Volume 1: Officialdom Chapter 13: Chinese New Year

For the northerners, after the wax moon is the new year, that is, into the wax month in every household began to prepare for the New Year's goods, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has gradually risen, at this time it is not forbidden to set off fireworks, so the Spring Festival is very tasteful.

This year is a happy year for the He family, the eldest has found a partner in the capital, and it is a family on the edge of the capital, although the second child has no great achievements, but he also makes a lot of money by working outside, and the third child shows his face to the old couple and becomes a member of the system.

In the past six months since He Zhiwei came back, the He family feels that their status in the village has improved a lot, after all, the child's competitiveness is stronger than anything else, and now the people in the village have seen a lot of them stretching out their thumbs and saying, "You really have the ability to train two college students." ”

The family also pressed the phone, and the furniture and household appliances also bought a few new things, and the newly bought large color TV, washing machine, refrigerator, these are still rare things in the countryside, and the father and the two of them will definitely not buy it.

But these things were bought by He Zhiwei and sent them directly to the house, and He Zhiwei's father and He Zhiwei said to him, "There is nothing missing at home, don't spend money indiscriminately." ”

But my heart is still beautiful, especially when He Mu was too depressed a few years ago, almost all of them were depressed, and now she has a little more smile on her face, and she has the confidence to speak.

Today, Father He went to the township early to wait, the second child will not come back until the end of the year, the eldest and the third child called back and said that they will come back today, and Mother He felt that it was indeed much more convenient to have a call.

This winter is particularly cold, and there is already a thick layer of snow at home, so the bus goes very slowly, and when I arrive in the township, it is close to noon, and when I get off the train, I see my father moving back and forth next to the station.

Even so, his face was frozen, He Zhiwei and the two hurriedly got out of the car, carried a lot of New Year's goods in large bags and small bags, and ran to He Zhi's father.

The eldest brother ran in a hurry and almost fell, "Dad, we're back," He Zhijing said.

Father He saw the two of them at this time, and hurriedly went to pick up the luggage, He Zhiwei's money was almost spent, but the eldest brother had raised tens of thousands of yuan for his own moonlight, so when he had money in his pocket, he naturally bought a lot of New Year's specialties or something.

Got on a motorcycle, went to the village, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and there were gradually people when I entered the village.

"Lao He, have you gone to pick up your son? This big bag and small bag have earned money, unlike the kid in our family, who still asks for money from home every day. ”

"Let's go home for dinner in a while, it's lively", Father He invited.

Naturally, the people in the village refused, and it was definitely not appropriate to go over to eat at this time. When he saw the people in the village along the way, Father He stopped the car and said a few words to everyone. Don't mention the joy of hearing everyone's praise.

Light village such a short road, walked for half an hour, just arrived at the door of the smell of a smell of vegetables, do not need to think to know that He Mu is at home to gather food, heard outside there is movement out of the look and said, "So just come, hurry into the house." ”

Entering the house, He Zhiwei and the two of them were also rumbling with hunger, although they are rich now, but the habits they have developed over the years still let the two of them know what saving is, and basically eat dry food on the road.

"Go and call your grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt to come over for dinner," said Mother He.

Seeing that Father He was going over, He Zhiwei said: "Dad, you can warm up at home, I'll just go over." ”

Uncle's house is in the front of the alley, but a few steps away, called the uncle's family to come over for dinner, it is now more than twelve o'clock, naturally they have eaten, but I heard that He Zhiwei and the two brothers came over, so they came over to talk.

A large family sat at a full table, although the meal was eaten, but the wine still had to be drunk, He Zhiwei said, "Try the Moutai I brought, which is usually drunk by cadres, and we also enjoy the treatment of cadres." ”

When He Zhiwei came back this time, he bought a box of Moutai, and the amount of alcohol in the family was relatively shallow, so he opened a bottle.

"Ah Wei is really out of luck, our old He family, you are the first to enter the system. Grandpa said, and his face was also bright.

"You don't know yet, my eldest brother is terrible now, this moonshine bonus is forty or fifty thousand", He Zhiwei naturally can't let everyone praise himself, and also pull his eldest brother into the water.

"Hey, how much, forty or fifty thousand, my God", everyone in the family was moved, at this time, a family couldn't save 10,000 yuan a year, and everyone had a bonus of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan this month.

"Zhijing is very quiet, it won't be long before he becomes a millionaire. Auntie said.

He Zhijing wanted to say that Ah Wei was already a millionaire, but he had already explained on the road, don't expose his wealth, even if he did, he could only tell his parents, so He Zhijing could only enjoy everyone's envious gaze.

Just chatting and drinking like this, the people of the He family drink averagely, four or five people drink a bottle except for He Zhiwei, everyone else is drunk, He Zhiwei's alcohol consumption is also shallow, but after years of experience, it is a bit of alcohol, and the amount of alcohol since rebirth is even better.

After eating, everyone went to take a nap, He Zhiwei and the two of them were also a little tired after taking the train all the way, and they went to bed and fell asleep, and when they woke up, it was five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already a little dark.

