Chapter 0540 – New Year’s Customs (II)

“Come on, you little brothers out of the question are so no level, drink!”

The fish’s preoccupation was said by Zhuang Rui, from Ouyang Zhenshan, again each person a cup of wine down, this is already the third cup of more than two taels of wine, the atmosphere between the banquet has become more and more enthusiastic.

“This chicken, duck and fish meat in the meat, is braised meat, represents the red hot, let us red hot over the New Year!”

Zhuang Rui’s words said a few people don’t know whether to shake their heads or nod their heads well, Zhuang Rui didn’t say anything wrong, keep drinking!

“Okay, you guys keep messing around! Let’s go take a break ……”

Ouyang Zhenshan brothers and sisters are also almost nearly sixty years old, even a few glasses of wine down, this will also pan liquor, at the moment they left the restaurant, go to the main room to talk.

“You little brat, just dunked us dunked cool ah! Give me a drink ……”

The elders have left, Ouyang Jun came to energy, pulling Zhuang Rui to pour a few cups of wine one after another.

To say that this wine is really a catalyst for feelings. After a few glasses of wine, Ouyang Long’s two brothers also let go, and the five cousins ended up drinking two more bottles of Maotai, which was the end of today’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

“Uncle, uncle, give me a firecracker ……”

Zhuang Rui just walked out of the restaurant, was pulled by the little nui nui, she is the youngest in this group of children, although the pocket is loaded with a lot of firecrackers, but she does not dare to put ah! Watching others, that is called an anxious, now see Zhuang Rui, even hang on to uncle’s body.

“Good, take our baby princess to put cannonballs ……”

Seeing the lively situation in this yard, Zhuang Rui is also childish, he seems to have more than 10 years without letting go of these things, the memories of the childhood New Year’s Eve tucked into a satchel of firecrackers running around, appeared in the mind.

This is more than 20 years, he will soon enter the marriage hall, Zhuang Rui heart quite a lot of feelings, at the moment holding Nui Nui’s little hand, take her to play in the yard.

Zhuang Rui hand pinch bean sprouts cannon move, but also attracted a group of children’s exclamation, which makes Zhuang Rui recalled when he was a child in order to show off, fingers were blown up like a carrot like situation.

After making a mess in the yard for a while, Zhuang Rui went to the front yard. Looked at Zhang Ma and the guards, in addition to eating in a different place, today all the dishes are the same, and in the front yard and the concierge, there are TVs, this will be the Spring Festival Gala just started, Zhang Ma Li sister-in-law and Peng Fei, all get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Back to the main room in the center courtyard, Ouyang Wan waved to Zhuang Rui and said, “Don’t set off the firecrackers at 12 o’clock, your grandfather is a light sleeper, so don’t wake him up again.”

Hey, the old man was still ungrateful, his eyes glared and said, “What are you afraid of! When I was an old man, I slept to the sound of guns and cannons, and I’m still afraid of firecrackers? Put, put the louder the better …….”

“OK, I know that you are not afraid of dad, but mom is afraid!”

Ouyang Wan some tears and laughter, this is really old children, do not look at once the jingoism, this to the old and ordinary old people no difference.

“Your mom is not afraid of it, that will also be carrying a stretcher fighting in the front line, or I can recognize it?”

The old man seems to feel that he has missed the point, and hastily closed his mouth, while Ouyang Jun and others are snickering, this grandfather’s love history, but it is rare to hear once.

When the old man reached 9 o’clock or so, his spirit was a bit weak and he went back to his room to sleep.

“Fourth brother, come on you, sit on the side and help me coax my daughter to go, look at your dumplings, call them buns.”

The family is watching TV while wrapping the dumplings, to say that the Ouyang family brothers, thesis play guns, bird walking poetry may be able to, but this work they really can not do, one by one, the dumplings are wrapped upside down, do not need to put into the pot, I am afraid that the meat filling will be exposed.

It is that a few brothers daughter-in-law, the ability to do it is not good, but Zhuang Rui family to do this work is very nimble, Zhao Guodong rolling skin, Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Wan and Zhuang Min three people package, the action is very skillful, the three people out of the size of the dumplings, almost all the same, not long after the entire desktop.

Zhuang Rui also wrapped a few pieces of sugar inside the dumpling skin, which is also a custom in the New Year’s Eve. On the first day of the New Year, whoever can eat the special stuffed dumplings, it means that the coming year will have a year of good luck, it was supposed to put coins, but there are too many small children, Zhuang Rui can only take the sugar instead.

New Year’s Eve always passes especially fast, in the laughter caused by the skit comedy, the Spring Festival Gala will soon be over, a group of small children have long been hanging firecrackers outside, ready to use the sound of firecrackers to meet the arrival of the New Year.

This gang of little guys usually New Year’s Eve, basically are also locked up at home, this day all play crazy, none willing to go to bed, the little Nui Nui’s eyes have been almost can not open, but also like a follower like following Yaya’s back.

“Wait and then fire the cannon, I’ll go and see Grandpa …….”

