In the past few years, several families had various frictions, but during the Chinese New Year, everyone must say something nice. When everyone gathered together to talk, they seemed to be in harmony.
To outsiders, it seems that their family is prosperous, harmonious, and harmonious.
His eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law did not shame his uncle's family, and did not hit the smiling person with their hands. Moreover, several years have passed, and their family is now considered wealthy. They have extra money at their disposal, and they don't care so much about thousands of dollars.
After all, they are still relatives, and they have learned a lesson.
In short, there is nothing more important than celebrating the New Year happily.
The old lady was all smiles when she saw that there were so many young people at the door of her house. They had never been so full.
She said with emotion: "It would be great if so many people came here every New Year."
"Then if you live a few more years, you can see it every year."
He remembered that it was in 1987 that the old lady fell on the steps of the back door of her hometown and died.
I said I got up early in the morning to water the vegetable fields, it was spring.
Fortunately, he was at home for the first half of this year, so he could give me some more advice and keep an eye on him.
The steps in front of my house now are not very high, and the yard is less slippery. They are much better than the high steps at the back door of my old home.
If he hadn't fallen, he should be fine for a few more years.
The old lady smiled and said, "I've had enough food for my age, but now my life is so easy, I have to live a little longer."
"The days will be better in the future. You haven't ridden in a car yet, so you have to look forward to it."
"Okay, then I'll look forward to it."
The children at home are divided into several groups, boys and girls, and there is a circle for each age group.
The nine children of the three brothers' family were like stars holding the moon, surrounded by a group of people, and then showed everyone their various toys, making everyone jealous.
Several games were played at the card table at the door, and it was rare for women to play a table.
The first day of the new year is a rare break. All the work that should be done was done the day before. Today, women only need to dress up brightly and then visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings and have fun.
Lin Xiuqing also put on a bright red cotton-padded jacket. Although she didn't put on much makeup, she did wear lipstick. Her face was naturally rosy and she looked particularly good. Then she was surrounded by a group of people talking and complimenting her.
Ye Yaodong thought that it was still a bit simple, but there was no way. There were no cosmetics in China now. They lived in rural areas, and the women were primitive, and makeup was not popular.
It’s better to stop painting. The painting is so beautiful. What should I do if he’s not at home?
His mother looked like a peacock, smiling and wearing red and gold and silver as she walked through the crowd.
Only then did he remember why his father and mother were the only ones wearing gold, but neither the old lady nor Ah Qing were wearing them.
This New Year’s Eve...
He turned around and asked the old lady beside him, "Why don't you wear gold?"
"I'll save it..."
"What to save? If you don't wear it during the Chinese New Year, when will you wear it? Just bring it to others to see. It's rare that there are so many people this year. I bought it just for you to wear. Forget it if you don't wear it normally. Why don't you wear it during the Chinese New Year?
."
"Then...then I'll go get Dai."
The old lady then went into the house again.
Ye Yaodong also shouted to Lin Xiuqing and asked her to come over.
Lin Xiuqing thought something was wrong, but unexpectedly she was asked why she didn't wear gold.
"Be careful. Our family has made a lot of money this year. There is no need to wear all these things. It's fine if dad and mom wear them."
"I will wait until I return to my parents' home tomorrow, and then go to my godfather and stepmother to pay New Year's greetings the day after tomorrow before wearing it. It will just make you look good. There is no need to wear it in the village now."
There is some truth in what he said. There is no need to be like the nouveau riche and the whole family is rich.
"That's true, then you can wear it again tomorrow and go back to your parents' home to enjoy the scenery."
She responded with a smile.
At this time, the old lady also put on gold earrings and gold rings and walked out.
You can't tell whether there is a necklace inside the cotton-padded jacket, and the wrists are also covered by clothes, so they don't look that high-profile. Instead, there are gold rings exposed on the fingers holding the crutches, which looks a bit noble.
"This is so pretty..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "It looks very rich."
"The main thing is that the wig Dongzi bought has black hair, which makes it look younger, and the clothes you made are also good-looking."
After speaking, the old lady looked happy and went to talk to the old lady nearby. She also had friends, and she usually had company when she chanted sutras, worshiped Buddha and offered incense.
"I remember picking up a bunch of raw coral branches of various colors a few years ago..."
