Chapter 20 New Year's Greetings
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the customs of the ancient town are vegetarian all day, and most of the families will go to the West Mountain outside the ancient town in the morning, and there is a century-old city god temple on the mountainside, and the incense is very prosperous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are also a small number of people will go to the ancient town of the south mountain on the "Jukui Tower", it is said that the three words of Jukui Tower are written by Yuan Chonghuan, the general of the Ming Dynasty, (that is, the old man Jin wrote the blue blood sword male protagonist his father) to go there to burn incense There are also a lot of people.
On this day, Lin Wenshan decided that the whole family would go to Jukuita to burn incense, because there were too many people in the City God Temple, and the smoke was burning, and many times if you didn't pay attention, you would be burned to your clothes by incense, burning a hole, and firecrackers would occasionally blow up your face.
At the beginning of the New Year, everyone wore new clothes, and her mother put on a set of red cotton clothes and pants with small flowers for Lin Ziqing. With two tiny pigtails on her head, Lin Ziqing looked in the mirror, a little rustic.
Hahaha, but the clothes of this era are like this, Lin Ziqing still posed with a smile, and she was stinky.
After dinner in the morning, when I walked to the front yard, my uncle in a new dress was holding a stack of red envelopes and handing them out to a few children one by one.
Today's uncle is dressed very fashionably, her hair is hot and curly, and she wears golden lilacs on her ears. My uncle is a pretty 50-year-old lady who usually smokes cigarettes, and her favorite is the fine green moore, and I heard that my uncle can also dance ballroom dance.
As soon as everyone got the red envelope, they couldn't wait to open it, and kept shouting, knowing that this year's uncle sealed a red envelope of six yuan, and the children's eyes were out of sight, so they ran out of the yard.
Lin Ziqing was called over by her uncle, stuffed her with a red envelope, and touched her head spoiledly. Lin Ziqing said obediently, "Happy New Year, uncle, thank you for the red envelope, uncle is so good." "I put the red envelope in my pocket, because it is rude to open the red envelope in front of me.
When she went out, Lin Ziqing handed over the red envelope to her mother, Tan Liyun opened it and looked at it, there was sixteen yuan in it, Lin Wenshan also saw it, and said, "Your uncle still loves you the most, and you must be grateful when you grow up." ”
"Okay!" Lin Ziqing nodded obediently.
After burning incense in Jukui Tower, there was a photographer in the town outside the tower who was holding a camera to solicit business, and Lin Wenshan paid ten yuan to take a few photos.
On the first day of the new year, the residents of the ancient town do not go to anyone's house to pay New Year's greetings. So on the second day of the new year, every family began to prepare, and on this day, the son-in-law was going to his father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Mother's maiden family is not here, so Lin Wenshan, the second year of junior high school, decided to take Lin Ziqing to the third uncle Tan Tonggui's house in the next village to pay New Year's greetings.
Lin Ziqing was a little reluctant to go, and in the end, Lin Wenshan brought a bag of things, which also contained two bottles of wine, and still only took her alone.
In her previous life, Lin Ziqing remembered one thing very clearly about her third uncle.
After her mother left them that year, Lin Wenshan took her and her younger brother to the third uncle's house, and the third uncle not only kicked them out, but also did not allow them to go to his house to find him, and the two families broke off contact.
But later, rumors spread throughout the town that Lin Wenshan was a "wreck", "eating soft rice" and "beating his wife...... Lin Ziqing's family can't raise their heads in the town, Lin Ziqing is pointed at every day, and her life at school is also very difficult, and she doesn't have to think about it, but her third uncle did it, so at that time, when she mentioned her third uncle, she was resentful.
Lin Ziqing's third uncle's family lives in "Luxiatian Village", which is under the jurisdiction of the ancient town, and it is about four kilometers away from a road past the East Gate Bridge in the ancient town.
Usually it takes forty or fifty minutes for adults to walk, but when he came out late today, Lin Wenshan took out his family's "Phoenix" bicycle and decided to ride it.
The 28th of this bicycle is weighted, there is a bar in front, Lin Ziqing was put here, fortunately she was wearing cotton clothes and pants, or if she sat for a long time, her butt would hurt.
Lin Wenshan was so afraid of the cold that Lin Ziqing also brought her a beanie hat that could cover her mouth and neck, and he rode the bicycle fast, and arrived at Lin Ziqing's third uncle's house in less than fifteen minutes.
Tan Tonggui's house is at the entrance of the village, it is a five-room bungalow built with blue bricks and cement, Lin Wenshan took Lin Ziqing to the door of the house and shouted, "Is the third brother here? I am Wenshan, I have come to greet you for the New Year!"
Wang Baojin, the third aunt in the house, heard the sound and walked out with her eight-month-old son in her arms, and she greeted warmly, "His brother-in-law is here, come into the house!"
"Happy New Year, Third Aunt!" Lin Ziqing shouted obediently
"Okay, Qingqing has grown up a lot. Wang Baojin smiled at Lin Ziqing
"No need, sister-in-law, I'll come by myself, it's inconvenient for you to hold the child, why didn't you see Tan Ruihua?" Lin Wenshan put down his things, walked to the square table on the side, and poured out two cups of boiling water.
"Dawa, he went to the village to his in-laws' house, and came back at noon. Wang Baojin gently shook his youngest son with his hand.
"Heh, little baby, show it to my uncle!" Lin Wenshan teased the child in Wang Baojin's arms with his fingers, the child was white and chubby, and it was very cute.
"Did you get a name?"
"I haven't gotten up yet, now it's called "Erwa", and I'm going to get up when I turn one year old. Wang Baojin was tired of holding the child, so he sat on the back chair to rest.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Lin Ziqing's third uncle also came back from shopping.
Lin Ziqing's third uncle is the sales section chief of the city cement factory, he is very rich, and his stomach is slightly bulging.
"Wenshan, are you here, have you had breakfast?" Tan Tonggui saw Lin Wenshan when he entered the house, he took out a pack of "Red Peony" cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Lin Wenshan
"I've eaten, I won't bring Qingqing to you to greet the New Year!" Lin Wenshan took the cigarette, lit the fire, and took a puff.
"I've been busy for most of the year, and I haven't taken the time to see Qingqing, how are you doing now?" Tan Tonggui sat on the chair and asked casually.
"It's all right, there's nothing going on, and now Qingqing is quite smart!" Lin Wenshan replied happily
"That's good, let's have a few drinks at noon, I bought a pound of fried peanuts today, I tell you, you still have to go with this when you drink, that taste ......" Tan Tonggui has a lot of wine, Lin Ziqing has seen him drink two catties of "Huanghuashan" rice roast alone.
After lunch, Lin Wenshan was about to say goodbye, and he took out two red envelopes to his two nephews. Before leaving, Lin Ziqing's third aunt also stuffed her with a red envelope.
As soon as she returned to her home, Lin Ziqing went to sleep in her bed, she felt that she didn't seem to be able to control herself today, and sometimes her face showed a trace of resentment towards her third uncle.
This is not good, things haven't happened yet, I put pressure on myself like this, I'm really afraid that one is not good, I can't help but burst out a bad word, don't scare your family.
