Le Yun was frightened by firecrackers when she was a child and had no interest in fireworks. Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, did not waste the money. Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming bought several boxes, and they all lit up in less than two minutes. .
Welcoming the Spring Festival, we also burn incense and travel to auspicious directions to pray for blessings. The two children of the Le family, one big and one small, as well as the unborn child, burn incense and go to the auspicious directions to pray for blessings, and come back to catch up on their sleep.
On the first day of the New Year, every household gets up early. Children in rural areas can go from house to house to pay New Year greetings, but children in cities do not have that fun.
Yan Xing spent the Chinese New Year at his grandpa’s house. After breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he went to his great-grandma’s house. Yan Ming was reluctant to leave the child, but still happily sent the child to He’s house to pay his respects to the elders.
When Yan Xing went to He's house, Jia Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
There is an old saying in rural areas: "On the first day of the lunar month, sons are the second son of the lunar new year." On the first day of the lunar month, sons pay New Year greetings to their parents, and on the second day of the lunar month, sons-in-law pay New Year greetings to their parents. , don’t go to other people’s homes and knock on doors.
Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, is scheduled to go back to her parents’ home to pay New Year greetings on the second day of the new year. She didn’t go anywhere on the first day of the new year. In the morning, Le Yun called the elders of the Chao family, her tutors, teachers, teachers, and teachers one by one to pay New Year greetings. , and then excitedly took out the tool bag of medicated dumplings. More than a thousand dumplings were made in total. After cooling, they were packaged with a vacuum packer, and some were sealed only in bags.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of junior high school. Because she had to go to Zhou’s house in the middle of the morning, Le Yun moved the things she used to make dumplings to the second floor. Usually after the second day of junior high school, the villagers also move around each other, and people come to the house. Often, it is not convenient for her to make medicinal meals, so she moves her position to the second floor.
One room on the second floor is used as a grain store, the other three are used as guest rooms, and the hall and kitchen are empty.
Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, also agreed that the girl should use the upstairs as her private place. He helped her move things, carry firewood and a wood-burning stove upstairs, and also put bamboo sieves, cutting boards, pots and other tools. One is on the second floor.
I was busy until mid-morning, packing up, bringing New Year gifts, and the whole family went to Zhou's house.
Grandma Zhou has only one son and one daughter. On the second day of the second year of junior high school, she waited for the girl and her new uncle to return to her parents' home. Brother Zhou welcomed his brother-in-law and his family and set off thousands of firecrackers at the door.
When a girl goes home to pay New Year greetings in the first year of her marriage, she prepares gifts according to custom, including wine, meat, and steamed buns, which are packed in baskets and carried to the Zhou family in one load.
Brother Zhou accepted the gift from his brother-in-law's family and went to his mother's house to let her arrange the return gift. Then he came back and chatted with his brother-in-law by the fire in the main room. Sister Zhou and Zhou Chunmei served tea, fruits and dried fruits.
Zhou Tianming said hello to his uncle and aunt before sneaking back into the next room to play with his mobile phone.
After drinking a cup of sweet tea, Grandma Zhou asked, "Lele, why does your dad use crutches?"
"Well, Grandma Zhou, that's what happened. I'll give it to you." My dad had something attached to his leg, and he was afraid that it would fall off if he applied force, so he asked him to use crutches." Le Yun opened her eyes and told lies, speaking clearly and rationally.
"That's good. I almost thought I slipped and hit something." Grandma Zhou was originally worried.Xin Yueqing fell down, which aggravated her leg injury, and she was very worried. She heard that it was because of the medicine that she could not apply force for the time being, so her worries were relieved.
Brother Zhou was a little worried and felt at ease. If Yueqing falls again during the Chinese New Year, someone might gossip about his sister Kefu behind his back. Even if the Le family father and daughter don't care, they will listen. Loud ears.
