For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, two tables are directly opened, one table for men and one for each gender. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lu Qinghe and Lu Yichen represented their own families today, toasting Lu Jian, Lu Jun, Xie Changsong, and the four elders of Lu Guan. The little fat man and Lu Qingjiang both drank less, and Lu Qingyuan was also a respectful adult, but he didn't dare to drink more, and he didn't drink one-third of Lu Qinghe's alcohol.
Nearly an hour and a half later, the meal was finished, Zhang Yimei took Xie Wumei and Li Ailing to clean up the table, Lu Meizhi and Lu Qinghe made tea, brought candy plates and melon seed plates, Xiaomeng had already taken Lu Yichen to start sitting with Li Qingjiang and them, playing mahjong.
Lu Qiang, Xie Changsong, Lu Jun, and Lu Jian, the four big men, also directly made up a table of four-person cards.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Yimei and the three concubines came out, and Li Chenli began to give red envelopes to the juniors, the size of the red envelopes was the same, and everyone had a New Year's money of 100 yuan, even Lu Yichen and the little fat man. After the second elder sent out the New Year's red envelope, he went back after receiving the auspicious words.
Zhang Yimei, Xie Wumei and Li Ailing also prepared red envelopes for each of the children, and the amount was 50 yuan per person. Then the little fat boy gave Lu Qinghe a red envelope on behalf of his father, and after this small round, Lu Qinghe had an extra 300 yuan in each pocket.
Lu Qinghe remembered that at this time in his previous life, the red envelopes given by everyone were only ten yuan. The grandchildren only have ten yuan, and the little sister and the third sister are only five yuan.
Sure enough, everyone's living conditions are really needed, and all aspects have improved, even the New Year's red envelopes with them have risen.
Zhang Yimei called Xie Wumei and Li Ailing, called Lu Meizhi, and the four of them also made up mahjong, playing bigger than usual, and the whole game was ten yuan a game. All of a sudden, Lu Qinghe and Lu Yichen were idle, and the two instantly became errand girls and maids.
In a moment, someone here is going to go to the bathroom, and you take a seat; After a while, someone here will run out of tea, so they need to add some heat.
After such a little busy, there was also a little bit of free time occasionally, Lu Yichen took advantage of that little free time, pulled Lu Qinghe upstairs to his room, opened the suitcase and took out a gift box from inside: "Qingqing, this is a New Year's gift for you." Well, there's also this one of the New Year's money I gave you. ”
Lu Qinghe took the gift box first, it was a little heavy and a little big, and she didn't open it right away. Instead, he took the New Year's red envelope given by Lu Yichen with some amusement: "This won't be a blank check, just let me fill it in?" ”
Lu Yichen actually nodded seriously.
"Damn, Chenchen, it can't be true, right?"
"Qingqing, you can see if it's true."
Lu Qinghe folded it in disbelief, and felt a red envelope that was completely different from the one given by his parents. It was actually a Chinese bank card, Lu Qinghe looked at Lu Yichen.
"The password is your birthday, this is the money I earned from my part-time job abroad, and I will give it to you as New Year's money. There's not much money in it, you can use it to do what you want. Lu Yichen minded Lu Qinghe that he didn't have enough money, and he thought of sending a bank card after listening to her that day.
This money is more meaningful to him, so Lu Yichen feels that such a meaningful thing should be given to his most important person and shared with her.
"Okay, then I'm not welcome, I'll take it first."
Lu Qinghe knew that Lu Yichen made a move, and the amount would definitely not be low. Indeed, no matter how much money is in the card, it is Lu Yichen's intention. also saw that Lu Yichen prepared red envelopes for Xiaomeng, Little Fatty, and Li Qingjiang, who was smaller than him, and she was a lot more relieved.
It's just that she didn't expect that the money in this bank card helped her get out of the predicament later, when she needed money the most.
Around eleven o'clock, all three tables were over.
Zhang Yimei also helped Lu Qiang to 'get rid of the old'. The last shower of the year must be taken before twelve o'clock, and new clothes must be changed.
"Brother Chen, you see I won tonight, a total of one hundred and thirty-five yuan. It seems that I must have good financial luck this year. Hahaha, you don't know that the third sister lost eighty yuan. Xiaomeng happily said that tonight's card game, more than a hundred, but a lot.
In addition, tonight's New Year's money is actually over 1,000 yuan.
"However, the fourth sister, the third sister, don't you all give me New Year's money? I'm younger than you, you can't forget just because the eldest sister and the second sister are not there, you see how generous Brother Chen is and how much he loves me. Directly gave me a 500 yuan New Year's red envelope. Oh my God, it's the first time I've received such a big red envelope, and I must tell Xiaoyun and Shengjun about it tomorrow, I'm jealous of them. ”
Xiaomeng, a greedy ghost, still wants to continue to press the New Year's red envelope.
