Chapter 605 619 [Visiting the New Year]

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Song family---
The breakfast on New Year's Day is basically dumplings.

That's right, it was dumplings last night, and it was still dumplings this morning, so Song Zhichao couldn't eat anymore.

Look at Dad Song Haiming, who also wore a new suit today, but it was a green Chinese tunic suit made of "delicate" fabric, with a thick sweater inside--according to Wang Jinfeng, he bought it two years ago and has been reluctant to part with it Wearing it, Song Haiming regarded it as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and it was the first time to take it out and put it on today.

Wang Jinfeng is also wearing new clothes, not the kind of expensive duck down jacket, but a floral padded jacket she made from torn cloth herself, and it looks pretty good in it—for women, basically, you have to change it for Chinese New Year if you have money. new clothes.

In fact, Wang Jinfeng was very beautiful, and she was a well-known beauty when she was young. Otherwise, marrying Song Haiming would not have given birth to a handsome son like Song Zhichao.It's just that rural women generally don't know how to take care of themselves. The biggest maintenance in their life is to apply "snow cream" or lipstick. The luxury cosmetics and skin care products like those women in Hong Kong are simply neither available nor affordable.Therefore, Wang Jinfeng is a bit older than his actual age. He is in his forties, but he looks like 45-[-].

Wang Jinfeng packed the presents for her husband and son to pay New Year's greetings to the third uncle, such as pastries, fruits, candies, and a lot of other messes.

"This is for the third uncle, this is for the eldest son-in-law, and these are for the second son-in-law, and these are for..." Wang Jinfeng told Song Haiming and Song Zhichao in detail with those gifts.

In fact, those gifts are common things. For example, the cakes are packaged biscuits and snacks in bulk, and then affixed with a red birthday star label. Once they are bundled, they are ready.

And the fruit, in fact, is the most common "canned fruit", such as "canned pineapple" and "canned apple with honey juice".

It is impossible to carry so many things to visit relatives by hand, so basically use a large fruit box, put them together in it, and then clip the box to the back of the [-] bicycle.

That's it, there are still a lot of things, there is no way, Song Haiming asked Song Zhichao to find a fish skin bag, put all those things into the bag, and then tied the fish skin bag to the left and right sides of the back of the car.

After doing this, it was almost 08:30, and without any further delay, Song Haiming called Song Zhichao and asked him to push the [-] Feige bicycle to the third uncle's house together.

……

Outside, the snow--
The heavy snow that fell all day yesterday finally stopped,
There were also a lot of red firecracker crumbs scattered at the gate of the Song family. The white and red contrasted, making the floor look red.

Song Zhichao pushed the car out the door, and saw a villager squatting at the door with a rice bowl.

When the neighbors saw the two, they laughed and said, "I heard that Chao is back, so it's true! They've grown up so much that they almost don't know each other."

Before Song Haiming could open his mouth to introduce, Song Zhichao had already kicked the stand behind him, stopped the bicycle, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile, "I just came back soon——Happy New Year!"

The neighbor hurriedly stood up, caught the cigarette, and smiled with smoky yellow teeth: "I haven't seen you for three or four years. Ah Chao is getting more and more sensible."

Song Haiming stepped forward and said that he and his son were going to pay New Year's greetings to the third uncle, and they were leaving, so they couldn't talk much.

The two pushed their bicycles and set off again.

The neighbor at the back looked at the cigarettes Song Zhichao handed over just now, and saw that it was still a foreign brand, and said, this kid is amazing, he already smokes foreign cigarettes, so he couldn't help but look at Song Zhichao more, guessing that Song Zhichao was working outside. how.

It turned out that everyone in the village knew that Song Zhichao was working in the south, but few people knew that he had already developed and went to Hong Kong.

Song Haiming thought that his son was doing bad things outside, so he didn't dare to say anything. When he had money, he stuffed it under the bed, and he didn't dare to show it off.

Therefore, everyone has always thought that the Song family is the same as before, and Song Zhichao is similar to before.

The neighbor couldn't figure it out, so he finally shook his head, wanted to put down his rice bowl, smoked the cigarette, put it next to his nose and smelled it, but couldn't bear it, and finally stuck it to his ear, thinking in his heart, when he went back to the house after eating, he would smoke again. Take your time and enjoy.

Along the way, there are many people squatting at the door and eating at the entrance of the village.Without waiting for Song Haiming's order and introduction, Song Zhichao took the initiative to greet him, letting smoke, talking and behaving very well, which surprised Song Haiming who was watching from the sidelines, and the neighbors also looked at this son of the Song family with admiration.

You know, Song Zhichao in the past was a nerd, he was stupid when he read books, and he didn't understand the world at all, let alone greet people, let him smoke or something, it was difficult for him to go out and talk to the big guys, plus I went out to work very early in the morning, so Song Zhichao gave everyone the impression that it's okay, it's okay, but right now--could it be said that going out to work can change a person's character?

In this way, along the way, everyone knew that Song Zhichao, the son of the Song family, had returned from working in the south, and became active and enthusiastic, as if he had changed.

Out of the village, head east all the way, stepping on the thick snow, passing the wheat field covered with snow, and walking through the grove with bare trees. The father and the father supported each other along the way, and they were even more cautious when going uphill and downhill. , some slippery places, Song Haiming asked Song Zhichao to hand over the bicycle to himself and let himself push it.

In this way, after more than half an hour, the two arrived at the village where Song Zhichao's third uncle lived.

In fact, many people in this village have the surname Song, so it is also called "Song Family Village".Almost all of Song Haiming's older generation came from this village, and moved to other villages after the land was divided.

The 89-year-old Song Taigong, Song Zhichao's third uncle, is highly respected in the village. One is that he is very old. He has lived from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present. I heard that he saw people beheaded in Caishi Street when he was a child. , What is the War of Resistance Against Japan, what is the War of Liberation... so many natural and man-made disasters have survived, which is considered an odd number.

In addition, this third uncle can read and write. He is a well-known cultural person in Shiliba Village. He writes very chic and beautiful calligraphy with a brush.

Finally, Song Taigong and his lineage have produced many capable people. For example, the village head of Songjia Village is his eldest son. The family has a high reputation in the entire village and surrounding villages.

Since then, Song Taigong's status in the village has become higher and higher, and he has been called the "old birthday star" and "living ancestor" by the Song clan.

At this time, the snow had been swept away in front of Song's house, and many bicycles and three motorcycles were parked. Looking carefully, one couldn't help but be amazed——there was even a black Santana car.

In this day and age, it is very rare to see such a car in such a village - a group of little kids are looking left and right around this strange car, and some of them can't help it. I reached out to touch it, but was stopped by an adult: "Don't touch it—we won't be able to pay for it if it breaks!"

The children stopped drinking, but the adult with the hood couldn't help but reached out and touched the car body, saying: "This is a car. I've seen it on TV and on the street before. This is a car." It's the first time I've touched it!"

It was in such an atmosphere that Song Zhichao followed behind his father Song Haiming, pushing the [-] Flying Pigeon bicycle with Chinese New Year gifts tied to the rear of the bicycle - biscuits, canned food, etc., crunching and stepping on the thick snow, towards the Go to the door of the third uncle's house.
