Chapter 156: The First Day of the Lunar New Year 2
Soon, Zi'an took eight dolls into the kitchen, and in the small cubicle of the kitchen, the little ones were carefully brushing their teeth around the sink.
Today, the children were dressed in the same style and color of plush fawn leather boots, black corduroy pants, and brown corduroy cover-ups. Of course, solid goods are cotton wool underwear that can automatically regulate body temperature and are worn as underwear. Zi'an is no exception, and the nine children are uniformly dressed.
Originally, I wanted to give my children a red scarf, but considering that this year is special, the children always have to go out to play, so let's just wear it.
Before breakfast, the children gave the old lady a regular greeting, Gu Huachen and Xiao Xuan paid New Year's greetings, and of course they also got red envelopes from their elders.
Xiao Xuan and Gu Huachen's red envelopes were the same, and each of them gave ten new pieces of money for one dime, which Gu Huachen specially went to the bank to exchange. The old lady gave each of them a small golden bun.
However, these little golden buns were not hot in the hands of the children, and they were put away by Xiao Xuan on the grounds that they were easily lost and reported.
Zi'an had seen the search by the red generals of the Revolutionary Committee before, so he gave the golden bun to Xiao Xuan without hesitation. With a role model, of course, other children can only give it obediently.
By the time we had breakfast, it was already dawn. Xiao Xuan could already faintly hear the children starting with Zhao Youan.
Zhao Youan is also twenty years old this year, but he is still a child if he is not married, plus the children of their family, the fifth master, the sixth master's family, and other children in the village are really not less than twenty.
After cleaning up the table, Gu Huachen put all the small snacks on the table again, and after putting small backpacks (used to put candy and other small snacks) on his children, he put on small hats and gloves for them one by one, and instructed Zi'an to call Jing Kewu when he passed by Jing Kewu's yard.
Ready for these, Gu Huachen took out two sleds from the storage room that could seat a total of eight children.
As soon as these were ready, a large group of children entered the courtyard.
"Master, master, happy new year!" The first to speak were the two brothers, Kanto Ming and Kanto Gaku.
Three or four years ago, after Gu Huachen's secret investigation, he finally accepted the two of them as apprentices, of course, in the past few years, only the village chief and the branch secretary knew in a small area, since Gu Shouwu was rehabilitated last year, Gu Huachen did not have too many scruples.
"Master, Master, Happy New Year!" This is Xiao Xuan's first apprentice, and it is also the eldest nephew Zhao Youan who brought a group of younger brothers and sisters to the master and sister-in-law to pay New Year's greetings.
"Okay, good, everyone, Happy New Year, let's warm up in the kitchen!" Xiao Xuan thought that it was cold outside, so it was not too late to welcome the children into the house to warm up for a while.
How do you know, these little guys are all impatient, the youngest son of the fifth master Zhang Zhengmin's family is 9 years old this year, Xiao Lantern Festival, pulling the corner of Xiao Xuan's clothes: "Little aunt, we don't go in, we still have to go to the first few houses to pay New Year's greetings, and there will be no good food if we go late." ”
Xiao Xuan: "......" Mo, isn't this how the children's New Year is spent?
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll get you something to eat. As soon as Xiao Xuan turned around, the old lady came out with a big basket, "Come on, come on, one for each person, don't grab it." ”
The old lady was still careful, and when she heard the movement of the yard, she quickly took the brown paper and wrapped all the food, which was not much but was better than the variety. In each kraft paper bag, there is a corn bun that has just been made in the morning, crispy twist flowers, zongzi candy, and some peanuts and pine nuts.
Xiao Xuan gave another red envelope, which was stuffed with two two-cent notes and four one-cent notes, and one red envelope was eight cents.
The children happily stuffed the red envelope into the side pocket of the small bag they carried, and stuffed the food into the bag, beckoning the nine children of the Gu family to go out again.
The Gu family quadruplets and Gu Ziyan were also put on the sleigh by their uncle and father, originally Gu Huachen wanted to pull the children over first and call Jing Kewu first, but now I see that Zhao Youan and Gu Zi'an, the two older children, have already pulled up the sled, and a few small ones are also squeezing on the sled, so I don't care about them anymore, it's not normal for the children to not make trouble, isn't it!
Seeing the children go forward again, Xiao Xuan carried the old lady into the kitchen and chatted.
At noon, the children came with Jing Cheng'an, along with Jing Cheng'an's two guards.
The children who came back were excited, saying that they would not take a nap if it didn't snow in the afternoon, and that they were going to go fishing with their cousins.
Xiao Xuan and Gu Huachen looked at each other helplessly and smiled, okay, the bear children have grown up and always have to fly out, not to mention that this kind of happy day has not been around for a few years.
Speaking of fishing, Jing Kewu is also excited, not because he can eat fish, but because of the process of fishing: "I will also go in the afternoon, and I will draw this scene." "No, Jing Kewu is already looking forward to it.
This commotion made the two guards also very excited, rolled up their sleeves and applied with Jing Chengan: "Report to the chief, in order to protect the safety of the children, we apply to join the fishing activities in the village!"
Jing Chengan agreed with a smile, "Go, go, keep the children safe!"
A group of people had a lively lunch, and before Xiao Xuan cleaned up the table, the children were already clamoring to get dressed and call their friends. Even the five little ones clamored to go to the river with their brothers.
Xiao Xuan and Gu Huachen worked together to put on coats and cotton hats for a few children, and after a period of busy work, Jing Kewu and two guards went out with the children, and the house was quiet again.
Cheng Meihong looked at the children for a while, looked at Jing Kewen who was making tea on the side, and said leisurely: "Kewen, when will you give birth to a grandson for your mother to play?"
"Mom, you might as well expect Kewu to be more realistic. "Jing Kewen bluntly said 'counterattack'.
Jing Chengan patted the back of Cheng Meihong's hand: "Daughter-in-law, let the children's affairs go naturally." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, my brother's good days are coming soon, and you are guaranteed to be able to hold your big fat grandson within five years. ”
According to Gu Huachen's original temperament, he would never say this, but he looked at Cheng Meihong's sad face during dinner yesterday, so when he chatted with Jing Kewu at night, he was bored and calculated a hexagram for him.
Fortunately, Jing Kewu did not disappoint him, his conjugal palace is tending to be full and smooth, and the peach blossoms will open in less than two years. And the Children's Palace also has many auspicious stars such as Ziwei, Tianfu, and Wuqu guarding together, and it is not childless and daughterless.
In order to avoid Cheng Meihong's nagging in the next few days, and in order to comfort her old man's desire to hug her grandson, Gu Huachen had to come forward and ease this knot first.
