small town enyuan

When the relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings came in, Liang Yuan looked up at the watch on the wall, it was 04:30 in the morning.A familiar irritability burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he took a few deep breaths to suppress it.

A group of men entered the door, joking and talking New Year's greetings, and poured into the yard.Cheng Zhien stood aside and looked at Liang Yuan with a cold face. He saw that Liang Yuan was uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to pull Liang Yuan to the side as well.Soon there will be no place to stay in the house.

Grandma Liang greeted her happily at the door. This was the most radiant time of the year for her, and the juniors from more than half of the village came to kowtow to her in New Year greetings.

Men rushed through the door, crowded the main room, knelt down on the ground, and stood up again.After saying hello to Uncle Liang and Uncle Liang, all eyes turned to Liang Yuan and Liang Kai, "I've grown so tall in a year." This was the unanimous praise of everyone.

Liang Yuan forced a smile on his face and greeted everyone.Liang Kai hadn't been in the village since he was a child, he couldn't even recognize these people, his face was stiff.

Cheng Zhien kowtowed melon seeds leisurely, watching Liang Chunhua help Grandma Liang distribute red envelopes.He is not interested in this red envelope at all, usually 5 yuan is stuffed in it, and some people can't even put 5 yuan in it.He pointed to a boy about his age who received a red envelope from the crowd, "Liang Xiaochao, you are too old to receive a red envelope. Come and wish me a New Year, and I will send you a red envelope."

Liang Xiaochao is the grandson of Liang Erbo, the village party secretary, so he is really Cheng Zhien's nephew.

A group of people in the room laughed loudly, and someone lit a cigarette, puffed out the smoke and said, "Xiao Chao, give you a knock for Uncle Doudou."

Liang Xiaochao was also a thick-skinned one, pretending to squat down and hugging Cheng Zhien, "Uncle Doudou Happy Chinese New Year, this red envelope is not small."

Cheng Zhien spat out a melon seed shell, and took out a red envelope, "You are not serious, and you are talking about pulling Cheng Zhijia over, come on, you can give your Uncle Jiajia another New Year greeting, and this red envelope will be yours."

"Fuck you."

The room roared with laughter.

Liang Yuan frowned even more as he smelled the choking smoke.He looked at Cheng Zhien who was laughing in the crowd, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and smoothed his eyebrows.

Among the crowd, Second Uncle Liang was warmly reminiscing about the old days.Liang Yuan looked at the people in the room, feeling a little dazed.It seems that this scene happens every year, and every year there is the same trance.When I was young, my father was still there. During the Chinese New Year, the person who greeted people warmly in the house was my father.In a blink of an eye, many years have passed, and the crowd is still noisy, but the father in the crowd is gone.

Cheng Zhien didn't know what joke he said again, and a group of people roared with laughter.Liang Yuan Piaoyuan's thoughts were pulled back, it seemed that Cheng Zhien was his only connection with this world.

Another group of people laughed from the yard outside the house, and the people in the house moved out to make room for the group behind.Like the tide, rushing in and out.

The two groups of people join together to form a large team and go door to door to pay New Year's greetings.Cheng Zhien also squeezed into the crowd, Liang Yuan and Liang Kai followed Cheng Zhien.At first, Cheng Zhijia was held by Cheng Zhien's hand, worried that it would be dark, and the younger one accidentally fell again.But Cheng Zhijia couldn't bear the loneliness, and four or five children in the team ran to the front of the team, jumping around, throwing a firecracker on the ground from time to time.

A group of men, walking in the dark night, talking in a hurry.Cheng Zhien in the crowd poked Liang Yuan, "You're laughing so fake, eat some candy to find out."

Liang Yuan felt a piece of candy was stuffed into his hand.

Cheng Zhien moved closer again, "Brother Xiaoyuan, do you feel that we have a bit of a battlefield atmosphere now?"

Liang Yuan didn't speak, and looked around. The sound of crackling firecrackers in the distance was like the sound of guns.The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the black crowd seemed to be marching in the cold dark night.

"You guys go first, I'll finish it off!" Cheng Zhien began to stage passionately.Staying at the tail of the team, he even gestured at Liang Yuan, "Brother Xiao Yuan, I will protect you!"

Liang Xiaochao, who came with him, shook Cheng Zhien, "Brother, you can't die!"

"Get lost!" Cheng Zhien kicked Liang Xiaochao, "Who will die when the Chinese New Year is born? I am your uncle, who is your brother?"

Liang Yuan and Liang Kai followed this funny guy like indifferent door gods.

Cheng Zhien looked at the people around and said, "I'll give you a question, a teacher's son never calls this teacher's father, why?"

Liang Xiaochao thought for a long time, "Because this teacher doesn't come home often?"

Cheng Zhien looked at Liang Kai again, Liang Kai simply shook his head.

"Stupid, because that's his mother."

The crowd nearby burst into laughter.

Cheng Zhien jumped a few times, to drive away the numbing chill, and pushed Liang Xiaochao, "Hurry up, Aunt Xiu's house is here, you go ahead, the red envelope will be gone."

Liang Xiaochao squeezed ahead of the crowd and got into the door of a house in front.

