…………………………………………………………………………………… On the way back to Jiuli Township, Tang Fei asked, "Brother Cheng, why was Secretary Zhao so good to you just now?" ”

Zeng Cheng smiled and said, "I'm stained with someone else's light." ”

Tang Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Stained with someone else's light?" Whose light is it? ”

"Of course it's your cousin-in-law's light, her father is the current secretary of our district."

Zeng Cheng said with a smile.

This news is not a secret, many people have heard what Fan Yanhong said at Zeng's house at the beginning, so there is no need to keep it secret.

Tang Fei was taken aback and exclaimed, "My cousin-in-law is so powerful!" I've also heard that my cousin is a beautiful woman, isn't it true? ”

Zeng Cheng smiled: "Of course, your cousin-in-law is the most beautiful person in the world." ”

Tang Fei said with some suspicion: "No, I, you are a lover (person) in the eyes, right?" ”

"When you meet your cousin, you'll know if what I'm saying is true."

Zeng Cheng said as he avoided a car coming from the opposite side.

"I heard that my cousin came to the village before?"

Tang Fei asked again.

Zeng Cheng nodded and said, "I've been in the village for a few days, and I only went back to the demon capital with her father this morning for the New Year." Almost everyone in the village has seen her, but you kid, busy living a two-person world with your younger siblings, haven't seen her. ”

Tang Fei Shujuan, touching his head and smirking.

And Zheng Ting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, flashed a trace of gloom in her eyes after listening to the conversation between Zeng Cheng and Tang Fei.

However, Ran Congjun, who was sitting in the back seat, was full of joy in his eyes.

According to the conversation between Zeng Cheng and Tang Fei, Zeng Cheng has a girlfriend, and she is also a beautiful woman from a big official family.

In this way, Zheng Ting will definitely have no chance.

This also means:

His chance came.

Zeng Cheng didn't care about the careful thinking of the two young people, he drove the car and said a word to a few people.

Zeng Cheng is not slow to drive, however, because some sections of the road are undergoing road reconstruction, he needs to stop and drive the wrong car, and the average speed of the guide is not fast.

When Fan Yanhong went to Jiuli Township to inspect and investigate, he promised Zeng Cheng.

To transform the road from Shicheng to Jiuli Township into a secondary road, he moved quickly.

In 2007, the road renovation project had already begun.

According to the current progress, Zeng Cheng estimates that the entire project will be almost completed in May and June this year.

When the time comes, from Jiuli Township to Shicheng, the speed will be much faster.

About half an hour after departing from the train station, Zeng Cheng's Huiteng car was about to arrive in Jiuli Township.

However, Zeng Cheng did not go back to Jiuli Township directly, because Zheng Ting and Ran Congjun were not from Jiuli Township, but from Majiahu Town next to Jiuli Township.

Majiahu Town was before the withdrawal of the district and the merger of the township.

At that time, Shicheng District was still called Shicheng County, and Majiahu was not called a town, but a district.

It's just that this district is not another district, it's just a department-level administrative district.

After sending the two to Majiahu Town, Zeng Cheng turned around and rushed to Jiuli Township, and finally at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Returned to Qinglong Village.

……………… The next day was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and families were busy preparing for the next Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zeng Cheng's family is the same, although only his parents and he spent Chinese New Year's Eve together, the eldest sister and the second sister are already married after all, each has their own family, and this Chinese New Year's Eve is naturally to spend in their own home.

But there are not a lot of things that Zeng Cheng's family has to prepare.

If in the past, when the economic conditions of the family were average, many things could be simplified, but this year, when the family conditions are better, then it is natural to improve the specifications.

And the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month happened to be February 16th, which coincided with the market in Jiuli Township.

Zeng Cheng also drove to the countryside and bought some things, mainly fireworks or something.

As for what to eat.

The Zeng family rarely buys now.

There is no need for special vegetables from the farm, as well as fish and pork.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, that is, the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zeng Cheng spent it busy.

According to the customs of Jiuli Township, on this day, you must go to the grave of the deceased elders in the family.

If in the past, Zeng Cheng had to walk, but this year because he bought a car, he didn't need to walk.

After breakfast in the morning, Zeng Cheng put fireworks and other firecrackers into the trunk of the car, drove the car and went out, while his parents were preparing Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home.

During the period when he drove back and forth between Qinglong Village and Xuanwu Village, and visited the graves of the deceased elders of both parents, Zeng Cheng hardly listened to his phone calls.

It was all New Year's calls from some good classmates and friends, or text messages, but fortunately, Zeng Cheng brought two spare batteries with him, otherwise his mobile phone would have gone on strike halfway through.

When Zeng Cheng returned home, he found that it was still early before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and when he was about to sit and rest, his father arranged work for him, saying that the Spring Festival at home had not yet been pasted, so let him paste it.

