Chapter 45 The Year of the Lin Family

After dinner in the evening, Lin Tianyou pulled his eldest brother Cheng Hao into his room and asked, "Brother, why didn't you see the second uncle's family? Second brother didn't come over either?"

Cheng Hao sighed and said, "Do you know that Xiangzi found a girlfriend in Beijing?" Lin Tianyou nodded, and heard his mother talk about it when he came back on November.

"Second Uncle and his family have all gone to Beijing for Chinese New Year!"

"Go to Beijing? Why?"

"Say it will be in-laws!"

Lin Tianyou frowned: "Even if you want to meet your in-laws, there is no big New Year's meeting?"

"I heard from my mother that the family wanted to meet on the fifth day of the lunar new year. The second aunt was afraid that it would be difficult to book tickets at that time, so she went ahead of time. Anyway, Xiangzi also has a house in Beijing."

"Second brother bought a house in Beijing?" Lin Tianyou remembered that he said he wanted to buy it last time, but at that time he said he was short of money?How did you buy it so quickly.

"I don't know. Anyway, I bought it. You said it's better to stay at home too much during the Chinese New Year. Tickets for the second and third grades of junior high school are also very easy to buy. But when the second aunt said a word, the second uncle followed him!"

"Then the second brother didn't come to see grandpa and grandma in advance?"

"Speaking of this, I am even more angry. He never came back from Beijing."

"Then what did grandpa and grandma say?"

"Grandma said that love can go wherever it goes. Grandpa didn't express his opinion at all, but I think he was very angry. Xiangzi didn't come back and only told his second uncle and aunt, and didn't call his grandparents." Lin Tianyou didn't know either. I should say something, but I just feel that the second uncle's family is not doing it right.

In order not to make grandma and grandpa unhappy, no one in the family mentioned Lin Tianyou's second uncle's family. Lin Tianyou got up a bit late in the morning at [-], and when he went downstairs, his uncle and his family had all come over. I am preparing to paste the couplet!

"God bless, are you awake?"

Lin Tianyou was a little embarrassed looking at the people in the room. Last night he and Jian Yousi had a video chat, and they didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning, so they couldn't get up this morning.

"God Bless, wash your hands and come over to eat!" Zhao Xiaomei brought out the hot food in the pot to Lin Tianyou!

"Old aunt, I can do it by myself, you are busy with your work!" Lin Tianyou hurried over to do it himself, it is embarrassing enough to get up late, and it is too shameful to let someone wait on you now!

"That's fine, you can do it yourself, just put it away after eating, and I'll clean it up later!" Zhao Xiaomei went to work with Xu Lian after she finished speaking.

Lin Tianyou took a quick bite, then washed the bowls and chopsticks, went into the big house and Cheng Hao and the others were going to paste the couplets. Mother Lin made the paste with flour, and they divided it up and started to paste it.

"Fourth brother, move a little to the right, yes, lower to the left, okay, that's it," Cheng Xiaoyu commanded from below, and Lin Tianlei posted a banner on it.

After the outside is pasted, it's the turn of the house. Every room has to be pasted with a word "Fu". Mr. Cheng said that it should be pasted upside down. "Fu upside down" has a good meaning!

Ms. Lin and her two sisters-in-law prepared lunch together. Since the second elder’s family didn’t come this year, they could prepare less. There were pig’s trotters and elbows in the pot. Cheng Shuifang and Xu Lian also sauced a lot of chicken feet in advance. Children love to chew it as a snack!

Chen Si sent over some blood sausage in the morning, saying that it was specially reserved for Lin Tianyou, and Cheng Shuifang filled Chen Si with a few sauced pig's trotters. She still understood the principle of reciprocity!

In the afternoon, Lin Tianyou and Cheng Hao prepared wires, light poles, and hung out two red lanterns. Their custom is to light lanterns during the New Year, and the lights in the house must be on. Even if everyone is asleep in the middle of the night, at least the living room Or the kitchen lights have to be on all night!

In the evening, Lin Tianyou received a call from Jian Yousi, and it was obvious that the Jian family had a large population.The screams of the children could be heard together, and the two chatted for a while, when Jian Yousi heard Lin's mother calling Lin Tianyou, he hung up the phone!

"God bless, go and fry the melon seeds, peanuts and pine nuts," they are not used to buying ripe dried fruits, they fry them raw at home!

"Understood!" Just as Lin Tianyou was about to go to the kitchen, Lin Xueer came in from the outside. Lin Tianyou saw that his sister's complexion was not very good. Who is this New Year's Eve angry with?

