At the dining table in the living room, a family of four plays poker there.

There's no way, there's nothing to do, keep the New Year until twelve o'clock!

Mother, eldest brother, eldest sister, and Yang Xiaole are at a table, Xiaoli and Mai sit next to the eldest sister, and they will run over and over for a while.

"Brother, come out with a 3, the eldest sister has a 4."

Wheat came to his side and muttered something to him.

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while, but he still listened to her, and came out with a 3.

Seeing this, Mai ran to Wang Qiuju to take a look, and then hurriedly came over and whispered: "Sister, you can't go out of 4, there is a 7 in my aunt."

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju smiled and said, "What? A bunch of you guys teamed up to kill one of me, didn't you? ”

Hearing this, several people laughed.

There's no way, who let a few people be in charge of her!

Except for a little pocket money, the eldest brother's money had to be handed over every month, saying that it was saved for his daughter-in-law.

Yang Xiaole put down the cards in his hand, ate peanuts, and waited there silently.

Because a few people are too abrasive.

The old lady and the eldest brother know a little, and the eldest sister has just learned.

"Xiaole, can't you get out of 4?"

The eldest sister was a little hesitant and asked him.

Yang Xiaole said as a matter of course: "You are stupid! I know that my mother has a 7, and you still let her run! Silly!! ”

At the level of these people, he is too lazy to hang it.

Because it's useless to use, these people play cards, it's simply not according to the routine.

"Oh!"

The eldest sister heard this, hesitated for a while, and came out with an 8.

Seeing this, Mai hurriedly ran over to look at his aunt's cards.

"Hey, I can't let you see it."

Wang Qiuju covered the card and smiled out of a 10.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while, the old lady has a 7, but it's a straight!

Wheat: This is a lie about the military situation.

As a result, at the end of the end, it caused a resentment from the eldest sister because she lost seven cents.

Anyway, it's all a family, and Wang Qiuju is playing there with a few people.

I don't care if I win or lose.

"I'm back!"

Kiko is back in play.

Seeing this, the eldest sister laughed: "Oh, this godfather and godmother have confessed?" How much New Year's money was given! ”

Even if she doesn't ask, Wang Qiuju will ask later.

This is a matter of etiquette, whoever comes back will ask which family gave how much, which determines part of the attitude towards the child, and the question of how much money to give next time.

Not everyone gives the same.

"The second family gave a piece, and the third family gave 5 cents."

Kiko happily took out the money.

Wang Qiuju nodded when she heard this, Song Xiaobao's family saw that the family situation was relatively poor, and it was understandable to give Wumao.

Don't underestimate the five cents, most of the New Year's money given in the city is a dime.

Poor conditions may be given pennies.

After all, there are too many children nowadays.

Then he hesitated: "Are we giving less?" Everyone gives a piece! ”

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "It's almost, the conditions are different, he is a university teacher, and Xizi went there for the first time, so he can understand it by giving an integer." You have to give too much, what should the Xiaobao family do? ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju thought about it.

In the end, there was no further talk, and several people were playing poker there.

Sometimes Yang Xiaole also has to believe in luck.

Wang Qiuju, who doesn't care about winning or losing, has won the most times, if she hadn't gone to the back to release the water, it is estimated that the eldest brother and eldest sister would have to lose and cry.

As for Yang Xiaole.

If it weren't for a few people fighting randomly, it is estimated that he would have won the most.

"Hurry up, it's going to be twelve o'clock soon, and you can't sweep it after a while."

Wang Qiuju was busy working, shouting at the eldest sister who was also there.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we do not sweep the floor and do not take out the garbage.

I don't know when the tradition was handed down, but people follow it there, and no one wants to be on the first day of the new year.

I was so focused on playing that I forgot all the time.

Sweep the garbage on the ground casually, and then everyone went to fetch water, wash their faces and feet, and go to sleep.

At this time, Daddy came back from outside with a smile with an enamel jar.

One look is a win.

Wang Qiuju was naturally the most concerned, and asked with a smile, "Who won?" How much did you win? ”

"Hehe, I won four pieces of three."

As soon as I came back, I touched a pack of cigarettes and opened it.

"You've brought two packs and smoked them all?"

Wang Qiuju watched him dismantle the cigarette and asked with a frown.

"Hehe, they don't have a pack for each person, I can't smoke it alone after I finish smoking!"

