On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Song family—

The breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year is basically full of dumplings.

That’s right, it was dumplings last night, but it was dumplings this morning, so Song Zhichao couldn’t eat them.

Look at my father Song Haiming again. Today, he also wore a new outfit, but it was a green Zhongshan outfit with "Quoliang" fabric, and a thick sweater inside. I heard from Wang Jinfeng that he bought it two years ago and was reluctant to wear it. Song Haiming used it as a treasure under the box. It was the first time he took it out to change it.

Wang Jinfeng is also wearing new clothes, not the kind of very expensive duck down jacket, but the flowery cotton jacket she made by herself torn cloth. It looks pretty good when wearing it - women, basically, they have to change to a new set of clothes if they have money during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, Wang Jinfeng is very beautiful and is a famous beauty when she was young. Otherwise, she would not have given birth to a handsome son like Song Zhichao if she married Song Haiming. However, rural women generally do not know how to take care of themselves. The biggest maintenance in their life is to apply "snow cream" or apply lipstick. For example, Hong Kong women's luxurious cosmetics and skin care products are not available and cannot afford them. Therefore, Wang Jinfeng is older than her actual age. At her forties, she looks like she is 45 or 46 years old.

Wang Jinfeng packed up gifts for her husband and son to greet her third uncle, such as pastries, fruits, candies, and a lot of other messy things.

"This is for the third uncle, this is for the eldest son-in-law, and these are for the second son-in-law, and these are for the second son-in-law..." Wang Jinfeng told Song Haiming and Song Zhichao in detail with the gifts.

In fact, those gifts are ordinary things, such as pastries, which are bulk cookies and desserts, and then label them as red birthday boys, and then they are tied up.

And that fruit is actually the most common "canned fruits", such as "canned pineapple" and "canned honey juice apples", are all made of glass bottles with big round belly, which is very difficult to get.

It is impossible to take so many things to visit relatives with your hands, so basically I use a large box of fruits to put them in it together, and then clip the box behind the 28 bicycle.

There were so many things, and there was no way, so Song Haiming asked Song Zhichao to find a fish skin bag, put the things into the bag, and then tied the fish skin bag to the left and right sides of the back of the car.

After doing this, it was almost 8:30, so I couldn't delay any more time. Song Haiming greeted Song Zhichao and asked him to push the Feige brand 28 bicycle to go to his third uncle's house together.

...

Outside, snowy-

The heavy snow that had been falling all day yesterday finally stopped.

There were still a lot of red firecracker debris sprinkled at the gate of the Song family, which contrasted with white and red, and looked red all over the ground.

Song Zhichao pushed the car out and saw a villager squatting at the door with his rice bowl.

When the neighbor saw the two men, he smiled and said, "I heard that Achao is back. It turns out that it is true! He has grown up so big that he almost doesn't know each other."

Without waiting for Song Haiming to introduce, Song Zhichao had already kicked the stand-up post with his feet, stopped the bicycle, then took out a cigarette from his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "I just came back not long ago - Happy New Year!"

The neighbor quickly stood up, caught the cigarette, and smiled with a smoky yellow teeth, "I haven't seen you for three or four years, and A Chao is becoming more and more sensible."

Song Haiming came forward and said that he and his son were going to greet the third uncle and left, so they couldn't talk much.

The two pushed their bicycles and set off again.

The neighbor behind him looked at the cigarettes that Song Zhichao had just handed over. When he saw that it was still a foreign brand, he said, "This child is amazing, he has smoked foreign cigarettes." He couldn't help but look at Song Zhichao more and guess how Song Zhichao was working outside.

It turned out that everyone in the village knew that Song Zhichao worked in the south, but few people knew that he was already developed and even went to Hong Kong.

Song Haiming thought that his son was doing bad things outside, so he didn't dare to say anything. When he had money, he stuffed it under the bed, and he didn't dare to show off.

Therefore, everyone has always thought that the Song family is the same as before, and Song Zhichao is similar to before.

The neighbor couldn't figure it out, so he finally shook his head, wanted to put down his bowl, smoked the cigarette, put it next to his nose and smelled it, but he couldn't bear it, so he finally clamped it on his ear, thinking in his heart, and then slowly enjoy it when he returned to the house after dinner.

Along the way, there were many people squatting at the door and having dinner at the village. Without waiting for Song Haiming to give orders and introductions, Song Zhichao took the initiative to greet him, let Yan and speak and act, which was very good. This surprised Song Haiming, who was watching from the side. As for those neighbors, they all looked at the Song family with admiration.

You know, Song Zhichao was a nerd in the past, and he was stupid in his studies. He didn't understand the worldly ways at all. It was difficult to say hello to others, let Yan go out and say a few words to everyone. In addition, he went out to work very early, so Song Zhichao gave everyone the impression that Mu Na, it's okay, but in front of him - can you tell that working can change a person's personality?

In this way, along the way, everyone knew that Song Zhichao, the son of the Song family, had returned from working in the south and became proactive and enthusiastic, as if he had changed his body.

After leaving the village, I walked eastward, walked through the thick snow, passed the wheat fields covered with snow, and walked through the small forest of bare trees. The two of them supported each other along the way. When they passed the uphill and downhill road, they were even more careful. In some slippery places, Song Haiming even asked Song Zhichao to hand over the bicycle to himself and let him push it.

In this way, after about half an hour, the two of them arrived at the village where Song Zhichao's third uncle lived.

In fact, many people in this village have the surname Song, so they are called "Songjia Village". Almost all the older generation of Song Haiming came out of this village and moved to other villages after dividing the fields.

Song Taigong, who is 89 years old this year, is highly respected in the village. First, he is very old. He has lived in the late Qing Dynasty until now. I heard that he had seen Caishi Street chopped people when he was a child, and after he became an adult, he experienced the nearby white wolf bandits, such as the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation... So many natural disasters and man-made disasters survived, which is an anomaly.

In addition, this third uncle is a famous cultural person in Shiliba Village. He writes calligraphy very elegantly and beautifully in small regular script with fly heads and silver hooks. He is asked to write and post many wedding events.

Finally, there were many talented people in Song Taigong's lineage, such as the village chief of Songjia Village, his eldest son, and his family has a high reputation throughout the village and surrounding villages.

As a result, Song Taigong's status in the village has become increasingly higher, and he is called the "old birthday star" and "living ancestor" by the Song clan.

At this time, the snow had been swept at the door of the Song family, and many bicycles were parked, and there were three motorcycles. After a closer look, I couldn't help but surprise - there was actually a black Santana sedan.

In this era, it is a rare thing to see such a car in such a village - a group of little kids are now looking around this strange car, and some even couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but the adults stopped: "Don't touch it - we can't afford to pay if it is broken!"

The drink stopped the children, but the adult with the ear hat couldn't help but reach out and touch the car body, muttering: "This is a car. I've seen it on TV and on the streets before, and this is the first time I've touched it!"
