Time flies by, like a dream, and it’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye.
The grain store gave me a day off, and I had to go to work after New Year's Eve.
Chu Heng originally wanted to take a nap today, but it wasn't even six o'clock before the little carrots in the courtyard started setting off firecrackers all over the courtyard. They made loud noises every now and then, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.
"These bastards can't stop for a while." He cursed and got up from the bed, put on his clothes shivering, then went to the public toilet outside to drain the water, and when he came back, he quickly lit a fire for the stove.
When the room got warmer, he went to fetch water and wash up.
After washing my face, brushing my teeth, I took a pack of Phoenix brand shampoo that I got through some connections and washed my hair. In the blink of an eye, this guy changed from an unkempt slovenly guy to a clean and tidy guy. Handsome.
"It's another day when I wake up to my handsomeness." Chu Heng stood in front of the large mirror mounted on the dressing table and took a picture. He took out a plate of steaming beef filling dumplings from the warehouse and prepared to go to him after finishing the meal. The second uncle’s family celebrates the New Year together.
He is a bachelor with no father or mother, so he must go to Chu Jianshe's house for New Year's Eve dinner.
"Is Tsuneko up?"
As soon as Chu Heng picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, the third uncle's voice sounded outside the door. He was sending couplets.
"Get up!" He put down his chopsticks helplessly, quickly took some peanuts and melon seeds and a few pieces of fruit candies from the warehouse and put them into a small plate, then got up and went out.
When he opened the door, he saw the third uncle standing outside the door, holding a pair of Spring Festival couplets on red paper with black characters for exchanging peanuts and melon seeds. His wife, the third aunt, stood holding a bamboo basket for holding things. aside.
The old couple are both beaming with joy. Today is their day to get rich!
"Third uncle, third aunt, you two woke up really early. I just had to eat this meal." Chu Heng handed over the plate in his hand with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the Spring Festival couplets. Don't be dissatisfied with the lack of things." .”
In fact, he gave a lot of things. Other people usually just give them a handful of peanuts and melon seeds. He also gave a few extra pieces of candy, which is a high consumption...
When the third uncle saw that there were still candies, he immediately beamed with wrinkles on his face. He quickly gave his wife a wink and told her to take it over quickly. Then he unfolded the Spring Festival couplets and said with a smile: "Come on, Hengzi, look. Look at this couple, the first couplet means everything will be smooth sailing and the auspicious stars will arrive; the second couplet means everything will go well and blessings will come to your door, and you will celebrate the Spring Festival."
Too vulgar!
Chu Heng rolled his eyelids and complained secretly in his heart, but he gave a thumbs up on his face: "The words are good, the calligraphy is even better, the iron painting and the silver hook are his own style, and he is chasing Yan Liu! Third uncle, please leave It’s just one step away from being a famous person.”
Well... just about to die.
"You are really good at joking. How dare I compare with those two masters." What the third uncle is most proud of is his calligraphy. After a few words of praise, his heart feels like being soaked in warm water. That is called a sense of comfort: "cadre It's just different, he speaks at a better level than others."
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the guy named Silly Zhu who spoke openly.
They are all bachelors. Look at Hengzi’s level, and look at that guy. He still wants to marry Teacher Ran. You are worthy of that, too! ?
Since he can talk, he must have a few more words. The two men exchanged some business boasts, and the third uncle, who was anxious to make a fortune, reluctantly turned around and went to Aunt Li's house next door.
Chu Heng took the pairs back to the house and threw them by the door window. After finishing the meal, he set up a pot to boil water, put some white flour in and cooked it to make a paste, which he would use to stick the pairs later.
If Miss Ni was here, she would nag him to death.
After a while, the paste was cooked. He picked up the pot and poured it into a small bowl. He also took a small brush and took the Spring Festival couplets to the door.
Brush it a few times to stick it together, and there will be some paste left at the bottom of the bowl.
Chu Heng stood at the door and took a look. Seeing that the sticker was quite strong, he turned and walked towards the sink in the center of the courtyard, ready to wash the dishes and brushes.
A child from another hospital who was watching the excitement lit up when he saw this and hurriedly ran up: "Brother Hengzi, let me wash it for you."
Without waiting for Chu Heng to agree, the boy snatched the bowl and brush away, then stuck out his tongue and started licking...
"Oh shit! How dirty this is!" Chu Heng was dumbfounded. He knew this kid, his nickname was Tiedan, but he didn't know his other name. He lived in the yard next door, and his family was in a difficult situation.
“It smells so good!”
Tiedan licked the bowl clean in a few mouthfuls, and then started sucking the brush again. Finally, he smacked his lips with unfinished content, turned around and ran to the sink to rinse himself.
When Chu Heng got the things again, his expression was complicated.
It's not that I dislike it, it's just that I feel uncomfortable. How greedy do you have to be to lick this muddy paste? One can imagine how difficult life was for his family.
Chu Heng, the grandson who was always good and bad, suddenly started to show his kindness. He reached into his pocket and took out three or four pieces of fruit candies. He smiled and scolded the child: "I have prepared the candies, and you don't know how to give them to me, you bastard." Have a good year."
Tiedan was inexplicably surprised and hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Happy New Year, Brother Hengzi!"
"It's good for you too." Chu Heng smiled and put the candy in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Get out of here."
"Thank you, Brother Hengzi." Tiedan clutched the candy tightly and ran out of the hospital happily, planning to go back and share it with his younger brothers and sisters.
Seeing this, other children nearby also gathered around and worshiped him with wailing noises.
"Happy New Year to Uncle Hengzi!"
"Brother Hengzi, have a prosperous New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Brother Hengzi."
Naturally, the big dog owner is not short of these things, and he said to the children with a smile: "Everyone wait in line, I will get you some candies."
After saying that, he went back to the house and came out after a while carrying a plate of colorful fruit candies.
This one is pretty good, the white rabbit, red shrimp cakes and so on are so cool.
The children had already lined up, each one looking eagerly at the plate in his hand. Although they all bought candies at home, they only got a few pieces, which could not satisfy their greedy stomachs.
Chu Heng didn’t give much, just two yuan per person.
At this time, you can see the upbringing of each family. Some children will say thank you to him after taking the candy, while others will run away after getting the candy.
The son of the widow's family, Bang Jian, stood in the distance and looked at the children who were happily sharing the candies.
Ever since he was exposed about stealing eggs, he has always been afraid of Chu Heng. He would always stay far away when he saw him, how could he dare to get close to him.
After standing there and watching for a while, Banggeng was really greedy. He rolled his eyes, wiped himself away and ran to find Shazhu.
Chu Heng quickly finished distributing the candy, and there was a plate full of candy cubes, with not a single one left.
"No more, just go and do whatever you have to do."
He raised the empty plate, dismissed the children who didn't want to leave, and returned to the house.
After cleaning up briefly, Chu Heng left the house with large and small bags and rushed to his second uncle's house.
He gave several annual gifts, and Chu Jianshe's was the most generous.
He took out some cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea, ribs, elbows, pig's trotters, and other things given to him by Bai Bart and Zhao Weiguo.
These big and small bags can hardly fit on the bicycle.
