Chapter XXVII: Summary

These two little gangsters, as soon as they heard their grandmother call Liang Zi's name, and then looked at his fierce eyes, they felt a chill down their backs, and one of them couldn't stand it and ran away with his companions. Ran out of the way, being pulled to the ground panting, "You run?" What is there to be afraid of. I don't believe the two of us can beat one of him. ”

"Who are you? Saying it scares you to death, he is on this street, and he shouldn't be said to be a tyrant in our county. Fights and brawls are famous, don't die, and be ruthless. I heard that now I am mixed with individuals, and when I saw the public security before, it was a cat and a mouse, but now I sit with the public security and drink and call me a brother. ”

"Good girl, fortunately I didn't do it just now, and the two of us are not enough for others to play now."

Grandma welcomed Liang Zi in and gave him a few hot buns while they were hot. "Quick, your mother is waiting for you"

"Hey, that's embarrassing, Aunt Mo." Liang Zi excused himself, and then gave Fang Menan a look.

"Take it." Fang Monan said, and then said to grandma I will take Brother Liang in to find Grandma Liang. ”

"Good...... You go in first, I'll sell it for a while, and I'll go in later. Grandma said with a smile.

"Brother Liang Zi." When Liang Zi heard this, it was the most comfortable time in her heart, although she was very capable, she still had to call us brother.

"Alright, don't steal the fun. Hurry into the house, it's cold outside" Fang Monan is laughing? If you can't be polite in front of adults, it's still a must.

Since he had a wandering aura in his body, Fang Monan often played fruit seeds in his hand in his hand in the space, and practiced 'finger flicking magic skills' on the acupoints of bronze statues of the same height as people. In this way, I can kill two birds with one stone, both practice and recite acupuncture points, I have already gained a little, and I have not yet practiced it, I don't know whether the strength is light or heavy, alas, what a good opportunity, it's a pity.

It is also the 'little black house' in the north house, as soon as Fang Monan enters, he pulls the lamp rope, and the 15-watt Uss bulb is yellow. Fang Menan sat on the kang and motioned for him to sit down as well.

Liang Zi sat down excitedly and took out a large cloth bag from his underwear as usual. "I went to the city this time and sold nearly 50 radios." His voice trembled a little with excitement. "I also sold 50 calculators and 2,000 electronic watches."

Fang Menan picked up the bill, saw it at a glance, looked at it, and nodded. "It seems that the purchasing power of the city is still strong, especially as it approaches the end of the year."

"It's not, it's like robbing, as if you don't want money." Liang Zi gestured with his hand excitedly.

"It's very tiring to do this," Fang Monan looked at Liang Zi and lost some weight.

Running a store is also very tedious, Liang Zi and the three of them are busy almost day and night, selling goods during the day, and taking inventory, keeping accounts, and cleaning up the store at night.

In particular, Liang Zi and the thin monkey have to go to the city and the provincial capital.

"I'm not tired, I work very hard, and all the tiredness disappears when I count the money at night." Liang Zi said with a smile.

"The three of us didn't feel tired at all, the fat man was at home watching the stall, and I went to the city. The thin monkey went to the provincial capital with the goods on his back, and it was estimated that he would get it. Liang Zi paused for a moment and hesitated and said Nannan, I gave them those beads and small wallets in the unit to sell calculators for nothing. Those gadgets cost only a penny or two, so ...... People like to be greedy. ”

"Liangzi, you are really good for business, and you also buy one get one free promotion. Okay, no. Fang Menan admired him more and more, and without any guidance, he was willing to spend his mind and brains pondering.

"If the skinny monkey comes, go to your house at night and wait, something's wrong." Fang Monan said before leaving, and then took some 'chickens, ducks, fish, and meat' from home for him to take home.

At dusk, grandma put away the steamed bun stall and prepared the sacrificial stove, and the Spring Festival in our country is generally kicked off from the sacrificial stove. In the folk song, "twenty-three, sugar melon sticky" refers to the sacrificial stove on the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar month every year.

The sacrificial stove is a custom that has a great influence on the people and spreads widely. In the old days, almost every stove was equipped with a "stove king" shrine. When building the kitchen, grandma also specially asked for a statue of the king of the stove to hang on the back of the kitchen. Most of the statues of the Lord of the Stove are also printed with the calendar of the year, and the words "the master of the East Kitchen", "the god of supervision in the world", and "the head of the family" are written to indicate the status of the god of the stove. On both sides, the couplet 'God says good things, and the lower world keeps peace' to bless the safety of the whole family.

