get close to her, bend her

If you want to say where the Chinese New Year flavor is the best, it must be the countryside.

Starting from sending the Kitchen God to the Kitchen God on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, every household has started to prepare for the Spring Festival.New Year's goods bought early.Sweep the house, clear the yard, tidy up the family warehouse.Then steamed buns, steamed cakes, prepared New Year’s dishes, fried chicken, fried fish and fried lotus root boxes. In short, the best things to eat during the New Year must be made by yourself.Basically, when it comes to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, everything is almost ready.After the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, every family put up Spring Festival couplets, and the hanging dates made of multicolored paper are neatly stacked on the door lintel and window lattice, colorful and colorful, and it is very beautiful with the breeze.

This window can't be idle either. Red paper-cuts are pasted on the well-polished glass, such as the arrival of spring, happy brows, five blessings, double happiness and so on. superior.

Even the water tanks in the yard, the top of the wall, the guard tree planted at the gate, and the antenna poles on the roadside are all pasted with a big blessing.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the two red lanterns at the gate are lit up, and the red halo reflected on the faces of the family members is completely happy.

After a simple dinner, the adults kowtowed melon seeds to watch the Spring Festival Gala and waited for the New Year’s Eve dinner, while the children were excited to wear red and green, and walked around the streets to watch the fireworks. , let's go and have a look. At that time, his house released a diamond monkey, let's go and have a look.They were so busy that night, like a revolving lantern that couldn't stop, regardless of the cool night, they untied their scarves one by one, and ran around in the small square of the village with their hands shaking. Like the stars, following the children's jumping and dancing, twinkling and twinkling is so naughty.

Not long after, the firecrackers also began to crackle, and the year began like this.

Gu Qingqing managed to get a ticket for December 29th, took the train from one o'clock in the afternoon, and did not arrive in the city until one o'clock in the afternoon the next day.She gave her grandma a gift in the city, bought a ticket at the intercity bus station, and went straight back to the countryside.

When Gu Qingqing's parents first got married, they lived in the countryside. There were five cement tile houses and a small courtyard. Gu Qingqing also lived here until she was in high school.

Later, Gu Qingqing was admitted to a key high school in the city, and her parents' jobs were transferred from the township to the city, so they bought a house in the city with a loan.But something happened before the loan was paid off.At that time, Gu Qingqing was still in college and did not have the ability to repay the loan. Fortunately, the loan was almost paid off, and it was about 1000 per month. Gu Qingqing entrusted an intermediary to rent out the house and repay the loan with the rent.Unexpectedly, the second aunt actually played tricks, changed her power of attorney, and sold the house.

Gu Qingqing came back this time not only to recover the 20 in compensation, but also to ask her second aunt to spit out the money from selling the house.

When Gu Qingqing arrived in the countryside, it was almost three o'clock.Today is the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the streets in the village are also covered with colorful flags, full of the flavor of the new year.

Carrying her bag and luggage, she said hello to the folks she didn't know and walked home. Although she only came back once or twice a year, this was the place where she grew up, and she could find her home even with her eyes closed.

The second aunt and the others returned to their hometown a long time ago, but they don't live in the village.They had already bought another house in the town, a two-story bungalow.In previous years, Gu Qingqing lived with her grandma in the small bungalow of her second aunt's house in order to get the family together. She was the happiest, but she didn't expect that people didn't regard her as a family member at all.

Grandma didn't go to the town to celebrate the New Year with her second uncle this year, so she stayed in her own three-room old tile-roofed house.The second brother had such a big incident, the second aunt scolded whoever she saw, and the grandmother was getting older, so she couldn't worry about it anymore, so she might as well stay in her lair quietly.

Gu Qingqing went to grandma's house first.When grandma saw Gu Qingqing, she was as lukewarm as ever.He neither intentionally made things difficult for her because of his second brother, nor warmly welcomed her.

"I'm back." It was such a faint sentence.

Gu Qingqing was also used to it.The older generation is a bit patriarchal, but fortunately her parents are not like that, they only gave birth to her a daughter, it is said that in order to have a second child, grandma and mother quarreled all day long, just wanting to hold a grandson.

Later, the second uncle got married, and the second aunt gave birth to a fat boy, so the grandma didn't care much about her parents, and probably realized that she couldn't do it.

But elders are still elders, besides, grandma never harmed herself, Gu Qingqing still has basic filial piety.She chatted with grandma for a few words, and grandma said that we should have dinner here. Gu Qingqing thought that tomorrow would be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the house hadn't been cleaned up yet, so she told grandma to go home first with her bag on her back. up.

