After seeing off a group of young ancestors, Xue Xiang all breathed a sigh of relief. The troubles took more than an hour. At this moment, the sun was rising and the light was shining. The ice edges and snow on the house had already dripped and tears fell.

Everyone took advantage of the time to create a basin of charcoal fire and began to surround the brazier, drink tea and chat. They were joking about the miserable situation of Liu Yuanchao, Li Hongjun, and Sun Qianjin in the military camp. Another visitor came to the door. It turned out that Zhang Fatty, Yin Jinghua, and Chen Fosheng put his arms in. The three of them were all wearing black round necklines. I don’t know if it was agreed in advance and uniformly dressed, so that the three of them would feel good about the three brothers. The three of them were not empty-handed, and they carried a lot of bags and bags. After entering the yard, they said to wish the New Year together.

Xue Xiang smiled and welcomed the three of them into the door, greeting Lei Xiaotian and the other two for tea. Just as everyone was about to sit down, three of them stepped into the door with a smile.

"Xiao Xue, happy new year. Qianjin is not at home. I, my uncle, will wish you a New Year for you." The first person was Director Ma Liangma of Hualian Wood Factory. He said that he was paying New Year's greetings to Sun Qianjin, but just to cover up his skin. The old boy tossed and turned on the bed at around three o'clock in the morning, so he came to greet Xue Xiang early. During this period, he had already found out about Xue Xiang's current dispatch - the staff officer of the Office of the Office, which was so poking the gods that he almost sniffed his backbone. After scaring, he was ecstatic. He was so happy that he had formed a little bit of incense with Xiao Xue. If he cultivated it well, he might not be able to walk out of a road to heaven in the future. Ma Liang knew Xue Xiang's background, but he was worried that he had no chance to be close to Xue Xiang, so he could not be generous.

He ran to other people's houses every day with shame, and it seemed so artificial that it was not boring. He could not say anything, and it hurt his relationship. Finally, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Liang found this legitimate opportunity to visit. As soon as the dawn of the day, Director Ma got up. After cleaning up, he was about to go out. Unexpectedly, he didn't know that if he had gone early, there were even early travelers. The factory cadres who came to patronize him, the factory manager, came first. Director Ma was impatient, but had to say that everyone would welcome him in. Who knew that after sending this group, he came and went to that group. After an hour, Director Ma still couldn't get out of the house. Seeing that the sun had risen, Director Ma didn't care about the faces of his subordinates anymore, he threw down his words, put forward two carefully prepared cigarettes, and rushed to Xue Xiang's house.

As Ma Liang finished speaking, the other two spoke.

"Staff Officer Xue, I, Lao Qiu, are here to wish you a happy new year. I'm late. Don't blame me, don't blame me. I will punish myself for three cups at noon."

"Comrade Xue, Happy New Year. My old horse arrived without invitation. It was abrupt. Where is my cute little niece? Let's see what Uncle Ma has sent her to her again."

The previous one was Qiu Zhiguo, the leader of the 12th Regiment of the Imperial Guard Division. Qiu Zhiguo smiled and held a purple canvas bag on his left and right hands, which contained precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Cordyceps, etc. that he had brought him all over his relationship. Qiu Zhiguo tried his best to visit him this time. With his guess, he had no shortage of food, drink, clothing and use. Nothing he gave himself could achieve a shiny effect. After thinking about it, he put his mind on the mountain medicinal materials from the supply and marketing cooperative. Why did Qiu Zhiguo so care about it? It turned out that what happened more than four months ago that night, but now I think about it, I let him take a seat at the Mazard. The entire Imperial Guard Division is under the tuan.

The officers who were close to Liu Gao were beaten up in one fell swoop. The three regiments under the Imperial Guard Division were only safe and sound. The leader of the other two regiments was taken away that night. If Qiu Zhiguo still couldn't figure out who he was entrusted with, then he was called to start a business by playing horses. Therefore, Qiu Datuanzu had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank the Staff Xue Da, who was very powerful and loyal. Qiu Tuanzu now put a very low profile in front of Xue Xiang. With his age as teenagers as shameless as Ma Liang, even those who were as shameless as Ma Liang had to pretend to be a junior to say it, he would be careless and told to come out.

The latter one is naturally Director Ma Yongsheng, Ma of the May Fourth Canteen Management Committee. Since the little guy called him Uncle Ma once, Ma Yongsheng tried his best to confirm the uncle's name in the shortest time. Every now and then, he sent some food and toys to his door. He heard that the little guy likes to eat hairy crabs. Before the New Year, he used his connections to bring back four or five kilograms from Yangcheng Lake to Xue Xiang's family. Ma Yongsheng has now completely grasped Minister Xu's pulse.

