Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 635 Another year!
After dinner, Li Haijun also fulfilled his promise!

Take the children out to play, one by one is very good at home, and turns into an alley stringer outside.

At night, red lanterns are hung at the door of every household.

Under the moonlight, firecrackers blared like thunder, and the pungent smell of nitrate and phosphorus was everywhere.

The remains of firecrackers are all over the ground, and the blood of the people who listen to it is boiling. Now it is not the next few decades, and today's New Year is very strong.

On New Year's Eve, no matter what kind of family it is, even if it is a bitter family that doesn't make new clothes for their children, they will eat meat dumplings and meat.

As some children were called back by their parents, I understood that the three siblings also came back.

Now that whipping is not strictly prohibited, Li Haijun took out the Sky Monkey, stuck it in the snow, and asked his son to light it.

"Whoo..."

"boom······"

An ear-piercing voice came to mind, the sky-scurrying monkey went to the sky.

Li'er raised her little head: "Father, the Sky-Scrolling Monkey has gone to the sky."

Li Haijun: "Yes, it's heaven."

"Father, what is the sky like?"

"Heaven, the sky is the Heavenly Palace!"

Li Haijun wanted to tell the girl about the Milky Way, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the child would become a hundred thousand reasons, so he told the story nonsense.

"Father, what is Tiangong?"

"Heavenly Palace, there is a heavenly court, and in the heavenly court, there is a Jade Emperor..."

Li Haijun: "Come on, let's go home and make dumplings."

"Father, you haven't finished talking about Heaven yet."

"It's a long story, and we're going to tell it slowly."

Enter the courtyard and close the gate.

Ding's mother had already started making dumplings at home, and Li Haijun washed his hands and joined in.

"Jin Xin, why didn't you go out to set off the whip this year?"

"Brother, I've grown up, and I'm not a child anymore."

Li Haijun can understand that he is also like this at Li Jinxin's half-old age.

I always think that I have grown up and matured, so I don’t want to do things that I think are childish, but in fact I am still a half-grown child.

It all came from this time, Li Haijun can understand.

Looking at his younger sister who had lost the baby fat on her face and became more and more slim, Li Haijun felt a little headache.

This girl graduated from high school, but she can't go to college.

No, Li Haijun suddenly remembered that she could find a way to operate it, but she became a student of workers, peasants and soldiers, a college student, and a technical secondary school student.

It's better than going to the mountains and going to the countryside. He's not Jiao Min, so he can't do such a cruel thing.

Li Jinxin was well educated by him and never participated in various activities. At the beginning, Li Haijun would drop off at school and pick her up after school, but when she saw that she knew how to keep herself clean, she no longer cared about her.

All the teachers' bicycles in the school were deflated and punctured, but she was the only one who didn't.

This is also due to her looks, let alone good-looking girls, who are popular at any time.

Everyone has different ways of making dumplings. The dumplings made by Ding Mu and Ding Qiunan are exquisite and beautiful.

Because of Liu Yatou's personality, the dumplings she made, um, have a lot of filling, but the appearance is unreadable.

As for Li Jinxin, it is quite satisfactory, not too many pleats.

There is a curtain in front of everyone, and a kind of dumpling is placed on the curtain.

Xiao Shengli came running: "Father, I'll help."

Li Haijun gave him a head of garlic: "Peel off the garlic skin and pound the garlic paste!"

Xiao Xue'er and Li'er, seeing Xiao Shengli running to perform, were not far behind: "Father, we also want to help."

Li Haijun squatted down: "You don't need it, just go and play."

Everyone else shook their heads helplessly.

Other families are patriarchal, but theirs is patriarchal. Li Haijun likes girls and doesn't like sons. How can he reason?
At this time, the little guy who was sleeping in the room woke up.

Liu Yatou: "Miss, go and see why my brother is crying."

Xiao Xueer ran into the bedroom: "Mom, brother wetted the bed."

Liu Yatou patted the flour on her hands: "I'm going to change Xiao Shengnan's diaper."

Father Li: "Navy, are you going back to the countryside this year?"

Li Haijun: "I don't think so, just burn some paper for my mother at the intersection."

"I've made up my mind, my mother won't blame you."

Father Li thought for a while, the whole family went to the countryside, the winter was so tossing, and more importantly, the little grandson was freezing.

"Okay, let's burn some paper at the intersection."

Li Haijun looked at Ding's mother: "Aunt Ding, you should also burn paper for uncle at the crossroads. The situation has not been good for the past two years, so let's not bother."

Mother Ding: "Okay, listen to you."

After the dumplings were made, Li Haijun put them in the pot to cook.

Ding Qiunan was heating up the leftovers, other people's families would try their best to leave as much food as possible, to win the prize and make more money every year.

