Chapter 470
The New Year is a very hard thing.
After eating the chopping board meat, everyone sat together to drink tea, melon seeds, peanuts, chat and play.
When it was almost midnight, my grandfather took out a stack of big union and gave New Year's money to each of his grandchildren one.
Although everyone is not short of money now, this is not a matter of how much money it costs, but a cultural heritage.
Long Jianhua was the first to take the great unity from his grandfather happily.
Then, Long Jianhua took a handbag from the bedroom, took out paper bags and handed them out, one for each person, "I'll give you some pocket money for everyone."
"In the first half of the year, I may not have time to come back. If I lack anything, I can buy it at the Friendship Store. If it is not in a hurry, tell me and I will arrange for someone to bring it here or send it."
Yue He patted the paper bag and laughed, "Brother, the pocket money I gave during the summer vacation has not been spent yet."
My aunt stretched out her hand, "Then let me help you with it."
Yuehe immediately grabbed the paper bag and retracted, "No. You have used it to do good things."
Then he said solemnly, "Mom, the RMB is depreciating. You are doing good things but losing money."
Long Jianhua was surprised, "Yuehe, how did you know?"
She raised her head proudly, "I have foreign exchange, so I have to pay attention to it occasionally. During the summer vacation, I could only exchange one dollar for one dollar, but now I can exchange one dollar for one dollar. My salary has not increased, but the dollar is increasing."
A little guy with financial consciousness.
My aunt explained a little embarrassedly, "The children of a colleague got married and wanted to buy some foreign goods, but they didn't have foreign exchange coupons, so I went to me to exchange for some foreign currency. It was not exchanged according to the foreign exchange price."
Suddenly, Long Jianhua flashed his mind, "Actually, if you don't spend it, you can buy some jade, calligraphy, paintings, or antiques there to put it away, which is much better than exists there."
At this time, having these to buy in such stores is a way for the country to earn foreign exchange through this channel. Moreover, the price is also very low and there are no fakes, which is a good way to invest.
Yuehe suddenly jumped up, "Brother, you want us to buy monkey tickets, but my family bought 4,386 pieces. If it weren't for Hao Nan's cousin who took 960 pieces, we would have more than 5,000 pieces."
I remember so clearly that I even said the last number.
The aunt smiled and said, "She didn't give it at that time, saying that she bought it herself with money, but her grandmother said that it wouldn't be enough to give her an extra hundred yuan. She said that it was her brother who asked her to buy it, and it would be antiques in the future and it would be very valuable."
He asked with a smile, "Yuehe, if each stamp is raised to 100 yuan in the future, will you not regret it?"
She shook her head, "Since she has sold it to him, of course she can't regret it."
"What if it rises to 10,000 yuan per piece?"
She looked at him blankly for a while, then sighed, "There is nothing I can do, I have already given it to him; the stamps sold and the water splashed out. Who made us relatives? For the sake of two hundred yuan, we lost 10 million."
"However, I decided not to do such good things in the future, even if he is my cousin."
Everyone laughed when they saw her little adult tone.
Long Jianhua secretly praised in his heart.
No wonder she was able to make a quick decision when she encountered a job that didn't satisfy her. Later, she started a clothing company. This was by nature.
My mother asked with a smile, "What if I want to buy some from you?"
She shook her head into a rattle, "I can give you a version, but I won't sell it to you."
My mother laughed, "If one piece can be sold for 100 yuan, the one piece will cost 8,000 yuan."
Yue He took two steps behind her back, "Not counting zero, I still have forty-two versions, more than 300,000; those eight thousand are my filial piety to you."
This account is calculated accurately.
This is clear.
Nothing wrong!
Long Jianhua became more and more optimistic about her.
At one o'clock in the morning, Yunyan, Yuehua and Yuehe went to bed under the drive of their grandmother, and firmly refused their request to stay up late.
At Long Jianhua's request, grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts also went to bed.
He began to prepare breakfast.
According to his family tradition, breakfast on the first day of the New Year must be eaten before dawn, and you must eat roasted glutinous rice cakes and chicken feet.
Eating golden roasted glutinous rice cakes means gold ingots, making money all year round; eating chicken feet means digging money all year round, and making a lot of money all year round.
Why should I finish eating before dawn? I remember when I was a child, he asked why, but the answers were different.
The information I got from my grandfather was that I could get up early all year round without being lazy. Some people said that it was to prevent beggars from coming to beg for the house, destroying the family's reunion dinner, and causing a bad mood throughout the year.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, no matter how delicious the food is, you cannot finish it all. You must leave a little in the bowl, which is called surplus and leftover, which means you won’t have to worry about eating and drinking all year round.
There are some taboos.
If you cannot be hygienic on the first day of the New Year, it is said that it will wipe out the wealth of your family; if you cannot eat dog meat, it is said that it is that dog meat will not be on the table, which has the meaning of "beating dogs and ending the game".
In addition, you should not talk nonsense, say "good words". If something is broken, you should say peace every year; if you are full, when others advise you to eat, you should not say "no more" but say "full", "eat a lot" and so on...
In his previous life, after his parents passed away, he no longer insisted on these inheritances.
In his opinion, these habits have great psychological hints; if you don’t believe in these things and treat this day as an ordinary day, there will be no so many things.
But now grandparents are here, and they have this persistence, and he must persist.
He just stayed up all night, and he could afford it.
Not only his grandparents are persevering, but many elderly people are persevering, and many people will continue to persevere...
After he had a calculation, he planned how to make eight dishes and one soup.
Chicken, fish, and pork are a must-have, and pork can also be made into meatballs, braised pork, and so on...
Nine dishes are also necessary, because they used to be square tables, and they were arranged in a very regular manner, with three bowls on the horizontal and vertical sides.
At three o'clock, grandparents came to the kitchen and saw Long Jianhua sitting on a small stool. They patted his shoulder with some heartache.
I drank so much wine yesterday and haven't been asleep yet. In order to let them sleep for a while, I have been persisting until now.
Since I had reiterated the significance of the reunion dinner with everyone yesterday, Yuehua and Yuehe woke up immediately and didn't fall in love with the bed at all.
Seeing the table full of dishes, the two of them looked at Long Jianhua with incredible eyes, and at the same time, they stretched out their thumbs out, "Brother, you are amazing!"
He laughed, "Everyone is amazing!"
Yunyan smiled pursed his lips, "Brother, are these good things too?"
He smiled, "I have to ask my grandma."
Grandma nodded with a smile, "This is a good thing, everyone is saying good things."
