The days passed, and the Chinese New Year's Eve was just around the corner.

Festive red lanterns were hung everywhere in the courtyard, and Spring Festival couplets were also pasted.

This year, I don't know who arranged it, the pine and cypress in the courtyard hung a string of small lanterns, and at night they were colorful and shining, which won unanimous praise from everyone, and felt that this was particularly festive.

The ban on fireworks has been noisy for many years, but it is difficult to strictly abide by the will of the people.

In the past few days, the children can't help but sneak a few, and from time to time in the yard there is a "bang" here, and there is a "bang", accompanied by the excited screams of the children, and the adults also turn a blind eye.

The nanny aunt had gone home for the New Year a few days ago, and the eldest and second had taken their children back to the old house, although Xiao Yan was not there, but because of the appearance of Lin Yi, a new face, the whole family was looking forward to this year.

The TV program is full of joy, the TV in the living room is on almost from morning to night, the two children cheer every day when they open their eyes and go out to play with their friends, Lin Yi is not idle, and every day with the Xiao family to make various preparations for the New Year.

Because of the Xiao family's clear position, the neighbors are much more enthusiastic about Lin Yi, and they see it every day, no longer just politely greeting her, and occasionally someone will chat with her for a while.

For this subtle change, Lin Yi is clear in his heart, but on the surface, he is the same as before, polite and thoughtful, so that people can't make mistakes.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Whether in her previous life or in this life, because of the small number of people in her family, she has never had such a lively year.

Buy New Year's goods, clean up, paste Spring Festival couplets, paste New Year's paintings, paste window flowers, steamed rice cakes, make dumplings, croquettes, and fried crispy meat

There are many things to do, but they are not boring at all.

Lin Yi felt that in just a few days, there were more sincere smiles on her face than in a year.

The Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year was particularly richly prepared, running on the mountains in the sea, many rare ingredients were brought to the table, the family gathered, and there were so many dishes that a large round table almost couldn't fit down!

Several big men drank and blushed, and they didn't get off the table until the Spring Festival Gala began.

Then clean up the dishes and chopsticks, make dumplings for dumplings, and watch TV for TV.

I don't know how long it took, I heard the two children cheering, Lin Yi looked up, it turned out that the elders of the family were there to give red envelopes to the children!

Lin Yi patted the noodles on his hands, took out the red envelopes that had been prepared in his pocket and handed them to the two children, but they sent out two and took back four.

Not only the old couple prepared red envelopes for her, but even Xiao Jianguo's husband and wife and the eldest brother and second brother prepared them for her.

It is reasonable for a husband and wife to be one, and it is reasonable for a couple to give one.

Most of them are considering that she and Xiao Yan are not married yet, and treat her as a child.

"What's so embarrassing about this? I'm already so old, how can I still get a red envelope?"

Lin Yi didn't expect this to happen at all, so he waved his hand again and again to refuse, very embarrassed.

"Take it! The new year will be prosperous! Everything will go well!"

The old man spoke, and the old lady smiled at her with a red envelope.

"Yes! Gai Ming'er, you and the third child are married, but there is no such a good thing! My sister-in-law and I can only be greedy once, and I am quite excited to think about it!"

The second sister-in-law also smiled and persuaded her to take it.

"Hurry up and put it away, let's make dumplings, and wait until twelve o'clock to eat it!

Doctor Su greeted him, and everyone dispersed, so Lin Yi had to take the red envelope and go over to help with a red face.

"Hey! I was hesitant to go to the scene to watch the Spring Festival Gala now, but now I think it's better to watch TV at home, watch this warm, eat and drink comfortably at home! It's much better than going to the scene!"

"Grandma said yes! It's all these every year, and there's nothing to see when I go, and I'm afraid that the camera will make a fool of me, and I'm embarrassed to laugh if I want to laugh, it's very boring."

Listening to the gossip between the sisters-in-law and the elders, Lin Yi watched TV while making dumplings, and glanced at the mobile phone placed on the cabinet next to him from time to time.

When the Xiao family saw her like this, they knew that she was looking forward to the third child calling, and sighed in their hearts, so they took turns to lead her to speak, and asked her what arrangements she had for the new year.

