635 [Treading the Threshold]
Song Family, the second day of the Lunar New Year—
It's eight o'clock in the morning.
Rural people usually get up very early during the Chinese New Year. One is the habit of working in the fields, and the other is that they must get up early during the Chinese New Year and cannot sleep in.
So when the Song family's big rooster with a big red cockscomb was chuckling, Song Haiming and his wife Wang Jinfeng had already gotten up and made fire to make meals.
The younger sister Song Yuqing didn't stay in bed, so she got up early in the morning to draw her eyebrows and paint her eyebrows, humming songs and dress up. For the New Year, the girls are just happy, calling friends, and getting together to eat, drink and play.
The Song family is very diligent, and the only person who stays in bed is Song Zhichao.
For Song Zhichao, he hated such cold weather in the middle of winter, so why did he go out to visit relatives? Even if Zhao Jinbao left the car for him, Song Zhichao still liked to stay in the quilt - listening to the whistling wind outside the window, Song Zhichao felt the value of staying in the quilt more and more. In addition, he really missed Hong Kong, Pan Yu, and the warm spring weather over there.
My father Song Haiming thought that what happened yesterday had "been hit" Song Zhichao, so he didn't call him to get up.
My mother, Wang Jinfeng, is another person who feels sorry for her son. Moreover, Song Zhichao is different from before. He is the big boss. Of course, the big boss wants to enjoy his life, so he asked her husband Song Haiming to visit relatives alone.
The wind was blowing and the cold was so cold that he looked at the heated Santana parked outside, but Song Haiming could only watch it - he couldn't drive it, and he didn't dare to drive it.
I could only dream secretly in my heart - my son drove his car and took him to his relatives, and he looked majestic all the way, pulling him from east to west.
After Wang Jinfeng tied all the gifts used to visit relatives in a sack, he tied them to the back of the bicycle ass as before, and then told Song Haiming to be careful all the way and not to overturn the car - the car can overturn and people can fall, but these gifts cannot be broken, especially those canned foods, which are precious!
Song Haiming rolled his eyes, thinking that his wife was too bad and would rather worry about the canned food than care about her old arms and legs.
At this time, Wang Jinfeng took the newly knitted thick scarf, surrounded Song Haiming in circles, two and three circles, and said, "Don't be frozen!"
Song Haiming: “…”
I smiled "hehe" in my heart, but my wife still loved me.
At this moment, a cold thing fell on his head.
Song Haiming looked up and saw that the sky began to rise again at some point, falling down one by one.
So, Song Haiming deliberately yelled at his son's room: "Wow, it's snowing again! There's too much snow this year! It's hard to walk on this road!"
Unfortunately, there was no movement.
Song Haiming was a little disappointed. He looked at the messy things on the bicycle, then looked at the snow-covered sedan parked outside, and swallowed hard.
At this time, his daughter Song Yuqing dressed up well, and ran out like a sparrow and said that she wanted to visit relatives with Song Haiming.
Song Haiming glanced at his daughter, wearing a small flower jacket, peacock-like hairstyle, and eye shadow, and dressed more beautifully. Of course, he understood her thoughts, but maybe he wanted to get some New Year's money. Rural people are very simple, and many times children can still receive New Year's money.
Song Haiming said that he would not go to what should go, and he had to go to what should not go. He was unwilling to take his daughter there, and felt that taking her there would be a shame for New Year's money.
Song Yuqing refused to let go, pestering her father, shook her shoulders, and acting coquettishly.
My mother Wang Jinfeng took out a purse from the house and opened it. It was some prepared New Year's money, all of which were two or five yuan, and she said to Song Haiming, "Take her there - it's even more troublesome to stay at home. I don't do anything, I can only watch TV!"
"If anyone gives her New Year's money, you just watch the other person's children return, so no one will suffer any losses!"
Song Haiming took the purse and said, "What if they don't have children?"
"Don't worry! Then you won't stuff money into gifts, just say you're buying less, these are supplements!"
"Oh!" Song Haiming felt that what his wife said was right - it was wrong.
After packing up everything, Song Haiming asked his daughter Song Yuqing to ride a bicycle, but it was the women's car used to go to school. This car was "packed" by Song Haiming for fifty dollars from a relative in the city. The brand was very good, it was from the Phoenix brand. Although it was very old, it was well kept by Song Haiming, and the silver-white beam was even more spotless.
The father and daughter each pushed their bicycles. Just as they were about to leave the door, Song Zhichao got up, put on his clothes, came out of the room, and then shouted to his father Song Haiming: "It's snowing - I'll go with you!" After that, he lit up the car keys in his hand.
Before Song Haiming could speak, Song Yuqing was already excited: "Oh, I have a car to sit!"
My mother Wang Jinfeng felt sorry for her son, "Why don't you sleep for a while - don't worry about them, they can't freeze."
"No, I can't sleep even if I lie in bed." Song Zhichao said, starting to wash and wipe his face.
My mother Wang Jinfeng brought him the soup and rice again.
Song Zhichao took a few simple bites. At this time, his father Song Haiming and younger sister Song Yuqing had quickly loaded all the gifts from visiting relatives into the car. Song Yuqing even sat in the car and refused to get out, saying that the car was warm.
After Song Zhichao was ready, his mother Wang Jinfeng stuffed him another piece of clothing. Zhier is better than his mother, and said, "If you are afraid of the cold, just wear one more piece of clothing."
Song Zhichao put on his clothes, then said goodbye to his mother, opened the car door, sat in, and prepared to start the car, accompanying his father and younger sister to visit relatives.
But before the car started, we saw two people coming from a distance, riding motorcycles, and greeting them from afar, "Brother Song, it's the New Year, we're here to greet you!"
Sitting in the passenger seat and preparing to enjoy the car again, Song Haiming looked closely, but they were the brothers Song Jianguo and Song Jianjun who had just met yesterday.
Logically, they have higher seniority and should have only been here in the third and fourth grades of the lunar calendar. Why did they come so early this year?
Before Song Haiming got out of the car and greeted them, he heard another voice saying, "Haiming, we are here to wish you a happy new year too!"
After seeing again, my fourth uncle and son came along the way.
"And we are here too!" A tricycle drove over from the north end, and Song Haiming's third uncle was also here!
"You are all very early, we are here too!" Looking at Nantou again, Song Haiming's eldest uncle also came.
At this moment, guests came from east, west, south, north and west.
The gate of the Song family immediately became lively.
On the contrary, Song Haiming, the owner of the home family, was stunned. He was originally going to visit relatives to see these elders, so what happened? Why did these elders come to see him?
Chapter completed!
