My villa can pass through

At six o'clock in the morning on New Year's Eve, Xu Yuanyuan got up from the bed under the call of the alarm clock on her mobile phone.

The sound of setting off firecrackers after the New Year's breakfast (also the New Year's meal in the custom here) has already sounded outside.

Crackling incessantly, one after another.

All over the country, New Year's Eve dinner is eaten on the night of New Year's Eve.But there is a radius of tens of miles here, but there is another custom, which is to eat New Year's Eve dinner on the morning of the New Year's Eve.

From midnight on the night of New Year's Eve, only after the handover on New Year's Eve, some people start cooking New Year's dinner, and some people start setting off firecrackers after eating New Year's dinner at three o'clock in the morning.

Crackling one after another.

After the New Year's Eve meal, the male owner of the family opens the small door and goes out to set off firecrackers before the door is opened

The head of the family sits in the main room to warm up the fire, and then waits for the dawn. After the children have eaten this early New Year meal, they will sit for half an hour and an hour before going back to the room to sleep.

I slept until ten o'clock, eleven o'clock, and twelve o'clock at noon.

At noon on New Year's Eve, lunch is generally no longer made. Two tea eggs or mugwort eggs boiled in the morning are a lunch.

On this day, if you eat tea eggs and mugwort eggs, you must eat even numbers: it means that good things come in pairs.

For a meal in the evening, some people start to eat it from four o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating, go to the cemetery of the ancestors to pay homage, and then go home.

After Xu Yuanyuan got up, she started to cook, put Zou Fang, and Wu Jia and the others came out to eat New Year's dinner together.

The three of them made twelve dishes, and the meaning was: Yueyuehong.

Zou Fang and Wu Jia still entered the space after the New Year's dinner was finished.Xu Yuanyuan set off firecrackers and opened the door by herself. She sat on the sofa and put her legs in the middle of the fire grill. The electric fire was on, and she was sleeping with her eyes closed.

The phone kept ringing and it didn't affect her, and the red envelopes in her employee group had to wait until evening.

The phone beeped on the old sofa, and Xu Yuanyuan fell asleep soundly.

She didn't know that someone was talking about her at a relative's house not far away.

She also has a biological uncle, but he lives in the city. Since her grandma passed away, that family has not come back for Chinese New Year. When they come back every year, they only come back to burn paper for their parents on Qingming Festival.

Don't expect them to come back during the Chinese New Year, and rarely contact Xu Yuanyuan.The aunt was afraid that Xu Yuanyuan would go to her house to have fun in the autumn, so she never invited Xu Yuanyuan.

In case of meeting, the person who doesn't say a word at that scene.

The family not far away is the younger brother's family of the original owner, Grandpa Huang Yuanyuan.

Uncles, grandparents, and uncles are still there, and the children of the family also live in the county or city, but as long as they are sons, they will return to their hometown for the New Year.

Xu Yuanyuan came home last night, and she hasn't gone to her uncle's house yet.I also prepared gifts, of course I didn't go until the second year of junior high school.

On New Year's Eve, you can run around the house. If you don't go out on the first day of the new year, you can go back to your natal home on the second day of the new year. If you don't go back to your natal home, you can pay New Year's greetings between relatives and friends.

Uncle Huang sat in the main room and said to his eldest son who was not playing cards, "I just passed by the door of your uncle's house and saw that girl Yuanyuan came back. I didn't notice that girl standing at the door, she was still sleeping. Wait until noon, you go Over there, ask Yuanyuan to come over for a reunion dinner at night."

"okay."

Huang Da has nothing to do with it, she is also a niece, just a generation later.

When the uncle was there, he also came and went a lot, and he watched the little girl grow up.

It's just that Huang Da's wife curled her lips after hearing this: Father-in-law likes to meddle too much.

The little girl, who is a junior, will visit their elders first if she is a junior, and she will carry a two and a half catty carp upside down, and ask them to invite her first, a bitch.

No matter what she thought, she still didn't dare to say it out. The men in the Huang family were machismo and defended their weaknesses. As long as she dared to say it, the people at the poker table over there would criticize her even if they didn't play cards.

Uncle Huang said again, "I don't know how that girl is doing alone?"

