Chapter 14: Chinese New Year (1)

With the sound of more and more firecrackers, the Chinese New Year's Eve was ushered in in a blink of an eye.

In the morning, when Wen An'an opened his eyes, there was no one in the house. Originally, she wanted to take it quietly in bed, but it didn't take long for her to feel abdominal distension and pain, and she wanted to relieve herself. In fact, as a baby, there is no shame in urinating on diapers. But I couldn't accept it in my heart, and I wasn't used to wetting on the cloth, so I had no choice but to hum and chirp in an attempt to attract the attention of adults.

It is estimated that the sound outside is too noisy, and it took a long time before someone opened the curtain from the outside to enter.

When Wen Anze entered the house, he watched his sister shaking her arms on the bed, babbling and muttering. So Wen Anze walked over with a smile, picked her up and said, "An An is awake?" Mom and Dad are busy, big brother will take care of you."

He knew that every morning, his sister would pee when he woke up, so Wen Anze walked directly to the cubicle.

At this time, compared with Wen Anze's calmness and calmness, Wen Anan felt that her face and ears were flushed with shame, thinking that she was naked and her little ass, she felt awkward psychologically. And the awkward consequence is that he was held by Wen Anze for a while and did not move.

Wen Anze stood with his sister in his arms for a while, but he didn't hear a sound. I thought that my sister didn't need to go to the toilet, but just as I was about to lift my sister's pants, I felt An An writhing her body. Wen Anze had no choice but to hold his sister and continue to wait. However, he did not stand like he had just done, but imitated the old man in the village, and made a 'shhhh

Hearing Wen Anze's 'shhhh An adult who thinks she is twenty-four or five, she actually wants a doll to help solve it. In order to restore 'dignity' and to end this embarrassment as soon as possible. Wen Anan had to keep comforting herself, I am a baby, I am a baby......

I don't know if Lu Dao's hypnosis was too successful, or Wen Anze's 'shhhh

After solving the physiological problem, Wen Anze carried his sister back to the bed, helped her put on a cotton jacket and cotton pants, poured some hot water from the stove in the house, and wiped Wen Anan's face after wetting it with a towel. When everything is cleaned up, Wen's in the kitchen will be called to feed.

After feeding, Wen didn't care about taking care of Wen An'an, but after handing her over to Wen Anze, he went out to get busy again.

The Chinese New Year is the happiest thing for children, but for adults, it is indeed the most tiring thing. Wen Dad and Wen Niang were busy in and out of the house almost without touching the ground, and they were not idle until after lunch.

After lunch, the family gathered around the stove to drink tea and chat. At this time, Wen Anhao, who was restless on the stool, couldn't sit still any longer, stood up with a pout, walked up to Daddy Wen, and said eagerly: "Dad, it's time to paste the Spring Festival couplets"

After speaking, he was afraid that Wen Qing'an would not agree, so he hurriedly ran to the study to bring over the Spring Festival couplets, door gods, paste and other things, and dragged Wen's father's sleeve and walked out.

Wen Qing'an looked at the monkey's anxious second son, nodded his head with a smile, took the things from his son's hand again, and beckoned Wen Anze to walk out of the gate.

When the father and son left, Wen also carried Wen An'an in his arms and came to the kitchen.

Wen Anan was still wondering what Wen Niang was doing. Wen took out two small pots of good size, as well as a shovel and a spoon, from the cupboard, and took out a small pile of firewood from the firewood, and then moved it to the center of the courtyard in two or three times.

After everything was ready, Wen looked up at the sky, perhaps sensing that the hour was almost up, and then used a flint to light the firewood in the center of the courtyard, and the red and warm flames burned bigger and bigger, as if to warm the whole yard.

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, Wen Anze and Wen Anhao poked their heads in from outside the courtyard. When he saw that the firewood had been burned, Wen Anhao immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Mother, you don't wait for us"

Before he finished speaking, he and Wen Anze threw down Father Wen, who was still pasting Spring Festival couplets, and hurriedly ran in. Then the two picked up the spatula placed on the grinding plate, and beat it around the fire, shouting while knocking: "New Year's Run, New Year's Run", after shouting for a while, they will take out some children's playing firecrackers from their pockets and throw them into the fire, making a crackling and popping sound.

