Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home.

Chapter 264 The New Year's Eve
This New Year’s Day is mainly for New Year’s greetings. Younger ones should be led by their parents, while older ones can go by themselves.

During the Chinese New Year, there are many local customs in many places, but the rich families in the past liked to pay attention to it.For the real Chinese New Year, for children, New Year's greetings are second, and receiving New Year's money is the happiest.

On the second day of junior high school, it was time to go back to her natal home, and Bingzi was going back to her natal home in Qinling with her daughter-in-law.This is the unmarried daughter of Luo Cheng's family, otherwise she would have to entertain her son-in-law.Because there was no need to entertain people, the parents went directly to the uncle's house.

In the third day of junior high school, everyone stopped for a day, and they didn't know what to pay attention to.

It was only on the fourth day of the junior high school that they began to be real guests. Many wedding banquets in later generations were also arranged from the fourth day of junior high school.But these days, to be honest, the real Chinese New Year is the first and second day of the new year. On the first day of the new year, I will pay New Year's greetings to relatives and come back after drinking a bowl of sugar water.I have a good meal at home, and when my daughter who married out in the second year of junior high school comes back, her natal family treats her to a good meal.

That's it, most people don't have much hospitality these days.Not to mention the invitation of relatives to dinner on the fourth day of junior high school. In later generations, it is basically to eat this one today and that one tomorrow, and sometimes eat both ends, which is too much to eat.And after eating, it is basically playing cards, and those who have other activities will leave after eating.

Speaking of excitement, the Chinese New Year is also lively for later generations, but it always feels that there is something missing.Maybe it's because I'm used to eating big fish and big meat, and this Chinese New Year meal has become a social gathering instead of an expectation.

Like people in the 80s, children are still looking forward to eating. There is a glass bottle of beer, which costs 90 cents a bottle.When going to eat during the Chinese New Year, children must share a bottle.Adults eat canned food and drink, even in the [-]s, everyone is actually looking forward to eating well during the Chinese New Year.

At that time, children also had more lucky money, and the boys' lucky money was basically given to the game hall.

But now it's the 60s, and it's been a few years since the famine, not to mention holding banquets during the New Year, even getting married.Therefore, Luo Cheng's family treats guests to dinner, those aunts, uncles, uncles and aunts, Luo Cheng and the others don't have to think about going to their house for dinner.I went to pay New Year's greetings in the first day of junior high school, which is considered a proper etiquette.

The happiest thing today is to go to Luo Cheng's house, to give New Year's greetings to Grandma Luo Cheng's child, and have lucky money.Luo Cheng's generation has them all, and the children of the great-grandson's generation have to call Luo Cheng's grandma Grandma Tai.As for the children, kowtow and shout grandma, and those on the mother's side will give a few cents.As for the Luo family, grandma also divides people up. Grandpa went early, but grandpa is also on Luo Wen's father's side. There are still many brothers in the Luo family. When grandma sees the boy, at least it is for a family. Shit, girls only pay a few cents.

And the child born to the uncle's eldest son belongs to his own grandson, and he is given fifty cents directly.Even if it is a granddaughter, I will give it a dime.Luo Cheng and his cousins ​​paid New Year's greetings to grandma. Except for Luo Cheng and Bingzi who received a dollar, everyone else received a few cents.

But no matter how much, in this famine year, relatives of the Luo family have also received lucky money from Luo Cheng's grandmother this year.Children are happy even if they have a penny.At the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, at least someone took care of the bulk firecrackers.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Luo Cheng's family entertained relatives from his father's side and hosted a three-table meal.On the fifth day of the fifth day, I entertained relatives on my mother's side, and there were also three tables.The table was borrowed from my uncle's and my second uncle's.

When the guests are all here, when it is almost time to eat, a firecracker is set off.One is festive, and the other is that according to the traditional saying, the Nian beast is greedy. If you don’t make an offering, you can eat it yourself, or steal it from the children present.Get some firecrackers to drive away.

And the firecrackers were big, not only the relatives and children called by Luo Cheng's family, but also the neighbor's children heard the sound, they all ran over to find the unfired firecrackers, and kept them for themselves.

I thought that this year would be the end of the year.Unexpectedly, the matter of the uncle's second son, Luo Qiang, would still come to fruition.After all, if Luo Qiang had a job, it would be a big deal in the town.The Liu family still agreed, but the girl cannot be married for nothing. Your Luo family is not a cow, and your nephews are all factory directors in the city.I ask you to set up a few tables, order a set of clothes for their daughter, and a dressing table. It's okay to marry them.

The Liu family didn't ask for a gift, and the Liu family was also from Longjin Town. They married a daughter only for style and face.The main reason is that the daughter is not bad, so this is not too much to ask.

As for the uncle's family, thinking that the two sons will have jobs next year, they also have confidence in their hearts.What you said is like your Liu family wants face, but the Luo family doesn't want it.Do it, you must do it.