"Dad, Yuan girl's four-year college tuition and living expenses are enough, don't spend it recklessly, and she still has a little extra after graduating from college.

When looking for a job, renting a house and eating for a few months are barely enough. "

"Oh, it's a pity that your uncle loves Yuan girl the most." The old man thought of his deceased elder brother again.

"Dad, think of something happy. It's the Chinese New Year this year." Huang Da didn't know how to persuade him.

"Well, you can kill a chicken later, and stew it for dinner at night."

"Have it."

Huang Da also has two younger brothers who are sitting at the poker table playing cards.

Glancing at the two younger brothers who were playing cards with his own son, he said, "Second and third

Come with me to catch a chicken. "

The card player didn't turn his head back, and an unwilling voice came, "What chicken are you catching? Playing cards, I'll catch it later."

"What are you waiting for? If you catch it, you will kill it. There is no time. Hurry up and play cards as soon as you wake up. Are you a gambler?"

Disturbed by Huang Dayi, the second and third children couldn't play cards well, so they turned around and complained to the boss, "What kind of chicken is killing again, don't we have New Year's dinner?"

"Dad said to wait and call Yuanyuan to come over for dinner and reunite together. Kill a chicken."

"Oh fine."

The second and third children have nothing to say, they have to kill a chicken.

You can't let your niece come here to eat meat.

When it comes to Chinese New Year, cured goods are not popular.Preserved goods are only popular a few years ago and in the months after the Chinese New Year.

This may be the case for full age.

Here Xu Yuanyuan has been woken up by Tian's father who is diagonally opposite, and the delivery of meat and ribs has come.

"Ah, Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Yue, sit down. I'll go pour tea." The sleepy-eyed man stood up, poured tea swiftly, then sat on the side, listening to Yue Huaizhong's settlement, and bragging about the origin of this pig.

"Yuanyuan, you've bought it. It's a pig raised by the Liao family in Wanchong, you know. His pigs grow up eating pig grass mixed with leftovers.

I didn’t even eat much oil bran. It was absolutely natural and tasted like the pork I ate when I was a child. "

"The pigs raised by the Liao family are not bad." Xu Yuanyuan also knew this. The Liao family in Wanchong is surrounded by large mountains with a lot of pigs and weeds.

The two old men in his family raise eight pigs a year, and earn no less than their children.

Now the price of pork is high, and I have not lost money for a year.They don't spend money on oil bran feed and the like, which saves a lot of expenses.

The two elders hunt pigweed by themselves every day, and they also go to the place where they live together to collect leftovers. Not every household gives them, but at least half of them give them every day.

There are dozens of families living in this area, and they come to collect it every day, and they don't need money.

Every day after dinner, I ride an electric tricycle out.

"That is, who in our neighborhood doesn't know, and who doesn't want to buy the Liao family's pigs."

Yue Huaizhong couldn't be more complacent, this year he took care of all the pigs of the Liao family.

Not a single one was leaked to others.

Father Tian saw Yue Huaizhong's complacency, and didn't know what to say, so he took a sip of tea: "Well, it smells so good, good tea."

After finishing the calculation, Xu Yuanyuan transferred the money on WeChat. "Uncle Yue, do the Liao family still have pigs to kill?"

"Yes, but it won't be killed until the ninth day (the ninth day of the lunar new year). Or wait a few days, and then kill it after the twelfth day. I'll buy half a fan."

"Okay. I bought it back and let your aunt raise it in her pigpen for a few days. Are you sure?"

"Well, there are still fakes. I'm not from other places, so I can lie to you."

Xu Yuanyuan thought about taking half a fan to school when she returned to Tanzhou, making her own salted meat, putting it in the refrigerator after it was done, and eating it slowly, anyway, there were a lot of people eating it.

"That won't lie to me, but the price is still the same price, it won't be lower, you think about it." Liao's pork is three yuan more expensive per catty than other people's.

"no problem."

Xu Yuanyuan also paid a deposit of five hundred.

Yue Huaizhong left happily, and vaguely understood that the orphan girl of the old Huang's family was rich.

As for how the money came from, Tian Sanshou talked about it roughly beside him when he was slaughtering the pigs. The little girl is courageous and makes money by setting up a street stall.