This job was very easy, and Zeng Cheng happily agreed.

It is very simple to paste the Spring Festival couplets, the upper couplets are on the right, the lower ones are on the left, and the horizontal batches are pasted on the door.

Judging the upper and lower couplets is also very simple, generally the upper couplets are the sound of the voice, and the lower couplets are flat sounds, even if the Spring Festival couplets are misplaced, they will not be wrong.

And the current Spring Festival couplets are very rare, even if they are wrongly pasted in the countryside, no one will laugh at you.

As long as the "livestock prosper"

If you stick it on the head of your own bed, you can basically mix it up.

First, three sandalwood sticks were placed in the incense burner in the middle of the living room, and a moderate-sized "Fu" was pasted on the incense burner

Words, big golden characters, very expensive, quite high-grade.

Paste it on the main hall gate, and then on the courtyard gate, from the inside to the outside.

The couplet on the two gates is the most important, the indoor wooden door, can be pasted or not, because the decoration in the villa is exquisite, it is not suitable to paste the Spring Festival couplets, so it didn't take much time, this thing was completed.

When Zeng Cheng posted the Spring Festival, he had already heard the sound of firecrackers in the village, which meant that some people had already started to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.

The time was only about one o'clock, and Zeng Cheng shook his head.

Over the years, everyone has eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dinner earlier and earlier.

Zeng Cheng remembers that when he was in middle school, the family usually started eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after three o'clock in the afternoon, and in the past few years, it has been advanced to noon.

Is this a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner or a New Year's lunch?

However, Zeng Cheng's family has always adhered to the old tradition, and basically did not eat until about five o'clock in the afternoon.

Since the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the adults and children in the village are excited not to enter the house, but go around chatting, playing poker or mahjong and snorting melon seeds.

In fact, this is a kind of exchange of feelings, in the past, rural people were too busy with farm work, until the day before the Spring Festival, there was a chance to be idle and chat.

The farm work is much easier now than before, but the habits I have developed have not changed.

Some people who work outside all the year round are also at home at this time, chatting with friends of the same age in the village about their own situation, or asking about the situation of others.

The matchmaker is also the busiest these days, blind dates, courtesy, marriage is something that only people who have achieved positive results can do, and many older men and women who are on blind dates set marriage as the ultimate goal.

There's no way, there are still a lot of singles now, there are more men and fewer women, and there are too many men who can't find wives.

Before the implementation of family planning, it was true that it was happy to have a boy, but it didn't matter if it was a girl, as long as you could afford it, you would live it together.

However, after the implementation of family planning, there are fines for giving birth to more children, and most of them will give away girls if they accidentally give birth to them, and more ruthless parents will drown their children, but they say that they died young.

Later, the situation became stricter, and the government sent a special person to explain, saying that if a girl gave birth to the first child in a rural household, she could apply for a second child for free without a fine.

But many people don't appreciate it either, and would rather be fined to have two boys than girls.

What a bad result at that time, but now the living conditions are getting better and better, but there are more and more singles, and some people understand that there is an imbalance between men and women, and many men will not be able to find a wife.

In addition, most of the working girls talked about their partners outside and married in other places.

Completely leaving the poor ravine, which made the men in the mountain village even worse.

Zeng Cheng finished posting the Spring Festival, and it was still early for the family to have Chinese New Year's Eve, so he went out and planned to take a walk in the farm.

Because today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zeng Cheng took all the workers on vacation.

Whether it is the Moon Rose Hotel, or the Xianyuan Supermarket, and the Xianyuan Barbecue Restaurant, all the vegetables and things needed were all pulled away yesterday.

Not only what is needed on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but even the vegetables needed tomorrow, which is the first day of the new year, are all taken away.

On the first day of the 30th lunar month, the workers did not need to work.

Although no one took care of it, the farm was equipped with an automatic irrigation system, so the vegetables in the greenhouse were growing very well, and there were no accidents.

After walking around, it was almost five o'clock, and my mother called and asked him to go back to dinner.

When Zeng Cheng returned home, he personally held a large plate of firecrackers and wrapped them around the trees in the yard, which were to be lit when he ate later.

Firecrackers should be set off on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the largest on the first day of the new year, and the fifteenth day of the fifth and fifteenth days of the new year.

The length of time you set off firecrackers is even related to your family's financial situation in a sense.

If you put too little, you will be ridiculed in secret.

There are a lot of fireworks now, and you can buy some fireworks to go with, and that's good.

Zeng Cheng bought a lot of fireworks this year, which he had already bought and put at home, which cost him thousands of yuan.

Zeng Cheng's return home also means that he can have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

His father instructed Zeng Cheng to come into the house to help set up the dishes and chopsticks, and he himself lit the fuse of the firecracker.

With "Crackling"

The sound of firecrackers sounded in the courtyard in front of the villa, and the Zeng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began.
