"Master Yong, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting in advance!"

Gangzi said with a smile on his face, followed by Zhang San, who was dressed like a dog, and Hou Si, who was much calmer, and Ma Fei, a kid, walked in familiarly.

Xiao Li'er was in Xu Deyong's arms, staring curiously at a few strange people.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Go into the house to drink tea, looking at your red face, you should have a good life." ”

"Thanks to you." Gangzi Road.

A few people entered the room, Zhang San and Hou Si carried chicken and fish meat and large bags and small bags, which seemed to be indispensable for ten or eight yuan.

The saying of giving gifts before and after the year is still a bit exquisite, the one sent before the year is called the New Year's gift, and the one sent after the year is called the New Year's gift.

Xiao Li'er pouted and smiled, "Dad, Yuyu." ”

"Oh, big fish."

"Cock."

"Hmm."

"Meat."

Xiao Li'er can now say some overlapping words, and the little hands are very cute.

"Xiaofei, make tea, are you waiting for me to make it for you?" Xu Deyong took the time to say.

"Oh." Ma Fei grinned in response, and glanced at Zhang San and the others a little reluctantly, meaning "You are also worthy".

Zhang San hurriedly got up and said, "How can I let Brother Xiao Ma make tea for us, I'll come, I'll come." ”

"Little Pony?"

Hearing this title, Xu Deyong couldn't help but smile.

Soon the tea came up, Gangzi took a sip, nodded pretentiously and said, "Well, good tea." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Come on, you can still drink well at your level." ”

"Hey, hey." Gangzi smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you." ”

Xu Deyong said lightly: "You guys spend a lot of money, and I feel ashamed to take so many things, after all, my daughter-in-law is pregnant in the second half of the year, and I haven't helped much." ”

Gangzi said: "What you said, without you, we would not be where we are today, they are all country things, and they don't cost much." ”

Xu Deyong asked, "What is the situation in the countryside now?" ”

Gangzi said: "Our suburbs are fine, although there are some people who ask to quit the society, the number is not many, and the farther places are not so easy to say." ”

Xu Deyong nodded.

Gangzi's eyes rolled and said: "Master Yong, you asked Brother Xiao Ma to pass the word, saying that you don't plan to get involved next year because of this matter?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "Part of it, I don't think this will be so easy, and my daughter-in-law will give birth next year, and I don't have so much time." ”

Gangzi smiled and said, "Master Yong, you may not look down on these money, but our brother still has to point to something to live." ”

Xu Deyong said lightly: "It's understandable, but if you are caught in the future, you will ask for more blessings!" ”

Zhang San's eyes were excited and said, "Master Yong, it won't be so serious, right?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "Whether it's serious depends on what you are doing, if it's just a limit, I know that it's okay to say this, if it involves unified purchase and sales, hehe." ”

This "hehe" made Gangzi and Zhang San's hearts skip a beat.

"Huh." The corners of Gangzi's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled: "That can't be." ”

As he spoke, he took out an envelope and pushed it to Xu Deyong and said, "Master Yong, this is yours, and you have a share of what you said." ”

Xu Deyong opened it and looked at it, it was all five yuan, a total of twenty sheets, one hundred yuan.

He took out ten, and pushed the rest to Gangzi and said, "These are enough, after all, I have already taken some things, and they are worth a lot." ”

Gangzi said: "Master Yong, I want to take this back, you made my face fall to the ground!" ”

Ma Fei said angrily: "Come on, I have to do whatever Brother Yong says, and I won't go out to play next year." ”

Gangzi was stunned for a moment and said: "Brother Xiaoma, haven't you played very well in the past few months, if you don't like to have a small share, you can discuss it again." ”

Ma Fei said a little depressedly: "No, it's Uncle Tai who heard what Brother Deyong wants to pass on to you, so he said that he will find me an apprentice job in the annual care relationship, and won't let me run around anymore." ”

Xu Deyong's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Xiao Li'er happily grabbed the money in Xu Deyong's hand and played with it.

Gangzi scratched his head and said, "Master Yong, have you heard any rumors that we don't know?" You and Uncle Tai are doing this, which makes me feel a little unsure. ”

Xu Deyong chuckled and said: "How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and it is better not to cross the line on the shore and in the water." ”

Gangzi nodded and said, "Yes, I know, then next year we will collect some and try our best...... No, it's certainly not out of bounds. ”

"Hmm." Xu Deyong said: "In the future, it will be my share, but everyone is still friends, and you are welcome to come to the tavern to drink when you have time." ”

A few people chatted for a while, and Gangzi and the others were about to say goodbye and leave.

