Chapter 138 Happy Chinese New Year if you have money or not

After a burst of firecrackers, the dishes were served on the table one by one, steaming hot and fragrant, and everyone couldn't help moving their chopsticks.

After tasting something fresh, someone soon judged it.

"I heard that Tang Jiagen's family cooked the dishes this year. The taste is much better than Uncle Qi's."

"Cough cough", the person sitting next to him coughed twice, turned his head and saw that Uncle Qi who was called was staring at this side, and there was no sound.

"I heard that kid learned his craft from a foreigner."

"No way, if Fang Qiuhua's family has this skill, they can still marry us in Sanliwan."

"Isn't the situation bad back then?"

"If it's really left until now, Fang Qiuhua will definitely look down on Tang Jiagen."

"I used to think that Tang Jiagen had no temper, he was not good enough, and he couldn't stand up. I didn't expect that the children he gave birth to would be more capable than the other."

"Marrying a good wife will bring blessings to the three generations. When we find a wife for our children in the future, we must also find someone who is educated. We can't mess up those messy things at home in a day."

"Who are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, the wife next to the man grabbed the man's ears.

"Talk about me, I'm uneducated, muddy legs, my son is just like me."

……

There were many people chatting, one topic after another, and Tang Gumeng's family was quickly skipped.

The dishes were all served, and the Tang family could finally take a breather, hiding in the kitchen and eating their meals.

"It's been another year." Tang Jiagen was extremely satisfied as he looked at the crowd who were devouring it.

When I used to eat big pot meals during the Chinese New Year, I was always sitting outside waiting to eat. I was not as busy as I am now, but I am poor and short-sighted, and I feel uncomfortable sitting with others.

This year, although he was too busy to touch the ground, when others mentioned this matter, he would praise his son for his good craftsmanship, that is to say, about himself, Tang Jiagen listened to everyone's praise and laughed from ear to ear.

"It's different to be able to eat fresh vegetables this winter," He Caiqin put down the bowl and chopsticks, feeling emotional.

Although there is a greenhouse at home, but in order to make money, I dare not give myself a bite, and sell all of it for money.

"We will plant a few acres of land next year, and we can eat whatever we want in winter," Tang Gumeng said with a smile.

Talking about planting greenhouses, Tang Jiashu said: "Gu Meng, I discussed it with your aunt, we will also plant greenhouses next year, do you think it will work?"

Tang Gumeng didn't hesitate at all: "Yes! Planting greenhouses to sell vegetables can grow many stubbles a year, which is more profitable than growing grain."

Seeing Tang Gumeng's willingness to agree, Tang Jiashu reminded him out of kindness: "Gu Meng, don't worry, although our family also grows greenhouses, we will never compete with you for business."

Tang Gumeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized, he said a little dumbfounded: "Uncle's words are a little out of character."

"With so many people, at least half of them eat pickled vegetables every winter. What we have to do is to solve the problem of ordinary people eating vegetables. The ones we grow now can't keep up with the odds, so don't worry, uncle."

"Going further, I don't just want our family to plant greenhouses, I also want the whole village to plant greenhouses. We set up a vegetable wholesale market in the city and ship them to the whole country, so that people all over the country can eat. Vegetables grown in our Sanliwan."

Tang Jiashu was also excited when he heard that: "I'm very ambitious, but the cost of this greenhouse is quite high, and there are not many people in the village who can afford it."

Tang Gumeng smiled: "Don't you still have me? I have money, and the villagers have land. I contribute the money, and the villagers contribute. When the time comes, everyone will share the money for selling vegetables. Our family is the first to try. Someone will always be tempted.”

Tang Gushan nodded and replied: "The land is still frozen, so it is not suitable to start construction, and this year is also the first thought after the land distribution. I guess most people have not thought about it. My suggestion is that our family will all go to the greenhouse this year. The market is open, and when the time comes, other people will see the benefits and be able to move.”

Listening to this, Tang Gushan should have reached some agreement with Tang Gumeng, and Tang Jiashu didn't say much.

After this year, the poor days are left behind, the good days are in front of us, and everyone has motivation in their hearts.

Chinese New Year has always been the most important festival in the minds of Chinese people.

After the first day of the new year, every household started to move around.

During the Chinese New Year in the past, only Tang Jiagen took his children to visit other people's homes. This year, during the Chinese New Year, Tang's family also had people visiting.

The first person to visit Tang Jiagen's house for New Year's greetings was Julie, with her daughter Tang Shishi. The little girl is in her teens and has a somewhat introverted personality. She followed behind Julie without speaking.

