81, the New Year

"Crackle, crackle!"

The sound of firecrackers welcomes the New Year, and the red plums celebrate the New Year.

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve!" The wind and the village are a happy scene, and every household is full of people to welcome the Spring Festival.

"Li Ge, Li Yu, several of your brothers have come out and assigned tasks." Li Bangguo stood in the courtyard and shouted.

Today is sunny and the wind is not so cold, so it is a good day.

"Here we are." Dressed neatly, the grandchildren of the Li family came to the courtyard to stand up, waiting for Li Bangguo to assign tasks.

"Xiao Chen, you are responsible for cutting the window flowers, as well as the red charm, and Xiao Xi is also with you."

"Yes." Lin Zichen's sister and brother were ordered to cut the window flowers.

"Li Ge, Li Yu, Li Hua, the three of you help kill the pigs." Li Bangguo continued to distribute.

"Got it." The three of them received the order, went back to the house, put on aprons and sleeves, etc., and went to the backyard to help kill the pigs.

"Eh, Grandpa, what about me?" Li Ji asked, pointing to his nose.

"You, responsible for pasting Spring Festival couplets."

"Huh? It's so unchallenging. Li was extremely depressed, but he still moved a ladder to prepare to paste the Spring Festival couplets, thinking that he would help kill the pigs after pasting the Spring Festival couplets. Men, naturally, have to kill pigs to reflect the charm of his man.

The family went into battle together to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Li Bangguo assigned the task and began to kill chickens, there were too many things on Chinese New Year's Eve, and his hands and feet were faster to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner before sunset.

"Xiaoxi, cut it, pick up the sticker." Lin Zichen gave the cut window flowers to Lin Zixi.

Lin Zixi took the cut window grilles and pasted a copy of the doors and windows of each room.

The window grille is made of bought red paper, which will be dyed red after a few touches, and after surviving, Lin Zixi's little hands were dyed red.

"Wow, sister, my hands are blooming with red flowers." Lin Zixi happily raised his little hand.

"Well, be careful, don't rub the color on your clothes, it won't wash off." Lin Zichen reminded.

"Got it." Lin Zixi answered loudly and ran out with the window flowers.

In the backyard, the family's pigs have been bled and are beginning to shave.

Li Ge, Li Yu, and Li Hua are doing this for the first time, and their hands and feet are a little unsharp.

"The knife is scraped off diagonally, pay attention to the force, don't scratch the pigskin." Li Weiye reminded while demonstrating.

Li Ge's three guys carefully observed Li Weiye's movements and slowly learned.

The old rule in the village is that boys must learn what men should do, such as killing pigs, plowing fields, etc. Even if the children will develop in the big city in the future, they must learn at this moment as long as they have not stepped out of the wind and village.

Li Ji quickly pasted the Spring Festival couplets and rushed to the backyard to learn to kill pigs.

Li Weiye taught carefully, and a few young men also learned seriously.

"Old man, the god-worshipping chicken is cooked." Li Yuedi shouted to Li Bangguo in the kitchen.

"Got it." After disposing of the last chicken in his hand, Li Bangguo began to prepare objects for worship.

"Uncle Li, we're here to help kill the pigs." Zhang Zicheng pushed the door and walked into the courtyard of the Li family.

"You're here, go to the backyard, just start shaving." Li Yuedi said to Zhang Zicheng and several other men with a smile.

"Huh. Auntie has worked hard. Zhang Zicheng and the others greeted politely.

"For the New Year, it's worth the hard work." Li Weiyan came out of the kitchen, heard Zhang Zicheng's words, and responded with a smile.

"Hehehe, yes, yes." Everyone laughed and went about their jobs.

Zhang Zicheng and others had already told Li Weiye that they would buy the Li family's pork during the Chinese New Year. The rules of the village are that whoever buys pork will come over to kill the pigs together, so Zhang Zicheng and others will come over to help today.

With the addition of Zhang Zicheng and others, the pig was quickly cut in half, and Zhang Zicheng was the main knife, weighing enough for each buyer, and the few pork left was the Li family's own.

"Brother Li, let's go first, and we'll talk in the evening." The people who came to buy meat said goodbye one by one.

"Okay, we'll talk in the evening." Seeing off each guest, Li Weiye began to clean up the yard.

"Wei Ye, Wei Mao, hurry up your hands and feet, and get ready to worship God." Li Bangguo shouted into the backyard.

"Eh, here we are. Everyone's hands and feet are faster. Li Weiye urged.

After tidying up the yard, the men in the family took off their aprons and sleeves, and followed Li Bangguo to worship God.

"Qingxiang, Xiaoxi, the two of you are also together." Li Bangguo urged.

Lin Qingxiang hesitated for a moment, and then took Lin Zixi's little hand and went together.