After chatting for a while, Grandma Zhou smiled and asked little Lele to help her dig konjac. Leyun happily jumped three feet high, jumped up, happily ran to pick up the hoe, and walked to Zhou's house In the corner of the back garden, he rolled up his sleeves and worked. One person dug for half an hour, rummaging through every corner, and dug out a dozen konjac as big as a soup bowl.
After comparing, only the four largest ones were left, and the others were lined up in the soil and marked. They carried the konjac back to Zhou's house. After washing their hands, they slipped to Grandma Zhou's side and smiled like stars.
Grandma Zhou didn’t let Xiao Lele help scrape and wash the konjac. The Le family grinded so much konjac tofu and sent a lot back to them to eat. Her family dug out the konjac and put it into Yuanxiao grinding.
At eleven o'clock, Village Chief Zhou and his two sons went to Brother Zhou's house. Village Chief Zhou and Brother Zhou's father were cousins, and Brother Zhou and Xiaohai of the Zhou family were also cousins, so Zhou Qiufeng married Le In my first year in Yueqing, I went back to my parents’ home to pay New Year’s greetings. Of course, the close relatives of the Zhou family wanted to see my new uncle. This has always been an unchanging custom.
Grandma Zhou Man did not go to Brother Zhou’s house to see the new uncle of the Zhou family because her son-in-law and grandchildren went home to pay New Year greetings and she was at home with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Less than ten minutes after Village Chief Zhou’s family sat down, Zhang Poluo and his wife also arrived.
Grandma Zhou is a girl from the Zhang family. Grandma Zhou’s father is the daughter of Zhang Poluo. Grandpa is a cousin, and Zhang Poluo and Brother Zhou are cousins. Even though they are thousands of miles away from each other, they are still cousins. It is only natural that Zhang Poluo come to pay New Year greetings to my aunt.
Less than twenty minutes after Zhang Poluo sat down, Zhang Ke, his wife Sister-in-law Wu, and daughter Zhang Jing also came. Zhang Ke’s father and Zhang Poluo’s father were cousins, so naturally Zhang Ke and Zhou Ge They are also cousins, so Zhang Ke and his family came to pay New Year greetings to Grandma Zhou as a courtesy.
Looking back, Brother Zhou and Zhang Ke are also cousins with a cousin who is three thousand miles apart. So, Zhou Chunmei and Zhang Jing are cousins with a cousin who is three thousand miles apart, so they are two cousins who are six thousand miles apart. They are cousins, and since they are somewhat related by blood, they have been close friends since childhood.
University is a city of plastic surgery. After a period of tempering, the temperament of boys and girls who enter university will change drastically. This is the case for Zhou Chunmei and Zhang Jing.
After Zhou Chunmei, a rural girl, went to college, she never knew how to dress up. When she dressed up, no one could tell whether she was a city girl or a country girl. Zhang Jing was Xiaojiabiyu in the county town, but she immediately came again when she went to university in the capital. A big change, her long straight hair was permed and curled, dyed burgundy, very light burgundy, and her fingernails were also light red in manicure.
Sister-in-law Wu also painted on her eyebrows and put on lipstick. Mother and daughter looked very presentable. Zhang Jing wore a winter skirt and carried a small silver handbag.
Seeing Zhang Ke's family of three, Village Chief Zhou had a tigerish face and glared unkindly at the mother and daughter who were dressed in a coquettish way. He pretended not to see him, then turned to look at the girl from Yueqing., with a look of satisfaction on his face, Lele Yazai is better. Even after returning from the capital, he is still the clean and honest child, like Zhang Jing, who has made her look so glamorous that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Brother Zhou is a little worried about Zhang Ke’s arrival. In the past, Zhang Ke would come to pay New Year greetings to his mother. Usually he would come only on the sixth or seventh day of the Lunar New Year after visiting relatives. This year, he will come on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Here we go, tsk tsk, everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart
He didn’t reveal Sister-in-law Wu’s little thoughts. He accepted Zhang Keti’s gift and invited the Zhang family of three to sit down.
