Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 27 It's New Year's Eve

At this time, it is really hard for a man to marry a wife. Zhang Tao is looking at the monkey. That guy called a few companions in the village to carry a pork of more than 200 catties and walked more than ten miles to meet the bride. pain.

Because at this time, many places are muddy roads, there are few cars, and there are no motorcycles. Most of the time, I rely on my legs.And when you go to meet the bride, you have to pick the pigs that have been killed. Although there are a few people who choose differently, it feels like a toothache just thinking about the distance.

And the woman's side will not be easy, their family will invite some people to carry their dowry over, such as wardrobes, sewing machines, bicycles, etc., are all big things to move to her husband's house, although He is a mature man, but it is still hard work for such a long distance.

But at this time, it is also important to pay attention to the richer the dowry, the more face the woman's family will have, so the more they have to move.

Thinking about it, it feels very troublesome. It seems that in the future, the two parties will confirm the relationship and put the money directly at the mother-in-law's house.Then the mother-in-law’s family will add some more for her daughter to bring over, and buy what furniture she wants to use, it’s too hard to move around.

You young people choose what you like, how convenient it is.At that time, the face-saving will also keep pace with the times. It will no longer be based on the amount of furniture, but on the length of the fleet and the number of luxury cars when welcoming the relatives.

After the bride took over, Houzi's house became lively. His group of young friends caught the two of them tossing vigorously. First, a candy was hung between the two newcomers by a rope, so that the two were not allowed to do anything. With ready to bite.

After biting the candy, they then feed each other noodles or something. This way of tossing is not too far behind from the tricky tricks in the future.

Houzi has always been a very courageous person, but he also turned red when he was tossed about by this group of guys. He felt quite embarrassed a lot of the time.Especially with some rouge smeared on his face, it feels very funny, but he can't be angry yet.

On the contrary, his newly married wife took the initiative and made a group of guys laugh strangely in the room.The sisters-in-law and aunts of the whole village all stood outside the door and watched these people toss, and then commented on the bride, and then kept a close eye on those brats who wanted to go in to join in the fun, and didn't let them go in to see things that were not suitable for children.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it will soon be New Year's Eve.At Zhang Tao’s house, the New Year’s reunion dinner is actually eaten at noon on the New Year’s Eve, but they get up very early in the morning, and they are busy with the noon meal together, and they have to prepare for the worship and prayer together in the village.

The meal at noon is very rich, and the whole family will gather together for a reunion dinner.But before eating, every household in the team will prepare three kinds of meat, chicken, fish and pig, gather together to worship the heaven and the earth, pray for the blessing of the ancestors and so on.

Then everyone looked at the sacrificial offerings and commented on which one was the best and the most willing.After the worship is over, each family worships their ancestors by themselves. This is done separately, and the family reunion dinner will be held after all these tasks are over.

Zhang Tao's grandparents will have dinner together at Zhang Tao's house this day. Zhang Tao's family has a good income this year, so this reunion dinner is also very grand. This is not the point. The point is that the dishes on the reunion dinner are all cooked by Zhang Tao. The eight big bowls are not only full of color and aroma, but also taste good. The family members who ate it are all smiling. They even ate a lot more than usual. Zheng Hu and Zhang Tao’s grandfather also drank a lot of wine. Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Tao Grandma also drinks some, most women in southern Shonan can drink.

The wine is still the kind of roasted grain wine, but some medicinal materials are soaked in it, which is used to relieve the wind and keep healthy.Zhang Tao's grandfather also let Zhang Tao and Zhang Yong drink some, it was spicy, and after drinking it in the stomach, the whole stomach felt like it was burning.

Zhang Tao didn't drink baijiu all the time. Once he drank it, his whole body became weak. After taking a sip, he stopped drinking and stuck out his tongue desperately.Several adults looked at Zhang Tao's reaction with vicious humor and smiled, and the atmosphere of the reunion dinner became active.

At night, the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere, but these are not as attractive to children as before. What they look forward to most now is the new clothes they will put on immediately after taking a bath, and the soon-to-be The New Year's money received.

In southern Shonan, the New Year's money is given on the evening of the New Year's Eve. Although the money will be taken back by adults after the Chinese New Year, it is also a very happy thing to be able to keep it on yourself for a few days.

On the night of New Year's Eve, most of the adults in the village would not go out and stayed at home.On the other hand, the children will go to their friends' homes to play, and show off their new clothes and the lucky money they just got.

Zhang Tao didn't have much interest in this set, and he didn't show any special interest in the expectation of the new clothes. He didn't even glance at the lucky money and just put it in his pocket—his lucky money was folded by Zheng Hu himself with red paper. Wrapped in a red envelope.

