"Happy New Year, Uncle Branch!"

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I got up happily early in the morning, and went down the mountain with my family to pay New Year's greetings to the neighbors of Zhangjia Village.

At the time of the demolition, some of the old neighbors in Zhangjia Village who had been in the neighborhood for decades did not want to be separated too far, but they could not find a place for this large group of people to live.

After learning about this incident from Uncle Haohan, Happy asked Wu Xiaosong to discuss with the village party secretaries of several villages at the foot of the mountain, and rented a vacant room in the villagers' homes for the people of Zhangjia Village to live in.

In this way, under the happy arrangement, most of the people in Zhangjia Village moved to several villages near the farm.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival couplets have already been pasted outside the door of every household in the village, and the flaming red red lanterns have been hung, and on the road, all kinds of red, green, purple, and pink broken paper scraps are scattered all over the place, and occasionally there are some gunpowder smells that have not yet dissipated, which is the traces left after the fireworks were set off last night.

Early in the morning, the chimneys of every house have begun to rise green smoke, and the woody fragrance from the charcoal burning slowly drifts into the distance under the blowing of the morning breeze, mixed with the faint smell of gunpowder residues, full of a strong New Year's smell.

"Yo! Happy to come! Xiaobu, Xiaosun, haha Happy New Year! Happy New Year! The old man of the village party secretary of Zhangjia Village opened the door and saw a happy family of three standing at the door with gifts, and immediately smiled, and immediately pulled Happy into the house, "Come on, come on." It's winter, come in quickly, don't freeze! ”

"Uncle Branch. We won't go in, and my parents and I have to say goodbye to my uncle and uncle to visit the New Year! Happy pointed to the car he drove outside the house, and the open rear compartment was full of New Year's goods!

"Huh? That's it! When the old branch secretary looked at it, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes that were slightly cloudy due to old age, "Good boy!" Then you should go and get busy first, and remember to come to your uncle's house for dinner at noon! Uncle can prepare dishes and chopsticks for you! ”

"Huh? Good! Looking at the enthusiasm and expectation on the face of the old branch secretary, he was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and agreed.

"Yo! Happy, small steps, this big New Year. How did you guys get here? At this time, the door of a house opposite the village party secretary opened, and an old man with a gray beard walked out of it and saw the happy family. A heartfelt smile suddenly appeared on the wrinkled face.

This old man is the only remaining clan elder in Zhangjia Village. Now he is almost 100 years old.

"Clan Grandpa," he looked at happily, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arm, "The road is slippery in this winter, you should be careful of this." ”

At the same time, Bu Yuanting and Sun Wanqin had already walked up with New Year's goods: "Uncle, Happy New Year!" ”

"Good! Good! Good boy! "Seeing that the family of Xin deliberately came down early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to themselves, the face of the patriarch suddenly smiled more like chrysanthemums." It just so happens that a few rabbit cubs in my family are going home for dinner today, so you can come to grandpa's house for dinner at noon today! ”

"That's not going to work!" Listen to what the clan elder said. The old branch secretary who was standing at the opposite door immediately said, "Uncle, I have already told them that they will come to our house for dinner at noon!" ”

"What's going on?" Hearing the old branch secretary say this, the clan elder's face, which was still smiling just now, couldn't help but turn cold, glanced at the old branch secretary and said, "You kid feel that your hair is gray, it's not big or small, right?" Do you want your uncle and me to rob guests? Believe it or not, in a few years, I'll go up to your dad and sue you! ”

"Uh......" When the old branch secretary heard this, he was immediately speechless.

The old branch secretary's father passed away a few years ago, and the meaning of the clan elder's words clearly means that he is going down to sue the gang!

Happy immediately said on the side: "Clan grandfather, this is the New Year, don't say such unlucky words!" You will live a long life! ”

When the clan elder heard this, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the happy head as before, but found that at this time, even if he stood on tiptoe, he could no longer touch the happy head, so he immediately put down his hand and patted it lightly on the back of the happy hand: "Haha! Good boy, your grandfather, I am ninety-eight years old this year! In two years, I will be 100 years old! ”

"Huh?" Happy suddenly remembered that this clan grandfather is not ninety-eight years old this year.

Bu Yuanting on the side immediately smiled and said: "Clan Elder, look at your current good body, it's no problem to live another hundred years old, the blessing of grandchildren and grandchildren here, you still have to enjoy it!" ”

When the clan elder heard this, he immediately laughed: "Haha! If I live for another hundred years, then I won't be a monster! I'm going to be grabbed and studied by a bunch of white coats! ”

"Haha!" A few people didn't expect the clan elder to be so funny, and they couldn't help but chuckle.

After chatting for a while, the patriarch also knew that the Happy Family was busy greeting the people of Zhangjia Village, so he didn't stay longer, but just blessed them with lunch and must come to their house to eat, otherwise he would personally go up the mountain to invite them!

In the face of the kind invitation of the clan elder, the happy family finally agreed, and as for the old branch secretary, he was naturally invited by the clan elder together.

