Chapter 425 Chinese New Year (

Yan Ming still has a grandson to accompany him, so at least they can be reunited on New Year’s Eve, but Zhao Yixiong’s family is shrouded in gloom. The domestic servants prepare meals according to New Year’s Eve customs. There were no smiles on the faces of the old man, the old lady, the madam and Miss Zhao. They sacrificed their ancestors hastily and left the domestic servants to celebrate the festival by themselves. The old and the young sat at the dinner table and were speechless.

Zhao Tachiya didn't know what the meal was. It had no taste at all and just filled his stomach. When he sat down to watch the news after the meal, he saw the laughter and laughter everywhere on the TV. Compared with the lonely appearance of his own house, he felt depressed and uncomfortable. He stopped watching the program and went back to his room with a cold face.

The old man was in a very bad mood, and Mrs. Zhao was not doing well either. Thinking that her son and grandson were still in the detention center, she left dejectedly.

Guo Furong has been trembling. She didn’t dare to breathe until her parents-in-law left, and she didn’t dare to stay in the hall, lest her parents-in-law say that she was not worried about her husband and son, and she and her daughter went back to their rooms.

The Zhao family’s New Year’s Eve was worse than the ordinary days before.

The Zhao family’s unhappiness had nothing to do with anyone else. There were lights and colorful decorations inside and outside the capital, and various programs were in full swing. The whole country was immersed in the festival. In the festive celebrations, all ethnic groups sing and dance to celebrate the New Year together.

There are lion dances and other activities in big cities. There are no such activities in the countryside, but they also have their own traditional New Year flavors. Every household eats at around five o'clock. New Year's Eve dinner.

The villagers of Meizijing Village have New Year's Eve dinner very early every year. Some families can visit each other after the New Year's dinner, and then go back to watch the New Year's Eve.

The family was also busy with the New Year's Eve dinner early. After lunch, they started preparing, steaming what should be steamed, stewing what should be stewed, brazing what should be braised, and making various custom dishes.

Le's dad and Zhou Qiufeng cooked Le Yun is responsible for making traditional dishes by herself. She makes lobster, shellfish, and isinglass first, and then sea cucumbers, crabs, and shark fins. Except for crabs, there are three to five portions of everything else. She eats one portion in the evening, and some are packaged and sealed. , just open it and heat it up when you eat it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, otherwise it would be too troublesome to make it temporarily every time.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, we also have to worship ancestors and gods, and also To receive the Kitchen God from the earth, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng prepares traditional dishes, puts them on the table to worship the God, receives the Kitchen God, and worships the ancestors. It takes at least half an hour to go through the series of steps.

Firecrackers are set off during the New Year in the countryside, and firecrackers are set off to worship gods. The sound can be heard from far and near, and the atmosphere of the New Year is also particularly strong.

You can have New Year’s Eve dinner at any time after worshiping ancestors.

The Le family did not eat first, but first packed up the supplies, cleaned the eaves and main room, fed the pigs, waited for the chickens and ducks to come back to feed, and closed the backyard door.

Everything is in order, the family People serve food, use hot pot as the base, put a stand in the pot to put the dishes on the plate, and change what you want to eat.

Le dad Zhou Qiufeng ate some traditional dishes first, then the seafood cooked by the girl, and sea cucumbers first, which tasted very good. The couple were not afraid of the little cotton-padded jackets making fun of their ignorance, and they enjoyed the meal very well.

After eating a small plate of sea cucumbers, they switched to crabs. Because crabs are cold in nature, Le Yun did not allow her father and Aunt Feng to eat more, and only gave each of them a small piece to taste. A couple said: "... …"Such a delicious delicacy, but you are only allowed to taste a little bit. The little cotton-padded jacket is cheating your father and mother.

Le dad Zhou Qiufeng, who still felt unsatisfied, stared straight at his girl taking away the plate, feeling melancholy in her heart. The girl must have done it on purpose, deliberately letting them taste it, and then not Give it to them and let them drool while watching it.

After scattering the crabs, Le Yun brought the isinglass to the pot and let her father and Aunt Feng eat slowly while she held the bowl and gnawed the crabs.

Le dad Zhou Qiufeng, who was cheated by the girl, turned his eyes away from the crabs and tasted the third seafood dish. After taking a bite, he immediately forgot about his small resentment about not being able to eat crabs. Outside the clouds, the couple didn't even save the fish soup, so they divided it up. The fourth seafood dish was fried scallops with green peppers. It was fresh but not fishy, ​​crisp and tough but not chewy, and so delicious that it made people want to swallow it.

After eating four seafood dishes, I was 80% full. I also ate some vegetables and traditional side dishes, and I was 90% full. I also had a very happy New Year's Eve dinner.

After the meal, you wash your hands, face and feet, then serve fruits and melon seeds, smack the home-produced melon seeds, and watch the New Year happily.

During the Chinese New Year, children all get red envelopes from adults. Le’s father, Zhou Qiufeng, has not forgotten that incident. He also brought red envelopes when he served melon seeds to the table, and each person gave the girl a big envelope.

"Wow, there are two red envelopes this year. Having a father and a mother means happiness." Holding two thick red envelopes, Le Yun was overjoyed. She opened them anxiously and found the first one. One, count: "Wow, nine hundred and nine!" Open another one, count: "Wow, it's nine hundred and nine again."

The little cotton-padded jacket smiled so hard while holding the red envelope Out of sight, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng couldn't help but laugh. Look at the girl, she has tens of millions and precious stones, but it's as if she has never seen money before. Who are you trying to deceive?