"Zhang Tao, look, this is the leather jacket my dad brought me from the south."

A child of the same age as Zhang Tao in the village pointed to the clothes on his body and said to Zhang Tao.This kind of clothes is indeed very fashionable in this era, especially the badge with the word Public Security on the shoulder. Although it is not a real police uniform, it is enough for children, and it is very majestic to wear.

Zhang Tao remembers that this is the style of clothes worn by the characters in a TV series, and it will be the most popular style in the next two years.

Zhang Tao also had one in his previous life, but now he has no interest in this kind of clothes. On the contrary, he thinks that this self-made Zhongshan suit-style imitation military uniform on his body is quite good. It has four pockets and holds things. Also many.

And the needlework is also very solid, and it can be worn for a year or two.And that kind of leather jacket is actually made of artificial leather. After wearing it for a while, the leather will crack and fall off piece by piece, which is very ugly.

"My dad also gave me two yuan for the New Year's Eve." Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't take care of his new clothes, the bear boy took out a green two-yuan note from his pocket and took it out to dry, looking very proud .

Zhang Tao rolled his eyes again after seeing this guy. If this wasn't his home, Zhang Tao would probably turn around and stay away from this guy.

"You are only two yuan, and my dad gave us five yuan each." At this time, Zhang Yan on the side ran over, and seeing the brat drying in front of Zhang Tao, she immediately felt wronged for her second brother, and then pretended to be The red envelope of the New Year's money was taken out, and inside was a new old five-yuan bill.

The bear kid on one side immediately fell silent when he saw Zhang Yan's New Year's money. It was incomparable. What he got was five yuan, which was more than twice as much as his own. I'm embarrassed to leave.

Zhang Tao twitched the corner of his mouth. He just looked at his New Year's money, and it was not five yuan, but ten yuan.This surprised Zhang Tao. The ten yuan at this time can almost be regarded as the hundred yuan before his rebirth. He never thought that his parents would give him so much lucky money.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala had already started, and Zhang Tao collected his distracted thoughts and started watching TV.This year's Spring Festival Gala, he doesn't have any memory of his previous life, and he doesn't have any impression if he has watched it, so it's interesting to watch it again.

But Zhang Yong on the other side has no interest. He changes the channel from time to time to see if there is any TV series to watch, but this night he is destined to be disappointed. All the TV stations only have one program, and that is the Spring Festival Gala.

Sitting until twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yong and Zhang Yan had already gone back to their room to sleep. Without a good TV series to watch, Zhang Yong was not attractive at all, so he went to bed so early.

At this time, the continuous sound of firecrackers began to be heard from everywhere around them. It was the people of the nearby village welcoming the God of Wealth in the New Year, which represented the beginning of the new year and the arrival of [-].

Zheng Hu saw that it was twelve o'clock in the evening on the TV, and immediately got up and took out a string of thousands of ringing firecrackers. Their family really invested in the Chinese New Year this year. In previous years, the firecrackers were usually thousands of rings.

Seeing that Zhang Tao hadn't slept yet, Zheng Hu immediately called his son to join him. The two opened the door and set off firecrackers. "In the new year, study progress and get into a good university."

After the firecrackers were set off, Zheng Hu said to Zhang Tao that they were saying these blessings for New Year's greetings. For children, whether they are in elementary school, junior high school or high school, this sentence is universal.

Zhang Tao also said to his father with a smile: "I wish my father a smooth work, good health and all the best in the new year."

This kind of auspicious words for the New Year, Zhang Tao can spit out hundreds of words. No matter who they meet during the New Year's greetings, they just say a bunch of auspicious words first. Good luck.

After setting off the firecrackers, Zhang Tao washed his hands and went back to his room to sleep. He still has to get up early tomorrow morning.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, meat is not allowed in Zhang Tao’s hometown, so they usually eat some glutinous rice cakes fried with vegetable oil and sugar, or just steam the fried sweet potato balls and mix them with sugar. That's enough, and then the whole family goes to the ancestral hall in the village to worship the gods and ancestors, which is a must.

The next thing is to pay New Year's greetings to the villagers, starting with the oldest family.But in Zhang Tao's house, it starts from his grandfather's house. The custom here is that the cubs in the first grade, the boys in the second grade, and the third and fourth grades are all over the street.

Zhang Tao's family is a door-to-door son-in-law, so they can be regarded as cubs, so their family has to go to their grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings, and then follow Zheng Hu to pay New Year's greetings to people in the village after the greetings.

The father and son walked towards the family with the highest seniority in the village, and happened to meet another family in the village who also came here to pay New Year's greetings, so they congratulated each other from a distance.

At this moment, the child from the family who was walking in front accidentally fell and fell to the ground. The child was about to burst into tears after falling.