Xu Deyong said politely: "Don't stay in the tavern for a drink?" ”

"No, another day, I'll have to go back and think about it." Gangzi grinned, this product looks like a big old man, but there is a fine in the thick, otherwise Xu Deyong only gave a little bit, and he wouldn't be able to do it to this extent.

Before leaving, Hou Si also kowtowed to Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong picked him up and said, "Hou Si, what are you doing?" ”

Hou Si's hands were calloused, and he said sullenly: "Master Yong, although you don't have the name of a master, you have the truth of a master and have taught me a lot of things, and I won't be an exaggeration to give you one." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "The master led the door to practice in person, I will be more miscellaneous, in fact, nothing is fine, I see the changes you have made this year, work hard, if you look back for stability, you can join some handicraft cooperatives." ”

"Well, I see, thank you for your teaching." Hou Si said respectfully.

Gangzi and a few people left, and Ma Fei said with a hippie smile on the side: "Brother Deyong, do you want me to kowtow to you too!" ”

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Knock it, I'll give you two cents to press your waist after knocking." ”

Ma Fei pouted: "Then you are really stingy, only two cents." ”

Xu Deyong didn't want to deal with him, and said, "Why don't you leave, it's like staying to eat!" ”

Ma Fei stretched his waist and said: "Let's go, I'll come empty-handed today, but Uncle Tai said, you originally taught one, but now you have taught two, and his old man owes you a favor." ”

Xu Deyong said: "That Uncle Tai really lifted me up and paid New Year's greetings to Uncle Tai for me." ”

Ma Fei said: "Yes, I must have passed it and left." ”

Then he waved his hand and swaggered away.

Xu Deyong shook his head slightly, this kid.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the tavern was already on holiday, Xu Deyong packed up his things and took the two of them back to the courtyard for the New Year.

"For a long time, a nine-year-old girl can make flowers, and the flowers she makes are like trumpets, and the trumpets bloom, ticking ......."

In the alley, a few little girls are carrying rubber bands, and half of the children are running back and forth with small cannons, and some are blowing "porphyry".

Porphyry is more than two inches long, and as soon as you blow out, you will run forward section by section, and you will run back with a "porphyry" sound when you run a section, and then you will inhale again, and you will run back with a section of "oh, oh". This thing is made of glass, which is very thin, easy to blow and easy to blow out, and it is easy to suck broken glass slag into the mouth, so children who are too young cannot blow it.

Some adults went home with their purchases in their hands, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Although there were disasters of various sizes this year, this year was also the best year for China's external environment in the seven years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Under the guidance of the line of peaceful coexistence, more and more countries have established relations with our country, and in the "Polish-Hungarian incident", our country's influence has also grown, and its international status has become higher and higher.

Economically, the country's total industrial and agricultural output value increased by 125.2 billion yuan. Among them, the total industrial output value was 64.2 billion yuan, exceeding the 53.56 billion yuan stipulated in the "First Five-Year Plan" and completed ahead of schedule.

The rapid development of industrial and agricultural production, the timely halting of hyperinflation, the stability of prices, and the marked improvement of the people's living standards.

In terms of education, the number of students in high school and elementary schools has more than tripled.

This year can be said to be a year of prosperity and achievement.

People are basically able to have a good year.

"Brother Deyong, sister-in-law Huizhen ......."

"Brother Deyong, sister-in-law Huizhen ......."

……

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Guangfu and other half-sized children who were playing in the alley surrounded them, scrambling to shout.

They know that during the Chinese New Year, Brother Deyong will not be stingy.

"Hmm." Xu Deyong responded with a smile: "Don't set off firecrackers here, it will scare your little niece." ”

As he spoke, he helped Xu Huizhen down from the car and hugged Xiao Li'er down.

Xiao Li'er is not afraid to look at so many people.

Yan Xie Kuang's eyes rolled and said: "Sister-in-law Huizhen has a good New Year, I wish you a big fat boy next year." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "You are Xie Kuang, right, you can really speak." ”

As he spoke, he took out a candy ball and said, "Hey, I'll give you a candy to eat." ”

"Sister-in-law Huizhen, you will give birth to two big fat boys next year......

……

Good guy, the five of them have come out in a while.

Xu Huizhen sprinkled the sugar balls in her pocket, basically one by herself, and there were also children from other hospitals.

Xu Deyong took advantage of his efforts to push the car into the courtyard and took the two into the courtyard.

These boys also accept it when they see it, and they don't dare to entangle more.

