Chapter 37: New Year
"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, calling everyone over is to give you a year-end bonus, except for the housekeeper, Li Danian and Wende no one has twenty yuan, everyone else is ten yuan, don't be reluctant to spend money, make money is to spend, I wish everyone to earn more next year." !”
Song Xiaoyue handed the money bag in her hand to the housekeeper and motioned for him to send money to the subordinates!
The housekeeper sent them the money one by one, and handed the rest back to Song Xiaoyue!
"I'll go to the city later, and if you get the name, come with me!"
"Butler, Li Danian, Liu Yong, Huang San, Wende, Xiao Feng, Luo Zhong, Daylily, Tang Yan, Yin Yiyi, Hua Rong, Hua Yan, Wang Fang and Song Mei, you will go to Moxian County with me to do something, and the rest of the people will stay at home and take care of their homes!
The people who were named were a little excited and nervous, standing in the courtyard and looking at Song Xiaoyue, Song Xiaoyue ordered them to go down and prepare the carriage!
.............
The family happily came out of the house together, and the housekeeper had already prepared the carriage and waited for Song Xiaoyue and them at the house gate!
The group asked for three or two carriages, and went out in a mighty way, of course, the Song family sat in the best car, and then the other two cars were for the employees. The housekeeper had a few of them in a car, and it was Luo Zhong who drove the car. Yin Yiyi and the others sat in a car, and it was Xiao Feng who drove the car!
Three carriages lined up and entered the city with such a big bang.
The wind was biting cold outside the carriage, but because everyone was in a good mood and high spirits, they didn't feel cold, and they had already arrived in the city before they could say enough!
Song Xiaoyue took the lead in taking everyone to the house she bought two days ago and put the carriage in the carriage, and took them in for a visit, Song Dad and the younger brother were very satisfied!
The furniture in the house had already been moved away by the original owner, so Song Xiaoyue asked the staff at home who knew how to make furniture to write down what was needed in each room, and the wood was eaten at home, as long as they were responsible for making the furniture.
Tang Yan, Yin Yiyi's girls couldn't be idle, and when they saw that the house was a little dirty, they started to clean it up!
By the time Song Xiaoyue and Li Danian had memorized the dimensions of the room, Tang Yan and the others had almost cleaned up the yard!
After locking the door of the house, Song Xiaoyue took everyone shopping!
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if there is no money, the family must buy two pounds of pork, and they must be neatly dressed without torn clothes.
Song Xiaoyue and his party of 22 people, some people want to visit here, some people want to visit there, and their opinions are not unanimous. Song Xiaoyue had no choice but to arrange for everyone to divide into several ways and go their own way!
The employees have already distributed the expenses, and Song Xiaoyue has sent money to the family, so that they can buy whatever they want, and now that the conditions at home are good, they can squander it casually!
Song's father and his younger brother went to the bookstore with the silver taels, and the mother and eldest sister took Tang Yan and them to go shopping for supply and marketing, and the housekeepers didn't know where to go, and even the grandparents wanted to go around and eat some good things that they had never eaten, leaving Long Ying and Song Xiaoyue with nothing to do!
"Get out of the way, everyone get out of the way, my car is not working on the brakes, help......!
I saw the young man riding a bicycle rushing towards Song Xiaoyue, because it was downhill, and the 28 bicycle was too high, the young man couldn't brake his feet without touching the ground, and the people around scattered in a panic.
Long Ying saw that he was about to hit a pair of old men when he saw the bicycle, so he rushed out and blocked the bicycle with his body, she didn't know the pain at all, and there was a gasping sound on the side of the road, and finally stopped the car.
"Are you alright?"
Song Xiaoyue helped the man with a defeated face to pick him up and asked.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry, how is your family, do you want to see a doctor. ”
The young man was very uncomfortable avoiding Song Xiaoyue's support, and looked at the dragon shadow worriedly.
"It's okay if you're okay, there are a lot of people on the street, you push the car home, see where you want to rest, don't be so reckless next time!
”
Song Xiaoyue instructed a few words, and then left with Long Ying!
"Wait a minute, my name is Li Yan, what's your name, let's get to know each other." ”
Li Yan suddenly grabbed Song Xiaoyue's sleeve, and his expression was very uncomfortable.
