This year, the Li family's New Year is no longer deserted.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, a family of 3 (+1) people watched the Spring Festival Gala on the TV, which was very boring.

This Chinese New Year is different, grandparents and aunts have come over.

Grandparents are typical of the older generation, the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, guarding one acre and three points at home and working hard for a lifetime, and the number of times in the spring city is countable.

As for the aunt, she is single and not noble, she may have been heartbroken by the failed marriage in the previous period, and she will never marry again after the divorce, but her boyfriend is very diligent, but the quality is obviously uneven.

In the past, my aunt used to go to my grandparents' house for the Chinese New Year, but this year I came with my grandparents.

The elder brother and sister of the aunt's family came two days before the Chinese New Year, and Li Fan's cousin and cousin are interesting, the cousin is particularly beary, and the cousin is particularly spicy.

My cousin is not only a bear but also stupid, always looks simple, and looks unsightly, and the family has been worried that he can't find a partner (and indeed he has never been able to find it), but this year there is a turnaround, and a woman has fallen in love with him.

This woman is quite beautiful, but she is a little older, not much older, just one round.

At first, the aunt didn't agree, the son was only 23, and the woman was 35, which was too much.

My cousin said the shrewdest words of his life: "Mom, I think that if someone takes a fancy to me, our family has to burn high incense." ”

In addition to being older, this woman is very good in other aspects, she has a computer counter in the science and technology city, she looks very young, she is full of the taste of a light mature woman, she has a house and a car and many excellent suitors, a typical older golden leftover girl.

But she just fell in love with her cousin, and she could only say that only the ape knew about ape dung (fate)!

When the light mature woman came to Li Fan's house, she was very busy, and her grandparents were very satisfied, and then calculated in their hearts:

Female freshman, hugging golden rooster, female sophomore, golden jar, female junior, hugging gold brick...... Female college nine, everything, female college ten, all values. (ENDS)

But what about the twelve?

As for the cousin, the guy ......

Tattoos, all kinds of tattoos, and very fashionable nose studs, umbilical nails...... Every time Li Fan saw her, he was scared half to death, it was too social.

My cousin looks quite good, but marriage is a big problem, which young man dares to marry.

She's been getting a tattoo recently, and she's over the age of wild, and she's going to get married.

On this day, my cousin came to the door with a gift, and after she took off her down jacket, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

Li Fan grabbed his cousin's arm and asked, "Cousin, have you washed your tattoo?"

"I regret that I didn't do it at the beginning, I was still too young at the time. ”

Li Fan frowned: "If you can't wash it, it's best not to wash it." ”

"The plastic surgery hospital I went to was a Korean doctor, and it was very good. ”

"The specialized hospital is too dark, and it's better to go to a tertiary hospital. ”

The family continued to deeply educate my cousin about tattoos, my cousin had a headache, who hasn't had a rebellious time.

Li Fan pouted: "You are too rebellious, if you are a little rose or something, it will be very good-looking, you have too much writing, I can't accept it at first sight." ”

"Don't talk about me, don't talk about me, I'm just a little wild, and I haven't done anything bad, the next topic, what about Tingting, when will you pick up Tingting?"

It's over, and here comes the next wave of topics.

Grandpa: "I came to the house for the New Year this year, just to see Tingting, otherwise how comfortable it would be for us to lie on the hot kang and watch TV!"

Grandma tapped her left leg, which was no longer obedient, "It's easy for us to come all the way." ”

Li Fan corrected: "It's not a thousand miles, 100 miles." I still have the old opinion, I shouldn't take it, the Gu family is just a daughter, and she snatched it from her parents during the New Year, and his parents must be empty.

Li's mother: "Your child won't come to trouble, just because of the Chinese New Year, you don't take other people's children to the family for the New Year, and people don't pick gifts?"

Dad Li: "I agree with what your mother said!"

Li Fan wiped his forehead: "Dad, why haven't you agreed?"

Jelly: "I agree with Mom too!"

Li Fan waved his hand: "The little kid has no right to speak. ”

Auntie: "You see that you are such a young man who is in love now, don't you all have to come to each other's doors during the New Year, it doesn't matter if you haven't met before at home, if you don't come to the door, you won't come to the door."

But our family and the Gu family are so familiar, you can't say that you don't take other people's daughters to come for the New Year!"

Jelly: "yes, I can't say that. ”

"Do you know what we're talking about?"

Jelly said with big black eyes: "Call my sister-in-law to play together!"

Li Fan explained to everyone: "Gu Yating and I have talked about it before, before we got married, we didn't come to the door on the New Year's Day, we stayed at home with our parents, and we came to each other's doors in the second and third years of junior high school."

Why is that? I don't want you to feel the loneliness of empty nesters in advance. ”

My cousin crossed her waist: "It's useless to say this, go and invite me immediately." ”

"Threaten me? Tattoo is great? We've all talked about it, and we're not going to come for the New Year. ”

Auntie: "Have you talked about it?"

