Chapter 70 New Year's Greetings in the Mountains
Seeing that the fire is going to start again today, she can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info exaggerated the fragrance of grass held by his aunt in a hurry, and wanted to divert Wang Hongying's firepower against his mother-in-law:
"Oh, look! Hong Ying's family has become a fine herb, Hong Ying is angry, and she is also angry. ”
She is really crooked, Wang Hongying is afraid that outsiders will find out that this child is too smart, and she has always been worried. As soon as the sister-in-law's words came out, she was scared into a cold sweat, and immediately let go of Mrs. Wang, and explained to the sister-in-law: "How can such a young child understand the affairs of adults? ! ”
Her sister-in-law laughed happily when she saw that she had successfully unloaded her sister-in-law's firepower: "Hahaha!
Wang Hongying smiled and kissed the cheeks of the bulging grass and coaxed the little guy: "Come on!
Xiaocaoxiang muttered, and only opened her mouth after a while: "Aunt!"
"Hello~!" The eldest aunt raised her voice and responded with a bend, and did not forget to praise and praise: "Look at this little mouth, you can speak really clearly!"
Hong Shun's family also took advantage of the situation to get close to the eldest sister, coaxing the grass fragrance to call her second aunt, and the old lady of the Wang family, who was shrinking to the side, saw that her crisis had finally passed, quietly wiped the sweat on her forehead, and turned around and ran to the second child's house to complain to the concubine.
Although Taoxiang was still clamoring to go home, just because she had promised to eat dinner at the second family, it was impossible for Wang Hongying to take the child away.
The second grandfather's dinner did not have any fresh dishes, all salted duck, salted meat, salted dried seeds, fortunately, the staple food was noodles under chicken soup. The children of the Liu family ate two large bowls hotly, and finally solved the food and clothing of their stomachs.
In the first lunar month, the main family eats dinner early, so that the guests can go home while the sky is still bright. When they arrived home, Liu Yuzhen's three sisters, the three family members were all there. Wang Hongying asked her aunt in surprise: "Why haven't you left so far away, and you plan to walk at night?"
Liu Yuzhen replied with a smile: "I won't go back tonight, tomorrow our family will go to the second sister's house for breakfast in the morning, go to the younger sister's house for lunch at noon, and go home in the afternoon." Tomorrow this trip is finished, and the province will have to run again. Anyway, there is no Venerable Master in my family, so I don't have to pay so much attention to who I go to to pay New Year's greetings first!"
"It's good to go to two houses a day, then let Guixiang and them follow you to Yu Ying and Yu Ping's house tomorrow, and then go to your house with you in the evening! Your eldest brother wants to go to the mountains with his father-in-law to pay New Year's greetings, I'm afraid it will take a few days, I have to accompany my mother-in-law to entertain people at home, and I really don't have time to take the children to your house to pay New Year's greetings. ”
"Sister-in-law, you are too busy to go to my house throughout the year, and I still think that you can go to my house for a walk when you are free in the first month! I specially pickled a ham and didn't dare to move, just waiting for you to go over and talk to my eldest brother. ”
"You three girls are going to go to their own house, but they have to wait until after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and even bring you to the Lantern Festival for the Lantern Festival. However, a few children have to go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings first, and it will be too late for us to go together, that is not true!"
Liu Yuzhen was happy when she heard that her eldest brother and sister-in-law would go to their house. Suddenly, I remembered a few uncles' houses: "When will I go to my uncle's house? When the time comes, Fang Ming and I will go with you!"
"Originally, I was scheduled to go on the sixth day of the new year, because your eldest brother and they were going to the mountains to pay New Year's greetings, and I am afraid it will be postponed until after the eighth day of the new year. ”
At that time, almost all the relatives who should have come to my house were here, and let the children watch the door at home, and Fang Ming and I were relieved to come out for a day. ”
Wang Hongying thought that Yu Jin and her father-in-law would have to wait until at least three or four o'clock in the morning to get up and hurry, but they didn't expect them to go to bed before it was dark. Just after twelve o'clock in the night, I got up with my groping, washed up, and walked away with two burdens for New Year's greetings.
