Chapter Seventy-Eight: The First Day of the Lunar New Year

Sing: It's the New Year in the first month!

It's the first day of the new year!

The family will be reunited!

Don't give the old land a New Year's greeting!

It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman!

Wear your new clothes!

This is the first few sentences of the small hat (small New Year's greeting) turned by the two, it sounds good!

As the lyrics say, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the day to wear new clothes to greet the elders.

This is a custom that we have in every province in China.

Zhou Shujie is not only here for the first day of the New Year, but also to get up early in the morning, who gets up the earliest, eats first and sets off firecrackers first, then his family is the most diligent family this year.

Zhou Shujie felt that he had just squinted when he heard the sound of firecrackers in the village.

I was awakened at once, lit a candle, took out my watch, and saw that it was only past four o'clock. Suddenly I felt a little crying and laughing, how early do these fellows have to get up, it won't be a night without sleep, right?

Zhou Shujie sat there listening to the sound of firecrackers in the village.

"Well, I don't have to sleep myself, get up quickly! This is going to be the last one, and the whole village must not say that she is a lazy bastard." ”

Zhou Shujie didn't take off his clothes when he went to bed last night, but it was easy to get up this morning, so he didn't have to wear them.

I got up and lit a candle, and first put the two little red envelopes I had prepared last night under the pillows of the two children.

Looking at the sleeping child, he whispered, "Mother, I wish you good health in the new year." ”

After that, he went down to the ground and lit all the candles inside and outside the house.

Then start boiling the stove to make water.

Meals on the first day of the Lunar New Year are easier to make.

There are still a lot of dishes left over from last night, and they don't need to be redone, just heat them up, and dozens of dumplings are enough for the two of them to eat.

Put the water at the bottom of the pot to cook the dumplings, put a curtain on it, and the vegetables are on the curtain, cover the wooden pot, and put a fire on the bottom of the pot to let it burn by itself.

Zhou Shujie mixed stuffing, noodles, and went into the house to make dumplings.

humming "Good Day" sung by a certain celebrity in his mouth, his hands are not idle, and he is a dumpling wrapper with a few swishs, and he does the work very neatly.

When the meal was ready, the genius was just dawning.

Zhou Shujie came to her mother-in-law, shook gently and shouted, "Mother, mother, wake up, eat." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!" When the mother-in-law who had just been woken up heard that she was called to eat, she looked outside with a little confusion on her face, and then turned her head to look at Zhou Shujie, as if to say, "Why are you eating again?" ”

"Mother, Happy New Year, today is the first day of the new year, so we have to eat early, and someone will come to greet you later. Zhou Shujie explained to her mother-in-law, and helped her mother-in-law put on her clothes in a daze.

After dressing neatly, I combed her hair, poured warm water into the washbasin, and asked my mother-in-law to wash her face in the house.

Zhou Shujie took the 100 firecrackers and walked outside the gate to light them.

The two children in the house were still sleeping, and she didn't dare to put them in the yard, for fear that they would frighten the children, so she took the whip and put it at the gate.

The firecrackers were finished with a crackling sound.

Zhou Shujie, who was freezing, ran into the house, and didn't care about the doors of the big factory.

She thought that the door would be open for New Year's greetings in a while, anyway!

ran into the house to warm up, and began to eat with his mother-in-law.

Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law didn't eat much for this breakfast, they each ate two bites and put them down, but they were not hungry after eating last night.

This Chinese New Year has disrupted people's usual habits of work and rest.

I ate a meal in the middle of the night last night, and I have to eat another meal this morning, and no one can eat much!

Zhou Shujie brought the leftover meals into the bowl rack in the same way.

The rest of the dishes and chopsticks should be brushed, washed, and so on, and the sky is bright.

The village also began to be noisy.

The juniors all went out of the house to visit the New Year, and when they met on the road, they would also smile and say Happy New Year.

Zhou Shujie saw that the time was almost up, and someone should come to pay New Year's greetings in a while, so he hurriedly took out all the fried hazelnuts and candies at home and put them on the kang, which was prepared for those children who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Sure enough, after waiting for a few minutes, I saw Aunt Guo's two little grandsons "Guo Ping" and "Guo An" running in with "Guo Juan" and a group of children.