Zao Wang Ye had stayed at home since Chinese New Year's Eve the previous year to protect and monitor the family; On the 23rd day of the lunar month, the Lord of the Stove will ascend to heaven and report the good deeds or evil deeds of this family to the Jade Emperor in the sky, and the ritual of sending the Stove God is called "sending the stove" or "resigning the stove". According to the report of the Lord of the Stove, the Jade Emperor handed over the fate of the good fortune and fortune that the family should get in the new year to the Lord of the Stove. Therefore, for the family, the report of the Lord of the Stove is really of great interest.

It just so happened that my mother also went home on vacation, grandma led them to send the stove together, the family went to the stove room first, put the table, grandma to the stove in the shrine of the stove wall of the stove respectful incense, not grandma did this before, but since the space is related to Guanyin Bodhisattva, grandma believes in Buddhism more. On the table, there are sugar melons made of starch sugar and noodles. Using caramel to worship the king of the stove is to make his old man sweet. She said more good things while painting, and don't say bad things. "This is to plug the mouth of the Lord of the Stove with sugar and make him stop saying bad things. After the grandmother finished coating the mouth of the king of the stove with sugar, she took off the idol and ascended to heaven with paper and cigarettes.

The ritual is simple, but the grandmother is very religious.

After dinner, Grandma gathered the whole family together and took the ledger, which of course only she could understand. Speaking of which, from the beginning of setting up a stall in September to the present, plus the money from selling vegetables today, in addition to costs, expenses, management fees, and sanitation fees, we have earned as much as 700 yuan. Since then, as long as grandma is still doing business, every Chinese New Year's Eve, grandma will tell everyone the accounts of the year.

"Good ...... It's been less than five months. The aunt was shocked and couldn't close her mouth and shouted, her family's life is better, from the family table, you can see from the fruits you usually eat, I didn't expect there to be so many.

Dad and Mom were also shocked, the combined salaries of the two of them were only more than 50 a month, and if they worked hard for a year, it would be 600, and they didn't eat or drink. It's too hard for them, isn't it?

Old Man Lin nodded, indicating that it was about the same as he expected, and he did okay.

"Now I tell you solemnly, you are not allowed to go outside to show off or show off, and you will put my tail between my legs and be a man. Who has changed this day, if others ask, they just say that they make ends meet, and they can't say how much they have earned when they die. If they don't believe it, that's their business, and who can really come to our house to find out. Grandma said with a straight face that you must remember it, don't take it seriously. This is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves, if anyone's mouth can't hold the door, don't blame me for relying on the old and selling the old, and being polite to you. She eased the atmosphere and said, remember, we want to make a lot of money in silence, don't shoot guns." Grandma also used her hands to compare the posture of shooting.

"Alright, that's it," Grandma finished speaking.

"Hey...... Look at our mother, now there is a lot of landlord and old wealth. The aunt poked her mother and smiled.

"Xiaoyan, you just give me a long memory, just give me your fiery temper and big mouth, give me a little leisure." Grandma unceremoniously 'snapped' an iron sand palm and knocked it on her head.

Everyone laughed .......

"It seems that our mother is really rich, this waist is straight, look at this voice is different, the voice is really loud." Auntie touched her head and said, don't worry, I'm measured, my classmates still look down on me, no one does it with me, plus I'm older than them, a group of hairy children, there are fun, and now I focus on learning. "She has endured the hardships of being uneducated.

"By the way, sister, are we ready, let me see it." The aunt changed the subject.

The aunt stinkily pulled her mother to the bedroom, took it out, shook it and put it on, looked in the mirror, and turned around, it was so beautiful.

"Sister, your skills are so good." The big red coat, simple and generous Chinese style, round doll collar, highlighting the lines, taking advantage of her slender body, just wearing the upper body, looks a little playful and cute in the youth and beauty.

"Uh-huh, it's beautiful." Mom nodded with satisfaction with the effect.

"Sister, I'll take a look at you." The aunt took out the old ** moon white tweed coat again, "Wow" This one is more beautiful. "I can't put it down.

Then he took out the clothes inside, two men's ones, blue-black, also Chinese-style, loose casual style, "Go, let my brother-in-law try them on." The aunt pushed my mother to the living room.

The aunt urged her father to put it on, and kept nodding, "It's much better than the ones sold outside." There's also a men's piece inside. ”

Dad was wearing new clothes, touching happily, and being stupid.

