Chapter 61: Happy New Year

"Hello~"

There are a total of ten chickens and five geese at home, Lu Ze holds a basin, which is filled with rice bran, and puts it in the pen to beckon the poultry to come and eat the bran, as for the pigs and dogs, there are no pigs at home.

"Wei Guo, is Wei Guo at home? Hey, when did Daze come back?"

An old man who was quite strong pushed open the iron door, greeted Lu Weiguo, and asked happily after seeing Lu Ze.

"I came back last night, my dad was watching TV in the house, what's the matter, second master?"

Lu Ze is also smiling, this is the only remaining grandfather of the old Lu family, other uncles and the like, the second master and Lu Ze's grandfather are the same mother, as for Lu Ze's grandparents, they have passed away.

"I won't call your dad when you're at home, go, go with the second master, the second master's family killed the pig, come and help." ”

This is the tradition of the Northeast countryside, before the New Year, the family pig will generally kill a pig to prepare for the New Year, the past to help the family members, will also be distributed pork to take home, and the first pork is made of the famous pig killing dish.

"Okay, I'll go over now, let's go into the house, second master, and drink some tea with my father." ”

Changing into a green labor protection army coat, Lu Ze followed to the second master's house, Lu Nan, the girl, also had to join in the fun, but Lu Ze had no choice but to take her with him.

Yesterday when Lu Ze came back was a meal, there was no one on the road, this morning there were more people on the roadside, after seeing Lu Ze, they all greeted warmly, the old Lu family did not have that catastrophe, in fact, the living standard in the village is okay, and the old lady of the Lu family is highly respected in the village, basically anyone can have a relationship with the old Lu family.

Lu Ze's grandmother originally gave birth to four children, but unfortunately the eldest and second died young, and the third was an aunt who had married to the south, although she was often in contact, she hadn't seen Lu Weiguo for a long time, only Lu Ze went to her aunt's house to give gifts during the holidays.

There are already a lot of people in the yard of the second master's house, all of them are from Lu Weiguo's cousin's family, and there are also several children who are playing around in the yard, occasionally making his father angry and being smothered.

More than 300 catties of pigs have been tied, lying on the wooden shelf with a strong call, and after the hot water boils, the second master handed the knife to Lu Ze, Lu Ze is not the first time, took the knife and scraped it on the whetstone.

The cigarette butt was spit on the ground and stepped on it, and it opened a horizontal opening on the pig's neck, and in an instant the blood flowed out, Lu Nan put the basin, and the blood flowed into the basin without dropping.

The pig began to writhe and howl wildly, and children would inevitably feel scared when they heard this kind of sound, but Lu Ze's hand did not tremble at all, and he continued to lay the knife smoothly, someone pressed the pig's head, which saved a lot of things, and Lu Ze easily put away the pig's blood.

Therefore, the children of the same generation in the village and Lu Ze, who have seen Lu Ze kill pigs, are basically afraid of Lu Ze, and they have been killing pigs since they were fifteen or sixteen years old, bleeding pigs with expressionless faces, and the older generation with the knife is not as good as the older generation, who is not afraid!

After that, the stomach was cut open and the water was thrown, the intestines were washed by the women, and the blood began to be poured into the pot and steamed, the pork was also cut, and the sauerkraut began to stew, and after a while, the yard was full of fragrance.

After drinking a glass of liquor with a group of elders, Lu Ze turned his eyes to look at Lu Nan, this girl was very happy to eat, and she didn't look scared when she killed the pig just now.

When Lu Ze was a child, he doubted whether his sister was a fool, and proposed to let Li Yumei take her to the hospital to check her intelligence.

After all, he saw that the little girl was not as naughty as Lu Nan, daring to tie firecrackers to the tail of the ox, going to the house all day to uncover the tiles, and stealing the old man's cigarette pouch to go to the toilet to secretly smoke two mouthfuls and was caught by Lu Ze, and was beaten by Lu Ze every day, crying when she was beaten, and found that no one paid attention to her, so she put away her tears and continued to stick to her brother who was cruel to her just now.

After fighting too much, there will always be times when he is injured by mistake, at this time Lu Nan will feel aggrieved and ignore Lu Ze, but as soon as he saw that Lu Ze had something delicious in his hand, he immediately stopped his face, ran over and apologized to Lu Ze instead.

Thinking of that time, Lu Ze smiled, touched his sister's long black hair, Lu Nan pouted with chopsticks in his mouth, glanced at Lu Ze in wonder, shook his head and took Lu Ze's hand away, stretched out his arm to clip a piece of pork into his mouth, and gave it to her four-year-old nephew.

.......

