Ao Muyang originally wanted the couple to live in a small building, but Wang Xia refused, she thought that it was unlucky for her to live in his new house during the Chinese New Year just after surgery, and she wanted to go to the old house to live when she learned that he had an old mansion empty.

Zhong Cang didn't want to take his wife to trouble Ao Muyang, and was also willing to live in the old mansion.

As for the dust in the old mansion that has not been inhabited for two months, he has cleaned it up by dividing it by two.

Since this is the case, Ao Muyang no longer insisted, mainly because he couldn't beat Wang Xia, this woman is very similar to Song Qiumin, and under her gentle appearance is a strong character.

According to custom, in the afternoon, I went to the ancestral grave to pay tribute to the ancestors.

Ao Muyang went to his parents' grave and set off firecrackers, and after returning home, he officially started the New Year.

At the door, he met Ao Fugui, and Ao Fugui said: "Sheep, you really can't come to eat tonight?

This ancestral soup is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Ao Muyang waved his hand and said: "I have prepared a meal at home, and there are many people on my side tonight, and it is quite lively." ”

Ao Zhibing, Zhong Cang and his wife, this is much more lively than usual.

In particular, there are hairy children such as generals, heads of state, queens and overlord flowers, and they can also add a lot of fun to the building by playing together.

The streets were filled with the sound of deception, and some children changed into new clothes and played around the streets.

Some children sang while setting off firecrackers: "The New Year is coming, it's so lively, Xiao Yilang has new shoes, Xiao Niang has new flowers, Ah Mao Niang comes to fry Japanese beans, and Ngawang Ostrich comes to pick rice cakes ......"

Hearing this familiar nursery rhyme and smelling the thick smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, the atmosphere of the New Year suddenly came.

This made Ao Muyang feel very comfortable, it was really a right choice to go back to his hometown, the taste of the New Year in his hometown was much stronger than in the capital, and this was the New Year in his memory.

The four of them watched the Spring Festival Gala drinking and eating together, Ao Muyang and Zhong Cang chatted occasionally, most of the time they were teasing the general's hairy children, the general and the head of state were smart, making the four of them laugh constantly.

Chinese New Year's Eve passed, and eating rice cakes and dumplings on the first day of the new year was high every year.

In addition, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household in the fishing village wants to pay New Year's greetings.

Ao Muyang has few families to leave, he has no relatives at home, and the uncle's family did not come back directly for the New Year, so there are fewer elders for him to pay New Year's greetings, and even fewer people to pay New Year's greetings to his family.

He made dumplings slowly, and the dumplings had to be freshly wrapped to be delicious, but because the people in the village paid attention to some customs, they would wrap them one night in advance.

Ao Muyang doesn't care about these customs, he also has time on the morning of the first day of the new year, so he eats it now.

The dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year are very particular, some places put steel hammers into them, named 'ingots', you can't say to eat dumplings in the morning, you have to say to eat ingots.

The surrounding area of Qiantan Town is not rolled into a circle when the dumplings are rolled out, but fan-shaped, so that the dumplings can be pinched into an ingot-shaped, also called 'eating ingots', which means that the New Year attracts wealth and wealth.

As a result, he had just wrapped the dumplings and put them in the pot, and Ao Daodao brought his son over to greet him for the New Year.

"Dragon, good New Year, good New Year, make a fortune. Ao Daodao took the initiative with his son and the brothers at home enthusiastically said.

This was beyond Ao Muyang's expectations, the two are not directly related, and it stands to reason that Ao Daodao does not have to come over to pay New Year's greetings.

But it's better to come, Ao Muyang brought out the snacks and cigarettes together, and then poured tea for everyone one by one: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year, we will all make a fortune this year." ”

As soon as this wave of people sat down, Ao Mudong, Ao Mupeng and others came again, and they said the same thing when they entered the door: "Longtou, Happy New Year, I wish you all the best this year and all the best!"

"I wish the dragon head to solve the lifelong major event this year and find us a dragon sister-in-law. ”

Ao Muyang smiled: "I'm still young, I'm busy with my career first, come and come, sit down and drink tea together." ”

Seeing that someone was coming again, Ao Daodao and his entourage left first, Ao Muyang sent them out, and then Ao Qianwen and others came again.

It stands to reason that these people are higher than him, and he should take the initiative to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, but these elders came, which made Ao Muyang very embarrassed.

Ao Qianwen and others were also embarrassed, their intention to come to pay New Year's greetings was very clear, that is, to brush their sense of existence, in order to gain Ao Muyang's favor.

No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, which is not wrong at all.

In order to cover up the problem of face, they all let the children walk in front, theoretically to bring the children to Ao Muyang to pay New Year's greetings, so that they will look good on face.

In contrast, the village chief Ao Muzhi's doorstep is much more deserted.

Ao Muzhi's son Ao Qianxi, who works in the city, was very puzzled and said, "Dad, why did you come to pay us so few New Year's greetings this year? This is wrong, I'll go out and take a look." ”

"Let's go out and see. Ao Muzhi said.

He went out with a gloomy face, and saw that many people were walking in the direction of Ao Muyang's house, and immediately understood what was going on, and kicked the door directly in anger: "It's all a damn white-eyed wolf - ouch, it hurts me to death!"

His house had an old-fashioned wooden door with iron nails on the threshold, and the nails were exposed, but he didn't see it clearly, and kicked it and punctured his shoes.

Hearing him shouting, the villagers passing by the door said, "Village Chief, Happy New Year, what's wrong with you?"

Ao Qianxi said angrily: "What a fart, didn't you see my dad's foot pierced with nails and bleeding?"

Ao Muzhi said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of bleeding? This is called joy, go out and see joy!"

The people in the village pouted, turned their heads and left, what kind of stinky temper, who to show the New Year's face? I went to Ao Muyang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I heard that Ao Muyang's house has good cigarettes and tea.

There is an endless stream of people who pay New Year's greetings to Ao Muyang, and there are more children.

He is not short of money, and there happens to be red envelopes at home, so he prepares some red envelopes and gives one to a child.

In this way, after the children learned about it, regardless of whether they were related or not, they all ran to him to greet the New Year:

"Happy New Year Uncle Yang, I wish you good health and a great fortune in the New Year. ”

"Happy New Year, brother, I have come to you to greet the New Year, I wish my brother a smooth sailing to sea this year, a smooth sailing in his feelings, and a smooth sailing career!"

"Happy New Year, uncle, I'll bring my brother to you to greet the New Year. ”

Ao Muyang smiled and gave the children red envelopes, and when they got the red envelopes, the children were happy to grin.

He also had to prepare red envelopes, which were for the carp lantern team.

In some places, the dragon and lion dances are danced during the New Year, and the tradition of Hongyang is to dance carp lanterns, and the lantern team goes out in the dark early in the morning, walks the streets and houses, and goes from village to village to play lanterns and sell lanterns.

Carp has auspicious meanings in local cultures, such as carp jumping over the dragon gate, lying on ice and begging for carp, etc., so buying carp lanterns has the meaning of praying for blessings.

In addition, the members of the carp lantern dance team are often the five guarantee households in each village, they usually have little income, and they will tie carp lanterns before the Chinese New Year, and then go door to door to sell them in the New Year, and the money earned is the money for future life.

So most people will not be stingy at this time, after all, the price of carp lamps is not expensive, a lamp is only ten yuan, and it can be hung at the door for several days.
