Hard times have room

Chapter 726
After the old lady left, Paulin and his family also left, but they have to go again tomorrow. On the first day of the new year, I will bring something to my house to pay homage to. This year's intersection with the old house is almost over.

As for the other festivals such as Lantern Festival, March [-]th, Women's Day, May [-]st, Labor, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day, they don't have to go. Now it's popular to work hard and celebrate festivals. It's really not popular at all.

At least this is the case in the countryside. Many people don't even know when these festivals are, and some even can't remember the festivals clearly. Now they are not the descendants of the calendar.

Now they have not solved the problem of food and clothing in their stomachs, how can they have such a leisurely and leisurely way to go to various festivals.

Oh, yes, there is another Qingming, this is very important, very very important.

It is necessary to discuss the ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival. Everyone contributes money and things together to go to the ancestral grave to worship the ancestors.

Now every year during the Qingming Festival, all the descendants of Wang Laotou's branch and all the descendants of Wang Dashu's branch will have a meeting a few days in advance to agree on a specific day to worship their ancestors.

Tomb-sweeping ancestor worship must be completed before the arrival of the Qingming Festival, three or five days in advance.

The ancestor worship of descendants has not stopped, but in the end, it is very different from before. In the past, it was for the two families to produce food and meat together to eat a delicious meal. Now eating together has stopped. After all, it is a difficult time. .

The larger sacrifices are sacrificed by the same family in the village. They can buy things together, or each family can offer things. It’s almost the same. Anyway, they come in turns. When the family will have a meal together, the food is very simple, and each family can provide a little food and some seasonings.

It may have taken some time. Originally, Wang Jiandang and his family of three planned to leave after dinner, but the sisters of the Li family messed up, and it took some time. It was getting a little dark outside.

It’s winter now, and it gets dark very early. It’s dark at five o’clock, and it’s almost completely dark at six o’clock. However, the old house is not very far from their home. It takes seven or eight minutes to walk home. up.

When she got home, she boiled a pot of hot water and washed briefly. After saying goodnight to her parents, Pauline went back to her room, wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, and slumped to sleep.

After a night without dreams, Pauline woke up early the next morning, but she did not continue to stay in bed as before, staying in bed until she didn't want to.

Today is the first day of the new year and the beginning of the year. Today is not to be lazy. Old people say that if someone is lazy today, that person will be lazy for the next year. If you work hard today, you will get up Early, then this year will continue today's diligence.

As soon as she sat up, the temperature on her body was quickly taken away by the cold wind. After a while, Paulin shivered from the cold.

It was this trembling that completely awakened her still confused consciousness. Now, she finally woke up and put on her clothes immediately.

When Pauline walked out of the door of her room, the door of the house was already open. There was a piece of red paper the size of a slap on the left and right doors of her house. The house, the only red that I can see.

Today is the first day of the new year, and the first thing Pauline does when she wakes up is to visit her parents for New Year's greetings. Obviously, they are not in the main room. In such a cold day, they can only stay in one place, and that is the kitchen.

Pauline pushed the door directly from her parents' room into the kitchen, and sure enough, she saw two people sitting by the fire pit and roasting the fire.

"Parents, Happy New Year, I wish you New Years~" Pauline bowed to her parents and said with a smile.

"Happy New Year." Wang Jiandang responded on the side, but his voice was far less loud than Su Hongying's, and was quickly overshadowed by his wife's voice.

"Happy New Year, this is a red envelope. Today is the beginning of a new year. This year will be better than next year." Su Hongying took out a small red envelope from her pocket while she spoke.

She cut it out of the red paper yesterday. Originally, Pauline wanted to put it all on the door of the house, but she insisted on keeping it because she wanted to give Pauline a red envelope today.

Paulin stretched out two hands and took the red envelope carefully. She touched the red paper outside and could still feel the warmth on it. Obviously, the red envelope was kept in her pocket by her mother until it was given to her.

She didn't open the red envelope in front of her parents right away. Pauline's temperament is still more reserved. She couldn't open the red envelope in front of her parents. The red envelope is also very curious, but can hold back.

Although the red envelope looks small, it contains the deep affection of her parents for her. Paulin cherishes it and puts it in her jacket pocket.

"Come on, today's New Year's Day, our family is extravagant, these fried peanuts are delicious, let's try it." Su Hongying pointed to the peanuts on the low table and let Pauline eat them.

Of course, there are not many peanuts on it, just a dozen or twenty. An adult man can completely hold them in the palm of his hand with one hand.

She has lived with Mrs. Wang for many years, and she has been affected more or less in many aspects. For example, in terms of living, she must have a smooth flow of life. Even if today is the first day of the new year, she can't just leave the house at once. The good things have been eaten, and the day is not like this.

"Okay, I'll try it." Pauline picked up a peanut, put it on her index finger, and pressed her two thumbs to reveal the peanut.

She cherished the peanuts that were still warm to the touch and took out the peanut shells. The red skin on the outside of the peanuts did not fade, so she put them in her mouth and began to chew. The crispy taste of peanuts is really fragrant the more you chew, you can't stop eating it, it's too fragrant.

After Paulin ate five in a row, she barely stopped, picked up all the peanuts on the low table, and divided six between her parents.

"Come on, let's eat together, Liuliu Dashun, it's delicious."

"Don't, before you got up, we both ate a lot as soon as I baked it. This was specially reserved for you." Su Hongying wanted to return the peanuts as she spoke.

Peanuts are eaten, but not as many as she said, only four per person. They feel distressed if they eat too many peanuts.

"I don't, I know you guys. You definitely didn't eat it, or just ate a few."

"I still have it now, you can eat it!" Pauline said, put the peanuts in her pocket, and walked out of the kitchen.

She didn't go anywhere, just behind the house, watching the bamboo rat!
