After Guo Shugen finished pasting the couplet in the morning, he began to squat (squat) at the door and smoke dry cigarettes, Yufen'er Niang shouted several times to let Guo Shugen build a fire, Guo Shugen didn't care, and he didn't speak, and the angry Yufen Niang scolded several times. In fact, Guo Yufen knew that her father was waiting for her younger brother Guo Liqing.

Guo Liqing married a literate daughter-in-law, Zhang Guifen. A regular worker, a primary school teacher, teaching in a primary school in downtown Yanzhou, the two talked about the object for two years, and then because of the house problem, Zhang Guifen put forward a request, must have a set of buildings in Yanzhou City to get married, Guo Shugen's family situation is not rich, Guo Liqing's pair has been stranded, and finally there is no way, Yufen Niang felt sorry for her child, knelt in front of Guo Yufen, begged to move Li Qiang's compensation right, and then bought a house in the city. Guo Liqing got married and began to work part-time in the city, and only came back a few times a year for the holidays.

Guo Yufen knew that her father missed his son, this was waiting for Guo Liqing to come back and then build a prosperous fire, Guo Shugen waited left and right, but waited for his grandson Li Xiaojun, Li Xiaojun began to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather outside the gate, but Guo Shugen didn't have a dime in his pocket, so he had to carry his grandson into the house, Li Xiaojun gave his grandmother a New Year's greeting again, and when grandma happily took out the New Year's money that had been prepared early and gave it to Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun took the red envelope, quickly took off his shoes and put on the kang, and got into his mother's arms. After all, it is his own child, the mother and son have a lot of affection on the top of their heads, Li Xiaojun took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and handed them to Guo Yufen together with the red envelope of his grandmother just now, and said: "Mother, mother, big red envelope, you save for Ne, and when Ne grows up, give it to Ne's daughter-in-law." The adult-like tone amused grandma, grandpa and Guo Yufen both laughed.

After being lively for a while, Guo Shugen happily turned around and went out of the street again, waiting for Guo Liqing. When it was close to lunch, Guo Shugen stood up from the door and was about to go to the house, but at this time, the beep outside the door remembered the sound of the car horn, and Guo Liqing took a taxi to take his daughter-in-law Zhang Guifen back for the New Year. Not only Guo Shugen was excited, but Yufenniang also greeted her excitedly, leaving only Guo Yufen making dumplings by herself and Li Xiaojun playing on the side.

Guo Liqing took his daughter-in-law to carry two large bags of things, and entered the house accompanied by his father, and saw Guo Yufen making dumplings, shouting: "Sister, where are the dumplings? Zhang Guifen, who followed behind her daughter-in-law, reluctantly shouted "sister" and did not say anything more.

Although Guo Yufen also has a problem with her younger siblings, she has to be polite during the New Year, and she hurriedly beckoned the two of them to go to the kang. Li Xiaojun hurriedly shouted to his uncle and aunt who were on the kang: "Uncle, aunt has a good New Year, uncle, aunt has an auspicious New Year." "For children in the Chinese New Year, it is a top priority to press the New Year's money.

Guo Liqing stroked Li Xiaojun's head with his hand, and said: "This nephew is really the heart (pro, cute, the most intimate meaning)" But there was no move to take out the red envelope, Li Xiaojun looked at his uncle with blank eyes, and saw that his uncle was not moving, and shouted unscrupulously: "Uncle, what is the New Year's money?" At this time, Guo Liqing's daughter-in-law took out twenty yuan from her pocket tremblingly and handed it to Li Xiaojun, it was obvious that she did not plan to prepare a red envelope for her nephew, Li Xiaojun happily took the money and moved it to his mother's leg.

