Return To 1977 Chapter 257: One year old is eliminated by the sound of firecrackers
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Looking back at the capital.
Ignoring other families, the Hong family spent this New Year’s Eve really harmoniously. First there is the reunion dinner, then watching the New Year, setting off firecrackers, saying farewell to the New Year, and then eating dumplings.
There was no television back then, and there was also no Spring Festival gala. However, the Hong family did not just sit around and watch the New Year. They had their own unique programs.
After having dinner and wine, Hong Lucheng gathered his family together, and then asked Wang Yunlin to take out a stack of red notes and hang them on the wire. On them were riddles that he had copied with a brush many days in advance. Whoever guesses correctly will win a prize.
These riddles have two major characteristics. First, the puzzles are quite entertaining and full of humor. Second, they are all very easy to guess, not difficult at all.
For example, "The **** in the palace" (hit a fruit) - "Plums", "Looking forward to winter" (hit a country name) - "Greece", "Obesity" (hit a food) - "Pork floss", "seventy-two hours" (one word) - "crystal", etc., kept everyone guessing with great interest.
The prizes are filled with the things Hong Yanwu bought at the department store. Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru were the biggest winners of the day. In addition to daily necessities such as shoes, socks, gauze scarves, and handkerchiefs, they also received "hero pens" specially bought for them by Hong Yanwu.
Of course, this is just a way to add some fun. Because even if someone really can't guess, everyone will always get what they deserve in the end.
Besides guessing riddles, another game is "playing poker". In order to take care of the youngest Hong Jun, the Hong family only played "catching the queen", which is a poker game with "tribute", also called "fighting for the upper reaches".
Of course, Hong Jun will definitely not be your opponent. He has lost several times in a row. As a "empress", he has to give the best cards he has caught to the "emperor".
In the first few times, he didn't care if he lost, but he kept losing and losing. Seeing how proud others were when they became "emperors" and received tributes, he felt a little...
Wang Yunlin saw tears starting to well up in her grandson's eyes. He hurriedly winked and winked at others, meaning to ask everyone to give him a little concession, and then brought out a plate of high-end candies bought by Hong Yanwu to him, coaxing him and saying, "If you lose, you will get a prize! If you lose, you will get a prize!"
Hong Jun smiled sheepishly, stopped playing, and went to eat candy.
However, there is also a side effect here. Because everyone ignores that there is "wine chocolate" in the candy.
Hong Jun has never eaten anything like this before. He loves both the colorful cellophane and the taste of chocolate. As a result, he specialized in eating this stuff. By the time everyone realized something was wrong, the kid had already fallen asleep leaning on his face with a red face. Looking at his feet again, there must be twenty small wrapping papers.
Hong Yanwu was the first to understand and said, "It's really good. I guess I got one or two after drinking. This guy has become a drunk cat."
In this way, Hong Jun could neither keep up his old age nor eat dumplings. He even failed to set off firecrackers and was the first to leave.
When midnight was approaching, the sound of firecrackers in the capital became chaos. According to tradition, the formal New Year's Eve ceremony takes place at this moment.
In general, when saying goodbye to the New Year in a family, it is enough to kowtow to the elderly. Not allowed by the Hong family. In addition to children having to kowtow three times to their parents, younger brothers and sisters also have to bow three times to their elder brothers.
The youngest is Hong Yanru. Counting Chen Liquan, she now has four brothers. She has been married for a long time.
However, her hard work was compensated for when she received the "excessive money". Not only Wang Yunlin was so happy that she sent a "red envelope of great unity" to every child in the family. Even Hong Yanzheng, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also gave Hong Yanru a separate share. Everyone knows how to care for this little sister.
But it was even more interesting when it came time to eat "Wuguang Dumplings", and the situation at that time was simply strange. Because Chen Liquan almost spit out a date core after eating a dumpling, and Hong Yanwu almost spit out a coin after eating a dumpling.
This made everyone say "Mom is biased", thinking that Wang Yunlin deliberately placed the dumplings with "content" in front of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
But it’s weird to say that what others put in front of them was not available, but these two guys, when they put it on someone else’s plate, they still had it.
In the end, apart from Hong Lucheng who also ate three coins, the other six coins were all spit out by Hong Yanwu. Chen Liquan ate all nine dates. This is downright evil.
Faced with this result, everyone had to admit it, feeling that it was really a matter of luck.
In short, the golden snake brings victory, and the horse brings spring. Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, men, women and children of the Hong family and every household in the capital welcomed the Year of the Horse into their homes.
After one year, it’s a new page!
February 7, 1978, the first day of the first lunar month.
From this day on, the official Spring Festival holiday begins.
However, one thing must be mentioned. During the ten-year "movement", due to the call from superiors to "not stop fighting for thirty years and continue on the first day of the new year" and "to celebrate the revolutionary Spring Festival", starting from 1967, my country's Spring Festival holiday The system is completely suspended.
Gradual recovery began in 1976. At first, only some provinces, including Beijing, had only three days of holidays.
So now all the New Year greetings, friends and relatives in Beijing must be completed from the first to the third day of the lunar new year. So the time seems a bit tight and a bit overwhelming.
