Chapter 167 The First Day (For Subscription)

Many places have the custom of vigil on New Year's Eve, and Lujia Village is no exception. However, with the development of the times, there are fewer and fewer people who insist on vigil. Lu Dong goes to bed after the zero o'clock battle. open.

   After three o'clock in the morning, someone started to explode the battle, and the crackling sound continued.

  Lu Dong stayed up until after four o'clock, it was freezing cold, and I really didn't want to leave the bed.

   The firecrackers sounded at the uncle's house diagonally opposite the door, and Hu Chunlan shouted from the yard: "Dongzi, get up!"

   On the first day of the new year, we have to start the fifth watch.

  Lu Dong got up, washed and set off firecrackers, changed into new clothes, and went out to pay New Year's greetings in the morning.

  Hu Chunlan saw Lu Dong wearing new clothes and nodded: "When you grow up, when will you bring a daughter-in-law back?"

  Lv Dong's dress is mature, a thick jacket with a straight neck, a round neck sweater inside, a pair of fitted slacks, and black leather shoes on his feet.

   For the first Chinese New Year, he bought several clothes. As long as he can bargain and dare to bargain, things are generally not expensive.

   Considering that there may be a lot of formal occasions after the Chinese New Year, Lu Dong's clothes are more sedate.

  Hu Chunlan put on a brand-new woolen coat. Although it was from the big collection, Lu Dong specially picked it, and the quality was okay.

   Lu Dong said: "Mom, I'm only 19, what's the hurry? We have to respond to the call of the country."

  The conditions at home are good, Hu Chunlan is confident, and no longer worried about not being able to find a wife, she said, "Okay, it's up to you."

  Lu Dong didn't think about it at all, after all, there was a lot of work to do at hand.

  Hu Chunlan looked at the time and said, "Go to your uncle's place."

   "I know." Lu Dong replied.

   Brothers and sisters who do not have five blessings in the village, they all celebrate the New Year together on the first day of the new year.

   Before going to the uncle's house, Lu Dong specially covered the gate with two hangings full of red, and after the crackling of firecrackers, there was a red carpet in front of the gate.

   After setting off the firecrackers, Lu Dong saw Lu Jianshe going out and said with a smile, "Uncle Jianshe, Happy Chinese New Year, do you get up early?"

   "Good! Good!" Lu Jianshe smiled: "It starts at four o'clock."

   After saying a few auspicious words for the Chinese New Year, Lu Dong went south, and many people had fireworks in front of their doors, and the finished fireworks were piled up in the middle of the road.

  According to the old custom, you can't clean the fireworks skins before breaking the fifth.

   Turning to Jijie, several five- or six-year-old children ran over in new clothes, chanting nursery rhymes.

   "On the first day of the New Year's Day, Fatty and I went to buy cigarettes. Fatty would light it when he smoked. Don't blame me if you burn your beard."

   There were many people on the street. As we passed by, Lu Dong kept saying hello to people and saying hello.

   Lu Dong met Lu Chun and Lu Xia at the uncle's house, and began to walk around the village to pay New Year's greetings.

   Walk down the street on the first day of the new year.

   Uncles and grandpas all have to go.

   Fortunately, Lujia Village is not a very big village. In a village with more than 3,000 people, it is normal to run for a day on the first day of the new year.

   Even so, it takes five kilometers to get down in the morning.

   Those who are close to each other have to go in and sit, say a few auspicious words for the Chinese New Year, and drink a glass of water and say a few words.

  The older generation in the village, such as the second grandfather, are still wandering around the street when they have nothing to do, looking at the couplets posted by each family, and occasionally mentioning the people they meet on the street for a few words.

   Mainly, the upper and lower joints are reversed too much.

   This situation is becoming more and more common. The younger generation is sulking and sticking up, regardless of the upper and lower links.

  The older generation is very particular about these things, such as New Year's greetings, who may not remember it, and whoever does not come to remember it clearly.

