V1.Chapter 161

Xia Ziyu directed and acted a good play that almost moved her at the Xia family.

In Qijing village, Xia Xiaolan was not affected at all. With a full purse, it's better this year's new year's Eve. Although there is no TV, the whole family can keep the year old by baking around the stove, eating melon seeds and chatting.

Taotao's head is little by little. He can't help dozing off before 12 a.m.

Liu Fen pushed him and gave him a bulging red envelope.

"The lucky money my aunt gave you."

The red envelope given before 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve is called "lucky money". Lucky money is pressure. Giving money in the countdown to the new year is the elder's wish for the younger generation to be healthy, auspicious and safe in the new year.

In addition to the gifts given before the new year, when visiting relatives in the first month, relatives will give children red envelopes when they receive gifts. This is a new year's red envelope.

People don't have much money these days. There are no more than 5 or 10 yuan in red envelopes. Poorer people even pack one or two yuan.

This kind of red envelopes are given to each other. You add children to me, and I come to your house and return the red envelopes. If someone keeps scattering the red envelopes and doesn't recycle them, it's a big bloodletting in the first month.

Liu Fen prepared a red envelope for her nephew, and Li Fengmei also prepared a red envelope for Xia Xiaolan.

Xia Xiaolan will be 19 years old in a few months. If she gets married early, her children will run all over the ground. Where is it good to want a red envelope?

Li Fengmei forced to give it to her. Xia Xiaolan couldn't answer it. When she pinched the thickness, it was estimated that it was at least 100 yuan - just the same as the lucky money Liu Fen gave Taotao. Xia Xiaolan had no choice but to look at her mother. The legendary red envelope offset Dharma turned out to be true.

By 11 p.m., Li Fengmei was making dumplings. The whole family went to battle together, kneading noodles, rolling dough, adjusting stuffing, making dumplings, and inserting coins into the dumplings. Xia Xiaolan saw Li Fengmei secretly marking the dumplings with coins, but she didn't say anything.

Liu Yong bought firecrackers and lit them outside the house at 12 o'clock.

There are sporadic firecrackers before 12 o'clock. The closer it is to 12 o'clock, the more firecrackers. At this time, it is very rare for people to set off fireworks. Every family needs to buy one.

Liu Yong bought several sets of firecrackers and spread them along the road in front of his house. Connecting the firecrackers head to tail can sound longer!

How many firecrackers are set off in rural areas to welcome the new year also represents whether a family is rich or not. After all, it means that the family is not rich after all. In previous years, Liu Yong was also an interesting group of people. This year, the great unity in his pocket is full, which is also a turnaround.

When I met my neighbor's house shooting, I shouted at the top of my voice:

"Yongzi, your artillery battle is powerful enough. How many shots?"

"1000 rings, 5 hang up!"

He, you are really rich.

A small firecracker set off last year, the one with 100 rings!

Children like this kind of time. Liu Zitao doesn't doze off and watches Liu Yong shooting in the yard. Xia Xiaolan is afraid that his ears can't stand it and won't let him get too close. Liu Zitao jumps and cries excitedly.

Children are also sensitive to the environment at home.

Last year was also a very important year for Liu Zitao. First of all, he became a primary school student and officially went to school. Before long, his parents took him to live in the commercial capital of the provincial capital, and he also transferred to the primary school of the commercial capital. It was rare for his family to eat meat once before. It was not easy to eat a meal. His parents all wanted him to eat first.

Now there is basically a meat dish every day. Liu Zitao's mouth is more and more selective. He can't eat without meat.

New clothes, new shoes, not to mention, the family is tossing the clothing business. No one will wear less Liu Zitao.

At the age of five or six, Liu Zitao can remember that last year's new year, someone came home to ask for money, but if he couldn't pay it back, the person who asked for money didn't go away, and his mother gave him noodles... It was considered to send the person who asked for money away. His mother had a big quarrel with his father. Liu Zitao was so scared that he cried, and his mother hugged him and cried.

At first, his attitude was very fierce. When he saw him crying with his mother, his father didn't quarrel.

He touched his head and said a lot of words, but Liu Zitao didn't remember. Only know that the first month is not over, his father went away with his bag to "work".