In the future, if you have capital, you will purchase goods from one warehouse to one warehouse.

If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about warehouse after warehouse, and you will know that the stall is quite large.

It's easy to deal with if you have money, he doesn't worry about the little girl's credit.

Tian's father invited Xu Yuanyuan to go to his house for a family reunion at night, but Xu Yuanyuan shook her head and did not agree.

After packing up the meat, some of them were brought back to Dad Tian, ​​and asked the family member to help Xu Yuanyuan make salted meat.

Also, Xu Yuanyuan put it in a storage box in a fixed villa in the space.

You can take it out whenever you want to eat, and you don't have to worry about thawing.

After packing up, Xu Yuanyuan knew that Tian Tian was still sleeping, got up and pushed the electric car at home to go out, and closed the door.

Go to the supermarket not far away to buy firecrackers and paper money, and go up the mountain to pay New Year greetings to the ancestors.

Within a few steps, there are only a few houses across the road, also surnamed Huang, "Did Yuanyuan come back last night?"

Before entering the door, I just parked outside, and the people inside greeted me.

"Well, I came back last night. Happy New Year, Uncle Yao." This person is the youngest in their family, and the younger generations in the neighborhood all call him Uncle Yao.

"Happy New Year. Come in." Huang Laoyao stood in the shed in front of the house and waved with a smile.

"Uncle Yao, I'll buy six packs of firecrackers, 21 packs, and another six lumps of paper money, you know what to match with the scented wax."

The youngest Huang kept smiling, "I know, you don't need money for scented wax, paper money is three yuan, six yuan is eighteen, and there are six firecrackers for twenty, one hundred and twenty, a total of 130. I'll give you another box matches."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Yao."

There are very few matches now, but the supermarkets in the countryside here buy some every year.

Not for normal sale, but for Ching Ming Festival and Chinese New Year.

The custom here is that if you go up the mountain to worship the ancestors, if there are too many objects, you cannot take them home.In the end, they all have to be burned together, as well as the matches used to light the fire, even if the lighter is cheap.In case the fuel inside caused a wildfire, it would be troublesome.

"Thank you, come back and stay for a while?"

"Well, I just went back to school before school starts."

After the account is settled, the payment is made, and the firecrackers are placed on the pedal of the feet.Hula suddenly rushed out on the bike.

The grandparents, parents, and grandpa's parents are all on the same line.

Xu Yuanyuan parked the car not far away, and then lit the incense wax and burned the paper one by one. It took a long time to watch the paper money burn out.Seeing that sparks can fly, I am relieved.

Take apart the firecrackers, put the six firecrackers in a long strip and put them together, light them, the sound of the firecrackers is good, and there is a crackling sound.

Xu Yuanyuan didn't leave by bicycle until the firecrackers were blown up and checked that they would not cause a wildfire.

On the way, I also met many villagers who came out to worship their ancestors in advance, some of whom I knew and some of whom I didn't.

The village is big, and it was a big village before liberation. A village has several Dawanchongs and a stretch of streets near the highway.

The people in Wanchong know the people in the highway area, but not all the people in the highway area know the people in Wanchong.

The old people know each other, but most of the young people do not know each other, unless it is a relationship between relatives, friends and classmates.

I just knew that they were all from the same village, so I nodded as a greeting.

It was past twelve noon when Xu Yuanyuan returned home.

When Huang Da came to invite her, he was rejected.

By the way, I walked forward and went to Huang Laoyao's supermarket to buy things, only to know that my niece went to the mountain.

When I got home, I said to my father, "Dad, I'll go later."

"Well, okay."

The daughter of Huang Lao San's family nearby muttered, "Uncle, just call, why do you have to go by yourself, don't you feel tired and panic?"

The ten-year-old girl pouted her mouth and talked in a rattling voice.

Mr. Huang glanced at his granddaughter, then at the grandsons around him, and said, "To treat guests, you have to come and invite them to be sincere.

I don't care how you interact with your friends outside, how you behave, when you return to your hometown to treat guests, you have to invite them at your door.Otherwise, it will make people poke the spine, and there is no sincerity.This is a rule handed down from the elders, you must be sincere when you invite people to eat, and it is not allowed to invite the neighbors next door if you have not found someone.

