The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, but fortunately, Zhou Kai's mother was calling for dinner, and everyone dispersed.

After eating, Wu Neng and Zhou Kai continued to talk for a while, and then went home under the pretext.

Give Zhou Kai 10,000 yuan, this is just Wu Neng himself thinks he should give so much, of course, he can continue to give him 2,000 yuan, it is estimated that he will agree, and even be happy, but Wu Neng feels that there is no need, even if he digs Zhou Kai's talent, but digging does not mean that he is who he is, at most he is a friend and a classmate.

went back to school to pick up Yanzi, and the two returned home, and the days passed plainly and nervously.

Every day, Yanzi accompanies her mother to tidy up the room, helps her mother learn to fry fish pieces, fried hemp balls, and fried tofu to prepare for the New Year.

Wu Neng also got up with nothing to do, and it was not suitable for writing in this atmosphere, so he went to the village every day to walk around, watching the owner kill pigs, watching the west family fight fish, and the days were enjoyable.

The Chinese New Year's Eve finally came, and on the same night, the whole family changed into new clothes, and it was not good to wear sportswear during the New Year, Wu Neng changed into an army green cotton coat, a yellow cotton pants on the lower body, a pair of pull back shoes, and the whole person looked a few years old.

It was rare for his father to change into a dark gray suit, wearing brand-new leather shoes, and he was in good spirits, but it was a pity that Wu Neng felt like a migrant worker who had just returned from work.

The mother and Yanzi are each dressed in bright red, which adds a lot of festive atmosphere to the house, like two hens, one big and one small, tidying up the room back and forth in the room, and cleaning the house on the 29th day of the New Year, which is a local tradition.

On this day, everyone does not have to go to the New Year's greetings, eat a good meal at home, and cook the next three days of rice, the first day of the new year, the second day of the new year, the third day of the new year, these three days are leftovers, no cooking, most men go out to pay New Year's greetings, and women greet guests at home. This is also a local custom.

On the evening of the thirtieth, after twelve o'clock, other families in the village have begun to set off firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers in this village has sounded one after another, and the time to open the door of wealth at twelve o'clock has come!

Wu Jianwen deliberately took out a big hanging firecracker and asked Wu Neng to open the door of wealth, Wu Neng took the firecracker with a smile, took out the yard, put it on the flat ground at the door of the house, lit a match, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded, popping and ......!

Wu Neng hurriedly dodged, but he was still blown up by firecrackers, screaming and jumping away, the family suddenly smiled, the night was full of smoke, and under the dim light, this small village seemed so insignificant in this era, maybe they didn't know that there was a young man who had come to this era that did not belong to him.

The screams are accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, and this is the beginning of the New Year.

On the first day of the first lunar month in 193, the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was just a little more than seven o'clock, Wu Neng felt that his father and mother had gotten up, and at this time it was just dawn outside, and his mother was also busy setting dishes and preparing breakfast.

Wu Neng's eyes closed again, and when he woke up again, it was almost eight o'clock, and his mother also told Yanzi and Wu Neng, two lazy ghosts, to get up and have breakfast.

Wu Neng got up, put on his shirt, washed up, ate a poached egg noodle, and officially prepared for the most important festival of the year - the Spring Festival!

As soon as he finished eating, Wu Neng's door was pushed open, and Wu Neng's ninth uncle came in with a pair of children, Wu Neng's father ranked eighth, and there were two sisters, five elder brothers, and one younger brother.

Originally, his ninth uncle should have gone to worship Uncle Wu Neng first, but I don't know why, the first New Year's greeting this year was Wu Neng's family, as for the reason?

Since you are here, let's "hang red", mother He Xiulan hurriedly cleaned up the table, dishes and chopsticks, and took out snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, candy, and biscuits.

Wu Neng also took out Coca-Cola, and during the Spring Festival in later generations, Coke basically became a must-have drink on the table of every family, but in this era, it has not yet risen, everyone is a family of rice wine and liquor, and occasionally there are families who buy one or two bottles of cottage orange drinks.

Coca-Cola is a rare drink in the countryside of this era, Wu Neng poured a cup for Uncle Nine and the two imps, drinking Coke in this kind of winter, Wu Neng couldn't drink it, but the two imps didn't think they were outsiders after drinking a glass, they picked up Coke and poured another glass, until a bottle of Coke drank most of it, and was reprimanded by Uncle Nine to stop.

