Chapter 759: Chinese New Year (first chapter, since this chapter is a transition and has little connection)
Time flies and the Spring Festival of 1962 arrives. Gao Zhendong does not go to work. Going to work during the Spring Festival is a bit too much.
It's cold in spring, but the children don't care. They run around inside and outside the courtyard dressed like cotton balls. Although they look quite rustic to Gao Zhendong, they are cute.
Lou Xiao'e probably has a strong maternal instinct because she is pregnant with her child, and she likes everyone's children. Just for this reason, she didn't even stay at Lou's house, and specially chose this day to go back to the courtyard to celebrate the New Year.
She asked Gao Zhendong to light the old tin bucket stove, move a table and stools and sit at the door while watching Gao Zhendong post Spring Festival couplets. Gao Zhendong placed stools on three sides of the table, so that everyone could have a place to sit. Secondly, there are more obstacles to prevent children from bumping into Lou Xiao'e in a hurry.
Lou Xiao'e put a lot of snacks on the table, including peanuts, melon seeds, halva, milk candies... She even made a thermos of malted milk and put it there. It was hot when poured out, not to mention how sweet it was.
He Yuyu was also sitting next to Lou Xiao'e. Her brother went out to buy new year's goods, so she came to Lou Xiao'e to join in the fun. The brand new red coat she was wearing was given to her by Lou Xiao'e, and she looked a bit foreign. He Yuyu was also two years older and didn't play with the kids, but he followed Lou Xiao'e closely.
Ever since the news about Lou Xiao'e's rescue of Banggeng spread, He Yuyu has always admired him. As long as Lou Xiao'e is at home and she is fine, she likes to come to Lou Xiao'e.
Therefore, the entrance to Gao Zhendong's house is like a vegetable market. The children come to grab a handful now and then drink a glass of sweet water. They are very happy.
Lou Xiao'e seemed to be happier than the children, and she was so amused by teasing the children.
Gao Zhendong follows her and she is happy. As for things that are conspicuous or inconspicuous, if his family cannot produce these things, it will be more conspicuous.
To say that the most crowded place is the front yard, Lou Xiao'e has become the king of children, and Yan Bugui is still writing Spring Festival couplets for the neighbors. It is free today and will not wait when it is late. Even the one Gao Zhendong is posting, He also wrote it.
"General Engineer Gao, I heard that your lover is happy?" Yan Bugui was busy working while chatting with Gao Zhendong.
At Gao Zhendong's current level, no matter what Yan Bugui is, he can no longer pretend to be stupid and call him "Zhendong". Although Gao Zhendong doesn't care, Yan Bugui is alert in his heart.
Gao Zhendong did not hide the matter about Lou Xiaoe. People in the yard knew about it, so people would naturally be careful when dealing with Lou Xiaoe, and the probability of accidents would be smaller.
The most confusing thing that Gao Zhendong couldn't understand when he watched various TV series in his previous life was that it was obviously a normal thing, but the people in the TV series had to cover it up. In the end, there was either an accident or a misunderstanding. It made people's teeth itch after watching it. This is not enough. I can handle it.
"Yes, if anything happens, Teacher Yan and Aunt Yan can help me more." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.
Yan Bugui heard this and said yes.
While they were talking, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu came in from outside the courtyard carrying a large bag of things. Their affairs were public in the courtyard, so it was extremely normal for them to be in a couple.
The two of them carried a lot of things. Both Shazhu and Qin Huairu achieved great results at work last year. If Qin Huairu was just following Yi Zhonghai to get the glory, then Shazhu was a serious member of the 17th Machinery Department and Defense Works Department. One of the main contributors to the joint project between the committee and the committee, he was also very successful during the year-end review and evaluation. He even won the third prize for the Fiery Science and Technology Award.
This made Silly Zhu extremely happy. There was smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, so he had to knock Gao Zhendong on the spot.
He gained a lot at the end of the year, and Qin Huairu was not bad either. After all, she followed Yi Zhonghai and did a lot of work in the third factory. One of the characteristics of the work in the third factory is that it has sufficient funds, including personnel expenses.
Not only is the funding sufficient, but there are also many achievements. By the end of the year, Qin Huairu has gained a lot of benefits.
So the two of them went out to buy New Year's goods, and they were quite lavish. They bought a lot of big and small bags.
They were followed by Bangge, who was considered to be a half-grown boy. He was already able to work these days, and he went out with two adults to work as a coolie to carry bags.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, Banggeng ran straight to Lou Xiao'e, taking out a bunch of candied haws as he ran.
"Aunt Lou, happy New Year! I'll treat you to some candied haws."
Lou Xiao'e was so happy that it tasted sweet and sour. She always wanted to eat it recently, but she couldn't get enough of it at home because of her mother's control. Gao Zhendong took a look and saw that the ones made with bonus were, well, edible.
She took it and handed Banggeng a small red envelope: "Thank you Banggeng, here, the new year's money! You can take whatever you want to eat."
All the children in the yard have them, no matter how big or small, they all cost one dollar. As for whether the money is high or not, she doesn't care, and Gao Zhendong doesn't care either. She just wants to be happy. His annual royalties are in the tens of thousands. Relevant departments all know what the big deal is if they give one yuan as lucky money to their children during the Chinese New Year.
