Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ?In Shilipu, early in the morning, before the sun came up and the weather was gray, an orange-red Wrangler drove into the yard of Liu Jianshe's house, and the roar suddenly broke the tranquility of the yard.  .

    "Ah, my brother-in-law is here!" There was a cheer in the room, and Liu Jianshe, Liu's mother, Liu Ying and his younger brother Liu Sheng, a seven or eight-year-old boy, opened the door curtain and came out one after another, their faces full of joy.

    The day before, the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, the afternoon when Zhang Weidong returned to Rongzhen, Liu Jianshe took his mother and reluctant Liu Ying back to Ershilipu on a motorcycle because Zhang Weidong was going to return home the next day.  It was holiday, and he planned to go to Liu's house this New Year. The car was fully loaded with goods and only had two seats, so there was no room for a third person.

    No, on the early morning of the 22nd, Zhang Weidong, Liu Ding and another member, Xiao Heihei, drove the Wrangler straight to Ershilipu.  The car not only had many gifts purchased from the city, but also received benefits from the police station, including two ten-kilogram bags of rice, two large bags of noodles, two five-liter barrels of rapeseed oil, and twenty kilograms of pork hind legs.

    However, this is not over yet. There are also a large number of apples, pears, bananas, walnuts, vegetables, beef, mutton, pork, rice, flour, oil, tobacco and wine, etc. After filling the car, it can no longer be packed.

    And they are picky about their food, and they also have a lot of wild game, such as hundreds of kilograms of wild boar, more than ten kilograms of yellow mutton, seventeen or eighteen hares and pheasants, dozens of kilograms of ostrich meat and ostrich eggs and other rare items, oil stamps,  Most of the high-end cigarettes and alcohol were left in the shop and piled up in a big pile. They didn't want the rest and planned to send them back to Ershilipu.

    ¡°Some of these ¡®local souvenirs¡¯ are given by my subordinates, and some are given by various units.  Zhang Weidong did not refuse and accepted them all.

    In fact, since he came back, his status within the Rongzhen system seems to have changed dramatically.  The town committee, the town government, and even many departments such as industry, commerce, finance, etc. also prepared gifts, bonuses, gas coupons, etc. for him, plus some materials sent by his subordinates, many, many.

    This time, the bonus he received from the town was far more than the 40,000 yuan from the police station. There were also 50,000 yuan from the town committee and the town government, and a total of about 10,000 yuan from several other units.  The cash he carries alone is one hundred thousand.

    It can be said to be a bumper year. No wonder the salary of being an official is not necessarily high, but there is a lot of hidden income, this time.  Zhang Weidong understands this deeply.

    Fortunately, everyone saw from the newspaper that he was a billionaire, so they did not choose to give away money, but replaced it with souvenirs.  Otherwise, the money collected this year will probably not be small.

    "Sister, brother-in-law, have you bought so many years' worth of goods?" As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Nizi Liu Ying cheered and opened the door.

    can be seen.  The space behind the car was already full, and even Liu Ding was holding something in his arms.

    And the younger brother Liu Sheng is only seven or eight years old.  He was still a little boy and was not familiar with this brother-in-law.  She followed her parents timidly, staring curiously at the car and the people with her big innocent eyes.

    Zhang Weidong and Liu Ding got out of the car. After hearing this, they smiled and explained to Liu Jianshe: "This is a gift from various government departments and subordinates. They are all food and drink. I can't accept it. Not only these, but there are also other things in the shop."  There are so many of them that I can¡¯t fit them in the car, so I might as well not bring them over¡ª¡±

    "That's enough, that's enough. You can't take it with you anymore. We have everything at home now. If you take too much, it won't be good for you if others see it -" Liu Jianshe said hurriedly.

    He has been a soldier and has some experience. He knows that his son-in-law is an official and there are many people who want to curry favor with him. However, the officialdom is too complicated and it may capsize if he is not careful. He does not want his son-in-law to fall because of this.

