"It's the New Year! It's Chinese New Year! "With the sound of firecrackers everywhere, the cheers of children are everywhere, and groups of people with various fireworks and firecrackers are set off in the open area.

At this time, it is already the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family is reunited for New Year's dinner. Most people don't go out much, they sit at their homes and chat and watch TV, and they won't move around until after Chinese New Year's Eve.

"It's still a good firework, and it's not loud." As the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve gets thicker, fireworks begin to set off all over the town. It's just that there are more and more birds here, and now the fireworks in the town are starting to be controlled.

Fireworks that are loud are not allowed to be set off, and only fireworks that do not have a loud noise are allowed. Firecrackers are not regulated because they are much quieter.

These things are not within the scope of Zhang Tao's concern, so he didn't pay much attention to these things, just listened to his mother sigh about these things, and then smiled.

If there are no firecrackers and fireworks to decorate the New Year, the taste of the New Year will be much lighter, and this will be the case in the city in the future. But the fireworks kept going off and were a little bit noisy, and now this situation is just right.

Zhang Tao is now past the age of playing with fireworks, and there are no children at home who need to play with him. Several of his cousins and cousins had children at home, but after coming over to give them a gift a year ago, they went back to their house to prepare for the New Year.

Compared with the previous life, Zhang Tao's family now has a lot of relatives to come and go, and there are many relatives who give gifts before the year and pay New Year's greetings after the year. The eldest aunt and second aunt, who should have cut off relations with Zhang Tao's family, are still in contact with Zhang Tao's family, and they are running very diligently.

Although Zhang Tao's father and Zheng Hu's relationship did not come over to give gifts a few years ago, they would come over together to pay New Year's greetings a few days after the year, and now they are also running very diligently. The poor have no close relatives in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Some things have been changing since Zhang Tao was reborn, and some things are still the same as before. Zhang Tao himself couldn't tell whether he was used to this kind of changed result, or because he had really let go.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Tao's house was no different from the previous Chinese New Year's Eve. After the family sat together and had a hearty reunion dinner, the elders gave a red envelope to a few young people, which was the New Year's money.

After giving the red envelope, sit on this side of the hall and watch TV, or play cards with a few young people. This is called keeping the year, and when it is close to twelve o'clock, firecrackers are set off to close the door of wealth and close the door.

I can't go out in the middle, and I can't go out until the firecrackers go off to welcome the God of Wealth. Zhang Tao's parents don't do this work now, and they all left it to Zhang Tao's brothers, and some traditional things will start to take over now.

They went back to their rooms to sleep after ten o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala thing was not very attractive to them, and they were used to resting early. As for Zhang Tao's grandparents, they went to bed earlier, sat down and went to sleep after eating the reunion dinner.

A few young people watched the Spring Festival Gala while playing mahjong around the stove. When it was almost twelve o'clock, the brothers Zhang Tao and Daniel Zhang stopped their activities, then washed their hands and faces together, and went to the door with the firecrackers they had prepared earlier.

At this time, firecrackers from other places around rang out, crackling as if they had been promised.

After the firecrackers, Zhang Tao and the others stopped playing mahjong, closed the door and went back to the room to sleep. Tomorrow morning, I have to get up very early to open the door of wealth and set off firecrackers, and the village will have to pay New Year's greetings together, so I can't sleep too late.

The next morning, the whole family got up early in the morning, bowed to each other for the next year, said some words of blessing, and a few young people received a circle of red envelopes. This is just a custom, in fact, Zhang Tao and the five of them are rich, and no one is short of that red envelope.

After the family had breakfast, it was time for the village to go out and pick green. Someone over there took a loudspeaker and began to shout: "All the men, women and children of the whole village will gather at the ancestral hall together!" Go up the mountain on time at nine o'clock to collect money! ”

Then blow and blow, each owner will use three sticks of incense to insert a handful of paper money to go to the ancestral hall to worship the gods, and then put a few strings of firecrackers and then go to the back mountain to pick a few evergreen branches to go home.

After traveling to collect green money, it is the practice of the whole village to pay New Year's greetings. However, the first day of the new year is no longer the village, and even the Wangjiawan next door is now strung together.

The young people of the two villages began to visit each other on the first day of the new year, and after the new year, they were looking for acquaintances to play cards and mahjong together, and they did not have to go to other places to pay New Year's greetings on this day.

On the first day of the new year, except for the need not to go out to pay New Year's greetings, the garbage from the homes of all the surrounding villages will not be taken out, but all packed together, and the garbage will be taken out after the temple fair paper boat passes by the next day.

The representative asked the paper boat to take away all the bad things, and the family was free of disasters and diseases, and the happiness was happy. These are old customs that have been preserved.

