Chapter 157 Gala, the New Year’s money is overwhelming (please order the full version)
Oops!
Even though Father Feng spoke in a low voice, the elder sister-in-law Ke Yumei and the second sister-in-law Sun Juan, who were still helping prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, both looked over in shock.
What did their father-in-law say just now?
"Old Feng, what did you say?"
Even Feng's mother in front of the door didn't dare to hear clearly and subconsciously asked in surprise.
Crackling!
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the yard, directly covering Feng's father's voice.
Feng's mother still vaguely heard what Feng's father said just now. The poem they just wrote for their son-in-law today will be published directly in the newspaper tomorrow, and it will be the People's Daily.
"Give it to me!"
Feng's mother was so shocked that she quickly grabbed the frame from Father Feng's hand. Her face was extremely frightened. She looked at the four-character inscription and the name inscribed in the frame. Immediately after, tears began to well up in Feng's eyes. Whirling and woofing.
Finally, her son-in-law’s name was rectified!
The higher-ups finally spoke up for her son-in-law, and this would be the final word.
Switch to Pioneer!
Mother Feng wiped the frame in her hand with dancing eyes, thinking that everything was finally clear, and with this honorary title of inscription, her son-in-law's career would go further in the future.
This is political capital!
The sound of firecrackers outside was ringing non-stop. Father Feng also found the location and went to the back room to find hammer nails to frame the honor and hang it in the most conspicuous place.
"Old Feng, please wait a moment and let the boss go!"
Mother Feng lamented that her eyes were wandering and she couldn't help herself. She saw that her old man Feng had moved a bench and wanted to stand on it, hammer nails and hang the frame. She was so anxious that she stopped and shouted.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
My uncle Feng Jiazhao and Cheng Xuemin came in after setting off firecrackers. Seeing what he was doing again, they couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"This is today's inscription for Xuemin. Dad will frame it himself and hang it up!"
His wife-in-law, Ke Yumei, mentioned something to her man. Just now she leaned over and glanced at her: Change to Pioneer!
Moreover, it was the person above who wrote the poem for their brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin. No wonder her mother-in-law was so out of character just now, and her father-in-law changed from his previous calmness and arrogance.
That's the inscription above!
If this were placed in the previous dynasty, it would be the emperor's imperial edict for the old Feng family to be promoted to a higher position!
“An inscription for Xuemin?!”
Feng Jiazhao was also surprised now. He looked at Cheng Xuemin next to him and asked: "Xuemin, Mr. Wu gave you an inscription!? What inscription was it?!"
"I'll go take a look!"
My brother-in-law, who was originally going to start the New Year's Eve dinner directly on the table, couldn't sit still and couldn't wait for his mother to hang up and watch again, so he hurriedly came over to take a look.
"You didn't say that!?"
Cheng Xuemin smiled awkwardly, then looked at the woman beside him, Feng Jiayou, and asked.
This whole afternoon has passed!
Logically speaking, they went to Mr. Tang’s place to make a call before. The young Feng family was yelling so loudly. Her mother had already asked what was going on, right?
But now when I see the reactions of my two sisters-in-law and my uncle, they seem to be completely unaware.
Doesn't it mean that Feng Jiayou, who is against Tiangang, didn't tell her mother, brother and sister-in-law?
"Didn't I want to wait for Xuemin to tell Mom and the others in person? If I tell them, it will look like I'm in trouble again!"
Feng Jiayou shrugged and threw the ball directly to Cheng Xuemin.
OK!
Woman, you are getting better and better at shirking the blame, and you are becoming more and more familiar with the trick of pretending to be attractive.
The most important thing is to be able to keep calm!
Well done!
“What?”
"This is……?"
When his uncle Feng Jiazhao came over, Mao glanced at the frame in his mother's hand and was dumbfounded just like everyone else on the spot.
"Boss, hurry up and help your dad pound the nails and hang this up!"
Mother Feng glared at her as a grown-up child and urged.
"Ah! OK, OK!" My uncle Feng Jiazhao nodded repeatedly, but then asked, "No, Mom, is this really the one who gave the students the questions?"
"Isn't it signed!?"
"And it will also be published in the newspaper tomorrow, the People's Daily!"
Now Feng's mother was also in a state of confusion. She asked the elder son to read the signature by himself, but did not forget to add something like Feng's father.
"Mom, big brother, it's the People's Daily on the second day of the Lunar New Year the day after tomorrow! It's too late tomorrow!"
Feng Jiayou's rosy face showed two small dimples in laughter and he added a correction.
"Is it true!? Xuemin, are you so arrogant?"
My uncle Feng Jiazhao took the hammer and nail from his father's hand, stood on the bench, and asked Cheng Xuemin in surprise.
"Brother! I didn't expect that Mr. Wu called me over today to talk about this matter!"
