Hello 1983

  Chapter 756 Engage in those crooked ways, and it won't last long

   Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster.

  Twenty-eight, hair the face.

   Twenty-nine, steamed buns.

   Stay up all night at thirty.

  In the anticipation of the little ones day by day, New Year's Eve finally ushered in.

  The small mountain village of Jiapigou, like the whole land of the motherland, is immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.

  People at this time, looking forward to the New Year, is definitely beyond the comprehension and imagination of future generations.

  Perhaps it is this kind of hope that can create a real Chinese New Year atmosphere?

  The children looked forward to putting on new clothes and setting off firecrackers happily.

  The grown-ups are looking forward to being busy all year round, making more delicious food for the old and young at home.

  The old people don't look forward to it, but they are happy when they see their children and grandchildren.

  It has been ten years since the opening, and great changes have taken place in the land of China. People have left poverty farther and farther away, and see happy days beckoning to them.

  Liu Qingshan finished his morning exercise and went home with his dumb grandfather and Li Tieniu. Looking at the newborn red sun, his heart was also radiant.

  The breakfast on New Year's Eve is not too particular. The old people drink porridge and eat steamed buns as usual, and each has an egg.

  Young people have good digestion. They eat bean buns, rice cakes, dipped in sugar, which are sweet and fragrant.

  Even Xiao Yueyue mixed a bowl of chicken cakes today, and Yang Hongying took a small spoon and fed it into the little guy's mouth bit by bit.

  Drinking milk every day, eating such a delicious food out of the blue, the little guy licked his mouth while eating.

  After eating, the youngest and the fourth child took out all the Spring Festival couplets with blessing characters, and they were busy posting them inside and outside the house.

  New Year pictures are indispensable. On the wall of the kang head, as usual, there is a big fat boy holding a big carp.

  While posting, Lin Zhi kept muttering: "This big fat boy is really rare."

   Then the eldest sister, the second sister, and the elder sister looked at Liu Qingshan and smiled: Mother is reminding her son that she wants to have a grandson.

  Little friends of the same age as Liu Qingshan, like Er Biaozi, the big head, have already married and established businesses, and the big head has a son in his arms.

  Liu Qingshan blinked and could only pretend to be confused. As for Wu Tong and He Mengfei, they had already gone home for the New Year.

  Unable to stand the gazes of the people around him, Liu Qingshan simply put on his coat and gloves, and went out to sweep the yard.

  The courtyard was swept clean by Li Tieniu long ago, and Liu Qingshan set up a cauldron in the courtyard and started cooking the meat.

   Crackling, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, the firewood in the stove is burning more and more vigorously, just like this fiery life.

  Liu Qingshan squatted there lighting the fire, felt his trouser legs being touched, turned his head and saw that it was Firefox standing behind him.

  Liu Qingshan stretched out his hand and stroked its head lightly. The Firefox squinted its eyes, looking very enjoying it.

  Firefox is now in his twilight years, and he can't catch rabbits or catch mice when hunting or something, so he basically lives at Liu Qingshan's house for the elderly.

  Families also regard it as a member of the family.

  Firefox lies on the grass mat under the window to bask in the sun during the day, like an old man who is late, quietly recalling the past years.

   At night, I sleep on my stomach in the firewood fence, and coexist peacefully with the ever-expanding weasel family.

"Happy New Year."

  Liu Qingshan spit out a few words lightly.

   Just in January of this year, the wildlife protection list was officially promulgated, and the protection of wild animals will become more and more stringent.

  The country has realized that the rapid development of human society has an increasing impact on wild animals.

  In Liu Qingshan's view, it is still a little late, if it is implemented at the beginning of the re-opening, the effect will be better.

   Moreover, artificial protection is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is the deterioration of the entire ecological environment, which is the greatest harm to wild animals.

  Like many places later, because of the abuse of pesticides, especially herbicides, even wild rabbits have disappeared.

   You must know that the reproductive ability of wild rabbits is also super strong.

   However, protection is still effective. There are more and more wild chickens and wild boars, so it can be regarded as survival of the fittest.

   In this regard, Jiapigou is also at the forefront. It has started artificial domestication a few years ago, and now it has formed a large scale.

  Just like the sika deer and roe deer in the deer farm, there are also those who like to live freely in the woods and abscond secretly.

  This also makes the mountains and forests in this area more and more wild animals.

  In addition, Liu Qingshan advocated protection early on, and now this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There will never be a situation where there are only forests and no wild animals in the mountains here.

  A forest like that is a dead forest.

   There is a lot of food needed, there are only four pork knuckles, and there are pig feet and the like. Liu Qingshan is busy with his life, when he saw a group of children from the village running in.

  When they left, each of them covered their shoulder pockets with their hands, happily, and probably got some lucky money.

  Although Liu Qingshan has entrusted the old branch secretary to use a loudspeaker to announce that the lucky money is not allowed to exceed ten yuan.

