The leisurely life of rebirth.

On New Year's Day, early in the morning, Fang Monan got up on time, but didn't go out to exercise. She was afraid that she would disappear and scare her mother and the others.

It was still dark, she got dressed, sat on a chair, and began to meditate. She couldn't go out, but she couldn't slack off either.Although the aura outside is thin and almost non-existent, it doesn't prevent her from meditating and exercising. The aura in her body is working, of course, the effect is not as good as in the space.

My mother woke up, touched Fang Monan, but she couldn't touch Fang Monan, and shouted: "Oh! Nannan is gone, get up quickly." Her father, who was sleeping soundly, turned on the light, but his father turned over and fell asleep again caught.

"Mom, I'm here." Fang Monan replied immediately after hearing this.

The mother saw her daughter sitting cross-legged on a chair, fully dressed, "Why do you get up so early, what are you doing?" [

"I get up so early every day to exercise with Grandpa Lin and Auntie Lin." Fang Monan put his legs down and said, blinking his eyes innocently.

"Oh! It's Chinese New Year! Don't rest, don't you feel tired." Mom asked with concern, Fang Monan shook his head, expressing that he was fine.

Mom looked at the watch that it was six o'clock, and she couldn't fall asleep, so she just got up and forgot.Dad heard their movements and was also disturbed, so he simply got up too.Get ready to make water and cook the dumplings.

On the morning of the Spring Festival, the cooked dumplings are arranged, the door is opened, and firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening the firecracker".After the sound of firecrackers, broken red is all over the ground, as bright as clouds and brocades, which is called "full house red".At this time, the streets are full of auspiciousness and joy.

After eating, my mother put on new clothes for Fang Monan and the two sisters, and went out together in the neighbors' homes in the family courtyard. First, I went to pay New Year's greetings, said auspicious words, and said "Happy New Year" .”

An important activity during the Spring Festival is to go to the homes and neighbors of new friends to congratulate the New Year, which was called New Year greetings in the old days.

Samsung is in the south, every family wishes New Year;

The younger generation kowtows, and the older generation gives money.

If you don't want money, just turn your face and leave.

Although there is no money to go to the neighbor's house to pay New Year's greetings, they all give the sisters a handful of melon seeds and candy.They politely said thank you, and the neighbors praised the two of them as cute, sensible, and grown up.

After transferring to the family home, the family of four walked to their grandfather's house on foot. The grandfather's house was a little far away from theirs. They walked for nearly half an hour, and they felt warm all over.

Along the way, a whole family came out to pay New Year's greetings. The older guy, after lighting the firecrackers, threw them at the pretty girl, which scared her so much that she jumped and yelled, while they laughed and laughed.

The whole family avoids them when they see this, for fear of being 'bombed'.

Watching other people's bustle along the way, I soon arrived at my grandfather's house, which was also in a family area, which was larger than their family's courtyard. There were nearly 200 households. His house was also a one-story courtyard house with two and a half rooms.Walking in, the people who came to pay New Year's greetings were just about to leave, and saw their family of four coming in, greeted each other, and walked away with a huff.

When the whole family entered, Fang Monan and Mo Bei said, "Happy New Year, grandpa and grandma." Although they didn't want to say it, but their seniority is there, and etiquette cannot allow them to say that their mother and the two of them have not educated their children well.

"Hey! Xiaonan and Xiaobei, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and the longer they grow, the more they resemble each other. Look! They look like twins." Grandma smiled fakely, but no one cared about it. She knew what she knew, and looked at the two of them. One, dressed so brightly red that it makes me upset just looking at it.

"Tsk tsk... Dayan's clothes are not bad!" She pouted, looking at the coat newly made by her mother.

"Yes! My mother bought it for me. It's a new style." My mother said childishly proudly. This dress was newly painted by Nan Nan. The ivory white cloth is warmer, softer and more beautiful than the previous one. There is also a belt of the same color on the waist, and a bow on the back, which makes the waist look slender and looks more youthful and beautiful.

"Really!" Dayan didn't talk to her like this before, it seems that it's a little different today, people from a small family just can't get on the stage, they really thought they were rich, so they clamored with her instead of being as knowledgeable as her , the old man is still there, it's Chinese New Year, we don't feel uncomfortable. [

Fang Monan seemed to be able to hear her gnashing of teeth, with disdain and contempt shining in her eyes.But her back was facing Grandpa, so Grandpa, without saying anything, smiled and squinted his eyes, looking at their family.

My father and mother sat down, stopped for a while, and said some polite words to the old man, and after asking, I knew that my aunt and uncle had gone out to pay New Year's greetings and hadn't come back yet.Grandma took two new fifty-cent banknotes and slipped one to each of Fang Monan and Mo Bei.

Fang Monan gave it to his mother, and Mobei also gave it to his mother when he saw this. "Dad! I'll take them to the family courtyard." Dad stood up, fearing that there would be trouble again if he didn't agree with each other, so he hurriedly pulled mom and drove the children out.

As a family, after walking around the family courtyard, the father went in to say goodbye to the grandfather, and then went home.If you don't eat here, you won't have to pay for the meal.Dad muttered, holding Fang Monan in his arms, "Let's go, go home and eat delicious food."