Cheng Xuemin said with a bitter smile again.
With her uncle's quick hands, the frame with the four-character inscription was quickly hung up. Feng's mother looked left and right below, and felt that among the couplet New Year picture certificates in the room, her son-in-law's certificate, which was not a certificate, was the most beautiful. .
Come on!
It's almost framed with gold wire. How can it not be more beautiful than other certificates and New Year pictures?
After a small episode, around eight o'clock, this year's New Year's Eve dinner for Lao Feng's family finally started.
At the dinner table, Father Feng was the first to pick up the wine glass and said with emotion: "It's great. I can receive this honor on New Year's Eve. Everything is really over. I can see the moon in the clouds." Tomorrow will be better..."
As Father Feng talked, he made the entire family present shed tears!
Think back to 1978!
The family, which was originally far apart, all returned to the city one after another, and the whole family was neatly reunited.
Moreover, the young Feng family also went to college and started a family, giving them an excellent son-in-law like Cheng Xuemin, who made the old Feng family look good again and again.
The next step is to encourage her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin, the second son's son Sun Juan, and the youngest son Feng's family to all be admitted to good universities next year.
The family is in good order, except for the second child, Feng Jiacheng, who is still in Yunnan and has not come back.
And I heard that the situation there is getting more and more tense. What the whole family is most worried about right now is the second eldest child, Feng Jiacheng.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone gathered in front of the TV to watch TV.
As early as the winter vacation, there was a report in the newspaper that CCTV would arrange a gala on the eve of the New Year's Eve this year.
This was a new program, and Cheng Xuemin happened to buy a TV at that time, so the whole family was looking forward to watching what kind of gala this CCTV show would be.
"Xuemin, if Mr. Wu wants to keep you for dinner today, will you show up here?"
The Feng family kid suddenly mentioned this, causing the whole family to look at him.
"It should be possible, right?!"
Cheng Xuemin is not sure, after all, today's gala is not the first gala in the true sense.
The real gala would have to wait until the New Year's Eve night in 1983, four years later.
Nowadays, the gala a few years ago was actually a tea party, where everyone sat together to eat and drink, and performed a few programs on stage, which were broadcast live to audiences across the country.
The person who organized this tea party was a cultural propaganda outlet.
Therefore, if Cheng Xuemin stayed for the New Year's Eve dinner today, he might actually be able to show his face at the party.
If his face really comes out, then not only his family will be able to see Cheng Xuemin, but also his parents at home in northern Shaanxi...
All right!
Thinking too much!
Now their entire commune in northern Shaanxi does not have a TV set. Even if Cheng Xuemin showed up at the gala, his parents would not be able to watch.
"Yeah!? Then why don't you stay in Zhonghai for the New Year's Eve dinner, Old Cheng?! You can be on TV!"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo was startled after hearing this and questioned.
Now it was Feng's mother, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law. They all turned their heads to look at Cheng Xuemin with astonished expressions on their faces. On TV!
And it’s CCTV’s New Year’s Eve Gala!
"Look, aren't those Mr. Wu and Mr. Mao?"
Immediately afterwards, his uncle Feng Jiazhao saw Mr. Wu and Mr. Mao in the TV camera and asked everyone to watch quickly.
It was indeed several leaders of Mr. Wu's propaganda outlet who sat together with Mr. Mao.
If Cheng Xuemin was there at noon today, he would be able to show his face, right?
What a pity!
At that time, neither Lao Zhang, Lao Li, nor Lao Qin kept him, so it was hard for him to keep him shamelessly as a junior.
otherwise!
But if my uncle calls me like this, isn’t that Mr. Wu and Mr. Mao?
Everyone will definitely exclaim, look, isn’t this Xuemin! ? Parents, look, isn’t this Xuemin!
After the camera cut, a cheerful and beautiful Parisian cabaret music played, and soon the actors and actresses dancing "Swan Lake" appeared on the TV camera.
Cheng Xuemin immediately frowned.
When we just talked about the first real gala on New Year's Eve in 1978, Cheng Xuemin had some memories and felt that this gala had some program content.
But for a moment, I didn't expect that after the Parisian song and dance of "Swan Lake" came out, Cheng Xuemin reacted instantly.
Don’t wait until Cheng Xuemin reminds the children not to watch it!
The sister-in-law Feng Jiamo next to her immediately covered her eyes and exclaimed: "Ah, why don't they wear any clothes?"
Following closely, Feng's mother and second sister-in-law were also dumbfounded and quickly covered the eyes of the two little ones beside them.
"What are you doing?"
Feng's father, who was happy to have two more drinks tonight, looked at it, his face collapsed on the spot and he said something rude.
It’s so outrageous!
All the actors and actresses in the TV show appeared without clothes. This is not so liberal, right?