This time. Wen Anan realized that this is the legendary 'New Year'. Looking at the two brothers who were tired of this, listening attentively, more and more shouts of 'catching up with the New Year', Wen Anan felt that he was also infected by the joy in that voice.

In the sky above the whole village, the crisp shouts of children and the sound of crackling firecrackers all indicate to people that the new year is coming.

When the lights are in hand, families begin to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dinners.

Because the dishes are basically cooked, you can eat them as long as they are fried in the pan, so now the whole family just sits around the table, talking and laughing about dumplings and wontons.

After Wen Anhao finished wrapping a dumpling, he stretched out his head to see Wen Anze's results, and when he saw the open-filled dumplings in his brother's hand, he gloated and laughed: "Hahaha, brother, you don't need to put the stuffing in your dumplings, you can eat the dough directly in the pot."

Wen Anze heard his brother's words, and pinched the edge of the dumplings angrily, but still didn't glue the opening shut. I had to raise my head and look at Wen Anhao viciously and said, "You think it's good if you wrap it, you don't ......"

Just wanted to sarcastically mock his younger brother's dumplings, he saw Wen Anhao showing off his round white and fat dumplings and stretched them over, although they were not as beautiful as his father's and mother's, but they were also presentable, Wen Anze's face suddenly darkened.

Wen Anhao saw his brother's unsightly face, but he became even happier. Usually no matter what he does, Wen Anze is one step ahead of him, which makes him both envious and jealous. But now I find that this brother is not as good as himself, just thinking about it, Wen Anhao feels that his heart is floating.

Wen Anze looked at his younger brother's appearance, and felt that he was holding a breath in his heart. He didn't want to be laughed at by this nervous brother for his poor hands-on ability.

But when I looked down at the dumplings in my hand, and the row of 'open smiles' that had not been processed by my mother, I felt a burst of frustration.

Father Wen looked at the behavior of the two sons and shook his head funny.

Wen Niang put down the dumplings in her hand, grabbed Wen Anze's hand, and taught her little by little: "The index finger is more forward than the thumb, and then push the dumpling skin forward and fold it slightly like this, and push it straight to the top of the right end to let go."

Wen Anhao saw his mother go into battle in person, pouted and just wanted to shout that it was unfair, but was gently slapped on the face by Wen Qing'an's hand. Wen Anhao immediately said dissatisfied: "Obviously I am my younger brother, when I say him, he should let me, not let my mother coax him"

Wen Qing'an listened to his second son say that he didn't know where the crooked reasoning came from, and laughed. Zhilu Daowen Anhao was not really angry, he just complained, so he smiled and nodded: "En, since your mother coaxed your brother, then your father came to coax An Hao, how about it?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up a washed copper coin from the side and put it in the dumpling filling to be wrapped in Wen Anhao's hand: "This copper coin is in our An Hao's dumplings, and you will be able to eat it later."

Seeing that there was only one copper coin per year being put in his dumplings, Wen Anhao didn't care about the tangled emotions just now, hehe laughed, and muttered while wrapping his hands: "I have to make a good mark, I didn't eat it last year, this year must be mine" and then remembered something, and laughed like a demon.

And Wen Anze, who was on the side, looked at his brother's mark on the dumpling, and rolled his eyes slyly. Then he turned his head and made the same mark on the dumplings in his hand. Who said that if you put it in your own dumplings, you can eat it! You won't be allowed to eat the jackpot this year.

Father Wen and Wen Niang saw the actions of their two sons clearly, did not stop or remind, just smiled and lowered their heads and continued to hold the dumplings in their hands.

When it was about the time to get busy, the whole family finally sat around for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Even Wen An'an, who couldn't eat, was held in Wen's arms.

Although there are only four people in the whole family who can eat, Father Wen and Wen Niang did make a table of good dishes.

Braised carp, white chopped chicken, braised lion's head, egg purse, fried tofu, cabbage bacon, peanuts, vinegar and silver sprouts, pork rib soup, eight-treasure rice, rice wine and some snacks.

