The consequence of playing poker all night last night was that today's New Year's breakfast was almost eaten with our eyes closed, and the four of us had dark circles as swollen as eggs. Even if it's my aunt's cooking, it tastes like chewing wax.

My uncle teased my cousin and said, "Did you go to be a thief last night?"

The cousin smiled and said, "I stayed up late playing poker with my younger brothers and sisters, aren't you adults the same, playing mahjong all night?"

The uncle gave him a piece of fish and said, "Don't worry about the affairs of adults, you children, I don't want to scold you for the New Year, eat and eat."

The crowd laughed.

This kind of thing as the New Year is probably doomed to lack of sleep.

After breakfast, after the four of them returned to the room, no one mentioned the big names anymore, and they all stayed in bed all morning to make up for sleep, and my cousin slept next to me.

After lunch, my aunt packed a big bag of delicious food for me and Ling Ming, and sent us to the car, the fare was given by my aunt, before the car left, she told us to be careful on the road, and to call her when we got home.

There was milk and candy in the snack bag, as well as salty noodles and pickled radishes made by my aunt......

As soon as we got home, my grandfather greeted us at the door.

The year without children is not lively, and without me and my brother last night, the family is probably very lonely.

But it is not a loss to go to my aunt's house for a night, in addition to eating a few delicious meals, I also took an extra New Year's money.

Tomorrow is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, also called Chinese New Year's Eve.

It is the last day of the year, in addition to the reunion dinner in the evening, the ancestors are worshiped in the morning, and the Spring Festival couplets are pasted in the afternoon.

This afternoon, I want to accompany my mother to the street to buy Spring Festival couplets.

My grandfather said that he hadn't been to our side of the street for a long time, and the family had come to the street, except for my father, who was taken to play mahjong by the eldest uncle and the second uncle.

Twenty-nine Street is still bustling with activity, and none of the shops are closed.

Spring Festival couplets and lanterns are hung in front of many shops.

According to my mother's shopping habits, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy this couplet for an hour.

Moreover, there are really many people selling Spring Festival couplets today......

"Clothes on the second floor of Jiafu supermarket are 6.8% off! There are only three days left on the offer, and quantities are limited, first come, first served!"

A truck set up a loudspeaker, and the sound of hawking all over the street reached our ears.

After hearing this, my mother was a little excited: "Yue'er, let's go tomorrow, let's go buy a pair of pants for your grandfather and your father, and see if there is a suitable one."

Before we could answer, my grandfather hurriedly smiled and excused himself: "I don't need to buy any clothes for my grandfather, my grandfather has a lot of clothes!"

I hurriedly pulled my grandfather to be coquettish: "Grandpa, let's go, let's go, hehe...... Wear new clothes for the New Year!"

Ling Ming was a little unhappy: "Mom, what about me?" Where's my son, my new clothes?"

When he said this, I remembered one thing, and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Mom, and your clothes, you didn't buy them, brother, let's wait until we finish reading."

Ling Ming gave me a look, I deliberately pretended not to see it, took my mother's arm, pushed my grandfather, and walked towards the supermarket.

Jiafu Supermarket is the first large supermarket in our town, and its second floor is our First Avenue clothing store.

As soon as we walked up to the second floor, we were greeted by a dazzling array of clothes.

Ling Ming said happily, "Mom, this jacket is good, it suits me well."

My mother went over and touched the material of the clothes, looked at the price again, and said, "The clothes in the supermarket don't give bargaining, and this clothes are a little expensive."

Ling Ming was very sensible, so he spread out his clothes and walked over to the clothes in the other area.

I secretly stuffed my mother with a handful of money and said, "Mom, this is the New Year's money I received at my aunt's house today, for you." Buy this dress for my brother! Looks like he really likes it. ”

My mother smiled and said to me: "My girl is really sensible, my mother knows that you still feel very sorry for your brother."

I pretended not to hear and ran to the old man's clothing area to pick out clothes for my grandfather.

Mom called Ling Ming to try the dress just now, and said that it was suitable and bought it.

I watched from afar as Ling Ming happily walked into the fitting room with his clothes, and I was also very happy, but I was also a little proud: with his IQ, it was enough to be my younger brother. It looks like he hasn't worn new clothes in hundreds of years......

As a result, there are also very different births from the same parents.

Ling Ming's white skin always reminds me of Snow White in fairy tales, I am the Cinderella, the girl with a gray face.

He really looks good in that jacket, this skin, he looks good in any dress.

"Old girl, what's the matter, isn't it good-looking?"

Ling Ming spun in front of me in a stinky circle.

I smiled and said, "It's good-looking, buy it, and wear new clothes for the New Year~"

Ling Ming didn't know where to take out a pink sweater and hat, buckled it on my head while I wasn't paying attention, and said, "This hat should be a New Year's gift from my brother."

I looked at the mirror and said with satisfaction: "The hat is not bad, okay, then I won't be polite to you." Thank you brother. ”

My mother personally spent half a day picking out a jacket for my grandfather, and only after half pushing and pushing the ground did I let my grandfather walk into the fitting room, and when he was ready to change out, I said with my mother and brother: "It looks good."

My grandfather looked in the mirror, and in a trance, I seemed to see a young man with picturesque eyebrows, who was as solemn and happy as he was when he put on a military uniform for the first time.

My grandfather was a soldier when he was young, trained in the army for several years, and once accidentally found his military diary in the window.

It's just a very small book.,It's written some conversations with the squad leader.,And some daily life in the army.。

For so many years, he received his winter clothes at the credit union, as well as a retirement allowance.

The jacket is a large army green long jacket, this kind of clothing is rarely seen on the street, but my grandfather has many pieces, and he has worn it for many years.

In the end, it was my mother who bought the jacket, and although my grandfather blamed my mother for spending money indiscriminately, I could feel that he was happy when he held the paper bag containing the clothes.

Otherwise, according to his character, he won't even try at all, after all, no one can beat him.

I helped my grandfather buy clothes, bought a jacket for my father, and picked out a sweater for my mother.

My mother has been working hard for this family for ten years, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which small thing in life must not let her worry about?

But she rarely bought clothes and shoes.

When it came to the point where she had to buy it, she would definitely pick up the cheapest one again......

It's not that she doesn't know how to cherish herself, but that she puts herself too low and too low in the matter of "days".

There are old people who are more expensive than him, and there are children waiting to be fed.

When I was in the second grade, my mother gave up the opportunity to go out to work, just because I was seven years old and cried after the number of the car that departed......

I can't talk about a seven-year-old girl who is not sensible, and for her, the most precious thing is just to stay with her mother.

She asked the driver to stop the car, hugged me and said, "Mom won't go, I'm not going, I won't go out in the future......"

Every time she asks me if this dress is expensive, it is when she likes it but can't afford it......

I also say every time: "It's not expensive, it's good-looking, buy it!"

Over the past 13 years, I have also been thinking a lot about the meaning of "Chinese New Year".

This year, my understanding of the Chinese New Year is: in the world of a family, there are sacrifices, but also love and understanding.
