Chapter Forty-Six: New Year's Life
At this time, the Spring Festival Gala on TV has begun, Liu Jinxing took a look, and it was quite interesting.
After watching it for a while, Liu Jinlang next to him said, "Big brother, you take me out to set off firecrackers." ”
"Okay." Liu Jinxing didn't think about it, so he agreed, what did he do if he bought so many firecrackers by himself?
Then he led Liu Jinxing out.
Of course, Li Fenghuan and the others were inevitably told to be careful, but they didn't let them go.
Liu Jinxing can also be regarded as feeling the happiness of childhood from a new one, and most of the later generations are older, and most of them are also in the city for the New Year, so it has been a long time and has not let go of firecrackers.
Liu Jinxing was putting it here, and Lin Yunan and Sun Hongyu also came over when they heard the sound.
"Sun Hongyu, come and give you a gift." Liu Jinxing handed the electronic watch to Sun Hongyu.
As soon as Sun Hongyu saw that it was an electronic watch, he said, "I can't ask for it." ”
"Take it, if I'm a brother, besides, I bought both of them." Liu Jinxing said.
"Okay, I'll take it, thank you, Brother Xing." In fact, Sun Hongyu had already found out, because the three of them were wearing down jackets, although they also liked it, but they also knew that this thing was not cheap, and they would definitely not want it.
But for electronic watches, I also like it very much, and I thank Liu Jinxing from the bottom of my heart.
"You're welcome." Liu Jinxing didn't care about this.
He bought clothes for Liu Jinlang and Lin Yunan, and they all had their own reasons, but Sun Hongyu himself was not good at buying clothes for him, but an electronic watch was still okay.
After that, several people set off firecrackers.
After a while, after Liu Jinxing's addiction passed, he didn't let it go, watching them put it, but most of them were, Sun Hongyu and Liu Jinlang put it, and Lin Yunan accompanied him to watch the excitement.
After a while, Liu Jinxing entered the house and said, "Mom, the second uncle and second aunt are going to set off fireworks, you can't come out to see?" ”
"Look." Hu Xiaozhi immediately said that in the countryside these days, it is still rare to see fireworks.
In the past, when fireworks could be set off in the countryside, the family had no money and could not afford to buy them.
Although firecrackers are also prohibited, they are not so strict, and the village can't control them at all if you set off some small firecrackers, but as long as you set off fireworks, there will be cadres looking for you.
However, it is also true that the snow in this era is very thick, and the ground is basically covered with a layer, and it is not easy for fireworks to catch fire when they fall on the ground, and in later generations, there is less snow, and the probability of fire is still quite large.
"Which of you will take it?" At this time, the fireworks are still standing and need to be held and released.
"I'll come."
"I'll come." Sun Hongyu and Liu Jinlang immediately said.
And looking at Lin Yunan's appearance, he also wanted to take it, but he didn't say it.
"Don't worry, I bought a lot of them, and I put them all together." Liu Jinxing said.
When Liu Jinxing brought the fireworks back, Li Fenghuan also saw it and knew that it should have cost a lot of money, but he didn't say anything?
Liu Jinxing first gave Liu Jinlang, then Sun Hongyu, and then Lin Yunan, and warned them that they must be placed upright, not diagonally, this is very dangerous.
And then they were put off, in fact, these fireworks, the fireworks released are not big, and they are not high, but for these people, it is also a rare sight.
When it was Lin Yunan's turn, Lin Yunan said to Liu Jinxing, "Brother, you help me hold it, I don't dare." ”
"Didn't they just hold it differently?" Liu Jin said casually.
"It's different." Lin Yunan couldn't say why, but it just felt different.
"Okay, brother will help you hold it." For Lin Yunan's request, Liu Jinxing had nothing to do.
After that, a few more fireworks were released, and after the fun, everyone dispersed, Liu Jinxing sent Lin Yunan to the door of the house, as for Sun Hongyu, it was just a incidental thing.
After Liu Jinxing returned home, his mother had already cooked the dumplings, and then Liu Jinxing came to help.
After cooking the dumplings and heating some dishes, they will eat, which is also a real Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
That coin made Li Fenghuan eat it, and Li Fenghuan also said, why wasn't Liu Jinxing eating.
Liu Jinxing doesn't care about this, if it can really work, he hopes that it will be realized in his mother.
After eating, the mother and son went to bed without undressing.
Because normally, it is necessary to keep the New Year, but at the end of this day, the mother and son are too sleepy.
So there is no New Year's Celebration, but the lights must not be turned off.
At the end of this day, there is no rich entertainment, but for Liu Jinxing, there are some different feelings.
………………
After the first day of the New Year, the first day of the new year, Liu Jinxing and his mother did not go anywhere else, because their aunt's house had already been there years ago.
That is, Li Fenghuan led Liu Jinxing to the second uncle's house to sit down, and then played cards for a day, because there was nothing else to do.