But not the Li family, Li Haijun didn't like to eat leftovers, he ate as much as he could.

The dumplings are served and the dishes are finished.

Li Haijun went out and set off firecrackers at the door, and the New Year's Eve dinner officially started.

Li Haijun picks fishbone for the child: "Eat, eat more fish."

Father Li ate about four or five dumplings, stopped eating, and only cared about drinking.

Six girls: "Dad, you eat too little."

Ding Qiunan: "Alcohol hurts your health, you should eat more."

Father Li laughed and said, "Old man, I can't eat anymore."

"Watching you eat, I'm satisfied. Eat more and eat my share."

"Ouch."

Li Jinxin covered his mouth: "My teeth."

Spit out a candy bar from his mouth.

"Brother, why is there sugar in the dumplings?"

Li Haijun said with a smile: "I just put a few yuan at random, just to get a lottery."

The children were very energetic, because going out to play exhausted their physical strength, and each of them ate ten or eight dumplings.

After eating, the children get sleepy.

Li Haijun: "You guys go to sleep, I will sit and drink with my dad and watch the year."

Xiao Xueer: "Father, your heavenly story is not over yet."

Li Haijun: "Father will tell you about it tomorrow, so go to sleep."

The women and children have all gone to rest, except father Li and Li Haijun, father and son.

Li Haijun feels that Li's father is still young, and it is not a solution to always be alone.

"Dad, I admire the love between you and my mother. My mother has been away for so many years. Not only have you raised our siblings, but you have also insisted on not finding a partner."

Father Li: "I don't know what love is, I'm just a country bastard."

"I've also thought about it. You've already got a family and a business, and you have children. Should I find one?"

"But, no one is as good as your mother..."

Li Haijun suddenly said, "What do you think of Aunt Ding?"

Father Li was taken aback.

Li Haijun also had a whim, because he didn't go through his brain after drinking, so he said it.

"Your aunt Ding is very nice. Just like your mother, she used to be the daughter of a rich family, but I never thought about it. Besides, she is your mother-in-law."

Li Haijun: "It doesn't matter if you didn't think about it before, you think about it now."

"You're both widowed anyway."

Father Li: "Go, it won't work, there are plenty of women out there, and it's not like I can't find them, so don't worry about it."

The clock struck twelve.

The Li family father and son also went back to rest.

It's just that the lights in the house are not turned off.

There is a proverb: It is called not to turn off the lights on New Year's Eve.

The night of New Year's Eve is also called New Year's Eve. The so-called New Year's Eve is broken, and the night of New Year's Eve is already the beginning of the new year.

China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are many customs.

For example, posting Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers.

First of all, this is related to a distant legend.

It is said that in ancient times, due to the poor social security environment, when the Chinese New Year came, robbers and bandits would go down the mountain to rob.

Generally, bandits will choose to rob at night, and in order to distinguish which ones have been robbed, they often light a lamp in the robbed family.

There was a wise old lady who once lit a lamp in her home. When the bandits passed by his house, they thought they had been robbed and did not enter.

Soon everyone in the village knew this trick, so every New Year's Eve, everyone would light a lamp in their homes to avoid disasters.

After a long time like this, not turning off the lights on the New Year's Eve night can avoid disasters, and Baofu has gradually been passed down.

There is another reason, everyone must have heard of it when they were young, and that is to drive away the Nian beast.

It is said that in ancient times there was a monster called Nian who would come out to harass the villagers on New Year's Eve.

At first everyone was afraid of him, but once by accident, the villagers discovered that this monster called Nian was afraid of light and sound.

So everyone started to set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and the sound of firecrackers separated the Nian beast far away.

But as soon as the firecrackers stopped, the Nian Beast ran over again, and the villagers couldn't set off the firecrackers all night.

Someone suggested that since he is also afraid of light, why not keep the lights on all night?

So on the night of New Year's Eve, every house is brightly lit, so that the New Year beast will never dare to harass everyone again.

Although both the Nian Beast and the old lady are just legends, the ancient ancestors' good yearning for life and the New Year are also placed in these legends.

Keeping the lights on on New Year’s Eve is more of a hope for the new year, and setting off firecrackers is a symbol of joy. After all, the New Year is a big event in everyone’s mind, and the New Year must also have a New Year’s appearance , This is the taste of the year.

There is always a reason for what our ancestors left us. Keeping the lights on at thirty nights is more of a symbol of the taste of the year.

The ancestors were afraid that we would forget our roots, so we left behind such a custom that will not be forgotten.Life needs a sense of ritual, and Chinese New Year is more about ritual. If there are no more customs during the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year will become meaningless.

