At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in the village began to put up the door gods and couplets, and the brothers tore up last year's couplets and door gods, and then pasted new ones.

When the people in the village sweep the streets and sprinkle water in the Chinese New Year's Eve, when they caught up with the special period of the "Ten Years", people who were divided into "landlords, rich peasants" and other elements or classes would ask to come out and sweep the streets of the whole village.

The cement poured pavement is cleaned very cleanly, just sprinkle a little water without dust, sprinkle too much and it is easy to freeze and fall, and other alleys are relatively more sprinkled.

Now that people live well, they don't pile up corn stalks in the streets, they are stacked a lot of them for cooking, and there are often fires during the New Year, and there may be a reason for sprinkling water in it.

After cleaning the street, start to clean up the yard, the yard is not allowed to be cleaned before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, now try to clean up as much as possible, and then connect the water pipe and start sprinkling.

At the beginning, the children were still playing in the house, and after a while, they all ran to the door to watch the two of them clean the yard, and the four children stood in a row at the door of the house, and the old brother looked at it and smiled.

Just when my sister-in-law entered the courtyard from outside, she casually asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The elder brother turned around and gestured to the door, only to find that the four children were standing at the door, smiling and watching Chen Shu and Chen Qiang work.

"Hurry up into the house, don't stand at the door anymore, be careful to prick you with needles when it's frozen!" Hu Jingxuan said, and the four children immediately turned around and ran into the room.

Mom was making noodles in the house, Wang Zilan was adjusting the dumpling filling, just now Hu Jingxuan went to the small shop to buy some spices, and just came back to see the scene of Chen Shu and the two of them cleaning the yard at the door of the four small stations.

"We have to eat the dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve early, or we will be restless when someone comes in a while." Dad said.

"Who's coming?" asked the sister-in-law.

"There are more than a dozen people in our village who work in Chen Shu's factory, and their factory has never been late in paying wages, let alone deducting wages. I guess how can they come over, if they come together, it will be like that, of course, it can't be called together, and the miles are even more verbose. ”

"Chen Yongping has been following Chen Shu for several years, and their family's small days can be counted in our village, it is estimated that their family will definitely come over, your uncle and their family, plus your three brothers and sisters-in-law, and a few children, it is estimated that we will not be able to sit in this house for a while. Dad said.

After counting the number of people, Chen Shu realized that it was too wise for his father to buy a new dining table, and this big dining table was just a few more people to sit, but one more table was enough for everyone to sit down. As for the children, make a small table and they will do it.

In the afternoon, when the dumplings were put into the pot, the brothers began to set off the guns, and the red gun skins were almost covered in the two small courtyards, and the cars of the two had already driven into the garage, just worried that the guns would collapse and fall off the paint.

Chen Shu found that it was too wise to weld a cannon barrel from scratch, first, he didn't have to worry too much about safety, and second, the cannon barrel was lengthened, and the height of the firecracker bomb had increased a lot, and he didn't have to move a bunch of bricks and cannon barrels.

After eating the 30 dumplings, the night gradually fell, and after cleaning up the table, I brought the prepared wine and food, which was prepared for the family members who came to visit the house at night.

Since Dad said that Uncle will definitely come over, it is natural to prepare the wine and food. Chen Shu is not stingy, this time the table is all Moutai, and he uses this for a little entertainment outside, and he can't lack it at home.

"Dad, have I finished drinking the wine at home?" asked Chen Shu.

"If I hadn't watched your dad finish drinking, the people in the village would have known that you two had made a lot of money, so they would have thought about inviting your dad to dinner. Invite your dad to a meal for a hundred dollars, let your dad bring a bottle of five hundred wine, every time. My mother deliberately pulled her face and said, this transaction has lost too much.

"It's okay, as long as you're happy, you can drink a little wine, as long as it's done in moderation, especially Dad's body, it's okay to drink one, two, two, two, don't drink more. Chen Shu said.

"Hehe, I can't drink much, they grab too much, it's good to be able to grab two taels every time. Dad naturally knew what they were thinking about inviting him to dinner, so he naturally didn't care about this.

Later, my father also wanted to open it, and when Chen Qiang came back, the wine he brought back was 200 to 300, and no matter how expensive it was, they were not allowed to bring it home, of course, it was not that there was no good wine at home, but my father divided the situation and no longer took it out casually.

CCTV's news broadcast has begun, and the family is waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start, at which time the first wave of guests has already walked into the courtyard.

"Uncle, aunt, Happy New Year!" Hearing the words, the father and mother stood up, and when they heard the voice, they knew that it was Chen Yongping and their family coming, and at this time the two children followed into the house.

"Uncle and aunt, I wish you a happy new year and all the best!" The two children saw Chen Shu and Chen Qiang and their two families, and immediately sent New Year's blessings.

"Thank you, sit down and eat some food, do you eat chestnuts, walnuts, or macadamia nuts?" After speaking, Wang Zilan brought out the plate with melon seeds and other dried fruits.

Chestnuts and walnuts are not rare for the two children, but they think macadamia nuts are rare, so they each grabbed a handful and put it in their pockets, and they didn't forget to say thank you!

Drinking at home is different from socializing, no one uses a big cup, they are all very small wine cups, Chen Yongping came over and poured a cup of wine for Chen Shu's parents, which is regarded as a toast to the elders during the New Year.

"Are you going to my uncle tonight, or are they coming?" asked Chen Yongping.

"They'll come later, and if you're okay to come and rest for a while, you'll sit down with your brethren for a while. Dad said.

"I'll go to my parents first, I guess I'll come over later if it's okay, I haven't spent much time at home in a year, so I'll stay with my dad and my brother for a while!" Chen Yongping said.

"Go ahead, you can't stay at home for a few days a year, stay more in the past, can't you come back at another time, and worry about not staying in time for the New Year?" Dad persuaded.

Chen Yongping and his partner answered before leaving with the two children, they walked on the front foot and the uncle came over with their three sons and daughters-in-law, and the children fired guns while walking.

As everyone entered the house and took their seats, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, Chen Shu and his five brothers, plus his father and uncle, seven people sat at a table, and the eldest brother and their children also sat over.

"When we came over, the third child said what kind of wine are you preparing, your sister-in-law said that it must be Moutai, and the third child still doesn't believe it, right?"

"Everyone who socializes outside drinks this, so it's impossible for our family to drink low! Uncle, let's say a few words first!" Chen Shu said.

"Hehe! To be honest, I don't dare to think that our family can live so well, it's not your uncle who picks the door, it's your uncle who really has no money to pick, or life can't live!" Uncle said this, including the mother, the aunt and several sisters-in-law all laughed.

"Well, Chen Qiang, your brothers' company is getting bigger and bigger, this 2010 is to help your eldest brother get the business of selling steel, and now your second brother is helping with the three of you, which is much better than a part-time job. ”

"In this 2010 I have seen your hard work in exchange for a happy life, I hope that in the coming 2011, your career will go to the next level, everyone is healthy and happy!

In addition to Chen Shu and his brothers, the following children also served their drinks decently.
