Liao Cong had mixed feelings. Many tasks corresponded to the abilities he had acquired. Each task was worthy of study, especially the tasks that provided additional opportunities to obtain destiny points. They were very maneuverable, but they were too dense. The task made him already uneasy and he didn't know how to plan.

The threat of the purple lightning above his head was like a sharp knife hanging above his head, making him afraid to look directly. In order to survive, Liao Cong had to suppress his annoyance and study these tasks word by word.

Just when he was studying hard, the dumplings for the Liao family's New Year's Day were cooked. Su Tang ran in and gently pushed Liao Cong awake:"Brother, wake up, uncle said that you will have to pay New Year's greetings later."

Liao Cong. Cong got up top-heavy. The punishment of heaven was aimed at the soul, and the body was inevitably affected. His whole body was weak and cold, as if he had been sucked in by A Piao. Liao Cong's whole body showed the weakness of someone who was about to die soon. feel.

After shakily putting on New Year's clothes, Liao Cong first kowtowed to his grandparents to pay New Year's greetings under Liao Xiaojuan's coaxing. He almost couldn't stand up when he knelt down, so his grandfather, who was holding up a red envelope and was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, praised him sincerely. I kowtowed to my parents and sister-in-law again to pay New Year greetings, barely ate a bowl of dumplings, and followed my father out of the house.

It was dawn and the first day of the New Year seemed like a world away to Liao Cong.

Liao Cong and his son first went to Liao Bin's house, which was Liao Cong's grandfather's house. The two families had the closest blood relationship.

Liao Bin's family has four generations living under one roof in a two-story building. The old man lives in the small south room next to the gate.

Because of the layout of two rooms at the front and back, plus the south room, the yard space is much smaller than that of Liao Cong’s house. As soon as he entered the south room, Liao Cong’s father pushed the golden mountain to the jade pillar and knelt on the ground, saying: He said auspicious words and kowtowed firmly, Liao Cong followed suit.

The gray-haired grandpa hurriedly came over to help the two of them. The grandpa was more than ten years older than grandpa Liao Cong, and was now seventy-five. His face was wrinkled like ravines, his hair was gray, and he was thin but he was not deaf or blind. , with a rosy complexion and a smile on his face, bringing candy to Liao Cong.

Liao Bin and his family ran over when they heard the sound. When they saw it was Liao Cong and his son, they immediately put smiles on their faces. Liao Bin's mother especially laughed loudly:"Your family always wakes up so early. Er Cong also wakes up so early. Our Binzi hasn't gotten up yet!"

Liao Bin's father is very tall, three years younger than Liao Cong's father. , despite the difference in seniority, they had grown up playing together. When they saw Liao Cong and his son, they took out their cigarettes and handed them over, and warmly invited Liao Cong to go inside and have a bowl of dumplings.

It was indeed still early, so Liao Cong's father followed the house with a smile and ordered Liao Cong to kowtow to Liao Bin's grandparents.

Liao Bin ran downstairs from the second floor, laughing and wishing Liao Cong's father New Year greetings. Kowtowing was indispensable, but Liao Cong was too lazy to kneel now. The three generations went to Liao Cong's house to pay New Year greetings to Liao Cong's grandparents.

"Hey, Nannan got up so early too? This new dress is so beautiful!"Liao Bin's father raised the little guy and glanced at Liao Xiaojuan:"I said, little brother, why don't you get some more sleep? What if you are not as tall as your mother when you grow up?"

Liao Xiaojuan, who had been stabbed, gave Liao Bin's father a kick in a coquettish tone, and laughed:"I'm telling you to talk nonsense, but hurry up and give me New Year's greetings!""

Liao Bin's father chuckled, and took Liao Bin to kowtow together. He is a junior but also an elder.

Liao Cong had a candy in his mouth, and the tiredness on his face could not be concealed. His physical condition seemed to be worse than when he got up. The time was much better, and the lively scene in front of him suppressed the worries in his heart. Some things couldn't be rushed. He wanted to live, but he couldn't just live and ignore other things.

"What's wrong? Lost?"After Liao Bin finished a bowl of dumplings, he glanced at Liao Cong, with a mean smile on his face, and whispered secretly:"My aunt is beautiful, you have to take it easy!"

"roll!"Liao Cong laughed and cursed, then said:"Did you win or lose yesterday? Liao

Bin smiled brightly when he mentioned this, and showed off while eating:"Of course I won, I won more than a hundred!""

The two families chatted lively for a while. When they heard other members of the same clan and surname of the Liao family coming to the door, they all welcomed them out enthusiastically.

More than thirty men, including adults and children, walked in with smiles. The leading ones knelt firmly. , the ones at the back had not even entered the door yet, so they started knocking outside the door. There were also a few fishermen who followed at the back, pretending to kneel down, as if they felt that they were smarter than others.