"Xue'er, come and fry melon seeds with me!" Lin Tianyou grabbed his younger sister and dragged her to the kitchen. Mother Lin didn't think much about it, she just thought that the siblings hadn't seen each other for a year, and now they wanted to chat!

"Tell me? What's the matter with you? You still have such a long face during Chinese New Year," Lin Tianyou asked while rubbing Lin Xueer's face.

"Just now I met Chen Jiao when I came back from Tingting's house," Lin Tianyou seemed to understand. Tingting Lin Xueer said was her classmate from elementary school to high school. Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, they still kept in touch. , the relationship has always been good, and it is normal to come back to have a look during the Chinese New Year. As for why this Chen Jiao made Lin Xueer angry, in the final analysis, it was because of Lin Tianyou.

Chen Jiao is Lin Tianyou's classmate. They had a relationship in middle school. Lin Xueer didn't like this girl at first sight. Later, because of this incident, she didn't talk to Lin Tianyou for a month. In the end, Lin Tianyou saw her younger sister. With such insistence, he had no choice but to compromise. Anyway, he didn't want to date Chen Jiao because he liked it.

It's not a big deal for a middle school student to fall in love, but when Chen Jiao's mother found out, she ran to Lin Tianyou's house to make a fuss, saying that her daughter suffered a loss, and the Lin family had to give an explanation, Lin's mother is not a good idiot , and immediately asked to take Chen Jiao to the hospital for an examination. If she really suffered a loss, the Lin family would definitely give an explanation. Mother Lin still knew her son very well, and Lin Tianyou would never do anything out of the ordinary. My mother was stupid at the time. If she took the girl to the hospital for an examination, she would be ashamed when she came back. She just wanted to extort some money from the Lin family, but she didn't want to make trouble like this.

Later, the relationship between the two families fell apart completely, and the children had grown up. The relationship between the two families was not so salty until Chen Jiao made a boyfriend who was a businessman in Linchun City. The big boss bought things for Chen Jiao's family every day and every day. Chen Jiao's mother was originally a person who loved the parents and the family. Now that the girl found a rich man, she immediately felt proud and always talked to him when she had nothing to do. Said, "Fortunately, our Jiaojiao didn't talk to that kid from the Lin family back then, why don't we go and find such a rich son-in-law for me, that kid from the Lin family has nothing to offer, don't look at Bingcheng, he just works for others .”

Mother Lin didn't want to hear this, and one day the two quarreled on the street, and Mother Lin told what happened back then in a fit of anger. As a result, this scene happened to be bumped into by Chen Jiao and his partner. Chen Jiao's partner probably felt a little too embarrassed, so he drove away at that time... In this way, the starlings of the two families were completely married, after so many years It didn't slow down either!

"Don't meddle in these things!"

"You think I'm willing to meddle!" Lin Xueer felt disgusted when she thought about seeing Chen Jiao's appearance just now.

Lin Tianyou smiled and asked, "Then why are you angry?"

"Forget it, I won't tell you, big brother, turn over the pot quickly, the melon seeds will be all mushy in a while!" Lin Tianyou saw that it was not, and quickly turned the melon seeds in the pot!

As soon as it got dark, the lanterns in Chengjia Village lit up one after another. The dumplings eaten by Lin’s family had two fillings, three delicacies and celery. Grandma Cheng said: “You have to eat a few celery fillings. New Year’s and Be quicker!"

Lin Tianyou really doesn't like dumplings stuffed with celery. The celery doesn't wash with oil. He feels a little greasy every time he eats it. But when his grandma said something, he would eat two as a token!

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the dishes were already on the table one after another. Xu Lian and the others were ready to cook dumplings. Lin Tianlei and Lin Tianlei went to the yard to set off firecrackers and fireworks. Cheng Donggang and Cheng Dongxing prepared paper money and drew a sign in the yard. Circle, burn the paper money, while chanting the names of the elders who have passed away!

After they finished their work outside, the dumplings in the house have already started to be served. New Year’s Eve is extremely important to everyone. This is a tradition that only belongs to the Chinese. It is a time for family reunion. Cheng Dongqiang called home at this time A call came, but it was Cheng Donggang's cell phone!

Cheng Donggang went to the outhouse to answer the phone, Lin Tianyou didn't know what the two uncles said on the phone, anyway, the uncle's face was ugly when he entered the room, Xu Lian pinched Cheng Donggang so that he wouldn't be too obvious!

