After the children in the village got the news that their father was at their elder brother's house, they rushed to Cheng Laoshi's house as soon as possible. When they entered the door, they all had the same posture, kneeling on their knees and kowtowing to pay New Year greetings. Brother Cheng had several grandchildren, and the old man gave them to him.
I happily put the red envelope into my pocket.
This is the only morning of the year when the old man gives up his daily physical exercise.
The morning of the first day of the lunar new year is the most lively in the whole village. People from every household come out to pay New Year greetings. No matter they are old or young, as long as there are elders in the village, they must come to pay New Year greetings, whether they are relatives or not, and many people boast of coming early to pay New Year greetings.
New Year greetings indicate that you are the most diligent person.
Younger grandchildren began to come, and great-grandchildren also came to pay New Year greetings. The old man had already prepared dozens of red envelopes on the kang table. Children would give one to them when they came to kowtow to pay New Year greetings. Men know how to smoke.
The honest man gave me a light cigarette, the woman gave me a piece of fruit and two pieces of candy, and the child gave me peanuts, melon seeds, candies and fruits. In previous years, I didn’t dare to be so generous. This year, my son has become successful, and Wang Xiumei doesn’t mind washing the fruits in the kitchen over and over again.
Come on, in her heart this is her proudest moment.
The reception was very lively. There were several elderly people in the village who were in their 50s and 60s, who were a generation younger than the old man. Even when their relatives came into the house, they knelt down and kowtowed to pay New Year greetings. This was not how much they respected the old man. There was an old saying in the countryside.
The ancestors all turned their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky. When they were old, they handed over the baton to their sons. They were afraid that their sons would be unfilial. From time to time, respect for their fathers shifted to respect for their elders. In this way, people of all ages came to kowtow to the old man and pay New Year greetings.
Etiquette is also shown to the descendants of future generations. The rules passed down from ancestors to generations no longer have so many rigid rules. It is natural for everyone to do the same.
It happened that my sister's family of three came to officially pay New Year's greetings, so Cheng Xiaoyu followed them and started a whole village New Year's greeting trip.
Walking on the village road, you will find that you have never felt that there are so many people in the village. Everyone's footsteps are in a hurry. They go out from this house and enter that house. They chat with the familiar ones for two days and enter the house with the unfamiliar ones.
Say New Year's greetings and leave.
Before dawn, Cheng Xiaoyu followed his sister and his family from the east end of the village to the west end of the village. More than an hour passed in a circle. The little girl Yang Dan received a lot of red envelopes in her hands. They were all given by relatives, and there were not many.
Ten yuan and twenty yuan, not because everyone is stingy, but because there are too many relatives talking about it. A large group of chirping children come into the house and kowtow to pay New Year greetings. They will prepare brand-new banknotes and give them out as lucky money.
People like Cheng Xiaoyu who have lived outside for several years are somewhat resistant to such old etiquette. In addition, except for the elderly and children, no one in their late teens or early forties kowtows to pay New Year greetings, unless it is for relatives.
Elders such as grandpa.
Lively, lively that you can't imagine. At a time when the New Year in the city is becoming less and less interesting, the slightly cumbersome and trivial way of celebrating the New Year in the countryside reveals a lively atmosphere that the New Year should have. Cheng Xiaoyu is also happy to go from house to house.
When he arrived at Lao Xiong's house and Lao Zhang's house, he also got two red envelopes worth one hundred yuan. Relatives and friends were also from far and near. Xiong Wei, Zhang Sen, and Cheng Xiaoyu had a deep relationship with each other's parents.
The relationship between people has also become much closer, and a New Year’s red envelope of 100 yuan is definitely indispensable in rural areas.
After a round, the sisters and husband also had to go home and wait for the little jumping bean to pay them New Year greetings. They parted ways and Cheng Xiaoyu went home. When he entered, he found that the old man had been picked up by the uncle. After a while, Cheng Laoshi and his wife also started their New Year greeting trip. No one was there.
It can be exempted from vulgarity, and everyone respects the traditions left by the older generation, even if it has no allusions.
