In the early morning, strands of light golden sunlight shine through the window and illuminate the entire room.
Maybe she was too tired during this period, Deng Qingling slept until nine o'clock in the morning.
When she walked into the main room, she saw Liang Xueying and Li Chunyan roasting a fire, chatting and peeling peanuts. She greeted them and went to the kitchen to have breakfast. She was eating alone and was too lazy to bring the food to the main room.
Deng Qingling washed the dishes after breakfast.
Deng Qingling sat down next to them and smiled slightly, "Mom, where are the others? Why aren't they home?"
Liang Xueying: "Jianping and the others went to your uncle's house, and the children went to your uncle Yang's house to watch the pig slaughter."
"oh."
Liang Xueying: "Afa and his wife rushed back early this morning. They said the station was packed with people. It was hard to buy tickets and get on the train. There wasn't even room to put your feet."
Fortunately, my son-in-law has a car, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable for my daughter to ride in the car with two children!
Deng Qingling: "Nowadays, many people go out to work, so it's normal to see a lot of people at the station."
Of course there were a lot of people at the station during the Spring Festival travel rush, but it was not like the later times where there were private cars and the number of people on buses was limited. The riding environment was pretty good, except that there was some traffic jam on the road.
Transportation is inconvenient nowadays and there are few vehicles. Generally, the bus only has as many people as possible. People nowadays don’t care about the riding environment. For them, it is good enough to be able to take a bus and go home for the New Year.
After peeling peanuts at home for a while, Deng Qingling went to chat with Ma Liying.
Ma Liying said that the university had been on vacation for a long time, and the reason why she and her husband came back so late was that a lot of winter clothes came into their stall after winter, and these winter clothes had to be cleared out before the New Year, so they set up the stall until the 28th day of the lunar year.
Twenty-nine waited at the station for almost the entire day and returned to the county town around midnight. They stayed in a guesthouse in the county town for one night and returned in the morning.
Ma Liying also said that Guangzhou is developing very fast now, and suggested that Deng Qingling open a store in Guangzhou. With her craftsmanship, the business will definitely be good. If they live nearby, they can visit each other often in the future.
She also secretly told Deng Qingling that she and her husband had bought a green brick and tile house of more than 70 square meters on Xiyi Road and asked her not to tell anyone else.
She also asked Deng Qingling to go to Guangzhou for a few days when she was free, and then she could stay at her place.
Deng Qingling stared at Ma Liying blankly for a moment before she came to her senses. She smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely keep up with you."
Ma Liying winked at Deng Qingling and said, "Then it's a deal. I'm looking forward to going to your restaurant every day to eat and drink for free."
"That won't do. You eat so much that I'm afraid the store will go bankrupt because of you." There was a hint of teasing in Deng Qingling's voice.
Ma Liying reached out and pinched Deng Qingling's arm, then said angrily, "Well, you actually dislike me for eating too much. Let's break up."
Deng Qingling took Ma Liying's hand and said to her with a flattering smile, "No, sister. If I open a restaurant in Guangzhou in the future, you can eat as much as you want. I promise not to charge a penny."
"It's you." Ma Liying said with a smile.
It's impossible to ask her to eat and drink for free. She can't do such a shameless thing. When her sisters want to open a store, she can join in and eat and drink for free occasionally.
The two chatted for a while, and when it was almost time for lunch, Deng Qingling went home.
They had just finished lunch when they heard the sound of firecrackers outside.
The year ends with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. In the bright sunshine, people in every household replace the old charms with new ones.
"Everyone, hurry up. Those who need to boil water should boil water, and those who need to kill chickens should kill chickens." Guo Youxing said.
"knew."
Then, everyone went their separate ways.
Everyone knew what they should do without Guo Youxing's instructions.
Deng Qingling and Li Chunyan went to pick and wash vegetables, Liang Xueying boiled water, and the Guo Jianping brothers killed a chicken.
Guo Youxing took the children to tear down the old Spring Festival couplets at home and put up new ones.
The village was decorated with lights and lanterns everywhere, and every household hung up red lanterns and put up festive Spring Festival couplets.
At around two o'clock, Guo Jianping took a group of children to worship the gods.
The crackling sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the village, and everyone's face was filled with festive smiles.
After worshiping the gods, the children returned home and took turns taking a bath. After taking a bath, Guo Haochen and his siblings went to the well to line up to wash clothes.
Not everyone goes there to wash clothes. When there are few spaces, one person washes the clothes. When there are spaces, two people wash the clothes. It's like one person is working and several people are supervising him.
Otherwise, if everyone washes, the brothers and sisters will monopolize the well, and how will others wash?
By the time they finished washing the clothes and returned home, the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready.
As soon as Guo Haojie and Guo Ningwan got home, they went into the kitchen and asked when dinner would be served, saying that they were starving.
Liang Xueying smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, that's it. Go and ask your brothers and sisters to set the table!"
"Okay, we got it." The two of them responded happily and ran out.
While Guo Haochen was helping to set the table, Guo Jianping brought a bowl of pig's feet stewed with peanuts and some chicken to Uncle Guo's house for Old Lady Guo to eat. The pig's feet had been stewed for a long time, so even though Old Lady Guo had bad teeth, she could still eat it.
Although life is better now than before and Uncle Guo's family has no shortage of meat, these are their family's token of love for Old Mrs. Guo.
At the dinner table, Guo Youxing raised his wine glass and said a few words of blessing to everyone.
Guo Youxing said: "In the new year, I hope that those of you who are doing business will make a lot of money, those who are working will get promotions and salary increases, and those who are studying will get good grades. I hope that everyone will have everything they want and all their dreams will come true."
"I wish our parents good health and success in everything." The Guo Jianping brothers also raised their glasses and said at the same time.
"Well, all the best to everyone."
Then, the three of them clinked their glasses and drank together.
Everyone said a few auspicious words and started eating.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, the adults give the children New Year’s money.
Afterwards, Guo Haochen took his younger brothers and sisters to play with fireworks in the yard.
Soon the yard was filled with the laughter of children.
Sister Guo Ninghuan each held a long, thin green firework and swung it back and forth. The firework burned little by little, accompanied by sparks and crackling sounds.
When the fireworks were about to burn their hands, they quickly threw them on the ground and let them continue to burn.
Guo Haochen and several other boys were playing with firecrackers and sky rockets.
The children's faces were filled with excitement and joy.
Deng Qingling sat in the main room, warming herself by the fire and chatting with everyone. From time to time, she looked outside to remind them not to get fireworks on anyone.
Seeing the children laughing so happily, the adults couldn't help but laugh along.
... ...
Time passed by unknowingly, and soon it was twelve o'clock. After lighting the firecrackers, everyone who was dozing off in the main room went back to their rooms to sleep.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
