"Oh, then I'll just write it, can the content be changed?" Gao Qiulin asked.

"Yes, as long as you think it's a Spring Festival couplet, don't let your relatives feel funny when they come to visit the house. Zeng Shuhua instructed.

"Got it. Gao Qiulin returned with a smile.

"If you think about it, write it down on paper first, and I'll take a look at it too. Mom, hurry up and foreskin it's going to be dark no matter how late it is. Gao Qiujin felt hungry.

"Okay, get it right away. Saying that, Zeng Shuhua went to the kitchen and noodles, because it was cold, she used some boiling water, so that the dough was softer, and the noodles were good, and she mixed the meat filling again, and then took it to the living room to make the skin.

"Although there is no father for the New Year this year, we also want to have a lively New Year. Zeng Shuhua looked at the two children while wrapping the skin and said, they couldn't be happy when they listened, Gao Linguang has been away for almost half a year, and the family has always been quite deserted, maybe they haven't come out of their sadness yet.

"You two be happy, your father must want us to be happy, and he will accept it tomorrow when he serves Chinese New Year's Eve." Zeng Shuhua looked at the sad faces of the two children, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Well, let's be happy, Qiulin, mom is even more sad. Gao Qiujin said sensibly. Gao Qiulin nodded.

After eating the skin, the sister and brother wrote the Spring Festival couplets, and finally pasted the places that should be posted at home before dark.

"Yo, after pasting the couplet, the whole yard looks festive. ”

Gao Qiulin stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked into the courtyard.

"Of course, if everyone likes to post couplets for the New Year, it's just for the sake of celebration. The aroma of the bone broth boiled by my mother has come out, and it must be delicious. Gao Qiujin looked at the kitchen door while cleaning the yard.

"It's delicious, and you can eat it in a while. Gao Qiulin said expectantly, and also looked towards the kitchen door.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. When it got dark, Zeng Shuhua finally came out with a steaming pot of bone broth. The two siblings, who were watching TV in the living room, immediately got up and went to eat.

On the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the mother and son ate a pot of bone broth, even in the cold winter

, such bone broth also makes people feel warm. Drinking bone broth during the Chinese New Year is also a traditional habit of people in Dingnan, and every household puts the boiled bone broth overnight, and waits for the next day, eating frozen bone broth, which feels like eating rice tofu, tender and elastic.

"Mom, have you boiled so much bone broth? Aren't we going to go to the countryside? We won't be able to finish eating and waste it then!" Gao Qiulin was stunned when he saw the bone broth in a large iron pot on the earthen stove in the kitchen.

"Why can't you finish eating, you can still eat when you come back, now this weather will not be bad for a week, I am too lazy to cook rice in the next few days, you can use this bone broth to make food, cook noodles, and soak rice." Zeng Shuhua said with a smile.

"You can also eat frozen bone broth directly, as rice tofu. Gao Qiujin added on the side.

"That's right, after eating in a while, you two go to bed early, tomorrow is the New Year, let's clean up the house together, and then make some delicious meals for the New Year." Zeng Shuhua watched the two children arrange.

"Got it. The two of them returned.

They went to bed early that night and waited for the next day's Chinese New Year's Eve.

The next day was the long-awaited Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the morning, Zeng Shuhua woke up the Gao Qiujin siblings.

"It's time to get up, let's get up, let's sweep the yard back and forth, and then level the soil in the vegetable garden, and I'll lay some seeds in a while, and the seedlings can be divided in spring." Zeng Shuhua instructed, the sister and brother had to get up, and the three of them cooperated to tidy up the yard, and they were busy for two hours before they could get it done.

"Mom, what kind of seeds did you plant?" asked Gao Qiujin as she stood outside the vegetable garden.

"It's tomatoes, eggplants, and pepper seeds, and now that they've been raised, they can be planted after the New Year. Zeng Shuhua squatted on the edge of the ground to sort out the fine soil, gently covered the seeds with a layer, and then poured some water.

"Okay, let's cook some noodles and eat them, you two are hungry too, right?" Zeng Shuhua hurriedly cooked noodles after finishing it. The three of them simply ate noodles, and Zeng Shuhua began to work again.

"Qiu Jin, you are responsible for washing our sheets and quilts, the ones that are not easy to wash in the first month, and the dirty clothes are also washed, and they are dried upstairs, Qiulin, you will sweep the house, and the upstairs will be swept too, I will concentrate on making delicious food for everyone, and we will strive to eat breakfast." ”

"Oh, got it. Gao Qiujin readily agreed, and she always washed clothes in the Chinese New Year's Eve of previous years.

"Do you even have to clean the rice warehouse, it's so dark that you can't see it at all. Gao Qiulin said.

"Then go in and pat the walls, and get rid of the insects and rats that are stealing the food inside. Zeng Shuhua returned. And when he had given the order, the three men went to their own business.

In the evening, their respective jobs were finally done, Zeng Shuhua did her best to make a lot of delicious meals, and Gao Qiulin couldn't wait to eat.

"You have to eat first, I'll set the dishes and chopsticks, you set the chairs, and Qiu Jin will light the incense." "The three mothers offered food to their deceased relatives under the tablet of the ancestors of the hall.

The freshly burned and fragrant meals were placed on the offering table, Zeng Shuhua also poured wine for the ancestors, and Gao Qiujin's incense was also lit and inserted under the offering table.

"The ancestors of the Gao family, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the juniors have invited you to eat, and after eating, you will be blessed with smooth and smooth life, and your wishes will come true, safe and healthy. Everything was ready, and Zeng Shuhua said these words to the tablet, as if the ancestors of the Gao family were still alive.

Gao Qiulin's sister and brother also stood respectfully and waited for the ancestors to enjoy the food, and after more than ten minutes of offering, Zeng Shuhua said to the sister and brother: "Okay, burn paper money, please go back to the ancestors, we should also eat." ”

The three mothers burned a dozen paper money in front of the offering table, and then Gao Qiulin set off a string of firecrackers in the courtyard, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began.

"Mom, will you still watch the Spring Festival Gala later?" Gao Qiulin glanced at his phone, it was already half past six in the evening, and in previous years, they would watch TV while eating melon seeds after eating.

"Look, don't you like it?" asked Zeng Shuhua, looking at them.

"I don't know if it's good-looking. Gao Qiulin was a little reluctant.

"I'm going to watch it and see what's good. Participated in the acting training, Gao Qiujin liked all kinds of TV shows very much.

"Let's look at it together, if you don't keep the New Year, your father-in-law will go to bed later, and you won't have to get up early to go to work and school tomorrow morning. Zeng Shuhua said.

The sisters and brothers laughed when they heard this, they didn't want to stay up all night, only when they were young, their father-in-law stayed all night.

"Okay, then I'll watch the Spring Festival Gala and wait for the New Year's Eve to go to bed. Gao Qiujin said.

"Bell bell, bell bell. While they were talking, Zeng Shuhua's mobile phone rang, it was Gao Jingyi calling, and Zeng Shuhua immediately picked it up.