"You still have the nerve to say that it's just a box. It's not of much use. You won't let me throw away the big ones, and they take up space. So take a box and put it in the corner."
"Red and gold look better together. Another day, I will pick out a few bright red branches with a more positive color and take them to the store to make a button. They can be used as pendants for gold necklaces."
"As soon as you think about it, it comes out. What's there to see?"
Ye Yaodong looked like you don't understand. Although these bits and pieces are not particularly valuable in the future, the bright red ones are more expensive than gold and are not easy to buy. Fishing is illegal.
Gold jewelry can also be distinctive with a little embellishment.
Lin Xiuqing changed the topic and said: "I just heard from everyone that the rat came back yesterday afternoon, but he didn't bring a woman home this time. His ex-wife was still at his house celebrating the New Year, and it looked like he was living a normal life."
"But I heard that Awei was different. I heard that Wang Chuyun came back with them and held his arm until they entered the village."
"A sharp-eyed woman saw them on the road, and then followed them into the village. The news about the nose and eyes was reported last night, but it didn't spread so widely. Everyone was busy having New Year's Eve dinner and washing up."
Ye Yaodong sat lazily. This was not that unusual. There had been signs of it for a long time. The woman was also divorced, so she wasn't that big of a deal.
"It's a pity. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so we definitely can't fight."
She smiled and said: "Watching the fun is not too big a deal. Who is the biggest quarrel during the New Year? This rabbit doesn't eat grass from the edge of the nest, so why are they still together? No wonder the two can be friends, and one eats grass from the edge of the nest.
If you bring something home from outside, it is not a good thing."
"Yes, no wonder they broke up with us. They are not from the same group. Our friends are very decent, not like them."
"The news about An Ansheng today may not have reached his wife's ears yet. It may not be easy to tell in a few days."
"Never mind them, watch them if there is excitement, forget it if there is no excitement, his is not that good-looking, I prefer to see the mouse. I heard you tell me how exciting it is. The two girls of Ye Yu are probably older than the Chinese New Year.
It's hard to bring people back, and they have to go home to celebrate the New Year, which is a pity for an annual drama."
"I don't know what kind of money they make outside..."
"No matter what they are, they will eventually explode."
The couple hadn't even chatted for a while when they heard that there was a fight between children over there, and Lin Xiuqing hurried to have a look.
Ye Yaodong sat steadily. How could a child not fight? As long as there was no serious head injury or bleeding, it would not be a big problem.
However, he watched for a while, and it seemed that his children were fighting? And was it a group fight? His two sisters-in-law also ran over.
He followed curiously.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got close, I heard Ye Chenghe's harsh words, "Don't let me hear your nonsense, or you'll beat me every time I see you..."
Sister-in-law Ye pulled him and cursed: "Look at what you can do. Who do you think you are?"
"He was the one who called Chen Xiuni my child bride. He said that I bought her back with a card. He also said that he also had a card. He also said that I acted like a hooligan and lost my popularity..."
"I'm not wrong...Ye Chenghe, you are just shameless and acting like a gangster..." A boy who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old shouted there.
Ye Chenghe's arm was grabbed, and he rushed forward, kicking people, and almost couldn't catch them.
Second Sister-in-law Ye was also scolding Ye Chengjiang, "It's none of your business, you just follow the fight."
"Of course I want to help Chenghe..."
Lin Xiuqing held Ye Chenghu with one hand and Ye Chengyang with the other, "You two are so big-ass but you still want to join in the fun. Looking at your behavior, you want to be whipped on the first day of this year..."
These two people were also shouting, "We can't let them bully others."
"They beat my brother..."
Ye Chenghe was still shouting, "Wait for me, you idiot..."
Ye Yaodong was dumbfounded when he heard this. It turned out that he was angry at the beauty.
Out of business.
"If you can make an appointment, you'd be a coward if you don't..."
Sister-in-law Ye slapped her in the face and said, "Be more honest and come back to me. You have to let me beat someone on New Year's Day."
The women around helped to pull the people. These half-grown teenagers were very strong. They couldn't pull them alone, and there was nothing they could do with them.
Everyone picked up one of them and dragged them home.
Among them, Ye Chenghe was the most difficult to drag. The old mother grabbed the others casually, glared at them, and followed them home obediently, where they were scolded.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also followed Lin Xiuqing home with their heads drooped.
