Chapter 324: Diligent?(3/4)
Seeing that her little son, who always had a sly mind, had a wrong attitude, the third aunt advised the third uncle, "Hurry up and give it to them."
The third uncle, the head of the family, glanced at the third aunt, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay, divide."
While talking, he brought over the peanuts in the washbasin and distributed the peanuts to everyone with a spatula.
"One person, one shovel"
As they were dividing the peanuts, several children gathered around, holding them with both hands, but they could see that there were not as many peanuts as there were fingers in their hands.
"Dad, my eldest brother is not at home to celebrate the New Year this year. Shouldn't this be a little extra for us?"
"That's right, give us my eldest brother and sister-in-law's share!"
The third uncle looked at the one who took the lead in making noises.
The second child said with sideways eyes, "Isn't this the right way to divide things? Let's shovel one by one first, and then we can make up for it later."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Yan Jiefang, watched the second child lower his head, and then continued to separate.
When Yan Jiefang saw his third child receiving the peanuts, he started to eat them. He raised his eyes and said, "Hey, hey, don't eat it yet, lest dad get unfair treatment."
"If I am unfair, then there will be no fair people in the world."
The third uncle glanced at the second one with dissatisfaction and continued, "If you keep busy, you won't be able to make up for it."
Yan Jiekuang glanced at his second brother and said, "That's right, we already have the house, but we still need these few peanuts?"
"Hey, third child, what did you say?"
Hearing what the third brother said was inappropriate, Yan Jiefang was about to take action, but the third aunt anxiously lectured, "We're celebrating the New Year, what are you going to do?"
The third uncle saw all this and finished dividing the peanuts with a frown. The unity in the family was gone.
The third uncle's brows were furrowed until morning, and he kept wondering in his heart whether the choice of his pensioner son was the right one.
The third uncle put his hands in his sleeves and felt uncomfortable watching the eldest daughter-in-law working in the back room.
"Old Yan, what are you looking at?"
The second uncle came to the front yard to prepare for a group visit. At this moment, he saw the third uncle standing at the door and looking towards the back room, so he asked.
The third uncle turned around and saw Liu Haizhong, "Hehe" he laughed twice and said, "It's okay, let's just watch the excitement."
"Are you envious?"
The second uncle curled his lips and said, "I saw it, everyone eats dumplings in the morning."
The third uncle took a sip of the pills, shook his head and said, "What am I envious of? It's not like we don't eat dumplings at home."
"hehe"
The second uncle looked at the stubborn Yan Laoer and said with a smile, "If you get along well with your son and daughter-in-law, won't you get a share of these dumplings?"
The third uncle knew that Liu Haizhong was mocking him, and wanted to turn around and say goodbye, but now the second uncle finished talking and went to talk to the first uncle.
Li Xuewu is very pressed for time today. He has to go home to pay New Year greetings in the morning, and also has to go to his godmother’s house to pay New Year greetings. There are many things to do.
So after dinner, I got dressed and asked everyone to come to the front yard for a group visit while I went home to pay New Year greetings.
When I entered the front yard, I saw that most of the children in the yard were wearing new clothes and new shoes, walking around among the crowd, laughing and joking.
There are children whose mothers have good craftsmanship and whose clothes are fashionable and fashionable. They go out of their way to show off to the children in the courtyard. Everyone can see how proud and proud they are.
He bowed his hands to the neighbors who said auspicious words to him and returned to his home.
Everyone at home was already waiting for him. Li Xuewu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady and said auspicious words.
Li Xuewu is the first child in three generations of his family to be separated and live alone, so the old lady is paying special attention to Li Xuewu now.
This can be seen from the red envelope given to Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu knelt down and reached out to receive the red envelope. Before he could hold his hands and exclaim, his daughter took him away.
This little devil now knows what is good and what is bad. He wants something when he sees it in someone else's hands, and if he doesn't give it, he will snatch it away.
I wished New Year to the old lady, and then to my parents. Finally, I wished each other a happy New Year with my elder brother Xuewen, my third brother Xuicai, and my younger sister Li Xue.
Li Shun led Li Xuewu to kneel down and kowtow in front of his family tree. A sacrifice had been prepared for Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu burned three sticks of incense and was taught by Li Shun before completing the ancestor worship ceremony.
It is said to be a ceremony, but in fact it is just a simple rule. After all, there is no succession to the throne, nor is it a big family, so there is not so much to pay attention to.
After eating the dumplings left by his mother, Li Xuewu hugged his daughter and followed his father and mother. The whole family went out. Well... they couldn't walk more than three steps to attend the group visit in the courtyard.
It is really convenient for the Li family to attend a hospital-wide meeting, because it is right in front of their home. In summer, Li Xuecai would sit on the window sill of his home to participate, without having to leave the ground.
Even Li Shu is not satisfied now, it's too perfunctory.