The family walked and said that they would be home soon.After lunch, I took them to the park to play around. The trees, flowers and plants were all bare in winter. Fang Monan had to pretend to be happy to see a few skinny monkeys and two hairless peacocks. Hard.When can I grow up!It's okay for her not to be like this.

****************************

After all, I worked hard to survive the first day of the new year.In the early morning of the second day of the new year, Fang Monan's family took the bus and went back to his grandma's house. I believe that going back to his mother's house on the second day of the new year is an old tradition that many people know. Daughters will take their husbands and children back to their natal homes to celebrate the New Year and visit their parents.On the second day of the first lunar month, there is a custom of "picking up a daughter and inviting a son-in-law". This is also the day when children get dressed and follow their parents back to their grandmother's house.

The car was crowded, the air was dirty, and it was difficult to reach grandma's house.After Fang Monan got off the car, he exhaled a foul breath and finally came back to life.

Fang Monan and Mo Bei lay on the warm kang and closed their eyes comfortably.

Grandma saw how sleepy they were, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you rest well at home, so sleepy."

"Hehe...Mom, you also know that you haven't been at home for a long time, so it's a bit cold." Mom said embarrassedly, and yawned.

"Okay, I see, you and Zhengping go to the north room to sleep for a while." Grandma urged the two of them to let them rest for a while.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Fang Monan got up at eleven o'clock and stretched himself. It was really comfortable and full of sleep.She put on her clothes and went out. Grandma was busy making lunch, "I'm back, let me do it!"

"Hey! You go back for two days and we don't eat anything delicious. I really don't know what we can do when you go to school?" Grandma said with emotion. The granddaughter is not at home. fragrant.

"That's not easy, go to the city with us, and I'll take you with me wherever I go." Fang Monan said with a smile. "Besides, grandma can open her business to the city!"

Grandma thought about it, "It's so easy! I can't let go of the roots here." Shaking her head, she was reluctant to leave the house.

Fang Monan knew that she didn't break her mind, and she was still early in school, and she would take her away even if she was stubborn.The county seat is still too small, and there are many things that I can't play. When will I be able to grow up? I don't want to. I still enjoy this rare leisure time now.

Fang Monan said as he flashed into the space, made some delicious food, and came out after a while.

At the dinner table, grandma gave Mo Nan and Mo Bei two New Year's money of 10 yuan each. Of course, at Fang Mo Nan's request, all the banks exchanged it for a red dime.

"Wow! Our mother is really a rich man, with so much money, she has made a fortune." My aunt exaggeratedly exclaimed.Then she whispered in her mother's ear: "Yesterday, on the first day of the new year, my eldest brother brought the children, and my mother gave them five yuan each. I was so angry at that time, hum! Look at our mother's behavior today." , I feel more balanced."

"You! Why care about so much?" Mom nodded her head and said.

The New Year's money given by the grandma in the previous life was given to her by the mother in advance, and then she raised the children, and it was just poured into her hands.In this life, this is real New Year's money given by grandma. Fang Monan kept it carefully and did not give it to his mother. [

Mom smiled when she saw it, and didn't say anything, but glanced at Dad with some meaning, and Dad looked away shyly.

After the meal, Mr. Lin took Fang Monan away and asked her if she was lazy.My mother looked distressed, "I don't let the children rest for the New Year's Eve. I don't know why you are in such a hurry?"

"It's okay anyway, except for eating and sleeping, I want to find some work to do. Hey! I'm born to work, I can't sit down." Grandma said, "Don't be idle, Mr. Lin has all kinds of books, go too Find a book you like to read, and use it as a way to pass the time.”

Dad found two books with interest, and handed one to mom, "Don't be compared by the children. If you are stumped by the children's problems in the future, how embarrassing it will be!"

My mother is right to think about it, anyway, it’s okay, let’s see!

Grandma went out to visit, chatted, and inquired about the market by the way.

Fang Monan came to Mr. Lin's room and was carefully interrogated. He kept nodding his head, expressing that there was no delay, and taught him something new.Mo Bei grabbed the old man and gesticulated to play the violin.

Mr. Lin fulfilled his promise, opened his posture, and played a cheerful world famous song melodiously.After he finished playing one song, Mo Bei felt that it was not enough, so he pestered him to play another one. After playing like this for two hours, the old man's arms and hands were so sore that he couldn't lift it up.

The old man obviously practiced when they were not around. As an outsider, she couldn't hear the interruption, but only felt it was smooth and nice.

The melodious sound of the piano wafted in the yard, and the room was filled with a strong fragrance of books. An afternoon passed quickly.

Seeing Mr. Lin's pain, Fang Monan grabbed his veins, and the aura slowly flowed into his body, flowing along his arms to his shoulders, allowing the aura to nourish the old man's sore muscles. After running for a while, the expression on the old man's face Comfortable and cozy.

"Girl Nan, why is Qigong so powerful, I don't feel any discomfort at all." Mr. Lin raised his arm and patted it.

"It's taught by the gods, unknown." She lied casually.

