The first day of the Lunar New Year.

In the sound of firecrackers one after another, the people of Gujia Village, who were immersed in the festival, were overjoyed.

The early risers all changed into beautiful new clothes and gathered together to eat fragrant dumplings in bowls.

This dumpling is usually wrapped before 12 o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is eaten in the middle of the night.

At that time, it was the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month, eating dumplings to take the meaning of "more years of Jiaozi", "Zi" is "Zishi", Jiao and "dumplings" homonym, with the meaning of "festive reunion" and "auspicious wishes".

Gu Changan, the old village chief, picked up a dumpling and bit it down, but his teeth were choked by the coins inside. He spit out a coin, and his son and daughter-in-law immediately congratulated him on the old man.

"Dad, you are really blessed! The first lucky dumpling was eaten by you, and you will definitely be blessed and healthy in the coming year!" The daughter-in-law complimented her husband, so obedient that she didn't want money to go out.

Originally, the custom here is generally to make dumplings during the New Year, when the housewife quietly puts a few coins in it, if the person who eats it will have good luck and prosperity in the new year, everything goes well, and it is also a symbol of good luck.

The old village chief smiled and accepted the blessings of his children and grandchildren. After eating a few more dumplings, he put down his chopsticks.

"Loyalty, how has your tractor transport company been doing in the past two days?" the old village chief asked his son.

Gu Zhongxin ate a big meat-stuffed dumpling, and replied to his father very happily: "Business is good! It's full every day for the past ten days, and there are a carload of people running back and forth all day long!"

"Hmm!" the old village chief stroked his beard, "'Three days after the festival', the big guys have bought all the things they should have bought, and they have also bought the things they should have, and the business will definitely not be so ...... after the New Year."

Before he could finish his opinion, he was interrupted by a person running outside: "Uncle Chang'an, hurry up and take a look!

"I'll it! I won't let people stop for the New Year! What kind of moths have this two come up with?" Gu Zhongxin pushed the bowl angrily and said unhappily.

"Dad, don't ask them, it's estimated that they're so busy that they're full! This family of two, since the girl left for three days, there was a fuss at both ends, I think it's purely idle and panicked!"

"That's it!'Poor tendons are hungry and noisy', look at that Peng Cheng Niang, when she was rich in those two days, her eyelids turned up, and she even walked with her head high! Later, the fish pond was defeated, and the people were more peaceful! Last time I heard that I went to the big city to see the girl with a mortal heart, I didn't want to scrape two dollars from the girl back!"

Gu Zhongxin's daughter-in-law also interjected disdainfully.

Gu Changan, the village head, stood up, took the cigarette pouch and pot, and waved his hand to the ventilation messenger who was waiting for him: "Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look!"

Alas, there is no way! In his position, he seeks his own government. Before there is no successor, he must fulfill the responsibility of the management of the head of this village.

Gu Zhongyi's family.

Xu Zhaodi sat on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, Gu Zhongyi pretended to say a few words, and then peeked at his mother's face.

Liu Lanzhi sat there with a pale face, so angry that her chest rose and fell violently.

Alas, it's all Niuniu's money!

It is said that on the day of the sacrificial stove, she was sighing at the gate of the courtyard, feeling lonely and lonely. Look at the house, the courtyard, where everything is not going well.

Another one was a little uncomfortable and vaguely disappointed.

The daughter-in-law gambled with her, no matter how she said it, she was not born by herself through a layer of skin, but her son was born by herself, and this time she also followed her daughter-in-law to sing and isolate herself.

Although the New Year is not a real New Year, can the family really celebrate the New Year twice?

Isn't this a joke? This old lady is still here, even if she is angry, after such a long time, that anger should be dissipated, right?

It stands to reason that the grandson's return is the best step, and the two of them can't wipe their face and are unwilling to bow their heads and submit to softness, so they can also let their grandson pass a message,......

That time, I was pushed by my daughter-in-law and fell, and I fell on the threshold stone and my old waist was about to break! I put a monthly blood blood pain relief ointment! I would never remember her this revenge!

Alas, old, old! It is useless for sons and daughters-in-law!

Alas, what a sin! My son and daughter-in-law are all of my heart, and no one thinks of her, a useful old woman!

Liu Lanzhi, who was looking forward to it, put away the scissors melancholy and closed the courtyard door.

Unexpectedly, she had just entered the house when she heard a knock at the gate of the courtyard.

Who is coming to the door at this time? Is it a son?

With excitement and anticipation, she ran to the door and opened it in a few steps.

"Happy New Year to Grandma Gu!" As soon as the door opened, a postman pushing a bicycle greeted her politely.

"Oh! It turned out to be Xiao Chen! Happy New Year!" Liu Lanzhi hid the loss in her heart, "It's cold outside, come in and sit!"

"Grandma Gu, this is your package, please sign this list. “

Liu Lanzhi looked at the bulging package in front of her, needless to say, this must have been sent back by Niuniu!

Xiao Chen helped her take the package to the house and put it down, and took out another letter.

When Xiao Chen read the letter to her, Liu Lanzhi learned that Niuniu was taken to Professor Lin's house by her wife for the New Year, and said that they were very good to her, so that grandma should not worry.

In addition, she bought cotton clothes and warm shoes for her grandmother for the winter, as well as 200 yuan for living expenses.

"Grandma, don't be reluctant to eat, you must take good care of your body, take care of yourself well, don't be reluctant to spend money, the money is gone, Niuniu will earn money again, Niuniu will always earn money to maintain grandma's ......"

When Liu Lanzhi heard this, she choked back a bag of tears, this stupid child! If you are not familiar with life outside, can it be so easy to make money!?

"Grandma Gu, you sign here, and I'll go back!" Xiao Chen finished reading the letter and prepared to leave.

"As always, you should sign it for me, or I should press my handprint?"

"Okay, here. Xiao Chen pointed patiently.

'Sign' the word, Liu Lanzhi asked Xiao Chen to sit down for a while and rest before going down the mountain.

Xiao Chen declined. There's a lot more to give!

Unexpectedly, not long after the postman left, her son came to the door!

Liu Lanzhi didn't say anything, but her heart was hot. Look, it's still your own son in the end!

When they got home, they were both respectful to her. made her feel like an old lady who was in charge.

The grandson also made love to her, and the "grandma" long "grandma" called short.

Let Liu Lanzhi be satisfied. A family of four is harmonious and beautiful, laughing and laughing, which is really like a family reunion.

The only disadvantage is that Niuniu would be better at home!If the two of them see that Niuniu is so capable now, they will definitely have a good face for Niuniu, right!?

When they were making dumplings, the grandson came over to watch his grandmother make dumplings with interest, and asked about the origin of the dumplings.

"Legend has it that when Nuwa Niangniang kneaded the soil to cause people, because the weather was cold, the ears of the loess people were easy to freeze off, in order to keep the ears from falling off, Nuwa Niangniang pierced a small eye on the ears of the people, tied the ears with a thin thread, and the other end of the thread was put in the mouth of the loess people and bitten, so that the ears were done. ”

Liu Lanzhi told this story with a vivid voice. This story Niu Niu likes to listen to the most!

"Later, in order to commemorate the merits of Nuwa Niangniang, our common people wrapped dumplings, pinched the shape of human ears with noodles, filled bread (thread), and ate them with their mouths. It's been passed down from generation to generation!"

Liu Lanzhi spent a week in harmony at her son and daughter-in-law's house, but she didn't expect it to make a fuss after the New Year!

The reason is that after eating on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he gave his grandson ten yuan to press the New Year's money, but I didn't expect several people to change their faces when they saw the money!