  But Liu Qingshan’s family has a lot of people, so the children get more shares.

  Seeing Xiao Lao Si and the others following behind, and even Xiao Huo running around, Liu Qingshan greeted: "Slow down, everyone, don't run around."

  The fourth youngest yelled: "No way, we have to earn back the New Year's money, but the old lady won't let me, or I will hug Xiaoyueyue."

   Li Tieniu next to him grinned and laughed, probably remembering when he was young, he would pay New Year’s greetings to his grandparents in the nursing home and ask for steel coins to buy firecrackers.

  Liu Qingshan yelled: "Boys, Uncle Tieniu is here, hurry up and pay New Year's greetings."

  The children ran back immediately, and really kowtowed to Li Tieniu and Xiao Cui'er.

  Li Tieniu took out a stack of brand-new Great Unity, and took a picture one by one into the hands of the little ones, and the little ones dispersed in a rush.

   "And you Brother Qingshan." Li Tieniu still wanted to retaliate.

   As a result, the children all ran away without a trace, and Li Tieniu scratched his head: "Little brother, are you finished?"

  Xiao Cui'er explained to her husband: According to the rural rules, one is considered an adult when one gets married and starts a family.

   For someone like Liu Qingshan, as long as he doesn’t have a family, he is not qualified to be greeted by others.

  Busy until the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner started early. The whole family sat down at four tables, two on the kang, and two on the ground, before they sat down.

   First toast to the elders, say New Year's greetings, and then eat and drink casually. Liu Qingshan even took time to take a lot of photos.

   After dinner, Liu Qingshan took Li Tieniu for a stroll around the village, visiting various houses, but he ended up mixing up several lucky money.

   There is no way, grandpa branch secretary, grandpa kidnapper, they give it, do you think you can not accept it?

  Looking at it, Li Tieniu laughed and said, "Little senior brother, you are treated well, and you are already at the same level as the little brother."

   Waiting until 8 o'clock in the evening, it is natural to go home to watch the Spring Festival Gala. There is a big family, and the kang is full, making dumplings and watching TV at the same time.

   This year's Spring Festival Gala brought a lot of joy and laughter to the people of the whole country.

  The old and popular Mrs. Zhao went to the Spring Festival Gala again, performing classic jokes, the day of a hero's mother, and began to "smash the vat".

  The old men and old ladies at home laughed so hard that tears came out.

   There was another Ms. Song who appeared in the Spring Festival Gala for a long time, and she also started her famous work, Lazy Blind Date.

  No matter what, the audience in front of the TV will thank these actors for the laughter they brought to them.

   Of course, there is also Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao's classic sketch: Pepper Noodles.

  Liu Qingshan thinks that these two brothers are really good, they can make the audience laugh without words, they are at the level of Chaplin and Bean.

  There are also bright spots in the song, a dedication of love, called in front of the TV, many people shed tears.

  Dashuxia Entertainment Company also had several actors appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

  One program is a joint singing of foreign film and television songs. Sister Zhang and Huanzi are on stage with other singers.

   There was also a joint singing of national songs, and Uncle Teng played it.

   It was Lao Cui who sang solo, and he sang hand in hand.

  The influence of this song is too great, it is called on the above, so Lao Cui has the opportunity to be on the Spring Festival Gala.

  The stage of the Spring Festival Gala has never been friendly to rock singers.

  Old Cui is a stubborn person, and he never plays lip-syncing.

  This is still the present, and the connection between domestic and foreign countries is not smooth. If it is placed in the Internet age, those like Lao Cui and Zhang Dajie who have already made a name for themselves in the international music scene will be praised to the sky.

  Wait until midnight, the dumplings are put into the pot, the family is eating dumplings, and the bell of the new year is ushered in.

   In this way, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, and Liu Qingshan's vacation officially came to an end. He packed his bags and prepared to go to Beijing.

   Along with my uncle Huang Shuwen, my aunt Huang Shuying and others, as well as my second sister Liu Yinfeng and Qian Yuzhen, are also going to the other side of the ocean.

   A group of people came to the capital and stayed in the old house for two nights before boarding the plane and leaving separately.

  Liu Qingshan can finally free up time to busy himself with his own affairs.

  The first task is to prepare for the opening of Longteng Building.

  The opening time of the shopping mall is roughly set on the 20th of the first lunar month, and it will be about half a month after calculation.

  Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu took the bus to Wangfujing Commercial District, and then walked to the front of the building.

  At the entrance of the shopping mall, all the people who go in and out are busy people.

  Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry to go in, but turned into Shanhaizhai first.

  Walking to the door, Liu Qingshan deliberately looked at Zhou's jewelry next door. The front door was deserted, and through the window, there were no customers inside, and it was probably not far from the Yellow Shop.

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: It will not last long to engage in those crooked ways.

