In the early morning, he was awakened by the crow of the big rooster brought by Little Fatty Tang. He got up and went to the toilet. After washing, he went to the kitchen to light a fire. Sister-in-law Jin walked in after he raised the fire.

"Tieniu, from now on, sleep a little more. Children must have a good sleep. You are growing up now, and the things in the kitchen are not your responsibility." Sister-in-law Jin said and started working quickly. .

"Auntie, it's already dawn and I can't sleep. It's okay to be idle, and it's not tiring work." Tieniu felt sorry for his aunt and wanted to help him with more work.

"Okay, as long as your little mouth can talk, okay, aunt won't talk about you anymore." Sister-in-law Jin knew the little guy's feelings for her, so she didn't say anything and was busy.

"His aunt, did you get up so early?" Zhu Yuru got up and came to the kitchen. She saw that the two people, one large and one small, were already almost done, so she asked sheepishly.

"Rural people are used to it. Even in the city, they can't change the habit of getting up early." Sister-in-law Jin said with a smile, and then looked at the iron cow lighting the fire.

"Little Tieniu is a good boy. He feels sorry for me. He gets up early every day to help. Alas, this child has suffered." Sister-in-law Jin sighed at Tieniu who was lighting the fire.

"It's nothing. The child has good sleep habits and develops self-discipline. He helps you and feels sorry for you. It shows that my eldest grandson is a good and affectionate child.

The two were chatting, and after a while, Mrs. Chu and Miaomiao also got up and came to the kitchen. Suddenly, the kitchen became lively, and the lively atmosphere of the New Year suddenly came early.

When Chu Han got up and washed up, he had already hung up the firecrackers with two kicks and a thousand rings, and lit them with the big front door. Suddenly, the firecrackers sounded, and the Jin sisters, the big tabby cat, and the little carbon-headed cat were still sleeping. Awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, muttering dissatisfiedly, he went to wash up. The big tabby cat's family of four and the little Tantou also ran over and looked at the red paper scraps on the ground.

The breakfast was very rich. The whole family sat at two large tables and chatted about their travel plans for a while while eating. During the Chinese New Year, Yangko and stilts are the most cheerful fun. When the gongs and drums sound, everyone, male, female, old and young, will be excited. Some The elderly will follow the yangko team and twist a few times.

This year, many units have organized yangko teams. It is an indispensable item to visit various units to pay New Year greetings. Last year, everyone saw it and liked this cheerful program very much. As soon as the suona and gongs and drums sounded, it felt automatic Come up.

Looking at the clothes that look as good as costumes, the colors painted on the face, they are very beautiful, the fans dancing in their hands, and the shiny sticks with gold paper on them, and the big money nailed into the gaps cut out by the stick heads. The clattering sound and uniform movements made the children running behind even more excited.

Everyone is also talking about this matter. After all, the Yangko team comes to pay New Year's greetings every year, and Baicaotang is also a very famous small unit in this alley. It is very honorable to give some money to pay New Year's greetings.

If you give me five yuan, the steward will be rewarded with fifty yuan if he shouts. If you give ten yuan, and the steward will be rewarded with a hundred yuan if he shouts, that is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Organizing a Yangko team is generally a way for streets, nursing homes and other units to raise funds to improve life. It can also be regarded as a kind of sponsorship and an act of kindness.

Every year it is organized by old ladies, and this year is also the case. Old ladies have already prepared red envelopes, each red envelope costs [-] yuan.

When Xiao Jinlan heard everyone talking about going to see Yangko, her face turned red with excitement. She likes the ones on stilts the most. They stand on tied wooden sticks. Some of them are good at doing somersaults. This is something she has wanted to learn for a long time, but she has never seen the way.

The Chu family lives in the south and has never seen the Yangko dance performance in the north during the New Year. They want to see the truth. Everyone is looking forward to it.

After the meal, several women were clearing away the dishes and chopsticks. The men and children were already standing outside the gate of the courtyard. Little Tieniu was also standing at the gate with the adults. Chu Hansheng had already prepared firecrackers. As long as the Yangko dancers When we arrived at the door of the house, the gongs and drums sounded and the firecrackers were lit.

At the entrance of the alley, a team wearing colorful Yangko costumes came this way amid the crowds of people. The Tang family went out to celebrate the New Year, the door was closed, and the Yangko team came directly this way.

A large group of people organized a team and stood at the gate shouting auspicious words for New Year's greetings and prosperity. Chu Hansheng's firecrackers went off and the steward shouted: "The master is giving me a reward of five hundred. Thank you, master. Let's get together."

The gongs and drums of the suona sounded, and the yangko team started dancing. Originally, after a section of the suona, they rushed to the next house. This year, I gave [-] yuan, and the person in charge sent a signal to the drum band, so the time took a lot longer.

There were also people from the Public Security Bureau behind them, wearing grass-green military uniforms. Yangko team, I don’t know where the ones at the back are from?

"Grandpa, add fifty more to each." Little Tieniu squeezed into the old man's side and whispered.

"What's wrong?" the old man asked in confusion.

