Chapter 17: The Spring Festival (I)

The day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Jiawan was already lively.

The brothers and sisters of each family returned to their hometowns to reunite and wander around the village, where someone was busy, not as deserted as usual.

After all, the Spring Festival is one of the most solemn traditional Chinese festivals.

The custom of Lin Jiawan is to drink soup on the 29th night and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at 6 o'clock in the morning on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The so-called soup is stewed chicken soup, duck soup, lotus root soup, pork rib soup, you can drink whatever you want, as early as the afternoon of the 29th, all of them have been stewed.

The Timberwolves are no exception.

Lin Nan's uncle, three aunts, and Lin Wolf's family all returned.

The only misfortune is that neither of the two is alive.

But this does not affect the unity and intimacy of the Lin family, it is very coincidental that the New Year customs of the three aunts who married out are different from here, and the reunion dinner is all eaten on the twenty-eighth, so every year on the twenty-ninth and the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve are spent in Linjiawan.

Five couples, six children, a large family of sixteen people gathered in this old house, it did not seem crowded.

The five women were all in and out of the living room and the kitchen, preparing dinner, the five men were chatting and talking about work under the big tree outside the gate, and the six children were running around and running around.

Lin Wolf is the second oldest in the family, but Lin Nan is the fourth oldest among the juniors, only the second aunt and the children of the little aunt are younger than him.

Lin Nan's eldest uncle, Lin Hu, is in the clothing business in Lingnan City with his aunt, and his son Lin Yang and daughter Lin Meng are all in the second year of high school in Qingshui No. 1 Middle School, with excellent grades.

The eldest aunt, Lin Hedi, also works and lives in Lingnan City, working in a state-owned factory, and her daughter Jiang Hong is in her first year of high school in Lingnan No. 1 Middle School, and her grades are even better.

The second aunt, Lin Chundi, lives in Qingshan Town, next to Linjiawan, and her son Qiu Xiaoman, who is in the first year of junior high school in Qingshan Middle School, has average grades. For this reason, Ye Xinlan used to always say that his grades were not good, so he learned from Lin Nan, looking at the three brothers and sisters, how good the grades should be, and asked Lin Nan to study hard and set an example for his younger brother.

The little aunt, Lin Zhendi, lives in Luoshan City, which is adjacent to Lingnan City, and her daughter Cheng Doudou is still in the third grade of primary school there.

At seven o'clock in the evening, a large disc was spread on the square table in the living room, covered with a tablecloth, and sixteen people could sit around.

It's a bit crowded, but it's even more lively.

Chicken, duck, fish, bok choy, various soups...... One after the other served the round table.

The two brothers, Lin Hu and Lin Wolf, sat at the top, and the others sat casually.

Sitting on the upper seat, drinking with Lin Hu while eating, sweeping through this perfect family, Lin Wolf couldn't help but fall into memories.

In the previous life, it seemed that Lin Nan and Qiu Xiaoman were the two children who were worried, and the other children studied hard and worked hard, and nothing major happened at home.

Seeing that Lin Nan was eating fish and drinking soup, his confident and energetic face was completely different from the past, Lin Wolf was very relieved that this month's efforts were not in vain.

looked at Qiu Xiaoman sitting next to him, holding an unknown mobile phone in his hand, with his head down, playing with relish, and not eating.

From his name, it seems that the mentality of his parents can be seen, Xiaoman, small satisfaction, naturally not as strict with his studies as several other families.

If it was in the past, Lin Nan would definitely be with him, and the two of them had a lot of fun.

Now, Lin Nan is like that for games, and at the moment in his heart, in addition to learning, basketball is basketball.

Once again, Lin Wolf not only has to teach an excellent Lin Nan, but also has an education plan in mind for all children in Huaxia and even the world, and Qiu Xiaoman, as a junior, naturally wants to help him.

It's just that the wolf is thinking, should he get on the right track of learning, or will he walk better on the road of his previous life?

Qiu Xiaoman, who studied in Qingshui No. 3 Middle School in his previous life, was like a wild horse off the lean as soon as he arrived in high school, skipping classes every day, including nights every day, the Internet café was his home, and the game was his whole world.

In the era of mobile game fire, he seized the opportunity to build a team, and successfully developed a mobile game that caters to the market with many years of game experience, making a small profit and gaining a firm foothold in the mobile game market.

At that time, Qiu Xiaoman was already a young man in his thirties, and Lin Wolf remembered that he once said to himself, "Uncle, the biggest regret in my life is that I didn't study hard when I was in school. ”

At this moment, Lin Wolf looked at the junior holding his mobile phone, and said to him silently in his heart: "In this life, I will give you the opportunity to learn computer well, and this day will not be too far away." ”

The other juniors are not too prepared to interfere too much, not everyone will regret their lives, and it does not mean that a gorgeous life is more meaningful.

The lively soup reunion dinner was eaten for about half an hour, the red envelopes were at the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow morning, and the Spring Festival Gala was also tomorrow night.

So the meal was eaten quickly.

