In his previous life, Yang Yi didn't know the importance of the winter solstice festival to the Chinese people, not even to mention him, many people living in the city didn't know this festival, they just regarded it as a solar term.

But in fact, this festival has a long history, not just the solar terms, the Zhou and Qin periods, the winter solstice is also the "Spring Festival" at that time, and the important activities of ancestor worship or family dinners are often chosen on the winter solstice. Even if the winter solstice and the first month were separated, people still regarded the winter solstice as a small year!

In the Tang and Song dynasties, or the same dynasties in this world, this festival was also a day to worship the ancestors (worship with the four homonyms), for the emperor, it was to go to the suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship the sky, and for ordinary people, this day was to worship their parents and elders......

Not to mention the similar history of the two worlds, Yang Chonggui and Dong Yue'e attach great importance to this festival.

Early in the morning, Dong Yue'e also took Zheng Shuyi and Yang Qing, asked Yang Yi to lead the way, and sent her to the vegetable market to buy all kinds of ingredients, as well as flour, glutinous rice, sticky rice noodles and so on used to make noodles, pumpkin pie and dumplings.

According to the customs of Yang Yi and their hometown, noodles and pumpkin pie are eaten on the winter solstice, but Murphy said that if he wanted to eat dumplings, this little wish would naturally be fulfilled.

And Yang Chonggui also asked Yang Yi to prepare incense and candles early, and when they came back from buying vegetables, at more than ten o'clock in the morning, the three men went south to worship the ancestors, Yang Chonggui also chattered, it is said that he wanted to inform the ancestors of Yang Yi's birth and name, hoping that the ancestors would bless the children to grow up healthy and happy.

It's a bit superstitious, but the moral is good, isn't it?

The most lively thing is that it is close to noon, and everyone sits in rows around the dining room table, making pumpkin pie and kneading dumplings together.

In order to let Xixi feel the atmosphere of the traditional Chinese festival, Yang Yi also asked her for leave on this day. So, when everyone gathered around the table, the little girl also came over curiously, looking at her father with big eyes for a while, and grandma for a while.

"Xixi, where is Mom? Why don't you accompany Mom? Mom is so bored by herself?" Yang Yi asked Xixi with a smile.

The little girl was watching her grandmother crush the steamed pumpkin into pumpkin puree with a soup spoon, and she picked up her father's words a little absentmindedly: "Ma Ma, where is Ma Ma?"

"Ma Ma is here!" Murphy walked from the living room with a smile on his face.

Xi Xi came back to her senses at this time, she herself inexplicably felt interesting, giggled, pointed to her mother and said, "Yes, Ma Ma is here!"

"Why are you here? It's a mess here. Yang Yi was worried that Murphy would be uncomfortable standing for a long time, so he quickly wiped the flour off his hands, brought her a chair, and brought a warm cushion from the living room for her to sit on.

"You also said that I was bored, come here to sit with everyone, although it can't help much, but I and Yu Yu can still support you. Murphy sat down with a smile, gently took Xiao Yu's soft hand, and called out in a fake whisper, "Come on, come on!"

When Dong Yue'e saw this scene, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. If Xiao Yu could say it herself, maybe grandma would be even happier.

Of course, Xiao Yu still can't even shout six-six-six...... Ahem, little baby. So he can only react to some of his mother's voices, for example, the corners of his mouth grin slightly, I don't know if it means happy.

Zheng Shuyi looked at the interaction between the mother and son enviously, and probably thought in her heart, when will she and Yang Qing hurry up to have one!

But I'm not pregnant yet!

The adults were talking and laughing, but Xixi was more concerned about what they were doing, and after a turn, the little girl finally returned to her father's side and watched her father knead her dough.

"Do you want to knead the dough with Dad? When the time comes, let's eat dumplings, which are made of this. Yang Yi saw that she was very interested, and asked softly.

"Okay!" Xixi nodded happily and replied crisply.

The noodles have been almost kneaded by Yang Yi, not the slimy and powdery appearance before, but very smooth, Xi Xi pressed it with her little finger, only feeling cold and soft.

In order to let the little girl reach it, Yang Yi also asked her to stand on a small chair. Xixi turned her head, raised her head slightly, and said to her father in surprise: "It's the same as plasticine." ”

Yang Yiwan smiled and said: "It's still a little different, the plasticine is softer, this surface is harder, come, you are like your father, press it with your palm." ”

Yang Yi taught her how to knead the dough, of course, with the little girl's current strength, she couldn't control such a large piece of dough, but she saw that Xixi used the strength to eat milk, and she could only press the dough down a little, but she printed her own palm print on it.

Xixi didn't have a particularly big sense of frustration, she was as happy as she had discovered a new world, and pointed to her handprint and said to her father: "Baba, look. ”

"Yes, go on!" Yang Yi encouraged the little girl, he took over and finished kneading the noodles, then put the noodles on the side, and continued to let Xixi play.

After a while, the little girl who was so happy that she didn't know when she had a flour print on her face.

Of course, as if with a blood-stained demeanor, the little girl's face was stained with flour, which also announced that she was trying hard to help and was not lazy.

"Fuck, look at my sister, how powerful my sister is!" Murphy saw it, happily picked up Xiao Fuck, supported his ass with one hand, and wrapped his body with the other, and said.

Of course, I don't understand anything, and I guess I can't see my sister so far away, and she still looks confused.

However, Xi Xi reacted positively, she turned around excitedly, picked up her father's clothes, and waved her hand to greet Xi Xi: "Brother, do you want to help too?"

Yang Yi looked down at his clothes that were stained with flour marks by Xixi's little hands, and felt a little helpless.

But Murphy had a lot of fun with Xixi, and saw Murphy learn the tone of a child and say in a fake voice: "I'm sorry, sister, I'm still very young, and I can't help yet." ”

"Hee-hee!" Not only Xixi, but several adults were amused.

"Wait a minute, I'll get a camera to take pictures. Yang Yi looked at this scene and couldn't help but say.

He hurried to the study, brought a camera and a tripod, and first took a few photos of Xixi kneading the dough, as well as a smiling face with a little girl's face painted with flour.

Then Yang Yi set up a tripod, set up a good position, chose a good angle, set up the camera, set a time to delay taking pictures, and said, "Let's take a picture together!"

With the camera clicking a few consecutive shots, the family sat around with a smile on their faces, and the photos of preparing winter solstice food together were recorded, and Murphy and Xiao Yu were also photographed in the lens, but the last one, Xiao Yu was frightened because everyone was calling "eggplant", and opened his mouth to cry.

These are some contrasting photos, but they are also more interesting and have a lot of warmth.

However, after the filming, they remembered.

And Yang Huan!

"When will Huanhuan come back?" asked Zheng Shuyi with a smile.

Before the voice fell, Yang Yi's mobile phone rang, Yang Huan's phone.

"Big brother, I'm at the door, you call the security guard and tell me to come in. Yang Huan didn't know it and said.

"Huanhuan, come quickly, we are all waiting for you!" Zheng Shuyi smiled, and after a few meters, she shouted at Yang Huan on her mobile phone.

"Little aunt, come quickly!" Xixi also giggled and shouted with her aunt.
