On February 17, 1977, the old year was said goodbye to the new year, and the bittersweet and bitter tastes were left to 1976. Today, show a new look.

Summer counted on her fingers, and she was going to give birth in a few days.

She didn't talk about going downstairs to Zhang Luo for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner now, and the family couldn't wait for her to go out of the house easily.

Because the summer has not been very comfortable since last night, but it is better to endure it, but the whole family really dare not be careless.

At half past three in the afternoon, Song Yaping was so busy that she was sweating profusely, Aunt Ye, Aunt Ye, Xu Qing, plus Wang Lotus, and several women served food inside and outside the house.

The women are chattering and chattering in the busy, and they can talk about homely things.

The men were divided into two factions, Grandpa Song played poker with the young Uncle Ye, and Second Uncle Ye played chess with his father, who was over the age of his age.

Occasionally, Second Uncle Ye would whisper in embarrassment: "Dad, this plate doesn't count." You didn't do your best, and I won't win. ”

Ye Boying took the sugar gourd made by Wang Lotus for the summer, and ran around the house. With a small mouth, his voice is particularly crisp, and he shouted at the summer upstairs:

"Sister-in-law! Go downstairs and eat skewers! It's the same as the red lantern, so it's so beautiful! I'm eating, you watch, go downstairs! You're upstairs by yourself, how sad it is to be alone. ”

Summer half lay in her chair and rolled her eyes helplessly.

This bear child didn't know what was going on, while saying that she was ugly, often looking at her with disgust, and on the other hand, he liked to play with her, troubled her hair, wanted to braid her braids, and cut her fingers.

But I want to avoid any summer, and seven-year-olds don't have depth. I love to pounce on her.

It is estimated that all the people in this family are old, and her mother still listens to her, only she can not rely on her and play with her.

Ye Zhiqing, the owner of the Ye family's compound, took the initiative to ask for instructions with the No. 1 leader this year, and he was very moved and very realistic.

He said that after decades of eventful years, his sister, who married far away, left behind a bunch of things from her in-laws' family and returned to her parents' house just for the Chinese New Year, and his youngest brother took the train from the south to return with the whole family.

Before his mother died, he was always absent, from the beginning of wearing this military uniform. Absent for decades. With ideals, we strive for glory year after year, year after year.

However, this time it was rare, he thought, this time, when his temples were not all gray hair. While my father was still alive. Take the Chinese New Year seriously. I hereby ask for leave to accompany the old father and father-in-law, to be a good son and a good aunt, and to have a reunion Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

……

Ye Zhiqing has a gentle appearance. The pace is also slightly brisk than usual, after the driver opened the door and got out of the car, when he saw the neighbors and friends in the compound from a distance, he waved his hand at the people and said "Happy New Year".

When the banquet was about to start on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Zhiqing took the briefcase and pushed open the door.

"Big brother? Really back? I thought you were going to have a military and civilian gala! At least not those men! Eat in the cafeteria with the fighters! ”

Aunt Ye was overjoyed, although she informed Ye Zhiqing in advance in a commanding tone, and threatened with a tone of "you look at it", she knew in her heart that the higher the position, the more helplessness there was. But I don't want Ye Zhiqing to really do it this year.

Song Yaping also raised her eyebrows.

Women, usually don't ask for it, but these years to celebrate the New Year by themselves, and the husband is not at home, that is not a habit, it is to grit your teeth and endure not to make trouble.

Song Yaping was also so happy at this moment that she had mixed feelings in her heart, and her voice was full of sighs:

"Old Ye, we'll have to take a picture later. Last year was just me and the summer. This year, hehe, that's good. Is Xiao Zhao gone? I'll give him candy bars. Chinese New Year's Eve, let him be sweet and sweet. ”

Song Yaping hurriedly entered the living room and grabbed a handful of tea trays.

Aunt Ye made fun of the old couple and said, "Big brother, look at my sister-in-law happy." It's really rare! ”

Summer is now a key object of protection, and Wang Lotus deliberately went upstairs to wake up pregnant women who could still nap in the noisy sound.

Grandpa Ye and Grandpa Song went back and forth to humbly give up the main seat, and later it was the place where Grandpa Song laughed and talked about the "guest of honor", and everyone was seated.

Grandpa Ye raised his glass and looked at the Ye family, full of emotion, and sighed in a very sighing tone:

"People, you will experience a lot in your life, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. I always teach you to have ambitions, and people are not afraid if they have ideals. Now I want to put it another way, only when you have a family can you not be afraid of anything, and you can have the courage to climb the peak. Alas! Don't talk about it, my in-laws will also say a few words, and there will be a good start in 1977. ”

Grandpa Ye originally thought about it a lot and wanted to say a lot, but after all, it was still sad on the day of the reunion. He wanted to say, "Thank you as a father." ”

Grandpa Song smiled, patted Grandpa Ye's shoulder, and answered:

"Tim New Year, time will not be turned back. Every day you go by, you have to live a more meaningful life.

At your father's age, I have taken fame and fortune very lightly, and I only hope that you are safe and healthy.

To pay attention to this, to make a commitment to life, that is the best care for the people around you, to be the shoulder that the people around you can rely on. We will also take care of our bodies. ”

Aunt Ye wanted to control herself, but when she saw her father's emotional ups and downs, her eyes turned red. The more times like this, the more she misses her mother.

It was Ye Zhiqing who stood up and raised his glass, and the atmosphere in the living room reached its peak for a while:

"Come, may 1977 be safe and raise a glass together; Bless our Ye family to be imported and prosperous; Cheers to the motherland in the new year! ”

In the summer, he held boiled water in one hand and his clumsy waist in the other, and he was dry in one mouth, and his incomparably cheerful style was more free and easy than Uncle Ye, who was going to drink the most engaged state of drinking liquor.

There are a lot of lines in Summer's heart:

"May my children be born healthy and healthy, may Ye Boxuan have a smooth new year, may my father and mother be in good health, and may I be admitted to the university gold list...... Please, God, I'm greedy, but I'm stupid and naïve, and I believe you can do it. ”

If God could speak up, he would definitely say to Summer: "You are superstitious at a young age, and your destiny is in your own hands." ”

In the summer, due to her heavy body and drowsiness, she could not participate in the meal of dumplings in the middle of the night, and she planned to take this opportunity to say all the wishes she wanted to make, so as to make a smooth 1977.

……

When she returned to her room after dinner, she lay on her bed with a smile on her face and muttered a whisper repeating the lyrics that her grandmother had sung during the New Year, in 1974:

"The windows are covered with paper, the big girl is holding a cigarette pouch, the big vat and the small vat are stained with sauerkraut, the adobe house is fenced, and the head is facing out when I go to bed at night."

When you wake up, if you want to answer the call of Head Ye, you have to call the leader to greet the New Year.

When she fell asleep in the summer, she dreamed again of entering the vineyard, the bunches of grapes with dewdrops, she squatted there to eat, and the front of the food was all purple, so sweet...... (To be continued.) )