"Dad! It shouldn't be! It should be a problem with the black and white TV display. The actors are indeed wearing clothes, but it's not obvious. They all wear clothes!"
After Cheng Xuemin came on this program, he immediately realized why the content of this program impressed him!
Because this was the first CCTV gala, there was such a big mistake. All the members of Swan Lake appeared naked because of the problem with the black and white TV.
The show was quite a sensation at the time.
But thanks to the low penetration rate of televisions in this era, otherwise people all over the country would have seen it.
"That won't work either!"
"For such a big technical problem, the person in charge of the TV station must conduct a review tomorrow. How is this appropriate?"
Father Feng said with a drunken breath, it was really outrageous!
Even if there is a problem with a black and white TV, the person in charge of the TV station should take this into consideration in advance.
The party continues!
Feng's mother didn't know when she got up and went back to the house. Soon, Feng's mother took out a stack of red envelopes and said one by one: "Li Wen Liqin, this is the new year's money for you!"
"New Year's money?! Thank you grandma!"
"Thank you grandma!"
Soon after, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo also cheered because her mother also gave her a red envelope for the new year.
"Mom, do we have one too!? I'm already so old!"
Seeing his mother-in-law handing one over to him, Cheng Xuemin asked with an embarrassed smile on the spot!
“We have them all! It’s rare this year that your eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law all have them!”
Mother Feng's eyes widened with a smile. She had prepared the new year's money for all the children this year.
Including married people and unmarried people, everyone is treated equally and gets New Year's Eve.
New Year’s Eve! New Year’s Eve!
According to the tradition passed down from our ancestors, red envelopes are given to children to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve.
"Hehe, you're welcome then. Thank you, Mom!" The young Feng family smiled brightly, not too cheerfully.
How many years have it passed since I never received any new year’s money from my parents?
"Then...thank you, Mom!"
Seeing that everyone had a share, Cheng Xuemin took it directly and without courtesy.
Next came the second sister-in-law, the elder sister-in-law, the eldest brother, and the others, all of whom had lucky money. Even the second uncle, Feng Jiacheng, who was not present, also had one.
His daughter-in-law and second sister-in-law received it on her behalf.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law gave new year's money to the two little guys, as well as the unmarried sister-in-law Feng Jiamo.
certainly!
Cheng Xuemin also prepared New Year's money for his two younger children, and kept them in the pocket of his wife, Feng Jiayou.
Then, after everyone had distributed their lucky money, it was the Feng family's turn!
There are also three children in the family, one for each child.
"Ah, Old Cheng, sister, a big unity picture?!"
It was the sister-in-law Feng Jiamo who was causing trouble again. She opened the New Year's red envelope given by Feng Jiayou on the spot, and found that there was a big one with ten yuan in it. Don't be too surprised on the spot.
"You are the only one who has many things to do!"
Feng Jiayou glared at her sister angrily.
I had not discussed with my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law how much money to give to them as a gift. It was also the first time for the whole family to get together like this. In addition, it was the first year that the Feng family started a family and started a business, and they celebrated the New Year at their parents' house.
So I just acted generously and gave ten yuan to my two nieces and nephews and the Feng family's new year's money.
But now it’s discovered!
The New Year's money given by her mother is five yuan per person, and adults and children are treated equally.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are also three younger ones, each worth five yuan.
Just the couple gave them ten yuan directly.
certainly!
Feng Jiayou laughed and scolded his sister Feng Jia's last sentence, saying that the amount of New Year's money given to her does not mean anything.
What's more, long ago, the eldest brother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law of the couple had no shortage of new clothes and shoes.
As long as the etiquette is in place!
"Hee hee, aren't I happy! Thank you parents, thank you eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, thank you sister, thank you eldest...brother-in-law, you are all so good!"
Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo smiled broadly. She and the two younger ones received the most New Year's money tonight.
"Liqin Liwen, my little aunt will take you to play. Can you give the red envelope to my little aunt for safekeeping?!"
Immediately afterwards, my sister-in-law went to deceive the children again!
The second sister-in-law was so frightened on the spot that she hugged her two little ones tightly!
"You really deserve a beating, sit down and watch TV!"
Feng Jiayou rolled his eyes at her. Is there such a thing as an aunt? Not only do you not want to give new year's money to your nephews and nieces, but you also want to deceive others, how shameless!
“Why are you giving me this!? Your dad and I have wages now, so we don’t need you to give us this!”
After waiting for a while, Feng's mother got up and went to clear the dishes. The Feng family followed and sealed her mother a big red envelope.
This was what Cheng Xuemin and his wife had discussed long ago, and this is what they spend the Chinese New Year on.
"Mom! You and dad have a salary, you have a salary! This is given to you by Xuemin, you don't want to take it!"
"Take it, take it, it's a little bit of your son-in-law's wishes!"
