Chapter 38: Chinese New Year's Eve (2)
The sound of firecrackers in the early morning woke up the sleeping tranquility, she rubbed her eyes, lifted the covered quilt and prepared to get up.
With the sound of firecrackers in the morning, the footsteps of the new year have already sounded.
Today's New Year's Day so the supermarket does not work, normally in the second day of the new year, colleagues are discussing that the supermarket chooses the first day of the new year holiday, is it afraid of the New Year's red envelope?
Ning Ning washed up and sat on the sofa again, Han Bin looked at her, as if she hadn't woken up yet, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, are you sober?" replied Tranquility quickly.
He looked at her still sleepy and hazy, and continued: "Why don't you sleep for a while and don't go to work today!"
She spread her hands helplessly and said, "Look at the sound of firecrackers outside, can you still fall asleep?"
Outside, the cold wind was like a small beast, crashing on the depressed earth, and only the cheers of firecrackers were heard.
Tranquility is thinking about what are the parents at home doing at this moment?
Are you busy making rice balls and making rice balls?
The custom in my hometown is that every year on the morning of the first day of the new year, every family has to make rice balls, and they all want to rush early.
There is also a saying that people get up early to grab the first drop of water from the well, and some people will deliberately get up on the morning of the first day of the new year to go to the well to fetch water to make glutinous rice balls.
These are the things that Tranquility used to do when she was a child.
Looking back, although decades have passed, that beautiful memory feels very familiar, as if it was just yesterday.
The footsteps of time always flow inadvertently, and the years that have passed quietly have left too many reluctance and memories for each of us.
There is too much helplessness, too much brilliance, and too many regrets.
The ruthless years, like the surging waves, throw the beautiful memories out of the clouds, the more you miss, the farther and farther she is away from you, so that you can't find the year.
The sun and the moon are reincarnated, time flies, and when I was a child, I always wanted to leave the spring behind, so I wanted to celebrate the New Year every day.
Just when her thoughts were fluttering, Han Bin shook a red envelope in front of her, and said with a smile: "Do you want a red envelope?"
"Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope" Tranquility said to her mischievously.
"Really good, then this red envelope will be given to you"
He sunburned the red envelope into Tranquility's hand and winked at her.
"I've got it for you too," Tranquility took out the red envelope that had been prepared from her bag as she spoke.
She shook in front of Han Bin, "Hurry up and say Wishing you prosperity to me"
Han Bin smiled, "Wishing you prosperity, take the red envelope, don't take the red envelope, and make it a panda." I don't know where he learned such a funny thing.
He took the quiet red envelope and said with great emotion: "I didn't expect that my Han Bin's first red envelope in 2007 was actually given by you." ”
"Why don't I give you a few more," Tranquility said mischievously.
"Before I went to college, I had endless red envelopes and endless New Year's money every Chinese New Year. He seemed to be a little affectionate.
"Why don't you go home for the New Year?" asked Tranquility, looking at him.
"Let's not talk about that, let's make dumplings and eat them! Will you do them?" he seemed to deliberately avoid the topic.
"Is there anything I can't do, no, I can learn. ”
He boiled water on the induction cooker, and she took the rice ball noodles she bought in the supermarket yesterday, and was seriously making the rice balls.
She likes to fill the dumplings with brown sugar, sweet taste, like the beginning of the new year, meaning sweet and sweet all year round.
"Wow, I got that dumpling with a bag of coins. Like a three-year-old who gets a lollipop, he laughs and shows off in front of Serenity.
In fact, he didn't know that the tangyuan Ning Ning had already made a mark when he was making it, and deliberately propped it up in his bowl.
Life is always for the sake of others and for yourself.
