Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 94 New Year Greetings

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Ping got up from the kang in the hatch room of the chicken farm, clutching his forehead, and it was still dark outside.

Uncle Wei Guo came in from the outside. He just added some firewood to the fire wall of the chicken coop. He Ping drank too much last night, so he didn't dare to sleep. The temperature of the chicken coop had to be maintained, and the fire wall had to keep burning.

"Wake up, He Ping."

"Well, what time is it, Uncle Wei."

"It's just five o'clock."

He Ping got up to get dressed, "I have to go back and cook for Xiao Zhu'er."

He Ping was very drunk yesterday. Uncle Wei Guo and Han Zhaojun put him on the kang and he fell asleep. Xiao Zhuer went home to sleep by himself. He Ping's house is only 200 meters away from the chicken farm.

When He Ping got home, Xiao Zhuer was still sleeping.Children, no matter how diligent they are, they always snooze.

He Ping put the new underwear, new clothes, and new socks prepared for Xiao Zhu'er next to his pillow, and took out the lucky money that he had prepared in advance, and wrapped a piece of "Unity" in it, which is definitely a huge sum of money for the child .

Then he turned around and went to cook. There was still a lot left over from yesterday's reunion dinner, so He Ping just wanted to get bored and heat up the dishes.

He Ping saw that it was past six o'clock, so he came over to wake up Xiao Zhu'er.

Xiao Zhuer rubbed her eyes, "Dad, Happy Chinese New Year."

He Ping smiled and said, "Da'er, Happy Chinese New Year."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, He Ping said: "Hurry up and get dressed for dinner, let's go out to celebrate the New Year."

He Ping, an outsider, actually has nothing to do to pay New Year's greetings. The main thing is to go to the old captain and Uncle Yuzheng.

The father and son were eating, and the sound of firecrackers rang outside. The first day of the new year was indispensable. He Ping also symbolically set off a whip, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new!

After eating, the father and son went out wearing new clothes. At this time, the streets of Hantun should be the busiest time of the year, and people from every household came out to visit relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they chanted auspicious words about a happy New Year.

He Ping smiled and said hello to everyone he met. He is a foreigner in Hantun, but he has gained a lot of popularity over the past year, and everyone greets him with a smile.

When we arrived at the old captain’s house, the old captain was sitting on the kang and smoking a pipe. Like his generation, except for a few “iron” generation in the team who need to go to New Year’s greetings, they basically sit on the kang at home and wait for the younger generation to come. New Year's greetings will do.

"Happy New Year, old captain, Happy New Year, captain's aunt."

"Happy New Year to the captain, and happy New Year to the captain's grandma."

After He Ping's New Year's greetings, Xiao Zhu'er followed suit. Now there are only two old captains and his wife in the family, and the youngest son Han Zhaokun and his wife took their children out for New Year's greetings.

"Well, Happy New Year to you too." The old captain took out a two-cent bill and handed it to Xiao Zhu'er.

He Ping curled his lips in his heart, old man, you are really picky, just give me [-] cents, and I have prepared a card for your granddaughter.

He Ping saw that the old captain didn't smile after giving the money, and kept smoking the pipe and pot. He knew the reason why the old captain was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to make a fool of himself. down to business.

"Old captain, according to the current hatching speed, our chicken farm will be full in one month. I plan to expand the production scale. What do you think?"

"It's up to you to make decisions about the chicken farm. The eggs have to be sold."

"Don't worry about this. The supply of eggs in our chicken farm is in short supply. The city and four counties in the Yingcheng area are all within our radiation range."

So far, the egg production period of the chicken farm has only been three months, and He Ping has devoted a lot of energy to the expansion of channels.

At this time, eggs are the same as pork, and the price is almost the same.He Ping and the others mainly focus on the urban market. In this era, the consumption of eggs in rural areas is almost zero. There are two reasons. First, almost every rural family raises chickens. The eggs they produce may be kept for themselves or sold to Supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores, these rural families are definitely not He Ping’s target customers; secondly, the price of eggs is still relatively luxurious for rural families in this era, and there are only a handful of rural families who can use eggs as daily consumption. So He Ping's main market can only be cities.

However, He Ping believes that this situation will not last for too long. As the trend of opening up becomes more and more obvious and people's lives are getting better and better, everyone's consumption of eggs and chicken will definitely usher in a big leap.

"That's fine. You are the backbone of the chicken farm, so you just know what to do." The old captain's performance today was completely different from his usual performance. It seemed that he was really annoyed by his son.

"Well, I'll leave first. After the fifteenth day, I'll have a detailed chat with you about the expansion of the chicken farm."

He Ping took Xiao Zhuer out of the old captain's house, and saw Han Zhaokun returning with his wife and children for New Year's greetings.

"Brother Zhaokun, Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"

"happy New Year."

They wished each other a happy new year, and He Ping gave the prepared lucky money to Han Zhaokun's little girl, Han Xue'e. It was the first time in her life that the little girl got so much lucky money, and she showed her happy little teeth, and said sweetly: " Thank you Uncle He Ping."

"He Ping, look why you are so polite, there's no need." Han Zhaokun fumbled in his pocket in a hurry. It's the same reason that the New Year's money follows the ceremony. Both families have a child. When they gave the New Year's money, he couldn't express it at all. , besides, the ticket is still so big.

"Come on, second brother, you don't have to be polite, I'll go first."

He Ping didn't give Han Zhaokun a chance to take out the money, so he took Xiao Zhuer and left.

Han Zhaokun looked at He Pingyuan's back, thinking that He Ping was a good guy, why Zhaogui didn't understand how he got along with him.

Arriving at Han Yuzheng's home, just in time for Han Zhaoguo and his wife to pay New Year's greetings to their parents.

"Isn't that a coincidence, it just happened to take a few steps less, everyone, happy Chinese New Year!" He Ping said with a smile, otherwise he would have to make a special trip to Han Zhao's country to pay New Year's greetings.

"Brother He Ping, Happy New Year." Seeing He Ping, Han Zhaoshe ran up to He Ping with a brisk walk, bowed and greeted him with a smile.

Can He Ping not know his little mischief, "Happy Chinese New Year, Zhaoshe."

After speaking, he took out a big unity card from his pocket.

"Brother He Ping is still open, second brother, take a look at Brother He Ping, and then look at you, you are also an elder brother, why is the gap in life so big."

Han Zhaoshe accepted He Ping's Great Unity with a smile on his face, and did not forget to turn around and mock his second brother.

Han Zhaojun was so angry that he wanted to give Han Zhaoshe a kick. Fortunately, this kid ran fast.

Han Yuzheng, who was sitting at the top of the kang, said, "He Ping, what are you doing, just give me a dime and you'll be fine."

"Have a happy Chinese New Year!"

He Ping did not burn with money. In the year since he came to Hantun, whether it was the old captain or Han Yuzheng's family, he had received a lot of help from others. Giving New Year's money was not to show off his wealth, but to show an attitude. He Ping Is a person who knows how to be grateful.
