The perfect life of rebirth

There are old rumors that Nian is a monster that will come out to wreak havoc and even eat people at the end of the year.In order to drive away the Nian beast, at the end of the year, people set off firecrackers in their homes one after another, and put up red Spring Festival couplets. Over time, the Nian beast was completely frightened away, but the customs of setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets remained, and the Nian was also abolished. This is probably the reason for calling it the New Year's Eve.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Jianguo got up early and lifted Li Qiang and Li Ming, who were sleeping soundly in the back room, out of the bed. Today is the day when the whole family goes out to do New Year's shopping.

Li Qiang and Li Ming came out of the house muttering, washed their faces, and were about to eat in the kitchen when Mrs. Li came back from running outside the courtyard.Exercising every morning has become a habit of Mrs. Li. Even after the winter vacation, he has no intention of abandoning the habit of morning exercise.

After the family had eaten, Li Jianguo took out the fat and strong mule he had fed at home, put it on a large cart, took out some quilts and spread them on it, and called Liu Mei to take Li and his wife and brothers three Get in the car.After everyone got up and sat down, Li Jianguo sat in front of the cart, raised the whip in his hand and slapped the mule pulling the cart, and shouted: "Drive, let's go out to buy new year's goods."

The mule cart moved quickly, and it left the village in less than 5 minutes.The cart was very spacious, and Mrs. Li sat on the quilt and leaned back on the side of the cart. Since she was wearing thick clothes, she didn't feel cold.At this time, the sun gradually rose from the horizon, and the sun was shining on the vast land.Li Ming who was beside him shrunk his body, leaned to Li's side and said, "Brother, people on the street say that you have made money, is it true, how much have you made?"

"Hehe, I made some money." Mrs. Li said, he didn't know where these powerful villagers got the news from.

So he turned around and asked Liu Mei, "Mom, how does everyone in the village know?"

"It's not your father's loudspeaker that broadcast it. If you let him know something, it's almost like the whole village knows." Liu Mei said with a white look at her husband who was driving the car.

"Haha, what are you afraid of? It's not a shame. Why don't you let others know that our son is promising. Look at the way those guys saw me, haha..." Li Jianguo said loudly.

"You can!" Liu Mei said.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li waved his hand and said, "Mom, let my dad say it if he wants to. If you buy something expensive, those gossips will talk nonsense about the expensive medicine my father prescribed to them."

After hearing this, Liu Mei also felt that this was the reason, so instead of blaming Li Jianguo, she stretched out her hand to help Li Jiang pull the quilt covering her lap and said with a smile: "My son still understands the truth."

"That is, how can my Li Jianguo's son be ignorant, Xiaoqiang, third son, you two should learn from your brother." Li Jianguo said.

"Got it." Li Ming didn't expect to ask such a long conversation, and finally lead the disaster to himself, even though he didn't know the result he wanted in the end, so he didn't dare to ask again.

Li Jianguo drove the car in high spirits. He felt a little emotional about the changes in his eldest son in the past six months. First, he suddenly went to participate in some Mandarin competitions, and finally won a prize. In high schools in the city, Li Jianguo often heard people say that after passing the entrance examination, it is basically equivalent to entering a university, which is much better than that normal teacher.If this is just the beginning, when Mrs. Li solemnly called the couple to the Taoist house one day, handed them a passbook of 5 yuan, and told them that it was the money he earned, they would be happy. Not just surprised, but shocked.Li Jianguo works as a veterinarian in the village, earning [-] million yuan a year, which is already enviable to many people, not to mention the [-] yuan passbook that Mrs. Li took out at once, and according to his son, this is only part of it. It is less than half, and it is said that it will make more money in the future.Li Jianguo was worried, so he went to the village to ask Zhang Zhenghai. After learning that Mrs. Li's money came from no problem at all, he was very happy. Almost everyone in the village knew that Li Jianguo was a promising young man, and he was able to make money when he was in junior high school.

"Daughter-in-law, do you think we should buy another mule this year?" Li Jianguo asked loudly.

"Dad, you should stop buying livestock. How about buying a car? Let's also install a telephone in our house. I don't have to go home every day when I have something to do." Mrs. Li answered.

