On New Year's Day, Wu Jianye was disturbed by the sound of firecrackers and the New Year's greetings of a group of naughty children headed by Zhao Xiaofeng.
He took out the red envelopes he had prepared and gave them to them, and then let them go and harm other people.
After a simple wash, Wu Jianye started walking towards the second grandfather's house in the west of the village. The Wu family's genealogy is kept at the second grandfather's house. Every year on this day, the men of the Wu family have to be present to give their ancestors
kowtow.
When we arrived at Second Grandpa's house, almost everyone from the Wu family at the west end of the village had arrived. They were all standing in the yard. Only a few old people were sitting in the living room. In the middle of the living room of Second Grandpa's house, the Wu family was already there.
Where is the family tree hanging? Wu Jianye followed the arrangement and found his position. At this time, what matters is not who is rich or who is senior.
Wu Jianzhang approached Wu Jianye and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Wu Jianye nodded: "You have nothing to do, just stay at home for a few more days!"
Wu Jianzhang showed a reluctant look, "My video studio has not been open for several days. How much money will I make less!"
Wu Jianye: "Speak humanly!"
"I want to go back early so I can find Gu Yao!" Wu Jianzhang chuckled.
Wu Jianye nodded, was this the Wu Jianzhang he knew?
"If you don't rest during the Chinese New Year, others have to rest too. Remember, when you meet someone, don't act like a second-rate person. Try to find a way to become friends with them first, and then think about other things..."
Everyone was bored, Wu Jianye quietly taught Wu Jianzhang his experience.
However, the two did not chat for too long, and the old man in the room began to discuss the matter of kowtow to the ancestors.
Yanzhao is located in the Central Plains, and the atmosphere of customs is stronger than that in the north, but it is not as grand as in the south, so they just kowtow together briefly, and later there are activities such as inviting ancestors. Wu Jianye also goes with the brigade.
After struggling for most of the morning, it was finally over.
In fact, this custom will not last long here. Probably after the year 2000, this custom will become less and less common.
Originally, he wanted to go home directly, but Wu Jianye was held back by his third uncle.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the third uncle, Wu Jianye couldn't refuse, so he followed the third uncle to his house. When he arrived at the third uncle's house, the third aunt saw Wu Jianye and invited him to the house with great enthusiasm.
inside.
Then Wu Jianye knew the reason for calling him here this time. It turned out that his third uncle and third aunt already knew that Wu Jianzhang had a girl he liked in Yanjing. The purpose of calling Wu Jianye this time was to
Ask about the woman’s background.
This left Wu Jianye a little speechless. To be honest, he didn't think Wu Jianzhang could catch up with Gu Yao. The two were not from the same world at all.
However, he didn't want to explain so much, so he just repeated the information Wu Jianzhang told him before to his third uncle and third aunt.
"Oh, what this kid said is true. He is really the son of the old leader. How can he be attracted to this naughty boy?" The third aunt obviously didn't believe her son very much either.
Although Gu Yao's grandfather has passed away, in the hearts of people like his third uncle and third aunt, Gu Yao is still a high-ranking princess, and they know the virtues of their son better than anyone else.
This is not something you are willing to admit.
It was obvious from the third aunt's attitude that Wu Jianzhang had told the third aunt before, but she didn't believe it.
"I don't know about this anymore!" Wu Jianye said with a smile. He didn't want to express his opinion on this matter in front of his uncle and aunt. They said that their children could do it, so Wu Jianye probably would have said it in front of them.
, the third aunt’s character of protecting the calf will definitely turn her back.
Although the third aunt did not believe that her son could catch up with Gu Yao, she still told Wu Jianye, the elder brother, to take more care of Wu Jianzhang in Yanjing.
Wu Jianye naturally nodded repeatedly.
Originally, the third uncle wanted to keep Wu Jianye at home for dinner, but Wu Jianye did not agree. After chatting for a while, he was ready to leave. When the third uncle sent Wu Jianye to the door of the house, he looked a little hesitant.
The third uncle rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Second Fatty, what happened in the past was what the third uncle did wrong..."
Wu Jianye naturally knew that the third uncle was talking about the things he did when his cheap father just passed away.
He smiled and said: "Third uncle, you should tell my mother about this. In fact, I was still young at that time and I don't remember anything!"
Small?
"Wu Jianye" was already in his teens when his father passed away.
Wu Jianye said this because it was my mother who stood in front to shield him from the wind and rain. Now I should accept this apology.
The third uncle laughed sarcastically, "This is what it should be."