   This year's New Year, in addition to auspicious words, the food company in the village is the most talked about New Year's greetings.

  Innovation, stable start, and benefits for the villagers.

   deserves more discussion than an unzippered US president.

   Therefore, Lu Dong, the person who proposed to do braised cooking and came up with a series of on-the-spot suggestions, has also become the focus of praise from the older generation.

   Lu Dong observed silently, and it was not difficult to draw a conclusion through his eyes and ears that the Lvjia Village, which was already relatively united, became more cohesive after the village collective became rich.

  No one can deny that money can create various problems.

   But it cannot be denied that money can bring many positive factors.

   A weak and impoverished village like Lujia Village cannot do anything without money.

  The children had to be frozen in the classroom in the dilapidated building.

   After walking around the village and returning home, before eleven o'clock, Lu Dong went to the brigade to make calls, mainly to those with mobile phones.

   First, Yang Wenlie and Director Zhao from the University Town Management Committee, Lu Suo and Zhang Team from the Public Security System, Lao Wei from the Industrial and Commercial Administration, Wang Zheng from the County Youth League Committee, and so on.

   There are also Da Yiwan, Du Xiaobing, Zhao Juanjuan, Qian Rui, Qin Ya, Brother Niu and Tang Wei, etc.

  Have had a lot of interpersonal contacts, and had a mobile phone, Lu Dong all made phone calls next to each other to say New Year's greetings.

  It is not surprising that there are many people, not to mention the New Year greetings full of auspicious words.

   After making the call, Lu Dong walked out of the brigade office, thinking about where he would spend money next, first of all, his mobile phone and driver's license.

  As he gets to know more and more people and his business becomes more and more busy, the mobile phone is becoming a necessity for him.

   In 1999, it is estimated that the mobile phone network access fee should be reduced.

   If you have a driver's license, it's not that driving schools will bloom everywhere in the future. There are only two places where you can learn a driver's license with a full green license. One of them is a traffic technical school, which has moved to the south of the university town, not far from the central intersection.

   Lu Dong asked Lu Chun specifically, "I heard that you can buy a driver's license?"

   "Yes, you can buy it." Strictly speaking, it is also a systematic, Lu Chun understands: "There are always people who do things irregularly."

   Lu Xia said: "Without systematic learning, it is very dangerous to drive randomly."

   Lu Dong joked: "Second brother, I'm not going to fly."

Lu Chun understood the meaning of Lu Dong's question, and emphasized: "Don't buy it. If you learn to drive, you will learn it seriously. It's no trivial matter on the road! If you don't take the test, you will get a driver's license. Driver, you have nowhere to cry."

   Lu Dong said, "I'm going to take the test safely."

   He can drive, and he has never touched anyone before, but he has touched it a few times himself when he is a novice.

   But after the novice stage, the technology can be considered.

   However, driving a car and driving test are two different things. An old driver who runs 100,000 kilometers safely and without accidents may not be able to pass the driving test.

   It is necessary to register at that time to familiarize yourself with the driving test of this year.

   Lu Lanlan jumped over from the south, called Lu Chun and Lu Xia, and jumped in front of Lu Dong: "Brother Dong, Happy New Year!"

  Compared to Lu Chun and Lu Xia, she and Lu Dong are much more familiar with each other, and she extended a hand while greeting New Year.

   Lu Dong took out his pocket, took out a piece of chocolate, and put it in Lu Lanlan's hand: "I knew you had to be like this, get ready."

  Lv Lanlan frowned when she saw the rectangular chocolate: "Thank you Brother Dong, Brother Dong is the best."

   At noon, we have to go to the old house on the old street to eat, and the three of them go to the old house to help.

  Drinks and dishes are ready-made and quick to make.

  The three brothers opened the Eight Immortals table, wiped the table and moved the stools, and chatted.

