Siheyuan: Wandering between Two Worlds

The family of the second uncle lived a good life, not as good as the rich but better than the poor. Jiang Yang did not want to interfere too much. If he wanted to do something big one day, he would help.

At 4 pm, it was time to plant incense (worship the ancestors). The men of the three families each carried a bamboo basket, a large roll of incense and straw paper to the ancestral hall. At this time, only men could go.

In fact, the ancestral hall was no longer the same as before, with all kinds of surnames. He did not know the specific reason. It was probably because they were divided according to the large groups when they were cooperatives.

Because their village had two large groups and two ancestral halls, divided into upper and lower.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the offerings would be placed directly below the plaque of the ancestral hall.

After everyone is gathered, they burn straw paper and light incense. Almost every household brings a bundle, so there are a lot of incense, which basically fills the entire ancestral hall.

Next is setting off firecrackers and fireworks. The firecrackers are bought in large quantities, with thousands or tens of thousands of bangs. Everyone pools their money to buy them.

After the firecrackers are over, everyone bows to the ancestral hall, and then they distribute cigarettes and draw lots.

The draw is calculated based on the number of households in the ancestral hall. The first and last households are selected as the organizers of the next year's incense. From collecting money from each household to buying firecrackers, these two families are responsible.

These young people actually don't know anything. They just follow the adults and come here in a daze. When they were young, they could pick up the missed ones after setting off firecrackers and use them to fry cow dung.

If you are unlucky, you will wear new clothes in vain and get beaten on the first day of the New Year!

But now the New Year atmosphere in the city has faded a lot. Fortunately, they are in the countryside. What pollution is not pollution? The firecrackers must be big and the fireworks must be bright.

They are poor here, but the money they spend on the New Year is no less than that in the city, or even more.

Jiang Yang bought a whole car of fireworks this time.

After drawing lots and distributing cigarettes, everyone went back to their own homes, and repeated the operations in the ancestral hall in their own homes. They needed to light incense in the hall and kitchen of their own homes.

So far, the men's work is over, and they are waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner.

What they eat in the evening is one of the offerings, chicken. When I was a child, I loved big chicken legs, one for each child.

There is no food to eat in the evening. The New Year's Eve dinner made today needs to be eaten tomorrow, because you can't cook or sweep the floor on the first day of the New Year, and men also need to make breakfast.

Four generations of the family are together for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the smile on the grandfather's face has never disappeared. He picks up food for this grandson and this granddaughter.

Except for the cousin who married out, their family members are all there. As for the eldest sister-in-law, she is no longer in their hearts.

"Ahem!" Grandpa Jiang Xuezhong cleared his throat, picked up a glass of wine and said loudly: "I am very happy this year. Our Jiang family's great-grandchildren are born. Come, let's drink a glass to our Xiaoya."

"Cheers!"

The family raised their glasses together and clinked them.

Grandpa still didn't sit down, and continued: "I dare not ask for great-grandchildren, but Xiaoteng, Xiaoyang, you also need to get married as soon as possible to expand our Jiang family."

"And Xiaohai, this kind of woman is not worth our nostalgia, we can find another one later, we are not bad, come, I hope everyone can get something next year, cheers!"

...

The old man was very happy and never stopped drinking. As expected, he got drunk soon and insisted on playing games with his great-granddaughter. They forcibly stopped him and sent him to bed.

It is said that people in the north eat dumplings during the New Year, but they are not allowed to eat rice here. If they want to eat some staple food, they can only eat noodles.

As for glutinous rice balls, they are eaten during the Lantern Festival, and they are not very common.

The after-dinner activities are the essence, the first item is setting off fireworks.

The three Jiangyang brothers took out all the fireworks they brought and placed them, and the three of them lit them together.

With a loud "bang", the fireworks bloomed in the air, like a fairy scattering flowers, and like a peacock spreading its tail, decorating the night sky into a colorful picture.

It can be described in a poem: The east wind blows thousands of flowers at night! It blows down, and the stars are like rain!

Jiang Fang kept chirping at the fireworks with her mobile phone, and I don’t know if what she said can be recorded.

After the fireworks, two mahjong tables in the living room on the second floor have been set up, with a brazier under the table and melon seeds and peanuts on the side of the table - listening to the Spring Festival Gala and playing mahjong is the next activity for the two.

They have a large family. Except for the father and grandmother holding their great-granddaughter and watching the Spring Festival Gala quietly, everyone else gathered together to play mahjong, mainly because his father didn’t know how to play.

Because they have to stay up all night, every household has lights on, and it should be very shocking if it is taken by aerial photography.

Jiang Yang's cell phone rang just as he sat down at the table. He looked at the caller ID and smiled bitterly, "Second brother, come on."

He returned to his room, opened his notebook, and answered the phone. Chen Qian's voice quickly rang over there,

"Happy New Year, Jiang Yang brother."

"Happy New Year, start the video, let me see if you have gained weight."

"Okay, let me see what your parents look like."

As they talked, the two switched to video. The first thing they saw was Chen Qian's snow-white long legs, and they could see pink~~~ He suspected that this girl was definitely doing it on purpose.

The camera moved upwards, and they saw four beauties bathing together. In the hazy room, there were so many colors.

"Oh, Qianqian, you big slut, you actually started a video in the bathroom, you are going to die!"

Duan Qing noticed her actions and quickly stood up to stop her, but it was not good, and Jiang Yang was feasting his eyes together!

