The Spring Festival of 2004 was unusual, January 22 was the first day of the first lunar month, and the first day was both Chinese New Year's Eve and a big cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoChinese New Year's Eve is the last night of the year, and Dahan is the last of the 24 solar terms.

It is not easy for these two to come together in the end, it is said that it only happens once in decades. But my grandmother said that this was the day of great evil, so I had to make some noise before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, so as not to leave at home with the calamities of the old year.

Where did the old lady's theory come from, Hong Tao didn't inquire, and even if he inquired, the result must have been said by an elder in the village when his grandmother was a girl, and there was no place to go to it.

In fact, there is no need to verify this, isn't it just to make a little noise, easy to do, and set off firecrackers. Compared with a fine of several thousand yuan, the mood of the old lady for a year is more important, otherwise if something goes wrong at home this year, she will definitely complain that the old year has not been delivered.

The common people are just so much fun, what kind of life can they live when they are all banned. The annual parade of the Brazilian Carnival tosses the city like a garbage heap, and the German Oktoberfest has a lot of public security incidents every time because of drinking too much, but people still don't ban it, is it still called a festival if it's banned?

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at my grandmother's house was particularly lively, because there were many people coming, not only the three uncles and the younger uncle, but also two more women and Paul's family.

This was specially arranged by Hong Tao, and there were two main purposes for calling Paul's family to come to his grandmother's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, one was to cover Zhang Yuanyuan's mother and daughter, so as to save outsiders from talking about irresponsible and suspicious things. In this way, Zhang Yuanyuan and Hong Qi can reunite with their family on Chinese New Year's Eve, otherwise they will have to be loyal and filial to both, whether to accompany their grandmother to keep vigil, or to accompany their daughter-in-law and children to welcome the New Year?

In addition, with the two children Ma Chao and Hong Qi dangling in front of their grandmother, Hua Bud will be able to follow her uncle to the door. Grandma just can't look down on her anymore, and she won't say anything to outsiders in front of her children, and she won't be able to get off the stage on the big picture.

Hong Tao's idea was deeply appreciated by his little uncle, and he patted his chest and assured Hong Tao that as long as he still had a breath of air, his uncle and aunt would not say anything unpleasant to Zhang Yuanyuan.

In fact, Hong Tao and his uncle were too worried, grandma was holding Xiao Hongqi in her arms, Xiao Ma Chao was around her, her eyes were full of kindness, and she chatted with Zhang Yuanyuan very well, talking about children's things, not mentioning anything else, let alone asking Zhang Yuanyuan and Hong Tao how they plan to live in the future. It's as if there is no need to ask about this at all, Zhang Yuanyuan and Hong Qi are originally her family.

When it was the bud's turn, the old lady really asked a lot of questions, starting from the family composition to the individual, and then began to introduce the situation of the little uncle. Whether you knew it before or not, the old lady had to say it again anyway.

This is the life philosophy of their generation, whether they can take it or not, they must explain it clearly in advance, and they can't be deceived as an old family. lest the children have a bad life after they get married, and in turn complain about their parents-in-law, and the ugly things are said first.

Fortunately, the family situation of the younger uncle is not very bad, his brothers and sisters are married, he is the youngest, he wants a house, a house, a deposit, a deposit. Of course, these savings are basically not saved by himself, but by his grandmother every month from the living expenses given by several children. Then let each family sponsor the point, which is enough for the uncle to set up a banquet and buy furniture for his marriage.

The daughter-in-law's jewelry grandma has also been prepared, that is, the style is a little older, all of which she wore when she was young, and there are still some of them handed down from the previous generation. Don't say that the style is not good-looking, these jewelry are not given to grandma, especially for the little daughter-in-law.

If you want to talk about patriarchy, it's not that the old people really don't like their daughters, but that their social environment at that time was determined. Raising children to prevent old age means that the youngest son of the family will live with the old man after he gets married, until the old man is sent away.

If there is no son, the daughter has to marry, and if she marries, she will be someone else's family, and no matter how filial she is, she can't run to her mother's house all day long, so that no one will take care of the son-in-law's family. Unless you have the ability to recruit a son-in-law to come back, but in the past, it was a very contemptible thing, but any man who can have a way will not choose this path. Therefore, there must be a son in the family, and no son is equivalent to being old and no one cares. In a sense, raising a son is to pay pension insurance.

