Mrs. Jia Zhang sits on the left side of Banggan, and the deaf old lady sits in the first place. On the left is the uncle, then the aunt, then to the left is Mr. Jia Zhang, to the right is He Yuzhu, then Wang Zhong, and then He Yuyu

, He Yuyu happened to be next to Xiaodang.

There were ten people sitting at the same table, which was quite lively.

Despite the fact that He Yuzhu usually looks like a fool, this kid is actually very arrogant in his heart. He doesn't understand anything about worldly things. He looks at everyone without even moving their chopsticks.

Silly Zhu took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and said: "What are you waiting for? Use the chopsticks to eat!" Then he picked up a chicken leg and put it in the bowl of the deaf old lady next to him.

There was only a slit left in the deaf old lady's smiling eyes, and she looked at He Yuzhu with a doting look on her face: "My grandson still loves me."

The old lady usually stayed alone in the backyard, never leaving the door or taking a step forward. It was rare that the scene was so lively, and the smile on her face never stopped.

"I specially reserved this chicken for you, just one!" There were many people here today, so there were only two chicken legs, so He Yuzhu simply cut up the remaining one, leaving only one for the deaf old lady.

Just doing this thing is pretty good, otherwise it would be troublesome if a chicken leg had to be humbled.

"Eat quickly!" The deaf old lady squinted her eyes, grabbed the chicken leg, and started to nibble on it.

The deaf old lady was old and had bad teeth. Silly Zhu went out of her way to accommodate her and stewed the chicken until it was very soft.

Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another. Jia Zhang, with his quick eyes and quick hands, picked up two pieces of chicken and two dumplings for his grandson Banggeng.

Qin Huairu had to take care of the Sophora japonica, and Yu Yu helped take care of Xiaodang.

It was the time for children over two years old to make a fuss, but little Sophora japonica sat on Qin Huairu's lap and did not cry or fuss. She was very obedient and allowed Qin Huairu to feed her.

The first uncle, He Yuzhu and Wang Zhong started drinking.

The wine is the Hongxing Erguotou brought by the uncle, which is strong and generous.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the sky was still dark, and Wang Zhong had already woken up. The darkness could not block Wang Zhong's sight at all. He got up and turned on the bedside lamp, put on his clothes and put on his cloth shoes. After briefly brushing his teeth and washing his face, he looked

After looking at the fire, he pushed open the door and ran out.

After a while, he ran out through the city gate, found a deserted place in the suburbs, and started boxing.

When Wang Zhong came back, every household in the courtyard had already started eating.

Wang Zhong then started to make breakfast slowly and leisurely. He made porridge with cornmeal and steamed buns stuffed with pork and green onions. They had been made in advance last night and only had to be steamed over high heat for thirty minutes before they could be eaten.

There are still dumplings wrapped last night in the frame under the eaves outside. At this time of year in Beiping City, there is no need for a refrigerator. If you put the dumplings outside the house overnight, they will be no different from the frozen ones in the refrigerator.

After breakfast, Wang Zhong picked up the bamboo basket, pickaxe and a thick-backed short knife nearly two feet long, tied everything to his bicycle, and was ready to go out.

"Brother Wang Zhong, let's go out!" As soon as everything was fixed on the bicycle, the sound of rain came from the hanging flower door.

Wang Zhong turned around and saw He Yuyu wearing a brand new red cotton-padded jacket, with two braids hanging in front of his shoulders, and a felt hat on his head. His little face was pale from the cold, and he looked a little cold.

Delicate and charming: "It's rain. What are you doing so early in the morning?"

He Yuyu said: "Isn't it the first day of the Lunar New Year? I'm thinking of wishing you a happy New Year!"

"Brother Wang Zhong, Happy New Year!" He Yuyu said with a smile and bowed his hands to Wang Zhong to wish him a happy new year.

"Happy New Year!" Wang Zhong also replied with a smile.

He Yuyu looked at the equipment on Wang Zhong's car and asked curiously: "Brother Wang Zhong, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

Wang Zhong said: "I'll go cut some ice on the river outside the city and come back! I'll see if I can catch fish by the way."

"Ice cutting?" He Yuyu guessed a lot, but he didn't guess that Wang Zhong was going to cut ice: "What are you doing to cut ice?"

Wang Zhong said: "Save it for when the weather is hot and then use it."

"When the weather gets hotter, won't all the ice melt?" He Yuyu asked in confusion.

Wang Zhongdao: "As long as it is stored well, it will be fine if it is kept for a summer. At most, it will lose a little bit."

"Can ice be preserved?" Obviously this is beyond the scope of He Yuyu's knowledge and belongs to her blind spot of knowledge.

"Of course it can be saved!" Wang Zhong said.

He Yuyu blinked, not worrying about how Wang Zhong stored the ice, but simply introduced himself: "Brother Wang Zhong, I have nothing to do anyway, I will go with you and help you!"

Looking at the girl's fiery eyes, Wang Zhong said: "That's okay, but you need to change your shoes first, and remember to wear gloves!"

"Brother Wang, wait for me!" Yuyu didn't care about anything else and quickly turned around and ran back to his house.

Yu Yu's house is in the east wing of Zhongyuan, next to Jia's house. Together with He Yuzhu's three-bay main house, Lao He's house has the most houses in the yard.

Within a moment, Rainstorm ran out in a hurry, with an extra shoulder bag on his shoulder.

Wang Zhong had already taken down the rattan frame that was originally tied to the back seat, carried it with a horizontal pole, and tied it to the frame of the bicycle.

"Brother Wang Zhong, let's go!" Seeing Wang Zhong deliberately empty the back seat of the bicycle, Yu Yu's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

Since we need to get ice, we naturally can’t go downstream.

An hour later, the two came to the upper reaches of the Wenyu River. Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were already many people fishing on the ice along the river. These days, fishing is not only a pastime, but also fish to eat. The city within the city

People go fishing almost all year round.

The two of them rode far away, and there were no people around them. They parked their bicycles on the bank, locked them in a tree, and walked to the middle of the river. Wang Zhong used a pickaxe to dig out two 30-centimeter round holes.

Wang Zhong first spread two handfuls of his own bait to make a nest, and then took out the two short poles he brought. After assembling them, he handed one of them to Yui Yu.

The rain had never caught any fish, so Wang Zhong could only teach him step by step: "These wheat grains and corns have been processed. Just hang them one grain at a time. Hang them like this!"

Rainwater looked serious, imitating Wang Zhong's actions and hung up the bait.

I don’t know if it was the luck of the novice, but as soon as the rain dropped the rod, there were fish biting the hook immediately.

"Don't worry, don't pull hard, otherwise it will break!" Wang Zhong quickly took the fishing rod from Yu Yu's hand and personally demonstrated how to slide the fish.

A few minutes later, a crucian carp of about three to four ounces was pulled up.

"Brother Wang Zhong is so awesome!" The Peanuts fan girl immediately clapped her hands and applauded after the rain.
