The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was destined to break up unhappily from the beginning, although it would not make a big move, but it was inevitable to be angry, in Lu Yu's opinion, such a Chinese New Year's Eve meal would not be eaten.

Anyway, Lu Yu doesn't understand why his father has to get together every Chinese New Year's Eve, if the relationship is really good, it is normal to come and go often, but Lu Yu has been able to see his second uncle every year that is, the New Year, and the second uncle seems to be not on the planet at other times.

In fact, every time there is something in the second uncle's house, Lu's father will go, and the second uncle's house will have a broken light and he will change the faucet, so he will call Lu's father to repair it.

But Lu Yu never saw the second uncle take the initiative to come to his house once, even if Lu Yu held a college entrance banquet in the year after the college entrance examination, the second uncle never appeared, which left a deep shadow in Lu Yu's heart.

Sure enough, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

The second uncle was a little embarrassed by his poor family, but the sister-in-law never disliked the Lu Yu family, but she couldn't take care of the Lu Yu family after doing business outside for a long time.

Of course, Lu's father didn't think about letting his younger brother and sister take care of this family, as the eldest in the family, Lu's father never suffered a lot, for his younger brother and sister, he came out to work very early to earn money to subsidize the family, so that his younger brother and sister could finish high school, and high school at that time was much more valuable than Lu Yu's university.

Dad Lu never mentioned these things in front of Lu Yu, but it was his sister-in-law who told Lu Yu.

Lu Yu didn't mean to complain about the second uncle and sister-in-law, because the living conditions at that time were like this, there were three children in the family, and it was not easy to support them, and it was impossible to afford to go to school if they wanted to, so it was natural to make sacrifices as the eldest in the family.

But this is not the reason why the second uncle despises and despises Lu's father, and Lu's father has not asked for anything in return for this, but gathers them together every year and endures their white eyes and arrogance.

As a result, Lu Yu, the eldest brother, has no status in front of his cousin and cousin, and he feels that it is a shame to associate with Lu Yu.

"Dad, the second uncle brought the garbage at home again!"

After the second uncle and sister-in-law left, Lu Yu looked at the gifts brought by the second uncle, which were about to expire, and sneered in his heart.

"Isn't it still edible? Say anything cool and go back to your house. Lu's father was displeased, and the ministry was willing to listen to Lu Yu's talk about his younger brother.

Lu's mother was already surprised, and said to Lu's father: "Don't go to bed early, why don't you get up early tomorrow?" ”

Dad Lu shrunk his neck, his majesty was lost, and he hurriedly said, "Don't you still want to watch the Spring Festival Gala?" You're tired of the day, go to bed early! ”

Lu Yu smiled on the side, seeing that the family was happy and happy, this is the feeling of real home.

Early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year the next day, Lu Yu heard his mother's shouting outside the house, "Tell you not to watch so late, you just don't listen, you can't get up now!" ”

Then Lu's father's lazy voice came, "It's not almost the same as a little earlier and a little later, and it's not like you going to the supermarket to grab eggs, what's the hurry!" ”

Lu Yu looked at the time on his phone, it was only half past seven in the morning, he yawned, lifted the quilt and got dressed and got up.

Lu Yu also went to bed late last night, sent a lot of congratulatory messages, received a lot of New Year's messages, and received an invitation to a high school reunion, but the time was a little wrong, and he couldn't go if he wanted to, so he refused, and was scolded by his classmates, feeling like he had done something wrong.

"Get up!"

When Lu's mother saw Lu Yu open the door, her tone became much softer, and Lu's father also took the opportunity to escape.

After breakfast, the family went out with large bags and small bags, came to the bus station, and got on the bus to Shijiu Lake.

Every year, as long as there is no major event at home, my mother has to go back to her hometown on the first day of junior high school, and she stays in her hometown for two or three days before coming back, and this year is no exception.

Although my mother's hometown is not very far from Wucheng, there is no direct shuttle bus, and you need to transfer to a car, and then walk for more than ten minutes to arrive, but every year my mother still insists on going home a few times, and she used to take Lu Yu with her, but after Lu Yu worked in Jinling, she came once a year.

Walking on the way to Weijia Village, Lu Yu saw a few newly built small second floors on the side of the road, which looked out of place with most of the dilapidated houses around, the economic conditions here are not good, but people always like their own face, as long as they have a little money, they will renovate their own houses, so that a new daughter-in-law can enter the door, otherwise they can only be single.

However, in recent years, some nimble villagers began to use the resources of Shijiu Lake to breed aquatic products, it is said that the benefits are not bad, but after these people get rich, they immediately go to the city to buy real estate, although the hukou is still in the village, but the children have gone to school in the city, which also leads to fewer and fewer people in the village, more and more deserted, and only during the Chinese New Year, people who go out to work will return to their hometowns, so that the deserted village has a little popularity.

Along the way, Lu Yu felt the atmosphere of the New Year, and now many cities are prohibiting fireworks, which is called polluting the air and easy to cause fires, which also leads to the New Year's flavor becoming weaker and weaker, and only in the countryside can you still hear the sound of firecrackers and feel the joy of the New Year.

Lu Yu's family quickly walked to the door of a three-story small building on the side of the road, and when the people in the yard who were killing chickens and washing vegetables saw Lu Yu's family, a smile bloomed on their wrinkled faces, "Eldest sister, brother-in-law, Xiao Yu is here!" ”

"Uncle, aunt, Happy New Year!"

This is the home of my mother's youngest brother, because it is the closest to the entrance of the village, so every time I come back, I am the first to visit my brother-in-law's house, and stay at my brother-in-law's house, and then go to other relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings.

My uncle's family built a three-story building last year, with four bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, and usually only my uncle and my aunt are in the house, and the two sons are working in other places and only come back for the Chinese New Year.

"Xiao Yu, you're here!"

"It's not big or small, it's called brother", Lu Yu saw Wei Juncai on the second floor and stretched out his head and said, "What about your eldest brother?" Why didn't you see a figure? ”

"Him! I went to the woman for the New Year this year, but I haven't come back yet? Come up! Wei Juncai beckoned to Lu Yu.

It is said that people gather by like, and things are grouped, this sentence is not wrong at all, it is precisely because the family background of both parties is not so good, Lu Yu is closer to his mother's family.

Lu Yu walked up to the second floor and saw Wei Juncai reading, and said with some curiosity: "I'm still studying during the Chinese New Year, didn't you find a job in Fuzhou?" ”

Wei Juncai smiled a little shyly and said: "I hate less when I use books, I didn't understand what this sentence meant before, but after I went to work, I really understood what it meant, and now I regret not going to graduate school." ”

"And that's a good idea! It just so happens that you have just graduated, and now it's too late to take the graduate school exam! Lu Yu teased.

"It's late!"

Wei Juncai obviously didn't mean to go to graduate school: "Now the competition for the graduate school entrance examination is equally fierce, if there is still hope two years in advance, now a lot of things have been lost, and it is not easy to get it back." By the way, are you still working part-time? ”
