"Happy New Year, big brother!"

"Big brother, get up quickly."

"Big brother, bring the red envelope."

New Year's Day.

At dawn in the morning, there was a knock on Yang Jun's door.

Yang Jun was annoyed in his heart.

Yesterday I said that I was not allowed to call him until ten o'clock.

It was not yet seven o'clock before he called him, and it was strange that he could be happy.

I tossed around with someone last night for most of the night, and I didn't fall asleep until 1 a.m., and now I'm angry when I wake up.

Yi Qiushui squinted his eyes and pouted,

"Husband, get up quickly, or I won't be able to sleep later."

Yang Jun listened, one head and two big.

He can see that his younger brothers and sisters are looking for trouble and deliberately tossing him.

"Okay, okay, can't I get up?"

Yang Jun had no choice but to get dressed and get up.

After getting dressed, I went out with a wad of money.

"What's the hell screaming? One by one, they are peeled."

Yang Jun opened the door of the living room and said with a look of resentment.

"Big brother, happy new year, bring the red envelope."

Yang Mei took her younger brothers and sisters in a row and greeted him in unison.

Seeing this, Yang Jun squinted and smiled.

"Let's go, follow me to the kitchen."

You don't want me to sleep lazy, and I don't want to get the red envelope so easily.

There was a stove in the kitchen which was very warm.

Wang Yuying sat alone in front of the board and made dumplings.

People here don't have the habit of making dumplings in the middle of the night, saying that the dumplings overnight are not fresh.

Therefore, dumplings are basically made on the morning of the first day of the new year.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Yang Jun took a chair, sat down with a big thorn, and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Come on!"

Yangmei and the others looked at each other, all pouting, and rolled their eyes at him.

"Big brother, you don't want us to kowtow to you for the New Year, do you?"

"What? I'm not worthy of you to kowtow?"

Yang Jun's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Eldest brother is like a father, this head is for me to enjoy for our father, hurry up."

Except for Yangmei, who showed an embarrassed look, the others were fine.

Especially Yang Lao Si and Yang Lao Wu, I wish I could kowtow to him immediately now.

At this time, Wang Yuying, who was making dumplings, interjected,

"Your eldest brother is right, he can afford this head, your father is gone, if it weren't for your eldest brother, would you be able to live such a comfortable life?"

"Meizi, you don't need to talk about it, if you don't have your brother, you are still picking a sledgehammer in the workshop, what about Liu'er, you are also a glorious people's soldier now, Yu'er needless to say, not to mention that Bai gets a salary in the grain store, your eldest brother also specially asked you to ask a tutor to teach you to study, and Huai'er, what do you want, the old man of the former landlord's family is not as comfortable as him in 7."

"So, your eldest brother can afford this head."

After Wang Yuying finished speaking, she heard Yang Mei mutter, "I am now sent to the grain store by him."

"Huh?"

Wang Yuying's eyes widened, and Yang Meizhi couldn't help but take a step back.

"Rub it off, kowtow quickly."

With Wang Yuying's loud shout, Yang Mei was so frightened that she took the lead and knelt on the ground.

Kowtowed respectfully.

"Happy New Year, big brother." ….

Seeing this, Yang Jun had a smile on his face.

He took twenty dollars out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"Meizi, Happy New Year."

"Thank you, brother."

Yang Mei took the money, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, you are too picky, our mother gives twenty yuan for the New Year's money, you can't be less than your mother, right?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he glanced back at Wang Yuying.

Wang Yuying nodded slightly.

"Mom, the sun is coming out in the west?"

In previous years, Wang Yuying gave them New Year's money, at most one or two yuan, but now it's good, and he will give twenty as soon as he makes a move, doesn't this make him unable to come to the stage as a big brother?

"What are you talking about, what am I keeping the money for, I won't have to give it to you in the future." Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and said.

Hearing this, Yang Jun shook his head with a wry smile.

"Okay, ten more per person."

"Big brother, for the New Year, good things come in pairs, add twenty per person." Yangliu Road.

Yang Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Now these younger siblings have joined forces to bully him.

Especially Yang Liu and Yangmei, they have long been dissatisfied with themselves, and they took advantage of the Chinese New Year to slaughter him fiercely.

"Okay, as you wish, your eldest brother lacks everything, but he is not short of money."

Yang Jun took out a wad of money and gave forty each.

Even Liu Zhi and Liu Lanqing have it.

After the Yangmei and their worship, Yang Jun got up and respectfully kowtowed to Wang Yuying three times.

"Mom, Happy New Year."

Wang Yuying didn't even raise her head, wrapped dumplings in her hand, but said in her mouth,

"I received my heart, but I didn't have the red envelope, and besides, go back and make up for the New Year's money I gave to your younger brothers and sisters."

When Yang Jun heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Mom, there's no such thing as you."

For the New Year, kowtow without a red envelope, and let him make up the money, where to reason.

"Hmph, you can be content, they haven't kowtowed to me yet."

Wang Yuying complained.

When Yang Jun heard this, his heart suddenly became much more balanced.

"Yes, I'll make up for it when I go back."

Later, the family began to wash their hands and help make a piece of dumplings.

There is a lot of strength in people, and in less than half an hour, the dumplings are wrapped.

