Chapter 67
Because Lin Weiguo came back, he brought gifts back to everyone in the family. Therefore, the Lin family has been very happy this year.
Although there are many rules in this era, for the villagers in the village, especially some elderly people, many traditions left over from the past cannot be lost.
In addition to pasting some couplets with period characteristics on the door. In the evening, he will lead the children in the family to observe the New Year and distribute pocket money to them.
Although the amount of pocket money is not very large, for children, there is money at their disposal.
After receiving the New Year's money given to her by Cheng Xiangju, Lin Su obviously felt that the red envelope in her hand seemed to be thicker than her brothers and sisters.
Before Lin Su could think about how to deal with this situation, Cheng Xiangju said: "The red envelopes given for the Chinese New Year this year, Sanya's are thicker than your red envelopes. It's not that I'm eccentric, but Sanya's results in this final exam are very good. This is my reward for her as a grandmother. When you get two perfect marks in your next final exam, I'll reward you too. ”
Hearing Cheng Xiangju's words, the children who were still staring at Lin Su's red envelope suddenly withdrew their gaze at this time. didn't even dare to raise their heads and look at Cheng Xiangju, after all, Cheng Xiangju's requirements were too high, and they felt that they had no way to achieve it.
In addition to Cheng Xiangju, several other elders in the family also gave each child a red envelope. Although the amount in the red envelope is not large, it also represents the blessings of the elders to the younger generations.
Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Lin Su was under the leadership of his brother and sister. Play with the children in the village and play in the village.
The adults in the village, at this time, are rare to no longer restrain these children.
On the second day of the first lunar month, it snowed heavily. This heavy snow made most people in the village feel very happy. After all, this is a sign of a good harvest in the new year.
However, heavy snow also has a not-so-good side.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the village chief began to gather some people from each household to remove the snow together. In addition to cleaning up the snow on some roads in the village, they also had to clean up some of the snow on the mountains.
Although the work of removing snow is hard, each family can get five centimeters a day. You must know that during the autumn harvest, adult men can only get ten centimeters a day. Five centimeters is a lot for them.
Therefore, most of the villagers are very willing to participate in this work. Even when the village chief organizes everyone to remove snow, most families will rush to participate.
Therefore, the village chief could only make a rule that only two people from each family could go out to clear the snow.
In previous years, Du Xiaomei and Lin Yongjun went together, and this year, Lin Weiguo thanked Yu Du Xiaomei and Lin Yongjun for helping him raise Lin Su.
Therefore, when the village chief recruited people to remove the snow from each household, Lin Weiguo offered to remove the snow for Du Xiaomei. Of course, the division of work is still Du Xiaomei's.
Du Xiaomei disagreed at first, but she couldn't stand Lin Weiguo and Cheng Xiangju persuading her, so Du Xiaomei accepted Lin Weiguo's kindness.
At the same time, she also secretly made up her mind in her heart. When Lin Weiguo goes out next year, she will have to be more dedicated to Lin Su.
"Dad, when you remove snow, you must pay attention to safety. By the way, you wear more. You may not feel cold when you stand in the snow. But if you don't pay attention, you can easily get frostbite. Even if it's hot while removing snow, you are not allowed to take off your coat. ”
Hearing Lin Su's words, Lin Weiguo couldn't laugh or cry. He rubbed Lin Su's head and said, "Got it, my little housekeeper." Don't worry, Daddy will take care of himself. Okay, it's cold outside today, don't follow your brother, your sister and they can't run away, stay at home with your milk to roast the fire!"
After Lin Yongjun and Lin Weiguo went out, Lin Su obediently followed Cheng Xiangju and returned home.
Although Lin Weiguo came back from a business trip to the provincial capital this time, he bought gifts for everyone in the family. However, he simply forgot about himself.
They have a custom here, and they can't use needlework on the first day of the Lunar New Year. So early yesterday morning, Cheng Xiangju took out a few of Lin Weiguo's old clothes and changed his clothes. It's kind of making him a new dress.
The relationship between the ancestors and grandchildren is very good now, and Lin Su was when Cheng Xiangju made clothes for Lin Weiguo. Just beside him, he helped Cheng Xiangju thread the needle or something.
Just when the two of them are having fun. Suddenly, I heard someone banging on the door of their house. Hearing this somewhat hurried knock on the door, whether it was Lin Su or Cheng Xiangju, they all chuckled in their hearts, and they always had a bad premonition.
Cheng Xiangju hurriedly jumped to the ground, put on her shoes and went out to open the door.
"Lin Laosan, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly come to our house and knock on the door? Is something wrong?"
"Aunt Cheng, did your family remove snow today?"
Hearing Lin Laosan's words, the bad premonition in Cheng Xiangju's heart became more and more serious.
"I want my eldest and fourth eldest to go out to remove the snow, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Something happened to the people they were removing the snow. When they were removing snow in the back mountain, the snow on the back mountain suddenly fell for some reason. Eight or nine of the people who removed the snow were buried under the snow. I'm going to let you know now, and if you have any snow removal in your house, let's go and see it. I'm going to have to find someone to help, so I'll go first. ”
Hearing Lin Laosan's words, whether it was Cheng Xiangju or Lin Su, or Du Xiaomei who had just come out of the house. At this time, I felt that there was something going on in the world. They never imagined that such a thing would happen just by going out to remove snow routinely.
At this time, Du Xiaomei couldn't even support herself, and sat there all of a sudden.
Seeing Du Xiaomei's appearance, Cheng Xiangju, who was also a little soft all over her body, forced herself to calm down, and said to Du Xiaomei: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you are now at home to take care of the house." I'm going to go to the place where the accident is going on, what the hell is going on?"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiangju raised her legs and walked out of the door. Lin Su didn't squeak at this time, and kept following behind Cheng Xiangju. Also walked out.
