Chapter 256 Playing with Fire and Wetting the Bed

Most New Year’s Eve dinners in Hui Province are mainly wax goods.

Some dishes also have very good meanings.

For example, sweet potato dumplings are called Yuanbao, vermicelli noodles are called Qianchuanzi, and salty chicken feet can be eaten to make money. Also, on New Year’s Eve, people are not allowed to eat rice dumplings, which means the granary will be broken.

of course.

The most annoying thing is that you are not allowed to finish the meal on the 30th night. You must keep the bottom of the bowl and wait for the first day of the year to eat again.

However, Gu Yuan has long ignored these old rules.

Ever since the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Yuan's phone started vibrating non-stop, mostly with New Year's greetings messages. Gu Yuan also sent messages to Sun Baocheng and Lian Xiaoqin. The two of them also replied very politely:

"Thank you and wish you a happy new year and a happy family reunion!"

Obvious group messaging template.

Gu Yuan didn't care either.

These days, any phone number doesn’t have hundreds of numbers stored in it, and without pasting and copying, it would take three days and three nights to get all the calls back.

Not long after, Ye Wenjun also called. The two chatted for a while. Gu Yuan directly handed the phone to the old lady. Hearing Ye Wenjun's voice, the old lady was so happy that she almost couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She held the phone in her hand. Standing on the ridge of the field, we started chatting.

"Gu Yuan, how much did your family spend on buying a car?"

Although the weather was warm, a charcoal fire was still lit as usual. As soon as Gu Yuan sat down, his aunt came over to chat.

"The landing price is 210,000." Gu Yuan took the fire tongs, stirred the charcoal brazier, and said casually, "I bought it with a loan, and I have to repay several thousand dollars every month. If they don't pay, I will You have to continue to pay it back.”

“It’s so fucking stressful!”

"In the past few days, I have been dreaming about how to repay this loan of more than 100,000 yuan."

After hearing this, the aunt felt much relieved.

Because she guessed that Gu Yuan's family couldn't afford such an expensive car.

After a while, the old lady returned the phone. Gu Yuan chatted with Ye Wenjun for a few words, and then said: "Go to bed early tonight, and we will meet in dreams."

……

On the first day of the new year, no one died in the village, so everyone stayed at home and couldn't leave their homes.

The custom of not being allowed to go to other people's homes on the first day of the Lunar New Year in southern Anhui can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, when the Tatars were passing through the border, there was no grass growing, and rivers of blood flowed from their bodies. Later, everyone agreed to kill the Tatars together. Whoever killed the Tatars would go there to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year as an excuse to check.

If the Tatars were not killed at home, they would not come to the door.

and so.

Gradually, it has evolved into a custom to visit someone’s home on the first day of the new year to pay New Year greetings if someone in the family dies.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, three aunts took the whole family back to their parents' home. The hometown became lively, and the sound of fireworks suddenly sounded inside and outside the courtyard.

The first thing Gu Yuan said when he saw Hou Liang was, "Show me the composition you wrote."

Hou Liang grinned: "I didn't bring my homework back!"

"Cauldron, let's go dig water chestnuts."

Hou Dan didn't know where he found out. Since the winter this year was relatively warm, water chestnuts were planted in a rice field. As soon as he got off the car, he carried a big spade and started digging and eating them.

The rice fields were full of mud, and Gu Yuan certainly didn't want to do that.

Chaozi from the second aunt's family also came to visit with his daughter-in-law Xiaocui to pay New Year's greetings. Although she was wearing a down jacket, it was obvious that Xiaocui's belly had grown bigger and she was obviously three months pregnant. Gu Yuan is the eldest grandson in the family, so the topic naturally shifted to Gu Yuan:

"Gu Yuan, when are you going to get married? My brother is already ahead of you!"

"Gu Yuan, that girl during the summer vacation is quite beautiful. Is she your girlfriend?"

There are all kinds of problems.

Gu Yuan was not annoyed and answered casually.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan went straight to the field ridge to burn weeds with a lighter. Unlike later, straw these days can still be burned, and the burned plant ashes can be returned to the fields to increase the fertility of the land.

Later, a group of 'agricultural experts' who were bribed by foreign countries were not allowed to do this or that. They know the national conditions, but they deliberately prescribe poisonous medicine to you. There are also some "pseudo-experts" whose names they don't even know, who make outrageous remarks every day, which is really harmful to the country and the people.

Gu Yuan lit the weeds on the ridge of the field and watched the dry grass crackle and burn. Several of his cousins ​​also clapped their hands excitedly and tried to light the weeds with lighters. Yangyang, the child of the third aunt's family, was the most honest. She turned around and told her family that the big pot was playing with fire.

When the old lady heard this, she rushed out immediately:

"Grandson, you can't play with fire, you'll wet the bed at night!"

Gu Yuan pretended that he couldn't hear it and simply ran away.

