let someone drive over to pick them up, the food they make can be eaten after two days, it's cold and not afraid of bad weather."

Ding Qiunan came out of the kitchen, obviously moved.

"Okay, I'll pick up the fish after I've finished, and I'll pull them over." Li Chu, who was picking up the fish, looked up at his wife.

"Xiao Chu, don't get fish for now, go pick them up now, I think they might be preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner right now, so go earlier and stop busying yourself, just bring people here."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Leaving as soon as he said that, Li Chu threw the fish he had just killed and was digging out back into the basin. After washing his hands, he went into the house to put on his coat.

"Wenxuan, where are your car keys? I can drive your car more spaciously."

"It's on the coffee table in my room."

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Ding Qiunan pursed his lips, smiled, turned around and walked into the kitchen to continue working.

Li Chu drove the car all the way to the family courtyard of the Grain Bureau.

The guard at the gate recognized him a long time ago, poked his head to see that it was him in the car, and then walked out of the guard room and opened the big iron gate.

"Director Li, come and see my father-in-law!"

"Ah, I want to take them to my place to celebrate the New Year, come, Lao Liu, continue."

Two packs of cigarettes flew out of the car, and Old Liu, the guard, hurriedly caught them.

"Director Li..."

Before he could say a word, the car was already moving in, only one hand stretched out from the window and waved it twice.

He lowered his head to look at the two packs of Hongmei cigarettes in his hand, then raised his head to look at the rear of the car, and couldn't help muttering: "Hey, he deserves to be an official, and he earns more money."

Every time Li Chu came over, he would give him or his counterpart a pack or two of cigarettes, which caused the two guards to come and open the door faster when they saw his car than when they saw the chief's car.

In the past, the coal sheds that were built in front of the family courtyards were allocated to each family, and some briquettes and other sundries were placed in them. Later, they were no longer called coal sheds and were changed to car sheds, because the function of use has changed, and everyone uses them. Gas, no need to buy briquettes.

At the gate of the family courtyard of the Grain Bureau, there are very few people who pull carts and sell briquettes. They all know that the gas is already connected here.

However, some people will still buy it. It is still relatively cold for a period of time before heating every year and after the heating is turned off. People with elderly and children at home will still light a stove.

In fact, it is very convenient to have a stove at home. It is very convenient to make a pot of water on it, and hot water can be used from time to time, especially in winter. Before going to bed at night, seal the stove, put a pot of water on it, and wash it when you get up in the morning. It is quite comfortable to have hot water.

Many people are reluctant to use a gas stove to boil water for washing.

Not to mention putting a steamed bun on top to bake. In this era of lack of snacks, it is the favorite of many children.

Mama Ding and the others live in a building that is farther away from the front building. There is not only a coal shed downstairs, but also a small garden where many people play every day.

That is to say, there are fewer cars now, otherwise the cars in the yard would be blocked.

After parking the car, Li Chu went up to the second floor in three steps and knocked on the door. From outside, Ding Ma's loud voice could be heard directing Jianguo to open the door.

"Brother-in-law? When did you come back?"

"I just came back last night, are you all at home?"

"Everyone is here, come in brother-in-law."

As soon as he entered, the room became lively.

Everyone knew that he had gone on a business trip, and seeing that he hadn't come back on the 28th or 9th of the twelfth lunar month, he thought that he would not be able to come back this year for the Chinese New Year, but unexpectedly he came back in a hurry.

"Mom, don't be so busy, pack up and go to my place for the New Year."

When Papa Ding heard what his son-in-law said, he beamed.

In previous years, it was a big family and it was so lively. This year, there were only five of them, and the house suddenly became much deserted. The old man didn't even have any thoughts about celebrating the New Year.

"Why are you going to your place? Take a look, I have prepared so many things here."

"Mom, put all these on the balcony, open the window a little, the weather won't be too cold, let's go, we're all waiting for you.

Jianguo, Nana, go back and pack up your things, prepare to leave Moji, and wait for you to go to work. "

Li Chu's involuntary attitude made them peek at each other, but Mama Ding had to make this decision.

"Hey~ let's go, Xiaona, just change Kaikai into new clothes and just bring another coat. The same goes for you. Don't take too many things. You'll be back in two days."

"Got it, Mom."