In 1967, the New Year's bell rang (Li Haijun wished all the masters who were following the reading, so when the golden gun does not fall, the dragon is alive and the dragon is alive and the dragon is alive and the dragon is alive and the dragon is alive and the tiger is still alive. The important thing is said three times.)
Before going to bed, Li Haijun re-pressurized the coal stove with coal, so as not to turn off the stove when he got up in the morning, and the room would be cold.

The meat of the buns is not on the folds, although their family's clothes are not as good as before.

But life hasn't changed much. After closing the door, one should eat and drink, and the stove in their house is always hot.

He fell on the bed, hugged his wife and child Li Haijun and fell into a deep sleep.

On the first day of the new year, Li Haijun was woken up by Xiao Shengnan.

The little guy woke up early in the morning and cried.

After his mother has fed him milk and finished eating and drinking, he will be happy.

Looking at the tiger-headed little guy, Li Haijun got up helplessly to cook.

It's just that everyone was full after a few bites, and Li Haijun didn't move the table anymore.

There are still these at noon, when you finish eating, you can do it again.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

"Why did you come here in the first year of junior high school?"

"Don't block it, let me in."

The seventh boy pushed the bicycle into the yard: "Look at your displeased expression, let me come and see my sister, my nephew, and my niece."

But you come to see your sister, your nephew, what are you looking at next door?

Isn't this obviously self-reporting? Look at your sister, look at your nephew, I believe you are a ghost.

The Seventh Boy entered the house.

"uncle·····"

The seven boys gave red envelopes one by one.

"Thank you uncle."

"Navy, will you take me to visit Ding's house?"

Li Haijun's face darkened: "What kind of friends are you going to hang out with during the Chinese New Year?"

Seventh Boy: "We are also colleagues with Ding Qiunan, isn't it normal to visit each other?"

"Xiao Qi, I have to go and have a good chat with our father, our mother, and your daughter-in-law."

"You kid can't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot."

Hearing this, the sixth girl on the side gave Li Haijun a hard look, do you still have the face to criticize him?What kind of virtue do you not know?

Seventh Boy was helpless: "Stop, I didn't say anything!"

"Mom and Dad said that they won't come back tomorrow on the second day of junior high school, so you can take her grandson home today. She misses her child."

Li Haijun: "That's fine."

"Daughter-in-law, pack up and let's go.

Six girls: "You go out first."

Seventh boy teased Xiao Shengnan: "What are you doing out there?"

The sixth girl was angry: "I can't change clothes!"

Seventh Boy: "Oh."

This is the reaction.

Li Haijun went to the kitchen refrigerator to get fruit, went to the cabinet to get two bottles of Moutai, thought about it and took two cans of milk powder without a trademark.

After the sixth girl finished dressing, she went to dress the two children.

Seventh boy: "You don't bring Xiao Shengnan?"

Liu Yatou: "I don't take it anymore, I'm afraid I'll freeze him in such a cold day."

The three of them got on their bicycles, and before leaving, Seventh Boy still looked at Ding's family reluctantly.

The drunken man didn't mean to drink, and after leaving, his teeth were itchy, and he really wanted to beat him up.

After they left, Ding Qiunan took over Xiao Shengli.

Li'er: "Mom, where did Dad and Aunt Song go?"

Ding Qiunan said bitterly: "They have something to do and took their brothers and sisters out."

Leaving home, I came to Song's house, and Ding's mother was watching at the door.

"What about the little one?"

Liu Yatou: "In such a cold day, I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I didn't bring it here."

Song's mother: "I will go to your house to visit my little grandson that day."

Father Song sat on Xiao Xueer on his left leg, and Xiao Shengli on his right leg.

It can be seen that these two elders really miss children.

When Liu Yatou entered the room, she took out a red envelope and handed it to Sun Fengling: "Here, the lucky money for the children."

Sun Fengling took it over happily: "Thank you, Sixth Sister."

Sun Fengling squeezed it, and she could tell from the thickness that it would cost at least five yuan.

It's not a shame, the Li family is still so generous.

Li Haijun opened his pocket: "Father, these two bottles of wine are for you."

Father Song: "Okay, okay, the navy understands me."

Li Haijun took out two more cans of milk powder: "This milk powder is for the children. If the adults are not at home that day, I will make it for the children to drink."

Seventh Boy: "This is a good thing."

"Good things money can't buy."

"Navy, where did you get it?"

Li Haijun: "I entrusted someone to make it. Didn't I see the trademark?"

"I've wanted to buy it for a long time, but I don't have a milk powder ticket!"

This thing is precious to other people, but it is a drop in the bucket to Li Haijun.

The children in his family usually drink milk powder in addition to drinking the fresh year of the ox, otherwise how could they be so white and strong!