Problems are endless.

Lin Yi has not had many people in her family for two lifetimes, and this is the first time she has "enjoyed" this kind of much-watched treatment, and she answered honestly one by one, but she didn't feel annoyed.

Soon, she didn't have the heart to think about Xiao Yan, who didn't know where she was at this moment.

Someone set off fireworks outside the house, the two children couldn't sit still, and soon took the black tiger out to join in the fun, the old man was not at ease, and went out, and soon a neighbor came to invite the eldest brother and the second brother to play mahjong, and soon only Xiao Jianguo and his wife, two sisters-in-law, and Lin Yi and the old lady were left in the house.

Time seems to be very fast, and it seems to be very slow, Lin Yi is a little sleepy watching TV, and the family is still making dumplings.

Xiao Jianguo held a rolling pin and skillfully rolled the dumpling skin, and Lin Yi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the small dough that was constantly changing shape.

She can only make dumplings, and she has not yet learned the technical work of rolling dumpling skins.

In a festive room, the Spring Festival Gala came to an end unconsciously.

Twelve o'clock is coming.

Xiao Jianguo patted the flour on his hands and walked out with a hanging firecracker.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law took the wrapped dumplings to the kitchen.

The water that was boiled before happened to be boiling at this time, and as soon as the curtain dumplings went down, the cold water was added twice, and the white and chubby dumplings floated up.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, there was a crackling sound outside!

It was firecrackers from house to house.

"It's the New Year!"

"Eat dumplings!"

The children's joyful cheers boiled, and they all knew how energetic they were!

Lin Yi washed the dishes and prepared the dumplings, looking forward to this special meal.

She smiled and decided to serve the dumplings when the children and adults who had gone out to play came back.

At this moment, the landline in the living room rang happily!

The phone on the cabinet also kept vibrating.

Lin Yi glanced at it, it was a New Year's message from friends.

She estimated that the phone at home was also called by someone to pay New Year's greetings, and it was inconvenient for her to answer this call, so she wiped the water on her hands and stood in the corner to reply to the text message, not paying attention to what Dr. Su said when he answered the phone.

The sound of firecrackers rang off for a while, and the courtyard was filled with gunsmoke, and the earth-shaking noise finally subsided.

Lin Yi finished sending the message and put the phone in his pocket, looked up with a smile, and was about to eat dumplings, when he saw Dr. Su and Xiao Jianguo wearing coats with very bad faces.

The old lady was asking suspiciously: "Chinese New Year's Eve, what urgent matter do you have to go out now?"

"Mom! there's an emergency in the unit, I have to go, I don't know when I'll be back, you eat some dumplings and go to sleep!"

Dr. Su has always talked little, and she is used to having a cold face, she said that she was going to the hospital, which was a matter of human life, so no one asked her what was going on, but Xiao Jianguo was pestered, and she could only explain a few words.

Soon, the two went out the door.

The old lady was on the windowsill and saw them go out in a car, and she couldn't figure it out: "The hospital is not on the way! Why don't you drive the car alone?"

At night, the son and daughter-in-law's unit have emergencies that need to go, and the old lady understands very well, but she is still a little unhappy, feeling that her son spoils her daughter-in-law too much.

Obviously so anxious, I still thought about sending my daughter-in-law to the hospital first.

"It shows that Dad's side is not particularly anxious, otherwise he won't have time to send my mother, grandma, you should rest assured!"

Xiao Lao, who went to play cards next door, just said a few words to his parents in the courtyard, and when he entered the door, he heard his grandmother complaining.

"Yes, grandma! It's so late, uncle just doesn't worry about aunt going out alone, this is their relationship!"

Whether you are a doctor or a soldier, it is normal to need to work overtime in case of emergency.

It is rare to have a reunion year, the old lady is a little lost, Lin Yi understands very well and helps to persuade.

Because of this sudden disappointment, the family barely ate some dumplings, so they packed up and went back to the house.

Regarding the work of his family, Lin Yi was never curious to inquire, so he went back to the house and fell asleep.

It's just that I'm a little uneasy in my heart, and I can't sleep when I toss and turn.
