Today is February 5, 2011, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky is not yet bright, but the sound of firecrackers has come and gone, many people are sleepless all night, and the New Year's flavor in small cities is more obvious and lively than in big cities.

After going downstairs, Wang Ye took a look at the car first, and there was nothing unusual, and when he opened the trunk, the two black nylon handbags were also lying there without any damage.

Beckoned my mother and sister to get in the car, today Aili stayed at Xinkou's house, it was difficult to explain her identity when she returned to her hometown, and it was estimated that it would take a lot of speech, so I didn't let her go back together.

Starting the vehicle, the bright headlights pierced the night, and after leaving the community compound, he followed the navigation instructions and drove along the empty road to his hometown Wangzhuang.

……

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was just dawning, and Wang Zhuang was already boiling.

At six or seven o'clock, many people got up, and the sound of open doors came and went. According to the custom, on the morning of the first day of the new year, after the whole family gets up and before breakfast, open the door to let go of the door cannon.

The door opener is not a firecracker, but a large firecracker with a child's wrist thickness, three in a row, the louder the better, representing the good start of the new year.

"Big baby, second baby, third baby! Get up quickly, don't lie in bed, you're going to set off a cannon! After dinner, you have to go to pay New Year's greetings, and you get up late, but you don't have a red envelope!" Wang Lao Liu shouted to the three children one by one to get up.

My wife is busy cooking dumplings and noodles, which is the meal to be eaten in the morning. Commonly known as "money skewers", noodles symbolize the rope that strings money, dumplings symbolize the copper coins of the past, the more you eat, the more money you will earn next year!

There is a dumpling with washed coins in it, and if anyone eats it, it is a sign that the person will be lucky and prosperous in the new year. Under normal circumstances, this dumpling can only be eaten by the family who is responsible for earning money.

Wang's family has three children, all of whom are boys! The eldest is only in junior high school, and the second and third are all elementary schools. When the eldest was born, it was a boy, and the whole family was very happy. However, Wang Lao Liu thinks that there are too few children, let's have another girl, so that the dragon and phoenix are auspicious and the children are complete, how good it is. So two years later, the second child was born, but unfortunately it was a boy again!

Now Wang Lao and Liu have been honest for two years, and it is not easy to raise children now, especially boys! When they want to go to high school and college, the tuition fee is not something that ordinary people can afford, and as for getting married in the future, the bride price house or something, it is okay in the hometown, they have their own homestead, and it doesn't take too much money to build a tiled house.

If you go to work in the city, even in the county, a house will cost 1200,000 yuan, let alone a big city! For Wang Laoliu, this is simply an astronomical amount, and he doesn't dare to think about it now.

But I'm still unwilling, I think it's two boys, and I can't do it again and again, why shouldn't the third child have a daughter! Three years later, the third child spoke out, and he was still a man!

This is really no problem, three boys, how can I live this day in the future, Wang Lao Liu has no idea now.

Now that the national policy is good, public primary and junior high schools basically don't need to spend any money, and multiple children are nothing more than more food, so the pressure at home is not great now.

In fact, if the family is rich, the children are sent to private schools when they are in junior high school, and the good teachers are in private schools. In the town's public middle school, there is only one class left in a grade, and the family can't afford to send their children to a private middle school. Of course, the children of Wang Laoliu's family are in public schools, and it is good to have them, how can they have the right to pick and choose!

It's okay to talk about junior high school, but soon the boss is going to go to high school, and when he is in high school, he has to go to the county school to live in the dormitory. Tuition and miscellaneous expenses plus living expenses also cost a lot of money a year. This kid's grades are not very good, and it is estimated that he will have to pay a sponsorship fee, and I heard that it will cost thousands!

Wang Lao Liu and his wife didn't dare to go out to work, because they really didn't have much education, and they were not young, even if they went out, it would be difficult for a factory to be willing to ask for him.

And look at his name, the sixth brother! He has five older brothers and sisters! If the two of them go out to work, what will happen to the children? It is impossible for his parents to take care of him, Wang Lao Liu is Chinese New Year's Eve five today, his eldest brother is in his fifties, and the eldest brother's children are about the same age as Wang Lao Liu. As for Wang Laoliu's parents, they are almost eighty years old, not only can they not help them take care of the children, but it is also the turn of Wang Lao Liu's wife to take care of the elderly for two months every year......

Hey, if you can't do it, you won't let the boss study, and many children in the village go to the south to work after graduating from junior high school, and they can earn a lot of money a year. As for the second and third children, it depends on their ability, if the grades are very good, they will find a way to continue to supply, if the grades are average, then forget it, go out to earn money after finishing junior high school!

Thinking so, Wang Lao Liu opened the courtyard door, holding three large cannon bamboos in his hand, ready to let go of the door cannon.

The courtyard of his house is not too far from Wang Ye's grandfather's house, and you can see it when you stand at the gate of your courtyard.

"Mrs. Wang's family is still generous, and the two children's families are driving cars back for the New Year, tsk!"

