The changes in Nanjing City are also changing with each passing day, whether it is the change of the street, or from the internal changes, at this time the Jiangnan area is also in the best economic environment of the Republic of China, the activity of capital, it seems that the rise of China's economy is already expected, this is the stage of the golden decade of the Republic of China. Fastest updates

However, China's economic foundation is still too thin, even if there is no unexpected interruption, according to such a speed of civil exhibition, it will take at least two more golden decades, and it may be able to catch up with the footsteps of the West!

The Spring Festival of the 23rd year of the Republic of China is the 13th day of February in the Western calendar, which is the most traditional and lively festival in China.

Xiao Linghu and Yi Wei returned to Xiao's house, Feng Yi also returned to Kangbao Pharmacy on Qingshi Street, and soon, Xiao Huang also returned home from Jiangxi, and the family was reunited.

It was not until this time that Xiao Linghu knew Yi Wei's true identity, he turned out to be the youngest son of a commander of the Northeast Army, and in terms of family background, he was no worse than the Xiao family, so it was no wonder that the people of the Xiao family accepted this son-in-law so easily.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Huang took Xiao Linghu to drive to the Xiao family ancestral hall near Niushou Mountain in Jiangning County to worship, which was also a process of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, so that people in the clan knew that this was his son. Then Xiao Huang invited everyone to eat in the ancestral hall, and in front of everyone, asked the patriarch to add Xiao Linghu's name to the Xiao family tree, which is equivalent to officially recognizing Xiao Linghu as the son of the Xiao family, and in the future, even after Xiao Huang is a hundred years later, Xiao Linghu will have the legal right to inherit.

Early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Huang took Xiao Linghu to the ancestral grave mountain to burn paper and set off cannons for his parents, grandparents and other ancestors, and worked all day.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the five members of the Xiao family plus Yi Wei happily had a reunion first, listening to the constant sound of firecrackers outside, that kind of happiness that Xiao Linghu had never had since he was born.

He remembered when he was a child and back then, when he was alone, and what he was most afraid of was the New Year. During the Chinese New Year at Feng's house, although Feng Yi's mother would also make him a new dress and let him eat at home, that feeling was not happy, but made him feel a deep sense of inferiority, and always felt that he was an outcast that no one wanted. And during the New Year in the army, although it was also very lively, most of the time, everyone gathered around to drink, gamble, and paralyze themselves in frenzy, as if in this way they could forget all the misfortunes.

Until today, Xiao Linghu knows what it means to be a family together, and what it means to have a reunion dinner around a table, this kind of family affection can't be bought with no amount of time and money.

After the reunion dinner, Xiao Huang and Yan Meifeng were very happy to give red envelopes to the four people, Yi Wei and Xiao Lingsu took the lead in kowtowing to the old couple to greet the New Year, and then the two of them each got a red envelope; Then Xiao Linghu and Xiao Lingshuang also kowtowed to Xiao Huang and Yan Meifeng together, and also got two red envelopes.

Xiao Linghu couldn't wait to open the red envelope, and it turned out to be fifty yuan banknotes, these new coins are the latest issuance, according to the official exchange rate, one yuan is exchanged for a piece of ocean, but in fact, after the new currency is issued, no one uses the ocean to exchange for banknotes, everyone does not recognize the banknotes, and when they trade in private, ten yuan may also be exchanged for a piece of ocean.

Seeing Xiao Linghu's greed for money, Xiao Lingshuang was very unhappy and scolded: "Have you never seen money?" What a dirt bun! ”

Xiao Linghu glanced at her, didn't care, and said honestly: "I just haven't seen so much money!" ”

"Then you shouldn't be so embarrassed, okay? Won't you take it back to your room to see it? ”

"It's not stolen, it's given by my father and mother, why are you hiding from it?" Xiao Linghu disagreed.

"Humph! You're so undisciplined! Xiao Lingshuang scolded and turned his head to ignore him.

Yi Wei and Xiao Lingsu looked at each other and laughed, even Xiao Huang and Yan Meifeng laughed.

On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after everyone finished eating, most of them gathered together to chat and observe the New Year, and most families played mahjong or other games until 12 o'clock at midnight when the cannon was fired. Most people don't really have to stay up all night, and the night will gradually become quieter after the cannon is fired, because the next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they have to go out to pay New Year's greetings, so they also sleep.

Yan Meifeng likes to play mahjong, but when Xiao Huangshao had a home, the old husband and wife also wanted to have their own space, so they went back to the room early to rest, leaving Xiao Linghu and Yi Wei and the two sisters, these four people turned on the gramophone in the hall on the first floor and danced. Just jumping and jumping, and she was tired of dancing, Xiao Lingsu asked Xiao Linghu and her sister to wait for the New Year's Eve to fire, and she pulled Yi Wei to go upstairs to rest.

Xiao Linghu and Xiao Lingshuang were so tired that they couldn't jump anymore, so they sat on the sofa and leaned together, and they fell asleep like this, until they were woken up by the sound of crackling firecrackers outside. The two of them hurriedly ran outside to fire the cannon.

Zhang Dashan and his wife and Lao He of the porter had already set up the long whip at the gate, waiting for Xiao Linghu to light the cannon. Another half an hour passed for this toss, and it was too late to see that the two of them returned to the building.

Xiao Linghu sent Xiao Lingshuang back to her room, and when she passed by Xiao Lingsu's room, she heard the happy moans of men and women coming from inside, and even the sound of firecrackers constantly sounding outside could not be concealed.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Xiao Lingshuang was a little puzzled, and was about to knock on the door.

Xiao Linghu was from here, and immediately knew what was going on, he took Xiao Lingshuang's hand and said with a smile: "Yi Wei is sleeping with my sister!" ”

Xiao Lingshuang was stunned for a moment, and immediately her face turned red with shame, she was studying medicine, so she naturally knew what was going on.

Xiao Linghu was already up, listening to the sound coming from the door, he only felt that his body was about to burn, he hugged Xiao Lingshuang in his arms, kissed her face, and pleaded softly in her ear: "I'll accompany you tonight, okay?" ”

Xiao Lingshuang didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and the whole person was already leaning on his arms.

Xiao Linghu was overjoyed, he made this request to his fiancΓ©e more than once, but Xiao Lingshuang refused for various reasons. He was afraid that Xiao Lingshuang would regret it, so he picked her up and rushed into Xiao Lingshuang's boudoir......

Early the next morning, when she saw Yi Wei and Xiao Linghu walking out of Xiao Lingsu and Xiao Lingshuang's room respectively, Yan Meifeng, who was like a thin heart, understood something, she didn't blame the two people, but just told them to be careful not to let the two sisters' bellies grow bigger, which was actually acquiescing to their indulgence.
