According to the rules in the countryside, relatives must go to the New Year's house, grandparents' house, aunt's house, uncle's house, and these relatives have to go to the New Year's house.

And Guan Xiaojun's five aunts will also come to visit the New Year with their uncles during the New Year, and several brothers of Hongda will also come to visit, and some of Guan Yunshan's old classmates who Guan Hongda funded back then will also come to Guan's house to visit Guan Hongda and his wife at this time, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the guests of the Guan family have never been interrupted.

And the place that is more lively than Guan Hongda's house, that is, Guan Zizai's home, the old man is over 90 years old, although his relatives are not there, but after all, there are still some relatives of side branches, great-grandsons, grandsons and other relatives There are still a lot, many of them are actually out of five suits, and some of them can't beat the eight poles.

But I can't stand Guan Zizi is rich, this old man is an old revolutionary, what he has done, basically no one knows, but his salary has always been very high, a month's salary, enough for ordinary people to do two or three years of income, plus his ancestors are arrogant, no one dared to confiscate the property at that time, when fighting the landlord, no one dared to fight his old man in the entire Guandi Temple, so the ancestral property has always been there.

This old man has such a family business, and his hands are also extremely generous, the so-called rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and there are relatives if they are rich.

Therefore, over the years, some side blood relatives have not stopped moving, often bringing a large family to kowtow to Guan Zizai for the New Year, and by the way, let the child get some New Year's money.

The sixteenth day of the first month.

In the Yunze area, there is such a custom, the sixteenth day of the first month must run in the morning, there is a smooth slip, called "running and jumping for a year without getting sick", this season, not only people have to go out for activities, even the livestock have to be led out for a walk.

Guan Xiaojun has a cow at home, a donkey, the cow is an old ox, can't ride, but the donkey can ride it, every morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Guan Yunshan will put Guan Xiaojun on the back of the donkey, the two of them ran out of the village together, Guan Yunshan led the donkey to run, Guan Xiaojun rode on the back of the donkey, and pressed his hands on the donkey's back with a nervous face, for fear of being thrown off the donkey's back.

As for the old scalper, Guan Yang and Lu Xin'e led him to other places.

On this day, the whole country road was full of morning joggers, everyone was laughing while walking, the elderly and children were sweating on their faces, everyone was excited, and regarded this morning jogging as a ritual.

Many years later, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there are very few people running in the morning, some ancestral customs have basically disappeared, and some ceremonial activities have gradually disappeared, such as the Shang Yang Dance used to pray for the rain before, basically no one can dance, and it is in a state of loss.

On the way back to my home on a donkey that morning, when I passed by the village, I saw a jeep coming from a distance, leading the children on the side of the road to shout and scream, and when the jeep came to the village, many children ran after the car.

In this era, cars in the countryside are rare, and every time a car passes through Guandimiao Village, it will attract many children to chase and watch.

Guan Yunshan stopped and looked at the jeep with a curious expression, "Huh, this car is not very familiar, who is here?"

In the entire Fengshan Township, there are not a few jeeps in total, and the owners of all the cars, Guan Yunshan, know each other, and are extremely familiar with their cars, and they can know whose car is without looking at the license plate, but now he feels extremely unfamiliar with this car.

Guan Xiaojun was also curious, and when he found that the car was parked at the gate of Guan Zi's house, he was even more curious, "Why don't I know that there are such relatives in the grandfather's family?"

After the father and son returned home, Guan Xiaojun went to Guan Zizi's yard with Guan Yang to practice boxing as usual, and after seeing the jeep parked at the gate, Guan Yang took a curious look in the rearview mirror of the car, "Whose car is this? If our family has such a car in the future, how good it would be!"

Guan Xiaojun said with a smile: "What kind of good thing is this car? In less than ten years, I will buy you a better car than this!"

Guan Yang sighed, "Brag!"

At this time, there were several children around the jeep, all of whom looked strange next to the car, some children also curiously stretched out their fingers to poke the tires of the car, some went to touch the handle of the door, and some children directly clasped the spare tire behind the jeep with both hands, and their bodies were hanging in the air.

A fat and short middle-aged man next to the car was constantly scolding the children in the village, "Don't touch it, you little red guys, this car is so expensive, don't get dirty!

But the children in the village don't care about this, they still laugh and play next to the car, and the middle-aged man doesn't dare to really do anything to the child, but he really feels sorry for the car, with a tangled and helpless look on his face.

After he heard Guan Xiaojun's words, his mouth twitched, "This car is nothing? What a big breath! What do you know about a little red guy?"

Guan Xiaojun smiled and glanced at the middle-aged man opposite, "Are you from the Demon Capital?" or Su Kun? You can't be a relative of the Taiye's family, because I don't know you, and I basically know all the relatives of the Taiye's family. You can't be a friend of Taiye, Taiye's friends are all old people, you are not old enough, unless you are a junior of Taiye's friend, but I don't look at you very much. ”

He reached out and patted the front cover of the jeep, "If you don't have anything to do with my grandfather, it must be because of something to come to him, but he rarely cares about other people's affairs, unless someone wants to buy his flowers." ”

Guan Xiaojun looked at the middle-aged man opposite with a smile, "You are here to buy our master's flowers, aren't you?" No, it should be you, it seems that your companion has already gone in to discuss with the master!"

The middle-aged man on the other side grew his mouth in surprise, "Ahh

Guan Xiaojun waved his hand, "No matter how smart I am, I can't compare to you businessmen." Don't swear anymore, you scold me again, I'll make it impossible for you to leave our village! Watch your car, don't be urinated on in a while!"

Like a little adult, he walked through the gate with his hands behind his back and walked towards the courtyard where he was free.

Guan Yang followed him and asked softly, "Xiaojun, how do you know that this fat man is from the Demon Capital?"

Guan Xiaojun said: "Didn't our grandfather save a lot of people on the train track last time, and one of them was from the Demon Capital, and his tone of voice was exactly the same as this fat man!"

Guan Yang nodded, "Oh, I see. It's funny for this big fat guy to talk!"

In fact, the middle-aged man who watched the car in front of the door was not very fat, in the crowd of later generations, after people reached middle age, their body shape was generally the same, and even a lot fatter than this person, which was a commonplace body type in later generations.

But in this era, it is not easy to find a fat man in the village, and it is a big deal to find a thin man.

Thinking of seeing a fat man of this size at first glance, Guan Yang felt that this person was so fat, and he had never seen such a fat guy.

The sister and brother walked for a while, and then walked to Guan Zizai's flower room, and saw Guan Zizai walking around the flower room with two middle-aged men with his beard, and one of the men also reached out from time to time to pluck the fat leaves of a few Junzi orchids.

"I'm a good flower, aren't I?"

Guan Zizai looked at the potted flowers in the flower room, and felt a sense of accomplishment, "If you want it, I don't want much money, for the sake of you who have come from afar, I will give it to you for free, to be honest, I have raised these flowers for many years, this is really a bit too much space, you want to, just pull it away, just leave a few pots for me, but you have to keep some ...... for the flower pot money"

Guan Xiaojun strode to Guan Zizai's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed Guan Zizai's palm, "Master, didn't you say that you were going to give me these flowers?"
