Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 554: Such an adult comes with a red envelope for New Year greetings
Everyone's sadness is real and the pain is real, but the lives of ordinary people are always surrounded by daily necessities. No matter what the situation above is, everyone has to go on living their lives, and the Chinese New Year is very close now.

Everyone's life has gradually returned to the previous situation, but there is a trace of confusion and uneasiness in many people's eyes. It is a kind of panic after losing the backbone and the Dinghai Shenzhen.

Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and the increasingly strong New Year flavor in Sijiu City has covered up these conditions of the people.

23. Tang Guo Guo, no matter how the adults are feeling at the moment, they are all brought back to reality by the expectations and laughter of the hazy and ignorant children, and the somewhat dull atmosphere that originally enveloped the common people has been diluted a little.

Sister Han and brother-in-law went to deliver New Year's goods to her parents' house today. Because this was the first time that her uncle came to visit her during the New Year, neither Dad nor Mom went to work today and made a special trip to wait for Dai Jing'an at home.

Considering that the next generation Jing'an would have to take his pregnant eldest sister home, I only tasted two cups during the meal.

When they left, in addition to the things Han's mother had prepared for her daughter, Han Li also brought a "peony" to Dai Jing'an.

24. Clean the house.

After Han Li worked overtime in the past few days, he not only finished all the translation documents sent by Gong Jianglong, but also finished a large amount of "Stretching Pain Relief Cream" entrusted by Aunt Liu. However, he has not yet given it to "Aunt Liu" "Call up.

Today is the 24th of the Lunar New Year, and every household is cleaning the house.

The Yun sisters, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi and the others took over this job, and would go to Master Li's place to help clean up later. The others only had to go to work, go home, and eat.

Han Li went out on his bicycle early this morning with translated documents and some prepared New Year gifts, and headed west to Mr. Liu.

But it is a pity that Mr. Liu is not here, and neither is Gong Jianglong. I heard that the guard in the building said that Mr. Liu often goes out during this period, and sometimes he comes back very late.

The original Han Li would have thought about the situation, but after what happened on the Ten Mile Street, he was too lazy to think about the problems now. It was too high, too far, and too tiring.

Han Li left the place after leaving his things. Now that the ointment and translation are all done, no one can stop him from living like a salted fish a year ago. Once the Lantern Festival is over, he will immediately return to Shanghe Village to continue living in obscurity.

26. Stewed pork, Han Li reluctantly walked out of the house today, went to the street and dialed Aunt Liu's number.

After putting down the phone, Han Li asked a crow to keep an eye on the area and ignored it. He turned around and went to the nearby black market.

It's a pity that he didn't find anything good here, but this didn't affect Han Li's return when he came back, carrying all kinds of fresh meat and river delicacies needed for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Han Li went to the homes of his junior high school and high school teachers for a while.

As for Aunt Liu, she didn't take the "Stretch Pain Relief Cream" away until the night of New Year's Eve. This was impossible before, but it also shows that the current situation is special.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Aunt Liu, who looked a little tired, found Han Li, said a few words and left a thank you gift before leaving in a hurry.

On New Year's Eve, Sijiu City, which used to be bustling with firecrackers from noon, has become relatively quiet this year. There are only the occasional firecrackers lit by children on the street, and there is rarely the continuous sound of firecrackers. .

Most people have even changed their couplets to the original format from eight or nine years ago, without even the slightest bit of super-classic words.

While the family was busy working in the house, Han Li sat in the yard and played with the dog.

At this time, the sound of a car was heard outside, and then Gong Jianglong appeared at Han Li's house.

"Brother is here, come in quickly and sit down. You will eat dumplings at my house later."

"Brother Han, you also know that I can't leave for too long, and I have to go to several places today. Next time, next time I have the opportunity, I will definitely try my family's cooking."

Next, Gong Jianglong whispered about the recent situation, as well as Mr. Liu's praise for his article, and also pointed out that it could not be announced to the public yet. Finally, he reported that a leader said angrily: "It's sad to hear the ghosts screaming." , I cry and jackals laugh." However, Han Li did not take up the topic, but chose to ask about Mr. Liu.

"Is Mr. Liu okay?"

"It's nothing serious. I just drank a lot these past two days..."

After a brief conversation, Gong Jianglong put down the translation fee that Han Li deserved and a large bundle of hairtail and left in a hurry.

After sending this person away, Han Li returned to the house, picked up the things Han's mother had prepared a long time ago, and rode his bicycle to the master's side.

The recovery speed of internal organs was slower than Han Li imagined, so Master Li's condition still didn't change much.

Han Li was talking to his master in the room, and not long after, the Han sisters, the Yun sisters, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi all came.

After they arrived, they started kneading noodles, mixing stuffing, and making dumplings until Father Han and Mother Han came back from the unit.

Master Li didn't prepare firecrackers like Han Li's family, so everyone just had a simple meal and drank some wine.

After returning home, we get together to play cards, chess, and chat. When we feel sleepy, we go straight back to the house to sleep.

