Chapter 330 A hurdle for the New Year (repair)
Uncle Cheng Yun made two very sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinners, which was the result of the old couple’s busy work since last night.
Cheng Yun was also one of the participants last night. Almost all of these dishes were made by them by themselves. Even the cold dishes were cooked by themselves. It can be said that they are full of the warmth of the New Year.
Even so, today when everyone is accustomed to the rich entertainment methods, this year is a bit unconscious.
Seven elders sat at a table, and seven younger generations sat at a table.
Cheng Yun was packing all kinds of meat in Xiaoluoli's rice bowl. He turned his head and looked at the little thing eating with relish, and a smile gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth.
But he didn't eat much.
It seems that the more abundant the dishes on the table, the less people eat. It can solve two big bowls of rice when dealing with two side dishes, but facing a table of big fish and meat, it loses appetite.
However, seeing this little thing eating deliciously, Cheng Yun was in a good mood.
He couldn't help but remembered his childhood.
It was an era without a mobile phone or computer. Even Eimengpisan was a popular product that I only heard of in junior high school. People usually had no entertainment methods. It was an era when there was no road from the village to the town, and Xiling Snow Mountain was not a popular tourist attraction. No matter where you work, you will return to your hometown during the New Year to add a lot of fun to this countryside.
On New Year's Eve, several elders would stuff some New Year's money to the younger generation. For some reason, they had to stuff it quietly. It was obvious that what each elder gave to each junior was the same, but it seemed like they were afraid that others would know about it.
Usually two pieces.
This is quite a lot!
Of course, it is not as good as those rich people who rely on New Year's money to buy a house. The rich people are rich in any era, but Cheng Yun could only receive two yuan for the New Year at that time.
No, when his grandparents were not dead, he could get five yuan from his grandmother who only saw once or twice a year.
Grandma seemed to be afraid that he would not come next time. Whether it was the New Year or not, as long as Cheng Yun went to see them, his grandmother would give him money before leaving. While insisting on giving him money, he sincerely told him to come again next time. As if he felt that as long as he was given money, he would definitely come to see his grandparents for this pocket money next time.
They all died later.
In that era, you could buy two to three boxes of cannons for 50 cents, and you could buy one price for a cannon. You could buy a pistol for two or five cents, and you could buy an AK47 or a small one for five cents.
He was still a little brat.
Cheng Yun usually saves money to buy a gun during the Chinese New Year, and then happily divides into two factions to fight with his friends.
He would buy a cannon for the remaining money, and during the day he would look for places where he could insert the cannon in, such as cow dung, cabbage, tree holes or hollow plants, and at night he would light the cannon and throw it everywhere. He would be very happy just by looking at the flashing fire. He could even derivate various theories based on the various brands of cannons, such as the powerful power of the Red Spider, the King of Kings and many squibs, etc.
There are also hide and seek, divided into two factions to fight, step by step and jump rope, etc. There are too many entertainment projects.
But now...
I guess I can't find so many people. The scene of crowded people during the New Year can never be seen in the village. People go out to work and settle down, and many people simply don't come back during the New Year.
Yes, what's good in the countryside...
Even if we find so many people, people in this era will not be able to play these entertainment projects.
Yes, there is no Internet cafe entertainment city to be fun...
It’s a pity, but the times are moving forward after all. It’s normal for new people to eliminate old people and new lifestyles to eliminate old lifestyles. No one is good or bad, it’s just that the times are different.
Cheng Yun was thinking, but Xiaoluoli suddenly turned her head and looked at him in confusion. Its mouth was still squirming, but his eyes were full of questions, as if he was asking him in wonder-
Why don't you eat it?
Cheng Yun smiled, reached out and wiped off the pepper peel from the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Eat quickly."
The younger brothers and sisters next to them were all exclaiming in surprise.
Feng Yujia opened his mouth first and said, "Brother Third, you are too humane!? Is this relative level and action? Where can I buy such a cat?"
Feng Yuze also said, "Brother Third, you wiped his mouth for it just now, and when he was stunned for a moment, I think this cat is definitely in love with you."
Little luoli suddenly became angry and yelled at the two of them.
Cheng Qiuya was quite honest at the dinner table. She kept eating silently and didn't dare to speak loudly.
But her low profile does not mean that the elders cannot see her.
The emotional state is a very vulgar topic and a very old-fashioned plot, but it is something that elders must ask.
I saw Cheng Yun, the fourth aunt sitting next to her, stretched her neck and looked at Cheng Qiuya, and asked, "Qiuya, when did you bring us a boyfriend back to see you?"
Cheng Qiuya said in a muffled voice: "The emperor is not in a hurry to the eunuch!"
Cheng Yun's fourth aunt didn't mind her tone at all and continued: "I heard that your entertainment industry is full of handsome men and beautiful women. Why don't you like one of those handsome men?"
