Chapter 36 Chinese New Year
Time flies and it is New Year's Eve.

Lin Hao and Ran Qiuye are back from the Ran family’s reunion!
When I walked to the gate of the compound, I happened to meet Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, who were standing at the gate pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui's Spring Festival couplets and exclaimed:
"Uncle, your handwriting is really good! The more I read it, the more I like it!"

Yan Bugui said complacently: "The handwriting reflects the person, the writing reflects the person, as the saying goes in the past, if you only see the handwriting without seeing the person, you can know 80% of the person!"

"Uncle, I have to say your handwriting is neat and straight, with rich ink. It's really well written!" Lin Hao, who walked to the door, said with praise.

"Hey~ You two are back!" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Yes, uncle, we went back home!" Ran Qiuye said.

"You brought so many things!" Yan Bugui said enviously as he looked at the things in the car.

Lin Hao knew what kind of personality he had, so he picked up an apple, handed it to Yan Bugui, and said:

"Come, Uncle Three, have an apple, and have a peaceful new year!"

"Wow~ This thing is so precious!"

Yan Bugui was a little hesitant. Nowadays, Apple is a luxury item, especially during the Chinese New Year. He wanted to take one, but felt a little embarrassed!
After all, Ran Qiuye and Yan Bugui were in the same school, and she had some understanding of his character. Naturally, she saw what he was thinking, and said:
"Teacher Yan, just take it, we still have more!"

After hearing Ran Qiuye speak, Yan Bugui took over directly without hesitation!
"Uncle, give you one too, just try it!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "I don't need it. I don't need it, you know!"

"Okay, yours is the best in this yard!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up!
After all, Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level worker in the factory, earning more than 90 yuan a month, so he doesn't have to worry about these things as long as he wants to eat!
At this time, Xu Damao was riding a bicycle, carrying various agricultural and sideline products in front and back, and he walked to the door and saw several people!
So he said, "Uncle One, Uncle Three, Happy New Year!"

When Yan Bugui saw Xu Damao and realized that he had a lot of things in the car, a happy smile appeared on his face. This meant he could make some money again!
Yi Zhonghai slowly put away the smile on his face, and his expression looked neither sad nor happy!
Afterwards, Xu Damao said to Lin Hao enthusiastically:
"Isn't this Lin Hao? I heard you got married as soon as I came back!"

"Yes, it happened in the past two days!" Lin Hao said.
Lin Hao didn't have much contact with Xu Damao, so he didn't have much good or bad feelings towards him. Combining his memory, he probably had the impression that 'he was a bad guy'!
But, what does it mean that your eyes, Xu Damao, always look at my wife?
Lin Hao's impression of Xu Damao instantly lowered!
Xu Damao said, "What a coincidence! I was in the countryside showing movies these past two days and missed your wedding. This must be my sister-in-law. She's so pretty!"

Lin Hao said unhappily: "You don't have to be envious, don't you have one in your family, a rich lady?"

"That's different!" When talking about Lou Xiaoe, Xu Damao smiled on the surface, but he was actually jealous on the inside!
Lin Hao said: "Okay, you guys chat, I'll go back first!"

Then something came to mind: "By the way, Third Master, your calligraphy is good. Please help me write a couplet later!"

"Okay, no problem, just give me some writing fee!" Yan Bugui said happily.

Then Yan Bugui turned around and asked with a smile on his face: "Da Mao, you have been busy these days!"

"We show movies to people every day!" said Xu Damao.

"We must have gained a lot this time!" Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao with shining eyes!
"Look at what you said!" Xu Damao understood Yan Bugui's thoughts!
Although he was not happy about it, he had to take out a bunch of mushrooms from his pocket and said in a generous manner:
"Here, Uncle San, these are some mountain products given by my fellow villagers. Please accept them!"

Then he took out another string and handed it to Yi Zhonghai, saying:

"Uncle, come and have one too!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "No, I don't want it!"

When rejecting someone, he was smiling when talking to Lin Hao and his wife, but he was indifferent to Xu Damao, as if he was keeping him at a distance!
One can imagine how Yi Zhonghai feels about Xu Damao!
Yan Bugui said doubtfully: "Hey! By the way, Damao, why do I feel that you are so polite to Lin Hao? You two didn't have any friendship before!"

"Uncle, you don't know yet?" Xu Damao said.

"What do you know?" Yan Bugui was even more confused.

Xu Damao became excited when he talked about this:
"Lin Hao is very capable. When I came back, my boss told me that he had contacted our factory for a batch of pork that was not planned!"

