The leisurely life of rebirth

On the first day of the new year, Fang Monan got up early in the morning, but did not go out to exercise. She was afraid that she would disappear and scare her mother and the others.

It was still dark, so she put on her clothes, sat on a chair, and began to meditate. She couldn't go out, but she couldn't slack off. Although the spiritual energy outside was thin and almost non-existent, it did not prevent her from meditating, exercising, and the spiritual energy in her body was moving.

Of course the effect is not as good as in space.

When her mother woke up, she touched Fang Monan but couldn't find it, so she shouted: "Oh! Nan Nan is gone, get up." Her father, who was sleeping soundly, turned on the light, but he turned over and fell asleep again.

It’s on.

"Mom, I'm here." After hearing this, Fang Monan immediately replied.

The mother saw her daughter sitting cross-legged on a chair, neatly dressed, and asked, "Why did you get up so early and what are you doing?" [

"I get up so early every day to exercise with Grandpa Lin and Auntie Lin." Fang Monan put his legs down and said with a wink.

"Oh! It's the Chinese New Year! I haven't rested yet, are you tired?" Mom asked with concern. Fang Monan shook his head, saying it was okay.

Mom looked at the clock and it was six o'clock. She couldn't sleep anymore, so she just got up. Dad heard their movements and was disturbed, so he got up too. He was going to make water and cook dumplings.

On the morning of the Spring Festival, the cooked dumplings are laid out to open the door, and firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening the firecrackers." After the sound of firecrackers, the ground is filled with red, shining like clouds and brocades, which is called "Man Tang Hong". At this time, the streets are full of auspiciousness and joy.

After dinner, my mother put on new clothes for Fang Monan and the two sisters, and they went out together. Before they could leave the neighbors in the family yard, they went to pay New Year greetings, saying auspicious words and saying "Happy New Year."

.”

An important activity during the Spring Festival is to go to new friends' homes and neighbors to wish them a happy New Year, formerly known as New Year greetings.

Samsung is in the south, and every family pays New Year greetings;

The younger ones kowtow, the older ones give money.

If you don't want money, just leave.

Although they had no money to pay New Year greetings to their neighbors, they still gave the two sisters a handful of melon seeds and candies. They politely said thank you, and the neighbors praised them for being cute, sensible, and grown up.

After going to the family home, the family of four walked to their grandfather's house. Grandpa's house was a bit far away from their home. They walked for nearly half an hour and felt warm all over their bodies.

Along the way, families came out to pay New Year's greetings. The older boy lit the firecrackers and threw them at the pretty girl. The girl was so frightened that she jumped and screamed, while they laughed.

When the whole family saw someone like this, they would avoid them for fear of being 'exploded'.

Watching other people's excitement along the way, I soon arrived at my grandfather's house, which is also in a family area. It is larger than their family home, with nearly 200 households. His home is also a bungalow courtyard with two and a half rooms. Walk in, come here

The New Year greeters were about to leave when they saw a family of four coming in. They said hello and left with a huff.

As the family entered, Fang Monan and Mobei said, "Happy New Year to Grandma and Grandpa." Although they didn't want to say it, due to seniority, etiquette did not allow them to say that Mom and the two of them did not educate the children well.

"Hey! Xiaonan, Xiaobei, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and the longer they look, the more they look alike. Look! They look like twins." Grandma smiled fakely, but no one cared about it. She knew what she was doing and looked at the two of them.

He was dressed so red that it made him nervous just looking at him.

"Tsk tsk... Dayan's clothes are nice!" She smacked her lips and looked at her mother's newly made coat.

"Yes! My mother bought it for me, a new style." My mother said with some childish pride. This dress was newly painted by Nan Nan. It is made of ivory white woolen fabric. It is warmer, softer, better-looking and close-fitting than the previous one.

It has a slim cut, a belt of the same color on the waist, and a bow on the back, making the waist look slender and the whole look more youthful and beautiful.

"Really!" Dayan had never spoken to her like this before, but it seemed that things were a little different today. She came from a small family and just couldn't get on the stage. She really thought she was rich, so she started yelling at her, and she didn't know her the same way.

, the old man is still here, this is the Chinese New Year, we don’t have to feel uncomfortable.[

Fang Monan seemed to be able to hear the sound of her gnashing her teeth, with disdain and contempt flashing in her eyes. However, her back was turned to Grandpa, so Grandpa did not say anything, but smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the family.

Dad and Mom sat down, paused for a while, and said some friendly polite words to the old man. After asking, they found out that the aunt and uncle had gone out to pay New Year greetings and hadn't come back yet. Grandma took two new fifty-cent banknotes and stuffed them into

Fang Monan and Mobei each have one.

Fang Monan gave it to his mother, and Mobei also gave it to his mother when he saw this. "Dad! I'll take them to the family compound." Dad stood up, fearing that if they disagreed with each other, they would get into trouble again.

, quickly grabbed the mother and drove the children out.

After the family walked around the family compound, the father went in and said goodbye to his grandfather, and then went home. If he didn't eat here, he would save others money for the meal. The father muttered, holding Fang Monan in his arms, "Let's go."