Then it's time to start cooking the dumplings.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Jun went back to the room and asked Yi Qiushui to get up.

Then, he took the fourth and fifth children and began to worship God.

The ritual of worshipping the heavens is also very simple, that is, to set up a table of eight immortals outside the living room of your house.

With five-colored fruits on top, and a few bowls filled with cereals, begging God to ensure that the family has enough food and clothing for the coming year.

Then burn three incense sticks, burn fire paper, kowtow three heads, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is completed.

Of course, before eating dumplings, firecrackers are also set off.

Yang Jun placed a thousand firecrackers on the road in front of his house, took out matches and prepared to set off the cannons.

"Big brother, let me come."

Yang Laosi jumped out from behind him, took a stick of incense and went to light a cannon battle.

"Be careful......

Before he could finish speaking, the crackling firecrackers rang out.

Yang Jun hurriedly took Yang Huai, who was about to step forward to join in the fun, in his arms and ran home.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that Yang Laosi went home one step ahead of him.

Seeing this, Yang Jun nodded at her with his hand.

"What firecrackers do you set off in a girl's house?" ….

Looking at her skillful movements, it is estimated that there are usually firecrackers.

"Humph! I want you to take care of it."

Yang Laosi rolled his eyes, and before Yang Jun could get angry, he disappeared without a trace.

"Old Five, don't learn from your fourth sister's crazy girl, do you know that setting off firecrackers is dangerous?"

The fifth Yang Huaigen didn't know what danger was, so he thought it was fun to set off firecrackers.

At this time, because there were no firecrackers, he had an unhappy expression on his face, and pouted,

"Got it, big brother."

Yang Jun didn't care if he was happy or not, and directly hugged him back to eat dumplings.

Dumplings come in two fillings, one with pork and green onions, and the other with leek and egg.

Leeks were taken out when he sent Mu Sheng to the wedding banquet a few years ago.

Dumplings dipped in garlic are a perfect match, one bite at a time,

Sensei is fragrant.

After breakfast, the family gathered around to play cards.

It's the kind of gambling that plays 'go fast, a dime a piece.'

It was rare for the family to be so happy, so Yang Jun deliberately lost a lot of money and coaxed several younger brothers and sisters to make the thieves happy.

Subsequently, Yang Lao Wu couldn't sit still.

The little guy took his fourth sister out to set off firecrackers, and Yang Jun couldn't rest assured, so he went out with him.

This era is much more lively than later generations, and the flavor of the year is also stronger, adults and children all have smiles on their faces, and they say hello when they meet.

The children have New Year's money, and they all buy firecrackers and set off firecrackers to play.

The girl is fine, set off a firecracker and listen to it.

Boys are much more naughty, looking at crowded places, and throwing firecrackers on the crowd while people are not paying attention, scaring people and screaming.

There are also children who throw firecrackers directly into the public toilet, causing adults to chase them everywhere with their pants before they finish solving the problem.

Although Yang Laosi was naughty, he was quite obedient and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

This girl is a brother demon, and when she plays by herself, she doesn't forget to take Yang Huai with her.

Today's weather is very good, the temperature is also high, standing in the sun, the whole body is warm.

Yang Jun wrapped his military coat, and then squatted at the base of the wall in front of his house, smoking a cigarette gracefully.

There are not a few people like him, and everyone is lined up under the wall to swing the dragon gate array.

Yang Jun didn't know his neighbors, and he didn't bother to join in the fun, so he sat there alone with his eyes half-squinted and basking in the sun.

Not to mention, it's quite a pleasant day.

I don't know how long later, just as he was about to fall asleep, he felt a sudden movement around him, and it seemed that someone was sitting down

Yang Jun opened his eyes and saw an old man who was almost seventy squatting beside him.

This person Yang Jun has seen and lives in this alley, and he lives in the third house next door to his house.

"Happy New Year, old man!"

Yang Jun moved his body and took the initiative to greet him.

"Happy New Year, young man."

The old man greeted him with a smile.

After he sat down, Yang Jun took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

The old man politely took it and clipped it to his ear.

Then he pulled out a cigarette holder from his waist and gestured.

"I'll smoke this."

Yang Jun was stunned.

I didn't expect people in the city to smoke pots.

This kind of smoke pot is not a long cigarette stick made of bamboo, as in the countryside, but a cigarette holder carved from a piece of jade, which is only the length of a palm.

Yang Jun glanced at his cigarette holder carefully.

At a glance, it can be seen that this cigarette holder is very valuable.

The cigarette holder has turned dark brown, and if you don't pay attention, you really can't tell that it is made of jade.

Yang Jun was shocked, he didn't expect this old man to have a lot of taste, and at first glance, his ancestors were the kind of big families that were either rich or expensive.

However, after thinking about it, he was also relieved.

Sijiu City was originally the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties, and the streets were full of dignitaries and nobles, and the people here all liked to play, and it was not surprising to have a jade cigarette holder.

"Old man, is there something wrong with you?"

After the old man lit the fire, Yang Jun asked.

It can be seen that this old man has something to do with him.

Otherwise, no one would chat with strangers for no reason.

When the old man heard this, he nodded slightly, with an expression of appreciation on his face, squinted and said,

"Do you still want to take the house?"

。.
