Chapter 3, New Year's Turmoil
I didn't return to the house the day after I got married.
Next, it's time to prepare for the New Year. Yang Cuiping's mother's living conditions are a little better, every year for the New Year, chicken, duck and fish, beef, game, are all prepared, every year to kill the New Year's pig, sausage, bacon, melon seeds, peanuts and candy, as well as folk snacks, are very rich, tobacco and alcohol are dozens of yuan a bottle. (At that time, the average family celebrated the New Year, and tobacco and alcohol were bought for a few yuan a bottle).
The Song family, because of the banquet, there is meat left, I don't know how much, and nothing else has been prepared. Yang Cuiping spent her first year in the Song family, and she didn't know how their family celebrated the New Year. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Ziyang's brother Li Guoqing said that he ate at their house in Chinese New Year's Eve and at Song Ziyang's house on the first day of the new year. Brother Li Guoqing has married and started a family, and there are two little nieces, Song Ziyang's brother's name is Li Guoqing, he is surnamed by Yang Cuiping's mother-in-law, mother-in-law's surname is Li, called Li Guihua, the only daughter of her mother-in-law's grandparents, and her grandmother gave birth to a daughter, so her mother-in-law did not marry.
The father-in-law is the son-in-law, and the father-in-law's surname is Song, and his name is Song Chengquan.
Brother Li Guoqing was not born to his brother Song Chengquan.
The mother-in-law recruited a door-to-door son-in-law before, and after she became pregnant with her brother Li Guoqing, for some reason, my brother's biological father returned to his own home, and he didn't come back. Later, someone introduced the current father-in-law Song Chengquan to the door.
After his father-in-law came to the door, he gave birth to Song Ziyang and his sister Song Ziying.
When the mother-in-law and the grandparents separated, the elder brother Li Guoqing was divided into the grandparents' family, and the elder brother was only four years old that year. At that time, when the family was separated, it was also said that in the future, the grandparents would be supported by their elder brother.
After the family was separated, the mother-in-law and father-in-law repaired the house and left the grandfather's house for a mile away.
Chinese New Year's Eve is ready to eat at his brother's house. After breakfast, the family prepared to go to the brother's house, and before leaving, the mother-in-law boiled the meat in the pot. Said it was going to be eaten the next day.
People here eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at noon, and after eating, the family has to go to burn paper money on the graves of their ancestors. Yang Cuiping is the new daughter-in-law, so she must go to the ancestral grave.
After burning paper for the ancestral grave of the Li family first, he went to burn paper for the ancestral grave of the Song family. The father-in-law's mother's house is very close to the mother-in-law's house, the father-in-law's family is the fourth team, and the mother-in-law's house is the third team. The father-in-law's family has an older brother and a younger brother, and Yang Cuiping wants to call her father and father. When I went to my father-in-law's ancestral grave to burn paper, I had to pass by the door of my father and my father's house, and when my father saw it, he asked him to go to their house to sit down. I don't know what happened later, I invited my father and my father to my house at night, my aunt has always had a discordant relationship with Yang Cuiping's mother-in-law, and the two families had no contact before, maybe this year a new daughter-in-law was added to the family, everyone was happy, so the brothers got together and started drinking again at night. Originally, I had drunk almost at my brother's house at noon, and I drank at my father's house in the afternoon, and I drank too much at night, and my brother and my father quarreled, my brother did not forgive, my father was an honest man, and I was a little afraid of my brother Li Guoqing, so I cried loudly, and my father-in-law couldn't persuade him, and the family quarreled, and my father-in-law fainted angrily, which ended this farce. Yang Cuiping is stupid again, why do you still cry and scream during the New Year's Festival, what's going on, most people are taboo about the quarrels of the New Year's Festival, that is, if there is anything, those who celebrate the New Year will endure it.
In his own mother's family, although his father is a bit feudal and old-fashioned, he is at least educated, he has been a cadre, and his mother is also a typical good wife and mother, and his mother is very good at running a house. The family never quarreled, and sometimes it was inevitable that there would be disputes, and the mother was very good at making trouble.
On the first day of junior high school, the grandparents and brothers' family were invited to the house for dinner, the first day the mother-in-law said that the meat was boiled in the pot, but the next day, that is, the first day of the new year was ready to eat, the mother-in-law said, the meat was boiled rotten, and it was impossible to eat, and a few dishes were fried at noon, how could the mother-in-law seem to cook, it was the rice cooked by the sister-in-law, Yang Cuiping felt that it was not as good as the usual food, the lotus white fried meat, all fried paste, the radish boiled soup, the radish still couldn't bite, and the other melon seeds and peanut candy had nothing, not to mention the others......
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Cuiping and Song Ziyang were going back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, but their mother-in-law did not pay for the journey, but only prepared dozens of eggs, a bottle of wine, and a piece of meat. Before going out, Yang Cuiping said to Song Ziyang: "This gift is only enough to give to one family, the eldest brother and the father have separated, and the second sister is also married in the team. Song Ziyang said: "I'm going to get a bottle of wine and a piece of meat." At that time, his mother-in-law's family was not at home, so Song Ziyang went to his mother-in-law's room to get a bottle of wine and a piece of meat to put it up, and went back to her parents' house with Yang Cuiping to pay New Year's greetings. It took several days to return to my parents' house for New Year's greetings, so I didn't tell my mother-in-law in time.
Later, the mother-in-law went to her grandfather's house and said that Yang Cuiping stole a bottle of wine and a piece of meat from the family and took them back to her parents' house. (This was only a few years later, when Yang Cuiping heard from her sister-in-law that she found out about it...... (That bottle of wine is only more than seven yuan, they usually only drink two or three yuan a bottle of wine, smoke a few cents a pack of cigarettes, Yang Cuiping's wedding banquet, the Song family only smokes eight cents a pack of cigarettes, so they think Yang Cuiping stole a bottle of the best wine back to her parents' house). Yang Cuiping's mother's family is not rare at all for a few dollars a bottle of wine, when Yang Cuiping went back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings without gifts, she was embarrassed to go back to her parents' house empty-handed, so she took it, who knew that it was stolen, Yang Cuiping was simply speechless......
