At the end of the 29th year of Guangxu's reign, the Russo-Japanese War finally broke out.
The Qing government declared neutrality on the grounds that Japan and Russia were friendly countries.
The war has just begun, and there is no winner yet.
Du Lisan, who was far away in western Liaoning, sat in a daze after learning that the Russo-Japanese War broke out.
"I was really impressed by him."
He wanted to take another look to see if the follow-up would develop as he said.
On New Year’s Eve, Zhao Chuanxian cooked at home.
Yes, preparations started in the morning.
He, like people at this time, was used to two meals a day. So, what I’m preparing now is actually the meal for dinner.
Liu Guogui, Gao Li and Dayasu also came early.
Liu Baobao helped cut vegetables, and Dayasu poured dirty water and other things to help. Gao Li could only add more firewood to the fireplace.
Not long after, a group of kids came to the door.
Hoola, the not-so-big house is packed with people.
You kid didn’t have a good head, and suddenly he fell to his knees.
Zhao Chuanxin was startled, "I, Cao, which family do you belong to? It's too early for you to kneel down, don't kowtow."
Zhao Chuanxin first took out a big baggage from the house. "No, this is a foreign veil. You guys have big runny noses every day. It's so ugly."
Today, not only the boys are here, but the girls are also here.
Boys don’t care about it, but girls can’t put it down.
Immediately afterwards, I used my feet to push some wooden boxes stacked high.
"One for each person, no more than one is allowed."
These wooden boxes were custom-made by him before from Carpenter Li. The word "福" on the lid of each box was carved by himself.
Zhao Hongzhi opened the box and found that there were pastry preserves, sugar cubes, assorted biscuits, and a boiled egg with the word "Fu" written on it.
After the kids ran away, Zhao Chuanxin continued cooking.
Liu Guogui muttered, "This is too extravagant, how much money will it cost?"
Zhao Chuanxin said, "You don't understand"
Children of later generations , even during the Chinese New Year, we are still bowing our heads, playing black games together.
How could it be as lively as it is now?
What’s the point of spending money
Dayasu said honestly, “The captain likes babies, so why not marry a wife and have a few by yourself? "
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand, "No need, isn't it already available?"
Three people ""
Can it be the same?
p>
In the afternoon, the meal was ready, and the four of them gathered around the bar to have a big meal.
The soft and rotten pig's trotters, the chicken feet collected by Zhao Chuanxin, the meat jelly, cabbage, chicken stewed with mushrooms, fish, spicy shredded pork, and even a relatively expensive bear's paw .
Drinking a lot of wine during this meal.
The cups and plates are in a mess.
Over there, Zhao Zhongyi came to call them.
Just when he was about to leave, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Wait, IGet something. "
As he spoke, he took down four decks of playing cards from the cabinet.
"What is this?" Baoji has never seen it before.
Zhao Chuanxin is mysterious. "I'll teach you how to play later." ”
Arrived at Zhao Zhongyi’s house.
It doesn’t take so many people to make dumplings.
Zhao Chuanxin said, “Come on, I’ll teach you how to play cards and plano.” . Brother, put these two decks of cards on the altar table so that our ancestors can play with foreigners' stuff. After the New Year's Eve dinner, I still have to draw December with these two decks of cards. ”
Zhao Zhongyi didn’t know what December was, so he could only put the cards on the kitchen table obediently.
Zhao Chuanxin taught them to play Plane.
Recognize the cards first, and then start playing.
I was not good at it at first, but I couldn’t remember the cards.
Liu Guogui “This is interesting”< /p>
Gao Li threw out the four 5s in his hand and "bombed you to death"
Dayasu had a constipated expression on his face, "Xiao Yao, take care of it"
Liu Baogui was anxious, "Hey, why are you coming out now and there's still blood on your back?"
When Zhao Zhongyi came back, he said, "Hey, what are you doing? It's so noisy."
< p>After watching the excitement for a while, I started to feel itchy and unbearable, "My dear, please give in and I'll play for a while too." "Liu Guogui shook his head, "No, let Dayasu go down." He played bad cards, so he lost two games. "
Zhao Chuanxin said, "It's okay, there are still five people playing, let's play together. ”
We played until the dumplings were taken off the pot.
Then, Zhao Zhongyi discovered that Zhao Chuanxin was not joking, and he really followed them to perform sacrifices.
Kowtowed to his ancestors very seriously
What the hell is this?
Unfortunately, before he could express his doubts, Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly took the altar.
Then he walked home
He had to wait for the children to come to visit him.
In Gangling Village, even the dogs guarding the entrance to the village and at the foot of the mountain shared the dumplings.
Everyone in the village had a happy New Year, except Jin Tai’s family.
Jin Tai was addicted to cigarettes. He was tied up and moaning, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He was in unbearable pain.
Because it was the New Year, Zhao Chuanxin did not do anything, and asked Jin Tai to come back on New Year's Eve. Home.
However, although people can go home, they are still tied up.
He warned Defu not to let him go if he didn't want to lose all his efforts.
Jin Tai’s mother-in-law had tears in her eyes, “What kind of abuse is this? Please untie your father quickly. ”
Defu shook his head firmly, “Mom, do you want him to die during the Chinese New Year? I don’t want to say death, but if you want him to die, just loosen his bonds and let him continue pumping.” Tomorrow, the people from the insurance team will take him away and continue to watch him until he quits smoking. Mom, I have to go pay homage to Captain ZhaoIt’s New Year’s Eve, and with the New Year’s money, we can buy some rice and noodles, and we can still live on. "
Looking at Defu with a mature expression on his face, Mrs. Jintai wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead, my mother must have taken good care of your father." ”
Defu ran out.
