Chapter 624: New Year
Ye Yaodong smiled helplessly and shook his head, put the money into her arms and stood up, "Don't toss, go back to the house and sleep, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year Now, if you can't sleep for a few hours, every household will have to set off firecrackers again." ”
The old lady was also very persistent, so she pulled his clothes and didn't let him go, insisting on stuffing the bag of money into his pocket, "You take it, otherwise I won't be at ease when I sleep, and it will be regarded as New Year's money for you." Anyway, you want to provide for me for the elderly, I will eat yours, drink yours, live yours, and spend yours, if you don't take it, I will move back to my hometown tomorrow and eat your father's. ”
Ye Yaodong really couldn't cry or laugh, the sensationalism just now had been shirked back and forth and defeated.
Before he could take it out and return it, the old lady immediately hurried to the house with her legs and feet.
After entering the house, he waved his hand at him before closing the door, "Hurry back to the house and sleep, it's late." ”
"You know it's late, and you'll have to wait until then."
She smiled hehehe, "Go back to the house, go back to the house, remember to keep a little for yourself, don't hand it all in." ”
Seeing that he took out the red paper bag in his pocket again, the old lady hurriedly closed the door.
Ye Yaodong smiled helplessly, and weighed the banknotes wrapped in red paper in his hand, which were not very heavy, but they were heavy in his heart.
The old man can't save much money, and the money saved is either saved when he was young, or he is honored by his children, and it is estimated that it is still more than 200 yuan, which should be about the same as the money given to him when he was dying in his previous life.
He looked at it, then clutched it tightly in his hand and walked into the house.
Ah Qing was also half asleep at this time, he didn't come back, how could she sleep peacefully.
When she heard the door creak open, she woke up, propped herself up on the bed, sat up against the head of the bed, and glanced at the watch next to the pillow.
"It's back! What's in your hand? ”
Ye Yaodong stretched out the money he was holding in his hand to her and showed her it.
"The old lady gave me the New Year's money!"
"Huh? Money given to children as a gift during lunar New Year? ”
"Well, I didn't expect to receive both the old man's New Year's money and the old lady's New Year's money this year, and it's really a bumper year, and the fortune is quite prosperous."
Lin Xiuqing was also very unruly about his hippie smiling face's nonsense.
"Can't you just be serious?"
"Where am I not serious? I call it humor, it's called fun, do you understand? Most people aren't as interesting as I am. ”
"You're humorous, you're a ghost, I haven't heard you say a few words seriously, and I can talk nonsense when I ask you questions."
Ye Yaodong handed the bag of money to her front leg through the gap between the railings next to the bed, "No nonsense, the fact is what I said, this is really the New Year's money that the old lady gave me, but the money at the bottom of her box is basically here, and it is all given to me." ”
Lin Xiuqing's mouth opened in surprise, "Why is it so generous this year?" Just give a few small New Year's money, and give you all the money? Her mental state looks okay now, much better than at the end of last year, it should be no problem to eat for a few more years, right? Why did you give you the money so early and plan to get up early? ”
"Alas~ She thinks that I am seeing a lot of money this year, and the little money she has saved in her hand is of little use to me, so she generously wrapped up New Year's money for a few children."
"I also think about giving it to me now, it can still be useful, and it can come in handy, so I want to give it to me early, anyway, she is old, she can't work, and she won't be able to save much money in the future, it's the same if you give it early and give it late, and you can help me if you give it early."
Ye Yaodong sat on the chair with his feet crossed, one hand propped up on the table, his heart was full of the old lady's words, and he didn't want to go to bed for a while, he just wanted to talk to people and share the complicated feelings in his heart.
Lin Xiuqing also looked at him with a complicated expression, "You are really your grandma's sweetheart!" ”
Ye Yaodong: "......"
He didn't want to hear what the heart and soul were saying.
"And then the old lady gave it to you, and you took it?"
"I can't push it off, and I'm not bad for her coffin book. The older this person gets, the more stubborn she becomes, saying that if I don't accept it, she will move back to her hometown tomorrow to eat my father's food, and she won't eat mine. ”
"It's okay, then take it, it's all yours sooner or later anyway."
"Her red paper package is so good, don't open it, don't touch it, just put it in a drawer and lock it up."
"Hmm."
Lin Xiuqing also got up from the bed and took the key to unlock it.
Ye Yaodong grabbed her waist and let her sit on his lap, "I'll put the money away, what are you doing?" ”
"Hug you, do you think the old lady thinks her time is running out, so she gave me the money in advance? I heard that some elderly people will feel it when the deadline is approaching. ”
Thinking about this, he was a little uncomfortable, but don't really the end is coming!
Originally, the old lady could only live until 1985 in her last life, and it has been 84 years since the New Year, and when the lobby brother was arrested and sentenced last year, the old lady fell ill and lay on the bed for several days.
