pastoral days

The Spring Festival is also the beginning of spring, which can be said to be the most important festival in ancient times (no one).Winter goes to spring and Vientiane is renewed.It is the beginning of a year, and it entrusts people's good wishes for the new year.One of the important activities before the Spring Festival is to worship the stove.

This is the first year that Song Chaoyang's family has separated, and Song Lai is full of energy.Directed Song Gang and Song Chaoyang to clean the inside and outside of the house.In addition, there is a son who earns money and a capable husband-in-law. Song Laizai didn't have to think about spending a penny. In order to welcome a new life, he took his two laborers and scoured the county town.

Otherwise, shopping makes people happy, and spending money makes people happy.Although Song Chaoyang and Song Gang were a little tired (mainly because of their heart), it was the first time seeing Song Lai so happy, and they did their best to accompany them.When the three of them returned home, Song Lai discovered that he actually spent 3 taels.What kind of concept is this? Just sitting on the kang and silently doubting life.

Song Chaoyang grumbled at Song Gang and asked him to go over and untie it.

Song Chaoyang ran back to his room.He wanted to give each of the Song brothers a gift during the Chinese New Year.He has been in ancient times for so long, and he only has these two close friends.In particular, Zhang Ruiwen is a bit naive (stupid) and a bit pretentious, but he cannot deny the persona of his Xueba, which really makes him dumbfounded.

He and Zhang Ruihua have discussed that after the Lantern Festival, they will go on a study tour. Firstly, the two will enrich their vision. After all, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Second, the two will see what their family taste is Branches can be opened anywhere.No matter how bad it is, they can open a workshop and sell some semi-finished products.

The two secretly made full preparations for this. Song Chaoyang wasn't very worried. Thinking of the people he had been with in the primitive deep forest before, this matter was trivial.The main reason is that although Zhang Ruihua is in good health, he seldom suffers after all.For the great cause of the two people's travel.Song Chaoyang has been training Zhang Ruihua for the last month, and he has formed a duo for daily exercise.It has to be said that the effect is remarkable.

They were about to leave soon, and the two of them made full preparations, but they didn't report to their families.I can't open my mouth.Although children in ancient times matured relatively early, many children left home early at their age to venture out.But both parents will worry about the children who leave home. If possible, they want the children to be by their side forever, and do their best to support the sky above their heads.

The two "rebellious teenagers" discussed that in order not to affect everyone's good mood for the New Year, after the Lantern Festival, it would be like a showdown at home and then set off in early February.

Song Chaoyang came back to his senses, hey, I can't think about it, I'm worried.He should prepare a gift, when the time comes, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.He and his father have also learned carpentry for a period of time. Although it is not as good as Song Hai's, but now he can help make a small object.

Of course, what he made for the young master of the Zhang family was something he made by himself, and he prepared a wooden pen holder for Zhang Ruihua, which said to study hard and make progress every day (forgive him for his lack of education).Anyway, he still hasn't seen a pen holder, and everyone's writing brushes are hung on the stand.

The one who sent Zhang Ruiwen was even more powerful, a whole set of mahjong.He selects the best wood, sands it, and carves it.Almost every night he would stay up late, and sometimes he would just laugh while he was carving.He can almost imagine Zhang Ruiwen's love for this pair of mahjong, after all, this is an entertainment project loved by all ages in modern society.Hope it can dilute his sadness about his brother leaving home.For the eccentric Zhang Ruiwen, he can especially feel the Zhang family's love for him. He now treats Zhang Ruiwen as his younger brother (are you sure?), and hopes that he will stay away from sorrow and do what he wants to do.

Zhang Ruihua's gift was prepared early on, and Zhang Ruiwen's mahjong took a lot of effort from Song Chaoyang.But he enjoyed it.After finishing mahjong, he felt that there was something missing, and he thought for a long time that he lacked an exquisite wooden box.After a few more days of work, it was finally done, put the gifts of the two into the wooden basket, and went to give gifts tomorrow.A little excited.In the past, I was very envious that friends could give each other gifts, but the conditions of the orphanage did not allow it.

After packing up his things, Song Chaoyang left the house.Prepare to eat two catties of dog food to calm down.Sure enough, the two of them got bored again. "Chaoyang, let's go, let's go to your grandfather's house together to give a gift." Song Gang greeted his son as soon as he saw him come out.

"En, okay" Song Zhaoyang actually didn't really want to go to the Song family's old house.The memory given to him over there was really bad.But visiting the elders was something that should be done years ago, and he would not object.Song Chaoyang's family has been going smoothly since the separation of the family. Even Song's second family and Song's third family earned some money in one winter, so after the three families discussed, they adjusted the money for the two old people to one penny. Things come according to the preparations of each family, and they are not consistent.

Song Gang and Song Lai are actually filial children. The filial piety of ancient people is really greater than the sky, but Song Gang is not so foolish and filial.He is a sensible man.In the ancient environment, there is quite a feeling of being wise and foolish.Song Zhaoyang felt that if his family conditions were good, Song Gang might become a high-ranking official.

In fact, Song Lai bought a lot of things today, half of which were bought for Song Laozhai. There were vegetable leaves that his father liked to drink, honey that his mother liked to drink, polished rice noodles, pastries, and everything he could think of. .He doesn't resent what happened to him in the Song family, he has always been grateful to the Song family for raising him up, so that he has a good partner and a good son.His life feels like he is only a few grandsons and granddaughters away from consummation.

