As night falls, the sound of firecrackers in the small village is endless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Mother Lin, Lin Gang and Liu Ruyan were all busy cooking dumplings in the kitchen, while Father Lin was sitting by the brazier in the hall, smiling and smoking the high-end cigarettes that Liu Ruyan bought for him, looking at the first color TV that his daughter-in-law bought. After a lifetime of hard work and a lifetime of smoking inferior cigarettes, today I enjoy this belated and hard-won happiness and joy to the fullest.

Lin Qiang's family also came over, and Liu Ruyan saw Wan Xinghua standing at the door a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly shouted: "Sister-in-law, come here, bring the dumplings to the table." ”

Wan Xinghua "hey", quickly into the kitchen, the sound is also exceptionally crisp, this year, she is also in a good mood, not only her own New Year's goods are placed there, but also she has added a dress, this dress at a glance knows that it is a very expensive brand goods, this year, she can also go to her mother's house to show off.

After a while, Wan Xinghua and Liu Ruyan each came out with a large pot of dumplings and put them on the dining table. Ye Zi and Dunzi were busy looking at the two pots of dumplings at the table, Liu Ruyan looked at the two cute children staring at the dumplings, so she took a small bowl, took a few dumplings with chopsticks and handed them to Yezi, and Ye Zi happily took them.

Dunzi saw that his aunt gave the dumplings to Yezi, but he didn't do it, so he shouted loudly: "Auntie is eccentric, give it to my sister, if you don't give it to me, I want it too." Liu Ruyan laughed, also took a small bowl, sandwiched a few dumplings, handed it to Dunzi, and said: "Why is my aunt eccentric? Only then did Dunzi happily take the bowl: "Hello, auntie." Liu Ruyan kissed the forehead lovingly.

Wan Xinghua stood aside and watched Liu Ruyan make dumplings for her two children, and suddenly felt guilty in her heart, for so many years, she had not asked the two old people to celebrate the New Year in her own house for a year, nor had she asked the two old people what they ate during the New Year. Seeing Liu Ruyan's attitude towards her whole family today, she also felt that she had treated the old man too much, and turned her face to see Father Lin smoking a cigarette, smiling at Liu Ruyan's dumplings for children, so she gently walked to Father Lin's side and called out in a low voice: "Dad, let's go to the table, we have the New Year." This sentence "Dad" is also Wan Xinghua's first title after marrying into the Lin family.

Father Lin glanced at Wan Xinghua, didn't snort, and walked to the table.

"Lin Gang, haven't you made the dishes yet? Let's serve them when they're ready, brother, everyone in the village is setting off firecrackers, and we will also take the firecrackers, which are the disc on the inside, and light it, and celebrate the New Year lively. Liu Ruyan is extremely excited today, for more than 20 years, she has not had such a lively Spring Festival as this year, so she does not care about the day's hard work, she is still busy with this and that, seeing Lin Qiang standing aside, his hands are not and his feet are not embarrassing, so he asked him to light firecrackers to enliven the atmosphere. When Lin Qiang heard this, he happily said "hey" and hurriedly ran to the back room to take out the plate of firecrackers, and Wan Xinghua also followed behind Lin Qiang, busy pulling away the firecrackers.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Mu added some kiln end to the brazier to make the brazier more red, there is this custom in the countryside, the brazier on the thirty nights cannot be extinguished, the more red the brazier is, it means that the next year will be more prosperous than this year.

The family sat around and prepared to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Before the gala began, Liu Ruyan took out a few red envelopes from her pocket, each of which contained two brand-new 100-yuan bills, and the banknotes were flat and exposed a little outside.

Liu Ruyan first took two red envelopes, one was stuffed into Yang's father's hand, and the other was stuffed into Yang's mother's hand: "Dad, Mom, it's the New Year, I will give you a red envelope for the old one, I wish the coming year a prosperous year, the second old man is healthy, happy, come, take it." ”

The old couple happily took it.

Wan Xinghua stared unnaturally at the other three red envelopes in Liu Ruyan's hand.

Liu Ruyan took out two more red envelopes and handed them to Ye Zi and Dunzi: "Ye Zi, Dunzi, Auntie will give each of you a red envelope, I wish you happiness and happiness, be obedient and obedient, and study hard when you grow up." ”

Mother Lin also said: "Auntie wishes you a strong bubble, thank you Auntie." ”

Ye Zi and Dunzi have never accepted a red envelope, and they don't know what to do, but they just look at Liu Ruyan timidly.

Seeing this, Wan Xinghua's eyes lit up, you know, a red envelope is 200 yuan, and two is 400 yuan, which is not a small fortune, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand, took the two red envelopes, and said to the two children while putting them in her pocket: "Thank you Auntie." ”

The two children obediently said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

"How can you thank you?" Liu Ruyan didn't care about Wan Xinghua's actions, because the money still had to go to Wan Xinghua's pocket in the end, she just wanted to tease her little nephew and little niece.

The two children, who didn't know how to thank them, stood in front of Liu Ruyan, scratching their heads with their hands, and laughing.

"New Year's greetings to my aunt. Mother Lin reminded her two grandchildren.

The two children really knelt to greet Liu Ruyan for the New Year, which made Liu Ruyan laugh happily and helped the two children up.

Father Lin saw that Wan Xinghua's eyes were open when he saw money, that virtue was really ugly, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he was secretly held down by Lin Gang, who was sitting next to him, so he had to give Wan Xinghua a blank look and watch TV without humming.

"Dad, will my sister's family come tomorrow?" Liu Ruyan looked at the remaining red envelope in her hand and asked Father Lin.

"Their family didn't come until the second day of junior high school, and our custom here is that the first son of junior high school is the first son of junior high school, that is, everyone celebrates the New Year at their own house on the first day of the first lunar month, and they don't come to their father-in-law's house until the second day of junior high school, which is called a visit. Father Lin was originally holding his breath by Wan Xinghua's behavior, but when he heard Liu Ruyan ask him, his heart was relieved again, and he quickly replied to Liu Ruyan.

"Oh, we still have this custom here, it's quite fresh to hear, Lin Gang, why don't you tell me about these family customs, these folk customs have a profound cultural heritage. When Liu Ruyan heard Father Yang say this, she put the remaining red envelope into her pocket, reached out and pulled the leaf standing beside her into her arms, picked it up and put it on her lap, hugged the leaf, and gave Lin Gang a blank look.

When Father Lin heard that Liu Ruyan wanted to hear the local New Year's customs, he was also energetic, and happily told Liu Ruyan about the folk customs of the New Year here.

While watching TV, Liu Ruyan listened to Father Lin's talk about folk customs and customs, interjected from time to time to ask very carefully about a certain detail, and occasionally teased the leaves in her arms, feeling very happy.

The hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, and Lin Gang went to the kitchen to prepare the tribute to the ancestors.