Bingchen year, Jichou month, Renwu day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, January 1 of the Gregorian calendar.

Although Han Li's family did not prepare firecrackers, they still got up early.Kowtow, eat dumplings, and pay New Year greetings, and then hang out with Yu Daqiang, drink and chat with the neighbors.

No one else went to the streets to watch the excitement like in previous years, because there was nothing lively to see on the streets this year.

There were just groups of people with red armbands running on the streets, and they clashed with people who came to worship from time to time.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Han Li still got up early in the morning, but he did not go to Haizi to practice boxing today. He was just stretching his muscles in the yard when Han's mother started urging him.

"Hurry up and go to your eldest sister's house to pay New Year greetings. If our family is late, we should let our parents take care of it."

"But it's just dawn now? Maybe they haven't gotten up yet."

"Stop the ink. These days, there are bicycles for transportation. It's already too late for you to go. In the past, if the distance between our two families was further away and we had more sisters, I would have been preparing to leave for New Year greetings in the middle of the night."

Han Li washed up and set off after his mother's nagging. When he arrived at Lanmian Alley, the Dai family members had not only gotten up, but also cleaned the house very clean.

The purpose of visiting the house at this time was to pay New Year greetings. Han Li actually got a red envelope after paying New Year greetings to the two elders of the Dai family?This really made him feel a little embarrassed for such an old man. When he wanted to refuse, the eldest sister and the other two took him to their room.

"Sister, this red envelope?"

"Here you go. Just take it. This is what you should get in the first year. If they don't give it to me, I will give it to you. But in the future, unless you bring your children, it will be difficult to see the red envelope in that room. "

The two siblings were talking in the room, and the eldest brother-in-law Dai Jing'an then prepared several dishes and took Han Li to start drinking.

Although Han Li knew that this was a rule and etiquette, he was really uncomfortable with drinking alcohol so early in the morning. Then he thought that after his second sister and younger sister got married, wouldn't he have to drink three times in a row on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year? Drinks?Immediately I felt a numbness in my scalp.

Although Han Li could break down the alcohol, water without alcohol was very unpleasant to drink, and it tasted worse than pot water.

During this period, the acting father and the eldest brother of the acting family came over and had two drinks with each other. However, they all had their own guests to accompany, so they went out after drinking.

After eating and drinking enough, Han Li couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise it would be too late for the eldest sister to return to her parents' home.

Han Li got up and went to the house to say goodbye to the two elders of the Dai family, then rode his bicycle to take the first step. As for Sister Han, after packing up, she would carry the gifts and follow her brother-in-law home.

However, on Han Li's way home, he heard someone calling his name as soon as he reached Xuanwu Gate.

"Han Li, Han Li, please wait."

When Han Li heard the shouting, he was a little puzzled. He was wrapped tightly enough, with a scarf and a Lei Feng hat. His whole face was exposed with a pair of eyes. How could anyone recognize him?

When he stopped his bicycle and looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a young woman riding a bicycle heading towards him, but she was also wrapped tightly, but Han Li couldn't remember who this person was. .

"Han Li, it's me, Tian Xiaoxia, don't you recognize me?"

The young woman who called herself Tian Xiaoxia moved her scarf down as she spoke, revealing a face that was somewhat familiar but had become darker and thicker.

"Tian Xiaoxia, how can I recognize you with just your eyes?"

"You also only showed your eyes, didn't I still recognize you? If you can't recognize me, it only means that you don't take our friendship as classmates for so many years to heart."

"Haha, maybe I drank some wine when I was visiting relatives. I was dizzy and rushed home and didn't pay attention. When did you come back from northern Shaanxi?"

"I came back years ago and originally wanted to meet you at the class reunion, but your sister Chunying said that you had been busy and couldn't spare the time to attend, so I planned to meet you before leaving. Unexpectedly We actually met today."

The two of them chatted for a while on the roadside. Han Li was a little bored and left with the excuse that he was going home to prepare a banquet for his eldest sister and brother-in-law. Tian Xiaoxia took off her gloves and took out a handkerchief from her pocket. After unfolding it, he took out 20 yuan and handed it over.

"This is the money I borrowed from you last time. If it hadn't been for your 20 yuan, I'm not sure whether I could have survived that year."

Han Li is not short of this money now. Moreover, Tian Xiaoxia's character is very different from Qi Ruying's, and their life there is indeed very hard, so he did not take the money handed over by the other party immediately.

"Compared to where you are in northern Shaanxi, I'm doing pretty well in Northeast China, so you don't have to worry about paying me back the money. I'll wait until you've completely stabilized there."

"That won't work. You've already helped me a lot by lending me money. It's easy to borrow and pay back, and it's not difficult to borrow again. If I ask again next time, you can help me better than anything else."

Han Li saw that Tian Xiaoxia's eyes didn't look fake, so he took it and said.

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just ask. If I can help, I will definitely help. But now I am in a hurry to go home and prepare food and drinks for my eldest brother-in-law and the others. How about we talk next time?"

"When is the next time?"
