The news of Liu Yihua's return home in fine clothes shocked Liu Yihua's hometown at once. All the villagers, young and old, went to Liu Yihua to see his "daughter-in-law" at home. This is the custom in the countryside. No matter which family has a new daughter-in-law, everyone will go back and have a look curiously, not to mention how Liu Yihua brought back so many beautiful and beautiful girlfriends now!
According to the rural tradition, Liu Yihua led his girlfriends to pay New Year greetings to the elders in the village one by one.
After a busy morning, Liu Yihua's vigorous New Year's greetings finally came to an end. When he got home, Liu Yihua yelled that he was hungry, so he quickly ordered dumplings to eat.
Liu Yihua's mother had already boiled water for preparation, and immediately started serving dumplings when Liu Yihua cried out that she was hungry.
"I'm eating dumplings. These are dumplings made by my mother, and there are secrets in the Chinese New Year dumplings." Liu Yihua said happily, holding a few plates of dumplings.
When Liu Yihua said that there were secrets in the dumplings, the girls widened their eyes, not knowing what secrets were inside.
Xiao Ruoshui finally couldn't bear it and said: "Brother, what's the secret in the dumplings? Isn't it just meat?"
Liu Yihua shook his head and said, "Meat? Do you still dare to eat meat these days? Didn't you watch the TV that said there was clenbuterol?"
"What is clenbuterol?" Xiao Ruoshui asked strangely.
"Well, people who eat meat containing clenbuterol will become bone spirits! Does bone spirit know?" Liu Yihua barked his teeth and claws.
Xiao Ruoshui trembled and said, "Huh? Bone Essence? Then I won't eat dumplings... Well, I will eat steamed buns!" After speaking, Xiao Ruoshui reached out and took a big steamed bun.
"Don't move! You can't eat steamed buns either!" Liu Yihua said seriously.
Xiao Ruoshui blinked his big eyes and said, "Why?"
Liu Yihua pointed to a red spot on the top of the steamed bun and said, "This is a 'dyed' steamed bun! It is poisonous and cannot be eaten."
"Ah..." Xiaoruo sailor let go, and the steamed bun fell on the table.
"Hehe, I eat duck eggs! That one has an egg shell, so it's not afraid of being dyed!" Xiao Ruoshui triumphantly picked up a salted duck egg!
Liu Yihua snatched it over and said, "Honey, this is even more inedible! There is Sudan red in it, which is very poisonous!"
Xiao Ruoshui curled her lips and said: "Brother is lying! Everything is poisonous, so how can we live? Hehe, I drink milk powder! I didn't have a chance to drink it when I was young, but now I finally have a chance!" Xiao Ruoshui got up and went to get milk "pink.
"Stop! Good sister, there's melamine in it! If you eat it, you'll turn into a big-headed doll, an idiot doll... Anyway, your star dream will fly away!" Liu Yihua snatched the milk powder from Xiao Ruoshui's hand.
"Wow..." Xiao Ruoshui cried! She turned to Liu Yihua's mother and said, "Mom, brother bullied me and wouldn't let me eat!"
Just now Liu Yihua teased Xiao Ruoshui and everyone couldn't help laughing. At this time, Liu Yihua's mother laughed and scolded: "Xiaohua, what are you doing? Don't scare the children. Ruoshui, the pork in this dumpling is raised by the villagers in the village. Where is there any white bone essence? This steamed bun is a bit red, this It was dyed a little during the Chinese New Year, and it was used for worshiping the gods. This kind of "color" is not poisonous. There are no chemicals in this salted duck egg, so don't worry. Come, everyone, eat quickly!"
Only then did Xiao Ruoshui smile, pick up the chopsticks and gobble it up! Suddenly her eyes widened, she was stunned for a while, and then said vaguely: "Brother, is there a hidden weapon in it? Ah, is it really poisonous?"
At this moment, with a few clicks, Liu Yifei and Zhou Huijie also opened their eyes wide.
