Xie Yunshu likes to celebrate the New Year. In his previous life, he grew up to be in his 30s. On the New Year’s Eve, he stayed with his parents to watch the New Year. All the lights inside and outside the house were turned on, and a pair of big red candles were lit in the main room. The red candle must not go out all night.

A family of three sat on a bed, leaning against a headboard.

His mother would spread out a sheet on the quilt, put sunflower seeds, peanuts, oranges, miscellaneous sugar and other snacks on the sheet, and the whole family would eat snacks and watch the Spring Festival Gala, talking and laughing until twelve o'clock in the morning .

The Spring Festival Gala programs at that time were also very good. There were Song Zuying and Dong Wenhua that my mother liked, Yan Weiwen and Yu Junjian that my father liked, and Zhao Benshan, Feng Gong and Gong Hanlin that their whole family loved to watch.

Xie Yunshu walked back to his room in his slippers in the music of "Unforgettable Tonight", and then his mother would follow, and neatly folded the new clothes he was going to wear the next day on the head of his bed in the order he wore them. Whether it's the year of birth, his mother will buy him red underwear and socks.

Later, Xie Yunshu didn't want to wear long johns when he grew up. His mother didn't agree, and he wasn't allowed to go out if he didn't wear them. He had to put them on first, let his mother touch his legs, and then find a place to take off the red long johns when he went out. Mom fights wits and courage, and never gets tired of it.

So did this New Year's Eve 2003.

Xie Yunshu received a lot of blessing text messages when it was approaching twelve o'clock, all of which were compiled by the communication company. It only takes eight points for PHS to send each other.

Don’t underestimate this communication barrier. Xie Yunshu chatted with Xia Ke two days ago, and Xia Ke told him a sad story. He said that there was a couple in the class next to them. They sent text messages because of the winter vacation. One used a mobile phone and the other used a PHS , both of them thought it was too expensive, so they broke up directly.

Xie Yunshu was deeply heartbroken. Who said that students don't need material things when they fall in love?

All love must be built on an economic basis!

For example, Jiang Xingzhi, the super rich second generation, called Xie Yunshu at twelve o'clock, and asked Xie Yunshu to give the phone to his mother after saying a few Chinese New Year blessings.

Jiang Xiaohua mouthed "Happy New Year, Aunt Lan" and "Aunt Lan is younger and more beautiful this year than last year" on the other end of the microphone, coaxing Zhu Junlan from ear to ear for half an hour.

Xie Yunshu reckoned that he would charge the phone bill for half an hour, and when he came out with Jiang Xingzhi, his mother would be too embarrassed to break Jiang Xiaohua's leg.

After the Spring Festival Gala, Xie Yunshu returned to his room, and Zhu Junlan followed him to put the new clothes on his bedside. Before leaving, she reminded him: "Baby, don't turn off the lights when you sleep tonight."

"Understood." Xie Yunshu sighed with a sore and soft heart.

We must cherish these "years" now. In the future, the taste of the Chinese New Year will become less and less, and more and more people in the circle of friends will show up on squares, temples, and beaches on New Year's Eve. Watching the new year at home, even if there are still people watching the Spring Festival Gala, their greatest enthusiasm comes from grabbing red envelopes and collecting "five blessings".

Thinking of this, Xie Yunshu had to vomit - "Dedication blessing" is so difficult to deal with!

The sound of firecrackers outside the window came and went, and the festive sound would last all night, but Xie Yunshu only closed his eyes for a while, and fell asleep with a smile within a few minutes.

……

On the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Yunshu opened the door of his house, and threw a hanging earthen ring out.

"Crackling!"

There was a loud noise in the corridor, Xie Yunshu closed the door halfway, and let the red whip coat explode into the room. The sulfur smoke was swept by the cold wind and filled the whole room.

Xie Zuwang ran out of the room wearing autumn clothes and long trousers, and shouted: "Zhu Junlan, come and take a look, Xiaoshu is playing 'Good Start'!"

Just after Zhu Junlan finished washing, she came out of the bathroom and kept patting lotion on her face with both hands: "My son is today, of course he should let him go! Xie Zuwang, don't you know how old your son is this year?"

There are many old customs in northern Jiangsu, and each place is different. There is a custom in Beitan Town that you have to listen to firecrackers as soon as the door is opened on the New Year's Day. They are all released by the men in the family, and in some places, even boys who have just turned this year are released, which is considered a coming-of-age ceremony.

Xie Zuwang really forgot that his son is full today, but how could he admit: "Of course I know my son! Look, the lucky money I prepared for my son is [-]!"

As he said that, Xie Zuwang went into the room, took out the red envelopes he had prepared earlier from under the pillow without any guilt, quickly took out two and threw them into the drawer, and then walked out again.

