Chapter 19 is the New Year
Early the next morning, Lin Ran's biological clock woke him up on time.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to their customs, they need to paste couplets for the New Year......
Before pasting couplets, Lin Ran's father did it, but this year, Lin Ran stopped going to school, and this task was naturally handed over to Lin Ran.
Well, Lin Ran's father is in his fifties, and there are so many physical problems that he can't stick it at all.
Lin Ran helped his father paste couplets a few years ago, so he is familiar with those steps, the door, the hall door, the south house door, the toilet, the bathroom, .........
The first is the gate, and there are two couplets, which are "the millennium welcomes the new year, and the snow is a good year." Horizontal batch: more than every year "
"Good luck all year round, treasure from all directions enters the house. Horizontal batch: home and everything is prosperous. ”
The big one in the front is attached to the door, and the small one in the back is attached to the door frame.
After pasting the door couplet, Lin Ran pasted two more "Go out and see you" from the wall opposite them.
After the completion of the gate is the door of the hall house, the door is pasted with a big blessing word, and the door frame on the left and right sides is a couplet "Spring is in the earth and flowers are gorgeous, and the festival is new to the world." Horizontal batch: All the best. ”
In addition to this, there is a horizontal column on the upper frame of the door: "Home and everything is prosperous." ”
At the end of the hall door, it is the south house door, and a big blessing word is pasted on the door, and then the couplet "smooth sailing, good every year, all the best." Horizontal batch: auspicious stars shine brightly. ”
The toilet and bathroom were not pasted with couplets, but with a big blessing word.
Then it is to put a small number of blessings on the wells, water pipes, chicken pens, dog kennels, stoves, cars, etc., such as the other side.
There are four rooms in the hall, which are for my parents, Lin Ran, my sister, and a utility room.
Well, it's okay to say that there are two utility rooms, after all, Lin Ran's room is more like a utility room than a utility room.
There are no couplets on the four doors, and a simple blessing is pasted, and then the room is pasted with good health.
After all this, it was ten o'clock, and it was still early for dinner.
My parents were busy cooking, so Lin Ran accompanied my sister to the small shop in their village to buy something to drink. Well, it's the drink.
As Lin Ran expected, the old lady first asked if there was any old Kang sweet wine.
Old age, childhood memories alas!
Many years ago, it seemed that only the elderly could afford it, or that only the elderly could consume it.
It was also not unexpected by Lin Ran, and the owner of the store replied that there was no.
I don't know why, the old man disappeared inexplicably in the first two years, and he was rarely seen in the store.
Others don't know, but for Lin Ran and his elder sister, Lao Liangkang is full of memories.
bought a bottle of red wine that I didn't know the brand, a bucket of orange juice, and the old lady went home to help her parents cook, and Lin Ran went to the eldest brother's house to see if the eldest brother needed help.
It turns out that Lin Ran is really needed to help, the eldest brother is in the fourth grade, and he knows less than a thousand words, and the second uncle is not much stronger than the eldest brother.
When Lin Ran arrived, he found that they were hesitating how to post it?
It's not that I won't stick, as a traditional custom, even if I close my eyes, the second uncle can be done, but this year, the second uncle didn't know what stimulated him, and he actually bought a traditional Chinese couplet.
When they bought it, they told the second uncle about it, but now it's ...... The second uncle forgot, so he hesitated.
Although Lin Ran didn't learn well, he had learned the Chinese culture of five, five, six or six, and he didn't know traditional characters, but he knew more or less simplified characters.
Although these traditional characters are a little more complicated, you can still see their appearance in simplified Chinese, and the couplet should mean this.
"Smooth sailing, auspicious stars arrive, all the best luck. Horizontal batch: financial resources are widely advanced. ”
In addition to the gate, there are also the hall door and the south house gate, and the time has reached about 11:00 after helping the second uncle paste the couplet, and he has been busy for nearly an hour.
I declined the second uncle's kindness to leave me to eat, and when I returned home, I found that my parents were still busy, and there was still an hour to go from the hotel.
I was a little bored, so I stayed in the house and played with my phone.
Find QQ and send a happy new year to all your contacts, and then find their youth that doesn't end We are all discovering that Brother Lei and Yao Jie are discussing something fiercely.
Lin Ran clicked in and took a look, it turned out that he was discussing where to go out to play after the New Year?
Lin Ran thought about it, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and it was time to get together.
After thinking about it, Lin Ran sent a message.
"I'll start work on the 6th, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th you flop, right?"
Yao Jie: "I can do it anytime. ”
Zhao Shiqiang: "I also started school on the 6th. ”
Zhao Lei: "So early? ”
Wang Songzhi: "I have something to do on the 2nd. ”
Li Binghai: "I can do it anytime. ”
Liu Shengxian: "I am also ......"
