Four people came from old and young, carrying a lot of things in big bags. As soon as they entered the house, the middle-aged man knelt down with two and a half-old children and kowtowed to his grandmother and Cao Peiyu to pay New Year's greetings. Although the oldest old man did not kowtow, he bowed to his grandmother to pay New Year's greetings. He was very generous in etiquette.

It is definitely not the first time they have come because they know the Guo family very well and the Guo family is also very enthusiastic about them.

After the guest paid New Year's greetings to the host, Zhien pulled Zhili and Chunyang to bow to the old man and the middle-aged man. The old man happily took out three plates of shiny walnuts from his cotton jacket pocket for Zhien and the other two, explaining: "It's not a valuable thing, it's for the child to play with. I didn't know about the big girl before coming. One of them was for her to make. This year I will give this little girl first and bring something else to the big girl after the New Year next year."

After looking at the pendant carefully, I realized why the old man had to explain so clearly. It turned out that the knot made under the red lanyard on the pendant was in the shape of the zodiac sign. The zodiac sign of Dongyang was different from the zodiac sign on the lanyard. It would be bad if it was not explained clearly.

In addition to the exquisite zodiac sign, this pendant also has a big money with a square hole in the middle. The old man said that the family had no money. When digging the ground in spring, he would use a few big money to give the three children New Year's money.

No one's life is easy, and there is no money on hand. Not to mention that people think about New Year's money, they just don't mention it. It's already great to come all the way to greet New Year's greetings from all over the world.

Grandma said they were too polite, so they should not bring anything to come again, just come here to report their safety.

The middle-aged man said silly: "What can you do! Brother Guo almost lost his life to save these two boys. This is a life-saving kindness. We can't do anything else. Let's come to see the aunt and sister-in-law during the Chinese New Year. If there are still people in our Zhang family, we can't break off the contact."

The middle-aged man said the love is sincere, his eyes are faintly red, and the listeners also have a sore nose.

Grandma probably felt that it was not good to let the children cry together during the Chinese New Year, so she waved her hand and asked the children to go out to play first.

There was no place to play outside, and five and a half children were squatting in a row under the eaves of the house to chat.

The two children of the Zhang family are named Zhang Wenjun and Zhang Wenfu. Zhang Wenjun and Zhien Zhili are the same age as sixteen this year. Zhang Wenfu is one year younger than Chunyang and fourteen this year. Both are black and thin, with squinting faces and eyes. They are obviously brothers.

Zhien and the two brothers in the Zhang family were very happy to talk about, from crops to mountain goods, and from mountain goods to large markets. They could have a very happy chat about ordinary little things.

Chunyang also figured out the relationship between the Zhang family and the Guo family from their conversation.

When Guo Houze was sent to the brigade here, the brigade arranged for him to herd cattle and sheep. One winter, the cattle that he had released himself to eat grass came back one after another. When Guo Houze counted, he found that one was missing. He quickly reported the situation to the brigade and went into the mountain to find it.

He was not entering the mountain behind the Guo family, but a higher and more dangerous deep mountain. If he couldn't get into a beast that could eat people, he wouldn't be able to encounter a beast.

Before meeting a beast, Guo Houze first met the Zhang brothers who were naughty and troubled by his father.

The grandfather and father of the Zhang brothers are both forest rangers in the forest area. The two of them are brave. They run away from home and do not go to crowded places to go to deep mountains and forests. They just go to drill and get lost. Fortunately, they meet Guo Houze, and they will not be able to freeze to death in the mountains.

Guo Houze wanted to send the two brothers home, but he was unlucky and encountered an injured wild boar on the way.

The two brothers of the Zhang family were ignorant of their lives and thought they could collect wild boars. They might have lost their father and grandfather's beaten.

The wild boar was injured and it was also a wild boar. The two brothers who were less than ten years old were not the same. At the critical moment, Guo Houze stood up and climbed up a tree to hide from the wild boar. He held his sickle to fight with the wild boar.

In the end, the wild boar was knocked down by him, and he was also injured. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he did not delay the journey.

When Guo Houze and his two children used mats made of dead branches and grass to pull the wild boar to find the Zhang family, the grandmothers of the Zhang family were almost fainted from crying, and the rest of the Zhang family also scattered out to find people.

The grandfather and father of the Zhang family brothers naturally thanked Guo Houze for their kindness when they came back. They heard that he was here to find Niu without saying a word and mobilized relatives to help him. It was a lot of effort. Niu finally found her, but Guo Houze didn't have to take responsibility and made a good relationship with the Zhang family.

Since then, the Zhang family has been looking for gifts to the Guo family every year during the Chinese New Year, and Guo Houze has never stopped his death.

After talking, somehow the old men talked about the future.

The Zhang brothers asked Zhien what he wanted to do in the future. Guo Zhien said happily that he would herd sheep when he grew up, and sheep were all over the mountains and wild.

His ambition was ruthlessly ridiculed by the two brothers of the Zhang family. Zhang Wenjun told Zhien proudly: "My uncle served in a soldier from a distance. He drove a tank, which was so majestic. He wrote a letter to say that he would go home to visit relatives in the summer. My parents asked us to play with my uncle more. When we are old in a few years, we will join the army like my uncle, and we will be as majestic as him."

Being a soldier is really a good way out. There is such a person in Xishan Village who made contributions when he was in the army. After he was discharged from the army, he was arranged to work in the county town. He served a job with a job. Within two years, he brought all his family to the county town to live. Now, people who know this matter are still envious of it.

Zhien was also envious, but he felt that he had no chance to join the army.

Zhang Wenjun was quite thoughtful, as if he could see Zhien's loss, and patted his shoulder and said, "Zhien, if you want to, we will take you to join the army together. Let's work together in the army."

No one knows what will happen in the future, but it’s so happy to think about it now.

However, this joy did not last long. The Zhang family drove the carriage and walked the path. The road from Dahe to Guo’s family was not easy to walk, so they slinged the horses by the Dahe River and could not be separated for too long. The Zhang family stayed for less than an hour and had to leave without even having enough food.

After seeing off the Zhang family, Cao Peiyu began to sort out the things brought by the Zhang family.

They are all mountain products, hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, etc., which can be used as snacks, and those who know the rituals and music are drooling. In addition, there are hazel mushrooms, frozen mushrooms, monkey heads, small chanterelle mushrooms, and black fungus...

What made the Guo family most happy was that a large piece of frozen meat could be eaten for a long time.

"Dumplings, dumplings..." Zhili said vaguely as he watched the meat drooling.

Cao Peiyu rubbed his hands on Zhili's head and said with a smile: "Okay, eat dumplings, let's eat dumplings too today."

I agreed very well, but I didn't eat this dumpling.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1986, the Guo family was in chaos. Many years afterwards, Chunyang couldn't help but feel sore when he recalled this day.

It's really hard for people to live.
