As the New Year approaches, the town is becoming more and more lively, as soon as Ye Yaodong walks to the street, it is crowded, people come and go, not to mention cycling, people can't walk.

He was worried that the bicycle would be stolen if it was parked on the side of the road, so he simply found a small shop nearby, left the bicycle in front of someone's store, locked it, and asked the shopkeeper to look at it for a dime.

But he didn't expect that once he entered and one went out, the bicycle was saved, but the two pieces scattered in his pocket were gone.

Originally, I wanted to buy two pairs of Spring Festival couplets, but fortunately, the photos were too big and many, and I also took them for his two brothers, and I couldn't put them in my pockets, so I kept them in my hands, otherwise I would have taken them in vain, and the negatives were wrapped in newspaper and held in my hands.

He put the photo in his hand in the basket of the bicycle, and scolded, "Riding a horse, this Chinese New Year thief is too rampant, just take a photo for a few minutes, and the money will be stolen." ”

The shopkeeper also echoed and scolded, "That is to say, there have been too many petty thefts recently, and small things have been touched every day in my stall, either there is no stack of nylon socks, or there is no pair of insoles, or there are no handkerchiefs, and I almost died of anger, and the whole family comes to stare at it, and I can't avoid it." ”

Ye Yaodong just complained, and after answering casually, he got on his bicycle and went back.

The Chinese New Year is too chaotic, and when I pass through a few alleys in front, I still see people fighting, and I also see people blatantly dragging people into the alleys to blackmail.

Although this year's crackdown is severe, this kind of thing is still not uncommon, and it may be a little more restrained in normal times, but it will be rampant during the New Year.

Forget it, it didn't come out a year ago.

When the time comes, it is good to ask someone to write a couplet, and the handwritten brush words are not bad, which is better than printing, and is one of the essences of traditional Chinese culture.

Lin Xiuqing knew that after going to the town, he would lose more than two yuan, and he was depressed, which was a lot of money.

"You just can't put money in your pocket."

"I don't have any money in my pocket, isn't it all in you? I had two dollars left over from buying pork yesterday...... Ah, no......"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped talking, but found that it was too late, and the words had already blurted out.

"Didn't you say you bought meat? Have you learned to hide your money? I took 20 yuan to buy meat, and I have two pieces left, and your profit is not low! ”

He smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, aren't you thinking about leaving two pieces in your pocket to buy a cigarette, or buying something for the two children to eat?" I was thinking that I would go to the street and buy a couplet by the way. You see! I used it all in the public house, I didn't hide it, but it was just stolen. ”

Lin Xiuqing saw that he lowered his head flatteringly, and when he spoke flatteringly, he didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to, so he only glared at him, and then turned his head.

"Who knows if you're going to buy a couplet if it's true or not? Anyway, you just can't put money in your pocket, and once you put the money, it's easy to run out, and it's either spent or dropped. ”

The two children stood aside, looked at his father, and then at his mother, Ye Chenghu was still snickering there.

Lin Xiuqing poked his forehead with his index finger, "Go out and play, get in the way here." ”

"I want to see the photos!"

Ye Yaodong also explained at the same time: "You don't know how many people there are in the town near the end of the year? There are more people on the street than last year, and there are so many people on the street that they can barely squeeze in, and they have to walk by moving......"

"Don't explain, show me the picture."

"Na, the shooting is pretty good, but it's a pity that it's black and white, if it's painted in color, it's expensive, and you can take more than a dozen photos."

Lin Xiuqing happily opened the newspaper wrapped outside, and said, "Black and white photos are already fine, why do you want color?" What a waste of money. ”

"Show me, show me ......"

"I want to see ...... too"

The two children stood on tiptoe and grabbed her arm, but accidentally, the photos on her hands were scattered all over the ground.

The two boys' skins tightened instantly, they both took a step back, and said in unison: "I didn't mean to ......"