Xie Yunshu greeted his parents with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, son!" Xie Zuwang and Zhu Junlan smiled and gave him a red envelope each.

They eat glutinous rice balls for breakfast, and there are rules for eating glutinous rice balls. You can’t eat a single one, you can’t eat four, and you can’t sit on the table with your face facing north.

Xie Yunshu remembers that when he was a child, he did not believe in evil once, and secretly held a bowl of glutinous rice balls and ate it with his face facing north. As a result, he and his cousins ​​set off a firecracker that day, and there was a firecracker. I don’t know if I have eyes or not. Roaring and rushing towards him.

He covered his ears and turned his back to hide. The firecracker landed on his new cotton-padded jacket, sparks chi-chi, and burned a big hole in his back, completely destroying his new clothes.

At that time, Xie Yunshu could only wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. The child was crying out of breath, and the whole Spring Festival was like a rooster that had been hit by plague.

So, many things passed down from the ancestors are so evil, you can't believe it.

Xie Yunshu sent a text message to Jiang Xingzhi on the way back to his hometown to tell Jiang Xingzhi the rule of "you can't eat glutinous rice balls face to face", and Jiang Xingzhi was still lying in bed at that time.

Jiang Xingzhi only had his grandfather and his mother at home, and he was also dissatisfied, no one got up to play "good start".

Xie Yunshu's heart softened into a puddle of water: [From now on, I will let you play our family's "good start", and I won't argue with you anymore. 】

Xiao Jiang was so happy that he rolled over and over again under the covers.

Although he didn't know much about these old customs, he also knew that in a family of two, it was the old man who made a "good start" and the head of the family.

When entering the village, Xie Zuwang honked the horn of the little BMW. From time to time, someone came out of his yard with a bowl along the way: "Hey, the second child is back!"

"I'm back!" Xie Zuwang stuck his head out of the window, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Come and sit in the afternoon, let's play two rounds?"

"Do!"

Zhu Junlan got a headache from being yelled at by Xie Zuwang: "Would you like to go to the village committee's loudspeaker and let people know that you are back?"

"Di-"

Xie Zuwang honked the horn for a long time: "Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, like walking in brocade clothes at night! I just want everyone in the village to know that I, Xie Zuwang, will bring my wife and children back! Come! Lah!"

……

Xie Yunshu thought that their family had come back early enough, and when he entered the small courtyard of his grandma's house, he saw that the courtyard was so full of people that he almost thought he had entered the entrance of the temple where the market was held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

His eldest aunt and third uncle who only returned home once in a few years, as well as several cousin uncles and aunts who were familiar to him, all gathered together with their families.

The sun was warmly covering the entire courtyard. Grandpa and grandma sat at the door of the main room, dressed brand-new from head to toe, surrounded by a circle of people, standing or sitting, eating melon seeds and chatting.

The adult leads the child to the old man, and the child shouts "Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma", and the old man pats the child's head, and joyfully takes out a red envelope to distribute lucky money.

Xie Zuwang's family became everyone's focus as soon as they got off the car.

The men surrounded Xie Zuwang and his car: "This is a BMW, how much did you pay for it?"

The women surrounded Zhu Junlan: "Junlan, do you own the clothes from your own factory? I also bought the clothes from your store on purpose. Why don't you look bright like you!"

Xie Yunshu made an excuse to go to the toilet, took a bag from the trunk, and went to the hut to take off his long johns.

Xie Zuwang took a piece of Zhonghua and distributed a pack to every man. He gave himself a sleek back hair, wore a suit with vertical stripes, and a black woolen overcoat. That's fine. Fan children, bullish.

As soon as Xie Yunshu came out of the toilet, he heard his sixth uncle say: "Second brother, you are so neatly dressed, you really look like Chow Yun-fat!"

"That's a must!" Xie Zu looked triumphantly, "I'm 'Chow Yun-Fat Seaside Distribution' because of my reputation!"

Everyone in the small courtyard laughed in unison.

Xie Yunshu walked up to Uncle Liu, and took the lighter to light Uncle Liu's cigarette.

When he first arrived in Yangcheng in his previous life, Xie Yunshu was taken care of by his sixth uncle in many ways, and he always carried this love in his heart.

Uncle Liu has been working with the boss named Xu Liang who contracted the project in Yangcheng. He can earn money on the construction site, but it is money earned with his life, which is too hard.

The construction site in Yangcheng is exposed to the scorching sun for eight months a year. Sixth Uncle is one year younger than Xie Zuwang, but he looks more than ten years older than Xie Zuwang.

Fortunately, the sixth uncle will not have to go to Yangcheng after the next year. Xie Zuwang's construction company needs an experienced person like him to lead the team. It is serious to let him manage it. Xie Zuwang even gave him the shares, which are their brothers' own. industry.

