Chapter 1496: Farewell with Tears (New Year's Day Event Plus 25)

February 12, 1988, the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It was just past six in the morning when Wang Meilan had just put the hot pig-killing dishes and sticky bean buns on the table when Li Baoyu rushed into the room.

"Brother, aunt, uncle, third uncle!" Li Baoyu was not a slouch, and greeted everyone as soon as he entered the room, but it was obvious that he greeted them according to their closeness.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Youcai looked at his anxious look and then looked at the clock on the wall.

It was only six o'clock, and it was not even light outside.

"Uncle, let's perform "Journey to the West"!" Li Baoyu's words made Zhao Youcai and the other four stunned.

"Second daughter, old daughter! Let's perform "Journey to the West"!" Wang Meilan immediately found an excuse to wake up the two little girls, and went to the east room to wake up Zhao Hong and Zhao Na.

The Zhao family is very busy today. Zhao Youcai is going to Zhou's house in Yongsheng, Wang Meilan is going to Wang Qiang's house with two little girls, and Zhao Jun has to go to Lin Xiangshun's house.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun are easy to deal with, but Wang Meilan needs to take two little burdens with her. If she wants to go there early, she still has to help the two little girls get up and eat. After they finish eating, Wang Meilan has to wash the dishes and clean the stove.

After all, these days, no family that is going through life will just pile up the used dishes and chopsticks there after dinner.

And there is a group activity around 7:30 today, which is to send Jie Sun home.

Wang Meilan must attend this activity.

Children sleep a lot, and Zhao Hong was grumbling when she was woken up just after 6 o'clock.

But when she heard that "Journey to the West" was being performed, Zhao Hong still cooperated and got dressed.

Seven or eight minutes later, Zhao Hong sat on the kang in a daze, and Wang Meilan was braiding Zhao Na's hair beside her.

The two little girls who hadn't woken up yet had dull expressions at the moment, and were a little confused.

But when Li Baoyu switched to "Journey to the West" and saw the scene of Sun Wukong eating noodles in the restaurant, the two little girls' eyes sparkled.

Because Li Baoyu's body was in the way, Zhao Hong's body kept tilting to the right.

Zhao Jun stood by the side at the door of the east room and asked Li Baoyu to sit down and eat together.

Yesterday's leftover pig-killing dishes and garlic sprouts that had been cooked again, Li Baoyu also ate this when he went home, but he preferred to eat with Zhao Jun.

The 1986 version of "Journey to the West" was definitely suitable for all ages. Even Xing San was quickly attracted by the plot and pictures. The old mountain dog, who was holding the bowl and shoveling rice into his mouth, never left the TV.

It was only a little over 6:40 when the two little girls finished their meal. Wang Meilan was very satisfied and started washing the dishes in the outer room.

At this moment, the dog outside the house suddenly barked twice.

Judging from the dog's reaction, the person who came should be an acquaintance. But it was still dark at this time, who could it be?

After a while, Zhang Yuanmin came in.

"Yuanmin is here!" Wang Meilan saw it was him and immediately greeted him, saying, "Hurry into the house, the kang has just been heated, it's warm."

It was not a newly heated kang, Zhao Jun and his gang were sitting on the kang, and there was still a fire in the kang hole below.

People in the south have never seen a kang, so they thought that the old and young on the kang were going to be roasted.

"Ah!" Seeing Zhang Yuanmin come in, Li Baoyu, who was sitting at the door, asked directly: "Brother Zhang, are you here to watch "Journey to the West"? "

Zhao Jun heard this and hurriedly pulled Li Baoyu. At this time, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhang Yuanmin in surprise and said, "Yuanmin, aren't you going to Yongfu today?"

A few days ago, when Zhao Jun and his team were catching pigs in Yongxing Brigade, Zhang Yuanmin had said that the relatives from Yang Yufeng's family never called their family every year when they slaughtered pigs.

But this year they called them.

Moreover, the letter was delivered the day before yesterday, and it was Yang Yufeng's cousin Yang Manshuang who came in person.

But Zhang Yuanmin and Zhao Youcai went up the mountain that day, and Yang Manshuang told Yang Yufeng that they should go to their house to eat pork on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

When Zhang Yuanmin came back in the evening, Yang Yufeng happily told him about this.

