Chapter 228
In Mu Mu's impression, the first day of the Lunar New Year is very early. Almost every household gets up at four or five o'clock in the morning.
The first thing I did when I got up was to make sacrifices, set off firecrackers, light fireworks, and then busy eating breakfast, after which the neighbors went to each other's doors to greet each other.
Originally, it stands to reason that I finally took a vacation and wanted to enjoy life quietly.
This Chinese New Year, I am more tired than usual, and if a person encounters a cold, the whole person is deformed.
There is no way, sometimes, just like that, it's not one family, two families have the final say, but customs have the final say.
Ye Minghong said: "Starting next year, these customs will be canceled. We of the older generation say that it is not easy for you young people to come back. In addition, now that everyone has taken out loans to buy a house, this tiring custom is exempted. The customs are exempted, but their own relatives will still come, and they still have to be prepared. You don't have to wake up so early. ”
A great piece of good news, tiring customs, must indeed be omitted. Otherwise, this busy waist can't stand up.
There are dozens of families in this village, and they have to go from house to house, and they have to sit down to drink tea and chat, at least for hours.
"Finally, it's time to get a good night's sleep. Mu Mu held the phoenix cage in his hand and prepared to sleep on the second floor.
"You go up to sleep first. We almost went to sleep. Ye Minghong said.
"Okay. You've worked hard. Mu Mu carried the phoenix cage and went to the second floor.
Upstairs, she sat on the edge of the bed, boiled the hot water bottle first, and then put it in the quilt, and when the quilt warmed up a little, it was already early in the morning, and at this time, some people began to send messages bombardment.
New Year's greetings, what to say goodbye to the old year and other news.
Most of the people who sent these messages were sent in groups, and very few of them were edited by themselves.
Mu Mu received several different text messages, including Qin Jifan, Yang Lin, Li Zhu, Cao Meixuan, Liu Quan, Li Mingming, etc.
Mu Mu also replied to them sincerely.
By the time she finished texting, it was almost there.
This rice wine has a bit of stamina, and with this energy, I sent a message, and I fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, it was already the next morning. The alarm went off, and it was already 9 o'clock.
She got dressed and came to the kitchen, Ye Minghong was hot dishes, and Mu Daorong was helping to add firewood.
Seeing that Mu Mu was up, Ye Minghong asked Mu Daorong to go to the sacrifice, light firecrackers, and light fireworks.
Mu Mu followed behind Mu Daorong and came to the hall to help take out the firecrackers, which Mu Daorong was carrying.
There are 10,000 firecrackers and 60 fireworks, which is the first time that it is so expensive to set off at home.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, firecrackers were put down at will, 500 sounds, but now everyone is used to buying expensive ones, and buying the most loud ones.
If you don't control the fireworks and firecrackers, I'm afraid it will blow up the sky.
Mu Mu took out his mobile phone and took a video at this time.
The pace of the fireworks was fast, and they were all set off at once.
After the shooting, the child next door ran for the New Year, and when he saw Mu Mu, he said: "Auntie, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope." ”
Mu Mu smiled, walked to the room, and took some candy for the child.
Mu Daorong was on the side and explained: "Auntie, I'm still studying, and when I make money, I'll give you a red envelope." ”
The child was also joking, the candy Mu Mu brought back was actually quite delicious, the child saw the beautiful packaging, and said: "Auntie, I wish your life is as sweet as this candy." ”
"Okay! ”
......
Today's children are quite lively. It's cousin Mumu's child.
Almost every family has two or three children, and several families have four or five children. Some are more traditional, and they have to give birth to a son, and I heard that there is a family that has given birth to five daughters, and they are still alive, and the house they live in is still the same as before, and the house is still covered with tiles.
In the countryside, if you don't farm, most of them rely on part-time jobs to make a living, and if you have four or five children, it is impossible to start a business, and the money you earn every month is spent on your children, and sometimes it is not enough.
Therefore, if there are many children, they dare not take them to the big city to raise, so they have to be placed in the countryside, because the cost of living is cheap, as long as there is food and drink.
Even the clothes were worn by my sister and left for my sister to wear until she could no longer wear them.
......
When Mu Mu saw this, he didn't know what to feel in his heart.
This generation replicates the generation, and individual women seem to have become tools for procreation.
Of course, this is someone else's business, it's just that she feels that women, sometimes, seem a little unfair.
If it were her, even if she had money, she would probably be tired of raising so many four or five children.
When she saw this, she was a little afraid of marriage.
This is what she is worried about, if she marries someone nearby in the future, everything else is considered, and she must be in charge of having children, otherwise all this will not be discussed.
In the future, he can't meet her condition, and would rather not marry.
"It's time to eat. Amu. Mu Daorong came out of the kitchen with food, interrupting her train of thought.
"Okay" Mu Mu asked the child next to him by the way: "Have you eaten?" Why don't you eat at my house?"
Children also like to join in the fun, always thinking that other people's meals are more delicious, but in fact, they just change their tastes.
"Auntie, what kind of food are you eating? The child followed Mu Mu to the table.
Mu Mu introduced: "Bacon, chicken thighs, ......"
"It smells so good. "The child is also welcome, wants to eat, but is a little embarrassed.
Mu Mu looked at them and said, "Have you washed your hands?" Eat together. ”
This New Year, wherever you go, there is food, almost every family has children, for food, every family will not be stingy, although the child is small, but after eating, will go home and tell the parents about the situation.
Although Mu Daorong has not yet hugged his grandson or granddaughter, he is still very good to the neighbor's children, and some children are used to eating it, so he gave them a piece of lean meat.
"Come, come, everyone tastes a piece first, and if it's delicious, eats it later. ”
Mu Daorong took chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of lean meat for the seven or eight children around him, and they reached out to catch it, eating with relish.
After eating, some people went home and brought bowls to eat.
Some of the children's parents didn't let them run around, and some of them cried, but they had no choice but to bring them over.
"Look at these babies, they don't eat the meat at home, so they have to come here to eat crying. ”
The woman who spoke was Mu Mu's cousin-in-law, and when she saw that they were all coming, she took a stool and asked everyone to sit.
Mu Mu said to the children, "Whatever you want to eat, I will give it to you." Let's see who eats more, okay?"
"Okay!"
As soon as the children were numerous, they would compare themselves with each other, and the amount of food would become larger, and everyone would eat a small bowl of food.
Fortunately, they were all finished, and Mu Mu was also happy to see this scene.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I saw so many people as soon as I opened the door, which showed that I was popular.
