On New Year's Eve, the family reunited and the whole family was happy. The quality of life of the Wang family has improved a lot compared to previous years. The key is that Wang Manyin has changed. He did not hang out this year. Even Orchid showed a rare emotion. He was in high spirits and drank a lot of rice wine.
.
The alcohol content of rice wine is not high, but I couldn't help but drink it as water. After Orchid drank a few bowls, she still started to get drunk.
The best thing to do after drinking too much is to rest. Both children have very stable biological clocks and cannot stay up late.
Now even Orchid needs to sleep, leaving Wang Manyin alone without any entertainment, so naturally he can't stay up all night. Wang Manyin packed the things on the kang table into the cupboard, simply washed the adults and children, and rested together.
On New Year's Day, people in northern Shaanxi don't go out, and it's not just northern Shaanxi that doesn't go out. Most places don't go out. Of course, not going out doesn't mean you don't go out. You still have to walk around in the village.
"System, sign in!"
"Congratulations to the host for receiving: two yuan in cash and one piece of Jingba pastry."
Wang Manyin was complaining that the system was stingy and didn't do critical hits on New Year's Day. Although Wang Manyin still missed the taste of Jingba Pie, one portion was really not much.
"Man Yin, I drank too much yesterday, didn't I?"
I heard the sound of orchids. I went to bed early and naturally woke up early. Today orchids also woke up earlier than usual.
"Well, you drank too little, and rice wine is also intoxicating. If you drink too much, just go to bed. It's okay. You won't cause trouble."
"Is this something to cause trouble? I made a plan yesterday to watch the dumplings together after dinner." Lan Hua said angrily.
The main food on New Year's Day here in northern Shaanxi is dumplings, which are eaten in the morning and at noon.
"It doesn't matter. I came in time. The stuffing and noodles are ready. I'll wash up and make them together with you later."
Although Wang Manyin did not forget to make dumplings yesterday, making dumplings alone did not create the atmosphere of reunion, so he was lazy.
Two people can make dumplings very quickly, and the whole family can't eat many. It doesn't delay Mao Dan and Gou Dan from eating dumplings after they wake up.
After eating and drinking, Wang Manyin still had to walk around with his mother-in-law and children to pay New Year greetings. Needless to say, people named Wang had to go to more than a dozen places. This was because Wang Manyin was the elder.
Then there are some families with elderly people at home, members of the production team, good relations, neighbors, and almost a third of the Can Village has been transferred.
Mao Dan and Gou Dan harvested some candies, and Wang Manyin himself drank a lot of rice wine.
If you are not a close relative, you will lose the New Year's money. It is not easy in most rural areas. There are dozens or hundreds of children in the village. If each child is given ten cents, it will cost several yuan. Naturally, the New Year's money will not become popular.
Gu Gu Village is not big, so it was still early after walking around. Wang Manyin and Lan Hua returned home and put the peanuts, melon seeds, candies, red dates, and rice wine on plates on the Kang table, waiting to entertain the children who came to pay New Year greetings.
.
A lot of peanuts and melon seeds are planted in the village, but the land is barren. These oil crops must first complete the tasks that need to be paid to the state, and not many are distributed to individuals. Peanuts and melon seeds are not only rare in cities, but also in rural areas.
It's rare. Except for entertaining relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, you really can't eat it on ordinary days.
Naturally, most of the people who come to Wang Manyin's house are children, and the oldest ones are Satisfied and Jianguo.
Of course, there is no new year's money, but Wang Manyin is still not that short of peanuts, melon seeds, and candies. When he sees the children he likes or the children in need at home, Wang Manyin tries his best to give them as much as possible.
Seeing the children gathering together to play and visit each other, Mao Dan and Gou Dan's hearts flew outside. Mao Dan was also five years old and told Mao Dan to keep up with the older children and take good care of them.
My brother also asked two people to go out together.
After another meal of dumplings at noon, we were free to move around in the afternoon. The villagers gathered in groups of twos and threes to play cards, chess, chat, and even drink.
The most lively part is the brigade headquarters, which has the largest space and the most people gathering together. The most popular people are those who work outside and can bring back the latest information and gossip. Wang Manyin was also a popular person before, but this year he will no longer go out if he doesn’t go out.
It's the focus.
On the second day of the second lunar month, it is customary for a married daughter to return to her parents' home, and a nephew to go to his uncle's home. Wang Manyin came to Shuangshui Village again.
The distance was too close, so there was no need to rush early. After arriving at the Sun family, everyone from the Sun family was there, including Sun Shaoan and Xiulian. Xiulian's natal family was in Shanxi, across the Yellow River. The two of them had only been married for a few days, so they naturally did not go back.
.
Although Wang Manyin's family was the guest of honor, there were so many people there that they didn't feel it was any different than usual, so lunch was better than usual. According to the rules, the son-in-law should also follow his daughter and visit her relatives.
But among the Sun family's relatives who are close and distant, there is only the Sun Yuting family. Not to mention that Wang Manyin is unwilling to go now. He has not been there since Wang Manyin and Lanhua got married. Sun Yuhou did not force it, and Sun Yuting and his wife did not take care of the family.
If you go there, you won’t even have a place to stay, so it’s okay if you don’t go.
However, the atmosphere in the Sun family this year is still good. Wang Manyin doesn't go out and wander around, which can be regarded as a change of heart and a problem that has solved Sun Yuhou's heart.
Shaoan also married Xiulian, had an aunt in law, and was about to have a grandson in front of him.
No matter what Sun Shaoping did in school, the Sun family didn't know, but the two-year high school career was halfway through, and the high school diploma was only half obtained. It was a joy to have a cultured person in the family.
Not to mention Lan Xiang, who always ranks first in studies, is usually well-behaved and sensible, and has never let her family worry.
According to tradition, in the few days after the third grade of junior high school, Wang Manyinang was supposed to go out to visit relatives, but Wang Manyinang died early. Her family was poor, and she was a second-rate person, so she had long lost contact with her maternal uncle's relatives.
Wang Manyin had three days of leisure and freedom, drinking and bragging with his close friends. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he started working on the infrastructure construction site again. Others had to earn a centimeter from the infrastructure construction site, and the sheep had to come by themselves. Wang Manyin's holiday was just that.
At the end of the day, the villagers of Guan Village rested for almost ten days from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
This is already a long break. Because of Bai Mingchuan, Shigejie Commune is quite considerate of the people, and the infrastructure construction site has been suspended for such a long time.
Not to mention far away, let's talk about Liucha Commune, which is not far from Shige Festival. Party secretary Zhou Wenlong was a high school classmate of Shige Festival Party Secretary Bai Mingchuan. Because Party Secretary Zhou Wenlong was very enthusiastic about infrastructure construction, he only took a day off for the first two days of the 30th day.
Farmers only have about ten days of rest and vacation per year. Plus, there are cloudy and rainy days and they can't go out in the mountains. If they don't ask for leave, they will have to work for more than 300 days a year.
