On the first day of the new year, early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Miao Dazhuang got up and went downstairs to open the door and set off firecrackers, which is their tradition here, which means that the new year is off to a good start.

After washing, they went to the kitchen, lit the wood stove and boiled the noodles and washed the water, there is a custom in their village, that is, on the morning of the first day of the new year, the men in the family should make breakfast and the women rest.

It used to be made by Miao's father, but this year Miao Dazhuang wanted to cook a breakfast for them himself, he had never cooked a meal for his parents when he was so old, so he took this opportunity to let his parents have a meal he cooked.

Maybe it was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, Miao's father and Miao's mother came to the kitchen

"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year." Miao Dazhuang looked at his parents and said with a smile

"Happy New Year." Miao Dad, Miao Ma said in unison

"Da Zhuang, you go to rest and let Mom come." Miao's mother looked at the busy Da Zhuangdao

"Fuck the kid, you don't have to worry about it today, I'll do it, come to Da Zhuang, you and your mother go to rest, leave it to me here." Father Miao pushed his hands on Mother Miao's shoulders and pushed out

"Mom and Dad, don't fight, today I want to make a breakfast for you personally, I haven't done anything for you when I'm so old, I'll do it today." Miao Dazhuang looked at his parents with a smile and said

Miao Dad, Miao Ma looked at each other and smiled: "Okay, my family has really grown up, then your father and I will wait to enjoy the blessings." ”

After breakfast, Miao Dad and Miao Dazhuang prepared to "worship their ancestors", which is also a passed down custom, and on the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve in the village, they would bring incense and candle offerings to the ancestors' graves, and respectfully invite the ancestors to return home for the New Year. Then, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they had to bring the offerings and money paper and send the ancestors back to the cemetery to worship and say goodbye. The implication is that on the most festive festival of the year, do not forget the grace of the ancestors, and spend the festival together.

Walking on the village road, although the weather is cold, it can't stop the joy of the New Year: the red balloons on the treetops, the red lanterns under the eaves, the fiery firecracker crumbs on the ground, and the red Spring Festival couplets posted at the door of every house, as well as the red envelopes held by children, all witness the joy brought to us by the Spring Festival.

"Happy New Year Uncle, Happy New Year Aunt, and Happy New Year in Xia Ye" Miao Dazhuang, who came back after worshipping his ancestors, greeted the uncle's family at the door one by one

"Happy New Year, Da Zhuang! My aunt heard that you have started a big company and made a lot of money, which is really amazing. Aunt said

"Luckily, I didn't make much, haha..."Miao Dazhuang said modestly

"Xia Ye, you are really, you are still ignorant after you graduate, and you don't say hello to your brother and uncle." Aunt looked at Xia Ye with some hatred for the way that iron does not become steel

"Young people, they have their own way of getting along, don't get in the way, go in and sit." Miao's father said in a round field

"No, there are still guests coming to the house later, let's come here to let Xia Ye play with your family Da Zhuang more and get in touch, so that he can learn more with Da Zhuang." Aunt said with a smile

"Mom, I said I don't want to come, my friend is still waiting for me to open the black, it's not easy to celebrate the New Year, you can't let me relax." Xia Ye looked impatient

"How do you talk about this kid, I still don't let you relax, let me tell you, it's that I'm too relaxed with you to make you go to college, you look at the people who are strong, and now they have opened their own company, and he has only graduated not long ago, you look at the car that people drive, I heard the people in the village say that it is at least hundreds of thousands, what about you? When the salary is 2-3,000, you still have to play games, I'm really angry, I told you, you have to follow today, and you have to follow if you don't. Aunt yelled at Natsuba

"Cut, I don't need you to use your care." Xia Ye looked indifferent

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, this is a big New Year, it's unlucky, if there is anything, we can sit down and discuss it slowly, don't be angry." Miao's mother heard the voice and walked out of the house and comforted her

"Da Zhuang, let you see the jokes, don't you mind, the main thing is this Xia Ye, it's too unproductive, you must help your aunt, so let Xia Ye give you a hand, or go to work in your company, don't give too much salary, it's okay to be the same as a normal person, do you think this is okay?" The aunt looked at Miao Dazhuang, tears rolling in her eyes, and she looked like she might fall at any time

"Ah Lan, don't embarrass Da Zhuang." Uncle interjected next to him

"But if you have some ability, I'm like this, what kind of person am I really married!" The aunt pointed to the uncle's nose and said loudly

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, you see that this big and strong company has just started, and it is not very stable, and his company has no employees, all robots are working..."

It's not that Miao's mother is unwilling to help, and Xia Ye has been skinny since he was a child, and it is even worse when he reaches junior high school and high school, fighting and fighting every day, not returning home at night, smoking and drinking, mixing with a group of social hooligans, and making the girl's belly bigger at school after going to junior college, these things are already famous in the village, he is afraid that his children will not be able to control Xia Ye, and the company will be messed up when the time comes.

"the kid, how do you talk, we Da Zhuang are capable now, if you can help us, Da Zhuang, do you say yes." Father Miao looked at Miao Dazhuang and said

Hearing Miao's father's words, Miao's mother stomped her feet anxiously, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only look at Da Zhuang anxiously, afraid that Miao Dazhuang would agree.

"Dad, you're right, we can help as much as we can between relatives." Miao Dazhuang said with a smile

"Oh, that's right." Father Miao also smiled

The tears in my aunt's eyes were also put away, and she smiled with satisfaction

Only Miao's mother was anxious on the side...

"However, my mother is right, my company is a high-tech company, the company has no employees, and the company is not suitable for recruiting employees now, I think it is not like this, I will invest you 1 million, you find a good location for Xia Ye to open a supermarket, as long as you operate well, the income of 1-20,000 yuan a month is indispensable, the loss is mine, the income is yours, as for the money, you can look at it yourself, if you have it, it doesn't matter, don't be in a hurry to pay it back." Miao Dazhuang said to his aunt's family

Xia Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Mom, this is good, we will open our own supermarket and start our own business." ”

The aunt smiled like a chrysanthemum and said: "Da Zhuang, you are really a child, you help our family Xia Ye like this, my aunt doesn't know how to thank you, what you say is what it is, then say it like this, there are still guests at home, I have to go back to prepare first, and you will come over to eat together later." ”

After sending off the uncle's family, Miao's mother pulled Miao's father upstairs, and Miao's father could still hear Miao's father's confession......

In the next two days, Miao Dazhuang's seven aunts and eight aunts came to visit one by one, and even some relatives who had not been in contact for twenty or thirty years came to visit this year, some wanted to be a matchmaker for him, and some asked him for help, so Miao Dazhuang was physically and mentally exhausted to deal with them one by one...
