Chapter 167: Celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve
The next day is the 29th day of the lunar month, which is this year's Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the morning, after washing up, Huang Chunying took the initiative to go to the kitchen to work.
As soon as Niu Tiangou got up, he received blessing text messages from Jin Feifei, Dr. Xue Lian, and Liu Sisi, and after he replied one by one, he received a greeting call from Bai Lisha, of course he didn't dare to say that he returned to his hometown with Huang Chunying, so he could only lie and say that he was on duty in the store.
Fortunately, Huang Chunying was not by her side, if she heard Bai Lisha's delicate voice and saw his coaxing appearance without blushing, I don't know how she would feel?
Putting down the phone, he sat on the edge of the bed and smoked a cigarette, then went outside to the toilet, and when he returned to the kitchen to wash, Huang Chunying was boiling porridge.
"What, you like to drink porridge?" Niu Tiangou asked. He likes to stir-fry a few dishes, drink some wine, and then have some food.
"It's for your mother. She has a bad stomach and should drink something thin, warm and warm, which is good for the stomach. Huang Chunying replied while busy, "The rice is almost cooked, you wash some vegetables, and I will fry them immediately." β
This mother-in-law is really thoughtful.
After washing, Niu Tiangou hurriedly washed some green vegetables, cut them, and then handed them to her.
Seeing her stir-frying, with an apron tied around her waist, looking like a little housewife, Niu Tiangou stood next to her in a daze.
This Huang Chunying is indeed a big beauty, and even the posture of stir-frying is so elegant. Her graceful figure, coupled with her charming face, and her beautiful curves outline a delicate and hearty body, she is simply a living angel and a fairy who descends to earth.
To have such a sexy, charming and empathetic beauty by her side, cooking and washing for herself every day, what do you want in this life? At this moment, he really had a strong urge to marry her. However, what will her parents think when they know that she is the foreman of the hotel's KTV private room lady?
When Niu Tiangou was thinking like this, his father came back from the street, carrying couplets, firecrackers and other items in his hand, Niu Tiangou quickly took it, and then helped Huang Chunying bring the food to the table.
Huang Chunying untied the apron around her waist and helped her mother out of the room. When my mother saw the table full of food, she said apologetically: "Ahem, this child, you are a guest, how can I ask you to serve us." Let me make lunch. β
"Mom, when you get better, we'll come back to serve you." Huang Chunying smiled, turned around, and said, "You sit down first, I'll go serve you porridge and see if it suits your appetite." β
After that, everyone started drinking and eating. My mother drank a big bowl of porridge and said continuously: "This porridge is well boiled, sweet ......"
It seems that Huang Chunying's efforts have not been in vain, and it can be heard from her mother's words that her mother has a good impression of this diligent and sweet-mouthed Huang Chunying, and began to silently accept her as a "daughter-in-law", Niu Tiangou couldn't help but wink at Huang Chunying.
β¦β¦
After breakfast, Huang Chunying quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed the dishes, and her mother stood up strongly, ready to boil the batter (batter) and paste the couplet.
In the past, when Niu Tiangou was at home, the couplets were all red paper bought by his father, and Niu Tiangou personally wrote them, which was nothing more than to write something like "the days increase the years, the people increase their longevity, the spring is full of blessings", "the business is prosperous, and the wealth is prosperous to reach the three rivers". For the past two years, my father bought from the market, because not only did he save the trouble of buying paper and ink, but also the couplets he bought back were beautifully printed, and some were accompanied by simple pictures.
Dad first soaked the old Spring Festival couplets with water in front of the door, and then scraped them off little by little with a shovel, and after cleaning, Huang Chunying had already come out with the paste that had been boiled with his mother.
Niu Tiangou took the couplet that his father bought, brushed the paste, pasted it at the front door, the back door, and the door of the house, and pasted the calligraphy and painting of "Fortune and Treasure" behind the shrine, and pasted the door god above the gate, and pasted a small banner of "peace in and out" in the middle, and pasted "five grains and abundant harvest" on the grain hoard, and then pasted "six animals are prosperous" and "chickens and ducks are flocked" in front of the pigsty and chicken coop......
