All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

The telegraph office was so busy that it didn't have a holiday until the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. There were six days of vacation, and it officially went to work on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

February [-], [-], New Year's Eve.

It was rare to rest, Yue Wenxuan slept late, and did not get up until the sound of firecrackers came from the courtyard.

Putting on his clothes, he went to the yard. Under the leadership of Yue Jiashi, several skinny boys in the family were rummaging through the crumbs of firecrackers scattered all over the place to check for missing firecrackers.

The quality of firecrackers in this era is not very good. After a whip is fired, dozens of firecrackers that have not exploded can be picked out.

These missing firecrackers are the best toys for the boys. Everyone can grab one and play happily for a long time.

For the three meals on New Year's Eve, there is nothing special about breakfast. According to the family situation, it is enough to prepare as much as possible.

Today's breakfast is white flour steamed buns and white rice porridge. My sister-in-law didn't make polenta on purpose, just to please her.

The pickle sticks, which are indispensable for breakfast every day, were not served on the table today. Instead, there was a pot of fragrant pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.

After breakfast, men and women are divided into two groups, the women's group eats bread dumplings, and the men's group pastes couplets.

The great responsibility of writing couplets must of course be fulfilled by Yue Wenxuan.

Under his command, Jiamin cut the red paper. After Yue Wenxuan finished writing a piece of paper, Jiaying took it away, and Jiashi and Meng Xuchuan cooperated to post it.

Before Yue Wenxuan finished writing the couplets at home, the neighbors on the left and right came to the door one after another with red paper.

During this period of time, the Yue family got along very well with the neighbors around them, and they could help each other with anything.Otherwise, these people would not beg to come.

Yue Wenxuan never refuses neighbors who come to visit him. He creates a pair of couplets in one go, with smooth ink and festive words. Most importantly, the font is wild and elegant, just like everyone else.

There are not many people around who can read and write in the neighbors. Of course, they can't tell how good Yue Wenxuan's calligraphy is. They just think that Yue Wenxuan's handwriting is very beautiful.

The literate people in the family are even more used to it. Living together every day, they have seen Yue Wenxuan's calligraphy a long time ago.

When Meng Yining first saw Yue Wenxuan's calligraphy, she was very shocked. Although she studied in a new school, she also studied Chinese Enlightenment when she was young, and practiced calligraphy hard.

Although she does not have high attainments in calligraphy, she still has the most basic ability to distinguish.

In her opinion, Yue Wenxuan's calligraphy skills surpassed that of anyone she knew in real life, even compared with those famous calligraphers in history, she felt that they were not inferior.

This incident shocked her for a long time. It was not until she got used to it for a long time that Meng Yining gradually got used to the fact that her fiancé was a master of calligraphy.

Several children in the family worked together, and their own couplets were posted early, but Yue Wenxuan was busy until almost noon, before he sent all the neighbors away.

According to the customs of my hometown, this lunch on New Year's Eve will never change, and the unshakable thing is dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.

Of course, if the conditions are not met, what to eat for lunch at noon is another matter.

After lunch, there is another very important activity, which is ancestor worship.

If it is in the hometown, the men in the family will bring paper money and firecrackers to pay homage to the ancestral grave.

Now that I am in a foreign land, I can only keep things simple.

After lunch, Yue Wenxuan took all the men in the family and headed to the intersection.

Meng Xuchuan took a sacrifice alone, and followed Yue Wenxuan to the intersection.

Nowadays, there are people fleeing from other places everywhere, and there are quite a lot of people worshiping ancestors at the crossroads. Yue Wenxuan's family is among them, and they are not at all conspicuous.

After the ancestor worship, the men, women and children in the family started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together.

The sister-in-law is the best cook, and she took on the position of head chef without hesitation, and everyone else can only follow suit.

Boys mainly do the work of chopping firewood and lighting the fire, while picking vegetables and cooking are the work of women.

The New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening is extremely rich. The main dishes are: stewed chicken nuggets with mushrooms, braised pork, sweet and sour fish, stewed beef with potatoes, Sixi meatballs, and tamales.

In addition to these six hard dishes, the sister-in-law also prepared four vegetarian dishes, making a total of ten dishes.

When the food was on the table, the whole family sat down, and the old lady sitting in the main seat couldn't help but said with emotion:
"I never dreamed that our family could still live such a good life.