Yang Yufeng thought it was a good thing. Her parents did not forget to call her when they slaughtered pigs. Yang Yufeng felt very proud.

But what Yang Yufeng did not expect was that Zhang Yuanmin's face was directly sulked, and he cursed. He said that when his family was not doing well before, no one thought about him. In the past, they didn't say that they slaughtered pigs every year, but they had to kill two every three years, but no one came to Yongxing to call them.

Now that his family has just recovered, someone came to find him directly. Who is this person?

Although that was the case, Yang Yufeng and Zhang Yuanmin had different ideas. After all, that was her mother's home. Unless Yang Yufeng wanted to completely break off with that place, she had to eat this pig-killing meal.

But Zhang Yuanmin said he would not go. He was stubborn and obstinate when he was poor before, and his ideas were correct. Yang Yufeng could not do anything when he really got angry.

Hearing Zhao Youcai's question, Zhang Yuanmin reached out to take the cigarette handed by Zhao Youcai, and said, "Whoever wants to go, go, I'm not going!"

"Brother!" Although Yang Yufeng was not there, Zhao Jun still helped Yang Yufeng to persuade Zhang Yuanmin, saying, "If you don't go, how can my sister-in-law go?"

"Then I won't go either!" Zhang Yuanmin rarely refused Zhao Jun in person. He twisted his body and said angrily to Zhao Jun, "Brother, you don't know! I'm not thinking about their food, what do you think? When I was in trouble... Hey..."

At this time, Li Baoyu handed over the lit match and interrupted Zhang Yuanmin's complaint.

After lighting up the cigarette and taking a puff, Zhang Yuanmin calmed down a little. Shilin cigarettes were indeed good to smoke, and they calmed Zhang Yuanmin's emotions to a certain extent.

"Let's talk." Zhang Yuanmin spread his hands and said, "My mother-in-law is sick. She is from the Yang family, right?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Yang Yufeng's mother was indeed from the Yang family.

"If she is sick, I will pay to find someone to see her." Zhang Yuanmin said, "It's really difficult. The other day, my mother Lingdang went back and asked to borrow 40 yuan from them, but they didn't lend it to her."

As soon as Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, two more dog barks were heard outside the house.

Yang Yufeng came with little Lingdang.

"Auntie!" As soon as the door was opened, Yang Yufeng asked Wang Meilan, "Is that wicked thing in my family here?"

Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this, raised her hand and pointed to the east room, and whispered, "It's in the room."

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, she heard Zhao Hong's voice from the room: "Lingdang! Come on, play "Journey to the West"!"

Little Lingdang is much more sensible than Zhao Hong. She knew that her parents were unhappy, and looked up at Yang Yufeng.

Yang Yufeng gently pushed Xiao Lingdang on the back and took her into the east room.

"Lingdang, come quickly!" Zhao Na called Xiao Lingdang, and Yang Yufeng said to Zhang Yuanmin unhappily: "Why are you running out so early in the morning?"

"I want to!" Zhang Yuanmin said in the same bad tone: "I can go wherever I want."

Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Yang Yufeng was helpless. This bad boy in her family just didn't want to go, and she couldn't do anything about it.

But at Zhao Jun's house, Yang Yufeng immediately looked at Zhao Jun for help.

Zhao Jun smiled and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, let's go."

As he said that, Zhao Jun didn't give Zhang Yuanmin a chance to speak, and pointed to the watch on his wrist and said: "We have money, we have to let them know, let them know. This is the watch my sister-in-law gave you, you can take it and let them see it."

"Then... I don't want to bother with them either." Zhang Yuanmin's attitude eased a lot, but he still didn't give in.

"Brother, go ahead." Zhao Jun advised again: "I'll drive the big jeep to take you three there in a while. Let's let them see that my brother is getting better."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhang Yuanmin was silent.

The content of the first post without any mistakes is in the book bar of 16-9!

"Brother, I won't bother you." Yang Yufeng said to Zhao Jun: "Why are you bothering? It's so cold."

"It's okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Jun winked at Yang Yufeng, meaning that it's OK as long as your Zhang Yuanmin can go.

So, Zhao Jun said to Zhang Yuanmin again: "Brother, then we have a deal. I'll drive to pick you up in the afternoon."

