It is a custom of the Sun family to go back to their natal family to pay New Year greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It was formed when every family (grandma) was here. When every family leaves, they go home to visit the graves, set off whips, and worship ancestors on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they pay New Year greetings to their uncle. In the evening Instead of going home, I went on to pay New Year greetings to my second uncle and aunt on the second day of the Lunar New Year. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my uncle, second uncle and aunt went to Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings. For three days in a row, I ate meat and drank wine, and the relatives talked and laughed together, and had a good time.
Unless I go back to Hunan Province with my grandson’s father to celebrate the New Year, I spend it like this every year, eating, drinking and having fun.
When Sun Jian and his younger siblings came back from their uncle, second uncle and aunt's New Year's greetings last year, each of them had three yuan of new year's money in their pockets. After going to school with pay in his previous life, he no longer had any new year's money.
Sun Jian recalled these happy New Year times many times in his previous life. As the old people left one by one, the family ties between cousins also faded.
Ha ha……
A person has a face and a tree has a skin!
Although grandma cares about money, her eldest son gives Wuliangye and Yongguang cigarettes to her eldest brother, second brother and eldest sister during the Chinese New Year, which is to increase her face.
The eldest son is now the owner of four Qiming bookstores!
The envy of relatives and neighbors will make grandma feel happy for a long time.
"Jianjian, you are the big boss now, why do you still care about one yuan of lucky money?"
"Aunt Wang, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. These two Yongguang cigarettes are from Jianjian to honor Uncle Liu during the New Year!"
"Jianjian, you're so polite!"
"Sister Wang, take it, Jianjian's mind!"
"Thank you Jianjian!"
Liu's mother was happy, and she became more and more satisfied with Sun Jian's son-in-law.
-------
"Dad, this is my second eternal light smoke to honor you!"
"Jianjian, spend money randomly!"
Sun's father now always carries a pack of Yongguang cigarettes on his person. When he meets his colleagues or leaders, he offers one as a token of respect. He still smokes swimming cigarettes often. He even hates to smoke the five packs of Chinese cigarettes on the five-drawer cabinet, keeping them to entertain distinguished guests during the Chinese New Year. .
Having been used to being frugal all his life, Sun Jian will not change his parents' living habits and ways after his rebirth, but he will still buy what he needs to buy. This is the gratitude of a child.
-------
"Mom, you and Dad just sit and watch TV and crack melon seeds. I'll cook and Yuanyuan will do the cooking for me!"
"Brother, I'm here!"
Children from poor families have early heads of family. The Sun family is a dual-income family in Jianggang. The income of the grandson's father and grandma is above the average among ordinary families in Jiangcheng. Although Sun Jian and his three siblings could only eat meat once a week or so, they had never been hungry. I have new clothes and lucky money during the New Year, and my childhood was very happy.
While his parents were at work, Sun Jian, like Liu Yue, had taken care of his younger siblings since he was a child. Lighting the stove, cooking and washing clothes were all commonplace. In addition, since he was a child, he had to skip doing things and do them well. He bought back the "Family Cookbook". After practicing many times and becoming self-taught, the dishes I cook now are even inferior to Grandmother and Aunt Wang in terms of variety, color, flavor and aroma.
Stir-fried beef with red pepper, spicy shredded tripe, braised red yuanzi, black fungus fish fillet, mushroom chicken nuggets, fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled pork slices, fried lotus root clips, stir-fried beetroot and sweet white fungus lotus seed soup , ten dishes and one soup are served.
Ten dishes and one soup for five people is luxurious enough, but the Chinese New Year dinner without ten dishes and one soup is unjustifiable. The dishes Sun Jian cooks are on small plates, and the portions are not large. After finishing the meal, the family has to go back to his hometown to pay New Year greetings for two days. Keeping leftovers in the refrigerator isn’t a good idea these days.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my mother-in-law's family will go to the city to visit Sun's family for New Year's greetings. In addition to adding some belongings, the family's life can be seen from a New Year's dinner.
