Chapter 34: Chinese New Year

"Proud?!"

Chen Jiawen looked at the happy ones beside him and was a little depressed. If it weren't for the fact that she played in a yard from childhood to adulthood, knowing that she didn't care about it and didn't think much about it, otherwise I really thought that she was born with little roots!

"Why! I'm being used as a springboard, and I'm not allowed to be awkward! But how do you know?"

Looking at the confused eyes one by one with a puzzled expression, Chen Jiawen sighed secretly. When the sophomore year of high school was divided into arts and sciences classes, many people knew that Zeng Jingxia from the outer class was transferred to Shi Lei!

Seeing Chen Jiawen's face known to everyone on the earth, he stuck out his tongue one by one. It's been almost ten years ago, so I can remember it!

"Yiyi, do you have a Penguin?, what is the dormitory number?" Chen Jiawen asked Yiyi dissatisfiedly as he walked.

"You can do it! You won't even contact me when you go to college!"

One by one smiled wryly, and the two exchanged contact information.

"Where are you going to spend the Chinese New Year this year? Do you want to go back to grandma's house?"

"Well, I have to go back every year for the Chinese New Year. One by one nodded.

Listening to the words one by one, Chen Jiawen kicked the stones on the side of the road.

"Zheng Rong went to her grandmother's house yesterday, and it is estimated that she will come back after fifteen. Shi Lei estimated that he would leave in two days, and it was getting harder and harder for us to get together after a holiday. ”

looked at the lost Chen Jiawen one by one, and felt a little uncomfortable. After working in the previous life, everyone was in the field, and the time to go home and get together was indeed getting less and less.

"How are you doing in Kyoto?

One by one, the topic changed, and the two walked home while chatting.

In the last week of the year, except for a dinner with my high school classmates on Tuesday afternoon, the rest of the days were spent cleaning up the house, cooking, washing dishes, and living an ordinary but down-to-earth life. It's all the trivial things that are essential in life, but it's very dedicating to doing them one by one. Because of the dedication, the parents are very satisfied with each of these days, and they are also relaxed and happy every day.

This is the happiness that life brings, and it is very satisfying one by one.

On Saturday, the last working day before the holiday, the parents who got off work in the evening packed up the New Year's goods to be taken away the next day, urging them to rest early one by one.

I washed up one by one and went back to the bedroom. Soon there was an argument in the parents' master bedroom, and then the sound of my father coming out to make the bed on the sofa in the living room was heard one by one.

It seems that the convention of quarrels years ago has not changed because of the efforts of one by one. What about the new year? I'm afraid it's indispensable, right? Thinking about it one by one, what is lacking in the family?

It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, how can we get across?

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the parents packed up their things casually, and the father called a car early to move the New Year's goods.

The first stop is my grandmother's house across the city from a family. My grandfather passed away when I was in elementary school, and my grandmother was always alone, and my uncle, who lived in the same city, would often visit him, and my mother would go back to help take care of her on holidays.

I left my grandmother's house and continued north, and finally arrived at my grandfather's house before lunch in a small village on the other side of the city, close to the border. The whole family gathered together, one table for adults, one table for a group of children led by one, and the family reunion dinner was very lively.

Adults swapped glasses and talked about the year's harvest in the dining room, while children set up tables in the living room to eat and play. Yiyi is the eldest granddaughter, and the second sister in the family, the eldest aunt's daughter is nine years apart, and she has to take care of all the younger siblings at this table. And for Yiyi, looking at the youngest brother who was eating and running around the table, this meal was very "lively".

After eating, everyone sat in the living room and chatted, and the mother asked them to take out gifts one by one and distribute them to everyone.

"Our family has grown up one by one! You see, when we go to school and come back, we know how to buy so many gifts for everyone. ”

One by one touched his nose and smiled, and when he looked up, he saw that his grandfather had opened the gift and was squinting at himself suspiciously. I was shocked and looked at the gift again: a cigarette. It must be a specialty of my hometown, right?

The whole family chatted for a while, and the aunts and uncles took their children and prepared to go home.

According to the old rules, the daughter-in-law celebrates the New Year at her in-law's house in Chinese New Year's Eve, and only returns to her mother's house with her husband and the child on the second day of the new year. Grandpa's family left only the father and uncle's two families, plus the grandfather, a total of seven.

was pestered by the daughter of the uncle's family, and took her sister and two girls upstairs one by one, the little girl's head was full of yearning for college, and the questions asked to Yiyi were also strange.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the whole family sat in the living room while watching TV and making dumplings. My sister watched TV with my grandfather, my mother rolled the skin with my aunt, and I made dumplings with my father and uncle one by one.

At 7:40 the dumplings were put into the pot, and at 8 o'clock, the whole family gathered around the table on time to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

It's night, and everyone's mobile phones are ringing non-stop.

After sending the blessing text message, I called Shang Lin, Xiaoxue, and Man Yu to send blessings, and they also received a call from Teng Can from Kyoto. One person stood in the starry courtyard in a coat, laughed and chatted with Teng Can for a while, and talked to his uncle and grandfather for a while.

I put away my phone and looked up at the bright starry sky that is rarely seen in the city now, and this moment is rare to relax and be happy.

was intoxicated with the beauty of this time, and suddenly a pair of small hands holding flower cannons were wrapped around his waist.

"Sister, let's go with the cannon!"

At twelve o'clock, firecrackers are ringing out, and the New Year is officially here!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yiyi and his parents went out to worship the New Year.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the two aunts returned to their parents' house with their children. There are more children, and the house is naturally more cheerful and lively.

Mother and a few aunts prepared a table of wine and food, and the men began to put together the wine.

If you drink more, you will talk more, and if you talk more, you will have more people and things that love to compare on weekdays.

After the meal, my mother's face was a little unhappy.

In the middle of the afternoon, after the aunts had left, my mother and father were talking in the room, and I heard my mother's choked voice through the crack in the door.

"Not only do we do our best, but we also contribute money and effort! Why do they ······?"

Later, one by one, I saw my mother go out of the room with her bag, saying that she was going to my grandmother's house.

There are only grandfathers, fathers, and 113 people left in the family.

In the living room, Grandpa sat on the sofa with some annoyance.

"Is this the Chinese New Year? Does this still look like a New Year? Who will you show your face? You might as well not come back!"

"Dad, be careful of your blood pressure!" Seeing that his grandfather was angry, his father hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. "Today, in the second year of junior high school, she should also go back to her parents' house to have a look. ”

"See, you're all going to see it in the future! Don't leave any of them here!"

One by one, they silently went up to the second floor.

She couldn't understand why her grandfather had become more and more irritable since her grandmother's death, especially when dealing with her father.

Whether it was an aunt or an uncle, grandpa always laughed with them with a pleasant face, but when he saw his father, he put on a stern expression and was a little harsh in his words. My father is an old-fashioned and polite person, not to mention that my grandfather's health is not very good now, and my father, who is a doctor, is naturally doubly filial.

But looking at the contempt or ridicule that the rest of the family inadvertently showed, my mother finally didn't endure it anymore.

One by one, I never understand that they are all a family, why did they become so close and alien as they are now?