Of course, the food for the uncle's family was actually donated by his father Luo Wen.No relief, although Luo Wen arranged for them to hammer nails when he was at work, but at most the uncle's family would be provided with coarse grains.How much should be relieved.As for the requests made by the Liu family, the uncle actually couldn't fulfill any of them.

This not only requires borrowing food and vegetables for the banquet, but also asking Luo Cheng for cloth tickets for clothes.As for the dressing table, I promised to find a carpenter in the town to customize one after the next year.After all, we will get married as soon as we talk about it, so we don't have time to prepare.

The cloth ticket was a gift from Luo Cheng, but it cost money to buy the cloth, so the uncle asked his father to borrow it.The marriage was scheduled on the sixth day, and the Liu family agreed on the fourth day, which was too hasty, but the marriage is about good things in pairs, either the sixth day or the eighth day.But the Chuba Automobile Factory started work.Luo Cheng and the others actually had to drive to Yi'an in the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh day.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Luo Cheng simply drove a car to pick up his relatives. Didn't the Liu family want to save face?This face is enough, after seeing the girl from the Liu family, Luo Cheng was disappointed, thinking how beautiful she was.Both the uncle and the aunt said it was good, and Luo Qiang still couldn't forget it.Luo Cheng feels very ordinary, with braids, an authentic rural girl.

He is taller and stronger than his cousin Luo Qiang, and he may indeed be stronger than those skinny girls in terms of fertility.Vegetables and radishes have their own preferences, and my cousin likes the ones that are strong, so I don’t have much to say.

After the cousin got married, he entered the bridal chamber that night.Luo Cheng also felt that, just like his younger brother Bingzi, they were also a couple who got married and shared the same room before falling in love.

Is this era open or closed? Closed? Blind date marriages like Bingzi and Qiangzi are the mainstream these days, and free love is rare.I haven't met a few times in total, and maybe I haven't held hands, so I can live together and have fun. Can this be called closed-mindedness?

But in the city, it is much better, and there are some fast ones, but there are still many people who will stay in one place after introducing their partners.Although it will be settled soon, at least once in a while it can be romantic before marriage.

Luo Cheng felt that his date, Dai Qianqian, seemed to be both conservative and open-minded, because after dating him, Luo Cheng actually didn't mention anything.Dai Qianqian seems to have taken the initiative to arrange the subsequent procedures, that is to say, Luo Cheng doesn't have to think about anything, if he follows that way, he will definitely be able to sleep with Dai Qianqian in a short time.

During this period, Luo Cheng didn't have to think about going on dates, being romantic, or trying to please, like the later generations.On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Luo Cheng went to the car factory to say hello to other people, and the production process started first, and then he asked for a leave to go to SH to find Dai Qianqian.

Like Director Zhao's military factory workshop, Team Leader Jiang and others, and people from the forklift factory who will come to report this year.They didn’t come over so quickly, and many jobs couldn’t be done, so just after the new year, everyone took a break and slowly re-adapted to the rhythm of work.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, everyone sat in the commercial vehicle and started heading to their homes in Ngee Ann City.In the car, everyone was very happy, except Zheng Xue, because she knew that Luo Cheng would go to find his partner in a few days, and she herself would really keep a distance from Luo Cheng in the future.

I don't know why, it always makes people feel heartbroken.Looking at the receding scenery outside the car window, Zheng Xue always wanted to write a poem to express her inner feelings, to hate the sky for teasing.Think of yourself as a daughter, literate at the age of three, and at the age of five~~~.

Well, the talented woman's Wen Qing disease has just happened again, and she has created an image of herself as miserable in her heart.

For Luo Cheng, as long as Zheng Xue doesn't feel like a PUA and can't live without him, even if he understands her thoughts, he won't provoke her.Wenqing, it's normal to be sentimental, and it's possible to die for love, so it's not the kind of sincerity, so don't provoke a woman with such a character.Because they are actually not as fragile as you think, they are actually people who can comfort themselves. For example, Zheng Xue blamed God for not getting together with Luo Cheng, which is actually a manifestation of self-comfort.It's God's fault, not her and Luo Cheng's.

Even after she knew that Luo Cheng had a date, her first thought was that her grandfather also had a daughter-in-law.Immediately put myself in another role.

It can be said that even if Luo Cheng is with her, there will be infidelity in the future.Zheng Xue will still find reasons to comfort herself, and still won't separate.

But you must not think that such a character is enough, everyone has limits, when you think she will tolerate everything, it is easy to challenge her bottom line continuously, and when the critical value is reached, the heart really collapses .Once such a woman turns black, you will have no chance of begging for mercy.

So when you meet someone like Zheng Xue, if you don't mean it, don't provoke her. Once she turns black, she will cook a pot of soup with a smile on her face, and everyone will finish drinking it.

Back in the courtyard room, the sky has not yet completely darkened, so I need to clean and tidy up.And the gate of the compound was not opened for a while, many neighbors who knew Luo Cheng was back, all came to pay New Year's greetings to Luo Cheng.Although the year is almost over, according to the customs, the Lantern Festival is not celebrated, and it is considered as the new year. Luo Cheng will go to the factory tomorrow, and he will have to say happy new year to many people.