Liu Yihua's mother asked strangely: "What's wrong? Are the dumplings not delicious?"
Xiao Ruoshui, Liu Yifei, and Zhou Huijie all shook their heads, and Cai Suyan and Li Shanshan beside them didn't dare to eat, not knowing what happened.
Liu Yihua smirked and said, "If it's delicious, eat more! Eat it quickly."
Liu Yihua's mother smiled and said: "Yihua, don't be joking. You can spit out the coins in your mouth. A little money is put in the Chinese New Year dumplings for good luck. I wrapped a total of 8 coins for the Chinese New Year, and we ate 2 by ourselves. 1, and there are 6 left, you won’t eat 3 at once, right?”
Only when Liu Yihua's mother said this did the girls understand what Liu Yihua meant when he said that there were secrets in the dumplings.
"Hurry up and spit it out, are you embarrassed? Are you going to swallow the coins?" Liu Yihua smiled openly.
Xiao Ruoshui, Liu Yifei, and Zhou Huijie quickly took out the coins from their mouths and put them on the table. But Xiao Ruoshui and Liu Yifei ate coins, while Zhou Huijie ate a red date and a small chestnut! Zhou Huijie looked at
Liu's mother said happily: "If you eat money, you will get rich this year! Hehe, Xiaojie eats red dates and chestnuts, which means that he will have a son sooner."
Xiao Ruoshui and Liu Yifei were very happy to hear that they had made money. Zhou Huijie was very shy. Have a baby early? How can this be? How talented is Yi Hua
Liu Yihua rescued and said: "Okay, this means a good omen. Xiao Ruoshui is a child and Yifei is a soldier. What kind of money do they make? Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan are the ones who want to make money. As for having a baby early, it is even more unreliable. Huijie is in Hong Kong. I haven't returned yet, where will I have my baby? Where will I raise it? Mom, you will have a grandson in your arms sooner or later, so don't worry about it now."
Liu Yihua's mother hummed: "What do you know at such a young age? What's unreliable? Wouldn't it be good to let Xiaojie live in the capital for a year and have a baby? Isn't it Xiaojie?"
Zhou Huijie was ashamed, and coyly said: "This... I will listen to Auntie." Zhou Huijie was blushing now. She really wanted to give birth to a child for Liu Yihua earlier. With a child by her side, she would feel that Yihua was very close to her.
Mother Liu said happily: "Okay, it's still Xiaojie, Xiaohua is unreliable."
"I don't care if you want to give birth to yourself. How old am I? It's time to eat." Liu Yihua quickly changed the subject. Having a baby requires a long-term plan. How could it be possible to have a child with a slap in the face
Mother Liu stared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How would you live without you, Xiaojie? Well, let's talk about this later."
After such a fuss, Zhou Huijie blushed to death. Liu Yihua comforted: "Hui Jie, after thinking about it now, you may really be responsible for the first child. Li Shanshan is in the United States and Singapore is too far away. Both Cai Suyan and Liu Yifei are people with work units, so it is impossible to be too far away. Have a baby early. This analysis is none other than you."
All the women said that Liu Yihua's analysis made sense, and hoped that Liu Yihua and Zhou Huijie would really have a son soon. The meal was perfect, warm and successful!
After the meal, the girls are rushing to do the washing up again! Some people saw that there was no number in the dishwashing line, so they picked up the broom and swept the floor. When Liu Yihua came back from the kitchen, he saw Xiaoyan and Shanshan sweeping the floor, while their parents watched helplessly, unable to say anything.
Liu Yihua stepped forward and said with a smile: "Stop! Don't sweep it yet! Our rule here is to sweep the floor after sending away the 'God' on the second day of the Lunar New Year! Do you want to sweep the floor to send the 'God' away now?"
ah? Xiaoyan and the others were embarrassed and panicked, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Liu Yihua's mother said: "Okay, it's okay! I'm not so superstitious now."
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Okay, on the first day of the new year, we will pay New Year's greetings. According to the rules of our hometown, we will kowtow to pay New Year's greetings. Let's come here and kowtow."