Looking at the table full of talents, Wen Anan was drooling while watching from the side. I didn't have such a resentment at that time, I had to start as a baby. You can't eat it, you can only watch it, it's really torturous.

"Babbling" Wen Anan beckoned to the food on the table, and then looked up at Wen's, "Mother, let's discuss, let me taste it too"

The family watched Wen An'an babbling towards the table for a while, and then turned their heads to look at everyone babbling. The gluttony on that face made everyone laugh.

When a meal is eaten, there is talk and laughter, so happy. However, after reaching the end, Wen An'an did not taste the taste of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, Wen Anhao didn't eat the dumpling with the copper plate.

When the family finished eating and put away the dishes, they sat around the table and chatted, planning to celebrate the New Year together.

When Wen Dad Wen Niang was chatting, Wen Anze, Wen Anhao, you push me, I push you, and Wen Anze stood up in the end, blushing and said to Wen Dad Wen Niang: "Dad, mother, my brother and I will give you New Year's greetings."

Wen An'an couldn't understand what the two brothers were going to look like, and tilted his head strangely to see what the two were going to do next.

Wen Anze and Wen Anhao, who finished speaking, jumped off the stool and put the cushion at Wen Dawen's feet. first bowed to Wen Dad and Wen Niang three times, and then knelt down and kowtowed three times side by side.

After a series of actions were completed, Wen Anze stretched out his hand a little twisted and said, "Father, mother, I wish you every year and today."

Wen Anhao said very politely, and his two hands with a smile stretched out in front of Wen Dad and Wen Niang: "Dad, mother, I wish you good health and all the best"

Wen Anan realized that these two people were trying to make money in disguise. But then again, isn't the New Year's money supposed to be given on the first day of junior high school?

Wen Anan is not the only one who understands the intentions of the two. However, Wen Qing'an looked at the two sons with an uncertain expression and said, "What are you reaching out for?"

This sentence asked, Rao is Wen Anhao's cheekiness was also blushed, and the two stood there and refused to speak. Wen Qing'an stared at the little faces of the two of them with red apples, and only after a while did he clap his palms, and suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that I want to press the New Year's money." But on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are red envelopes, and you will pay New Year's greetings on the 30th night, and I haven't prepared it."

Hearing his father say this, Wen Anhao immediately jumped up and shouted: "Obviously last year, you said that you would give it for thirty nights, why has it changed again this year?" ”

Wen looked at Wen Anze, who was anxious, and Wen Anhao, who pursed his cheeks, and slapped his father-in-law's arm with a smile: "Don't tease them"

Wen Qing'an also felt that it was too much to know that Lu Dao was not good, so he and Wen took out two red envelopes from each of their arms and handed them to Wen Anze and Wen Anhao.

The brothers happily took the red envelope and were about to open it with their heads down. I heard Wen Qing'an's gloating voice coming from above: "Do you want An An to give you a copy too?"

Wen Anze and Wen Anhao raised their heads and looked at Wen An'an in the direction of Wen Qing'an's finger, and then they reacted, this little girl had been in her mother's arms just now. Then isn't it equivalent to kowtowing to this girl!

Wen Anan looked at the expressions of the two brothers who had eaten flies, and grinned at them very unkindly. How? Sister, I'm twenty-five, and I can still be worshiped by you.

"Mother, why don't you stop us" Wen Anhao came back to his senses and shouted aggrievedly to the Wen family.

Wen Shi spread out his hands helplessly, and said with an innocent expression: "I want to say it, but before I can speak, you knelt down, and I can't help it."

Wen Anhao held his head with both hands, squatted down in annoyance, and shouted: "It's a loss, it's a big loss."

Wen Anze pinched Wen Anan's little face and pretended to threaten: "After watching, the eldest brother will make up for this loss."

Looking at his mother who looked down at him gently, looking at Wen Anze's father with a smile, although he threatened himself, the eldest brother who was doting in his eyes, the second brother who hugged his head and talked to himself, Wen Anjue, the confusion and helplessness that came from crossing have been replaced by these gentleness, doting, and love.

At this moment, she can finally leave the past behind and just want to be their Wen An'an