Banggeng happily took the small red envelope and kowtowed to Lou Xiaoe. To put it into detail, it was normal for all the children in the hospital to kowtow or not, but he was the only one who should kowtow.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu did not "keep" the new year's money for Banggeng. Firstly, their family was not too tight now and did not want to plot against the children. Secondly, in her heart, Lou Xiao'e gave Banggeng the money. Red envelopes are different. They can bless children. This money must be left to Banggeng to spend on himself.
"Uncle Gao, do you have a little whip?" When Banggeng is afraid of Gao Zhendong, he is really afraid. When he is not afraid, he is really not afraid. As long as he has done nothing wrong, Uncle Gao will always be amiable and good. thing. Gao Zhendong turned around and took out a small whip from the house and handed it to the stick. This thing should not be placed near Lou Xiao'e. Most of the firecrackers crackling everywhere in and around the yard were Gao Zhendong's "arms dealer" "Other families buy them to put away when eating or saying goodbye to the New Year. There are very few ones that can be put out for children to play with.
One of these two couples was given money, and the other was given "guns". It was amazing!
Bangge happily took it, and Silly Zhu lightly slapped him on the back of the head: "Put it aside, don't put it in front of your Auntie Lou."
"Zhendong, are you having dinner at my house tonight?" Silly Zhu turned his head and smiled at Gao Zhendong.
Lunch is still a long table banquet, and everyone is busy with their own work at dinner.
Xie Jianye went back to his Yue's house in Haihekou with his lover to celebrate the New Year. Wang Dezhu had to be on duty during the Spring Festival, so Wan Yueqin simply took her child and made dumplings to the unit to spend it with him.
"Okay!" Gao Zhendong agreed readily. It was lively here and there were many children. Lou Xiao'e didn't want to go back to Lou's house, so it was just right for him to rub shoulders with Sha Zhu. When it came to craftsmanship, it had to be Sha Zhu. Let’s talk about Lou Xiao’e’s situation, so she has to make ends meet!
Silly Zhu was so happy: "Then it's settled. I'll go work on the long table banquet first. You don't need to prepare your dishes for the long table banquet. I'll take care of it here."
As the designated host for weddings and weddings in the yard, Shazhu was definitely the busiest person in the yard today.
Gao Zhendong turned around and brought a few Northeastern products to his home: "Come on, come on, take these with you and see how to make them." Comrades from the Northeast Carbon Research Institute and the Institute of Optics are very enthusiastic every year.
"Hey, these are all good things, but I can't make them in a short time. You keep them." Silly Zhu picked out a pair of fluffy toys from inside.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
"It's okay. I'll leave it where you are and take your time. It's not like we have to eat it today. We won't do these things anyway."
Silly Zhu didn't push it, and went back to the middle courtyard with his things. He was still busy today, but Qin Huairu stayed and talked with Lou Xiao'e and He Yuyu for a long time, and then returned to the middle courtyard to meet his aunt and daughter-in-law. The children worked together on the long table banquet.
Lou Xiao'e also wanted to join in the fun, but Gao Zhendong held her down tightly. There was no way! She also asked He Yuyu to stare at her, which made He Yuyu extremely happy.
The changes visible to the naked eye during the long table banquet at noon are that the smiles on the faces of the adults are happier and the toys in the hands of the children are more diverse. In addition, the things at the long table banquet are richer and each family has its own products. There are also a lot more meat dishes than last year.
Gao Zhendong saw this and was enjoying himself while eating. Hehe, it still had some effect.
At dinner, Gao Zhendong and his wife came to Shazhu's house. To their surprise, Qin Huairu was not there.
"Hey, the day is coming soon, don't be in a hurry." Silly Zhu smiled as if he was worth 2,500,000 yuan.
It seems that the two of them have already discussed and decided. If this is the case, it is really inappropriate for Qin Huairu to come here at this time, otherwise it will cause a change in the mentality of the Jia family, which will not be a good thing.
Looking out from the window of Shazhu's house, Qin Huairu's house is also bustling with activity. You can see Yi Zhonghai and his wife there. It doesn't matter how old they are, it doesn't necessarily have to be when they are too old to be able to walk.
Gao Zhendong turned his head and looked at the deaf old lady sitting at the table with a smile, "It's okay for this couple."
"Old lady, do you want to drink?" Gao Zhendong asked, his voice not loud. Even when the old lady didn't want to be deaf, she was actually not very deaf.
"Drink a little, just a little." The deaf old lady made a gesture with her right hand that could make Nanbang furious.
"Sure, I'll pour it for you." Lou Xiao'e moved more quickly than Gao Zhendong.
The deaf old lady took out the thing in her hand and compared it to Lou Xiao'e: "Look what these are?" Although she was still working, she could vaguely see that they were a pair of cute little shoes with soft soles. .
Lou Xiao'e put her arms around the deaf old lady's shoulders and laughed heartily.
People in the room ate until eight or nine o'clock. Silly Zhu asked He Yuyu to send the deaf old lady back to the backyard. Gao Zhendong and Silly Zhu drank happily, but He Yuyu, who had sent her back, quietly leaned towards Lou Xiao'e.
"Sister Xiao'e, let me ask you something. Please give me some advice."
"Okay, okay." The two leaned together and whispered.
At twelve o'clock at midnight, the sound of firecrackers ushered in the new year in the traditional sense.
