There's a garbage bin in my head

Chapter 78 New Year's Eve
It will soon be New Year’s Eve. In the past, other people’s houses were lively and lively during the New Year’s Eve, but Luo Jiu’s family would be fine if they returned to Qingshan Village for the New Year’s Eve. Two words can be finished.

Usually, Dad Luo Bang is busy in the kitchen alone, two people cook four dishes, and eat dinner when it gets dark around [-] o'clock in the evening.

Then Luo Jiu was responsible for setting off firecrackers, and Luo Bang prepared the dishes for early morning on New Year's Day. It wasn't that Luo Jiu didn't want to help, it was mainly because Luo Bang wouldn't let him.After they were almost ready, the father and son watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV until twelve o'clock.

The two would communicate occasionally, but the gala was getting worse and worse, and there were not many things that the father and son could communicate with each other, Luo Jiu couldn't listen to many of Luo Bang's arrangements.

So when other people's houses were laughing and preparing for the New Year, Luo Jiu's house was deserted, except for the voice coming from the TV.

So in the past, Luo Jiu didn't like to stay in Xiaoyang Village to celebrate the New Year, and usually went back to Xiaoyang Village early to spend the New Year with his grandparents, while Luo Bang would usually be busy until the New Year's Eve before rushing back to Qingshan Village for the New Year.

The Chinese New Year at the grandparents’ house will be much more lively. At the end of the year, most of the people in the village will come back, and at Luo Jiu’s house, even if the cousin does not come back, the cousin will usually come back for the New Year.

Coupled with the fact that there are many peers in the village, Luo Jiu has more places to play.It's not like celebrating the New Year in Xiaoyang Village, even if there are plenty of places to play outside, Luo Jiu can't go out, so he can't just leave his father Luo Bang at home alone, right?

But when he arrived at Qingshan Village, Luo Jiu didn't have such worries anymore. These days, if he wanted to go to any house to join in the fun, he would go to that house to join in the fun. Anyway, the family's grandparents, uncles and aunts were all at home, and there were people coming from the village. Don't worry about Dad being alone.

However, this year is different from previous years. Luo Jiu’s family finally looks like a home. Early on New Year’s Eve, Luo Jiu and Pang Linghui were ordered by Luo Bang and Aunt Hongmei to clean the house, post couplets, and Chopping meat to make meatballs, killing chickens, and killing fish have not stopped since I woke up in the morning.

At noon, the family of four drank a little wine.It is the Wuliangye that Luo Jiu bought not long ago, more than 2000 yuan a box, which is much better than the Shaoyang Daqu that Luo Bang used to drink. Of course, the price is not comparable to Shaoyang Daqu.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Dad and Aunt Hongmei each took out two big red envelopes, and Luo Jiu and Pang Linghui each received two.

"Thank you, auntie, thank you, dad!" Luo Jiu happily accepted the two thick-looking red envelopes. Based on Luo Jiu's experience in receiving red envelopes, the money inside must be at least 2000 yuan, and the two red envelopes add up to 4000 yuan. money.

Although Luo Jiu made tens of millions this year, when Luo Jiu took these two red envelopes, she felt much happier than when she earned that money.

Seeing Luo Jiu and Pang Linghui happily accepting the red envelopes, Luo Bang and Aunt Hongmei smiled a little funny and helplessly and said: "You two are not young anymore. Don't wait too long just for this red envelope for the New Year." It’s too late to find a partner, and I’ve taken the red envelopes for so many years, so it should be enough.”

The custom on Luo Jiu's side, regardless of gender, as long as they are not married, they can receive red envelopes from their elders during the Chinese New Year, and they are not allowed to refuse.

But after getting married, the red envelopes of these elders will be gone.Not only can you not receive red envelopes, but you have to give red envelopes to the elders during the Chinese New Year.

So when you reach a certain age, when your elders give you red envelopes, they will always say something like this, urging you to find a partner to get married quickly.

I don't know whether these parents and elders are worried about everyone's life-long events, or they are reluctant to give everyone red envelopes
But Luo Jiu has only turned 22 years old, and it's still too early to talk about getting married, even if it's another seven or eight years, it's not too late.Of course, it cannot be compared with Wang Peng and Cheng Ping.

With so many classmates, Luo Jiu has only seen these two people before. They were holding their children for college graduation photos, and Luo Jiu knew only those couples.

However, Pang Linghui will be 25 years old after the new year. Although she is not very old, she is also old enough to get married.Pang Linghui is two years younger than Luo Jinyan, and exactly two years older than Luo Jiu.

So before Pang Linghui got married, the family should not urge Luo Jiu to marry on a blind date for the time being, which can be regarded as blocking a bullet for Luo Jiu.

Seeing that Dad has almost prepared the dishes for tomorrow morning, Luo Jiu, who really can't stand watching the gala, suggested: "The current Spring Festival gala is getting uglier and uglier, why don't some of us play mahjong, Let's see if you two, Auntie and Dad, can win back some of the lucky money you just gave us?"

When she heard that she was going to play mahjong, Aunt Hongmei, who was drowsy on the sofa, immediately regained her spirits: "Okay, I haven't played mahjong with Xiaojiu yet, but I don't play mahjong very well. Just give me a break."

In the past, when Luo Jiu went shopping at the Hongmei Wholesale Department, she would often hear Aunt Hongmei and the shop owners next door yelling to play mahjong. I have time to sit down and play mahjong, so I just talk about it.

Luo Bang connected the power to the mahjong table, and while waiting for the cards to be shuffled, he said, "Let's talk about it first, let's go to bed until twelve o'clock, and get up early for dinner tomorrow."

During the Chinese New Year with Luo Jiu and the others, the meal on the night of the New Year's Eve is generally relatively simple, and the most hearty meal is the meal on the morning of the first day of the New Year.

For example, Luo Jiu's family only prepared six dishes for the New Year's Eve meal this year, but eight dishes for tomorrow morning.

Unlike some places, more than ten dishes are prepared during the Chinese New Year, while Meixian usually has eight or ten dishes during the Chinese New Year, but they are all hard dishes.

Like the eight dishes of Luo Jiu’s New Year’s Day, there are two bowls of meat, one bowl of bacon, one bowl of braised pork leg, one cured fish, one braised fish, one chicken, one bowl of meatballs, and one bowl of mutton , A bowl of pork knuckle stewed radish.

There are all large vegetable bowls, and it will take several days to finish eating so many dishes.

"The bacon is ready. I'll cut some bacon for you to taste. Xiaojiu, go downstairs and set off the fireworks. Everyone is setting off fireworks outside. Let's set off ours too!"

Originally, during dinner just now, Luo Jiu set off several firecrackers and four barrels of large fireworks.But this year, the family bought a lot of firecrackers and fireworks. I used my pickup truck to pull a truck from a firecracker wholesaler, which cost Luo Jiu more than 8000 yuan.

However, Luo Jiu told his father Luo Bang that it only cost more than 3000 yuan, because in previous years, when he returned to Qingshan for the New Year, he usually bought more than 2000 yuan for firecrackers.But this year is different from previous years, so Luo Bang didn't say anything about Luo Jiu's purchase of more than 3000 yuan of firecrackers.

Moreover, setting off firecrackers around the county town in previous years was always sneaky. Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the horns in the village have been ringing non-stop, telling everyone not to set off firecrackers during the New Year.

This year, however, I have never called out not to set off firecrackers once this year, but I just ask everyone to pay attention to safety when setting off firecrackers.So since the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks in the village has not stopped, and the air is filled with the smell of nitrate.
