Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 578 New Year's Eve
Six cardboard boxes and six plastic bags filled with roasted pork.

Last time at Lu's house, Chen Yang's food, and two little guys went home to barbecue, definitely three foodies.

It should be the Lu family who saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, so they have these six boxes of barbecue.

Chen Yang held the cardboard box and weighed it. It was estimated that one box weighed about ten catties, and six boxes weighed sixty catties.

One catty of cooked meat needs [-] catties to two catties of raw meat, and these six boxes of roast meat are equivalent to one hundred catties of raw pork.

Chen Yang returned the gift with six jars of rice wine.

The people who returned the gifts were also quite powerful, besides the two little fellows, there were also the second younger sister, third younger sister and third younger brother.

This was done on purpose by Chen Yang.

The second younger sister, the third younger sister and the third younger brother all wore school badges, and in Chen Yang's eyes, Belle had a face.

Don't underestimate the peasants, noble sons come from poor families, this is an era where there is nothing beyond what can be imagined.

This year's twelfth lunar month is a small moon, with only 29 days, and twenty-nine is New Year's Eve.

Zhang Ma returned home on the twenty-seventh day, and came back on the twenty-eighth day.

Chen Yang didn't ask. According to his estimate, Mama Zhang's daughter-in-law would definitely not want to see her.

The situation with Mr. Liu is similar.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth, Mr. Liu called home, and a quarrel broke out before finishing three sentences, and he hung up the phone within a minute.

Two women, suffering from the same illness.

Twenty-nine, the whole family is busy.

The whole family agreed to eat eighteen dishes on New Year's Eve.

In the countryside of Wenlin County, New Year's Eve is also called New Year's Eve, and eating dinner is also called eating New Year's Eve.

In fact, most of the people in Shanghai come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and their customs are not much different from those of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

The only regret is that the neighborhood committee issued a notice that most of the houses here are old wooden houses, and setting off fireworks and firecrackers is strictly prohibited.

If you want to set off fireworks and firecrackers, you can set them off on the street outside, but you are responsible for them.

Chen Yang has just arrived and is not a local, so of course he would not make such a mistake.

Couplets still have to be pasted, yard doors, garage doors, small garage doors, storage room doors, a pair of colonnades, hall doors... on the first and second floors, where there are doors, couplets are pasted.

Originally, a pair of large and small lanterns should be hung on the gate of the courtyard and the door of the main room.

Chen Yang was cautious, and the lantern was also canceled.

There are candles in the lanterns, which also need to be fireproof.

Eating New Year's Eve is earlier than usual, starting at 04:30.

The Eight Immortals table was filled with various dishes, ten meat ones, six vegetarian ones, and two more soups.

There are also six staple foods, bread, steamed buns, square cakes, buns, rice cakes and mochi.

Chen Yang, his second sister, third sister and third brother, Teacher Liu, Zhang Ma, and two little guys, there are exactly eight people, and the Eight Immortals table just fits.

Everyone sit down, Teacher Liu asked Chen Yang to say a few words, because Chen Yang is the head of the family.

Everyone is sitting upright, including the two little guys.

Chen Yang smiled, and said two words, "Eat." He stretched out his chopsticks.

There was a lot of laughter and laughter, and everyone was in a mess like a war...

There are so many dishes on New Year's Eve, and there is more than enough to eat. This is called surplus every year.

Don't dump the leftovers, put them away and eat them next year.

Eat New Year's Eve, and then give New Year's money.

New Year's money and New Year's money are two completely different concepts.

The money given in the old year is called New Year's money, which suppresses the old year and removes all bad luck.

The New Year's money is called New Year's greetings. Bye bye to the New Year, I wish everything will be well in the New Year.

Under normal circumstances, New Year's money and New Year's money are given by the elders to the younger generation.

There have been some reforms in the past few years, like the second sister, third sister and third brother, they can also receive lucky money from the elder brother.

Chen Yang sat on the sofa in the main room, looking upright.

The two little guys, under the instigation of their second aunt, third aunt and third uncle, reached out to ask their father for new year's money.

Chen Yang gave [-] yuan alone, and ten brand new ten-yuan bills, which Chen Yang specially exchanged from the bank.

The two little guys simply took the money and turned around and handed it to Teacher Liu for safekeeping, leaving only two yuan for themselves.

Second sister, third younger sister and third younger brother, two hundred and two yuan each.

Then, Chen Yang took out two envelopes and solemnly handed them to Teacher Liu and Mama Zhang.

An envelope is 1000 yuan.

Teacher Liu accepted it with a smile, but Mama Zhang didn't dare to accept it, because in terms of age, she and Teacher Liu were both Chen Yang's elders, so they couldn't accept the New Year's money.

Chen Yang asked Mr. Liu to explain to Zhang Ma.

Teacher Liu told Zhang's mother that this is not a lucky money, but a year-end bonus, which is given at the end of every year.

Teacher Liu also told Zhang's mother that the year-end bonus must be accepted, and Chen Yang would be unhappy if he didn't accept it.

Mama Zhang thanked her repeatedly, and then put away the money.

Before watching the Spring Festival Gala, there is another important thing at home, which is to distribute snacks to everyone.

Fair and just, adults and children alike, everyone gets a box of snacks.

The two little guys were so happy, they took Teacher Liu and Zhang Ma and helped them move the snacks upstairs.

The second aunt, the third aunt and the third brother all frightened the two little guys and went up to steal their snacks at night.

The two little guys were facing a big enemy, fortified the wall to clear the field, and it took a long time to hide their snacks.

Chen Yang remembered his childhood, looked at his third brother and smiled.

The third brother asked, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Chen Yang said with a smile: "I think of what happened when you were a child."

The third brother hurriedly said: "Brother, I never stole other people's snacks when I was young."

The second sister smiled and said: "Liu Liu, don't think we have all forgotten. One year during the Chinese New Year, you finished your snacks in two days. Then you ate your grandparents first, and then your parents. Later, you started stealing snacks." Ours, eldest brother’s and eldest sister’s, were all stolen by you.”

The third brother was stubborn, "Second sister and third sister, I didn't steal from you two."

The third sister smiled and said: "That's because when you stole the snacks from the second brother, the second brother found out, and you broke your leg when you ran away. You have been lying on the bed for half a month, and you can't steal it anymore."

The third brother grinned happily, "Brother, I forgot."

Chen Yang was also happy, "But we can't forget it. I still remember that you were only a little over four years old at that time, a little older than the two little guys. But you are like a devil entering the village, it's really amazing."

The third brother shifted his target, "Brother, the third sister has also done the stealing of snacks."

Third sister said: "I have never done it before."

The third brother said: "Eldest brother and second sister can prove it."

The second younger sister said: "Third younger sister, you have also done it before stealing snacks from other people."

Chen Yang said: "It's more than just doing it. One year, the fifth child, you stole all the snacks from the whole family. But you are very smart, not stealing everything, but stealing a little from everyone."

Third Sister smiled embarrassedly.

Chen Yang stood up and said, "Okay, okay. Take your snacks back quickly. These two little guys may come out to play in the middle of the night."

The third brother lives in the guest room on the second floor, and the second and third younger sisters live in the rooms of the two little ones.

The two little ones live with dad temporarily.

Chen Yang gave up the big bed to the two little guys, and built a folding bed in the study.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed, and this year is a little bit cold.

Chen Yang and the whole family watched the Spring Festival Gala for two or three hours, and went to bed early.

The New Year is here, but there is a hustle and bustle in the alley outside.