Zhuang Rui explained Ouyang Lei’s son, drilled into Ouyang Gang’s room, the old man this will have already slept, Zhuang Rui hastily used the aura to help him comb his body, and then went to Grandma’s room so and so again, before he exited the room.

The most taboo for the elderly, is the great sadness and great joy, although Zhuang Rui often help them comb the body, but the age has reached the limit. Perhaps a surprise or sadness will make them leave this world, Zhuang Rui can not be careless.

When the clock in the TV set rang, the song by Ms. Li Guyi, has been sung for two whole decades of unforgettable tonight song rang, outside the deafening firecrackers also rang.

Not only in Zhuang Rui’s courtyard, this moment, it seems that the whole world, are filled with the sound of firecrackers, even close to each other, talking to each other is difficult to hear the sound. This signaled to people that the New Year had arrived!

Older children, took the firecrackers released, that a flower cannon flying high into the night sky after the explosion, flashing colorful light, the entire night sky are illuminated brightly, Beijing, at this time is a city that never sleeps!

Zhuang Rui was originally calling his future mother-in-law to pay tribute to the New Year! The sound also suddenly interrupted off, he at this time simply can not hear the voice coming from the phone, taking advantage of this will not have their own thing, Zhuang Rui quickly drilled back to his room, and Qin Xuan Bing video.

White lion was also startled by the sudden sound of firecrackers, scurried to the pond on the rockery, low roar up to the sky, showing the mastiff king’s style, see a group of small children clapping more than.

From 11 o’clock, waiting in the kitchen Ouyang Wan and several nephews and daughters-in-law, but also to watch TV when the dumplings, under the water has boiled inside the pot.

The old man and old lady were also woken up by the sound of firecrackers, and got up to eat two dumplings before going to sleep. Coincidentally, each of the two old men actually ate a dumpling with sugar, which also signaled that the two old men’s bodies would be healthier in the coming year.

In the children and grandchildren of a congratulatory sound, the old man like a victory in general, and went back to bed, but the two health doctors to the tangled not light, this environment is too noisy, if not the old man insisted, said nothing will not come to the New Year’s Eve here.

New Year’s Eve tossed quite late, the first day of the year, all slept lazily, but fortunately relatives are living together, and do not have to go out to pay tribute to the New Year.

Zhuang Rui this mansion is big enough, after getting up. The children played games, while Ouyang Zhenwu and Ouyang Zhenshan left to go to work, Ouyang Long is even early in the morning to take the plane to leave Beijing.

On the first and second day of the first Zhuang Rui stayed in the courtyard, he was ready to go back to Pangcheng with his brother-in-law on the fifth day of the first month, and then go back to Beijing on the tenth day of the first month to prepare for his engagement.

This time back to Pangcheng, Zhuang Rui is also to send invitations to some of the elders neighbors, and come more often in the hands of students, as the saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors, Zhuang Rui from a young age can not be naughty in other people’s homes, the relationship between the good and the relatives are no different.

Early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, is home to stay a little bored Zhuang Rui, received a phone call from Zhao Hanxuan, but the Zhao buddy heart bottomless, make a phone call to ask Zhuang Rui, when to take over the store, of course, that the meaning of the words, that is, ask Zhuang Rui when to give money.

Around today is also nothing, Zhuang Rui simply shouted Ouyang Jun Zhao Guodong, and live here Ouyang Lei’s son Ouyang Ya and other people, and then hold on the daughter, go to Panjiayuan catch the temple fair.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year in Beijing, everywhere overflowing with festive atmosphere, recognize not know, meet are a smile, mouth also two words: good New Year!

In Panjiayuan Temple Fair, it is more crowded, if not the little girl sitting on Zhuang Rui’s shoulders, I’m afraid it would have been crowded out.

After wandering around in various stalls for a while, the little girl hand mouth pocket, has been filled with food and toys, the little guy holding a Guan Er Master’s Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, his mouth also yi yi yi yi shouted, really think of Zhuang Rui as a big horse to ride.

“Boss Zhuang, good New Year, good New Year ……”

Entered that reopened the “Shu Ya Zhai”, wearing a big red satin waistcoat Zhao Hanxuan, up is a arch, his face than a few days ago to be much better, must have Zhuang Rui’s commitment to this psychological pressure to reduce a lot.

“Good New Year!”

Ouyang Jun also arched his hand at Zhao Hanxuan, but was kicked in the back by Zhuang Rui, this arch is also a matter of taste, to the left hand on the top, the right hand in the bottom of the fist, which is “auspicious worship”, the opposite of the “evil worship” said just now, Ouyang Jun that worship method. If you meet a person who is a little more sophisticated, surely the face will be sent away right away.

However, Zhao Hanxuan also knows that Ouyang Jun is not in the circle, at the moment did not care, greeted a few people into the room and sat down.

“Old Zhao, I’m busy this time, let’s sign the transfer contract, this running formalities, or rely on you to be busy.”

Zhuang Rui sat down also did not polite, directly from the bag took out two copies of the contract he printed at home, placed in front of Zhao Hanxuan.