Zhao Xiaomei looked at the juniors and said: "You guys eat slowly, there are steel jumps in the dumplings, don't grind your teeth!"

"Ah, old aunt, how many did you put in?" Lin Tianlei who just took a bite of the dumpling quickly chewed it slowly.

"Just one, depending on who is lucky, you can eat it!" Their family puts steel springs in the dumplings every year when they make Chinese New Year dumplings. Lin Tianyou has eaten them for two consecutive years.

Hearing Zhao Xiaomei's words, everyone ate slowly, so as not to hurt their teeth. Lin Tianyou ate one after another, his stomach was distended, and he continued to eat, but Lin Xueer was very calm. Said: "Well, I'm the lucky one today, I got it!" She took out the steel bun and showed it to everyone.

Lin Tianyou put down his chopsticks, and sighed: "If you know that I won't be able to eat this year, I won't eat so much, it will kill me!"

"You're full, don't leave the table early," Mother Lin couldn't help but scolded her son.

Mr. Cheng said: "Eat a piece of pig's trotter, God bless you, too."

"Grandpa, I really can't eat anymore," Lin Tianyou patted his stomach, and there was already a sound of thumping.

"You can eat a small piece less, and eat pig's trotters during the Chinese New Year, so you can earn money in the coming year!"

"Okay, I'll eat a piece, so I can make more money next year!" Lin Tianyou picked out the smallest piece of pig's trotter and began to chew on it.

After dinner, Lin Tianyou and his group of juniors kowtowed to their grandpa and grandma to pay New Year greetings, and the two old people handed out red envelopes to the children one by one.

When the bell rang at 12 o'clock, Lin Tianyou's cell phone rang too. He got up and went to the yard to answer the phone: "Hello!"

"Daughter-in-law, happy new year!"

Lin Tianyou smiled and said, "Happy New Year!"

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Shou Sui! What about you?"

"Same, I just finished giving out red envelopes to the juniors!"

"Hehe, your generation has reached the point of giving out red envelopes, and I was still receiving red envelopes just now!"

"Yeah, did the old man give you a red envelope?"

"Yeah, grandpa is bleeding a lot today?"

"When you come to my house, you have to prepare red envelopes. There are quite a few juniors!"

"Okay, anyway, you will prepare the money!"

Jian Yousi was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "Daughter-in-law, I miss you!"

"We'll see each other after a year!"

"I'll go back early!" Jian Yousi said suddenly, Lin Tianyou was startled, this man is really crazy, what is he thinking!

"No, you stay at home for the New Year honestly for me, and you are not allowed to come back early before going to work!"

"Daughter-in-law, you don't love me anymore!"

Lin Tianyou rolled his eyes: "Don't be so naive, I...", Lin Tianyou heard someone talking to Jian Yousi, so he didn't continue talking.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll call you tomorrow!"

"Okay." After confirming that Lin Tianyou had hung up the phone, Jian Yousi looked at the visitor.

"Youji, can we talk?"

"Yu Meiling, I have nothing to discuss with you. If you don't want to be kicked out now, you'd better be honest!" After Jian Yousi finished speaking, he ignored the people standing there, and went straight downstairs.

"Xiao Liu, who did you call!" Jian Youchuan, Jian Yousi's fifth brother, came over and asked.

"Fifth brother, call my wife!" Fifth brother knew about his relationship with Tianyou, so Jian Yousi didn't intend to hide it from him.

"Hey, Xiao Liu finally found a wife? When will you bring it back for my brothers to see?"

"I will definitely bring it back this year for you to see!"

Jian Youchuan has been in the army for many years, with a hearty personality, and his age is not too different from Jian Yousi. Married that woman... Jian Yousi looked upstairs, and took Fifth Brother to drink.

There were a lot of people on Lin Tianyou's side who watched the year at first, but then they couldn't do it anymore, and everyone was sleepy and went to bed, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he also climbed into bed at two o'clock in the morning and went to sleep.

Since the third year of middle school, the Lin family has been in constant contact, and neighbors and folks have begun to visit, and the Lin family is no exception. Cheng Hao and his younger siblings are also going to visit the homes of the seven aunts and eight aunts!

Jian Yousi often called Lin Tianyou, sometimes chatting for more than half an hour, sometimes chatting for a few minutes, telling each other how much he misses each other!

What Lin Tianyou didn't know was that Jian's house in Beijing, which was thousands of miles away, was indeed filled with gunpowder. Si plans to tell his family about Lin Tianyou and himself!
