The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

After paying New Year's greetings, the sky is basically already bright, and then I go home and hold paper and run to start the ancestor worship on the first day of the new year. In the past, women who went to the grave were not allowed to enter the ground, not even children.

Only when visiting relatives to return to their natal home, is the whole family, big and small, going to visit the grave of the deceased elder, so that the deceased ancestors can see that their descendants are full of children and grandchildren.

However, in the past two years, these customs have loosened a bit, and some girls who are more delicate will help their fathers to go to the grave together. The fathers of the younger generation must have loosened a bit, but they were stared back at by the older grandparents.

But this kind of persistence may not be able to persist for a few years. After a few years, these older generations will pass away, or they will not be able to walk around the village to go to the grave due to poor health. The fathers of the younger generation will become the pillars of the family. The atmosphere will become looser and looser, but it is certain that it will not work now.

After walking around for a while, people who made up a meal of dumplings in the middle of the night were not very hungry, so they seldom had breakfast. Instead, I felt refreshed after a midnight rest, so I went to the granary to continue fighting.

The whole New Year's Day is a time for people to indulge. On this day, it is not allowed to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and it is not allowed to cook with a knife. You can only eat dumplings prepared in advance, and you are not allowed to wash dishes or pots. In short, hard work and hard work A year-round farmer can only taste what it feels like to be a lazy man on this day.

Playing cards, Yang Dongxu will definitely not go again. He has not slept for a few hours until two o'clock at night, and he is pulled out of the bed to pay New Year's greetings to ancestors. Go back to catch up on sleep.

When I come to visit relatives on the second day of the new year, I visit several houses in a few days when there are many relatives. For example, I eat at this house in the morning and go to another house at noon. It is a rule that I am not allowed to visit relatives at night.

The Yang family has many relatives, except for the seven aunts and the eight aunts, because the Yang family has been doing well all these years, and it is getting better and better.

So some less important relatives also left, such as uncle's brother's family and so on. Under normal circumstances, relatives and fathers in rural areas are considered relatives in this generation. For example, if Yang Dongxu calls uncle, it is Yang's father's uncle, and if he calls aunt, it is his mother's aunt's house.

Now the main force of leaving relatives is Yang's father and Yang's mother with their children, so these relatives still have to leave. But grandma and grandpa basically don't leave relatives.

So their relatives of that generation, such as grandma's cousins ​​and Dad Yang, don't feel so close. When they were young, grandma would go back to her mother's house and take her father, who was still a child, for a walk.

Now that grandma is getting older, the number of times she goes back to her natal home is less, and some people have passed away. Although the relationship with these brothers and sisters is still there, it feels a bit far away. So in general the relationship will get weaker and weaker.

Rural people often say that only those who are related by five generations (five generations) can get married, but in fact, the relationship between three generations is almost a little weak.

For example, Yang Dongxu feels close to his mother's natal family, whether it is the second grandfather, the younger grandfather, or the family of the aunt and second aunt. But for the grandpa who is farther away, or the uncle who is separated by one floor, there is not much affection, and the affection for each generation is the same.

However, because of the current situation of the Yang family, most of these relatives are still walking. After all, they come to the door with bags every year. If you don’t go back and walk around, it’s hard to justify your face. A hat for the rich and unkind.

It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, you must carry a bag. For example, when I went to my uncle’s house, I had to carry a bunch of bags every year. First, I brought them all to my uncle’s house, and then Father Yang brought the three brothers and sisters to send them off one by one. The meal must be eaten by the uncle, but the package must be delivered to others, which is also a kind of etiquette.

Because grandpa and grandma are still alive, the whole family went out together when I returned to my mother on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This year, my uncle Shengli's house entertained guests for dinner, so it doesn't matter if there is no one left at home.

But under normal circumstances, Dad Yang came back early after having dinner at grandpa’s house at noon. We have to go to the grave together.

The third day of junior high school can be said to be the busiest time for grandma and grandpa's house. Four daughters and sons-in-law, plus a dozen grandchildren, and great grandchildren, granddaughters, and dozens of people are very lively.

In fact, on the third day of the new year, my cousin should have brought his daughter-in-law back to his daughter-in-law's natal home, but I don't know if it was because Yang Dongxu would come to his grandparents' house unshakably on the third day of the new year.

So all the relatives who can come on this day will come, even the cousin will bring the whole family over, so that it is good to entertain all at once, and it will avoid the trouble of visiting grandparents scattered.

After a while, either the little kid was crying, or the kid was beaten. Especially the little grandpa's child Ran Hao, who just turned ten years old this year is the time when he is mischievous, relying on this is his home field and has the demeanor of a leading brother, leading a group of little kids crazy. After being caught and beaten by the little grandpa, he hid aside and wiped his tears.

