- ?
? On the second day of the first lunar month, it is time to visit relatives and friends.
At this time of year, they must first gather at the grandfather's house.
The relatives on my mother's side are mainly concentrated in the two yards near my grandfather's side, which happens to be about one kilometer below our yard, so they are called the relatives below.
There are many relatives below, besides grandpa, grandma, and eldest son-in-law's family, there is also grandpa's elder brother¡ª¡ªgrandfather.
Grandpa's sister-aunt.
Grandpa's son¡ª¡ªuncle.
Erniang and so on.
We are visiting relatives here, and we are visiting relatives during the New Year. We must not go empty-handed, we must bring some gifts.
If there are elders at home, you have to bring dozens of eggs to show your care for the elderly.
The grandpa's family and the grandpa's family belong to the immediate family, so they have to add another piece of bacon.
The bacon in autumn is golden yellow, with some black ash floating from the stove sticking to the surface, and the oil on the surface of the bacon after drying has been released, and the gloss is very high.
Take off the bacon, wash the surface with water, wrap it in a newspaper, stuff it into the back bag, and stuff it with other New Year's goods. The three of us, my parents, and I embarked on the path to grandpa's house
When I arrived at my grandfather's house, I put down the bag, and two bags full of things were piled up in the kitchen. My mother started the first round of sorting.
One piece of bacon, choose the biggest one; 20 eggs and duck eggs, a bottle of wine, a box of tea, a bag of sugar, a handful of dried noodles, and a bag of Weiwei soybean milk powder. grandpa.
"Dad, come here, here is something for you." Mom said with a smile.
"Oh, what are you doing with so many things! You take those relatives first, we don't care." Grandpa said.
However, my mother still didn't listen to my grandfather's suggestion and moved the things to my grandfather's bedroom.
After getting the things, start preparing for the next one.
Grandpa's house is next door to Grandpa's house, separated by a wall. The earth wall is made of mud bricks, the roof is made of small blue tiles and asbestos tiles, and there are several grapefruit trees in the courtyard dam. My uncle's family lived here before. By chance, the house next door to Xiaoshulin moved out. My uncle bought his house, and the family moved there.
Mom took the bag hanging on the wall, put the things in it, and let me carry it to Grandpa's house by myself.
"Grandpa, grandma! I'm here to wish you New Year greetings!" Carrying a bag of New Year's goods, I stepped into the kitchen of my grandpa's house through the back door.
Grandpa and grandma are cooking breakfast, the stove is burning with raging fire, and the pot full of porridge is constantly tumbling, with blisters of different sizes.
"Ren Tao is here! Where are your parents?" The grandpa greeted with a smile.
"My mother and the others are here too, at Grandpa's side." As I spoke, I handed over the bag in my hand.
"Oh, just come here, you still have so many things!" The old lady scolded.
"It's for New Year's greetings. My mother asked me to bring it." I bite the bullet and stuffed the bag to the old woman.
To be honest, I have absolutely no experience in this kind of on-the-scene communication. I don't know how to deal with situations where others refuse, question, or half-joke.
The eldest mother-in-law took the bag and motioned me to follow her to the back room.
After passing through the main room, I came to the bedroom. Under the dim light, the indoor visibility was very low. After the grandma turned on the light, the fifteen-watt bulb provided a little light for the bedroom.
The eldest grandmother carefully took out the things in her pocket and piled them on the cabinet. There were already some New Year's goods on it, which should have been sent by other relatives.
"Come on, Taotao, take Doudou back." The old lady handed Doudou to me with a smile.
As soon as I received Doudou, the other hand of the big granny quickly passed something into my hand, and said: "Here, take it, the annual money that the big aunt gave you."
"Brother-in-law, I can't ask for it! I'm already this old, so why do I need the annual money!" Before coming here, my mother made it clear that I must not ask for the annual money given by the elder mother-in-law.
?For one thing, the eldest mother-in-law and the great-grandfather are old and have no way to earn money. The money they have on them is saved by saving eggs and duck eggs on weekdays.
Second, relatives and friends occasionally give them some money, and the elders are reluctant to use it. They save it for the New Year's money during the Chinese New Year, so this money cannot be accepted.
The old lady said earnestly: "Taotao, the old lady is very happy when you come to pay New Year's greetings. This is also a little wish from the old lady. You must take it."
I pushed back the big granny's hand, and continued to explain: "My mother said, I really can't have it! ??
"Take it~! You think the old lady has little money, don't you? Your great-grandfather and I are both old and can't earn much money. Don't think it's too little!"
Once the grandma said that, I felt bad in my heart, so I hesitated to take the ten dollars.
"Thank you, grandma!"
"Taotao, you don't have to eat breakfast. Our porridge has just been cooked." As soon as he walked to the kitchen with his bag in hand, the grandfather happened to be serving porridge.
"Grandpa, I came here after eating, you guys eat slowly, I'll pass by first, wait for you to come and play." I tried to slow down my pace and keep smiling, and when I walked out of the kitchen, I felt that no one could see After me, I took a deep breath and ran to Grandpa's house.
I am really not good at this kind of polite communication between people. I always feel that there are some shackles on my back, and I feel uncomfortable.
"Mom, the eldest mother-in-law gave me ten yuan for the year." I handed the pocket and the money to my mother.
"You want money from the old lady? Didn't I tell you not to take it?"
"She forced it to me, and said that I don't want it because I don't think the money is small" I said speechlessly.
Mom then started to pick up things, this time sending them to Er Niang's family.
I was carrying my bag and was about to go out when I was stopped by San Niang who was coming.
"Ren Tao, wait a minute, wait until my younger sister goes over with me." Under Sanniang's gesture, I stayed and waited for Fengmeier to come together, pick up the things they prepared for Erniang, and walk to Erniang's house together .
Erniang and Erniang were both at home. After exchanging pleasantries, Erniang stuffed another ten yuan into his pocket.
Alas, I am really speechless!
It's like this every time!
No matter how I refuse, the master will find various reasons and force me to give me some money. Can't you just listen to my advice?
After some walking around, Feng Meier and I were both very tired, and we carried it around and around. The amount of labor alone was terrifying.
Going out with a full load and returning empty pockets, a lot of New Year's goods in exchange for a few banknotes, this is not a transaction
The next step is the main event!
The whole family started to go to the aunt's house together!
Lunch was eaten at my aunt's house. Uncle Yuan Yong started preparing lunch early in the morning, and Li Niang and my aunt were in charge.
It is not an easy task to serve four or five tables.
Lively and unprecedented!
The sound of mahjong in Manyuanba and the laughter of children add infinite fun to the morning of the second day of junior high school~ (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
