This year, because Silly Zhu married his daughter-in-law, the deaf old lady did not come to Yi Zhonghai's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but accepted Silly Zhu's invitation and chose to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Silly Zhu's house.

Hearing that the deaf old lady went to Silly Zhu's house, Li Ping'an sighed in his heart, in the old lady's heart, it was her good grandson Silly Zhu, it seems that this old lady is ready to leave the house in the backyard to Silly Zhu, and now she has begun to slowly clear up the relationship with Yi Zhonghai's family.

That house doesn't matter to Li Ping'an, after it is reopened, what kind of house you want is not available, a room doesn't matter to you, it's just a pity that an aunt has worked hard to take care of the deaf old lady for so many years, and in the end she didn't get anything, and she worked in vain.

Yi Zhonghai obviously thought of this layer, and his heart was not very comfortable, but because today was the Chinese New Year's Eve, he couldn't have a seizure if he was angry, so he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart, squeezed a smile on his face, and ate the reunion dinner with his family.

This year's reunion dinner was indeed richly prepared, and the family didn't eat much, Li Ping'an looked at the remaining dishes that almost didn't move chopsticks, and sighed in his heart, "This holiday of the Spring Festival, it is estimated that there are all these 16 dishes."

Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is said that there is a custom of keeping the year, naturally you can't sleep now, even if you can't sleep now, there is the sound of firecrackers everywhere outside, which makes Li Pingan's brain hurt.

Li Ping'an and his family stayed in Yi Zhonghai's house to keep the New Year, Yi Zhonghai turned out a deck of playing cards from there, and the family of four played poker.

The other families in the courtyard are basically the same situation, except for the children who go out to the street to set off guns, the adults stay at home and talk and chat with the family.

Because he got up a little early in the morning, Li Ping'an was still playing poker, his eyes couldn't open, and he finally stayed up until twelve o'clock, Li Ping'an went out and set off another firecracker, and said happy New Year to the stupid pillar next door who also came out to set off firecrackers, and after pulling Ding Qiunan and Yi Zhonghai and his wife to say goodbye, they hurriedly returned to the room to sleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Ping'an was woken up by Ding Qiunan.

"It's only six o'clock, it's not even seven o'clock, you call *** so early" Li Ping'an, who was sleeping in a daze, heard Ding Qiunan calling himself to get up, and said angrily when he got up, turned around and wrapped the quilt tightly again and turned over to sleep.

Ding Qiunan looked at the man who loved to sleep lazily, he was angry, he patted Li Ping'an angrily, and said, "Hurry up, someone has already come to visit the New Year, and when relatives and friends come over, you are still lying on the bed, isn't that a joke?"

Hearing Ding Qiunan say this, Li Ping'an reacted, Yi Zhonghai said last night that his apprentices and neighbors in the courtyard would come to pay New Year's greetings.

After thinking about it, the sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant, and one turned over and got up from the bed, took the new clothes handed over by Ding Qiunan, put them on quickly, and after a simple wash, he took out the prepared New Year's gifts, and took Ding Qiunan to Yi Zhonghai's room, and greeted the old couple first.

Before the start of the 64-year social education movement, the Spring Festival still continued the custom of kowtowing to parents and elders, after the social education movement, except for children, kowtowing to the New Year was changed to bowing to the New Year, but the time of bowing to the elders did not last long.

After the beginning of the special period, because of the fate of the Spring Festival, there will be no previous customs, and the first day of the New Year during the special period is not to worship the elders, but to hold up the "quotations", facing the portrait of the great man, the family sings "The sea sails by the helmsman" and other quotations or songs, and finally wishes the great leader a long life.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai and his wife had already cleaned up, and a plate was placed on the dining table, which was full of peanuts and melon seeds and other snacks, and the old couple sat on the Taishi chair in the hall, waiting for Li Ping'an and his wife to come in to pay New Year's greetings with solemn expressions.

"Comrade uncle, comrade aunt, happy Spring Festival" As soon as he entered the house, the first thing Li Ping'an did was to lead Ding Qiunan to bow to the old couple and say New Year's greetings.

Seeing Li Ping'an's old mouth greeting himself, Yi Zhonghai's tears came out, an aunt wiped her tears with her hands, and the old couple smiled and hurriedly took out the red envelopes prepared in advance from the pockets of their new clothes, and handed them over with a smile.

For the New Year's red envelope, Li Ping'an did not refuse

reason, happily accepted two big red envelopes, and then respectfully sent the prepared New Year's gifts.