As long as Minister Xu goes to the May 4th Canteen, he will mention the little guy's recent situation intentionally or unintentionally, which will always attract Minister Xu's attention and question, and make him familiar with Minister Xu a lot recently. Once, Minister Xu actually asked him what the little guy likes to eat and the skills of coaxing dolls, which made Ma Yongsheng almost lose his soul. Until now, he still can't see Minister Xu's doting for the little guy, so he will ruin the nickname "lingxi horse" given by others.

As soon as the three of them walked to the edge of the flower pond, Xue Xiang greeted them. After a greeting, he let them into the house. After everyone sat back, Xue Xiang introduced Ma Yongsheng and Qiu Zhiguo and everyone. Ma Liang, Zhang Fatty, Yin Jinghua and others attended the dinner together. They knew each other and met each other now. They had a greeting. This was the first time Ma Yongsheng and Qiu Zhiguo and everyone met. When Xue Xiang introduced, they had to briefly explain their respective backgrounds, which made the two of them feel terrified.

Everyone sat around the brazier, and the stubborn leader sat with the officials, and the young man and middle-aged man chatted with each other. Without a few greetings, the scene became cold. Xue Xiang, as the master and the bond connecting everyone, naturally had to take the responsibility of revitalizing the atmosphere. He turned into the room and brought out a few pairs of pokers. Now, everyone found a common hobby. He surrounded the Eight Immortals Table and started playing Gongzhu (gongzhu, a popular way to play at that time, pig, alluding to the z-sect).

Speaking of this, younger readers must ask: Is there poker at that time? Can I play it? The answer is yes, and I can play it. This is the case. When the catastrophe first started, there were three flower cards in the playing cards, J, Q, K and Joker, the big and small kings, as representatives of Western decadent ideas, and were chased and beaten by the young players. The playing cards were banned. After the ban on playing cards, these young players who were so idle suddenly found that it was difficult for them to play cards. There was little fun at that time, so I was alone.

The ban on poker is equivalent to self-destruction and being very uncomfortable. Poker cards are banned, and not only young players are suffering, but also many senior executives like to play cards. What should I do? It is easy to deal with! The wisdom of the people is always endless, so some people have the idea to change the J, Q, and K of playing cards to numbers 11, 12, 13, and the big and small kings directly write Chinese characters, and the printing on the playing cards is also changed to GM slogans and leader inscriptions. In this way, the playing cards that have been banned for several years were re-instated in the early 1970s.

Fatty Zhang, Chen Fosheng, Yin Jinghua, Ma Liang, Ma Yongsheng, Qiu Zhiguo played poker around the Eight Immortals Table. Kang Tong, Zhu Shijun, and Lei Xiaotian were pulled into the kitchen to prepare lunch by Xue Xiang. Qiu Zhiguo had previously called for three glasses of wine. These guys didn't go out to run on the first day of the New Year, but they were left at Xue Xiang's house to play cards. The meaning of having lunch was self-evident.

Fortunately, the meat dishes were cooked before the New Year. At noon, you only need to heat them and add a few small stir-fry to make a table, which is convenient. Xue Xiang was assassinating a red carp by the washing sink, and Sanxiao stepped into the house happily.

The little guy took the lead, holding his little head with a skewed head, and the smile on his face could not be covered, and it seemed that he had gained a lot; Xiao Yi straddled a bulging shoulder bag on each shoulder, and his face was free of joy and worry, and followed closely behind. It seemed that the little guy caught a strong man and took him to work as a coolie; Xiaowan walked happily at the end with her backpack on her backpack, and this New Year greeting also made her taste a lot of sweetness.

As soon as the little guy took a few steps, he found Xue Xiang who was killing fish. He immediately accelerated, raised his head and rushed to the edge of the washing sink, like a magic trick, one pocket on the left and one on the right, and took out many red envelopes. Then he introduced that this was given by Uncle Li and Aunt Wang, and it was rare that the little guy actually wrote down where the ten red envelopes came from. He remembered it clearly. After hearing the little guy's surname, Xue Xiang understood who was given the red envelopes, mostly the family members of Xue Anyuan's old subordinates in the A Army.

Xue Xiang was funny. After getting a lot of red envelopes, is it necessary to pride the little head up to the sky? He was about to ask, but the little guy spoke again: "Third brother, come and keep the snacks in my hat, and it hurts my neck." It turned out that the little guy was wearing a pink hooded tweed coat today. After her little book was packed with snacks, he thought about it and used the drop hat behind his head to serve a bag. Just like that, the little Red Riding Hood was filled, and her little head was also carried to the sky.