"My name is Song Xiaoyue, you don't need to know me, you can go home quickly. ”
Song Xiaoyue was also a little unnatural by Li Yan, and asked Li Yan to let go of her sleeves with a dry smile!
"Song Xiaoyue, I remember, your name is very good. ”
When Li Yan heard Song Xiaoyue's name, he actually became a nymphomaniac!
"Is there anything else?"
Song Xiaoyue was a little impatient, and asked Li Yan a little coldly!
"Can you help me lift my bike, my ankle seems to be hurt, I want to marry a doctor"
Li Yan's eyes seemed to be like Song Xiaoyue would not give up if she didn't agree. , pitifully begging Song Xiaoyue! Although Song Xiaoyue had goosebumps, she still relented!
"Let's go, there's an old Chinese medicine doctor in front, you can buy a pair of shoes by the way. ”
After Song Xiaoyue finished speaking, she took the lead in walking to the front, and Li Yan hurriedly chased after her, but she lost one shoe, and she walked one tall and one short, which was a little funny.
Long Ying shook his head in the back, does this little boy like Song Xiaoyue, his face is so uncomfortable, and he secretly looks at it, it is estimated that he is not far from ten.
While Li Yan was seeing a doctor, Song Xiaoyue hurriedly left with Long Ying!
"Long Ying, what's the matter with this Li Yan? It's like a dog's skin plaster, you can't shake it off! This man is the same as a woman. ”
"Men are unmarried and women are unmarried, there is nothing wrong with it, you are a girl after all, if you see it and like to get along, you have to get married anyway!"
Long Ying rolled his eyes and complained that Song Xiaoyue was here!
"Whoever said that I must get married, I also want to be a single nobleman. ”
Song Xiaoyue doesn't like people to say that women still have to marry and teach children in the end, get married and the like, as if women can only have this way in the end. !
"Why be angry, isn't that so? ”
"Of course not, don't say that in the future. ”
"Understand, if you don't get married in the future, okay. !”
Long Ying hurriedly appeased Song Xiaoyue, lest she get angry again!
"Don't go shopping, I'm not in the mood!Go back to the house and wait for them!"
Song Xiaoyue made a stinky face and left angrily!
Song Xiaoyue was able to be in front of the house for a while, and her mother and relatives came back one after another!
It's almost noon, and everyone who has been shopping all morning is hungry, and their chests are pressed against their backs!
Song Xiaoyue had no choice but to take everyone to the restaurant for dinner, no one had ever eaten in the restaurant, everyone's eyes widened, so many people ate together, but it cost a lot of money.
Song Xiaoyue couldn't find a seat, and she was about to leave when she was in a bad mood!
"Song Xiaoyue, it's you, we really have a fate?"
Unexpectedly, I met Li Yan in the hotel again, it was really ghostly! Song Xiaoyue's face was even darker!
"Kid, I advise you not to talk to our boss, she's in a bad mood. ”
Long Ying saw that Song Xiaoyue ignored Li Yan, and quickly helped Song Xiaoyue to relieve the siege, and also resolved Li Yan's embarrassment!
"Why are you in a bad mood, this restaurant is opened by my family, and I will give you a place to sit as a thank you. ”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he walked away like the wind, and Song Xiaoyue's face darkened when she heard that the full building was opened by Li Yan's family!
Soon, Li Yan came back and took Song Xiaoyue and the others to a large private room on the second floor, where the tables and chairs were obviously just placed and could seat everyone.
Before Song Xiaoyue could order, Li Yan had already arranged for someone to come to Song Cuisine, which was the signature of the restaurant.
Crispy suckling pig, sizzling squid, crystal shrimp dumplings, braised lion's head, steamed sea bass, fish head tofu pot, boiled sea prawns, steamed crab and pigeon bird's nest soup!
"You all relax your stomachs to eat, if it weren't for Xiaoyue, I would definitely fall dizzy today, missing arms and legs, if you still want to eat what you don't have here, you can also say. !”
Li Yan pulled Song Xiaoyue to sit down as he spoke, and personally peeled the shrimp shell and unloaded the crab meat for Song Xiaoyue. The enthusiasm made Song Xiaoyue feel big, Song Dad and her mother watched them and secretly laughed, and they didn't come to help her out!
At this meal, everyone was satisfied, and praised the delicious dishes in the building! Only Song Xiaoyue was sitting on pins and needles, and she didn't know the taste of food!
