February 5, 1978, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Since there is no thirty in this year, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. This is tantamount to saying that the Spring Festival is just around the corner.

Of course, in the last two days before the festival, everyone has their own things to do.

For the three women of the Hong family, it is to follow the old order that you can't cook without a knife in the first month. Continue to steam steamed buns, croquettes, roast fish and stew, and make those unfinished New Year's dishes.

For Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, their task is to distribute New Year's gifts to relatives and friends.

How to assign it, last night, Hong Yanwu had already calculated it with his mother. The New Year's gift came out of the dried seafood he brought back, the New Year's goods he bought and the sixteen boxes of Moutai.

Of course, at first, Wang Yunlin didn't agree with Hong Yanwu's appropriation of "someone else's" things, and she thought that the wine belonged to Yang Weifan.

Hong Yanwu, who was clever and eloquent, insisted that Yang Weifan gave him two boxes of Moutai, saying that if his mother didn't believe it, he could call and ask. So Wang Yunlin had no choice but to believe it.

In the end, it was decided that two catties of sea cucumbers, two catties of abalone, two catties of dried scallops, two catties of dried shrimp, two catties of eggs, four catties of pork ribs, four catties of cavity bones, one catty of water chestnuts, a bundle of leeks, a bottle of fruit wine, one catty of mixed mixes, six canned food, ten fruits, and two bottles of Moutai were each taken four shares, and sent them separately to Shou Jingfang, Chang Xianzhang, Xiaobaizi's family and Yang Weifan's Feng family.

In addition, he had to add a live chicken, a bottle of leek flowers, a bottle of fermented bean curd, a bottle of shrimp paste, a bottle of good soy sauce, and a pound of high-grade candy to Shou Jingfang, and then send two bottles of Moutai to Song Guofu's family, and give some meat such as pork ribs, coarse bones, and sausages to the neighbors in the East Courtyard.

The reason why this is the case is that Wang Yunlin decided to do this after careful consideration and sophistication according to the distance between relatives and the sophistication of people.

First of all, Shou Jingfang is not only a close relative of the Hong family, but also saved Hong Lucheng's life, and he has just resumed walking around in the past 20 years.

Secondly, Chang Xianzhang is the teacher of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and the two of them have harmed others a lot, so they should pay more respect and try to compensate for it.

Furthermore, Xiao Baizi has worked hard all the way, and the credit before and after the saddle should also be solemnly thanked.

As for the Feng family, although he has never dealt with it, this is for Yang Weifan to send the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon" to the door of the Hong family, and the love of the three hundred heavy gifts, how can he not live up to the entrustment of others.

And Song Guofu's family, because they are high-level families, there is no shortage of real things. In order to repay the favor of the 300 catties of food stamps, sending two bottles of good wine is not only decent, but also just right, and it will not cause people to have any misunderstandings about each other.

Finally, that's all about the neighbors. After so many years of ups and downs, although several families respect and help each other, they have become like a family, but after all, the people in the capital pay attention to the old etiquette that comes and goes, and each of them is a small family.

From this point of view, reasonable gifts must not be publicized, and it is fundamental to make each other feel at ease. Otherwise, kindness can also be tiring and hurtful.

Wang Yunlin was really afraid that the heavy gifts would increase the pressure on each family to return the gifts, so she could only send some meat that everyone lacked the most, in order to maintain this simple emotional exchange. Anyway, the days are long-term, and there will be opportunities to help in the future.

After listening to Wang Yunlin's series of arrangements, Hong Yanwu pondered carefully and found that there was no flaw, and all aspects were particularly thorough. So much so that he couldn't help but praise his mother at that time.

"You're really an expert in gift-giving, but you can make me ask a long question." This person is sophisticated, and I really have to study hard. There is an old family, if there is a treasure, it's really true, ginger is still old and spicy......"

Who knew that Wang Yunlin heard her son say this, but she didn't buy it, and slapped him on the back.

"You're just poor with me, aren't you making fun of your mother? There is a lot of knowledge in gift-giving, how rare and strange are you, where is this?"

In this way, that night, the mother and son divided the various gifts into several sacks. At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Hong Yanwu, who was on an important task, got up.

Some people may wonder, why is it so early? What are you in a hurry?

Hey, he's not in a hurry. The key is that Shou Jingfang is there, according to the number of etiquette, not only must he go first, but he must also go early, otherwise this miracle doctor will go to work in the pharmacy. It's too inappropriate to bring so many things and live chickens to send to someone's unit, isn't it?

So he set the alarm clock last night, thinking that he would go to Shou's house early in the morning. And it just so happened that the Feng family also lived in Chongwen District, so he sent the farthest of these two families by hand.

As for the rest of the family, that's easy to say. Chang Xianzhang and Xiao Baizi should be at home during the day, and they can go whenever they want. Song Guofu's house is also close, especially the neighborhood, and the Hong family will live together as soon as they are sent separately.

And like Momiji, the old ghost, a few old brothers, and those police buddies, you have to contact them when you have time. But that can be postponed until after the holiday, and there is no need to rush it.

Soon, after Hong Yanwu finished washing, he beckoned Chen Liquan, who got up earlier to practice, and went to the house in the East Courtyard first. He took two sacks that had already been divided, tied a chicken, and went out without breakfast.

