Pamper Eighties

The weather is getting colder and the New Year is getting closer and closer. As the New Year is approaching, people in the village are actively preparing for the New Year. They planted watermelons and entertained tourists last year. Every household made a lot of money. Of course, they have to enjoy themselves. The only enjoyment they can think of is to buy something delicious, easy to wear, and easy to use. Now it's cheaper than the old Feng family's canteen, and even the old Zhang family's newly opened clothing store. , and also earned a fortune under the care of the villagers.

The villagers not only like to buy things, but also make many snacks for the Chinese New Year by themselves. The fragrance from each household is different. These fragrances gather in the sky of Taoyuan Village, as if to tell everyone who smells it. Fragrance people say that the New Year is coming.

During Chinese New Year, the little dolls in the village are the happiest. During the Chinese New Year, adults pay attention to auspiciousness and will never beat or scold the little dolls at home during the Chinese New Year. They can be naughty and put on new clothes. , Eat a lot of delicious snacks, the most important thing is that they can play like crazy, and no one cares about them, so they run around in the village all day long, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. Cheerful laughter was left in every corner of the village.

At this moment, the little dolls cheered and ran past the primary school in the village, and suddenly found that the old principal's house next door was full of people. Many adults and children were gathered in the yard, wondering what they were looking at. The little dolls suddenly became curious. Heart, there is such a liveliness to see, of course they will not let it go, they rushed into the old principal's house, like a loach, desperately squeezed into the crowd, squeezed all the way to the front, and saw the old principal's hand Holding a brush, he leaned over and painted on the red paper on the table. It turned out that the old principal was writing couplets.

The villagers all know that the old principal, Chang Huaide, is the most literate person in the village. He was a devolved old professor. It is said that he is very famous in Beijing. Unfortunately, his family is gone, and he doesn't want to be anymore. After returning to Beijing, he simply stayed in Taoyuan Village and became the principal of the primary school. It has been more than ten years. The villagers have long regarded him as a member of the village. Now the environment is relaxed, and the villagers can post couplets. Beg the old principal to help them write a few couplets.

The old principal was also very easy-going, so he happily agreed, and he set up a posture in the yard on the spot. Anyone who brought red paper would write it down, and he could also make poems for the villagers on the spot, such as this meeting. A villager licked his face and said, "Old Principal, today is New Year's Eve, and I don't have any big wishes. I just hope that my family will get rich and rich again next year. Write me a couplet for getting rich, just Write my words on it."

"Hahahaha, don't you have a big wish?" The old principal joked with a smile, and said cheerfully: "Okay, your wish is pretty good, then I'll write you a big fortune and it's smooth sailing, let's go. What do you think, are you satisfied?"

The villager rubbed his hands together happily and said, "Oh, old principal, you really deserve to be a literate person. Letting you change like this sounds much better than making a fortune like me. Then please help me write it, thank you."

The other villagers also liked this couplet very much. Now that the reform and opening up, making a fortune is their most simple wish. They also asked the old principal to write this sentence for them. Different tricks were written for each family, and the words on the couplets were different, but the meaning inside and outside of the words was to make a fortune, making the villagers happy.

Feng Yimin was also standing in the crowd, holding Xiao Mengmeng in his hand. When he saw that everyone had written almost, he said, "Old Principal, you can also write a couplet for my family, and then give it to our brigade. Write a picture on the door."

"Okay, I'll write it for you right away." The old principal narrowed his eyes for a while, then picked up a pen and started writing on the red paper.

Mengmeng's heart was so curious that she broke free from her father's hand and ran to the front of the table. I didn't understand, so I opened my big ignorant eyes and said, "Grandpa Chang, what did you write?"

"It's Mengmeng, come over here and I'll tell you." Chang Huaide beckoned Mengmeng to come to him, he picked up the couplet on the table, pointed to the words on it and said, "Best time is good for the present, The country is new through the ages, and this horizontal batch is the renewal of Vientiane. With reform and opening up, we farmers have hope in life, and it will definitely get better and better in the future, Mengmeng, your generation, you can enjoy happiness in the future."

Mengmeng heard that this was a good word, so she happily clapped her little hands and said, "That's great, I like this couplet."

The people in the village couldn't help laughing happily when they saw Mengmeng's cute little appearance. Feng Yimin rolled up the two couplets and put them away, then he waved to Mengmeng and said, "My dear, Daddy. I'm taking you home to post the couplet, come, hold Dad's hand."

