Chapter 149: Visiting Relatives and Friends (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendations)

Celebrating the New Year in the capital is destined to be unable to move around many relatives.

After all, he is not a native of Beijing, and the distance limits the exchange of family affection.

Chen Mingliang has no other good place to go except to meet a few coaches and teachers. Those leaders who are not familiar with them, those business owners, just make a phone call to maintain a relationship, just for profit, it is impossible to be a real friend.

Ren Jing and her family of four theoretically have nowhere to go, Ren Jing's only classmate in Beijing, the relationship is still stiff, and the rest of them have already gone home for the New Year.

In fact

Ren Jing really has a relative in the capital who is hidden in her family, he is Ren's father's uncle, and he is his own uncle.

The two have not been in contact for more than ten years. Mainly because I turned my face during the Chinese New Year. Speaking of which, the reason for turning his face is still because of Ren Jing.

Ren Jing's grandfather and brothers are both rural landlords, not traditional city people.

Dongshan is located in a war-torn place, and landlords are no more difficult than civilian lives.

The old father died before the founding of the country, because the title deed was still there, and Ren Jing's grandfather recovered a lot of his land after the founding of the country, and then three or five years later, he was rated as a landlord again.

The second grandfather had good luck when he was young, and when he was studying, Chuanxiang went to Beijing to dig dung and became a glorious Beijinger.

Being a worker in the capital is definitely different, and even the ideology is higher than that of Yunyang people.

Ren Jing's grandfather has no interest, he has been farming at home, and he still wants to restore the glory of his ancestors, and there is an old lady at home who is considered a grandmother. This old lady was born a landlord and married a landlord, and the high composition is scary.

Ren Jing's grandfather and father both suffered a lot in sports.

The second grandfather drew a clear line with the family at the beginning, and only resumed contact after the exercise ended, after all, there was still an old mother at home.

Of course, the main purpose of interacting with my family is to show that I am from the capital and you are from Dongshan.

If you don't return to your hometown, how can you walk at night? , Night Stalker was to pull night incense in ancient times, this is Ren Er's job, and he can't mention it.

Because the old lady is still alive, Ren Jing is one and a half years old this year. The two families spend the New Year in the same country, do the brothers live in the same yard and sleep in different rooms.

At that time, Ren's father had graduated from junior college and was assigned to work in Yunyang County, and married Ren's mother.

Ren's mother is a person with a low level of education but a kind heart and a good family, shrewd and capable, but she will not suffer, and she is not the kind of person who knocks out her teeth and swallows it in her stomach, otherwise she can't cure the handsome Ren's father.

They didn't have contraception back then, so they naturally had Ren Jing in the second year of their marriage, and it happened in the third year of their marriage.

That day was the New Year, that is, the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Northern tradition, on this day, the king of the stove should be sent to heaven.

Although the second grandfather did not live in Dongshan permanently, he still bought a new stove prince and prepared to burn him to report back to heaven from him.

The second grandfather and the second grandmother placed a few delicate fruit plates on the table in the courtyard, which is a bit of a-for-tat with Ren Jing's grandfather's family, that is, my stove king eats better than your stove king, and they will say some good things to bless us to be rich and prosperous for a long time.

Because it is the elders who are handling these things, Jing's mother's task is to take care of this lovely child.

She walked back and forth with her child in her arms, which can be regarded as a strange sight, to see what is the difference between the people of the capital and the people of Dongshan.

The second grandfather and their family prepared a little more exquisitely, but the procedures were the same.

One of them is relatively rare, it is a honey horn fruit brought from the capital, which looks very attractive.

Children, when they see something delicious, they want it, so Ren's mother took one and handed it to Ren Jing to play.

No one took this seriously.

According to the customs of Dongshan, after worshipping the king of the stove, the snacks are distributed to the children.

As a result, after the ceremony, I didn't expect the second grandfather to be so careful, he had to take back all the fruit plates, and count them one by one, and then there was a problem.

"When I put it in the fruit bowl, there were obviously 12 honey horns, but now there are 11 of them, or I am a rural person, my hands and feet are not clean, and I eat things that should not be taken, and the whole family will not die well."

Of course Jing's mother is not happy,

"I just got something for the children, what a big deal, just a dumpling made of sugar, and the whole family died. It's not bad to die the whole family, isn't it quiet, his second grandfather and two grandmothers will also die together. ”

"You vicious native woman, you should have let my eldest nephew divorce you a long time ago"

"Oh, the excrement workers in the capital have also taken out the essence, and the dung kiln at home is still waiting for you to perform, do you want to go in and take a bath and come out, we are soil, but we don't stink!"

In the eyes of rural people, digging dung is really not a glorious thing.

The two families parted unhappily and never interacted again.

This year, Ren Jing and her family celebrated the New Year in Beijing. Grandpa Ren Jing specially explained, go to his brother to have a look. Since the death of my mother, my brother has not been back for a long time, you can see if he is okay.

The address and name are known, the steel mill dormitory, Ren Shidao, is now there to see the gate.

Someone from the same village who came to Beijing to work visited him and asked him if he needed anything to bring to his hometown, and he replied no.

Then Chen Mingliang and Ren Jing went to walk around and complete this task.

Neither Dad nor Mom Ren wanted to go.

However, the gift was bought by Ren Mom's insistence, and she paid for it. There are four large boxes of honey horns in the capital (honey horns are a sweet treat that looks a bit like dumplings). To be honest, it's not cheap, a box is quite heavy, it's all sugar, 35 catties weighed, 6 yuan 5 per catty, and it adds up to almost a thousand yuan.

Four boxes of honey horns can't fit one car, and two cars are a bit rich. Chen Mingliang said that after so many New Year's goods at home, is it necessary to decorate something else.

No, Jing's mother resolutely disagrees, if you buy it again, you can only buy honey horns, not steamed buns to steam your breath.

Chen Mingliang is really not a good bird, and he bought a lot of gift boxes at the entrance of the market. It was full of honey horns, and it was not until the trunks of the two cars were full, and then I reported the work to my mother-in-law, and then I officially set off.

When I arrived at the steel mill dormitory, I met the old man surnamed Ren.

Lao Ren is also a little handsome, which seems to be genetic. The Beijing dialect is very good, there is no Dongshan accent, say a sentence and swallow half a sentence, and swallow the sound is an authentic Beijing person.

Old man Ren looked at the two Daben, and watched dumbfounded as the two people moved things to his guard room, a little unsure of what was wrong, after the things were moved, almost half of the room was filled.

Ren Jing was looking for words, but Chen Mingliang spoke.

"Hello Grandpa Ren, this is your eldest brother's granddaughter Ren Jing, it is because she ate one of your honey horns when she was a child to be so beautiful, she is now studying in the capital, in order to thank you, I specially bought some honey horns for you, I hope you have a happy new year, happiness lasts"

After saying that, the two of them got into the car and walked away.
