Chapter 103: New Year's Money
Dragged Rebus up from the ground, this guy had already kowtowed five or six times, and Li Xiaopang only knew when he asked that this guy's reason was very strong, saying that he wanted to follow the local customs.
"Pull it down, just like you, don't scare my ancestor." was stirred up by him like this, and Li Xiaopang's mood was much better. Originally, there was no contradiction between paying tribute to ancestors and celebrating the New Year with Lele.
At breakfast, Rebus was still inking: "The little monkey can kowtow, why can't I?" ”
"I know why it's called Monkey Sanno, I'm now the owner of this house, Yaya ranks second, and Little Monkey ranks third." After Li Xiaopang explained to him the special status of Monkey Three, he told Yaya and Monkey Three: "For a while, go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings, remember, you need two New Year's money!" "According to the custom here, all those in a tunzi are Chinese New Year's Eve begging for money.
Li Xiaopang is not for the money, it is mainly a ritual: my Li Xiaopang's family can also send representatives of the younger generations to pay New Year's greetings to the fathers and villagers!
"Let's start at home, I'm ready for the New Year." Old man Wu and the old god are sitting on the kang on the ground, really like an old lady.
Monkey San was the most clever, ran to the kang, knelt in front of Old Man Wu, knocked his head three times, and then handed his little paw forward, and after pulling it back, there was a pile of hundred-yuan bills inside.
"It's too much-" Li Xiaopang reached out and grabbed the money and counted it, exactly a thousand yuan.
Old Man Wu waved his hand: "It's not much, and how much money is not all for children and grandchildren." ”
Li Xiaopang used the wad of money to knock on Monkey San's brain: "Then I'll help you save it first, if you have a lot of money, you will scatter it." ”
The little monkey is also the master who sees the money, of course he doesn't do it, jumping up and down and screaming in his mouth. Li Xiaopang's eyes glared: "I'm keeping a daughter-in-law for you!" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and finally Li Xiaopang still took out one from it and gave it to Monkey San, and then the little monkey went to kowtow to Professor Wang again, and got ten big bills.
Yaya is the same, kowtowing to Old Man Wu and Professor Wang respectively. Old Man Wu smiled and pointed at Li Xiaopang again: "And you?" ”
"I'm such a big person, so I'm exempt, right?" Li Xiaopang really didn't want to get mixed up with Monkey San.
"According to our rules, as long as you don't have a family, you are not a real adult." As soon as Old Man Wu said this, Li Xiaopang had no choice but to kowtow to the kang, and muttered in his mouth: "I wish you a happy new year and a long life!" ”
Old Man Wu twisted his beard: "If you live here for a few more years, it will definitely be no problem to live past a hundred years old-"
Subsequently, Wu Qingluanlin's sisters, including Qiqige, all gave New Year's greetings to the elders, and they were not used to kowtowing, so they said more auspicious words, and the New Year's money was also given.
"And me—" Rebus said with a strange emphasis, and he looked at him for a long time, as if he had nothing to do, and he couldn't help but be anxious.
Monkey San shook his little brain melon vigorously: What kind of money did you give to your couple last time, you can't spend it at all, and you will lose money by kowtowing to you.
Chinese New Year, who doesn't want to be happy, Li Xiaopang can't bear to hang him, so he also asked Yaya and Monkey San to kowtow to this bearded foreigner for New Year's greetings. Monkey San reluctantly took a Franklin card from Rebus's hand, and then stuffed it directly to Li Xiaopang.
"You, you, and you—" Rebus's beard trembled with joy as he pointed at Li Chubby. He saw it all just now, and the little fat man also kowtowed.
Pull it down, we belong to the New Year's friends, and the peers don't kowtow - Li Xiaopang asked Xiao Gezi to explain the rules of the game to him, and Rebus also admitted to death: "According to age, I belong to his elders." ”
Li Xiaofat didn't have so much leisure to take care of him, sent the maid and the monkey three out, and then began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. At the end of the year, this meal should be the most hearty.
Generally speaking, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should be in pairs, half hot and cold, or six against six, or eight against eight. Chickens and fish are necessary, and they must be put on it, and the picture is auspicious, symbolizing good fortune and more than one year in a row.
Since it is a whole chicken, Li Xiaopang decided to make smoked chicken, boiled first and then smoked, and did not use sugar to color when smoking, mainly using tea leaves and shredded green onions, to take the fragrance of the two.
As for the fish, three or four catties of big carp are stewed directly in a large pot for two or three hours, and the fish is the most delicious.
There are also a lot of ready-made cold dishes, including egg sausages sent by Li Daming, as well as pig's head stews and chisels sent by Uncle Biao, and then just make a few more things.
And Sister Lin is not willing to be lonely, pulling Xiao Gezi and Wu Qingluan, she also has to show her skills and make a dish by herself. Li Xiaopang looked at her holding a kitchen knife with a posture of wanting to cut people, and felt a little suspenseful in her heart: Can you eat the dishes you made?
Everyone was busy, and they saw Yaya pulling the monkey Sanle and running back. Yaya handed a large pile of five and ten yuan bills to the little fat uncle, pressing the New Year's money, I don't care how much, the main thing is that the younger generation pays New Year's greetings to the elders.
Monkey San patted his coat pocket, indicating that he had no money. Li Xiaopang didn't believe it, and searched his body thoroughly, but he didn't find it. Look at Yaya, the little girl just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Confess leniently, resist strictly, don't you know?" Li Xiaopang patiently enlightened the monkey three, and the little monkey just shook his head.
At this time, as soon as the door of the house opened, Qingzile ran in, holding a plastic bag in his mouth, and handed it to Li Xiaopang, and after opening it, it was full of money.
