Chapter 32 - Huang Family, Golden Treasure
Chen Tiezheng and the others went to pay New Year’s greetings to the third master and the others, while Chen Lieyang and his brothers went to their neighbor’s Huang’s house to pay New Year’s greetings.
The Huang family and the Su family are both neighbors of the Chen family, but the Su family is the neighbor on the left of the Chen family, and the Huang family is on the right. The current youngest son of the Huang family, Huang Yunhai, is a good brother who grew up with Chen Tiezheng, but he is only one year younger than Chen Tiezheng.
Huang Yunhai also has an elder brother at home, but he got married early and moved out to live. Now, Huang Yunhai lives with the old man at home.
In addition to an eldest brother, Huang Yunhai also has three sisters. The sisters are married, and the eldest brother does not live with his parents, so Huang Yunhai lives with the old man.
It’s just that Huang Yunhai’s father has long since passed away, and now there is an old mother who lives with him.
The old lady still likes the younger son, so the old lady lives with the younger son instead of the eldest son who has been married long ago.
Huang Yunhai and Chen Tiezheng have a good relationship. Huang Yunhai’s wife Li Qiuhua has a good relationship with Yu’s. In recent years, Chen Tiezheng’s absence is also due to the help of the Huang family. Yu’s did not suffer so much.
Chen Lieyang took his younger brothers to pay New Year’s greetings, which made the Huang Yunhai family very happy, and everyone was very welcome to come to their house to pay New Year’s greetings.
Everyone can’t afford firecrackers these days, and every family setting off firecrackers during New Year’s greetings can’t afford it, but they can be added to the incense sticks.
Chen Lieyang took his younger brothers to the Huang family and Huang Yunhai to pay New Year’s greetings, and then led the younger brothers to the Huang family’s kitchen to light the incense that they brought when they were hungry, and then put the incense into the ashes beside the stove.
This is a local custom. Of course, when you have money, you will go to other people’s homes to set off firecrackers and then go to the host’s kitchen to burn incense and stick it into the ashes by the stove.
Now everyone is very poor and can’t afford so many firecrackers, but the custom of putting incense on the host’s stove is still preserved.
Chen Lieyang and the others have lived in Qianwan Village for so many years. They come here every year during Chinese New Year. They have long been used to this custom.
Chen Lieyang led the four younger brothers to burn incense and left the kitchen. Huang Yunhai and his son stood at the door of the kitchen waiting for Chen Lieyang to come out.
“Lieyang has grown into a big boy.” Huang Yunhai looked at Chen Lieyang who was tall and straight, and couldn’t help but be happy for Chen Tiezheng.
Although Chen Lieyang is only thirteen years old, he has been helping the Yu family to work together very early, and he has become more and more capable over the years.
Huang Yunhai looked at his eldest son Jinbao again, this boy’s name sounds really lucky, but unfortunately he is not as capable as Chen Lieyang, hey…
“Brother Lieyang, you come to our house for New Year’s greetings, will you have dinner with us in a while?” Jin Jinbao said to Chen Lieyang with a smile.
Jin Jinbao was already twelve years old. Like his father, Huang Yunhai was one year younger than Chen Tiezheng, and Jin Jinbao was also one year younger than Chen Lieyang.
But Jin Jinbao likes to play with Chen Lieyang very much, and Jin Jinbao’s grandmother would not object to Jin Jinbao and Chen Lieyang’s brothers playing.
Chen Tiezheng of the Chen family is a soldier. Although there are many children in the family, Chen Tiezheng’s family is still doing well. Chen Lieyang and the others are sensible and capable. Of course, the old lady will not think that the Chen family is taking advantage of her own family, but she feels that her grandson and Chen Lieyang are the same. When they play together, they can get a lot of benefits from Chen Lieyang and the others.
For example, some time ago, when Chen Lieyang and the others went to the beach to catch the sea in order to improve their meals, or when they went out to fish in a boat, the Golden Treasure also got a lot of benefits.
Jin Jinbao also sincerely likes to work with Chen Lieyang by his side. When Chen Lieyang practiced martial arts, Jin Jinbao also learned a few tricks and styles.
In the eyes of Huang Jinbao, Chen Lieyang is his idol, and he is his boss. He listens to Chen Lieyang for everything and eats meat with the boss.
So seeing Chen Lieyang coming from home to pay New Year’s greetings, Huang Jinbao was very happy, he wanted Chen Lieyang and the others to stay and have a meal together.