"Happy New Year, aunt and uncle! Congratulations Choi! In the evening, Zhang Tao carried a box of fruits and drinks, and then drove to his sister-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings.

"You too, you have to find a good partner." Aunt Zhang Tao replied with a smile when she saw Zhang Tao coming, only these elders will say some other blessings at this time, and the other young people have changed now.

A sentence of congratulations has become a common New Year's greeting, and in the past, different blessings would be said for different objects, but now they are too lazy to bother, and the meaning is good.

"It's still early for Xiao Tao to find a partner, and the new year should be mainly for postgraduate entrance examinations." Zhang Tao's brother-in-law also came out of the room at this time, and said with a smile after listening to his wife's words.

In the eyes of these older generations, they naturally hope that their relatives and younger generations can read as many books as possible, and it is a good wish to take the postgraduate examination for a doctorate.

"It's not early, I'll be twenty years old after the New Year. You also need to take the postgraduate entrance examination for the doctorate, and you also want to deal with the object! Seeing Zhang Tao's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Aunt Zhang Tao immediately smiled and added, which made Zhang Tao more and more embarrassed.

It seems that as soon as high school is over, the surrounding elders see young people saying New Year's greetings, and the topic of finding a partner is basically indispensable. In their eyes, children are adults as soon as they finish high school, and they have to hurry up to find a partner.

Dinner will be eaten at my aunt's house, and then I will stay overnight and participate in the temple fair here early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, the two families are so close, and there is no need to stay overnight when they come to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhang Tao's brother-in-law's house is much more luxurious than Zhang Tao's house, and his brother-in-law's family has earned a lot of money over the years. In addition to buying some houses as real estate in some cities, the decoration of houses in the countryside is also very costly, and there is no need to be taboo.

From now on, this is a place where the family lives, so it is natural to be comfortable. There are no politicians in his family, the money is earned by himself, and the background is very innocent, and he doesn't have to worry about being jealous if the family is too luxurious.

In fact, the people in the neighborhood are basically like this, Zhang Tao's family built a house at the earliest, but after all these years, his family is still not as good as the surrounding people in terms of decoration. Because Zhang Tao's mother is the number one in the town, there are some things that need to be avoided.

And from time to time, there will be leaders from all parties in the family to come to see, if the decoration is too good, in case the leader looks unhappy, and insists on tossing this matter, even if Zhang Tao's money comes clean, it will be tossed and choked.

And at this time, there are still many such leaders. In the eyes of those leaders, everything is based on their hobbies, and everything is based on their butts. As for what happened to others, I didn't put them in their hearts at all.

When Zhang Tao's family came over, his aunt's family had other relatives, and these were also people who came to help the temple fair. They didn't go back after eating, and they were all waiting for the temple fair early tomorrow morning.

These adults are poker buddies and play cards after eating. On the contrary, no one watched the TV, and a few small children were playing cartoons on remote control.

He Ming's brother and sister have two male dragon lanterns and a female dragon lantern. They are also older, a junior high school student and a high school student, so naturally they will not watch cartoons with those children, but just watch the adults play cards on the side.

The exhibition of thousands of things in the world always seems to be slowly moving towards the established trajectory, even if Zhang Tao changes some things, some things still show up in Zhang Tao's memory.

For example, the gameplay of the honor cards here is the same as the memory of Zhang Tao's previous life. The game, which was originally only played by three people, has now come out with a new trick for four people to play.

It used to be four, but only three played a number of hole cards. Now it's four people playing together, and the people who don't need to count the hole cards, but the number of cards drawn is less.

The first person to draw a card takes fifteen, and the next one is less. You don't need to be more than ten Hu to win as before, here you only need six Hu.

The price of one above six Hu rises once, and the world is still red and black together. If the reserve price is large, the win or loss is very large, and a game can lose a lot.

Just like the card game that Zhang Tao sees now, with a reserve price of five yuan, Zhang Tao's brother-in-law lost almost a thousand cards in one hand, and he paid three people's money alone.

"! Why am I firing the cannon again? I've only played a few games, and a thousand dollars are gone. ”

For Zhang Tao's brother-in-law, losing this money is nothing, and it is a loss to his relatives. It's just that he can't stand his bad luck, and he loses in a row, and he is very depressed when he loses.

"Come on! Xiao Tao, you help your brother-in-law play a few games, borrow your luck from the God of Wealth to save face for your uncle, and I'll go to the bathroom to solve the problem. ”

Seeing Zhang Tao sitting on the side and looking bored, Zhang Tao's sister-in-law immediately remembered how powerful his nephew was. Hurriedly found an excuse and asked Zhang Tao to help him play a few games, and he away.
