When grandpa came back in the evening, he was very happy when he heard the news, so he asked grandma to fry two dishes and drink wine with his uncle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And after the grandmother ate, she asked Qi Yan to call Qi's father and mother to report the good news. Qi Yan pursed his lips and called slowly, it was his mother who answered the phone, and the two of them chatted casually, that is, have you eaten, what kind of food are you eating, and other non-nutritious topics. Then Grandma Qi Yan took it and said, "Mother Yan'er, let me tell you good news, guess what good news it is." ā
"Mother, why is the good news so mysterious?"
"Let me tell you, Yan'er she contributed to other people's books, and then she wrote stories in people's photos and gave money, guess how much?"
"What, Yan'er has published a book! How much money was given, how could she publish a book as a child? Qi's mother asked in disbelief.
"It's out, people have written to me, and I know it in my heart, and there is a reward of 500 yuan."
"What, 500 yuan is so much? What books did she come out of? Mother, you let Yan'er answer the phone, I'll ask her. ā
"Hey, Mom." Qi Yan continued.
"Yan'er, listen to your grandmother tell me that you have published a book, and I have given you money, what kind of book have you published?"
Qi Yan looked confused, when did he publish the book?
I knew that my grandmother said that it was not good to add oil and vinegar, so I said like this, "No, it's either a book, or I have nothing to write a fairy tale, and then I send it to someone, and I was hired, and the 500 is the manuscript fee." ā
"Oh, I really thought you published a book, that's not bad, you give your milk the money, and then ask your milk when you use the money, you can't put it yourself." Qi's mother instructed.
"Okay, I know."
"Call your grandmother, I'll talk to your grandmother."
Grandma Qi chatted with Qi's mother again after the phone was settled. The two women who are not very close to each other are here because the children have a good conversation.
Early the next morning, Qi Yan went to the village credit union with her grandmother after dinner to deposit money in her passbook, and saw the 660 on the passbook, she was really excited, and she was one step closer to the rich, you must know that the current 600 is more than 10,000 in the future, can you not be happy.
When I got home, my grandfather was already cooking meat in a big pot, first cleaned the pig's head, and then put it in the pot and put the ingredients in the pot to cook, and after cooking, take it out and decompose it, pig ears, pig tongue, and pork face meat are all different dishes.
After boiling the pig's head, it is to cook the pork bones, mainly to boil the ribs, and when they are fried after cooking, they are cooked relatively quickly.
And then there are two chickens and two ducks doing the same thing.
After finishing it, it was already noon, so I made a few dishes with cooked meat, cooked porridge, and distilled steamed buns. After eating, the adults were not idle, so they began to fry fish, croquettes, and hemp leaves and twist flowers. Qi Yan is not idle, he uses his uncle's mobile phone to play music to wrap dumplings, the dumpling filling and skin are all made by grandma, and he didn't wrap a lot of dumplings that are enough for two meals.
I have to complain about the current mobile phone, except for a few pieces of music, it is the two games that come with the system, one is Tetris, the other is the snake, and you can't take pictures. In the past two days, Qi Yan has put the game in it badly, and he is tired of playing the game. It's better to read a book, it's better to read a book than to play with a mobile phone, it's better to read a book.
After everything is done, it will be dark in the sky, and grandma will first take a little bit of the fried things to respect God outside, and then take them into the hall to respect the middle hall. Since ancient times, farmers have watched the sky to eat, and they have respected God. Here, every house has hung a central hall, which is a huge painting composed of several landscape paintings and a couplet, which occupies a whole wall, and below is a long and tall table where things are placed, and an incense burner is placed in the middle of the table, and a candle is placed on each side of each side of the incense burner, and incense is burned for the New Year's and festivals. The things were put on the bar by the grandmother. After that's done, people can eat.
Qi Yan went to the kitchen to get a piece of fish to eat, the outer layer of the fish has been fried and burned, it tastes crispy, and the fish inside is still white and tender, which is very catchy. However, Qi Yan didn't eat much, after all, it was all fried, and if he ate too much, he would get fat and get angry, so it was better to eat less.
The next day was the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qi Yan got up early, and after eating, she helped her uncle paste couplets, in fact, she couldn't help anything but stand and watch, but this could not reduce her interest, standing aside to direct her uncle, a moment crooked and a moment off, it was not easy to post a couplet.
Grandma has already started to prepare the dishes for lunch. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here is actually eaten at noon, the earlier the better, and a cannon must be set off before eating. I don't know why, but customs are customs, and there are so many whys. Dinner is to eat dumplings, especially the dumplings are also wrapped in coins, who eats who will have good luck in the coming year, but in fact, because the coins are heavier, often sink to the bottom of the pot and then be broken when the rice is served, so the most blessed to brush the pot.
After pasting the couplet, Qi Yan went to help his grandmother wash and choose vegetables, and his uncle and grandfather went to the street.
People are very industrious, and before eleven o'clock they began to hear the crackling of firecrackers from far to near, and grandma did almost the same. Qi Yan counted eight dishes, and it was enough for four people to eat, and grandma felt that she should make a perfect one, so she asked Qi Yan to take a plate and put the fruits she bought on a plate, and then made a plate of stewed balls, and it was done. The fruit is a kind of sweet, which is often used as a gift during the New Year, that is, the kind of white sugar syrup that is white on the outside and sticky on the inside, and children like to eat it.
Grandma hurriedly brought the food to the hall and asked grandpa to set off the cannon. After everything was done, everyone sat in the hall and started eating, except for Qi Yan for the New Year today, there was wine to drink. The adults drank and ate food and chatted, and Qi Yan ate vegetables and ate vegetables and then vegetables, and in the end he couldn't even eat.
I ate dumplings for dinner, and sure enough, no one got a coin.
After the meal, Uncle Qi gave Qi Yan ten yuan to suppress the New Year's money, and Qi Yan was so beautiful that he couldn't find the door. Then he took Qi Yan to the uncle's house, and still gave the eldest and second and third children New Year's money, but no one only had five yuan. Similarly, the uncle also gave Qi Yan New Year's money, which was only five yuan. Now it is normal to spend five yuan for the New Year, and 20 is the most if you go to relatives. Then Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi took a few children to the front to pay New Year's greetings to their grandparents.
Grandpa and Grandma have been busy burning incense and worshipping Buddha at home. When Qi Yan and the others went, the incense had just been placed in the yard, and several children were watching from the side, and the uncle and uncle were helping on the side. After everything was done, the uncle found a bag and spread it on the ground, let the grandparents sit on the bench and do it, the uncle and the aunt knelt down and kowtowed to the New Year, then the uncle, then a few children, and finally it was Qi Yan's turn. One person said a few auspicious words, and each of the four children received five yuan for the New Year's money, of course, Uncle Qi and Uncle Qi did not drop.
After finishing these, Aunt Qi went home, Uncle Qi and Uncle Qi went out to play cards, and several children wandered around the village to watch fireworks.
I didn't come back until nine o'clock, my grandparents were watching the Spring Festival Gala at my uncle's house, Qi Yan's house didn't have a TV, and I usually went to my uncle's house to watch TV.
Qi Yan didn't care about them, he washed and slept first, but he didn't have enough energy for children. Adults have to stay up all night, wait until two or three o'clock in the morning to come out and hang up the cannon to pick up the New Year, and then go to sleep, sleep for two or three hours and get up to make breakfast.
