Northern China.
It's the rule in the countryside that at the beginning of the first month, a new year's greeting is given to the elders of the family.
Nothing else.
To leave Hu Fangyin's home is to follow the team to pay New Year's greetings.
It took an hour and a half to complete the new year's call. During this period, the year of worship for the living can be counted. There are countless years of worship for the dead.
Many families have invited a family hall. The so-called grandfather and grandmother. Like this, when you enter the door, you need to kowtow to your grandfather and grandmother first, and then pay New Year's greetings to the elder generation.
I got up at five in the morning, and it was already half past seven when I got home. Fortunately, Li Qingfeng and Hu Xiaodie are OK. They have already cooked their meals on the coal stove.
After breakfast, Hu Xiaolin followed his father out. Pay a new year's visit to those elders who are close to each other on weekdays.
You can't do it empty handed this time. The objects of new year's greetings are not necessarily family members.
But there's one thing in common: it's the elders of all the families.
The purchase of gifts is also very simple, generally milk and eight treasure porridge and so on.
This year, however, Hu Shuxiang prepared smoked and raw meat packed in vacuum bags.
These are all products of mushroom brand agricultural products company. It's not only respectable, but also revealing.
This time I went out for a full morning. Lunch was at the head of the Zhao family. Originally, Hu Xiaolin and his father Hu Shuxiang planned to leave, but they were not allowed to leave.
Nothing else in the afternoon, just sit at home and have a rest.
However, there is no chance to rest on the first day of this year. When Hu Xiaolin was in mushroom village, many young people of his generation came to pay New Year's greetings. There are even villagers of the same generation as Hu Shuxiang coming to say hello.
Therefore, the whole afternoon, Hu Xiaolin and his family are busy.
Welcome the guests. It's very busy.
Fortunately, her mother Cui Shufen had foresight and prepared enough melon seeds and candy.
The bustling first day of junior high school was spent in tension.
After a good sleep, at seven o'clock the next morning, Hu Xiaolin, who was sleeping, received a call from his mother Cui Shufen, asking him to go home for dinner and pay a new year's visit.
According to the rules of northern China, the second day of the Lunar New Year is for my uncle. On this day, those who have aunts pay New Year's greetings to their aunts and uncles; those who have no aunts pay New Year's greetings to their aunts and uncles.
Hu Shuxiang is the only child.
According to the rules, Hu Xiaolin should pay New Year's greetings to his uncle and aunt.
In previous years, although Hu Xiaolin also passed by, he just came back after a new year's visit. Uncle and aunt do not keep people, which is easy and simple.
But this year is not the same, uncle Hu Yueqiang some time ago came to the door, but also because of the business quarreled.
At breakfast, Hu Xiaolin couldn't help saying, "mother. Can we not go to our uncle and aunt's this year? "
"No!" Cui Shufen refused without thinking about it. She said earnestly: "Xiao Lin, we are just such a brother! If you don't pay New Year's greetings, will others laugh? I know you don't want to go, but can you consider my mother's feelings? "
After grabbing his hair, Hu Xiaolin said helplessly: "Cheng! Let's go after dinner. He'll stay us for lunch, so we won't come back. Let's not go home. "
"Yes Cui Shufen nodded and said, "don't blame us, Xiao Lin. Who wants us to have only one son? "
Hu Xiaolin grinned and said, "mother, I have never complained about you."
Cui Shufen nodded with a smile and said, "if you go, talk less and listen more. If our brother puts on face, you can find an excuse to come back. If he's smart, you'll stay for dinner. "
"Good!" Hu Xiaolin nodded and said with a smile: "Niang. Don't worry. We'll get things done. "
Just finished, Hu Shuxiang said: "don't talk about the new year, Xiao Lin is not a three-year-old. Old lady, put your heart in your heart. Our Xiaolin has seen so much of the world. You don't have to tell them to be in such a mess. "
"Can't you let us finish?" Cui Shufen glared at Hu Shuxiang and said: "I don't want to quarrel with you during the Spring Festival. Xiao Lin, remember what we said. "
After eating and drinking enough, Hu Xiaolin took the stewed meat and raw meat from his mother, put them on the back seat, waved his hand and said, "Dad, mom, go back. If anything happens, I'll call you Then he started the car.
Cui Shufen nodded and said, "Xiao Lin, remember what we said."
Hu Xiaolin answered and drove the Ford Raptor out of mushroom village.
Cui Shufen's family is Cui cunpu. Cui Yueqiang also lives there.
Cuitun is not far from mushroom shop in more than 20 minutes. In the past, Hu Xiaolin used to ride a bicycle, which took nearly an hour.
Cui and the village committee also went to the Lantern Village to raise new chickens.
Just as Ford's Raptor entered the village, a girl with curly hair, a woolen coat, trousers and eyebrows rushed to the car.This is Cui Yuxia, the youngest daughter of her uncle Cui Yueqiang.
Hu Xiaolin suddenly stepped on the brake, but said: "can you slow down next time? Fortunately I drive slowly, otherwise something must happen
"Kobayashi, even if you bump into me, I won't blame you." Cui Yuxia came to the front of the car and said, "can I get on the bus?"
"Yes." Hu Xiaolin said and opened the door.
Cui Yuxia, sitting in the co pilot's seat, sighed: "brother Xiaolin, you are really getting better and better. This car costs at least five or six hundred thousand, right? By the way, how much did you make last year? Why are you willing to buy such an expensive car? "
"Not much." Hu Xiaolin avoided this topic and asked, "how did you come to the village?"
"If I don't come to the village to meet you, don't you forget me?" Cui Yuxia glanced at Hu Xiaolin and said, "brother Xiaolin, I heard that you are going to expand your business this year, and you still need to recruit workers?"
"There is a plan." Hu Xiaolin said with a smile.
Cui Yuxia said with a smile: "can you arrange a suitable job for me? Just the deputy general manager or the Department. You can give me eight thousand a month. I don't care about bonuses and benefits. You can give them if you want, or you can pull them down if you don't want to. "
Damn it!
What a lion! Hu Xiaolin almost scolded his mother! Hu Xiaolin's anger has been suppressed, and the company has the final say. I'm only in charge of business. I don't ask about anything else. "
"Xiaoya? Is it Xu Heng Lu's granddaughter? " Cui Yuxia saw Hu Xiaolin nodding and said, "brother Xiaolin, how can you see her? With your present conditions, it's not easy to find the daughter of a big boss? When you get married, you will join hands and make a lot of money. By the way, one of my classmates runs a cot factory at home. I'm also an only child. How about I introduce it to you? "
