Chapter 165: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the teens, they all visit relatives and friends, or return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors. The Song family is Song Jiu, and Wange has long had nothing to do with the Jiang family, so they don't need to worship their ancestors, so they can only visit relatives and friends.
On the first day, many people have to go to worship their ancestors, and only after the end will they leave their relatives. Even Du Chun and the others didn't open the door today, so they got up early in the morning and packed up their things and went back to their hometowns with firecrackers, money, and paper.
After thinking about it, they decided to go back to the old house in the village to have a look, and by the way, they also visited Chen Kui's house.
Last time, Liu Fang gave birth to a daughter, and Chen Kui and his old lady were stirring up trouble there. was so angry that Liu Fang took the child back to her parents' house, and the small family almost broke up his wife.
And the old lady in the back was restless, Chen Kui hadn't coaxed anyone back yet, so she couldn't wait for someone to introduce her. After hearing that Liu Fang knew, he was already a little soft-hearted, and he suddenly hardened his heart, and when Chen Kui was about to bring people back, the people of the Liu family drove him out directly.
At that time, it was quite a big deal, at least the people in the two villages knew about it. After that, it was not very clear, and she didn't inquire about it.
In my heart, I don't want to go to the evening song. She quarreled with Chen Kui and their old lady, and she helped Liu Fang to scold Chen Kui later, and she always felt as if her face was a little torn, and it was not so good to visit again.
told Song Jiu about these things, Song Jiu thought about it and asked her to rest at home when the time came, or go to Du Chun and them. The Chen family just went to him, so she didn't have to go.
"Okay, I'll go to the village and hang out when the time comes." In the past, there were still a few neighboring households, which were considered to be okay, but relatively speaking, they may not have a good relationship with Du Chun's family.
After cleaning up in two breaths, I ate a bowl of wontons at the door, filled my stomach, picked up my things, locked the door and left.
Business was good during the New Year, and Uncle Ma didn't rest. Originally, they were all going to walk back to the village, so they should take a walk, but they didn't expect to see him wrapped in thick clothes and holding a teacup at the entrance of the town, chatting with a few old men there, and he seemed to be chatting energetically.
When he saw Song Jiu, his eyes widened in surprise, and his eyeballs were about to fall out.
Song Jiu was taken away, and he became famous in the village. I thought that people would not be able to come back, at least in recent years, it is impossible, you want to go to the village to serve in the conscription, who has come back. Therefore, this year's Spring Festival feels a little lonely. However, today I was surprised to see Song Ji come back, and I was not surprised by anyone.
"Uncle Ma." Song Jiu greeted people.
Uncle Ma came back to his senses: "Hey, isn't this Song Jiu, I've been back for a long time." ”
"Just." Song Jiu said.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Uncle Ma patted him on the shoulder, felt the strong muscles and teased: "Good guy, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're strong again!" ”
Song Yu smiled and responded and said No, you can take it in Kunshan for two or three months, and you will lose weight no matter how fat you are.
"It's been bitter, but it's good to be back."
"Indeed." Song Jiu replied.
Uncle Ma asked him if he wanted to take the carriage, and he should go back after counting the time. I went back to eat, and in the afternoon, I was going to accompany my wife and grandchildren to visit the New Year.
"Forget it, it's rare to go back, it's not far away, and the weather is good today, so it's good to take a walk."
What's more, the current evening song is not very suitable for riding an ox cart, the road is too bumpy, and it is uncomfortable to sit, so let's walk slowly!
Seeing this, Uncle Ma didn't say anything, and after saying a word on the road, he turned over on the ox, waved his hand at them, and drove the ox cart staggering first.
"Let's go, too!"
"Okay."
In winter, there is actually no scenery, except for a few trees that are evergreen all year round, the leaves on the trees are almost all gone, and they look bare. And the flowers and plants, not to mention, withered, yellow, yellow, there is no scenery to see. They are not like those northlands, where the snow has begun to fall since the end of October, and in the depths of winter, the snow is so thick that it can reach people's thighs in the deepest places.
Speaking of which, Wan Ge has never seen the snow fluttering, and the only snow she has ever seen has only melted when it falls, let alone piling up snow, it is amazing that it can be covered with a layer.
But despite this, as long as Song Jiu is on the side, no matter where he goes, it is a good scenery. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, what's the point of missing someone to accompany you.
The two chatted and walked slowly, with smiles on their faces along the way.
The village is also very lively today, and every household has bought red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, and blessing characters. The children are holding cannons to point here and there, and the sound of crackling and exploding echoes in the village with the cheers of the children, which is indeed very New Year's flavor.
