Chapter 380 The Zhang Family Celebrates the New Year
the next day.
January 1974, 1
The 29th day of the 12th month of the year Gui Chou in the lunar calendar.
The people of Jiangzhou City got up early in the morning to put up couplets and the character "福" (fortune).
If you have the means, go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy printed couplets and the character "福" (fortune).
Those who are meticulous in their daily lives will buy red paper and ask their neighbors who are good at calligraphy to write Spring Festival couplets for them.
The old saying goes that the earlier you post the notice, the better; this is called "grabbing spring" or "grabbing good fortune."
It doesn't count if you put it on the first day; it must be put on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
According to the old order, "On the 29th, paste up the stove; on the 30th, sit up all night."
On the 23rd of the lunar month, people send the Kitchen God to heaven and burn his portrait.
If you put up new decorations on the 29th, it means the Kitchen God is coming back.
On New Year's Eve, people burn incense and offer prayers to welcome the Kitchen God down to earth.
In those impoverished and difficult times when people often went hungry, they naturally had a special fondness for the Kitchen God. Almost every household secretly worshipped him.
Just so that we can have a full meal every day.
On the contrary, fewer people put up pictures of the God of Wealth at that time.
No matter how hard you work, you'll only earn the same amount of money if you're on a communal dining system; even the God of Wealth won't favor you.
However, these were all secretly provided by ordinary people, and people in the mountain valleys weren't so sensitive about them.
Furthermore, Lu Yao, as the militia company commander, completely neglected this aspect of the work.
Otherwise, during the current campaign to destroy the Four Olds, this would also be considered feudal superstition.
You are not allowed to offer random things.
The 29th day is part of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
Later, some people concluded that the happiest times of the year are the mornings of the 29th and 30th.
The most exciting thing is that happiness is about to arrive.
Early in the morning, just as the roosters crowed and before dawn, people were already setting off firecrackers.
Jing Youxiang was startled awake from her sleep.
He jumped up naked:
"Oh no, oh no! If I don't go home all night, my dad will call the hospital. The hospital director will say I left, and my dad will ask me where I went... If I can't tell him I'm going home, I'll get scolded, and I might even get beaten up..."
He put it on while talking.
He put on his underwear, underpants, and socks one by one.
Lu Yao just watched her flustered appearance without saying a word.
Last night, this girl gave Lu Yao a taste of several different kinds of charm.
She's like a fickle little she-wolf.
She wouldn't go back even when we told her to.
Now I know what fear is.
Jing Youxiang finished dressing in twenty seconds.
He slung his bag over his shoulder, turned around, and kissed Lu Yao on the cheek.
"I'm leaving now, Lu Yao. I'll buy you a gift and come visit you at your house later."
Lu Yao hadn't even said no.
Jing Youxiang lifted the blanket and kissed his stomach again:
Goodbye, my little darling, I'll miss you!
Then he rushed out of the room in a flurry of activity.
downstairs,
The staff member on duty at the Hongqi Guesthouse had already prepared the paste.
The director gave the order yesterday that the couplets should be put up as soon as the door opens today.
Open the door and paste the first and second couplets on the door panel.
Then he took a stool and stood it at the doorway.
Take the horizontal scroll and paste it on.
Then there was a loud bang, as some reckless person had kicked the door open from the inside.
The person on duty bumped into the person, causing them to fall off their stool.
Looking back, I saw a girl in a blue wool coat running away in a hurry.
He was so angry that he started cursing.
I wonder which room had such a young girl staying there.
I went back and checked the registration form, but it wasn't there.
Could it be that I saw a ghost this early in the morning?
Just as I climbed up, "whoosh" I was knocked down again.
The staff member on duty was furious.
"You fucking..."
A young man came out from inside: "Hey, why did you put a stool here?"
In an era where the average height is less than 1.73 meters, the duty officer, who is 1.62 meters tall, looks up at Lu Yao, who is already 1.81 meters tall.
I didn't dare to say it out loud:
"It's alright, just put up the couplets."
"Oh, I'll help you."
Lu Yao took the horizontal scroll from his hand and stuck it on the door frame with a "smack".
The duty officer was so envious:
"Hey, being tall is really an advantage!"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "I haven't finished growing yet. My final height is 1.84 meters."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The duty officer scoffed, "What a load of bull! 1.84 meters tall? The Chairman is only 1.81 meters!"
Look back at the horizontal inscription on the door frame.