"There are many more in the street and the police station. This is all a favor from the future. It would be bad to miss them." After Xiao Tieniu finished speaking, he took out two wads of money from his pocket and handed them to the old man.

The old lady understood, and took out a red envelope worth fifty yuan and handed it to the steward at the scene. The steward was also a wonderful person. He winked at the drum music and the drum music stopped.

"The master saw our wonderful performance and added a reward of [-] yuan. So what are you waiting for? Get moving." The steward shouted. When he heard about the extra reward, the Yangko dance became even more cheerful.

Director Zhang from the street stood outside the crowd with his team, looking at the lively scene here. The logistics director of the Public Security Bureau also stood in front of the team. All of a sudden, the alley was blocked, and the drums and music were loud.

After this wave ended, the Yangko team surged forward. Director Zhang had already walked over. When the Yangko team lined up, Director Zhang shouted auspicious words for a hundred years, and the old lady hurriedly came up to greet them.

"Happy New Year, Director Zhang, Happy New Year." The old lady said and took out a red envelope that was already worth one hundred yuan. Director Zhang took it and was stunned. It only cost ten yuan last year. Why is it so thick this year?

Director Zhang handed the red envelope to the manager. The manager opened the red envelope, counted the number of bills inside, and shouted loudly: "My boss is giving me a reward of one thousand yuan. I wish my boss a happy New Year and a prosperous business. Come on." ..." The steward shouted loudly, his voice deliberately prolonged.

The firecrackers sounded again, the gongs and drums sounded, and the enthusiastic Yangko team started dancing. The Yangko team that had finished their performance did not go far and turned back to stop and watch.

Behind the street is the Yangko team of the Public Security Bureau. In front of the Yangko team, two people are carrying a sign covered with red cloth. Everyone has no idea what is going on and is whispering.

The old man hurriedly walked over. Director Feng, the logistics director of the Public Security Bureau, raised his hand, and the whole team stopped. Director Feng whispered a few times in the old man's ear, took the lead and walked towards the door, instructing Chu Hansheng to move the ladder and pull it out. The plaque covered with red cloth hung in the middle of the door. Director Feng and Lao Huazi stood on both sides, each holding a red rope in his hand.

The Yangko team had already lined up, and the steward stood in front and shouted loudly: "Thank you to the Tie family for supporting the public security front, and I would like to grant this honor to the Tie family for supporting the army."

As soon as the steward finished speaking, Laohuazi and Director Feng exerted their strength, the red cloth fell, and the golden characters "House of Supporting the Army" on the plaque leaked out, and applause broke out.

Chu Hansheng also lit firecrackers on the occasion. Amidst the crackling firecrackers, the old man handed two big red envelopes to Director Feng, one with one hundred yuan in it, and the other with a neat wad of money, one thousand yuan.

"The master will give you a reward of [-] yuan. Let's send New Year's greetings to the Tie family who support the glorious army. Twist it for me." After the steward shouted, he took a step back, and the drum music sounded, and the gongs and drums were noisy.

After this wave ended, the Yangko team gave up the place, and the next Yangko team rushed over. The front was also carrying a sign, covered with a red cloth. The whole family didn't know what was going on, and looked at it in confusion. ,

The old man hurried forward to greet him, whispered a few words to the person in front of him, and immediately smiled. When the person who was about to greet him came to the gate, Chu Hansheng had already moved the ladder over.

A sign was hung on the big wall next to it. The leader stood on the steps and shouted in a loud voice: "This is an honorary citizen's home awarded to the Tie family by the city government. Thank you to the Tie family for continuing to serve the people and help the government." , assisting the government in its work.”

Applause rang out, and the rows of yangko teams began to twist again amidst the shouts of the stewards. The sound of firecrackers and drums filled the alley.

The Yangko team never stopped, one wave after another. Director Zhang stood in the crowd, his eyes glazed over for a moment. He didn’t understand what the Baicao Hall did, why so many units sent plaques, and why suddenly A Tie family member came out and didn’t understand.

People in the entire compound didn't understand either. Only Xiao Tieniu knew that he had never expected to receive so many honors.

Throughout the day, the sound of firecrackers, gongs, drums, suonas, people's cheers, applause, and laughter never stopped, and the alley was always blocked.

At noon, no one had eaten. Whoever felt hungry went to grab a bite. Xiao Jinlan and Xiao Jinzhu stood on the steps, smiling non-stop, with their little breasts sticking out proudly.

It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the crowd in the alley gradually dispersed. The hungry women started cooking in the kitchen. The men and their children sat in the middle hall and waited. Little Tieniu was in the kitchen, lighting a fire and pacifying himself. He was afraid of entering. The nave will be asked.

A sumptuous dinner was served on the table, and no one moved their chopsticks. Even little Jinlan, who was already drooling, was sitting on the chair honestly.

"This year is a very lively year, a year of reunion, and also the most unforgettable year. What is worth mentioning is that little Tieniu used his young shoulders to stand up for the Tie family and work silently for everyone. In order to have such harmony Happy home, cheers everyone, thank you Tieniu." Mr. Guo picked up the steaming wine glass and said loudly.
