The custom on the first day of the Lunar New Year is to pay New Year's greetings.

In the past, it was the New Year's greeting at the house of relatives and friends, and now it is a New Year's greeting between neighbors in the courtyard.

This year, the three masters in the courtyard have already received a notice that there will be a street office, and the leaders of the neighborhood committee will take everyone to greet the New Year.

Wei Ping'an didn't expect that the first one to knock on the door to come to pay New Year's greetings turned out to be ......

"Damao, Xiao'e, have a good New Year."

When I opened the door, I saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

"Brother Wei, the two of us have New Year's greetings for you, I wish you all the best in the new year and a happy family."

"Thanks, come into the house......"

Xu Damao walked in with Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiao'e also turned her head to look at the two dogs lying on their stomachs at the door of the nest.

It's a red girl and auspicious.

Laifu has already gone to the small building.

It has long learned to climb stairs and even flush the toilet.

It is the alarm clock of the little master of the big treasure and is responsible for waking up with the tongue.

Only the wake up of the rifle will be exchanged for a giggle, not a cry of getting up.

It's really a god.

"Hey, Brother Wei, these dogs are really fat...... Uh, sturdy. ”

"Come on, don't say the next sentence, our family doesn't eat dog meat in our lives......"

"Brother Wei's dogs have spirituality, Dabao has been protecting them when he is playing outside, last time I saw Dabao almost fall down the steps, and the big dog bit the collar behind Dabao's clothes and dragged him back."

Lou Xiao'e said, her eyes were still full of envy.

Come on, I found another greedy "dog-colored" woman.

Oh, woman.

In the house, Zhou Wen also got up, Wei Ping'an and the two of them stood and talked at the door, shouted twice in the house, and Zhou Wen pushed the door open.

"Happy New Year, Sister Xiaowen."

"Happy New Year, Damao, you also have a good New Year, come into the house."

"It stands to reason that we shouldn't have come here so early, but the two of us will go home after a while, and it will be too late to come back on the fifth day of the new year, and as soon as the two of us are combined, we will come directly."

"Is the house all tidied up? Go directly to Damao's house, or will Ezi go home first? ”

"Uh, that ......"

"What are you embarrassed to say to Sister Xiaowen. Sister Xiaowen, this year I went back to celebrate the New Year with my parents, Xu Damao went to his house, I won't go. ”

"Huh? What's going on? The two of them quarreled at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, don't make a big New Year's trouble. Zhou Wen explained.

"It's not awkward, it's just that it's okay to go to his house, and it must be a child from the moment you enter the door...... I'm upset. ”

Lou Xiao'e said angrily.

"Old man, I'm looking forward to hugging my grandson, I've been with my son for many years, isn't this old man in a hurry......"

Xu Damao's explanation was weak, and when he said this, he glanced at Wei Ping'an from time to time.

Wei Ping'an knows his affairs best.

After all, it was the widow's door.

"You guys are going back to their respective homes, and then come back again on the fifth day of the new year, and they will be newlywed if they play a little bite?"

"Haha...... Not really. ”

"It's also good, occasionally separated for a few days, to promote the relationship between husband and wife, maybe come back for a few days, and the child will be pregnant."

"That's a good word from you, this festive word is the best thing I've heard this year......"

"No, it's only been a long time this year, and it's not even half of the day."

Lou Xiao'e habitually dismantled with her husband.

These two people are typical happy enemies, as the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, Wei Ping'an looked at the scene in front of him.

A dignified man, who returned to his parents' house on the first day of the New Year, said in front of outsiders that he didn't go to his house, which was boring......

It's not easy.

The later practice is quite complaining, and now Wei Ping'an seems that it is also the difference between antecedents and consequences.

It takes two to tango.

Don't blame anyone.

But the two of them came to pay New Year's greetings, and Wei Ping'an's relief explained that he did his best.

Even if he doesn't like this kind of flattering chat.

After sitting for a while and drinking only one brew of tea, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e got up to say goodbye.

When I got out of the north house, I heard Dabao's giggling laughter from the small building.

Obviously, Laifu is good at skills, and he coaxed the little master so quickly.

Xu Damao turned around, and Lou Xiao'e understood and walked to the small building.

She hadn't been here yet, but she was curious before.

Today is a chance to come in and have a look.

Pushing the door saw the furnishings, and also saw Wei Dabao.

I'm sitting on the ground and playing with my dog's head.

"Aunt Xiao'e."

Dabao's mouth is sweet and he shouts very crisply.

"Dabao, come here, happy New Year, Auntie will give you a big red envelope to press the New Year's money."

"Thank you, Auntie, you are so beautiful."

"This kid is really good at talking."