Then they got into a discussion, and finally after everyone's discussion, they decided to go out on the 3rd.
They blew it for a while with Brother Yao Jielei, and Lin Ran also withdrew from "We are all in the youth that never ends", and found Nian Han, who was paid special attention to by him.
After thinking about it, I canceled the other party's special attention, and then sent a message.
"Do you have time on the second day of the Lunar New Year? We'll see you when we have time. ”
The text message was quickly replied, very simply, one word.
"Yes."
Lin Ran couldn't help but smile, and then replied with a message again.
"Then the second day of the Lunar New Year, where are we going to meet?"
The message was again replied quickly.
"South Gate of New Oriental Shopping Plaza, eleven o'clock."
Lin Ran replied with a "hmm", and then stopped sending messages, and no more messages came from the other side.
When he chatted for a while, the time also reached more than twelve o'clock, and his parents were also cooking one after another, and the elder sister was assisting on the side, and after a while, a dish was freshly baked, and then plate after plate.
Finally, at 12:40, all 10 dishes were finished and served, and Dad went to the bungalow to set off firecrackers.
After the food and wine were served, my parents didn't eat, and they were still busy there, not knowing what to do.
Lin Ran and the elder sister, as usual, did not wait for their parents to start moving first.
Pour yourself and your sister a juice drink, and start moving.
The elder sister also started directly, and there was no intention of waiting for her parents to eat together.
It's been like this for the past few years, and I don't know what my parents are busy with? You have to wait until they're almost done.
This year, as in previous years, halfway through their meal, Mom and Dad finally came to the table and ate.
Lin Ran's meal was very small, even if the things he cooked were very delicious, he still didn't eat too much, but he drank three or four glasses of drinks in a row.
It's not that Lin Ran likes to drink drinks, but he is thirsty, and this drink is warmed, and it tastes very good, so he drank a few more glasses without holding back.
After lunch, Lin Ran got up with nothing to do, if he had eaten a few years ago, he would either go to his eldest brother's house to play, or just roast the fire at home, or watch TV and play with his mobile phone.
Now that I don't go to school, I have a job, I'm bored, I want to go to my eldest brother's house, but I'm alone, no one is with me, and I don't know what to do when I go.
You can't play cards with two people, what can you play?
And playing cards is quite boring.
As for staying at home, Lin Ran is the uncle who is responsible for eating, he can't do anything, and he doesn't need to do it. Parents can handle everything, even if parents can't handle it, and there is an old sister to help, there is no need for Lin Ran to do it himself.
After hesitating and tangling, I finally stayed at home and played with my mobile phone.
What else can you play with your phone? In addition to reading novels is to play games and watch the news. Lin Ran rarely watches the news.
Watching TV?
Lin Ran gave up on domestic TV as early as a few years ago, and foreign... I don't want to worship foreign flattery, so I haven't watched it for a long time.
Playing games? is not the kind of person who plays games, Lin Ran's mobile phone only has two games, in addition to happy entertainment.
Reading a novel? The damned authors all broke off in the name of the New Year.
After looking for my phone for a while, I really didn't find out how to spend the rest of my time.
It's really helpless.,Find iQiyi and rummage through it.,A cartoon pushed on the home page... Draw the bad people of the rivers and lakes.
I was bored and watched an episode Lin Ran was not attracted, and I was still not attracted in episode 2, but after episode 3, Lin Ran was attracted by painting rivers and lakes?
Originally, I was disappointed with domestic films... desperate, but now, Lin Ran feels that domestic animation seems to be about to rise.
In this way, just like seeing a particularly good-looking novel, Lin Ran just kept watching it and watched it, and it took 17 episodes to stop.
It's not that I've finished reading it, but that there is something that Lin Ran needs to do.
What is it? Sorry forgot.
In short, after doing something, Lin Ran came to the south house, and looked at the bad people who painted the rivers and lakes while baking the stove.
It's good-looking, it's very good-looking, it's very good-looking, but it's a little bad, and the time is too short.
The time of an episode is about sixteen or seventeen minutes, but the advertisement alone is seven or eight minutes, which is not enough to watch at all.
At that time, the first part had been completed, with a total of 54 episodes, and Lin Ran had to stop after watching 30 episodes in a row, because it was evening again, and it was time to eat something.
In the evening, my mother made dumplings, and Lin Ran really didn't like dumplings very much, even if my mother made pure meat, and it was lean meat, but she still didn't eat much, and she didn't eat eight or nine.
I originally wanted to continue to watch the paintings of the rivers and lakes, but there are still many things to be busy, and the Spring Festival Gala is coming soon, in line with traditional customs, I need to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so I put down my mobile phone, and entered the hall with my parents, parents and sisters, chatting while waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.
