Chapter 74
Chapter 61 happy New Year
“Lah ah ah ah ah ”
There are a total of ten chickens and five geese in the family. Lu Ze holds a pot with rice husks in it. They are placed in the pen to greet the poultry to come and eat the chaff. As for the pigs and dogs, they are not kept at home.
“Weiguo! Is Weiguo at home? Hey? When will Daze come back?”
A still healthy old man pushed open the iron gate and greeted Lu Weiguo. After seeing Lu Ze, he asked happily.
“I came back last night, my dad is watching TV in the house, what’s the matter?”
Lu Ze is also smiling. This is the only remaining grandfather of the old Lu family. Other uncles and the like are not counted. The second master and Lu Ze’s grandfather are the same compatriots. As for Lu Ze’s grandparents, they have passed away. .
“I won’t call your dad when you are at home. Let’s go with Erye. Erye’s slaughter of pigs, come and help.”
This is a tradition in the northeastern countryside. Before the New Year, the family raising pigs usually kill a pig to prepare for the New Year. In the past, the family members used to help, and the pork was also distributed to take home, and the first meal of pork was famous. Of slaughter pig dishes.
“Okay, I’ll go over, come in, second master, and have some tea with my dad.”
Putting on a green labor protection army coat, Lu Ze followed to Erye’s house. Lu Nan, the girl, also wanted to join in the fun. Lu Ze could only take her with him.
Yesterday, when Lu Ze came back, it was dinner. There was no one on the road. There were many people on the road this morning. After seeing Lu Ze, they greeted enthusiastically. The old Lu’s family did not have that catastrophe. In fact, the standard of living in the village was It’s okay, and the old Lu family is considered highly respected in the village. Basically anyone can build a relationship with the old Lu family.
Lu Ze’s grandmother originally gave birth to four children, but unfortunately the eldest and second child died. The third child is an aunt and has been married to the south. Although he often contacts, he has not seen Lu Weiguo for a long time. Only Lu Ze goes to his aunt during the festival. Home gave gifts.
There are already quite a few people in the yard of Erye’s house, all of whom are from the cousin of Lu Weiguo’s cousin. There are also several children playing in the yard, occasionally annoying his dad and getting bored.
The pig of more than 300 kilograms has been tied up. He lay on the wooden shelf and screamed. After the hot water boiled, the second master handed the knife to Lu Ze. It was not the first time that Lu Ze took the knife. Scratched on the whetstone.
The cigarette **** spit out on the ground, and opened a cut across the pig’s neck. The blood poured out instantly, Lu Nan put the pot away, and the blood dripped into the pot.
The pig began to writhe and howl frantically. The child would inevitably feel scared when he heard this sound, but Lu Ze didn’t shake his hand at all, and continued to stab the knife steadily. Someone pressed the pig’s head, saving a lot of things. Lu Ze was very relaxed. Just drain the pig blood.
Therefore, the children of the same generation in the village and Lu Ze, who have seen Lu Ze killing pigs are basically afraid of Lu Ze. They have been killing pigs since the age of fifteen or sixteen. They bleed the pigs with expressionless faces. It’s not comparable, who is not afraid to change!
After , I opened my stomach and threw water. The intestines were washed by the women, and the blood was poured into the pot and steamed. The pork was also cut, and the sauerkraut was added and the simmering started. After a while, the yard was full of fragrance.
After drinking a glass of white wine with a group of elders, Lu Ze turned his eyes to Lu Nan. This girl was happily eating, she did not look like she was afraid when she killed the pig just now.
This girl just remembers eating or not. When he was a child, Lu Ze wondered if his sister was a fool, and suggested that Li Yumei take her to the hospital to check her intelligence.
After all, the little girl he sees is not as naughty as Lu Nan. She dared to tie firecrackers to the cow’s tail, go to the house to uncover tiles all day, and stole the father’s pipe to the toilet and smoked two mouthfuls. Lu Ze caught them every day. After being beaten by Lu Ze, she cried as soon as she was beaten. When she found that no one was taking care of her, she put away her tears and continued to stick to the brother who had just beaten her.
There is always a lot of fighting, and there is always an accidental injury. At this time, Lu Nan feels wronged and ignores Lu Ze. But when he sees that Lu Ze has something delicious in his hands, he immediately loses his face and ran over. Instead, he apologized to Lu Ze.
Thinking of that time, Lu Ze smiled and touched his sister’s long black hair. Lu Nan took a look at Lu Ze with chopsticks in his mouth. He shook his head and took away Lu Ze’s hand, stretched out his arm to block it. Pork stuffed into her mouth, and another piece was shared with her four-year-old nephew. The smiling eyes of the young and the older were narrowed into crescents.
