Volume 1 Reliving the First Life Chapter 53: Chinese New Year's Eve (Kneeling and begging for a monthly pass)

After separating from Liu Yang, Zhang Siyuan rode back home. Zhang's mother is already making rice balls, because Haining City is located in the north of the Yangtze River, and it is only separated by a river from the south of the Yangtze River. So the custom is closer to the south. On Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to eat rice balls. If it's in the north, it's eating dumplings.

Because you have to eat tangyuan on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day morning, you need to make a little more. It is also more laborious to make glutinous rice balls, and it takes a long time, so Zhang Ma is preparing it at a short time.

Seeing Zhang Siyuan enter the yard, Zhang's mother stopped her hand and face movements and said: "Do you still know how to come back? Do you see who still runs out to play in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve? Hurry up and go to the house to help your father cut the couplet, paste the Spring Festival couplet early, and let's eat early today." ”

"Good. Zhang Siyuan knew that Zhang's mother was unhappy that she often ran out, and she didn't have a hippie smile, so she went straight into the house to help Zhang's father cut couplets.

Zhang's father had already cut a small half couplet, and when he saw Zhang Siyuan coming in, he said, "Son, come, you come to cut, I'll start pasting." Aim for two hours to finish, then rest. "At this time, it was not like the couplets of later generations, which were basically cut, and they were all cut one by one, and they needed to be cut at home.

After speaking, Zhang's father handed the blade in his hand to Zhang Siyuan, and walked outside with the already cut couplet.

Zhang Siyuan's house was handed down by Zhang Siyuan's grandfather. It is very common in courtyard houses, with many doors and windows, so there are many couplets to be pasted. Unlike residential buildings, it doesn't matter if the door is pasted on the inside.

Zhang Siyuan held a blade and cut a couplet, and many people felt that it was very easy to cut couplets. In fact, it is not easy at all, because the couplets should be cut neatly, and there should be no folds when folded, otherwise the cut couplets will be crooked. In addition, most of the couplets are relatively long, and when folded, if they are not aligned well, the cut couplets cannot be used.

After cutting the door frame and the couplet on the door, Zhang Siyuan heard Zhang's father shouting to him outside. Walking out of the house, Zhang's father stood on the stool and said to Zhang Siyuan, "Son, bring me the horizontal batch." ”

When Zhang Siyuan heard this, he entered the house, took the horizontal batch with "All the best" to the gate of the courtyard, and handed it to Zhang's father. After Dad Zhang finished pasting, he clapped his hands, jumped off the stool, and said, "It's done, let's go, stick to the house." ”

Zhang's father walked in front, and Zhang Siyuan followed with a stool. After entering the yard, Zhang's father said, "You go and post the utility room, I'll post the house, no problem, right?"

"Small meaning. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile, then went into the house and took a stool and put it under the door of the utility room, smeared the batter on the door frame, and began to paste the couplet.

After pasting the couplet between the miscellaneous items, Zhang Siyuan turned to look at Zhang's father. After a glance, Zhang Siyuan's eyes were a little moist, and he saw that Zhang's father had already pasted the door frame and door. But hanging money and horizontal batches are a bit out of reach.

Looking at Zhang's father's waist, which was already a little hunched down, Zhang Siyuan calmed down. He stepped forward and said, "Dad, come down and let me post it." ”

Dad Zhang, who was standing on the stool, heard Zhang Siyuan's words, jumped down from the stool, and patted Zhang Siyuan on the shoulder: "It's not okay to be old, look at you, you're taller than me." You come and post it, and I'll show you whether it's right or not. ”

After receiving the hanging money from Zhang's father, Zhang Siyuan stepped onto the stool, and asked while comparing them, "Is it okay here?"

"A little to the left, it's bigger, a little more to the right, yes, right here. Zhang's father stood behind and reminded that Zhang's mother, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth when she saw her son and husband with couplets pasted in the yard.

Two hours later, all the couplets in the house were pasted. Zhang Siyuan, who had been busy for two hours, ran to the kitchen after washing his hands and asked Zhang's mother, "Mom, how are you going?" Is there anything to eat, I'm hungry." ”

"There's beef next to the cutting board, you cut a little bit yourself and eat it first. Don't eat too much, the glutinous rice balls will be ready in a while. Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Siyuan's anxious appearance and said with a smile.

cut a piece of beef on the cutting board and took it away to eat, and Zhang Siyuan didn't stay in the kitchen anymore to disturb Zhang's mother to make rice balls. Instead, he ran to the back room and got a small chair, and sat in the yard eating beef and basking in the sun.

It didn't take long for Zhang's mother to make the rice balls. At this time, the sun was about to set, and Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in the yard, heard Zhang's mother calling him, ran to the kitchen door, and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Go and clean up the table, and you can eat in half an hour at most. Zhang's mother was cutting vegetables on the cutting board, and she didn't raise her head to tell Zhang Siyuan.

"Yes. When Zhang Siyuan heard Zhang's mother's words, he turned around and ran to the back room.

Half an hour later, with Zhang's mother shouting in the kitchen, it was time to eat. Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in the room watching TV, immediately ran to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, and Zhang's father saluted the Bodhisattva in the hall. Then he took out the firecrackers from the utility room, ran outside the yard, and started setting off firecrackers.

Father Zhang, who returned to the hall after the firecrackers, took out a bottle of wine from the bodhisattva cabinet in the hall and put it on the table of the eight immortals, and said: "Today, the Chinese New Year's Eve, my son has grown up, and his grades have come up, so we don't need to worry about it more, let's drink some wine today." ”

Zhang's mother did not object when she heard this, and after Zhang's father filled the small wine cups in front of everyone, Zhang's mother raised the wine glass in her hand: "I hope my son will get a good score in next year's college entrance examination and be admitted to a good university, cheers." ”

The three of them all took a small sip of wine, and after eating two bites of food, Zhang Siyuan raised the wine glass in front of him and said, "I hope that in the new year, Mom and Dad will be healthy and all the best." ”

Dad Zhang waited for Zhang Siyuan to finish speaking and then said: "I don't have anything to say, as long as you two can be well." After speaking, he raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all. Zhang Siyuan and Zhang's mother watched Zhang's father's movements, and did not hesitate, and then drank all the wine in the wine cup.

Looking at Zhang Siyuan's red face after drinking, Zhang's mother said with a slight reproach: "Look at you, don't be reckless if you can't drink." Grab a bite to eat and press the wine. As he spoke, he put the dishes in Zhang Siyuan's bowl, and Zhang Siyuan smirked twice when he heard this.

After eating, Zhang's father went out to play mahjong with a few friends, while Zhang's mother waited in the room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Zhang Siyuan, who didn't have much interest in TV, went back to his room and lay on the bed, bored looking at Jin Yong's novels bought by Zhang's father at home.

When he thought that there was so little entertainment content now, Zhang Siyuan's mind gradually remembered the history of the rise of a big man at the beginning, and he couldn't help jumping out of bed, and the development plan and funds of Times Company were settled.

PS: There may be many people who think that the two chapters are irrigating, but I think Zhang Siyuan is a filial son, and the warmth of the family needs to be written, so these two chapters are related to Zhang Siyuan's parents. As for the commercial issues, there will certainly be no less in the future. Thank you for your support, and thank you for the 100,000 coin reward from the big brothers, tomorrow. In addition, no more shameless collection and monthly passes, every vote of support from you is the greatest comfort to me, thank you.
