Chapter 103: Jubilant

Early in the morning of the first day, Wu Hua woke up in a commotion, and when he went out of the room, he saw that it was the fourth uncle and his father who were pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Mother began to clean early, from the house to the outside of the house, are carefully cleaned, the house has this custom, the year before the big cleaning, you can clean the bad things accumulated in the year, to welcome the good luck of the new year.

Wu Hua washed up and went to the door.

The fourth uncle was holding the ladder, and the father was standing on the ladder with the door link in his hand, and he was trembling forward at the moment, listening to the fourth uncle directing the angle of the door link under the ladder.

The door couplet has been pasted aside, Wu Hua looked at the pile of old paper torn off the ground, and then looked at the Spring Festival couplets that had been pasted next to him, and instantly felt a new feeling.

Looking at his father's back, Wu Hua was a little worried, so he stepped forward to hold on to the ladder and shouted up: "Dad, you come down, I'll post it."

Wu Aiguo pondered the angle of the Spring Festival couplet, and did not stop because of Wu Hua's words, only to see that he found the right position, accurately pasted it to the edge of the door, and then followed the paper of the Spring Festival couplet, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and pushed down a few ladders when it reached a certain height, and then continued to push and paste, until it went down to the bottom of the ladder and finished pasting.

"It's all right." After pasting, Wu Aiguo looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction, and the couplets on both sides were very symmetrical.

Looking at the pasted Spring Festival couplets, Wu Shengrong was very happy, and as soon as the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, he finally felt like the New Year. Looking at the mess all over the ground, Wu Shengrong habitually squatted down, scooped up the paper on the ground with his hands, and then crumpled the paper into a ball.

Wu Hua saw that there was some dust on the ground, and saw that the fourth uncle went to pick it up casually, so he said: "Fourth uncle, it's okay, I'll use a broom to sweep it later."

Wu Shengrong didn't care, continued to pick up some of the scraps of paper left around, smiled honestly, and said, "It's okay, just pick it up."

Wu Hua saw that the advice was ineffective, so he didn't say anything. Wu Aiguo looked at the pasted Spring Festival couplets and was very satisfied, and then said to Wu Shengrong on the side: "Fourth, bring the paste and go to your house to paste it."

Wu Shengrong said hello, walked forward to clean up, and then held the paste in one hand and rolled up some door links that had not yet been pasted in the other, and prepared to walk home.

Wu Hua saw that Wu Aiguo was about to carry the ladder, so he went to pull the ladder and said to Wu Aiguo: "Dad, I'll stick it, you can rest for a while."

Wu Aiguo held the ladder, pushed Wu Hua's hand, and urged: "You hurry up and go to breakfast, I can handle it."

Wu Hua saw that his father didn't let him, and he thought that his stomach was indeed a little hungry, so he said, "Okay, then you pay attention to your own safety."

Wu Aiguo said yes, and walked towards Wu Shengrong's house with a ladder.

The Spring Festival couplets were pasted, and the house was cleaned by his mother, looking at the new home, Wu Hua felt a lot happier in his heart, so he hummed a song and went out for a walk.

The last time I came back, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to go out for a walk, so Wu Hua sighed and walked out.

Passing by Aunt Chen's commissary, Wu Hua paused and happily greeted Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen was fiddling with the things on the shelves, and when she saw Wu Hua walking by, she greeted Wu Hua very enthusiastically, and asked Wu Hua with a smile if she had brought her girlfriend back.

Wu Hua didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled and said, "How dare you bring it back if you don't make any money."

Aunt Chen listened to Wu Hua's polite words, and she didn't take it too seriously, but just joked: "Your parents are in a hurry to hold their grandson, you have to work harder."

Wu Hua grinned, didn't take it seriously, exchanged a few words with Aunt Chen, and then walked to the other end.

Feeling the soft light of the warm winter sun, the temperature in the depths of winter has gradually changed slightly.

Walking on the road around the house, looking at the Spring Festival couplets in front of the surrounding houses, watching the busyness in front of and behind the houses, killing chickens and ducks, frying New Year's goods, and the Spring Festival couplets are everywhere, I can't help but feel a little feeling in my heart.

Watching the children walking around the neighborhood with candy, watching the old people laughing and praising the young people who came back from their outings, and looking at the middle-aged men and women playing poker together in the streets and alleys, the joy of the New Year was filled with happiness on their faces.

Wu Hua walked into the alley, greeted the uncles and aunts who played cards one by one, and then symbolically stopped to watch them play poker. Watching them chatting, wandering in the sea of cards, and listening to their casual and truthful local dialects, Wu Hua couldn't help but sigh that this is the free, loose, pure and simple life in the county.

After watching it for about ten minutes, Wu Hua felt that it was almost time to come out, so he said hello to the uncles and aunts who didn't play cards around, and said goodbye and left.

Everyone looked at Wu Hua politely and humble, and he was easy-going, and couldn't help but praise a few more words.

