Chapter 35: Chinese New Year

Previous Chapter

took the bus, stopped and stopped all the way, swaying and leisurely, making Dong Dachun want to sleep, especially the air inside was still dull.

There are many people, the windows are not easy to open, and the wind is squeezing, as long as Dong Dachun dares to open it, someone will dare to reason with him.

"Dad, I'm back, wow, I bought so many dishes. When Dong Dachun arrived home, there were already nearly ten plates of dishes on the table, and there were several more in the pot and on the board.

Dong's father, who was cooking vegetables, smiled and said: "It's almost, these dishes come and go every year, but this year is really expensive, those chickens, ducks and pork are ridiculously high, and there are seafood." ”

For supply and demand reasons, it is certain that the price will rise during the New Year, Dong Dachun didn't ask much, but said, "What about my mother?"

"Your mother went to your third uncle's house next door, and they will come to our house for dinner in a while, and then go to their house in the evening. Father Dong said.

"Oh. Dong Dachun stole a piece of lamb chops and was about to take a rest first, but Dong's father stopped him: "Xiaochun, you go buy some drinks and come back, buy coconut water, your little nephew likes to drink it." ”

"Hmm. Dong Dachun didn't refuse, but just as he was about to go downstairs, Dong's father said again: "By the way, you take these two dishes to your grandparents, and then ask them if they want to come over and eat together." ”

What will be done every New Year, mainly after the separation, grandparents will not go to their son for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because if they go to one, the others will not be refused. So gradually, if the son wants to show filial piety, he will buy a few dishes and send them, and then wrap a red envelope.

When Dong Dachun passed, his grandparents were chatting with his neighbors in the sun, at this time the second elder was still in good health, and when he saw his grandson, the wrinkles on his face were more obvious, and he smiled: "Xiao Chun is here, when did you come back?"

"Just came back, grandparents, this is your dish, the meal at home has been cooked, go to my house to eat in a while. ”

Grandpa Cai accepted it, but with this invitation, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, your grandmother and I have already eaten, and it was not interesting to watch it in the past." ”

"Okay, then you take this grandfather, it's your grandson who honors you. ”

Dong Dachun stuffed the prepared cash into his grandfather's hand, but his grandfather originally refused: "What are you doing with the money, you only graduated now, keep it for yourself." ”

"Grandpa, you also know that your grandson has opened a barber shop now, and the business is very good, and he has made a lot of money this year, so you can accept it with peace of mind. Dong Dachun persuaded reasonably.

"This ......" Grandpa doesn't really care about the amount of money, what he cares about is his grandson's filial piety, Dong Dachun said so, he refused again for fear of hurting his grandson's heart, so he nodded: "Okay, then grandpa will accept it, you can also work hard and strive to make more money." ”

"Don't worry, my grandson will do his best. ”

Men and women have different concerns, and when it was grandma's turn to speak, the first thing she asked was: "Xiaochun, have you graduated, have you talked about your girlfriend?" to find one early, grandma, I haven't had good goods for a few years, I want to see you get married, and then look at the little grandson." ”

"Grandma, you will definitely live a long life, and your grandson has just graduated, but if your career improves, I will find one for you, and I will definitely not let you wait for a long time, grandma. ”

His parents said that Dong Dachun could perfunctory about finding a daughter-in-law, but his grandmother asked that he definitely couldn't let him down, and if he could, he would find one as soon as possible to make the old man happy.

"Okay, girls don't need to be too beautiful, they know how to run a house, and they need to be filial. ”

"Got it, grandma, when the time comes, the grandson will bring it back for you to check. ”

"The grandmother waited. ”

Holding Dong Dachun's hand, grandma smiled happily.

In the end, the grandparents still did not have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Dong Dachun and them, perhaps only when the aunt and they came to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, the family could get together.

For this result, Dong's father and Dong's mother also know, as long as the mind arrives.

Soon the meal was prepared by Zhang Lou, and Dong Dachun was sent to call him the third uncle's family, and his son must let him serve it, so his parents can't work hard.

Even if they are willing, Dong Dachun is reluctant.

"Dashan, let's go, go to my house for dinner, it's all done, what about the third uncle and the third aunt?"

Dong Dashan, Dong Dachun's third brother, everyone is a big character, so the name sometimes sounds ordinary.

But to say that a person is ordinary and extraordinary is not based on his name, but on what he does and achievements, that is, your name is Li Goudan, and one day you become the richest man in the world, then Goudan will become extraordinary because of it.

Dong Dashan saw Dong Dachun and smiled: "My parents are in their own room, when did you come back?"

"Not long after I came back, I got up, my food over there is cooked, what about Xiaoyu?" Han Xiaoyu is the name of Dong Dachun's third sister-in-law.

"Take Xiao Wu to buy food, and I'll be back in a while. Dong Dashan didn't rub in, he said before, get up and get dressed.

And Dong Dachun also called the three uncles and three aunts who were watching TV in the house.

There are a lot of people, especially children. In the past, when Dong Dachun was young, the atmosphere was like this, but the older he grew up, the more he had no New Year's flavor.

Eating and drinking, then chatting, and then naturally talked about his girlfriend, before Dong's mother also asked him to take Ji Yun home, but unfortunately it was just one person who came back.

"Son, what about the people, why didn't you bring it back?" Dong's mother was very unhappy.

Dong Dachun felt bitter in his heart, he wanted to be perfunctory, but it was not a matter to drag it all the time, so he had to say: "Mom, it's okay for us to chat, but the words of the target are not up to it, and people are also busy, so we don't have much time to chat." ”

"Then you have to take the initiative, I look pretty good at that girl. "Mother Dong didn't want to miss it.

