Chapter 146: Returning Home for the New Year
"It's all your fault, it's not good to catch something, you have to catch the bear cubs. Luckily run fast, or you'll be a piece of bear. ”
Back at the farm, Cai Hongming severely reprimanded Liu Chong.
It's a pity that this guy didn't care about this, and after he left, he ran to find Jingjing with two little bears.
Jing Jing liked the hedgehog he brought back very much, and specially asked his father Xiahou Kungang to find a cage to keep it. And I like those two naïve bears even more. The two little ones don't know if they have just opened their eyes, and they are stupid, but they know that they are spinning around, looking, crawling around, or simply holding and playing around by themselves, and having fun.
As more and more people knew that Liu Chong had brought the two bears back, there were more people who went to Xiahou's house to see the bears.
It's just that the two little ones are still playing around there stupidly.
It wasn't until someone teased them that the two little ones consciously felt that they could find something delicious in this way. So, I just pretended to be stupid over there and blindly sold cute. Suddenly, the popularity index of the two little ones skyrocketed. The big rooster Huahua also brought the owl hero over to join in the fun, and when he saw the two black guys, he was very disdainful.
But the two cubs don't think so.
Because of the nature of the species, or two little ones have really caught a bird, and when they see a big rooster, they will run over to catch the flowers.
Of course, Flowey didn't have a good face to show them, and when the two little ones pounced, they flapped their wings over, and then a whirling kick, claws straight at them. In an instant, several blood marks appeared on the noses of the two little guys, and the pain made the two little guys scream miserably and ran to Liu Chong's side for comfort.
Cai Hongming also came over to take a look, and he left in a hurry.
Since bring it back. Then raise it, anyway, the family is not bad for these two mouths to eat. It's just that this black bear needs to be licensed, which is very troublesome.
After thinking about it, I simply didn't do it, anyway, they didn't keep it in captivity, so it should be a witness of the harmony between man and nature. Wait until someone comes to catch it. Let them go out into the mountains.
After staying on the farm for a few days and arranging everything, Cai Hongming went back to Gulang, and returned to southern Fujian with his wife, who had already prepared things, and the children. And his parents don't go back until they finish the New Year here, and they do it every year.
Thousands of miles, slow to say, fast to say.
Out of the airport, Cai Hongming saw his friend Cai Zhengxian waving to him in front.
By this time, it was already very cold in the northwest. It's not enough to wear three clothes, you have to wear a down jacket to be warm, but here in southern Fujian, you still have to sweat when you wear a short-sleeved shirt. The difference in weather is really world-shattering.
Xiao Chuchu has been in peace all the way, sleeping after eating, eating after sleeping, and is a complete foodie.
Cai Zhengxian stepped forward to take a look at the little guy, and when he saw that she was sleeping, he didn't tease her. drove directly to Cai Hongming and his wife to the end corner of the town.
Along the way, he talked to Cai Hongming about the hot spring resort.
The opening of the hot spring resort coincided with the festival. So business was good, but then it was bad. This year, the economy is sluggish, and even the business of this kind of consumption place is much lighter, and it is basically difficult to have customers except for holidays. So after a year, the business is not at a loss. But I don't earn a lot.
Cai Hongming is rich now, and he can't look down on this thing at all.
However, Cai Zhengxian regards this as a career and manages it very carefully. Cai Hongming couldn't say anything sad to him, but just comforted him and said that when this period passed, business would get better.
It does not mean that the domestic economy will not be able to do well next year. Even those fruit trees planted next to the hot spring resort can earn a lot of income, and of course it can be better than this year.
Back in the village, Cai Hongming, who was far away, saw his cousin Lu Qiaohong looking out on the road in front of the old house, and as soon as he saw the car coming, he turned around and shouted, and then saw Ah Gong and his cousin Jiang Yuhan walking out. Lu Qiaohong is on vacation now, so she will come over to accompany her grandfather if she has nothing to do. Today, I heard that he was coming back, so I came early and waited.
"Ah Gong." Cai Hongming got out of the car and Shi Wan'er shouted respectfully.
"I'm back." Cai Lang smiled and nodded, and stepped forward to look at Chu Chu who was held in Shi Wan'er's arms.
The little one had slept all the way and was looking curiously at the strange place in front of him with wide eyes. Big eyes, pink and tender little face looks very cute. Next to her, Lu Qiaohong reached out and touched the little face, which was tender and slippery, like clotted fat.
After saying a few words, the group walked inside.
When he came to the house, Cai Hongming saw that everything in the old house was the same, but with a hint of festive festivity.
