Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

This year, my father-in-law and my sister and brother-in-law were all here during the Chinese New Year, so the family discussed it and decided that my grandfather’s family and my uncle’s family would not open the fire for cooking, and they would all come to the Yang family’s side for dinner.

The whole family was sitting in the hall, but only one child from my uncle's family seemed a little deserted. So during the meal, Yang's mother kept looking at Zhou Ya, which made Zhou Ya blush and dare not look up.

Then Yang's mother glared at her son fiercely. She should blame her son for this matter. A few years ago, he had said that he would get married early, but his son refused to agree and kept delaying it until now, which caused her great harm.

If he doesn't have a grandson now, who should he blame for not behaving well?

Yang Dongxu lowered his head to eat with a wink, never interrupting, and continued cautiously until the end of the New Year's Eve dinner. When everyone was watching TV together, he found that everyone's attention was attracted by the Spring Festival Gala, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

, and then winked at Zhou Ya, who gave him a pair of white eyes.

Not long after the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiaowu called him to play cards. Not only did he call, Yang's father also came over to call. Playing cards at the end of the year can be said to have become more and more common in recent years.

There are a lot of gadgets on the streets during normal times, but the atmosphere in Yangjiacun is not bad. In addition, the Yang family used methods against Ma Liu, Waizi, etc. So far, although Yangjiacun has become rich, it has not

People have the guts to build a casino or something.

The night of New Year's Eve was a bit too much, but I had enough money in my pocket to be able to play bank, so the outcome of winning or losing was just a matter of going home and being scratched a few times by my wife.

If you dare to lose everything like before, your family will not be able to survive. Such people will be despised in Yangjiacun. In the future, we will not call such people when playing cards, and we will despise dealing with such people.

It's embarrassing to play cards together.

Originally, playing cards was an entertainment project to pass the time. I would be happy if I could win. If I lost in MMP, I would consider myself unlucky. Then everyone would continue to play happily without any problems.

I have nothing to do all year round and play occasionally. I win and lose, but it’s more or less just entertainment. Everyone understands that if you want to win big from the beginning, you can let it go on New Year’s Eve. If you win money, you can still use it as a New Year’s gift.

If you win a lottery, you are lucky and you will win. At most, others will say a few words of envy.

But in order to win money, you have to take out all the money you have to live at home. This is not just betting on luck. This is obviously a gambler. Such a person will be directly classified into the ranks of gangsters. Who in a good family would want to bet on gangsters?

Sub-adhesion relationship?

This will not only make people gossip, but it will probably also affect your reputation. If your own children are married in the future, when others ask about it, oh... is it the family that often gambles with gangsters? Will the other party be willing to marry their daughter?

?Or if you hear that, you will marry the daughter of such a family?

It is precisely because of this bottom line that everyone plays cards appropriately on New Year's Eve. In addition, no one comes to cause trouble. Those who win money the next day will be shouted at to treat them, and those who lose money will be teased.

My hands were stinky and my mother-in-law went to the card table without washing her hands after finishing her errands. In short, the atmosphere was mostly joyful.

Yang Dongxu has occasionally played cards over the years, and even played banker when promoting Pai Gow. But basically it was just a small game, and he didn't use the tricks he learned from Old Man Xuan. He had fun whether he lost or won.

He said hello to Zhou Ya and asked her to watch TV here. At twelve o'clock, he would come back early to welcome the New Year and then have a meal of New Year's dumplings.

If they get bored watching TV, they can also join a table and play mahjong to play Landlords or something like that. This is a family program reserved for the New Year. Adults take their children to play, and the 50 cents can be used as pocket money for the children.

Occasionally, adults are so lucky that they win all the children's money, and then the children start to do all kinds of tricks to get back the lost money, and the family has fun and spends New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, there are no children at home now, so I and I

My sister is already married, and Dandan will get married next year, so this repertoire cannot be performed.

When we arrived at the granary, it was already overcrowded. Not only people from Yangjia Village, but also people from neighboring villages who wanted to play a few games came over.

Looking at the smoky atmosphere in the granary, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, "If you call the police station to report it at this time, how many people here will spend the New Year's Day in a board house?"

As soon as this thought came up, he looked at the people in the card game in front of him. He shook his head and drove the thought out of his head. If someone really reported him, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.

My uncle arrived much earlier than he could have, and now he has taken off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. Father Yang didn’t go anywhere else after he arrived, and the spectators behind him took the initiative to make room for him.

In the past few years, when Shengli played cards on New Year's Eve, he liked to drag his eldest brother, Yang's father, to help him, which meant that the two of them formed a partnership. It was said that he was borrowing his eldest brother's wealth, but in fact, he was afraid that he would be controlled by his wife.

The tight waist bag is a bit astringent, but my elder brother has enough money in his pocket.

Those who can win money at the card table are those who are confident, and there is a little bit of metaphysics in them. Of course, those who lose even if they lose their pants are also confident people. Poor people who have no money want to break a coin into two

Petal Flower, I don’t even have the guts to go to the poker field.

