Chapter 141: Chinese New Year's Eve

Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the year. Tomorrow is the New Year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and each place has its own customs. Each place has its own Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, according to custom, parents are busy with one thing a day, which is cooking.

I started making it after breakfast in the morning, and almost all the food I bought a year ago was made into a dish, and if I couldn't finish it, I would put it away and eat it slowly. At noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is basically no meal, and if the elderly or children are hungry, they generally just eat a little simple cushion to cushion their stomachs.

Busy with a large table of dishes, waiting until the afternoon to start eating, this meal is actually more "hearty" than any meal in a year.

My parents got up in the morning and were busy cooking, and Chen Xiaojian also wanted to help, but this was pushed by my mother.

When Chen Xiaojian was a child a few years ago, he had just learned how to cook, and when he saw his parents cooking for a busy day, he thought about helping.

My mother said at the time: "Go out and play with your friends, this is not the place for you." If you want to cook a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it will be your turn when you get married later. ”

Chen Xiaojian actually didn't understand why he had to get married first to cook a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and a single dog couldn't cook a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

Chen Xiaojian felt the malice of this world, and in the eyes of his mother's disgust, Chen Xiaojian was kicked out of the kitchen.

Since then, Chen Xiaojian has never mentioned that he wants to take the initiative to help cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, since the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner does not need Chen Xiaojian's help, then Chen Xiaojian naturally took on the task of sticking the Spring Festival.

Chen Xiaojian took out all the couplets he bought two days ago, and Chen Xiaojian still remembered that he wrote couplets when he was in elementary school.

At that time, the school asked students to choose one of the brush and hard pen to practice, Chen Xiaojian was originally a hard pen to practice, but after practicing for a period of time, the teacher of the hard pen class transferred the brush class.

Chen Xiaojian said that he was very heartbroken, so later, Chen Xiaojian always felt that his handwriting was ugly, because he had been hurt by that teacher before.

After Chen Xiaojian arrived at the brush class, he practiced calligraphy for a period of time, and then found that his calligraphy was actually okay, and he was often able to get a first-class evaluation. (This thing is amazing, the author's hard pen is A, B, C rating, but the brush is A, B, C rating, I don't know what the situation is on everyone's side.) )

After Chen Xiaojian practiced calligraphy, Chen Xiaojian wrote the Spring Festival couplets at home. However, within a few years, after Chen Xiaojian reached the fifth grade, they stopped practicing calligraphy.

At first, Chen Xiaojian could still write, but after a long time, he couldn't write well. Chen Xiaojian had no choice but to give up the idea of writing couplets by himself every year, and the couplets were mainly bought.

Chen Xiaojian took out the couplet, placed it separately, then took a small bowl with some water to adjust the bowl paste, and began to paste the couplet with a small brush.

In addition to couplets, there are also Fuwa, door gods and the like, Chen Xiaojian pasted these back and forth on the door, wall, and window.

After the couplet was pasted, there was basically nothing to do with Chen Xiaojian, Chen Xiaojian went to the kitchen to take a look at his parents who were still busy, and then ran back to the living room and began to text the classmates who had mobile phones.

This text message is still the mainstream nine-square grid keyboard era,New Year's greetings basically rely on texting,Of course, if the relationship is really good, you can also consider calling。

Chen Xiaojian took out his mobile phone and began to make up jokes, and after finishing the compilation, he began to send them to his friends one by one.

Chen Xiaojian used to develop the habit of sending single messages when he was doing sales, and for Chen Xiaojian, Chen Xiaojian couldn't read the kind of group text messages, so he deleted them directly.

How to judge the mass text message, Chen Xiaojian's basis is very simple, that is, to see if the head of the text message has his own name.

If there is no name, then it will be judged as a group, if there is a name, but the name is another person, Chen Xiaojian basically began to think about whether it was time to block this person.

SMS forwarding is nothing, but can you check a little before forwarding?

There are not many people in Chen Xiaojian's mobile phone, after all, there are not many students with mobile phones in high school, this is because Chen Xiaojian has many scumbag friends around him, and almost none of the top students have mobile phones.

There are few people, so Chen Xiaojian quickly finished it. After sending it, Chen Xiaojian put the phone back in his pocket and started watching TV.

After a while, the mobile phone in Chen Xiaojian's pocket began to tremble non-stop, and Chen Xiaojian's thighs were a little numb. Sometimes I have to admire these magic machines at this time.

After waiting for a while for the phone to stop vibrating, Chen Xiaojian took out the phone and began to look at the text messages they replied to.

Most people replied relatively simply, basically "Happy New Year" or something like that, and only a few people would find some interesting text messages to reply to Chen Xiaojian.

After reading it, Chen Xiaojian smiled and didn't reply, put away his phone, and continued to watch TV. There are no good-looking programs now, so Chen Xiaojian can only watch them casually, and the time is spent in the middle of the transfer.

Just when Chen Xiaojian felt that he was about to fall asleep with boredom, his mother shouted Chen Xiaojian over with a voice, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was ready.

Chen Xiaojian, his parents, and grandparents ate around a table. Looking at the table full of dishes, Chen Xiaojian felt that his saliva was about to flow down, not necessarily because the dishes were delicious, or maybe Chen Xiaojian was really hungry.

After all, I ate some porridge in the morning, and I was already hungry. When people are hungry, any kind of food is delicious.

Dad and Grandpa poured a glass of white wine, usually Grandpa has to drink two or two, but Dad generally does not drink, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve It doesn't matter.

Chen Xiaojian, his mother, and grandmother poured some rice wine. This rice wine is made by my grandmother herself, and only when my grandmother brews some rice wine for the New Year, I usually can't drink it.

Chen Xiaojian actually doesn't like to drink rice wine very much, in Chen Xiaojian's opinion, the taste is too light, Chen Xiaojian still prefers liquor. But now that I'm still in high school, I don't dare to tell my dad that I want to make liquor.

Many times it's so strange, when I was in high school, I wasn't allowed to drink liquor, but when I graduated from high school, Chen Xiaojian's father began to let Chen Xiaojian learn to drink liquor.

It's as if the legal adulthood is not really an adulthood, and only high school graduation is a rite of passage.

A family, a table of dishes, five glasses of wine. The last meal of the year begins with the laughter of the family. The meal lasted more than an hour, and when everyone was almost finished, my mother brought out a fish from the kitchen.
