Say goodbye to the old year with the sound of firecrackers and celebrate the new year happily.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were five people in a bungalow courtyard in Tanghu County, five steaming bowls of hand-made noodles, and four side dishes in the middle, all exquisite and simple.
Five people were sitting around the table. Tang Tiandong suddenly seemed to remember something, then he put down his chopsticks and ran to the side room, took out a whip and a big salute, called all four people to the door, and showed the authority of the head of the family.
.
"Today is the New Year's Eve in our family. What's New Year's Eve if my son is not here? So we are having New Year's Eve dinner and setting off firecrackers today. We are celebrating the New Year today! Mom, don't watch the excitement yet. Why don't you go back to the house and take out the red envelopes for the children?
hair!"
The firecrackers were blasting together, and the sound of firecrackers meant that we really celebrated the New Year, and we really went home to celebrate the New Year. As the eldest son, Tang Lin did not rush to set off firecrackers, because Tang Lin told the female mayor that setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve every year was his father's favorite.
When he was most proud, for the rest of the 365 days a year, he was just an honest and humble cleaner who would be ignored casually. But on New Year's Eve, when he set off firecrackers to welcome the God of Wealth and ate dumplings, he was the head of the family.
The female mayor can't even remember when she hid in the door of her house to watch her father set off firecrackers during the New Year when she was a child, or there was no such time at all.
She cuddled up against Tang Lin like a little bird. Tang Lin was the happiest at the moment, because there was a little beauty on his left and a big beauty on his right. He simply enjoyed the blessings of everyone else.
The red envelopes arrived immediately after the firecrackers were set off, but Tang Lin did not pick them up. Instead, he asked his parents to sit side by side on the chairs in front of the dining table, and then he knelt down and kowtowed in a polite manner.
Dad, Mom, happy New Year, my son is back!
Then he took the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from the female mayor's hand, handed it over on his knees, put it into the hands of the two old people with his own hands, and said in particular, "You have lived for me for most of your life, and now that your son has grown up,
As adults, this money is for you to spend. If you are reluctant to buy anything these years, just buy it. You must spend it all, otherwise I will always feel guilty..."
Tang Yu was still strong. He stood up and forcibly helped his son who was kneeling down, "Silly son, when you grow up, you don't have to kowtow to New Year greetings like you did when you were a child. There is gold under your knees, so you can't kneel casually. Remember,
You must take the right path outside and behave upright!"
This is the second time she has said this to her son today. It seems that she is really old and keeps nagging this sentence over and over again. However, in fact, the female mayor does not think so. This is exactly the proud character of a rag-collecting mother.
The embodiment of this. She doesn’t care about her identity, nor does she mind the children chasing after her and calling her the King of Rags. She walks the right path, is upright, and there is nothing shameful about collecting rags. She makes money through her own labor.
But Tang Tiandong, who was sitting steadily on the chair, had the opposite attitude to her, "Okay, when you grow up, I will spend your money once!"
The female mayor here has already taken out the third red envelope and handed it to Tang Guo, who had turned away and did not dare to look at it. "Guo Guo, your brother gave you this. Your brother said that you have been beautiful for so many years."
I'm reluctant to buy clothes, so let me go shopping with you this time, dress up beautifully, and let people see how beautiful you Tang family girls are, hehe."
Tang Guo didn't refuse, just like Tang Tiandong and Tang Yu didn't refuse. No matter how much money they had in their wallets, they couldn't refuse because it was their brother's wish.
The red envelopes are not thin. The weight and thickness are similar to her monthly salary. It should be at least 5,000 yuan, so three red envelopes are 15,000 yuan. However, my brother’s bonus and subsidy in the army were basically sent home on a monthly basis.
Well, it seems that he has not been working in Zhongzhou for a long time. Even if he is well paid as a police inspector, it is not that easy to save 15,000, right? Not to mention that my brother has to rent a house, have food and transportation.
Could it be that my sister-in-law provided this money?
But even if she has doubts, she will never say it now, but she will definitely ask later. If it is true, she will definitely help her brother return it to her sister-in-law. It's not that she can't accept it, but the current conditions of her family are actually okay.
The money earned by the three people in the family and the money sent back by my brother have been saved for him to buy a house and marry a wife in the past few years.
It was enough for my sister-in-law to have this feeling when she came to visit her for the first time, and she was already very grateful, but she didn't want her brother to drive her sister-in-law's car and spend her money from now on.
She also knew that this was not her brother's character, but it was his character. Her brother, who had not been home for six years, suddenly changed from a Falcon Panther to a police inspector. She could not even imagine how many ups and downs he had gone through.
But my brother will definitely do this when he returns home for the first time in six years, even if the money is temporarily borrowed from his sister-in-law.
So she held back the tears that had not been shed just now. She couldn't see her brother being so guilty and unable to kneel down. She hoped that her brother wouldn't care about those things. She hoped that her brother would really stop feeling guilty and stop caring about those old things, because
Everything was over long ago, because she had completed her undergraduate degree by self-study and even passed the accounting certificate exam. She resisted not telling her brother and wanted to give him a surprise when he came back so that he would no longer be so burdened.
So when people sat back down at the dinner table and started to eat, she ran back to her room and took out her diploma and accountant qualification certificate.
He handed it to Tang Lin personally, with a look of pride and pride on his face, "Brother, look, I didn't go to college but graduated earlier than others and even got the accountant qualification certificate. I didn't give up on my dream of going to college because of you.
Huh, now you know it!"
Tang Lin opened the graduation certificate and accounting qualification certificate in disbelief. You must know that my sister didn't graduate from high school. How did she get an undergraduate degree in the self-study exam? How did she get the accountant qualification that even major students from prestigious universities have difficulty passing?
certificate?
He was a little confused all of a sudden, and he handed it to the female mayor in disgrace, "Well, Huang Ying, can you show that this child didn't just apply for a fake certificate to fool me?"
Huang Ying, however, closed the certificate and put it away without even looking at it. She smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Tang Lin, Guoguo will not lie to you even if she deceives everyone in the world!"
Tang Lin suddenly realized that he was indeed a fan of the authorities. He actually doubted his sister's words, so he immediately hugged his sister excitedly and kissed her several times, almost losing his composure.
Her face turned red and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
She was struggling randomly. In fact, it was more of a struggle than a panic as she crawled into her brother's arms, because she had never resisted her brother since she was a child.
"Oh...brother...it can't be done...I've grown up..."
"Brother, sister-in-law is here...you can't..."
Of course, Tang Lin realized again that his sister had really grown up, but he still couldn't get rid of the plot when he left home. A lot of things would indeed happen and change in 6 years.
Nothing has changed, but everything has changed again. My parents are old, my sister has grown up...
So he quickly let go, and in order to cover up the same embarrassment he felt with his sister, he immediately lowered his head and ate the noodles, "Eat the noodles, eat the noodles, they will get cold if you don't eat them. The hand-made noodles made by dad are delicious, even better than those made by Han."
It’s delicious, isn’t it Huang Ying, cough cough cough…”
But he ate too quickly and coughed violently. The female mayor hurried over and slapped him on the back, which was both funny and distressing, "Look, you are in your own home, and no one is trying to rob you.
What……"
The other three people were deeply impressed by the female mayor's instinctive tenderness and care for Tang Lin...
