120 Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new
On the day of resignation, all the New Year's goods were done, and twenty-seven couplets were pasted. Thousands of households only exchange the new peach for the old one.
The 28th National Congress is cleaned up, and in three days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve.
Not long after the house was newly built, there were usually people to clean it, naturally there was no dust, and the cobwebs could not be found, so it was symbolically sprinkled and cleaned.
But Luo Niuniu and a few children went to the stable, but they pinched out a lot of big black spiders, and they didn't eat the chickens and ducks.
Naturally, dumplings will be made during the New Year, which will also have a name called "Jiao'er".
Luo Xiaoqiao thought that the copper coin was too dirty and a little big, so he breaded red dates and peanuts in the dumplings to please a good omen.
The dumplings are white and fat, stained with their own condiments, not to mention enjoyable to eat.
"Second sister, I have eaten jujubes", Luo Niuniu spit out a jujube core and said.
"Ah, then you may have good luck this year", Grandma Luo smiled and bit a peanut.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, about the fifth watch, that is, at the end of the day, people with conditions began to crackle and set off firecrackers, and the air was filled with a unique smell of gunsmoke.
As firecracker debris landed, families opened their doors.
Although there is no genealogy in Luojia Village, there are families and generations, and those without generations are divided by age.
Naturally, there is no female baby in the New Year's greetings, and in this regard, Luo Xiaoqiao can only pout his lips to express his disdain.
The custom here is that men take boys and go from house to house according to their seniority.
Whoever opens the door after setting off firecrackers means that their family is ready to entertain guests.
The village is lit up with oil lamps and torches, bringing a touch of warmth in the dark night.
"Happy New Year~", "Shangkang~", "Ha Dianshui~", "Eat a piece of candy~", these words are the words that appear most frequently today.
Grandpa Luo naturally wanted to go to Luo Xinkang's house to have a look.
The old lady leaned on the edge of the kang, her eyes were cloudy, but her clothes were still neat, and the old lady obviously didn't do anything to make people grab the handle.
The girl is said to not come out to meet guests, but Luo Xiaoqiao is different, she is still the village head.
Many people who came to their house not only called Grandpa Luo "uncle", but also called "village chief".
Since the beginning of this day, Luo Xiaoqiao's house began to have people in and out.
Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo greeted the send-off with smiles on their faces, and talked and laughed in the yard.
"Dashan, sit down for a while and have a sip of tea", Grandpa Luo greeted.
"No, no, I still have to go to my eldest brother's for a walk, there are still a few that haven't been there, and they'll be all gone", the honest man stood up.
The room was hot, peanut shells and nut shells all over the place, and a small amount of candy wrapper. Stepping on it rattled loudly.
The Luo family loves to be clean, but they don't care about the ground at the moment.
If you don't sweep the floor before the third year of junior high school, you may have money.
This is the humble wish and beautiful hope of the common people.
It wasn't until the morning sun pierced the darkness that the families walked through the homes of the elders who should be walking around to pay New Year's greetings.
"Second grandfather, happy New Year."
In view of the fact that they are relatives, juniors such as Luo Maofu and Luo Jinhua also came to Luo Xiaoqiao's house while the Chinese New Year.
On a good day, the door is naturally open, and it is not good to drive them out.
As soon as Luo Maofu saw the candy and snacks on the table, he directly put them in his pocket and opened them to eat.
The three Luo Youjin brothers also came.
Luo Youxi was a little apprehensive when she looked at Luo Xiaoqiao, I don't know how much she saw that day, if she let the family know, with Liu's character, she would have to make a fuss.
Many good friends in the village sat around the living room, chatting about the big and small things of the year.
Luo Youjin deserves to be a big shopkeeper, and he doesn't care what others look at him.
Wandering among the guests, adding some tea and candy, just like a host. Those who don't know may think that he is the owner of this house.
Luo Youyin usually can't come to the Luo family's compound, and he feels very excited at this time.
He had long forgotten the grievances between the two families, and he had forgotten what had forced the Luo family to death a few months ago. His mother said that she should have a good relationship with the second uncle's family, and only then can she get married after the year, so that she can get a big red envelope.
In contrast, Luo Youxi seemed much quieter, smiling and sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting all the time, and did not talk much.
He is a showman, and it is said that he is willing to sit together, and the people should be very nervous and trembling.
But since the villagers followed Luo Xiaoqiao to defeat the Tartars, especially after witnessing the behavior of the Luo family's big house, they have obviously become more confident.
Are you amazing? Great, you're still hiding in the city? They chopped off the heads of their enemies with their own hands!
Therefore, no one put the score, or no one put the score, and the table looks quite harmonious.
There were many close juniors, and Grandpa Luo took out a lot of red envelopes, one for each child. There are those who are shy, and those who have strict family education, they don't dare to ask for it, they wave their hands vigorously and hide behind the adults.
"Uncle, what are you doing here? What for children? Are you still letting us talk properly? Huang Lianqing hurriedly stood up and humbly gave in, and Huang Daji next to him dodged vigorously.
"Take it all, it's not much. In the past, we couldn't afford it, but this year, life is better, so we take it. Grandpa Luo said with a smile.
Luo Maofu and Luo Jinhua's hands and feet were very fast, and before Grandpa Luo could hand them over, he reached out and dragged them.
After taking the red envelope, it was immediately opened, and ten copper plates were placed inside.
Grandma Luo's expression is not very good-looking, after all, opening the red seal in front of people is not a well-educated move. These children of the old family are really raised, and they don't know the world.
Luo Maofu saw that there were only ten copper plates inside, and the joy on his face disappeared immediately.
When he came, Niu told him that the second grandfather's family earned so much money, and he must give a big red envelope.
His father Luo Youjin is a shopkeeper, and he can actually make money, but he is reluctant to spend anything, so he has to please the old woman with all his pocket money.
But even so, in his eyes, these ten copper plates are too few, which fools the child, not enough for him to buy some candy.
But when the other villagers saw it, they felt that Grandpa Luo was too expensive, how could such a young child give ten copper plates, which was enough to buy a few catties of soybeans.
Grandpa Luo was thinking that the family had made money, and he would give the red seal for a festive occasion, and the child would ask for good luck, ten copper plates, no more, no less, just right.
Luo Maofu and Luo Jinhua lowered their faces, and naturally fell into the eyes of Luo Dashan and other neighbors, and they suddenly looked down on this family even more.
However, Luo Youjin looked at this scene and flashed a trace of calculation, the second uncle's family really made a lot of money, and they couldn't eat in the past, but now they send the copper plate out casually, you know, there are more than a dozen children here.
If there is joy and power in the future, or if they think of other ways, then these industries ......
"Don't hurry up yet, thank you second grandfather." Luo Youjin glared at the two children and asked them to express their gratitude.
This made Grandpa Luo's face slightly pale.
