Chapter 240: Chinese New Year
After dinner, the girls and their mothers hid in the room to chat, and only Sun Feng and his father were left in the large living room, as well as the father-in-law and Wu Mengxin's father, who were here to chat with the villagers.
"Big nephew, you've heard about opening a company now, isn't it true?" Uncle Sun of the house next door asked with a big sigh of smoke from Sun Feng.
"Well, sort of, a little fight." Sun Feng nodded.
"What company?" Another elder asked.
"Opened a steel mill in Haiyan City." Sun Feng said, as for the other companies, he didn't plan to say it.
"Yo, eldest nephew, you are amazing, you have opened a steel factory, eh, uncle wants to ask if your factory is still recruiting? My two dogs came back without a job in the second half of this year. I thought, eldest nephew, if your factory doesn't accept people, let him try it. Uncle Sun asked cheekily.
"Accept it, there are still a few positions missing, if the second dog can bear hardships and stand hard work, you can try it." For this kind of thing, Sun Feng can't bear to refuse, of course, if the other party wants to mess around, I'm sorry, this kind of person can't afford to be invited.
"Is it hard?"
"It's quite hard, it's manual work." Sun Feng said that at present, steel mills need porters when feeding materials and producing finished products, and the others are basically not recruited.
"Is there anything easier about that, like being a group leader or something?" Uncle Sun continued to ask cheekily. If it's hard work, it's better to go into an electronics factory to do it, easy, although overtime. The salary is also three or four thousand.
"Not really, yes. The security guard is relatively easy, and the salary is about 2,000 a month. Sun Feng frowned.
"Security guards, the salary is a little less." The old man rubbed his hands. It's a little disgusting, easy is easy, but the salary is low.
"Uncle, let me tell you this, if you want to be a manager, you need ability, and you can't do it without relatively professional ability." Sun Feng was speechless, the people in the village were like this. I always want to get the best, but the reality is like this, Sun Feng also wants to help, but you don't have the ability, when the time comes, you will be given a position, but it will be dragged to the company.
"Big nephew, can you get through the back door, you are the boss of the company, and it's not up to you to decide everything?" This somewhat stubborn elder was reluctant to give up.
The small talk continued. chatting and chatting, Sun Feng began to have a little headache, this is not asking for a job, that is borrowing money, I didn't see them come to visit in previous years. Now that it's a success, everyone is here to join in the fun.
Finally, after sending these uncles and aunts away. Before going to the bath to sleep, at night. The little broken child was taken by his grandmother, and the old man has a better set of children. So He Minyi can be considered more relaxed at night. In the days after giving birth, He Minyi was very happy, accompanying her son every night, but the good times didn't last long, the little broken child made trouble here and there in the middle of the night every day, either or pee, either hungry or woke up, or cried all the time, and Sun Feng and her barely slept well.
On the bed, Sun Feng hugged He Minyi and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, we haven't had anything for a long time, can you see it tonight?" ”
"Get out of the way, you want to kill my mother?" He Minyi glared at Sun Feng and directly left Sun Feng with a back.
"Okay, I'll bear with it!" Now that Yang Xue and Liang Ying are pregnant, they can't do anything, even if they can, they can't do it until three months after the pregnancy, and they can't do that in the first few months of pregnancy.
"Wu Mengxin, that girl, you can think about it." He Minyi said coldly.
"Daughter-in-law, you really understand me!"
"Sleep!"
The next day, Sun Feng took a wave of people to take a good walk around his hometown, allowing them to appreciate the customs and customs of the poor mountainous areas, not to mention, these city people are really interested in these poor mountains and bad waters.
Especially the two goods of the cheap old man, saying that he would move here as a neighbor after retirement, Sun Feng was not happy at that time, so wouldn't the widows in the village suffer?
There are still a few days to go is Chinese New Year's Eve, on this day Sun Feng plans to take his parents and cheap old men to the market to buy New Year's goods, cigarettes, wine, those Sun Feng have bought, but the food has not been bought, and the girls will take the little broken children at home.
New Year's goods are nothing more than fruits, chickens, ducks, fish, fireworks, couplets and so on, which seem to be nothing, but a bunch of purchases and stuff the business car to the brim
In the morning, Sun Feng was still sleeping lazily with He Minyi in his arms, and there was a knock on the door at eight o'clock.
"Ah Feng, hurry up and kill chickens and geese, and get ready to worship God!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
The door was slammed.
The little couple who were still sleeping in a daze were woken up.
"My father-in-law called you, hurry up and get out, tell you to kill the chicken!" He Minyi pushed Sun Feng and said.
"What, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today, it's really fast." Sun Feng rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and began to get dressed, he knew that the countryside had to worship God during the New Year's holidays, and this matter could not be delayed, although he was not superstitious, but this was an old custom set by his ancestors.