In the evening, in order to catch the wind for the two, Cai Hongming's second aunt Lin Shuying specially made a large table of dishes, and called Cai Zhengxian and others to come over to drink together.
Early the next morning, Cai Hongming took his wife and daughter to go door to door to distribute the specialties brought back from the northwest. Not much stuff, just a little heart. Rural people are like this, they come and go, and they seem to be affectionate. If he hadn't come or gone, the family would have been cut off in a few years. This is called human affection, a kind of social interaction in disguise. Like people in the city, if you stay at home all day and don't interact with people, you end up alone.
Cai Hongming's parents are going to celebrate the New Year with the old people such as Bagong in the northwest, and they will go to the new village where Qilian Village moved out to pay New Year's greetings to people after the New Year, and Hongsheng is still busy in the Suzhou branch, so there are only Cai Tianshou and his wife, Cai Hongming, Shi Wan'er's mother and daughter, and Ah Gong Cai Lang when the New Year's celebration is around the stove in southern Fujian.
Although there are few people, the atmosphere of the New Year is not deserted at all.
Because on this day, the people of southern Fujian want to worship their ancestors and send the gods to the heavenly court to report their work, and after all the worship, the family members who have been busy all day will take a bath and change into new clothes and gather around the fireplace.
The fire is strong, and the family eats, drinks, and talks around the fireplace, which is very lively.
I haven't seen him for a year, Cai Lang asked his grandson, is the family in the northwest? Cai Hongming told his grandfather about his pharmacy and farm, and when he described the spectacular scene of yaks, ostriches, and corn and sweet potatoes in the desert, Cai Lang was a little fascinated. He has traveled south and north in his life, and he has never seen any big rivers, mountains and forests, but he has never seen the desert scenery full of yellow sand, but his mind is a little moved for a while.
After eating, the family sat together to watch the gala.
Cai Hongming also used his mobile phone to connect to the Internet, so that his grandfather and his second uncle could video with their parents, Hongsheng and others, and the old people couldn't keep their mouths together.
At twelve o'clock, Cai Hongming and his wife went outside to set off fireworks, and the fireworks bloomed in the sky, dazzling. Chu Chu, who was ignorant, looked at it in his mother's arms, and he didn't know what to remember, and his saliva flowed out.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, most of the time is when family and friends visit the house.
Cai Hongming is away all the year round, except for a few friends in the village in his hometown in southern Fujian, no one comes to look for him at all, but there are more people who talk to his grandfather.
His grandfather is nearly 100 years old, and although he only has two sons and two daughters under his name, there are many juniors below. On the first day of the new year, everyone came to visit. The old man was talking, and Cai Hongming and other grandchildren could only accompany him. Fortunately, there are two uncles and two aunts making tea to talk with, otherwise they will die of exhaustion.
When he returned to his parents' home in the second year of junior high school, southern Fujian was also called "please son-in-law".
Cai Hongming's family spilled out two basins of water, aunt Cai Yufeng and sister-in-law Cai Yuhuang came back with two uncles and a bunch of children, and the family gathered together, happy, noisy, and lively.
At noon, everyone simply set up a big table on the side of the old house and prepared a lot of vegetables to eat.
During the Spring Festival holiday, Cai Yufeng's son Jiang Yuhan and Cai Yuhuang's two sons and daughters, Lu Qiaohong and Lu Yimin, were on vacation, and the young people were very active, and they accompanied the old man for a morning, and they couldn't sit still in the afternoon, so they took Cai Hongming to take them to catch voles.
After coming back for a few days, either going out to visit relatives or chatting with the elderly at home, Cai Hongming felt that he was about to get moldy. Hearing their suggestions, I was also a little moved. So, I agreed.
Lu Qiaohong and the others were so happy that they didn't need Cai Hongming's instructions, so they went to find hoes, buckets and other things, and set off to dig voles.
Shi Wan'er had never seen a vole digger, so she was curious, and she also hugged her baby to join in the fun.
Although Caijia Village has a small population, it was well planned when it was first established. The whole village is built under a hillside, and it is a pattern that sits north and faces south. In front of the village is a rice paddy field, and a wide concrete road divides the rice paddy field from the village.
Now that the rice has been harvested, only a stubble of dry rice stands alone in the field.
There was no water in the field, and the field was dried up by the cold wind, cracked into pieces, and it was worrying to watch.
Shi Wan'er walked in the field, looking at the Jiangnan style that was different from the Northwest Desert, and breathed in the fresh breeze from the mountains. Looking at her husband who was being dragged forward by Lu Qiaohong and others, it seemed that there was a kind of girlish feelings rippling in my heart, spreading around like water ripples.
It's like a feeling of first love. (To be continued......)