Liu Baiquan and his son hurried slowly, and finally arrived at Xie's house in the mountains in the morning (the custom in this place is that the New Year's greetings in the first month must be at the lord's house before noon, and it is taboo to go home in the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings).
Earlier, the uncle of the Xie family had heard that his nephew was coming over on the fourth or fifth day of the new year, so he explained to his family on the night of the third day of the new year and went to the bottom of the mountain early to wait. I was so happy that I was able to receive my nephew at the door in the fourth year of junior high school, and my laughter was a little out of control, and I was coughing and hiccups. Xie Zhishan and the second child Xie Zhiwang hurriedly patted their father on the back, for fear that he would cough and burp at the same time, and he would be too busy to carry his breath.
The New Year's greetings brought by the father and son of the Liu family were quite eye-catching. Uncle, second uncle, third uncle and the old captain's four parents: brown sugar is a must-have for New Year's greetings, two packs (two catties) for a family, two boxes of baked cakes, one pack of white rabbit milk candy (half a catty), two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine (Erhe Daqu), and one (five catties) for pork.
Brother Xie Zhishan, his cousin, and Brother Xie Zhihong: each family has a box of baked cakes, a box of black cuts, a box of ordinary biscuits, two bottles of Erhe Daqu, and a piece of pork.
The three uncles and the old captain are elders, and Liu Baiquan took his eldest son and the New Year's greetings to the door in person. Although Xie Zhihong and Xie Zhiguo are equals, because of their father, Liu Baiquan also brought his eldest son and New Year's greetings to the door, and they were paying New Year's greetings in a regular manner. The other peers were Liu Yujin who gave the New Year's greeting gift first, and Liu Baiquan then sat down and talked, and the time of ten minutes was over.
With such a big cottage, there must be other families surnamed Xie. However, Liu Baiquan did not stop moving because the relationship was far away, he was an elder, so he sent two packs (two catties) of brown sugar to meet the gift. There will be elders in almost every room, so Liu Baiquan only used a dozen packets of brown sugar to take care of the family. Liu Baiquan was happy, several of his uncles were also happy because their nephews gave them long faces, and several families who received New Year's greetings were even more happy, and they praised Liu Baiquan in front of several uncles, saying that their nephews would be good people.
In fact, it only takes two days to go through the house, because of the single-minded retention of several uncles, Liu Baiquan and his son had to stay for another day.
After chatting with a few old watches in the past few days, Liu Yujin learned that other families in the mountains also hunted prey to sell in the county. It's just that there are fewer of them, and most of the prey is brought back, and they are not all sold out like them, not to mention, in the end, there are two people who feel that they have bought less!
"They may not have found the right place, or they may have been too rash. On the one hand, we happened to meet those friends of Director Zhao and Secretary Ge, who love to eat wild meat and are not short of money. On the other hand, they also helped us greet and solicit business more than half a month in advance. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to sell that much!"
Chenglin, Chengshu, and Chenglu nodded straightly: "Yes! Yes!"
"We're glad we had you, too! If we're on our own, where are we going to meet those rich people?"
"Speaking of which, the pillars were also sold on a temporary basis because we had sold so many wild things at once. However, fortunately, they still have some gains, and the family has also divided dozens or hundreds of dollars. Otherwise, I always feel sorry for them. "Xie Chenglin is almost forty years old, and he knows the difficulties of life, unlike those young and ignorant people in the family, who secretly gloat. On the contrary, he felt guilty because he was not able to help them.
Liu Yujin can only talk about this matter as gossip, and he doesn't dare to take care of things blindly. After that, when it came to tea, I heard Yu Jin Lao Biao say very frustratedly that there were only reservations of less than 100 catties, but they were happy to jump. Although their family can make more than 100 catties of tea, the reservation of 100 catties is too small, but they can be regarded as opening a way that has never been done under the mountain. It's much better than the "uncles" who have been relying on the supply and marketing cooperatives to collect or not!