As a result, the tears were not dry yet, and some six or seven-year-old children from my cousin's house went crazy with a long stick as a golden cudgel. Throw a cannon into the ditch of the old house in the village to see if you can blow up a few monsters, so that you can show your skills and eliminate the demons.

"Follow them and watch people not fall into the ditch. Is there still a lot of water in the ditch?" Yang Ma came out of the kitchen and yelled at Yang Dongxu.

The daughter cooks, the man drinks tea and chats, watching the children is naturally the task of the third generation who have nothing to do, so they can only smoke a cigarette with a few cousins ​​and watch these wild children from afar .

When eating, Dad Yang sat at a table with several brothers-in-law and uncles and grandparents, the younger generation at a table, a few cousins ​​at a table, and younger children at another table, and it was noisy and lively.

After eating, the children of the youngest generation receive the New Year's money. The children who were mischievous in all kinds of ways knelt in front of the two elderly grandma, and the grandpa shouted to receive the red envelope. a.

Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya have a big red envelope this year, because they just got married, and when they have a child, the red envelope will belong to the child and it's nothing to them.

In addition to the New Year's money given by parents, in fact, when you visit relatives at the age of sixteen or seventeen, the elders will not give you the New Year's money. One is that the children are old enough to not give it anymore, and the other is that adults are too embarrassed to ask for it.

The hustle and bustle ended after going to the grave. The better time, these cousins ​​went to Yang's house together on the sixth day of the new year, and then the adults grabbed the children who were having fun here and didn't want to go home and stuffed them into the car.

Yang Dongxu, a group of relatives who came down to drink, had a big head and felt dizzy every day, and asked Zhou Ya not to drink and to be able to drive. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be sent back after drinking.

The days like this lasted until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and then Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya began to pack their bags and prepare to return to Yanjing to start their second wedding banquet.

Yang's mother originally thought that since it was a wedding banquet, if there were no elders present, it would be too shabby and impolite, but when she heard Yang Dongxu say that she just invited friends to dinner, there was no need to worry so much. Only a simple party can be relieved.

Zhou Yiren was left in Yangjiacun by Yang Dongxu to keep company with old man Xuan. This old man who couldn't stop was busy after hearing that his daughter was pregnant and he could see his little grandson or granddaughter in the second half of this year.

Finally, I felt that there seemed to be some small problems with my body, and I might not be able to bear the children's noise at that time, so I agreed to stay in Yangjiacun to recuperate my body.

As for the handover of work, in fact, almost all of them were handed over years ago, and it doesn't matter whether the remaining trivial matters are handed over or not. In order to prevent my father-in-law from being unable to get away once he returned to Yanjing, the things that really need to be handed over have been handed over over the phone.

"Does it really take that long?" After half a month of dejection, Zhou Ya, who got on the plane, seemed to have found the working status of a strong woman years ago, watching Yang Dongxu take all the documents in his hand and throw them into the On the one hand, Zhou Ya pursed her lips and wanted to relax, but she couldn't.

"It's been so long, Mr. Sun has said that the first two months of pregnancy are the most prone to accidents. Therefore, these two months must not be too tiring. I will take care of things. You are by my side, what can you do? You can point out the good things, so that you don’t have to be too tired, and you can rest assured that many things are by your side, so as not to affect your mood.”

What's it like being a dad for the first time?

First of all, the surprise was a bit unbelievable, what's next? I am not as overwhelmed as I imagined, or I am so happy that I can't be myself. Perhaps it was because the child was not born, and because Zhou Ya was just pregnant, there was only a fertilized egg that had just begun to develop in Zhou Ya's stomach, and she didn't have a clear feeling of blood, so Yang Dongxu's mentality was quite stable.

"But there are so many things abroad." Zhou Ya still couldn't let go.

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yang Dongxu: "Didn't you already hire a lot of professional managers? Since they are paid such a high salary, they must show corresponding abilities.

At present, the situation in China is fairly stable, and the economic environment is not too turbulent. In such an environment, they still can't handle the company's affairs well, so they should leave early. If this group fails, they will be dismissed and replaced. Anyway, as long as the general direction is good, occasional fluctuations in management are harmless. "

Although the mentality is still calm because the child is not yet born, but facing her first pregnant Zhou Ya, it is not an exaggeration to be extremely cautious. If it wasn't for Zhou Ya's disapproval, Yang Dongxu would have liked to let Aunt Hua or Cui Ma watch over him 24 hours a day, and protect him with a higher level of protection than the national treasure panda.

Even if it's wrong to do so in my heart, I understand that pregnant women are not as delicate as imagined. But I can't help but want to do this in my heart. When I see a stone on the road, I just kick it away for fear of tripping. When I see the steps, I think about whether Zhou Ya will slip and fall if I step on it.

This also means that he knows that it is because of too much nervousness. At this time, not only Zhou Ya, who is pregnant, needs to maintain a stable mind, but he also needs to maintain a stable mind, but he just can't control it and thinks what can be done?