Wei Ping'an thought to himself, thinking in his heart: What kind of nonsense is the truth......

The two of them had already prepared for the New Year's money, and they had obviously made plans before they came.

After sending Xu Damao and his family away, Wei Ping'an exchanged the red envelope from Wei Dabao's hand.

It's six bucks.

This year, Qin Huairu's salary is 27.5 yuan, which is still because he inherited so much talent from Jia Dongxu's seniority.

Give the child a follower, and it will be six dollars as soon as you make a shot.

That's a big deal of a big deal.

You must know that Zhou Zimo only knocked 5 cents last night, and he almost jumped to his feet when he was happy.

This is still a calm child like a little adult.

Wei Dabao has no concept of money, and the red envelope was replaced by an unscrupulous father, a white rabbit, and he didn't make a fuss.

Hold the dog's head and play wrestling.

Outside the compound, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e pushed their bicycles out of the house, most of the big bags were brought home by Xu Damao, and Lou Xiao'e carried a dark blue canvas bag.

Xu Damao sent Lou Xiao'e to take the bus, and then rode back by himself.

When I went out, I saw that the three uncles were all around the front yard.

"What's the matter, a few masters, early in the morning, is there any group activity here?"

"Da Mao, what are you doing here?"

"Why don't you stay with my old man for a few days?"

"The street office took the lead in leading everyone to pay New Year's greetings to all households in the yard, you are leaving now, what happened to your house in a while?"

"I wish you a New Year's greeting to a few uncles, and I wish them good health and family happiness. Come on, let's go......"

Xu Damao shook his hand, pushed the cart and took Lou Xiao'e away.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

"Unorganized, undisciplined, the leaders are so busy, and they take the time to come to the big guy to pay a New Year's greeting, he is good, and he left directly...... Uncle one, you have to talk about this. ”

"Forget it, it's the New Year, when the leader comes, I'll tell them, I believe the leader will understand."

"First uncle, second uncle, have you ever thought about Wei Ping'an's family?"

Yan Bugui suddenly spoke.

"What do you want his family to do, people don't care about us, why should we be hot and cold...... So what. ”

The second uncle said.

"You can't say that, the contradictions in our compound, to be honest, are all old things, and the neighborhood committee of the neighborhood office is not unaware of the original matter, even if this matter can't be overturned...... People are leaders, can they be treated differently like us? ”

"That's right."

"In our yard, except for the deaf old lady in the backyard, Mrs. Zhang is the oldest, first to the old man, and then to the old man to pay New Year's greetings, and then to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings...... Mrs. Zhang's side, but she lives in Wei Ping'an's house, if she jumps over, she really can't say it. ”

Uncle Yi analyzed.

"So what do we do? One uncle, three masters, do you two have an idea? ”

In fact, the second uncle is not really without ink.

You know, there was a bowl of meat-filled dumplings on their table.

He also ate a small half plate, and the meat was really much, and the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became.

Therefore, among the three uncles, the bangs may not exclude Wei Ping'an the most.

There is no specific conflict, just follow the crowd.

Yan Bugui saw that people were developed and wanted to take the initiative to ease the relationship.

As for Yi Zhonghai...... That's more complicated.

I won't talk about it here.

"If you want me to say, in front of the leader, we can't treat it too differently, and I don't know which leader is here today, let's look at the specific situation, if you can mix it up, you can mix it up, and if you can't mix it, you can pay a New Year's greeting, follow the leader of the street office, it's not that we take the initiative to lick our faces, do you think it's so reasonable?"

Yan Bugui deserves to be an old master, and he finished talking endlessly.

In fact, it is just two words: worship.

Rory's.

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a moment: "Then let's stop by for a New Year." Depending on what people mean, let's go back and pull it back. ”

A young man dressed in a dark cotton coat walked in from outside the courtyard gate.

It's Officer Lee.

Well, it should be called Deputy Director Li now.

Li Weidong is also Wei Ping'an's old acquaintance.

The three masters were about to catch up, when they saw Deputy Director Li beckoning to them, and they retreated head-on.

The three masters followed to the gate of the courtyard, and saw Director Wang coming down next to the little jeep.

Hey, the first leader, the second in command come together to greet the New Year.

My own small courtyard is shining.

However, except for Yan Bugui, no one else could pull out the word.

As for Yan Bugui, he quickly calculated in his mind that the two directors came to pay New Year's greetings in person, and there must be something unusual in the hospital.

And the most unusual thing this year is that Wei Ping'an disappeared for 5 years and came back.

Yan Bugui has inferred from the disappearance of the son and daughter-in-law of the old Li Tou family that Wei Ping'an must have done something "big" when he "disappeared" in the past few years.