Lin Xiuqing glared at them, and hurriedly leaned over to pick them up, "If you go, you will get in the way and help you." ”

The old lady smiled and patted them on the shoulder, "It's okay, just pick it up and blow it." ”

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, yesterday Brother Ahai broke the bowl by showing off eating lard residue, and was beaten miserably by the eldest aunt, they felt that their buttocks hurt when they saw it, so they couldn't help but panic.

"Did you get your eldest brother and second brother back?" The old lady asked Ye Yaodong.

"I helped take it, and Ah Guang and theirs are all under the basket, and I will send them over later, and it will save them another trip." The others don't care, what if they get rid of it? ”

"Hey, this family photo should be framed in a photo frame......" Lin Xiuqing looked at it with taste, and commented while reading.

"It's not big enough, wait until the end of the New Year, let him wash a large one, let him frame it, take it back and hang it on the wall, now the photo studio is too busy, and when I go in the morning, it's overcrowded."

"During the Chinese New Year, many people are willing to take one or two photos to commemorate it."

The family sat around the table, chattering and discussing whether the photo was good or not.

Ye's sister-in-law Ye and Er's sister-in-law heard the movement at the door, and also knew that Ye Yaodong had received a photo from the town and came back, so she hurriedly came over to get her own photo.

Everyone was smiling and happy, their family was not like Ye Yaodong's family, both of them were taking pictures for the first time, and this was also their first photo.

This year is a bumper year, the three brothers have made no less money, everyone has a store, and the two sisters-in-law are also willing to buy a bunch of New Year's goods, and they also rushed to invite Ye's father and Ye's mother to their house for the New Year.

Ye's father and Ye's mother were also very happy, regardless of whether it was sincere or false, at least the three daughters-in-law vied with each other to invite them to celebrate the New Year at home, and they also had face when they said it.

Some people's daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are like enemies, not to mention inviting the New Year, they can't wait to get along with each other, and they are noisy and noisy every day, and the whole family is noisy and decayed.

However, Ye's father and mother have been eating at Ye Yaodong's house all year round, and of course they don't plan to go to the eldest and second family's house for the New Year.

Moreover, the New Year, once a year on Chinese New Year's Eve, must be a family sitting together for a reunion, and a beautiful New Year.

Last year, I had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Ye Yaodong's house, and this year Ye's mother plans to cook a table in the old house by herself, and the big family will celebrate the New Year together.

Each of them brought a few bowls of food, and some of them were full of one table, no, two tables.

The children in the family grow up year by year, a table can no longer sit down, there are 9 adults, and the children have been upgraded to 9 this year.

Especially Ye Yaodong, this year, he has both people and money.

The children sat at the table, and before they had eaten for a while, they shouted that they were full, but after they got off the table, no one was willing to leave, and they all stood in the small hall and waited with hippie smiles, for fear of missing out on the New Year's money.

When Grandpa and Grandma's New Year's money hasn't been given yet, how can they leave, in case they leave, it's gone? Or was it confiscated by his wife? That's more than worth the loss,

None of the adults present could see their careful thoughts, and they all knew that they were looking forward to getting the New Year's money after the meal.

The two tables in the hall are almost occupying the entire space, and there are so many people, Ye Mu also wants them to get out and play early.

He beckoned to them and took out the red envelopes in his pockets and handed them them.

"One for each person, there is a piece of one in it, a dime for yourself, a dollar for your mother to put away, and let her post a little for you to take to study and sign up after the year."

They have a local saying that red envelopes like to be out, not whole numbers.

Several children were originally very happy that Grandma gave a large amount of money this year, and they used to give 5 cents, but they didn't expect it to be given to them to sign up.

Ye's mother also went to class for a few months this year, and it took several months of salary before she started to spend a lot of money, planning to subsidize her three sons and reduce the burden of their children's schooling.

After she joined the Women's Federation, she also recognized a few words, and more clearly recognized how important reading is, and hoped that the children in the family could study hard and not give up halfway.

That's it, too sleepy