Zhou Shujie saw these children running into the courtyard through the window, so he hurriedly went down to the ground and opened the door of the outhouse to welcome them in.

As soon as Guo Ping, Guo An, and Guo Juan of Aunt Guo's family saw Zhou Shujie who opened the door and won, they raised their smiling faces and said, "Happy New Year, Auntie!

As soon as the children who followed behind heard what they said, they also quickly followed and said, "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

"Okay, you guys also have a good New Year, come into the house, Auntie has prepared candy for you. As soon as she saw these bouncing children, Zhou Shujie liked it very much. I thought to myself, "When the obedient and steamed buns grow up in the future, will they also go to the New Year like them." When I thought of that scene, I couldn't pull the smile on the corner of my mouth.

"Wow, thank you, Auntie!" A group of children danced happily when they heard Zhou Shujie prepare candy for them.

Guo Ping and Guo An led them into the inner room, and when they saw the two children on the kang sleeping, they hurriedly turned around and said to the little friends behind them: "Shhhh ”

As soon as the friends heard Guo Ping say this, they quickly covered their mouths and nodded.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shujie couldn't help but smile again. If you want to say that these children are really, they will look at their eyes more than ordinary adults, and compared with them, Zhou Shujie feels like a little fool when he is young.

Seeing that they covered their mouths one by one and didn't dare to make a sound, Zhou Shujie smiled and said: "It's okay, the younger brothers and sisters are not afraid of quarrels, you can talk normally without taking care of them." ”

Zhou Ping, who was in the first room, commanded a group of friends behind him and said: "Stand up, let's line up and give grandma and aunt New Year's greetings!" After speaking, when he saw that only grandma was sitting on the kang, he quickly turned back to find Zhou Shujie and saw Zhou Shujie standing behind them. He said to her, "Auntie, come and sit down, we are going to give you a formal New Year's greeting." ”

"Okay!" Zhou Shujie listened to the command with a smile on her face, sat next to her mother-in-law on the edge of the kang, and waited with a smile for these children to give her a New Year's greeting.

"Listen to me!Start!Milk, milk, new, year, good!aunt, aunt, new, year, good!" As Zhou Ping gave an order, a group of children said New Year's greetings in unison.

Don't say they're pretty neat. This can't be said to be practiced by many families!

"Okay, okay, Auntie wishes you a happy New Year! Come here and bring you candy to eat. Zhou Shujie smiled and beckoned them to come forward.

Mother-in-law, although she didn't know what these children were doing, but she saw so many children laughing, and she looked at them with a smile on her face.

Guo Ping hurriedly said: "Don't rob, don't rob, go in the formation that An'er lined up before, don't mess up, the military law will deal with it." ”

"Got it", "We know" A group of children agreed in their mouths, and quickly started lining up in the formation they had agreed in advance.

lined up one by one and walked up to Zhou Shujie to get the candy.

As soon as he saw their formation, Zhou Shujie was happy, it seems that this is arranged according to the height of the tall, the smallest stands in the front, and the tallest stands last, don't say that they are quite neatly arranged.

Zhou Shujie smiled and gave each of these children two sugar balls and a handful of hazelnuts.

The children who received the candy were rare and put the candy ball into the straddle pocket, and they were reluctant to put it in their mouths.

Seeing that his friends had received the candy, Guo Ping waved his small hand and said, "Let's go!"

"Hahahaha!" looked at Guo Ping, who had a unique leadership style, and waved his hand, which made Zhou Shujie laugh.

sent these little guests away, and ushered in two groups of New Year's greeting children.

When Zhou Shujie's sugar was almost gone, there was no one in the yard and it quieted down.

Seeing that no one was coming, Zhou Shujie hurriedly closed the door.

While the child didn't wake up, she also went to pay New Year's greetings to her grandfather.

Zhou Shujie only took half an hour to give a simple greeting to the uncle's family, the uncle's family, and Aunt Guo's family, and after the worship, he didn't dare to stay there for long, for fear that he would go home late!

The most interesting thing is that Zhou Shujie gave her grandfather a New Year's greeting, and her grandfather actually gave her a red envelope.