, go home and eat something delicious.”

The family walked and talked, and soon they arrived home. After lunch, they took them to the park to play. In the winter, the trees and flowers were all bare. They looked at a few skinny monkeys and two peacocks that had lost their feathers.

, Fang Monan still has to pretend to be happy, it’s really hard. When will she grow up? Can she not be like this?

****************************

It was hard to get through the first day of the Lunar New Year. Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Monan and his family got on the bus and went back to his grandma’s house. Going back to his parents’ house on the second day of the Lunar New Year is probably an old tradition that many people know.

, every year after the first day of the first lunar month, the married daughters will take their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to celebrate the New Year and visit their parents. On the second day of the first lunar month, there is a custom of 'picking up the daughter and inviting the son-in-law'.

It is also the day when children dress up and go back to their grandma's house with their parents.

The car was crowded, the air was dirty, and it was hard to get to grandma's house. After Fang Monan got out of the car, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and finally came to life.

Fang Monan and Mo Bei lay on the heated kang and closed their eyes comfortably.

Seeing how sleepy they were, grandma asked in a low voice: "Why can't you rest well at home? Why are you so sleepy?"

"Haha...Mom, you know you're not at home for a long time, so it's a bit cold." My mother said embarrassedly and yawned.

"Okay, I understand, you and Zhengping go to the north room and sleep for a while." Grandma urged the two of them to let them rest for a while.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Fang Monan got up at 11 o'clock and stretched. She felt so comfortable and full of sleep. She put on her clothes and went out. Grandma was busy making lunch, "I'm back, I'd better do it."

!”

"Alas! Nothing we eat tastes good after you've been back for two days. I wonder what we will do when you go to school?" Grandma said with emotion. Her granddaughter is not at home, and for some reason no delicious food is available.

fragrant.

"That's not easy. Come with us to the city. I'll take you there with me." Fang Monan said with a smile. "Besides, grandma can open her business in the city!"

Grandma thought about it, "How can it be so easy? How can I leave a root here?" She shook her head, reluctant to leave this home.

Fang Monan knew that she didn't know what she was thinking. It was still early for her to go to school, and she would be taken away if she was beaten hard. The county town is still too small, and there are many things that can't be used. When will she grow up? I don't think about it now.

Enjoy this rare leisure time.

As he spoke, Fang Monan flashed into the space, made some delicious food, and came out after a while.

At the dinner table, grandma gave Mo Nan and Mo Bei a New Year's Eve gift of 10 yuan each. Of course, at Fang Monan's request, the bank changed all the money into maroon dimes.

"Wow! Our mother is really rich. She has made so much money." My aunt exclaimed exaggeratedly. Then she whispered in my mother's ear: "Yesterday on the first day of the new year, my eldest brother came with the children. Mom

I gave the three of them five yuan each. I was so angry at the time, hum! After seeing our mother’s actions today, I feel more balanced.”

"You! Why do you care so much?" Mom nodded her head.

In the previous life, the New Year's money given by grandma was given to her by her mother in advance, and then she gave birth to the children, and it was just poured into her hands. In this life, this is the New Year's money given by grandma in the true sense. Fang Monan carefully collected it and kept it.

To mom.[

My mother smiled when she saw it, but didn't say anything. She just glanced at my father meaningfully, and my father looked away shyly.

After the meal, Fang Monan was taken away by Mr. Lin, who asked her if she was lazy. Her mother looked very distressed and said, "We don't even let our children take a break during the Chinese New Year. Why are we in such a hurry?"

"Anyway, it's okay. Besides eating and sleeping, I want to find something to do. Hey! I'm born with a hard life and can't sit down." Grandma said, "Don't be idle. Mr. Lin has all kinds of books, so go there."

Find something you like to read and just use it to pass the time."

My father found two books with interest and handed one to my mother, "Don't let the children compare you to others. If you are troubled by the children's questions in the future, it will be a shame!"

Mom is right to think about it, it’s okay anyway, let’s see!

Grandma went out to visit, chat, and inquire about the market.

Fang Monan came to Mr. Lin's room and was tortured carefully. He always nodded, indicating that there was no delay and taught him something new. Mobei caught the old man and gestured to play the piano.

Mr. Lin fulfilled his promise, opened up his posture, and played a cheerful world-famous song melodiously. After he finished playing one song, Mobei felt that it was not enough, so he kept pestering him and played another song. He continued playing like this for two hours, and the old man was overwhelmed.

My arms and hands are sore and I can't even lift them.

The old man had obviously practiced it while they were away. As an outsider, she couldn't hear any interruptions, but she only thought it was smooth and nice to listen to.

The pleasant music of the piano floated in the yard, and the house was filled with a strong aroma of books. The afternoon passed quickly.

Fang Monan saw Mr. Lin's painful look and grabbed his veins. The spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body, flowing along his arms to his shoulders, letting the spiritual energy nourish the old man's sore muscles. After running for a while, the old man's facial expression

Comfortable and cozy.

"Nanny, why is Qigong so powerful? I don't feel any discomfort at all." Mr. Lin raised his arm and patted it.

"Taught by gods, unknown." She lied casually.