She opened the gate of the yard with the key, and then opened the front door of the house. Gu Qingqing looked at all this with a sore nose, the furniture was still there, and the group photo of her parents was still there, but things were different.

Gu Qingqing put the bag on the wooden chair in the living room, and found the electric card from the drawer next to it. When she came back last time, the house was out of electricity, but at that time she went to the town with her grandma, and she also If you are not at home for the New Year, you will not have a charging card.

All charging cards in the village had to go to the village committee. Gu Qingqing took 100 yuan from his wallet and was about to go out. When he passed the door, he saw that the switch was disconnected, so he closed it, and the light in the house turned on.

"Is there electricity?" Gu Qingqing was surprised. She pressed the light switch several times back and forth, and it was indeed on. She turned on the TV in the room again. The refrigerator is still full of vegetables, and the freezer on the lower floor is also stuffed with frozen fish and meat. Maybe because the refrigerator was powered off before, the ice has already melted a little. Fortunately, it is cold and the ice has not melted too much. .

Gu Qingqing closed the refrigerator, and then took a closer look inside the room. She hadn't come back for so long, but the room was very clean. She reached out and took the group photo of her parents on the table, and wiped it carefully. dust.She looked at the other furniture, all of which were wiped clean without exception.

Gu Qingqing suddenly burst into tears, needless to say, it was all done by grandma.Although she is not the boy grandma wants, grandma still has her own in her heart.Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing let out a sigh of relief. In fact, not everyone is like Second Aunt.

Gu Qingqing arrived at the guest bedroom, took out the quilt from the cupboard, and made the bed by herself.By the way, I pulled out the electric blanket and put it on.Now there is no central heating in rural areas, and each household burns coal for heating by themselves.

There was some charcoal left over from previous years piled up in the yard, but Gu Qingqing didn't know how to light a stove.You can only watch but not keep warm.On the east side of the courtyard is a side room, which is separated by two rooms. The inner room is equipped with a kang, which can sleep 5.6 people.The outside is the stove, which also serves as the second kitchen in the house. In the past, when Gu Qingqing's parents were there, they would move the bedroom to the folk square in winter, and fill the outside stove with firewood at night. .In this way, the kang inside will be warm, and the whole family will lie on the warm kang, eating snacks and having a good time, not to mention a lot of comfort.

Gu Qingqing especially missed the time when she slept on the kang with her parents.She came out of the east side room and thought about it. Although she couldn't light the fire of the heating stove, she could burn the stove.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing took the quilt out of the main room, spread it on the kang in the side room again, licked most of the pot of water into the big iron pot on the stove, went to the yard, picked up a bunch of branches and stuffed them into the stove. He picked up a stick to ignite the fire, and the stove was lit in a short while.

Looking at the blazing flames, Gu Qingqing felt a sense of accomplishment, at least he could sleep on the kang at night, which was much better than the empty and cold main room.

Gulu... Gu Qingqing hasn't eaten much since she got on the train, and she's really hungry after the busy work back home.She was wondering if she should make something to eat by herself, when she saw grandma staggering in, carrying a pot lid made of sorghum stalks, on which was a pot full of freshly made dumplings.

"Let's have dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner. It's Chinese New Year, and we have to cook a pot of dumplings at home." Grandma put the lid of the pot on the stove and left without saying anything else.

The pot of dumplings was half cooked by Gu Qingqing before the New Year's Eve dinner. She ate a few and drank a few mouthfuls of the dumpling soup, only then did she feel much more comfortable in her stomach.

Gu Qingqing looked at the time, it was almost six o'clock, and it was already getting dark.Seeing the bareness on the door of her house, Gu Qingqing put on her coat and ran to the supermarket in the village, trying her luck to see if she could buy couplets and spend some money.

Coincidentally, there were the last few couplets and money left in the supermarket, and Gu Qingqing wanted them all.On the way back, I passed a fireworks and firecracker distribution point, and I ordered another box of fireworks, and asked someone to deliver them to my home.

Gu Qingqing took the couplet and went to grandma's house first. Before seven o'clock, grandma had already turned off the lights, locked the door and went to sleep.

Gu Qingqing lightly pasted the Spring Festival couplets, Guoqian and blessings outside the door, and then went home.It was a waste of work again when I got home, and I finished posting all the remaining Spring Festival couplets.

I watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while in the main room at night, it was too cold.It's useless for Gu Qingqing to hug a hand warmer. She thought that she must study the heating stove tomorrow, otherwise she would freeze to death in the few days off.

Many people outside started to set off fireworks and firecrackers, and from time to time I heard groups of children laughing as they passed by her door.

How lively it is outside, how lonely it is here.

"It's Chinese New Year." Gu Qingqing looked at the fireworks rising from time to time outside the window.Hearing the crackling hugging sound, he let out a long sigh and said to himself naturally, "Gu Qingqing, you're going to be a year older again."

As she spoke, she took out a few dollars from her pocket, which was the change left over from buying fireworks and Spring Festival couplets in the evening.She dug out another piece of red paper from the house, put a few wallets in it, then patted it with satisfaction, and stuffed the red envelope into her pocket, "This is your lucky money! New year, you have to work hard! "

Gu Qingqing originally wanted to insist on watching the Spring Festival Gala and staying up late to watch the year, but she was too sleepy after traveling all day, and it was less than a month since she had the operation, so she didn't dare to use her own body to create it.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala in the cold main room until 9 o'clock, she couldn't hold on anymore.She turned off the TV and turned off the lights, and walked towards the east side room with Nuan Baobao in her arms. Halfway there, she turned back and turned on all the lights in the main room, bedroom, kitchen, and warehouse.

"Look more lively like this!"

Folding back to the side room, Gu Qingqing didn't even change her pajamas, she just put on thermal underwear and got into bed. Fortunately, the bed was hot, and amidst the noisy fireworks and firecrackers outside, Gu Qingqing fell asleep.

Gu Qingqing really fell asleep so badly, until the phone rang seven or eight times, she got up in a daze, stared at the phone in a daze, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside was still the same, Chinese New Year, it should be lively, this time There is basically no rest overnight.To celebrate the New Year in the countryside is basically a carnival for the whole village.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at the phone, it was Li Xue calling.

"Hello, Xiaoxue, happy new year." Gu Qingqing's voice was sleepy.

"Little Sister Gu, Happy Chinese New Year!" Li Xue's voice was full of excitement, "Little Sister Gu, you are already asleep, hahahaha, what are you sleeping and wake up!"

The two chattered on the phone for a while, and Gu Qingqing asked Li Xue to say hello to her uncle and aunt on her behalf. The guy didn't know if he heard it clearly, but he said to himself that her parents were going on a trip on the second day of the new year. When it came to where she was going... the neighbors next door might have kicked and boomed a few times, but Gu Qingqing didn't hear anything clearly, and seemed to have heard Tang Chun's name.

Li Xue talked on her own, and didn't stop until her parents called her to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

I hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was past 0 o'clock, and it was the first day of the new year.

"Hey...sleep." The new year's day couldn't stop Gu Qingqing's urge to sleep at this time.

The dazed Gu Qingqing fell asleep again.This time, I also had a dream. I dreamed that someone was beating a drum, and the sound of the beating was still that of a tin drum. Dang—dang—dang—it also had a trembling sound, just like when she was a child kicking the big iron gate at the gate of her house.

Yes, that's the sound, clang, clang, clang—no!Gu Qingqing woke up with a jerk, who is kicking the big iron gate of her house?

She put on her coat and came out from the east side room. The headlights in the courtyard were still on, and the gate at the entrance of the courtyard was indeed rattling.The sound of firecrackers faded in the middle of the night, and Gu Qingqing heard someone shouting outside the gate: "Sister, open the door! Sister! Open the door!"

"I'm going, why did you recruit this evildoer?" Gu Qingqing knew who it was as soon as he heard the louder noise than the firecrackers outside the door.

Unlocking the lock from the inside, Gu Qing opened the door, and saw Tang Chun wrapped in a grass-green military overcoat, waving his arms, and shouting at the top of his voice, "Surprise!"

It's a surprise, it's almost like being scared to death by you.

"Come in quickly, how did you come here?" Gu Qingqing glanced at him, and found that he didn't bring any luggage, so he hurriedly let him in. "Why don't you call me ahead of time?"

"I lost my mobile phone." Tang Chun didn't have the self-consciousness that a person who lost his mobile phone should have at all. He should express his frustration and annoyance, but he was completely excited.

"Sister, is there anything to eat, I'm starving to death!"

Fortunately, he is still hungry.Gu Qingqing let him go to the kang to warm up first, then re-lit the stove and cooked some dumplings for him.
