When Qin Jian put down his cell phone and came to the living room, He Jing had just come out of the bedroom.

The siblings and sisters wore the same pajamas and sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Sister, have you given red envelopes to your parents this year?"

"It's wrapped."

"How many."

"What about you, including the six grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents, each with three thousand," he said.

"Then let's unify it, I'll also charge three thousand."

"You don't have to worry about me, you can pack as much as you want."

"Don't, we're the same."

"That's OK."

"Hey sister, I plan to change my grandfather's glasses this year. My mother said last time that my grandfather's glasses should be changed. In addition, I also wanted to buy a massage chair for my grandmother and grandma. You said you would buy something for my grandfather."

"I brought my grandpa with a secondary hearing aid from New York."

"Yes! Why did I forget this?"

"It's okay, then we will take our grandpa to Nanshi in a few days."

"Yeah, sister."

"Um?"

"Do you like that bag?"

"You chose it?"

——

The next morning, Qin Jian's alarm clock rang and got up.

Fang Xuehua and He Jing were already steaming jujube buns in the kitchen, and Qin Gang was organizing couplets.

Qin Jian thought he had raised the first one, so when he came out, he saw that he was the last one to raise the first one.

Fang Xuehua: "Go and wash your face and brush your teeth, eat something to post couplets with your dad."

Qin Jian: "okok!"

After washing his handsome face, Qin Jian came to the kitchen and watched a pot of fried meatballs grab a handful and was about to feed them. Fang Xuehua hurriedly stopped him with a rolling pin, "Put it down! I haven't respected the gods yet!"

Qin Jian let go of his hand in a mess, and saw He Jing laughing aside.

Fang Xuehua said: "There is bread in the refrigerator."

Qin Jian ate a few mouthfuls of bread, and then started to post couplets with Qin Gang.

The two of them opened the door of the house and were about to take action, but the door opposite was also opened.

"Happy New Year's Eve"

"Happy New Year's Eve"

"Happy New Year's Eve"

"Happy New Year's Eve"

This traditional greeting that belongs to the Chinese people can only be said on this day.

The two families were standing close to each other, and the sound of going upstairs sounded in the corridor.

A figure appeared for a moment.

"Happy New Year's Eve of Master!"

"Happy New Year's Eve of Uncle Qin!"

Fang Xiaoyu was wearing a festive new dress, holding a packaged box in his left hand and two gift boxes in his hand.

"The little fish is here."

Qin Gang put down his work and greeted Fang Xiaoyu, "Come and sit in the house."

Qin Jian followed in the middle of the door frame with the word Fu.

Fang Xiaoyu entered the house and put down what he had in his hand, and greeted Fang Xuehua and He Jing for a New Year, and then he was about to leave.

Qin Jian: "What a panic, drink a little water before leaving."

Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "Master, my dad is waiting for me downstairs, so we have to go to grandma's house to post couplets."

Seeing this, Qin Jian stopped trying to keep him. He was putting in a red envelope. Xuehua had already taken out a red envelope, and Fang Xiaoyu's name was also on it. "Come on Xiaoyu, I wish you a smooth year, and I'll give you a good voice to our family."

"Thank you Aunt Fang, thank you Aunt Fang," Fang Xiaoyu just moved his mouth, not knowing whether he should answer it in his hand. Qin Jian smiled and said, "I'll take it for you." As he said that, he also took out the red envelope he prepared for Fang Xiaoyu.

When Fang Xiaoyu saw that there were two red envelopes, he hurriedly took the one in Fang Xuehua's hand, bowed and ran away.

"Goodbye to the master, uncle and aunt!"

After Fang Xiaoyu left, Fang Xuehua smiled and sighed: "What a good child."

"Mom, I see that Xiaoyu's name is written on your red envelope. You have already prepared it." Qin Jian asked.

Qin Gang continued: "Your mother knows that Xiaoyu will definitely come today."

Fang Xuehua: "You are basically abroad this year and don't know that during festivals, Xiaoyu's family will definitely come to deliver things to us."

"Sometimes it's her, sometimes it's her dad."

"We have always felt sorry for each other, but it is not easy to refuse others' wishes in person."

"So this is the Chinese New Year. Your dad and I will give someone a red envelope together."

Qin Jian nodded, "Okay."

Then the family continued to be busy

After posting the couplet, Qin Jian drove to pick up four old men.

Qin Gang fried oil cakes, chopped dumpling fillings, and Fang Xuehua put the pot on to worship the gods.

Since Qin Jian was not here, the task of kowtowing to the Land Lord this year naturally fell on He Jing.

When He Jing kowtowed, the couple stood aside. They still remembered that Qin Jian was rushing to be the first to kowtow when he was a child.

Our teacher He received the first red envelope after kowtowing, from the couple.

"Thank you, Teacher Qin, and Aunt Fang."

I respect the chef's god to make dumplings.

The three of them were busy, and Qin Jian had already taken grandparents to the house.

Then he set out to pick up his grandparents.

——

The old Qin and his wife still live in the village, about 20 kilometers away from Yangcheng.

Going westward, the city scene was gradually replaced by the abandoned factories and sandy green plants along the way.

After passing the gas station at the intersection, Qin Jian saw two large stone pillars standing on the bare roadside from a distance.

There are two crooked characters engraved on the stone pillar.

"Erzhuang."

When Qin Jian was about to arrive at Zhuangkou, he saw a group of children gathering around the stone pillar on the left to set off firecrackers.

He slowed down the car.

Seeing the car coming, the children scattered away, and then looked at the slowly driving car with curiosity.

The cars are no longer new to them, but at this time point today, they want to know which family is back.

At this time, a little dark-faced gag looked at the car sign, and a pair of thieves' small eyes were tossing and turning. Suddenly, he shouted the local dialect in the village: "I, Uncle Qin, is back!"

He ran with the car,

As soon as he heard Uncle Qin's name, the other children ran after the car excitedly.

Qin Jian saw this scene through the rearview mirror, which slowed down the car's speed even more.

After entering Zhuangzi Road, both sides of the road are no longer the mute houses in his childhood memories.

The yard walls of various new brick and tile houses no longer have 'family planning' slogans, and have been replaced by 'building a new socialist countryside'.

As I recalled, Qin Jian stopped in front of a large iron door, and there was a big lantern on the bare jujube tree next to the door.

He knew that grandpa had posted the pair.

He got off the car and the children who followed him did not dare to surround him when they saw that it was not their uncle Qin.

Only the dark-faced Gazi looked at Qin Jian's face and looked at you carefully for a while, shouting: "Brother Jian, you are back!"

Qin Jian had a little impression of this little boy who was about twelve or twelve years old, but he was a little blurred.
