Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

That night, after midnight, firecrackers were fired across the country to welcome the new year.

The sound of firecrackers in Naye Village lasted longer than in previous years, announcing that the villagers' economic level had increased this year.

In many places, people have to stay up all night on New Year's Eve, and there are many people who stay up all night. Here in Naye Village, they are not so particular. They usually start setting off firecrackers after early morning. After setting off the firecrackers, they have some supper, and then sit next to the fire and chat. After eating, I went to bed around two in the morning.

I said I went back to sleep, but in fact I just went back and squinted my eyes. I had to get up around four in the morning, and then I was busy cooking. The whole family had to go to feed Grandpa before dawn.

It's okay for adults to be able to endure a night without sleep, but it's more difficult for children. It feels really sore to be woken up after only two or three hours of sleep.

In later generations, in order to have a peaceful sleep, adults prepared in advance. After setting off the firecrackers in the early morning, they could take things to offer to Grandpa, so that at five or six o'clock tomorrow morning, they would not have to get up as before.

And after someone took the lead, basically the whole village followed suit.

After all, it’s freezing cold and you’re sleeping comfortably in bed. Who wants to get up so early to do something?

In order not to bother his sons, daughters and wives in the morning, Deng Shirong moved the method from later generations to the current era. After setting off the firecrackers, he took his sons, daughters and daughters-in-law to offer sacrifices to Grandpa Grandfather.

"Mr. Jiu, happy new year!"

"Uncle Nine, congratulations on getting rich!"

"Jiu Gong, why are you going to pay homage to Grandpa now?"

"..."

When Deng Shirong came back with his sons, daughters-in-law and their wives, the news of his actions spread throughout the village and aroused discussion among the villagers.

It is foreseeable that during the Spring Festival next year, there will probably not be many people following the trend of making offerings to Grandpa Azu early.

…

The next day.

It's the big day for the new uncle's return. Although the Ou sisters are all pregnant, bringing the new uncle back is a very grand event. Even if they are pregnant and have limited mobility, they can't just let it go.

As for Deng Yuntai, although he is no longer a new uncle, he will accompany his wife back to her parents' home to visit relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This is the consensus of all men in Bobai County.

Finally, after some discussion, Zhang Xiuping held her child and walked to the Tanlian intersection with the Ou sisters, then took a bus from the Tanlian intersection to Longtan Street, and then walked to Poxin Village.

As for the three grown men, Deng Yuntai, Deng Changyuan and Deng Changdong, they followed behind carrying gifts.

It's not very far from Longtan Street to Poxin Village, but it's a long way from Naye Village to the intersection of Tanlian Road, and it's still a bit difficult for two pregnant women to walk. Especially for Ou Guohua, who is about to give birth in about three months. It is really hard to walk such a long way with a big belly.

Several people went out after breakfast in the morning and did not arrive at Poxin Village until around 12:30 noon. This speed was slow enough.

When the three girls returned to Poxin Village, they naturally caused a wave of topics in the village.

After all, it is indeed a very rare thing for three sisters who grew up playing together to marry in the same place.

…

When he returned home on the second day of the Lunar New Year last year, Deng Yuntai stayed at his mother-in-law's house for three days and received extremely warm hospitality from her mother-in-law's family. When he came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, the treatment he enjoyed was no worse than last year.

Xiaodong's children were treated like little princesses because of their father's superiority.

…

In the European Flower Family, the new uncle Deng Changyuan was also warmly received by his mother-in-law and his family.

Originally, Deng Changyuan worked as a clay worker in a cylinder tile factory, earning 60 yuan a month, which was already very good. Few people in the countryside could compare with him.

It’s even more incredible now. I became a vat master ahead of schedule, and my income skyrocketed from 60 yuan a month to more than 200 yuan. In the countryside, except for the small group of people who are bosses, no one else can. He is on par with him in terms of income.

In addition, he is considerate to his wife. What mother-in-law wouldn't like such a son-in-law?

…

In Ou Guofang's family, Deng Changdong's new uncle's treatment is not bad either.

This year, the chickens, ducks, pigs and cows he raised have made a lot of gains, especially the calves that have grown up. They will be valuable after raising them for about half a year. When the cows are sold, the family estimates that There will be money to build a new house.

Seeing that the daughter's married life is getting better and better, and the couple is getting along well, the parents are naturally happy, and they are not much different about the new uncle who has returned home.

…

When the daughter-in-law brought her eldest son back to her parents' home for the "annual examination," the third sister and two brothers-in-law also came with them.

While chatting, the topic of opening a restaurant in the county town was inevitably mentioned.

Deng Shirong said: "I will do this when I am fifteen. However, it is not easy to open a restaurant in the county. If you don't have a suitable store, you may have to spend your own money to build a house. It is conservatively estimated that it will take several months." It will take time to open this hotel.”

Deng Shilan worriedly said: "Brother, if you open such a big restaurant, how can Dashi be able to take on the position of chef!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Third sister, don't worry, I will hire another chef. Dashi will just be a helper. When he masters the speed and technique of cooking, he can be the one on his own."

"That's good!" Deng Shilan felt relieved after hearing this.

Deng Shirong looked at Chen Bangguo and said: "Bangguo, your task is very heavy. You are mainly responsible for the hotel's procurement. You will have to put some thought into it. The ingredients purchased must be cheap and fresh. If they are done well, you will Keep doing this, and if you don’t do it well, you can only take on other positions in the hotel.”

Chen Bangguo said excitedly when he heard this: "Uncle, I will try my best to do a good job."

Deng Shirong nodded, looked at Chen Bangli and Chen Bangfeng and said: "As for you sisters, for the time being you can only help in the kitchen with washing vegetables and dishes. When will you learn to speak the local dialect and treat others well?" Once you have mastered this aspect, I will let you do other positions.”

Sisters Chen Bangli and Chen Bangfeng nodded repeatedly when they heard this. Even if they just went up to help wash the dishes, it was a good job for them.

After talking about opening a restaurant, everyone's topic turned to Deng Yunheng.

"Brother-in-law, why didn't Yunheng come back to celebrate the New Year during the holidays?"

"The capital is really far away from us. It takes more than ten days just to travel back and forth. Moreover, there are so many people during the Spring Festival travel period. It would be too hard to rush back to celebrate the New Year. So when I sent him to school, I went with him. He told him not to come back during the Spring Festival. If he wants to come back, he should wait until the summer vacation! "

"So that's how it is, I just said why don't you come back!"

"It takes more than ten days to go back and forth. Most of the time is spent on the road, which is really not interesting."