Two years ago, Director Wang also came to visit Lao Li Tou in person, and he also brought rice, flour, meat and oil like today.

"Three masters, help carry some too. Take a little bit of everyone evenly, let's go to the middle courtyard first, and pay a New Year's greeting to Master Wei's house. ”

Yi Zhonghai's heart trembled.

Chief Master Wei?

This is the chief engineer?

That 25-year-old Wei Ping'an?

The little kid who was bullied by himself?

I don't still hold a grudge against myself.

Yi Zhonghai was not afraid that Wei Ping'an would hate him.

Because at his age, he is still the highest level of worker, so he is not afraid of some things.

But he's not the only one who lives.

Qin Huairu and Silly Zhu are the embryos of his plan to retire, if Wei Ping'an wants to retaliate, it will be a headache.

"Uncle Yi, Uncle Yi?"

"Hey, hey, here, here."

In the bangs was a blacksmith, who had the most strength, and carried a bag of flour.

It's white, it's precious.

The three great masters Yan Bugui carried a net bag, and there were two bottles of oil, a bottle of cooking oil and a bottle of sesame oil.

At the end of 1963, the standard was one and a half catties of sesame oil a year.

This bottle is as big as a two-pot bottle, one pound per bottle.

When Lao Yan passed by his door, he almost couldn't help but go back to his house and take chopsticks to go in and take a dip.

Dip in some oil and water.

Yi Zhonghai was carrying a partner, beans on one side and millet on the other.

It's all fresh and sought-after food.

Not to mention taking these as New Year's gifts, even if it is for a family to prepare the year's goods, it is more than enough.

The three uncles looked at the large piece of pork in Deputy Director Li Weidong's hand, and their eyes were hot.

Not only them, but also people in the front yard looked at them.

"Oh, is this going to be a share for every family?"

"Didn't you look at the director of the street office and Director Li in front of me, leading the team to go door-to-door to greet the New Year, I guess those are the New Year's greetings......"

"The situation is really getting better and better this year, the supply has recovered, the factory has restarted, and the director of the street office is not empty-handed for the New Year......

After passing through the hall, Jia Zhang's small eyes saw the meat in Deputy Director Li's hand.

is heavy, at least a dozen pounds.

Look at the thick white fat, there are definitely three fingers, at least first-class meat.

But...... Seeing Director Wang and Director Li taking the lead, the three uncles followed and went straight to ...... The courtyard of Wei Ping'an's house.

Wei Ping'an's family?

This little scourge, why is it him everywhere.

Even the director of the street office gave gifts to his family, is there still heavenly reason?

Is this going to make people angry?

My family Dongxu is gone, our orphans and widows are so difficult to live, are the street offices blind?

I don't know how to give the meat, noodles, and oil to our family.

Jia Zhang got angry, whispered in his mouth, turned around and entered the back room.

Qin Huairu, who was picking up outside, looked inexplicable.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Zhangshi took a deep breath and just wanted to speak, when he suddenly thought that Qin Huairu had a situation with Wei Ping'an, he was deflated again, and sat down angrily, silently.

Qin Huairu put down the work in his hand and came up: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Who is hot with you, and I didn't see you go out just now. ”

"It's not that Wei ...... yet"

Jia Zhangshi paused again: "Forget it, don't mention it." Go ahead with your business, I'll be fine in a while. ”

Qin Huairu is not a fool, she is just uneducated.

When I heard the word "Wei", I understood that I was angry with Wei Ping'an's family again.

Opposite side.

"Hi, Director Wang, Deputy Director Li, have a good New Year."

"Happy New Year, Master Wei."

The two directors were very polite in their New Year's greetings, which was what they should mean, but in the face of Wei Ping'an, they were even more polite.

If Director Wang was not present, Wei Ping'an designated to call Deputy Director Li Director Li.

But to guard the first hand, the word "deputy" must be added.

It will not be unpleasant, nor will it increase the psychological burden on Li Weidong.

"Hey, the three masters are also here, then come in, and I wish you three a happy New Year."

Yi Zhonghai was the first to speak: "Peace, you also have a good New Year." We followed Director Wang and Director Li to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Zhang. ”

"Then come in, grandma, grandma, the three masters of the compound are here to greet you for the New Year."

Wei Ping'an said this deliberately.

You Yi Zhonghai has a gun and a stick, and I, Wei Ping'an, are not ambiguous.

Director Wang and Deputy Director Chen said to come to me to pay New Year's greetings, but you just said that you want to give it to the old lady, then the old lady will greet you, and I just don't bother to care.

Director Wang and Li Weidong glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's slightly frowning brows.