Seeing the teasing in Duan Qing's eyes, Jiang Yang understood that this girl was doing it on purpose again! She really thought he had no temper.

In the past, he was concerned about Chen Qian's mood and couldn't do anything to them. Since these girls offered themselves to him, would he be a man if he didn't eat them? It's not like he couldn't afford to support them.

"Just wait for me, I'll go back and deal with you one by one."

"Hey, who's afraid of you? Just look at you, a little kid."

Duan Qing continued to provoke them. Jiang Yang, this bastard, was really indifferent to them. How could he bear it?

"Don't think I don't know that you peeked! Why are you still pretending here? Duan Qing, wait, I'll be the first to beat you for three days and three nights when I get back!"

Duan Qing's face turned red instantly, and she straightened her big bear and continued to provoke with her eyes.

Jiang Yang had a violent temper, but he couldn't do anything to her.

"Xiao Qing, Jiang Yang is really good at beating people, aren't you afraid? Qianqian is often beaten so badly that she can't even get out of bed."

Mu Wanting's words made her face even redder, and she rushed over and covered her mouth to stop her from talking.

Xie Feiyan's face was calm, she smiled sweetly at Jiang Yang, and said gently: "Happy New Year."

"Yes, Happy New Year, wait for me to go back."

"Yes!"

Many things are precious only when they are far away. Just like Jiang Yang's love, Xie Feiyan has begun to miss him. She has regretted why she was afraid at night several times!

Liu Xueqin was in the bathroom next door, listening to the chirping laughter of several people, her eyes full of envy. She missed Jiang Yang very much after seeing him for so many days.

At this age, it's okay not to experience the wind and rain, but after experiencing it, it's uncomfortable if the water channel is blocked.

I suffocate several times under the quilt every night. Who can stand so many long legs!

I chatted with several people for an hour before hanging up the video. There was no way, several calls came in.

~~~

"Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year."

Han Xi's voice sounded, and Jiang Yang replied casually: "Happy New Year."

The phone never stopped calling, familiar calls, unfamiliar text messages

It lasted until 12 o'clock, and the number of calls finally decreased.

Jiang Yang's phone was about to run out of battery.

At this time, Cheng Yunzhu called, and Jiang Yang quickly rejected the call.

Cheng Yunzhu and Old Cheng, who were thousands of miles away, were stunned on the spot. She couldn't stand her grandfather's trickery, so she decided to make this call, but she didn't expect to be rejected.

This was the first time she took the initiative to contact a boy for something other than business, but was rejected. Before she could get upset, a video invitation from WeChat rang.

"Answer it, I know this guy is staring at you, how could I refuse it."

Old man Cheng sat next to her and encouraged her. This granddaughter was good in everything, but she was just this kind of personality. He was worried that this granddaughter would be lonely for the rest of her life after he left.

During this period, several old friends said that Cheng Yunzhu took a boy to dinner, and the two got along well. After asking, he knew that this person was Jiang Yang.

He still had an impression of this person. Apart from being a little lustful, he didn't seem to have any major problems. But as a man, he knew that this was a common problem for men.

Cheng Yunzhu connected to Jiang Yang's video, and saw Jiang Yang smiling, staring at her without hiding his joy.

"Yunzhu, I didn't expect you to call me. I'm really flattered."

"Happy New Year, Jiang Yang."

"Happy New Year, Yunzhu."

"Happy New Year, Jiang boy."

Suddenly, Old Man Cheng also leaned over and greeted Jiang Yang.

"Old Cheng is here too. Happy New Year. I'll see you when I return to Guangzhou."

"Hehe, it's good to see me, but remember to bring the wine you gave me last time. It's so fragrant. My old friends all say that this wine tastes good."

Of course it tastes good. That's 2 million per bottle.

"No problem. Yunzhu's grandfather is my grandfather. If you want to drink, call me anytime."

"Ahem~~~!" Old Man Cheng didn't expect this kid to be so accommodating.

Jiang Yang looked at her granddaughter weakly, and was relieved to see that she was not angry.

You know, when Cheng Yunzhu loses her temper, the temperature in the house feels several degrees lower.

Cheng Yunzhu rolled her eyes at Jiang Yang. This guy is still like this, but she is already familiar with Jiang Yang's style.

"Yunzhu, why do you feel fatter?"

"No! Still the same."

"I don't believe it, you are definitely fatter, you are much more important in my heart."

Cheng Yunzhu's eyes were flustered, this sentence~~~ "Why is my heart beating faster?"

She couldn't help but look at the grandfather beside her, only to see his mouth twitching, looking around, and sighing: "The moon is so bright today, but it lacks someone to accompany it. Yunzhu, grandpa will go to accompany the moon first."

Then he ran upstairs in two steps.

Cheng Yunzhu took a long breath, looking at the man in the phone, and didn't know how to answer for a while. This feeling was a bit strange.

"Yunzhu, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I~~~I'm going to accompany Yueyue, that's it for now."

"Ah?"

Jiang Yang scratched his head, what kind of excuse is this?

Looking at the hung up video, he couldn't help but slap his mouth, "You're so naughty, Yunzhu won't be angry, right?"

"Alas! The road is long and arduous, why is Yunzhu so elusive?"

Cheng Yunzhu's expression was too indifferent, and with her simple and elegant dress, he couldn't find a way to adapt.

Yunzhu hit a wall here, it seems that he has to find some fun in other people, otherwise he can't sleep at night.
