Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 443
Of course, these tasks are all done by women, and Ye Yuze was kicked out of the kitchen by his grandmother if he wanted to intervene. It is a village rule that men are not allowed in the kitchen and women are not at the table.But this means that when there are guests, the whole family can't eat without a woman at the table.

Grandma now has three daughters-in-law, and the most concrete manifestation of her growing team is that she can no longer move her hands.Only when you think the daughter-in-laws are stupid, will you demonstrate it yourself.

But the youngest daughter-in-law is now pregnant and her stomach is full.I can't let her do the hard work.After the old aunt enjoyed this preferential treatment, her belly became more and more high.

On the dumb window next to the stove, there is a statue of the Stove Lord and his wife. In front of it is a plate of sugar balls made from sweet potatoes. This kind of sugar is not very sweet, but very sticky.It is said that on the 28th of each year, the Stove Lord will go to heaven to see the Jade Emperor. In order to prevent him from speaking ill of his family, he uses this kind of candy to stick his mouth with sugar melon.

Ye Yuze is also one of the happiest people now.Because as soon as mom and dad forced him to read, grandma immediately scolded: "What book to read? My grandson can know everything without reading. What should I do if I feel stupid when reading?"

Ye Yuze was moved to tears, this empress dowager is wiser than the empress dowager!Seeing his mother being a daughter-in-law with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye, Ye Yuze felt that it was better to be in his hometown, with a straight back!

Going to the grave in the afternoon at [-] is a matter for the men. After lunch, post the couplets and stay up until four o'clock. Three brothers, three brothers, four brothers Ye Yuze, plus Ye Yuwang, the little guy from the uncle's family who just left, and eight The man set off firecrackers in the cemetery for three hours, and they didn't go home until there was no movement in other people's cemeteries.

Although grandma is at home, she can hear the movement on the graveyard clearly, knowing that her family is overwhelming, she feels relieved and waved her hand: "Eat the New Year's Eve dinner!"

The custom in my hometown is to eat steamed buns on New Year's Eve, but it refers to steamed stuffed buns as the staple food. Now that the Ye family has such conditions, how could it be possible to lose their share?There is a table of chicken, duck and fish.

The fourth child also made a big bowl of homemade barbecue. Today, the little guy is selfless and also contributed.I haven't forgotten to give grandma a piece, how can grandma chew this?It rolled in the mouth a few times before swallowing it, and then kept praising its deliciousness.

There is a saying of keeping the year old on New Year's Eve. It doesn't mean staying up all night, but keeping past twelve o'clock, so that it is considered to welcome the New Year.But most people don't sleep because they want to pay New Year's greetings.

The village pays attention to New Year's greetings as early as possible, which means that the family is diligent, so people have been paying New Year's greetings from three o'clock in the morning.

The children who are most enthusiastic about this matter, change into new clothes early one by one and wait for the adults to issue the order to pay New Year's greetings. Although they are almost too sleepy to kowtow, they will never give in.

The main reason is that New Year's money can be given to New Year's greetings. The more distant relationship is that you can mix some delicious food without giving New Year's money.No matter how stingy people are these days, they have to show a generous appearance.

It's just that there is a rule that Ye Yuze is not used to, that is, no sweeping the floor, no going to the toilet.It’s okay to sweep the floor, but this toilet can’t bear it!

It turns out that before the sun comes out, there is another kind of god that haunts the toilet, called the Pimple God. When you meet this god, you will get pimples all over your body. Although Ye Yuze is not afraid, you can't make grandma uncomfortable?So when he was in a hurry to urinate, he had to lead his younger brothers to drain water outside the gate collectively. As for how the women would solve this problem, he didn't know.

After dinner, people began to get together in twos and threes. Mahjong was not popular in the north at that time. Men gathered together to play Pai Gow. It was the black one with black and red dots engraved on it, which was bigger than mahjong but much thinner. .

There are two ways to play this kind of card, one is called Gong Niu, and the other is called Push Pai Gow, which is to compare the points.

A group of women came to the house to ask grandma to play long cards, which are colorfully painted cards similar to mahjong, which are usually played by women.

The men gathered in the old uncle's house to push Pai Gow, and the uncle didn't like to gamble, big or small.Ye Yuze joined in the fun with his old uncle, but after playing for a while, he lost several dollars. It turned out that he could only count points, but these are four cards that need to be matched by himself. , the devil of the emperor, made Ye Yuze look confused.

You can only follow other people's pressure. If others pick up money, he will pick up money, and if others lose money, he will lose money.But Ye Yuze doesn't like this kind of game, that is, when the banker deals the cards, he will limit the amount of money. The dealer calls the pot, that is, there is only so much money in the pot.But whoever comes up with five or ten yuan in the pot, how can he have that patience?

He directly asked the old uncle to deal the cards, and he sat in the dealership and directly put a dozen RMB in the basket: "There is no limit, bet whatever you want! You will pay as much as you bet!"

As a result, I didn't expect to be lucky, and it didn't take long for this group of people to be wiped out.Ye Yuze wanted to return all the money to everyone, but was stopped by the old uncle.Said to play for a few days during the Chinese New Year, no borrowing money is allowed at the poker table.If you give it back to them, they will continue to play and take your money to beat you, which is boring.

Grandma's card table doesn't close until twelve o'clock. In some places, dumplings are eaten at twelve o'clock, but there is no such custom here. You have to wake up to eat dumplings.

At three o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to sound in the village. The sound of the firecrackers was to tell everyone that the dumplings were cooked, and the New Year greetings began after eating.Every household also got up in a hurry to cook dumplings and set off cannons, otherwise they would be laughed at if they didn't open the door when they knocked on the New Year's greetings.

People in this village wake up before dawn to pay New Year's greetings, because after dawn, they start to go to relatives' homes in other villages to pay New Year's greetings.This counting number is not based on distance, but on relatives. The closer the relatives are, the earlier the day to go.

In the past, Ye Yuze really didn't know that there were so many relatives in his family, such as aunts, aunts, uncles, cousins.

New Year's greetings in rural areas are always in the morning, and New Year's greetings are not in the afternoon.They all play cards at home.And close relatives need to stay for food.Originally, Ye Yuze had to prepare some more snacks, and wanted to put some in every house.As a result, the two boxes of snacks in my hand were not missing for several days, but I didn't know how many times I changed them.

It turns out that New Year's greetings here pay attention to not letting relatives go away empty-handed. They either take what they brought with them, or accept yours, and then give you a box for you to take and go shopping.

At that time New Year's greetings were real New Year's greetings. When you went to someone's house, the elders would sit on the kang. When you entered the door, you had to shout: "Grandpa and grandma gave you New Year's greetings, then kneel down with your back to the old man, and kowtow three times to the north."

Of course, in ordinary families, the juniors in the family will stop you and prevent you from really knocking.But if some elderly people are at home, you have to really kowtow at this end.Others are deliberately asking you to knock, not stopping you.Anyway, Ye Yuze's knees were sore every day, and the ground was too hard.

　Where's the ticket, why can't I see it?