Many people in the village have already carried objects to the direction of the ancestral hall, all of them worship God.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone said Happy New Year when they met.

Li Bangguo entered the ancestral hall, and the two brothers Li Weiye helped to arrange the tribute.

Others stand neatly in the back.

Li Bangguo lit incense candles and inserted them in the incense burner of the ancestral hall. Distribute the lit incense to each person, and the whole family bows and salutes together.

Li Bangguo softly reported to his ancestors the big and small things in the family in the past year, and prayed that the ancestors could bless the old and young in the family to be healthy and free from illness and disaster.

After the report, he bowed respectfully three times again and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

"Weiye, you come up and toast." Li Bangguo stepped aside.

Li Weiye and others toasted one by one according to their age.

"Okay, you little ones go out to set off firecrackers, Wei Mao, you pack up the tribute." Li Bangguo assigned everyone's affairs.

Li Ge walked outside the ancestral hall with a firecracker, found a bamboo pole, and hung the firecracker.

Ignited, and the firecrackers immediately "crackled".

A few people covered their ears and looked at the red paper flying all over the sky, their hearts were full of joy for the New Year.

The people who came in the ancestral hall left, and when they left, there were people who came, and the crowd was endless, and it was very lively.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family sits around and toasts in unison.

"Come and have a drink, and I wish you a better day in the coming year." After the first tour of wine, Li Weimao raised his glass again.

"Touch" everyone's cups were lightly touched, and their faces were full of joyful smiles.

The men drank baijiu and the women drank rice wine. Happy New Year, even if you are drunk, it is not surprising.

After the meal, Li Bangguo sat in the first seat of the living room, "Come, Xiaoxi, Grandpa will give you New Year's money." ”

Lin Zixi stepped forward to take the red envelope, "Thank you, Grandpa, I wish Grandpa good health, and live younger and younger." ”

"Hehehe, Xiaoxi is good." Hearing his grandson's blessings, Li Bangguo smiled happily.

Li Yuedi also pulled Lin Zixi, "Come, Grandma will also give you New Year's money." ”

Lin Zixi took it, and it was still a string of blessings, which coaxed Li Yuedi to smile.

The juniors received the New Year's money, so they gathered around the fire, gossiping, and keeping vigil.

The clock struck twelve o'clock at midnight, and the men of the family took firecrackers and went outside the yard to set off.

"Crackling, crackling."

The sound of firecrackers resounded in the sky one after another, and it took more than half an hour to stop without stopping.

"Come on, come on, eat glutinous rice dumplings." Liang Xiaomei brought out a plate of steaming rice balls from the kitchen.

Ye Xiaoyu and Li Weiyan followed behind with dishes and chopsticks. Each person holds a bowl of rice balls and eats them with relish.

"Hey, little sister, are there still glutinous rice dumplings in the kitchen?" Li Yuedi raised her head and asked Liang Xiaomei.

Everyone didn't know why, Li Yuedi smiled and said, "Aren't there only three of them in the village chief's family?" I don't know how the food preparation for the New Year is done, I forgot to ask for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and this glutinous rice dumpling can no longer be forgotten. ”

"Yes, yes, although the village chief's family is an outsider, the manufacturing plant in our village is indispensable to the village chief's credit. the kid, you go to the kitchen and get some more glutinous rice dumplings, and I'll send them to the village chief. Li Weiye also urged his daughter-in-law.

"Eh, there's still a lot in the pot, I'll serve it right away." Liang Xiaomei replied with a smile.

Ye Xiaoyu also stood up when he heard this, "I'll help." ”

The two of them soon came out with a big bowl full of glutinous rice dumplings, and the brothers Li Weiye and Li Weimao personally sent them to the Gu family.

"Buckle, buckle." Knocking on the door of the Gu family, the two brothers Li Weiye sent the glutinous rice dumplings in their hands to Gu Siting, "This is our unique food in Pinghe County, and I will send some to your grandfather." ”

Gu Siting was overjoyed, and welcomed the two Li Weiye brothers into the house, "Mingxuan, go and get one more cup here, I want to have a drink with the two uncles of the Li family." ”

"I'll go." A crisp female voice came from inside the house, and the Li Weiye brothers were stunned only to find that there were other people in the house.

"This, this is my sister-in-law." Li Weiye greeted with a smile.

Gu Sting hurriedly introduced to a few people: "Yuping, these are the two sons of Uncle Li's family, that is, the second-in-command of our manufacturing factory that I often tell you about." ”

Fang Yuping nodded slightly to Li Weiye and the two brothers, which was regarded as a greeting.

Gu Siting continued: "Wei Ye, Wei Mao, this is my daughter-in-law Fang Yuping. ”

"Hello sister-in-law." The Li Weiye brothers said hello, put down the glutinous rice dumplings, and left the Gu family with a few words.

