50 Returning Home for Chinese New Year (7)

Seven or eight-year-old nephew Sun Yang refused to go home with Yurong, and Sister Xiaoju came to pick her up, but she couldn't pick it up, so she had to go back with her daughter Sun Ying. Mother teased Sun Yang: If you like Aunt Yu so much, you will be your uncle's son, and let Aunt Yu take you to Jiangcheng after the New Year. Sun Yang jumped on his feet and clapped his hands with joy: You have to get it! Yu'er looked at Sun Yang with happiness on her face, and couldn't help but lean down and kiss him a few times on his pink tender face.

The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is a small year, sacrifice to the god of the stove, and ask him to go to heaven to say good things. It snowed heavily at night, and when I opened the door, there was a white expanse, boundless, only two rows of poplars on the machine ploughing road in the distance, dressed in silver and wearing the moon, standing proudly. In the rice field in front of the door, there is a flat field, the low is the field, the high is the ridge, and the straw stacks are one in the east and one in the west, but they are covered with thick snow. The snow covered the fields, the grains and insects on the rice stumps, and the flocks of birds flew up and down, unable to find a single thing to eat, hungry and quacking. Dad made a few straw handles, left a hole, put the grain, set up a tripwire, and sent it to the ridge, and soon flocks of birds came to peck at it.

Catch it! Catch it! Sun Yang stuck to Yurong at the door of the hall, jumping and clapping his hands, Fang Bin hurriedly ran out and untied it, it was a turtledove. Dad made a small cage for Sun Yang, put water and millet in it, put it in, and Sun Yang stayed by the side and guarded it carefully.

I was going to see my three aunts and two uncles during the New Year, but I didn't expect that they all came while it was snowing, carrying the New Year's goods made at home, holding Yurong's hand, and stuffing red envelopes one by one, Yurong was at a loss, looking at Fang Bin, and then looking at Fang Bin's mother.

Take it, Yurong! This is the heart of the elders, and it is also their precious you. The mother stood behind her relatives, beaming with joy. In Longyang, the new daughter-in-law came to the door for the first time, and the relatives and elders in the family more or less wanted to seal a red envelope.

Bin Lingzi, look at you such a smart person, it's a pity that you didn't go to college. The aunt took Fang Bin's hand and said to her father, brother, you too! You don't want Bin to repeat a year? There is a boy in my bay, who is worse than Bin Lingzi, Bin Lingzi is in No. 1 Middle School, he still studied in No. 6 Middle School, and he repeated his studies for two years, no, he was admitted to university this year, and he invited a play at home, and he also came to sing and dance. Fang Bin's family is a big family in the local area, one room and one branch are also very clear, and he likes to compare everything, Fang Bin has been obedient since he was a child, and his grades are good, and his aunts pin their hopes on him, but he didn't expect Fang Bin to be admitted to university, he went out to work early, and he couldn't afford to say hard words in vain.

Dick! Sister Xiaoju grabbed Fang Bin's hand, and tears flowed down involuntarily. She is busy at home, but she comes to her parents' house every few days, worrying about her parents, Yurong and Wenbin, and thinking about her naughty son. Although he is only a few years older than Fang Bin, he takes care of Fang Bin, when he was in high school in the county, the rice and grain paid to the school and the covered luggage were all sent by his sister on a bicycle. Although Fang Jun is an elder brother, he is afraid of his sister-in-law, his mouth is stupid, and he doesn't dare to send it if he wants to. I remember a heavy snowfall, Fang Bin had no money to eat, it was cold, he was only wearing two thin pants, the green nose was frozen out, after class at noon, the classmates all went to eat, he stayed in the classroom alone, and suddenly heard someone shouting at the door: Second child! As soon as Fang Bin turned around, he saw Sister Xiaoju covered in snowflakes, her hands were red from the cold, and the mud splashed on her thighs, standing at the door of the classroom. Fang Bin's nose was sour, he held his sister's hand, and tears welled up.

Sister, why are you crying? Fang Bin's feelings for Sister Xiaoju are much deeper than those for his brother, and when he saw his sister crying, he was extremely distressed.

Second child, your life is miserable! Reincarnated into such a father. Sister Xiaoju cried recklessly and refused to let go. Fang Bin looked at his parents and then at Yu'er, who lowered her head and didn't look at him. Fang Bin understood that it must have been Yu'er and Sister Xiaoju who said something, and he couldn't blame Yu'er, so he could only pat his sister's hand: Sister! What about the New Year, don't cry? smiled again, otherwise, how could I touch Yurong? Look at Sun Yang, she is so close to Yurong, she sleeps with her every day, and pesters Yurong to tell stories. Yu'er sneered: Sister Xiaoju, Sun Yang sleeps, very naughty.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Fang Jun ran to the county seat and brought back a color TV, and Sun Yang was so happy that he danced. It's a pity that there is no cable station in the township, and it can only rely on an antenna to receive signals.