As plates of delicious, fragrant and steaming delicacies were brought to the table by Sun Yuan, Sun's father and Sun Shun began to post couplets. Sun Shun went downstairs to set off firecrackers. The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and everyone in the neighborhood knew that the Sun family was going to eat. It’s family reunion dinner.
After Sun's father finished offering sacrifices to his ancestors, the family served the table. Sun's father took out a bottle of Baiyunbian. Sun Jian poured a glass for his parents, Sun Shun and himself, and Sun Yuan had half a glass.
"Dad, Mom, you have worked hard this year. This is my son's honor to you. I wish you good health!"
Sun Jian took out two big red envelopes from his purse, with ten big solidarity cards in each. He handed them to his surprised parents with both hands. There was no such program before. Unknowingly, his eldest son graduated from technical secondary school and stayed in school to become a surgical teacher. , he was admitted to college, and became the owner of four Qiming bookstores. The family successively added a water heater, a color TV, a refrigerator, a gas stove, and ran to the front of the neighborhood. The eldest son has changed a lot. , now pays 50 yuan in living expenses every month, and gives each younger brother and sister a pocket money of 10 yuan. In the past, the grandma gave her eldest son one yuan as a new year's gift.
"Jianjian, keep it for yourself!"
Grandmother and grandfather looked at their eldest son who had become an adult with joy, and their shoulders relaxed a lot.
"Mom and Dad, this will happen every year from now on. Don't worry about money. As long as you are healthy, everything will be fine!"
"Shunshun, Yuanyuan, you have them too!"
Sun Jian took out two more red envelopes, two red envelopes for each person.
"Thank you kidnapper!"
"Thank you, brother!"
"Shunshun, Yuanyuan, this is the New Year's money given to you by your parents!"
Grandmother Sun paid two yuan per person this time, which was double the amount last year.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
"Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
The family had a happy New Year's dinner, Sun Shun washed the dishes, Sun Jian and Sun Yuan cleaned up, took out the trash, the family took a bath and put on new clothes, and the grandson's mother and grandson did the laundry.
If the old doesn't go, the new won't come!
You are not allowed to take out the trash in the first and second grades of junior high school!
The family sits in the TV factory eating melon seeds, eating peanuts, and watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is prosperous and lively. This is the life of most Chinese families on New Year's Eve. Without the Spring Festival Gala, New Year's Eve would not be complete.
In this era, mobile phones have not yet appeared, and there are no telephones installed at home. There are no text messages to reply, and there are no noisy New Year greeting calls. Secretary Sun does not need to worry about hospital accidents and sleepless nights. Now, in his eyes, his parents and younger siblings are beside him. It's his world.
No matter what happens in the world, he has nothing to do with him. He is a reborn person!
Hosts Zhao Zhongxiang, Wang Gang, Jiang Kun, Liu Xiaoqing, Fang Shu and Gu Yongfei, dressed in festive costumes, took to the stage.
"New Year's Song" sung by Jiang Dawei and Peng Liy kicked off the show, followed by "Come to the Ends of the World" by Cheng Fangyuan. Teacher Jiang Dawei sang another song "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom". Jiang Dawei, Cheng Fangyuan, Peng Liy, Dong Whua, Liu Xiaoqing, Yu Junjian, Yin Xiumei, Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Liu Wei, Feng Gong, Jiang Kun, Tang Jiezhong, Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan took turns to compete in the show, and it was exciting.
Grandfather and granddaughter and Shunshun Yuanyuan laughed heartily.
During the holidays, Sun Jian, who was sitting in the back, would naturally think of Bi Xiaoyun and Sun Jia who were sad because of his sudden departure. His nose would feel sore and his eyes would be filled with mist.
Firecrackers were going off outside. Sun Jian accompanied his father downstairs to explode the firecrackers. Sun's mother, Sun Shun and Sun Yuan could no longer bear it and had already gone to bed.
The bells for the Year of the Tiger rang, and all the cast and crew sang "New Year's Song", and the Spring Festival Gala came to an end.