Xiaoyi immediately shivered when she heard the little guy's voice "third brother" who had been dragging his voice. On the 28th day, the little devil carried out a nuclear strike on Xiaoyi - cut off the source of the story, pestered him to eat four pig tails in one afternoon, and Xiaoyi was so nauseous that he saw the meat today. When Xiaoyi heard this, he hurried forward, tied two bags behind his back, lifted up his military coat, put them in a bag, and waited for the little guy to bend over, and took the little red-hot snacks over.

The third little girl entered the main hall and said "Happy New Year" to everyone, everyone playing cards immediately stopped fighting. Ma Yongsheng first greeted her, smiled as a chrysanthemum, bent down and said, "Okay, okay, uncle, send you red envelopes." After that, Ma Yongsheng reached into his coat and took out three red seals the size of a palm, and the sealing was made with golden thread. Ma Yongsheng sent the red envelope to the third little girl according to his age. When the little guy was sent, he even patted the little guy's shoulder with his hand. His love was beyond words.

Ma Yongsheng's actions were like a trumpet of battle sounding. Everyone took out red envelopes from their pockets and sent them to the third little boy. None of these guys had a bad eye, and even Chen Fosheng and Yin Jinghua prepared red envelopes in advance. Everyone stayed at Xue Xiang's house and refused to leave. Why did they come? Wasn't they just waiting to distribute red envelopes to the third little boy and make personal favors? Is it just to have a full meal?

The third little boy didn't expect that he had arrived home, but there was a rain of red envelopes again. The three of them were so happy that they smiled. They really wished that every day was the first day of the New Year.

……………………………….

Xue Xiang rode a motorcycle on the road on Changning Street, and what attracted him the most were the Spring Festival couplets of every household. At this moment, the most common Spring Festival couplets he saw were sentences picked from the leader's poems, such as: the spring breeze, thousands of willows, and 600 million of China's Shun and Yao; the Chinese people have many ambitions, and they don't like red makeup and armed; the remains of the lyrics in the villages, and the sings of the ghosts in thousands of households. In addition to the leader's poems, the most frequently seen is the same pair of "New Year greets Yuqing, and the festival is Changchun". This sentence is the first Spring Festival couplet in the land of China, written by Meng Chang, the Lord of Shu. Everyone hangs this couplet, which expresses the beautiful intention of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new and changing everything.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Xue Xiang was entrusted by his uncle to greet an old man. At this moment, Xue Xiang was riding on a bicycle, breeze blowing all the way, and the streets were covered with jade, but he had no intention of appreciating it. The noisy these days really exhausted him. He never expected that the New Year would be more exhausting than a battle with hundreds of people.

On the afternoon of the first day of the first day, Xue Xiang ran away from relatives and friends in the courtyard. When it was dark, he remembered Mr. An. He forgot about it and ran to Songzhuzhai in a panic. When he arrived at Songzhuzhai, Mr. An’s house was having a big banquet for guests, and his second son, seven daughters and seven sons-in-law were all at home. The old man was particularly dissatisfied with Xue Xiang’s belated New Year greetings, and he was thankful for the New Year, so he did not shout. Xue Xiang is always the grandson in front of the old man.

The monkey's temperament, after a few words, the old man actually started arguing with him. He was amused by the quarrels. Who knew that the old man was very cold and did not lie to anyone, how could he be as good as the brothers as his brothers? Among the sons-in-law of Mr. An, the only ones, Zuo Qiuming and Chen Dao, knew what kind of person Xue Xiang was and how much he had in the old man's heart. At this moment, he was all together.

Let's get up and take Xue Xiang to sit down. At a dinner party, the moon was in the middle of the sky. After the meal, the old man took out a red envelope and stuffed it to Xue Xiang. Xue Xiang made a move and refused to accept it. The old man was about to shout, but Xue Xiang said, "You are too picky, you are so thin, even if it's all great unity, it's not worth it." He choked the old man so much that he rolled his eyes. Unexpectedly, when Xue Xiang finished speaking, the An brothers actually took out a red envelope and gave it to him. Soon, Chen Dao and Zuo Qiu Mingjia

After entering the ranks of cloth and red envelopes, the brother-in-law of Chen, no matter how dull he was, he saw some tricks at this moment. He hurriedly called his wife under the table to thicken the red envelopes he had previously been sent to other nephews, and first focused on the old man in front of him. Xue Xiang left Songzhuzhai and counted the income under the street lights. As soon as he counted it, he was shocked. More than ten red envelopes were a small amount of 3,000 yuan, which was almost as much as his annual salary as a special hero.

