The Spring Festival finally arrived, and although the two brothers and sisters found their other half, because this year was the first time that the two sisters went home at the same time for the New Year, they sent Liu and Zhao back to their own homes to accompany their parents and younger siblings at home, and talk about family life affectionately.

In the concept of people in northern cities and villages, girls who have gone out (that is, married) cannot see the lights of their mother's house in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of junior high school, otherwise they will kill their father-in-law. But this old routine, like the cultural treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years, has been swept into the garbage!

Because of the times, in China in the 70s, the Spring Festival was really a very, very 'tasteful' festival, and the food that you can't usually eat at all can be done as much as you want in this half month! Yu Fang's stewed meat in advance, fried big Sixi meatballs, stewed chicken, cooked fish, chicken, duck and fish are all available, and of course, there are indispensable dumplings with three fresh fillings.

It was the first time for Wu Baokun to sit and drink with his nephew, he didn't know how much this little guy drank before, he was already shaky after seven or eight taels of wine, but Lu Li was completely fine, "Xiaoxiao,...... Did you practice this wine in Tangshan? ”

"Hehe......" Luli smiled wryly, how could he explain this? Be...... Right? ”

"How much can you drink?"

"I ...... I don't know, it's the most ...... anyway Multi-...... time, drank three ...... Pounds, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't ...... Yes, really, really. ”

Wu Baokun looked at the child with a suspicious look, "Xiaoxiao, why do you drink so much?" ”

"This ...... How do I know? Sky...... Raw. ”

Wu Baokun smiled bitterly, he also loves to drink, but because he is a policeman, alcohol is a taboo at work, he can only taste it during the New Year or vacation, he usually doesn't dare to drink more, and his amount is not very large, "Oh, Yu Fang, did you hear that?" ”

Yu Fang was cooking dumplings on the stove, and nodded when she heard the sound, "I heard, you two can drink one by one, okay?" ”

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, filling the stove with briquettes and burning the room hot, the family gathered around the stove while eating melon seeds and peanuts, while talking and keeping the year, "Come brother, if you are tired, go up to sleep, right?" ”

"No, I'll let Jianguo pick me up in a while."

"What's wrong, go back?"

"Go back, or Dad and Xiao Xiao won't have a place to sleep at night - it's too cold to sleep in the house."

"Me too," Brother Zhao also said, "Xiao Liu will also pick me up later." ”

Yu Fang's expression was gloomy, and she took a bite of melon seeds, "So I said, what is the use of raising a daughter, it is all for others!" It's better to be a kid. ”

"Now you say kid is okay? When you were a child? Didn't you always say that you raised this white-eyed wolf for nothing? ”

Brother Zhao's words provoked the family to chuckle again and again, and Yu Fang also blushed, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, Zhao Min, that girl, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"Same ...... Learn. ”

"Classmate, don't be an aunt who doesn't know, classmate has such a cold day, waiting for you to drink the northwest wind at the train station? Xiaoxiao, I think you're going to be illegal, aren't you telling the truth to your aunt? ”

Listening to Yu Fang's skillful reprimand, Lu Li smiled sincerely, and his body cowered back, "Don't ...... Don't ......"

"Don't? Let's be honest. ”

She ...... She was...... I...... Girlfriend. ”

"Oops!" Brother Zhao reached out and grabbed his brother's ear, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, how old is it to have a girlfriend?" Long enough? ”

Lu Li seems to have become the naughty boy who is seven or eight years old again, and he bullied his sister very pitifully, which made Yu Fang laugh a few times! "Alright, don't be funny. Xiaoxiao, I think that girl is very good, very polite. Be kind to people. ”

"Uncle...... What do you say? The eight characters have not yet ...... A skimming of it. ”

"I know, isn't that telling you?"

"Hey, I'm ...... Remember...... Finish. ”

The family talked and laughed, but they didn't realize that time flew by, and when it was almost ten o'clock, Zhao Jianguo came. He also drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, and he greeted the New Year when he entered the door, "Dad, Mom, have a good New Year." Xiaoting, give you New Year's money. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you...... Brother-in-law. ”

"You're welcome, we're a family, and if it's useful in the future, I'll tell my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law will buy it for you!" How about it, brother-in-law loves you enough, right? ”

Luli lamented in his heart: the chatter has begun! Sure enough, on the occasion of Zhao Jianguo's presence, it will always be lively, he loves to talk very much, and he can also say that the big voice of the wow-wah has covered the voices of others, "...... Do you know Liu (Qing) Shan and Zhang (Zi) Shan? That was the one who participated in the battle of Luding Bridge, and there was a gold medal for avoiding death, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he broke the law and sent it to the chairman, what do you think about the chairman? ”

"How?"