Having said that, the third uncle offered to follow Wu Jianye home. Wu Jianye went home with the third uncle without saying anything.
When I got home, my mother's expression didn't change much when she saw her third uncle. Those things have been in the past for many years, and she has already let them go.
The most important thing to me now is her grandson.
"Sister-in-law, have a great New Year!" the third uncle said with a smile.
The old lady smiled and said: "Happy New Year."
Wu Jianye knew that his third uncle must be embarrassed in front of him at this time, so he took Zhu Xie back to their room. Now he saw through the window that his third uncle was talking to his mother, and then walked back to their room.
'Cheap Daddy' lit a stick of incense in front of him and said something.
Then he shouted to Wu Jianye loudly, "Second Fatty, Third Uncle is gone!"
Wu Jianye replied in the room: "Uncle San, walk slowly!"
After the third uncle left, my mother didn't say anything, but reminded Wu Jianye that it was time to go see his father.
Wu Jianye went to see Cheap Daddy, carrying paper money and other things that he had already prepared.
When I came back at noon, the food had already been prepared at home.
There was nothing going on in the afternoon. Zhou Tao approached Wu Jianye and suggested that he find a few people to play cards. Wu Jianye didn't have any objections. During the Chinese New Year, people should rest and play cards.
Naturally, the two of them couldn't get enough of the cards, so they called Zhao Xiaoqiang and Wu Jianhu over. Along with Wu Jianhu was the person he was planning to marry, Hu Wenxi.
After Hu Wenxi saw Zhou Tao, she couldn't help laughing. Everyone else knew what she was laughing about. It was nothing more than Zhou Fei's behavior a few days ago, which made Hu Wenxi couldn't help but laugh. This is what Hu Wenxi said
This is the most interesting thing I have ever experienced.
Zhou Tao showed a hint of embarrassment, but Hu Wenxi was also very sensible and did not get entangled in this matter. Instead, she went to chat with Zhu Xie.
In the past few days since she came to the village, Hu Wenxi found that there were very few people who spoke the same language. The three aunts and six aunts gave her a headache. Only when she was with Zhu Xian and Zhao Xiaoyan, did she have common topics.
Wu Jianye and the four of them built a Great Wall in the living room. It was not an automatic mahjong table, but an ordinary table covered with cotton cloth and hand-coded. None of the four of them cared, they were just looking for some entertainment to kill the time.
"Three tubes, brother, I'm going to go back with you on the 3rd!" Wu Jianhu casually hit three tubes, "The mall just opened not long ago, I can't leave for too long!"
"Two strips, OK, it's up to you. By the way, how about the performance?" Wu Jianye touched a three strip and made three triples. Then he knocked out the two strips and asked Wu Jianhu what he said before, inviting Xiangjiang stars to play.
Things to do about shopping mall performances.
"Bang!" Zhao Xiaoqiang, who was opposite Wu Jianye, shouted, and then hit him again.
Wu Jianhu said happily: "It was very sensational. The manager called and said that the mall was full that day!"
Wu Jianye nodded, "That's good!"
In this way, the four of them were chatting and playing mahjong. Time passed quickly. As the evening approached, the game was over. Wu Jianye lost 1 yuan and 2 yuan...
In the evening, I took my grandma and grandpa over and had a meal together. The first day of the new year passed just like that.
On the second day of junior high school, Wu Jianye called Zhao Xiaoqiang and Zhao Xiaoyan, and the three of them drove a car to the countryside.
The aunt was married in the countryside, and the fourth aunt and the younger aunt would get off the bus in the countryside. This time they went to the countryside to pick up the three of them.
My uncle's family was originally an ordinary farmer in the countryside. However, in recent years, I have helped my uncle a lot, so now my uncle's family has built a new house, and it is not one room, but three rooms.
A girl and a son were born, and both of them were married.
Both of them also have the simplicity of rural people, and they don't have any big ambitions. They just want to live well in their own one-third of an acre of land.
When Wu Jianye and the other three arrived at their aunt's house, their whole family was already there.
"Come in quickly, it's so cold outside!" The aunt had been waiting for them at the door of the house early. Standing next to them were the aunt's son Zhang Guohua and grandson Zhang Hanchao.
Zhang Guohua saw Wu Jianye and others looking at the three cars approaching, with an envious look in his eyes. However, he still took the New Year gifts from Wu Jianye and others first. After a few people entered the house, his uncle and
Everyone else was also in the room warming themselves by the stove.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Zhang Guohua found Zhao Xiaoqiang and proposed that he wanted to try out the cars from outside. Zhao Xiaoqiang glanced at Wu Jianye and said that these cars were all transferred from Tangting Culture and Guomao. Zhao Xiaoqiang had not bought his own yet.