"The one inside is what I asked your mother to make for Old Man Lin." Grandma replied. "Let's let people help us all day long, especially you, Nannan, and Xiaobei, and teach you knowledge, and it was okay in ancient times...... 'Oh, it's the New Year's Eve, let's make a dress for the teacher," he said, taking it out of his aunt's hand and handing it to Mr. Lin.

Old Man Lin took it a little flattered, "I have it too." "It's been so many years that I haven't received new clothes.

He is a hot-blooded young man, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the Anti-Japanese War from overseas, was warmly received by 'them', and finally joined **. I thought that the founding of New China should live a stable life, but who would have thought that it would encounter another turbulent era. He used his connections to send all his children abroad, which can be regarded as his 'hometown'. Originally, he wanted to stay with him, but unfortunately he happened to be seriously ill and was forcibly sent out, leaving him alone, with no news for a long time, and I don't know if I can see him in my lifetime.

Old Man Lin wiped his moist eyes and said good ...... Okay......" took the clothes and left.

Leaving them to look at each other, looking at the lonely figure of the old man, they sighed. Some guesses were made from the old man's speech and demeanor, but they didn't dare to touch the scars in the old man's heart.

"Alright, next is your clothes, Mom." The aunt looked at them embarrassedly while taking out grandma's clothes.

Grandma only wears clothes with a slanted placket, and she has never worn the clothes on the opposite door in her life. Even the coat is an improved version of the slightly oblique clothes, and the grandmother wears it very rich and spiritual. One person in one body, and the pants are all black pants with thick twill.

"There are no clothes for our Nannan and Xiaobei." The aunt looked through it and looked at her mother.

"The clothes of the two of them will be able to rush out in a few days, don't panic, just in time for the New Year." Mom said neatly.

After admiring the clothes, the aunt took them off and put on homely ones, led Fang Monan and Xiaobei, took the pants, and went to Mr. Lin's house uneasily.

Dad went to the kitchen to see how it was cleaned up, and it happened to seal the stove.

"By the way, I asked someone to buy some rare snacks, and I can't keep them for long. You pick some of the same, and you also pick some fresh vegetables from the backyard, wrap them all, and go back to his house with Zhengping. Besides, it is an elder, and the etiquette cannot be abolished. In terms of etiquette, they can't pick it out. Grandma opened a big box and pointed to the various snacks inside.

Mom saw that the dim sum was not only varied, but also beautifully packaged, which she had never seen before. Then unpack one by one, take out some of them, and put the rest inside, until it's full, and then stop. "Okay, just when the meaning is reached, keep the rest for the children to eat."

"Okay, now let's go hot and try it first. I've never seen such a delicate dim sum in so many years. "Grandma took a plate, picked some of the same, packed it, and went to the kitchen to warm it up. Let's do this today.

"Come out and try it." Grandma brought out the hot dim sum, which was hot and fragrant.

"Wow, it smells so good." The aunt smelled the fragrance and came here. "Everyone, it's so beautiful, I'm reluctant to eat it."

When they heard the sound, Old Man Lin took a look, "It seems that authentic Cantonese dim sum is not authentic." ”

"Let's eat, eat." Grandma handed them the chopsticks and asked them to clip them. "It's the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and I haven't received any orders, and everyone is busy cleaning up their homes and buying New Year's goods. Just take the holidays and don't have to get up too early. If you go to bed later tonight, you should have an extra meal. ”

"Hmmm, it's delicious." The aunt picked it up, and after eating, smashed it and smashed it, and the meaning was still unfinished.

"The taste is slightly worse, not as delicious as freshly baked." After tasting it, Mr. Lin said, I think I haven't eaten it when I traveled south and north, and I haven't eaten it for a long time, which is nostalgic and old

After eating it, my father and mother only thought it was delicious, but the adult man thought that dessert was usually eaten with children, so he put down his chopsticks.

After Fang Monan tasted it, he also put down the chopsticks, and the mailed ones still tasted bad, but the process was so expensive that she had a heart, probably because she was a woman, and the ones she sent were sweet, and she had to remember to thank you when she wrote the letter. Looking at the dim sum, maybe the breakfast could be made with some salty Cantonese dim sum, well, that's it.

Originally, it wasn't much, but Aunt Xiao and Xiaobei ate it quickly. It was not early, everyone washed up and went to bed, and had a good night's sleep.
