At 9:30, the lights were brightly lit, and children walking around the streets were greeting each household.

They wore new clothes, one by one, carrying red lanterns. Under the leadership of several older boys, they went to the wealthy house to ask for candy and change, and then went straight to Fang Ning's house.

After knocking outside the fence, I beat drums and drums, dancing little fire dragons to pay New Year's greetings. The sweet-mouthed child even shouted like "The Red New Year's Eve" into the villa.

My mother quickly opened the door and welcomed all the children who came to pay New Year's greetings. Grandma took out the candy and biscuits for them. When she saw children of all sizes looking at them, she knew that they still wanted change, so she took out the change they had prepared for them. The children left amid the sound of joy, leaving behind a bustle.

Their villa building does not have neighbors on their side, and it looks quiet and elegant on weekdays.

However, during the Chinese New Year, it is far less lively than the residential buildings in the community, and no neighbors can visit each other. As for other relatives and friends, they are either in the countryside or outside the country. Except for children who are asking for candy, few others come to pay New Year's greetings.

Fortunately, Fang Ning's family is not the kind of lively person, so it is enough to reunite and chat about family matters.

When it was almost time to turn, Feng Gong's sketches and Yao Beina's songs were played on the TV. Everyone's eyes were on the big bell on the wall, counting down, and when the hour came, the sound of firecrackers outside was tacitly unified and unified, reaching the climax at this point.

The whole family went out and moved several fireworks out of the garage to go to a place where the community was crowded. A large group of people congratulated each other and smiled, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Everyone's face was filled with a festive smile, and they would express their joy to everyone.

Fang Ning and his father also went to the empty space to set off fireworks and firecrackers. Many smoke had not yet dissipated. My father lit a few cannons and all flew to the community, turning into brilliant brilliance. Fang Ning also lit a lot of fireworks, and the sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, which shone brightly.

Fang Wei, who was more courageous than the sky, was frightened by the cannon at this time. He stood from afar, covering his ears, but was eager to try.

When the family returned home, the cross-Hong Kong video of my aunt also came. She took a lot of scenes there, and also had video calls with her grandparents. She said a lot of words. She was sad and choked with her daughter’s unfilial daughter and could not come back to accompany her parents. Her grandfather comforted her and said that you can be safe and safe is the greatest comfort for us parents.

When they started to distribute the dividends, Fang Ning and the others also received a lot of New Year's money. The elders were also happy and started to stay up until three in the morning. The whole family couldn't stand it anymore and went to bed.

The next day was the first day of the first lunar month. The family slept until midnight before waking up. The first thing they did after getting up was to say good New Year to each other.

In the afternoon, the family went to Jieshan Temple on Huaidufu Road to burn incense and worship the gods, and then began to visit relatives and friends, which will last for seven or eight days.

On the second day of the lunar month, the whole family was preparing to go back to the countryside to wish you a happy New Year.

The first stop was grandma's mother's home, Zheliao Village in Meixian Town. The famous surnames of the Li family are basically all with the surname Li. Going to Nanjiang Town, it is Jiangyuan Village, and the surname Xie there is also the surname Daxian.

Because of the death of the old grandmother, the Lao Li family, which was originally cohesive, was also disintegrated. That morning, only two direct relatives from my parents' home came. It was not until lunch that seven or eight relatives came one after another, and there were still hundreds of people. As for the sidelines, let alone relatives who were related to the old ones.

The Li family has a prosperous staff. Although there are not many wealthy families, there are also several promising people. For example, grandma is recognized as promising in everyone's mind. The daughter married in Hong Kong, the son made money outside, and lived in a small foreign house. Although he had no business, there was a government compensation for demolition. The compensation was something ordinary families could not make in several lifetimes. Therefore, those relatives were also a little flattering to grandma and grandpa. Nowadays, who wouldn't want to find a good thigh to hold?

Fang Ning's family drove over two cars and parked the car in the yard of grandma's younger brother Li Xibao. As soon as they came out, they were welcomed by everyone. Countless eyes swept over. Grandpa and the others looked natural, and Fang Ning could not lose face at home. She had a smile and was gentle and polite. To outsiders, she was also a tutor, and she was really a handsome boy.

Li Xibao smiled and asked his sons to come out and set off firecrackers to welcome his sister's family. He set off firecrackers for a long time, which made people very jealous.

There is also a custom here. I don’t know what the customs are like in other places, but in Hunan, Hubei and other places, the more you go to Chu, the more you pay attention to it. Although Pinghai County is a small county town, it also claims to be one of the birthplaces of Hunan and Chu culture.

This custom is to open firecrackers. From the first day of the Spring Festival to the eighth day of the lunar month, when guests come, they should set off firecrackers to welcome guests. The more the show and the stronger the etiquette, the more respect the host family respects the guests. After the sound of firecrackers, the ground is broken and red, as bright as clouds, and it is called the red house.

The firecracker rang for several minutes, and I didn't think it was anything, but compared to other visitors, it seemed particularly eye-catching.

A relative who was sitting in the hall drinking tea took a few sips of tea, looked at Fang Ning's family's beautiful appearance, surrounded by other relatives, and thought about his neglected appearance, he felt a little unbalanced and said sourly, "What's so proud of? Isn't it better to be lucky."

Another relative heard his sour tone and looked at him strangely, without saying anything. He just moved the stool under his butt and stayed away from him.

Fang Ning looked around and listened to all directions. The relative's words naturally fell into his ears, and then he remembered them in his heart. When he came to say hello and wanted to get familiar with him, Fang Ning glanced at him, frowned slightly, ignored him, and did not give him any good face. He passed by directly in front of him. When the elders of the Fang family saw him, they lowered their eyes, shouted coldly, said his brother-in-law and left.

The man was disrespectful by the Fang family and walked away awkwardly. Everyone else laughed secretly in his heart when they saw it. You said that in front of so many relatives, they were in a noble manner, but turned around but flattered him. Didn’t you take it upon yourself?

In fact, there is a reason why Fang Ning's family didn't look good to this man.

As the eldest daughter of the Li family, grandma started taking care of her younger brothers and sisters when she was still studying. She carried one on her back and pulled one on her hands, such as Aunt Jin, Aunt Six, and Aunt Seven, all of them were raised by her, so she was particularly close.

Aunt Jin and Aunt Six have their own lives, needless to say, Aunt Qi wants to talk about.

The husband she married was Chen Shui, the man just now. After two years of marriage, Aunt Qi died of dysfunction. If the treatment was timely, it would not necessarily mean that she would die. It was her husband Chen Shui who was superstitious about some sects and didn't know how to take her to see a doctor and kept touching her stomach and drinking talisman water. But what's the use?

Later, when he saw that it was no longer possible, his neighbor quickly asked him to take him to the hospital. He called another tractor. The road was rugged and steep. Aunt Qi was lying on the tractor and screaming all the way, and his intestines were almost shaking. When he was sent to the town health center, Aunt Qi was already exhausted.