The old man doesn't mind, no one has a little secret, but it would be great if he learned it.

Fang Monan saw his heartbeat, so he taught him a set of mental techniques that combined with Tai Chi to strengthen his body. If he overexercised, he could also use his own exercises to repair it.

Fang Monan looked at Mobei and said seriously: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Mobei hid behind the old man in fear, stuck his head out, and then retracted. "I was wrong."

Children often admit their mistakes quickly, but continue to make the same mistake again and again.

Fang Monan thought about it, and since he liked listening to the old man play the piano so much, he simply said: "Grandpa Lin, since Xiaobei likes to hear you play the piano so much, you might as well accept her as your apprentice."

When Fang Mobei heard this, he came out from behind the old man happily, took his hand and nodded happily: "Okay, okay."

Mr. Lin looked at Xiao Douding and thought that he was about to retire and would have a lot of time. "Okay, but Xiaobei! Grandpa is very strict and playing the piano is also very difficult. Can you persist? If not, even

Already."

Fang Mobei blinked his big bright eyes with determination on his face, "I want to learn."

"If you want to learn, you can, but there is no violin for young children!" Mr. Lin muttered to himself.

Mobei was happy when he heard that he could learn to play the piano. He didn't hear what was said after that. Fang Monan heard it and said, "This is simple. I'll find a way." Of course, it was solved with a letter.

Mr. Lin thought that he was going to retire at the end of this year, so he concentrated on teaching his two children so that they could live a relaxed and comfortable life. He could also bully the children without being disrespectful to him.

Dad and Mom are very happy that Mr. Lin can teach his two children. The two of them don't know how to compare. Compared with children of the same age, they are both gratified and proud. They work harder to train their two children.

"Dayan, Zhengping, go and call your mother. I have something to announce." Mr. Lin said.

When my father saw this, he went to the house and called grandma over.

Mr. Lin saw that you were all here, "You also know that I am retiring soon, and I have no relatives. If I want to take over, I want Dayan to take over."

Succession is too common, especially in this season. After some old comrades retire, they do everything possible to send their children to the original unit to eat national food and have an iron rice bowl. Some people have not even reached the retirement age.

Immediately, he retired and let his children take over, which was a hereditary system.

In China, it is a human society, with extremely complex social relations, and many obviously unreasonable phenomena are repeatedly banned. The main problem is that the leaders in charge are not saints, they do not have such a high level of consciousness, and they do not have relatives and friends. The seven major

No one can really ignore the relationship that Auntie Guba has.

"How is this so good?" Grandma said, she was a little confused. "Outsiders will say sarcastic things."

"Sister, you're afraid that others will make irresponsible remarks." Mr. Lin glared, "If someone talks behind someone's back, what's the point of fearing if someone doesn't talk behind someone's back?"

Grandma thought the same thing when she thought about it, "When I started setting up a stall to sell steamed buns, how many gossips did I hear? I have already developed a strong body."

Mr. Lin said: "The Bureau of Culture and Education is just a Qingshui Yamen, and the salary is not high. It is better than the workers in Dayan's collective ownership. Once you get in, you will be a formal worker. You will be "eating the royal grain" in a serious way, and if you don't use this indicator, it will be wasted."

"Uncle Lin asked me to take over." My mother said in surprise, not expecting a pie from the sky. "I am willing, it is better than collective workers." My mother said respectfully: "From now on, Uncle Lin will be my family, and you will be Nannan.

And Xiaobei’s biological grandfather.”

"I thought I had become your family a long time ago." Mr. Lin joked.

"They said the wrong thing." Grandma said, "Otherwise, I would have recognized my godfather."

"Haha...that's a good suggestion." Mr. Lin smiled.

"Well, it's decided." Grandma agreed, "Zhengping, do you have any objections?"

"I don't have any objection to Dayan coming back. I'm out on the construction site all year round. I don't worry about you being alone at home. If you go back to the county or join a government agency, I have no objection to such a good thing." Dad said.

"Wow...that's great. I can see my mother every day from now on." Fang Monan said jumping up and down.

"Yes! As for the formalities, I will help you with it," said Mr. Lin.

Dinner was millet porridge with pickled cucumbers. They had eaten a lot of fish and meat for a few days, and some porridge and side dishes, which made it more delicious. They all ate a lot to clear their stomachs.

Afterwards, my grandma specially and solemnly held a banquet, and mom and dad officially recognized their godfather.

On the third day of the third year of junior high school, Liangzi came specially to pay New Year greetings to his grandma and said auspicious New Year blessings.

Fang Monan couldn't help but pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Liang and Liang Zi. "Happy New Year to Grandma Liang and Brother Liang. Wish you good luck and bring me the red envelope." She said playfully.

Liang Zi said with a joking smile: "Happy New Year, Nan Nan, I will use this money to buy candies." He specially took out five yuan.

Fang Monan didn't show any weakness and stepped on him hard, not forgetting to take away the five yuan. Her advantage was not in vain.

In the next few days, grandma kept receiving relatives who came from the countryside, one after another. When they came, they would bring some home-grown mountain products, and when they returned, they would eat and return with a full load.
