On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Yang woke up before 6 o'clock. It was also the first time he got out of bed in a long time.

The crackling sound of firecrackers outside continued, and a New Year's celebration did not stop since Chinese New Year's Eve.

After washing, Xu Yang opened his door and looked around, everywhere was covered by some red light.

In the New Year in the north, the weather is very cold, like Xu Yang's hometown in Guanzhong, often around minus 5 degrees to 10 degrees, and every year around the Spring Festival there will be more or less snow, this year Xu Yang went home but did not see snow, I don't know if there will be.

Xu Yang's hometown is in a village, which is some distance from the county seat, but the people in the village are now also fashionable and avant-garde, buying clothes, shopping, and eating will go to the county seat every once in a while, instead of only at the village or town gatherings as many years ago.

Each of the houses here is a Zhuangzi house left by the older generation decades ago, which belongs to an exclusive courtyard, and is separated from the neighbors by a wall.

This kind of housing layout also makes the population of the village not so large, not to mention the high-rise buildings in the modern city.

In the northern winter, the sky is relatively late, and at this time, the sky is still a little dark, and it is not completely bright.

On the left and right sides of Xu Yang's house and the row of people on the opposite side, there are flaming red lanterns hanging in the direction of the eaves at the door of the house, and the lanterns are all a pair, hanging above both sides of the gate, and on the walls on both sides of the gate, there are couplets containing blessings and wishes, and on the ground in front of the couplets, there are artillery battles that have turned into dust.

This piece of fiery red color reflects the hazy sky with red light, and the festive elements seem to be everywhere, which makes people's mood feel better.

......

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xu Yang's family had just eaten dumplings that represented customs, and guests came to the house.

said that it was a guest, but in fact, the person who came was Xu Yang's uncle, who was also Bai Guohua, the elder brother of Xu Yang's mother Bai Ying.

Yesterday, Xu Yang discussed with her mother and wanted to invite her family to a banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, so in the evening, her mother called them to inform them that she didn't need to bring anything over this year, and she had already bought vegetables.

Now that his mother's mobile phone and Xu Yang's sister Xu Wan'er's mobile phone have been replaced with new ones, looking at what his mother is chatting with on the other end of the phone, Xu Yang's heart is also very comfortable, perhaps, such a day is suitable for mothers, don't be so busy every day and ignore the friends and relatives around you.

Xu Yang's uncle Bai Guohua has two sons, both of whom are now married, one now lives in the city and the other in the county seat, while Bai Guohua himself lives in Xu Yang's town, and has opened a restaurant in the town, and his life is quite comfortable.

When Bai Guohua was just sitting on the sofa and preparing to drink tea, Bai Guohua's wife, her son, and daughter-in-law also came to Xu Yang's house.

The reason why Bai Guohua's wife didn't come with him was that she was waiting for her children at home, although Xu Yang's mother Bai Ying didn't let them bring things over, but how could they bring something for the Chinese New Year? Therefore, this time, they didn't bring vegetables, but brought some rice and oil, which are also some necessities of life, and in desperation, Bai Ying could only take it.

"Hello aunt"

"Hello cousin"

"Hello cousin"

As soon as they saw someone coming, Xu Yang and Xu Wan'er also greeted them.

"Ah Yang is good, I haven't seen him for a while, and he is a lot stronger. ”

"Wan'er is good, I haven't seen her for a few days, and she is getting more and more beautiful. ”

Relatives and friends like to say something to praise their family, so as soon as Xu Yang's voice fell, the voices of the people opposite also came.

While they were talking, Bai Ying's mother's family, who had been intermittent, also came over.

Villagers go to their relatives earlier during the Chinese New Year, and the better the relationship, the earlier they go, and often arrive at each other's homes from 9 to 11 o'clock in the morning.

And like Bai Yingniang's family, it is normal to be a guest at her own sister and sister's house, and come early.

......

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Xu Yang's house opened.