The men had just When I went out, a group of aunts, aunts and daughters-in-law also arrived. The women in the village all had loud voices and loud laughter, vying to wish the old man New Year greetings.

Grandpa Liao Cong is the oldest and oldest man in the Liao family. Every day Everyone gathered at Liao Bin's house as agreed. Grandpa Liao Bin and father Liao Bin hurriedly dispersed the cigarettes. Liao Feng, Liao Qing, and Liao Hui were laughing and pulling Liao Bin to kowtow to themselves. Liao Bin was also very good at it. To make trouble, they kept looking for a few young uncles and aunts to speak pornographically, making the atmosphere lively and full of laughter.

Liao Bin's father was the oldest in Liao Cong's generation, and his previous treatment was just like that of his son Liao Cong. Like Bin, he was pressed and kowtowed by a group of uncles who were about the same age as him. Now that the younger generations have grown up, he led the younger brothers to kowtow to their elders. Although they were all kowtowing, they felt different in their hearts. He sighed. :"Our team is getting bigger and bigger!"

Whether a clan is prosperous still depends on the number of people. The Liao surname can't compare with the top surnames in the village in terms of number of people, but it doesn't seem weak anymore. The older generations have supported each other until today. They have endured a lot, and in the end I like to see groups of children and grandchildren. The lively scene of New Year greetings on the first day of the new year makes Grandpa Liao Cong and other elders have mixed emotions and smile from ear to ear. The fathers and younger generations walk around the streets to pay New Year greetings. Most people with the surname Liao They lived together, and those who came to pay New Year greetings were all from Liao Cong's grandparents generation, there were only seven or eight families, and a few belonged to aunts and uncles who married in the village. A group of people would liven up every time they came to a house. The younger generation kowtowed sincerely, said auspicious New Year greetings, and the elders scattered cigarettes and candies happily.

Liao Cong followed Liao Bin's father closely, and they were closer to each other and had the same generation. As they walked around, they would not leave behind the people they should go to, but this My legs were as heavy as lead.

I met several groups of New Year greeting teams with other surnames on the street. They were all wearing new clothes, beaming with joy, and playing with each other. There were also younger children pinching their roots. There were lit incense and unpacked firecrackers in the pockets, and one was set off from time to time, which was very New Year's atmosphere.

After the New Year greetings, Liao Cong's face turned pale, and as soon as he returned home, Liao Huan pulled him to rest on the kang in the house..

Liao Huan put his hand on his brother's forehead to test the temperature and breathed a sigh of relief:"I don't have a fever, but I'd better drink some cold medicine. He should be cold.""

At this time, he didn't care whether it was a taboo to take medicine on the first day of the new year. Liao Cong drank the medicine obediently, pulled his coat over his body and lay down. Su Tang looked at him worriedly and pulled Brother Haonan to stop him. Disturbing Liao Cong's rest.

Liao Cong felt that not long after he fell asleep, there was a burst of lively shouting outside his house. It was his grandma's nephew who came to pay New Year's greetings. The old lady's maiden name was Wu and she was also from the same village.

Liao Congqiang stood up with energy. , through the window, I saw a large group of people pouring into the yard, with smiles on their faces calling aunt and uncle to kowtow to Liao Cong’s grandparents. This New Year’s greeting team with the Wu family name is much larger than the people with the Liao family name. The courtyard of Liao Cong’s family is full of people. There was almost no room for everyone, and Wu was one of the most popular surnames in the village. Liao Cong's father , with his face glowing red and smoking cigarettes, chatted with his brothers from his uncle's family. Liao Cong really didn't want to move, so he stayed on the kang and didn't go out.

As soon as the group of New Year greeters left, Zhang Dai jumped into the house:"Er Cong, I'm waiting for you!"

"Brother Dai."Liao Congqiang stood up.

The excitement on Zhang Dai's face froze:"What's going on? Looking so ugly?"

"Got cold."Liao Cong smiled bitterly,"Why are you waiting for me?"

"Go and say New Year greetings, Da Fei, Hu Zi and Shi Qiang are all waiting at Er Mao’s house."

"ah?"New Year's greetings again? Liao Cong has a headache.

Liao Huan pushed Liao Cong:"You classmates go around in a circle every year on the first day of the new year. Come along and have a good rest when you come back."

Su Tang gave him a few candies to eat on the way, with a worried look on his face.

Liao Cong had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow the lively Zhang Dai out. He could not stop watching Zhang Dai walking, kicking stones at one moment, and then another. Liao Cong was extremely envious as he kicked the burned-out fireworks tube.

The Xihe Village homestead was planned to be square and vertical. Jiang Honghong's house and Ermao's house were opposite each other. The two families were located in the middle of the main road of the whole village. Naturally, they were It became the starting point for everyone to gather together. The girl was chatting with a group of male classmates who had been waiting for a while at the door of her house. Her eyes lit up when she saw Liao Cong. His new clothes were brand-name hand-picked by Wei Pingting, and he was small. He is handsome, but he looks more elegant than most of his peers in the village. Liao Cong has been praised by many uncles and uncles during the New Year greetings just now.

