Chapter Ninety-Seven: Chinese New Year
Douzhuang has no habit of keeping the New Year, everyone eats and drinks, and then looks at the Spring Festival Gala, and then sets off a cannon at twelve o'clock, even if it is over.
Now the large-scale gala is not popular, even in Lin Yue's eyes, the stage set is not good, the staff makeup is too poor, except for the Spring Festival Gala, it is also a must-have program for every family on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Eat and drink well, pile them together and watch the Spring Festival Gala, and then go back to their respective homes.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yue woke up to the sound of firecrackers, blinked her eyes, looked at the door of her room with a tight door, and she entered the space with confidence.
When she was in the market yesterday, she secretly bought a few rabbits and put them in the space, which would have disappeared a long time ago, and she didn't know where they went.
"Master, are you here?"
Xia Tian couldn't see what was talking to her in front of her eyes, "When will you have your own shape?" ”
It's awkward to do it like this.
"Soon, as long as the space aura is more abundant, it won't be a few months, and you will be able to see me, master."
"That's good, but can you tell me what the hell you are?"
It can't be some kind of elf monster or something, right?
"People aren't things" The voice began to get tangled, and in the human words, it seemed that it was not a thing, not a good word, "You can bully me, or that day, the master will see it for himself."
Lin Yue pouted, this stingy look.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the rule of the Lin family is that a large family should eat in the old courtyard, where Lin Zhende took Lin Yuanan to the third aunt and sixth aunt's house to pay a New Year's greeting, Lin Yuanan was never tired, although the place where he ran was a little far, but no matter who came out, he could always have an extra dollar or two in his pocket.
This silly boy. The corners of his mouth curled up happily when he only got a little money, but he didn't know that his father gave out more money!
The family has money, and the old couple is unwilling to live in the town, and the sons can't express their filial piety. I can only think about it in the old yard.
The old house was overturned and turned into mud walls plastered with red brick plaster, and the walls of the yard were covered with white tiles.
With non-slip stone slabs, the whole home has a new look.
The kitchen's old stove has been overturned, but now it has been turned into a plaster stove with a gas fire next to it. Just unscrew the switch on the gas tank and turn on the fire.
Other people's kitchens are pitch black, and many people go directly to the mountains in winter to pick up dead branches to burn the fire in order to save money. Now there are not only briquette fires, but also gas stoves.
It's a milestone.
Although the layout of the house is still the same as before, after the flip, it is a world of difference from the previous one, with a clean and tidy yard and a house with bright windows.
Even the floor of the kitchen is tiled, not to mention how enviable.
After moving into a new house. There is an endless stream of people who come to visit every day.
However, the accommodation is comfortable, but the old couple is also a little dissatisfied.
Duan Mai Moth dislikes that the yard has been wiped out by people, and he can't grow vegetables and huā. Lin Xuancheng felt that there was no soil exposed in the entire courtyard, and he always felt unsteady in his heart.
"If it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, you can't cut the whole yard off" Lin Yue sat with his grandfather, and after listening to his complaints, he comforted him.
The old man only told her anything. The son and daughter-in-law are not as heavy as her.
Lin Shucheng flicked the soot of his fingers, and looked at his granddaughter with a bad eye. Hurriedly puff out the cigarette butt.
"Tuan Tuan, your grandfather and I have this hobby. You can't take it away."
A few days ago, he had been coughing a little, and he didn't get better again and again, and even coughed up blood once.
Frightened, the sons were scattered, and hurriedly pulled the old man to the hospital for examination.
After the blood draw, laboratory tests, and electrocardiogram were messily checked, there was a false alarm.
However, the doctor also said that when he gets older, he smokes and drinks less, and he is not young.
But who will persuade him to stay?
Duan Mai Moth confiscated all his cigarettes and alcohol, but he couldn't bear the money in the old man's hand, so he secretly went to the shop from time to time to buy a few cigarettes and drink some wine.
No one can control it.
No, I was caught by Lin Yue this time.
"Bring it," the white tender little hand stretched out.
"What for?" Lin Xuancheng shrank behind him slightly, blaming him for being addicted to smoking, and he smoked cigarettes without seeing who was coming.
Lin Yue didn't know what he meant when he wanted to hear it, so he kept stretching out his hand and didn't take it out.
"Just two," he put his hand in his pocket, fumbled for it, and took out two and handed them to his granddaughter.
Lin Yue slapped his hand away and took out the remaining cigarettes from the pocket he had just taken out of his cigarette.
"Who are you fooling if you still say no?"
"Hey, then you have to leave me two, my money has been taken away by your milk"
Lin Yue pretended not to hear.
Old children, old children, the older a person gets, the more strange his temper becomes.
"Are you two still chattering? Hurry up and eat" Just as Lin Yue had just handed over the cigarettes, Duan Mai Moth stretched out his head and shouted at the two people sitting on the stone pier.
"Alas, just come" Lin Yue nodded and helped the old man up.
