Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 96 On New Year’s Eve, Xu Damao didn’t go to bed either
Chinese New Year is not just about eating dumplings.

They also put coins into the dumplings, one-cent or two-cent coins, just to get a good omen in the coming year.

Whoever eats it will be blessed.

Just be careful when eating so as not to chip your teeth.

In fact, there is also the custom of giving dumplings.

Everyone’s family is very poor, and it is difficult to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Sending dumplings was originally a way for the younger generation to express filial piety to their elders. In fact, there is also sending moon cakes. From the beginning, it was a way to show filial piety, and later it evolved to give to neighbors. deliver.

It has also become a way for everyone to get closer and maintain relationships.

How about saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and a close neighbor is not as good as the door to the door.

Even such a good custom gradually stopped being passed down in the future.

From now on, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone will only remember "eating moon cakes with family members during the holiday", and the custom of sending moon cakes to neighbors has completely disappeared.

It will never happen again that a piece of mooncake changes hands and finally comes back to you.

In the same way, sending dumplings to neighbors during the Chinese New Year has become an ancient custom in my memory.

So it was really okay for Xu Damao to ask Qin Huairu to bring a bowl of dumplings back.

In front of so many people, Xu Damao didn't say anything and let Qin Huairu go home.

If you’re celebrating the New Year, don’t worry about the little things.

He Yuyu brought a bowl of dumplings over. Lou Xiao'e switched the bowl and returned the bowl to He Yuyu.

"Silly Zhu made you angry again?"

"It's not He Yuzhu. He insists on asking me to serve a bowl of dumplings to the deaf old lady. Why should I give it to her? In the past, I didn't even give me a bite to eat. I won't give it to anyone who wants to."

This stupid Zhu still doesn't know how to change his character, because he really doesn't want to reconcile with He Yuyu.

This is really hard to advise.

Liu Guangtian came over with a bowl of dumplings.

Xu Damao is now a prominent figure in the courtyard, and it is normal for neighbors to come over and deliver dumplings.

It’s not good if you don’t accept it.

So this glorious task was handed over to Xu Yueling, and she was sent back one by one.

Others may be lacking in this, but he is not inferior at all.

In the end, at Xu's mother's request, even the deaf old lady next door sent a bowl over.

It is said that the deaf old lady helped the Xu family a lot in the past.

Anyway, Xu Damao didn't feel any help.

This was also the first time that the deaf old lady took advantage of Xu Damao.

It can only be regarded as uniting the masses to take care of the elderly.

After all the dust fell to the ground and two ounces of thatch had been eaten, Father Xu began to talk more.

This time, everything he said was full of praise for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao usually doesn't drink at home, but now that I have all the wine on hand, I can't refuse.

"Life is getting better and better. Next year, I must have a grandson in my arms."

Xu Damao was shocked when he heard this. Others didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't.

However, Xu's mother was still adding jealousy: "We have been married for a month. Don't worry about having no one to take care of your children when they are born, let alone one. I will raise all three for you to be white and fat."

The summary is just one sentence: go ahead and build it boldly.

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and said nothing.

She also asked Lou's mother in private. Her frequency was higher than most people's, but she got no response.

What can Xu Damao do? In short, he will have to bear the blame from now on.

"I have a different idea about this. I don't plan to have children this year. Everything is focused on career..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu's father.

"Career is the most important thing. Look at those cadres and leaders. Which one doesn't have a stable family? Your family is not stable. Even if I want to promote you, I have to think more about it..."

What can Xu Damao do?

I can only bow my head and accept the punishment.

Xu Yueling almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She had never seen Xu Damao so cowardly.

Anyway, this level passed like this.

Parents are like this. They urge marriage first, then have a baby, and then they urge a second child after the first one.

A reunion dinner ended in this atmosphere.

Xu's father still wanted to go home after drinking. How could Xu Damao agree to this?Drunk driving.

The bicycle also wants to take two people back.

When I opened the door, snowflakes were flying in the night sky again, as if they were reluctant to leave the year [-].

Xu Damao didn't agree with anything he said, especially if it snowed.

Before Xu Damao went to work, Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Yueling shared a bed, and Xu Damao slept on the folding bed by himself.

It's obviously not possible now.

There is one more Lou Xiao'e.

And Xu Yueling is also older.

The final result is that the father and the mother sleep on the bed and put on new bedding.

Xu Yueling sleeps on a folding bed.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e could only make bunks on the ground.

There are other ways, such as letting Xu Yueling sleep with He Yuyu for one night.

It just doesn't fit.

Xu's father was even more pleased. Being a soldier can change a person, and getting married can also change a person. They are all getting better.

People generally don't go to bed early on this day.

Staying up late and staying up late is tonight.

For a young man with nowhere to vent his energy, this little snow is nothing. At this time, there were already sparse sounds of firecrackers outside.

At this time, Xu Damao thought that there was nothing wrong with making dumplings and setting off firecrackers tonight. What was more important was the first dumpling meal tomorrow morning.

Tonight is the end of the old, and tomorrow is the beginning of the new.

So here’s the question, it’s already past eight o’clock in the evening. Can I still buy firecrackers when I go out at this time?
"Xu Damao, are you going out for a walk?"

"The bathhouse isn't closed yet."

If a guy like Liu Guangqi could take the initiative to come over and shout, then there's no reason why Xu Damao shouldn't go.

I thought Liu Guangqi would be angry for a long time because of not borrowing a bicycle, but he didn't expect it to be quite fast. The anger went away as quickly as it came.

"come back earlier."

"It's snowing outside, so bring an umbrella. The snow melts on your clothes and makes them wet."

"Ok."

Liu Guangqi started his performance happily: "Silly Zhu bought a lot of firecrackers. I didn't hear the sound today. Can we go over and help him?"

"If you want to be beaten, go ahead."

What Xu Damao was thinking was that it was very lively today and there might be firecrackers selling on the street.

During my first New Year here, I felt uncomfortable not setting off firecrackers.

The progressive young people of the Siheyuan gathered again.

In the afternoon, Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng explained it again. Now Yan Jiecheng was no longer angry. He followed suit as if nothing happened.

Banggeng couldn't bear it anymore when he heard the sound of firecrackers outside. He wanted to go out to play and set off firecrackers, but Jia Dongxu slapped him and sent him back.

"I want to set off firecrackers, but I think you look like a firecracker..."

Seeing Yan Jiedi, Xu Damao gave her two candies.

If you feed them from time to time, they will eventually bloom one day.

The entire Nanluogu Lane is quite lively now.

The laughter of children.

"I am a little painter. I painted a big red flower. The big red flower is dedicated to the great people. The great people laugh when they see it."

"Little swallow, dressed in floral clothes, comes here every spring. I asked the swallow why you come? The swallow said: 'The spring here is the most beautiful.'"

"Little Yanzi, let me tell you: 'This place is more beautiful this year! We built a big factory and installed new machines.'

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the bird is saying: 'Zhaozaozao, why are you carrying your little schoolbag?'"

"I go to school and am never late every day. I love learning and working. When I grow up, I want to make contributions to the people."

They don't have money to buy small firecrackers, but that doesn't stop them from singing to each other here.

The adults were also happy.

Just think of it as watching a New Year’s program.