Li's mother: "Yes, do I agree?"

Dad Li: "Did your mother agree?"

……

Li Fan was surrounded and suppressed by the whole family, and he was also speechless.

In essence, love and marriage should be a matter between two people, but in the Chinese social form, this is directly related to the families of both parties.

It's okay to be in love, but talking about marriage will directly rise to the game between the two families.

Li Fan finally reiterated: "We really talked about it, don't force me, you can see her on the first and second days of junior high school, I will pick her up on the first day of junior high school, and let the family accompany their parents at home for the New Year." ”

"Silly boy, can the first day of the new year and the Chinese New Year's Eve be the same concept?"

"I'm ready for this red envelope, but I won't have it on the first day of junior high school. ”

"Brother, you don't have the strength, please don't come to someone's house!"

……

Li Fan scratched his head: "Actually, you are too enthusiastic, you have to give us young people space." ”

Li's mother: "Don't talk nonsense, go pick it up!"

Dad Li: "Go pick it up!"

Grandpa: "Right away!"

Sister-in-law-to-be: "I think I should pick it up!"

Jelly pouted: "Go pick it up!"

"Why are you again?" Li Fan picked up the jelly and stuffed it into the bedroom, "Don't get involved in adult affairs, I think you should still memorize Tang poems, and work hard every day." ”

Facing the indisputable eyes of everyone in the bedroom, Li Fan confessed.

"Okay, I'll give her a call. ”

The cousin said: "It's not a discussion, it's a must, it's a must!"

Li Fan glanced at her, "I'm afraid you'll scare her." ”

The phone went through.

Li Fan: "Xiaoting, tell me something." ”

The other end of the phone said, "I'll say something too!"

Li Fan: "I'll say it first." ”

In the living room of the Gu family, Gu Yating looked at the eager eyes of the relatives on the sofa and said, "No, I'll say it first!"

Li Fan's sixth sense was online, and he pushed the other by himself, and he had a hunch that maybe his mother-in-law also wanted to let him come to the door for the New Year.

If this is the case, it will not be easy to do, and both families are eager to let future family members come to the door for the New Year, but whose house will they go to?

In this case, whoever speaks first takes the absolute initiative, and it is difficult to be enthusiastic!

Li Fan: "The situation has changed somewhat, you listen to me first." ”

Gu Yating: "The situation on my side has also changed a little, don't worry, I'll say it first." ”

Jelly's little head suddenly popped up again, and she said to the phone in a milky voice: "Sister-in-law will come to the house tomorrow for the New Year!"

Gu Yating on the other end of the phone was stunned, she was going to finish!

Li Fan lowered his head and was shocked, his heart was doing a good job! He hurriedly covered the radio hole of his mobile phone and said in a low voice: "Jelly-"

He had just called out his sister's name, but when he saw Jelly, he suddenly said, "Brother, I was wrong, I won't get involved!"

Hurriedly covering his mouth with both hands, Jelly turned around and was about to run towards the bedroom.

"Come back," Li Fan hugged the jelly and put the mobile phone earpiece to her ear, "Go on, quickly." ”

Jelly was dizzy: "What are you talking about?"

Li Fan lip-synched: "Let her come." ”

"Sister-in-law, you're here for the New Year. ”

Gu Yating: "Ah!"

"There are so many people in the family, grandparents are here!"

"Grandpa and grandma are here too, grandpa is good, grandma is so ......"

Gu Yating was defeated, first by Jelly's preemption, and then by a phone call from her grandparents.

She put down the phone and looked at the family members helplessly: "You also saw it, I didn't call Xiao Li here, but I got in." ”

"Eh, we came from Shanghai for the Chinese New Year, just to see Li Fan, eh!"

"Tingting, you still said that you have strength, what about strength?"

Gu Yating is embarrassed, who knows that she will bite the gold halfway!

……

The next morning, Li Fan drove Gu Yating home, and the whole family got together to play cards and chat, and this year was finally not as lonely as in previous years.

When night fell, after the family wrapped the dumplings, they stayed next to the TV and chatted while preparing to watch the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone knows that the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more boring, but there are no extra programs!

The extra program is brought by Little Jelly, and it's time for the elders to give the red envelope, this red envelope is not something that can be obtained casually, and it is obviously not enough to kowtow.

In the living room, families sit on sofas and chairs, holding bright red envelopes in their hands, ready to give rewards.

Jelly kowtowed to his grandfather three times, "I wish grandpa a smile and live 99!" Jelly got up and went to his grandfather's side to ask for a red envelope.

"Thank you, eldest granddaughter, for performing a show for grandpa, and I'll give you a red envelope!"

Jelly scratched her head: "Show?"

Li's mother: "Recite Tang poems to grandpa!"

Jelly patted his chest and said, "I will,

Silent Night Thoughts

Looking at the moonlight in front of the window, it is suspected that it is frost on the ground.

Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown!"