Looking at the melon seed peel peanut shell candy wrappers inside and outside the house, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and picked up the broom and swept it carefully from the kang to the floor. As a child, if you can do a little housework for your parents, the elderly will feel warm in their hearts.
Yes, as the popular song goes, the old man does not want to make much contribution to his children's family...even if he helps his mother brush the chopsticks and wash the dishes...
It's that simple. Cheng Laoshi and his wife came back dozens of minutes later and saw that the house was clean. They would be lying if they said they were not impressed. Their son has grown up.
The happiest people during the New Year are definitely the children. After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the adults will feel that there is no difference from usual days. The difference is that they eat well and there are more guests to and from. Other than that, it is the same as before.
.
Cheng Xiaoyu, who had not slept all night, was about to take a nap. Not long after he lay down, he heard his niece Yang Dan running in crying: "Uncle... wuwu... uncle..."
She was wiping tears and snot in one hand, and holding a PSP covered in snow and cement in the other. It was obvious that this toy had been 'destroyed' by her.
Cheng Xiaoyu hugged his niece, who was dressed in a festive red dress, wiped her tears with his hands, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, Dandan. Is the game console broken? It doesn't matter. Uncle will fix it for you."
"Bah..." The sound of snot being sucked into the nose, and hearing that the damaged game console could be repaired, Yang Dan's crying stopped abruptly, and he stared at his uncle with his big eyes flashing: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You have forgotten what uncle does." Cheng Xiaoyu nodded the little girl's forehead and took the game console from her hand.
"Uncle, it's all the fault of Dabaozi and the others. They insisted on rushing to play and fell to the ground. I won't play with them anymore. They bullied me..." Yang Dan recounted his 'experience'. As a child, his value was damaged.
People will give themselves excuses for expensive toys, for fear of being punished by their parents.
Cheng Xiaoyu opened the suitcase that was placed on the edge of the kang. After the Daewoo maintenance was damaged, the guys who were eating had all replaced it with the highest-end equipment. The heat gun was no longer bulky with an adjuster, and it was better than the one used by the lady.
The hair dryer is much smaller and naturally expensive. The soldering iron can be carried with you and can be used if there is a power outlet. A set of tweezers, blades, pentagonal and hexagonal screwdrivers and other special repair tools are all purchased with the best steel mouth, and a set is included.
The disassembly tools in the large and small bags cost more than a thousand yuan. You must know that the set of disassembly tools once used by Cheng Xiaoyu cost dozens of yuan at most. This time after leaving Chuncheng, this set, including the air gun, soldering iron, power test meter, etc., was worth three yuan.
With more than a thousand yuan worth of equipment, he specially bought a silver-white box that resembled the high-precision equipment in Hong Kong movies. Not to mention opening it now, it felt great to hold the good stuff for repairs.
First wipe off the snow and water on the surface with a paper towel. After disassembling the machine, he did not try to turn it on rashly. He first wiped it with alcohol cotton along the circuit board of the machine. Cheng Xiaoyu would fix problems like this first according to his own skills. After all, he had it.
Magical powers don't mean that you don't need to make progress in your life. This power is so strange that who knows when it will suddenly disappear. Take advantage of its existence to hone your blacksmithing skills.
A very simple problem. After water entered, the circuit board short-circuited, the safety switch automatically turned off, and the external computer could not be turned on. It took fifteen minutes to install and turn on the computer. The screen lit up, and Yang Dan's familiar music started playing again.
"Oh...Uncle, you are great, long live uncle...tsk..." Yang Dan clapped her hands happily, went up and hugged Cheng Xiaoyu's neck and kissed her hard, then took the game console and ran out, with a few little jumps outside.
Douzi was lying on the window watching. Yang Dan quickly gathered around him after he left. Yang Dan, who had vowed never to play with them again, now acted like a little princess. She had a game that everyone liked in her hands.
As for the game console, she directs everyone to play games according to their own wishes. The price is that her game console can stay in the hands of obedient people for a few minutes.
Looking at the mist-like energy that was about to overflow from the middle finger of his left hand, Cheng Xiaoyu knew that the next step of transformation needs to be put on the agenda. Fixing things makes your eyes tired, so repair your eyes?