The old man doesn't mind either, no one has a little secret, it's just that it would be great if he learned it.

Fang Monan saw that his heart was moving, so he taught him a set of Taijiquan mental methods to strengthen his body.Any excessive exercise can also be repaired by self-exercise.

Fang Monan looked at Mo Bei, and said with a serious face: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Mo Bei hid behind the old man in fear, poked his head out, and then retracted. "I was wrong."

Children often admit mistakes quickly, but keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Fang Monan thought about it, since he liked listening to the old man play the piano so much, he simply said: "Grandpa Lin, since Xiaobei likes listening to you play the piano so much, you might as well accept her as your apprentice."

When Fang Mobei heard this, he came out from behind the old man happily, took his hand and nodded happily, "Okay, okay."

Mr. Lin looked at Xiao Douding, thinking that he was about to retire, and he had a lot of time, "Okay, but Xiao Bei! Grandpa is very strict, and playing the violin is also very hard. Can you persevere? If not, even gone."

Fang Mobei blinked his big bright eyes with a determined face, "I want to learn."

"I want to learn, yes, but I don't have a violin for young children!" Mr. Lin muttered to himself.

When Mo Bei heard that he could learn to play the violin, he was happy, but he didn't hear the words behind. Fang Mo Nan heard it and said: "It's easy, I'll figure out a way." Of course, a letter will solve it.

Mr. Lin thought about retiring after this year, so he concentrated on teaching the two children. He lived a relaxed life, and he could bully the children by the way, so he didn't think he was old or disrespectful.

Dad and Mom are very happy that Mr. Lin can teach his two children.The two of them don't know if they don't compare each other. Compared with children of the same age, they are both gratified and proud. They work harder to raise two children.

"Dayan, Zhengping, go and call your mother, I have something to announce." Old Master Lin said.

Dad saw this and went to the house to call grandma.

Seeing that you are all here, Mr. Lin said, "You also know that I am going to retire soon, and I have no relatives. If I want to take over, I want Dayan to take over."

This kind of succession is too common, especially in this season, after some old comrades retire, they do everything possible to send their children to the original unit, eat the national food, and serve the iron rice bowl.Some people have not even reached the retirement age, so they hurriedly applied for early retirement, let their children take over, and hereditary system.

In China, it is originally a society of human relations, with extremely complicated social relations, and many obviously unreasonable phenomena have been repeatedly banned.The main thing is that the leaders in charge, who are not saints, do not have such a high level of consciousness, who do not have relatives and friends, and the relationship between seven aunts and eight aunts, no one can really ignore it.

"How good is this?" Grandma said, she was a little confused. "Outsiders will say sarcastic remarks."

"Big sister, I'm afraid that other people's irresponsible remarks will not work." Mr. Lin glared, "Whoever speaks behind his back, whoever does not speak behind his back, what are you afraid of!"

Grandma thinks about it too, "Starting to set up a stall to sell steamed buns, don't you still listen to gossip? You have already tempered your copper skin and iron bones."

Mr. Lin said: "The Bureau of Culture and Education is just a Qingshui yamen, and the salary is not high. It is better than the collective ownership of Dayan workers. If you go in, you will be a regular worker. It is a serious 'eating imperial food', and this quota is wasted if it is not used."

"Uncle Lin asked me to take over." Mom said in surprise, she didn't expect a pie from the sky. "I am willing. It is better than collective workers." My mother respectfully said, "From now on, Uncle Lin will be my family, and you will be Nannan and Xiaobei's grandpa."

"I thought I had become your family long ago." Mr. Lin joked.

"They said the wrong thing." Grandma said, "otherwise I'd recognize my godfather."

"Hehe...that's a good suggestion." Mr. Lin said with a smile.

"That's a good decision." Grandma said, "Do you have any opinions, Zhengping?"

"I have no objection. It's fine if Dayan comes back. I'm out on the construction site all year round. I don't feel at ease if you are alone at home. I don't have any objection to such a good thing." Dad said.

"Wow... That's great, I can see my mother every day from now on." Fang Monan said bouncing up and down.

"That's right! As for the formalities, I'll help you." Mr. Lin said.

Dinner is millet porridge with pickled cucumbers. After eating big fish and meat for a few days, some porridge and side dishes are more delicious. They all ate a lot to cleanse their stomachs.

Afterwards, grandma specially held a banquet solemnly, and mom and dad officially recognized godfather.

On the third day of junior high school, Liang Zi came here to pay New Year greetings to his grandma, saying auspicious greetings for the New Year.

Fang Monan couldn't help but pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Liang and Liang Zi. "Happy New Year to Grandma Liang and Brother Liang Zi. Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes." She said playfully again.

Liang Zi laughed jokingly and said, "Happy New Year, too, Nan Nan, use this money to buy candy." And he deliberately took out five yuan.

Fang Monan did not show weakness, stepped on him hard, and did not forget to take the five yuan, her advantage was not taken for nothing.

In the next few days, grandma kept receiving relatives who came from the countryside, one after another, and when they came, they brought some home-grown mountain products, and when they returned, they ate and returned with a full load.