The three of them were carrying a lot of stuff, feeling a lot of emotion along the way. "Gangzi, go to see your father, it's a lot of money, it's really filial," said the villagers when they met on the road.

"Yeah, it's Chinese New Year, let's go and have a look," Song Gang cheerfully replied. "Well, let's go and have a look. This winter, your elder brother is talking bad things about you outside every day, and you are not filial to the elderly. Although the villagers don't believe it, they are also rumors." , climbed over the tree.He has always looked down on Boss Song, he can't stand up as an elder brother, he doesn't talk about taking care of his younger brothers, he just shows his brother's image with his younger brothers all day long, who is he?

"Well, okay, thank you brother for reminding me, I will pay attention to it" Song Gang said with a hammer on the man's chest.He really can't control his elder brother's words and deeds.After he recovered from his injury, he often went back to see the old man and brought him some food. The village is so big, and everyone can see it.Who would believe his words? This will only keep everyone away from their family. Song Youcai is about to marry him. I really don't want to do anything to ruin such a reputation for such a stupid brother.

Finally arriving at the Song family's old house, Song Youcai saw Song Chaoyang's family coming from afar.Busy ran home to make a report.After a while, Song Fu and his wife came out to welcome him. "Third brother, here we come." Song Fu's eyes lit up when he saw what Song Gang and the others had mentioned.He looked like a good brother and wanted to take things over.

"Where's father and mother?" Song Gang really didn't want his stupid brother to talk nonsense, he was too tired.If you don’t teach him anything, how can you come out if you give him something? "Let's go, I'll take you to find it, I'll be waiting for you for a few days." Song Fu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and walked inside.I'm so mad at him, isn't it just watching his family make money now, waiting to get some benefits, otherwise you won't be allowed to enter.snort!

Of course, the more important thing is that Song Fu knows that Song Gang's family is now in a relationship with the Zhang family in the county, which is a bit difficult to mess with. It's not too stupid, but it's the autumn wind that wants to fall from the sky every day and beat the younger brothers.Hey, it's not easy being an older brother.

"Father, mother, this is a festival gift that Xiao Lai bought for you. This is the festival money for our filial piety to you. You can buy whatever you want in the future. Tell me if you need anything." Song Gang directly stated his intention when he entered the door.Of course, by the way, he gave Song Lai a wave of goodwill.

"You guys, just come and bring so many things with you. Both of us don't need anything. Let Chaoyang make up for it. You seem to be stronger and energetic. But still a little thin." Master Song saw the three The whole son's family is in good spirits and a little happy.Now he occasionally goes out, and those old folks in the village often praise his third son this and that, which makes his old face look a lot brighter.

"Grandpa, I'm not thin." Song Chaoyang hurriedly said, his body shape is standard for a handsome man, okay?Song Zhaoyang thinks a little narcissistically (but there is a kind of thinness that grandpa sees you thin).

Song Chaoyang had an awkward chat with his grandparents for a while, and he had no experience in making the elderly happy, so he just asked and answered.At this time Song Youcai took the lead, this sweet talk, spouting lotus flowers.Coax grandparents into laughter.Then he gave Song Zhaoyang a provocative look.Song Zhaoyang was relieved to see someone chatting with him, thank you very much, brother.He returned Song Youcai's sincere smile.Haha, classmate Song Youcai felt as if he had eaten shit.You put a big move, and people dismiss it, which is quite ugly.

After this little episode, old man Song and Song Gang talked about letting their family celebrate the New Year’s Eve in the old house. Although they separated, the brothers broke their bones and connected their tendons. As long as they are still alive, they will be together forever on New Year’s Eve Pass.

Of course, Song Gang had no way to refuse. Looking at his father's hopeful expression, he suddenly felt a little sad.After separation, my little family is free, but the parents see less and less of their sons and grandchildren.Thinking of the miserable life he and Song Lai will have if the brat doesn't come home often when he gets old.

After thinking about it, he glared at Song Chaoyang, brat.Song Zhaoyang was quite speechless when he saw it. What's wrong with him, he didn't do anything.Dad, come and see.Although he didn't know why, he bravely hid behind Song Lai.

After leaving Song's old house, the three went home and started cleaning again (as requested by Song Lai).Song Gang and his son are full of helplessness, haven't they just finished cleaning? "Hurry up, Brother Gang, move these logs over there, Chaoyang, and clean the small kitchen again... I'll go and prepare things for the sacrificial stove." Song Lai started spinning as soon as he got home.

Song Gang and his son cleaned up according to their duties, fearing that they would be caught by the little tail.Song Lai attached great importance to this sacrifice to the stove, and prepared the offerings and stove candies. When the cigarettes rose slowly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.I pray that Prince Zao Zhao will not speak ill of his family, and that the coming year will be smooth and prosperous.

In the evening, regardless of their exhaustion, the three of them made another meal of delicious dumplings to comfort today's hard work.The folks have had a sacrifice to the stove, that is, the new year.The year is finally here.

The author has something to say:

Is mahjong a token of love?Will Song Chaoyang regret his feat today?
