Chapter 128: Reunion of the Thirty Years of Chinese New Year's Eve
Chinese New Year's Eve.
At five o'clock in the morning, Fang Nian's family got up one after another.
After Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng washed up, they went into the kitchen.
The sound of pots and pans jingling.
After a short time, ingredients such as chicken, duck, fish, and other ingredients that had not been prepared into a meal, as well as tribute fruits, were served and placed on the table under the altar in the hall.
Fang Nian took Fang Xin to the side and watched the two brothers Fang Zhengbin and Fang Zhengguo busy.
Not much.
The two burned paper money, burned incense, lit red candles, and began to worship the gods.
Before long, Fang Zhengbin and Fang Zhengguo each rolled up a long whip and wrapped it around the floor in front of their respective houses.
Fang Nian followed to help move the two barrels of fireworks to the edge of the floor.
'Bang Bang~'
'Crack Crack Crack ~'
The sound of fireworks and firecrackers alternates.
This symbolizes the beginning of the official Chinese New Year's Eve of the old Fang family.
It has been a tradition for many years to get up in the morning to worship the gods and then prepare breakfast......
...... At seven o'clock, after Fang Zhengguo quickly delivered the last dish 'fried fish' to the table with both hands, the old Fang's family officially opened for breakfast.
Unlike the New Year's dinner in many places, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the main meal on Tangli is in the morning.
There will be a few more pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table.
There will also be a few more chairs than usual.
It means that there is more than every year.
Indispensable is fish.
From the early years to the present, the most extravagant thing is still the button meat.
The recipe is very different from the plum cabbage button meat that is common in restaurants in the city:
Choose a piece of fatty meat with skin about the size of a vegetable bowl, fry, boil, marinate and set aside, and then cut into lean pieces of meat the size of walnuts in varying quantities.
Finally, put the meat pieces in a vegetable bowl, add an appropriate amount of chili powder, cover the fat meat, cover a vegetable bowl, and put it in a pot to steam.
Most of the time, it needs to be steamed for half a day.
The reason why this dish is said to be extravagant is that four or five should be prepared around the Chinese New Year.
The second is that the family conditions are slightly better, and each 'buckle meat bowl' has to be one pound of lean meat smaller.
Not to mention the breakfast on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, the lunch of the second and third days of the junior high school to receive relatives must also be placed on such a table.
"Come, Fang Nian, Fang Xin, eat fish. ”
As the head of the family, Fang Zhengguo first moved his chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Fang Nian and Fang Xin, and the breakfast of Chinese New Year's Eve officially began.
“......”
This is probably the happiest time for Fang Xin, he can only eat vegetables and not eat.
Sitting on the chair is not quiet, and will say, "Mom~ Can I drink juice?"
Once you get permission, go for the 1.5L bottle of juice drink.
After a while, he said, "I want to eat button meat." ”
"Chicken ......"
"Duck ......"
“......”
Today's table is a bit too big for Fang Xin's little arms, and you have to stand up to be able to serve all the dishes.
After a few bites, sweat began to break out on my forehead, half tired, half spicy.
Fang Xin was accustomed to stretching out his little hand and brushing the hair slightly wet with sweat on his head, and it was over.
Fang Nian wanted to laugh when he saw it.
I didn't think it before, but now when I look at Fang Xin's appearance when he was a child, it's actually quite cute.
Although the black charcoal is a little, there are many small movements.
In comparison, when Fang Xin grew up later, he was white, but he was not cute at all, and the books were not easy to read, and he couldn't listen to them.
The breakfast in Chinese New Year's Eve was hearty, but the oil was also heavy.
For example, the skin of the meat can be eaten in two bites at most, almost pure fat, and it will look more greasy after the stomach.
Still, the meal took a long time.
“......”
Unlike previous years, Lin Fengxu babbled a lot.
"Next year, the college entrance examination will be coming soon, you have to put your mind on studying, put the matter of writing books aside, the money is not earned, and preparing for the college entrance examination is your biggest task......"
“......”
"Fang Xin, you have to learn more from your brother, and you can also come back with a wall of awards, you can't always be like before, Chinese and mathematics can only add up to 1450 ......."
“......”
Ms. Lin Feng first made a summary of the upcoming 2008.
The main thing of the old Fang family's current situation is Fang Nian and Fang Xin's study.
So Lin Feng focused on this.
Fang Zhengguo only eats and drinks [ ], does not intervene, he is the head of the family, outside the master, so this kind of housework is under the control of Lin Feng.
Fang Nian responded, and expressed his attitude clearly: "Mom, you're right, so I won't write a book next year." ”
Lin Feng looked satisfied, and was about to speak, but Fang Nian added.
"I've finished writing, and now there's only serialization left, and I can still get half a year for a hundred thousand a month's manuscript fee. ”
Lin Feng: "......"
Fang Zhengguo: "......"
This is your own son, right?
Can you fight in Chinese New Year's Eve?
I thought so, but Lin Feng just said on his lips: "That's okay." ”
"But let me tell you first, if you can't get into Fudan, no matter what university it is, you will give me a repeat study. ”
"Don't think that you were going to school a year earlier than others, and you didn't prepare for anything!"
Fang Nian: "???"
Is Mother's mind so deep?
Under normal circumstances, Fang Nian is not yet 22 years old after finishing college, and he is indeed relatively young in comparison.
It's not too old to repeat another year and go to college.
In the case of Tangli No. 8 Middle School, most of the boys are half a year old to one year old, that is, most of the boys have passed their eighteenth birthday.
However, Fang Nian knew in his heart that the reason why he was sent to school so early back then was purely because he was naughty when he was a child.
The certificate on the wall of the living room says it all.
There is not one in the first grade of elementary school and before.