Zhang Jing stiffened when she saw Le Yun. Her eyes fell on Le Yun's clothes, trying to find the brand logo of the clothes. When she saw Le Yun looking at her, she hurriedly averted her eyes.
Zhang Ke took his wife and daughter to the early guests and said hello to his aunt and uncle. Zhang Jing also wished her seniors a happy New Year.
Village Chief Zhou responded calmly with a straight face. He didn’t even ask Zhang Jing whether she was used to studying at school or not.
Sister-in-law Wu also said hello to Village Chief Zhou, and received a "hmm" in response. Her face was a little embarrassed. However, when she saw Yue Qing and Zhou Qiufeng being treated as guests, she shamelessly pushed her way over to confront the new uncle. The new aunt is sitting.
"Zhang Ke's wife, this is where the new uncle's companions sit. Please sit on the other side." Zhou Dahai is Qiufeng's cousin. He and Brother Zhou are the companions. When they meet Wu My sister-in-law sat down and rudely chased people away. No guest came to grab the seat with the guest. It was so shameless.
Zhang Ke walked to another table and saw his wife running to sit with the guest seat. His face turned red and he did not dare to rush his wife and took Zhang Jing to sit with Zhang Poluo.
Zhang Jing and Zhou Chunmei were sitting on a bench, comparing nail colors and discussing which one looked better.
"Old cousin, I know this is a place for guests, so I just said a few words to the new aunt and grandma. I didn't even go to have a drink when Qiufeng got married. Today I came to see the new aunt and grandma. My dear, they are indeed a match made in heaven." Sister-in-law Wu pretended not to see Village Chief Zhou glaring at her and refused to leave.
Her tone was clearly sarcastic. She was sarcastic about disabled men and women being unable to have children, and the fact that people with disabilities gathered together was a mismatch between the pot and the stove.
Le’s father was so angry that he clenched his fists, and Zhou Qiufeng looked at each other coldly. It was the New Year, and she didn’t want to argue with the mad dog. Especially today, the newlywed girl returned to her parents’ home to pay New Year greetings. She couldn’t make trouble. She remembered this, Wait until today to settle the accounts.
Zhang Poluo frowned and looked at Zhang Ke, only angry at his cowardice.
Sister-in-law Wu obviously came to make trouble for others. Brother Zhou's face was so angry that he was about to have a fit when he heard a crisp sound like a thrush: "Aunt Wu is right. I also feel that my father and my new mother are a match made in heaven.”
The Le family girl took over the conversation. Sister-in-law Wu looked over and met Le Yun’s eyes. Her eyes were as bright as lamps and her eyes were dark and dark. Like two black whirlpools, they seemed to be able to stir people in. She was a little afraid to look directly at them, and responded with a smile, "It's a match made in heaven."
"That's right, I never felt that Aunt WuIt makes sense as it does today. If my father and my Aunt Feng are not a match made in heaven, there are really not many people in the world who are a match made in heaven."
Looking directly at Sister-in-law Wu, Le Yun smiled instead of getting angry. "Who in the village doesn't know that Aunt Feng can do all the work in the fields, can write, do calculations, and manages the household well? She is a capable woman. When she was young, someone who wanted to marry her almost killed Grandma Zhou's family," she said. The threshold was broken; when I was young, my father was said to be a famous handsome guy in villages all over the country. There were many girls from other families chasing after my father, and they tried all kinds of tricks, but my father just didn't like him.
Both my father and Aunt Feng had an unsatisfactory relationship. They wasted their youth. Neither the man nor the woman complained about anything but others and kept striving for self-improvement. Then at this age, they finally broke through the constraints and rumors and got married together. , isn’t this what people call a marriage made in heaven? As the old people say well, what’s yours is yours, don’t force it if it’s not yours. The marriage between my dad and Aunt Feng was not unilaterally forced by either party, it was in compliance with God’s will. For this reason, the true match made in heaven will surely be blessed by the heavenly ancestors, relatives, friends and elders, and they will have a happy marriage and grow old together. Aunt Wu, do you think so?"
