After the New Year, the taste of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

Recently, my father has been very busy, and the neighbors have come to the house with red paper to find him to write Spring Festival couplets.

Don't look at my father's diploma is not high, but the calligraphy is excellent, who used to help with red and white ceremonies, and generally wrote accounts.

"Xiao Yi, how wide is the door frame of your new house?"

In the evening, after sending away the last person who asked to write the Spring Festival couplets, my father carried a purple clay pot and asked comfortably while drinking tea.

"Uh......" Zhang Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You really stopped me!" ”

"Xiaojun, do you know?" Dad asked the eldest brother again.

The eldest brother said: "Who pays attention to that thing, what's the matter, you still have to write the Spring Festival couplets over there?" ”

Dad said of course: "Of course you have to write, although I didn't live in the past, that side is also our home, and if you have a home, you have to have Spring Festival couplets, this is the old rule." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Ming'er, I'll go over and measure you." ”

"Don't forget to take the time to buy some red envelopes and come back, and you have to seal red envelopes for the juniors at home, hey, there are a lot of marriages this year."

Mom sighed after admonishing her.

The more people who get married this year means that there are more people who go out.

On the first day of the New Year, I had to seal a red envelope for those new daughters-in-law.

Dad took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, wait for Xiao Na to give birth to a baby next year, raise it at home for a few months, add furniture and household appliances to the new house, let's go to the county town to hold a wedding, and then we will be able to return to our roots." ”

My mother shook her head and said: "No, you have to hold a wedding at home, the banquet in the county seat is expensive and not delicious, you forget who is in our village, the banquet run by the county seat is 500 yuan a table, it is not as good as the banquet in our village 200 yuan." ”

The old couple argued about where to hold the wedding banquet.

Dad's reason is that the child has bought a house in the county, and the wedding must be held in the county, so the scene is not to mention, the in-laws also have face, and when the time comes, the hotel will get a few buses and pull relatives and friends in the village over, how worry-free!

Mom's reason is also very correct, the relatives of the Zhang family are very picky one by one, pay a hundred yuan, come to a large family, even eat and take, let them go to the county seat to sit on the big banquet too loss, can't afford to lose money for the sake of face!

The two couldn't argue, and seeing that the mother was about to be anxious, the father immediately closed his mouth in amusement.

"Xiaojun, where are you going to hold a banquet?"

The old man didn't speak, so the mother had to ask the little two.

The eldest brother opened his mouth for a long time and whispered, "It's better in the county." ”

The sister-in-law said: "The people we have recently married over there are also in the county. ”

Yes, 3:1, my mother suddenly had nothing to say.

Zhang Yi saw that his mother was a little stunned, so he leaned over and whispered: "Mom, my sister-in-law's side has been demolished, and my eldest brother has taken up the demolition compensation over there, if the wedding is held at home, what will my sister-in-law's family think?" ”

The mother was stunned when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she felt that what her son said seemed to make some sense.

"I know, it's just when I think of these people in the village...... Ay! My mother sighed and said, "Didn't you want to save them two money?" ”

In the final analysis, the mother still feels sorry for the child, afraid that the burden on the young couple is too heavy.

"Don't worry, don't you still have me." Zhang Yi comforted.

My mother said, "Let's discuss it when the time comes." ”

It is true that she feels sorry for the little couple, and she feels even more sorry for the younger son.

The younger son has given too much for this family.

"That's right." Dad remembered something, slapped his thigh and said, "Xiaojun, you have to go to your in-laws' house tomorrow to deliver New Year's goods, right?" ”

The eldest brother said, "Well, the younger brother will send us over tomorrow morning." ”

Dad said, "Okay, let's go to bed early, and don't forget to measure the door frame of the new house." ”

The eldest brother and sister-in-law went back to the house to sleep.

When Zhang Yi was about to go back, he was stopped by his father.

"Xiao Yi, don't pay for the two of them to get married and hold a banquet."

My mother said: "Yes, the down payment and decoration of the house are all the money you helped advance, anyway, their demolition money will come down in a few days, and when they are relieved, I will urge them to pay back your money as soon as possible." ”

"Mom, my eldest brother and sister-in-law know this in their hearts, don't urge it anymore, save yourself from doing something wrong."

The old mother said, "Okay, okay, you young people can handle the affairs by yourself." ”

Having said that, I was also worried that my youngest son would suffer.

Early the next morning, after eating, Zhang Yi took his eldest brother and sister-in-law to the county seat.

After the sister-in-law's house was demolished, she temporarily rented a three-bedroom apartment in the old town of the county.

Anyway, there is a monthly rental subsidy, so I must find a better environment to live in.

After Zhang Yi sent the two down, he went to Baimai Mansion and measured the frame size of the two security doors.

Just as he was about to leave, an old lady suddenly stood at the door.

"Young man, this house belongs to you, right?"

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, you are ......"

The old lady said, "I'm downstairs for you, let me come up and ask, is your house finished decorated?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Not yet, I have to continue to decorate after the New Year." ”

"Alas, you can finish the decoration quickly, my little grandson is just three months old, and he is crying every day by the movement of decoration." The old lady had a sad face.

"Oh, Auntie, I'm really sorry, you look at this trouble, I'm here to compensate you, try to pay attention to it when decorating in the future! Which downstairs are you? ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he hurriedly made amends, after all, this kind of thing would not be comfortable for anyone.

