Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

On the Spring Festival Gala of 1985, many programs that made everyone applaud appeared one after another.

For example, Ma Sanli's cross talk "Dale Te Le".

"Descendants of the Dragon" was sung by a Chinese mayor from the United States, Huang Jinbo.

Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao's comedy sketch "Making Movies".

and a soldier from the Armed Police Corps performing hard qigong.

……

bang bang bang

At twelve o'clock at midnight, many villagers ended their vigil, put on thick cotton-padded jackets and went outside to set off firecrackers.

swoosh swish~

There were thunderbolts that jumped into the sky and exploded, and more were whips carried on sticks. The whole village was firing, and the sound was endless for a while.

Listen carefully, there are some who shoot into the sky.

The dogs were completely frightened. They lost their usual air of guarding the house and guarding the home. They frantically looked for a place to hide. Many dogs took the opportunity to sneak into the house and could not get out.

"1984 has completely passed, and 1985 has arrived." Xu Dahai stood in the yard and looked at the night sky. No one knew what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Wang Xiuxiu called him through the window that he wrapped up his cotton-padded jacket tightly and returned to the house.

A large number of snowflakes began to fall in the night sky, and soon the footprints were completely covered.

New Year's Day.

It was about to get up at five o'clock in the morning. Xu Dahai put on his cotton jacket and trousers, went to the thatched building to urinate, and when he came out, he quickly set off a bunch of firecrackers.

Get up and put it down.

Wait until the dumplings are cooked and put them in.

As for why this is done, it can only be attributed to custom.

Wang Xiuxiu is putting new clothes on Xiao Tingzi, a new cotton jacket, new cotton trousers, a new headband, and new cotton shoes. Hey, she is dressed like a porcelain doll.

"Mom, I want to sleep."

Xiao Tingzi was so sleepy that she could hardly stand. She staggered and almost stepped on the tail of the big orange cat. Her eyelids could not be opened.

"Pfft~ Eat first, then sleep after eating." Wang Xiuxiu also smiled when she saw Xiao Tingzi's sleepy look.

There is no need to cover the dumplings with curtains. They are all served in bowls, one for the sky and one for the ground, and the remaining people eat them.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, I didn’t give the big orange cat cakes to eat. Instead, I opened the door and gave her meat dumplings. The big orange cat almost flew up with joy, meowing and wagging its tail rapidly.

The lights inside the house are very dim.

Xu Dahai just replaced the briquettes on the iron stove, pulled away the small iron plate underneath, and took out the ashes. He believed that the stove would be burning brightly again soon.

It was still dark outside the window, and the cold wind was blowing, accompanied by bursts of firecrackers, far and near, and the sound was like a continuous stream of firecrackers.

"Will your brother come today?" Xu Dahai dipped the dumplings in vinegar, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.

Really fragrant!

Chop [-]/[-] fat and [-]/[-] lean pork into minced meat, add sauerkraut pickled in a large vat, add seasonings, stir into stuffing and make dumplings.

Bite it gently, and oily flowers will flow down the corners of your mouth.

The fillings inside the dumplings are all lumped together and do not fall apart. This is called "one-ball dumpling", and it is a delicious first meal in the New Year.

"You will come. Renqing comes here every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This year, he may bring Mingyu from my eldest brother's family."

Wang Xiuxiu is not as wild as Xu Dahai when eating dumplings. She eats in small bites and looks very quiet.

Wang Xiuxiu has two biological brothers and one biological brother. She is the only girl in their family.

Naturally, he is very precious. It can be said that he has never suffered anything since he was a child.

Moreover, their family lives in Longxing Township Street, eats commercial grain, and does not have a rural household registration. They are naturally confident when facing Xu Dahai from the countryside.

Xu Dahai is young and energetic, and he is not a coward, so he has not been happy with Wang Xiuxiu's family in the past few years.

"Okay, I'll wait for him to come over." Xu Dahai said casually, which instantly made Wang Xiuxiu's eyelids twitch.

In previous years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Dahai would go to pay New Year greetings to his second sister and would not be at home, so he and Wang Renqing never met each other.

But the second sister has divorced this year, so there is no need to go.

The custom around Xujiatun is that if the elder sister gets married, the younger brother will go to pay New Year greetings to the elder sister during the Chinese New Year.

Sit down and chat, and if you are not busy, you can have a meal by the way. In addition to talking about the family, it means a visit, and there is also a hint of support from the mother-in-law.

Even not only my sister, but also my cousin are going to pay New Year's greetings.

If you don’t have a younger brother but you have an elder brother, then many older brothers will come over. The elder brother will not pay New Year greetings to his sister, but will simply visit and make family arrangements.

Therefore, there are many, many people who want to pay New Year greetings. They are busy from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year. It is good if they are finished.

Xu Dahai is not from the city and doesn't know much about the situation in the city.

It may be much easier to come to the Northeastern cities to pay New Year greetings since there are a large number of immigrants in the cities, and many people’s relatives are not around.

……

After breakfast, Xu Dahai's family of three turned on the lights, locked the door, and went to grandpa's yard together.

The moonlight was bright, and the thick white snow on the ground could be seen very clearly. There was not a single footprint in many places, just like a snow-white cake spread all over the ground.

Xiao Tingzi wears a new cotton-padded jacket and a new hat, and walks on her short legs.Holding a homemade lantern in both hands.

The square shelf was nailed with wooden strips, and the front, rear, left, right and bottom were sealed with glass. A horizontal wooden stick was nailed to it and tied with a rope. The other end of the rope was tied to a walnut stick.

Put candles inside and a simple lantern is ready.

The light emits through the glass, illuminating a small area very brightly.

"Watch your steps and don't fall."

"Yeah." The little girl nodded.

"Are you sleepy now?"

"Not sleepy."

Wang Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled instantly, feeling less sleepy when the cold wind blew.

……

A family of three arrived at Grandpa's courtyard. Dad, Mom, Uncle and Aunt, Xu Hu, Liuhong and the others had already arrived and were having a lively chat.

After a while, the third uncle and the third aunt also came over with the children.

The third uncle loved to make trouble, so he smiled and said to Xu Hu: "Come on, Huzi, give your uncle a head and I'll give you lucky money."

Xu Hu's face suddenly turned red.

He got married and thought of himself as an adult, but he felt a little shameless in an instant.

Others also started making noises, some asking him to take it, and some asking him not to take it.

Grandpa, who was smoking a dry cigarette, slapped his thigh with a smile, and said with hatred: "Huzi, can you let your uncle hold you? Just give him a thumbs up to see how much New Year's money he can give. If he doesn't give you less, you will be with me." He wrestled.

You, your old uncle has touched it for sure, but you don’t dare to knock it.

He doesn't dare to tease your fourth brother. Your fourth brother really dares to make fun of you. "

Everyone was chatting away, the atmosphere was very lively, and a group of young generals also followed to watch the fun.

The new daughter-in-law Liu Hong also pursed her lips and smiled.

Xu Hu couldn't get off the platform like he was being put on a rice seedling. His red-faced legs went limp and he was about to kowtow. His third uncle was startled and quickly supported him: "Ouch~ Okay, Huzi, your third uncle is joking with you. You Why are you taking it seriously?"

Xu Dahai's mother smiled and said: "Huzi, if you really knock me, you won't be able to keep the money in your third uncle's pocket."

After sitting for a while, several uncles and a dozen cousins ​​from the second and third masters came over to pay their respects.

Let alone the inner room, so many people can’t even stand in the outer room.
