Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve is unusually lively, there are a few guests at home, it is Uncle Zhang from the same village, he is honest, honest and responsible, is a duty pig farmer, his wife died of illness, now he is the only one left in the family, every year at this time he has to come to the house to sit for a while, when he comes, he will bring two pounds of pork, eat a meal at home and drink a little wine and then leave.

Uncle Zhang came again today, he just came in and gave the pork in his hand to his mother, and took out two bottles of liquor from his pocket, and said to his mother: "Two catties of pork, it's the same as before!" ”

Then he went into the house and gave the liquor to his father, and when his father saw it, he quickly put it on the bedside table so that his mother would not see it.

As soon as this Uncle Zhang came, he teased his father's alcohol addiction, and he was not allowed to drink a drink this year, he waited for this day Brother Zhang to come, and he usually drank alcohol secretly, but today, he can drink it in a big gulp, not to mention how happy he is in his heart.

Uncle Zhang sat at home for a while, and after eating, he began to chatter again, Lin Muchen didn't know how long Uncle Zhang stayed here before leaving, he only knew that when his nap was over, Uncle Zhang was gone. His body was covered with a thick quilt, but he was still sitting and did not lie down.

Uncle Zhang: "Look at this little baby in your family, you can't hold on anymore when you look at this, let him go to sleep, it's hard to keep this year?" Father and Uncle Zhang looked at Lin Muchen, who was sleepy, and smirked vigorously.

Dad Lin: "Don't say it, this baby in my family is like this every year, I was stunned to say that I wanted to keep the New Year, but when I woke up, most of the night had passed." ”

Uncle Zhang: "Haha, children, that's it, the more he wants to do it, the more he can't do it, and when he comes to the next year, he still thinks about last year, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, it's never too much!" ”

Dad Lin: "Hey, my baby is not like this, he is a very responsible baby, my baby studied the textbooks of primary school for six years a year and then went to junior high school in the county, you know this, right?" ”

The mother, who was working as a female worker on the side, stared at Uncle Zhang with her eyes shining at this time.

Uncle Zhang: "I know, I know, the whole village knows that your baby is the baby bump in our village." ”

Lin Dad: "Ai, this is a bit too much, I just think that my baby must be a master who does what he says, although he is not punctual every time he keeps the New Year, but he also does not take off his clothes to sleep, every time he wakes up, it is just in time for the first hour of the new year, in this group of little babies, my baby is also okay, usually I don't praise him much........."

Uncle Zhang: "Yes, I also think this baby is very good, now the living conditions are better, whose baby is willing to suffer?" It's all pampered, to be honest, if I have a baby, I must be pampered too, how can I be like you, treat your baby like this, I heard that you want to let him be admitted to high school? ”

Dad Lin: "I'm also doing this for his good." If you want him to get ahead, to be looked down upon by others one day, and to let him take care of himself in the future, I am a rough person. There's no big culture, and I've eaten a lot of losses in society, and I don't want this baby to suffer this crime anymore! ”

Uncle Zhang: "Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, which parent in the world doesn't want their children to get ahead and fly on the branches?" ”

Mother listened to them, and she did not stop her own work, and she did not squeak, but sat there and listened to them. In the past ten years, it has been like this, as long as Uncle Zhang comes on this day, the mother only cooks the food by herself, and the rest of the things are all the two of them chatting about the house, and the mother has not intervened.

Dad Lin: "Yes, pity the hearts of parents all over the world." ”

Uncle Zhang: "But it's not good for you to be too strict with the child like this, it's not good to say it, the one in the west of our village, the child has learned badly, and I still think that you don't treat the baby like this, he has grown so big, he is a year older, and he has his own ideas." ”

Dad Lin: "Brother Zhang, my wife also told me about this, and I also know that he can't come in a hurry about this, I just want to add some pressure to the baby, and I want him to be more relaxed in the future, I will pay attention to it, rest assured, I won't let your eldest nephew become like that." ”

After saying this, the two chattered something else.

The wine on the table went down quickly, probably because the volatile nature of the wine was fast, and it looked like the two of them hadn't drunk much yet, and it was almost gone.

Dad Lin: "Come, Brother Zhang, I toast you with a cup, I wish you a long and healthy life and a prosperous business." ”

Brother Zhang hurriedly picked up the wine glass.

"Come on, let's meet one."

…………

The two of them talked, and the two bottles of liquor went down, and the two of them drank the red face and red ears, and the house was full of wine, but fortunately these two people didn't smoke, if they smoked, the house would not know what it smelled like.

At this time, it was not too early, seeing that the pendulum on the wall had already walked a long circle, Uncle Zhang dragged his body and muttered that he wanted to go back.