When the family life was good a few years ago, there were not so many hard dishes during the Chinese New Year.Now that he has escaped to other places, the days are getting better and better, and there is more and more hope. "

Thinking of the hardships on the way to escape from the famine, and the relatives killed by the devils, the sister-in-law couldn't help but wiped the corners of her eyes.

According to the customs of my hometown, during the two days of Chinese New Year, no tears should be shed or words of frustration should be said.

The sister-in-law has long been accustomed to the customs of her hometown, she smiled again and said:

"Our family can have such a good life, the main reason is that grandma is very lucky to have such a promising grandson like Wenxuan.

Wenxuan is capable, and with him as the head of the family leading the way, our family's life will become more and more prosperous. "

"Sister-in-law's words are good, our old lady is a lucky one at first glance, with her in the family, the days are naturally better.

Our family has gone through all kinds of hardships and hardships. Today's life is getting more and more prosperous, and I believe that the future will be better and better. "

Meng's mother and Meng Yining also said their blessings. Driven by the old lady, the family happily began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The women in the family didn't drink alcohol, and Yue Wenxuan and Yue Jiashi had never drunk alcohol before, so Yue Wenxuan was not prepared.

Although life is better now, no one will forget that nightmarish fleeing experience. Everyone cherishes the happy life now.

This is true of the Yue family, and the same is true of the Meng family.

It is precisely because there has been confusion and despair, and everyone will cherish it more after having hope.

The firecrackers sounded very early on the first day of the new year, and firecrackers sounded at 04:30.

At five o'clock, a few naughty boys set off a string of firecrackers in the yard, and then went into the house to kowtow to the elders in the family to pay New Year's greetings.

Yue Wenxuan was the first to kowtow, and the old lady, Meng's mother, and sister-in-law couldn't be left behind.

After he finished kowtowing, Meng Xuchuan followed, and then Yue Jiashi and others.

After kowtowing, the old lady happily took out banknotes to share the lucky money with everyone.

Although everyone has only one yuan of New Year's money, everyone is very happy with banknotes in their hands.

Although Yue Wenxuan was young, he was the man with the highest seniority in his family. Including Yue Jiashi and Meng Xuchuan, all the brats in the family had to kowtow to him.

Yue Wenxuan was very generous. He distributed 20 yuan of New Year's money to everyone, whether it was a boy or a girl, everyone had it, but it made everyone happy.

After kowtowing, the family sat around the table and started eating dumplings.

According to the customs of my hometown, there is a copper coin in the dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year. Whoever can eat it means that this year's wealth will be prosperous and auspicious.

In order to eat this copper coin, the children ate so fast that they were still eating when they were full.

Yue Jiashi didn't argue with his younger brothers, and ate in a leisurely manner, but this copper coin happened to slip into his mouth.

He spat out the copper coins in his mouth and said happily: "I have eaten it."

"It seems that the most blessed person this year should be Jiashi.

Don't lose this copper coin, just put it in your pocket, and it's best to keep it with you all the time. "The old lady exhorted.

The copper coins were eaten by Yue Jiashi, and the children lost their motivation to continue eating and put down their chopsticks.

The family had just finished eating when the men from Lao Luo's family next door came to pay New Year's greetings.

Everyone here is sincere, and they really kowtow when they come to pay New Year's greetings. Even Luo Kaiyin gave the old lady a real kowtow.

Yue Wenxuan took out a pack of cigarettes and divided them among the Luo family father and son. The old lady also brought out a basket filled with melon seeds and candies for the younger children to share.

After sitting for a while, Luo's father and son said goodbye and left.

After sending the guests away, Yue Wenxuan also took the boys in the family to visit several neighbors' houses.

After all, his thinking is different from that of people in this era. He can kowtow to the elders of his family willingly, but he can't bend down to kowtow to others.

Fortunately, the neighbors were very polite. As soon as Yue Wenxuan gave in, he quickly grabbed his hand. Yue Wenxuan himself did not kowtow, but he would not stop a few children from kowtowing to the elders.

Several acquainted neighbors turned down, and when they returned home, the sky was already dark.

Next is the play time that the children are most looking forward to. Everyone grabs a handful of firecrackers, goes out of the house, and gathers together in small groups, not to mention how happy they are.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the old lady began to discuss the marriage between Luo Yue Wenxuan and Meng Yining.

After discussing with Meng's mother, the marriage was set on the sixth day of the second lunar month.