Wu Neng hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "This thing is delicious, if you drink too much, it is not good for your teeth, you will get tooth decay, do you know what tooth decay is? It is that teeth will rot out~"

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Nine was unhappy, and said reproachfully: "New Year's Day, drink some drinks, there is no need to scare your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Wu Neng was speechless for a moment, okay, in order to show that he was really not stingy, Wu Neng poured another glass for each of the three of them, and this bottle of Coke suddenly bottomed out.

After a few people drank and ate, the mother still took out the long-awaited things of the two little ghosts, and each of them had a red envelope of one dollar.

This red envelope is decided by Wu Neng, although his family is not poor, and it can be regarded as the richest family in the village, but there are so many children, a dollar is interesting enough, in addition to the children of these dear uncles and uncles, other cousins Wu Neng suggested not to send it, if it is five cents, and the aunt and grandmother's family, Wu Neng suggested that his mother look at it herself, Wu Neng's aunt's family is a little poorer than Wu Neng's village, Wu Neng's suggestion is to give them a subsidy in the form of red envelopes, anyway, the red envelopes will eventually go to the hands of adults.

Next, Wu Neng and his father also got up and went to the uncle's house with Uncle Jiu to pay New Year's greetings, while his mother and Yanzi were waiting for the guests at home.

After some walking, I finally walked a few uncles' houses, and everyone said polite words of wishing you prosperity and all the best, and most of the others were also trying to be admitted to the top next year, which was obviously unachievable but was a compliment every year.

Who called this the Chinese New Year!

After the New Year greetings between several brothers, the next thing is to go door to door in the village to pay New Year's greetings, this is a hard work, more than a hundred families, each family goes in to say Wishing you prosperity, everything is good, then the host will hand a cigarette, regardless of men, women and children have to hand, whether to pick up or not is your business, many little devils put two cigarettes on the ears for the New Year and pretended to be like I smoke and I am amazing, and finally the cigarette was taken away by the adult, and the ass was slapped a few times.

Wu Neng took a look, most of the people will still buy a little good cigarette during the New Year, this kind of cigarette is usually reluctant to smoke, and in the New Year, they still have to politely take out good cigarettes to entertain guests, but some people who really have no money still usually smoke two cents a pack.

After the smoke is over, next, the host arranges for everyone to go to the table to "hang red", eat some melon seeds and peanuts and the like, of course, there are so many people, most of them mean it, sit down for half a minute and get up, eat some melon seeds and peanuts, drink a glass of rice wine and the like, the children want to go to the candy and biscuits on the plate, and are slapped on the head by their father, which provokes the host to quickly scatter a few candy for each child.

One after another, they went on like this, and after the worship, most of them were noon.

At noon, it is usually between several brothers, the eldest arranges a meal, everyone goes to his house to eat, tomorrow they go to another house to eat, eat for three days in a row, and finally go to distant relatives to pay New Year's greetings.

Uncle Wu Neng has many uncles, and there are more than ten or twenty children, plus adults, making a meal, not to mention the hard work, consumption is also a difficult thing, fortunately, there are many women, and when the New Year is over, the meal is almost ready.

Although everyone is not rich, but after all, it is the New Year, and there are still big fish and meat, although there are more tofu and green vegetables and pickles.

A tofu made three bowls of dishes, a tofu fried carrot, a watercress steamed oil tofu, and a fried water tofu, plus a big bowl of fish that can not be eaten, a local chicken fried dried beans, a pork vermicelli, a steamed pork, a sauerkraut fish, eight dishes, simple, there are meat and vegetarian, salty and light, full of weight, set up three tables, ten people a table, in fact, the table is not enough, women and children, everyone sandwiches the vegetables, holds a sea bowl, in the corner everyone chats, sandwiched a piece of meat and a piece of tofu, eat happily。

Rural people are like this, although the poor life causes them to be a little greedy and cheap, have no ability, and like to show, but everyone in the New Year's holidays, treat the guests or try to show their best side in front of everyone, whether it is for the sake of face, maybe to make their own people look more decent, or for a good omen, everything, everyone is looking forward to next year will be better than this year.

Wu Neng ate three bowls at the dinner table, everyone was gossiping at the dinner table, Yanzi and her mother, as women, didn't go to the table, so they fried two dishes at their own house and ate them, anyway, there are many big fish and big meat at home.