The smell of the New Year in the countryside is very strong, and in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, from early morning to evening, firecrackers do not stop cooking porridge. In Longyang, the New Year's dinner is all about putting whips, and the time to eat is late or early. According to legend, in the early Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhang Xianzhong retreated SC, once there was no paper after shitting in the march, and he pulled a handful of thatch grass and rubbed his buttocks, which was so spicy that his buttocks hurt, swollen and tall, and he was furious: Bird-like SC, even the grass bullied me, and people are even more hateful. Then he ordered to kill all the people, and all the people who passed along the way, whether old or young, were paid with butcher knives, and the army did not bring rations, but fed on human flesh. As a result, the population of SC has decreased sharply, and the land is thousands of miles away, with ten rooms and nine emptiness. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the people who migrated to the two lakes and the two rivers to the SC, and the people who migrated to the two rivers and the two Huai to the Huguang, that is, the so-called Huguang filled the SC, and the Jianghuai filled the lake. Most of the ordinary people were reluctant to leave their hometowns, so the government tied the people's hands with ropes, escorted them by messengers, traveled long distances, suffered from hunger and cold, and the sick and died endlessly. Even if you want to pee and urine, you have to send someone to approve and untie the rope, which is called unties. In order to commemorate the hardships of the ancestors, the descendants took the time of the arrival of the ancestors as the time to eat the reunion dinner. The ancestor of Fang Bin's family came from JX camphor tree, and it was noon when he arrived in Longyang, so he had New Year's dinner at noon. Before eating the New Year's dinner, you should worship your ancestors with three animals in the hall, and after eating the New Year's dinner, you should go to the grave of your ancestors, light a torch, put firecrackers, and clean up the weeds on the grave by the way.

When watching the Spring Festival Gala, Sun Yang was always restless, running around, and finally pestered Yurong to put the whip, Fang Bin was not at ease and followed out. In the night sky, there are sky-high fireworks and sky-high cannons everywhere, reflecting the night and resounding in the sky. Yu Rong covered her ears, leaned on Fang Bin's ear and said: It's so beautiful, it's so lively!

Niang opened the door of the hall, took out a handful of baskets, and handed it to Fang Bin: Come, Bin'er, you try your luck next year. This is an annual repertoire called trigram. Yu Rong was puzzled and looked at Fang Bin suspiciously. Fang Bin smiled: The countrymen are superstitious, praying for good weather in the coming year, attracting wealth and treasure, and using a dustpan to predict. If the mouth of the basket is inward, it means that the wealth is inward, and outward, it means that the New Year is not going well. Yurong smiled: Do you believe it too? Fang Bin smiled: Villagers follow customs, countrymen can't control their own destiny, and they are full of hope for the coming year, so they can only comfort themselves with what they have seen. As he spoke, he stood by the threshold, turned off the light at the door, prayed silently, and threw the dustpan over his head with all his might.

Wow! Uncle Uncle! Sun Yang shouted and jumped excitedly, turned on the light, and pinched the mouth upward, facing the door of the hall.

Thank you, Bodhisattva! Thank you ancestors! The mother clasped her hands together and kept chanting and making wishes. Obviously, this is a good fortune.

Back in the house, Fang Bin took out fifty yuan, put it in a red envelope, and handed it to Yurong. Yu Rong smiled and didn't speak, but took out another fifty yuan, put it into a small red envelope together, and teased Sun Yang: Sun Yang is good! You give Aunt Yu a New Year's greeting, and I will give you a big red envelope. The pink Sun Yang Ma ran over and shook his hands wildly: New Year's greetings! Red envelopes in front. It looks funny and cute, and makes the family laugh.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the neighbors greeted each other for the New Year, the mother prepared a lot of candy peanut biscuits, for every child who came to the house, the mother sealed a small red envelope, four pieces and eight yuan. Fang Jun was the first to arrive with his sister-in-law and nephew, wearing the new clothes bought by Yurong, the family was beaming, Fang Hai took the red envelope given by Yurong, and his face turned red.

Yurong, sister-in-law Liu Xiaomei smiled, looked at Yurong and then looked at Fang Bin and her father, they all went to my house at noon today to have lunch, wait for Xiaoju's family to come together. Fang Bin was happy in his heart, and looked at Yurong gratefully, his sister-in-law opened it like this, but it was the first time that Pangu opened the sky.

In the afternoon, Fang Bin brought cigarettes and alcohol, and took Yu'er's hand: Let's go see my master. At the bend of the embankment, surrounded by a large cluster of poplar metasequoias, three old-fashioned tiled houses, a sloping slope leading to the harvest field at the door, a few straw stacks, and a few fruit trees that have lost their branches and leaves.

Expensive! Fang Bin shouted affectionately, and a lean old man walked out of the door. Seeing that it was Fang Bin, he smiled heartily: Is it Bin? The old lady also heard the sound and came out, pulling Yurong to ask long and short questions. The old couple has no children and no daughters, no desires and no desires, grows their own food, feeds chickens and ducks by themselves, is idle and plain, boxing, singing songs, nearly eighty people, but they can't see it at all.
