There is a custom in the southern region, collectively known as "resignation", which is to resign every New Year's holiday, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the New Year.

It probably means that the daughter who marries, or the son who does not live together, or even the younger generation, must prepare gifts and go to the direct elders to say goodbye to the direct family elders every holiday.

Don't get me wrong, this is different from the New Year's greetings, the New Year's greetings have to be worshipped, that is the year after the year, and the resignation of the year happened before the year.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the new year, on Li Yadong's side, it is the best day to leave the year.

The winter sun is the gift of God, especially in this era of lack of clothes and cloth, just after eating in the morning, the door of the sun-lit people is full of people, but unfortunately this era of bridge is still exclusive to the upper class, otherwise you can take the opportunity to get two tables, anyway, the cold winter of the moon is nothing to do.

Lao Li's house has such an advantage, and when the family is building a new house, there is always no shortage of topics, and the small flat outside the door is crowded.

Li Yadong's Ashima was completely finished, originally thought that it could last until the Chinese New Year's Eve, but neglected the masters who built houses for the family, at least one circle per meal, and the two cigarette boxes were soon empty, so when I went to the township, I bought a few swimming brand cigarettes and brought them back, the kind without filters, which was more than a grade worse than Ashima.

But the rough men in the countryside don't care, for them, smoking is already a beautiful thing, there are too many people, and the two packs of cigarettes are taken out and distributed.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and I don't know who suddenly roared, "Look, Chunlan is back." ”

Then everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance of the village, Li Yadong tiptoed to look, but no, the second sister Li Chunlan, the second brother-in-law Zhao Dacheng, and the hairy boy Zhao Zhiqiang, the three of them carried large bags and small bags in their hands, and walked towards the village together.

"Chunlan didn't come back a few days ago, I guess I haven't gotten the news yet, you said that if she knew that the family was building a building, wouldn't she be happy?" Uncle Datian asked with a swimming cigarette in his mouth and a smile.

"That's not it, eighty percent still have to jump!"

I said...... Later, everyone will not squeak until she asks. ”

"Haha...... To get, to get ......"

These people are also bad.

Li Yadong rolled his eyes, all of them were masters who couldn't be idle, and they really wanted to put down their hoes and have some fun in their ways.

Li Chunlan and the others quickly entered the village, and from a long distance, they saw houses under construction on the high ground in the back mountain.

"Eh, Lao Zhao, who built the house on the mountain...... Oh, it looks like it's still a building, with so many bricks, it's going to be a few floors!"

Zhao Dacheng shrugged his shoulders, "You don't know how I know, this is your mother's family." ”

Li Chunlan didn't reply, knowing that it was in vain to ask him, so she said to herself: "Eighty percent of them are Accountant Zhang's family, and there is money in the village to build such a big new building, but I'm afraid only their family is their family." ”

"yes. Zhao Dacheng nodded and agreed: "I heard that the Zhao family's youngest son's shop has opened in the county, and making money is like picking up money, and he is very capable!"

"Hmph, what's ...... about that" Li Chunlan's temperament has always been straightforward, and she is also very protective of calves, and she can't see others saying that other children in the village are good, "Chunxi's child's craftsmanship is not taught by my Xiaodong." ”

"Then why don't you teach me what you say?"

Zhao Dacheng actually asked casually, but Li Chunlan was speechless for a long time after hearing it, and her good mood when she returned to her parents' house was suddenly affected, because she couldn't figure it out, how could there be a good thing to make a fortune for others to do, and leave her own sister to live looking at the rice jar?

The three of them came to the door of Lao Li's house, and Li Yadong greeted him as soon as possible.

"Sister, brother-in-law. ”

I haven't forgotten what happened just now, although Li Chunlan is a little uncomfortable in her heart, she is really happy to see her younger brother who she hasn't seen for half a year.

"It seems that the food in the university is good, and they have grown a lot. ”

Zhao Dacheng also echoed on the side, and said that his brother-in-law was becoming more and more like a city person.

"Zhiqiang, you kid, how did you tell you at home, you have to call someone when you see someone!"