Grandma didn't pick her eyes, and her uncle and aunt naturally wouldn't be evildoers, even if they had different opinions in their hearts, they had to endure it. In fact, they don't have any opinions, they don't have jurisdiction over Hong Tao's affairs, and they don't have decision-making power over their uncle's affairs.

Hua Bud was still very nervous before she came, for fear that her grandmother would not look down on her, an older girl who did not have a household registration in the capital. Unexpectedly, the old lady was really not too picky in this regard, and only mentioned a hard condition, she had to go home to live.

As for the cost of marriage, Hua Bud and Uncle Xiao have long not counted the savings at the bottom of the box from their grandmother, and the two of them cannot be said to be rich, but they can be regarded as entering the middle class. As long as the grandmother does not object, they will come and go for ten weddings, decorate the house five times, and buy three sets of furniture without worry.

"You kid just don't make people worry, you did such a big thing quietly, how can you tell people when the Jin family girl comes back in the future?" Grandma didn't have any ideas at all, she just didn't want to mention it in front of outsiders, when the women went to the kitchen to prepare meals, and there were men and children left in the house, she still had to complain about Hong Tao. By the way, I also want to give my grandson ideas and pass on her life experience. This is called a family, right or wrong, the elbow cannot be turned outward.

"That's it, if you don't learn well at a young age! If you let the Jin family know that you can't poke our family's backbone, we will all have to follow you and be scolded!" Uncle has never liked Hong Tao, and of course he doesn't have anything good to say.

"You can't blame Xiao Tao, it's been several years since I went out, which old man can stand it? You go to the kitchen to help your daughter-in-law, the two of them just came, and they don't necessarily cook. "Grandma is very unhappy with my uncle's attitude, and at this time she still complains that there is a fart, but you can help you come up with some ideas!

In fact, the eldest uncle is a very good person, he is not as smooth as the younger uncle and Hong Tao, one is one, two is not very good at turning. However, the more honest a person is, the less he can smoke, not only can he not be promoted in the unit, but he will not be liked by his parents when he returns home.

However, children like Uncle Xiao and Hong Tao are more powerful, not only in Grandma's house, but also in many families. Not only at home, but also in society, honest people suffer losses, and oily-headed people take advantage.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I have thought about it, and when Hong Qi is freshman, I will let their mother and daughter go abroad. "Hong Tao didn't make up nonsense to fool grandma this time, tell the truth.

"Send it away at such a young age! That's a miserable child...... Why don't you let me go here first, and say that you are helping my nephew from my hometown. "It's better to make up nonsense, as soon as grandma heard that she was going to send Hong Qi away, her arms immediately tightened, and she hugged the little girl as if she was afraid that someone would rob her, so she was reluctant, and took the initiative to help Hong Tao make up nonsense.

"Mom, this child was born in the United States, he is a foreigner, he has no hukou here, and he has no place to receive him for kindergarten and school in the future, and he can't borrow it. The little uncle didn't break his promise, and immediately reciprocated the favor and helped Hong Tao do the old lady's ideological work together. His reasons are more sufficient, and he directly cut off his grandmother's thoughts from the root.

"W-How did you become a foreigner...... You said that this old beauty is too domineering, and if she occupies Wanwan and doesn't give it to us, it's worth it and they will even rob the children!" As soon as Grandma heard that Hong Qi was an American, she immediately became indignant.

In her mind, the United States was a hell on earth, full of slaves except for the capitalists, and they used to suffer hardships. But she really can't control this matter, the country has nothing to do with the old and the beautiful, what can a housewife do except complain?

"Mom, are you serving?" Just when the old lady was angry at the big old beauty for snatching her granddaughter, the eldest aunt shouted in the kitchen, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner could be opened.

"Let's eat, Xiao Ming, open a bottle of wine, and Mom will drink two sips with you. "Although the old lady can't take revenge, grandma is still very happy. The fourth generation of the family is in the same house, and the youngest son has found a daughter-in-law, which is worth celebrating.