Lin Xiuqing originally thought that he was moving again, but he didn't expect that he would just hold her and talk, and he didn't struggle.
"No, seeing that she has been full of red face, happy every day, watering and weeding, sowing and harvesting, and feeding chickens and ducks, looking so flexible, where is it fast? It should be that she thinks about your income, and she doesn't expect some money in her hand, so she doesn't have to save it for you. ”
"That's right, then let her water every day and feed the chickens, at least it's better than lying on the bed and not moving, looking comfortable."
She laughed, and after unlocking the money, she put the key in the jar first, moved her ass, and turned her head to look at him.
"Receiving such a large amount of New Year's money, it seems that you are not very happy."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Is Lao Tzu the one who is missing this amount of money?" ”
Lin Xiuqing flicked his forehead, "The tone is so big!" That's what you used to do. ”
"Don't mention the past, it's been many years, and I love to turn it out all day long."
"How many years? How many years do you think it's been over? ”
"These three children have been born, and they can run away this year, so don't keep turning them out."
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I said there was nothing wrong with this year.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiuqing slapped his moving hand.
"I didn't do anything, I just touched your conscience for you, and you asked yourself, am I getting more and more interested? I am a good grandson, a good son, a good father, and a good husband! ”
How did he take such shameless words and shameless actions for granted?
"It's so late, it's already one o'clock, and the New Year's cannon is over......" Lin Xiuqing said very quietly in the latter sentence, and he was very embarrassed.
Ye Yaodong also buried her neck and smiled, feeling that she was a little damaged by him.
"This New Year's Eve cannon has already passed, isn't there a New Year's cannon?"
Lin Xiuqing: "......"
She bit her lower lip, where did he get so many new terms?
"And what cannons?"
Ye Yaodong was kissing when he heard this, and his shoulders shook with laughter.
"You can have whatever cannon you want, open the door cannon, close the door cannon, cannon, cupola cannon, now let's start the first cannon of the new year......
Lin Xiuqing slapped him on the shoulder with a smile, and also felt very funny, "I didn't see you understand serious things, this mess, you know everything." ”
"Average, third in the village!"
"Who's the first, the second?"
"Maybe it's an old rascal in the village?"
"You too!"
"I'm not old, I'm still a strong guy!"
"Don't make a fuss, go to bed......"
"Right here, the bed creaks, it's so annoying, when I have money, I'll change to Simmons!"
"Will ...... cold"
"It's not cold when you move......"
The cold wind was whistling outside, the windows were blown by the wind from time to time, and the figures reflected in the windows were also shaking, and the interior was in full swing, polarizing inside and outside.
The weather on the first day of the Lunar New Year is extraordinarily powerful, the sun is shining early in the morning, although the north wind is still howling, but it can't blow away the bright smiles on people's faces, everyone is happy to put on new clothes, walk back and forth in the village, and the first thing to say is Happy New Year!
Ye Yaodong also got up early to set off firecrackers and incense the stove mother.
The children happily put on new clothes and ran around the door, and early in the morning, their pockets were full of firecrackers, and even if they put on new clothes, it didn't stop them from picking up firecrackers!
Anyway, if you are in the New Year, you can't beat your children, and you can't scold your children!
Lin Xiuqing stood at the door and shouted several times: "It's time to eat!" ”
One by one, the play is rising, and the wind in the ears is not heard.
It wasn't until she stepped forward and pinched their ears that the two boys obediently followed home, and Ye Chenghu still chattered as he walked, "If you are a big Chinese New Year, you can't beat the child......"
Lin Xiuqing looked down at their already black knees, her hands were already a little itchy, and she felt that she would have to break her vows if she couldn't survive the first few days of the first month.
Ye Chenghu also felt his mother's gaze, looked down, and then pulled Ye Chengyang to run into the house with great brotherly affection.
"Why are you running like this? Come on, come on, have breakfast. The old lady greeted them with a smile in the room, and sat down quickly.
"Hey, eat fried sweet potato powder in the morning?"
"It's not sweet potato vermicelli, it's shark fin. The long ones are a bit like sweet potato vermicelli. The old lady explained, and divided them into one and a half, Ye Chenghu was bigger, a little more.
The bowl of shark fin in front of the two brothers took Ye Yaodong several days to make, and he deliberately left it at home yesterday and did not bring it to the old house.
Just a small portion, so many people, who is enough to eat? One person didn't have a chopstick, and the old lady also said that she fried it this morning for the two children to eat for breakfast.
"This is your father's hard work to make it, it is a few pieces of the fins of the big shark a few days ago, to make such a little, the outside is expensive, he is reluctant to eat, all for you to eat, you eat quickly."
"Wow, Dad, can I bring it to the door and eat?"
