In the past, the New Year was celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and in some places it was celebrated on the 2nd February. Nowadays, the New Year has lost its flavor after the second day of the lunar month, and has become an activity purely for visiting relatives.
When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I don’t know who suggested that all the sons and daughters of the Cheng family celebrate the festival together. The girls who are getting married and the boys who are going out will also go back to the village to visit their relatives. This proposal was immediately popular with everyone.
In agreement, Brother Cheng’s house has the largest house and the most spacious yard. The old man happened to be there, so he decided to stay at Brother Cheng’s house.
Needless to say, dozens of people gathered in one house, and it was noisy. Every household had prepared New Year's goods. Farmers' living conditions were getting better and better, and they were no longer the picky people they used to be. Cheng Laoshi's family carried twenty kilograms of pork and twenty kilograms of pork.
A pound of beef, three strips of Furong Wang, and five bottles of Wuliangye were all put together in the kitchen, and we couldn't put them all together, nor could we serve enough food for so many people.
It’s easy to do things when there are many people. There is a greenhouse at home. In less than half an hour, a dozen young men set up the greenhouse in the yard, cleared away the snow inside, built a sturdy stove pit with bricks, and took two sips and eight drinks.
The big pot was set on fire. It could be used for cooking at noon and evening, and it could also be used to heat the greenhouse. The fire started burning. After a few minutes, the cold greenhouse started to heat up. The tables and chairs were moved out. My sister-in-law and other women were waiting for me.
The comrades were chatting while preparing the ingredients. The Zhang family and the Li family were short, and there was a sufficient supply of melon seeds, peanuts, candies and fruit tubes. The flavor of the New Year suddenly came out while eating and chatting.
The older ones gathered in the east room chatting with the old man, the children were running in and out, the middle-aged people were already ready to play mahjong and poker, and four or five groups were wrestling on the Kang in the spacious west room suite. Cheng Xiaoyu’s
The elders all ran to the old house nearby, chatting or playing poker or mahjong.
Cheng Xiaoyu's outstanding performance this year has naturally become the core of his peers. Some brothers and sisters who are not working well outside are asking Cheng Xiaoyu to help. The same thing happened to Cheng Laoshi and Wang Xiumei. The old couple straightened their backs.
Yes, listening to everyone's compliments, their faces lit up with joy. The success of their children is the success of their parents. After they lost the ability and opportunity to conquer society, all their hopes were placed on their children. It's so ordinary.
, but I would be even happier if it was vigorous.
Cheng Xiaoyu is a little resistant to today's bustle. Relatives meet every year during the Chinese New Year. The huge difference between last year and this year makes him feel the reality of society even more. Even relatives who are not far apart from each other have to pretend to get along with each other in a social way. It is very tiring.
It was very unreal, and it disgusted him.
At noon, while we were having dinner and chatting over wine, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn’t sit still. There were many people who would talk about anything as soon as they drank. To put it bluntly, it was just one sentence: envy, jealousy, and hate. People’s selfish psychology can wish others a better life.
I am good, but deep down I still long for transcendence and resent the gap.
I can’t get angry, I can’t hate, I feel uncomfortable when I leave, I’m afraid that people will think too much about me if I leave, I really can’t sit still if I don’t leave, I’m yelling and saying something, it doesn’t sound comfortable at all, my hatred for the rich has spread to my family members, I want to
It’s not that the old man couldn’t care less about this after opening five or six tables, and he would have already pointed his nose and cursed. In this big family, the old man’s authority is guaranteed by the support of several children.
Just when he was feeling uncomfortable and unwilling to drink too much and talking nonsense, the arrival of a strange phone call solved Cheng Xiaoyu's urgent need and gave him an excuse to leave openly.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Cheng Xiaoyu who repairs electronic equipment?" A slightly familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am, you are..."
"Fat man, it's only been a few days, but my neighbor sitting next to me has already been forgotten." After hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's affirmative reply, a crisp laughter rang on the other end of the phone, and the image of a voluptuous and sexy woman emerged in his mind.
When the car came back from Chuncheng, the woman wearing heavy makeup looked like Gu Yu, who worked in some kind of industry or was a mistress.
"It turns out it's a beautiful woman who's bothering me. Why, you're celebrating the New Year and you want to give me a New Year's greeting?" Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have a good impression of Gu Yu. At most, it was just a man's petty thinking. He just wanted to flirt with a beautiful woman for a few words.
A pure sex partner is just a fantasy. I have no idea of being friends and keep them at arm's length. I don't think this kind of woman has any other development except being a disaster.
"I have something to ask you. Don't you repair electronic products? Can you repair your handheld computer? I dropped my handheld computer on the ground and it can't be started now. There is no place to repair it during the Chinese New Year. I don't want to miss you anymore.
Well, don't worry, I'll definitely give you a high price once you've repaired it." It could be heard that Gu Yu was very anxious, and he skipped any minor politeness and went straight to the point.
"Sister, it's the Chinese New Year now. My family is in a rural area. Besides, I don't have much experience in software maintenance. If it breaks, it doesn't necessarily mean the hardware. Looking at your dress, you don't look like someone who can't afford a handheld computer. If you're in a hurry, go online.
Ordering is also very fast..." Cheng Xiaoyu subconsciously wanted to refuse. Who is willing to work during the Chinese New Year? Even if he is not in a good mood at the moment and wants to leave with an excuse, it is not at the expense of going out.
Gu Yu directly interrupted Cheng Xiaoyu: "Little brother, I have very important address books and notepads here. They must not be lost. I will definitely thank you for helping me repair them. If it weren't for the repair shops all over the street during the Chinese New Year,
Close the door and I won’t bother you.”
"I am in the countryside now..."
"I'll take a taxi to pick you up right away. It would be better if you have something on hand, and it will save you the trouble of running back and forth." Gu Yu was also seriously ill and sought medical treatment. The data in the PDA was not only important to her, but also to the big shot in Chuncheng.
, the phone numbers of some more important customers and some more important transaction records are in it and cannot be lost. During the Chinese New Year, I have to call some important but invisible people to pay New Year greetings and give gifts. On weekdays, I don’t dare to store those phone calls in my mobile phone, and they are all locked.
In this PDA, I blame myself for trusting electronic products too much and not trusting bad writing, which is why I am in trouble today.
"Oh, okay then. My home is in Xinglong Village, Longhai Town. The first house you drive into the village will be waiting for you." It could be seen that Gu Yu was very anxious. It was a businessman's rule.
How could he push out the door-to-door business? At the same time, Cheng Xiaoyu also had another thought. Seeing that someone in the village bought small bread and small QQ, which was very convenient for entry and exit, he also wanted to get a driver's license. The business card Gu Yu gave him was from the driving school.
Principal, I can't talk to you if you take the initiative to talk to me, but you might as well mention it if you come to visit me now.
In just half an hour, a white Bora drove in. Gu Yu, who was wearing a short mink coat and permed hair, rolled up the window with a little eagerness on her face. The car honked the horn a few times. Cheng Xiaoyu and a few
A very curious person came out together. Gu Yu waved to him and raised the handheld computer that could not be started.
It could be seen that Gu Yu was really anxious. Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a while and opened the car door and got in: "Let's go to my house. All the tools are at home." Sitting in the driver's seat was a very tough-looking man with a look of work on his face. He wanted to
It is said that Cheng Xiaoyu would hesitate because of this man outside, but in this poor place, not only he looks scary, but he is really scary. Facing the villagers with tough folk customs, he is just looking for death, so Cheng Xiaoyu is very generous
Pointing in the direction of your home, let the car start to go to your home.