I know that Bai Ying's family has a lot of mother's family, so yesterday, Xu Yang borrowed two large round tables from the village secretary's house, the village secretary's house used to do red and white ceremonies, and there were quite a lot of tableware and other things for the banquet, but borrowing things was definitely not borrowed in vain, especially in the big year when these things were most needed, so according to the rent of 100 yuan a day, Xu Yang rented it smoothly.

Xu Yang's room only has the first two rooms and the upstairs one of Xu Yang's own bedrooms, and other than that, there is only a huge courtyard left.

Of course, the courtyard has become the best choice for banquets.

At one table of the banquet were Xu Yang's mother Bai Ying's parents and her siblings, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sisters-in-law, and the other table was their juniors.

Although Bai Ying's parents are almost 80 years old, they are very healthy and do not need to be supported by others to walk. Under the parents, there are four children, including Bai Ying, Bai Guohua is the eldest, Bai Ying is the second, Bai Guoqiang is the third, and Bai Jing is the eldest.

Among the four children, Bai Ying and Bai Jing have the best relationship.

Bai Ying's younger brother Bai Guoqiang is now the director of the Food Bureau in the city, and her sister Bai Jing, who has the best relationship with her, now has a clothing store, and her business is okay.

The people sitting at Xu Yang's table, in addition to him and his sister Xu Wan'er, also have his uncle's eldest son Bai Wei and his wife Zhang Man. Uncle's second son Bai Lei, his wife, Wang Juan. Brother-in-law's son Bai Feng and daughter Bai Jing. Auntie's son Liu Qian.

......

When Xu Yang and his sister Xu Wan'er brought out the cold dishes, hot dishes, vegetarian dishes, and meat dishes that their mother had made in the morning, Bai Ying's table was suddenly not calm, so many dishes? Just to buy vegetables, it costs hundreds, is it for a meal, this will not be the next days?

The first to hold back was Bai Ying's mother, she pulled Bai Ying, who had just sat down, frowned, and said, "Xiaoying, what's going on today? Don't you plan to pass your day? Yangyang is now graduating and working, you can ignore it, Wan'er is still in college, don't you care?"

Hearing her mother's words, Bai Ying didn't react for a while, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, what did you say?

Without seeing her woman's expression, Bai Ying's mother continued: "Then tell me why you are cooking so many dishes today?"

"Forehead ......"

That's what I asked!

Bai Ying suddenly, smiled, and said innocently: "Mom, you're wrong, this dish was bought by your precious grandson, it has nothing to do with me, I'm only responsible for cooking." ”

"Yang Yang bought it?"

Bai Ying's mother was stunned!

"Grandma, I bought it. ”

After listening to the words of his mother and grandmother, Xu Yang's face was full of black lines, when did his mother start to have a black belly, isn't this using herself as a shield?

However, the thing was done by himself, Xu Yang walked directly to his grandmother, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I have started to make money now, and the company leaders appreciate me very much. ”

As soon as Xu Yang's voice fell, before his grandmother could react, his grandfather on the side took the lead and said, "Yes, Yangyang, now I know how to be filial to my mother." ”

"That is, it doesn't matter whose child I am. ”

Grandfather's words made Xu Yang stinky and stunned.

After speaking, Xu Yang remembered that he had prepared a red envelope, so he ran upstairs directly, and when he came down, he found that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, scratching his head embarrassedly, Xu Yang walked to his grandmother, took out a red envelope printed with the word "Fu" with the "grandma" logo, and said: "Grandma, happy new year." ”

When her grandmother was surprised, Xu Yang directly put the red envelope in her hand, and after that, her grandfather, uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, and even her cousin, sister-in-law, cousin, and cousin's red envelopes were given to them one by one.

In the case of their stunned and concessions, Xu Yangcai explained: "This is the company's New Year's bonus, a total of more than 5,000, since it is a bonus, then, everyone is a family, everyone has a share." ”

Subsequently, under the comfort of Xu Yang's mother Bai Ying, one by one they slowly accepted the unexpected red envelope.

At the end of the show, everyone began to praise Xu Yang's filial piety and ability, and he and his mother Bai Ying taught such a good son.

Looking at their sincere blessings and his mother Bai Ying's sincere smile, Xu Yang felt that what he did today was worth it!
