Not long after, all the neighbors in the compound got up.
Because after He Yuzhu left, Lin Fan heated up the food he was going to eat this morning, and then lit it with a thousand rings.
The crackling sound immediately woke up everyone in the compound, but no one was angry, so they all got up and went out with their own firecrackers to set off.
Only then did the neighbors get organized.
After breakfast, there will be a meeting in the compound, a group worship meeting on the first day of the new year.
It's also because everyone's conditions are not good. Not only is it troublesome to send New Year's greetings to each family, but they also have to prepare New Year's money.
So several elders discussed and came up with this group worship party, so that everyone can have fun together and save New Year's money.
So after breakfast, everyone in the compound came to the middle courtyard in twos and threes, waiting for the group worship meeting to begin.
On the table in the middle courtyard were peanuts and melon seeds brought out by everyone in the courtyard. Thinking of celebrating the New Year, wouldn't it be missing something if this small gathering didn't have peanuts and melon seeds?
Lin Fan was having breakfast when he heard a knock on the door outside. It was the second uncle Liu Haizhong.
He is responsible for notifying people who have not arrived in the backyard.
Lin Fan opened the door and saw Liu Haizhong, and said, "Hey, it's the second uncle. It's a great Chinese New Year. What's the matter with you coming to see me this early in the morning?"
"Happy New Year, um, we are planning to organize something in the courtyard to celebrate the New Year together, right in the middle courtyard." Liu Haizhong said.
Lin Fan nodded: "I understand, when will it start?"
Liu Haizhong replied: "It's now, I'm here to inform you."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll pack up and be there soon."
Only then did Liu Haizhong leave the backyard with satisfaction.
By the time Lin Fan arrived at the Central Courtyard, many people had already gathered in the Central Courtyard.
The second uncle sat directly in his seat and waited for everyone in the yard to arrive.
The uncle and the eldest mother also came over. The eldest mother was holding a lot of peanuts and melon seeds in her hand. She came to the table and poured them all in.
The two Yan brothers' eyes lit up when they saw it. The peanuts and melon seeds that were originally few were filled again, and the two brothers strode over without any embarrassment.
He reached out and grabbed several handfuls until his pocket was full, then returned to his seat and started to smoke.
The other people on the side didn't say anything, they just rolled their eyes.
The eldest mother cheerfully asked everyone to grab some, and everyone else in the yard stepped forward to grab a little, but didn't take more. There was still a third of the plate left.
They were not so shameless, so everyone took some out. Unexpectedly, the eldest mother was so polite and took so much.
After everyone arrived, Liu Haizhong stood up and prepared to speak.
"This year is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1996. The three of us have discussed it and decided to organize this group New Year greeting."
"Isn't it the Chinese New Year that everyone needs to give their children new year's money? Rich families can still come up with this money, but there are still many families in our yard whose family situation is not good and they can't come up with this money."
"So the three of us discussed that this was not a problem, so we had such a group visit, aiming to bring everyone together to celebrate the New Year, save money on New Year's Eve, and have fun together."
Liu Haizhong's words were agreed by everyone present, and everyone felt that this group visit was very good.
Everyone is deeply touched by the issue of giving out crushed money during the New Year. If you don’t get enough money, you feel like you are losing face. Don’t the people in the 49th Cities only care about face?
There are many children in the yard. If you give one child lucky money, what will the others do?
Don't you want to give it?
Who has he become?
If you give me this new year's money, everyone will not be able to live a good life this year.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Haizhong continued.
"Then the group visit will begin now. Let our highly respected elder say a few words to you first."
Yi Zhonghai stood up at this time and said: "What the second uncle said makes sense. This is the first group meeting this year. We will hold one every year in the future to better connect the feelings between our compounds.
."
"I'm going to show my shame first. Here I wish everyone in the hospital happiness, health, and safety. I wish everyone a happy New Year."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the second uncle’s bangs were next to him. He stood up and said, “First uncle, I wish you all a happy New Year. Then I will write something for you.”
"This couplet is: New weather in the new year, snow in the new year."
"The second line is: Pay attention to form and policy, pay attention to saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new."
Oops!
After the Spring Festival couplets came down, everyone applauded.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows. This second uncle had a lot of skills, but he just didn't know where he got this couplet.
He knew that the second uncle only had a high school education, so how could he produce such high-quality Spring Festival couplets?
"It didn't come from the radio last night, did it?"
Lin Fan's heart moved. It seemed that he really heard it from the radio.
However, Lin Fan didn't say that although the second uncle didn't write it himself, it also represented the second uncle's intention.
Although the main purpose is to show off one's own majesty and overshadow the grand master's limelight.
Next we went to the third uncle Yan Bugui, but at this time Yan Bugui still felt very uncomfortable and felt that his heart was throbbing in pain.