Watching Li Weiye and the two brothers leave, Fang Yuping turned to Gu Siting and said, "You two brothers are good. ”

Gu Stin nodded in agreement, "I'm here thanks to their family's care. ”

Fang Yuping lowered his head and tasted the glutinous rice dumplings, "Well, this glutinous rice dumplings are good, Ming Xuan, Ming Ze, you two also taste them." ”

A family of four sat around a wooden table, savoring this sweet glutinous rice dumpling.

In the Li family, after everyone ate the delicious rice balls, the children said their blessings to the elders and went back to the room to rest, and the adults will continue to keep vigil and keep the incense candles in the living room to prevent the incense candles from going out.

"It's been a great year." Li Yuedi sighed softly.

"Hehe, the days will get better and better in the future." Li Weiyan flicked the coal in the brazier and said softly.

The others nodded.

Outside, the cold wind is howling, and the house is happy.

The windows of each house are filled with light, as if telling a touching story.

The Chinese New Year is a time for farmers who have been busy all year long to relax, and it is also a time to connect with each other.

On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, Li Weiye and Li Weimao went back to their parents' house with their daughter-in-law to visit relatives.

Except for Lin Zixi, who is still a child in the family, Li Ge and the others are reluctant to follow the adults to visit relatives. In desperation, Li Weiye had no choice but to take Lin Zixi to visit relatives. This made Lin Zixi happy, because he won several more red envelopes this year.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, walk around.

The sun was shining outside, which added a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

"Let's go, let's go out and take a walk." It's been cold these days, and I'm embarrassed to follow the adults to visit relatives' houses, Li Ji is going crazy at home, it's rare that the sun is shining today, Li Ji can't help but go out and walk around.

"Okay." Li Ge put down the medical skills in his hand, stretched his muscles and bones, and prepared to go out for activities.

"I'm with me, too." Lin Zichen endured the cold and finished eating an orange, and also went out.

So the brothers and sisters all went together and prepared to walk around the village.

"Big brother, is it difficult to study medicine?" Walking on the path in the field, Lin Zichen asked Li Ge with concern.

After going to college, Li Ge's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes, losing the youthfulness of his youth, and having more of the stability of an adult and the elegance of a scholar.

"Well, it's fine for now. When I was in high school, I didn't think I was good at studying, but when I went to college, I realized that my brain was not as stupid as I thought. "It's a strange feeling, like a sudden enlightenment, and Li Ge himself can't tell.

"That's good." Lin Zichen knew in her heart that Li Ge's changes were inseparable from the food of the space, and she had been eating the fruits of the space, not only did her physique become stronger, but her memory also became amazing, and she could even achieve the unforgettable Cheng dΓΉ.

Lin Zichen turned his head, and suddenly saw Li Ge frowning from time to time, and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"What's on the mind of the eldest brother, it won't be that he has met his future sister-in-law." Li Ji, who was playing all the way, heard Lin Zichen's words and ran forward to make fun of Li Ge.

"Go, go aside, if the eldest brother meets his future sister-in-law, then he must have a lovesick expression now, how can he still have a sad face." Lin Zichen stretched out his foot to kick Li Ji.

Li Ji hurriedly dodged, but Li Yu and Li Hua also curiously came to Li Ge's side to listen to the gossip.

Li Ge was made into a big red face by several younger siblings, "You guys are thinking about these all day long when you are studying? ”

Li Yu and Li Hua hurriedly cleared up, "Big brother, we don't have any." ”

"What about Li Ji and Xiao Chen?" Li Geyan stared at Li Ji and Lin Zichen.

Li Ji still looks like a hanger, "Brother yearns for a beautiful college life, and the love of children is far away from me." ”

Li Ge and the others looked at Lin Zichen.

The corners of Lin Zichen's mouth curled, the corners of his eyebrows raised, and he smiled a little proudly: "I'm in love every day." ”

"Poof." Li Ji was frightened and looked at Lin Zichen in horror, "You're kidding." ”

Lin Zichen said without blinking: "Who said I was joking, I was serious." ”

Everyone else was stunned, and they all made the reason that they wanted to give Lin Zichen a special lecture on the precipice.

Lin Zichen looked at the expressions of several elder brothers, and smiled unkindly, "Hehehe, I'm teasing you." ”

A few people breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Yu tapped Lin Zichen's head with his finger, "I love to tease a few of us." ”

Lin Zichen stuck out his tongue, "It's the New Year, let's tease you guys!" ”

"Okay, didn't you say that you helped the eldest brother solve problems? Why did you make a fuss first? Li Ge has seen Lin Zichen's ability, and if he wants to talk to Lin Zichen about his own affairs, he may be able to get a good Jian. R1152