Tang Shishi found Tang Gumeng only after Zhu Li let her go out to play.

"Sister Mengmeng", Tang Gumeng was reading a book, Tang Shishi called out and pulled her out.

Tang Guyeng looked up and asked about Tang Shishi's recent situation: "It's been a long time since I saw you, how is your study going?"

Speaking of which, people like Tang Shishi and Tang Gumeng in the past wanted to change their miserable fate by reading books, but they were unlucky. Tang Gumeng’s biggest stumbling block was his poor family, and Tang Shishi’s stumbling block was his patriarchal family. grandma.

After Tang Shishi sat down on the edge of the kang, she said: "I got No.1 in the whole class at the end of the semester. The teacher said that according to my grades, I can go to the middle school in the county when the time comes."

Speaking of this, Tang Shishi's tone was a little low: "But my grandma said that I will be thirteen after the turn of the year, and I can't study anymore. I just come back and learn farm work for two years and get married."

Tang Gumeng frowned: "What about your mother's opinion?"

Tang Shishi sighed: "My mother has been bullied by my grandma for so long, and she has a temper for a long time, and she dare not say anything at all. Besides, the savings my family saved before, and my dad's compensation are all in my grandma's hands. She is so determined not to let me go to school, I can't even pay the tuition fees, which school would want me."

Tang Shishi talked about the injustice of fate, but the expression on her face was very numb, which was the helplessness after countless times of resistance.

In the countryside, countless girls have experienced this kind of thing. Many families with poor conditions have this idea. The money left over for girls to study, or the money for girls to marry off, is used for family affairs. That's the right way.

Tang Shishi smiled wryly: "For those who celebrate the New Year, let me tell you why you are so depressed. What about you, are you still going to study?"

Tang Gumeng nodded: "I plan to go back and repeat my studies this fall, and I hope to be admitted to a good school next year."

Tang Gumeng's good news, to Tang Shishi's ears, was her own good news, as if watching someone who was in the quagmire, one of them jumped out, giving herself the hope that she could jump out too: "That's great, you can definitely do it!" You passed the exam. You are not in the village most of the time now, it is not easy to see you, don’t forget to write to me if you have good news.”

"Affirmative", Tang Gumeng replied: "What about you, just listen to your grandma and come back to farm and marry?"

Tang Shishi was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "What else can I do, I not only live for me, but also live for my mother, if I dare not listen to her, she can beat my mother to death."

Tang Gumeng was speechless for a moment.

People in later generations often say that they rely on the law to protect themselves, but there are still many places in this world that the law cannot take care of, such as the matter of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Spirit, and this cannot be judged at all.

Tang Gumeng didn't want a girl's dream to be shattered just like that, so she thought of a way: "How about I sponsor you to go to school, I will pay for the tuition and living expenses."

There was light in Tang Shishi's eyes for a moment, but it quickly went out, and she returned to the lifeless look before: "No need, I won't study in the future."

"Why?" Tang Shishi would succumb to fate, which was something Tang Gumeng never thought of.

Tang Shishi said softly: "In the past, my grandma never allowed my mother to go out and walk around, and she was not allowed to go out during the New Year. This year is also the first time my mother has gone out to pay New Year's greetings since my father died. The reason is because you gave her a manual labor."

"When I was about to leave, my grandma gave an order that my mother beg you to find me a job and ask me to drop out of school next year to earn money."

Tang Gumeng frowned: "You are still a child, the law does not allow you to hire a child of your age."

Tang Shishi smiled: "Law? My grandma doesn't even know a few words. How could she know the law? She only knows that those who stop her from earning money are bad people."

"My dad has been gone for so long, and my grandma has always wanted to adopt a child to continue the incense for my dad. But relatives are unwilling, so my grandma wants to adopt a child from outside."

"A few years ago, we discussed it with someone. Some family members couldn't afford to raise their children and wanted to send them out. They asked for 1 yuan. My grandma agreed. It is estimated that after the fifteenth day, my family will be filled."

"There is a child in the family, and someone has to take care of it, so I must not be able to study. Even if you gave me the tuition fee, I can't use it. In the end, it went into the hands of my grandma and spent it on the child who has not yet come to my house. body."

Tang Shishi let out a long sigh of relief: "Actually, it's a good thing to get married early after returning to plant the land for two years. After leaving this home, I find an honest farmer and have two children. I want my children to study hard, which is considered fulfilling." my dream."