"Good. Fang Nian lowered his head and grilled rice.
Fang Xin also nodded with a serious face: "Mom~ I'll come back with a certificate next semester!"
“......”
So, Lin Feng began the next step of looking forward to the future.
"After the rain in the spring, the house was officially built, and the earth master was invited to see the day, and the beam was on the beam before June in the Gregorian calendar, and it was the college entrance examination after the beam, and it was auspicious. ”
"If you can be admitted to Fudan in the year of Fang Nian, put the time that goes too hot in July, and come to the door with double happiness!"
"In addition, you are right, cover it early, and pick up the old man to stay at home for a while......"
Anyway, Lin Feng has to be at home in recent years, no matter what.
Now that the family conditions are better, there is no need for the elderly to live alone in the old house.
Not only could Fang Nian feel that the old man was extremely happy yesterday, but Lin Feng, as a son of man, could also feel it.
It was also at this time that Lin Feng felt that Fang Nian's proposal was very reasonable.
Usually no matter how good it is, at most, it is to go over once a month to send something, which is not real, and it is far less appropriate than directly receiving care from the side.
When people are old, there is always a time when they have a cold and are physically inconvenient.
Although there are many neighbors around the old house, I can take care of one or two, but if something really happens, it is difficult to connect with them.
The countryside is not as good as the city, although the copycat mobile phone is not a luxury, but the monthly rent and telephone bill expenses are decent.
So there's not much to do with each other.
How can it be compared to later, many homes in Maoba are wireless, and there is no wireless and 4G signal, and sometimes a WeChat call pops up......
Fang Zhengguo, Fang Nian, and Fang Xin didn't speak.
Lin Feng continued: "In addition, the water plant you mentioned, your father and I think it can be done." ”
"So next year Founder Guo, you will still be at home. ”
“......”
After the summary and outlook were finished, Lin Feng's chatter began.
“......”
From Fang Nian's dedication to this family, to Fang Nian's achievements, to Fang Xin's growth of one year, to the house, to the Chinese New Year's Eve, and so on.
Say it all over again.
At this time, there was more joy on his face.
Fang Zhengguo also interjected from time to time, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed than usual.
When he was over forty years old, when he was in the prime of life, the burden of the family was suddenly skillfully unloaded by his son, and today is the New Year, I drank some wine, and there were more Fangzheng Mandarin.
Except for Fang Xin, who has nothing to do, everyone has a taste of satisfaction on their faces.
Fang Nian is no exception.
The reason why he confessed his limited efforts was because he could make his family feel more comfortable and have more to talk about during the New Year's holidays?
............
............
Shortly after breakfast, Fang Nian's phone began to vibrate.
Messages of blessings popped up one after another.
Most of them have names in the address book.
For example, Liu Yang, Zou Xuan, Li Xue, Li Annan, Huang Lin and other classmates.
At this time, it has begun to be popular to forward well-written blessings sent by others.
Therefore, the content of the text messages is mostly catchy and quite rhyming.
Fang Nian replied with simple blessings one by one.
He didn't join in the excitement of this retweet.
After that, Fang Nian also played a simple blessing text message to Guan Qiuhe.
By the way, I also played one to Lin Yusong, who didn't send a message.
After a cursory look, Fang Nian had quite a lot of text messages, more than a dozen, among which there were a few unfamiliar mobile phone numbers, and they didn't sign them, so they didn't reply.
In the days when most text messages were used, there were always some text messages that were sent wrong.
Not surprising either.
As in previous years, Lin Feng ran over and asked Fang Nian if there was a text message with a good blessing and forwarded it to her for use.
Fang Zhengguo is no exception, they also have their own friends or distant relatives, and they may not move around much, but they still send symbolic blessings.
Just as the well-written blessing words were forwarded to Lin Feng through text messages, Zou Xuan's phone dialed in.
Fang Nian walked to the floor to connect.
"Brother. ”
"Happy Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Zou Xuan's voice was full of festivity.
Fang Nian hummed: "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
Zou Xuan said a few words of gossip, and then changed the conversation and asked casually: "Will you go out to play in the first month?"
"For example, go to Tongfeng. ”
Fang Nian raised his eyebrows: "Why do you all ask that." ”
"This year's senior year of high school has a very short vacation, and I have classes on the seventh day of junior high school, so I shouldn't have time to go out to play, only go to visit relatives. ”
“......”
Zou Xuan's phone just hung up, and then Li Annan's.
"Old Fang, Happy Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
"Let me tell you, when my parents came back last night and learned about my results, they were frightened and interrogated me for a long time, saying that they must thank you. ”
"Oops, I didn't expect me to score so much, my parents are so excited. ”
"You pervert scored more than 600 points in the test, did you go home and be praised to heaven? ”
This time, Li Annan really didn't give Fang Nian a chance, and as soon as the phone was connected, he chattered a lot.
Through the phone, Fang Nian could feel Li Annan's excitement.
"Okay, it's good to know that you've only scored so much. Fang Nian deliberately quipped.
Li Annan laughed: "I don't compare with you, you may not know, my parents generously gave 2,000 yuan of New Year's money this time." ”
"I was going to give it tonight, but I was so happy to see that I did so well in the exam, and I was given a ...... just now."
Fang Nian smiled and said, "Then remember to have a treat." ”
After that, I received a call from Lin Yujun: "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
"I called three times and ...... on the call"
The former sentence was accustomed to it, and the latter grunt made Fang Nian laugh out loud: "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
“......”
Guan Qiuhe didn't call, only replied to a text message.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in Maoba was either basking in the sun on the floor or playing cards for entertainment.
For example, there is a card table on the floor of the old Fang's house.
Fang Nian acted as a spectator with many people, the sun was setting, and when the game was about to end, Fang Nian's mobile phone rang again......
