Chapter 17 One year old in the sound of firecrackers
Look back at the capital.
Regardless of other families, anyway, this Chinese New Year's Eve of the Hong family was indeed and beautiful. First, there is a reunion dinner, then a New Year's celebration, firecrackers, a resignation, and then dumplings.
There was no TV back then, and there was no Spring Festival Gala, but the Hong family didn't sit down for the New Year, they had their own unique programs.
After he was full of wine and food, Hong Lucheng gathered his family together, and then asked Wang Yunlin to take out a stack of red slips of paper and hang them on the wire, on which were the riddles he had copied with a brush many days in advance. Whoever guesses right has a prize.
These riddles have two main characteristics. First, the puzzles are quite cola, full of humor. The second is that it is very easy to guess, and it is not difficult at all.
For example, "the eunuch in the palace" (beating a fruit) - "plum", "looking forward to winter" (typing a countryโโโ), "Greece", "obesity" (beating a food) - "meat floss", "seventy-two hours" (typing a word) - "crystal", and so on, everyone guessed with great interest.
The prize is to take the things that Hong Yanwu bought at the department store. Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru were the biggest winners of the day, in addition to daily necessities such as shoes and socks, scarves, and handkerchiefs, they also got the "hero pen" that Hong Yanwu specially bought for them.
Of course, this is just a form of walking to add a little fun. Because even if someone really can't guess, in the end, everyone will always get what they deserve.
In addition to guessing riddles, the other game is "playing poker". In order to take care of the youngest Hong Jun, the Hong family only plays "Catch Niangniang", which is a poker game with "tribute", which is also called "striving for the top".
Of course, Hong Jun will definitely not be an opponent of adults, he has lost several times in a row, only when the "mother" is the sake, he has to give the best card he caught to the "emperor".
In the first few times, he didn't care if he lost, but he kept losing and losing, and he was a little ...... when he saw the pride of others after they became the "emperor" and received tribute
Wang Yunlin saw that her grandson's tears began to roll in his eyes. hurriedly squeezed his eyes and winked at others, meaning that everyone let him a little, and then brought out a plate of high-grade candy bought by Hong Yanwu to him, and coaxed him again and again, "If you lose, you will get a prize!
Hong Jun smiled embarrassedly, stopped playing, and went to eat candy.
However, there is a side effect here. Because no one ignores that there is a "wine chocolate" in the candy.
Hong Jun had never eaten anything like this before, and he loved both the colorful cellophane and the taste of chocolate. As a result, he ate this thing, and by the time everyone realized that something was wrong, the boy was already asleep with a red face. Look at his feet again, there must be twenty small wrappers.
Hong Yanwu was the first to understand, and said, "Really good, after drinking, I estimate that there are one or two, this kid has become a drunk cat." โ
In this way, Hong Jun neither kept the age of adulthood, nor could he eat dumplings, and even the firecrackers were not set off, and he was the first to leave.
When twelve o'clock in the middle of the night was approaching, the sound of firecrackers in the capital was simply chaotic. Traditionally, the official farewell ceremony takes place at this moment.
In general, in the family, it is enough to kowtow to the elderly. The Hong family can't. In addition to the children bowing to their parents, younger brothers and sisters also bow to their elder brothers.
The youngest is Hong Yanru, counting Chen Liquan, she now has four brothers, and she has really bowed for a while.
However, her hard work was compensated when she took the "pressure money". Not only Wang Yunlin was happy, but she gave each child in the family a "red envelope" of "a great unity". Even Hong Yanzheng, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also gave Hong Yanru a separate share. Everyone knows how to care for this little sister.
And when it came to eating "five more dumplings", it was even more interesting, and the situation at that time was simply strange. Because Chen Liquan simply eats a dumpling and spits out a jujube core, Hong Yanwu almost eats a dumpling and spits out a coin.
This provoked everyone to say "mom's eccentric eyes", and they all thought that Wang Yunlin deliberately put dumplings with "content" in front of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
It can be said that it is also evil, and others have no clips in front of them, and these two boys, go to the plate in front of others, and they are still "in stock".
In the end, except for Hong Lucheng, who also ate three coins, the other six coins were all spit out by Hong Yanwu. The nine dates were all eaten by Chen Liquan. It's all evil at home.
In the face of this result, everyone has to admit it, feeling that this is really a matter of luck.
In short, the golden snake reported the victory, and the horse sent spring. In the deafening sound of firecrackers, the men, women and children of the Hong family, and every household in the capital, welcomed the Year of the Horse into their homes together.
One year old is gone, and it's a new page!
February 7, 1978, the first day of the first lunar month.
From this day on, the official holiday of the Spring Festival begins.
However, it is worth mentioning that during the 10-year "movement", due to the call of the higher authorities to "not stop fighting for 30 years and continue to work on the first day of the new year" and "to have a revolutionary Spring Festival", starting from 1967, China's Spring Festival vacation system was completely suspended.
The gradual recovery began in 1976, when only some provinces, including the capital, were initially available, and the holidays were only three days.
Therefore, all the New Year's greetings, friend visits, and family visits in the capital must be completed from the first to the third year of the new year. Then it seems a little tight and a little overwhelmed in time.
Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, since the whole family of the Da Shou family came to the Hong family to pay New Year's greetings and lived together for a day, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan almost ate out for the rest of the day. Not only is the stomach burdened quite heavy, but there are always some unexpected things at every meal, which makes Hong Yanwu have to think about it.
For example, at noon on the second day of junior high school, the two of them went to Chang Xianzhang's house for dinner as scheduled. Not only was he warmly entertained by Gu Lingye, but he was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the two teachers already had plans to get married on May Day.
So as the students of Chang and Gu, in addition to congratulations, the two of them must also do their best to prepare for the two teachers. So at that time, Hong Yanwu ignored Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye's excuses, and insisted on contracting all the wedding preparations.
In the afternoon of this day, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan went to Zaolin West Street to look for "red leaves". How do you know that "Momiji" is closed at home, and even the neighbors can't say when he will come back.
And when they left a note and walked home, they accidentally ran into Zhang Baocheng who was about to go to Xing Zhengyi's house for dinner on the way.
In this way, it is better to be in time than to be in time, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were dragged by Zhang Baocheng to the Southern Line Pavilion.
Zhao Zhenmin arrived at Xing Zhengyi's house one step earlier, and when he saw Zhang Baocheng coming with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, he immediately shouted happily. "Justice, come and see, alas, there are fake policemen who have penetrated into our army. "Isn't it, the naval uniforms on Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are basically the same among the policemen.
This time, it was the first time Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin saw Chen Liquan, but because of Quanzi's honesty in his bones, they quickly had a good impression of him. On the contrary, because of the canned food and Moutai wine brought by Hong Yanwu, they were suspicious of him, and after interrogation for a while, it was not until Hong Yanwu told him in detail about his encounter in Bincheng that he was allowed to pass.
The dinner was made by Xing Zhengyi's mother, and the dishes were a little scarce, but the content of the conversation was quite interesting.
Since Zhao Zhenmin is going to do professional pickpocketing, he naturally wants to pestering Hong Yanwu to tell more about the inside story of "Buddha".
At the same time, there is also a lot of news revealed in the chat of the police. The five divisions of the Municipal Bureau have been officially upgraded to the Labor Reform Bureau, and many units in charge have also been established. It is estimated that the next step will be to carry out regional classification and crackdown. So they all reminded Hong Yanwu that he must control himself and don't provoke right and wrong outside.
It can be said that this meal is basically a black and white information exchange conference. This also made Hong Yanwu soberly aware that the construction of the legal system is accelerating, whether it is for the peace of mind of his parents, or for the sake of having a legal job to increase his own security, he and Quanzi should find a job as soon as possible, even if it is a temporary job.
What's even more interesting is that on this day, when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came home in the evening, they knew that "Red Leaves" actually came to the door with two boxes of snacks and two bottles of wine in the afternoon.
So naturally, on the third day of the junior high school, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who had just eaten with the police, sat with the "players" and "Buddhas" such as "Red Leaves", "Naughty Child", "Kitchen Knife", "Shunzi", and "Three Jumpers".
However, Hong Yanwu ate a little unbalanced spleen and stomach at this meal, and he also regretted it a little.
One is because the restaurant is not open, and the content of this meal is very wrong, there is no vegetable. This guy only took two catties of peanuts, two roast chickens, a plate of pine eggs, a plate of pig's head meat, and a pot of stewed pig's trotters to drink. For people who have been eating big fish and meat for several days, it is really a bit greasy and difficult to swallow.
In addition, the request made by "Momiji" to him also made him angry. He didn't expect that his original advice made "Momiji" admitted to university, but now this guy wants to put the livelihood of his subordinates on him. It's a bit of a cocoon.
Hong Yanwu is unwilling to accept this hot potato, so he has to find an excuse to shirk.
Therefore, first, he told all the letters he heard from the police yesterday, and secondly, he said that he had washed his hands in a golden basin, and from the perspective of "rules of the rivers and lakes", he could not touch the "Buddha" again. Thirdly, he said that he and Chen Liquan's livelihood had not yet been settled, and if he didn't steal or rob, it was tantamount to a fantasy to find food for so many people.
Unexpectedly, these reasons not only did not work for "Momiji", but on the contrary, they made "Momiji" make up his mind.
"Momiji" said that first of all, it is precisely because of the tightening of police intervention that it is necessary to find another way to survive. Second, the brothers just wanted to eat without relying on their fingers, even if they followed Hong Yanwu, they couldn't say that they violated the "rules of the rivers and lakes". Three, just Chong Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who are brightly dressed, and the scenery of Moutai is not like a down-and-out one. So he asked Hong Yanwu not to pretend to be a grandson here.
Speaking of which, the premeditated "Red Leaves" let the "naughty child" and "kitchen knife", "straight", and "three jumpers" knock one to Hong Yanwu together, which means that he should have to respond to the donkey on the shelf, and he should have to respond today.
Now Hong Yanwu is sitting on wax, he and Chen Liquan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying You really look up to me. If you look back and follow me hungry, you'll be dumbfounded.
I don't know that the words under the autumn leaves are even more choking. He said that real people in the world never show their faces, and most people who have the ability have a very bad appearance, such as Jigong, Li Tiegui or something.
