Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

In the past few days before the new year, the Lu family slaughtered two big fat pigs at home.

I asked Lu Changzhong to come back and take away the half-baked pork trippers and send them to my father-in-law.

Before the wedding, the girl stopped coming to the house to celebrate the Spring Festival.

February 8, 1986, New Year's Eve.

Today is New Year's Eve.

At noon, Lu Changzhong hurried back.

I also brought back some new year goods.

It's nothing more than hairtail, frozen pears, and candied melon seeds.

The Lu family was overjoyed.

Brand new inside and out for a family of four.

This is the first time in so many years that the whole family wears new clothes and shoes during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Changhua no longer has any interest in setting off firecrackers during the New Year, but his eldest brother still thinks he should set off a few to suit the occasion.

Lu Changhua went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some small whips.

The firecrackers these days are mainly small whips with a hundred rings.

Big whips are not yet mainstream.

The so-called big whip has a thousand blasts, with small hanging whips interspersed with marle seeds.

As soon as it is lit, it will be "crack, bang, bang~~~Crack, bang, bang~~~"

The two-kick kicker is also a cannon that kids love.

Some children won't put it down and often pick it up backwards.

A red paper cannon as thick as a thumb, with a twister underneath.

The correct way to burn it is to sit on the ground with the twisted side.

After lighting it, "dong~~~dah~~~"

The second kick shot straight from the ground into the sky and exploded again in the air.

This kind of cannon is relatively expensive, and most people are reluctant to buy more. It is considered generous to buy four or five during the New Year.

The children also treasure it very much and are reluctant to let it go.

This all happened when we were eating dumplings at twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, and the adults said, "Just run away!"

The children at home ran to the yard and lit these cherished cannons.

Looking at the two kicks exploding in the night sky, the children's hearts were filled with joy and hope.

When the adults heard the firecrackers exploding in the yard, they served the dumplings.

Shout "Eat dumplings!"

The whole family rejoices, and this new year is celebrated in a meaningful way!

At that time, there was also a saying about firing cannons.

Few people directly strike a match to light it, because the match is an open flame, and the distance between people and firecrackers is too close, which can easily lead to danger.

Therefore, many people have invented various ignition methods.

The most common way to light a cigarette is to steal one or two cigarettes from an adult's cigarette case and light the cigarette first. Some children will pretend to take a few puffs, pretending to be a little adult, and then flick the cigarette when it is hot.

Ashes, use cigarette butts to light cannon twisters.

There are often a group of children around, and the kid who lit the cigarettes has dropped his cigarettes on the ground, and he doesn't always light them.

The scene of the escape was a lively one.

Another way to light the twist is to use incense.

Usually incense sticks are used.

It's a very fine fragrance.

This method is generally used by girls. One is that it is farther away and safer; the other is fragrant and light, more graceful and beautiful.

This year’s New Year’s Eve was different from previous years for the Lu family.

Children from all over the neighborhood ran to Lu's house. Who let Lu's house have a color TV?

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, every household lights a small whip.

Aunt Hu and Aunt Mao called their children to go home for dinner at the gate of the hospital.

How can you have a reunion dinner at someone else’s house?!

Hu Dagui is also on vacation today. He couldn't stay at home, so he walked around and came to Lu's house.

Several girls from the Mao family also didn't want to be at home.

The whole yard was buzzing with excitement.

It’s not a good idea to have anyone around for this meal.

Usually when having a reunion dinner, outsiders have to take the initiative to leave.

As soon as they left, the Lu family immediately became much richer.

As usual, ancestors are worshiped first.

In fact, the Lu family doesn’t even have a serious tablet.

Just put two candles and place a bowl of rice and vegetable bowls. This is considered the ancestor's memorial tablet.

According to the rules, Lao Lu and Mother Lu knelt down first and murmured in a low voice, saying that their ancestors would bless them for a good harvest in the coming year.

Next are the two brothers Lu Changzhong and Lu Changhua.

Lu Changhua knelt down and worshiped. The picture of his imaginary increase in luck did not appear again, which made him a little disappointed.

After the ancestor worship ceremony was over, the Lu family's New Year's Eve dinner began.

Highlights of this year's Spring Festival Gala are playing on the TV, and there are also previews on the news.

Lao Lu glanced at the TV screen and calmed down.

"It's the Chinese New Year, it's almost 86 years. A lot of things have happened to our family this year, and there have been great changes."

Lao Lu doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but that doesn't mean he can't speak.

Today at this home court, his mind suddenly opened up and he spoke eloquently and very well.

"The boss has a stable job, has a partner, and will start a family on May Day."

"The second son contracted the reservoir, and the harvest this year has been good, which has greatly improved our family's economic situation."

"Your mother raised two big fat pigs and completed the task."

"As for me, I received an official notice the day before yesterday that the canteen was disbanded. After the New Year, I will go to the city to open a restaurant and have a try!"

"There are many things going on in the family. Overall, there is progress and achievements. Next year our family will continue to work hard and achieve greater results!"