Zhao Zhiqiang is not afraid of life, as soon as he came over, he was attracted by a few hopscotch children next to him, turned his back to see it with relish, and his mother shouted for a long time without any reaction.

Li Yadong smiled and squinted, looked at the stinky boy and said, "Don't call it, it's okay, there will be no more gifts." ”

"Uncle!"

The voice was loud and sharp, without even the slightest hesitation.

I don't know who to learn from, Li Yadong was speechless for a while, and felt more and more that he would have to train and train well in the future.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you sit down first, my mother and my fourth sister have gone to the vegetable garden, and the things are ready for me. ”

Li Yadong took the New Year's things from the hands of the two, a bag of glutinous rice, two bags of brown sugar, and a piece of pork, about half a catty, two silver carp, one can have two and a half catties. It's a relatively thick New Year's gift, and the daughters of ordinary people are generally not so atmospheric, after all, their own families are not rich.

This probably has something to do with the fact that the old Zhao family is now headed by his second sister.

Originally, he would not have been promoted to status so quickly, just as the so-called one person was promoted to heaven, Li Yadong was admitted to the university, and he was a proper national cadre, so his second sister's status in the old Zhao family naturally rose.

When Li Yadong entered the door with something, there was a follower hanging tightly behind him.

Uncle called, can things not be cashed?

"You can't do without you. Li Yadong rubbed his green skin head melon angrily, and took out the electronic watch when he entered the room.

Zhao Zhiqiang's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly reached out and grabbed it and was about to take it, but he didn't know how to bring it after a lot of effort.

"I'll come. ”

After Li Yadong helped him take it, the kid suddenly shot out like an arrow from a string, and a voice could still be heard from afar, "Mom, Mom, brother-in-law bought me a watch." ”

After telling his mother that it was fake, he ran over to show his mother a look, and then ran to a group of hopscotch children, even walking with his hands in his hand, showing off for a while.

Sure enough, a few children in the village did not jump into the house, and all gathered around to see the freshness.

"It's okay to see, but it's not allowed to touch it. "Zhao Zhiqiang is arrogant, whoever dares to touch his beloved watch will be able to fight directly.

Li Chunlan was chatting with the villagers outside, she usually had to go back to her parents' house once a month at the shortest, and there was always a topic, after a bunch of nonsense, she suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "How many floors does Lao Zhang's house have to build in this building, I see that there are several piles of red bricks, at least there must be two floors, right?"

The villagers laughed and said nothing, Uncle Datian was the worst, and he smiled, "What two floors, three floors, one floor and three rooms." ”

"So magnificent?" Li Chunlan was dumbfounded, thinking about how much it would cost to build such a building, usually when she dreamed, she thought about when she would be able to raise enough money to build a small red brick bungalow.

"Isn't that magnificent!" the villagers laughed even more.

There are always people whose acting skills are not good, Li Chunlan quickly saw the clue, pointed to a woman of the same age and asked, "Big fat, why are you smiling so happily, still holding your stomach and laughing?"

"I didn't ...... No, I have a stomachache, a stomachache. "The fat woman almost didn't laugh.

Li Chunlan was puzzled, and at this time, Zhao Dacheng looked at the construction site on the back mountain on tiptoe, pointed to a figure in a green coat and asked, "Eh, Chunlan, isn't that the runner-up?"

"Huh?" Li Chunlan got up from the stool let out by the villagers and looked at it, it was not her third brother Li Yajun.

"What is he doing there?"

"Help. Zhao Dacheng replied casually.

"No, the runner-up's house is eight feet away from Accountant Zhang's house, and he is not a mason, so it is not his turn to help. ”

Li Chunlan was not stupid after all, combined with the laughter of the villagers present, her eyes widened and widened, and she muttered, "Could it be the runner-up's family that built a house?"

Uncle Datian, who was close, smiled, and was finally guessed by this girl, and said: "Wrong, it's not the runner-up's family that built the house, it's your family that built it." ”

"My family?" Li Chunlan was instantly dumbfounded, "Where did her get so much money from her to ask for a local housewife?"