Li's mother frightened: "I made a mistake in my back, and the red envelope is gone!"

Jelly wondered: "What's wrong?"

"What moonlight in front of the window?"

"Look!"

"Isn't it 'moonlight in front of the window'?"

Jelly suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, the red envelope is really gone?

"Don't be afraid, grandpa!" said grandpa, and the red envelope was stuffed into Jelly's hand.

Li Fan said: "The jelly back is also right, there are as many as 69 versions of "Silent Night Thoughts" that have been circulated through the ages, and jelly is one of them.

At present, there are two versions that are more recognized, one is the version of the Ming Dynasty and the other is the Song Dynasty version.

What we all know is the Ming Dynasty version, the Song Dynasty version and the Ming Dynasty version have two differences, the Song Dynasty version is:

[look] the moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground.

Raise your head to look at the [mountain] moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown.

There is also a version of "looking up at the mountains and moons". ”

Everyone looked at Li Fan, didn't pay attention to him, and said, "Jelly, continue to perform the show." ”

Next, Jelly performed various talents, such as somersaults, handstands, and zama steps......

In bursts of laughter, everyone looked at Li Fan.

Li Fan shook his head violently, he really didn't teach it himself!

Dad Li silently looked out the window into the distance......

Jelly is very happy tonight, bouncing around with a stack of red envelopes in her hand, this is the first time she has received a red envelope after she has fully formed a sense of self, she was only 2 and a half years old when she received the red envelope last year, and she has no memory for a long time.

She may not have realized that she was going to encounter a major crisis, and this red envelope would soon be confiscated by Li's mother, but she didn't know what lies to use.

Li Fan was very curious about this, when he lied to himself, he said that he kept it for himself to marry his daughter-in-law, how could he deceive the jelly, did he keep it as a dowry?

I was too innocent at the beginning, and I believed it to be true like other children, and it was also magical, what is the use of a daughter-in-law at that age? !

The custom of eating dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve, like many other regions, used to be eaten at nearly 12 o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, but in recent years, it has become earlier and earlier, and now, some families eat at eight or nine o'clock, and when people are hungry and when they eat, there are rules that are not talked about much for a long time.

After eating dumplings at 10 o'clock, the family went out to walk around the community.

Everywhere is brightly lit, and some homes also hang red lanterns, but there is no hustle and bustle in the community, and it is not very different from the old days.

Gu Yating carefully stroked her grandmother, and her grandmother held her hand and said, "Tingting, if Xiaofan bullies you in the future, don't worry, there is a grandmother, tell grandma, grandma will clean him up." ”

Gu Yating raised her eyebrows at Li Fan, Shang Fang's sword was in hand!

But Li Fan didn't hear or see it......

From time to time, everyone looked up at the night sky, but the night sky was calm and peaceful, and a few stars could be faintly seen, but there was no trace of ceremonial flowers soaring into the sky.

Grandpa said: "The New Year in this city is really not as interesting as our countryside, our countryside is full of fireworks and rumbling firecrackers at this time." ”

Grandma said: "The old Zhao family celebrates the New Year, and I heard that I bought more than 5,000 yuan of firecrackers this year, and this time it is lively." ”

Grandpa disdainful: "Extravagant and wasteful, how much money do you make a year in total?"

During the Spring Festival in Chuncheng, the "fireworks-free city" has been strictly implemented in recent years, and fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited during the New Year within the fourth ring road, and the urban area can not even smell the slightest smell of fireworks.

The goal of "no waste, no pollution, no fire" has indeed been achieved, but the New Year's flavor has basically disappeared without firecrackers.

With the economic take-off and the improvement of people's livelihood, the freshness and happiness of wearing new clothes and eating big meals for the New Year have long been gone, and the only taste of the New Year is that the long-separated family members can get together and experience the warmth of home.

Grandpa was full of emotion: "You said that in the past, we guarded the TV during the Spring Festival, and I looked forward to Lao Zhao's sketches, as soon as the sketches arrived, the mahjong players stopped playing, and the firecrackers were not put outside, and they all laughed in front of the TV."

As soon as the sketch ended, firecrackers rang out outside the house, and Lao Zhao's sketch was also our annual meal. ”

Auntie: "Lao Zhao was a real fire in those years, old to ninety-nine, young enough to just go, national leaders may not know, but no one knows Lao Zhao." ”

The cousin asked, "Xiaofan, when will you become a must-see meal for everyone at the Spring Festival Gala?"

Li Fan looked at her, "When you can get married!"

The cousin pinched his ear and said, "If you don't choke, I can die?!"

"Sister, sister, it hurts! I'll introduce you to someone and promise to let you marry as soon as possible. ”

"Who?"

"I have a friend named Wang Yongfa......"

It's Wang Yongfa again!

This Wang Yongfa is his master, his friend, and the grandson of his second uncle......

As long as Li Fan needs it, "it" can even be male or female, bent or straight.
