On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the beginning of the new year, Li Manman got up early, folded the quilt, cleaned up, and kowtowed to his grandmother sitting in the hall with his younger brother to congratulate the New Year. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Grandma Li took out two red paper bags and handed them to the sisters and brothers, Li Tianxue also took out two, and Lin Xiujuan handed two lucky oranges to the two children.

The sister and brother happily took the things given by the elders, ran out of the house, and went to play with their friends for the New Year. After leaving several families in the village, Li Manman and his younger brother's pockets were filled with peanuts and melon seeds and small sugar, and when they returned home, their mother had already made dumplings and ate a bowl of hot dumplings, and the cold air of the morning was dispelled.

After eating, some people came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, first the four uncles brought a few cousins to pay New Year's greetings to grandma, and then a few cousins gave Li Tianxue New Year's greetings, and after a while, the uncle came over with his aunt and Xiaoyong. The adults in the hall were chatting lively.

Li Manman took his two younger brothers to play in the West House, telling stories, reading comic books, and eating melon seeds and peanuts.

Eat at Li Manman's house at noon, this is almost a convention, and now in Li Manman's childhood memories, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, his own family must be entertained, and the guests are either outsiders or nephews of the village.

In the afternoon, Li Manman sat next to his father to read a book, and his mother went to take a nap with Taotao, the house was peaceful, and the winter sun was shining warmly, which made people a little lazy.

"Tianxue, brother is here to greet you for the New Year!" Zhu Changlu walked up from under the platform with a few people, "Da Hong, have you grown so tall?" ”

Li Tianxue hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him, Li Manman's mouth was curled, and he said with a smile: "Happy New Year Uncle Changlu, Happy New Year Uncle Anshun, Happy New Year Brother Zhengling!" "These people are all cadres of the brigade, they are from Zhu Changlu's faction, Li Manman has no good impression of them, but at this time they still treat their father's colleagues, Li Manman must maintain the necessary politeness.

"Da Hong, go pour tea!" Li Tianxue welcomed a few people into the house and instructed his daughter.

Li Manman poured a few glasses of boiling water, took out some melon seeds and peanuts from the house, put them on the table, and turned around and entered the house.

"Tianxue, I heard Changlu say, can your family eat cucumbers in winter?" Zhu Anshun said loudly, this is a cannon barrel, it has no heart, it can be regarded as a gun of Zhu Changlu!

"It was Da Hong who made a greenhouse, not big, and planted a few cucumbers," Li Tianxue explained, "I picked a lot yesterday, and you gave it to your nephews, if you want to eat it, I'll let Da Hong pick a few for you!" ”

"Okay, it's rare to be able to eat summer stuff this winter!" Zhu Anshun said with a smile.

"Da Hong, go look at the tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse, pick some!" Li Tianxue shouted to Westinghouse.

Li Manman was full of unhappiness, she felt that her things were better than feeding the dogs than giving them to Zhu Changlu, but there was no way to oppose her father's order, uncover the plastic film, get into the greenhouse, and look at the cucumbers and tomatoes, very distressed.

"Dad, there's not much in it! That's all I can pick! Li Manman put six cucumbers and five tomatoes on the table and said to Li Tianxue.

"Enough, enough! Oops, this tomato is really, it tastes good at first sight! Zhu Anshun took a few tomatoes and said with a smile.

"The cucumber is not bad, it is very cool!" Zhu Zhengling also said with a smile.

"Tianxue has a good boy! Unlike my little soldiers, who are all teenagers and still cause trouble, I didn't let him go out today! Zhu Changlu looked at Li Manman and said with a smile.

Li Manman glanced at Zhu Changlu vigilantly, this guy with a belly of black water, if he wanted Li Tianxue to sue, he clenched his fists, and Li Manman thought of countermeasures in his heart.

"Big red! Today, Uncle apologized to you for your little soldier! Zhu Changlu said to Li Manman with a gentle attitude, as if he really apologized for his unsuccessful child.

"It's okay, uncle, the matter between us children is not a big deal, it's over!" Li Man said with a smile, looking at what Zhu Changlu said, could he really be an adult who would participate in the contradictions between children?

"It's still big red and generous!" Zhu Changlu said with a little embarrassment, "It's good that your little soldier brother should be half obedient to you!" I'll talk about him later! But Da Hong, what about uncle, if you want to say a word about you, if you think it makes sense, listen to it, if it doesn't make sense, you will go to the wind of the ear, and if you fight in the future, you must pay attention to proportion, in case you accidentally hit the bad guy, won't you cause trouble for your father? ”

"I know, uncle, I'll pay attention, but I've always had a principle, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, double the repayment!" Li Manman hid the diaphragm in his heart and said-for-tat.