In the evening, he simply made some noodles and ate them. Luo Chengcheng sent Gao Ru back to the staff dormitory.On the seventh day of the new year, the kitchen staff of the automobile factory have already started to work, cleaning the stove and preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's factory.

What Luo Cheng didn't know was that just because the security department and the ambulance clinic had to be on duty during the Chinese New Year, a few nurses hooked up with people from the security department these days~~. , after all, the object is going to get married.

During the Chinese New Year, the security department patrolled and often went to the staff clinic.The outpatient clinic is newly built. It is built not far from the factory. There is only one-story brick building, but it is enough for outpatient clinics.After all, outpatient clinics don't need wards, and at most they just give injections and prescribe medicine to see a doctor.

And the building is outside, in fact, it is also for medical treatment.It's just that the employees of the automobile factory don't spend money to see a doctor, and there is a reimbursement rate for medicines. If they are not from the automobile factory, they have to spend normal money to see a doctor.

Finally, the new year is over. Before the new year, everyone wanted to have a holiday for the new year. Now that the new year is here, everyone is thinking about going to work and missing the food in the factory.I miss the days when I talked and laughed with my colleagues.

Some senior students who are still on vacation are still thinking about the skating rink that the car factory opened to the public.They haven't started school yet, but there are not many places to play. Skating is quite expensive, but fashionable and fun.

"Gao Ru, forget it, forgive them."

"Forgive them? Forgive whom?"

"Your family and parents, after all, they gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, and they can still spend money to let you go to school. In fact, they should love you. But it's just that they can't accept the pointers from outsiders, maybe they didn't see it for a while. We are young people, the future is ours, we can have new ideas and concepts, but they can. Look at my cousin Wang Yue, her marriage is gone, even if she comes here with me now, her work and The money she earns may be given to her younger brother. You are a daughter, and sometimes some things are not your fault, but may be the fault of this era. You should try to understand."

"Luo Cheng, don't tell me you lied to me too. You are also patriarchal. Why should I forgive them for treating me like that?"

"Hey, you are celebrating Chinese New Year at my house these days. Everyone can tell that you miss your family. I said it is the fault of this era. You are a college student, so you have to look at things objectively. And what I said before did not lie to you. Our domestic The current national conditions are like this, and boys are generally favored over girls. But China will be internationalized sooner or later, and your little things will really not matter. How about this, I will arrange for you to go to Sijiu City this year, and go to the Agricultural University there to study before me It’s called greenhouse planting. There are many international friends over there, and when the time comes, we will have some product export exhibitions, so that you can get in touch with foreigners’ thoughts more, and you will know whether I am right or wrong.”

"Go to Forty-Nine City, the capital?"

"Well, although there is an agricultural university in Changcheng, you will never be able to get in touch with the wider world if you are not allowed to get in touch. Besides, there are many experts and professors in Sijiu City. This scientific research task is actually It’s quite heavy, and you’re not a student of agriculture. So you have to be tough, this winter, I want to eat the vegetables I’ve grown in Ngee’an.”

In fact, the cycle of agricultural planting research is more difficult than that of industry.The main thing is that the product has to wait until it matures, and it may be necessary to deliberately control the indoor and outdoor temperatures.Even if the research is done, large-scale planting still needs to be planned and built in advance.In this way, the time for scientific research may be about half a year.

And within half a year, I have to talk to the school over there to set up a project, discuss the direction, and try out the variety requirements.It is impossible to grow only one vegetable, and experimental planting records are required.This is not related to the research of machinery and equipment. Once you have the blueprint, you can immediately process a sample to have a look.And agricultural research, the cycle is very long.

After sending Gao Ru to the staff building and returning, Luo Cheng simply washed up and was about to go to bed. The arrangement of her cousin Wang Yue was very simple. She was asked to follow Xiao Yu and the others to work in the movie theater, to do hygiene, and to help keep an eye on the spot when selling tickets. That's fine.

At night, before going to bed, Luo Cheng was also thinking about a question, how to get to SH.The automobile factory has its own transportation team, so Luo Cheng also understands why the transportation is so slow in this era. Freight drivers are popular, but it is indeed hard work.

At present, there are no expressways in China, not even national highways. Usually, the distance from one city to another may be 50.00 kilometers in diameter, but if it is actually driven, more than [-]% of the distance is normal.And many roads only have landmarks and no road instructions.

When running long distances these days, I rely on memorizing the route by myself, and I can only keep asking for directions in places I am not familiar with.To be honest, Luo Cheng didn't want to drive to SH City, but he thought about the things he got by signing in with the system, so he could give them gifts.During the Chinese New Year period, Luo Cheng also ran up the mountain to sign in every day. There was a lot of wild game, and even a few snakes were signed in for him.

It is convenient to go by train, but for the convenience of giving gifts, I feel that I still have to drive.