And it’s not good to make phone calls now. When you invite someone, you have to look like you are inviting someone, and don’t make some fluff. "

Boss Huang waited for Dad to finish speaking before continuing, "You have to remember that these are the rules of your hometown, don't forget these just because you are from the city.

The rules your grandpa said are not strict.Don't frown and be impatient, when your grandpa was here, when your father and I were young, I don't know how many times we were slapped on the palms because we didn't understand the rules.

Don't think that now is the new society and those old rules are not important.But you have to remember that many of those old rules teach you how to be a human being.No matter how society changes, some things will not change. "

Huang Da taught his uncle what he taught himself, and then taught it to the children at home.

Xu Yuanyuan returned home and closed the door, went into the space again to take a bath and wash her hair, went up the mountain to burn paper money, and set off firecrackers to make her body covered in dust.

The head is full of dust, so I can't take a shower and wash my hair on the first day of junior high school.I have to wash today, or I have to wait until the second day of junior high school to wash.

After washing, the clothes are washed and dried in the space before they come out.As soon as I came out and opened the door, I saw the uncle in the hall walking over, "Uncle, happy new year, why are you here?"

"Happy New Year, Yuanyuan, your uncle invites you to come to my house for a New Year's reunion at night."

"Okay, then I'm lucky. Did my uncle make meat lanterns this year?"

The original owner likes to eat meat lanterns made by his uncle.A kind of red lantern chili, cut half of the top of the chili with a knife or fingernails, but do not lift the top of the chili with the handle, so that all the chili seeds inside are emptied.

Then carefully stuff the minced meat with meat and peeled horseshoes into it, so that the stuffing is full, and the surrounding areas cannot be exposed.

After stuffing it well, the top of the chili pepper is restored, and it still looks like a complete big chili pepper, without any violation.

After it is done, whether it is steamed or fried, the taste is very good.

The original owner likes to eat this dish. Both the original owner's grandma and uncle cook it very well.It is said to be the family heirloom of the Huang family.

As soon as Xu Yuanyuan's words came out, Huang Da smiled reassuringly, and the little girl did not alienate them.

Holding the tea poured by my niece, I took a sip, um, good tea.

Eyes lit up.

"Yuanyuan, did you come back last night?"

"Well, it was already dark when I got home. I went to Uncle Tian's house for dinner. I cleaned up the house, and I didn't visit the elders very late. I originally planned to go home to visit my uncle and uncle right after taking a bath."

"Don't worry, Chinese New Year is like this, and not many people go out on New Year's Eve. I spend the morning catching up on sleep, and in the afternoon I will go to the mountains to worship my ancestors."

Huang Da Neng understood the reason why Dad came over in the morning and saw the little girl sleeping but didn't wake her up.It was because of the custom of my hometown, eating New Year's breakfast in the middle of the night.

The children spend more than half of the morning catching up on sleep. After lunch (tea eggs, mugwort eggs), some people will go up the mountain to worship their ancestors one after another.

Most of the people on Lunar New Year's Eve have the same process.

On the first day of the new year, except for going to the supermarket, most people will not go out. At most, they will say hello to the neighbors next door or across the street.

This day is also a time for the whole family to play together, exchange feelings and complain.

"Well, uncle, sit down. I'm going to get the gift I prepared before." Xu Yuanyuan only prepared gifts for the second elder, and the three cousins ​​did not prepare any. She is a college student and has no parents now. Gift for anyone's home.

It's just that Xu Yuanyuan still has to buy something for her uncle and grandpa.

Although their family never contacted the original owner and hardly helped the original owner, they still had to have the proper etiquette.

Huang Da hurriedly waved his hands, "What gift do you give a child? Don't bring it, your uncle and grandpa won't ask for it."

He knew about his own family affairs, he didn't provide any help to others, and he didn't usually contact the little girl. After a hundred years from now, if his parents didn't go home for the New Year and didn't meet this niece, the relationship might be broken.

Unless the girl's father (cousin) is there, it will be different.

"It's not an expensive gift, Uncle, don't postpone them on behalf of Uncle and Grandpa."

After speaking, Xu Yuanyuan had already gone a long way.

Go to the back and bring out a box of fruit with two boxes on it.

Tea and fruit.

