There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 402: New Year Gathering

Dumplings on the first grade, noodles on the second grade.

I have eaten the dumplings, and the noodles for the second grade are taken out of a small bowl from Zhang Guoqing's hand.

The thin noodles made Zhang Guoqing couldn't help but glance at everyone.

The taciturn uncle, the gentle and cheerful little uncle, the two smiling uncles, a room of kind cousins.This is his outside family and his relatives.

They entertained the old Zhang's family with the best food and warmed the room with simple and simple words.

Zhang's family, especially Zhang's father, he knows the behavior of his family.

He smiled and let the children eat quickly.This time every year, he has learned to accept it calmly, not as uneasy as the next generation.Eating the noodles in the bowl, he recalled the old man.

Zhang Dad is not the only one who is in the memory, but Zhou Jiao is the one who has the deepest feeling.

With the help of the family in front of him, the Lin family became even worse.After all, there is nothing to do with moral education and status knowledge. The most simple and sincere people are the people who step on the ground.

Determined to return to the worship date, the Zhang family dropped their gifts and hurried home as if running away for their lives.Halfway through, the two uncles were never seen again. The family looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

It's really rare that Zhang's family is so embarrassed by giving gifts.

On the first day of the first grade, worship the ancestors, the second grade of the second grade, worship the uncle, the third grade of the "sweeping poor ghosts", and the fourth graders marry a daughter to go to her family.

Every fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the three rooms of the old Zhang family get together, and this day is also the day when Zhang’s daughter returns to her natal family.This rule has become the tradition of the old Zhang family since Grandpa Zhang was alive.

The daughter-in-laws of the old Zhang family want to go back to their parents' home, and it will be the sixth day at the earliest.According to Zhang's mother, the old man once said in his lifetime that no matter what happened on the fourth day of the lunar new year, he had to stop and attend the family gathering.

Therefore, everyone rushed to Uncle Zhang's house on the fourth day.Fortunately, the yard of the boss Zhang Qingshan's house is large. Before noon, the main room and the east-west wing were full of people.

In previous years, how hard the days were. This day was the family gathering of the old Zhang family. The ability to combine three rooms can also make up a few tables of wine and food. Especially when Grandpa Zhang was alive, there was no staple food on the table. There is no shortage of venison, stewed boar.But now Uncle Zhang can only smile wryly.

He is the deputy captain, and is the first to lead by example.If the old Zhang family all went to the canteen, it is estimated that the rest of the team will be cleared.

What if outsiders say the old Zhang's son is good?Zhang Qingshan, the eldest son, led the younger brothers to act separately.In a short while, several companies gathered game, dried vegetables and other foods and started cooking in the pot.

An ingenious family gathering was perfectly improved by the young generations of the old Zhang family.In the yard, two large stoves were clanging, and everyone who was scented by the fragrance swallowed their saliva.

Early in the morning, Zhang Meili’s four cousins ​​accompanied her husband with a bag of candies, and the children returned to their parents’ home one after another.

Today, the four aunts have the ambition to bring sorghum, which made the Zhang family man laugh with joy.The candies brought by the four sisters of Zhang Meili were also distributed to the elders and neighbors in the clan by the three wives of Zhang's mother.The children happily got the lucky money and started playing with firecrackers everywhere.

Until the sun went three poles, the old Zhang family finally looked forward to the arrival of the old Zhang's grandmother Zhang Dani and Liu Dazhuang's couple with their two grandsons.

Four tables were placed in the main room, and as the stew was put on the table, there was a burst of firecrackers inside.Everyone didn't need to say hello. As soon as the men took their seats, the women and children began to find places to sit down and wait for Uncle Zhang to speak.

Sitting on the table in front of the hall in front of the hall were the three brothers of Zhang, the old uncle Liu Dazhuang, four uncles, and Zhang Qingshan, the grandson of old Zhang's parents who was in charge of pouring wine.

The eldest son and grandson are in a special position in the old Zhang family, the old third room.For example, Zhang Father and Zhang Xiaoshu never have the opportunity to speak first.For example, no matter how better Zhang Guoqing is than Zhang Qingshan, he has no right to pass the eldest grandson and be the first to worship the ancestor instead of the grandson.Father and son, Zhang Qingshan is the unashamed boss in the old Zhang family.

As Uncle Zhang picked up the chopsticks and said "start", there was a rapid sound of clashing with the tableware.The adults looked over and smiled knowingly.

Zhang Guoqing’s generation of young brothers has enough brothers,

Uncle Zhang saw a group of radishes stop uneasy, and quickly smiled: "Eat if you want, and go out to play if you eat."

The children looked at the faces of their parents and stood up happily to pick up vegetables.

From this moment, it is easy to see the character of the children and the education of the parents to the children.

Xizi and Ziwen took good care of their younger siblings in a lively occasion where a bunch of children pushed me to rush, showing their brother-like demeanor.The younger siblings below are also very regular not to participate in the rush, sitting quietly in the position and eating the food caught in the front.

Uncle Zhang glanced enviously, but he didn't want to blame his grandchildren.He is very aware of different family backgrounds and different educations for children.

Many people have paid attention to this scene, and each mind and thinking must be different.But in the New Year, no one can bear to say a few words about the child.

The children were happy, and the adults were happy too, and soon moved to home cooking.The honest and loyal Liu Dazhuang, the old aunt, received a warm reception from a dozen nephews, nieces and son-in-laws, and finally fell overwhelmed with alcohol.

Halfway through the wine tour, the children ate and drank, and started to grab the New Year's Eve and ran out.

Ping An couldn't control it anymore in Zhang Guoqing's arms, grabbed his dad's arm, smiled flatteringly, and pointed to the group of brothers and sisters who had left.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Guoqing hugged his son, slipped out of the yard, and called a group of children to go home.He bought a lot of firecrackers and fireworks, just to take his son to play with.Now I have seized the opportunity.

An older child is holding a milk doll and is playing with firecrackers with a group of children.This kind of grand occasion has brought the children from the village.It finally ended when the older child accidentally blasted his wooden barrel with Erlang's legs.

After the family banquet, it was broken five.

In the early morning of the fifth morning, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao began to clean up the garbage, set on firecrackers, and finished eating "broken" dumplings.Starting from this day, Zhou Jiao doesn't have to worry about New Year's taboos.

The frequent visits of guests have caused a serious lack of sleep for the family.

She didn't care about her mother-in-law telling her to move her needle and thread first, and she could not care about paying attention to others.Closing the door, the family lay on the kang and fell asleep.

Waking up again is the sixth day.In the early morning, the family of three began to rush to the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings again with large bags and small bags.

In the provincial capital, there are Zhao Chuanguang and his four uncles, the Huang family and the Zhao family.They rushed for breakfast, dinner, and went back and forth non-stop.

Two days later, a family of three returned to the county with a bag full of red packets.Before he could take a breath, he immediately visited the elders and units to worship.

Haven't experienced the holiday, ushered in work.This busy Spring Festival is coming to an end for Zhang Guoqing, and for Zhou Jiao and Ping An, every day is the Spring Festival.

The tribes worship together, and friends and relatives get together.With the sound of firecrackers, laughter, and time passed every day, the Spring Festival of 5-9 years left so quietly.
