Chapter 115: Thousand Doors and Ten Thousand Households (End)
As soon as Xue Xiang put down the broom, Kang Tong, Zhu Shijun and Lei Xiaotian came together, and the three of them bowed together: "San brother, happy new year, I wish you a happy new year."
Xue Xiang went up to him, reached out to shook the three of them, and smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year, you are so early." Throughout the year, there are only one day when a few guys who are too familiar to be able to talk about some false gifts. Withdrawing his hand, Xue Xiang said, "Let's greetings to my third brother, and I will send you red envelopes." After that, Xue Xiang took out three extra-large red envelopes from the pocket on the inside of her coat and stuffed them to the three of them.
The three of them refused and were not willing to ask for it, but Xue Xiang forced them into their coat pockets. Each red envelope was stuffed with twenty pieces of great unity, which was specially prepared for the three of them. Since Xue Xiang's wallet was plump, although the three of them followed him to eat and drink, they didn't have many tickets in their pockets. Kang Tong was fine, except for this small circle, he had no other social engagements, so naturally there was no cost. But Zhu Shijun and Lei Xiaotian were different.
Relationships are indispensable. Both of them are young men and they both need face. They are tight in their hands, but they are embarrassed to speak to Xue Xiang. After being reborn, Xue Xiang is naturally no longer as good as a young man. He is proficient in human relationships and worldly styles, so he naturally thinks of such a corner. He just has no chance to give money to him legitimately. Similarly, he also has to take care of the feelings and face of the three brothers. He finally waits for the Spring Festival and takes the opportunity to solve this problem.
After the three of them reluctantly accepted it, they went back to the main hall with Xue Xiang, started drinking tea and chatting. Soon, another army of New Year greetings arrived, which scared Xue Xiang to hurriedly greet Kang Tong and the other two to pick up the guests. The group was even more numerous than the previous group. At a rough look, they could not see the end. The army was like a long dragon, constantly rushing from the gate. Seeing Xue Xiang and the others dazed: There seemed to be no such many boys in this courtyard. Girls, even the boys from the division and regiment-level courtyards, the girls came together, and there was no such situation!
It turned out that the old house of Xue's family was proudly promoted by the boys and girls from the military compound. I think so, after visiting so many houses, there were very few who were willing to give out candy, and they counted particles, and each person only got one or two pieces of land. It was not like the third brother, who gave out money, and the boys and girls dared to disappoint them. Compared with the two, everyone missed the treatment they enjoyed at Xue's house more. How could they resist being proud and not show off when they met a familiar playmate? Just like that, the boys and girls near the military compound were all shaking their blood by brand new two cents coins. At that moment, they rushed to the house where the legendary money was given.
Amid the stack of New Year greetings, Xue Xiang greeted Kang Tong and the other two to bring wooden plates to welcome the guests. He ran back to Kang Tong's room and took out the snakeskin bag containing candy. After early morning, the children were already familiar with the process of New Year greetings. After shouting New Year's greetings, they consciously lined up and moved to Kang Tong and the other two to receive the "trophies". At this moment, the three plates had been filled with fruit candy by Xue Xiang, and the three began to work hard to pay tribute to the children.
Finally, the long dragon at the door closed its tail. At this time, the Xue family compound was almost crowded, and three columns in the main hall were starting to give out candy in an orderly manner.
"Who, where are you going to get the money?" After receiving the candy, he was still rushing in the main hall and waiting to collect the money. The dolls were embarrassed to ask for it. Finally, there was a doll who couldn't hold back and "speak for justice".
"Receive money? What money?" Lei Xiaotian was puzzled.
"New Year's money!" The children in the yard shouted in unison, and the sound of the sea made Lei Xiaotian jump.
"How can I give money to greet New Year's greetings? Brothers who have received the candy, please withdraw quickly. Is it still blocked behind me?" Zhu Shijun smiled and looked at the dolls who were knocking enough to hang oil bottles, and joked. The three of them really didn't know that Xue Xiang had a precedent for giving money.
"Lie! Look at what this is! This is what my third brother sent to me in the morning." The person who spoke was the snot baby who came to pay the candy to "third brother" in the morning. But when he saw him holding up a 20 cent coin with his feet, staring at Kang Tong with big eyes and turning provocatively, he glanced at the dolls around him proudly. The snot baby was blatantly coming to pay New Year's greetings and receiving the second reward. When he heard that he had no reward, he did not agree. Of course, he had to do it.
He stood up and became a tainted witness, exposing Kang Tong's lies of deception. Previously, the snotted man went out with the large army, and his schoolbag was filled with it, but it was full of broad beans and peanuts, which made him feel very unfulfilled, who had seen a lot of candies and "huge amounts of money". When the children heard the family who went to pay New Year's greetings, the snotted man felt that he could follow them to pay New Year's greetings again, so he followed him carelessly.
Xue Xiang looked at the snot-nosed baby with an upset look and was amused. The New Year's money he prepared was just used to send the dolls he knew in the courtyard. But he didn't know that these dolls were "in foreign countries" and attracted foreign enemies to invade, which made him difficult. It's not that Xue Xiang couldn't bear to spend the dozens of New Year's money. For the New Year, it was just for the festive celebration. But the key is that the big tickets he prepared were almost all given, and there were still more than ten left, which was not enough for the two or three hundred dolls in front of him to send them.
"Xiaokang, go to Lao Wang immediately, bring all the bad tickets in his store, and send these little ancestors quickly." Xue Xiang had no choice but to call Kang Tong to Lao Wang from the military region's side dish store for change.
Kang Tong responded, ran away, and in a moment, he ran back in a carriage of an old yellow drawer, "Third brother, you're all here."
Xue Xiang took it and looked at it. He was overjoyed. He had twenty or thirty pieces of hair in his trunk. It should be more than enough to send these dolls.
ps: Making pig-killing vegetables during the Spring Festival and eating pig tails to cure runny noses are all interesting things when I was a child. As for the New Year words of "worshiping candy", I was even more "heartfelt words" that I called out when I was a child and laughed at for a long time. There is indeed too much to write about in the 1977 Spring Festival. It can be said that the interruption of the new and old Spring Festival has begun from that year. However, this book is still an official article. After all, after the old, it is time to turn to the topic. In addition, let’s say that this book will intersperse nostalgic plots from time to time, and will not deliberately fight for the struggle. After all, Xue Xiang’s age at this time is really not suitable to give too much official position, so I try not to deviate from the topic.
