Chapter 29: Chinese New Year and Red Envelopes
"Central People's Radio, good evening listeners and friends, the sound of firecrackers in the year old, the days increase the years and people increase life, it is now 19 o'clock Beijing time, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the week ...... In five hours we will welcome the arrival of the new year, in which I and... I wish you all a happy new year and a happy family......"
With the radio, the family finally had an entertainment item, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat around the fire and listened to the news broadcast.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, there is a Spring Festival Gala! But I can only listen to it.
But this is enough, the hard years, the rich spiritual world, contentment and happiness are the general psychological norms of this generation, most people eat bud rice and few people say that they are unhappy.
On the other hand, in today's society, the material is abundant, life is colorful, and the rapid development of informatization has made the earth a village, and most people are really unhappy.
What is this for?
I don't know, because I'm not happy.
There is a hydropower plant in the whole town, there may be many electricity users tonight, the voltage is unstable, the light bulbs are dim, fortunately, the fire pond is very prosperous, and the most important thing for people in the mountains is firewood.
Li Kui and Li Shan each poured a full cup of self-produced wine, and Yang Cuihua brewed the grain wine some time ago.
Li Mei is competing with a bottle of soda, and Yang Cuihua and Yang Yushan also each have a bowl of rice wine, which is also made by themselves, and the degree and beer are still a little sweet.
Good day!
A whole cup has to be made.
Family and everything is prosperous, and the most beautiful thing in life is that the family is reunited together.
There are seven or eight acres of land in Bao Valley, and there is a cold powder stall in the town, and it is not that there is no strength.
"Master, give me a small sip! I don't drink, I just lick!"
Li Feng was also an alcoholic in his previous life, and when he saw a cow ear cup next to him, the ghost couldn't help but pick it up and ask Li Kui for wine.
The eight-year-old body may pour the amount of wine bottle cap, but we can't bear it, the most important thing is to taste that taste.
Li Kui was in a daze for a while, and was about to take Li Feng's cup and give it to him.
"What kind of wine do children drink, if it weren't for the New Year today, the old lady promised to beat you today and not go to the ground!"
It's a pity that the cow ear cup was knocked over by Yang Yushan.
"Mom, I'm joking with my grandfather!"
Li Feng disguised, only then did he suddenly wake up and escape, picked up the bottle of soda next to him and poured a few sips.
Fortunately, the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on time, Jiang Dawei, Yan Weiwen, Dong Wenhua, and Mao Amin took turns to fight, and Yang Yushan quickly forgot about this stubble.
There were also occasional gunfire sounds outside the house, probably because there were bear children in the village picking up blind cannons on the ground and relighting them.
Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner or during the red and white celebrations, every household will set off artillery battles, and some blind cannons will cheapen children, and in the previous life, Li Feng did not pick up the blind cannon points on the ground, and his hands were blown up several times, and he was very happy.
The Spring Festival Gala was played until one o'clock in the morning, and the whole family also heard the end of the Gala on the edge of the fire pond, and only Li Mei was the only one who left the venue, and fell asleep in Li Shan's arms before ten o'clock.
Seeing that Li Mei was asleep, Yang Yushan deliberately carried her to Li Feng's bed and placed her, under the pretext that Li Shan had drunk and was afraid that the wine would smoke Li Mei.
The two of them are in the prime of life, and on special days, of course, they have to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new to make a wave of Normandy landings or something, Li Feng can only say that it is good, no problem.
I have a lot of dreams at night, I don't sleep on the first day of the new year, I have to wear new clothes in the morning, and I have to pay a New Year's greeting to my grandparents.
As soon as the donkey called Li Feng, he got up, and by the way, he woke up Li Mei beside him, and the new clothes of the brothers and sisters were already placed next to the bed, I don't know which one of the grandparents, fathers and mothers put them.
Li Mei is a set of red and white small floral clothes, as well as a pair of red embroidered shoes, Li Feng is a really good little tunic and a pair of new black cloth shoes, these are all made by grandmother Yang Cuihua usually, and they were only taken out for the brothers and sisters to wear on the first day of the new year.