"No need." Zhang Yuanmin held Zhao Jun's arm, then turned to look at Yang Yufeng and said: "Before I come back, let them use the sled to take me there!"

Yang Yufeng heard this and rolled her eyes at Zhang Yuanmin but didn't say anything.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Yuanmin got excited and asked Yang Yufeng, "Did you hear that?"

"Don't worry." Yang Yufeng curled her lips and said, "They don't use a sled to send you, I'll carry it back for you, okay?"

When Yang Yufeng said this, everyone was amused, and Zhang Yuanmin also laughed.

The couple talked and laughed, and the matter was over. This is how a couple lives, just accommodate each other.

"Let's go." Seeing that the couple stopped arguing, Wang Meilan called out, "Let's send Xiaochen and the others."

As she said this, Wang Meilan waved her hand at the north window and said, "We still have to catch pigs for him."

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, except for Xing San and the three children, everyone else got up and walked out.

There's no need to mention the three children, and Xing San knew that he wouldn't be needed to catch pigs, and he didn't plan to send Jie Sun's family.

Li Dayong and Li Ruhai, who came out from next door, together with Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai and Li Baoyu, caught three big black pigs in the backyard of Zhao's house.

Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun's families were slaughtering pigs today, so they might as well catch the pigs and send them to them while there was a car.

The three pigs were loaded into the car, and Wang Meilan went into the house to call the three little girls.

Sending Jie Sun was a big deal. If Jie Sun was not allowed to vent her emotions, she might not leave.

Xiao Lingdang was easy to say. Even if Jie Sun was not sent, she would have left soon.

But Zhao Hong and Zhao Na were not happy. They had "Journey to the West" but they were not going out to talk nonsense?

However, they could not get the upper hand, and the two little girls were forced to put on cotton jackets and dragged out of the house.

Li Xiaoqiao from next door had the same experience as them.

Everyone got on the back of the Jiefang car, and Zhao Jun drove to deliver the pigs to Wang and Lin's homes first. At this time, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were sitting in the passenger seat.

Suddenly, Zhao Youcai spoke up and said to Zhao Jun: "Hey? After you send your brother Zhang and the others off, you can drive our big jeep to Yongsheng for me."

Zhao Youcai wanted to show off his big jeep.

"That's not convenient." Wang Meilan interrupted, and Zhao Youcai questioned: "Why can you send others off, but not his father?"

"Dad." Zhao Jun turned to Zhao Youcai and said: "I'll be on the way later, so let him take you there."

"I..." Zhao Youcai was a little unhappy. How could there be a big jeep and a party in the Jiefang? But he wanted to say something, but heard Zhao Jun say: "After that, wait for two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I will drive you there, isn't it okay?"

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai thought about it and felt that he could accept it if he had a car to ride back and forth.

...

As New Year's Eve was approaching, the village was increasingly filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.

That early morning, sporadic firecrackers could be heard from every corner of the village. Little boys gathered in groups of three or five, playing happily with the small firecrackers they had picked up.

When Zhao Jun and others arrived outside the Jiang family's courtyard, they found the two brothers Jie Zhong and Jie Chen wandering outside the house.

"What's going on?" As soon as the car stopped, Li Dayong in the trunk shouted to the two of them: "Why don't you go in?"

"My mother and my grandmother Jiang are crying in the house." Xie Chen said helplessly. Wang Meilan, who got off the passenger seat, couldn't help but pull the corner of her mouth and said: "Why do this every time?"

"Isn't it just going back for a few days, and will come back after it's over?" Zhao Youcai asked puzzledly. The last time Xie Sunshi and Xie Chen went home, he was in Yongxing Brigade and didn't see such a "touching" farewell scene.

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Xie Zhong said helplessly: "Who knows, we dare not ask."

Everyone hurried to the front of the house, and as soon as they opened the door, they heard Xie Sunshi crying from inside: "Auntie, I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Recently, several families watch TV every day, and no one has learned less.

Hearing the crying, Zhang Yuanmin, who had not yet entered the house, could not help but shake his head and said, "I am reluctant to leave."

After Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, Li Baoyu continued, "I shed tears and said goodbye."

"It's so touching!" Li Ruhai made a final summary, earning a roll of the eyes from Li Zhong.