The older group, him and the younger group like Xiao Wu, formed the two largest crowds in the granary. If someone really reported this, they would definitely bring trouble to Yangjiacun...

...

When we played until around 11:30, we ended up going home and fired off the cannons and closed the cannons to prepare for the New Year. Since we are getting married this year, Dad Yang invited a hundred pounds of incense to be burned at the new house.

The tributes are first placed in three places: the main room, the courtyard and the kitchen. In addition to the tributes, incense is also burned in these three places. The incense burned in the main room is dedicated to the god who protects the family. This god may be a legendary dragon or other gods.

, in short, every family believes that it has a patron saint.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So after everyone has worked hard for a year, they must have delicious food for New Year's Eve. I hope that my protector will continue to work hard in the coming year and continue to maintain a happy family.

Xiao Jian is healthy and safe.

The people in the yard naturally respect God. In Chinese people’s minds, the gods in heaven will patrol the world on New Year’s Eve, so they put out tributes and incense so that these gods who patrol the world can have something to eat and rest when they pass by their homes.

.

The kitchen is prepared for the Stove Lord, but the treatment for the Stove Lord is a bit low. Although there are incense sticks, they are all small ones, and there are very few tributes. Usually it is just a bowl of dumplings just out of the pot and a steamed bun.

It's not as rich as the tributes prepared for the gods in the main hall and the courtyard.

Because there are two houses now, it is natural to go to both places when placing offerings. Mother Yang has prepared the tributes and placed them in the new house, so just put them on a plate and place them directly on the table.

Then start lighting incense and setting off cannons. When the cannon sounds, the dumplings begin to be laid. Then the dumplings that are cooked first are also placed on the offering table. The chopsticks should be placed on the main seat in the north with the chopsticks facing away.

Both the god who protects the family and God are senior to me, so there is no problem in sitting at the main seat to eat. On the altar tables in the main room and the courtyard are two bowls of dumplings, two steamed buns, and two glasses of wine.

My patron saint is not one but a couple. God must be a couple, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. As for the Stove Lord, well, a bachelor who has been single for ten thousand years only has a bowl of dumplings and a steamed bun...

There is also a kitchen in the new house. Although there is no fire unless the house is divided, there was a fire on New Year's Eve. There was no floor pot but a gas stove. This made Yang's mother very dissatisfied when it was originally designed.

But after the house was built and renovated, it was really inappropriate to build a pot and dig a hole in the house to build a chimney in such a high-end place, so Yang Dongxu did not continue to be taught a lesson.

Although there was no separation, there were only two people in the new house today, Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya. Yang Dongxu was busy moving the table, setting out offerings and burning incense, while Zhou Ya was putting dumplings into the boiling pot when the cannon sounded.

Then after preparing the portions of the God of Protection, God and the Stove Lord, what is left is the first dumpling meal for the two of them in the New Year. As for the steamed buns, it is customary to take a bite to signify that they have eaten. There is not much left after the New Year's Eve dinner.

For an hour, no one actually has much appetite now.

After dinner, Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya went to take a look at the house on the street. They went over to show their faces and say hello, and then they returned to their new house together. The incense was burning here and it was inseparable from people.

Zhou Ya yawned non-stop and went to the bedroom to sleep. Yang Dongxu looked at the incense inside and outside the house. He was not afraid of being robbed. Who dares to compete with the gods for incense? Isn't this because he is impatient?

The main thing is to prevent the incense from causing any accidents and burning down my home. There are countless fires caused by burning incense every New Year's Eve. It is better to be more prepared. After all, although the main building materials in the house are stones and bricks, the furniture is not

But they are all made of solid wood. If this thing is burned, the flame temperature will be much more powerful than the firewood used to burn a pot.

As for staying up late on New Year's Eve is very important in the eyes of the older generation, in the eyes of the younger generation, if they don't want to look at the incense, most of them will probably choose to go to bed.

I stayed up until after two o'clock at night and saw that the incense was only half burned, especially the incense in the main room filled the whole room with smoke, making it feel like a fairyland.

Yang Dongxu moved the incense in the main room to the courtyard, and at the same time moved the incense in the kitchen. He didn't ask whether the Bao Family God and the Stove Lord were willing to give more than half of their incense to God.

It would be much safer to move the incense to the open space in the yard. After all, there was no grass around, and there was no wind tonight. But to be on the safe side, Yang Dongxu still surrounded the place where the incense was burned with bricks, and then went back to the house to take a bath and sleep.

, as for staying up late and seeing if I can last a little longer next year.

As soon as it dawned the next day, Yang Dongxu was woken up by Yang's father in his sleep. Women can continue to sleep, provided that no one of your generation comes to visit to pay New Year's greetings.

First, he went to his grandparents' house to wait. Seeing that his uncle Shengli was not there, Yang Dongxu went to the house to shout again. Then his two sons and two grandsons first paid New Year's greetings to their grandparents. He was already old and had no red envelopes in his pocket, so he was hit hard by his grandma.

A few handfuls of fried peanuts and melon seeds.

Then they gathered on the street, a large group of people sorted by age and a group of children began to greet the New Year family by family.
