Chapter 223: Into 1976
Grandma came over to dress Youyou, looking at the sportswear she brought over, Youyou said that she didn't wear anything, so she wore cotton pants made of broken cloth made by her aunt, and jumped off the kang happily.
Grandma followed behind and muttered, "As far as you are alone, everything you do is different from others." ”
The red lanterns hung high reflected the red light all over the courtyard. Mom and Dad make dumplings in the kitchen, and the dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year are eaten separately by Yoyo's family and my uncle's and grandfather's house. The dumplings were wrapped in a piece at Yoyo's house, and they took them with them when they went back last night, and everyone ate them together at noon.
Mom shouted in the kitchen: "It's time for dumplings, Haohao set off firecrackers." ”
Grandma covered Yoyo's ears, grandpa covered Didi, Haohao lit the lead, and ran to grandma and covered his ears. With the sound of "crackling", the colorful shredded paper fell half of the yard.
Mom and Dad made dumplings, scooped up the bowl and brought it to the hall, and began to pay New Year's greetings. The red envelope given by my grandmother was ten yuan per person, and the one given by my parents was one piece, and inside was ten brand-new banknotes of one cent.
Hao Hao took out two one-dollar ones and held them generously: "Yoyo, Didi, you two should give me New Year's greetings." Yoyo remembered his painful expression when he paid for it last year, and snorted with joy.
Didi took the New Year's money given by Haohao and Youyou, took out another one from his red envelope, and said solemnly: "I have to send red envelopes to Zhiru, Zhiqiang and Zhibin in a while." "Dare to love, this year this product has the consciousness of being a brother.
The morning dumplings are filled with leek eggs and topped with chopped shrimp. On the first day of the new year, I ate vegetarian dumplings and looked forward to a year of vegetarian life.
Didi ate one and immediately shouted: "Egg dumplings are better than meat, I still have to eat a bowl." "This little thing's mouth is really tricky.
Hao Hao didn't care about eating, he listened to his shout, and looked at him with a look in his eyes. "I haven't woken up yet, the vegetarian dumplings are just eggs added, and they are not as delicious as meat. ”
After speaking, he took a bite of the dumpling with a look of disbelief on his face, and pouted in his mouth without taking care of it: "It's delicious, it's indeed better than meat." ”
Didi saw that he was eating fast, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, don't eat so fast, leave me a bowl." ”
Hao Hao glanced at him, poured the remaining dumplings into his bowl, and turned around and went to the kitchen. Didi was happy and shouted at his back, "Brother, you're the best." ”
turned his head to see Youyou, and then shouted: "Sister, you are the best." The family almost burst into laughter when they saw him flattering each other.
This year, the Yoyo family got up early, ate dumplings, and grandpa led the family to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. My uncle's family was all there, and everyone greeted each other for the New Year, and there were several more red envelopes in your hands.
The courtyard of my uncle's grandfather's house was also hung with red lanterns, and I looked at the family members in the yard. Last year, everyone was in a military uniform. This year, the men's tunic is a woolen tunic, and the women's is a brocade jacket in a Tang costume and pure wool pants. Sportswear for children.
It is said that people are clothes, horses are saddles, and the combination of tunics and Tang suits has another charm compared with military uniforms. The children are wearing sportswear, which is more festive, as if it is a sports meeting.
Wearing a floral cotton coat and a pair of embroidered cotton shoes on her feet, the whole village is still so beautiful that her nose is bubbling.
Uncle and grandmother pulled Yoyo and praised fiercely: "Yoyo looks good in everything, I found for the first time that the cotton pants made by myself are better than the clothes I bought." ”
The four old men stayed at home to talk, and the uncle led everyone to the village to pay New Year's greetings. At this time, it was just dawn, and you followed it around, and couldn't help but hold your forehead.
Day, the whole village is almost uniformly dressed, only the elderly and children under the age of six are a little distinctive.
Men are all dressed in cadre uniforms, gray for the older and blue for the younger. Women wear trench coats and fleece trousers, and children over the age of seven or eight wear sportswear, but fortunately there is no such thing as a shirt now.
Everyone saw the enthusiasm of Yoyo's father and scrambled to say hello: "Doctor Wu, Happy New Year." ”
It seems that people with ability are popular all the time, and Dad's piece of jade was excavated by the people of Hantun Village.
The aunt and mother's Tang jackets caused a sensation among the women, and everyone gathered around them, studying the practice of padded jackets, and it was very difficult to make one immediately and wear it on their bodies.
When the army returned to Yoyo's house, the four old men had already arrived at home, sitting in the hall and receiving the villagers who had come to pay their respects.
Outside the sales point of Yoyo's house, a group of children surrounded them, shouting indiscriminately: "It's time to open the door." ”
When Grandma saw that everyone was coming, she asked her patriotic uncle to light a firecracker and open the door of the consignment point. The children rushed in, picking out their favorites. This year, the children in the village have a lot of money for New Year's greetings, and most of them have received one dollar.
Boys like toys, girls mainly buy headbands and hairpins, and rarely buy snacks. A few years ago, almost everyone weighed a pound of candy to satisfy their children's cravings.
The courtyard of Youyou's house was full of people, and everyone was talking around Uncle and Uncle Yuanchao, so they had to move all the stools in the house and let everyone sit in the yard, but the house really couldn't sit down.
Last year, everyone was stained with the light of breeding, and this year they are ready to continue to do it. The alfalfa harvested by each family was not used up, and it was enough to eat until the new alfalfa grew. Therefore, everyone is ready to start feeding the pigs in the first month.
Especially when I saw the pigs fed by Zhang Liugen, they grew to 200 catties in half a year, and everyone was more motivated. In this way, the little pig seedlings are nervous. "Big One" has already released a word, her pig seedlings will not be sold this year, and they will be kept for themselves to feed.
Last year, the piglets in the team were contacted by the uncle who aided the DPRK, and this year everyone wanted him to help buy them. The uncle of the Yuan Dynasty simply took a notebook, wrote down the amount that each family wanted, and went to a large pig farm to buy it with the team.
The team left 18 sows last year, and they were already mated a year ago, and they will be able to give birth in April. But everyone can't wait for that time, and they still have to buy pig seedlings.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people from Shimiao Village came in waves after waves, and it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone also came to buy clothes and prepare to go to relatives to wear. The point is, their village has made money by feeding pigs.
There are also people from Zhoulou Village, and there are very few people who buy clothes. The third aunt asked puzzledly: "Aunt, why do I feel that now the people in the village are more willing to spend money than the staff." ”
My aunt told her: "The current staff may not be more expensive than the people in our village, and anyone who has money will spend it." ”
At noon, there were still two tables of dishes, but the place was changed, one table in the hall, and the men ate there. A table in the dining room was a table for women and children.
Until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the two families ate together, even breakfast. There are two tables at the table, and there are big fish and meat every day, all of which are white-flour steamed buns. My uncle and grandmother said every time they ate: "I can't even dream that I can live like this." "I want to talk about "E-commerce through the 70s" with more like-minded people, and WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life and finding confidants~