"The chairman shed tears! Finally, with a big stroke of the pen, I drew a cross on the names of the two people! Do you know what it's called? It's called, 'From this day forward, there will be no more of these two people in the world!' ’”

Zhao Jianguo danced with his hands, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and shouted in vain, "The result is dead!" I heard that after that, the chairman took back all the gold medals for avoiding death. No one wants to use this thing as a talisman and do something illegal! ”

Luley thought it was so funny! Did you see it at the time or what? He knew that Zhao Jianguo was talking nonsense, and he wanted to scare him, but he didn't think it was necessary - Yu Fang liked to listen to him talk like this, "What's more?" What else? ”

"Mom, if you have the money to listen to the legend of the white snake, if you don't have the money, you won't listen to the white call egg! It's okay to listen to him call in vain? ”

"Don't care, Xiao Zhao, you go on."

"Let's talk about a true thing, we have a Beijing (Beijing) educated youth, one year home, passing by the day (Tianjin), suddenly the dog ignores the buns, halfway off the train, to the dog to ignore the main store to eat, guess how much he ate?"

"How much?"

"Two pounds! Survive to death! ”

"Really dead?"

"Aren't you really dead? Don't believe you, ask my brother? ”

This time, the younger brother did not refute, this incident was a sensation at the time, and it was true, but whether it was the educated youth of Beijing (Beijing) or whether he ate so many steamed buns is impossible to question, and he listened to it as a joke.

Zhao Jianguo had enough of his addiction to smoking and talking here, got up and said goodbye to his family, and took his wife back to his home. "Oh, how can this person say that? My ears are ringing. ”

Sent Zhao Jianguo away, Liu Yifeng immediately entered the door, these two aunts are really two extremes, one is too able to speak, the other is too silent, others say a hundred words, he may only say 'um', which makes people helpless, "Brother Zhao, wait a while to pick up and leave, after a while, the cannon will be fired, and then it will collapse?" ”

"Hey." Brother Zhao turned around and was busy, but Liu Yifeng quickly approached Lu Li, "Hmm...... Hmmm......"

"What?"

"Thank you."

"Oh, don't...... Gas. Luley remembered, probably for the sake of that afternoon's events, to know to him," I ...... Second sister...... People are the best, don't ...... Just mess with her, and you'll be fine. ”

Liu Yifeng no longer spoke, just nodded frequently. "Let's go," Zhao Brother changed into new clothes, turned back and waved to his family, "Talk?" Won't you even say yes? ”

"Oh," Liu Yifeng looked like the most well-behaved baby, turning back to say goodbye to his parents-in-law - even so, he still didn't speak!

********************************

Crackling and letting go of the cannon, the home has become much more deserted, listening to the crisp sound of firecrackers in the alley, even the sky-high price is endless - the cannon on Chinese New Year's Eve is to be carried out until three or four o'clock in the morning, do not want to go to bed at all, even if you fall asleep early, you must be awakened by the sound of cannons! "Hey, Xiaoxiao, is there a knock on the door?"

"What time is it...... Who's coming, did you hear it wrong...... Finish. ”

"No, it's someone." Wu Baokun also heard the voice, opened the door to look, and after a while, he turned back again, followed by a person behind him, "New Year's greetings!" Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, it's the first day of the new year, give your second old man a New Year's greeting, Happy New Year! ”

Lu Lihuo suddenly got up, it was Cao Xun! "You...... How do you get here...... Finish? ”

Cao Xun grinned and took a dim sum from Gui Shunzhai, "New Year's greetings!" Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, this is for your second elder. ”

"Oh, Happy New Year, you have a good New Year, this ...... This...... How does this say? Hurry up, come in and sit, come in and sit. ”

Let Cao Xun into the house, sit down by the stove, "You ......"

"Uncle Wu, my name is Cao Xun, I live in Wangjia Hutong plus three points, and Lu Li is a classmate, and he is also a young man who went to the countryside together, but he is in Shanglin, and I am in Leizhuang, a hundred and ten miles away." Cao Xun said with a smile: "To be honest, I have been fighting with Lu Li for so many years!" That's why I haven't come to see you. ”

"Xiaoxiao is too skinny, and he has been messing around since he was a child." Yu Fang didn't expect that the first batch of New Year's greetings would come so early this year? This would have been unthinkable in previous years! Now it seems that this is still brought to this family by Xiaoxiao? "How are your parents?"

"It's all good, it's all good," Cao Xun said a few words, and someone knocked on the door again, it was Liang Wei and Liang Xin, sisters and brothers, sat down and said a few words, Xu Yunjian arrived again, followed by Zhang Qing, Zhang Hao, Li Xiaoping and others, more than a dozen young men gathered in the room, and there was no place to turn around.

Luli was very surprised, why did these people come together? "Yu Fang, give the children hot dishes, scald some wine, let's take Xiaoting to her grandmother's house in a while."

"Okay."

