Four people came, old and young, carrying a lot of things. As soon as they entered the house, the middle-aged man and his two and a half-year-old children knelt down to kowtow to grandma and Cao Peiyu. Although the oldest old man did not kowtow to grandma, he also kowtowed to grandma. Bowing to greet the New Year, the etiquette is sufficient.
They are definitely not here for the first time, because they know the Guo family very well, and the Guo family is also very enthusiastic towards them.
After the guest paid New Year greetings to the host, Zhien took Zhili and Chunyang to bow to the old man and the middle-aged man. The old man happily took out three plates of shiny walnut pendants from his cotton-padded jacket pocket and gave them to Zhien and the others. He explained: "It's not a valuable thing, just for children to play with. Before coming here. I don¡¯t know about the eldest girl, but one of them is for her. I will give it to the little girl first this year, and then I will bring something else to the eldest girl during the Chinese New Year next year.¡±
Only when I looked at the pendant carefully did I realize why the old man had to explain it so clearly. It turned out that the knot tied under the red lanyard on the pendant was in the shape of a zodiac sign. Dongyang's zodiac sign was different from the zodiac sign on the lanyard. If he didn't explain it clearly, it would be wrong. not good.
In addition to an exquisite zodiac knot, this pendant also has a big coin with a square hole in the middle. The old man said that the family didn¡¯t have much money, so when they dug the ground in the spring, they dug out a few big coins and used them as lucky money for their three children. .
"Everyone's life is difficult, and they don't have much money on hand. Don't let others think about the New Year's money. Just don't mention it. It's already good to come all the way to pay New Year greetings.
Grandma said they were too polite, so don¡¯t bring anything with you when you come back in the future, just come over and say you¡¯re safe.
But the middle-aged man said bluntly: "How about that! Back then, Brother Guo almost died in order to save these two boys. This is a great life-saving favor. We can't do anything else, just celebrate the New Year. Come and see my aunt and sister-in-law, as long as there are still people in our old Zhang family, we can¡¯t cut off contact.¡±
The middle-aged man spoke sincerely, his eyes were faintly red, and the noses of those who listened were sore.
Grandma probably thought it was not good to let the children cry together during the Chinese New Year, so she waved her hand and let the children go out to play first.
There was no place to play outside, so five and a half-year-old children lined up and squatted under the eaves, chatting.
The two children of the Zhang family are named Zhang Wenjun and Zhang Wenfu. Zhang Wenjun and Zhien Zhili are the same age and are now 16. Zhang Wenfu is one year younger than Chunyang and is 14. They are both black and thin with Chinese characters and their faces are narrowed. At first glance, they are brothers. .
Zhien and the two brothers from the Zhang family got along very well with each other. They chatted about everything from crops to mountain products, and from mountain products to large markets. They could chat happily about trivial things.
Chunyang also found out the relationship between the Zhang family and the Guo family from their conversations.
Back then, Guo Houze was sent to the brigade here, and the brigade arranged for him to herd cattle and sheep. One winter, the cows that had been let out to graze began to come back one after another. When Guo Houze was counting, he found that one was missing. He quickly reported the situation to his team and went into the mountains to look for it.
What he entered was not the mountain behind the Guo family, but a higher and more dangerous mountain, where he might encounter a man-eating beast.
Before encountering the beast, Guo Houze first encountered the Zhang brothers who were severely beaten by their father for causing naughty troubles and left home in anger.
The grandfather and father of the Zhang brothers are both forest rangers. The younger brothers are also very courageous. They ran away from home and went deep into the mountains and old forests instead of going to crowded places. They just went into it and got lost. Fortunately, they met Guo Houze, it would be impossible for him to freeze to death in the mountains.
Guo Houze was about to send his two brothers home, but was unlucky enough to encounter an injured wild boar on the way.
The two brothers of the Zhang family were desperate, thinking that if they could collect the wild boar, they might be able to avoid a beating from their father and grandfather if they went home with the trophy.
¡°If a wild boar is injured, it is still a wild boar. The two brothers, who are less than ten years old, are not tall at all. At the critical moment, Guo Houze stepped forward and helped the two brothers climb the tree to hide from the wild boar, while he fought with the wild boar with his sickle.
In the end, the wild boar was knocked down by him, and he was also injured. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and the journey was not delayed.
When Guo Houze and his two children used mats made of branches and dead grass to drag the wild boar to the Zhang family, the grandmother of the Zhang family brothers almost fainted from crying, and the rest of the Zhang family also dispersed to search for the wild boar.
The grandfather and father of the Zhang family brothers came back and were naturally very grateful to Guo Houze. When they heard that he was looking for the cow, they asked relatives to help without saying a word. After a lot of effort, the cow was finally found. Guo Houze did not need to take responsibility and also told the Zhang family Make good connections.
Since then, the Zhang family has come to give gifts to the Guo family every Chinese New Year, and this has not stopped even after Guo Houze's death.
After the conversation, the young men somehow started talking about the future.
The Zhang brothers asked Zhien what he wanted to do in the future, and Guo Zhien happily said that when he grows up, he should let go.??, herding sheep all over the mountains and fields.
His great ambition was mercilessly ridiculed by the Zhang brothers. Zhang Wenjun told Zhien quite proudly: "My brother-in-law is a soldier in a place far away. He drives a tank, which is very impressive." He wrote back and said When we go home to visit relatives in the summer, my parents let us play more with my uncle. In a few years, when we are old enough, we will join the army like my uncle, and we will be as majestic as him."
Serving as a soldier is really a good way out. There is such a person in Xishan Village. He made meritorious service while serving in the army. After he was discharged from the army, he was assigned to work in the county town. He served as an iron rice bowl. Within two years, all his family members were gone. After being transferred to the county town to live, people who now know about it are still envious when they mention it.
Zhien was also envious, but he felt that he had no chance of becoming a soldier.
Zhang Wenjun was quite attentive and seemed to notice Zhien's disappointment. He patted his shoulders and the two brothers said kindly: "Zhien, if you want us to take you to join the army together, the three of us will work together in the army." Have a fight.¡±
No one knows what will happen in the future, but it¡¯s fun to think about it now.
However, this joy did not last long. The Zhang family drove a carriage along a small road. The road from the river to the Guo family was not easy to walk, so they tied their horses by the river. They could not stay away from people for too long. The Zhang family could not stay. An hour later, I had to leave without even eating.
After seeing off the Zhang family, Cao Peiyu began to sort out the things that the Zhang family brought.
They are all mountain products. Hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts and the like can be used as snacks. Those who know the rituals and music will drink them. In addition, there are hazel mushrooms, frozen mushrooms, hericium, small yellow mushrooms, fungus
What makes the Guo family happy the most is a large piece of frozen meat, which can actually be eaten for a long time.
"Dumplings, dumplings" Zhili said vaguely, watching the meat dripping with tears.
Cao Peiyu licked Zhili's head and said with a smile, "Okay, let's eat dumplings. Let's eat dumplings today too."
It was a good promise, but I didn¡¯t eat the dumpling.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1986, the Guo family was in chaos. For many years to come, Chunyang could not help but feel sour and jealous when recalling this day.
It is really difficult for people to live. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
