Chapter 114: What can I say?
During the Spring Festival, customs vary from place to place. For example, the so-called New Year’s Eve dinner in other places is the New Year’s Eve dinner on New Year’s Eve, but the Bazhong is different. The lunch is the meal at noon, and after lunch, it is considered to have passed the old calendar year.
On New Year's Eve, you should go to the grave. Usually, before lunch, you cut a piece of fat meat and bring it to the grave. This is called respecting the ancestors, then burning some paper money and setting off some firecrackers. This is considered worshiping ancestors.
Yang Tianyou didn't plan to stay in Yong'an for long, so he was indeed not ready to cook at home. Even if Niu Wazi didn't invite him, he would go to Niu Wazi's house to celebrate the New Year. Now, Niu Wazi strongly asked him to join the New Year together, so Yang Tianyou was happy and saved the mess of handling New Year's goods.
However, Yang Tianyou got up early and dragged the inside and outside the house twice. It was too neat and there was almost no need to organize it. Yang Tianyou saw that the time was almost over and there was already firecrackers on both sides of the river, so Yang Tianyou went out.
There are only two reasons for setting off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, either to go to the grave to worship ancestors or to have lunch. This is the rule, so you don’t have to think about it, so Yang Tianyou had to hurry up. As soon as he got into the car, Niu Wazi called and thought he was still sleeping, so he urged him to go to worship ancestors quickly and then go to have a meal.
Yang Tianyou drove to the bridgehead of the primary school. As soon as he entered Du Daiping's supermarket, Du Daiping greeted him: "Oh, when will Boss Yang come back?"
He smiled, Yang Tianyou was too lazy to speculate whether the word "boss" contained another meaning, and said loudly: "Buy some straw paper, incense, candles, etc. I want to go to the grave!"
Du Daiping asked Yang Tianyou how much he wanted, but Yang Tianyou only said four words, the more he had the better.
That's good. Du Daiping was really honest and pointed to the direction at the door and let Yang Tianyou take it.
Yang Tianyou was really generous. He held a box of straw paper, took incense wax and a box of firecrackers, loaded the car, paid the bill and left, and the customers who were buying things in the supermarket were secretly shocked.
Usually, when visiting graves, you usually only buy three or five yuan. If you are more generous, you can buy ten yuan paper. Yang Tianyou is better, and you can buy more than 100 yuan paper. It is really exaggerating, and there are also many firecrackers. You usually use at most two seals to visit the graves. He is better, and there are another whole piece, with dozens of seals.
After driving to my mother's grave, Yang Tianyou moved the things down and was immediately stunned.
My mother's grave was actually sorted out, and the weeds were pulled out completely, and it had just been sorted out.
Yang Tianyou was a little puzzled. Who was so kind to help build the grave?
The so-called tomb building is actually to remove the weeds on the tomb, then clean the dam in front of the tomb, and sprinkle some new soil on the tomb. Generally, no one is willing to help others with such things, unless the immediate relatives of the deceased do such things, but Yang Tianyou has no brothers and sisters at all. Who would do such things?
He was a little puzzled, but he was too lazy to think so much. He lit the candle of incense and wax paper, then took out all the firecrackers, opened them and connected them together in front of the grave, lit them, and immediately crackled loudly, which was really deafening, and the momentum was amazing. After the firecrackers were burning, Yang Tianyou's ears were still itchy. After touching his ears, Yang Tianyou squatted in front of the grave, picked up the branches and started to pull out the straw paper that had not been burned, and began to speak.
"My mother, I didn't bring you a knife during the Chinese New Year this year. Nowadays, it's better to eat less meat and eat more green food. Hehe, but I set a lot of firecrackers and gave you so much money. It doesn't matter. If you don't have enough money to spend, I'll give me a dream and I'll burn it for you again. As for the results of this year, there are some twists and turns, but it's okay. Anyway, I'm not lazy. I've tried my best, so you have to bless me and let me have a future in the future and marry the girl from Qi's family back. If it wasn't possible before, it would be fine, but now it's different, do you know? The turtle son wanted to steal a woman from your son, and hey, almost got me into prison. Fortunately, your son is lucky, hey, so I will never let go. He won't let us succeed, and we can't let him live a better life..."
After talking a lot, Yang Tianyou began to kneel down and kowtow. This time he looked much more serious. Then he sat while smoking while waiting for the straw paper to burn out.
When he turned around, Yang Tianyou was a little stunned. Not far away, a young woman was walking towards this side. The woman had a very good figure, wearing a red down jacket and her hair was draped over her shoulders, very straight and black. When she walked to Yang Tianyou's car, the girl seemed to be stunned. When she looked up, she met Yang Tianyou.
Yang Tianyou smiled bitterly in his heart, beating well, it's really a narrow road for enemies. Why did he meet her here? Could it be that she helped build a grave for my mother? Is she here to help burn paper money for our mother?
Sweat, Yang Tianyou suddenly felt a little moved, and was really touched. But just as he was about to say hello, Li Juan suddenly turned around and left without hesitation. Yang Tianyou could see clearly. Li Juan was holding a white plastic bag in her hand, which contained a firecracker and a stack of straw paper. What are you doing when you go to the grave?