    Zhang Weidong nodded and said: "I know, everyone knows that I am rich, so they just give away some things, souvenirs, general tobacco and alcohol, etc. These will not be a problem. Money or things that are too high-end, I  I won¡¯t accept it either¡ª¡ª¡±

    "That's good. Although I'm not a cadre, I've heard more and more about cadres being paid to eat and drink, and many people just care about money -" Liu Jianshe said.

    "I won't have any problems, don't worry, Uncle Liu -" Zhang Weidong smiled and said with certainty.

    "Weidong, it's enough for you to keep these things for food and drink. You can save money by buying them. Don't bring so many things with you in the future -" Mother Liu took the opportunity to say while moving the things.

    They seemed to be moving a lot of things. Although they were busy, they were enjoying themselves.

    At this time, Liu Ding glanced at Zhang Weidong and said: "Mom, we still have a lot of them, enough for a car. We can't eat these. Weidong said that these things can't be stored for a long time. We can eat them again at home."  I bought a refrigerator, which will be enough for half the next year, and Weidong also brought my dad a dozen cartons of cigarettes and a dozen bottles of good wine!"

    The little girl is very proud and happy, her face is red and radiant.

    "Sister, where are my new clothes?" Liu Ying asked anxiously.

    ?"Yes, our whole family has them. Everyone has two sets, including shoes!" Liu Ding said with a smile.

    "I don't know if it's beautiful or not. It would be great if I were in the city. I can choose for myself!" Liu Ying muttered.

    Xiao Nizi wanted to go to the city several times, but Zhang Weidong refused. These gifts were all bought by Yu Ya after asking about their sizes.

    Yu Ya knew that Zhang Weidong also had a girlfriend who was studying in high school. This girl was also a little jealous. However, her self-regulation skills were not bad and she acquiesced in Zhang Weidong's love interest. Anyway, she was close to the world, and their relationship was approved by Yu's parents.  He just didn't open his mouth to explain.

    "You girl, your brother-in-law bought it. You are content with it, but you still pick and choose. Why don't you move things quickly?" Mother Liu scolded.

    But the little girl is thick-skinned and doesn¡¯t take it seriously at all when she smiles and makes faces.

    With everyone¡¯s efforts, all the things were moved into the unused house. With these things, there is no need to buy most of the New Year¡¯s goods. At most, we can buy some other vegetables.

    ¡ª¡ª

    More than half an hour later, Zhang Weidong took out a small bag in front of everyone in the room, which contained ten hundred-dollar bills.

    "Uncle Liu, Auntie, this money is the bonus given by the town this time. It's one hundred thousand in total. I can't use it, so I just put it at home to supplement my family income. It's a filial piety from me and Xiao Ding. Don't refuse. The family is stable.  .Xiao Ding and I feel more at ease¡ª¡ª"

    "Weidong, this -" Liu Jianshe was in a dilemma and looked at each other with Liu's mother. They didn't expect Zhang Weidong to come up with so much money.  I was a bit shocked, it was too much!

    And at this time, Liu Ying, a little girl, didn¡¯t dare to talk nonsense.

    Zhang Weidong smiled humorously and said: "This time the Ministry of Public Security, the province, and the city gave me a bonus of 800,000 yuan. However, I am not short of that money. I donated it all to the municipal welfare home. There are also some bonuses from other provinces. I  I don¡¯t plan to ask for it either. I plan to donate it all. In addition, the bonus from the branch is expected to be paid out before and after the year, at least tens of thousands, which is enough for us. We are all a family, don¡¯t worry about it, Xiao Ding followed me, I  Already made money¡ª¡ª"

    Liu Ding looked at Zhang Weidong with great affection.  At this time, he took a breath and said: "Mom and Dad, if Wei Dong gives it to you, you can take it. We are not short of this little money, Wei Dong said. No matter how much money it is, it will be 1.8 million. He can afford it."  However, he said that sometimes a family is blessed to have a mediocre life, but having too much money is not good¡ª¡ª"

    She said in her heart that she would identify with Brother Wei Dong for the rest of her life. When she thought about it, she felt much more at ease.