Damn it, I have to go up and peel it off and re-paste it because the sticker is upside down.
Lu Yao had a great time last night!
Lin Dong has been captured; he has no powerful enemies left.
With the comprehensive services from the nurses, I was also able to stretch my muscles and bones.
This little girl is really resilient!
Lu Yao put his hands in his pockets and breathed in the fresh morning air.
Strolling through the streets.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, so I'll buy some more big sparklers and let my little sisters have a good time playing with them.
At the general store, Lu Yao bought twenty yuan worth of firecrackers.
I asked the sales clerk for a flower basket to hold frozen pears, filled it with firecrackers, and carried it home.
I came by tractor yesterday, but I'll have to take a bus back.
At this time, people mostly travel on foot.
It takes at least half an hour to walk from here to the bus station.
However, the streets were bustling with activity, and more and more people were gathering.
This is the last day to buy New Year's goods.
The old folks say that the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is the "Poor Stick Festival".
If you don't buy today, all the stores and supply and marketing cooperatives will be closed tomorrow.
Unlike businesses today, there are places that stay open all night on New Year's Eve.
Even if we reopen during the first month of the lunar calendar, there will be no stock left.
So even if you're poor, you still have to buy New Year's goods on this day.
Lu Yao walked through the crowd carrying a flower basket.
It feels like I'm living life all over again.
Looking at each part, one can see how it has changed since then.
It feels much better than in my previous life when I looked at every corner of Jiangzhou and reminisced about what it was like in the past.
The current social context doesn't allow you to be too flamboyant.
So let's quietly develop what we have in the countryside first.
Once it's open, they'll contract out the winery, greenhouses, and the areas on the back hill where medicinal herbs can be grown, and let Ding Mei be the landlady.
Then he went to the city to develop his career.
There are so many places where you can make money.
Investing in finance and buying stocks, then getting involved in real estate in the 1990s, predicting foreign wars and going into the arms trade...
Lu Yao, who could foresee the future, could become rich quickly no matter what he did.
On a smaller scale, you could make money by writing a few songs for Jay Chou that he hasn't even written yet, and then sharing the profits with him.
The future richest man, Ma Huateng, is only ten years old now. In a few years, when his mindset has matured and he has nowhere to borrow money, I can invest tens of millions in him and ask him for some Alibaba shares, and he would be more than happy to do so.
Then I can make money while lying down.
And there's Xiao Wang, Xiao Lei, Da Qiangzi...
If you lend a helping hand to these people when they are in trouble, you will surely be richly rewarded.
However, what Lu Yao values most in this life is love.
Although his assets in his previous life weren't the most, he was still quite wealthy.
He may not be the richest man in the country, but he is definitely one of the top tycoons in Jiangzhou.
Having enjoyed all the riches and honors of the past, this time, I'm starting over to experience the invaluable family bonds of my previous life.
The only drawback is that he himself will be the one to block Zheng Shuang's path to rebirth.
It was fate, and there was nothing we could do about it.
It's just that I can't bear to let Xiao Meizi have a child with any man anymore.
Let's see if I and Xiao Meizi can have a child similar to Zheng Shuang.
Dream as you go.
When we arrived at the bus station, I secretly gave the driver ten firecrackers, and the driver gave two to the ticket seller.
So they reserved a seat for Lu Yao in the front row.
Before anyone else got on the bus, they put Lu Yao on first.
After the car door opened, Lu Yao sat in the car with a smile, looking at the people below who were squeezing in and shouting.
As I was watching, I noticed a woman below also trying to squeeze onto the bus.
It turned out to be Yuan Shumei's mother, Fan Suzhen.
The woman was clumsy; she had barely stepped up when a young man pushed her foot off.
She landed on her bottom with a thud, and the people behind her rushed forward without regard for anything else, almost pushing Shumei's mother under the car.
Lu Yao realized this wouldn't work.
For Shumei's sake, we can't let her mother crawl on the car wheels.
I got up and went to the door.
A push pushed the two young men who were squeezed in the doorway:
"Get down, get down first! Didn't you see someone got knocked down?"
"You lazy bum, how dare you tell us what to do? Get out of our way!"
A young man reached out and pushed Lu Yao.
Insulting? Lu Yao was furious.
He was kicked down with one kick.
Blocking the doorway, shout down:
"Today I'm going to teach you guys some manners. You all better line up, or nobody's coming up here."
