Chapter 33: Chinese New Year

The house was built, but the grandmother was seriously ill, Shangliang didn't want to let the grandmother go, but the grandmother insisted on going, Chunmei helped her, looking at the newly built brick house, she showed a smile on her face, burning paper, praying for blessings, kowtowing, she was very pious, and she would be respectful.

The house was built, and the whole family was skinny, especially Bai Xue, who was so thin that her big eyes sank into the pit, her apple-like face became duck-egg-shaped, and her lips couldn't cover her teeth.

The house was built, all the things in the family were exhausted, the debt of more than 2,000 yuan was saddled, and the pot could not be opened, and it became a problem for the family to eat, which was really to the point of being poor and white.

When the roof is built, it is difficult to describe whether it is happy or sad......

The sound of firecrackers woke up Pengxiang from his dream, he got up with a bone, saw that his father and mother were cooking dumplings, and then looked out, the yard was still dark, but the sound of firecrackers was endless.

Peng Cheng woke up, Bai Xue also woke up, and Chunmei brought out new clothes for them. Peng Cheng put on a student blue pants gown, looked up and down, and was very happy.

Bai Xue put on new cotton pants with large flowers, put on a red silk gown, changed into new cloth shoes, combed two pigtails by herself, and inserted two sea flowers, and she was also very happy.

How to wear the unique Pengxiang new clothes are not suitable, the jacket is last year's jacket, after a few days of wearing it was locked into the box by the mother, this year to wear again, small, the sleeves are a lot shorter, barely put on a tight body uncomfortable, the button can not be buttoned, the mother laughed and said that he grew fast, last year was still very big. The pants are changed from my father's rotten pants, and they are comfortable to wear, but they are very fat, and both legs are suitable for wearing one trouser leg.

He didn't have a belt, so he found two shoelaces to tie them up, they were too thin to tie, and then he looked for them and found a baggage belt, Pengxiang didn't ask for it, he took it off and threw it aside as if he was angry, and put on his torn cotton jacket and rotten cotton pants, and went out without a sound.

Wang Sen saw it in his eyes and asked her, "You didn't make him a new dress?" ”

"He doesn't want to be good, he can't wear good clothes," Chunmei said with a smile.

"Look at what he wears, on the New Year, it makes the child unhappy," Wang Sen said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Three days and two days, the year has passed, what does it matter if the children are dressed well?"

As he was talking, the three Jinguang brothers came to kowtow, and looked at what they were wearing, all of them were new, with new pants, new gowns, new hats and new shoes. Looking at what other people's children are wearing, and then looking at what his own children are wearing, Wang Sen is very angry, he said with a dark face: "It's not that the family has no money, it's okay to make one for him,"

"Didn't I lend all the money to his second uncle for his marriage, didn't I tell you," Chunmei said.

"Then you will send them all, and you don't know if you can leave some money to tear two feet of cloth for the children?" Wang Sen asked.

"At that time, I wanted to sell the little pig to him and pull his clothes, didn't the little pig not sell it," Chunmei defended.

"If the little pig can't be sold, he won't be ripped off, why don't you tell me if you don't have money? You go and give me the money to get it back, you don't have the money to marry any daughter-in-law," Wang Sen said angrily as he threw the colander on the ground.

"Are you talking human, how can you ask for it now, you are willing to borrow money, and no one is forcing you. I still don't want my child to wear it well, all these years, have I ever pulled a piece of clothing, I bought a scarf and gave it to his sister-in-law, I don't want to wear it well," Chunmei was also angry, she said and sat on the edge of the kang to wipe her eyes.

Wang Sen also stopped making a sound, and he smoked a smoky cigarette.

Bai Xue ran in from outside, saw that she was about to cry, and said that people said that her cotton pants were not good-looking.

Chunmei picked her up and wept.

Pengxiang entered the house, and when he saw his father and mother like this, he wanted to sneak out, but his father stopped him and said, "Our family has money, and when we open a set, we will give you a new one." ”

Pengxiang didn't make a sound, he leaned next to his mother. Chunmei took his new clothes again, and Pengxiang put them on obediently.

The alley was lively, full of laughter and greetings.

When they came back from their grandmother's New Year's greetings, the brothers went to kowtow to Wang Shuzhouni again.

When they entered the house, the brothers took off and kowtowed.

Zhou Ni sat cross-legged on the kang, she looked at Pengxiang, couldn't help but smile and said: "Look at the pants Pengxiang is wearing, they are fatter than mine, how did your mother change it for you?" ”

Everyone in the room laughed, and the little face of the laughing Pengxiang was red, and he didn't dare to raise his head. Jin Chengdu laughed so much that he fell into his mother's arms and couldn't sit up.

Wang Shu couldn't help but smile and give the brothers candy, Pengxiang didn't want it, Wang Shu just stuffed it into his trouser pocket, but the sugar fell out of his trouser leg.

The room was full of laughter, and Zhou Ni covered her mouth with laughter and lowered her head.

Wang Shu picked it up with a smile and stuffed it into his hand.

When the brothers came out, Peng Cheng gritted his teeth and scolded, "Zhou Nizi, Zhou Da Fatty, he threw the candy on the ground, stomped a few feet, and snatched Pengxiang's candy and threw it on the ground...

Mocking Niangniang happened to come over and pick it up, and said to Chunmei: "You see Xiao Xiangzi and Da Chengzi threw away all the sugar, how painful it is." ”

As she spoke, she put the candy on the table and took out some peanuts and melon seeds from her pocket.

After the mocking lady left, Peng Cheng scolded and said how the uncle's family laughed at them.

Chunmei was very angry when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Pengxiang, when she saw her son lying on the haystack of the earthen kang in the northeast house, no matter how he screamed, Chunmei felt uncomfortable, she regretted it, no matter how difficult it was, even if she borrowed money, she should ......
