At the end of the year, the children feel very happy, and the adults can also take a rare rest, and then everyone becomes decadent together. You don’t have to think about work or supporting your family every day. You only need to think about what to eat next and what to buy when you go to the market.
There are several pool tables in front of almost every house on the street, but basically not many children in Yangjia Village play with them. Because these things are my own, I usually get tired of playing with them when I have nothing to do. It would be strange if he didn't get beaten up by the fat man for playing at fairs and delaying the family's money.
I don’t know when the poker court over the granary opened again. Yesterday was the day Zhou Ya returned home after three days. Before returning to Yanjing, she went to the city to meet an old friend. She was a guest at an old friend’s house. Now she should change her name to father-in-law. Zhou Yiren.
Then he took Zhou Yiren back to the village to celebrate the New Year. He spent countless desperate days and months with Zhou Yiren in the granary, so he naturally wanted to take a look when he came back.
Yangjia Village now has almost completely changed from when he left. Although the granary and threshing floor are still there, the threshing floor has been built into a cement floor, and the granary has been repaired several times.
And now the granary no longer stores the public grain that each household needs to turn in every year, as well as farm tools and so on. After all, these things have been divided up long ago since household production has been guaranteed.
Now the granary has been turned into a card game, and it looks a bit messy. However, I saw that the village has developed very well. For many years, it not only opened a storefront for business, but also had its own large truck for transportation.
Zhou Yiren is very happy that in such a big era, there is no need to worry too much about details. As long as the general direction is correct, people's lives will get better and better.
After seeing the place where he lived before, and hearing that he was back, the old people in the village gathered around and started chatting. Last month, my grandfather fell seriously ill. Although he was treated promptly and his life was no longer in danger, his body collapsed and he could only sit in a wheelchair.
Holding Zhou Yiren's hand and opening his mouth, he was a little out of breath. The second grandfather and the third grandfather were okay. After all, they were a few years younger. In addition, although the rural people's bodies were somewhat exhausted after years of hard work, they had lived in Yangjia Village these years. Very well, they have been completely replenished, so the two old people are still strong.
A group of old people sat together for a tea party. After helping to serve tea and put some gummy candies on the table, Yang Dongxu had nothing to do. Xiao Liang was called out by Xiao Liang who was waving at the door.
Almost all children in rural areas have been beaten by their parents or grandfathers, and girls are better off. Although people in rural areas all want to have a son to inherit the family legacy, even if they feel a little regretful or depressed when a daughter is born, they will never be ambiguous about raising a daughter, and the treatment will not be comparable to that of a son.
So even though they are all young men now, if their father glares or their grandfather gets angry, these young people will still feel cold and lower their heads, ready to be beaten.
"My brother is treating guests at home tonight, and I want you to come over for a drink." Xiao Liang said.
The atmosphere in Yangjiacun has been good in the past two years. Even in Jishang, there has been no petty theft or bullying. I don’t know since when, it has become a tradition for a few brothers from the same village to get together at the end of the year or occasionally.
However, a few years ago, this tradition was still a matter of Yang's generation and had nothing to do with little brats like them. In the past two years, some people who are getting married have begun to treat guests.
Nowadays, it is very common for families to separate after marriage in rural areas. I don’t want to build a small western-style house in the future and the whole family will live together. Because I work outside all year round, I will probably have to leave within a month after I come back. My mother-in-law and father-in-law need to help look after the house.
Now that they are married and living together, because they live at home all year round and occasionally bite their lips with their teeth, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are inevitable.
Therefore, it has become a common thing to separate the family. If you live in two families in this way, you will live in a separate house and there will be less friction. Daliang and Xiaowu separated their families not long after they got married. Now that they have children, they can be considered the head of the family.
Therefore, they naturally have the right to initiate such gatherings at the end of the year. Yang Dongxu is also getting married this year. It is estimated that such a gathering will be organized after he has a child in a few years.
Although I always treat my little ones to dinner every year when I come back, being married and not married, having children and not having children are two different things.
However, Yang Dongxu obviously will not separate from his family, because both of them are the kind of people who are at home all year round and cannot take care of them for more than a month, so it is naturally impossible for them to live alone.
So when initiating such a treat, Yang's father probably came first to invite a group of old brothers to come over for a meal, and then Yang Dongxu came in behind.
"I know, by the way, the wine I brought back contains Huadiao, which is rice wine. Do you want to drink anything? If you want to drink, I will bring a jar over." They are all brothers, so they don't have so many polite words and they are all straightforward. of.
"Okay, how about you bring two bottles of that Wuliangye? This wine is good to drink, but it's too expensive and hard to buy." Xiao Liang said with a smile. He knew that Yang Dongxu was not short of this, and he I knew he wouldn't care so I said with a smile.
"Okay." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded.
The current liquor market is very hot, but supply is scarce. In order to control grain reserves, the state has put several shackles on large grain-consuming households such as brewing.
As a result, these winemakers have to risk losing money if they want to make wine, and the price of liquor on the market can be said to have been rising.
The best liquor on the current market is undoubtedly Kongfujiajiu, Kongfuyanjiu, Wuliangye, Gujinggong and so on. Moutai is currently not ranked.
Maotai during this period was beaten down by the above-mentioned wines. However, although this kind of thing of being hanged and beaten was aggrieved, it must be said that he escaped a disaster.
After all, when the state strictly controls liquor output, the greater the market share, the greater the pressure. Therefore, the more famous domestic baijiu, the harder it is to survive. On the contrary, the life of a tepid liquor like Maotai is much easier.