In the past, when the eldest sister and the second sister were at home for the New Year, they would give Xiaomeng, Lu Qinghe, and the third sister small red envelopes.
Lu Meizhi gently scratched Xiaomeng's nose with his hand: "I lost money tonight, are you embarrassed to ask me for a red envelope?" I'm not like you, I can receive so many red envelopes, and I resolutely don't give them tonight. ”
Lu Qinghe also unceremoniously pinched Xiaomeng's fat face: "If you lose weight sometime, I will give you a red envelope as big as your brother Chen." Hurry upstairs to find clothes, and go upstairs with me to take a shower. Later, we went to the gate of the elementary school to watch the fireworks. ”
"Okay, okay, hurry, let's hurry, Brother Chen, you help us carry hot water." I dreamed of watching fireworks, and I didn't think about red envelopes all of a sudden. Tonight's fireworks were all bought by Lu Yichen in their supermarket, and they basically bought all the fireworks in the vats.
Today's weather is good again, it's past 11 o'clock in the evening, and it's also very lively.
From time to time, the sound of someone talking outside could be heard.
At twelve o'clock, the hour hand is pointed, the sound of firecrackers, fireworks, and cheers are endless. And the fireworks at the entrance of the playground of Lingu Village Primary School were also set off, surrounded by people of all sizes, old and young. They were all blocked out of the safety line, and everyone was chatting about winning and losing their hands tonight.
As soon as half past twelve o'clock arrived, the village chief was the representative, and more than a dozen adults began to light fireworks, colorful, and the whole night sky was like a dazzling oil painting.
Bang!
Cracking sound!
La-la-la, blah-blah!
The star-like red dots burst one by one, like red beans in a frying pan, dancing with cheerful steps, lighting up all kinds of fireworks shapes. Everyone covered their ears and dodged, but they also had unstoppable impulses and excitement. The explosion of fireworks is instantaneous, but, in the hearts of all, it resides as an eternal beauty roll.
"Wow wow, it's so beautiful, you see, it's like a shooting star, it's so beautiful."
"Ahhhh
"And that one, this year's one is much better than the old one."
"That's for sure, there are twice as many fireworks as before, of course it's beautiful. It's a pity that there is no camera, otherwise it would have been filmed, it would have been too beautiful. ”
Suddenly, I don't know which child said out loud: "Make a New Year's wish quickly, and it will be over in a while." Please, my wish will definitely come true this year. ”
Sure enough, many little girls closed their eyes, folded their hands, and made wishes in front of their eyes.
Lu Meiyi was pulled aside by Lu Wenhang when she arrived at the playground and left the sight of Lu Qinghe and her sisters. When everyone looked up at the fireworks, Lu Wenhang kissed Lu Meizhi.
Lu Meizhi's body stiffened for a while at first, but was soon caught in it by Lu Wenhang's gentle kiss.
When Wu Qing saw this scene, he pulled the corner of Lu Xuelei's clothes, and pointed to Lu Meizhi with a red face.
Xiaomeng took the little fat man and the small and safe little fireworks that Lu Yichen bought for her to find Lu Xiaoyun and Lu Shengjun's two best friends.
Lu Qinghe looked at the fireworks in the sky and was fascinated.
She remembered that in her previous life, Wen Yuanjie also took her to see a fireworks show. In an unknown mountain in Ansha City, looking up at the sky, when Wen Yuanlou expressed his love to her. At the foot of the mountain, fireworks of 'I love you' were displayed. It's particularly beautiful.
Once upon a time, Lu Qinghe really felt that it was really the luck of eight lifetimes to meet a man like Wen Yuanjie in the world to love him.
As a result, she later found out that when he asked him to treat you, you were really as precious as a treasure, and he was willing to hold anything in front of you and give it to you; When you don't like it, throw it away. She really saw with her own eyes how Wen Yuanjie coaxed the girl who was pregnant at the same time as her step by step, walked into the hospital, and lay on the operating table.
Miserable. Bear with it, the woman's belly is really just one he provides. Essence. Son, it's not human life!
Even though Wen Yuanjie has done such a thing, Lu Qinghe still expects that Wen Yuanjie can love himself as much as he chased himself. Slowly, she calculated step by step to marry Wen Yuanjie.
What about after marriage? is dispensable, so that Lu Qinghe is like a person who is not married, but it is a little different, she needs to cheer up every day to deal with all kinds of difficulties of her mother-in-law.
After a long time, Lu Qinghe didn't know how he felt about Wen Yuanjie.
If she said that she had no feelings, when she knew that Wen Yuanjie had other women, her heart hurt again; In the end, Lu Qinghe couldn't figure it out after finally getting divorced and leaving the house..... Sometimes in the middle of the night, Lu Qinghe is in tears, thinking more about his daughter.
Suddenly, the cold hand came to the temperature, Lu Qinghe looked at the other party casually, and Lu Yichen was smiling at her: "Qingqing, Happy New Year." ”
"Happy New Year!"