"Send the God of Wealth, take a God of Wealth, don't collect money, increase happiness and longevity in the New Year!"

Carrying pork back home, there was a gift to the God of Wealth, which was actually a piece of plastic paper with the God of Wealth and the New Year's calendar printed on it, which could be pasted on the wall.

Lu Ze took out five yuan to him, this is the rule, when people come to send, they must give money, and the other party must also talk about the rules, the first time they give money, they can't accept it, they must say that they can't ask for money to send the God of Wealth, they must argue a few times before they can accept it, and then say a few good words to the family before they can turn around and leave.

Lu Ze estimated that a piece of paper wholesale would cost only a few cents a piece, going door to door, going through each village, and the net profit would be almost 18,000, just a few days.

Lu Ze once also thought about doing this job to get some money to spend, but he was scolded by Li Yumei, saying that it was a shameful business, only outsiders could do it, and locals could not do this business if they starved to death.

"Go ahead and put it up. ”

handed it to Lu Nan, Lu Nan took the order, posted it on the top of the TV, and asked Lu Weiguo if it was right.

Lu Ze changed into clean clothes, went to the cabinet in the east house, put incense on his grandparents, and after kowtowing, he pulled Lu Nan to buy New Year's goods.

This time slot is agreed, everyone takes a van or tractor to the town, and everyone collects money to give the driver some gas.

It must be a violation of the traffic law to do this, but there is no way, the road is not easy to walk, Murakami always has to buy New Year's goods, this habit has been maintained for more than 20 years, fortunately there has been no accident.

I went to the town to buy a lot of things, not only my own family, but also to go back and forth, Lu Ze now has nephews, and he has to buy a dozen red envelopes, change change in the town, and go home with him.

In the village, the New Year's money for children is usually twenty or fifty yuan, and Lu Ze does not plan to give a few hundred yuan for a large head, and a child can get fifty.

.......

Twelve dishes, four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, what Lu Ze looked forward to since childhood was the hot meal on the Chinese New Year's Eve table, basically after the New Year, looking forward to the coming year after more than three hundred days.

The lights at home are on, the TV is playing the Spring Festival Gala, Lu Nan is lying on the kang and playing with his mobile phone, Lu Weiguo and Li Yumei are wrapping dumplings, because they don't have two fingers, Lu Weiguo can only help roll the skin.

Lu Ze picked up his mobile phone, walked to the east house, plugged in the charger, charged the mobile phone, and flipped through the contacts.

Compared with previous years, Lu Ze's circle is much larger this year, and there are many people who need to be contacted, such as the leaders in the company, Shen Jinghan, Cheng Yuan, Guo Mingde, Song Guiyuan, Zeng Long, Liu Le.

As for the people in the group performance circle, there are still some actors who are not familiar with each other, so Lu Ze directly sent a group text message.

There are also directors he knew when he was a special, there are very few contact information for this kind of director, after all, not every director can chat a few words with a specialty, not to mention leaving contact information, in order to expand his network and become familiar, he still called one by one.

As for

"Remember, the eighth day of the new year, you have to give me to Tengchong, eat less during the New Year, don't get fat in a few days, that's it, hang up." ”

Finally hung up Guo Mingde's phone, Lu Ze lay on the kang and stretched his waist hard, he was tired after making too many calls, he was really tired.

The phone rang, he called again, Lu Ze took it, looked at the screen, stayed for a second, and then answered the phone with some hesitation.

"Lu Ze! Happy New Year! Listen! We have a lot of flowers here, very beautiful! It's a pity that you can't see it, are you back to Luhua now? Lu Ze? Hey?"

Lu Ze didn't speak, his throat seemed to be blocked with a 10,000-year-old phlegm, stuck in his throat so that he couldn't say a word.

"Hello, is it Lu Ze's phone? Hey, is it a mistake?"

"Huh? ahem...... It's me, just ...... The signal wasn't too good just now. ”

"Alright then, Happy New Year!"

"Well, Happy New Year. ”

"That'...... Am I hanging?"

"Good. ”

I hung up the phone, and there was two knocks on the door.

"Brother, it's time to eat! it's almost twelve o'clock!"

"Got it. ”

Spit out, Lu Ze put on his shoes and came to the West House, sitting next to Lu Weiguo, this is the Spring Festival Gala and the bell ringing, and the family of four is focused on the TV.

"Let's count down together! 10...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven...... Six...... Five...... Four....... Three...... Two....... Happy New Year!"

There were also firecrackers in the village, Lu Ze looked out the window, and a ceremonial flower flew into the sky and exploded......

"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year, Dad, touch one. ”

After taking a sip of wine, 2017 is here, and the New Year is good......

“.......”
