"Okay, I won't talk to you about these things. I'll go to the kitchen to see what's going on." The mother and son stood at the door and talked for a while. Mrs. Qiao was thinking about the things in the kitchen, so she went to the kitchen. up.
Qiao Minglang and his cousins posted couplets at his second uncle and fifth uncle's house, walked towards the uncle's house, saw his big brother standing at the door, and asked with a smile what his cousin was doing here.
Qiao Mingshan just shook his head and said nothing, but he was still thinking about what his aunt said just now.
It took a whole morning for them to post the couplets of several companies.
For the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, several families sat together to eat, and now their family had to spread two more tables for the New Year's Eve dinner, and four tables were fully covered to be able to sit down.
Their old lady left a few years ago, and now only the old man is left.
The old man sat in the first seat and drank and ate with his sons and grandchildren. Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao all had white hair. Now that their children have grown up, a room full of grandsons and granddaughters run around.
Today is the holiday, when these brothers get together, it is inevitable that they will drink a little wine.
Qiao Mingshan briefly mentioned what he learned from his mother today to a few brothers to let everyone know that there is such a thing.Qiao Mingyong was straightforward, and when he knew about this, he said angrily on the spot: "It's good for this kind of person to be caught and shot, but it's a disaster to keep him in the world."
"I remember that he is the same age as Mingyong. He is also 31 this year. He is [-] after the Chinese New Year? Something happened." Qiao Mingjing replied.
The brothers of the Qiao family don't like that cousin, and they have never had any contact with that cousin. Now they are not surprised to hear that he killed someone with a car, but they feel sorry for the man who was killed by the car. .
Hearing what these cousins said, Qiao Minglang didn't say anything.
After a while, the two of them went to the balcony outside, and Qiao Minglang asked him what the hall brother thinks about this matter.
Qiao Mingshan shook his head, sighed, and said, "I'll go to that family to have a look at some time after the Chinese New Year." In fact, he didn't want to care about this kind of thing either. The affairs of the family are handled by their Feng family members, and they cannot be taken care of by their Qiao family members.
But no matter what, he still remembers in his heart the time when their family was the poorest. It was thanks to him working in the shop of his uncle's house that he could bring hundreds of dollars home every month, so that their family People eat a meal of meat every now and then.His wife couldn't give birth to her first child, so she was sent to the health center in the town to give birth. At that time, thanks to his little salary, the family could afford the money for his wife to give birth.
"Well, if you need me to go with you, just tell me." Qiao Minglang said.
"We'll talk about it at that time. Let's not talk about these things during the Chinese New Year." Qiao Mingshan reached out and patted his cousin on the shoulder, and the two of them went back into the house from the outside.
At this moment, everyone has already forgotten what they just said, and they are still drinking inside.
The TV in the house is playing, and now a small building has been built at home, and a color TV is placed in the living room downstairs and upstairs.
It happened to be an entertainment news scene, a big star wearing a mask came out of the airport protected by a group of bodyguards, and a group of little girls were shouting crazily outside.
Just when the corner of his eye caught sight of the TV screen, Qiao Mingyong said, "Nowadays, what are the girls doing when they are full? What celebrities are they chasing all day long? What is there to chase after these celebrities?"
"It's as if you didn't like female celebrities when you were young. I still remember that there were many posters of that female celebrity in your house before. What's their name?" Qiao Mingliang still remembered that this younger brother also He had chased after a female star, and it was a long time, and he couldn't remember the name of that female star all of a sudden.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense about such old things!" Qiao Mingyong rushed over to cover his second brother's mouth. He is married now. If his wife hears, he may You can't even get in the door of the house.
A group of people burst into laughter, exposing each other's shortcomings.
Only when Qiao Minglang looked up at the TV, he saw the person in the middle protected by the bodyguards, even though it was just a side face blocked, he still recognized the person inside at a glance.
But even if he knew where that person was, so what?
Picking up the glass in front of him, he drank the last sip of the wine in one gulp, held it in his mouth, felt the bitter taste with the tip of his tongue, moved his throat, and swallowed it slowly.
That night, a group of people drank very late and dispersed, and all of them were taken back by their daughter-in-law until they were drunk. Of course, these men were inevitably scolded by their own daughter-in-law.
Hearing the sound of the door opening at night, Sanmei Qiao ran out of the balcony with her clothes on, and shouted to the people below, "Brother, are you back?"
"Well, I'm the one who came back." Hearing the voice, Qiao Minglang looked up upstairs, saw their little girl standing outside, and said, "Why haven't you slept yet? It's cold outside, go inside quickly .”
"Oh." Qiao Sanmei responded, and when she saw her brother had entered the house, she turned around and went in.The three sisters were still awake. They were still talking in the room just now. Qiao Xiaohui saw her sister coming in and asked, "Is the eldest brother back?"