"That's good." Xiao Lele snatched the words away. Village Chief Zhou was a little worried at first, but then Xiao Yazi said a lot of truth, and the old man was very happy. On the tip of her eyebrows, she was the first to applaud her.
Grandma Zhou’s downcast face suddenly turned gloomy. Lele’s little girl had a sharp mouth. She not only praised Qiufeng, but also indirectly belittled Zhang Ke’s wife. Sister-in-law Wu was one of the girls who was interested in Yueqing back then. Little Lele had a delicate heart and knew everything, and she revealed Sister-in-law Wu’s scars so reasonably.
Sister-in-law Zhao pursed her lips and felt depressed. Laugh, Miss Lejia really has a sharp mouth, sharper than a butcher's knife. She can poke holes in people's hearts without drawing any blood.
Sister-in-law Wu's words stabbed the Zhou family's mother and son. She changed her face with the new aunt and grandma. She was originally smiling because of her great victory. When she heard Le Yun praising Zhou Qiufeng, she secretly sneered. No matter how capable she is, she is just a hen that can't lay eggs. What's there to brag about< /p>
When he heard that Yue Qing was chased by a girl when he was young, his face changed, especially when he heard the theory of not forcing things, his face stiffened, but when he saw Grandma Zhou and Village Chief Zhou who knew the inside story, they smiled. Looking at himself, he felt more uncomfortable than eating a fly for a moment, so he bite the bullet and agreed, "That's the truth. Marriage is a happy marriage if both parties are willing. If you continue talking, I won't be shameless and occupy the guest seat." "
As if there was a needle under her butt, Sister-in-law Wu stood up and walked away. She jumped to another table and sat at the same table with Zhang Ke, her daughter and Zhou Chunmei.
Sister-in-law Zhou gave Zhang Ke's old cousins handed over tea and added some new fruits and dried fruits and melon seeds.
Le Yun choked Zhang Jing's mother and ran away. Dad's mother-in-law's house is her brother's grandma's house. She doesn't look at the face of the Buddha, but for Uncle Zhou's sake, she has to give some face to Zhang Jing's mother, and she can't be too harsh.
Of course. It also means that the other party recognizes the situation. If Zhang Jing and her daughter do not see each other, the coffin will not fall.Tears always comes to mess with her, but she doesn't mind letting them and their daughter have a taste of what it means to live forever.
After Yueqing's leg was disabled, he became honest and easy to bully. However, his girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Zhou Qiufeng is not a soft persimmon. Zhou Qiufeng has not said anything, and Wu's sister-in-law has not even asked for it in Leyun's hands. When I got better, I didn't dare to laugh at Yue Qing and Zhou Qiufeng anymore, and just chatted about family matters with Sister-in-law Zhao Zuo Laxi.
Zhou Chunmei and Zhang Jing chatted for a while. Seeing that their father was busy with lunch, they became bolder and approached their grandma from the next table. They asked curiously, "Le Yun, listen to me. "I said your master gave you a jade bracelet worth hundreds of thousands, is that true?"
Zhou Qiufeng's eyelids drooped slightly, and her niece never forgets to trick her, saying "listen to my aunt" like this, If Lele had a bad relationship with her, and if something were to spread out, Lele would think she was a snitch or someone behind the scenes. Fortunately, Lele has a crystal-like heart, which is clear and transparent, and is not easily deceived.
Grandma Zhou suddenly felt unhappy. What does granddaughter mean?
Zhang Jing was also eagerly waiting to hear the answer. Chunmei met her on the day of the Chinese New Year and told her that Leyun had only a few children. She doesn't really believe in a hundred thousand bracelet.
"Yes." Le Yun nodded innocently, "My wife not only gave me an jade bracelet as a meeting gift, but also helped me buy a lot of clothes. In addition to daily clothes, there are also clothes for various events. The dress and accessories for the banquet cost more than 100,000 yuan in total. The suit I am wearing was bought by my wife. It seems to be from a certain brand in country F. It is completely handmade."
