i have a mountain

Chapter 136
After playing for a while, the three children were stuffed into the bed by Dongmei one by one, and they all fell asleep after a while. At this time, Yu Fei's mother also came back, and Yu Fei told her to go Go in the direction of the farm.

The lights along the way are brightly lit, and as long as each household is up at this time, they will turn on the electric lights that were hung at the gate yesterday to drive away the darkness.

From time to time on the road, you will meet one or two people, some of them are holding a handful of incense that have already been lit, and they are going to burn incense in the temple at the head of the village, and some of them are together, carrying a basket in their hands. Covered with yellow paper, this is going to the cemetery to pay New Year's greetings to the ancestors.

At this time, when we meet, we will simply greet you with a happy new year, and the older ones will ask you if you got up early at five o'clock, because most of them are busy worshiping gods and paying New Year's greetings to their ancestors, and they only wait for the sky to brighten It's the time to go door to door to pay New Year's greetings.

After turning the corner and stepping on the road leading to the farm, apart from the strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and the constant sound of firecrackers, I didn’t meet anyone. After all, people usually walk on this road Not much, let alone today's Chinese New Year.

When I arrived at the farm, I saw two dogs huddling together and hiding behind two stoves. They must have been frightened by the sound of firecrackers. Yu Fei led them and just opened the door of an empty room when the two dogs swished. He ran in and never showed his head again.

After Yu Fei scolded the stupid dogs, he ignored them, turned around and walked towards the cowshed.

Walking around outside, I saw that old man Zhang had sealed every window tightly. It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time. When he entered the room, the TV was still playing the replay of the Spring Festival Gala, and old man Zhang was already asleep. caught.

Yu Fei didn't bother him, and went to the cowshed to have a look. Every cow was very quiet, and it seemed that they were not frightened by the sound of firecrackers, so he retreated, tucked the quilt for old man Zhang, turned off the TV, and left.

It's going to be bright soon, and I have to go back to prepare for the New Year's greetings.

When I got home, I heard chatter and laughter coming from the house in the yard. When I entered the door, I saw, oh, it was really lively. Many of my peers in the village were there, and Aowei was completely inconspicuous inside.

Mother was busy giving up melon seeds and peanuts to everyone, and Shanfeng gave up cigarettes. The group of people said that they would go to the next house to pay New Year's greetings, so they dispersed in a hurry. I can't stay in each house for long, and I will withdraw after I go to each house to talk about New Year's greetings.

"You guys go out for a walk too." Father came out and said to Shanfeng and the others, "I just went around with your mother."

Given Yu Fei's father's seniority in the village, only the few whom Yu Fei called his grandparents are eligible to accept their New Year greetings, and the old lady, and the rest are at home to accept those younger generation's New Year greetings.

"Okay, let's go now." Shanfeng said and waved to Fei and Aowei, and Dongmei's sister-in-law followed behind.

Everywhere in the village, I saw groups of people coming out to pay New Year's greetings, and there were random meeting crowds everywhere. Even in the homes of elders, I could meet people from the last wave of New Year's greetings who hadn't left yet. The better ones even cracked a joke.

A man named Saizi in the village smiled and joked with Yu Fei's brother: "Shanfeng, I have all the lucky money ready, why haven't you come to my house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Although they are about the same age, Sai Zi is a generation taller than Shan Feng and the others, so he can make jokes like this, but if you really go to his house to pay New Year's greetings, the first thing he will do is to push you away .

There is no rule of paying New Year's greetings to young people, no matter how old you are.

"Okay, you stay at home and wait, we'll go there in a while, and you won't let us worship at that time." Shanfeng said.

Aowei said a few words in Yufei's ear, the latter's eyes lit up immediately, they glanced at each other, and slowly approached Saizi.

Saizi said with a smirk: "When the time comes, I'll move a stool and sit there to watch you kowtow to me. I won't even help you... What are you two doing?"

While Sai Zi was talking, Yu Fei and Ao Wei moved closer to him, each grabbed his arm and went to the nearest family.

"You don't have to wait at home anymore, I will borrow a place for you to pay New Year's greetings now." Aowei said.

Sai Zi's expression changed immediately, he struggled a few times and said quickly, "Don't stop, I'm just kidding, how can I make you really wish New Year."

Many New Year's greetings gathered on the road, all laughing and watching jokes, and even two of Yu Fei's peers rolled up their sleeves and came forward to help.

"Don't, don't, don't." Sai Zi said to the two people who came up again: "People who celebrate the Chinese New Year can't make this joke."

"Didn't you ask me to give you New Year's greetings? Why would you be so cowardly?" Shan Feng fanned the flames from behind: "He also said that the New Year's money is ready."

New Year's money? ? ?
The eyes of a peer named Yong Ya who just came up to help, this is a bonus for playing with the elders!
"No money, really no money, your aunt doesn't even give me pocket money now, where do you think I got the money from?" Sai Zi struggled.

"If you have money, you can search him to find out." Yu Fei said.

"That's right, hold tight, I'll search." Yongya said.

