Chapter 157: Playing with a Lion

Preparing a lot of New Year's goods, Fang Ren was returning home, and his younger brothers and sisters were running over and hugging him. The family has built a two-story small building, and the neighbors are all envious.

In the 80s, there were 10,000 households in the village, and that was a great thing. In the nineties, 10,000 yuan households will definitely not work, but if the family can have a deposit of 10,000 yuan, it can be regarded as a medium family.

In the 80s, most of the villagers were able to turn their long-standing mud houses into brick houses, but in the 90s, very few built buildings. It wasn't until after the turn of the century that the villagers built buildings one after another.

This shows that in the 80s, the gap between the rich and the poor between the villagers was not very large, and as long as they worked hard, they could basically improve their houses and live in brick houses. However, the further back on, the gap widened, and at the beginning there were very few people who could build buildings, and later, there were many people who could not afford to build buildings, and the income gap widened.

His family has suddenly built a building now, which is undoubtedly a very dazzling new star in Wadian Village. At this time, there was not a single building in the village. At most, a bungalow was built.

Wang Youcai's wife came to the house, found her mother, and was close to her for a long time, saying that their family was developed and made a lot of money, and they talked for a long time.

When Wang Youcai learned about his family's current situation, he also sighed and couldn't help shaking his head, the Fang family's current situation was really beyond his expectations.

He was a 10,000-yuan household back then, and he wore a big red flower in the township, but now he can't compare.

My parents' clothing store earns more than 20,000 yuan a year, although it is not much, but it is much better than doing others. Mom and Dad's faces were naturally happy.

The annual Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived. Firecrackers have been sounding everywhere in the village. The main road in the village was full of children, and it was very lively.

Every household also began to post couplets and hung red lanterns, which was full of New Year's flavor.

Fang Renzheng was sitting in the room on the second floor at this time, looking at everything outside. It's been a year and a half since I was reborn, and it's really a sea of mulberry fields, the ancients are cloudy, and the good are good for the world, and the poor are good for themselves. When he was poor, he didn't think about crooked ideas to make ill-gotten gains, and now he doesn't say how rich he is, but at least he has turned over economically, and he wants to make a name for himself and help the world.

The Spring Festival Gala in the evening was held as scheduled. The younger brothers and sisters sat in front of the big color TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala program. A beautiful song about ninety-eight came, and Fang Renzheng felt as if he was in a dream.

Hearing this song again, it was as if he had returned to the past and the present, and he wondered later, why did he only meet for ninety-eight, not for ninety-nine, and for two thousand years?

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Coincidentally, on the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, light snow began to fall, and when it came to the morning of the first day of the new year, I opened the door and it was snow-white outside, which was really a good sign.

I remember that there has not been a scene of snow on the first day of the new year for many years, and the day of rebirth is like time immersed in wine, so it makes people feel mellow and delicious.

The snow has stopped, and the majestic snow has not stopped people from going out, and the crowd of people who are paying New Year's greetings is already walking on the road.

Fang Renzheng briefly washed it, and then ate a dumpling. This time, my mother didn't let my younger siblings eat vegetarian dumplings, but directly wrapped the meat-filled dumplings.

The poor are particular about eating, and they are particular about how to save and eat less, and the rich are particular about how to dress beautifully, and the economic base determines the superstructure, which is not wrong at all.

He took his younger brother out to pay New Year's greetings, and when he came back after a circle, he saw a group of people gathered at the door of his house, and when he got closer, it turned out that it was the first few people in the village who played lion to visit his house to pay New Year's greetings.

The village has always had a tradition of playing lions during the Spring Festival, which is also a cultural entertainment activity for the villagers, but later, no one wants to play it.

They mainly go to the big families in the village to pay New Year's greetings, and then ask for a few cigarettes or some money, which can be regarded as a holiday gift. Whose house they go to means that their family is a big family in the village, and they are considered to be the upper class of the village.

If it is an ordinary household, they will definitely not go, and if they go, they will not give any gifts. Originally, they didn't come to his house last year because they didn't know what had changed in his house.

And now that he has built a two-story building in his house, it has obviously changed, so he came to his house.

As soon as he turned his head and saw him returning, the crowd of lion puppets immediately gathered around him. Fang Renzheng waved his hand and smiled at them, and walked home.

"Taisho, it's a New Year's greeting to you, hurry up and get the good things out, so that everyone can celebrate and celebrate. And the lion player said with a loud voice.

Fang Renzheng listened, turned his head and smiled: "Then you have to play a good trick." ”

As soon as Fang Renzheng spoke, the lion player began to beat gongs and drums, and the lion was played, and the surrounding neighbors came to watch, and there was a lively scene at the door of Fang's house.

After playing for half an hour, they came to ask for something again, Fang Renzheng saw this, took out a thousand yuan from home, and said to them: "I don't have anything prepared at home, wait until next year, I'll be ready, you can use this thousand yuan to buy gifts." ”

The shot is 1,000 yuan, which makes the lion trickster happy, you must know that they have been playing the lion for a long time, and others will give them a hundred or ten yuan at most, how can Fang Ren be generous.

The lion player left happily, and when the neighbors saw it, they also sighed, lamenting that the Fang family had become the richest man in the village since then.

Father and mother were distressed about this matter for several days, Fang Renzheng didn't care at all, let them not care about these things, having a good reputation is more important than money.

At least in the future, the people in the village will look at their family differently, and this is enough, such a result is not something that money can buy.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Ren was resting at home, when suddenly a figure appeared at the door of their house, and his younger brothers and sisters hurriedly went out to take a look. I saw a person pushing a bicycle, looking left and right, but he didn't dare to enter, and after seeing his younger brothers and sisters, he asked, "Is this Fang Dazheng's home?"

The younger brother and sister hurriedly said yes, and Fang Renzheng heard that the voice was a little familiar, so he hurriedly got up and walked out. looked at it, and suddenly recognized it: "Xia Zhongming." ”

The person who came was Fang Renzheng's junior high school classmate Xia Zhongming. Xia Zhongming went to high school in 1993 and was admitted to Linjiang University in 1996. Linjiang University is a first-class university in Linjiang Province, and it can be said that he did well in the college entrance examination.

Since Xia Zhongming was admitted to university, Fang Renzheng has not contacted him, and he can't imagine that he will come to find him now.