"We who are in the entertainment industry cannot play friends casually, as it will affect our work."
"Who told you to play casually, do it seriously!"
“Which is more important, work or life?”
"You are quietly playing!"
Faced with the unanimous bombing of the elders, Cheng Qiuya said nothing.
Her years of struggle with relatives told her that now anything she says will only make this topic continue endlessly, and eventually turn into a life guidance for the older generation. The only way she can quickly end the topic is to pretend to be deaf and dumb. This is also one of the few hateful times for elders during the entire Chinese New Year. As long as she gets through it, she will return to intimacy and warmth.
Uncle Cheng Yun also reminded: "Cheng Qiuya, you will be twenty-six years old when you are in your prime!"
Aunt Cheng Yun said, "I have become an old girl!"
Cheng Qiuya still had a look of "You can just say whatever you want, I will never say anything."
Several other juniors covered their mouths and laughed at each other, and even joined in the fun.
But before Cheng Yun had time to gloat, the nightmare came to him.
I saw Aunt Cheng Yun with an old mother's expression, and then turned her eyes to him, saying earnestly: "Cheng Yun, you will be twenty-three soon after the New Year is in full swing. Don't imitate you and your sister! Find a girlfriend early so as not to listen to our women's nagging!"
Cheng Yun’s third aunt also nodded: “Twenty-three is not young anymore.”
The fourth aunt of Cheng Yun even played the card of bitterness: "Don't bother us. Your parents are gone. We will inevitably have to worry more about you in this kind of thing."
Cheng Yun stared at Xiaoluoli helplessly.
Little luoli also stared at him with a confused look on his face.
Originally, Cheng Yun planned to say things like "I'm still young at the age of 23" and "You don't have to worry too much", but when he thought of Cheng Qiuya's previous experience, he wisely closed his mouth, lowered his head and picked up the bowl and steaded the rice.
Seeing that he had finally eaten, Xiaoluoli showed a serious expression of satisfaction and continued to lower her head and eat the meat.
"well……"
Aunt Cheng Yun sighed and said, "We women are really annoying. None of us can pay attention to us when we talk to them."
Several younger brothers and sisters who are still in high school and junior high school cover their mouths and laugh secretly.
Seeing this, Cheng Qiuya looked fierce and finally spoke, yelling: "Why are you laughing at? The winter vacation homework has been completed?"
Several younger brothers and sisters looked at each other, pretending to be serious for a moment, giving their second sister a little face.
Cheng Yun’s third uncle looked at Cheng Yan and said, “Cheng Yan has gone to college and can also be friends. High school is mainly about studying, so you can try to fall in love in college.”
Cheng Yun's third aunt frowned and protected Cheng Yan: "What are you talking nonsense? Cheng Yan is still young! She is one month younger than Yu Jia!"
After a change of the subject, she said to Cheng Yan again: "But you can help your brother pay attention to it. Your brother is 23 years old, and it is time to find a girlfriend to consider starting a family. You should advise him more and help him check it out. Don't be afraid. Even if your brother gets married, he will definitely take care of you as he is now."
Cheng Yan glanced at Cheng Yun with a hug look on his face, paused for a moment before saying lightly: "I understand."
Cheng Yun quickly changed the topic and said, "When will cousin come back this afternoon?"
Cheng Qiuya looked at him with his eyes and immediately assisted: "I heard it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Why are you going to drive to the town to pick him up?"
"Okay, the tricycle is very comfortable!"
Several older generations said to them on the spot.
Mr. Cheng took a sip of Wujiyuan, tsk his mouth and said, "Okay, your elder brother brings his luggage, and that tricycle is also convenient. If you go near the town, you don't have to drive."
Uncle Cheng Yun sighed: "I came back only on New Year's Eve, and I can only have one New Year's Eve dinner."
Aunt Cheng Yun also sighed.
The others didn't say anything.
Uncle Cheng Yun obviously has a subtext - his son is not good at doing well. But they say this by themselves, but it is not appropriate for others to say it.
Among Cheng Yun and his family, the best ones were Cheng Yun's fourth aunt and Cheng Yun's family, one was rich and the other was comfortable. On the contrary, Uncle Cheng Yun's family was relatively poor. In the generation of Cheng Yun's parents, Uncle Cheng Yun, as the eldest son, took on more burdens, dropped out of school, worked, and did small businesses to reduce the burden on his parents. Then, he married a wife and lived a normal life and gave birth to children.
Fortunately, Cheng Qiuya is doing well. Although she is an eighteenth-tier star, she still makes much more money than working.
And Cheng Yun's cousin Cheng Zuan was doing very well.
Because of his poor grades in junior high school, he went to a technical school after graduation. He had never been to college. After finishing the technical school, he went out to work and is still working. In addition, he has a child who has a lot of expenses to raise a child and lives a tight life.
