Chapter 94
I got up early in the morning and put on the long red sweater coat that my mother had put by the bed, black cotton shoes, and a white navy hat. "Qin Rong, get up."

"Sister, you're so pretty." Qin Rong rubbed her eyes sleepily and said.

"Even if you say that, I won't give you half of the red envelope." I straightened my clothes, and after hearing what she said, I stretched out my hand to pinch her flushed, warm and tender cheeks and said jokingly.

"I'll give you half of the red envelope." Qin Rong waved his hand indifferently. Under my clutches, he could still speak clearly, which really convinced her!

"Change clothes." I put on the same style of sweater coat for her, it's not fun to tease her!Chen Jingyong is still more fun, especially pinching his cheek to make him speak inarticulately is the most fun.

After putting on his clothes, he and Qin Rong walked out of the room holding hands.

The tip of the nose smells the smell of sulfur in the air, the shredded paper of firecrackers is stepped on the feet, and there is fruit tea in the middle of the living room, all of which are filled with god-worshiping utensils, three teas and five fruits are placed.That is, three cups of tea, five kinds of dried fruits, usually biscuits, candies, olives, winter melon candies, and candied potatoes, which are dedicated to the God of Wealth, the Kitchen God, and the God of Heaven until the sixth day of the new year.The adults in the family have all gone to the temple to burn incense sticks, and only the new year's greetings from the Cantonese Opera House are playing in the disc player.

"Xiaoxiao, Rongrong, hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth. When grandma and the others come back, you can't use the water in the tank." The little aunt was squatting next to the patio with the little uncle brushing their teeth, and when they saw the two of us getting up, they called us over.

On the first day of the new year, you can’t fill the tank with water, which means that the pot is full, that is, the money entrusted for the coming year is too much to hold, and it will overflow.In the vernacular, water is wealth.Therefore, in the customs of Chinese New Year, it is customary to have a good fortune.There is also the fact that you can’t comb your hair because it means getting rich. Combing your hair will always lead to hair loss, and hair loss means hair loss and loss of wealth.As for not being able to sweep the floor, it is also because of the custom that the God of Wealth will go down to the world to inspect the world on the first day of the new year according to the order of the Jade Emperor. .

"Little aunt, little uncle, Happy New Year." We greeted in unison energetically, and each took our own cup toothbrush and squatted next to the little aunt to brush our teeth.All of a sudden, only the sound of teeth brushing was heard.

With my toothbrush in my mouth, I suddenly felt excited, feeling that the new year has really come.

In my previous life, I was very afraid of Chinese New Year, because the atmosphere of Chinese New Year was too depressing.

My father went to sleep on the first day of the new year when the custom stipulated that he was not allowed to sleep. My mother went to the neighbor's house to talk and chat. My younger brother found a classmate to play. I was the only one in the whole family watching DVDs.My heart echoed what my father said, it costs 2 to [-] yuan a year, and it's not worth going back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year.

I understand the pressure on my father. Although our three brothers and sisters all came to him to help, he still feels a lot of pressure, because I should get married, and my younger brother should also marry a wife; Worrying about money, after all, even building a house in the countryside after 90 would cost RMB 2008 to 60; and the money he always wanted to buy a car and deliver goods by himself, these are all things he desperately wants to accomplish.

But the business is getting worse and worse, and the economic benefits are getting worse and worse. In addition, his physical strength is not as good as before, and his proud eyesight is also failing. He has to wear reading glasses to read newspapers.In short, our family is not just poor and lowly couples who are sad about everything.

I know that my father was also very high-spirited. He contracted the fruit field and prepared to show his talents, but he never knew that it was the biggest blow in his life. He owed the country hundreds of thousands of dollars. A huge sum of money.It was enough for him to live a life of embarrassment for several years at a low ebb.

Perhaps, if he hadn't succeeded at the beginning, those few years were just a return to the original hard days for him.But it is easy to go from poverty to extravagance, but it is very difficult to go from luxury to hard life.His pride and self-esteem were trampled to the extreme after contracting the fruit farm, and even his parents began to dislike and blame him, which he couldn't bear no matter what.In his heart, everything he did was for his family, but when all this was questioned and blamed, the pillar in his heart also collapsed.

Although he didn't rest for a few years, his dignity and pride were smoothed by the reality of life, and he became compromised, compromising for life, so he was haggling and realistic.However, everything for him is still for his family.It's just that he makes us feel pressured when we spend an extra dollar like this, and his attitude towards life makes us feel depressed.