"Well, yes, let's sleep." Third sister Qiao climbed onto the bed, she slept on the outside, their second sister slept in the middle, and the youngest sister slept in the innermost, so that both sisters could hug the second sister to sleep up.
The two sisters have quarreled a lot since they were young because of robbing their elder sister, and every time it became their second sister sleeping in the middle, and they slept on both sides before giving up.
Qiao Xiaohui has long been used to the childish behavior of the two younger sisters.Both of the younger sisters were brought up by her, and neither of them was willing to be beaten, but the youngest sister was naughty when she was a child, and she was often picked up and spanked by her.
***
The children live in the small building next door, and he lives alone in this room.
After turning on the light in the room, Qiao Minglang sat down on the recliner by the window, raised his hand on his forehead to cover his eyes.Sitting alone for a long time at night, when the alcohol subsided, he took his clothes and took a hot bath to wash away the alcohol smell on his body.
Just lying in bed at night, tossing and turning for a long time without falling asleep.
After turning over for a long time before falling asleep, and dreaming again, the next day I heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside.
This day is the first day of the new year, and many people will set off firecrackers on this morning.
Awakened by the sound of firecrackers, he will not be able to sleep much, and this morning everyone will have the first meal of the New Year together, so it is difficult for him to continue to sleep late.Sitting up from the bed, he stretched out his hand to massage his aching brain. If he knew that he shouldn't have drunk so much last night, Qiao Minglang couldn't help but regret it.
"Brother, brother..."
After sitting on the bed for a while, he heard the twins outside calling him.
After getting up from the bed and putting on the clothes hanging at the end of the bed, Qiao Minglang went to open the door, and saw his younger brothers and sisters who got up early at the door of his room.
"Brother, happy new year."
"Happy New Year."
The two twins became less and less alike as they grew up. Qiao Mingbao was a boy, and he looked like a boy when his face grew.Qiao Mingyu is a girl, and her facial features are softer, she looks like a girl, but her temper...it doesn't fit a girl at all.
Seeing his younger brothers and sisters coming so early in the morning, Qiao Minglang went to wash up, and then took everyone to their aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa and elders.
Grandpa Qiao prepared a stack of red envelopes to distribute lucky money to his grandchildren.
Knowing that grandpa's ears are not good, they have to speak loudly to grandpa's New Year's greetings, so they heard these children shouting auspicious words such as "Thank you grandpa, grandpa is in good health and live a long life", a Match one loudly.
"Okay, good, good, all good." Grandpa Qiao shook his hands and distributed lucky money to his grandsons and great-grandchildren. At this age, the old man has almost lost all his teeth. He usually walks with a cane, and his legs and feet are not very good. .
A house full of grandchildren, Mrs. Qiao and Uncle Qiao, they also prepared lucky money to distribute to the children.
"I have it too, thank you aunt and erniang."
Qiao Minglang also got the lucky money from the elders. Every year, the aunt and the second mother gave the lucky money to the children, and he was indispensable. He accepted it with a smile, and said a few words of auspicious blessings to the elders.
"Yes, yes, those who are not married are children, and they all have lucky money." Aunt Qiao cheerfully gave out lucky money to everyone, and each of the unmarried nephews and nieces gave one.
The married cousins and sisters-in-law also distributed the prepared lucky money to everyone.
Qiao Minglang cheekily accepted the New Year's money given by his cousins and sisters-in-law. In the end, it was two more red envelopes than his younger brothers and sisters. He got two lucky money, which made him a little dumbfounded, but he still accepted the old man's eccentricity.
Basically, after a round of New Year's money is distributed to everyone every year, his grandfather will give him one or two New Year's money.
"It's not fair!" Qiao Sanmei saw that her brother had two more New Year's money than her, and she almost went back to find her grandfather to ask for two more. In the end, she was slapped down by her second sister, so she didn't dare to make trouble.
But the brothers and sisters were just joking around, and Sanmei Qiao didn't really dare to ask her grandpa for two extra New Year's money.However, because her elder brother had two more lucky money than them, and the total amount of lucky money was more than them, Sanmei Qiao still felt a little resentful.
The children kept their New Year's money by themselves, and the New Year's money that several two- and three-year-old children took was taken away by their mothers in a blink of an eye, leaving them only two small New Year's money in their pockets.
"Okay, okay, let's have breakfast." Aunt Qiao shouted over there.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, a group of children received a wave of lucky money, and they all happily sat next to the adults to eat the first breakfast of the new year. Even the young ones ate very well today, which made the adults They saved a lot of heart.
Several families sat together to eat, and everyone was talking while eating, with smiles on their faces...
