After sacrificing to the ancestors, the sky was already bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Gang and Lin Qiang brought their contributions back to their homes and put them on the sacrificial table in the middle hall, and the whole family worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall, set off firecrackers, and the family said hello to each other.
Lin Gang pulled Liu Ruyan to his parents, bowed deeply to his parents, and his parents were busy supporting the two, and Lin's mother helped Liu Ruyan and said, "Okay!
After all the sacrificial activities were over, Liu Ruyan was still happy, and asked Lin Gang excitedly: "Wait, is it the same as what Dad said, every family visits each other to celebrate the New Year?"
Lin Gang touched Liu Ruyan's red face, nodded and replied, "Let's hurry up and eat, and after eating, we will go to various homes to pay New Year's greetings." Liu Ruyan sighed and said: "It's good to grow up in the countryside!"
Lin Gang smiled and scratched Liu Ruyan's nose and said, "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, let you be born in the countryside and see, it's strange if you don't die bitterly." ”
Although she didn't sleep all night, Liu Ruyan's excitement did not diminish at all, and after eating breakfast in a hurry, she followed Lin Gang to visit the New Year door to door, and also enjoyed the praise and blessings of the whole village.
After walking through every house in the entire mountain village, Lin Gang and Yang Jie made an appointment to get together and tell their respective experiences.
"Gangzi, I have been working in the south all these years, I usually don't go home, only go home during the Spring Festival, or hello, I work in the provincial capital, and I can go home to visit my parents at any time. Lin Jie said with some envy.
"Jiezi, you don't know my hardships, over the years, my mother needs my care at any time, do I dare to go far away?" Lin Gang instead envied Lin Jie.
"Sister-in-law's surname, where is it?" Lin Jie saw Liu Ruyan sitting next to Lin Gang, feeling a little cold, and took the initiative to talk to her.
"Your surname is Liu, Liu Ruyan works in a media company, so which city in the south are you in?" Liu Ruyan replied politely, and asked politely about work.
"I have a good job, I drive in a super-large group in Nanhai City, and the company, like a town, is called Nanshui Group, but it is a little further away from home. Lin Jie introduced this, with some elements of comparison in his thoughts.
As everyone knows, a year later, Liu Ruyan and this Lin Jie met in the South China Sea and became Liu Ruyan's employee.
After a morning, when he returned home, the second elder immediately brought the meal to the table, and Mother Lin took Liu Ruyan's hand and said with concern: "Cub, I didn't sleep all night last night, hurry up and rest after dinner! Don't get tired." Liu Ruyan nodded obediently: "Mom, from my birth to the present, this year's Spring Festival is the happiest year I have ever had, thank you Mom for giving birth to a good husband for me." ”
Mother Lin patted Liu Ruyan's face and said lovingly: "Don't be ashamed." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were affectionate, and Wan Xinghua, who was standing at the door of the room, rolled her eyes, crooked her mouth, and flicked her ass to the kitchen to add food.
Liu Ruyan was excited for a night and half a day, and was also tired for a night and a half a day, she really relaxed, and the fatigue came over quickly, and she immediately fought with her upper and lower eyelids, so she stretched her waist, yawned, and said lazily: "Eat, eat dinner and go to bed." ”
When she woke up, it was already night, Liu Ruyan got up from the bed, got dressed, and came to the hall.
Lin Qiang's family also went back.
Mother Lin, who was sitting by the brazier, hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Come, cub, I'm sitting warm here, you sit here, I'll bring you hot water and wash your face." After speaking, without waiting for Liu Ruyan to excuse herself, she went to the kitchen like the wind, and after a while, she brought a basin of steaming hot water, a toothbrush with toothpaste and a jar for gargling.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly took it and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Mom, I'll come by myself." ”
After Liu Ruyan finished freshening up, Mother Yang brought another bowl of steaming bacon noodles and sent it to her.
"Mom, don't do this, let me do it myself, you are like this, I feel like a guest. Liu Ruyan took the noodles as she spoke, smelled them, and praised them with a smile: "Mom, the noodles you cooked are really fragrant." ”
"Cub, eat it while it's hot, after eating, Mom still has something to say. Mother Lin said as she walked towards the room.
When Lin Mu came out, she had an extra package in her hand, and after returning to the brazier, she began to open the package.
Liu Ruyan looked at the package curiously while eating, and the speed of eating noodles slowed down.
Mother Lin unwrapped the tightly wrapped cloth layer by layer, and the outermost layer of plastic cloth wrapped around the package was followed by layers of cotton cloth.
This completely brought out Liu Ruyan's curiosity, and she didn't even stop eating the noodles, looking at Lin Mu's hand without blinking. I thought to myself, what is so precious, and it is so tightly wrapped, it may be the ancestral treasure of the Lin family, right? But the Lin family is so poor, how can they keep this family heirloom? Also, why hasn't this heirloom been taken away by the eldest brother? Isn't the traditional inheritance passed down to the elder but not to the young?
With a series of questions, waiting for this mystery in the hands of Mother Lin.
The package was finally opened, Liu Ruyan secretly counted, a total of nine layers, thinking that this treasure must be very precious, if not, how could the old man wrap it so tightly?
Lin Mu lifted the last piece of cotton cloth, revealing a pair of silver bracelets inside.
The things inside made Liu Ruyan disappointed, she was disappointed, not that she hoped that the Lin family would give her a priceless treasure, but that she wanted to see a unique, commemorative heirloom, but she didn't expect that this was a pair of ordinary silver bracelets.
Mother Lin was a little excited, tremblingly handed the silver bracelet to Liu Ruyan and said: "Cub, although this pair of silver bracelets is not worth a few dollars, but this is the only dowry that my family gave me when I married into the Lin family, I took it for a few years when I was young, and I have been hiding it in the box since then, no matter what happens at home, I am reluctant to sell it, and my mother has nothing for you, this pair of silver bracelets will be used as a meeting gift for our mother." ”
Liu Ruyan looked at Mother Lin in astonishment, and it took a long time to react, and she shook her head again and again and said, "No, Mom, this is your most precious thing, how can I accept it?" In her heart, although this pair of silver bracelets is not worth a few dollars, she now understands the weight of this pair of silver bracelets in Mother Lin's heart.
"Girl, take it, this is your mother's heart, if you don't accept it, your mother will be happy for the rest of her life. Father Lin also persuaded on the side.
Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Gang again, and Lin Gang also motioned for her to accept it.
Liu Ruyan stretched out her hands, solemnly took the silver bracelet, carefully wrapped it in a cloth, put it in her arms, and said to the second elder: "Thank you, parents, I will take good care of this silver bracelet and pass it on to our next generation in the future." ”