"Okay, let's not buy livestock anymore, let's buy cars to install phones, haha..." Li Jianguo laughed loudly, whipped the whip skillfully in his hand, and hit the mule with a crisp cracking sound, and the mule pulled with its hooves. The car disappeared at the end of the road in a flash.

The place where the New Year’s goods are held is Yuexiang County, which is more than 20 miles away from Tasi Village. There is a large farmers’ market here. By the way, a lively livestock trading market was formed on the street, which has disappeared in the 21st century.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning when Mrs. Li's family came here. Li Jianguo found a tree on the side of the road to tie the animals, and then let his youngest son, Li Ming, look after the car. He led Liu Mei, Mrs. Li and Li Ming to the farmers' trade The market has gone shopping.Since Mrs. Li not only achieved good academic performance this year, but also made money, the well-off Li Jianguo and his wife did not plan to save any more this year. Soon, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li sent a steady stream of new year's goods to the car. At the end of the shopping in the afternoon, the originally loose space in the car was already filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat, as well as other New Year's goods.

After Li Jianguo and his family got into the car, he raised his whip and shouted, "Go home."

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Although Mrs. Li asked Li Jianguo to take the computer back home from school these days, he did not occupy the computer too much. Instead, he gave the computer to Li Qiang and Li Ming. Game consoles for people.The two stayed in Mrs. Li's house all day and did not come out, which made Liu Mei somewhat critical. She reminded Li Jianguo many times to take care of the two sons, but Li Jianguo held an attitude of neither support nor opposition, and did not treat the two sons. In his words, children should have some hobbies. Besides, Mrs. Li took the computer away after school started, and the two of them had no chance even if they wanted to be addicted.

On the morning of the [-]th, Li Jianguo led three people headed by Mrs. Li, and pasted red couplets on the halls of his house. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the taste of the New Year suddenly became stronger.

In the afternoon, Li Jianguo went out to find Li Gui, while Liu Mei took Li and his three brothers to sit together and made dumplings enough for the whole family to eat three meals. Bao, Li Qiang and Li Ming were purely making soy sauce. Not only that, but they also picked up the flour at hand to play around from time to time, which not only couldn't help, but also delayed a lot of work.

In the evening, when the dumplings were about to be wrapped, Li Jianguo came back from outside. Seeing Li Jianguo coming back, Liu Mei put some dumplings in the pot that had been boiled just now. went.

Mrs. Li's grandparents passed away when Mrs. Li was in primary school. Mrs. Li still remembers the voices and smiles of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's grandparents very much. Mrs. Li, who has experienced past and present lives, stood in front of the grave of his grandparents and thought that in the time and space he lived in the previous life, he and Li Jianguo had turned into a pair of loess, but Li Jianguo could be buried in this ancestral grave of his family, and he could It is unknown if he cannot be buried in his ancestral grave.

With a pious heart, Mrs. Li asked to press some straw paper on the grave of his grandparents, and after burning the rest of the straw paper in front of the grave, he, Li Qiang and Li Ming followed Li Jianguo to give to his grandparents. Kowtowed three heads and went home.

When she got home, Liu Mei had already cooked the dumplings and was waiting for Li Jianguo to bring her three children home.After the four of them got home, they set off firecrackers, and the family sat around the table eating delicious and delicious dumplings like white geese, waiting for the annual Spring Festival Gala to start.

Mrs. Li had watched some classic programs on the Spring Festival Gala in [-] many times in his previous life, but it didn't affect him watching and discussing with his family enthusiastically. He was enjoying the rare happiness of being together with his family.When it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, Li Jianguo led the three brothers Li and his wife to the courtyard, hung the [-] firecrackers they bought on the tree in the courtyard, and waited for the twelve o'clock time on the TV. They want to snatch firecrackers for the New Year's head hanging in the village, because rural people believe that the family that lights the New Year's head and hangs the whip will be blessed by God for a year.

At twelve o'clock, when Mr. Li lit the firecrackers, other places in the village gradually heard the sound of firecrackers, and Tasi Village became a sea of ​​firecrackers. At this time, did you grab the first firecracker? For most villagers It's not important anymore.The new year has begun, and all people may make a wish for New Year's blessings in their hearts.