After eating, the adults were also very generous to let the children clean up the table, wash the dishes and chopsticks, wipe the table for 20 yuan, mop the floor for 20 yuan, and wash the dishes for 20 yuan, and these cleaning tasks were quickly divided by the 6 children.

After completion, Ye Xinlan went to check it, and the quality was not bad, so she immediately took out the labor fee.

After the children put the money in their pockets, they all went to the room with the TV, and one person moved a chair to sit and watch TV, and the TV was a daily entertainment activity before the smartphone arrived, and the scene of one person holding a mobile phone had not yet appeared.

Adults are playing cards, playing cards, and each has its own business.

And so the night passed.

Chinese New Year's Eve, 5:30 a.m.

The adults had already gotten out of bed to get ready for dinner, while the children were still in bed.

When Lin Nan was woken up by the huge spring thunder, got dressed in a daze, and walked to the living room, it was almost seven o'clock.

I saw that Lin Hu and Lin Wolf were burning paper money in the living room to pay tribute to their grandparents.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan hurriedly ran over, knelt down and kowtowed in front of the fire, this is the custom of Lin Jiawan, and every year is no exception.

Pray that our ancestors will bless future generations with peace and good health.

After everyone kowtowed, the fire was almost burned out, and everyone was seated to start the most important reunion dinner of the Spring Festival.

Same seat as last night.

The difference is that today we have to wait for the children to finish toasting before starting the meal.

In the past, Lin Yang took the lead in setting an example, because the rest of the juniors couldn't let go of it and twisted and pinched.

But this time, before Lin Yang could organize the wording, Lin Nan had already stood up from his seat, picked up a glass of ginger cola, and said honorifics to the elders in turn.

"I wish my aunt and uncle good health and prosperous business!"

"I wish my aunt and uncle all the best in their work and peace and security!"

"I wish the second aunt and uncle happiness and a harmonious life!"

"I wish my aunt and uncle a happy family and a progressive career!"

"Finally, I also wish my parents to be young forever, handsome and beautiful!"

A series of immature but confident words made the elders a little surprised.

When did Lin Nan become so generous?

Lin Hu laughed loudly and said, "Nan Nan, you're a little unfair! Why are our honorifics very formulaic, but your parents' are so special?"

Lin Nan quickly replied with a smile: "Because I thought of your honorifics in my head in advance, and my parents added them temporarily at the end." ”

"Hahaha, that's a good answer!"

Uncles, uncles and aunts were very satisfied with Lin Nan's answer, when did this kid become so generous and his head turned so fast?

With the beginning, the honorifics of the other children soon followed.

In order, Lin Yang, Lin Meng, Jiang Hong, Qiu Xiaoman, and Cheng Doudou.

It's basically by age.,But the honorifics are always those few words every year.,It's pretty much the same.。

The number of red envelopes is increasing year by year, which shows that everyone's career is developing and progressing.

After eating, the children once again took the task fee and completed the cleaning work after the meal cleanly.

Then Lin Yang and Lin Nan took out the drawer and put a brand new couplet, went to the left and right sides of the door and pasted it with transparent glue.

Shanglian: Happy to live in the treasure land for thousands of years,

Downlink: Fuzhao family door everything is prosperous.

Horizontal batch: Welcome the New Year.

This morning's mission is complete.

The six children immediately carried the red envelopes in their purses and went to the market to shop.

Toy guns, the three boys each bought one, ready to go back to the forest in the back mountain to hunt birds, although they buy it every Chinese New Year, but in the next year they will be nowhere to be found.

Lin Meng and Jiang Hong bought a beautiful little card and stuck it in their hair.

Cheng Doudou, who was still young, didn't buy anything, because the red envelope had already been handed over to his mother.

However, Lin Yang bought her a new schoolbag, Lin Nan bought her a stationery box, Lin Meng bought her a box of colored pens, Jiang Hong bought her a comic book, and Qiu Xiaoman bought her a box of big rolls.

The brothers and sisters love this youngest sister very much, and they are also very generous, but what she didn't expect was that her favorite was the sweet big roll for 3 yuan a piece......

In the end, they bought two large bags of fireworks and a few sugar cane, and the children called a numb car to send them back to the village.

When I got home, I saw my aunt and an adult, Ye Xinlan and a few aunts were still playing mahjong at someone else's house, and Lin Hu, Lin Wolf and a few uncles had gone fishing and had not yet returned.

During the Chinese New Year, the door at home could not be locked, and someone had to stay, so the children and the poor aunt who was alone at home took the initiative to help her make lunch together.

In fact, it is to heat the heat that is not eaten in the morning, and how can anyone have the appetite to eat those big fish and meat early in the morning, what they eat is just the atmosphere and solar terms.

Some of the aunts eat at other people's houses, and when the interest of fishing comes, they will forget the time, and the children and aunts simply ignore them, eat first, take a cover to cover the dishes after eating, and wait for them to come back and make their own food if they want to eat.

After eating, Lin Yang, Lin Nan and Qiu Xiaoman picked up the toy guns and walked to the jungle in the back mountain.