When the country feels that its food reserves are safe, it begins to liberalize the domestic liquor market. The previously dominant liquor industry was exhausted, so Moutai took advantage of the trend and put the word "national liquor" in front of its name, and became the leader of the domestic liquor industry.
Therefore, sometimes business strength and opportunities are both important, and whether the country gives you face is equally important. Without one of the three, you can’t even try to grow big.
First we went to the new house next to the old house. The family's house was usually in the house on the street, and the other half was in the new house. This is because Ou Zhouya and Yang Ma were both at the new house. They happened to go over to get the wine and shouted hello, telling them that they would not be at home for dinner tonight.
After the excitement of the wedding, the new house seemed a bit deserted. Except for my own family, women in the village didn't come here very much. Only those who had been close to each other for several years were walking around.
The reason why this phenomenon occurs is not because the Yang family is jealous because they have become rich in the village. The main reason is that the decoration of the new house is so good, with tile floors. Rural people who often watch TV now always feel that when they come to the new house, they feel like they have entered. Do wealthy people in the city need to wear slippers or pay attention to other things?
Women are happy to sit together and chat. If they feel a little restrained when they come here, they naturally don't want to come more often. However, after this phenomenon starts in spring, it will basically not be a big problem if the greening around the house is done well.
When the weather gets hot, especially during summer vacation, there will definitely be children running here, because in addition to greening, Yang Ye has built several table tennis tables and a basketball court.
The football field is a bit unaffordable to build. After all, the new house is located in the middle of the old house, and there is enough space around it to build a basketball court. The football field is obviously not enough space.
With these things, as well as swings and horizontal bars, etc., when there are big trees in the summer, many children will help a rocker to play between two big trees. This place will definitely become more lively by then, even if there is no one at home. It can add a lot of popularity.
The furniture in the new house was a little messy on the day of the wedding, but now Father Yang called a few old brothers, and then Yang Dongxu called Xiaowu and others to come over and help move it around and put it in place.
Now Yang's mother is cleaning the room with her elder sister, Zhou Ya, and several women from her aunt's family. At the end of the year, every household needs to do a general cleaning. The new house is too big and has too many rooms, so it needs to be done a few days in advance. Otherwise, when the pig farm on the street gets busy in a few years, there will be no time. .
"I want to sleep here, I don't want to sleep on the street." As the youngest child in the family, although Dandan did not challenge Yang's father and Yang's mother in marriage, she is currently the most favored in the family.
Although they have already agreed to get married next year, their personality is still a bit like that of a child. Seeing how comfortable the new house was, and how convenient it was to have a toilet and the like. She didn't have to brave the cold wind to run to the dry toilet behind the house to get into bed at night, so she wanted to sleep here.
"There are many rooms here, and there are also new quilts. You can choose a room and tidy it up and live here. My eldest sister must live here too. Why are three of us sleeping tonight? Asahi is going to drink and come back drunk. If you are angry, let him go to sleep in the house over the street." Zhou Ya said with a smile.
Although it was a bit awkward to stay with her family at first, after all, a newlywed daughter-in-law and a girlfriend are two different concepts, but she has adjusted over the past few days. According to rural customs, even though she is older, because she is married to Yang Dongxu, it becomes more and more comfortable to call Hongying her eldest sister.
"How can you ruin the new quilt? Let her go back and bring over the quilt on her bed." Yang's mother glanced at her little daughter.
"Just hug me." Dandan pouted and hummed, running downstairs to hug the quilt.
"You drink less." She was teasing her daughter. Seeing Yang Dongxu holding a broken bottle in his arms and holding two bottles of Wuliangye in the other hand, Yang's mother began to scold her son again.
After having a daughter-in-law, the unmarried eldest daughter in the family and the son, who usually seems to be quite pleasing to the eye, are now upset no matter how they look at them.
This is the time when the next generation is needed to be born to withstand the firepower. For example, if the old sister has a child now, or if Zhou Ya is pregnant, Yang’s mother will definitely not have the same temper as she does now, and the smile on her face will be at least twice as bright as now.
"I know, let's have a little drink with Daliang and Xiaowu. Everyone knows that he can't drink much. By the way, where is my brother-in-law? He is bored at home alone, so I asked him to go over and have a drink with me. Daliang Their brothers-in-law also know each other." Because of his wedding issues and the fact that his eldest sister Hongying is pregnant, Yang's mother is worried, so they will celebrate the New Year here this year.
"I'm working on the pig farm. Do you think I'm as lazy as you and don't do anything?" Yang's mother glared at her son angrily.
Yang Dongxu quickly shut up, rubbed oil on his soles, and left to avoid getting scolded.
When a son-in-law comes to his mother-in-law's house, although the mother-in-law has to prepare wine and food to serve him, the son-in-law also needs to show his hardworking side, right?
If he, his own son, snatches his brother-in-law's opportunity to perform, wouldn't he be a bad person?
Well, in fact he also found that he seemed to be a bit lazy. When I'm not at home, I often call my parents to ask them to take care not to overwork themselves.
A few days before I came back, I could help with the work, but now I basically just go away, playing games in a boring daze and not wanting to work in the pig farm.
In fact, there is not much hard work in the pig farm. After all, there are six permanent workers in the pig farm, who are all strong laborers. No one else needs to intervene in feeding the pigs, cleaning and so on.
That is to say, the pig seller will only occasionally lend a hand if he is really busy. Mother and Aunt Yang will not come to the new house to help sweep the floor so freely now. After all, the furniture in the new house has been arranged and it was cleaned once before the wedding. If you are too busy, it doesn't matter if you don't clean it a second time.