Starting from the first day of the new year, after the Shou family came to the Hong family to pay New Year greetings and spent a day together, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan almost ate out every meal in the remaining days. Not only is the gastrointestinal burden quite heavy, but there are always some unexpected things happening at every meal, which makes Hong Yanwu have to worry about it.
For example, at noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them went to Chang Xianzhang's house for dinner as scheduled. Not only was she warmly entertained by Gu Lingye, but she was also surprised to learn that the two teachers had already planned to get married on May Day.
As Chang and Gu's common students, apart from congratulations, they must also try their best to prepare for their two mentors. So at that time, Hong Yanwu ignored Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye's refusal and insisted on taking over all wedding preparations.
In the afternoon of this day, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan went to Zaolin West Street again to look for "red leaves". Unexpectedly, "Hongye"'s house is closed and even the neighbors can't tell when he will come back.
When they left the note and headed home, they accidentally bumped into Zhang Baocheng who was going to Xing Zhengyi's house for dinner.
In this way, it was better to rush early than to rush late. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were pulled by Zhang Baocheng to Nanxian Pavilion.
Zhao Zhenmin arrived at Xing Zhengyi's house earlier. When he saw Zhang Baocheng coming with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, he immediately started shouting with joy. "Justice, come and see, there are fake policemen who have infiltrated our army." Isn't that right? The navy uniforms of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were placed among the three policemen, and they were basically the same.
This was the first time that Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin met Chen Liquan, but because of Quanzi's honesty that permeated their bones, they quickly became fond of him. On the contrary, it was because of the cans and Maotai liquor that Hong Yanwu brought that they became suspicious of him. After interrogating him for a while, they didn't let him go until Hong Yanwu told him in detail about his encounters in Bincheng, with mixed truth and falsehoods.
Dinner was cooked by Xing Zhengyi’s mother. The dishes were a bit lacking, but the conversation during the dinner was quite interesting.
Since Zhao Zhenmin was going to work as a professional pickpocket, he naturally had to pester Hong Yanwu to tell more about "Buddha".
At the same time, a lot of information was revealed in the chat between the three police officers. It is said that the Fifth Division of the Municipal Bureau has been officially promoted to the Labor Reform Bureau, and many units in charge have also been established. It is estimated that regional classification and crackdown will be carried out next. So they all reminded Hong Yanwu to control himself and not cause trouble outside.
It can be said that this meal was basically an information exchange meeting in black and white. This also made Hong Yanwu soberly aware that the construction of the legal system was accelerating. Whether it was for the peace of mind of his parents or to increase their own security by having a legal career, he and Quanzi should find a job as soon as possible, even if it was a temporary job. Woolen cloth.
What's even more interesting is that when Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan got home that night, they found out that "Hongye" actually came to their door in the afternoon with two boxes of snacks and two bottles of wine. I bet they were looking for each other today, completely leaving. Forked.
So naturally, on the third day of the junior high school, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who had just had dinner with the police, met with "Hongye", "Naughty Boy", "Chop Knife", "Shunzi" and "Sanbengzi". "Player" and "Buddha" sat together.
However, Hong Yanwu felt a little upset about his spleen and stomach after eating this meal, and he also felt a little regretful.
One is because the restaurant is closed, so the content of this meal is a bit wrong, there are no vegetables. This group of people only took two pounds of peanuts, two roast chickens, a plate of preserved eggs, a plate of pig head meat, and a pot of stewed pig trotters to drink. For people who have been feasting on meat and fish for several days, this is really a bit greasy and difficult to swallow.
In addition, the request "Hongye" made to him also made him angry. He didn't expect that his original advice had allowed "Hongye" to get into college, but now this guy was going to depend on him for the livelihood of all his subordinates. It really feels like I'm trapped in a cocoon.
Hong Yanwu is unwilling to take this hot potato, so he has to find an excuse to shirk it.
So firstly, he told all the information he heard from the police yesterday, and secondly, he said that he had washed his hands in a golden basin. According to the "rules of the world", he could not touch anyone with "Buddha" anymore. thing. The third time he came, he said that he and Chen Liquan had not yet settled their livelihoods. If they did not steal or rob, finding a way for so many people would be a fantasy.
Unexpectedly, these reasons not only had no effect on "Hongye", but actually made "Hongye" make up his mind.
"Hongye" said that first of all, it is precisely because of the stricter police intervention that we must find another way to survive. Secondly, the purpose of the brothers is not to rely on their fingers to make a living. Even if they follow Hong Yan in martial arts, they cannot be said to have violated the "rules of the world." Third, even Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who are well-dressed and have Moutai skills, don't look like they are down and out. So he asked Hong Yanwu not to pretend to be a grandson here.
Speaking of this, "Hongye", who had already planned it, asked "Naughty", "Chopper", "Shunzi" and "Sanbengzi" to kowtow to Hong Yanwu, which meant that he was driving the donkey to the rack. Nowadays, I have to answer what I should and what I shouldn’t have.
Now Hong Yanwu was sitting on the wax. He and Chen Liquan looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a wry smile, saying that you really think highly of me. If you really go hungry after me, you will be dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, the words under the red leaves are even more choking. He said that the real people in the world never show their faces, and most capable people pretend to be useless, such as Jigong and Li Tieguai.
