The Spring Festival of 1973 kicked off in the aroma of various steaming, frying and cooking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the morning, Zhang Tian's Zhang family got up early and started cleaning the house for a day, and before the third year of junior high school, they could not sweep the floor, could not throw things out, including garbage, and could not work, which was a rule handed down by their ancestors.

It is said that sweeping the floor on this day will sweep away all the good luck and wealth of the year.

And before the third year of junior high school, I was eating, drinking, and playing, and if I worked these days, I would have worked hard all year long.

Even though the work to break down feudal superstitions has been going on for years, these traditions have not been lost.

Therefore, a few days ago, Zhang Qing and Tian Yuliang were at home and outside the house, and all the repairs that should be repaired and the construction that should be built must be completed before the 30th century, and there will be some finishing work left until today.

Li Ying asked Xi'er not to do anything today, and went into the kitchen to start pancakes and boil mush.

The old man took his grandchildren and began to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Zhang Qing's father and son are also busy with this matter, and it is estimated that the whole village is busy with this matter.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Yi and Tian Cheng cut red paper, and the old man was responsible for writing couplets.

Zhang Qing and Tian Yuliang were instructed by Xi'er to surround a chicken house in the vegetable garden.

Today, not only is the door pasted with red couplets, but even the newly built chicken house is also written with the four big characters of "six animals are prosperous".

The door god was pasted on the black gate, and two big red lanterns were hung above the gate, Xi'er felt that the lanterns were festive, so she simply hung several small lanterns on the two crooked-necked jujube trees at the door of the house.

The smoke of the chimney cooks curling, and even if the morning fog has not dissipated, you can still feel the strong smell of the New Year.

Gu Liya and a group of young men have already put on their new clothes and started to come over to prepare for the reunion year.

Seeing them holding guitars and accordions, Dong Liang still has a small melodical organ in his hand, is there a big party tonight?

At this time, another family in the village was also laughing and happy.

"Silver bronze, hanging crookedly, a little to the left." Liu Ailing shouted as she stood behind a young junior.

The silver and copper in Liu Ailing's mouth turned her foot upside down, and moved a little to the left.

"Slow down, just a little bit, okay, right there!" Liu Ailing shouted crisply.

Although it was a winter morning, I didn't understand that the girl in front of me was tired from hanging lanterns, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, and her dark face was flushed.

Because of Gu Liya's special status, the village prepared a dormitory for her alone, and Liu Ailing arranged it in this family.

This family's surname is Miao, only one son, both husband and wife are very hardworking and capable, and their lives are relatively solid in the village.

The landlord's house is three rooms facing south, with a hall house in the middle, and one east and west, and Liu Ailing lives in the east one.

The courtyard in front of the house was cleaned up, and a few hens were leisurely foraging, and it seemed that they were the luckier ones.

In the center of the yard is a stout jujube tree, and everything looks in order.

Hanging lanterns and pasting couplets, the cheeks of the young men and women in front of them were also flushed.

"Xiaoling, the cake is ready, call Yintong to come over for breakfast together." A woman's voice came from the front room.

"Let's go, let's eat." Yintong heard his mother's voice, and cautiously peeked at the woman in front of him who looked like a fairy.

"Well, let's go. I'll have to chop the rest of the firewood later, and I won't be able to use the knife tomorrow. Liu Ailing smiled sweetly at the silver and copper.

Ouch mom, my heart is melting, my legs are soft, and my lower abdomen is hot......

Yintong couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva, and he didn't know which one to take with his hands and feet.

Liu Ailing took two steps, found that the person did not follow, turned around and pulled, "Let's go!" ”

"Oh oh oh~~" didn't notice the same hands and feet, Liu Ailing smiled secretly, and then quickly pursed her mouth and hid that shallow smile in the shadows.

Simple multigrain cake with polenta, a plate of white tofu, looking at the appetite is very good.