Lin Fan looked over and found that the corners of Yan Bugui's mouth were twitching. It seemed that the third uncle had not recovered from his behavior of asking for lucky money in the morning.
But think about it, the third uncle's character is like this. It's okay to take advantage of others, but if you want to get something out of him, it will be extremely difficult.
He Yuzhu took advantage of the New Year to pay New Year greetings to children to ask for lucky money. As an elder, Yan Bugui could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Sure enough, the third uncle did not say any New Year's greetings after he stood up, but directly aimed at He Yuzhu.
Yan Bugui: "Before New Year greetings, I have something to say to Shazhu."
Yan Bugui then told the story about how the three brothers He Yuzhu and Banggan came to pay New Year greetings early in the morning and asked for New Year's money. If they didn't give the New Year's money, they would kneel down and be unable to get up.
Suddenly Yi Zhonghai's expression changed. What does He Yuzhu want to do during this Chinese New Year?
When it came to asking for lucky money, Xu Damao also stood up and said: "Yes, this Silly Zhu doesn't do anything. Xiao'e and I were still sleeping in the early morning, and Silly Zhu took the three children of Qin Huairu's family and broke into the house.
When he came in, Xiao'e and I were shocked, and he actually said that if we didn't give him the New Year's money, Xiao'e and I wouldn't be able to hold the baby."
"How can anyone teach children like this? Forget about asking for lucky money, and if you ask for it in return, it's only three yuan. How can anyone give so much lucky money?"
Wow~
When they heard that they actually asked for three yuan as lucky money, everyone was shocked and started talking about it.
Yan Bugui and Xu Damao listened to the discussions of the people around them and began to put pressure on He Yuzhu. They could not get back the New Year's money from their children, but they could get the money back from He Yuzhu.
The two of them asked He Yuzhu to pay back the money.
But who is He Yuzhu? He is a thug who doesn't hesitate to sit down in front of everyone, cross his legs and say: "Come on, back off."
Yan Bugui couldn't stand it and said: "I said, if you refund the money, you will refund the money. What attitude are you using?"
He Yuzhu: "You want money? Kowtow to me."
kowtow?
As soon as these words came out, the scene became chaotic again.
He Yuzhu then said: "Don't you understand? Have the three children kowtowed to you? But the other end of the kowtow can't be in vain. If you just want money and don't want to pay back, then it won't work."
"Third uncle, why are you knocking your head off to me? How can I return the money to you?"
"Of course, you are the third uncle, I can't let you kowtow to me."
Then He Yuzhu and Yan Jiecheng said: "Who is it? Kowtow to me for your father, and I will return the money to you."
Yan Jiecheng got angry and said, "Silly Zhu, you fart."
He Yuzhu: "Listen, everyone, listen, is this what a child from a teacher's family said? He has no respect for his elders, so he won't kowtow, right? If he doesn't kowtow, his money will be gone."
Then He Yuzhu pointed his gun at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, come on, Xiao'e and his wife, you two are suitable."
"Come on, come on, you two go forward and after you finish kowtow, I will give you the money back."
"Isn't it three times? Three yuan, three three times nine, nine yuan, come on."
Lou Xiao'e suddenly became angry and shouted: "You fart?"
He Yuzhu: "What's the matter, if it weren't for you, you would also find a child, and I would take my place, but you don't have any children, your family."
These words made Lou Xiao'e so angry that her chest rose and fell, and she shouted: "You are just a skinny-faced person."
This has been said.
Lin Fan came over and slapped He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "I said silly Zhu, that's enough. Have you forgotten what I said? Lou Xiao'e didn't offend you, so don't say anything else."
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Lin Fan with a grateful look. Because He Yuzhu didn't get along with Xu Damao, he often made her angry because he couldn't have children.
Xu Damao said, "You bastard," and then he and Lou Xiao'e went home.
He Yuzhu didn't speak any more, but this was the end of the group visit.
After Yi Zhonghai took the cup back angrily, everyone began to disperse.
Lin Fan was a little helpless, this He Yuzhu had such a vicious mouth.
"Silly Zhu, you are such a mouthful, why can't you talk nonsense? What nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? This nice group reunion has been disrupted by you, and you have forgotten what I just told you this morning. The truth is killing you.
A meal."
Lin Fan said angrily and left.
The third uncle took the remaining peanuts and melon seeds on the table and talked to He Yuzhu again and again. He Yuzhu scolded him again before he went home with the third aunt.
After returning home, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao began to prepare things to go home. Xu Damao couldn't hold his breath at all, so he wanted to prepare a way to hit Silly Zhu.
But it was over after Lou Xiao'e got angry, and the matter of revenge on Silly Zhu was left to Xu Damao.
The two argued for a while, and each went back to his parents' house.
Lin Fan, who was at home, was about to go out for a walk, and then saw Lou Xiao'e carrying a large bag of things out.