Yan Xie Kuang looked at the children in the other courtyard, and said a little unwillingly: "Hmph, you are all stained with my light, if it weren't for me, you could eat the sugar ball, should you divide the sugar ball in half with me." ”

"......Shh The half-grown children immediately dispersed in disdain.

"Hey, one-third of it is ......."

But no one listened to him anymore, and they all ran away happily eating candy balls.

As the old saying goes, "a poor man dies of hunger in a cheap year".

Before liberation, before the Chinese New Year's Eve got dark, it was a good opportunity for the children of poor families to earn a little money for their families, and they went to the alley to "send" the portrait of the God of Wealth.

People who buy statues, don't say buy, say please, otherwise it is disrespectful to the God of Wealth. In the same way, the person who sells cannot say that he is selling, but that he is giving away.

I went to send it a little earlier, and the people who invited it were not in a hurry, and it was late, and everyone invited them, so I couldn't send them out, so I had to hurry.

Most of these children are in torn hats and dirty clothes, but they are very cheerful, just like the newsboys.

The children were holding a stack of "God of Wealth" in their hands, one by one, snoring, all of them came, crowded at the gate of the house, and everyone shouted: "Send the God of Wealth!" ”

For a while, it was very quiet, and the children stared at the dark eyes and waited for an echo, but when they did not see the master reply, they ran away again.

"Three masters, have a good New Year!"

"Yo, Deyong and Huizhen are back, your New Year's goods are really rich, and the chickens, fish, meat and eggs are all alive." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Xu Huizhen feels a little weird every time she looks at him and Jia Zhang, Jia Zhang's is okay to be young, especially Yan Bugui, there is always a feeling of facing the filmmaker.

She smiled and said, "Film...... Three masters, what you said, don't you have to eat a good meal for taking the lead in a year, and it can't be done if it's not hearty. ”

"Yes, you're right." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Xu Deyong asked Li'er to shout "grandpa", and the family entered the middle courtyard.

Xu Nanshi opened the door almost immediately and said, "You guys are back, come into the house, it's cold outside, and the little girl is frozen." ”

"Grandma." Xiao Li'er said a little vaguely in a milky voice.

"Ouch, grandma hug." Xu Nanshi smiled and reached out to hug it.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Grandma, the little guy is calm, I'll carry it into the house." ”

Xu Nanshi glared at him angrily and said, "Your grandma and I are in good health, and I can hold another one." ”

After that, he took Xiao Li'er and entered the house.

Xu Deyong greeted He Yuzhu and He Yushui, who showed their heads, and went back to the house after a few idle words.

After a brief rest, Xu Deyong began to kill chickens and fish to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and as for the Spring Festival, it still can't be pasted.

In the house, Xu Huizhen wound the record player, and the record turned "babbling and babbling" to sing the music of the era.

Ten fireworks, all living beings are separated!

……

In the evening, before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, if there are elderly people in the family, the elderly generally wear formal clothes to lead their children and grandchildren to worship their ancestors, and then eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you need to keep the year, and the festival passes the "robbery", and the legend says that the "year" is also a demon who eats people, so the "year" must stay sober.

Then there is the New Year's money, which was only given to the elderly in the past, which is called New Year's money, which means longevity; Parents give their children a string of 8 copper coins, which is called pressure money, which means to keep peace.

Only the next generation of old people can give real money to the children, so as to borrow the blessings of the old people to celebrate the New Year.

New Year's money and money are the most desired gifts for children during the New Year.

Xu Huizhen and Xiaoli'er couldn't stay up, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Nanshi gave the money for the year, all of them were next generation, so Xu Nanshi gave three portions, and one gave two cents.

Xiao Li'er got her parents with two cents and a smile on her face, and she was also stupid, running around the house.

Xu Deyong also got a string of copper coins for Xiao Li'er to play with.

The years are safe, and the years are over.

Xu Huizhen and Xiao Li'er slept first, Xu Deyong and his grandmother kept the New Year until twelve o'clock, ate vegetarian dumplings, and there were firecrackers outside one after another, and the year passed like this, from the Year of the Monkey to the Year of the Rooster.

The first day of the new year greets, the second day of the new year to visit the temple fair.

On the third day of the first month, it is said that the rat marryed, and the Jade Emperor allowed the rat to marry on this day, asking people to go to bed early and putting some food in the four corners of the house, so that the rat could also live a good life.

The lower realm of the gods on the fourth day of the first month is considered to be the last day of the traditional Spring Festival holiday, and the gods parade through the world, so each family should tie paper people and paper horses for the gods to ride, and in addition to worshipping the gods.

On the fifth day of the new year, the tavern was about to officially open, and Xu Deyong and they went back early.