Lao Lu's concluding speech drew everyone's attention to the progress of the year, just like a movie.

"Here, cheers."

After drinking this glass of wine, Lu Changzhong quickly filled it up for his parents.

He didn't care whether his brother could drink it or not, and poured it on him.

"Let me say a few words."

It was rare for Mother Lu to speak.

Everyone looked at her.

"Ahem."

Mother Lu coughed, raised her wine glass and said, "What I have to say is that I wish the eldest son a successful marriage, the second son's fish harvest will be good, our family will get better and better, and your father's and I's restaurant will also be prosperous!"

"good!"

The guys held Mother Lu in their hands and drank the glass of wine.

Lu Changzhong still rushed to fill up the wine.

"Mom, Dad, brother, let me say something."

"The changes that have taken place in our family this year are beyond my expectation."

Lu Changzhong said with emotion.

"In the past, our family was an ordinary working-class family. I was criticized at work and not taken seriously, and our family didn't have much money."

"It has only been a year, and everything has changed. I will definitely work hard and do well in the future to repay my parents for raising me. Thank you for doing so much for me. Today is the New Year, and I have done this

A glass of wine, and everything goes without saying anything!”

"good!"

Lao Lu and Mother Lu were happy.

It's rare for the boss to say such temperamental words, it's him who has changed the most.

"Second brother, tell me."

Lao Lu looked at his youngest son.

"Me? I just hope that the whole family will be well, no one is missing. Our life will be better and better as time goes by!"

"Okay, my brother said it well."

"This child, don't miss anything!"

Mother Lu said angrily, complaining that her youngest son said something unlucky.

"There's nothing wrong with it, the better it gets, the better!"

The Lu family's reunion dinner was very ceremonial.

Whether it's worshiping ancestors or giving a toast, everyone has something unique to say.

After three glasses of wine, Lu Changhua's face turned red and he felt a little dizzy.

"Okay, if you can't drink it with your dick, don't drink it. Just make the point."

Lu Changhua put down his wine glass and changed the battlefield.

He took the frozen pears out of the basin, put them on the ice and put them on the table.

Mother Lu also put down her wine glass and ate pears with Lu Changhua.

The Lu family's wine shop broke up immediately.

Mother Lu made room on the table and brought out a plate of fresh sand fruits and a plate of slow-cooked frozen hawthorns.

"Haha, uncle, aunt, brother, happy New Year!"

Hu Dagui lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Happy New Year. It's a bit early to say goodbye this year. Have you eaten, Dagui? Have some more?"

When Mother Lu saw it was Hu Dagui, she quickly asked him to sit down and eat.

"Eat, aren't you here to watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

Lu Changhua moved his butt to the side.

He was not polite and sat down next to Lu Changhua.

When Xiong Bao saw Hu Dagui, he didn't get up. Instead, he wagged his tail, turned around and continued to chew on his big bone club.

Mo Bao and Taxue held ribs in their mouths and looked around with wary eyes.

When Lao Lu saw Hu Dagui coming, he drank the wine in one gulp.

"Then withdraw, they will be here soon."

Mother Lu took the dishes to the kitchen, while Lu Changzhong and Lu Changhua picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

Soon the table was cleared and mixed candies and melon seeds were placed.

Lao Lu took out the Monkey King jasmine tea that he was usually reluctant to drink.

Ask Lu Changhua to make a big pot first, then take out all the teacups in the house, wash them and wait for the neighbors.

Ordinarily, on New Year's Eve, every household celebrates the New Year at home, but the children are coming, and the adults are also eager to watch the colorful Spring Festival Gala.

Who wants to watch black and white when we have a color TV?!

The party started with a medley of songs.

Lu Changhua is familiar with many songs.

"Please Come to the Ends of the World", "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom", "Go Back to My Mother's Home", "The Girl from Alishan", "My Motherland", etc.

It can be said that it is very popular.

At that time, many companies held events and would choose songs like this to sing.

Just as he was looking at it, the Hu family, the Mao family, and the He family came together.

A roomful of New Year greetings.

Lao Lu let these people onto the kang, and the children all moved stools and sat neatly.

Feng Gong appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time. At this time, he was in his prime and performed the cross talk "Talking about Tiger in the Year of the Tiger" with his partner.

Everyone was drinking tea and cracking melon seeds, and they were all amused by his cross talk.

The room was filled with laughter and laughter.

When the midnight bell rang, the children all ran to the yard.

The Lu family's yard is very lively now.

All the children set off firecrackers.

Two kicks, monkey in the sky, small hanging whip.

Crack, crackle!

Dongta~Dongta~

咻~呲呲呲~~~

The yard was colorful and the children's laughter spread far and wide.

The first-generation comedy stars Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, whom Lu Changhua is very familiar with, and their sketch "Mutton Skewers" are still classics today.

All the parents went home to cook dumplings.

Mother Lu also went to the kitchen.

In front of the TV, only Lao Lu was drinking tea, watching TV, grinning and laughing.

Lu Changzhong and Lu Changhua also took out the small hanging whips at home and set them off together with the children.