The New Year's gift is very simple, in addition to the necessary pastries, there is also a New Year's picture of a great leader, everything is a gift advocated by the street, so that people can't find the slightest fault.

Yi Zhonghai stood up respectfully, took Li Ping'an's New Year's gift with both hands, put the pastries aside, respectfully unfolded the portrait, and carefully pasted the portrait on the wall of the hall.

After finishing everything, the family stood in the hall facing the portrait, bowed deeply, and sent the most sincere Spring Festival blessings to the great man.

This set of processes has come down, and this New Year's greeting is over.

Of course, this is the process of family New Year's greetings, outside neighbors, or relatives come to pay New Year's greetings, there are not so many rules, no need to bring any gifts, as long as people come over.

"Ping'an, Qiu Nan, the dumplings are cooked, go eat the dumplings, and after the neighbors in the courtyard come to pay New Year's greetings, this dumpling will not be edible" After the New Year's greeting, an aunt hurriedly urged Li Ping'an to eat dumplings.

Now there are neighbors in the courtyard who have started to walk around each other, and if they come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, people will see that you are eating dumplings, which is really inappropriate.

When the little couple came back from eating dumplings in the kitchen, there were already neighbors who came to greet Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Li Ping'an and the visitors said "Happy New Year" to each other, the neighbors sat down for a while, ate some peanuts and melon seeds, and then said goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and went to the next family to pay New Year's greetings.

The family's New Year's greetings seemed to send a signal, and after the family left, Yi Zhonghai's family began to have an endless stream of people coming to visit the New Year, and the peanuts and melon seeds on the table were added three times, that is, Yi Zhonghai's family had a big business, or people came to visit the New Year, and the peanuts and melon seeds would not be supplied.

People who come to pay New Year's greetings know the rules very well, all of them did not bring their children over, and now the days are difficult, some people are rich and can give the New Year's money, and some people are poor, and this New Year's money is really not available.

With this in mind, the neighbors in the courtyard for New Year's greetings tacitly chose to let their children go out to play and not take their children out to pay New Year's greetings, so that there would be no additional expenditure of New Year's money.

Like in the TV series, the stupid pillar instigated the three brothers and sisters to go to the New Year's Day to press the New Year's money, this is a very hateful behavior, everyone in the courtyard is poor, you are a neighbor's child, who is not a relative or a neighbor, came over to press the New Year's money, and gave it to your child, what about the other children in the hospital?

Moreover, the New Year's money is about coming and going, how much New Year's money I gave your child, you also have to pay back the same amount, good guy, stupid pillar This guy is a meat bun and a dog, there is no return, and it is strange that people are not angry.

Therefore, in the TV series, Yi Zhonghai threw his sleeves away angrily, too lazy to say a word to the stupid pillar.

Leaving Yi Zhonghai and his family at home to entertain the neighbors who greeted the New Year, Li Ping'an took Ding Qiunan out and began to pay New Year's greetings door-to-door.

After the neighbors in the courtyard were transferred, Li Ping'an went home and pushed out the bicycle, took out the prepared gifts, said hello to Yi Zhonghai, and took Ding Qiunan out of the courtyard and went elsewhere to pay New Year's greetings.

I won't talk about some colleagues who are going to pay New Year's greetings this year, such as Chen Youfu, Li Huaide, and Wang Yangzhi, these three must go to their homes, and if they don't go, they are ignorant.

Walking out of the alley, whenever he meets an acquaintance, Li Ping'an will stop his bicycle and say good New Year to each other.

Stopping all the way, I finally ended today's New Year's greeting work before the morning, Chen Youfu, Li Huaide, Wang Yangzhi, these three can be called high-powered, there are really a lot of people who go to people's homes to pay New Year's greetings today, Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan went over, and they didn't say a word, simply said a few auspicious words, left a gift, and left.

The last one is at Mr. Wang's house, when Li Ping'an went to pay New Year's greetings today, in addition to several senior brothers' families, he also met Mr. Wang's son's family who worked in other places.

Mr. Wang's son is engaged in research work in a confidential unit in other places, and his work is very busy, sometimes he can't go home once a year.

Originally, Li Ping'an was going to stay at Mr. Wang's house at noon today and accompany Mr. Wang and his wife to have lunch

But since the son of the other family is back, Li Ping'an did not disturb the rare reunion of Mr. Wang's family, politely declined Mr. Wang's invitation to stay for dinner at noon, and left Mr. Wang's house with several senior brothers.