Mengmeng obediently took her father's hand and walked back home. When her father moved out of the house and took out the bench, she stood at the door and commanded: "Dad, a little bit on the left, no, a little bit on the right. , that's right, that's right there, okay, post."

Under the command of his daughter, Feng Yimin posted the couplet not long after, he took a few steps back and looked at the characters on the couplet. Linmen, the meaning is quite good, and he also hopes that the life at home will be the same as the couplet said, and the more prosperous it is, the better it will be.

Mengmeng also stood beside his leg and raised her head, and looked at it in a proper manner. She was not looking at the words on the couplet, but at their house, a black volcanic stone house with red and colorful stickers on it. On the Spring Festival couplets, there are still two big red lanterns tied by her grandfather at the door. It looks so festive and beautiful. This is her home.

Feng Yimin had to go to the brigade to post couplets, so he pushed her from behind and said, "Mengmeng, you go home first, and Dad will be back in a while."

Mengmeng jumped and ran back to the yard, and was instantly attracted to the kitchen by the strong aroma. She stood at the door and looked inside curiously, and found that her grandmother and her mother were busy in the kitchen. She smelled just now. The aroma comes from the stove.

Madam Feng turned around inadvertently, and saw how little she was, the smile on her face immediately flowed from her heart, but instead of calling Mengmeng in, she waved her out: "Mengmeng is good Oh, there is too much oil smoke in the kitchen, you have already taken a bath and put on new clothes, don't come in and get dirty, you go to the main room and wait, the New Year's Eve dinner will be ready soon."

In order to prevent Mengmeng from being so hungry, Madam Feng and Su Wan also speeded up their cooking. Before dusk, her family's New Year's Eve dinner was ready and placed one by one in the main room. also gathered.

The big baby and the second baby both finished taking a shower and put on new clothes. When they saw so many good dishes on the table, they only felt that their eyes were not enough. The second baby also exclaimed in amazement: "It's so rich, so many. Delicious, and soda, which is really good haha.”

Madam Feng smiled smugly and said: "After today is the New Year, our family did a good job last year, and we can't do it like before. The New Year's Eve dinner is the most important thing. If you have anything delicious at home, you have to greet it. Look at these dishes, there are fish, shrimp, crabs and shells. I also stewed abalone for each of you. You want to eat chicken, duck and goose. There are also both. There are also wild rabbit meat and fragrant elk meat that Huzi just hunted today. That is, there are relatively few vegetables. We only have Chinese cabbage, white radish and eggplant in winter. I will cook them all for you. Come on, your grandfather also bought a box of orange soda from the provincial capital, come here, open a bottle each, let's have a good New Year's Eve dinner today, and hope that our family will have a better life in the coming year than this year. , Everyone has made progress, especially the three dolls. Erba, you should go to school after the new year. You and your elder brother will study hard for me. In the future, I will try to come back as a champion. Mengmeng, you must be safe and happy. When you grow up, your brothers have all gone to school, so grandma can concentrate on taking you."

After Su Wan set the tableware and chopsticks for everyone, she sat down. Seeing so many rich dishes, she seemed to have returned to her youthful years in a trance. How many years have passed, she originally thought that she would never have the opportunity to eat so good in this life. She had already eaten food, but she didn't expect to eat it again so soon. She felt both comfort and sadness in her heart. She had a better life, but her relatives who didn't know where they were, didn't know where they were at the moment. What has she been living? Thinking of this, she stopped her thoughts in time, she couldn't think about these unhappy things during the Chinese New Year, so she smiled brightly and said, "It's only been a few years since the reform and opening up, we ordinary people just To be able to live such a good life is a blessing brought to us by reform and opening up, and it is also a blessing from our ancestors, parents, I am here to wish you a prosperous New Year, good health, and all the best."

Madam Feng narrowed her eyes and said, "It's okay, you and Yimin are doing well. You are doing well in school, and Yimin is doing well as the village head. Our whole family must be doing well. You and I are doing well. Dad is all about making more money, and we'll have a better year next year."

Old Man Feng saw such a festive scene, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. If he hadn't become a self-employed person, how could his family have such a good life? A year ago, he never dreamed of such a life. , I have both hope and responsibility in my heart, and thousands of words have converged into one sentence: "The old lady is right, let's work hard next year, and strive to make our family live better, come and come, let's bring the soda Get up, let's have a good drink of it."

"Cheers, Happy New Year~" The Feng family members happily raised their orange sodas, clinked their glasses, and drank this sweet orange soda. They all raised their eyebrows.