Guo Liqing and his daughter-in-law's actions made Guo Yufen very uncomfortable, in the face of her father, she didn't have a seizure, but her face became ugly, Yufen Niang naturally saw it, and hurriedly played a round: "Liqing, Guifen and the two of them are busy, they have been in the car all morning, take a break and warm up." ”

After the Chinese New Year, Guo Yufen knew that although her surname was Guo in this house, after all, she and her son Xiaojun were outsiders, and after eating this meal at noon, she was going to take Xiaojun back to the small courtyard of the back kiln where she had not lived for a long time, and the daughter who got married, even if she became a widow, could not stay at her mother's house at night Chinese New Year's Eve, this is the folk custom, the day of reunion, but the folk ...... without human touch.

Later, Jiang Er's pager beeped and beeped, all of them were New Year's greeting news, the sea, Jiang Ping's, Li Qi'er's, Jia Bangguo's, Xiao Siyan's, and even Zhang Yuanyuan and Liu Yunshui also sent messages, Jiang Er thought that he also wanted to reply to the news, others don't say it for the time being, the senior brother and the third master must be greeted.

Yu Shanqing's shop is very prosperous today, all the children in Sandaopo are buying things with New Year's money, Jiang Er is crowded in the children's pile and dialing the phone one by one, paged, Yu Shanqing is also very busy, and he can't care about greeting Jiang Er.

Jiang Er gave people a New Year's greeting one by one, and seeing that Yu Shanqing was busy, he stopped chatting and paid the money back to the store, but he didn't expect the little four eyes who had not been seen for a long time in the store, and the little four eyes looked at Jiang Er with an apologetic face and said: "Good New Year in Ergang, Ne made a special trip to pay New Year's greetings to Ergang, Ergang, that, the things that were a few days ago were not done well, and it was harmful to Ergang." ”

Jiang Er knew that the fault of this matter was not Xiao Siyan, and he blamed the other two people for their insatiable greed, so they got into trouble, not to mention that this little Siyan was still good to him, he warned in advance, and said politely to Xiao Siyan: "What are you talking about, they are all their own brothers, seeing that they are like this, they can't get along in the future?"

Jiang Er thought that the little four-eyed had made a special trip to thank him, and beckoned the little four-eyed to eat melon seeds and sugar. Xiao Siyan was not polite, he was grateful to Jiang Er in his heart, and put aside the past, their group of people committed the taboo of the hall, most of Rongzi needed to cut off half of his fingers, and Qiao Sanye also explained in the future, it was because the three of them were doing things for Jiang Er, and they made mistakes in a moment of confusion, so they didn't move the family rules, but just made up for the gap in private goods, and the matter was over. This result made Xiao Siyan think that Jiang Er was a great character, and he would be closer to Jiang Er in the future, but how did he know that Jiang Er was very annoyed with him, not because of Xiao Siyan's personality, but simply because of his profession, thinking about how to make Xiao Siyan change his temperament and no longer make a living by stealing chickens and dogs.

At the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even the driver who ran the taxi gave himself a holiday, and the people rushing on the street could only walk, but Xiao Siyan had no intention of leaving, and took out his own poker, and recruited Jiang Er, Dalin, and Bai Ying to play with the dragon (poker game in the northern Yanbei area). Jiang Er was also in a panic, and he had to relax after all, so the four of them brought the lottery and took one dragon and two yuan.

This play until the sun went down, the village house in Sandaopo sounded the sound of firecrackers before the meal, the four people stopped, Erlin played by himself for an afternoon, the small firecrackers in the store were vigorously released, tired of playing, now sitting on the bench watching TV, Bai Ying looked at the time, and then looked at the little four eyes who did not plan to get up, white four eyes, and went down to make Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. They are all ready-made steamed buckle bowls, and the dumplings wrapped at noon are frozen on the windowsill in the backyard, which is very convenient.