"It's still my family's Qingzi, I'll give you big bones to eat in a while!" Li Xiaopang patted Qingzi's head, and it was obvious that the little monkey was worried that the New Year's money would be searched, so he hid it in the kennel, and was sold by Qingzi.
Monkey San was also so angry that he bared his teeth and grinned for a while, and then ran out again, and was dragged back by Li Xiaopang: "It's not a shame to lose it, you don't have to ask for it again - it's okay, you can keep it yourself." ”
took the money and stuffed it into the treasure chest under the quilt cupboard, and the monkey three smiled. Since the last time I went to the county, the little monkey knew the great charm of banknotes, and gradually developed in the direction of small fortune fans.
As he was talking, there was a lot of noise outside, and a bunch of little dolls came in, shouting for the New Year's greetings to the little fat uncle. Li Xiaopang had already prepared it, and the family sent one, but it was all ten yuan. provoked Xiaohu and them to be very dissatisfied, pouting and muttering "little picking" or something. In their minds, Uncle Fat is the richest in the village.
"It's good to have money, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, it stands to reason that I am not qualified to pay New Year's money, so you can be content." Li Xiaopang really has no money, and his money has been taken out to contribute to the cooperative.
Teacher Kikige was generous and gave each student a hundred yuan. However, they were all taken back by Xiaoshan and stuffed into the teacher's hands.
"Give me—kowtow, have money—take—" Rebus waved a wad of bills, tempting the little dolls.
As a result, they suffered a lot of white eyes, and the little babies and Monkey San were classmates, so the worldview was the same: foreign money can't be spent!
A bunch of little fools, that's dollars, okay? Li Xiaopang couldn't wait to kick them one by one, and in the end, Qiqige gave the babies a look, and everyone gave Grandpa Rebus a New Year's greeting in unison.
Rebus laughed and gave each of them a hundred dollars: "It's the happiest Christmas I've ever had—"
"It's the New Year." Li Xiaopang did not forget to correct his mistakes.
The little babies were obviously not very interested, looking at the banknotes in their hands, Xiaohu muttered: "Why isn't this Grandpa Mao printed on it?" ”
"You just have fun, this bill is more than all your New Year's money." Li Xiaopang was really worried that these bear children didn't know the goods, so he asked the little grid to teach them a lesson, and the babies heard that this one was worth hundreds of yuan, and they immediately screamed with joy, and ran away without a trace, and went to another house to pay New Year's greetings.
After a while, there were little babies coming one after another, making a special trip to Rebus to pay New Year's greetings. Among children, what news spreads the fastest? As a result, Rebus spent more than $3,000 in a few moments.
made Li Xiaopang a little embarrassed, mixed one among the babies, pulled out the second reward, bullied foreigners and didn't recognize people, and he couldn't be so foolish.
In fact, Li Xiaopang also understands these little babies quite well, why wasn't this the case when he was young. I remember one time when someone in the village had a happy event. Because there are many people, they generally eat three or four rounds. Li Xiaopang followed the two friends, wanting to eat and drink at the table every round, but as soon as he sat on it in the second round, he was found out by someone in charge, and he felt embarrassed at the time, but now it is a good memory.
Coming and not being rude has always been the most simple concept of the Chinese, and after those little babies come home and show the special New Year's money, the village also understands that this banknote is worth a lot. So they all brought things to visit Rebus, a foreigner.
Some took dried mushrooms, some took sun-dried wild vegetables, and a few sent more than a dozen eggs, and there were some blood streaks stuck to the eggshells. Now that spring has just begun, the chicks at home lay eggs early, and they have opened their crotch one after another, and generally the first egg of the year is more difficult when it comes out, usually with blood.
After a while, Rebus put a lot of things in front of him, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut, saying that he must take them with him when he returned: "This is the most precious gift I have ever received!" ”
Li Xiaopang's heart is also much calmer: Fortunately, the villagers are simple enough, and they know the simple truth of changing people's hearts for people's hearts, and eight taels for half a catty, otherwise, they will throw people abroad.
Just as he was pondering, Biao Ye pushed the door into the house, raised his big finger at Rebus, and then handed him a wool vest: "This is made of wolf skin, and it will be fine to sleep in the snow den when he wears it." ”
After listening to Xiao Gezi's translation, Rebus waved his hand again and again: "I am an animal protectionist, I don't wear animal fur, I accept your wishes." ”
"Foreigners don't know the goods." Biao Ye shook his bald head, picked up his things and left. Then he was stopped by Li Xiaopang: "Why didn't you say this good thing earlier, keep it for Lao Hu, change two knee pads, he has old cold legs." ”
"Okay!" Biao Ye agreed.
While speaking, Li Da Ming also came in with a large glass bottle, saying that he was sending wine to foreigners. Li Xiaopang wondered: "Uncle Understand, you don't have a doll at home, so you confiscate the New Year's money?" ”
"New Year's Day, don't open any pot and mention which pot, I'm not thinking that the old thunder man is good." Li Da understands the regret of this life, that is, he has no children.
Rebus is also a good drinker, and he thanked him repeatedly. Li Da understood and whispered in his ear for a while, but the foreigner couldn't understand it. Looking for a little grid to translate, Xiao grid ran to the outhouse with a red face and cooked.
In the end, Professor Wang explained to Rebus, saying that this wine is a special medicinal wine that can improve the ability of men in some aspects.
Rebus is an old man, and after hearing this, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, and he and Li Daming chattered and studied there for a long time. Li Xiaopang's eyes were sharp, as if he saw Rebus stuffing a few small blue pills into Li Daming's hand, and then Li Daming left happily.
A couple of old and immodest - Li Xiaopang couldn't help muttering in his heart.