Then Liu Jinxing led again, and several children set off firecrackers.
And so the day passed.
……………
In the second year of junior high school, Li Fenghuan led Liu Jinxing back to his parents' house.
Liu Jinxing prepared again this time, full of four big bags of things, like meat, seafood, as well as fresh fruits, melons and fruit snacks.
After all, my aunt and uncle are gone, so if you don't send it, it's not appropriate, but Liu Jinxing is ready to send it one by one, after all, he lives too far, and he will go to his grandmother's house today, just one time, of course, everyone will definitely not be able to take it back, but it is better to taste it.
Li Fenghuan has no meaning about this, after all, he hasn't taken anything from home after all these years, and now that his son is preparing these things, what will he say?
Liu Jinxing and his mother, when they arrived at the fifth aunt's house, there were already a large number of people, all of whom were grandmother's sons, daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, etc.
In Yu Chunhua's life, she gave birth to more than ten children, but she raised adults, with a total of six daughters and two sons, but the youngest son's life was not very good, and he died of illness after just two years of marriage, but he also left a son, so now there are seven children.
In the era of Chunhua, the standard of life and medical care was very poor, so the chance of children dying was still quite large.
Then these children are already married and have children, and then some of the children are getting married and having children.
Liu Jinxing also has a lot of nieces and nephews, the oldest is two years older than himself, and the younger one is still nursing.
There are more than 30 people in total, this is still an immediate family, if you count Yu Chunhua's brothers and sisters, those children come to pay New Year's greetings, the number is even more, so grandma is here, it is also a small family, but there are few clan concepts in the north.
"Grandma, Happy New Year." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Jinxing followed Yu Chunhua to greet the New Year.
"Happy New Year, Mom." Then Li Fenghuan also came in from behind to pay a New Year's greeting to Yu Chunhua.
After that, he greeted those brothers and sisters for the New Year, and then took advantage of the time to pay back the money, otherwise Li Fenghuan always thought that after paying off the money this time, he would really be relaxed.
Then he also gave the things that Liu Jinxing brought to the big guys to eat.
After that, I went to help in the kitchen, because there were too many people, and I was going to eat here at noon.
When everyone saw Li Fenghuan and Liu Jinxing, they all felt different, because the new clothes were changed, and the most important thing was the breath.
A few years ago, Li Fenghuan came to his mother's house to borrow money, the man was haggard, and he was really in a bad state at first glance, but when he saw it today, his spirit was full of vitality, not only did he return the money, but he also seemed to be doing well.
It's really unbelievable that in just two months, a person has changed so much.
"Jinxing also has a good New Year, come here is the New Year's money given to you by your grandmother." Yu Chunhua took out a dollar from her arms and handed it to Liu Jinxing, which every child has.
"Thank you, grandma." Liu Jinxing obediently took over the New Year's money, and a dollar is a lot at this time, you can imagine this concept.
After that, Liu Jinxing took out the things and gave Yu Chunhua melon and fruit snacks, candy and snacks or something, "Grandma, this is what I brought you, you can taste it." ”
Then he took out a banana and gave it to grandma, peeled it and put it in her mouth.
"Okay." Yu Chunhua took the banana with a smile, and then said, "Give everyone all the candy you took." ”
At this time of year, it is the happiest time for Yu Chunhua, because the children and grandchildren gather together, and this makes Yu Chunhua even happier.
After that, Liu Jinxing took out the snacks and put them on the bright side, so that everyone could take them by themselves, after all, there were too many people, and they couldn't afford to share them.
Then I greeted the elders one by one, but this time there was no New Year's money, one was not in this habit, and the other was that the family was not rich, and there were too many children to afford.
Liu Jinxing looked at these elders, as well as their children, and was also full of emotion, especially the elders who passed away in later generations.
The relationship between these brothers and sisters is not bad, and if there is a problem at home, they will also help, but because of the problem of ability, the help is limited.
Those juniors are married, and it stands to reason that they will accompany their wives back to the door, but because there are elders here, most of them will come here except for those who have something.
Liu Jinxing went to the West House, because if these people were in the East House together, they wouldn't be able to stand at all.
After Liu Jinxing entered, he said hello, and was with those cousins and cousins, gossiping with them, looking at these brothers and sisters, Liu Jinxing felt very relaxed, these brothers and sisters are actually very good to Liu Jinxing.
It's just that because of age, they are also divided into several small groups, after all, the older ones are already married and have children, so they can't talk together at all.
In the future generations of these brothers and sisters, some of them are not bad, and some are a little bumpy, but due to the environment, life can go on.
Among them, there is one of the most special, he is his grandmother's grandson Li Yong.
Li Yong is Liu Jinxing's deceased brother-in-law, the son he left behind, and Liu Jinxing's uncle gave birth to two girls.
So Li Yong is the only male in the old Li family, twenty-one this year.
This person's life can also be regarded as an inspirational story.