Originally, my father had wrapped me tightly in a quilt, and I was wearing a little tiger hat made by my great-grandmother. The only big eyes that were exposed were full of excitement, and I thought I would go far to play.
Unexpectedly, I took three steps!
Is this going out for fun?
There are so many steps to take before going home to the backyard!
"ah!"
Listening to his daughter's cries of dissatisfaction, Li Xuewu knew that the little devil wanted to join in the crowd, so he carried his daughter and walked inside.
By now, everyone in the courtyard had gathered, and the old man was helping everyone grab the melon seeds and peanuts in the basin. This was a rare benefit in the year.
Several members of the third uncle's family gathered around the basin and stuffed their bags into their pockets.
Li Xuewu held his daughter in his arms and stood in the crowd of people on the opposite side of the room. As soon as he stopped, the daughter in his arms was snatched away by Wen Saner.
"Hey, look at this little face. He's so handsome that he could be my daughter-in-law!"
As he spoke, Wen Saner showed a trafficker's smile and held Li Shu in his arms to show to his wife.
Fei Shanying saw that Wen San'er was holding the child in a wrong posture, so she smiled and took Li Shu from Wen San'er's arms to tease her.
We heard that San'er didn't sleep well last night, which had a lot to do with Fei Shanying.
Before getting married, I didn't even think about it. I just thought that he was a helpless bachelor. Seeing that he was of good character and reliable in words and deeds, he nodded and agreed to the matter.
What Wen San'er told her at the beginning was that he was helpless and living with his useless nephew collecting scraps.
On the day of her wedding, Fei Shanying felt that something was wrong. Why was she still managing this waste recycling station for her man? Besides, his nephew didn't look like a waste.
It wasn't until Wen San'er insisted on taking her here to celebrate the New Year that she saw the secret behind it.
Well, usually everyone is wearing shabby clothes and has a gray face, but on New Year's Day, Fei Shanying was shocked.
All brand-new jackets and brand-new military coats. Who can wear so many new clothes at this time?
Wen San'er avoided her during the day and was too embarrassed to ask in front of many people. After returning to the concierge to rest, Fei Shanying began to take care of Wen San'er.
There is a combination of soft and hard, but Wen San'er can't get hard anyway, so Wen San'er's eyes are still red now.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1966. The second uncle and the third uncle proposed to hold this group worship. I very much agree. Let's form a system and we will hold group worship every year!"
The first uncle took the lead in the contest between the second uncle and the third uncle and made an opening speech.
Because Li Xuewu was in control in the courtyard, and in addition, Xu Damao was kicked away, He Yuzhu was suppressed, Jia Zhang was intimidated, and Tian Wenjing was beaten, there were a lot fewer meetings in the courtyard.
This group visit may have been the idea of the second uncle, who has been feeling quite uncomfortable recently, and the third uncle, who is not vomiting and unhappy.
The first uncle continued, "The second uncle asked me to wish everyone New Year's greetings first, so I will say a few words. I wish everyone in the hospital happiness, health and safety. I wish you all a happy New Year!"
What followed was a roar of applause from everyone, who smashed melon seeds and even held out their hands to applaud.
After the first uncle finished speaking, he invited the second uncle to pay New Year greetings to everyone.
The second uncle actually gave everyone something to write about, including a Spring Festival couplet.
But the first line was okay and got everyone's applause, but the second line was interrupted by Silly Zhu.
The New Year was planned to be lively. Although the second uncle was angry that Silly Zhu was causing trouble, he just laughed and cursed.
The third uncle put on a show, praised the second uncle, mentioned his status as an old master, promoted himself, and made a concluding speech.
"We have always had a good atmosphere in our hospital: diligent and studious, serving the masses, working hard, and honoring parents."
As the third uncle spoke, he glanced at everyone, as if to see who was not in a good mood.
"What I want to say is that we should pay more attention to the construction and maintenance of good culture. Some people who did not do well last year should make self-review speeches and self-criticism here!"
"Of course, we should praise those who have done well, and please come out and give a speech so that everyone can learn from it, right?"
The first uncle nodded and said, "The third uncle's suggestion is a good one. I think you all should maintain the excellent family style of our courtyard."
The second uncle cracked the melon seeds and asked, "Who should come first? How about letting your family come first?"
While talking, the second uncle pointed at Yu Li and said, "Let's start with your boss."
The third uncle frowned and glanced at the second uncle. Wasn't he giving himself eye drops?
But having said that, he also wanted to pull Yu Li out and let everyone criticize her, so that the eldest daughter-in-law would be more filial and careful about her reputation.
It’s true that Yu Li and his wife are so miserable this year. How can they earn money and save a small treasury? How can they separate the family? How can they choose to take care of themselves? How can they smash the windows of their own house?
Even the second uncle in the backyard heard this plan.