With Yongya's help, Yu Fei hugged Saizi's two arms from behind, Aowei and another person hugged his two legs, and Yongya began to grope around him one by one.

Suddenly the scene evolved into a robbery in progress.

"I said I have no money, why don't you believe me." Said the plug, and shouted to Fei's brother: "Hurry up and call your brothers back, can't I buy you a drink tomorrow?" ?”

Shan Feng responded with a grin: "We'll talk about it after they give you Chinese New Year greetings."

"Didn't you say you don't have any money? What is this?" Yongya said while shaking the few red bills he had just dug out in his hand.

"This is what I won by playing mahjong last night." After Saizi finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd watching the excitement around him indistinctly, feeling guilty at first glance.

His daughter-in-law came out with two long legs, took the money from Yong Ya with a smile, and said: "Go ahead, let's add two to five for the money that will be turned over next, and divide it equally. Come out and I'll buy a box of Yuxi cigarettes for each of you."

Hearing this, Yongya became even more energetic. This was a body search by order, and he was exercising this right from the perspective of justice.

Only Saizi drooped his head, and he was no longer as energetic as before. Yu Fei noticed that his daughter-in-law was staring at him with cold eyes, as if shooting a throwing knife swishingly.

Yu Fei mourned for Saizi for three seconds in his heart, hoping that you can stand up after you go home later.

Yongya took another handful of change from Saizi's pocket, about two or three hundred yuan, and handed it to Saizi's wife.

His daughter-in-law said: "There are not many of these, you can take them all."

Yongya said: "You can't take them all, just as you said, our brothers didn't have to make much effort, just one box of Yuxi per person will do."

After finishing speaking, I counted 88 yuan from it and gave it to Aowei to buy cigarettes, and gave the rest to Saizi's wife.

When playing with the elders in the village, you can ask him to buy you cigarettes and snacks, or you can rob him of his money to buy these things, but absolutely no one will put the robbed money in their pockets.

Sai Zi, who had just been let go, approached his wife and flattered: "The money was originally planned to be handed over to you, but isn't it too late?"

His daughter-in-law put the money into her pocket calmly and gave a nod, she couldn't tell what she was thinking, but Yu Fei guessed that this young uncle would have a hard time after the New Year's greetings were over. .

Aowei quickly bought the cigarettes back and distributed them to several people. After Yu Fei opened them, they scattered in the crowd. Several people joked to Saizi that today the cigarettes Smoking is more fragrant.

……

After this episode, the crowd dispersed and continued to celebrate the New Year. After wandering around the village, all the elders’ homes had arrived. Yu Fei’s ears and hands were full of cigarettes, and his pockets were stuffed with peanuts. Snacks like melon seeds candies.

These are all given by the elders, and you are not happy if you don’t pick him up, and it ended up like this in the end.

When bursts of firecrackers started to sound in the village again, each household began to prepare breakfast. According to the words of those elderly people in the village, the year is far away.

This can be understood as saying that the Nian Beast was scared away and will never come back this year, or it can also be understood as the Chinese New Year festival is over here, and the rest is to visit relatives and visit.

……

Yu Fei returned home with his elder brother and sister-in-law. His parents had already prepared breakfast at home. Yu Fei was sent to set off a plate of firecrackers, and the family began to eat. With the smell of gunpowder smoke and incense in the air, he ate. A big bowl of dumplings.

At this time in previous years, people would joke that he would be like a pig if he ate any more, but this year there is no more...

……

From the noon of the first day of the new year, the curtain of visiting relatives was opened. First, there were a few god-in-laws in the village walking among them. Later, those who drove and rode bikes began to walk to the god-in-law’s house outside the village. There are also some people from other villages who come to the village.

The rule in Yu Fei's hometown is to visit relatives on the first day of the new year, and return to her mother's house on the second day of the new year. Uncles and aunts and uncles are in the second place. Some relatives can even go to the area on the 56th day of the first lunar month.

The two Yu Fei brothers have the same concept, that is, they never recognize their relatives, as the saying goes, they go up to their relatives, and there are many enemies in their hometown. The year before, they were drinking and eating meat together. There may be bad words in the next year.

There is no blood bond, and it is possible to be like a stranger from now on. Even when you meet, you will turn your head as if you didn't see it, but there will always be some discomfort in your heart.

Although Yu Fei also has a god-in-law, since he got married, his god-father and god-mother have bought him bowls and chopsticks, which means that the family is separated. From now on, only those who have weddings and funerals must be present, and those who celebrate New Years and festivals will be there. No need to move around.

It might sound a bit unkind, but here, that's the custom.

Although the family does not have any relatives, other people's families have, and if anyone comes, they will call three or two people who are relatively close to the house to accompany them, but the result is that it is not very good. The men in Yu Fei's family are all Being dragged to accompany him, even Yu Fei didn't jump off, and was dragged home by Yong Ya.

Accompanying is the dialect of Yu Fei's hometown, it means that the host's house is not easy to show up, so they invite a few people over to let the guests have a good drink, which is called accompanying.