Yang Guangzhi put down the enamel jar and said with a smile.

Then I went to wash my face.

Wang Qiuju was not curious when she heard this: "You can drop the bear (as far as you can say.)" ）。 ”

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi ignored her.

After washing himself, he went to sleep.

The candles and lamps in the hall are not extinguished, and even in the past, when it was difficult, oil lamps would be lit.

Because everyone who usually goes to bed early during the New Year is excited, but when it comes to the point, they are already sleepy.

Lying on the kang and falling asleep directly.

……

The next morning, everyone got up late.

"Kiko, did you wet the bed?"

Suddenly, the eldest brother's surprised voice came, waking up several people who were asleep.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole immediately got up.

looked at the dazed Xizi, and then looked at the large water trail on the mattress next to him, and was speechless for a while: "Xizi, you are really good, how old are you, you still wet the bed?" I can still understand Xiaoli's bedwetting, but I really don't understand you! ”

Hearing this, Kiko was embarrassed: "I'm ...... I was in a daze trying to find a toilet. As a result, I couldn't hold back when I saw the urine bucket in the corner......"

Yang Xiaole sighed when he heard this.

It is said that the terrible thing in the dream is to pee and find the toilet, but the most terrible thing is to find the toilet.

Once you find the toilet, it's over.

Hurry up and pull your quilt over, but don't get wet.

"You really can! Did you play with fire yesterday? ”

Shaking his head and muttering, he didn't sleep anymore when he saw that it was lively outside.

"What's going on! Who's wetting the bed! ”

Hearing the movement, Wang Qiuju came over and asked curiously.

Yang Xiaole was getting dressed, and said to Nunu on the kang: "Who else can it be, it can't be me and my eldest brother!" Kiko urinated. ”

Then get dressed.

Wang Qiuju stood there, speechless for a while: "Don't change your clothes yet, don't freeze, come down quickly, it's sunny outside, I don't know if I can do it at night." ”

Then while pulling the quilt, he muttered: "It's been a long time since I have been on the kang, and I have been on the kang for the New Year." ”

Hearing this, Xizi pulled the quilt: "Mother, don't take it out to dry, bake it on the stove, it's too embarrassing." ”

"You're still afraid of being embarrassed! Hurry up. ”

Wang Qiuju glared at him curiously, tugged hard, and pulled the quilt up.

I went out with the quilt on my shoulder.

After a while, he came back and took the mattress with him.

"Big brother, second brother, don't say it's my urine! It's a shame. ”

Seeing this, Kiko hurriedly pleaded.

Seeing this, the eldest brother glared at him angrily: "It's not you who peed, is it us who peed?" ”

After that, I got out of bed and got dressed.

On that day, the entire compound knew that Xizi was urinating.

Adults are just happy.

But in the eyes of the children, it's a joke, and they still wet the bed when they are so old.

When you get up, wash up.

The family ate breakfast there.

Kiko's bedwetting became a joke after dinner, making everyone happy.

I don't go to relatives on the first day of junior high school, and I don't go to the door, but it doesn't mean that I can't go out!

The annual lively temple fair will naturally not be let go.

After breakfast, everyone went to the temple fair together.

As one of the spiritual activities of the common people, the city attaches great importance to it and has prepared it in advance.

But Yang Xiaole still saw it.

This year's temple fair is much worse than last year's, and there is a long queue in front of those small vendors, because everything in this temple fair is free of tickets.

That's not just a matter of buying it if you can!

It's just that the speed of the meal is really breathtaking, it's too slow, and it doesn't deserve the title of these masters at all.

Yang Xiaole also understood in his heart that it was estimated that there was nothing for everyone to eat openly, so he could only limit the amount of purchases through this method.

If you want to eat, you can wait, and if you don't want to eat, go and play.

Even the sugar gourds that used to be dozens of strings have now become a string of more than a dozen.

Of course, the price has also come down.

Otherwise, you will not be scolded to death.

I can't eat it, and there are too many people in line.

Fortunately, a few people ate breakfast late, came late, and didn't eat at noon and didn't get hungry!

The food is tight, but the playing, watching, and various gadgets are not missing, so that the whole temple fair is still full of lively atmosphere.

Originally, what I ate was the icing on the cake, and the impact was not great.

The family played there until the afternoon and then went back.

