Vol 2 Chapter 402: New Year's Gathering

Dumplings for the first grade, noodles for the second grade.
I have eaten the dumplings, and the noodles for the second grade are taken out of a small bowl from Zhang Guoqing's hand.
The thin noodles made Zhang Guoqing couldn't help but look at everyone.
The taciturn uncle, the gentle and cheerful little uncle, the two smiling uncles, and a room of kind cousins. This is his outside family and his relatives.
They entertained the old Zhang's family with the best food and warmed the room with simple and simple words.
Zhang's family, especially Zhang's father, knows his own Yue family well.
He smiled and let the children eat quickly. This time every year, he has learned to accept it calmly, not as uneasy as the next generation. Eating the noodles in the bowl, he recalled the old man.
Zhang Dad is not the only one who is in the memory, but Zhou Jiao is the one who has the deepest feeling.
With the help of the family in front of him, the Lin family became even worse than scum. After all, moral education has nothing to do with status knowledge. The most simple and sincere people are the people who step on the ground.
Determined to return to the worship date, the Zhang family dropped their gifts and hurried home as if running away. Halfway through, I couldn't see the two uncles again. The family looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
It's really rare that Zhang's family is so embarrassed by giving gifts.
On the first day of the first grade, worship the ancestors, the second grade of the second grade, worship the uncle, the third grade "sweep the poor ghosts", and the fourth graders will go to the natal family.
Every fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the three rooms of the old Zhang family get together, and this day is also the day when Zhang’s daughter returns to her natal family. This rule has become the tradition of the old Zhang family since Grandpa Zhang was alive.
The daughter-in-laws of the old Zhang family want to go back to their parents' home, and it will be the sixth day at the earliest. According to Zhang's mother, the old man once said in his lifetime that no matter what happened on the fourth day of the lunar new year, he had to stop and attend the family gathering.
Therefore, on the fourth day of the new year, everyone flocked to Uncle Zhang's house. Fortunately, the yard of the boss Zhang Qingshan's house is large. Before noon, the main room and the east and west wing rooms were full.
In previous years, how hard the days were. This day was the family gathering of the old Zhang family. The ability to combine three rooms can also make up a few tables of wine and food. Especially when Grandpa Zhang was alive, there was no staple food on the table, but the dragon soup flying up the mountain, roasted. There is no shortage of venison, stewed wild boar. But now Uncle Zhang can only smile bitterly.
He is the deputy captain, and is the first to lead the way. If the old Zhang family went to the canteen, it is estimated that the rest of the team will be cleared.
What if outsiders say the old Zhang's son is good? Zhang Qingshan, the eldest son, led the younger brothers to act separately. In a short while, several companies gathered game, dried vegetables and other food and began to cook in the pot.
An ingenious family gathering was perfectly improved by the young generations of the old Zhang family. In the yard, two large stoves were screaming, and everyone who seduce the fragrance swallowed their saliva.
Early in the morning, Zhang Meili's four cousins ​​accompanied her husband with a bag of candies, and the children returned to their parents' home one after another.
Today, the four uncles have the ambition to bring sorghum burning together, which made the Zhang family man laugh with joy. The candies brought by the four sisters Zhang Meili were also distributed to the elders and neighbors in the clan by the three wives of Zhang's mother. The children happily got the lucky money and started playing firecrackers everywhere.
Until the sun went three poles, the old Zhang family finally looked forward to the old Zhang family's grandmother Zhang Dani and Liu Dazhuang's couple with their two grandchildren.
Four tables were placed in the main room, and as the stew was on the table, there was a burst of firecrackers inside. Everyone didn't have to say hello. As soon as the men took their seats, the women and children began to find places to sit down and wait for Uncle Zhang to speak.
Sitting on the table in front of the hall in front of the hall were the three brothers of Zhang, the old uncle Liu Dazhuang, four uncles, and Zhang Qingshan, the grandson of the old Zhang's parent and grandson who was in charge of pouring wine.
The eldest son and grandson have a special status in the old Zhang family and the third house. For example, Zhang Father and Zhang Xiaoshu never have the opportunity to speak first. For example, no matter how better Zhang Guoqing is than Zhang Qingshan, he has no right to pass the eldest grandson and be the first to worship the ancestor instead of the grandson. Father and son, Zhang Qingshan is the unashamed boss in the old Zhang family.
As Uncle Zhang picked up the chopsticks and said "start", there was a rapid sound of clashing with the tableware. The adults looked over and smiled knowingly.
Zhang Guoqing’s generation of younger brothers has enough brothers, but the next generation has more brothers. Two tables full of grandchildren and granddaughters of the old Zhang family huddled together. This person is really prosperous!
Uncle Zhang saw a group of radishes stop uneasy, and quickly smiled: "If you want to eat, eat it. If you eat, go out and play."
The children looked at the faces of their parents and stood up happily to pick up vegetables.
From this moment it is easy to see the character of the children and the education of their parents to their children.
Xizi and Ziwen took care of their younger brothers and sisters very steadily in a lively occasion where a bunch of children pushed me to rush, showing their brotherhood. The younger siblings were also very regular not to participate in the rush, sitting quietly in the position and eating the food caught in the front.
Uncle Zhang glanced enviously, but he didn't want to blame his grandchildren. He knew very well that his family was different and his children received different education.
Many people have paid attention to this scene, and each mind and thinking must be different. But in the New Year, no one can bear to say a few words about the child.
The children were happy, and the adults were happy, and soon moved to home cooking. The honest and loyal Liu Dazhuang, the old aunt, was warmly received by his nephews and sons-in-laws~EbookFREE.me~ and finally fell overwhelmed by alcohol.
Halfway through the wine tour, the children ate and drank, and began to hold the New Year's money and ran out.
Ping An couldn't control it anymore in Zhang Guoqing's arms, grabbed his dad's arm, smiled flatteringly, and pointed to the group of brothers and sisters who had left.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Guoqing hugged his son, slipped out of the yard, and called a group of children to go home. He bought a lot of firecrackers and fireworks, just to take his son to play. Now I have seized the opportunity.
An older child is holding a milk doll and is playing with firecrackers with a group of children. This kind of grand occasion brought the children from the village. It finally ended when the older child accidentally blasted his wooden barrel with Erlang's legs.
After the family banquet, it was broken five.
In the early morning of the fifth morning, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao began to clean up the garbage, set on firecrackers, and finished eating "broken" dumplings. Starting from this day, Zhou Jiao doesn't have to worry about New Year's taboos.
The constant visits of guests have caused a serious lack of sleep for the family.
She didn't care about her mother-in-law telling her to move her needle and thread first, or paying attention to others. Closing the door, the family lay on the kang and fell asleep.
Waking up again is the sixth day. In the early morning, the family of three began to rush to the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings again with large bags and small bags.
In the provincial capital, there are Zhao Chuanguang and his four uncles, the Huang family and the Zhao family. They rushed for the breakfast and dinner, and went back and forth non-stop.
Two days later, the family of three returned to the county with a bag full of red packets. Before he could take a breath, he immediately visited the elders and units to worship.
Haven't experienced the holiday, ushered in work. This busy Spring Festival is coming to an end for Zhang Guoqing. For Zhou Jiao and Ping An, every day is the Spring Festival.
The tribes worship together, and friends and relatives get together. With the sound of firecrackers, laughter, and time passed every day, the Spring Festival of 5-9 years left so quietly.
