In the twenty-ninth year, Xu Jin got up early in the morning to prepare to paste couplets and hang lanterns.

The couplet was bought in advance, and the couplet: welcome the joy and welcome the spring and welcome the wealth; Downlink: Receiving wealth, receiving blessings, and connecting peace; Horizontal batch: auspicious!

After pasting the couplet, breakfast was also done at this time, Xu Jin returned to the simple days, without the hustle and bustle of the big city, seeing that his relatives were around, his heart was peaceful.

He likes this kind of day very much, it is lively, everyone is harmonious, smiling, and happy to celebrate the New Year.

I also hope that in the future, my parents will always be happy and youthful, although I know that this wish is unrealistic, but Xu Jin is so sincere hopeful.

Today, the house started to be cleaned, in fact, there is nothing to clean, most of them are tidying up.

Usually, only their parents live in the house, and their range of activities is only a few places, and they don't move around anywhere else, resulting in a lot of dust accumulating in many corners.

Xu Jin and Xu Panhua swept the floor one on the ground, and the other stepped on a stool and took a high broom to sweep the roof, sweeping away the cobwebs on the corners, removing the old and welcoming the new!

"Brother, the books you read in junior high school are still there!" Xu Panhua saw the pile of books in the corner and said in surprise.

Xu Jin also walked over to look at it, and found that not only the books he had learned in junior high school, but also the homework books, and the covers were yellowed and smelled of mold.

Looking at the immature characters that were drawn one by one, Xu Jin didn't expect that he would write like this when he was a child!

When I was a child, those naughty, hazy and hazy fragments of innocence faintly appeared in my mind, some things were remembered very deeply, and some things were like an ink painting, the more I went to the border, the more hidden it became.

It is not very clear, leaving only a vague beauty.

Although he doesn't remember it clearly, Xu Jin knows that those must be happy years.

The troubles of childhood, when you grow up, are really not worth mentioning.

Xu Panhua covered his nose and mouth, "Ahem!" That's a lot of dust! Do you want to sell these, or do you want to sell them? ”

Xu Jin smiled: "Don't sell it!" Why sell? Put it away, and when I'm old in the future, I'll open it up and look at it, and reminisce about my youth! ”

Xu Panhua complained: "You are not young now? ”

Xu Jin sighed solemnly: "I'm old! ”

Xu Panhua: ......

Gotcha, you blow, you keep blowing!

After the cleaning, Xu's father and mother also made lunch, and the meal was particularly hearty, which was the best meal of the year.

In the past, when there was a famine, the Chinese New Year was particularly important, and what could not be eaten in normal times could be eaten a little during the New Year, so that the children could be stained with oil.

Now everyone's life is getting better and better, in the past, only the things that could be eaten during the New Year can be eaten at ordinary times, and there is no need to eat them during the New Year's holidays.

It's just that my parents are thrifty, and they are only two people, and they don't usually have much fish and meat.

"Come, Ah Jin, this chicken leg is for you."

Xu Jin took the initiative to lift the bowl and asked his mother to put the chicken thighs into the bowl, "Okay! ”

"Come, Ah Jin, this braised pork is delicious, try a piece!"

"Okay!"

"Come on, come on, eat more meat, and watch you make you hungry and thin...... I can feel the bones by touching my hands, but what if I am malnourished? ”

"Okay!"

"And this, it's also delicious, eat more!"

"Don't just eat, go eat more meat!"

……

Xu Panhua watched the meat in Xu Jin's bowl pile higher and higher, couldn't help swallowing his throat, and said, "Dad, Mom!" I also like meat, so you can give it to me! ”

Mom and Dad said in unison: "Girls eat so much, they will gain weight!" ”

Xu Panhua: ......

Xu Jin sneered, took the initiative to sandwich a piece of meat for her, and said soothingly: "Eat, eat more, these days are the New Year, you can eat with your stomach open."

Isn't it just a matter of a few taels of meat, what is this, there are only a few days in a year where you can eat meat to your heart's content, eat enough for a year, and spend another year to lose weight, just right! ”

Xu Panhua was originally very happy to see the meat in his bowl, but the more he listened to Xu Jin's words, the more he felt that something was wrong, and raised his head and glared at him.

Don't mention the good words, but mention such a painful reality, she doesn't want to eat what she says.

Mood grief......

Xu Jin snorted and ate, pretending not to see Xu Panhua's resentful little eyes.

After lunch, the cleaning continued.

Not only Xu Jin's two siblings are doing things, but Xu's father and mother also joined in the cleaning, and the family worked together to improve efficiency.

Soon, the house was swept inside and out, bright and clean!

On the twenty-ninth day of the year, nothing happened, which made Xu Panhua's originally vigilant heart relax, thinking that her brother also had times when he couldn't speak accurately.

Yesterday, I heard him seem to have something in his words, and I thought something big would happen today!

.

Just, right......

People really can't be overjoyed in advance, because they never know what disaster will happen in the next second.

In the twenty-ninth year, everyone had a warm and ordinary day, but on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, some people came over to refresh their sense of existence.

Xu Panhua came out of the room, heard someone talking in the hall below, leaned his head over to take a look, his brows immediately furrowed, and his expression was disgusted.

It's their best relatives who are here!

The reason why my brother couldn't study the third year of high school was because of those people!

There was a famine back then, and every family was poor to death, and everyone was starving because their family didn't store good food, but no matter how hungry they were, they still had to read books!

It's a pity that the family had no money at that time, and my brother had to pay a large amount of exam fees in addition to tuition fees in the third year of high school, which was more expensive than tuition and miscellaneous fees.

Parents couldn't come up with money, so they could only beg those relatives, and the relatives also cried to them that they were poor, saying that they had no money and could only provide for their babies to study.

At that time, Xu Panhua didn't hate the group of people in the eldest uncle and the second uncle, everyone had no money, it was not easy, it would be good to take care of himself.

But when she saw the eldest uncle and the second uncle say those words, the cousins and cousins ran out from another place, their mouths were still stained with oil, and there was still meat foam on the surface of their teeth that had not been licked clean!

At that time, there was a famine in the village, not to mention eating meat, so I almost peeled off the bark of the tree pole and ate it!

Meat is more expensive than gold!

They can even afford to eat meat, how can they not borrow a few yuan of exam fees?

It's clear that I don't want to borrow!

Xu Panhua was young and ignorant at that time, so he asked on the spot, which embarrassed the elders, and his parents were going to leave, but after hearing it, they continued to stay and wanted them to help.

In the end, it was my brother who took the initiative to stand up and say that he didn't study, and he was going out to work, so he didn't let his parents fall out with the eldest uncle and second uncle on the spot.

But since then, their family has not had such a deep connection with the eldest and second uncles, and they basically don't move around.

Xu Panhua paused for a moment, and decided that he couldn't go on, so he stood in the corner and listened secretly.