Ye Yaodong walked leisurely behind, sulking as he watched Ye Cheng being dragged back by the river in amusement.
"I'm not wrong, he was talking nonsense..."
"Obviously he deserves a beating..."
"Next time I see him, I will still beat him and tell him to talk nonsense..."
"I finally asked Chen Xiuni to come over today and bought her a New Year's gift from the city. It's all because of this bastard..."
"I just want to beat him to death..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't stop laughing when he heard him snarling there. He wanted to go home with him and listen to what he had left unsaid.
The adults around them also understood why these young boys were fighting, and they were all dumbfounded. It felt so funny.
Big kids, even in junior high school, started fighting over their female classmates.
"Chenghe is quite good at protecting his female classmates, haha..."
"You are promising. Isn't your Ah Hai now 17? He can also marry a wife next year..."
Ye Yaodong wanted to hear what else Ye Chenghe had to say, so he didn't go back to his home. He just stood in the open space in front of his two brothers' houses, listening to Ye Chenghe being scolded, and then continued to talk.
"I just like her, no one can say anything about her..."
Sister-in-law Ye almost laughed out of anger at him, "You are quite capable, and you shout so loudly, how old are you?"
"I will be 15 during the Chinese New Year. I will marry her back in a few years. You can save more money for me..."
Ye Yaodong laughed loudly at the door, "Brother, it seems you have to earn more money as gifts, otherwise, you will go and decide on your daughter-in-law in advance tomorrow?"
Ye Yaopeng had a look of helplessness on his face, "How young is he? He keeps talking about his love all day long. How could we have ever been like him before? He is so bold."
"Hahaha."
Ye Yaodong put his hand on Ye Chenghai's shoulder again, "Your brother is so promising, what about you?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Third Uncle, he is just a fool. If no one in the school knows about it, he will run after Chen Xiuni."
"You've learned how to ride a motorcycle, but if you can't pick up girls..."
"I still have something to do, I'll leave first..."
Ye Chenghai shrugged his shoulders, escaped from his clutches, and then ran away quickly to save his third uncle from asking questions later.
Ye Yaodong listened to the bustle of curses in the house for a while, and then walked back to his home, where his two family members were also scolded.
"Take off your coat and wipe it clean, as well as your pants. Look at you, you are still fighting in a group, and you are covered in dirt. Do you know it's the first day of the new year?"
"I'm going to be a guest tomorrow and the day after. I can't even wear new clothes for half a day, so I might as well wear tattered clothes and make people laugh to death."
Ye Chenghu muttered quietly while taking off his clothes, "I'm not wrong, I'm helping Brother Chenghe..."
"Don't fight with others again, otherwise you won't be able to go out with me as a guest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Going to..."
"Just be honest if you want to go."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Chenghe is quite capable. He can exchange cards for his wife. It seems that your son can exchange beads for his wife..."
"No, my beads belong to me." Ye Chenghu quickly objected.
"Nothing to show for it."
Lin Xiuqing also said: "What did you use those two jars of glass beads for? To eat them."
"I won that all."
"I'll throw it all away to you tomorrow."
"No." He turned around and ran upstairs with a bang, preparing to hide more tightly.
Lin Xiuqing didn't want to throw away the leftover cans and glass bottles at home, so she collected them all.
When necessary, you can also put other sundries such as needlework or small household change.
Ye Chenghu lay on the floor and played marbles every day, and unexpectedly he saved two cans.
There were colorful marbles inside. He was like a treasure. One day he hid it under the quilt, the next day he hid it under the bed, and the day after that he hid it in the closet, for fear that Ye Chengyang would steal it.
"It's hopeless. None of them are as good as Ye Chenghe. At least he knows how to book a wife early."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "Don't come here, I don't want to be a grandma in my thirties."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It's good. You can become a grandma when you are in your fifties. When you are 80, you can have five generations living under the same roof. Isn't that good? There are many descendants. If you live longer, you can live to be 100.
If you are six years old and have six generations living under the same roof, that would be extraordinary."
What Lin Xiuqing said to him was funny, "It's quite beautiful to think about. Isn't it so easy to live so easy?"
"Isn't it quite simple? The old lady is 85 years old this year, and soon six generations will live under the same roof."
"Then work hard."