As for cars, now I only drive his company's truck when I go out.
Wu Jianye naturally had no objection, so Zhang Guohua, Zhang Guohua's daughter-in-law, son Zhang Hanchao, and aunt's daughter Zhang Liyun all went out to look at the car.
Wu Jianye and Zhao Xiaoyan stayed in the house chatting with their aunt and uncle. They were both in their fifties and almost sixty this year. Their faces were covered with traces of time, and their rough skin made them look more beautiful than those in the city.
The people of the same age here look older, and their hair has turned gray.
It was approaching noon, and the people who went out to play in the car had not come back yet. The fourth aunt and the aunt's family had already arrived. They were both married to Jinan City next to Xingzhou. Although it was not the same county, they would still drop by if they went back to their hometown, so
The two families arrived together.
The fourth aunt's family has a large population, including two girls and one son. The eldest girl, Liao Qiuyue, is 27 this year and is already married. She gave birth to a big fat boy to her husband's family. The whole family of three is here.
The second girl, Liao Dongqing, is 24 this year. She is also married, but she gave birth to a daughter, and the whole family of three is here.
The youngest son, Liao Chunfeng, is 20 this year and is not married yet.
My fourth uncle opened a hardware store in Jinan City, and I heard that the business was very good.
Compared with the fourth aunt's family, the aunt's family is not so lucky. The uncle is still squatting inside, and the two children are not married because of the uncle.
It is precisely for this reason that although my aunt is the youngest among their sisters and brothers, she appears to be older than the fourth aunt.
Because of the number of people, three cars couldn't fit in at once, so Wu Jianye decided to go back in two times. Fortunately, the countryside was not far from the village, and it only took half an hour's drive.
First, he sent the aunt's family and the fourth aunt's family back. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Wu Jianye said to the aunt in the car: "Auntie, you can go directly to grandma's house. Let's have dinner together at grandma's house tonight!
"
The aunt smiled and said: "Okay!" Then she warned: "When you go to pick up your aunt and the others, please pay attention to safety on the road."
"Um!"
Wu Jianye nodded.
After talking to Zhao Xiaoqiang and Zhao Xiaoyan, they drove back to their hometown to borrow the money from their fourth aunt, who went with them.
When I came back, my aunt and her family were sitting in Wu Jianye's car, and my aunt, Chen Chen, and Chen Le were sitting in her own car.
"Auntie, don't go back after the New Year. Stay at home. My mother has nothing to do if she lives alone at home. It just so happens that you sisters are keeping company!" Wu Jianye said to his aunt in the car.
My aunt was sitting in the back, looking a little uncomfortable, and said, "That's so bad."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What's wrong with that? It's convenient for you to live at home. My grandma and grandpa are right next to me. From now on, we will live at home until my uncle comes out!"
The aunt sat there and stopped talking. Wu Jianye knew through memory that the aunt used to be a very cheerful woman, but now she has been polished by reality and lost her past personality.
Chen Le was sitting in the passenger seat, looking a little excited, and asked curiously: "Brother, how much does this car cost?"
Wu Jianye didn't want to show off, so he said, "I don't have much money, what are you doing at home now?"
Wu Jianye actually likes Chen Le very much. This boy has a tendency to mess around. In fact, Wu Jianye also wanted to get him to Yanjing, but he said that he couldn't leave his aunt at home.
Mom and his sister were even more bullied since there was no man in the family.
So Wu Jianye didn't say much.
But now that he saw Chen Le, Wu Jianye thought about how to leave his aunt at home.
"Auntie, I opened a company in Yanjing and the manpower is too busy. Why don't you let Chen Le and Chen Chen come to Yanjing to help me."
Chen Chen was sitting in the back row, waving his hands and saying, "If I don't go, I can't do anything!"
Chen Le also shook his head and said: "I can't compare my mother to my sister..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wu Jianye winking at him, and he immediately understood what Wu Jianye meant.
"Um...Mom, why don't you stay at my second aunt's house, so that I can go out and have fun with my brother without any worries!"
The aunt showed a hint of embarrassment. In her opinion, she was a married girl. Now that she was back to live in her parents' home, she was naturally worried about people gossiping.
But mothers all hope that their children will be well, especially in the past two years, my aunt has been extremely worried because of the marriage between Chen Chen and Chen Le...