You think it's good, but what can I do if I can't talk about it. Dong Dachun said: "Mom, it's not that this thing can be done if it's good, it's a matter of two people, even if I think it's okay, but I don't think it's okay." ”

"Okay, if you can't talk about it, then mom will help you ask. By the way, Xiaodong, do you have any good friends you can introduce to Xiaochun?"

Well, three women in one play, full of firepower, and their father, third uncle, and third brother also support them. Dong Dachun couldn't resist it at all.

I couldn't help but continue to drag: "I'll try my best to find it, there is really no way to talk about this thing, it depends on whether you can talk about it or not, and the barbershop is getting better and better, I need to spend more experience, and I'm going to see the time tomorrow to expand the shop." ”

The quick-witted Dong Dachun is ready to rely on this to distract them.

Sure enough, when it came to expanding the store, Dong's father was attracted to it.

Dong's father said: "Is Xiaochun's business very good now, is there enough funds?"

"Business is getting better and better in the past six months, especially at the end of the year, I can't be busy, now the store has recruited two people, and there are more customers and it seems a little crowded, and I will definitely find a bigger store next year." ”

If the business is good, the money will naturally be made more, and Dong's mother and the third aunt are very curious: "How much did Xiao Chun earn this year?"

The accounts are recorded, Dong Dachun is very clear about his income, he didn't hide it, and his parents were happy to say it during the New Year. said: "Excluding expenses, I have about 200,000 yuan left on hand, and I earned 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in the first half month of the year alone." ”

Don't think this number is exaggerated, a girl makes a hair for a few hundred yuan at least, plus the price increase in his store, a single income of thousands is a lot, of which the profit is three or four hundred, as long as ten people come a day, it is a few thousand a day, and tens of thousands a month is very simple.

Anyway, he is now a senior hairdresser, and the price of his skills is not low.

He is still a small number, if it is those barbershops that are a little larger, in the month before the Chinese New Year, the turnover reached four or five hundred thousand, which is a lot.

"So profitable?" Dong Dashan and Han Xiaoyu were surprised, they also had friends who did this, but they didn't see them making so much money.

"This depends on fame and location, you said that in our town, the consumption level is so high, it is not easy to make more money. But if it is a place with a large flow of people and a good location, coupled with good craftsmanship and fame, it is actually very simple to make money. If you want to say that my business is getting better, it was after I participated in the county competition and won the first prize, and then I slowly opened up my reputation to have the current situation. ”

Everyone knows what Dong Dachun said about winning the competition, and they were proud of their son before.

"Awesome. Dong Dashan gave him a thumbs up, his younger brother has been a role model for their parents to educate him since he was a child, and now he has entered the society, and he is still shining brightly, and he is the best in this development.

After affirmation and encouragement, the topic of conversation seemed to change as he wished. But the truth is that what should come is still coming, and it is more violent.

The business is already secure, how can you not find a girlfriend, Dong's mother said: "Xiaochun, the money is endless, now that your career is improving, if you are busy, it is better to have a girlfriend to take care of you." So next year, be sure to find one. ”

"Mom, this is really in a hurry. "Dong Dachun is really tired.

"How can you not be in a hurry, look at your eldest brother, the second child, look at your second brother and the mountain, the children are all there, look at you again, are you embarrassed to keep your parents waiting?"

"Yes, Xiaochun, my parents are almost fifty years old, while I still have the strength, I can help you take the child, you have to hurry. Father Dong said helpfully, and as far as Dong Dachun could see, everyone else also agreed with Dong's mother's words, and even Xiao Wu said angrily: "Uncle, when will you find me a little aunt." ”

"What kind of mess are you making at such a young age? Dong Dachun looked at his nephew without love, feeling uncomfortable.

"I try, I try, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. ”

Everyone ate this meal very easily and happily, except for Dong Dachun, who had words of suffering in his heart.

Fortunately, I have said this, and I won't talk about it for the time being, and in the evening, the brothers get together, make a small bet to cultivate their feelings, and try this year's luck.

Everyone just had fun, and at most a few dollars or a dozen yuan came and went.

It is impossible to go to bed early on Chinese New Year's Eve, at least after twelve o'clock, when firecrackers are lit, fireworks explode in the sky, and the new year begins.

Dong Dachun's brothers played until more than one o'clock, and when he was lying on the bed, he still didn't feel too sleepy.

Several groups are chatting very hotly, and many of them are also sending red envelopes and grabbing red envelopes. Although the amount is not large, it is also love, and Dong Dachun joined them beautifully.

Then when someone was caught, I could only send a few people to help cheer up.

"Damn, what kind of hand speed do you have, it's shameful to hang up, unless you share it. ”

"I didn't grab it, which of you still wants to send red envelopes, tell us first when you send them. ”

"Just a penny, alas, there is not enough traffic. ”

"Happy, I'm the king of luck. ”

At two o'clock, this group of people still did not lose their combat effectiveness, and they were still very active, but Dong Dachun couldn't stand it, he used to eat, drink and have fun, and his spirit was good, but now, especially lying in the warm quilt, the fatigue of the day came up, and as soon as he lost his mobile phone, he fell asleep.

The first day of junior high school is the day to pray for blessings, although Dong Dachun doesn't want to go, but his parents are embarrassed to call.

I got up at ten o'clock, went to church at about eleven o'clock, stayed outside for a while and ate at twelve o'clock, and after eating, my brother went home, and by the way, there were a few cousins, so the entertainment group was even bigger, and it was more interesting to play.