A long time ago, Tang Gumeng saw a post like this: The son complained that his father didn't work hard, pinned his hopes on himself, and insisted on becoming a dragon by himself.

As soon as this post came out, it caused heated discussions. Many people felt that parents were too old-fashioned, too selfish, and didn't consider their children's feelings.

But Tang Gumeng never thinks that way, because people like Tang Shishi are already doing everything they can to fight against the injustice of fate, how can they ask for more.Only by entrusting hope to the next generation can we barely support ourselves to survive.

Tang Guyeng comforted: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there will always be a way."

——Shishi, go home

——I’ll be at the restaurant soon, let’s go after eating
——You know my mother-in-law's temperament, if I don't go back, she will come to look for me.

——Then let the children stay, they are about the same age, so talk more.

- that's all right
In the yard, when Julie was about to go home and approached the door, she yelled twice: "Shishi, mom is home, come back after you finish eating."

"Mom, I'll go back with you."

"You and Gu Meng haven't seen each other for many days, talk more," Julie persuaded her daughter, but she still had a plan in mind.

Even though it's Chinese New Year, she still eats steamed buns when she goes home, and she can still eat some meat when she stays in Tang's house. She is just such a girl, and she can't give her good conditions, so she can only borrow the favor from others with the cheek.

Tang Shishi knew what Julie was planning, but she also knew that her mother was the only one going back today, and her grandma had to beat and beat for a long time.

In order to have a safe year, I definitely can't stay.

Tang Gumeng stood at the door of his house, watching Zhu Li's mother and daughter leave arm in arm. Tang Shishi's thin figure in front of her, no one would have guessed that she would be a well-known greenhouse expert in the future.

God will not disappoint those who work hard.

After seeing off Julie and the others, Fang Qiuhua couldn't help feeling a few words and scolding Julie's mother-in-law for being inhuman.

Tang Gumeng said with emotion: "It's all because of poverty."

Fang Qiuhua fell silent, yes, my family's life was much better than that of Julie's, it was all because of poverty.

"Gu Meng, if everyone in the village planted greenhouses in the future, wouldn't they be rich?"

Tang Gumeng looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky: "It's certain to get rich. In the future, no one will be able to afford to study or eat because of lack of money."

The matter of Tang Shishi also branded a mark in Tang Gumeng's heart, and it had no effect on other people's lives.

When you think about firecrackers, the year is still going down.

Because Tang Gumeng was leaving on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the family decided to go back to Fang's house on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

According to the custom in the village, daughters are not allowed to return to their natal home before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so only Tang Jiagen took a few children to visit the New Year.

This was the first official New Year's greeting, and Tang Jiagen was a little cautious with his bags.

When they came to the door, there were other relatives in the Fang family. When Qin Yulan saw Tang Gumeng, she was extraordinarily enthusiastic. She served tea and poured water, and was very attentive, which made Tang Jiagen a little confused.

Looking for an opportunity, Qin Yulan pulled Tang Gumeng aside and asked, "Gumeng, do you have any business to make money recently, please introduce it to your aunt."

Tang Gumeng raised her eyebrows: "Auntie is short of money?"

Qin Yulan pinched the corner of her clothes: "Your eldest brother is going to get married soon, I have to prepare the gift money in advance, so I can't make people laugh at that time."

Tang Gumeng really didn't have a suitable job for Qin Yulan, so he asked Qin Yulan: "Auntie, have you thought about what you can do?"

"I'm not afraid of Gu Meng's jokes when I'm doing business. I'm also from the village, but I don't know how to clean up those lands. This year, your grandfather directly rented out the land allocated by the village. Otherwise, I would have a headache. It's easy to do business. It’s just buying and selling, just use your words.”

Tang Gumeng smiled: "Then it's better for my aunt to open a small shop and sell some daily necessities and food in the village. You can't earn big money, but small money is fine."

Qin Yulan said: "There is a supply and marketing cooperative in the village. People go there to buy things. I can't sell them."

Tang Gumeng replied: "I have been to the supply and marketing cooperative in your village. It is on the mountainside, and it is very troublesome to go up. Now I buy things in the supply and marketing cooperative because there is only one place in a village. Your house is In the center of the village, it is convenient for others to buy things. If you can sell them, are you afraid that no one will come to buy them?"

Qin Yulan couldn't believe it: "Is it really possible?"

"I don't have much work for you, but I have an idea, and it's up to you to listen or not."

Tang Gumeng left a sentence and went back to the house.