…
“Sent to the God of Wealth, let’s take a God of Wealth. No money is required. New Year’s fortune and longevity will be increased! Make a fortune!”
brought the pork back home, and a gift to the God of Wealth came. It was actually a piece of plastic paper with the God of Wealth and New Year’s calendar printed on it, which could be pasted on the wall.
Lu Ze paid him five yuan. This is the rule. When someone comes to give it, you must give the money, and the other party must also follow the rules. The first time you don’t receive the money, you must say that you can’t ask for money to give the **** of wealth. Only then can I accept it, and then say a few good words to the family before turning around and leaving.
Lu Ze estimated that a piece of paper would only cost a few cents a piece of paper for wholesale, door to door, every village, almost a net profit of 8,000, just a few days.
Lu Ze once thought of doing this job to collect some money, but Li Yumei scolded him as a shameful business. Only foreigners could do it. Locals could not do this business even if they starved to death.
“Go and post it.”
Passed it to Lu Nan. Lu Nan took the order, posted it on the top of the TV, and asked Lu Weiguo if it was correct.
Lu Ze changed into clean clothes, went to the cupboard in the East House, put incense on his grandparents, and after knocking his head, he pulled Lu Nan to buy new year goods.
This time period is an appointment. Everyone takes a van or a tractor to the town together, and everyone collects a dollar to give the driver some gas.
It must be a traffic law to do so, but there is no way, because the road is not easy, Murakami has to buy New Year goods. This habit has been maintained for more than 20 years, and fortunately there has been no accident.
I went to the town to buy a lot of things, not only for my own family, but also for walking around. Lu Ze now has a nephew, and he has to buy a dozen red envelopes, change the change in the town, and go home.
The New Year’s Eve for children in the village is usually twenty or fifty yuan. Lu Ze doesn’t plan to give a big head to a few hundred. One child will get fifty.
…
Twelve dishes, four cold dishes, and eight hot dishes. What Lu Ze has been looking forward to since he was a child is this table of hot meals on New Year’s Eve. Basically, after the New Year, he is looking forward to the coming year after more than 300 days.
The lights at home are all on, and the Spring Festival Gala is playing on the TV. Lu Nan is lying on the kang playing with his mobile phone. Lu Weiguo and Li Yumei are wrapping dumplings. Because they don’t have two fingers, Lu Weiguo can only help roll the skin.
Lu Ze picked up the phone, walked to the East Room, plugged in the charger, charged the phone, and flipped through the contacts.
Compared to previous years, Lu Ze’s circle is much larger this year. There are many people who need to contact, such as the leaders of the company, Shen Jinghan, Cheng Yuan, Guo Mingde, Song Guiyuan, Zeng Long, and Liu Le.
As for the people in the group acting circle and some unfamiliar actors, Lu Ze directly sent group text messages.
There are also directors he knew when he was working on special types. There are very few contact methods for such directors. After all, not every director can talk about a few words on a special type, let alone keep contact information, in order to expand his own. He was so familiar with his contacts, he still called one by one.
As for
“Remember, on the eighth day of the day, you must give me Tengchong, eat less food during the New Year, don’t get fat in a few days, so be it, hang up and finally hang up Guo Mingde’s On the phone, Lu Ze lay on the kang and stretched his waist vigorously. He was tired after making too many calls. It was really tired.
The phone rang, and he called again. Lu Ze took it, looked at the screen, stayed for a second, and then connected the phone with some hesitation.
“Lu Ze! Happy New Year! Listen! We have put a lot of fireworks here, they are very beautiful! Unfortunately, you can’t see it, are you back to Lu Hua now? Lu Ze? Hello?”
Lu Ze did not speak, his throat seemed to be stuffed with sputum, stuck in his throat so that he couldn’t say a word.
“Hello? Is it Lu Ze’s call? Hello? Did you call it wrong?”
“Huh? Huh… it’s me, just… the signal just wasn’t very good.”
“Well then, happy new year!”
“Well, happy new year.”
“Then… Am I hung up?”
“it is good.”
hung up, the door was knocked twice.
“Brother, it’s dinner! It’s almost twelve o’clock!”
“understood.”
Breathing out, Lu Ze put on his shoes and came to Westinghouse and sat next to Lu Weiguo. This was the bell ringing of the Spring Festival Gala, and the family of four focused their eyes on the TV.
“Let’s count down together! Ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four. ……Three……two…….One! Happy New Year!”
There were also firecrackers in the village. Lu Ze looked out the window, and a firecracker flew into the sky and blew…
“Dad, Mom, New Year, Dad, touch one.”
After a sip of wine, 2017 is here, and the Chinese New Year is good…
“…”