After a period of busyness, the house inside and outside the house took on a new look, a festive atmosphere.
After finishing, Huang Chunying washed the paste basin, sat down to chat with her mother, and sometimes smiled and echoed a few words to make her mother happy.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, my mother and Huang Chunying were busy preparing dinner again, and the second brother and sister-in-law came over, and they came to pick everyone up and go to their place for a reunion dinner.
In the countryside, after the father and son separated, they all had their own reunion dinners, and the fathers, sons, brothers and concubines invited each other.
Mom and Dad, Niu Tiangou and Huang Chunying all came over with their younger brothers and daughters-in-law.
The dishes on the table of the second and third brothers were all prepared sumptuously, and two things were the same: a large carp and two large plates of dumplings. It is probably a homonym of "fish" and "yu", symbolizing "more than every year"; And "dumplings" and "cross" homonym, take the meaning of "alternating between the old and the new", and the dumplings are shaped like ingots, symbolizing "making a fortune in the New Year, ingots are rolling".
Parents were arranged by the second brother to the second brother's table, and Niu Tiangou and Huang Chunying were pulled to the third brother's table by the third brother's daughter-in-law.
Subsequently, the second and third brothers lit the firecrackers in front of the door, and the reunion dinner began.
For a time, the house was steaming, the two tables of wine and food were fragrant, the cups were staggered, the sittings were noisy, and they were happy.
After a few glasses of wine, the second brother's face was full of red light, and he seemed to be a little drunk, stood up and shook the wine glass, and said to the adjacent table: "Sister-in-law, on behalf of the whole family, I wish you and the eldest brother an early marriage, and your parents are still waiting to hold their grandson." β
The third brother and sister-in-law all laughed secretly.
After the second brother finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Huang Chunying was stunned for a moment, stood up with a flush on her face, and changed the topic: "I wish you all a happy New Year, and I also wish my nieces and nephews new learning and progress." With that, he took a sip.
"It's done, it's done." The third brother and sister-in-law hurriedly urged with a smile. They knew from yesterday when they had a reunion dinner that the new "sister-in-law" could drink.
"Drink, drink!" When the two nephews saw their mother urging, they also whispered, which made the two old men laugh too.
In this atmosphere of laughter, Niu Tiangou and Huang Chunying felt the strong affection between brothers and sisters, and the two old men also enjoyed the joy of family.
This reunion dinner was eaten until dark.
In rural areas, there is a habit of keeping the New Year, that is, staying up until midnight on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, commonly known as "staying up Chinese New Year's Eve".
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the family sat in the second brother's room to watch the evening party "Chinese New Year's Eve", because the second brother had just bought a color TV.
The effect of color TV and black and white TV is really very different,Bright colors,Colorful,Parents while watching,While sighing again and again,Now science and technology are becoming more and more developed,The standard of living is getting better and betterγ
The family watched and chatted, and the nieces and nephews unknowingly leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep, and the brothers and daughters-in-law hurriedly sent them to sleep.
I saw it all the way through the night. At this time, the sound of firecrackers in the village and nearby villages began to explode, first from less to more, and finally more and more densely, like fried beans, like cooking porridge, like boiling ......
Villagers who have worked hard all year are welcoming the New Year with the sound of thunderous firecrackers.
Mom and Dad hurried home and set off firecrackers, and the second and third brothers also lit a small fire in front of the door, took out firecrackers, cupola and fireworks.
For a time, the firelight shook and the firecrackers exploded, like the rumbling of cannons, like bursts of thunder; The screams sounded, and the fireworks soared into the sky, like a hundred flowers blooming, like a peacock opening the screen. This flickering fire, diffuse gunsmoke, earth-shaking sound, and brilliant fireworks pushed the lively atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve to the most!
The nieces and nephews were woken up by the sound of firecrackers and also got up. The nieces set off fireworks one after another next to them, and the two nephews were waving small fireworks sticks and flying in the starlight, while playing and jumping around.
The firelight reflected Huang Chunying's excited cheeks, and it also reminded Niu Tiangou of his childhood......
