As the end of the year approached, the women with the seven surnames Long also began to get busy! From the 20th day of the lunar calendar, Fan Xiuhua began to make oil noodles for three whole days; fortunately, after the engineering team was on vacation, there were fewer people in the family, and there were only a dozen people eating at each meal, and with the help of Zhao Ting, Fan Ying, and Yang Li, they were also very busy.

On the 24th day of the lunar calendar, the house began to clean up, and sent the stove god back to heaven, which is the custom of the seven surnames Long; from the 25th year, the family began to make New Year's cakes again, similar to the rice cakes in some places, but the New Year's cakes and rice cakes have essential differences, and some use the rice cakes to print a variety of patterns, and this is another day!

Twenty-six began to kill the New Year's pig; seven surnamed Long generally every household will raise two pigs, one sells money to subsidize the family, and the other one is kept to make New Year's pigs, in addition to the meat eaten during the New Year, the excess is smoked up to make bacon, because the family is not bad now, plus there are many people in the family, so the head of the family Zhao Xianting decided to kill the two pigs to make the New Year's pig, and make more bacon!

"Brother Xiaokun, my mother urged me to go home for the New Year!" After dinner that day, Yang Li shrugged her nose and said.

"Lili, tell your mother, just celebrate the New Year at our house, you won't go, it's not safe to go back and forth on this cold day!" Fan Xiuhua hurriedly took Yang Li's little hand and said.

"No, Auntie, my mother told me that I have to go back tomorrow, and my brother will go back too!" Yang Li finished speaking, tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Auntie, let's go back for the New Year first, and we'll be back as soon as the New Year is over, and it's not even a few days, and the company is also preparing for a holiday!" Lu Gui hurriedly said that he and Yang Yangyang were the farthest away, in Jiangsu Province next door, and Yang Long and Tan Jingjing were both provincial capitals, so they were relatively closer.

"Okay, you all come back early after the New Year!" The New Year is a big festival in China, and every family needs to be reunited, and Fan Xiuhua is not easy to stay.

"Come, this is your year-end bonus, everyone has been busy for half a year, take a good rest during the New Year, and start to be busy again after the New Year; and cousin, tomorrow you will go to the old house to give those people the salary and year-end bonus"! After Zhao Kun finished speaking, he took out a stack of red envelopes and distributed them to everyone!

"Oh yes, long live Mr. Zhao!" Bai Lan and Gao Yingying took the red envelope and kissed it, and said happily.

After breakfast the next day, Lu Gui, Yang Yangyang, Yang Long and Yang Li, as well as Tan Jingjing and others from the company, left with the three uncles, Zhao Kun sent them to the dam, lingered with Yang Li for a while, and watched their car slowly walk away before turning around and walking back.

When I got home, there were so many people who used to be lively and lively, but now that everyone is gone, I am still a little unaccustomed to the quiet at home, and I always feel empty in my heart! However, the seven surnamed Long have a large population, and in addition to the heavy snowfall, the time for young men from every household to gather together to play table tennis and chess has passed quickly.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar, Zhao Kun went to the town to buy a large number of pigs, on the one hand, his family wanted to buy some New Year's goods, and there were more than 100,000 people in the old house (later two groups of people came); Zhao Kun went directly to a small pig farm to buy hundreds of pigs, including chickens, ducks and geese, etc., and purchased a large number of them, and after paying the money, the boss directly called a car to send them to the old house, and went back with the family's New Year's goods.

"Hey, Brother Xiaokun, what are you doing?" Since Yang Li went home, Zhao Kun and Yang Li have contributed to the mobile company a lot, and the phone porridge is boiled for an hour or two, and they don't let go until the phone runs out of battery.

"It's Lili, I'm buying New Year's goods!" I'm climbing the dam, the wind is too strong, I won't tell you yet, I'll call you when I get home!

"Okay, Brother Xiao Kun, be careful!"

Zhao Kun went to the old house first to see if everyone was still missing, and it happened that those pigs, chickens, ducks and other New Year's goods were also just delivered.

"These are the New Year's goods prepared for you, you can eat them boldly, and tell me if you don't have enough or lack something!" Zhao Kun said with a smile when he found Zheng Haiqing.

"Chief, you have bought so much, and we have prepared some New Year's goods and so many pigs for the food you have given us, I think you have directly moved other people's pig farms, right?" Zheng Haiqing asked in surprise.

"It's a small pig farm, okay, you're lucky, I'll go back first!" Zhao Kun smiled and walked to the water's edge.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and early in the morning, Zhao Kun was pulled up from the bed by Zhao Xianting, because he wanted to worship his ancestors today; because the ancestral hall in the village had also been demolished, they had no choice but to worship their ancestors in a temporary ancestral hall! Zhao Kun felt more and more that the New Year was boring, and that the rural people had worked hard for a year was nothing more than to eat and drink heavily during the New Year and worship their own temples of the five organs! There was no longer the feeling of anticipation that he had when he was a child looking forward to wearing new clothes and eating meat for the New Year.

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone gathered in front of the TV and waited for the start of the New Year's party, Zhao Kun preferred to watch sketches, which can be regarded as a kind of anticipation for the New Year!

After twelve o'clock, the old people in the family had already gone back to the room to rest, while Zhao Kun was watching the news while sending messages to some leaders and brothers to greet the New Year, and finally talked to Yang Li on the phone until four o'clock in the morning before falling asleep in a daze!