It's been another year......
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Qinghe was still the same as in previous years, following the third sister, bringing Xiaomeng and Lu Yichen, and every family went to pay New Year's greetings, and met a large group of people on the way. In Lu Yichen's opinion, this is really quite incredible.
I have lived in Suoyang City for more than ten years, and my family does not go anywhere on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and others come to their house to pay New Year's greetings. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my grandmother's relatives, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my grandmother's house, which is no different from my relatives through the festival.
On the other hand, in Lingu Village, all the children acted together, and there were 1,200 children, lining up to go to the people's house to greet the New Year, speak auspicious words, eat melon seeds, grab candy, and the first one had a small red envelope. First of all, no matter how many red envelopes there are, even this collective activity is not something that ordinary villages can organize.
It will not be like Lu Qinghe, who is methodical and particularly orderly. The adults in every family are also very generous, and they all prepare things early for the children to come. Lu Yichen thought of the beggars on TV or in novels, begging everywhere.
They are also a bit similar, but they all send auspicious and good wishes.
The fifth child listened to Lu Qinghe's words, accompanied Lu Yichen, and by the way, also explained to him the customs and habits of the children in Lingu Village: "This is inherited by the ancestors of the Lu family, Brother Chen, you see, all of us who came to visit the New Year with the surname Lu, the little fat man, Li Qingjiang, and they can't participate." ”
We, the children with the surname Lu, can only go to other families after paying New Year's greetings with the people of the surname Lu family. Even if your grandmother's family is surnamed Xie or surnamed Li, you must first pay a New Year's greeting to the family surnamed Lu before you can go, and you can't go to the first one. We not only send blessings and auspicious words, but also give ourselves blessings. ”
Lu Yichen was a little clear: "Then are there any rules for this 'child' who goes out for the New Year?" ”
"Of course, as long as you are not married, you can participate, but after the age of eighteen, it is no longer a mandatory requirement, you can come by yourself or not. After the age of eighteen, you are an adult, according to our words here, you are an adult. My eldest brother and my second brother would have come if they hadn't started a family, and they were still the ones who took the lead. ”
The fifth child said again, ended the family again, and helped Lu Yichen grab a candy and stuff it into his pocket by the way: "You can take less candy and melon seeds, but you can't not take it, this is called gathering wealth and blessings, if you go to the New Year and don't accept the return gift from others, it will be particularly impolite, and it will be said."
Only by gathering the blessings of each family together and eating it in the stomach will we be safe and healthy in the coming year. This is why we will have hundreds of rice, rice, cloth, and clothes. Xiaosi, when he was a child, he ate 100 rice and wore 100 clothes, so that he could return safely and grow up healthy after many disasters. ”
The matter of Lu Qinghe that Lao Wu said is indeed agreed by many old people in Lingu Village.
Lu Qinghe was born just eight months old, and he gave birth smoothly and prematurely, and it was the tape cut by Lu Qiang himself. According to normal people, they have children who are eight months old, and there are men who will never be in the room where they give birth. It will bring bad luck to men, and there will also be hedging evil things for children.
So Lu Qinghe has been frail and sick since she was born, and it is more because the external conditions of her own birth are not good, too much. Coupled with Li Chenli's superstitious statement, everyone also believed it to be true and spread it falsely.
"Well, okay, you can remember to share more of me in a while, and I will also touch everyone's blessings and wealth."
Lu Yichen, who has passed eighteen years old all the way, is excited and embarrassed, and a little embarrassed, especially uncomfortable, he is just curious to come with Lu Qinghe and the three sisters, and when he went out, he also asked the little fat man.
It turned out that this was the reason, because his surname was Lu, otherwise, he would not have been able to join such a big team.
The fog of the early morning slowly lifted, and the sun came out again.
The children who greeted the New Year also finished the transfer of Lingu Village and went home separately. Lu Yichen saw Lu Qinghe, the third sister and Xiaomeng, all kinds of candy and melon seeds in their pockets were poured on the table, counting the candies to see who had more, and the melon seeds were directly put into his own melon plate.
"Brother Chen, you also take out your blessings and wealth today and count them. You don't want to hide yourself and eat secretly like Xiaoyun and them, right? Hahahaha, I didn't do that many years ago. "Everyone's family conditions are slowly getting better, and going out on the first day of the New Year to give people New Year's greetings is no longer candy melon seeds, but the fun and good luck brought by this behavior.
Lu Qinghe and the third sister also finished counting their own, and sat down on Lu Yichen's side: "Xiaomeng is right, take it out and let me out, and we will help you count." ”
When Lu Yichen was digging out his pocket, he seemed to hear the sound of Lu Qinghe's three sisters laughing collectively, and when he looked at them again, the corners of their mouths really rose, and Xiaomeng's evil smile really couldn't be hidden.
Like a meat bun beating a dog..... (To be continued.) )