This meal was naturally invited by Li Yan, and Song Xiaoyue wanted to settle the bill three times and twice, but Li Yan blocked it back, so Song Xiaoyue had no choice but to give up!
Everyone ate and drank enough, thanked Li Yan for his warm hospitality, and went to the house to take a carriage together!
On the way back, Song Xiaoyue was teased by her family all the way, so she had to sulk and fall asleep unconsciously!
When I returned to the Song House, it was already Shen Shi, and the housekeeper immediately arranged for someone to paste couplets, window flowers, blessing characters and door gods, and set off firecrackers after pasting, and the whole Song House was jubilant all of a sudden!
In the evening, a few tables were set up in the inner courtyard, and the uncle's family was called to have a reunion dinner with Hemeimei!
After eating, the people of the uncle's family went back! Han Shui and the others are preparing for tonight's bonfire party again!
According to Song Xiaoyue's meaning, a New Year's bonfire party was held for the inner courtyard, with the theme: barbecue!
Everyone used to live a tight life, it would be good to be able to eat, where did the barbecue come from, it was also stained with Su Yuchun's light, and now not only can you eat enough, but you can also get some fresh tricks.
Everyone ate barbecue, around the warm bonfire, I don't know who started the head, and finally everyone danced around the bonfire, until the time passed, the bonfire party dispersed!
Song Xiaoyue was woken up by the sound of firecrackers all over the village, and just wanted to plug her ears and sleep for a while, she was dragged up and dressed by Yin Yiyi!
New Year's New Weather, everyone is wearing festive clothes!
Song Xiaoyue is no exception, Yin Yiyi gave Song Xiaoyue a set of red clothes embroidered with colorful embroidery thread on the front and back, this cartoon Zhu Bajie is an embroidery sample drawn by Song Xiaoyue, and the eldest sister embroidered Zhu Bajie's demeanor with Wei Xiaowei!
It's not that Song Xiaoyue doesn't want to wear modern clothes, but even if she does, it's not easy to do it in this environment, even if she says that the eldest sister won't do it.
This set of clothes is made of the best silk given by Boss Zhou, and the pattern of the eldest sister embroidery is also new, as soon as Song Xiaoyue put it on, the two little girls with beautiful faces and faces were next to her and said that they looked good!
Yin Yiyi hung the jade pendant and sachet on Song Xiaoyue's belt, thought about it, and took out the gold collar Jin Ping'an lock given by Boss Lin from the jewelry box on the dresser and put it on Song Xiaoyue.
After eating, Song's mother counted everyone's age, and the local people were born even if they were one year old, and after the New Year, they were one year old.
The eldest sister is a Shen Nian person, a monkey, and her birthday is the sixteenth day of the first month, and this year is the year of the year!
The younger brother is a native of Yinnian, a tiger, and his birthday is the eleventh day of the first month, and he is nine years old this year!
Father Song is also a native of Yinnian, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-three years old this year, and his birthday is the second day of the second month of February!
Mother is a person of Chennian, a dragon, a year old today Chinese New Year's Eve, and her birthday is February 28!
"Happy New Year, Second Sister,!"
The younger brother Song Hao smiled and greeted Song Xiaoyue, Song Hao used to be very naughty, and he also liked to tease Song Xiaoyue, since Song Xiaoyue became the pillar of the family, he respected the second sister more and more.
"Hao'er, Happy New Year!"
Seeing her younger brother so sensible, Song Xiaoyue was also very happy and in a good mood for the New Year.
"Hao'er, let's go, let's go to visit grandparents and Song's parents together!"
"Okay! It's time for the New Year!"
The sister and brother hooked their shoulders and walked to the main room!
After greeting the elders in the family, there are four more red envelopes in the hands of the two!
Song Xiaoyue and Song Hao were curiously counting the copper plates in the red envelope, when they vaguely heard someone shouting outside the door: "Song Hao, Song Hao, are you there?"
The two immediately stopped their movements, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully: "Hao'er, Hao'er, come out to play!"
Someone really called him outside the door, Song Hao grabbed his red envelope and walked out!
Soon, he brought back a few little children, including Li Cui's little brother Li Ergou, Li Cui's cousin Li You, Xiao Yan's younger brother Xiao Huzi, and Widow Li's dog!