Considering that after this summer and autumn, we have to go to Chang'an, it is not suitable to buy too many things.Otherwise, if you can't take it away, you have to deal with it cheaply, which is a waste of money.

I don't buy furniture and bedding, but I have to buy two clothes anyway.

Before getting married, on Sunday, Yue Wenxuan took his fiancee to the busiest central commercial street.

After all, it is a small county, even the most prosperous central commercial street in the area looks a little deserted.

The shops on both sides of the street are bungalows, and the area is not large, and there are not many pedestrians on the street, and everyone is in a hurry, with a touch of sadness on their faces.

Meng Yining has experienced hard times. Some time ago, she was precarious, and she couldn't even feed the whole family. Although the life was better during this period, the past suffering experience was forever imprinted in her heart.

This experience shaped her the virtue of frugality. The two of them walked half a street, and Yue Wenxuan didn't spend a single coin.

In the end, under Yue Wenxuan's strong request, the two bought a suit of ready-made clothes in a tailor shop.

Yue Wenxuan's original plan was to buy two suits for each person, but Meng Yining felt that buying ready-made clothes was too wasteful, so he was only willing to buy one suit.

For the other suit, Meng Yining decided to go to Wei Tailor to order it. The style may not be as novel and fashionable as the clothes in the tailor shop, but it is right to save money.

Of course, Yue Wenxuan would not object, and the two continued to walk forward. At his suggestion, they each added a pair of leather shoes. Meng Yining was afraid that he would spend more money, so he refused to continue shopping.

On the way back, Yue Wenxuan bought a few more snacks, this time Meng Yining did not object.Instead, according to the taste of the old lady, Yue Wenxuan asked Yue Wenxuan to buy a few more to take home.

Walking into the alley, Yue Wenxuan freed up a hand and gently held Meng Yining's hand.

Meng Yining's hands were slender and soft, but a little cold.

Yue Wenxuan turned his head to look at Meng Yining. Meng Yining didn't dare to look at him at all. He lowered his head. His fair face was stained with red at some point.

The innocent and shy young girl who lowered her head, for an LSP like Yue Wenxuan, is as lethal as a nuclear bomb.

The hand holding Meng Yining was slightly tighter, Yue Wenxuan's heart was burning, and he wished he could enter the bridal chamber tonight.

The two walked through this alley without saying a word. Although they didn't have a word of love, the happiness and sweetness in their hearts was worth a thousand words.

Just holding hands like this, they walked into Qingniu Lane unknowingly, and a neighbor on the opposite side was walking towards this side, Meng Yining quickly raised his hand, but did not break free.

As usual, Yue Wenxuan greeted the neighbor walking across the street, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

Meng Yining's face turned red with embarrassment, he lowered his head tightly, and almost found a crack in the ground to get in.

Yue Wenxuan shook Meng Yining's arm, "It's already gone far."

"When there are people, can you let go of my hand, and what will you look like when people see you?" Meng Yining scolded.

"His eyesight is bad, I knew it a long time ago. When I get to the door, I will definitely let go." Yue Wenxuan found an excuse indiscriminately.

Meng Yining believed it was true, and her nervous mood immediately relaxed.

Walking to the door, without waiting for Meng Yining to speak, Yue Wenxuan took the initiative to let go.

Before the wedding day came, there were many similar ambiguous affairs, but they were limited to this.

Although Meng Yining is a modern-educated intellectual woman in this era, compared with ordinary people, she is very open-minded, but in terms of love, she is not substantially different from ordinary women in this era.

Yue Wenxuan's actions are considered very bold in this era, and the touch he brought to Meng Yining has repeatedly refreshed her cognition.

Meng Yining experienced the taste of love for the first time in his life.

This taste is really fascinating!
After the Chinese New Year, time seemed to speed up a lot all of a sudden, and it was finally the wedding day amidst the busy schedule.

Being out of town and unaccompanied, the wedding of the two of course had to be kept simple.

In order not to leave any regrets, Yue Wenxuan still prepared four tables of banquets to entertain his acquainted neighbors and colleagues.

Because of the special circumstances of the two families, the wedding ceremony was not held in full accordance with local customs, omitting some unnecessary links.

But the link of worship and marriage is definitely indispensable.

This was also the most important ceremony in the whole wedding ceremony. After the worship, Meng Yining was sent to the bridal chamber, and the banquet officially began.