Back in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were eating last night's leftovers, and when they saw Li Ping'an coming back, they asked with some curiosity, "Why did you two come back?" Didn't you say you were going to eat at your teacher's house at noon?"

"My teacher and his son came back last night, so I won't disturb the reunion at noon, so I'll come back with Qiu Nan" took a steamed bun and answered Yi Zhonghai's question while eating.

Hearing Li Ping'an say this, Yi Zhonghai nodded and expressed his understanding: "You did the right thing, it's this reason, people finally came back, it's really inappropriate to disturb other people's reunions" Saying this, Yi Zhonghai paused, and then said again: "Don't forget to go back in the afternoon to burn paper for your father and grandfather, this matter can't be forgotten."

"How can I forget this, I just talked to Qiu Nan about this on the way back, the journey is a little far, I will set off after dinner, and I should be able to arrive in the evening."

Lijia Village is indeed a little far away from Sijiu City, and it is okay to drive, but it is impossible to reach it in five hours if you ride a bicycle. The little jeep in the factory really can't be driven out during the Chinese New Year, and there is no other way than to pedal a bicycle.

After eating at noon, Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan packed up the things they used to go to the grave, said goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and rode a bicycle to Li Ping'an's hometown.

Fortunately, the bus did not stop running today, Li Ping'an can take the bus to the suburbs and then ride a bicycle, if you ride all the way to Lijia Village, then Li Ping'an's legs will not be wanted.

Getting off the bus from the suburban terminal, Li Ping'an rode with Ding Qiunan and panted along the dirt road in the direction of Lijia Village.

After about three hours of riding, I finally arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village before dark.

Li Ping'an did not choose to go home directly, but rode a bicycle to the third uncle Li Shanhe's house, when the rabbit was collected, Li Ping'an and the third uncle said that they would go home to the grave on the first day of the new year, Li Shanhe prepared dinner for Li Ping'an, first go over to the third grandfather and three grandmothers to pay a New Year's greeting.

At this time, it was the meal, the smell of rabbit meat was wafting all over the village, and after riding a bicycle for an afternoon, Li Ping'an was already hungry with his chest against his back, and his saliva was about to flow out when he smelled the meat.

When I came to Li Shanhe's house, Li Shanhe's family was busy preparing for tonight, since the people of Lijia Village began to sell rabbits, the life in the village was much better than in previous years, and each family had at least an additional income of ten or twenty yuan a year, which was not a small amount of money for rural people, and those with less labor at home were about to catch up with the previous year's income.

"Third uncle and third aunt, happy New Year" The door of the courtyard at home was not closed, and Li Ping'an was not polite, and walked in directly with his bicycle.

Li Shanhe, who was busy, heard his nephew's voice, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw his nephew and niece-in-law, he hurriedly put down the guy in his hand and greeted him very happily: "The eldest nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law are back, this bike is back and tired, hurry up, go into the house and sit."

"The third grandfather and the third grandmother are in the house, right? I'll go over and kowtow" Li Ping'an parked his bicycle, took down the gift hanging on the car, and asked Li Shanhe.

Li Shanhe hurriedly took the bag from Li Ping'an's hand, led Li Ping'an to the back room, and said with a smile as he walked, "Here, your third grandfather and third grandmother were still talking about when you will come back."

After entering the house, Li Ping'an's original grandfather's younger brother, that is, Li Ping'an's third grandfather and his wife, were wearing new clothes at this time, standing by the window and looking out to see who was coming.

"Third master, third grandmother, happy New Year, I wish you two elders a long life and a hundred years old, no disasters and no pain" After Li Ping'an entered the house, he was not ambiguous, and directly took Ding Qiunan to kneel down and kowtow three times in a proper manner.

It is said that kowtowing is not allowed now, but it is in the city, and it is not yet a special period, and the rural areas are not strict in grasping this, especially the grandchildren's kowtow to their grandfathers, and no one cares.

Besides, the older generation of people don't recognize your bow, if you really bow to the New Year, don't kowtow, maybe the big crutch will come to you.

The third grandfather and the third grandmother saw that it was Li Ping'an and his family who came back, smiled and couldn't close their mouths, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Li Ping'an's little two, took out the prepared red and white from his arms, and handed it to Ding Qiunan.

Looking at the red envelope handed over, Ding Qiunan didn't know whether to take it or not, and turned his head to look at Li Ping'an.

"Next, the new daughter-in-law has red envelopes for the first New Year, and there will be no such treatment next year," Li Ping'an looked at Ding Qiunan and said with a smile.