These little children are the same age as Song Hao, and before Song Hao went to study in a private school, he often played with them, but he was very familiar!
Except for the dog, the other three children were all dressed in new clothes. And the dog, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was wearing an old dress with patches! It can be seen that the life of this mother and son is really sad, and Song Xiaoyue has compassion!
Song Xiaoyue ran into the living room of the main house, took some candy and peanuts and melon seeds from the table, filled some for everyone and put them in their pockets, patted their heads and let them go to the yard to play!
Dogan touched the candy in his pocket, but he was reluctant to eat it, and looked at Song Xiaoyue stupidly, for fear that Song Xiaoyue would ask for the candy again!
Song Xiaoyue grabbed another handful of candy from the living room and filled the other pocket of the dog's egg!
"Dog, when you've had enough, go home and call your grandma, and say that there is something good to look for her. ”
"Okay, I'll go, you wait. ”
After the dog finished speaking, he pressed the candy in the two pockets with his hands, and ran out!
Song Xiaoyue followed the little boy to play with sandbags, although she was much older than the child, but there was no hindrance of seniority when playing, and everyone was very happy.
Just as he was about to play other games, Goudan came in with his mother-in-law, Widow Lee!
"Yueyue, what's the matter, is my baby breaking something in your house, he is a hairy person, I have taught it many times. !”
Widow Li had a sad face, she was not yet thirty years old, and the corners of her eyes were already wrinkled! Her hair was tied in a bun casually, and the dress she was wearing was no longer the original color, and it was covered with patches, and her shoes were torn with several holes.
Song Xiaoyue looked at Widow Li, Widow Li felt that Song Xiaoyue was staring at her, a little uncomfortable, and a little overwhelmed, shrunk her toes to expose the outside, and lowered her head a little embarrassed!
"Aunt Li, the dog didn't get into trouble, I called you over today to ask if you have time to come to my house to help?"
"I don't know anything for your house, what can I do when I come to your house......?"
When Widow Li heard Song Xiaoyue's question, she was a little excited, a little apprehensive, and finally felt inferior again! .
"Aunt Li, let's do it! After the New Year, come to my house to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year! You can help my family feed the pigs and chickens, or sweep the yard and wash clothes, etc., you can pack three meals, and the children don't eat much, if you want, let the dog also come to my house to eat, you see if it's okay." ”
"Yueyue, you didn't take your aunt to brush it, you are really a good person, now your family is not short of people, but you are still willing to give your aunt a chance to make money, you pity our mother and son before they said this, give us this job, how to repay you!"
Widow Li was about to kneel down after speaking, but Song Xiaoyue hurriedly stopped her!
"Aunt Li, they are all in the same village, who can you help if you don't help each other, I used to get the help of your family when my family was down, and I will be a family in the future, and I will come here to report after the New Year, and someone will arrange a job for you." ”
"Then I'll go back with the dog!" Widow Li owed to Song Xiaoyue and led the dogan out!
Song Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not in the mood to play with those little children, so she went back to the West Wing to find the book of "Tai Chi" and read it!
Just after a few strokes according to the graphic moves in the book, Xiao Yan, Li Cui, Lin Meier and a few girls came in to find Song Xiaoyue, Song Xiaoyue had no choice but to close the book and go out with them!
went to the back cover house together, the eldest sister hid in the embroidery room on the first day of the new year to embroider things, and when she saw Song Xiaoyue and them coming in, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and beckoned everyone to sit in the living room outside!
"Sit down, sisters, come on, have some snacks!"
The eldest sister pointed to the peanuts, melon seeds and pastries on the table, and beckoned Lin Meier and Xiao Yan to sit down!
There are many places where there are women, and there are also many places where there are girls! As soon as they sat down, they began to discuss and gossip about the east and west!
"Eh, have you all heard? Wang Cuihua at the head of the village is going to marry an old man in the town after the New Year, I heard that he has died of his wife, and his life is relatively hard, and the fortune tellers have said that he has to marry his wife and come back to divide his life, and poor Wang Cuihua is about to be killed. ”
The person who said this was a chubby girl, her name was Zhu Xiu, and she was fourteen or fifteen years old. Wang Cuihua in her mouth is a hard-working person, she has no father and mother since she was a child, and it was her only brother Wang Da who pulled her up! Although there was nothing to eat at that time, after all, the two brothers and sisters were cut off from gold.