Sixth Uncle took out a red envelope, Xie Yunshu pushed it, and Sixth Uncle pushed his knee on his buttocks, staring at him: "Do you want Uncle Six to give it to you? Do you think it's too little?"

Xie Yunshu smiled and put the red envelope into the pocket of the down jacket.

"This is a small book, right? It has grown so big in a blink of an eye!" A heavy hand rested on Xie Yunshu's shoulder. Xie Yunshu turned around, but he didn't recognize this person at first sight.

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly: "I don't know you? I'm your third uncle!"

Xie Yunshu showed a stunned expression: "Third Uncle."

The third son of the Xie family is Xie Zhaoyang, the third uncle of Xie Yunshu’s direct relative, but Xie Yunshu is completely unfamiliar with him. Xie Zhaoyang left the village when he was a teenager and went out on his own. The Xie family has never been able to tell what he was doing outside, but he came back by chance They all looked very glamorous, so everyone in the village thought he was doing well.

It is worth mentioning that this Xie San has a very good appearance. He is seven feet tall, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his lips are as thin as a shave. When he looks directly at people, his eyes are piercing. , Seventy percent, but the eyebrows and eyes are more refined and delicate.

I don't know who brought this up first, and everyone in the yard started joking, saying that they used to be ashamed to say that Xie Zuwang looked like that, how could he give birth to the most beautiful son in ten miles and eight villages, and now I know that the genetic genes are here, Xiaoshu He was carved out of the same mold as his third uncle.

On the contrary, Xie San's own son has slender eyebrows and long eyes, he doesn't look like him at all.

It wasn't until Xie Yunshu heard Xie San and Xie Zuwang chatting in the corner that he realized that his third uncle had partnered with others to open a credit company outside to give small loans to private individuals and small business owners with fixed assets. The way to make money was of course Interest.

Xie San didn't mention the source of funds for the company's operation, but he came back from a long distance to celebrate the New Year, and the hidden meaning of mountains and rivers is still ready to come out.

Xie San brushed off the cigarette ash: "Second brother, after the new year, let's tidy up the parents' house, and the elder brother should not go out. He has been guarding his parents and serving them all these years. You have a share and I have a share. "

There was no discussion in the words, as if he had said it, it had to be decided, but his tone was as smooth as flowing water, and it would not make people uncomfortable.

Xie Yunshu sat next to his grandma, with a plastic tray on his knees, which was full of melon seeds and peanuts, and he peeled the melon seeds one by one, listening to the adults talking.

Xie San spoke quite beautifully.

One is to coax the elderly, there is no elderly who does not like to repair houses.

The second is to take care of Xie Da, because Xie Da had an accident in the fireworks factory before, and he had no money on the surface, so he used Xie Da's credit for being with the old man to offset the money he should pay.

The third is that everyone knows that Xie Er has made a fortune. Even if he pays for the repair of the house alone, Xie San is willing to share the share with him. closer.

Xie Yunshu couldn't help looking up at Xie Zhaoyang a few more times.

His eyes flicked over Xie Zhaoyang's IWC watch on his wrist, the Burberry windbreaker on his body, and the Iron Lion Tony leather shoes on his feet, and then moved to the Chanel leather bag carried by his third aunt. The third aunt noticed his gaze. , Smiled at him, she is a woman married from another place, she doesn't know anyone well, she just stands quietly with her children.

Xie Yunshu waved at Third Uncle's child. At first the child hid behind his mother, but was pushed out by his mother, and hesitantly walked to Xie Yunshu's side.

Xie Yunshu gave all the peeled melon seeds to the child, then lowered his head and continued peeling.

After the accident at the fireworks factory, Xie San called his family 3000 yuan, and then he never cared about it again. However, Xie Yunshu didn't complain about his third uncle at this moment.

The famous brand decorations on Xie San and his wife's body are all high imitation A goods, even if they are A goods, no one except Xie Yunshu can recognize them here.

The quietness of the third aunt, the restraint of the child, and the inner temperament of a person can reflect his situation better than the clothes he wears on the outside.

The suffering of adults outside is only known to those who have passed by.

All kinds of indifference and unfeeling in this world are actually just a disease.

Poor disease.

……

"Xie Zuwang, if your third brother asks you to put money in his credit company, do you agree or not?" At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xie Yunshu followed his parents to grandma's house, and Zhu Junlan asked on the way Xie Zuwang.

"Ah?" Xie Zuwang hadn't thought of this, inexplicably, "He didn't tell me this."

Zhu Junlan shook her head: "You really want others to feed you everything, and you have to pick out your words." Xie San's wife was wooing her intentionally or not, and she could tell at a glance.

Xie Zuwang frowned: "Then what do you say?"

"Your money, ask yourself whether you want to give it or not. I'm reminding you to think about it first. Don't wait for someone to really speak up. You have nothing to do with it."