Huang Mao Dafei and others looked at Liao Cong sideways, and this guy had a slow look on his face. Reluctantly, thinking about his unsociable appearance yesterday without drinking or smoking, I snorted secretly. Are you really looking down on people now that you are in school? You have to ask someone to call him. I should have known he wouldn't wait for him!

The next few people all agreed. Flooded into Ermao's house.

After being called by his uncle and aunt, Ermao's parents came out with smiles. I don't know how many times they came out.

"Walk!"The oldest boy in this class saw everyone and greeted everyone with a smile. Liao Cong noticed from behind that more than half of the twenty or so boys were holding cigarettes in their mouths. Only Liao Cong and a few of them were still there. Students who go to school do not smoke.

Liao Cong was dizzy and weak. He could not cheer up for anything. He followed the team lazily, almost losing track of the pace. This ghostly look made Shicheng kneel in front. , the loyal Dafei and the others sneered even more, and didn't even bother to say anything to him. There were more than twenty male classmates who lived in the same family, and their classmates were not from the same clan. They lived all over the village, and there were even a few in the village. Those who raise sheep and chickens outside need to take a long detour. Liao Cong was miserable and his face became paler. Zhang Dai saw something was wrong with him and reached out to support him:"Oh, if I had known you were so sick, I would have I won’t pull you out"

"What's going on? Is this?"Xiang Fang saw that Liao Cong was staggering when he walked, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him,"Damn it, your face is so pale! Zhang

Dai blamed himself:"I pulled him off his bed when he was sick. I didn't expect him to be so seriously ill.""

Liao Cong's expression couldn't deceive anyone. He said to several people,"No wonder he looks so lackluster."

The eyes of Dafei and the others have changed a lot. They walked around even though they were sick. They couldn't say they were not sincere, right?"Send him home first? Zhang

Dai supported Liao Cong and said,"The remaining two families are on the way. It won't be too late.""

"Fine."

Liao Cong's family is the closest to Ermao's family and happens to be the last family. A group of little brothers helped him and put him directly on the bed in the south room. This frightened Liao Cong's family and made Su Tang shed tears.

"Uncle, look what's going on……"Wu Jinhu scratched his head naively. His father and Liao Cong's father always worked odd jobs with Liao Hui's father. The two families were more familiar with each other than others. At this moment, he said to Liao Cong's father with an apologetic smile:"We didn't expect... Er Cong, have a good rest!"

"Okay, wait until he gets better and then he can play with you!"

Zhang Dai and others went to Er Mao's house with sighs. During the Chinese New Year, Liao Cong's matter did not always concern them. Without an unsociable friend, they still had to play how they should.

Lying on the bed, Liao Cong suddenly felt much better and fell asleep after a while.

Liao Xin and several others came to play at home, but Liao Huan took them to their own room. Su Tang was worried and ran over to check on Liao Cong after a while. Liao Cong's face was getting better and better, and he breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

After sleeping soundly, Liao Cong opened his eyes and saw his family standing beside him, and there was an infusion needle stuck in the back of his hand.

"Brother, are you awake? Su Tang came over in surprise:"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?""

Liao Cong's mother touched Liao Cong's hand and felt that her son's hand was cold. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover it:"It's not a bad fever, why does it look so bad?"

"It's okay, Mom, much better."Liao Cong smiled. He was indeed much better. He felt more energetic and the dizziness had disappeared. He even seemed to be fine. It was as if what he had experienced before was just a dream, but everyone's expressions reminded him that it was not.

"This bottle is almost gone, I'm going to cook first."Liao Cong's father threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stomped on it:"Sleep in the same room as your grandparents tonight, your room is cold."

Liao Cong quickly declined:"No, I'll be fine when I wake up this morning!"

Liao Xiaojuan pinched her nephew:"You are so old that you still know how to be ashamed?""

"hey-hey……"

"what ever."Liao Cong's father saw that Liao Cong was indeed getting better, so he didn't insist. There was a smile on his face, and he went to the kitchen to get busy. Liao Cong's father was the chef when entertaining relatives during the New Year and festivals. Liao Xiaojuan and her nephew were also considered relatives, so The kindest one.

Liao Cong’s mother learned some medical skills of injecting and taking medicine from Grandpa Liao Cong when she was a child. She took out the injection for her son before going to the kitchen to help prepare lunch. The two of them in the chicken room had just finished their work.

Liao Cong Cong's eyes were staring at the roof, and the deepest part of his pupils was full of fear. If the consequences of heaven's punishment were so serious every day, then he would be crippled if not crazy! Could it be that he really had to rely on spiritual water?