"So, this year, everyone in our factory was given half a pound of meat. Even the uncle knows about this!"

Yi Zhonghai also said: "Yes, that's right, there are more than 30 live pigs!"

Yan Bugui was a little stunned: "Oh! So the meat distributed by your factory was bought by Lin Hao! I didn't know he had this ability!"

"That's not the case!"

Xu Damao didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Yan Bugui, so he said:

"Okay, I'll go in first!"

"Okay, come in quickly!" As he said that, Yan Bugui helped Xu Damao to hold the bicycle.

Lin Hao and Ran Qiuye returned home and put away the various items they brought back.

Ran Qiuye asked curiously, "You said that several families would make dumplings together in the evening, so why are they at Qin Huairu's house? Didn't you say that Master He's house is the largest?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said:
"This is because the uncle wants to take care of Qin Huairu's family. These families are celebrating the New Year together. If there are any leftovers, they will be left to the family that hosted it!"

"If you go to Shazhu's house again, the rest will belong to Shazhu, although it will be given to Qin Huairu in the end." "But it's New Year's Day, and you'll feel uncomfortable taking other people's leftovers, right!"

Ran Qiuye felt that it was not good for Lin Hao to keep calling others by nicknames, so she said:
"Didn't I tell you not to call Master He 'Silly Zhu'? That's so disrespectful!"

Lin Hao said nonchalantly: "Hey! We've been calling it that for so many years, we're used to it! We'll slowly change it in the future, slowly change it!"

Seeing Ran Qiuye's unfriendly look, Lin Hao stepped forward, looked into Ran Qiuye's watery eyes, and said:

"Qiuye, look into my eyes, what's in them!"

Ran Qiuye looked carefully and asked in confusion: "What is it?"

"You are the only one in my eyes!" Lin Hao said seriously.

Hmm~! Ran Qiuye hugged Lin Hao.

Ran Qiuye felt sweet in her heart at Lin Hao's sudden love words, so she said:

"Where did you hear such a thing?"

Lin Hao said gently in Ran Qiuye's ear:

"It came from the heart that loves you!"

At this moment, Ran Qiuye looked at Lin Hao with her beautiful eyes, her eyes filled with deep love.

Then Lin Hao said seriously: "But then again, it's better for Qin Huairu's family to stay away from it!"

Ran Qiuye asked doubtfully: "Why?"

Then Lin Hao told Ran Qiuye everything about Qin Huairu's family and Sha Zhu!
Ran Qiuye said in disbelief:

"This is too much!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Hao said, "Okay, you'll know after we get along for a while. Let's go to Qin Huairu's house first and help make dumplings!"

As they spoke, the two of them brought a pound of meat and came to Qin Huairu's house.

When Qin Huairu saw the two people coming, she said:

"Teacher Ran is here, hurry up and get ready in the room, we haven't started making dumplings yet!"

Ran Qiuye said:
"Mother Jia Geng, Lin Hao and I are here to help make dumplings!"

Lin Hao handed over the meat in his hand and said, "Sister Qin, take it!"

Jia Zhang looked at Lin Hao carrying a pound of meat and said quickly:
"It's so lively in our house today! Come on, everyone, take a seat. Bang Geng, hurry up and call someone!"

Banggeng was extremely conflicted at this moment. Living in the same yard with his head teacher gave him a headache just thinking about it!
I originally wanted to call him "Uncle Mouse", but since he and Teacher Ran are married, I had no choice but to call him:

"Hello Uncle Lin, hello Teacher Ran!"

At the same time, Xiaodang and Huaihua shouted:

"Hello Uncle Lin, hello Teacher Ran!"

Lin Hao took out three cents from his pocket and said:
"Come here, use this thirty cents to buy some cannons!"

When the three children heard that they had money to buy firecrackers, they immediately said complimentary words:
"Thank you, Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin, you are such a good person! Uncle Lin, I like you so much!"

Qin Huairu said: "Lin Hao, don't spoil the child!"

Lin Hao said: "It's okay, it's New Year! Let the children be happy!"

Otherwise, give him a child quickly! Ran Qiuye saw that Lin Hao liked children so much, and thought about future plans.

Everyone started kneading dough and chopping stuffing while chatting and laughing.

After a while, before they started making dumplings, Sha Zhu came in carrying the old lady on his back.

When Sha Zhu saw Lin Hao and Ran Qiuye arrived at Qin Huairu's house in advance, he said:
"You guys came quite early!"

Lin Hao replied: "If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking!"

Sha Zhu said, "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. You guys make dumplings and I'll cook some dishes for you!"

Go for it! Go for it!