Hou Liang and Chaozi didn't take it seriously and ran away together.

Gu Hai also wanted to play with him, but his aunt caught him and said, "You are not allowed to play..."

"The cauldron is playing, why can't I play!"

"He needs to be beaten for wetting the bed at night. Do you want to be beaten too? Go watch cartoons!"

Gu Hai is the youngest. He is still at the age where he wets the bed. Every time he wets the bed, he will be beaten. Hearing this, he smiled and clapped his hands, "If the big pot wets the bed, the big pot will be beaten!"

but.

How can such a young child have any leisure time?

After watching cartoons for a while, we started playing with firecrackers everywhere.

Gu Yuan led a few cousins ​​to set a wildfire for a while, and then stood on the edge of the field to watch Hou Dan digging water chestnuts. As soon as she returned home with all the little carrots, she heard Gu Hai crying, and her aunt squatted by the pond with a gloomy face, washing her hands. After washing, she smelled it, and then continued washing.

"What's going on?" Gu Yuan asked.

The aunt secretly said, "Gu Hai just threw firecrackers into the pit, which scared his mother so much that she lost her grip on the phone and fell straight into the pit..."

"and then?"

"Took it out."

"How did you pay for it?"

"Use your hands."

Gu Yuanting's eyelids were twitching wildly and his scalp was numb. When I saw my aunt walking into the kitchen with a gloomy look on her face, she quickly took a detour and got out of the way.

Not a moment.

Several children knew this.

When it was time to eat at noon, several children were stunned as to whether they dared to carry the bowls.

Gu Yuan didn't care, because his aunt never cooked when she returned to her hometown, and she couldn't even serve food.

After lunch.

Chaozi squeezed onto the card table and played poker with the adults.

Gu Yuan also wanted to play, but was kicked out. Because he was not married, he was always a child in the eyes of adults. Several aunts also played long cards, and they were willing to take Gu Yuan to play. Although the gameplay was the same as mahjong, with cakes, strips, and ten thousand, Gu Yuan could not understand the patterns on it.

So I simply got into the house and chatted on QQ while watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala.

Several other children stayed in the yard and set off firecrackers.

but.

The sound of the firecrackers was so loud that it affected the two tables of people playing cards.

"Gu Yuan, take them to set wildfires!" Lao Gu had a headache from the noise and played several wrong cards.

"understood!"

Gu Yuan put away the phone without saying a word.

When they heard that they were going to set a fire, the children were very happy and quickly packed up their things and left.

Naturally, Gu Hai also started to make a fuss, shouting that he was going to play with fire. Of course my aunt didn't want to, so she said, "Aren't you afraid that he will throw firecrackers into the pit again?"

The aunt was actually upset by the noise, so she waved her hand, "Go, go!"

Simultaneously.

He also told Gu Yuan: "Watch your younger brothers and sisters, don't let them fall into the pond."

then.

A group of people ran around all over the mountains and plains, and they didn't come back until it was time for dinner.

As soon as he came back, Gu Hai shouted: "Mom, I didn't set the fire. It was the big pot that was playing with fire. He must have wet the bed at night."

"You're right, my son is the best!"

The aunt hugged Gu Hai's forehead and kissed him, "If you wet the bed, let your uncle and aunt beat him."

Gu Yuan said nothing.

He just silently took two large bottles of orange juice and Coca-Cola, soaked them in hot water, and took them out after the dinner table was served.

As soon as they saw the drink, the children immediately stopped eating and clamored for a drink.

"No, it's too cold. You'll catch a cold if you drink it."

The aunt said with a straight face.

"It's not cold. I've warmed it with boiling water. If you don't believe me, just touch it!"

Gu Yuan smiled and handed over the orange juice.

When the aunt touched it and saw the warmth, she didn't say anything. Gu Yuan unscrewed the orange juice, poured a glass for his brothers and sisters, and gave the remaining half of the bottle to Gu Hai, "Leave it to you for safekeeping..."

Gu Hai took the orange juice, sneaked off the table, hid in the corner and drank from the bottle.

Watching the other party finish drinking, Gu Yuan opened another bottle of Coke and refilled it for his brothers and sisters, deliberately placing the drinks in a conspicuous position. I saw Gu Hai pouring one glass at a time and another at another while the adults were not paying attention.

After a few rounds, half the bottle of Coke went into my stomach.

It's night, two o'clock.

Scattered firecrackers occasionally came.

The men are still fighting fiercely at the card table, while the women have either gone to bed or are still chatting around the charcoal brazier. Auntie had already laid down and was sleeping in a daze when she suddenly felt a warm current spreading from the center of the bed to the head and end of the bed. It was quite warm.

Just as this thought emerged, my aunt suddenly woke up. She quickly turned on the light and lifted the quilt. A scream broke the silence:

"Gu Hai, get the fuck up, who made you wet the bed again!"