  Maybe it was because during the Spring Festival, Shanhaizhai was crowded with customers, so busy that Hai Mingzhu and the salespersons didn't notice Liu Qingshan and the others.

   "Haha, daughter-in-law, take whatever you like, you're welcome!"

  In Shan Hai Zhai, a loud and loud voice sounded, attracting people's attention.

  Everyone cast envious glances, and many women even poked the men around them with their elbows: Look at how arrogant he is, why didn't I see you yelling like this?

   Men can only pretend to be confused, there is nothing they can do, money is the courage of a hero, and without money, there is no courage.

  Xiao Cui'er blushed and waved her hands vigorously at Li Tieniu: "No, no, I have everything, a complete set."

  Li Tieniu shook his head and said, "This store is opened by Qingshan and Hai girl. You can take whatever you want, why can he ask us for money?"

   It turned out to be like this, the customers immediately lost interest, and the waists of those men finally stood up.

   "Qingshan!" Hai Mingzhu greeted, and then walked out of the counter with a smile.

   "Hi, boss." The salespersons also greeted with smiles.

  Liu Qingshan waved to them: "Chinese New Year is going well, Manager Hai, did you give you red envelopes for Chinese New Year?"

  The salespersons all nodded together, with brighter smiles on their faces. It seems that there are still a lot of red envelopes for the Chinese New Year.

   "Miss Mingzhu, didn't you go home for the New Year this year?" Liu Qingshan looked at the slim Hai Mingzhu and asked with a smile.

  Hai Mingzhu shook her head: "I really don't have time. The shop and the factory are inseparable from people."

  Liu Qingshan also felt a sense of guilt in his heart: I am a shopkeeper, and I have worked hard for other girls.

  I only heard Hai Mingzhu continue: "Then grandpa and his family all came here to celebrate the New Year."

  That's okay, Liu Qingshan feels somewhat comforted.

  So they went to the small living room separated from the back together, and the two sat down and chatted.

  Hai Mingzhu will briefly talk about the general situation in the past few months. The turnover has been relatively stable, especially during the period between the new year and the new year, which is ushering in a period of explosion.

   At the factory, work overtime, so that it is not sold out.

   "Qingshan, the gold and jade you brought back have already been put into storage. This amount of gold is enough for several years." Hai Mingzhu also seemed very excited.

   Years ago, several truckloads of Hetian jade were brought back from the frontier.

   When Xiaowu and the others came back for the New Year, they also brought back a lot of gems, and Shanhaizhai had ample raw materials.

   "Have you brought back all the gifts prepared for the frontier?"

  Liu Qingshan is also very concerned about this matter. For example, Aizmaiti, who is strong in KLMY, and the old man Alimu in Hotan, such friendships must be well maintained.

  Hai Mingzhu nodded. She entrusted Li Likun with all these matters, and she believed that she would be able to handle them well.

  Anyway, when I go back, the car is empty. I can’t run in vain. I must fill the car.

  After talking about the business, Liu Qingshan asked: "Grandpa Hai is in good health. If he is still in the capital, I will visit the old man at night."

  After asking, I found that Hai Mingzhu's face was a little unhappy. What's going on, the grandpa and grandson are having a conflict?

  Seeing Liu Qingshan's searching eyes, Hai Mingzhu bit her lip, and still said:

   "Grandpa is really getting more and more confused as he gets older. He even brought an inexplicable person from his hometown. He said that he was a child of a certain bureau chief in our county. He wanted to introduce him to me, but he just asked me to give it to him. He was kicked out!"

  Don't look at Hai Mingzhu as a lady of the family now, in fact, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she can fight several times against ordinary people.

   It is estimated that the kick in her mouth should be a beating.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing: "You can't say that about your grandfather, is he also concerned about your marriage, sister Mingzhu, you are twenty-five now, and it's time to think about personal issues."

   Speaking of age, Hai Mingzhu is three years older than Liu Qingshan.

  Although old man Hai took his granddaughter to Jiapigou for the first time, and clamored to give Liu Qingshan his daughter-in-law or something, but that was all a joke, and no one took it seriously.

  Including the current two parties, they have long been able to face it calmly.

  At the beginning, Hai Mingzhu was still very attracted to Liu Qingshan, but as her vision continued to broaden and her world of knowledge became wider and wider, she no longer had this idea.

  The relationship between the two of them is more like siblings. Hai Mingzhu's love for Liu Qingshan has been transformed into a kind of family affection.

  Of course Liu Qingshan hopes so, he already has enough to worry about now.

  Hai Mingzhu wrapped her fingers around her braid, lowered her head, her face flushed slightly.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help blinking: Is there something wrong?

  Just as he was about to ask, he heard a few quick knocks on the door, and then a salesperson opened the door:

   "Manager, there are a few foreigners outside, clamoring that our store sells fake products, hurry up and take a look!"
