Chapter 70: Chinese New Year
86_86276 "Yueyue, what's wrong with you?" "Girls are the most gossipy, not to mention their good friends, Wang Zhuo, who completed the task and took the light bulb with his brother, called Zhao Yue almost as soon as he thought about it, but the call was not answered for a long time, which made her full of excitement gradually cool to apprehension. Is something wrong?
At this time, Zhao Yue had already washed her face with cold water, sat on the bed with her legs crossed, her face was expressionless, and she didn't confide in her friend on the other side of the phone*, it's just that the home is too deserted, she just wants to have a voice to accompany her, but anyone who doesn't answer for such a long time will feel that something is wrong, so Zhao Yue swallowed his saliva and replied: "Panpan thank you today, I'm fine, Qin Feng said I'm too young, don't think about this." â
"I'm scared of you," Wang Pan breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed himself and lay on the sofa, and pulled a banana from the table and peeled it with his teeth, and said inarticulately: "This is normal, he is a year old, we are only in the first year of junior high school, I count how many years I am different...... Three years old, wait for our high school entrance examination, he is just taking the college entrance examination, and then he will have a proper long-distance relationship. â
To be honest, Wang Pan is not optimistic about Zhao Yue's relationship, but Qin Feng is really good, it is not surprising that Zhao Yue will like him, and she only hopes not to make her sad when she helps her. When the time comes, how busy they will be with their studies, how can they have time to fall in love.
"Well, let's talk about this then, anyway, I won't give up now, what do you think of Xia Ruo?" Zhao Yue changed her posture and stretched out her numb body: "Qin Feng is very concerned about her. â
"Xia Ruo? Just learn to order the piano. Wang Pan knew that Zhao Yue didn't like Xia Ruo very much, so he didn't say much, and tried his best to explain: "If you come from the countryside, you don't know that she is a little childish, you see that she plays with Lin Jiayin and Hu Ying all day long, typical of small groupism." Brother Qin Feng treats her well, not because she is Grandma Liu Ya's apprentice, Grandma Liu Ya is too, so many people, why do they accept her as an apprentice? "A good girlfriend is like this, anxious about what a girlfriend is anxious about. However, she never figured out Liu Ya's acceptance of Xia Ruo as an apprentice.
"En, I know, let's talk about this later, it's almost the New Year, don't forget to write your homework." After saying this, Zhao Yue's face soothed a lot, and he listened to Wang Pan's nagging for a while where to go to play on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he hung up the phone and continued to sit there in a daze, his eyes were dilated and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Xia Mingming, hurry up and finish your homework, don't look at those foods." Xia Ruo brought the fruit plate on the table to the back room, and finally cut off Xia Mingming's gaze on it.
Xana is running laps in the yard, lest she fall behind when school starts.
Xia Ming pouted a little unhappily, really annoying, tomorrow will be the first day of junior high school, who wants to write homework in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhao Lan and Xia Yu are breading dumplings in the kitchen, this year they are harmonious at home and abroad, and several daughters are more sensible than the other, I don't know if they feel anything, sister-in-law Yang Qinqin is also a lot kinder to them, at least she hasn't added anything to her recently, and the smile on Zhao Lan's face has not been broken.
The eldest and the second daughter wanted to help and were also kicked out by her, listening to them eating, drinking, and playing in the East House, and they were busy here and happy.
The two of them were not idle in their hands, and they were also talking in their mouths: "Heavy rain, I am thinking about when to repair the two rooms in the East House, the three of them should be spacious even if they live in one room when they go home for the New Year, and when Dad is older, there is a place to live in our house." â
She had planned it early in the morning, two east houses, three girls, and one father-in-law, but the house was built when the second daughter Xia Ruo was born, and now it has been more than ten years, and it should have been repaired a long time ago.
"It's all up to you, you see when it's appropriate, I'll take a leave of absence and find someone to help you figure it out." Xia Yu put the dumplings wrapped in his hand on the plate, and the neat ingots were lined up, almost all of his cooking skills were learned in the army, and now he can remember to learn it when he does it.
"When did you want to be a soldier again?" Zhao Lan knew what he was thinking when she looked at him, and patted him angrily: "If you want to get together for the New Year, you can get together and call Company Commander Zhao to pay a New Year's greeting." â
"Yes, my wife speaks, how dare the little one disobey." Xia Yu made a rare joke.