When I returned home, my mother was still cleaning pots and pans in the kitchen, so Wu Hua didn't bother, turned around and walked into his room, took off his coat and shoes, lifted the quilt and got in.

No mobile phone, no computer, no WIFI and barbecue, no matter how good his time is, it is better to meet with Zhou.

I slept at home for a few hours, during which my mother came to call for dinner, Wu Hua didn't get up, and Tian Huiying thought about her son's dinner at 11 o'clock, Xu was not hungry, so she let him continue to sleep. Wu Hua fell asleep and didn't know the time, and when he woke up, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

After casually putting on clothes and shoes, Wu Hua went out to find food.

Tian Huiying was not at home, Xu went out to the neighborhood to shop, Wu Aiguo's door was closed, Wu Hua guessed that his father must be sleeping at the moment, so he didn't bother. When I got out of the room, I went to the kitchen to heat up some food to eat.

Wu Hua slept at home for two days, Tian Huiying had prepared all the New Year's goods, and the family happily ushered in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, her mother called Wu Hua to get up very early, and Wu Hua, who was still asleep, was woken up by her mother.

Wu Hua yawned, rubbed his eyes, and looked at his mother sleepily.

Tian Huiying saw that her son was sleepy, and she couldn't bear to disturb her, but today the family was going to sacrifice to the ancestors, and the table where the incense table and some sacrificial fruits were to be moved out, and Wu Aiguo couldn't move heavy objects because he had been injured in his leg before, so he came to call Wu Hua for help.

Because they belong to the same ancestor, Wu Shengrong's family did not go to get three other animals, but worshiped with Wu Aiguo.

The things to worship the ancestors were ready, and Wu Hua also followed his mother and the four uncles and aunts to worship together, Wu Hua remembered that when he was a child, his mother would always ask if there was anything that needed the blessing of the ancestors when worshipping the ancestors, and he could recite it silently in his heart.

Wu Hua used to feel that he was still young and didn't need to operate anything, and he didn't think that his ancestors would be able to hear anything when he saw it, so he didn't take it seriously. But at this moment, after experiencing a lifetime of reincarnation, he felt that many things were possible, thinking about his fate from scratch, thinking about his father's and mother's future lives, and all the things he was looking forward to, Wu Hua closed his eyes and followed his mother and read silently.

He prayed that he could change the fate of his previous life and live a wonderful life again, he prayed that his parents would be healthy, free from disasters and live a long life, he prayed that everything would develop according to his own ideas, and he prayed that everything would not be too bad......

After silently reading a few words, Wu Hua bowed deeply again. May all things come true.

After worshipping the ancestors, Wu Hua helped his mother boil the bath water again. Fill the pot with water, then boil it over a coal fire, sprinkle some red yeast rice in the boiling hot water, and when the water is at the right temperature, you can use it to rinse your body. Red yeast water bath means that the new year is prosperous.

According to the previous annual practice, after the ancestor sacrifice on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the adults began to prepare bath water, and after lunch, the children were allowed to take a bath first, and the adults were busy preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Wu Hua was boiling water, but his thoughts flew to a long time ago, looking at the boiling red yeast water in the pot, Wu Hua had a moment of flashing, and seemed to have returned to his childhood.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Huiying almost prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, looked at Wu Hua sitting idly in the living room, and asked Wu Hua to go to Wu Shengrong's house to shout Wu Aiguo to eat.

Wu Hua was about to go out, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his father leading the fourth uncle's family towards the door of his house, and the fourth aunt was still carrying a bucket in her hand, the bucket was heavy, as if it contained a lot of things.

Before Wu Hua could ask, Wu Aiguo shouted from a distance and said, "Xiaohua, ask your mother if the food is ready, and your fourth uncle's family will come over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together."

Wu Hua sighed, nodded, and then said, "Oh, it's all ready, I'm going to call you home for dinner." The four uncles and four aunts ate together, which was more lively. ”

"I also said yes, your fourth uncle is still embarrassed to come." Wu Aiguo was very satisfied with his son's answer, because he could see that Wu Hua was still very close to this fourth uncle.

"What's so embarrassing, Fourth Qiuping, come on, come on, and get ready to eat."

Tian Huiying, who was in the back room, heard the movement outside, and before she could put the food in her hand, she came out to respond.

Wu Shengrong smiled innocently, scratched his head, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's embarrassing to always trouble the third brother and third sister-in-law."

"What's the trouble, isn't it just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks, the fourth child, you said you, why do you see the outside like an outsider." Tian Huiying said with some dissatisfaction, she couldn't get used to the cowardly appearance of the fourth child, and she looked like an outsider.

Wu Shengrong didn't know how to answer, smirked and followed his eldest brother into the house together.

Xu Qiuping walked up to Tian Huiying with a bucket and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, this is the dish prepared by our family, I brought it over, I'm afraid it will be bad tomorrow."

Tian Huiying was not polite, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go, go to the kitchen to help me, eat early, and let's go to the street in the evening."

"Oh, okay." Xu Qiuping said, and followed Tian Huiying into the kitchen