"Let's eat briefly in the morning, and wait for Xiaoling to help me cook the New Year's dinner. Yesterday I was almost ready, just take a hand. Miao Yintong's mother handed the bowl and chopsticks neatly, and did not forget to tell her son what to do next.

"There is a pile of firewood at the back of the house, you chop it, and you have to add vegetables to the brazier at night, otherwise it will be too cold to stand it. Your dad still has a section of the gutter that hasn't been dug in the afternoon, so he must finish it all today, and he will rest tomorrow. ”

The man of the Miao family is a taciturn person, he picked up the bowl and began to drink porridge, Tian Tongyin's mother and Xiaoling, you talk about it quite speculatively.

Tongyin's personality is a bit like his father, honest and honest, and he doesn't talk much.

Usually he works in the county 20 kilometers away, where there is a carpentry factory, and he is an apprentice inside.

This is the first of its kind in the village, so a small family like theirs can quickly gain a foothold in the village.

It is said that they moved down from the county, and many people do not understand that they do not live in a good county seat and come to the countryside to endure hardship.

But the lady of the Miao family can speak, and she diverted the topic in three or two sentences.

After a long time, everyone will understand that people are reluctant to say it.

Usually, their husband and wife are also very popular, do a favor, borrow a tool and never say a word, so everyone is very conscious not to poke other people's hearts.

At that time, the educated youth had no house to live in, and as soon as Secretary Gao told Miao Niangzi and his wife, they immediately nodded and agreed.

said that his son has been outside all the year round, and there are two husbands and wives at home, and many people are lively.

In this way, Liu Ailing moved into their house.

Fortunately, Liu Ailing is also a diligent person and has work in her eyes.

In addition, there is a subsidy for educated youth in the village, and Liu Ailing's share was naturally given to the Miao family, and it is suitable for both guests and hosts to get along in the past few months.

Tian Tongyin only came back on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a beautiful girl in the yard feeding the chickens, so frightened that he turned around and left.

If it weren't for the Miao family's lady who came out and saw it, she hurriedly shouted, I don't know if her son would turn around and go back to the county.

Even Liu Ailing was stunned, and a young man who was cold and strong broke in, didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Until the Miao family lady finished introducing her, Liu Ailing couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

There is such a shy young man, and the people he usually sees in the field are all men who never leave the meat jokes.

When I saw such a young man, I even felt a little incredible.

Liu Ailing said hello generously, waiting for Miao Tongyin's self-introduction.

As a result, he didn't say a word for a long time, but he blushed, which made his wife can't help laughing.

Busy joking, "My son has been more introverted since he was a child, this is to see that you are shy." ”

Liu Ailing didn't say anything, but she thought it was very novel.

After a few days of getting along, although Miao Tongyin still blushed at every turn when she saw Liu Ailing, at least she spoke more normally.

But as long as Liu Ailing gets a little closer, she will start to feel cramped and uneasy, and she doesn't know how to put her hands and feet.

Just like just now, but he pulled his sleeve and walked with the same hands and feet.

Liu Ailing suddenly teased him from time to time as if she had found a new toy, causing a big man to toss and turn in the middle of the night, and the flames were rising slowly.

Then before dawn, I secretly got up and washed my pants.

ps: I highly recommend the cat friend's era article "Pet Seven Seven", the story is as exciting, and the cat has also entered the pit.

Cat Niuer said

Here Mao'er specifically explains the issue of "grocery stores", because more than one friend in the comment area discussed this issue with me. In fact, when I wrote about this grocery store, I was also inspired by the memories of a young man who returned to the city after going to the countryside in Huaibei and was old. Then when I was writing the outline, I put this grocery store into the story, but as for whether it is real, I think there is no need for this educated youth to fabricate it when he wrote his memoirs, right? So, let's just look at it as a story, okay? The cat is also very entangled, because there is no way to verify whether the grocery store is true for the time being, so everyone will just see. After all, the cat only wrote this story through some literary history, and some questions may not be rigorous enough, but I hope you can bear with me!