The three little dolls of the Feng family are the happiest. They wear beautiful and clean new clothes, eat a hearty and delicious New Year's Eve dinner, fill their stomachs with satisfaction, and have New Year's money to take.

It was completely dark outside, and there was the sound of the little dolls playing from the alley. They were scrambling and roaring past the door of Lao Feng's house, and someone could still be heard shouting for the big baby and the second baby. As for the name, if it was in the past, the big baby and the second baby would have run out immediately, but today they are sitting firmly on the chair in the main room, waiting for the adults in the family to give it. They give out New Year's money.

They waited in the room, and their mouths were not idle. The Eight Immortals table in front of them was full of food, including orange candy, lard candy, bubble gum, mung bean cake, digital cake, chocolate, etc. sold in the canteen. Wait, wait, there are all kinds of small snacks made at home, which are even more numerous.

The three little dolls were sitting around the table, and the little mouth was not idle for a moment. Although they all had a very full dinner, the little dolls still had an appetite for snacks, and the three of them had enough to eat. It's like three little squirrels. They keep holding their hands and chewing in their mouths. They eat so much that their cheeks are bulging. They just feel that the best day is the New Year. Soon the table is full of piles. All kinds of wrapping paper and melon seeds and husks.

The adults in the family packed up and took a bath. When they walked to the main room, they saw three greedy cats like this. They felt angry and funny in an instant. When has the family suffered from these children, Mengmeng is too young and ignorant , The big baby and the second baby are both school-going people. If it wasn't for the New Year's Eve to talk about them, Mrs. Feng would have to give them a hard lesson to save them from being too greedy.

The adults came in, and the little dolls also stopped to eat. They all opened their big round eyes, looked at the adults at home with a smile, and invariably shouted auspicious words: "Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, and New Year's money. come~"

Several adults were amused by them, and the old lady Feng tapped the big baby on the head and said with a smile: "You little monkeys, where did you learn this? Just shout at home. Well, you can't shout like this when you go out, how can anyone ask for lucky money in front of you? Are you ashamed?"

Da Wa knew that his grandmother would not teach him a lesson during the Chinese New Year, so he dared to say: "Nah, we heard this sentence on the radio, don't worry, we won't go out and talk about it, just ask our family for New Year's money, nanny. , how much is the New Year's money for us this year? Hey hey hey."

Before Mrs. Feng could answer, footsteps sounded outside the house. It turned out that the second and third family came to the door with their dolls. Before the grandchildren had reached the main room, they shouted auspiciously: "Damn! , Happy New Year, congratulations on making a fortune, bring the lucky money~"

Madam Feng couldn't hold back this time, and laughed outright: "Okay, so you all made an appointment, you can't talk nonsense when you go out, do you know? Come on, I'll give you a red envelope each, and take it carefully, but Don't lose it."

Mrs. Feng's red envelopes this year are very generous. She directly took out an iron box and took out red paper seals one after another. Each seal was bulging and it looked like a big stack. The dolls were holding them in hand The top is also heavy.

Mengmeng was the first to get the red envelope. She happily smiled her little face into a dumpling. Her two little hands flexibly opened the red envelope and took out a thick stack of ten dollars. She knows the money, it is the biggest money, how much money is there?

The brothers were also very happy to get the red envelopes. They opened the red envelopes and saw that they were thick and big, more than Mengmeng. They were all new money, and there was actually a whole Xiao Zha, the big baby quickly counted them, and found that there were a total of 100 cards, which is a full dollar. He was so surprised that he almost jumped up on the spot, and quickly told the good news to his younger brothers, a few little boys. They were so happy that they got the red envelopes given by other adults, grabbed a handful of small snacks and put them in their pockets and ran out to play.

Mengmeng counted for a long time, but she couldn't figure out how much money it was. She followed the way of her brothers and broke her fingers. At the end of the count, even she was confused. Seeing the old lady Feng laughing, she decided not to tease her anymore, and told her directly: "Mengmeng, grandma gave you the biggest portion of the New Year's money. There are 20 pieces in total, and there are 200 yuan. You Are you happy to get so much money?"

Mengmeng has watched her family do business since she was a child. She still knows how much money has more money and less money. Two hundred yuan is definitely much more than one dollar for her brothers. She nodded her head excitedly and said, "Haha, I'm so happy, I have money, Huzi will bring it."