But at this moment, Wang Yunlin stopped them, and the pot of steamed buns steamed in the morning was just cooked, and she wanted the two children to eat a steamed bun before going out

Although Hong Yanwu was in a hurry to leave, he couldn't live up to his mother's kindness. went over and opened the lid of the steaming pot, directly copied a white and bright steamed bun with his hand and handed it to Chen Liquan, and then took one himself.

But he didn't expect the steamed buns to be really hot, and he didn't have Chen Liquan's hand skills, so he couldn't hold it anymore, and he poured his two hands back and forth while blowing, just like practicing juggling, and he ate a lot of fun.

That's it, and I'm still stuffing it in my mouth. While sighing, he said, "Mom, the steamed buns are so steamed." But I love to eat this steamed bun, and it has a unique chewy ......."

This immediately made Wang Yunlin cry and laugh, and she nagged vigorously. "You stupid boy, you don't look like you have eaten at all, you know that you were born in 60 at a glance. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were all happy.

After eating the steamed buns, the two of them did not delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Wang Yunlin, one of them carried a sack on their backs, took the chicken and walked outside the courtyard one after the other.

But just after going out of the cave, something went wrong again, and they suddenly bumped into two hairy black shadows.

At this time, it was still dark, which startled them, and they thought that they had "hit" something unclean.

Hong Yanwu was at the forefront, and when he said "oops", his eyes widened. When I looked closely, I found that in front of my eyes were two people wearing torn sheepskin jackets and carrying a lot of things.

However, it is a bit inaccurate to say "human", and the most appropriate word should probably be "savage".

Because just these two black shadows, their faces are really terrifying.

One is broad, the other is thin, the common denominator is that he has a gray face, and his hair and beard are all messy, as if he has layers of gray hair all over his body. In the dark, the nose, eyebrows and eyes are all unclear, but the two pairs of eyes are bright and dangling.

If you don't hear it, you can definitely think of them as little ghosts who ran out of the City God Temple.

What's more unexpected is still to come, Hong Yanwu hasn't asked yet. The two "wild men" were anxious first, they actually jumped forward, grabbed Hong Yanwu's arm left and right, and shouted.

"Come on, people!

Hong Yanwu was shocked at the moment, and said in his heart, what's the matter, what are you going to do? Is it crazy or trying to grab something?

So he didn't think much about it at all, and subconsciously pulled the sack, and then made a "slope" on his left foot and right foot, and threw the two "wild men" to the bottom of the high steps at once.

Unexpectedly, these two "wild men" did not stop, and they screamed while lying on the ground.

A chant. "There are no people in the East Courtyard, don't sleep! The thief is coming, come out and catch the thief!"

The other also shouted. "What's the matter? It's so blatant to steal things? You two are running away, so I'm going to send you to the police station!"

At this time, Hong Yanwu pondered the taste, I was afraid that he had misunderstood.

Hurry up and stop, "Okay! Stop shouting! What's the matter? You still think you're stealing something! Who the hell are you? What kind of business is this?"

Chen Liquan seemed to hear a familiar voice, and hurriedly walked to the front from the back and asked, "Hey, it's the third brother of the Bian family, I'm Quanzi......"

Suddenly, there was silence in front of the courtyard gate.

After a while, the two "wild men" stabbed again.

One asked, "Quanzi, why are you? You can be ruthless enough to smash us, the stinky boy who did it won't be Hong Laosan, right?"

The other said, "Quanzi, I'm Su Jin." Even you've become a big boy, you really scare us......"

Hong Yanwu also remembered now, it turned out that one of these two "savages" was Bian Jiangong, the youngest son of the Bian family, and the other was Su Jin, the eldest son of the Su family, the two of them were classmates, three years older than Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and they had been in Inner Mongolia together since 72 years.

Originally, they hadn't seen each other for several years, and they couldn't see people clearly in the dark light, and the two of them were still carrying so many things on their backs and holding chickens in their hands, so they had a misunderstanding.

At this time, he couldn't help laughing, and quickly reached over and pulled both of them up from the ground. followed the mouth to say that he was offended, and went to help others pick up their luggage.

Bian Jiangong and Su Jin were also happy at this time.

One said, "Look at this misunderstanding, I didn't enter the courtyard when I came back, but I let your kid kick out first, but we have practiced a few hands in Inner Mongolia, and we haven't been able to prevent you......

Another said, "Things don't break, let's do it ourselves." If you have something to do, let's go quickly, and we'll talk about it later......"

Hong Yanwu was not polite, so he pulled Chen Liquan and left first. But parting, I also photographed myself and Quanzi with cigarettes in my pockets to the two "savages".

The two "flower masters" are still shouting with cigarettes behind them.

"Yo, you've all smoked 'Xiangshan' and 'Summer Palace', it's okay......"

"Oh, by the way, I'll bring you dried cheese, come back and taste it......"

Hong Yanwu turned back and ran on as he walked.

"Sensei nonsense! I said you two should take a shower before you two go into the house, you're all dirty. It's like a stinky ribbon fish and like an upside-down pickle bowl, be careful to let the family beat you out again......"

Unexpectedly, Bian Jiangong laughed badly when he heard it, and with the strength of a hooligan proletarian, he said something from afar.

"What is the smell, we still have lice, you deserve it. Who told you to get your hands on our ......"