As soon as I went out, I saw my father waiting there with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Little rabbit, I don't know if it's the New Year's Day today, I still want to sleep lazy, so hurry up and wash up and eat." Lao Dou dropped a sentence and patted his ass and learned how to identify antiques with the cheap old man.
Soon Sun Feng finished breakfast and began to kill chickens and geese, this kind of work will be done when Sun Feng is in elementary school, after all, the children of poor families are in charge of the family early. There are like today's children, all like emperors at home, they don't know anything, they know how to eat!
It didn't take long for several women to get up one after another, one by one with curiosity watching Sun Feng kill chickens and fish or something, they are all girls in the city, these things are rarely seen, and some are estimated to have never seen them.
But Liang Ying is an exception, she is also a child from the countryside and began to help Sun Feng on the side. Sun Feng often sees some women on TV, and even some difficult ones, what is afraid of small animals, afraid of poultry, afraid of this and that, he thinks it is too TM hypocritical. I fainted when I saw blood, and if I put these people in the desert to survive for a day, I would probably hang up.
Worship the gods, that is, use the whole chicken, pork, and some vegetables, fruits, etc., to go to the temple, or the place where the mountain god is located to worship, and the place of the ancestral hall, incense, and then light the cannon after the worship is completed.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a group of people are very happy and harmonious, especially Sun Feng's father, you can drink casually tonight, as much as you want.
"Come on, come on, let's raise a glass and wish ourselves 16 years of good health, smooth work, and family happiness!"
"My family, the chicken raised by your family is delicious, even the pork is the same, it is very flavorful, unlike the kind of meat in our city, scum, just like eating tofu, there is no feeling." The most satisfying thing these days is the food in the countryside, whether it is meat, vegetables and fruits, they are full of praise.
"Haha, I'll come to the countryside to play in the future." The two old men now smell like each other and get along very well.
A ton of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten for almost two hours, and after eating, it was only more than five o'clock in the evening.
There are no activities for the New Year in rural areas, except for basketball games held after the first day of junior high school, there are no other major activities. In addition to chatting at the door, it is to play mahjong, play cards and gamble for money. Either it's to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
After the second year of junior high school, it is to go to relatives and relatives, go to their parents' house to their parents' house, and wait until the eighth or ninth year of junior high school, and the people who work will go down to work again.
"Hey, who wants to make glutinous rice balls later?" After eating, my father took a few old people to visit the door, and the mother and a few daughters were left at home, the south is not like the north, and the dumplings should be eaten during the New Year.
"I want to learn, I want to learn!" Wu Mengxin and Su Mei are competing to learn, and among a group of women, the two of them can't do anything, by the way, there is also He Minyi, but now He Minyi is not free, and she swims around with the little broken child to coax him to sleep.
"Okay, when I'm done grinding, I'll teach you how to make it." Glutinous rice is not made with flour, but with glutinous rice, which is ground into flour and then kneaded with water to form a dough.
"You guys watch the Spring Festival Gala first, it's about ten o'clock in the evening, and after it's done, you can eat it again at home at twelve o'clock, and there are fireworks." Mom laughed.
"Yes, yes, yes, fireworks, I like it." For the romantic thing like fireworks, the girl likes it the most.
"We can also put it in front of us now, have a good time, and after 12 o'clock, we are going to set off fireworks in a group." Sun Feng proposed.
"Okay, let's go, let's set off the fireworks."
It's already past seven o'clock, and it's completely dark, which is suitable for fireworks. In the past, during the New Year's holidays, every household bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers. At night, it will be better than who has more fireworks, whose fireworks fly high and blow up beautifully!
For Chinese New Year's Eve, it is always the richest ones who can have the last laugh, because they buy the most, the best, and the longest, directly from 12 o'clock at midnight to 1 o'clock in the morning or even longer.
Of course, no one cares about such dangers and pollution in rural areas.
This year passed happily, the new year is coming, early in the morning, the elders get up to give out red envelopes, each has a share, when other people's children come, they also have to send to others. Sun Feng is also a family now, even if he is starting a family, he also has to start giving red envelopes according to the custom, and they are all sent to his juniors.
As the days passed, Sun Feng's family not only came to some relatives, but also went to some relatives' houses to congratulate them, and before they knew it, it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. During this period, Sun Feng gave 500,000 yuan to each of his relatives who used to help his family, which can be regarded as repaying them for taking care of Sun Feng's family over the years. For the kind of relatives who were cold to Sun Feng's family in the past, he would not choose to give each other a penny.
It's not that Sun Feng is stingy, it's a matter of principle.
(It's almost the Chinese New Year, are you going home?) Or are you ready to go home? I wish you all the best and go home for a big fat year! (To be continued.) )
