After all, it was the New Year, and although there was no vigil, listening to the festive firecrackers outside, everyone slept until two or three o'clock and woke up.

Put the meals prepared before going to bed in the steaming drawer and heat them, mix the cold dishes again, and serve them one by one.

In addition to steamed sea bass, tamales, plum cabbage button pork, braised hairtail, braised braised pork with bamboo shoots, sauced beef, roast chicken nuggets, cold pork ears, and other meat dishes, there are also vinegared and spicy cabbage, cold spinach, stewed beans, fried tofu and other vegetarian dishes.

Of course, there is also a sweet soup.

Chef Lin Wei, Feng Nian and Jin Hua started fighting.

Although it is not as fresh as when it is first made, steaming it is also better for the teeth of the elderly.

"Where's the wine?"

Seeing that there was no wine on the table, the old man glanced at Feng Nian, "My father and I will drink two cups to suit the situation." ”

Feng Nian raised his eyes and didn't believe it: "Just drink two cups?"

"If you say you have two cups, you will drink two cups. ”

The old man smiled and promised, "Definitely not too much." ”

"Alright, I'll get you wine. ”

Feng Nian got up, and when he came back, he not only had soju in his hand, but also a canned fruit. "The two of them are drinking, so let's pour some canned fruit and sugar water for the occasion. ”

When everyone's cup was not empty, Old Man Tang raised his glass, "This New Year, just eat and drink well, you can live a good life all year round, and there is surplus food and money at the end of the year." We are living a better life than many people, so I won't talk about anything else, I just wish our country can prosper day by day, and there are many talents, aircraft carriers, planes, warships, and as many missiles as possible!"

After saying that, drink it all.

Several people also drank with the old man, but the canned fruit was a little cold, and Lin Wei just took a sip.

"Eat, eat, eat! This year is the most comfortable!" the old man glanced at Lin Wei with a smile, "There is nothing better than this to add Ding to the population." ”

And this year's menu is also the most sumptuous.

The old man picked up a piece of steamed pork and stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it carefully for a while, swallowed it, and nodded towards Lin Wei, "It's delicious, the craftsmanship is good." ”

"Then you eat more. ”

Lin smiled.

Lin Wei likes fish, but there is a saying that during the New Year, the elders have to move the first chopsticks for the complete fish, and the elders don't move the first chopsticks, and the juniors can't touch it.

Although I don't know if there are any allusions or allegories in this, since there is such a statement, she is willing to abide by it.

It's about respecting your elders.

The old man took a bite of the tamale, and then sandwiched the whole fish with chopsticks.

At this point, there is no need to taboo anything at the table.

Several people were satisfied, and in the end, there were only a few dumplings left in everyone's bowl.

There is more than every year, and the most simple wishes of the common people.

After eating, the food is put back into the cage drawer and covered, so that there are no rats to climb up, as for the dishes and chopsticks, the chopsticks are cleaned, and the bowl for eating dumplings is left.

Seeing that he was finished, Feng Nian said, "It's not dawn yet, you go to sleep for a while, and when it's dawn, we'll go to your grandfather's place." ”

"Mom, what about you?"

Lin Wei asked her.

Feng Nian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm not sleepy, the habit I have developed over the years, once I wake up, then I will immediately wake up my mind, and I won't be able to sleep in a short time." You go to sleep, I'll walk around the living room and pass the time. ”

On the operating table, it was the patient who gave her life, how could she not be responsible?

So even if you are resting, you will wake yourself up as quickly as possible. Over time, this habit is formed.

"I'm not very sleepy. ”

Lin smiled and said, "Just finished eating, I'll take a walk and digest it." Perhaps, the children in the courtyard will come in groups to pay New Year's greetings. ”

Speaking of this, she hurriedly walked to the bedroom, and turned her head to Feng Nian and said, "I prepared some change two days ago, and I forgot to put it in the red envelope, Mom, you can help me put it later." ”

The red envelope is still in her satchel, along with the change.

Lin Wei took out a stack of red envelopes and change, and walked quickly to the living room, "I don't often be in the compound, and I don't know how many children there are in the compound now, so I estimated that some were prepared." ”

The money is not much, but it is not small compared to ordinary people.

In the past, when I was in Wangshan Village, most of the New Year's money was five cents, which was a lot. When I got to the city, I just heard that I would give a dime or two or something.

Of course, it's not very close, for example, the neighbor's children, the closer ones also have more than five cents.

Lin Wei thought about it, and was a little unsure, so he had to ask Feng Nian.

"Mom, one piece and five cents, how do you think it's better to wrap them?"

"There are a lot of children in the compound, so you don't have to give a piece. Too much, other people's faces don't look good when they say it. Feng Nian said directly, "It's all five cents." Save that group of little kids from making a headache compared to each other. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Nian couldn't help but laugh and told Lin Wei a little joke.

A few years ago, there was a new daughter-in-law who gave New Year's money, some less, some more, and finally the few came directly to the door and asked why, as a last resort, the new daughter-in-law had to make up for it.

This group of children in the compound is lawless, very naughty, and very direct. Sometimes, it is also cute and tight.

Give without difference, that must be the most convenient.

Lin Wei nodded instructively, put away a piece, and then sat down to seal the red seal with Feng Nian.

When the two of them had finished it and collected the rest of the money, they were thinking about doing something good when there was a knock on the door.

"Happy New Year, pretty little aunt!"

"It's New Year's greetings to my little aunt!"

"Happy New Year, little auntie!"

"The older the little aunt gets, the more beautiful she becomes!"

"Little aunt Wishing you prosperity!"

……

As soon as Lin Wei opened the door, she was instantly surrounded by a group of jubilant children, who were smiling and saying auspicious words to her.

After the uproar, he instantly quieted down and looked at her expectantly.

The children were all dressed in festive fashion, and their little faces were clean, which was very different from what she had seen before.

But, it's all lovely.

"Happy New Year, too. ”

Lin smiled and nodded at them.

"Does that pretty little aunt give her New Year's money?" asked a child who looked like a child king with a wink and a smile on her face.

Lin Wei also learned from him to wink, "Of course-"

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, looking at so many little smiling faces and becoming nervous, Lin Wei suddenly burst into a smile, "Of course, the New Year's money was prepared yesterday, just waiting for you to come." ”

Seeing that the children breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions relaxed, Lin Wei said narrowly: "I'm still thinking, if you don't come today, will I come to the door to find you one by one." ”

She had indeed prepared it a long time ago, but she didn't stuff it into the red envelope.

So, it's not a kid, is it?