However, the girls gave way again when it came to the order of kowtowing. According to the logic, who is the boss should kowtow first, right
Finally, Liu Yihua said: "Okay! I'm not the emperor! It's not the old society now, so let's go together!"
But then there is the problem of naming. what is it call? Uncle and aunt? This is a little deception, right? They all followed Liu Yihua home for the New Year. According to the rural rules, they should change their mouths to this extent.
Liu Yihua said cheekily: "Just take one step and call Mom and Dad." Liu Yihua's parents laughed and said yes repeatedly.
So all the girls blushed and knelt down in unison, and said in unison: "Happy New Year, Dad and Mom! I kowtow to you, and I wish you a happy New Year!"
Liu's father and Liu's mother laughed from ear to ear, and were busy distributing lucky money to everyone. The money is not much, but the significance is extraordinary. Just now all the girls changed their mouths in unison, which is of great significance. This symbolizes that Liu Yihua has really won several girlfriends!
All the girls were very excited after receiving the New Year's money from their "father-in-law and mother-in-law"! Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan held on to several hundred lucky money and said excitedly: "Yihua, this money is so meaningful! I will never be willing to spend it, and I will cherish it forever!"
Liu Yihua laughed and said: "Hehe, you are all rich, so you are not short of money, right? But it was really memorable before, come on, I will give you a pencil to mark on the lucky money, isn't that all right?"
On the first day of the new year, time passed quietly in the festive atmosphere of the Liu family, and it was getting dark!
What are you doing when it's dark? In the past, it was dark in the countryside, and there was a lack of entertainment programs... What else can I do
But making humans need to sleep, right? That's the problem—so many people came all at once...how to sleep
Liu's father and Liu's mother are also quite embarrassed. They can't let their daughter-in-law go out and spend the night at other people's homes, right? Aunt Liu Yihua is from this village, how many people can live in her family? However, which daughter-in-law should go? It's not good for anyone to go, right? Wouldn't that be the difference between size and closeness
How about going to the county seat to stay in a hotel? How much trouble is that? And the big Chinese New Year is to have a family reunion! If you go out and live somewhere else, it won’t be like the New Year!
At the critical moment, Liu Yihua said: "Well, the Westinghouse Kang is relatively big, so we just stay together and squeeze together."
Hearing what Liu Yihua said, Liu Yihua's parents left quickly. If the son and daughter-in-law sleep together, what else do they have to worry about
Seeing his parents leave, Liu Yi Huaxing said: "Ladies, let's sleep too? A moment is worth a thousand dollars."
Xiaoyan blushed, looked at Xiao Ruoshuihao and Liu Yihua's sister, and said, "What are you talking about, there are underage children around me! Also, how are we going to sleep tonight? There are so many people?" Xiaoyan said The question was exactly what the girls wanted to know, so they all looked at Liu Yihua and waited for him to arrange.
Liu Yihua waved his hand and said, "It's cold, let's go into the room first. In this way, I will sleep alone in the bed in the middle room, and you will sleep together on the kang in the west room. What do you think?"
ah? The girls were speechless for a while, maybe this is not what they want, right
Liu Yihua smirked: "Why? Don't you want it? How about I sleep in bed with Xiao Ruoshui? How many of you sleep on the Westinghouse Kang?"
The girls remained silent.
"Well, I'm going to light the kang! The electric blanket can only sleep 2 people at a time." After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he opened the door and went out to pick up some firewood and came back to start the fire.
Of course, there was no heating in the countryside at that time, and all heating in winter was by burning firewood. People near the woods can burn some twigs or something. The ones without forests are the stalks of crops.
Liu Yihua liked to light fire since he was a child. It is said to have started at the age of 7. Why is it said? Because Liu Yihua himself didn't know, it was Liu Yihua's mother who said it.
The fire of corn stalks was very strong, and Liu Yihua's face was flushed, and he squinted his eyes and turned his head sideways.