Laba sacrifice stove, the Spring Festival is coming, Xiao Ni wants flowers, and children want cannons.

This is a common saying, but also the prelude to the New Year, according to the custom Laba this day is to drink Laba porridge, the day of the sacrificial stove, only when people are together can eat the sacrificial stove sugar, the sacrificial stove was originally a sacrificial stove god.

Although the god of the stove is not a great god, it is indeed the most important idol for the family, and the statue of the god of the stove will generally say "God says good things, and the lower world keeps peace." ”

According to myths and legends, the god of the stove generally returns to heaven to report on his work after the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which is why it is said that "God says good things".

After the debriefing, he returned to the mortal world so that everyone could have something to eat, which was also a good implication.

In fact, many traditional cultures in our country have gradually faded, and the young people of this generation still know some of them, but most of the people of the next generation do not know these rules and gods.

Slowly foreign superheroes replaced the gods of our country, this situation belongs to the invasion of culture in He Zhiwei's view, but I don't know why the country has no mistakes at all, and who will know the traditional culture in China in more than ten years?

In fact, as an ordinary person, my country's films are not without foundation, the golden age of Xiangjiang films, the whole of Southeast Asia is our market, and my country's films once won awards abroad, but why did they gradually decline later?

The fundamental factor is still the problem of the domestic system, the censorship system has led to the fact that good works cannot pass the review, which has led to more and more directors not shooting this type of work, because if they do not pass the review, there is no way to return the cost if they cannot be released, and investors will not do this kind of thing.

As for why this happens, He Zhiwei guesses that there may still be some people who want to implement the policy of ignoring the people, which can also explain why so many divine dramas can be played, and it is very difficult for good works to pass the review.

Of course, these are just speculations, and it's really hard to say how.

And the good news is that on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the second sister finally rushed back, He Zhiwei and the two were going to pick it up, but He Zhiwei insisted on picking it up, and He Zhiwei and the two did not force it, after all, the girl is her father's little padded jacket.

The family finally gathered, and at night they sacrificed to the stove together, and ate the sacrificial stove sugar, the sacrificial stove sugar is very sweet, and it is very sticky to the teeth, according to the legend, it is to let the stove god eat the sacrificial stove sugar, and the sky will not say that the common people are not.

He Zhiwei and the three of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and after talking together for a while, He Zhiwei persuaded: "Sister, let's go to the capital with my eldest brother next year, it's not a matter to work in the factory all the time, and the capital will have better development." ”

"I'm different from you, I don't have a degree, what can I do in the capital?" He Zhiyu said.

"In the capital, it is better to learn a craft or start a small business than to work in a factory, which is a job that can be seen for a lifetime in one day. He Zhiwei continued to persuade.

"Xiaoyu, return to the capital, now the third child has bought a house in the capital, and I also have a care for anything in the capital, and after two years of stability, I will take our parents over." He Zhijing said.

"What, bought a house?" He Zhijing didn't know about the situation at home because he didn't have a mobile phone yet.

He Zhijing explained the situation to the second sister, and He Zhiyu knew that his eldest brother and younger brother were really present, and he also had some interest in He Zhiwei's opinion.

He Zhiwei and the two naturally struck while the iron was hot, and in the end, He Zhiyu agreed to go to the capital to break through, and the most unfortunate thing was not to worry.

"Twenty-four sweeps the house";

"Twenty-five buy tofu";

It wasn't until the thirty reunion dinner that this year was the most lively, although the He family only had two brothers, but there were many children in the family, three sisters in He Zhiwei's family, three children in the uncle's family, a daughter is the boss, and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

At the reunion dinner, He Zhiwei said: "Mom and Dad, our family is here today, I want to announce one thing to everyone, I have bought a house in the capital, and I can live in the capital when I have nothing to do in the future." ”

"In the other two years, when the eldest brother and second sister are stable, the land at home will not be planted, and you will be taken to the capital to enjoy happiness in the future. ”

This news is naturally earth-shattering, for the He family to buy a house in the capital, this is a big deal, so they asked, "The house in the capital is precious, how much does it cost?"

"The house I live in now is in the second ring road, 140 square meters, almost 5,000 yuan per square meter, the total price is 700,000 yuan, I paid a down payment of 200,000 yuan, and the remaining part is paid in installments. ”

"How much? 200,000 for a down payment?"

"Seven hundred thousand, my God, where did you get the money?"

"Everyone doesn't know that the third child is not only a teacher now, he is also a best-selling author, and now he has written two books and sold millions of copies, which is naturally the income from manuscript fees. The eldest brother explained.

Father and mother He were also a little dizzy for a while, I don't know if they were drunk or shocked, but they just knew that the kid in the family was really promising.

After eating a meal for more than two hours, the atmosphere was also very high, and when the uncle's family left, he took He Zhiwei's hand and said that he would take care of a few children in their family in the future, and He Zhiwei naturally agreed.

Although the relationship between his uncle's family and his parents is a little awkward, he is not bad to He Zhiwei, and there is a good saying, one generation does not care about the affairs of the other generation, if he can do what he can, He Zhiwei is still very willing to help.
