Chapter 1607 New Year
Cha Hongying told Qiu Ningjing what Ye Yuze meant, but Qiu Ningjing refused directly. It was not because she was afraid of trouble, but because she felt that Lin Wuben would be at a loss when facing such a scene.
Cha Hongying couldn't help but sigh. A woman could even give up a wedding that only once in her life for her man. What else could she say?
So she could only hold a simple ceremony in this small circle, and the food was cooked by Qiu Ningjing herself. This was the simplest wedding Cha Hongying had ever attended.
The New Year has always been the most grand festival for Chinese people. On this day, people who are far away will go home to reunite. Because China has always been a country with a very strong family concept.
Ye Yuze's family, who returned to his hometown, naturally received warm welcome from the villagers. Every household came to invite them to visit their homes.
It’s not because they have money and power to curry favor with each other, but because the changes in the village are mainly because of the Ye family.
The villagers of that era had a simple relationship. They invited Ye Wancheng home. Even if they drank a bowl of water, their wishes would be satisfied.
Ye Wancheng left home at a young age and joined the army at the age of seventeen and left the village. Although he occasionally came back in recent years, those young people could not recognize him.
Sitting together and recalling the days when I was in childhood, I was also very sad.
Mr. Ma is gone. Lao Rou called Ye Yuze at the time. At that time, he was still in Boston. Even if he came back, he would not have time to attend the funeral. So Lao Rou was entrusted to give a gift.
Now the village director is already the old uncle, and he is still a county people's congress representative. However, now he is also planning to give up his position to young people.
The main reason is that the business in Africa is getting bigger and bigger, and the old uncle is ready to settle there. As for the hometown, just leave it to the uncle to take care of it.
The main reason is that the business here has long stabilized and has a mature management team. In fact, there is no need to worry about it anymore?
Now he is mainly worried about his grandmother. His uncle lives so big that he has only been separated from his grandmother for three years in the army, and has been together for the rest of his time.
Although the uncle has never left me, the family is still not so relieved about the aunt due to the lessons of the past.
Ye Wancheng said all the good things and wanted to take my mother to the Military Reclamation City for retirement. However, the old lady refused to leave her hometown, and no one could do anything about this.
In desperation, he had to give her to the care of his uncle and his wife. Ye Yuze had an idea and called his aunt over. Now his aunt has retired and is watching his grandson at home. His cousin failed to get into college and took her father's convoy to transport.
Anyway, they are all goods from meat-related factories, so it is better to let them move to the village so that they can take care of their grandma.
Everyone agreed with Ye Yuze's suggestion, so Ye Yuze called his aunt.
After the aunt arrived, she agreed very happily. Ye Yuze asked her uncle to share some of the shares to her cousin, so that he would feel a sense of belonging when he did it.
In fact, there is no need to divide it. Grandma already has shares, but in fact, grandma has a conscience and leaves it to Ye Feng. After the matter is resolved, everyone will have peace of mind.
In fact, compared with the Chinese New Year today, there is a big difference between the past. In the past, people paid attention to staying up to the New Year, and basically did not sleep on the night of thirty. At three or four in the morning, each household began to pay New Year's greetings again.
In fact, it was the snacks that the children were greedy for each household, and the pocket money they had for eight cents.
Who is still short of that thing now? Snacks have lost their temptation to children, and every household has everything.
Not to mention pocket money, no matter how stingy parents are, they have to put hundreds of dollars in their children’s pockets during the Chinese New Year.
Xuzhuang is now a wealthy village in Zaozhou, but there is no land in the village because the land is occupied by pig farms and supporting enterprises.
Therefore, it is not so much a village, but rather a small town. Nowadays, there are all kinds of shops and restaurants in the village, and there are also vegetable markets.
With neat streets and luxurious residences, the environment is even better than that of Qiu City. It is just a size smaller.
Various reasons are combined, and no one has come to pay New Year's greetings before dawn. Some people are too lazy to sleep until eight o'clock. They are still afraid that some people will come in, otherwise they can sleep until noon.
The so-called New Year atmosphere is a kind of popularity. People of all sizes visit each household before dawn, which makes the elderly feel that they are valued and their relationships are closer.
But now it was before dawn, no one got up, and the dumplings and firecrackers were filled with perfunctory things. It sounded a few times and was just a matter of dealing with the errands.
Ye Yuze could see that his grandmother was a little unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it. As people's living standards improved, what followed was alienation and defense between people.
There is no way to do this. In the past, everyone was just as poor as they were, and there was nothing to be prepared for. The so-called "not closing the door at night and not picking up the leaves" is because there is no one.
Why do you lock the door if you don’t have anything at home? What can you pick up if your pocket is cleaner than your face?
Not to mention, there is really something to pick up. In the past, old men liked to carry a basket, hold a small shovel, and when they saw there were llamas on the ground, they would shovel up and put it into the basket, and then pour it into their own private areas.
Even the old men can rush to pick up feces, what else do you want to pick up?
After all, the Ye family has no shortage of people to greet New Year. After eating dumplings, people have started to greet New Year one after another. Even people have come to greet the city.
Ye Yuze didn't know these people, and they were all cadres promoted later. He used to know those who were promoted or retired. They would not go around with him again.
It was because the old uncle was very familiar with these people, so they all stayed for dinner. Before leaving, each of them gave some gifts brought back from Africa.
Seeing the old uncle sophisticatedly leading people, Ye Yuze couldn't tell what it felt like? China is a society of personal relationships, and many times interpersonal relationships are much more important than your ability.
Grandma's fun lies in spending money. Uncle exchanged her a few dozen new bills for ten yuan early, and she gave her one if she was not married.
If she had beaten to death in the past, she wouldn't have done this, money is life!
This society will naturally lose something if it gets something. Don’t subjectively evaluate good or bad.
The world is constantly improving in this kind of change. From the Stone Age to modernization, who can tell how much it has lost?
Just enjoy what you get, there is no need to restrain others with what you call traditions. I think no one is willing to give up on cars and planes and ride a donkey to Africa, right?
The only regret of Ye Yuze was that he failed to take his grandmother away and let her enjoy the outside world, but for her grandmother, the village was her world.
