Limu walked up the bamboo mud slope, and on the right was the door of the Li family's courtyard. The men gathered around the fire grabbed the chickens and ducks by the necks and soaked them in a large pot of hot water, while the women waited in pots to pluck the feathers. Li Xiuli greeted Limu as soon as possible and blamed him for not paying New Year's greetings to his uncle and uncle.

Immortal people -- it's hard to understand what kind of people they are just by listening to the description, and they certainly don't exist. Even if people who listened carefully to Li Huasheng and Li Yuansheng's explanations, they still can't guess what kind of impression it is.

I grabbed the pear wood and made a careful identification.

“…… It's really a pear wood!" The sixth aunt paused for a moment and shouted.

"Wow-like-!" The fourth aunt lifted the chicken's neck, bent down to Limu, and took a look.

Riki blinked.

The fourth aunt turned his head to look at the New Year's painting on the gate of the compound, which was mimeographed with the golden boy and jade girl wishing the New Year, and then turned his head to look at Limu.

"--Like! It's so similar! "Except that the gold thread money pattern on the clothes is not the same, the people and paintings are exactly the same.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the children have changed a lot." The second aunt, who was sitting on a stool and chatting with the third aunt, spat out a smoke ring and sighed.

Riki reluctantly walked back to her mother so that she would not be watched like a monkey. Originally, the first element of recognizing a person was to look at the clothes, then to look at the person's gait and posture, and finally to the face shape. It is common to see a person from a long distance, and to see the clothes that person is wearing, you can roughly call the name from a distance.

But today I am wearing a new dress that my mother bought, which is completely different from the previous style. Speaking of gait, if you let yourself a 31-year-old uncle jump up on one foot, land on one foot, and jump uphill like a child - what kind of shame is playing! Now I walk step by step, and my temperament is definitely different from that of a child.

"Is Ah Hui still gambling money? Did you win a fortune recently? The third aunt interjected slightly.

No one in the village buys children's clothes in red clothes and black pants.

Although my wife and sister are more profitable to drive a taxi, this kind of clothing is only worn a few times around the New Year. Buy loose clothes that don't look good on the body, buy children's clothes that fit just right like now, and the clothes will become tight when the child grows in the second year, and the child is reluctant to wear tight clothes. Therefore, almost no one wants to buy this kind of "one-time surname" clothes that are worn almost only on New Year's Day.

But the New Year really lets the child wear it, and it really has an indescribable New Year's flavor.

"You don't know this, Limu can make money by painting now, earning more than 5,000 yuan a month, hiring a nanny, and now Xiuli doesn't have to drive, and is raised by her son at home!" Li Yuansheng said enviously.

In their mouths, Katsunan changed from a guard to a bodyguard, and from a bodyguard to a nanny......

As for Li Xiuli. Anyway, selling paintings in Limu is not a secret that needs to be kept, and I usually treat my mother's family as long as I am not asked. I was signed today, and after some questioning, the sisters had already "inquired clearly" about the situation, and they all held back until Limu came back to give the men a fatal blow.

"Huh!?"

"You don't have to go to work, you're raised by pear wood?"

"Gan sharp?"

The uncles were dumbfounded.

The sixth aunt even slapped his nephew on the shoulder, who was a little proud, and twisted his body to the side of the big victorious man.

I saw Da Shengnan holding an ink painting in both hands, and the ink on the rice paper had dried, but it was not suitable to roll it into a tube for the time being with a little moisture.

"Did you draw this?" The sixth aunt asked, pointing to it.

There are only two bamboos in the painting, the upper part is not visible, the lower part is not the root, interspersed with branches and leaves, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, tortuous and remote, enough to give birth to a vast artistic conception with endless aftertaste. In the painting, the two bamboos have shades of ink, the next brush is like heavy and light, and the reverse goes back and forth, and the thickness is thick and thin, and there is no glory and withering, only the meaning of constantly striving for height.

Right Book:

[Spring is coming in the Year of the Rabbit, and thousands of families are laughing.

[The grandmother is not old, and the children and grandchildren are filial piety.

[Bamboo bulletin, wealth is abundant, life is high, and Fuhai is high. 】

The people present were all coarse, and they didn't know about vassal elegance, and they didn't know how to read and comment on poles, knots, branches, cloth industry, bamboo, etc., but they also knew that this painting could be sold for at least two or three hundred yuan.

"Good drawing, good drawing! Mom, did you say yes? Li Yuansheng asked her mother who was standing aside.

"Good drawing, well, good drawing." He Hui looked at it seriously, and praised it. In fact, she and her husband Li Dongsheng are not cultural people, and they have no experience in appreciating, but they are just praising their little grandson.

"This is a New Year's picture for my grandparents."

The seal engraving [limu] may be a bit non-mainstream, and the grape is only decent and not calligraphy. However, the two bamboos are very well painted, implying that the two old people of the Li family are young and long-lived, and the branches and leaves are full of children and grandchildren.

"It's a good painting, remember to take it to the lobby to ......frame it later," someone suggested.

Unanimously praised by everyone, Limu didn't need to check to know that the regular task had been successfully completed.

"You can make money for your family at such a young age, Riki is in the third grade this year, right?" My uncle's question was very commonplace.

The women stared at his face with expectant expressions.

"I was in fifth grade and she was my classmate."

"This, this—" The uncles were surprised, didn't they say it was the nanny?

They looked sideways at the woman in surprise, and then suddenly realized. That's when the women bared their fangs at them—

"Dumbfounded, we were shocked when we found out."

Everyone looked at Da Shengnan together, and it was hard to imagine that she was a fifth-grader, and she could knock herself down with a slap.

Then, perhaps due to the spotlight effect, Da Shengnan judged what to say, so she began her mechanical recitation out of place: "Happy New Year to uncles and aunts, first time we met, my name is Da Shengnan, I am a classmate of Limu, I live in Pingnan Hou Village, and I study in Pingnan Primary School......"

…… It's the first time we've met.

No matter what the process was, she was able to receive the same amount of red envelopes as Limu, perhaps because the money in the red envelopes was relatively small, and the adults were very generous and did not feel distressed. The red envelopes originally reserved were used to deal with this kind of emergency, and it can be said that everything was expected by them.

When the turmoil passed, the sixth aunt hung the [Bamboo Report Wealth] into the inner hall, and the women also began to cook and pluck chicken feathers. Although the number of people at the Li family's New Year's banquet is much smaller than that of the pear family, there is only one pot for stir-frying, and the dishes that should be prepared in advance must be made in advance.

The details of the division of labor among the people are all the work that they have negotiated and received, and it is not said that the mother of a family or the father of a family forcibly let them do this and that. The men who had had enough rest helped move out the large round table and carried the heavy main chair out of the small utility room; The women, on the other hand, do the delicate work that requires patience, sitting together to wash and pick vegetables......

Seeing their faces chatting happily while cooking, Riki nodded, and turned around with Katsuo to join the children's play team.

――Grandma's house is the mother's home......

In the pear family's New Year banquet, even if ten or eight more Dasheng men are invited to help, it is not necessarily that the mother will be as happy and laughing as she is now.