"Whew! You kid, you can't have such a hard temperament! It's good for girls to be soft! Zhu Anshun ate a tomato, wiped his hands and said.

Li Tianxue drank tea, squinted his eyes, listened to Zhu Changlu talk to his daughter, and roughly guessed what was going on, it should be that his daughter had a conflict with his little soldier last night, and the little soldier suffered a loss, and now Zhu Changlu, who is a father, is looking for a place for his son, although his words were pushed back by his daughter, who was not soft or hard, but bullied his daughter in his own home, which is too much to take him Li Tianxue in his eyes!

"Brother Changlu, my family is red, although he has a hard temperament, but he is a reasonable child, he usually doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, I don't know what happened to Dahong and Xiaobing?" Li Tianxue said with a smile.

Zhu Changlu listened to the depressed vomiting of blood in his heart, yesterday his son came home, the place was swollen, it hurt all night, and I don't know if it will affect the future, today he is ready to take the opportunity of New Year's greetings to let Li Tianxue punish the girl who loves to make trouble, but he didn't expect the small soft and hard not to eat, Li Tianxue didn't speak for a long time, and he protected the calf as soon as he spoke.

"Last night, the little soldier was disobedient and provoked Da Hong, Da Hong, so he kicked the little soldier!" Zhu Changlu made a gesture and pointed to the place where he was kicked, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Tianxue's eyes, and he looked at his daughter who was pretending to be good.

"Dad, I won't dare next time! Brother Xiaobing is five years older than me, he pounced, I was so scared that I couldn't help it, so I kicked it, I didn't expect it to ------" Li Manman immediately admitted his mistake, and at the same time hacked Zhu Zhengbing, a boy five years older than Li Manman, bullied people, but was beaten, and he was embarrassed to find his parents!

"Forget it, forget it, it's not a big deal for children to play around!" Zhu Zhengling interjected, "Under the New Year, I'll play cards!" ”

Li Tianxue nodded: "Zhengling is right, children grind their teeth, adults don't care!" Dinner at my house tonight! Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a cold cucumber, and a green vegetable ball soup, which is refreshing and delicious! ”

Zhu Changlu held his breath in his heart, endured it for a while, smiled, and played cards with everyone.

Li Manman returned to the house to read his book, and had a new understanding of Zhu Changlu in his heart, so forbearing, and his joy and anger were invisible, Li Tianxue was understandable to him.

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, was the day when the married daughter returned to her parents' home, Li Manman had three aunts, all older than Li Tianxue, and the eldest aunt was nearly sixty years old. This year, only the little aunt returned to her parents' house, the eldest aunt and the second aunt's family are a few cousins, Li Manman has ten cousins, including four of the eldest aunt's family, five of the second aunt's family, and one of the little aunt's family, among which Li Manman and the cousin of the little aunt's family have the best relationship, after the death of the father, the eldest aunt's family almost no longer moves, and the little aunt's family has made great efforts in his father's illness, and Li Manman has always been grateful.

On this day, Grandma Li was very happy, her grandchildren came to see her with gifts, and her favorite little daughter also returned.

In the morning, the cousins cut the yellow paper they brought, and followed the two uncles to the grave of the grandfather and the old lady, who should have put all the ancestors on it, but the year before last, the married girl of the big house came back and only went to the grave of their own room.

At noon, Lin Xiujuan cleaned up the two major tables of dishes, Li Manman followed, tired and half dead, but his heart was very lively, this scene of the whole family Li Manman had not seen for many years.

After eating, the second cousin of the second aunt's family drank too much, hugged Li Tianxue's legs, called uncle, laughed and cried, so that everyone could not do anything, the second cousin was bitter this year, his wife ran away with someone, leaving him a two-year-old child, usually he didn't care, but in fact, he was bitter.

Li Tianxue felt very sorry for his honest nephew, and he also sent someone to find someone at that time, but she didn't want to come back, and the two nephews didn't have a marriage certificate.

"Carry him to bed! Give him some decanting soup! Li Tianxue said to a few sober nephews.

The eldest cousin carried the second cousin who was spread on the ground to Grandma Li's bed, and Grandma Li brought the boiled honey and pear soup and poured it down for him.

When it was almost dark, the second cousin woke up in a daze and followed his brother home.