"Look how happy you are, such a small amount of money is not worth a drop of your net worth." Dad Le is not afraid of making the girl cry and hitting her.

"That's different. It was given by my father and my new mother. It's very meaningful." Le Yun held the red envelope and said: "Humph, there is a father who is jealous that his girl has a red envelope but he doesn't. , I’m so jealous that such an old man still envies his girl’s future.”

“I can’t even envy you? The little cotton-padded jacket has grown up and has become overbearing and unreasonable.” Le’s father touched his nose and accused the child. He's so overbearing that it's unreasonable.

　“I willDomineering, who calls me your girl? I have to hide the red envelope so that no one will be jealous. "Le Yun raised her head in joy, held a red envelope in one hand, jumped up happily, and sent the red envelope back to the bedroom for collection.

"I didn't even show it to you, this is still my little cotton-padded jacket. What? "The child grabbed the red envelope and ran away, and Le's father pretended to be sad.

Zhou Qiufeng looked at Le. The father and daughter bickered every day, and they had a lot of fun.

Leaving the old man behind Dad's Leyun rushed back to the bedroom, put away the red envelope, took out the red envelope she had prepared earlier, jumped into the kitchen with it, and gave the red envelope to the elder: "Dad, I'm giving you a red envelope. You don't want it." I’m jealous of your girl’s red envelope. Aunt Feng, good luck and good fortune. This belongs to my younger brother. Aunt Feng is helping to keep it. Don't give it to dad. Dad may be jealous of his son and want to hide the red envelope. "

Le's father Zhou Qiufeng was dumbfounded as she held the red envelope stuffed by her child. It was not a red envelope, it was clearly a red brick!

Zhou Qiufeng was quick and folded the red paper to see , I can’t help but be stunned again when I look at it, it’s ten bundles! It looks like it’s ten thousand bundles withdrawn from the bank, ten bundles is one hundred thousand!

“This..., Lele, This is too much. "She slowly folded the red paper as it was. Judging by the thickness of the red envelope, Yueqing's was as thick as hers and should be of the same amount. The red envelope for the unborn baby was slightly thinner and was estimated to be tens of thousands.

“Lele, keep the money, your Aunt Feng and I will make enough money. "Le's father was excited and sad. He gave the little cotton-padded jacket such a thick red envelope because he was afraid that they would have no money to use, so he gave the money to them in this way.

"What's yours is yours, I respect it. Yours is another matter. You won't accept it. I'll go to the bank to make a transfer in a few days. Anyway, I know the deposit and withdrawal number at home. "

"You little bastard, when did you peek at your bankbook? "Le's father glared. He is obviously a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but why sometimes he always makes people feel distressed one second and makes them want to fall out the next second.

"When I was in junior high school, you took me with you. I went to withdraw money and I checked the passbook account number. "

"I watched it once in junior high school and still remember it now? "What is good memory?

"Of course, your sweet little cotton-padded jacket has an extraordinary memory, almost a photographic memory, so if you set passwords, don't let others see it. I can't help but keep it in my mind that one day you make your girl angry, I will steal your bankbook, take all your money, and change your mobile phone password so that you can't unlock it yourself. "

Zhou Qiufeng couldn't stop laughing. Dad Le stared at the child who was openly threatening him. He held it in for a minute before squeezing his neck and said: "...It's terrible, are you still reasonable? ”

“I amIt makes sense. It's not my fault that I made all the mistakes. I am my parents' caring little cotton-padded jacket. How could I be wrong? "

The girl was so proud that her little tail almost went up to the sky. Dad Le immediately lost the battle: "Little cotton-padded jacket, you won again! "

"Brother Le, you have never lost in a fight with Lele. It is not embarrassing to lose to your own girl. "Zhou Qiufeng poured cold water on her own man.

"Honey, I feel bad when I lose. Please don't add insult to injury. "Le's father begged for his wife pitifully.

"Okay, bring me the red envelope. ”

　“Here. "Le's father handed the red envelope to the housekeeper without hesitation.

"For the sake of your sense of humor, I will try my best not to reveal your secrets tomorrow, so as not to hurt your glassy heart. . "Zhou Qiufeng carried three bricks and sent them to the room for collection.

Le's father rubbed the back of his head naively. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. He won't visit relatives or pay New Year greetings. There are no guests at home. It's okay if he doesn't give face. Please give me face when there are guests.

Dad suddenly changed into a strict wife control rhythm. Le Yun laughed so hard that her face cramped. She was afraid that her laughter would damage her father's image of a great and loving father, so she went out to move the table. Get a few tools and prepare to make dumplings.

Set up the tools, use the coffee table as a surface to knead the dough, roll out the dough, and make dumplings.

Zhou Qiufeng collected the red envelopes and came back to enjoy Dad helped, and they were responsible for stuffing stuffing and putting on the steamer. The couple couldn't match the girl's speed in rolling out the dough. Zhou Qiufeng blushed secretly. She used to be a famous fast player, but now she was surpassed by her own girl. This is Yangtze River The back wave rushed against the front wave. They were all pushed by the girl's back wave and fell on the beach.

Le's father said he was very calm. He had already seen the speed of the little cotton-padded jacket when doing work. Besides being proud, he was still proud. This fine lady is his girl, she has so much face.

During the Chinese New Year, one must stay up past twelve o’clock to welcome the arrival of a new day.

Throughout the country, in cities and villages, People watching the New Year's Eve watch the show while waiting for the midnight, the motherland is dancing with fireworks, and the whole world is celebrating.

When it is at the end of twelve o'clock, countless people bring out the fireworks and set them up, silently counting the countdown, and when the clock At the last second of 15 years, the whole country welcomes the New Year.
