Chapter 593 New Year's Eve
Canghai drank a lot of wine at night. The next day, not only did he get up late, but he also forgot about having to clean up the mess. The things in the village were usually hot for two or three minutes. There was no big wave of arguments like a mess. No one was in front of Canghai. When Canghai got leisurely, he forgot about what he was doing.
The people on Shang Qingyun's side were eager for everyone to mention it, so the matter quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
As the days pass by day, we are getting closer and closer to our new body. The atmosphere of the New Year in the village is also getting stronger and stronger. There are not many families coming to the village for the New Year. For example, Shi Zhenbang's family went to Shijie's house for the New Year, while Qi Yue's family was preparing to take advantage of the New Year to go abroad for a family trip. Teacher Guan Qidong's family is not here either, as if it is because there are relatives in the family this year.
None of the families here often came, and the people living in the village went home one after another to celebrate the New Year. Now there are only the people in Sijiaping Village and the few outsiders left in the whole village.
Early in the morning, Canghai got up and started working hard. Because I wanted to deliver New Year's goods to everyone, it was necessary for my father-in-law's family to have one. Qi Yue's family doesn't have to give it to me today. Because I went abroad to play, Canghai's teacher Guan Qidong is also indispensable. In addition, there are Gu Han and Liu Li, Canghai's friends, have also prepared a small amount. As for Wen Yidao, I won't mention it. He likes whatever he wants, and Canghai doesn't need Canghai to prepare it specifically.
"Don't put the salted duck eggs there, don't forget when you leave," Shi Wei said to Canghai.
After hearing this, Cang Hai immediately reached out and picked up the salted duck eggs placed on the table: "Dad, are you going to eat this thing every day during the Chinese New Year?"
Shi Wei said: "No, it was my mother who said it specifically, saying that my uncle likes to eat this. Last time I gave my uncle about ten, and he ate it for almost half a month..."
When Cang Hai stopped talking when he heard Shi Wei say this.
The couple was busy, and Hu Shijie walked in outside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw so many things in the room, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Good guy, are you going to move?"
Hu Shijie saw that there were fish and meat in the house, and there were fruits in addition to these. Just by looking at Hu Shijie, he knew that this was a fruit grown by himself in the village.
I took an apple from the small basket in my hand and wiped it on my body. I took a bite of sweetness and felt a little sour in it, which made me feel very refreshing.
"The fruits in the village are still delicious! I will plant a few more fruit trees when the spring is blooming next year," said Hu Shijie.
Cang Hai asked, "What? There is not enough food at home?"
Hu Shijie nodded: "It's enough. The fruits we produce have been eaten up as soon as winter begins. We are not as simple as your family. The fruits we have to ask for at least twenty households. It's not good to give to any one or more. You can't give them too stingy. You can't give them three or five pounds. You can give them such a small basket to your own house and eat them. It's already good to be able to last until the winter begins."
Hu Shijie planted quite a few fruits, but as he said, there are many relatives, and neither of his two sons' families have planted fruit trees. Can't the fruits given to others be produced from Hu Shijie's house?
As he was talking, Zhang Jiusheng's voice came from outside: "Canghai, are you ready? Come on and move the car up as soon as possible. We are going to set off."
After the words came, the person stood in the house. Seeing Hu Shijie also there, Zhang Jiusheng bowed his hand at Hu Shijie: "Grandpa Hu, I wish you a happy New Year first and wish you an early life!"
Hu Shijie smiled and nodded slightly, and then joked with Zhang Jiusheng: "You guy is fine and don't stay at home. Why are you running outside during the New Year? I haven't heard any reports on TV. When Chinese people celebrate the New Year, Europe is full of Chinese faces!"
Zhang Jiusheng's family is not at home for the New Year this year. They are not going to Europe as Hu Shijie mentioned, but to New Zealand. Not long ago, Zhang Jiusheng built a house in New Zealand. It was said that the door was facing the sea and the flowers bloomed. The family took advantage of the freshness to go on vacation. They originally called Canghai's family, but Canghai and his wife really didn't want to run around during the New Year, so they decided to stay in the village to celebrate the New Year honestly.
"It's too cold here during the Chinese New Year. Let's change to a warmer place. We are going to the southern hemisphere. It's summer now, which is opposite to the climate here. Why don't you go with me and take you to the beach and see the foreign girl in the water!" Zhang Jiusheng joked.
After hearing this, Hu Shijie stretched out his legs and tried to kick the kid, but Zhang Jiusheng gave up easily.
“All of them?”
"All!" Cang Hai nodded.
Zhang Jiusheng sighed: "Good guy, after being friends with you, you don't need to buy things during the Chinese New Year, just give it to you."
Cang Hai smiled and said, "It's not something valuable!"
"I didn't see you selling it to me if I don't have any value!" Zhang Jiusheng smiled and said to Canghai.