The New Year's is full of people! Besides, this old branch secretary and the clan elder were originally uncles and nephews, and the two families were originally scheduled to dine together in the evening, but it doesn't hurt to get together and even eat two meals!

Next, Happy and his parents went door-to-door to send New Year's greetings to the people of Zhangjia Village, and by the time the last one was delivered, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

"Hey! Happy kid, it's really good to have nothing to say! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I came over to pay New Year's greetings and send New Year's goods, hey! What a boy! ”

"Hey! Oh, yes! This family is really a good person and has a good reward! Now that the family is reunited, I am happy that this child is also promising, and he has engaged in such a big career, it can be regarded as God's eyes! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Thinking about the time when Xiaobu came to the village with his children to settle down, he didn't expect that more than 20 years would have passed in the blink of an eye! Now. He's also bittersweet! ”

"What a shame! When the father and son first arrived in the village, I just gave them a quilt, but I didn't expect them to remember it to this day. Look at the New Year's goods they sent, there is wine and food, and it will cost thousands! ”

"Thousands? Don't laugh! Go and see what is engraved on that jar of wine! That's the famous battlefield wine! I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of dollars in one jar on the market now! ”

"Huh?!"

Conversations like this resounded in the families of all Zhangjia villagers, and many simple villagers immediately instructed their families not to touch this jar of wine after knowing that it cost hundreds of thousands, and then send it back to Happy after the New Year.

Of course, for this sent out wine. Happiness will not be accepted under any circumstances.

If it weren't for the help and support of the villagers of Zhangjia Village, I am afraid that Bu Yuanting and Xingxing, a father and son, would have been living on the streets and dying!

Back then, it was the people of Zhangjia Village who gave them a place to settle down without any return. Then each family had money and made a powerful contribution to help the father and son who had fallen into his house to clean up a clean and warm home.

In the first year, because happiness was still young. Bu Yuanting couldn't leave Happy to work. Therefore, both of them relied on the help of the whole village to get through this year!

For Bu Yuanting and Xingxing, all the villagers of Zhangjia Village are their saviors, the father and son were not able to repay anything, but now that the family is financially well-off, they naturally have to do their best to repay the villagers!

At noon that year, the happy family of three naturally went to the grandfather's house to eat, and while the family was waiting for the meal, the people of Zhangjia Village each ran into the family home with their own baskets. Under the gaze of everyone, the dishes that were still steaming were brought out of the basket one by one.

They knew that they happily agreed to the meal of the Taoist family's hometown. So I cooked a few dishes at home and sent them over.

The simple people of Zhangjia Village use this way to express their gratitude and welcome to the happy family.

"What are you doing here?" In the face of this group of enthusiastic villagers, the old man of the clan was not happy, "Dare to love you, are you worried that they will not be able to eat enough here or what?" One by one, they still came to the door with food plates?! ”

"Hehe, clan uncle, don't get me wrong, I know that you were a famous chef in Jinghua back then! But who makes you old and happy, we can't invite them, of course, we can only carry the dishes to your house, it will be regarded as borrowing your table! An old man of the same generation as the old branch secretary smiled and commanded his daughter-in-law to move the vegetables out of the basket, and regardless of the patriarch's posture of blowing his beard and staring, he put the dishes on the table.

At this time, four large dining tables have been installed in the entire living room, on the dining table, large and small plates are densely placed, and it is roughly estimated that there are more than 100 dishes, and outside the house, the people of Zhangjia Village are still carrying a steady stream of insulated vegetable baskets to deliver food!

At this time, the whole courtyard was lively and noisy, and a large group of people from Zhangjia Village gathered together, chatting, while looking at which family was coming to deliver food, chatting so much that it was a lot of fun.

Inside the house, the happy family was already crying and laughing at the dishes that had been stacked three or four layers before they were eaten, so many dishes, how to eat them!

"These little bunnies are really upside down!" Looking at the villagers outside who were already so lively, the clan elder finally couldn't help it, walked out of the living room with an aggrieved face, and called the old branch secretary, "Stinky boy, why are you still stunned?" Why don't you hurry up and discuss with the village chief of Luoyan Village if you can rent us the village hall here, I have such a big fart here, where can I accommodate so many people to eat! ”

"Huh?" When the old branch secretary heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he was happy, okay! I'll do it! When the other villagers heard this, they even smiled one by one.

Only the clan elders, looking at the smiling juniors in front of him, took out the dry tobacco pouch sullenly, and took a puff fiercely: "The people's customs are declining!" The people's customs are declining! These little rabbits don't know anything about respecting the old and loving the young! Old man, I finally had a happy meal, and I just let these little bunnies mess up! If you go down in the future, you have to sue them in front of the dads of these little bunnies! ”

In the depression of the clan elders, the people of the entire Zhangjia Village held a conference dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

For Mao, there is no such awesome character in our village as happy?! Countless thoughts of envy and jealousy swirled in the minds of countless villagers in neighboring villages.

But no matter how red they are, there is only one happiness, and there is only one in Zhangjiacun! (To be continued......)
