Luo Ying and Liu Mei began to prepare early in the morning, and they were very busy.
"Xiaofan, don't make trouble here, you can almost pick up the little demon and their family." Luo Ying saw that Wu Xiaofan was helping more and more here, so he simply drove him away.
Rao Jing didn't live at Wu Xiaofan's house because his father was at home and his sister was also home.
When Wu Xiaofan heard this, he was embarrassed in his heart, and the person standing next to him was still mercilessly laughing, even Yaoyao was like this.
"Uncle is really useless, not as powerful as Yaoyao, you see how clean Yaoyao swept the floor." Yaoyao sneered: "Just now Yaoyao also helped two grandfathers paste Spring Festival couplets. ”
"Haha...... Laughed at me. Wu Xia couldn't stand up with a smile even more: "Xiaofan, look at your status in this family, even Yaoyao looks down on you now." ”
"Yaoyao, is my uncle really as useless as you say?" Wu Xiaofan asked: "It seems that I want to give a red envelope next night, do you think my uncle wants to give Yaoyao a red envelope?" ”
Hearing the word red envelope, Yaoyao immediately began to surrender, and said seriously: "Uncle is the most powerful, uncle is the most powerful in the world, even more powerful than my mother." ”
This time it was Wu Xia's turn to be dumbfounded, feeling that this retribution was coming too quickly.
"Yaoyao, wait for my red envelope, do you still want it?" Wu Xia also threatened, but Wu Xiaofan didn't care about this, glanced at Wu Xia with provocative eyes, and then left with a sigh and picked up his father-in-law.
……
Wu Xiaofan took Rao Jing's family over, and the whole family went out to greet them, and the mother-in-law and father-in-law called Rao Jing was happy and shy.
"Old company commander." Wu Lei went up and saluted Rao Dashan.
"Shi, when you first joined the army, you were very optimistic about you, I really didn't see the wrong person, good." Rao Dashan saw Wu Lei, said with a smile, and punched Wu Lei heavily in the chest.
"This is all the credit of the old company commander, and it is all the good cultivation of the old company commander." Wu Lei said.
"Don't say it's useless, you know I don't like this, why are you like this now." Rao Dashan waved his hand and said, "If you don't work hard yourself, no matter how much I cultivate, it will be a piece of waste." ”
"Huh!" Wu Lei smiled.
The conversation between the two made everyone confused for a while, except for the two parties present, Wu Xiaofan may know a little.
"In-laws, isn't it strange?" Rao Dashan said: "Wu Lei used to be my soldier, I was his company commander, when I went to pick up soldiers, I saw at a glance that your son was planted, it was a piece of material for being a soldier, and it was as I expected, you see, now there is a lot of talent." ”
patted Wu Lei's chest and continued, "The soldiers I brought out, haha......"
Rao Dashan looked very happy, no wonder, he brought a lot of soldiers, but there are not many people like Wu Lei, and Wu Lei is enough for him to brag for a lifetime.
"Ahh In-laws, then we are really too fateful, this is considered to be a kiss and a kiss. Wu Xingguo was very surprised, not only him, but everyone.
"Thank you so much for seeing our Xiao Lei at that time, you don't know, he was at home at the time, I couldn't control it at all, and in the end there was no way, so I sent him to the army."
"Haha, boy, it's normal to be naughty, you see now, isn't it good?" Rao Dashan smiled and said, "If he wasn't naughty at that time, I wouldn't have looked down on him." ”
"In-laws, little demon, and Xiaojing, let's sit down first, talk inside, and the meal will be ready immediately."
Wu Xingjun saw that everyone was standing at the door chatting like this, and it was not a thing, so he asked everyone to come in.
After a while, several female comrades began to come out of the kitchen with dishes, and the meal was very rich, all of which were raised and grown by themselves.
Fortunately, the table is big enough, otherwise it would not be able to fit so many dishes.
"Old man, it's time to sacrifice to your ancestors." Liu Mei came out of the kitchen and said.
In Pingshi, there is a custom, that is, the New Year dinner is to let the gods and ancestors eat first, thank them for taking care of the family in the past year, and hope that the family will continue to be safe and smooth in the coming year.
And the dishes used to worship the ancestors are also exquisite, generally six kinds of dishes, chicken, duck and fish, fried vermicelli with bean sprouts, plus another dish, put on the rice, pour good wine, and wait for the gods and ancestors to eat about the same, and start to set off firecrackers.
As soon as Wu Xiaofan heard that he could sacrifice his ancestors, he began to help carry firecrackers, why are children happy during the New Year, it is because there is food and play, even if they make a small mistake, their parents will see it for the sake of the New Year and let them go.
As soon as Yaoyao saw the salute that Wu Xiaofan had brought out, she immediately clapped her hands and followed behind.
"Oh! Fireworks. ”
And Wu Lei was holding a large plate of firecrackers, which was exactly what Yaoyao was afraid of, because it was too loud, and after it was ignited, the firecracker residue would shoot out in all directions, which was a bit dangerous.
"Uncle, can you put the firecrackers in your hands away from me, I'm afraid."
For Long Dan, who spent the New Year in Pingshi for the first time, it seems to be novel, and she is very curious about everything, look here, ask there, and want to understand what this means, and it can be seen that she also wants to integrate into this big family as soon as possible.
"Little demon, these bowls of vegetables, placed here, are they sacrificing to ancestors?" Long Dan pointed to the dishes placed at home and asked Rao Jing, these two are the daughters-in-law of the Wu family at the same time, so they quickly formed an alliance, and they are better than best friends.
"That's right, sacrificing ancestors, in Pingshi is very important, it is a very sacred thing, if it was in the past, it was like you just pointed out, if it was seen by the elders, they would say it, because it was impolite." Rao Jing explained.
After Long Dan heard this, he shrunk his neck, as if he was a little scared, and looked around to see if her behavior just now had been discovered, as a daughter-in-law who came to the door for the first time, she always wanted to leave a good impression on her elders.
"It's okay, I'm talking about before." Rao Jing said with a smile.
When the ancestors and the gods ate about the same, Wu Xingguo began to tell Wu Xiaofan and the two brothers that they could set off firecrackers.
Firecrackers, in Pingshi also have to pay attention to, there were no fireworks before, or when you can't afford fireworks, everyone buys a relatively large firecracker, called a large firecracker in the local area, and a small one woven together, it is called a small firecracker.
When sacrificing firecrackers to ancestors, be sure to put a large firecracker first and light a small firecracker.
Wu Lei waited for Wu Xiaofan to light the fireworks and after they rang, he hurriedly lit the small firecrackers around him, which was suddenly deafening, although Yaoyao was afraid of the small firecrackers, but she didn't want to miss the beauty of the fireworks, as long as she covered her ears and stood outside to watch.
But because it was daytime, the special effects of the fireworks couldn't see anything, and Yaoyao was very depressed.
"Uncle, did you buy a fake, why are today's fireworks not beautiful at all." Yaoyao pouted and said to Wu Xiaofan.
Wu Xiaofan didn't know how to explain, and told her that it was because of the light?
"This may be fake, wait for the evening, we'll put it in the evening, and then my uncle will put a real one for you."
The little girl laughed at this time.
After sacrificing to the ancestors, followed by eating, a large family sat down around the table, although it was a little crowded, but it was very warm.
Especially Rao Dashan's family and Long Dan, there may be fewer people in the family, and they may seem a little lonely during the Chinese New Year in the past.
"In-laws, to be honest, I envy all of you, the New Year is to be so lively, otherwise I would feel like a holiday year." Rao Dashan felt something.