Without doing too much stop, Yang Tianyou chased after him. He had just gotten into the car and was on fire. Yang Tianyou turned off the fire again and watched Li Juan's figure go away. Yang Tianyou took a cigarette and took a sip, all the ups and downs.
Yang Tianyou couldn't tell how deep the feelings for Li Juan were. When he was in Bazhong, Yang Tianyou thought of Li Juan more than once, but compared with Qi Mengxiang and Feng Qingqing, he thought of Li Juan was significantly less often. But today he bumped into Li Juan here, which made Yang Tianyou feel particularly moved.
It is estimated that Li Juan had already returned home. Yang Tianyou received a call from Niu Wazi and drove slowly. When he arrived at the bridgehead of the primary school, he found that Li Juan had not left at the other end of the bridgehead. He was holding a bag in his hand, but he glanced at Yang Tianyou and turned his head aside.
Yang Tianyou didn't dare to go over, pretended not to see it, turned the car and headed straight to Niu Wazi's house. However, while driving, Yang Tianyou was a little furious behind him, and he seemed to be able to feel Li Juan's resentful eyes.
He was a little confused. Girls like Li Juan, why should they not find a good husband? Why would they catch him? Are they really lucky to be a woman? Or are they lucky enough to have a strong love for their love?
Niu Wazi was already waiting at the door. When he saw Yang Tianyou, he pulled it directly into the house and complained: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up, it's time to start dinner. We have to go to the New Year early. Look at Yan Ming and others who have finished the New Year. We are still in the old calendar. How unhappy!"
Today is the New Year. Yang Tianyou did not curse Niu Wazi as usual. He just smiled and went to the third floor together. Niu Wazi has been separated now, but on New Year's Eve, it is still the family's reunion, so he is at Niu Wazi's house. As for the evening, most of them are eating at Zhu Wazi's house on the fourth floor.
As soon as Yang Tianyou entered the door, he quickly apologized. It turned out that everyone in the room was waiting for him.
Niu Wazi's parents, grandfather, and Zhuwazi's family had more than ten people sitting around the round table. In the middle of the table was a hot hot pot, with various cold dishes and steamed dishes on all sides. It was definitely much more hearty than the top ten bowls made at the banquet. Wild boar, rabbit meat, dog meat, mutton, pork, chicken, fish, chicken, duck meat, beef, almost everything was all.
This is the custom of Yong'an Town. Lunch on New Year's Eve is the most hearty meal of the year. No matter how much you eat, every delicious food must be served.
Niu Wazi's father Liu Yun was opening wine, but it was not a good wine. He only costs more than 2,000 yuan per piece. There were two bottles on the table. While opening wine, Liu Yun smiled and said, "Come on, Xiao Yang, sit down quickly. Let's not drink too much today. Each person drinks one bottle. What's the matter if it's over after drinking this one, what's going on?"
Yang Tianyou laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, if you want to drink, I can only accompany you. But if you really want one bottle, you are fine with you. I guess Pig Wazi and Niu Wazi won't recognize the east, west, south and north."
Haha, he laughed and started eating. The meal was very lively and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious and cheerful, and it was very festive. However, he didn’t really drink so much wine. After only two bottles of wine, Liu Yun could not hold on himself and was defeated directly. Yang Tianyou was a guest, so he naturally could not yell to drink wine. This wine is not cheap, at least six or seven hundred bottles, which would make people feel bitter.
After dinner, Yang Tianyou took the initiative to get red envelopes for several children, each of which was 500 yuan, which was considered generous.
Then he received a call from Monkey saying that last night, every employee sent two hundred red envelopes. Yang Tianyou said that this is the right thing to do. During the Chinese New Year, red envelopes are necessary. No matter how much money is, it is all about it!
Then, Gou Xinghua called to play cards and called a few people over. So Yang Tianyou, Niu Wazi and Zhuwazi went over together. Xiang Yanming had already arrived first, and there were already people playing at two tables. Gou Xinghua asked the four of them to sit down and play cards, and he was busy serving everyone. He was very enthusiastic about serving tea and water. Because it was the Chinese New Year, each person had a pack of 20 yuan Yuxi cigarettes, and also made snacks such as fruits and melon seeds for everyone. However, the tea money would definitely be reflected in a while. For example, the original one who had to smoke 16 was to smoke 20 yuan, but now it would be to smoke 200 yuan.
The four agreed to fight a bloody battle of 20 yuan. Yang Tianyou was lucky today, but he had never thought about winning money. In addition, he received a large number of text messages in the afternoon, all of which were blessings for the New Year. He was a little absent-minded, so even if he was lucky, he didn't win much money.
Niu Wazi seemed to be so arrogant, and his luck was so good that he won two or three thousand in three hours.
Among the people who sent Yang Tianyou, some of the numbers were a little unfamiliar. Yang Tianyou didn’t know who sent them, but he estimated that most of them had Feng Qingqing’s numbers.