The fruit is fresh cherries and a box of dragon fruit.

After putting away the first box, I went in and moved another box, "Uncle, help me carry it first. Wait a minute, I can walk there barehanded, without having to carry it."

"Okay, I'll be a porter." Huang Da was speechless, and suddenly asked again when he saw two boxes of tea, "Is that tea, the same as what I drink?"

"Yeah, same."

"Good tea, quite expensive, right?"

"It's okay, I bought the goods myself. The price is cheaper than retail."

Based on the principle of not wasting, Huang Da drank the tea in the cup in a few sips.

He also waited for his son to help carry the fruit, two boxes, and he moved it by himself. Of course, he asked his son to help him, otherwise what would he do with a son.

Huang Zhi came over, and was still very polite when he entered the door, "Hi, big sister." Xu Yuanyuan is one year older than Huang Zhi, and is the eldest child of the two families.

Huang Zhigang's first half of college.

University in Kyoto

"Xiaozhi, here we come. Sit down."

We are quite familiar with each other. We used to play together when we were young, but after Huang Zhi went to study in the county, there were fewer people coming and going, and we usually only saw them during winter and summer vacations or Chinese New Year.

As they grow older, boys are reluctant to play with girls when they grow up, and they are always polite when they meet.

"Okay." He came, and he was not in a hurry to leave. He sat down, glanced at the snacks on the fire table, opened a small package, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Sister, it's delicious, where did you buy it?"

"I don't remember, I bought it in Tanzhou anyway."

What did she say, she didn't buy it, it was made by someone else.

The person who did it can't say it, and she doesn't know how to say it in the space.

"Sister, do you have any more?" Huang Zhi was blunt, wanting to put some in his pocket.

"Yes, how much do you want?"

Somewhat embarrassed, he scratched his head and said with a smile, "Not much, just what's on the plate. I want to ask, do you have anything to eat after I finish filling here?"

"Put it on, I still have it."

Beef jerky, spicy, packed in a small package, but the taste is really good.

"Then I'm impolite?" Huang Zhi happily stuffed beef jerky into the big pocket of his down jacket.

Huang Da, who was sitting on the side, covered his face with his hands, not wanting to recognize this delicious son, what a shame.

The father and father each carried a big fruit box and left. Huang Da kept staring at the box on the box, but it was delicious tea.

After seeing them off, Tian Tian, ​​who was recovering from sleep, got up, and went straight here after washing.

Wearing slippers, she ran over, "Yuanyuan, are you asleep?"

"Slept, but didn't sleep well." Xu Yuanyuan spread out on the sofa disconsolately.

Feeling weak and not wanting to move.

Chinese New Year is just eating and drinking, so boring.

I don't want to swipe my mobile phone.

Tian Tian pouted and said, "Me too, I'm bored. It's better when I set up a stall, I'm busy all day."

It's nice to make money.

Now Tian Tian got into Qian's eyes and couldn't get out.

"Well, but I don't go back to school until I get the certificate for the foundation. Otherwise, I must go to set up a stall earlier, and it's too boring at home.

"

But his eyes were fixed on the computer on the table, looking at the graph.

Tian Tian, ​​who was lying next to Xu Yuanyuan, also saw the graph, "Yuanyuan, after the next year, I will follow you to trade in stocks, okay?"

"Okay, have fun, don't get too involved."

"No, I'll try."

"Okay, I'll take you to earn some pocket money, don't tell me."

"no problem."

Tian Tian felt comfortable, and the two of them swiped their phones with their mobile phones. The junior high school group, high school group, university group, and work group of the two were very lively. The two who had been diving seldom took the initiative to show their heads.

In Huang's family, the father and son carried the fruit back and opened it to see a box full of cherries. The female compatriots in the family cheered, "The cherries are good."

They like to eat this small and expensive delicate fruit.

"Yeah, Yuanyuan is quite willing." It was Huang Da's wife who spoke.

"There are no cheapskates in our Huang family."

Huang Er spat out the melon seed husk, and confidently blew on it.

"Hey, the one in the city who didn't go home is not stingy. None of the nieces said they would take over the New Year."

Huang Er's wife made trouble, and Huang Er was so angry that he wanted to scold others. Is there a wife like you?Dedicated to demolition.
