Li Yamin stayed in his hometown for one night, but returned to the county early the next morning, and when the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were a lot of things in the cotton company, and the hardest and most tiring thing was always a small leader like him.

Li Yadong's plan was also vaguely mentioned to him last night, but the result was obvious, he was not interested, and finally did not object, after all, the national policy is to support farmers to engage in breeding, only said, "If Chunlan and the runner-up want to do it, do it." ”

From this point, it is not difficult to see that his eldest brother's thinking has actually changed a lot imperceptibly.

Li Yadong knows that his eldest brother has a deep affection for the cotton company, after all, the family is in it, and it is extremely difficult to convince him, so he can only take one step at a time, first set up the framework of the family business, and see if he can figure it out in the future.

The second sister Li Chunlan and the second brother-in-law Zhao Dacheng have already expressed their attitude, willing to endure hardships first to raise the ducks, the third brother Li Yajun is actually not much resistance, if the old Li family is the most hard-working, it must be him, plus the third sister-in-law is instigated on the side, and even the eldest brother said that it is a good thing to engage in breeding, so he nodded along the way.

Li Yamin left, but Chen Yue'e and Li Tingting stayed, and the two of them had nothing to do when they went back anyway, so they simply didn't bother to run back and forth, otherwise they would have to come back in a few days.

After eating in the morning, after sitting for a while, Li Chunlan's family of three is also leaving, there are still two old people in the old Zhao family, and the daughter who marries out must always be based on her husband's family, and there is probably no time to come back before the year.

"Xiaodong, that sister is leaving, what you said ......" Before leaving, Li Chunlan did not forget to remind her that although she had no culture, she had figured it out now and knew that this was an opportunity.

If nothing else, just for the little rabbit cub in the family, who will be two years old soon, and it doesn't cost money to study and marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

"Sister, this is not in a hurry, I will go out early, at least until about fifteen, and I will talk about it after the year. ”

Li Yadong replied with a smile, and then handed over a woven bag.

"What's this?" Li Chunlan didn't know why, and she was not polite to her younger brother, so she took it and opened it directly, and then exclaimed, "New clothes!"

It's not just new clothes, she took them out one by one and looked at them, shiny cowhide shoes, as well as a lot of face oil that she had never seen before, and even a watch.

"Oh, stinky boy, my sister didn't hurt you a lot, but ...... Why are you buying a watch, the dial is still so big, your sister can't wear it. ”

At this time, Zhao Dacheng on the side wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the bright and praised watch with envy, worried that his mother-in-law would return it.

"Sister, I didn't buy it for you, it was for my brother-in-law. ”

"Huh?" Li Chunlan was stunned at first, then laughed, pointed to the man on the side and said, "You buy him a watch? ”

Zhao Dacheng looked depressed, and interjected weakly, "It's a big deal that I don't bring it when I go to the ground." ”

Although it is true that he is a peasant, there are always times when he catches up with the scene, and he wears a watch on his hand to save face.

"Xiaodong, you take this thing back, your brother-in-law can't use it, I see that your hands are still bare. Li Chunlan said, if she really wants to return it, Zhao Dacheng looked stupid.

"Sister, I have a watch, but I don't wear it, this is for my brother-in-law, one piece for each man in the family, otherwise you should say that I don't have you in my heart." ”

"Okay, okay, it's not right, sister, I'll accept it if you say so. ”

The second sister's family left happily, and when Li Yadong came back from the village, he caught a glimpse of a slim girl sulking at the door.

"Tingting, what's wrong, who made you angry?"

"You!" Li Tingting pouted and said, "You made me angry, little uncle is biased." ”

Li Yadong didn't know the reason when he heard it, didn't he see that the eldest brother's family was still there, so he didn't take out the gift, and walked over angrily and poked her little head, "What do you think, can the little uncle forget you?"

Li Tingting instantly changed into a smiling face, hung his arm and sprinkled Jiao, blinked her big eyes and asked, "That'...... Little uncle, what did you bring me?"

"Of course it's a good thing. ”

Half a minute later, two screams came from Lao Li's house.

"Wow! such a small tape recorder!"

"What a beautiful pen!"

This girl was so happy, Li Yadong stuffed a tape in it when he tried it out, the kind of hodgepodge, and forgot to take it out, so she was reluctant to put it down while holding the tape recorder, and kept listening, after listening to it once or twice, a few songs with distinct rhythms would actually be sung, and Li Yadong was shocked.

"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly......"

The voice is very crisp, a little less sweetness of Teresa Teng, a little more innocence, but it is not abrupt, sure enough, this girl has a certain acting talent.

"This kid ......" Chen Yue'e looked at her shaking her head and singing, feeling angry and funny, "Okay, can you take this tape back, your little uncle bought a tape recorder for you to learn foreign languages, not to listen to songs." ”

"I know, I know......" This girl agreed quite simply, but it's really hard to say whether she can count or not.

After a few days of construction of the house on the back mountain, it has begun to take shape, the first floor is basically formed, and the stone slab is almost paved.

However, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, work had to be stopped, because the New Year came, and the masters had to go home for the New Year.

Most of the customs in the countryside are different from those in the city, such as Li Yadong and their side, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is naturally there, but it is called "fortune rice", and the process of eating fortune rice is called "fortune".

Some people who don't know each other very well will ask after meeting, "Eh, Yadong, when will your family get rich?"

It is not just a meal, it is a ritual.

And getting rich is not on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it depends on the customs of each family, generally there are two kinds, one is the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the other is the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

It's not accurate to say that it is in the morning, to be exact, in the early hours of the morning.

Between 2 and 5 a.m., I got up to eat, and I had to take charge of it earlier.

This custom is passed down from ancestors, and it is not easy to change as long as you live in the village, but to be honest, it is quite grinding. Besides, I didn't wake up in the morning, and I didn't have much appetite when I got up to face a table of food.

Li Yadong's family made a fortune in the early morning of the 30th, but since the 28th, they have not slept well, because no matter how poor the family is, as long as they get rich on this day, they are designated to set off a string of firecrackers, and the outside of the house will start to sound from two o'clock in the morning until dawn.

"Hanging guns" is better to say, it will be over in a few clicks, I am most afraid of the "ten thousand years" like Fang Huozi's family, a boss's cake, several pounds of weight, a cake can be put for a long time.

When I went out in the morning, I found that the village had changed, the main atmosphere was different, and I had to say a few words of congratulations when I met people, and the people who had made a fortune had to enter the door casually, because they had to put firecrackers when they entered, and they were really people with insufficient firecracker reserves, at least they had to pour a glass of sugar water, which was embarrassing.

There is also a term called "out of the party", which means that after the family has made a fortune, the first house you go to next will be called to their house.

Generally speaking, most people will choose those who have good luck in the year, according to the rural parlance, they can touch the joy of their family.

Li Yadong was thinking at this time, on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, the threshold of their family is estimated to have to be broken.