Zhang Luo was angry, the husband and wife said goodbye to everyone, and hid out with their daughter, there are adults here, and the children can't let go, once they leave, the room becomes their world, "Little brother," Liang Xin is a few years older, the longer he grows, the more beautiful he becomes, he seems to have inherited all the advantages of his parents and three sisters, and he is a famous beautiful man in Long March Middle School! "Little brother, I will graduate from junior high school next year, how about going to Tangshan too? Looking for you then? ”

"Okay, why not? I will give you the Lord for the little one. When the time comes, let's eat rice in a horse spoon, we can't make a mistake. ”

"Hey, Liang Xin's name is good, Xu Yunjian, don't be small, small, in the future, you will call him little brother, how about it, brothers?"

"Good!" As soon as the public promises were made, the title was decided.

Luli smiled wryly, "That's right,...... How do you ...... How did you get together? ”

"Look at you! When you were in Tangshan, I wanted you to protect the big guy, and this time when I went back to the city, I had to give you some face, so that you could grow a little face in front of your uncle's family! Zhang Hao, Li Xiaoping and Liang Wei are not counted. Cao Xun grinned and said, "It's just a few of us." ”

Half a year has passed, the original group of young people, has a different home, Li Xiaoping is studying in the police academy, Liang Wei and Zhang Hao are in high school in the Long March Middle School, taking advantage of the rare reunion in the New Year, there is infinite joy in each other's hearts, after the happiness, everyone is drinking, eating vegetables, and Kan Dashan indiscriminately, "Little brother, we have the most active brains here, tell me, how will we be in the future?" ”

How does Luley answer such a topic? Who can have a pair of sharp eyes to see through the situation? "Can you still ...... Why? I...... I'm I'm going to fix it...... Earth. Answering the call to ...... in rural areas Bottom rooted! He said, "Although we have different paths, we ...... I think as long as ...... If you do it well, you won't be afraid...... No ...... out Head of the day! ”

"Nonsense! Who doesn't know that? With you say? Tell me something real. ”

"Really? You guys...... Want me to ...... Say? Okay, let's talk about it...... Really. Lu Li's brain moved, and he gradually retracted his smile, "Today's words, no one can say anything." ”

"If you don't say it, whoever says it, whoever is rotten!" As soon as a word came out, Cao Xun received a heavy punch from Liang Wei, "Phew! Do you speak human words? How do you fill your mouth with furnace ash? ”

In the midst of laughter, Lu Li said slowly: "You know Zhao Min, right?" She was going to go to Tangshan with me, but she persuaded me later. Well, that's the case, I think that in the future, under the call of the great leader, the country will get better and better, and one of them is that the use of talents who have studied may be paid more and more attention! Didn't his old man also say that 'Lao Jiu can't go'? Think about it, isn't that the truth? ”

"Well, well, that makes sense, you go on."

"So I thought, it's impossible to read a book...... Wrong, we don't mention a few of us who went to the countryside, Zhang Hao, Liang Wei, and Liang Xin, you continue to read, the deeper you read, the better, the more the better. Even if you have to go to the countryside in the end? It's also useful, don't believe it, you ask Cao Xun them, merchant Lin Na, how many people know how many words? By extension, we can see that the rest, nearly five or six hundred million peasants in China, are illiterate! Think about it, "What is this?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xiaoping took a big sip of wine, "Little brother is right, I'm in the police academy now, although I can't get in touch with the outside yet, but listen to my father, it's the same reason, it's still more than studying, this thing is the same as the so-called Yiduo is not pressing, there is no harm!" ”

Zhang Hao picked up his wine glass and touched it with him, "I also agree." ”

Liang Xin looked disapproving, "I don't read, I will graduate from junior high school next year, and I will go to my little brother." What's the use of reading that? It's all from some bad molecules. ”

Everyone is not forced, in this era when reading is useless, it is Liang Xin's opinion, which represents the majority of people. "Come on, don't talk so much, hey, Liang Wei, why don't you speak? As far as you're a female general, you have to give your opinion? ”

Liang Wei's clear eyes flashed with water, and she rolled her eyelids upwards from time to time, and she had been listening to Lu Li's words, and at this moment it was like waking up from a dream, "Oh, Lu Li said it very well, I listened to it." Don't say it, his brain is spinning fast. is worthy of the naughty mischief who made his fortune back then. ”

Everyone laughed!

Liang Wei didn't smile, looked at him with straight eyes, and said in a low voice: "The teacher also said at the beginning that if Lu Li is willing to take out half of the energy he has been messing around with all day and use it in his studies, he will be a top-notch." ”

Lu Li avoided the other party's forced gaze at the right time, this kind of look made him feel strange, "By the way, I want to ...... Thirteen went back, before going back, buy some snacks and glutinous rice balls, which can't be eaten in the village. Let's try it out. ”

"Okay, listen to you."

"And, I...... The third year of junior high school to go to ...... Hedong, well, go to relatives, and go to see Luo Yaohua...... How many of them are brothers, who is with me? ”

"If you just go to their house and go with you, and hang out? Pull it down. ”