The things in Canghai’s family are delicious, and are now recognized by the whole village. Whether it is meat or pickled, Canghai’s family is the most important. However, everyone can buy cattle and sheep, such as bacon, which is not easy to open their mouths. After all, every household has the habit of pickling them and cannot count on the little things that Canghai’s family pickled.
"Pack it!"
Cang Hai took out the bamboo basket next to the door and placed the items that had been divided on the table one by one. Hu Shijie and Zhang Jiusheng also came to help when they saw this. With the busy work of the four, they quickly picked up the things.
While waiting for the things to be transported into the car, snowflakes began to float in the sky.
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year will surely be another good year!"
Seeing the snowflakes falling, Hu Shijie, who had just finished getting on the car, took off his gloves and gently picked up a piece of snowflakes. Seeing the snowflakes slowly turned into a small water stain on his palm, he said with a smile.
Zhang Jiusheng's next sentence lost all the literary spirit that Hu Shijie finally managed to hold up.
"Then let's go quickly, so as not to be difficult to walk on the road when the snow is heavy! That, Canghai, Shiwei, I'm leaving, Grandpa Hu, don't post an article and be popular. Go home early and squat on the kang to play mahjong," Zhang Jiusheng said with a smile.
Hu Shijie said: "You kid can't stop being so philanthropist?"
"I am just a small businessman. Why do I do if I don't make a fuss? I'm OK, if I don't talk, I have to leave quickly. How long will the snow last?"
As he said that, Zhang Jiusheng signaled his workers to drive the car, then waved his hand at Canghai and ran towards his house with a trot.
Cang Hai and Shi Wei and his wife sent Zhang Jiusheng away and Hu Shijie away.
After entering the house, Shi Wei remembered: "Canghai, send these two baskets of fruit to Grandpa Hu's house."
"Where did it come from?" Cang Hai looked at the fruits in the house curiously. The things in the house were all given to people, and he didn't see Shi Wei going to the water tower. Why did he suddenly have two extra baskets of fruits?
Canghai came to the small basket and opened it to see that the box above was exactly the small apple that Hu Shijie had just eaten, and the basket below was pear. It was said that the basket was not big, and each basket could only hold about ten kilograms of fruit.
Nowadays, Canghai is not as fierce as before. They are all small baskets of about ten pounds, picking up four or five, or picking up four or six baskets to get auspicious numbers. The total amount is almost fifty or sixty pounds, which is enough for a normal family of four or five to have a good New Year.
"I took it out of the pile of things that I gave to my brother's house," Shi Wei said.
Cang Hai said Wuxin: "Don't Yan Li's mother likes to eat fruits? Shi Jie also asked you to give more!"
Shi Wei said: "If her mother likes to eat, she can buy it by herself. Why does my sister have to care whether my brother and mother-in-law like it or not?"
Cang Hai immediately understood that when it comes to seeing the child, Shi Wei still had a knot and felt that Shi Jie's mother-in-law was a bit unauthentic.
Of course, Cang Hai's position has always been very stable. He is completely on the side of his wife. In fact, the couple understand that the things given to Shijie were almost all sent to his mother-in-law. This is normal now. As for the more powerful women in the family, the parents' family will naturally get more benefits. How could he say that having a son is a loss of money? He rushed to pay for a house and a car to marry him, but the result was that there was a free long-term worker on the other end of the in-laws.
It’s just that he’s standing by, Canghai doesn’t want to have nothing to do with other people’s affairs.
As for the fruits that were not eaten by Shi Jie's mother-in-law, it was even more nonsense. Cang Hai did not expect this at all. Hearing Shi Wei seized the fruits from Shi Jie, he held them in his hand and walked towards Hu Shijie's house without saying a word.
When I arrived at Grandpa Hu’s house, I found that the old man was practicing calligraphy alone in the house.
"Look, I didn't mean to ask you to bring fruits!" Hu Shijie saw Cang Hai carrying two baskets, and immediately put down the pen in his hand awkwardly and said.
Cang Hai said with a smile: "You are an elder. You have to remember that we are younger generations. Don't be polite. This fruit was taken down by Shi Wei from his younger brother..."
When Hu Shijie heard the secret, he had to smile. Seeing Canghai put down his things, he said to Canghai: "Come here and see, how do I write these two words?"
Calligraphy was brought and promoted by two old men, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng. Now the old men in the village practice it when they have nothing to do, and they write it in a very good manner from time to time. Of course, no one can say that it is a big difference. But the writing is straight and firm, and it looks quite regular.
"No, not bad, what you wrote has the essence of three parts of the body!" Cang Hai praised it very hypocritical.
Hu Shijie knew about his own affairs and didn't care about Canghai's nonsense. He looked at the works in front of him and began to tell Canghai the shortcomings.
After talking for a while, the old man let Canghai leave.