Song Jiu's return can be said to be that everyone who met him was not surprised, especially those who saw the excitement and slapped behind their backs. Seeing him is like seeing a ghost. In addition, there was a group of people who were also very excited, and that was the family members of those who went to serve as conscripts with the village.
The first reaction when I saw Song Jiu was surprise, there was no doubt about it. The second reaction is that the people who went there have come back, so are their own people coming back?
At this time, it doesn't matter if he gets close to people on weekdays or not, everyone finds the Song family and surrounds Song Jiu to ask him when he came back, why didn't those people from his own family come back, what's going on?
In this regard, Song Jiu's answer was that he was framed and wronged at the beginning, and now that the grievances have been washed and rehabilitated, he will naturally be released back. As for others don't know, don't know, don't understand.
When those people heard this, they immediately rejoiced and lost their hearts. Seeing that Song Jiu came back, I thought that other people could also come back, but I didn't expect that Song Jiu was the only one who came back, and it was unknown when the others would come back.
Also, the Song family is now a small family, and there is no reason why they can't afford to give twelve taels of silver. Where like theirs.
Those who understand sighed and left, and those who don't understand are just where they clicked, and asked dissatisfiedly, and said why did Song Jiu come back, and they should come back together if they were all in service.
In fact, these people clearly know what is going on in their hearts, and they have to be entangled there all the time. For this kind of person, Song Jiu's attitude is to ask you to go out, don't stand in his yard for the New Year, for fear that you will be unlucky all year round.
The mother-in-law with broken mouths was so fierce by Song Yu that they were so frightened that they hurriedly left.
That is, they haven't lived in the village for half a year, and these people have forgotten that some people are low-key on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that they have a good temper, especially Song Jiu, he just doesn't bother to take care of you. If you really want to take care of you, Yang Qian will be the end.
After blasting those annoying people away, Song Jiu burned a brazier, wiped a rattan chair and came out to let Wange lie on it and rest on the fire for a while, he went to Chen's house first to have a look and came back soon. When the time comes, we will go to Du Chun's house together.
It's still so far from the town to the village, and Wange has a big belly, even if she walks and rests halfway, it's still a little tiring to take a break. It's the kind of belly that is tired, and you have to lie down or half-lie down to rest. It's not okay to sit, I'm still very tired.
"Go ahead, I'll take a break." Wange was lying on the recliner, surrounded by a brazier that constantly emitted warmth, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Now it's you who ask her to move, and she doesn't want to move it.
Seeing this, Song Ji smiled dumbly, said a word, and soon came back and went out with the things he had prepared.
Some people are happy and some are sad about this year's New Year, the evening song is happy, and Chen Kui is sad.
It's also funny to hear, other people's families are all members of the group during the New Year. It's good to come to him and celebrate the New Year alone. He is not like those children who have not started a family, they have wives and daughters, and he even lives alone. Without Liu Fang here, his mother was driven away by him again, and now she can't even get a decent New Year's dinner.
Therefore, Chen Kui also made a fire and smashed all the pots and pans.
It's no wonder that it's so far, I can't complain about others, it can be said that Chen Kui is to blame. If he had given Liu Fang a little more care, or cared more about his daughter, or if Wang Yufang had asked someone to introduce him later, he might not have come to this point.
Who is to blame, not yourself.
When Song Jiu came, Chen Kui was roasting the fire in the house. There were still dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the weather was cold, and the oil soup on the top had solidified, not to mention how sloppy it looked.
It is said that the first day of the new year must be good, otherwise the year will not be smooth.
Chen Kuizheng was so annoyed that he suddenly heard someone calling him outside, he responded a little impatiently, and he was about to scold people, but suddenly found that it was Song Jiu who called people.
"You, when did you come back?" Chen Kui stared at Song Jiu standing outside the courtyard in disbelief, wondering if he hadn't woken up, or had drunk too much, or what was going on. How could I see Song Jiu coming back.
"I just came back. I will come to see you as soon as I come back and give you New Year's greetings. Saying that, Song Yu raised the things he was holding in his hand and asked him to open the door.
Chen Kui hesitated for a moment and opened the courtyard door, jokingly saying that the house was a little messy, and he didn't have time to clean it up, so he saw that there was no joke.
"What's the matter, haven't you coaxed people back yet?"
Chen Kui was a little embarrassed to be asked: "Have you heard of everything?"
"Well, a little bit isn't much." Song Jiu carried things in, and in the face of the dirty and messy scene, as if he hadn't seen it, he picked a clean place to put things down without blinking his eyes: "What's the situation with you?" Not all husband and wife have an overnight feud. ”
"Nowhere is it, she has been remembering it for more than two months, no matter how she says it, it is not right, it is very annoying." Chen Kui's complaint that he didn't fund, it felt as if everything Liu Fang did was unreasonable and had nothing to do.