As it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Tianyou's cell phone rang one after another, but Yang Tianyou didn't go to answer the call, and he frowned frequently.
Niu Wazi on the side was a little strange and laughed: "Brother Tian, why don't you answer the phone? Could it be that my sister-in-law called, right?"
"Which sister-in-law?" Zhuwazi smiled.
Niu Wazi curled his lips and said, "Who else will be there? Li Juan, the daughter of the Li Rude family."
"Oh, you mean the school beauty of Yong'an Primary School. Didn't she break up with Yang Tianyou?" Niu Wazi asked curiously.
"Hey hey hey!" Yang Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Don't gossip so well, okay? Who said she called it?"
"Tsk, who isn't she?" Niu Wazi didn't believe it.
Yang Tianyou laughed and said, "I'm so handsome and cool. Women like it everywhere I go. Is this a whole thing?"
"Slutty!" The three card friends stretched out their middle fingers to Yang Tianyou and cursed in unison.
Yang Tianyou rolled his eyes and cursed with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you will lose it!"
"Hey, I'm playing cards!" Yang Tianyou urged the Niu Wai who was sitting in his next house.
Niu Wazi looked at the direction of the door behind Yang Tianyou, swallowed with a strange look on his face.
"Hey, I'm playing cards." Yang Tianyou urged again.
Zhuwazi and Xiang Yanming also looked behind Yang Tianyou together, with a embarrassed smile on their faces.
Yang Tianyou suddenly had a bad premonition, and slowly turned his head, and the smile on his face froze.
"Why are you here?" Yang Tianyou coughed twice and asked with difficulty.
Li Juan was still wearing the red down jacket, but obviously her face was not very good, and she said coldly: "Why don't you answer my phone?"
"That's right, you didn't answer my sister-in-law's phone number, you're too much." Niu Wazi quickly smiled.
Yang Tianyou glared at Niu Wazi fiercely, then smiled bitterly and said to Li Juan: "I don't bring my phone."
"Really?" Li Juan's face did not change at all, and she asked in Yang Tianyou's eyes.
Yang Tianyou felt a little guilty and was about to bite the bullet and say it was true, but the phone in his arms rang out in a bad mood. Yang Tianyou's face suddenly turned red.
"Ah, why did I carry my phone with me? Why don't I know?" Yang Tianyou smiled bitterly, took out his phone and saw that he was not answering the call, and immediately stared at Niu Wazi fiercely. Unfortunately, the latter did a bad thing and hung up the phone long ago, and then he looked like an innocent expression that I was just a passerby. Of course, in Yang Tianyou's eyes, this expression was full of beating.
Li Juan just sneered and said nothing.
Yang Tianyou couldn't sit still and quickly said he wouldn't beat him anymore. Then he pulled Li Juan out and pulled him aside. Yang Tianyou asked, "Hey, what's the matter?"
"You ask me now? You just answered the phone and you know nothing, and you don't have to run so far." Li Juan said angrily.
Yang Tianyou laughed and said, "It's really okay? Then I'll go back."
After saying that, Yang Tianyou turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly Li Juan stopped calling from behind.
"Stop it!"
Yang Tianyou was very obedient, stood up obediently, turned his head, smiled, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"My grandfather knew you were back, so he asked me to call you over for supper." Li Juan said coldly.
Yang Tianyou frowned and said, "How did he know I'm back?"
"How do I know?" Li Juan said with a red face.
Yang Tianyou understood, isn’t this very obvious? Who would tell Li Wanshan besides Li Juan?
What is Li Juan doing? She wants to use her grandfather to do her job? She really cares about me so much?
Yang Tianyou smiled a little smugly, with a little obscene smile: "Okay, just go, get in the car 1"
Li Juan was not polite, so she got into the car directly. When she arrived on the street, Yang Tianyou went to the supermarket to buy milk and a few bottles of good wine, which she treated as a New Year gift, and then went home with Li Juan.
Seeing Yang Tianyou coming, Li Rude did not act too enthusiastically, but he was not cold. However, Li Wanshan was really good to Yang Tianyou. He played chess first, and then pulled Yang Tianyou aside and whispered.
"Do you know, our Juan'er has cried several times after you left." Li Wanshan whispered.
Yang Tianyou was very ashamed and coughed a few times. He chatted with Li Wanshan for a while and it happened to be dinner.
During the meal, Yang Tianyou was also talking nonsense. Fortunately, the people in the Li family seemed not very concerned about him and Li Juan, except for Li Wanshan.
So, the meal was calm and after the meal, Yang Tianyou wanted to wipe his mouth and flash. Li Rude and his wife didn't say anything, but Li Wanshan tried to keep it, but Yang Tianyou dared not stay there.
Li Wanshan had no choice, so he asked Li Juan to take Yang Tianyou downstairs. When he got downstairs, Yang Tianyou drove away, but suddenly he was stopped by Li Juan.
"Do you have nothing to say to me?" Li Juan asked biting her lip.
Yang Tianyou started sweating behind her back, shook her head violently, and drove away.
Just as he drove, Yang Tianyou frowned and smiled bitterly: "What do you want me to say? What can I say?"...