Xie Zuwang curled his lips slightly: "Little Sanzi has been a jerk since he was a child. He has hardly taken care of the house for so many years. When something happened in the fireworks factory, Dad asked him to think of a way. I don't believe that he even paid tens of thousands of dollars. I can't even take it out, did you see his wife's bag? Those two crossed circle bags cost tens of thousands of each..."

"Third Aunt's bag is fake, and Third Uncle's watch is also fake," Xie Yunshu said, "Third Uncle is not as good as we thought."

Xie Zuwang and Zhu Junlan were silent.

Xie Yunshu said: "In our old Xie family, blood is always thicker than water, and the meat can't be separated from the skin."

After a while, Xie Zuwang put his hands on his hips: "Okay! I will listen to my son!"

……

Wang Yugui and Zhu Junli were waiting under the fence at the gate of the courtyard. Xie Zuwang they walked all the way, and the three of them were carrying big boxes and small boxes of gifts in their hands.

"Zuwang, Erlan, why are you here now?" Wang Yugui yelled away from a distance, "I've already prepared lunch, and I'm just waiting for your family!"

Forehead?Xie Yunshu subconsciously glanced at the chimney on the top of his grandmother's kitchen, it didn't even show any signs of anger, he was a little embarrassed for his grandmother, this kindness was too much.

Before he got close, Wang Yugui had already greeted him, and could not help but put Xie Yunshu in his arms and rubbed him back and forth: "My eldest grandson is back, let grandma take a look, I will say that your mother is only busy with business every day, Make you starve!"

Xie Yunshu couldn't say that he had gained weight, so he could only smile and say, "Grandma, I've grown taller!"

"Tall, it's tall!" Wang Yugui wanted to touch the top of Xie Yunshu's head and had to step on his feet, "It really depends on your father. When your mother and your father got married, I told them that their child must be big!"

In the past, you always said that "father is tall, mother is tall", but my height follows the genes of your royal family!

Xie Yunshu shouted happily while slandering: "Grandma, Happy New Year, I wish you a New Year!"

"Oh, my dear grandson, happy new year!" Wang Yugui stuffed the lucky money that he had prepared long ago into Xie Yunshu's pocket.

Xie Zuwang and Zhu Junlan both shouted, "Mom, happy new year."

Wang Yugui smiled and nodded again and again: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

She wanted to say something to Xie Zuwang, but her mother-in-law had put on a "mother-in-law face" in front of Xie Zuwang for too many years, and she couldn't get close for a while, so she glared at Zhu Junlan feigning anger: "The girls from other families are all coming back on December 29, you It's a good thing, the factory is so busy when I get home on the first day of the Chinese New Year with three invitations."

Zhu Junlan said lightly: "There are too many things at the end of the year, and I really can't get away on December 29."

"How busy can you be?"

"Very busy."

Wang Yugui's encounter with her second daughter was neither salty nor dull, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassing on her face.

Zhu Junli hurriedly said: "We also just arrived, half an hour earlier than you."

Among the four sisters of the Zhu family, only Zhu Junli is the most like a typical rural housewife, hard-working and gentle, not good at words, soft-hearted and timid, obeying the orders of her parents and respecting her husband's words. The son can give orders to her.

Zhu Junlan smiled at her eldest sister, and this smile was much more sincere than when she faced her mother.

Xie Yunshu looked at Wang Yugui's eyes from the side, it was obvious that he was not angry, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

If his mother dared to treat his grandma with this attitude before, his grandma's voice would have been lifted long ago. Now it is different from the past, his father has become rich, and his grandma is also aggrieved.

After all, Xie Yunshu is Xie Zuwang's cub, so I feel a little happy for his father.

A group of people walked into the courtyard, Wang Yugui kept holding Xie Yunshu's hand, and out of nowhere, the old lady suddenly reached out and touched Xie Yunshu's leg.

Xie Yunshu was caught off guard, and could only scream in his heart, "No!"

Wang Yugui seemed to have discovered something terrible. He only heard the roar of the Hedong Lion from the sky above Xingyang Village, soaring into the sky: "Xiaoshu, aren't you wearing long johns? Erlan, how did you become a mother? It's such a cold day If you don't wear long johns for your child, you're going to die!"

Zhu Junlan was so shocked that she almost played a duet with Wang Yugui: "Xiao Shu, where are your long johns? Where did you take them off? Fuck you!"

This evening, Xie Yunshu sent a text message to Jiang Xingzhi, sharing with Jiang Xiaohua the bloody lesson of getting a beating on the butt on the first day of the new year: [There are three unfilial piety, the biggest is not wearing long johns]

No matter how deep the bond between mother and child is, he couldn't resist taking off his long johns secretly.
