Chapter 9: Group Worship
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
When they got up that morning, He Yan and Lou Bi'e put on the new clothes they bought.
Since the day when some children began to set off firecrackers everywhere, the smell of the New Year has become stronger and stronger, and on the thirtieth day, He Yan felt the flavor of the New Year, and the mood was very good.
However, Lou Bi'e was not in a good mood, because she had no relationship with the child, as soon as she went home for the New Year, Xu Damao's parents would ask about the child, and they were afraid of him.
After He Yan and Lou Bi'e finished breakfast, they cleaned up this thing together.
He Yan looked at Lou Bi'e holding peanuts in a net pocket there, and said, "I said, are you going out to do charity?" ”
"You're done with it, and before you get home, you'll have to leak."
Lou Bi'e said with a sad face: "I won't go to your house this year, I'll go back to my mother's for the New Year." ”
He Yan said: "Are you sick, don't go home for the New Year, go to your mother's house for the New Year?" ”
"Or are we divorced?"
Lou Bi'e said: "It's not sick." ”
"Every time I go back for the Chinese New Year, your parents urge you to have children, you want children, and I want children too."
"I just don't want to go."
He Yan said: "Just go back for the New Year, and it's over." ”
"Besides, how can you not go home for the New Year, let the neighbors see it, and think what happened to the two of us."
Lou Bi'e said: "But I really don't want to go." ”
In the end, after the two discussed, Lou Bi'e still decided to follow He Yan home for the New Year.
However, the two decided that they would be able to talk less about it by waiting until the afternoon.
After a while, the third master shouted outside: "Xu Damao, paste the couplet." ”
As soon as He Yan heard this, he grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his pocket, then went out and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Happy New Year for the three masters, happy New Year for the three mothers." ”
The three masters and the three mothers also smiled when they heard this: "Happy New Year, happy New Year." ”
The third master smiled and asked, "Paste the couplet?" ”
He Yan smiled and said, "Of course I pasted it, just waiting for you and the three mothers to come over." ”
When the third master heard this, he smiled happily and said, "Okay, then paste it." ”
"Old woman, it's paste."
Then the three mothers happily took a small brush, dipped the paste in the paste bowl, and began to brush the wall.
At this time, there were two firecrackers, and the laughter of children.
Then the three masters pasted the couplet.
As soon as He Yan saw that he had finished pasting it, he took out peanuts from his pocket and said to them: "Three masters, come, moisten the pen, please accept it." ”
"Okay, good, just give some, just give some." The three masters' eyes lit up as soon as they saw the peanuts, and they took it with a smile.
Then the three of them had a few New Year's words. The third master went to other homes to continue to earn a pen.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
He Yan and Lou Bi'e were at home, and after Xu Damao's mother had to ask two questions every year: "Are you pregnant?" ”
"Do you want to eat sour?"
Then in the disappointment of the old two, they had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
And in Qin Huairu's house, the deaf old lady, the stupid pillar, the first uncle and the first aunt all went.
After the three of them kowtowed to the deaf old lady and Jia Zhang's and paid New Year's greetings, after the three children received the New Year's money for the first time, the four of them also started to eat.
At the house of the three masters, the three masters sat in front of the radio and listened to the life, the sound was small, and if they didn't put their ears on the speaker of the radio, they couldn't hear it clearly.
Others asked him to be louder, and he was disgusted with electricity.
And the family looked at him blankly, waiting for their family's New Year's drama to share peanuts.
Just when Yan Jiefang couldn't wait and began to urge him, the third master left the radio, took a pot of peanuts, and began to fry the shovel and distribute peanuts to the family.
One person and one shovel, the distribution is very fair, and the whole family is very happy to eat peanuts.
And the second uncle's family, the second uncle is much more generous, he is an official fan who always wants to progress, he will be drinking wine, eating food, and listening to the radio at the same time, but he listens to the news, and the whole family can hear the voice.
And since this day, the eldest couple who have never come back have also returned with their children on this day.
This boss is like a hungry wolf, eating dumplings with his head down, without any smile, and he doesn't talk to the second uncle.
I have to say that in this courtyard, if you want to talk about white-eyed wolves, the first one is definitely the boss of the second uncle's family.
Since he was a child, the second uncle and the second aunt have liked him the most, biased towards him, biased to give him any good things, and when he got married, he hollowed out the family funds, making the second and third children complain.
As a result, this boss who grew up in a honey pot was unwilling to deal with the second uncle and the second aunt, and he didn't come back.
The most excessive thing is that he also said the that parents are unkind and children are not filial.
The second uncle and the second aunt were so good to him that they really fed the dogs.
And the second uncle didn't say anything about the boss's performance, and the atmosphere of the family was quite harmonious and joyful.
The second aunt and the two of them squeezed the second master together.
The second uncle obviously graduated from high school, and the second aunt said that he graduated from junior high school.
The second brother said that the second uncle did not become an official, which is a good thing.
The second uncle of the New Year was not angry, so he happily corrected their mistakes.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, after eating dumplings, because Xu Damao's parents' house was small and there was no place to live, He Yan rode a bicycle and went home to sleep with Lou Bi'e.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Because the meeting in the courtyard in front of him has been decided, this year the courtyard will no longer practice each person to pay New Year's greetings alone, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone will gather in the courtyard at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the big guys will have a group worship together.
So that morning, as soon as everyone saw that it was almost ten o'clock, they all gathered in the courtyard.
As soon as He Yan and Lou Bi'e walked to the front yard of the meeting, they saw that they didn't know who produced the peanuts and melon seeds, Yan Jiefang, the boss of the three masters, and the three big ladies were frantically putting them in their pockets.
He Yan walked over and grabbed a handful of hair, and then followed the meeting while eating.
At this time, when the master saw that the time was up, he stood up and asked, "Have you all arrived?" ”
The second uncle said: "You are the boss, you say it first." ”
The third master said: "Don't don't, the stupid pillar hasn't come yet." ”
Silly Zhu happened to step over from the middle courtyard at this time and said, "Silly Zhu is here, here." ”
After saying that, he also went over to grab a handful of melon seeds, and then walked into the crowd.
The first uncle asked the second and third masters, "Then start now?" ”
The second uncle nodded and said, "Start, start." ”
Uncle Yi stood up and said: "Today, it's 1966, the first day of the Lunar New Year. ”
When Silly Zhu heard this, he immediately stopped doing it and said, "Don't write a word." ”
"The Spring Festival of '66, the first day of the Lunar New Year."
The second uncle said: "Don't interject." ”
The third master looked at the stupid pillar and said, "Okay, okay, okay, just your little bit of water is still talking here." ”