Wang Lao Liu looked at the two cars parked side by side in the open space at the gate of the courtyard over there, and was amazed. Although Wang Lao Liu doesn't know about cars, he doesn't know what brand the two cars are. But just by looking at the shape of the car, you can see that there must be more than 100,000, much larger than the common domestic cars in the town, and it looks much better, it must be a good car.

Wang Lao Liu is two generations lower than Wang Ye's grandfather, although his father is eighty years old, he is actually the same generation as Wang Shunzhou. In a village like Wangzhuang, which has a surname, it is all about seniority rather than age. Even if Wang Laoliu's father and mother are eighty, they will give Wang Ye's grandfather a New Year's greeting on the first day of the New Year, if they can walk the way......

As each family got up one after another, the door cannon sounded from time to time, and the sun quietly climbed into the sky, and everything that happened in Wangzhuang today was destined to be recorded in the history of the village.

Mrs. Wang, that is, Wang Ye's grandfather, is also older now, and the old people in their seventies do not come early at the beginning of each year, and they usually don't get up until seven or eight o'clock, so the younger generations in the village come to pay New Year's greetings after half past eight, and come one after another, but they are all in time before twelve o'clock at noon.

When Wang Ye drove to the gate of Wang Zhuang's hometown, it was almost eight o'clock, and his father Wang Shunzhou and aunt Wang Qiushui's family had already gotten up, let go of the door opener, and waited for Wang Ye and them to start making dumplings for breakfast.

As soon as the Bentley car drove to the open space in front of the door and stopped, Lu Dandan, who had been waiting there, shouted into the yard: "I'm back, my aunt and aunt have arrived!"

Several people in the courtyard walked out, and Wang Ye parked the car, turned off the engine and got out of the car.

"Auntie, uncle, Happy New Year. Dandan is also back this year, the longer it gets, the more beautiful it gets, haha~"

The current Wang Ye, in the eyes of Wang Qiushui Lao Lu, is not just a junior. You know, he still has countless halos on him! Anyone who faces a billionaire will probably not take it lightly.

"Oh, Wang Ye is back, it's too hard to get up so early and hurry!" Aunt Wang Qiushui stepped forward and took Wang Ye's arm and said affectionately.

My mother and sister Wang Xiaofei also got out of the car, and everyone greeted each other for a while.

Wang Shunzhou waved his hand: "Let's all go in, hurry up and have breakfast, someone should come to the door in a while." ”

He turned around and pulled Wang Ye and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring back the money?"

Wang Ye opened the trunk and picked up a handbag, not that he didn't want to carry two at a time, but he really couldn't carry it.

Lao Lu next to him saw it, and hurriedly came up to pick up another handbag, at first he thought that there was no weight and no force, but he didn't lift it.

Carrying a heavy black nylon handbag, a few people walked into the yard, and Lao Lu asked: "What's in the bag, why is it so heavy!"

Wang Shunzhou said with a haha: "Let's talk about it when we enter the house, and then we will talk about it when we enter the house." ”

Wang Ye's grandfather and grandmother also greeted him, looking at the tall and handsome grandson, the two old men smiled from ear to ear: "Xiaoye, you're back." ”

"Grandpa, grandma, you are in good health, I wish you a New Year's greeting! I wish the second elder good health and a long life!"

Wang Ye really paid New Year's greetings, and it wasn't just a verbal talk, he helped the second elder to sit on the chair, and then really knelt down and kowtowed.

In the city, there are very few New Year's kowtows, but in the countryside, not to mention other places, there is still a habit of kowtowing to the New Year in Wangzhuang.

This is not a bad habit, but a fine tradition, especially for the elders who are directly related to themselves, such as grandparents, grandparents, parents, kowtow to express filial piety, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Seeing Wang Ye kowtowing to his grandparents for the New Year, Wang Xiaofei and Lu Dandan also came over and followed the same example and kowtowed to the two old people.

Looking at the three children in front of him, the old lady Wang smiled on her face: "Okay, good boy, hurry up!"

As he spoke, he groped out three red envelopes from his pocket, one for each person. The old man used to be a cadre in the village, and now he has a little pension to receive, plus the filial piety of Wang Shunzhou and Wang Qiushui, there is no shortage of money to spend.

Over there, my aunt Wang Qiushui had already made breakfast and beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat.

Regardless of whether the family has money or not, here, on the morning of the first day of the new year, they have to eat "money skewers". Of course, in addition to this, there are quite a few dishes, which were prepared yesterday and only need to be heated today.

Today's breakfast is the real reunion dinner, a family of nine people, lively breakfast.

After eating and packing up his things, Lao Lu saw the two black handbags again. After bringing it in just now, Wang Ye casually put his handbag on the table in the living room.

Lu Dandan ran over curiously and said with a smile: "Brother, did you bring me a gift in this bag?"

As he spoke, he reached out and unzipped a handbag.

Then she stayed there and said nothing.

Lao Lu was behind her, and when she saw her daughter standing motionless and silent, she came over strangely and asked, "What are you doing?"