After a few months, he took the money back to pay off the debt. His mother called the creditors home one by one and paid off the debt several times.

Then his father bought a new bike and rode home. Then cousin Xiaolan and second aunt came.

Liu Zitao shouted excitedly, and soon he was sweating.

The sound of firecrackers outside gradually decreased. Xia Xiaolan squatted down to check whether there were sparks splashed by firecrackers. Liu Zitao suddenly lay down in her ear and said, "sister Xiaolan, I think I'm so happy!"

Xia Xiaolan chuckled, "people are big, little ghosts. Do you know what happiness is?"

Liu Zitao was worried: "the teacher said that we live in a socialist country. If we have books, clothes and food, we are happy! I am very happy! I also have parents, sister Xiaolan and second aunt! "

The kid is so likable that Xia Xiaolan's heart softens.

Liu Yong came back after firing the gun and heard it really.

He used to be such a jerk. Fortunately, he didn't wake up late. He grabbed his son on his back, put Liu Zitao's legs around his neck and rushed into the house:

"Go and eat dumplings!"

After the firecrackers for the new year, it's time to eat dumplings.

Today's dumplings are pure meat, and each bite is particularly satisfied. Not surprisingly, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Zitao both ate the dumplings marked by Li Fengmei. Xia Xiaolan was mentally prepared. Liu Zitao was honest and almost didn't break his teeth.

He covered his mouth to cry.

"Don't cry. It's the first day of the new year. You can't cry in the new year."

Xia Xiaolan also coaxed him, "if you eat slowly, you won't break your teeth. People who eat this dumpling will be happier!"

Liu yongchou, how can you not break your teeth and eat too quickly!

Liu Yong suddenly remembered Zhou Cheng. He said one, two or three when he ate a herring. He didn't know how his family taught him. Liu Yong also thinks far. Before he has become a rich generation, he is considering how to train Liu Zitao to become a forced rich second generation.

After setting off firecrackers and eating dumplings, new year's Eve is over. Before Xia Xiaolan went to bed, she felt a bulging red envelope under her pillow. Don't think we all know that Liu Fen secretly put it there.

Mother and daughter make money regardless of each other. Money is confused together, but Liu Fen has a kind of compensation psychology for Xia Xiaolan.

In the past, it was difficult to get a new year's red envelope of one or two yuan. If you make money this year, you can make it up for Xia Xiaolan.

……

The Zhou family in Beijing is also celebrating the new year.

Zhou Cheng's grandparents are still alive and in good health. They usually don't live with their children. They don't like climbing stairs when they are old. Senior retired cadres such as Zhou Cheng are arranged in bungalow yards. When the level is up, the old couple are also taken care of by servants when they retire. The old couple are very comfortable living by themselves. Their children and grandchildren gather together during the new year, which is already very happy for the old couple.

Take Mr. Zhou for example. How many of his comrades in arms died before they could enjoy the day of peace, and how many left early when they were not allowed to enjoy the day of peace?

Mr. Zhou is very satisfied with his life.

Good luck, not greedy, let him step by step to today, safely handed over his duties, which can be described as a good beginning and a good end.

He and his wife's two sons and two daughters are also in good health. They didn't let white haired people send black haired people. What else are they dissatisfied with? Even if some children want to be better at work and some children have ordinary ability, Mr. Zhou is not greedy at all.

Those who came through the gunfire knew that nothing was important. Moreover, the Zhou family did not fight like a black eyed chicken like other families. There were small frictions. On the whole, they were very united.

On New Year's Eve, all the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family gathered together to accompany the two old people.

But without Zhou Cheng, grandma Zhou talked about her great grandson, and her granddaughter was a little jealous. Zhou Yi, Zhou Cheng's cousin, suddenly said:

"Grandma, I heard a little sister say something. I don't know whether it's true or false. I said that Chengzi has a foreign girl... You're going to have a granddaughter-in-law!"

When Zhou Yi said this, the whole family was as quiet as a chicken.

The spoon in Guan huimoth's hand almost fell into the bowl, "Zhou Yi, where did you hear that?"