Uncle Zhang: "You see it's not too early at this time, I should go back, I've been here for a long time this time, I'm sorry." ”

Dad Lin: "Ai, what are you talking about, you came to my house as a guest, it was to give me face, you just came to see me, you have not been back and forth for twenty years, but also seventeen or eighteen years, it is my honor to come to my house as a guest, don't say such a thing in the future." ”

The two of them drank about the same, and Uncle Zhang was a little violent when he got up, and he sat down again as soon as he stood up.

When my mother saw this, she immediately went over to support her, and my father slowly got up and walked slowly towards Uncle Zhang.

Dad Lin: "Look, we're both almost drunk, or you can sleep here, and go home or go back, this is also a place ......to live." ”

Uncle Zhang: "Ai, no, we can't break the rules, we have to go back, no matter what happens today, we can't break the rules, I'd better go back!" ”

The custom in the village at that time was that you couldn't stay at someone else's house during the Chinese New Year, and they were the host and you were the guest, so you should go back or have to go back.

Mother hugged Uncle Zhang without squeaking. Uncle Zhang walked to the door with a cat, and his mother happened to support him.

Mother Lin: "Don't forget it, you can stay at my house, that house, we have already cleaned and made the bed, why don't I send you over to rest for a while?" ”

Uncle Zhang: "No, how can it always be like this, I remember that there was a time like this, this time it will definitely not work, I can go back, it's okay, I drink very well, it's just a little dizzy, you hurry back to see your old forest, his alcohol is ............ poor." ”

As he spoke, Uncle Zhang had already walked outside the gate. kept pushing his mother and told him to hurry back.

Mother Lin: "Then, I'll go back, be careful yourself." ”

Uncle Zhang: "Don't worry, I'm such a big person!" ”

When Lin Muchen woke up, the pendulum clock had already passed half a circle, and the rooster who got up early to go to work was already ready to crow.

Lin Muchen shook his little head and stretched.

Maybe Lin Muchen's movement was a little big, and his mother woke up.

Mother Lin: "You little baby, didn't you say that you want to keep the New Year?" Why did you sleep more dead than your father, you see that this age has been guarded by you. Mother deliberately reprimanded Lin Muchen.

Lin Muchen: "What's the matter, I just took a nap and just woke up." ”

Mother Lin: "Every year says that you want to keep the New Year, you are a baby, and you are destined to miss the New Year." Hurry up and go to sleep, sleep a little longer, and then you have to go to the elders of the family to pay New Year's greetings. ”

Lin Muchen: "Oh, I don't sleep, I wake up, I'll go wash and wash, and I'll go to pay New Year's greetings later." ”

Lin Muchen's plan to keep the year was still shattered, and he finally passed his fifteen-year-old after all.

Lin Muchen cleaned up and sat by the stove.

After stopping for a while, I heard the rooster outside the house start to crow, and the sky outside the house gradually brightened. At this time, the outside began to be lively again, strings of relatives, New Year's greetings, in short, people came and went, and a little snow that had just fallen in the middle of the night was also stepped on.

Lin Muchen stayed for a while, and as soon as he came back to his senses, his mother had already gotten up.

Mother Lin: "Baby, go and wake up your father, he is drunk every year, and he has to go to the New Year, he is a good person, he doesn't care about anything when he is drunk." ”

Lin Muchen had no choice but to wake up his drunken father. As soon as I walked to the bedside, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Lin Muchen patted his father, and when he saw that it didn't work, he patted his face again, but it didn't work, and then he took a wet towel soaked in cold water and applied it to his father's face, this is what he has to do every year, if his father doesn't wake up, then dip it in some cold water and apply it again, anyway, just wake it up and it's over, and now this action is the same as usual, so that now he is already so proficient.

Just put it on his father's face, and his father woke up, his father's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Lin Muchen like this, as if he was going to eat Lin Muchen.

Lin Muchen has long been accustomed to it, no matter how scared he is of that look, he is not afraid, anyway, he will say, this is what my mother asked me to do, I just woke you up, it's none of my business.

After waking up my father, it was a lot of mother's nagging, and when my mother finished nagging, my father got up and cleaned up.

Mother took advantage of the nagging time to make some breakfast hastily, and cooked some dumplings that had not been put into the pot yesterday.

After the family of three finished eating, they began the day's activities, going door-to-door, visiting relatives, paying New Year's greetings, and finally going to the ancestral tomb again, giving the deceased ancestors and ancestors a heads, asking them to bless the coming year to be smooth............

After doing all this that needed to be done, the father dragged his heavy body and fell on the bed, not moving, and the mother started the work she should clean up for the day, and Lin Muchen seemed to be sleepy and not sleepy to help her mother take care of her yard.

This year is over.........
