I am a small factory doctor re-walking my life.

Chapter 67 Family
He hurriedly and slowly made Li Tangqi sweat all over. By the time he got home, all the food at home was finished.

"Hey, Sanzi, have you eaten? I'll get you some whatever you want to eat."

Seeing her youngest son coming back, Mother Li quickly stood up and asked.

"No, Mom, I've already eaten at Hui Hui's house. Oh my God, my clothes are soaked."

"Here, there is hot water in this pot. Go wipe yourself and change your clothes first, so you don't catch a cold soon."

"okay"

"Third son, how are Huihui's parents?"

"Dad, I didn't see Uncle Song. He went to the county. My aunt is fine. By the way, sister-in-law, my aunt asked me to tell you that this year, you and my brother will go directly to your grandfather's house in the second grade of junior high school. Don't go back to the hospital. .”

"Row"

When Li Yuan heard that he was going back to his wife's grandfather's house, he sat there and covered his head. His biggest headache was going back there. There were so many relatives in his wife's family, and he didn't know how to greet them when he saw them. All he could do was nod and giggle.

"Then are you going to visit people this year to pay New Year greetings?"

"I went there in the first year of junior high school and I'm not married. It's not appropriate to go in the second year of junior high school. Why don't I go to my sister-in-law's grandfather's house in the first year of junior high school?"

Li Yuan immediately became happy when he heard that his younger brother was going there too.

"Haha, third child, I'm sure you'll have a big head if you go there. Your sister-in-law and her family have too many relatives. They can't recognize them all. They can't recognize them all."

Song Xiaoli also pursed her lips and said happily: "There are indeed too many. My mother's family is also in that courtyard. There are hundreds of people from both sides. Are they all back for the New Year? Huihui and I can't remember so many people."

Li Tang, who was hiding in his room and wiping himself, heard this and asked loudly: "Sister-in-law, what kind of courtyard is your house? Why do people from your family seem to live there?"

"Oh, don't you know the Songjia Lane after crossing Beixiao Bridge and heading toward the old city?"

Before Song Xiaoli could say anything, Dad Li took the conversation directly.

"I know, wait a minute, Dad, do you mean that all the people living in Songjia Lane are relatives of my sister-in-law's family?"

"Then why do you think it's called Songjia Lane?"

"Isn't that an alley? Why do they always talk about the courtyard?"

"It used to be a big courtyard. But later, in order to avoid trouble, the Song family demolished the outer courtyard wall. People who don't know it think it's all for families. In fact, it's just a big courtyard."

emotion!

Li Tang, who was wiping himself in the room, grinned. Good guy, he had never asked about his sister-in-law's family before. It turned out that they were landowners and wealthy people before. However, it was not easy for this family to survive those years.

Fortunately, living in such a small [-]th-tier city, the impact on this place in those years was relatively small. In addition, my family has a large and powerful family, and people outside do not dare to provoke me easily, so I can live a good life.

"Then why does my aunt's natal family also live in Songjia Lane?"

"Who said she lives in Songjia Lane? She lives in the other half of that area, which is now called Chenjia Lane. It used to be a compound. The two families often intermarried in history. But I heard your Uncle Song say that if two people now If families want to intermarry, they need to go back five generations in the family tree. Only if there is no connection between the ancestors can they get married, right Lili?"

Oh my god!After hearing his father's explanation, Li Tang grinned even wider.

"Yes, dad. Starting from our generation, marriage is generally not allowed. We are just afraid of trouble. Sometimes my grandparents can't tell who they are related to. We can't just keep it in our pockets. Feel free to look up this family tree at any time."

It's funny to think about that kind of scene. After two people meet, they first shake hands and say their names, and determine each other's seniority through the word in the middle. This would be troublesome if they didn't name according to the words on the genealogy.I took out a genealogy from my pocket. You told me what your father's name was, and I told you what my father's name was. I checked it for a long time before deciding what we should call each other. Thinking about it makes people feel dizzy.

No wonder Li Yuan has been married for six or seven years and still can't recognize his wife's natal relatives. It would be strange if she did.

He now feels happy when he thinks that his younger brother will have the same headache as him in the future, and finally he doesn't have to suffer alone.

"Third son, have you finished the steaming bowls for Huihui's family today?" At this time, Li Ma interrupted and asked.

"It's done. All that's left are the fried sesame leaves and carrot balls. Auntie said she would do those herself."

"I almost forgot about business. Lin Li sent me knuckles and pig's trotters this afternoon. There are seven knuckles and fifteen pig's trotters. Oh, and there is also a pig's head. I gave him the money and he didn't ask for it."

"It's okay. I can just settle the score with him later. How about leaving it in the backyard?"

"Well, you can take care of it yourself in the iron basin in the backyard. I feel sick just looking at the hair on that thing."

"Hey, why don't you say something when you eat?"

"Stop talking nonsense to me. Do you want me to take care of that hair for you?"

"No, no, no, Mom, you misunderstood. I'll do it by myself. You don't need to interfere in such a trivial matter."

"Pfft..."

Li Tang's words made Li's father, Li Yuan and Song Xiaoli laugh. The three of them held back their strength and did not dare to laugh out loud. The two children just didn't care about anything. When they saw their parents and grandfather laughing silently, they learned how to imitate She covered her mouth and laughed, but unfortunately she couldn't hold back her voice well, which attracted Li Ma's attention.

"Why are you laughing? Come here to grandma."

"Grandma, I want to eat pig's trotters." The two little ones ran to Li's mother, one of them sat on one leg, and Mimi hugged her neck and said softly.

"Okay, let's eat the pig's trotters. Let your uncle wash them and marinate them for you to eat tomorrow, okay?"

"Grandma, I want to shoot off a firecracker."

Boys seem to be naturally more interested in these things, such as tractors, excavators, and setting off firecrackers.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the sound of firecrackers will be heard from time to time in the family courtyard.

Hearing the eldest grandson's request, Li's mother turned to look at Li Yuan: "Boss, go take my grandson out to set off cannons. I see you bought a lot today."

"Mom, it's so cold outside... I'm going now. Come Maomao. Dad will put on your cotton-padded jacket. Mimi, are you going?"

Li Yuan, who was too lazy to move, saw his mother's eyes and immediately changed his words.

"Oh, let's set off the cannons."

"I'll go as well."

The two little ones jumped from grandma's legs to the ground, and happily ran to the big bedroom to get their own cotton-padded jackets.

During the Chinese New Year, the happiest people may be the children. They can eat much better meals than usual, and wear new clothes if possible. Adults may also plan to spend their money wisely, but children are the most happy. Regardless of that, just play.

When living conditions get better and better in the future, the flavor of the New Year will become weaker and weaker.
