Chapter 628: 1980 is here [Ask for a monthly pass+]
——————
On the morning of the first day of the new year, the local people eat fasting.
The Xie family is this, but according to the customs, they are porridge and vegetarian early in the morning, and it just so happened that after Xu Xiye ate and drank a lot last night, he was not necessarily hungry in the morning, so he should clear his stomach.
On this day, the Xie family really lived the life of a cat winter, and all day long, everyone either stayed in the house to sleep, or stayed in the hall to play cards.
Yan Jinshu and her mother-in-law sorted the things she bought when she went shopping yesterday, and made a detailed arrangement of the things one by one, marking how the things were distributed appropriately.
Some of them have to be kept, and they can't be used until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is a big day to go back to her parents' house, and Yan Jinshu has asked her husband to inform Uncle Zhang's house that the second day of the Lunar New Year will pass to pay New Year's greetings.
Although Yan Jinshu has heard her husband say that she is very close to Uncle Zhang's family, the most important thing is that when the original owner was a child, he relied on the protection of Uncle Zhang's family to grow up safely.
However, this time when he went back, Xie Jingchen was the most generous person, and he also felt that the little wife and the three brothers of the Zhang family were too familiar?
Of course, it's definitely not Yan Jinshu who is self-cooked.
It is the three grandchildren of the Zhang family, because they have grown up protecting Yan Jinshu since they were children, even if Yan Jinshu changed his name, he doesn't remember them now, and their way of getting along is still very natural and close.
On the way home from Zhang's house, Xie Jingchen snorted at his little wife very unhappily.
There's no way, the more you care, the more you will worry about the past, why didn't you come to your little wife's side first.
Yan Jinshu would definitely be speechless if she knew her husband's mentality, didn't he know that even if he stayed by her side from the moment the original owner was born, it wasn't her!
It's really care, it's messy, jealous king!
I thought she would have the energy to go to Li's house in the afternoon, but unfortunately, after she came back from Zhang's house, her mental strength was not good.
Previously, in the Zhang family, Yan Jinshu may have had a much better soul crystal, and when he saw the Zhang family, chatting and chatting, some fragments flashed from time to time, which made Yan Jinshu's spiritual power consume extremely quickly.
is also because of this, the longer she stays, the closer Yan Jinshu gets to the charity and loyalty of the old uncle of the Zhang family.
Yan Jinshu couldn't go to the Li family, so Xie Jingchen went to the town alone with the gifts, and politely told the Li family about the situation.
Chen Xiufang heard Xie Jingchen say that after chatting with the uncle of the Zhang family, some memory fragments flashed in her mind, which made her mentally tired and could only wait for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to get together again.
Chen Xiufang herself was pregnant, how could she blame her friend for this situation. Moreover, the friend did not come, but the husband of the head of the regiment Xie came, and the Li family felt that Peng Sheng was shining.
Xie Jingchen reached the task, stayed for about forty minutes and went home.
When he came back, Yan Jinshu also woke up from rest, and the two cute treasures were sleeping beside her obediently, which was cute and satisfying.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is generally not going out, commonly known as 'Chikou Day'. On this day, the garbage accumulated since the beginning of the new year can finally be thrown out of the door, and according to the habit of the elderly, they will light incense and set off firecrackers, signaling to send 'poor ghosts'.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, pick up the God of Wealth, generally this day is the best day to go out except for returning to your parents' home.
On this day, there were really many people from the Xie family, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly people in the village. Whether it's cooked or uncooked, it's all coming from the wind.
There are also many ladies in the village who specially brought gifts, saying that they were grateful to Yan Jinshu for taking care of their children.
took Zhou Guoqing's mother as the most, which really made Yan Jinshu very uncomfortable, she actually didn't like to have physical contact with strangers, but these old ladies liked to hold her hand and talk as soon as they came, she couldn't shake it off, and she didn't feel comfortable if she didn't shake herself.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiuhua, a good mother-in-law, was here, and she quietly rescued Yan Jinshu.
Originally, Zhou Xiuhua was the Zhou family, everyone was a family and didn't talk to each other, so Zhou Guoqing's mother came with a smile and groaned, and left happily.
Zhou Xiuhua, the head of the village, is not fake, and the human relations are of course extremely good.
Yan Jinshu couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the aunt in the village anyway, and was taken away by her husband on the way on the grounds that she was tired.
On this day, Xu Xiaofen, the sister-in-law, really received soft hands when she received eggs.
Even if Zhou Xiuhua went back according to the ceremony, after this day, there were still two more baskets of fresh eggs and ten catties of white sugar and brown sugar each.
In the countryside, it is generally necessary to bring home-grown eggs and sugar to pay New Year's greetings, which is quite close.
If the friendship is average, they will not go to each other before the Lantern Festival. Because the people who came to the door before the Lantern Festival never went to other people's houses empty-handed.
If you really want to do this, people will say that there is no etiquette and no tutor. Of course, children don't count on each other's doors.
On this day in the Xie family compound, it can be said that there are many human contacts, and later, some good ladies also formed teams to play cards.
After Xie Tiesheng quit smoking, there was no hookah in the courtyard, and Zhou Xiuhua herself didn't smoke, so the hookah was put away by Xie Jingwei.
Speaking of which, the Xie family also smokes hookah with Daddy, but Xie Jinggang doesn't smoke so much. Even if you want to smoke, you like to smoke paper cigarettes just like young people nowadays.
When the old men came to Xie's house, they couldn't find the hookah pipe, although Xie Jingchen got paper cigarettes for the uncles to smoke, but they were not used to smoking! After smoking one or two meaningfully, they all felt that it was too light, and most of them couldn't sit for long, which didn't make the Xie family's compound like a theater.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Xie family began to go to the village branch to carry tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
In the countryside, in the past, they used to eat big pots of rice, leaving a lot of public bowls and plates, and usually there were big happy events in the village to open a big pot of rice, so even if there were six families to borrow dishes, it was enough.
The Xie family calculated who they wanted to invite, because Yan Jinshu was pregnant, and the task on Xie Jingchen was also dangerous, and the family decided to invite only close relatives after discussion.
Yan Jinshu is in Y County, and the only people invited are Uncle Zhang's family and Li Bao's family.
The Xie family has many brothers, but this time it was Xie Jinggang and Xie Jingchen's children who added the lamp, so it was these two brothers who invited guests to the banquet. As for the others, they are not invited, and generally at most they invite the mother-in-law of each daughter-in-law.
According to the old custom, whenever there are in-laws and their own brothers do happy events, generally the in-laws and brothers-in-law are also in the house of the person who needs to be invited, and the seat is still in the upper seat.
The Xie family is all in the village, so there is no need to write a special invitation, Xie Jingchen and Xie Jinggang have already visited the elders one by one.
For the rest of Zhou Xiuhua's relatives, the old people in the family are long gone, and there are only brothers and sisters left.
Zhou Xiuhua has only one sister, and she is married too far, plus the Xie family has a wedding banquet, and her sister's family also happens to have a happy event to do, so they can only avoid each other.
The four siblings finally discussed, the eldest brother went to the younger sister for a banquet, and the younger brother came to her for a banquet.
In the end, Zhou Xiuhua also invited her younger brother's family to come. Oh, and there is also a cousin who has the same room, because they are married not far apart, so they are quite close.