Zhao Lan burst out laughing, "Poor mouth, this year's Dad is celebrating the New Year at my sister-in-law's, Fang Fang said that he won't send dumplings, should we send them today or tomorrow?" â
"Send it tomorrow, it's the same as in previous years." Sending dumplings to greet the New Year on the first day of the new year is a rural custom, but since Fang Fang and Yang Qinqin have a bad relationship, they have not sent moon cakes to that side on August 15, and they will naturally not send dumplings during the New Year. Rural people believe this, and they suddenly don't send it, and for the family who was sent, the meaning is not very good, and it seems to have the meaning of a curse, so the relationship between the two families can only be more stiff.
Zhao Lan's family can't do that, at least the relationship between the two families is okay now, and the dumplings are mainly given to the father-in-law, and as a daughter-in-law, people can't be picky.
"That's okay, let Ruo Ruo and Ming Ming send it." Speaking of this, Zhao Lan laughed again, if it was the one who sent dumplings, it was obviously the one who collected the New Year's money, and she did it every year.
"It's fun, don't forget to wrap a red envelope for them, the children are quite sensible." Xia Yu saw that his wife's tears of laughter came out, and he unconsciously laughed.
"It's up to you to say that." Zhao Lan put the last dumpling away, and went out to prepare the plate for tomorrow's dumplings, not forgetting to tell her three daughters: "If you and Ming Ming go to deliver dumplings tomorrow, don't get up late, wash your face first at night, and you can't pour water on the ground before noon tomorrow......"
The house has been plastered with red couplets, the doors and windows have been wiped clean by the daughters, the corn has long been threshed, and the yard is neat and clean, and it is pleasant to look at.
The days will always get better and better, and she is very confident about tomorrow.
After eating dumplings, the family cleaned up for a while and then arrived at the Chinese New Year's Eve Spring Festival Gala, and the family ate around the table and watched the Spring Festival Gala, which was particularly joyful.
Xia Na Xia Ruoxia obviously couldn't hold on, so she went to sleep in the bedroom at eleven o'clock, Zhao Lan accompanied her husband to see the last while packing up her things, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard around the village at twelve o'clock, which was the first shot of the New Year.
In order to please a good omen, the Xia family is naturally no exception, at the moment when Xia Yu arrived at twelve o'clock, a large string of firecrackers was lit, surrounded by neighbors who acted the same as him, and there was no situation where zĂ i affected his rest.
The silent night sky full of stars is even more beautiful under the embellishment of fireworks and firecrackers, and the deep night witnesses everyone's joy and hope for a better life.
The sound of firecrackers lasted for a long time, Xia Yu got up at five o'clock to cook dumplings, this pot of dumplings not only has to be eaten at home, but also sent to the east, but also to be early, sent over before the other party eats, the dumplings are in the pot, the firecrackers prepared outside sounded, and Zhao Lan also went to call the three daughters to get up.
It was not yet six o'clock, and it was still gray when he looked out of the window, Xia Mingming was very reluctant to shrink his head into the warm quilt, but when he heard the temptation of pressing the New Year's money, he still got up in a tangled way. After seeing the fifty yuan in Zhao Lan's hand, the entanglement on his face immediately turned into excitement: "Mom, you have made a fortune, is this the New Year's money for us?" "I used to give one dollar, but one year she gave five yuan after inking for a long time, and now it's fifty all of a sudden, and happiness doesn't come too suddenly.
"Ah, I took the wrong one, wait for me to change it for you." Zhao Lan looked at the money in her hand and turned around and walked out.
Xia Mingming, who had just put on his coat, immediately hugged Zhao Lan's waist and stretched out his hand to take the money: "How can you take it back." Xia Mingming immediately put the money in his pocket, this is the first New Year's money this year, it is off to a good start, it seems that this dumpling will be sent down, and he will collect a lot of New Year's money.
Xia Na and Xia Ruo are also fifty per person, and the two of them put it away with a smile. Then Xia Ruo took a tray and took a few plates of steaming dumplings with Xia Mingming to the east.
ps: On a business trip, I was almost ...... late.