The downstairs house is relatively polite, and it took so long to find the door, and if you were other people with no quality, you would have been scolding the street downstairs for a long time.

"I live in 201." The old lady said.

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I'll tell the decoration company to go back and try to move as lightly as possible." Zhang Yi said.

The old lady said, "Okay, okay, I'll just come up and say, in the future, we will all be neighbors, and we will be considerate of each other." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Zhang Yi watched the old lady leave.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi drove to the supermarket, bought some fruits, milk, and some baby toys, and had two big bags, and soon returned to the community and knocked on the door of 201 gently.

"Who?" When the old lady opened the door and saw Zhang Yi, she was a little surprised and said, "Hey, young man, ...... you are"

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Some time ago, the decoration caused you trouble, the things are here, I'll go first." ”

"Hey, boy, thank you!" The old lady looked at the two large bags of things with a smile on her face.

I can't see it, the young man is quite good at it.

She originally wanted to go up and complain twice, after all, cultural people, scolding the street will definitely not be able to do that kind of thing.

I didn't expect the young man to buy such a thing.

The old lady carried her things into the house, opened them, and sighed.

"This young man, buy such an expensive thing!"

"Mom, what are you muttering?" A woman in pink pajamas walked out of the second bedroom, "I'm hungry, make me something to eat." ”

"Eat, eat, eat, sleep in addition to eating during the holidays, or not facing the computer, I don't know what to do day by day, even your nephew doesn't get up to see it after crying for a long time!"

Seeing the appearance of her own girl, the old lady was angry.

"Hey, there's my favorite snack, Mom, you're so nice to me!"

The woman went up and grabbed the bag, took out two packets of snacks from it, and happily went back to her house to load the hamster......

As for Zhang Yi, after he finished delivering his things, he received a call from his eldest brother as soon as he got in the car.

"Little brother, hurry back and start eating right away."

It can be seen that the eldest brother's father-in-law still attaches great importance to him, and he has arranged more than a dozen dishes.

As soon as Zhang Yi came in, the eldest brother-in-law immediately got up and gave up his seat, picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine.

"Don't pour wine, don't pour wine, I'm driving, I can't drink!" Zhang Yi hurriedly stopped.

The eldest brother-in-law said, "It's okay to drink some wine!" ”

Zhang Yi said: "At the end of the year, there are a lot of drunk driving investigations, and my sister-in-law is about to give birth, so I can't have the slightest mistake." ”

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, everyone really didn't dare to persuade him to drink.

After sitting down, Zhang Yi drank a drink and said to the eldest brother: "The downstairs neighbor just gave birth to a child, and when I decorate in the future, I will bring something to visit every week." ”

The eldest brother said, "Is it going to be so troublesome?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Yes, I was decorated a while ago, and my children couldn't sleep well and always cried." ”

When the sister-in-law heard this, she said: "The younger brother is right, you can't just go downstairs, the whole building has to visit, after all, we move in late, and it will not affect everyone." ”

The eldest brother nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The eldest brother may not have high emotional intelligence, but the main focus is to listen to persuasion.

While eating, the eldest brother's mother-in-law asked, "Xiaoyi, how old are you this year?" ”

It's coming, it's coming!

Before the New Year began, I encountered a marriage urging at my sister-in-law's house.

"Twenty-three." Zhang Yi smiled bitterly.

"23 is not small, do you have a target?"

"Mom!" The sister-in-law said, "Don't ask." ”

"Oh, there are still a lot of yellow flower girls in our village." The eldest brother's mother-in-law said.

"Okay, don't worry about it, Xiao Yi is busy with his career, how can he have the time to fall in love." Sister-in-law said.

The eldest brother said: "By the way, does the little boy have a partner?" ”

Xiao Xiao is the nickname of his brother-in-law.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I haven't gotten engaged yet, I'm talking." ”

The eldest brother immediately shut up, and thought about changing the topic through his brother-in-law, and the result was ......

Embarrassing.

The eldest brother Lao Taishan said: "What, Xiaojun, you have to learn a driver's license quickly, and when you get married, we will get you a car." ”

"Study, finish the New Year and practice subject two!" The eldest brother said excitedly.

After lunch, the eldest brother stayed here for more than an hour, and the matter of delivering New Year's goods was over.

It's the third day of the Lunar New Year to meet again.

This is more popular than seeing my uncle in the second year of junior high school and going back to my parents' house in the third year of junior high school.

On the way back, the sister-in-law whispered that the eldest brother couldn't speak.

The eldest brother listened patiently, and suddenly remembered something.

"Daughter-in-law, when we first entered the door, did your father say that the compensation money had come down?"

"What do you call your dad? It's our dad! The sister-in-law corrected: "I have all received the certificate, and it is just a ceremony." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, our dad, our dad." Big brother said with a smile.

"The village has sent the demolition money, wait until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see if the bank is still working, if you go to work, take out the money and give it to Xiaoyi as soon as possible." Sister-in-law said.

Zhang Yi drove the car and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry here, you can keep it for marriage first." ”

The sister-in-law said, "No, you must pay back the money first, otherwise your eldest brother will want to buy a computer again!" (End of chapter)