In the afternoon, several people were staying at home, and Uncle Yang Guangchun came over.

"Uncle~~"

Seeing him coming, several people greeted him one after another.

Yang Guangzhi took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over: "Brother, why are you here?" Sister-in-law! ”

I took a match and lit a cigarette for him.

Yang Guangchun tilted his head, asked Yang Guangzhi to light a cigarette, took a puff, and only then said after spitting out the cigarette: "Dad sent a telegram over, so we don't have to go over this year, saying that no one in our Zhuangzi has left relatives." ”

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi bowed his head slightly.

Now that there is nothing to eat, who will leave the relatives!

The people who went to relatives did not have anything to bring, and there was no surplus food or food to entertain people, so the village now does not leave relatives.

Everyone can understand that everyone is in charge of their own family.

Not only in the village, but now there are some more difficult ones in the city, and they are not ready to go to relatives for the New Year.

After thinking about it for a while, he still asked, "Big brother, what do you say?" ”

Yang Guangchun took a puff of cigarette, thought for a while and said: "I think so, my mother has been gone for so many years, the old man is not by our side, we have all entered the city again, and it is not good to go back." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "If you don't know if the two of us bring something over, we won't eat there at noon, and they won't have to entertain them, don't you still have to give food for the elderly?" Bring it with you when the time comes. Do you think so? ”

After listening to this, Yang Guangzhi bowed his head slightly, thought for a little and finally nodded: "I think so, so as not to gossip behind the backs of people in the village." Oh, by the way, take a look at my sister! ”

"Yes, yes!"

A trip to my sister's house, of course, is for sure.

Then the two began to discuss what to bring, and the two families were almost the same, but the gap was too big.

Yang Xiaole sat there, listening to the two of them talking, and it was just right not to go to the village.

He didn't want to go anyway.

And the old man can go to the commune to open meat if he is fine, so naturally there is no big problem.

But I haven't come back for half a month, and I'll have to bring back the old man's rations to Daddy Ming'er in a while.

"Alright, that's it. I'll go back first, and I'll go to my house the day after tomorrow! ”

After discussing it, Yang Guangchun stood up and prepared to go back.

Yang Xiaole and a few people naturally got up to send each other.

After saying hello, Yang Guangchun went out and rode away.

Seeing him leave, Wang Qiuju asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?" Don't poke us in the back when the time comes, and say that the old man doesn't care when he enters the city! ”

They are separated, not that they have broken off their relationship and have not interacted.

Yang Guangzhi shook his head: "It's okay, the old man said that there is no need to go over, and now the countryside is already like this." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju bowed her head slightly.

She also asked, after all, the two masters had decided, and she couldn't make a decision.

It's just worrying.

Yang Xiaole thought about it, but still didn't let his father bring things.

said hello and went out, and came to the post and telecommunications office to send things to Gao Danian.

The first day of the Lunar New Year passed like this.

Early the next morning, my father borrowed a pair of picks and took the food to the station to meet my uncle.

Leave a large family at home.

It's just that what makes Yang Xiaole strange is that he actually saw Qu Ying carrying a basket in his hand and going out with some things.

He ran away in his second year of junior high school last year.

Looking at the back of Qu Ying leaving, he was puzzled: "Does she still have relatives in Kyoto?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, the one who could let her go to her relatives should be Qu Ying's grandmother.

But why didn't my mother's family care about things when something happened before?

That's a fart relative!

Thinking of this, he asked his mother curiously: "Mother, do you have any relatives in Qu Ying's family?" I see he went out with this thing! ”

For these gossips, if there is a bit of rumor, the old lady must know.

Unless no one in the entire compound knows.

Wang Qiuju thought of this and nodded lightly: "Well, I heard that she also has an uncle, who left several years before liberation and came back after more than five years." ”

"What did he do?"

"How do I know this! Why are you asking about this? ”

Yang Xiaole shook his head when he heard this: "It's okay, I'll just ask." ”

Damn, what does this uncle want him to do?

My sister was sold into the kiln, and it was understandable that she was not in Kyoto at the time, but it has been a year since Qu Guohai came back, and she is still alive and well.

If it were him, he would have to kill Qu Guohai's entire family.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore.

Thinking that today is the second year of junior high school and they can go to their relatives, and they don't go to their hometown, so they are going to go to the old man to have a look.

Then I said hello and left directly.