   Basically, Lu Dong and Lu Chun are talking, and Lu Xia is listening.

  The topic quickly turned to Lv Chun's personal problem, and Lu Dong asked, "Brother, when will you go to Sister Fang's place after Chinese New Year?"

   Lu Chun said: "It's past fifteen. If you haven't left, it's not easy to go to the first fifteen."

  Lu Dong thought of what he had seen and heard at the Baiyun Gathering, and asked, "What is Sister Fang doing at home? Do you have a younger brother? A younger sister?"

   Lu Chun said casually: "The conditions are similar to ours. Her father is a teacher in middle school, her mother is farming at home, and her sister is in high school."

   "After you've been there, do you want to find a middleman?" Lu Dong said again, "I heard that there is a talk for yourself, so I would like to find a matchmaker."

  Some things are best to talk to a middleman, but face-to-face talks between the parents of both parties are often the worst. If one cannot agree, there is no room for relaxation.

   Lu Chun set up the chair and said, "Let's talk after the first trip."

   Lv Dong felt that the family of being a teacher should be better off. Although it is common for teachers to pay arrears in this era, the family conditions of being a teacher are generally not bad.

  The family conditions are not bad, especially if you have a younger sister instead of a younger brother, you will have less trouble.

   Many families in Beihe and Qingzhao North are not completely unreasonable, but forced by so-called customs. There is a younger brother in the family, and the older sister doesn’t order much when she gets married. What should the younger brother do when he gets married?

   It is estimated that many parents have the same idea.

   eventually evolved into a vicious circle. The more places you want, the more you want, and the more difficult it is for men to get wives.

After Lu Jianguo arrived, the whole family started to eat at the table. Although many people were drunk from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, Lu Xia did not drink. Lu Dong and Lu Jianguo went to the village committee for a meeting in the afternoon, and they did not drink. Lu Chun finished the meal. When I went to work, I didn't drink at all.

   After dinner, Lu Xia went to his classmates, Lu Chun returned to the university town, and Lu Jianguo went to the village committee compound first.

   Lu Dong helped Hu Chunlan and the aunt clean up before leaving the house.

   As soon as he arrived on the street, Seventh Aunt came from the north, followed by the nails, and danced with a long tube of thunder and thunder that was finished as a big sword.

   Lu Dong asked, "Where is Seventh Uncle?"

  Aunt Seven sighed: "I've been drinking it since last night, and I've had four meals at noon today. I'm drunk, and I'll lock him in the house..."

   "My dad is here!" The long barrel in Nail's hand pointed to the north.

   Lu Dong and Aunt Qi turned their heads to see that Lu Jianren was wearing new clothes, walking swaying from the north.

   Seven aunt's teeth hurt: "I jumped over the wall again!"

   Lu Dong knew that ordinary courtyard walls could not stop Seventh Uncle.

  Lv Jianren has a huge amount of alcohol, and he doesn't know how much he drank, so he can't walk steadily. At noon, when the head is thawed, the cement road in the old street is not easy to walk.

   He slipped under his feet, and he fell to the ground with a plop, or fell in the middle of the road.

  The old-fashioned cement road on the main street in the village has a shallow ditch for drainage in the middle. It thawed at noon, and the ditch was full of mud.

   Lu Dong didn't care, Seventh Aunt stood still, Nails watched the show with great interest.

  Lu Jianren got up, his face, hands and clothes were covered with black mud.

   Seven aunts are really helpless: "The first day of the new year is like this, when will it be the end of the year?"

   "Seventh Uncle is much better." Lu Dong helped Lv Jianren with good words: "There must be a process for people to change."

  Seven aunts looked back and thought about it, worked hard for half a year, got a commendation from the county, and earned tens of thousands of dollars, which is a lot more than in previous years.

   "Fujiko, thanks to you." Seventh Aunt was not confused.

   Lu Dong said: "Let's send the seventh uncle back first, it's not the way to go back and forth."
