Chapter 588. The door is like a city
When I returned to Nandu, it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and I had already begun to visit relatives according to the rules. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the only male member of the Lin family, Lin Yi took the lead and began to carry gifts around and visit relatives.
Speaking of this visit to relatives, Lin Yi remembers clearly that when he was a child, it was the happiest thing to visit relatives, with delicious food and New Year's money. Especially at that time, the people were very simple, and the relatives were very sincere and enthusiastic. Often relatives don't see each other for a year, and they are all very affectionate. Some relatives even stood at the door of the house or at the gate of the village, waiting for the relatives to come.
At that time, the gifts brought by relatives were also very special, which were biscuits wrapped in coarse paper, which were simple and easy to take out, because everyone had nothing to compare. Gradually, paper-wrapped biscuits are not popular, or they are eliminated, and they have become boxes of instant noodles, cooking oil, and boxes of eggs, which are very difficult to consign.
In addition, the feeling of visiting relatives is gradually becoming boring and tasteless. A lot of people no longer walk around each other and instead call each other to say hello. Even if you are walking, you are still walking, and you can sit for a while and leave. Walk casually, greet casually.
Family affection and enthusiasm have become more and more indifferent and weaker in the development and change of society; During the Chinese New Year, the movement between relatives and friends has become a burden and burden, especially in those cities, people have become self and become philistine, even if they want to move around each other, it is also a trend to compare and put the word in front. Sometimes Lin Yi doesn't know whether this is the progress of the development of social civilization or the regression of human feelings.
However, compared with the people in the city who regard "going to relatives" as a burden, spending money in vain, or simply seeing it as a means to select rich friends and noble relatives, people in the countryside still seem so kind and simple to go to relatives.
……
Lin Yi brought gifts, first swept around the village, and sent them almost door to door. Because there are basically food and drink in the countryside, such as what eggs, edible oil, and instant noodles are very inappropriate, which makes Lin Yi and his mother very sad, thinking about what the big guy lacks? Just give the money, it's not very good-looking. The last thought was to give some practical gifts, so Lin Yi purchased a large number of small household appliances such as induction cookers and electric kettles. Why send these? The reason is that many people are accustomed to burning stoves at home, and rarely use energy-saving and environmentally friendly induction cookers. Besides, sometimes it is also troublesome to boil water to cook a meal, but it is more convenient to use an induction cooker.
Unexpectedly, such a New Year's gift was very popular with the old folks, and after some of them were sent over, they simply pulled Lin Yi not to leave, and boiled water to make poached eggs before they were released. In this way, Lin Yi originally planned to finish the relatives in the village in the morning, but he didn't expect to walk for two days.
Lin Yi was relieved to finally finish his relatives, but then someone else came to his house to visit his relatives, there were so many people, it was like a city, and the people from the surrounding villages, as well as the village chief, township head, leading cadres, etc., who didn't know Lin Yi at all, all came over. No way, who made Lin Yi so famous now. Everyone wants to get to know him, after all, he is a celebrity in these ten miles and eight villages.
For this reason, Lin Yi was very busy, but fortunately, in addition to these sudden guests, there were some that Lin Yi was particularly happy to see, including Lao Cao, Lao Huang, Professor Sun of the museum, and even Xu Tianyou's unreliable guy also came.
said that Xu Dashao is unreliable, in fact, that was in the past, and now Xu Dashao has inherited a department store from his father Xu Haoming, from a vendor who drives a stall to sell soy sauce to become the president of a department store.
In addition, Xu Dashao came to Lin Yi's house this time with his newlywed wife, and the beautiful Lin Yi also knew Han Meimei, who was responsible for receiving their food and living when she was in Hong Kong.
Originally, when he was in Hong Kong, Xu Dashao set his sights on this innocent and lovely girl, and after returning home, he used his family connections to transfer Han Meimei back to the mainland from Hong Kong, and then placed it near the waterfront terrace to the department store he took over, and then ...... Success will come when conditions are ripe..
Xu Haoming is not the kind of stubborn person, and he doesn't have any views on the door, not to mention that in his opinion, his family itself is also from a poor family, and he can't talk about any bloodline or bloodline, so he doesn't care much about Han Meimei's family background.
On the contrary, Xu Dashao's mother felt that her son was a little cheaper to find such a girl, because she had helped her son introduce several families to everyone, and the ladies were not successful, and the woman disliked Xu Dashao's hanging. Xu Dashao himself, he likes to mess with flowers and grass, and goes to bars and other places to pick up girls, which is very improper. So Xu Dashao's mother thought that this time her son was just playing, and she didn't have any sincerity, but she didn't expect Xu Dashao to be bent on marrying Han Meimei. In this way, a very bloody family drama was staged, and his mother's opposition made Xu Dashao try his best, resorted to all kinds of flattering methods, and took Han Meimei to overcome obstacles, and finally completed his life's event.
In this regard, Xu Dashao was very proud in front of Lin Yi, no, not just pride, it was simply sullen. In his opinion, he finally has one thing stronger than Lin Yi, earlier than Lin Yi got married.
……
Lin Yi took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Dashao, and her mother Zhang Cuihua was greeting Han Meimei like a daughter. Lin Yi whispered something to Xu Dashao and asked him why he didn't tell him when he got married. Xu Dashao said, when I got married, you told you a Mao in the capital, besides, my father said that you are better than me, your affairs are important, let me take it easy, anyway, you can't escape this red envelope--- how about it, how much gift money are you going to give me? Lin Yi laughed and scolded, handing you a head, you didn't eat or drink, you just asked me for a red envelope.
Xu Dashao said that he brought his wife this time to ask for a red envelope, and if he didn't give it, he would not give up. Lin Yiwaner said that it was okay to want red envelopes, but he had to do one thing with him. Xu Dashao asked, what's the matter? Lin Yi shushed and said, secret.
Xu Dashao didn't understand what Lin Yi was doing, but for the sake of the rich red envelope, he let Lin Yi drive the car, took some food and drink, and some messy things, and took Xu Dashao all the way along the country road in one direction.
Along the way, Xu Dashao asked east and west, but Lin Yi just didn't say what to do. made Xu Dashao more and more depressed. It wasn't until the car drove for about twenty or thirty minutes that Lin Yi said to Xu Dashao, "Oh, it's here."
Xu Dashao took a look and saw that it was very desolate outside, not like someone living here, but Lin Yi had already stopped the car and began to carry the grain, oil and other food and drink on the car, and told Xu Dashao to move other things down.
Could it be that you come here to visit relatives? There are also too many things to bring. Xu Dashao muttered in his heart.
Carrying heavy gifts such as grain and oil, Xu Dashao followed Lin Yi's ass and walked forward, the surroundings were still very desolate, leaving a few lonely adobe houses, all of which were dilapidated and looked like a deserted village.
Walking into this small village, from time to time a few sparrows, quails and other birds flew out of the barren grass, which made Xu Dashao's eyes hot, and said that he would come over with an air gun to fight a few when he had time; Walking inside, it turned out to be a desolate and desolate tomb, several small graves in the shape of steamed buns were so clubbed, Xu Dashao's heart was beating, and he said why did Lin Yi bring himself to this place, did he come to the grave to worship his relatives? But this is too much of a chatter, it looks mysterious.
Just when Xu Dashao was full of doubts and looked at this barren grave with a belly full of drums, Lin Yi, who was walking in front, said that it had arrived.
Dizzy, is it really to come to the grave? What can you do with so much grain and oil? Could it be that this buried poor relative still lacks food and drink underground, or knows how to use grain and oil to make stir-fried vegetables and steamed nests?