She said vaguely, but Hu Zi understood what she meant. It ran out of the house quickly, and ran back in a while with a red cloth pocket in her mouth. She didn't know where Hu Zi hid the red cloth pocket. Where, it has been a year, the color of the red cloth pocket is still so bright, and the money inside is all good, just like the one just put in, usually no one in the family can find a place for Huzi to hide the money, really. I don't know how it can be hidden so secretly.

Mengmeng took the red cloth pocket and poured all the banknotes inside on the table. There are still a lot of good guys, including the New Year's money that Mengmeng received last year, and the private money she earned from tourists halfway through. , She doesn't usually have a place to spend money, so she saved all of it. She couldn't count it herself, so she pouted and coquettishly said to her grandma, "Milk, help me count."

Madam Feng happily helped her count the money, and stacked them one by one and said, "My dear baby has a lot of money in her private house. It used to be more than 100 yuan, and this time it is more than 200 yuan, and there are three It's more than 100 yuan, and we Mengmeng are also rich people, it's amazing."

Zhao Chunhua also smiled and said: "We Mengmeng learned to save money at such a young age, and when they grow up, they will definitely be people who can live a good life. It's really promising."

Chen Hongmei came in just now and didn't go out again. She sat on the chair next to her and watched her mother-in-law help Mengmeng to count the money. Her mother-in-law was also very partial, and gave her granddaughter 200 yuan of New Year's money. One dollar was sealed, and her family's five and six children only got one dollar. She saw such a thick stack of money just now, and she thought how much was the total, but it turned out to be only one dollar, which is a big difference. When she went, she was almost so jealous in her heart, but then she thought, the girl in her belly will soon be able to get so much New Year's money, so she touched her belly and laughed again.

Old Madam Feng saw her weasel-like smile in a blink of an eye, she curled her lips and felt a little disliked in her heart, and her tone of voice also carried a hint of disgust: "It's too late, you all go back to your own house to keep the year old. Go, especially from your third family, the day after tomorrow will be the second day of the new year, if you want to go back to your parents' house, you have to pay attention to your body."

Chen Hongmei was immediately happy. Her mother-in-law really started to care about her, so she said in a virtuous voice, "Mom, I won't go back this year. I'm pregnant. It's inconvenient to walk such a long mountain road."

Chen Hongmei hummed coldly in her heart. She went back to her parents' house to give money. She is not that stupid now. Her family's men bought so many goods from the south, and they made more than 8,000 yuan when they sold them. It's almost ten thousand yuan. After this, wow, it's more important to live a good life in her own family. She is still thinking about what to do with her family's gang. When her family's man got divorced, her family didn't tell her about it. A good word, her heart is completely cold, and she is not willing to go back at all.

Madam Feng didn't care what she thought, she was a daughter-in-law who had separated from the family, and her mother's family was a distant relative, so Madam Feng didn't need to be polite to them, she just didn't care. Said: "Whatever you want, come back if you like."

Chen Hongmei couldn't see her mother-in-law's dislike at all, and she held her stomach and leaned on the chair. She rubbed her belly and suddenly felt a move, and suddenly asked Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, third aunt asked you something. , Look at the little sister in my belly, doesn't she look like you?"

The words were so thick-skinned that Madam Feng couldn't help turning her head to stare at her. Her eyes moved to the belly of the third family. The pointy belly must be a boy inside, scoff, this old man The three families still want to give birth to a daughter? Want to look like Mengmeng? Bah, the dream comes sooner, and with her looks like Chen Hongmei, she is a little better than ordinary people, and she is far from beautiful. Recently, she was pregnant, and she was eating hard to gain weight, didn't she? Less, it looks more clumsy, it is absolutely impossible to give birth to such a beautiful doll as Mengmeng.

Mengmeng tilted her head and looked at her third aunt's belly, and after a while, she said, "Brother is inside."

Chen Hongmei immediately became unhappy, and said anxiously, "How could it be a younger brother? Mengmeng, quickly say it is a younger sister."

Madam Feng's face was completely darkened. She had not intended to be shameless to the third family when she was a new year old. She didn't expect her to be so shameless, so don't blame her for being rude, she immediately responded. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Old third family, when you are pregnant, hurry up and stay home. What are you talking about with a little baby Mengmeng, are your brains stuffed into your belly? Or Eaten by the baby in your belly? Hurry home and watch the new year, don't talk nonsense here."

Chen Hongmei blushed, her man was already staring at her gloomily beside her, she quickly stood up, and followed her man back in despair.