    Liu Jianshe was silent for a moment, collected the money, handed it to Liu's mother, and said, "You're interested. You're right. A simple family is a blessing. The family is in good condition now. We don't have to worry about food, drink, and expenses. Xiaoying  You are responsible for Xue and Xiao Shengxue. Your mother and I are satisfied with planting a few acres of land and raising a few pigs. You should not give us any more money in the future. This is enough!"

    "Now, our family will have a good New Year. This year's New Year is the most delicious. Tomorrow is the Little New Year. Weidong probably hasn't spent the New Year in the countryside yet. It's very interesting!"

    Liu Jianshe said with a real smile on his face.

    Zhang Weidong was also infected, so he said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, don't tell me, I haven't really passed it. Anyway, you can just command me if there are any customs, and I will also have a good experience!"

    "Brother-in-law, since childhood, we have been worshiping the Kitchen God, giving incense to the Kitchen God, kowtowing, and paying tribute to the offerings such as sugar cakes!" Liu Ying chirped first.

    The family was nearby to add.

    Generally speaking, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a small year. The ancestors passed down the custom of worshiping the Kitchen God. There is a saying of "officials, three people, four boatmen and five", which means that the government sacrifices to the Kitchen God on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which means sending gifts to the Kitchen God.  , while ordinary people worship the Kitchen God on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and those who work on water will worship the Kitchen God on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

    However, nowadays, many people do not distinguish between officials, civilians and officials, but directly worship the Kitchen God on the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.  At the place where you are cooking, put a statue of the Kitchen God with a calendar of the past year underneath, then light incense, worship it, and kowtow.

    The purpose of worshiping the Kitchen God is to let the Kitchen God bless the peace of the whole family in the coming year.

    After worshiping the Kitchen God, there is another big action, which is to sweep the dust. From the New Year to New Year's Eve, the house will be cleaned inside and outside to prepare for the New Year, so it is also called 'Spring Day' or 'Dust Sweeping Day'.  Welcome the festive new year cleanly.

    Among them, some people also cut window grilles. This is probably something the older generation still remembers. Nowadays, many young people only remember to paste couplets and cut window grilles. Firstly, they no longer have this skill, and secondly, they probably have forgotten it.

    After that, it¡¯s time to write and post Spring Festival couplets.  In some places, Spring Festival couplets are posted early on the New Year's Day, while some people start posting Spring Festival couplets after the Small New Year. In fact, traditional customsIn the middle of the year, after the Little New Year, it is already time to write and post Spring Festival couplets. This heralds the arrival of the New Year. No, there must be a welcoming process!

    There are also some details, such as getting a haircut, bathing, and wearing new clothes. Not only must the home and outside be cleaned, but one must also clean themselves; for example, starting from the 23rd, some newlyweds rush to get married in these days, also known as  To 'drive out a random marriage' because it is an auspicious day.

    Wait, some cumbersome etiquette.

    ¡°However, all of this is aimed at celebrating the New Year.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the village or several neighboring villages unite, there are some interesting activities, such as hunting in the mountains.

    Rather than hunting with guns, the government bans guns. Everyone can only use bows, arrows and sticks, and there are also hunting targets, mainly hares and wild boars.

    Among them, hares are allowed to be hunted, and there is no limit on the number, but wild boars are different. They have become national protected animals and cannot be killed so casually. However, there are too many wild boars in this area, which damage crops severely. Therefore, the town¡¯s Armed Forces Department conducts hunting every year.  Each village is given a quota of three wild boars, and only adult wild boars can be hunted. Any more than one will be against the law.

    Having said this, Liu Ying was eager to try and said: "Brother-in-law, you must participate. If you can hunt a wild boar, the wild boar will belong to us, and several villages will also give bonuses, one for each wild boar."  It¡¯s a thousand yuan!¡±
