Speaking of the Chinese New Year, adults and children in this period are particularly yearning for it, because on this day, even in the poor people's homes, they try to make a good table of food so that the family can eat and drink. And the Chinese New Year also means that it is lively, festive, and cheerful, and people naturally feel happy.

Now people are thinking about leaving behind all the troubles of the past year and welcoming the next year full of unknowns and a beautiful year. The rich and powerful people in the city will always put a blessing on the gate on this day, and also hang a red lantern, the fiery red color, like a fire, hoping to have a good meaning, a good omen for the coming year.

Of course, compared with the state town, county seat, even the county seat, Weijiazhuang seems to be a little deserted. In the past few years, the harvest at home has not been as good as a year, and the landlord's family has not much surplus grain, let alone ordinary people.

Old man Wei's wife died relatively early, and he has raised five children alone in the past few years. Fortunately, he practiced martial arts when he was young, his physical fitness is good, and he is relatively cheerful, otherwise this situation would have exhausted him a long time ago.

Because of poverty, none of the three older children in the family have started a family, and the fourth and fifth are girls and young, so they usually help themselves with housework at home.

The eldest and second are working in the county town, and the third child has a bad temperament since he was a child, and he can't do anything for a few days before running home, and his temperament is too active, and he thinks about things that are out of tune every day. One day just a few months ago, I heard that the bandits of Ziyun Mountain had let the official army run away, and they were recruiting soldiers, and the old man Wei actually sent the third Wei Lin to Ziyun Mountain to be a soldier on a whim. First, I hope that I can discipline his character through the military camp, and second, I heard that after becoming a soldier, I have a lot of monthly money.

It's the New Year, and I see that the eldest and second have come back for several days, and tomorrow it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I won't see the third child come back.

Although Old Man Wei didn't say anything, in his heart, it was reasonable for the New Year to be a family reunion, especially after the death of his wife, he cared about every New Year.

I didn't sleep well all night, and before the rooster crowed in the morning, Old Man Wei got up and got busy.

"Lao Wei, has your third child come back?"

"No! That stinky boy sent me a letter some time ago saying that he was very busy, and he was training now! ”

"Alas! You say that you are usually busy, so come back for the New Year! ”

"Well, I guess I'll be back when I'm done."

After Old Man Wei said a few words, he didn't follow up with his neighbors, walked out of the yard and squatted to the corner, looked at the avenue in the direction of Ziyun Mountain, took out his beloved dry tobacco pouch pinned to his waist, trembled slightly and carefully pinched a little tobacco leaf and lit it, sucking it without a match.

Wei Lin was overjoyed when he heard the news of the holiday in the morning. Some time ago, he didn't know if the barracks would be on holiday, so when he sent a letter to his father, he didn't mention whether he would return to the New Year, and he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

After happily saying hello to several other people in a dormitory, he hurriedly walked towards the property department.

After receiving his supplies, Wei Lin thought about hurrying up and going home, with these things, he could have a good New Year this year.

But after thinking about it, I have been out for several months, and I have saved a lot of monthly money, so it is better to get some New Year's goods for my family.

Thinking of this, I asked the property department for a while to know that it was okay to buy some supplies with money, but everyone had a limited amount of each thing.

Wei Lin thought about it, pulled a few feet of new cloth for the fourth and fifth sisters, they were skillful, and went back and let them make a few new clothes to wear. Bring two catties of wine to the eldest brother, second brother, and father, and everyone will have a good drink during the New Year. Dad seems to be good at smoking dry tobacco, Wei Lin asked the property department, there is really a little dry tobacco leaves, Wei Lin bought half a catty, and when he goes home, he can let his dad smoke this, which is much better than the one he smokes now.

In less than ten o'clock, Wei Lin had prepared everything, sorted out his camouflage uniform, wiped his shoes, and Wei Lin hurried back in the direction of Weijiazhuang.

In fact, the base is not far from Weijiazhuang, after all, the first item in the last knockout is to go to Weijiazhuang, and in order to facilitate everyone's travel between the base and the county, Zhu Jian has repaired and expanded this road many times, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a generous avenue.

Originally, Wei Lin, as one of the eight major generals, had his own horses, and he could ride back when he went home.

However, I know my own affairs, and now that I am a year, after returning home, it is a burden for people to eat, and I am happy to ride the horse back, but my father is estimated to be sad.

Now it is no better than in summer, and the horse can eat some roadside grass, and in the winter, where to give it whole food. Besides, it wasn't far away, and it wouldn't take long for Wei Lin's foot strength to go back.

Wei Lin hurried to the road while thinking about the joy of this little sister and the others when they saw the cloth, and let him walk back in an hour after a distance of less than twenty miles. As soon as I entered the village, I saw children playing and adults playing all kinds of busy work.

"Wei Lin, are you back?"

"Auntie, I'm back, have you eaten?"

"Are you doing it, have you eaten? If you don't come in and take a bite, you'll be cooked in no time. ”

"No, I guess my dad is waiting for me! I hurried home in a hurry. ”

"Then you should go back quickly! Speaking of which, when I went over there today, I saw your father outside alone, so I guess I was waiting for you to come back. ”

"Alas, then I won't talk about it, auntie, I'll talk about it when I have time!"

Seeing Wei Lin hurriedly go home with a bunch of things, it provoked a bunch of people on the side.

"Wei Lin has a chance, look at how many things you got when you came back this time."

"Yes! It seems that Wei Lin really went to Ziyun Mountain to go to the right place, and it is estimated that he really has monthly money every month. ”

"Nonsense, at that time, I asked our boss to go too, but you didn't let me, saying that it was a lie. Look at Wei Lin, or Lao Wei has ideas, our Wei Jiazhuang also sent their third child to them at that time, and now he knows that he envies others. ”

"What envy! I'm just talking, I have time to go to Lao Wei's house and ask about the specific situation. ”

"Heartbeat? Now it's one thing whether people take it or not. ”

Not to mention the envy of everyone, let's just say Wei Lin, when he heard the people in the village say that his father was waiting for him in the morning, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, so he didn't chat with everyone, and walked quickly in the direction of home in two steps.

Far away, seeing that his father was still smoking in the corner of the wall outside his yard, Wei Lin suddenly felt as if something was blocked in his throat, very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

"San'er, why are you back? Got a holiday? Lao Wei habitually raised his eyes and looked at the intersection and stood up suddenly. After seeing Wei Lin, he asked in a trembling voice with an incredulous expression.

"Dad, I'm back."