Jiang Er couldn't see that Little Four Eyes was preparing to stay for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so he said to Little Four Eyes, who was cleaning up the poker: "Four Eyes, why don't you stay here in Ergang and celebrate the New Year together." ”

The little four eyes were thinking about how to mix a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here with Jiang Er, and after listening to Jiang Er's words, he pretended to be embarrassed and responded: "Okay, Ergang, Na Ne is here in Ergang for the New Year." ”

In the past few years, the little four eyes have been in the office of the Three Tigers and other Rongzi for the holiday, but this year, because of the accident, do not invite people in the yard to see, and there is no place to sit in the morning, and the dumplings at noon have not eaten a few bites, I feel aggrieved, and I want to go home, but I remember that I quarreled with my father and mother a few years ago, and the general manager who was kicked out of the house really has nowhere to go, so I want to come to Jiang Er, and I look forward to Jiang Er staying for the New Year.

Dalin is also a good person, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Siyan to clean up the things on the kang, set up the table by himself, and everyone watched the TV and waited for Bai Ying's buckle bowl to start cooking.

Jiang Er looked for the plate, took out the photos of Jiang Banxian and his mother from the shoulder bag, there was a ready-made tablet seat in the counter, pasted the photo of Jiang Banxian and the old couple, and put the incense case on the counter in the outhouse.

Bai Ying looked at the rice almost cooked, beckoned Dalin to sound the cannon battle, Jiang Er also lit incense here, the cannon battle sounded, the incense of the gods was lit, everyone helped Bai Ying bring the Chinese New Year's Eve meal to the table, put on the kang, raised the wine glass, although there was Xiao Siyan in the house as an uninvited guest, but it was rare that Xiao Siyan was familiar, making the atmosphere in the room lively, as if this was Xiao Siyan's home, beckoning Jiang Er and these outsiders to gather together for the New Year.

The wine touched, the chopsticks moved, Jiang Er's heart was warm, how many years, he celebrated the New Year alone, and this year someone accompanied him. Dalin is also excited, and he no longer has to watch his younger brother watch other people's fireworks during the New Year. Bai Ying is happy, no longer have to curl up in the bed at night, looking forward to the sunrise. As for the little four eyes, behind the heartless eating and drinking, will they think of their parents? Probably only he knows.

The fire in the stove had long been extinguished, the leftovers in the pot were still on the stove, and the chicken wings were lying on the bed alone, sleeping soundly with their clothes .......

Guo Yufen was alone in the hut in the back kiln, watching TV, the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's sketch "Police and Thieves" introduced Guo Yufen giggled, which made Guo Yufen forget her trouble......s for a while.

Jiang Ping obviously drank a little too much, and danced on the kang to tell his father and mother about his fun and anecdotes in the unit......

Dahai and Chunling raised their wine glasses and saluted Dahai Niang, Erhai was like a stuffy gourd pestle on the kang without saying a word, Dahai Niang motioned to the sea to look at your brother out of the corner of her eye, Dahai raised her face and slapped Erhai on the shoulder, signaling Erhai to raise her glass, Erhai raised the wine glass with both hands, Dahai Niang immediately raised the wine glass, and the cups of the four people on the kang touched together .......

Li Qi'er had finished her Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and accompanied her son Li Fei to light firecrackers in the courtyard, while Lamei was lying on the windowsill in the house and watching, her face full of happiness and .......

In the main hall, Li Youyi and Li Youqing, Li Youbing's many cousins, entered a small room in the main house, the hut was placed with the tablets of the ancestors of the Li family, the old brothers went to the incense and sacrificed to the ancestors together, and returned to Li Youyi's house together, a table of sumptuous meals, only men and women are in Li Youbing's house, at this time of year, the people in the main hall really get together and talk about the deeds ......of the ancestors.

With the ringing of the bell at twelve o'clock in the Spring Festival Gala program, every household in Yanbei area lit firecrackers and lit a prosperous fire, and the pile of pagoda-like fires burned, like a fire dragon swirling and soaring, symbolizing our prosperous days, the New Year has passed, spring is coming, and the land of Yanbei is about to recover.