He called Zhao Hongzhi and other children in the village and went to Zhao Chuanxin’s home.
The bannermen’s children gave him The Han people kowtowed to pay New Year greetings, and this would definitely cause an uproar.
De Fu knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Chuanxin.
"Wish my uncle a happy New Year." "
Zhao Chuanxin touched his head and said, "Happy New Year. ”
Defu touched it and probably knew how much it was, and stood aside with joy.
The second one was Zhao Hongzhi.
Zhao Chuan Xin hurriedly stopped him, "You go and stand aside first, and we'll talk later. ”
It’s a joke to ask him to kowtow to him, maybe he will lose decades of life.
Zhao Hongzhi looked confused, why don’t you let him kowtow? You can get the red envelopes
Next
These kids looked at the red envelopes they received, they were so beautiful.
There are paintings on them, and everyone’s are different.
A kid couldn't help it, opened it and knocked it, and then his eyes widened.
Generally, the New Year's money given by the family is only one or two copper coins.
But there is one silver dollar and 10 copper coins in this red envelope.
My Cao, no one likes to give out red envelopes like this. p>After everyone had finished praying for the New Year, Zhao Chuanxin asked them all to go out.
Then he took out the red envelope and handed it directly to Zhao Hongzhi, "You don't need to pray. ”
Zhao Hongzhi is still a little reluctant.
Why can’t I do it if they all kowtow?
This lacks a sense of ceremony, as if I got it for nothing. After receiving the money, I felt quite unhappy.
So, he pouted and left.
Zhao Chuanxin ""
Waited for a group of kids to go out. .
All the children ran away, then gathered together, holding the lanterns in their hands, and took out the red envelopes one after another.
"Wow, Silver Dollar"
"It's worth paying homage to me this year. ”
“I want to go back and kowtow one more”
“Why are there 1 silver dollar and 10 copper coins?”
Everyone looked at Telford .
As soon as Defu thought about it, he said, “I know. If we go back with the silver dollars, our family will definitely take them away. Captain Zhao must have known this, so he gave us 10 more copper coins so that we could quietly collect them ourselves and buy food when the salesman arrived. ”
What a thoughtful thought.
Indeed, this is what Zhao Chuanxin meant.
As for whether they can understand it, it depends on the fate of these children
Thinking back then, the most painful thing for him was that every year relatives at home would climb on each other and give red envelopes. If he gives a hundred, I will return a hundred.
Then, the children’s red envelopes will be confiscated. After that, it was like a book, no one made any profit and no one lost.
But as for Zhao Chuanxin, he still wants to use the red envelope money to buy something he wants.
It’s all taken away, what a waste of money.
He hated this deeply.
Not sincere
If you don’t want to give it, then just don’t give it to anyone. You have to play with formalism.
Because he had experienced "skin-cutting pain", he wrapped 1 silver dollar and 10 copper coins.
Zhao Hongzhi rolled his eyes, "In this case, I will definitely not tell my father how much money he gave me. Don't tell anyone. I only said that I gave you one silver dollar when I went back. Let's hide the copper coins ourselves." "
"Okay"
"Who said who is a dog"
"Hey, you girls, don't say anything when you go back, you know?"
p>
A group of little girls said timidly, "I know."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the discussion was over, Zhao Chuanxin chased them out again.
These kids are confused, what do you mean by saying too much and want to regret it?
I heard Zhao Chuanxin say, "Girls, go back and tell your parents, who will be the girl in the future?" If you have your feet bound, you won’t get any lucky money during the New Year. If any girl doesn’t have her feet bound, I’ll reward you with five silver dollars when she gets married.”
Then, the boys hid the money first, then dispersed, and went home to show off. .
As expected.
As soon as they got home, they were all shocked when they heard that Zhao Chuanxin had given him a red envelope of 1 silver dollar.
This is not just one or two children. All the children in the village have gone. How much does it cost?
What a waste of money
Immediately, give the money It was confiscated, leaving only an empty red envelope for the children.
Some of them wanted to take the red envelopes as well, because they looked so good, but the children refused and burst into tears.
It’s hard to do this during the Chinese New Year, so I have to return it.
When Zhao Hongzhi came home, he told Zhao Zhongyi about Zhao Chuanxin not letting him kneel.
Zhao Zhongyi frowned.
He was generous and told his son directly to keep the silver dollars for himself.
This one is beautiful for Zhao Hongzhi.
Unknown to everyone, his father fell into great confusion.
His mother-in-law asked curiously, "Why are you so preoccupied?"
Zhao Zhongyi frowned and said, "It's weird, there are weird things. Look at whose house is celebrating the New Year and goes to someone else's house to worship ancestors." "
His mother-in-law was stunned, she had indeed never heard of it. < /p>
Zhao Zhongyi was happy, "You can't think about it. I have doubts. I just doubt whether he can pass on the salary."Yes, he is really a relative of our family. He may have been in the fifth server, or he may be from some branch. He may be a junior, so Hongzhi is not allowed to kowtow to him. This can also explain why he was willing to help me in the first place." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