Xiao Ruoshui said excitedly: "Brother, I will do this. Sometimes we have to light a fire to keep warm. Otherwise, we will freeze to death. That old grandpa and I learned it when we were wandering. Brother, let me help you light the fire."
Liu Yihua felt distressed for a while and said: "Okay, let me come. Don't talk about the past when it's Chinese New Year."
Xiao Ruoshui still didn't leave, and all the girls imitated Xiao Ruoshui to hold the corn stalks for Liu Yihua, and Liu Yihua took the corn stalks from the girls' hands with a smile. This was really a transmission of warmth and enthusiasm.
After burning the corn stalks for a while, Liu Yihua went out again to get some corn cobs, and then Liu Yihua sat on a small bench and pulled the bellows with his left hand, and kept throwing the corn cobs into the stove with his right hand. Corn cobs are stronger and have longer firepower.
It was the first time for the girls to see a bellows burning a fire. They had seen it in movies and TV before, so they all found it very interesting and novel.
After burning for a while, Liu Yihua touched the kang and said with a smile, "Okay! It will get hotter and hotter, hurry up and sleep on the kang."
Zhou Huijie looked at the kang and murmured: "This... can we sleep away? I have never slept on a kang, so I don't know what it feels like." Zhou Huijie took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang after speaking shyly, saying: " Oh, it's really warm. It's freezing outside, but the small kang and the simple pots and stoves inside the house can create such a happy and warm home... It's really a miracle!"
Liu Yihua climbed up and said: "It's too crowded, otherwise I won't be able to sleep. I also call out in the middle of the night when I want to turn over. 1, 2, 3... turn left, 5, 6, 7... turn right."
The girls fainted. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated
Liu Yihua said in a deep voice: "This is not a joke. Many people in the countryside are like this. Some families of seven or eight are on a small heated kang. There is no way to turn over. We can only turn over together. Hey, our country This is the standard of living in China. Although we felt very warm lying on the kang at this time, the kang was cold after sleeping until midnight and the temperature outside was very low, so many rural people woke up from the cold before dawn. Hey , bitter."
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he shook his head sadly.
Cai Suyan said if she lost something: "Brother, have you ever thought about becoming an official in your hometown in the future? Change the situation of poverty and backwardness in your hometown? Then the more official you are, the more people's fate can be changed... I think from this From the point of view, the elder brother is still unscrupulous? The higher the official position, the greater the power, the greater the ability, and the greater the destiny of the people can be changed.”
Cai Suyan's words made Liu Yihua stunned, and then said: "This... But what use is my ability alone? We don't have to change a country as big as ours. Well, but why? In this way, I will change all my thoughts and speed up the pace of some promotions."
"Yihua, lie down quickly. It's warm inside the bed, but it's cold outside." Li Shanshan pulled Liu Yihua and said distressedly.
Agitated, Liu Yihua shrank back under the blanket and hugged Li Shanshan, saying, "Shanshan, you are going to the United States again after a while, and I really miss you. Come on, let's warm up tonight."
And just like that, it was dawn. Everyone fell into a drowsy sleep for a while, then got up, washed and dressed to go to grandma Liu Yihua's house.
The second day of the first lunar month is a special day in Liu Yihua's hometown. It basically belongs to the day when the daughter returns to her natal home. Of course, if the daughter wants to go back to her natal family, can the son-in-law not go back? Both the daughter and son-in-law have gone back, so the seeds of the two of them... oh, can the child not go back
Therefore, every second day of the first lunar month, there will be rows of troops dragging their children and daughters back to their natal homes to visit relatives on the country roads in Liu Yihua's hometown.
Liu Yihua's mother was in a hurry, so she urged Liu Yihua to hurry up early in the morning. At this time, the extended Mercedes-Benz bought by Zhou Huijie worked, and the whole family could be carried in one car.
Liu Yihua drove slowly on the snow, and suddenly said: "Well, why did the car in front hit someone? This license plate is very powerful? Go down and have a look."