Li Feng put on his own first, it fits well, and then he turned around to dress Li Mei, she shouted happily when she saw the new clothes, and Li Feng finally put them on for her.
"Ahh
Li Feng told her the story of Snow White some time ago, and Li Mei, who was wearing new clothes, asked innocently with dark eyes.
Li Feng looked at her red and white clothes, touched her head affectionately and said, "You are Snow Red, more beautiful than Snow White." ”
"Ah, really? I asked my mother to look in the mirror. Li Mei jumped up and ran away, looking for Yang Yushan to ask for a mirror.
Breakfast is walnut fried glutinous rice baba, which is a local tradition in the area of Woniu Village, and these days of the New Year are happy to eat this in the morning, instead of eating dumplings and rice balls.
The main reason is that this glutinous rice is more expensive than rice and white noodles, and I can't afford to eat it in normal times.
After breakfast, according to custom, under the supervision of Yang Yushan and Li Shan, Li Feng and Li Mei gave Li Mei and Yang Cuihua New Year's greetings.
Li Kui and Yang Cuihua sat in the right position on the edge of the fire pond, Li Feng and Li Mei knelt on the straw mat and faced the two of them, Li Feng shouted, "Happy New Year to grandparents, grandchildren and grandchildren give you New Year's greetings!"
Li Mei also did the same beside her.
Li Kui and Yang Cuihua smiled happily, and then Li Kui took out two small red envelopes, and Li Feng and Li Mei gave one to each other.
"Thank you grandparents"
Li Feng took it, according to the usual practice, Li Feng guessed that the red envelope was filled with five cents at most, and he put it in his pocket without looking at it, and none of the New Year's red envelopes he received when he was a child in his previous life exceeded one dollar.
Li Mei was a child, and she didn't understand the meaning of the red envelope, so she tore it open on the spot, took out the money in the red envelope and shook it in her hand.
"Dad, did you misplace the money!" Yang Yushan said beside him.
Only then did Li Feng see that Li Mei was dangling five yuan in his hand.
"That's right, our harvest is good this year, and the children should give more money for the New Year, so it's auspicious." Li Kui said slowly.
Yang Yushan turned his head to Li Feng and said, "Big Niu, you don't need to let the donkey go today, take your sister to the village to play!"
Then he instructed: "Don't play with mud, I won't beat you when you come back when your new clothes are dirty." ”
"For the Chinese New Year, don't always scare the children!" Yang Cuihua complained beside her.
On the first day of the new year, the village will be very lively, people will gather in the commissary, adults will mainly play cards, and there will be more things for children to play.
Li Feng pulled Li Mei's hand, and as soon as he left the door, he was stopped by Yang Yushan from behind.
"Take the red envelope to Mom! Mom will keep it for you first, and Mom will give it to you when you need it later." Yang Yushan changed her amiable smile, if it was only two cents and five cents, she would have forgotten it, but five yuan is a lot of money, and she is worried that the child will spend money indiscriminately.
"Grandparents gave it!" Li Feng said deliberately, knowing his mother's thoughts, and wanted to deliberately trick his mother.
"Give the red envelope to Mom, and Mom will give you candy!" Yang Yushan changed his way, took out two candies from his pocket and shook them in front of the brother and sister.
Li Mei looked at the sugar and then at the red envelope in her pocket, without the slightest hesitation, she very readily exchanged the red envelope for the sugar in Yang Yushan's hand.
"Silly girl, the money in your red envelope can at least be exchanged for a bag of candy, and you don't know if you were fooled by your mother. Li Mei didn't understand the meaning of money, Li Feng muttered in his heart.
"I don't want it, I'll buy it myself later. Li Feng deliberately took out the red envelope and shook it in front of Yang Yushan's eyes.
"Do you want to be beaten?" Yang Yushan changed his vicious face to scare Li Fengdao.
Forget it, don't tease my mother, maybe I will really be beaten if I continue to tease, and it is unlucky to be beaten on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Feng happily gave the red envelope to Yang Yushan.
Remember that you are not allowed to play with mud, and your mother will come after feeding the pigs. ”
Yang Yu flashed away.