At the reunion dinner on the first day of the new year, the sons who are usually not at home gather here on this day, the sons and daughters-in-law are on a table, and the small ones are specially arranged on a small table.
The table was full of delicacies.
The family is harmonious, which is really good.
It's just that she is the only one of the juniors at this table, which is really lonely.
The second aunt, who was originally not very restless, has now become much more restrained.
Uncle is now the leader of the well-known construction team, this is the time of rapid economic development, the rise of the construction industry, and with the name of Lin Zhende, the capital is abundant.
Naturally, there are more people looking for the door.
The three masters are now about to take over the coal washing plant completely, and their lives are not bad.
The second uncle was reluctant to work in the credit union, and he received that little salary every day, and his life was comfortable.
However, the second aunt quit, and this person just can't give birth to a heart of contrast.
The words began to reveal this meaning, anyway, her family was not stained.
Lin Zhende looked at it like this, it didn't work. They have four brothers, and three of them are often away from home, so the second brother guards his parents.
It's not that I'm afraid that the second brother will not be filial, it's just that he usually goes to work, and there are always places where he doesn't take good care of him. If the second sister-in-law is angry in her heart, she can't usually take care of it, in case something happens to the family.
They didn't cry even though they wept.
simply, I lent her money to set up a small supermarket, so that she could do it herself and talk less.
For the sake of the second brother's face. The official version is that the money was lent to her.
However, this house was built by the eldest brother's subordinates, the material money was paid by the third brother, and the supermarket decoration and purchase were all from their own homes.
Just put things down there. Let the family be the boss lady.
Pay back? They didn't have any hope, they just thought that they could take good care of the elderly in the future, and thank God.
Lin Yue knows her second aunt's temper, she is not a bad person, but her comparison psychology is too strong.
But since this incident, she has changed a lot, her speech is not sour, and she is also kind to the juniors.
All in all. It's all about lack of money.
There are singers in the village today, and every time they catch the market, the village brigade will invite the surrounding opera troupes to sing.
The invitees are all famous opera troupes in Henan. Every day, many people in the next village will bring Maza mats to watch the play, who makes Douzhuang rich?
There are gatherings in other villages, but every one of them is as rich as Douzhuang.
Xu Tong dragged her to go to the play, but in fact, watching the play was fake. It's really fun to join in.
"Hey, Tuantuan. Wait for me" Just as they stepped out of the door, the second aunt suddenly called out to her.
"Second aunt. What's wrong with you? ”
"Hey, I'm going to start singing this afternoon, I've got to open the door of the supermarket" her eyebrows fluttered, "It's just a few days of hard work to make money"
The supermarket façade is not small, the inside is goods, and the outside was converted into a vegetable stall by her.
Before the Chinese New Year, she was busy selling vegetables here, and after the New Year, she had to open the door quickly while the children had New Year's money, and it was only a matter of these two days to make money.
"Still going today?"
Xu Tong's eyes widened.
"Yes, until fifteen years ago, I couldn't be idle, let's go for a walk, go over, and my aunt will bring you two ice creams to eat."
The supermarket is in the most prosperous area of the village, and it is very convenient to walk about 50 steps to the theater.
"Wow, wow, wow" Xu Tong's eyes flashed.
Lin Yue glanced at it.
Xu Tong's smile instantly condensed on his lips.
"Forget it, we won't eat ice cream"
Aunt Lin was polite, they didn't eat, and they saved her money.
There is a reason why Xu Tong is not allowed to eat ice cream.
Adolescent girls are more or less troubled.
For example, the abrasive little goblin of the great aunt.
Xu Tong is one year older than Lin Yue, and two months before the Chinese New Year, the eldest aunt came.
This made Lin Yue suddenly wake up, her eldest aunt in her previous life seems to be fourteen, and unlike other people's aunts' favors, her family is extremely abrasive.
Every time it hurts, it's like spitting out bile.
It turned out that she hadn't come, so she simply forgot about it, Xu Tong's reminder, she remembered it.
You'll have to start maintenance.
Therefore, I don't eat raw and cold food, and I don't stick to cold ice cream.
When Xu Tong first came, her stomach didn't react at all, she should eat cold drinks or something, and she didn't taboo her mouth at all, but Lin Yue couldn't do it, her physique couldn't compare with others.
Since then, the disadvantages of eating cold drinks have been widely publicized, especially for girls of their age.
Xu Tong believed it.
Lin Yue thought proudly, if you don't eat it, you just don't eat it, if you just watch her eat it, you can't eat it, how depressing it will be.
And so it ended.
One by one the corners were babbling on it, Lin Yue sat on the stone chair, patted her knees, and listened with relish, Xu Tong pulled her to play with her, and was rejected countless times.
"Look, I feel more and more like an old lady," Xu Tong complained towards Liang Dongdong.
"My mother also likes to watch it, and she usually plays this big show on the radio when she is fine."
She still had opinions before, but later, as soon as her mother let her go, her family would be drowsy, and she didn't have that opinion at all. (To be continued)