Cheng Zhien followed behind without entering the door, seeing the one in front kneeling and kowtowing in the room, he dragged Liang Yuan to squat down at the door. "My pants are going to be dirty." Cheng Zhien muttered in a low voice, turning his head to look at Cheng Zhijia in the room.And followed the people to stand up.

The people in the room were handing out red envelopes, and grabbed Cheng Zhijia who was bouncing around, "Where's your brother? Why didn't you see him?"

Everyone made way for Cheng Zhien to hang out at the door.The people in the room beckoned, "Doudo, come in quickly, I said why didn't I see you, why did I run to the back."

"Happy New Year, Xiugu." Cheng Zhien had no choice but to enter the house.

"This is Xiaoyuan and Xiaokai, isn't it?" Xiu Gu held the arms of the two of them, "It's been a year since we saw each other, and I've grown up just by looking at them. When did you come back?"

Liang Yuan and Liang Kai became the center of attention, quite uncomfortable, and being stuffed with red envelopes, Liang Yuan hurriedly refused with a smile, "Gu, we are all grown up, we can't ask for red envelopes."

"Hold it, hold it, and still study, you will grow up."

"I really can't ask for it." Liang Yuan stood in the crowd, all of them were among the tallest, so he was really ashamed to take the red envelope.

"Take it." Xiugu stuffed the money into Liang Yuan's hand, "If you don't go to school, I'll introduce you to a good-looking partner when you come back."

There was some coldness on Liang Yuan's face.

Cheng Zhien grabbed a few candies from the nearby plate, "Xiu Gu, I wish you a fortune in the New Year, and your business will flourish!"

Xiu Gu laughed like a flower on her face, "You boy, you speak nicely! It's not the same thing every year!"

"That's right, you're rich, can my family buy a few more roast chickens?"

Someone next to him interrupted, "Uncle has made a lot of money this year, hasn't he?"

"I made a little bit, not much," Xiu Gu smiled. "I went out to gamble two days ago, and I almost lost again. I lost 10,000+ in one night."

Anyone with a discerning eye can hear the bragging elements in this, and it doesn't hurt the scenery, "Sister Lili married a rich man in the city, and she must not be short of 10,000+. I will make up for my uncle when I come back."

Liang Kai heard the peasants standing together bragging, and his face became even more impatient.Liang Yuan could see the look on his face, and patted his arm, signaling him to calm down.Although Liang Kai has a gloomy temper, but when he gets along with Liang Yuan these years, he listens to Liang Yuan's words.Stand patiently with your shoulders crossed.

People stood and chatted, after all, they couldn't chat for too long, and went out in groups, heading to the next house.

Cheng Zhien leaned closer to Liang Yuan's ear, "Just listen to what you have to say, don't take it to heart." In the dim light, Cheng Zhien let out a breath of white air.

Liang Yuan looked sideways at Cheng Zhien and nodded.

It was dawn at 8 o'clock, and the team was finally almost scattered. Everyone had finished visiting a village, and the early morning walk in Liangjia Village came to an end on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

A dozen or so young people were talking and laughing, stepping on the floor of broken red firecrackers and walking back.Someone even said that the woman in the shampoo room in the county has a big butt, which means inviting her companions to appreciate it together.Liang Yuan frowned, Liang Kai's disgusted eyes turned to the sky.

On the way home, I happened to pass by Liang Xiaochao's house.The leader is Liang Xiaochao's father.Liang Xiaochao's grandfather is Liang Erbo, the village party secretary. Liang Erbo and Liang Yuan's father are cousins, serious and close relatives.Liang Xiaochao's father stopped, "Xiaoyuan, Doudou is going to sit at home and play mahjong for a while?"

"Let's go!" Cheng Zhien readily agreed, took Cheng Zhijia's hand, and stepped into the door.

Liang Kai originally thought that he would go back, and he would no longer have to wander around this rustic village, and he would no longer have to listen to these vulgar jokes.I didn't expect to play mahjong again.But it's not good for him to leave at this time.

After a morning's journey, Liang Yuan saw a reality clearly. He originally thought he belonged to the city, but what confused him was that he could not integrate into the city, but he discovered that he originally belonged to the countryside, so he came back here after going around.In this gray, winter countryside, childhood memories are revived at this moment.

Liang Yuan pulled Liang Kai's arm and followed a group of people into the door, as if stepping headlong into this gray countryside.

It's the New Year's greetings already, so there's no need to say polite New Year's greetings anymore.Cheng Zhien did his part and took a seat on the mahjong table.When the young people in the village get together, they like to pull in Cheng Zhien, a living treasure, and the atmosphere immediately becomes active.When the mahjong pieces were finished, Cheng Zhien looked up, Liang Yuanduan was sitting upright, chatting with Uncle Liang reluctantly.

After a round of mahjong, Cheng Zhien laughed out loud. "I'm lucky, I can't stop it! Take the money, take the money!"

The people at the table threw him two dollars each.

Cheng Zhien waved his hand to drive away the smoke from smoking in the room.Seeing that Liang Yuan was getting a little impatient, he stood up and pulled an older brother over, "Brother Liang, come and play for a while. I'll talk to Uncle Er."

That one has been waiting for a long time and wants to compete at the table