On the second day of the lunar month, all the stubborn masters gathered in the Xue family's old house, drinking Dadan and playing cards all night. On the third day of the lunar month, Xue Xiang finally caught a free time to greet his future mother-in-law. He brought a bunch of big bags, most of which were bribed by the ghost spirit Liu Fufeng. This kid was so thief. Several times before the New Year, Xue Xiang took the opportunity to help the old Liu family to work and get close to Fairy Liu, but was knocked out by this kid. Later, the kid actually offered a bid to Xue Xiang exchange chocolate for the time of his sister's private meeting. Look, nearly half of the big boxes were sent to the Liu spy.

Acry. On the fourth day of the lunar month, it was the visit time of Beijiao Farm, so Xue Xiang took the third young master to wish Xue Anyuan a New Year. This time, the farm was much empty, with only more than ten old cadres left, and Xue Anyuan's spirit became stronger and stronger. During this period, the uncle and nephew talked about the giant bomb dropped by the propaganda field half a month ago. The form of the giant bomb dropped suddenly showed signs of turning around. Before leaving, before Xue Xiang comforted Xue Anyuan, he was calm and restless, Xue Anyuan actually told Xue Xiang to take the turtle box that had been flattened at the bottom of his box to go to Meiyuan to wish the old leader New Year.

………………………….

The plum garden is located in the northwest corner of Yangliu Street by Shicha Sea. It is the location of the old leader after he stepped down from the wild. The plum garden is not named after the vegetation in the courtyard like Songzhuzhai, but the first-generation owner of the plum garden is named Mei. For some reason, after liberation, the plum garden has been revolved several times and has never been renamed. Since the 1960s, the plum garden was distributed to the old leader by the Laoka Bureau, it has been lived by the old leader until now.

When Xue Xiang arrived at Meiyuan, it was only eight o'clock in the morning. Yesterday, he learned from his uncle that the person who was coming to pay New Year's greetings was the old leader, and he was completely panicked. To say that Xue Xiang has been reborn, great figures such as Chen Kaizhen, Xu Zigan, and Old General An, and big scenes such as Night Twelve Regiments, Lao Mo bullies Jiang Yanei, and enters the auditorium. They have also experienced many experiences. But when he really wanted to meet this old man, no matter how angry and suppressed him, he still caused a huge storm.

Yesterday afternoon, he was busy thinking about the New Year gifts to the old leader. After thinking about it, he almost scratched his scalp, but still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he almost wanted to send the ginseng and Cordyceps that Qiu Zhiguo sent to the old leader, but then he thought that he was just a son of a broken family. Isn't this kind of gift aroused? Xue Xiang was scrambling his mind while running around the yard, slapped the railings, and then found a trace of inspiration from the vast sea of ​​memories. The old leader is from Shu. In the reports in his memory, the old leader especially likes to eat Sichuan cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine is the most important three peppers.

——Dried sea pepper, soaked sea pepper, and pepper. Wouldn’t I give these three things to the fullest? Thinking of this, Xue Xiang couldn’t help but shout for his cleverness. There are no three peppers elsewhere, but there is one place that is certain. This place is the home of President Chen Da. Chen Kaizhen is also from Shu, and it is especially delicious and spicy. There was a poem praising sea pepper. The poem says: Every household of sea pepper is red in string, and it is colorful to watch department stores. Xue Xiang resells antiques at Chen Kaizhen’s house for the first time. When he was left with rice, he saw a plate of soaked sea pepper in the Chen family. He wanted to find three peppers, but if he didn’t go to President Chen Da’s house, where would he go?

Sure enough, after Xue Xiang came to Chen's family to say his New Year greetings, he explained his purpose. Chen Fosheng was so excited that he could not find any more. After hearing this little thing, he rushed to the kitchen and moved out three jars and gave them to Xue Xiang. Among these three jars, the three jars were Chen Kaizhen's favorite Sanjiao. Xue Xiang was overjoyed, afraid that the old man would regret it, so he picked up the jar and said goodbye, and turned around and left, not giving Chen Fosheng the opportunity to say "no" to the old man.

Ps: Two-in-one chapter, celebrates the birth of the first deacon in this book, thanks for the gynecology reward. I believe everyone knows the source of the chapter name, from "The world comes in time and the world works together, and the heroes are not free." I would like to say something here, because I am afraid that some readers will mistakenly think that Jiangnan’s writing is wrong. It makes sense to use “The heroes are not free” here, because in the content of these chapters, Xue Xiang cannot know that this turning point will add a strong mark to his career, and he has passed the task.

In addition, this is the last section of the first volume. At the end of this section, Xue Xiang trapped the dragon and went out to sea. Finally, he complained about his grievances and the days without saving the manuscript were difficult. I hope you can give me tickets and collect them. Jiangnan will stay up late to produce tomorrow's food.
Chapter completed!
