Time flies by, like a dream, and it’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye.
The grain store gave me a day off, and I had to go to work after New Year's Eve.
Chu Heng originally wanted to sleep in late today, but it wasn't even six o'clock before the little carrots in the courtyard started setting off firecrackers all over the courtyard. They made loud noises every now and then, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.
"These bastards can't calm down for a while." He cursed and got up from the bed, put on his clothes shivering, went to the public toilet outside to drain the water, and quickly lit a fire for the stove when he came back.
When the room got warmer, he went to fetch water and wash up.
After washing my face, brushing my teeth, I took a pack of Phoenix brand shampoo that I got through some connections and washed my hair. In the blink of an eye, this guy changed from an unkempt slovenly guy to a clean and tidy guy.
Handsome.
"It's another day when I wake up to my handsomeness." Chu Heng stood in front of the large mirror mounted on the dressing table and took a picture. He took out a plate of steaming beef filling dumplings from the warehouse and prepared to go to him after finishing the meal.
The second uncle’s family celebrates the New Year together.
He is a young bachelor with no father or mother, so he must go to Chu Jianshe's house for New Year's Eve dinner.
"Is Tsuneko up?"
As soon as Chu Heng picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, the third uncle's voice sounded outside the door. He was sending couplets.
"Get up!" He put down his chopsticks helplessly, quickly took some peanuts and melon seeds and a few pieces of fruit candies from the warehouse and put them into a small plate, then got up and went out.
When he opened the door, he saw the third uncle standing outside the door, holding a pair of Spring Festival couplets on red paper with black characters for exchanging peanuts and melon seeds. His wife, the third aunt, stood holding a bamboo basket for holding things.
aside.
The old couple are both very happy, today is their day to get rich!
"Third uncle, third aunt, you two woke up really early. I just had to eat this meal." Chu Heng handed over the plate in his hand with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the Spring Festival couplets. Don't be dissatisfied with the lack of things."
.”
In fact, he gave a lot of things. Other people usually just give a handful of peanuts and melon seeds, but here he also gave a few pieces of candy, which is a high consumption...
When the third uncle saw that there were still candies, he immediately beamed with wrinkles all over his face. He quickly gave his wife a wink and told her to take it over quickly. Then he unfolded the Spring Festival couplets and said with a smile: "Come on, Hengzi, look.
Look at this couple, the first couplet means everything will be smooth sailing and the auspicious stars will arrive; the second couplet means everything will go well and blessings will come to your door, and we will celebrate the Spring Festival."
Too vulgar!
Chu Heng rolled his eyelids and complained secretly in his heart, but he gave a thumbs up on his face: "The words are good, the calligraphy is even better, the iron paintings are silver hooks, he has his own style, he is chasing Yan Liu! Third uncle, please leave
It’s just one step away from being a famous person.”
Well...he almost died.
"You are really good at joking. How can I dare to compare with those two masters?" The third uncle is most proud of his calligraphy. After a few words of praise, his heart feels like being soaked in warm water. That is called a sense of comfort: "cadre
It's just different, he speaks at a better level than others."
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the guy named Silly Zhu who spoke openly.
They are all bachelors. Look at Hengzi’s level, and look at that guy. He still wants to marry Teacher Ran. Are you a good bitch?
Since he can talk, he must have a few more words. The two men exchanged some business boasts, and the third man, who was anxious to make a fortune, reluctantly turned around and went to Aunt Li's house next door.
Chu Heng took the pairs back to the house and threw them by the door window. After finishing the meal, he set up a pot to boil water, put some white flour in and cooked it to make a paste, which he would use to stick the pairs later.
If Miss Ni was here, she would nag him to death.
After a while, the paste was cooked. He picked up the pot and poured it into a small bowl. He also took a small brush and took the Spring Festival couplets to the door.
Brush it a few times and stick it together until the paste is left at the bottom of the bowl.
Chu Heng stood at the door and took a look. Seeing that the sticker was quite strong, he turned and walked towards the sink in the center of the courtyard, ready to wash the dishes and brushes.
A child from another hospital who was watching the excitement saw his eyes lit up and hurriedly ran up: "Brother Hengzi, let me wash it for you."
Without waiting for Chu Heng to agree, the boy snatched the bowl and brush away, then stuck out his tongue and started licking...
"Oh shit! How dirty this is!" Chu Heng was dumbfounded. He knew this kid, his nickname was Tiedan, but he didn't know his other name. He lived in the yard next door, and his family was in a difficult situation.
“It smells so good!”
Tiedan licked the bowl clean in a few mouthfuls, then started sucking the brush again, and finally smacked his lips with unfinished content, then turned around and ran to the sink to rinse it.
When Chu Heng got the things again, his expression was complicated.
It's not that he dislikes it, but he just feels uncomfortable. How greedy would he be to lick this muddy paste? You can imagine how difficult life must be for his family.
Chu Heng, the grandson who was always good and evil, suddenly started to show his kindness. He reached into his pocket and took out three or four pieces of fruit candies. He smiled and scolded the child: "I have prepared all the candies. You bastard doesn't know how to give them to me."
Have a good year."
Tiedan was inexplicably surprised and hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Happy New Year, Brother Hengzi!"
"It's good for you too." Chu Heng smiled and put the candy in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Get out of here."
"Thank you, Brother Hengzi." Tiedan clutched the candy tightly and ran out of the hospital happily, planning to go back and share it with his younger brothers and sisters.
When other children nearby saw this, they also gathered around, howled and worshiped him.
"Happy New Year to Uncle Hengzi!"
"Brother Hengzi, have a prosperous New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Brother Hengzi."
Naturally, the big dog owner is not short of these things, and he said to the children with a smile: "Everyone wait in line, I will get you some candies."
After saying that, he went back to the house, and soon came out with a plate of colorful fruit candies.
This one is pretty good, white rabbit, red shrimp cakes and so on.
The children had already lined up, each one looking eagerly at the plate in his hand. Although they all bought candies at home, they only got a few pieces, which could not satisfy their greedy stomachs.
Chu Heng didn't give much, just two yuan per person.
At this time, you can see what kind of education each family has. Some children will say thank you to him after taking the candy, while others will run away after taking the candy.
The widow's son, Bang Jian, stood in the distance with greedy eyes and watched the children happily sharing the candies.
Ever since he was exposed about stealing eggs, he has always been afraid of Chu Heng. He would stay far away when he saw him, and how could he dare to approach him.
After standing there and watching for a while, Banggeng was really greedy. He rolled his eyes, wiped himself away and ran to look for Shazhu.
Chu Heng quickly finished distributing the candy, and there was a plate full of candy cubes, with not a single one left.
"It's gone. Just go ahead and do whatever you need to do."
He raised the empty plate, dismissed the children who were unwilling to leave, and returned to the house.
After cleaning up briefly, Chu Heng left the house with large and small bags and rushed to his second uncle's house.
He gave several annual gifts, and Chu Jianshe's was the most generous.
He took out some cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea, ribs, elbows, pig's trotters, and other things given to him by Bai Bute and Zhao Weiguo.
These big and small bags can hardly fit on the bicycle.
