When he was about to go to bed at night, Li He yawned and became sleepy, but there was one more Duan Mei, Li Mei and Wang Yulan had not arranged how to sleep, so they had to squat on the threshold and smoke.

According to the rules of the countryside, it is nothing for Li Long and Duan Mei to drill a quilt after finishing themselves, and they are just short of a procedure for holding a banquet.

Li He, as the eldest uncle, can't open his mouth to mention this stubble, but Wang Yulan and her mother are also embarrassed by staring at each other, Wang Yulan, as a person who has come over, can see that Li Long and Duan Mei are washing their feet in a basin in the small kitchen, rubbing the soles of their feet and instep, seeing that the two of them bowed their heads and did not speak, their faces were as red as monkey butts, and the evil fire had already escaped the sky.

In the end, Wang Yulan was no longer hypocritical, and said directly to the two, "Third child, you two sleep in your eldest sister's house at night, hurry up and wash and sleep"

looked at Duan Mei who bowed her head and didn't speak, so she acquiesced, turned around and went to the courtyard and said, "Big girl, you still take the fourth child and sleep in the old house of Longzi." Second, you should sleep in your own room."

Li He finally got the holy decree, yawned again, and looked at the time It was more than eleven o'clock, can he not be sleepy, and went back to the house to sleep.

Crackling in the middle of the night, still endless, some people pay attention to the old rules of vigil or welcome the new year, will start to set off firecrackers at night, said that it is thirty nights, all the gods and goddesses go down to enjoy the fireworks in the world, only the God of Wealth is happy God and God of blessing is after twelve o'clock, and the rest of the hours will have any gods, and they will be released before the hour, I am afraid that they will receive a bad god to go home.

At four o'clock in the morning, Li He was sleeping soundly in a daze, and suddenly felt cold on his body, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the little girl had lifted her quilt.

Li He said angrily, "You haven't washed your face, find the fourth sister to wash your face, don't show your face like this"

The little girl shook her head and said, "Ah Guo, the big lazy cat is getting up."

Li He had no choice but to get up, this year is the first day of the new year, and he also has to get up early.

In the kitchen, Wang Yulan and her daughter-in-law have been busy, the first day of the new year is as important as the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how difficult the family is, they will do their best to clean up such a decent meal.

It's a bit of a connection, the degree of hard dishes on this table represents whether last year was rich or not, and it also indicates that next year will be higher than last year.

In the kitchen, popular dishes such as radish, cabbage, and vermicelli are always the protagonists, and "out-of-season vegetables" such as tomatoes and cucumbers were unheard of at that time. The so-called hard dishes, like Chinese New Year's Eve, are also the most common types of pork, beef, and fish.

The table has been set, braised large carp, mixed cold skin, boiled peanuts, pork belly fried sauerkraut, braised pork.

Li He couldn't get his hands on, washed his face, and squatted by the ditch in front of the door in a daze, in his previous life, he always treated the "nostalgia" that had spread in his heart with a complicated mood.

In fact, it is more of a fear and avoidance of reality, if he just misses the simplicity and warmth of the countryside, such nostalgia is nothing to him, and it is almost too easy to return home along this road.

But the memories of poverty and cold never faded into his life.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family has to open their doors and wait for the children of every family in the village to come to pay their respects.

Li He didn't drink either, so he had a meal, and after eating a good meal, he directly took a few small ones to bid farewell to his grandmother.

As the old saying goes, the old son, the eldest grandson, the old lady, the root of life, this is not wrong to put the old Li family, the eldest grandson is the first child of the grandchildren, representing the bloodline of another generation, and the general old people attach great importance to the things passed down by blood, so of course they attach great importance to the eldest grandson. Li He is the eldest boy in the grandchildren's family, the old lady loves it very much, since Li He went to college, the old lady has become more and more beautiful when she goes out, needless to say, proud.

Li He gave the old lady 200 yuan, "Milk, I can't be filial to you at home, this is for you, you can buy it at home and eat it yourself"

The old lady hurriedly pushed it out, "What are you talking about, where do you don't spend money outside, I stay at home with your father, and it can't cost money, so I can use it myself."

The two of them pushed back and forth, and Li Fucheng smiled and said, "Old woman, take it, the eldest grandson is out, if you have the heart to give, you can take it brightly"

The old lady angrily scolded Li Fucheng and said, "You dead man, what's the matter with our eldest grandson's money?"

Li He had no choice but to forcibly stuff the old lady's arms, beckoned the fourth and fifth children who were playing in the yard, and went out with his feet raised. The old lady was helpless and couldn't open her mouth to shout, so she had to put it away......

When Li He arrived home, he went to his grandfather's side, and finished his relatives in a hurry, so that Li He could go to the strange old man's house in the Netherlands tomorrow.

Because Duan Mei is here, Li Long can't go to Grandma Hewan, and Li Mei also has to come from Zhang Luo's family, so he can't go. Li He looked at the fourth child who was pouting and sulking, and said, "I'll go to Hewan, will you go?" "Don't go" The fourth child was full of unhappiness because he was charged New Year's money by Wang Yulan.

The fourth child originally had a good dream for a night with sweet saliva pretending to be New Year's money, but unfortunately, the red envelope was only one night, and it had to fall into Wang Yulan's pocket. Wang Yulan said heartily one morning, the reason is nothing more than to help you save for dowry or study in the future, the fourth child had no choice but to give in, and obediently sent the New Year's money, just like watching the rumbling train derail, and no longer able to save it with the mantis arm.

Li He took two packs of candy and two cigarettes, went out with the bag, glanced at the little girl who was playing with firecracker paper at the door, and immediately gave up the idea of bringing it together, feeling that he still couldn't wait.

Li He didn't have any opinion on the two uncles, he couldn't talk about grievances or grievances, so he symbolically went to the uncle's house and sat in a circle, chatted a few words, and then sat impatiently.

Li He didn't have a good impression of this uncle and aunt in his previous life, and the two of them were mean and cold, even Wang Yulan knew that they shouldn't come to the boss to borrow money.

The second uncle is a sincere person, Li He doesn't like it, it's more pity, the old farmer who has been eating in the soil all his life, and his three sons are going to marry a daughter-in-law, and they have been bent over by the burden.

Li He entered the door and saw the second uncle's family squatting on the threshold on the cold field, I don't know if there is something difficult to worry about.

Second aunt, said, "Erhe is here, don't drink water, pour you some water"

"Aunt, don't be polite, I just drank it from my uncle, don't be polite" Li He waved his hand, and then looked at the cousin next to him who was bored and said, "What's wrong with Brother Xizi, I don't look happy"

The second aunt was embarrassed to say, "Didn't you book a doorman a year ago, and in the morning Xizi went to give a gift, and people confiscated it"

Li He didn't know about this, he lacked heart and lungs in his previous life, and he couldn't sort out his own family affairs, so he still had the mood to take care of other people's families.

Xizi is the second in the family, both 20 years old, and finally found a suitable person, the gift was returned, and the family didn't care about face at all.

Generally, in rural areas, if you want to withdraw from your relatives, at least let the matchmaker greet you in advance, and if you don't have such a courtesy, you will come to slap your face nakedly.
