CHAPTER XXXVIII
Layue is a small month, this year is only twenty-nine, not thirty, so on the twenty-eighth day Meng Qingxuan began to get busy, today I want to steam steamed buns to make bean buns, in order to show that she is very capable, Meng Qingyao also got up early in the morning to help, pulling the dough and kneading it all into the appearance of a mouse, this is still learned from her father in her previous life, her father in her previous life was skillful, when she was a child, she would pinch all kinds of small animals when steaming steamed buns, but unfortunately Meng Yao learned to pinch mice.

"Not to mention other groups, it's quite like a thing." Meng Yuan looked at Meng Qingyao's works and hesitated to affirm.
"Of course." Qing Yao's smug little head completely ignored the uncertainty in Meng Yuan's eyes.
"Can you pinch something else, you can't eat all the rats for this big New Year." Meng Qingxuan couldn't get used to the little girl's complacent appearance, and looked at the mouse in a drawer and complained.
Yuan Yuan was also patting his chest excitedly next to him, looking at Meng Qingyao expectantly.
Meng Qingyao smiled awkwardly, and pushed Yuanyuan away: "What are you making all the fun about, you can't even pinch out the mice." ”
Meng Qingxuan looked at his sister's actions with a smile, and a little monkey came out of his hand, and the expression of that action was vivid and round.
Meng Yao opened her small mouth and pointed at the lively steamed bun monkey, falling, what else does her brother can't do, she immediately went to learn it.
"Then I'll have one too." Meng Yuan laughed and watched the two small fights, and also picked up a piece of dough, and soon a lifelike little rabbit appeared in front of Meng Yao's eyes.
So the most unfortunate thing about her family is her, and she doesn't let people live, don't you know how to hide it, don't you know that she just hit a little girl's self-confidence.
Yuanyuan looked at the excitement, and also learned to pull a dough and pinch a peach out, although it was a little weird, but at a glance it was still a peach.
Meng Qingyao's eyes sparkled and she looked at the peaches pinched by Yuanyuan very movingly, fortunately, there was a round cushion at the bottom, so she could only find a sense of accomplishment from Yuanyuan.
The three of them laughed and laughed, and the steamed bean buns were ready. Meng Qingxuan also mixed the dumpling fillings that he was going to eat the next day, and because the time was very empty, he made five or six kinds of fillings and placed them in the warehouse, so that they could eat and wrap at any time.
"Okay, think about what you're going to eat tomorrow." In previous years, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was quite shabby, and this year there are materials, and Meng Qingxuan is full of pride and wants to make all the dishes on the menu.
Meng Yuan said that it didn't matter, as long as it was vegetarian, Meng Qingyao wanted to eat seafood a little, and waved his round paws to say that he wanted to eat anything. Meng Qingxuan waved his hand and ignored this group of people who couldn't help at all, looking for materials to think about the menu.
This is Meng Qingyao's first year in this era, how to arrange it well, she thought that on the Chinese New Year's Eve in her previous life, the family would post a couplet, and some would also paste the blessing character and paste the door god. Immediately took a pile of red paper and went to Meng Yuan. Meng Yuan's character is the best, followed by Meng Qingxuan, and the worst is her, even Yuanyuan is better than her. However, Meng Yuan said that she was still young and had no strength in her wrists, and it would be good to wait until she was older, Meng Qingyao looked at her five short figure sadly, it seemed that her father's favorite thing to say was to wait for you to grow up.
Meng Qingyao took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to find Meng Yuan, who was studying the flower garden that competed for beauty regardless of the season: "Daddy, Daddy, write couplets." “
Before he met Yun Niang, Meng Yuan had no concept of this thing, to be precise, he didn't even have any special concept for the New Year, but after being with Qin Yunxiang, he was always instructed to do this and that, and now he is familiar with it. Every year, the good times are wide, and the years are safe and blessed. Just come at your fingertips.
Meng Qingyao also took the brush and wrote very seriously, this is to be hung on the door, and you can't lose face, but all you remember after thinking about it is to celebrate the New Year with joy and prosperity, and the Lantern Festival is in full swing.
Meng Yuan looked at Meng Qingyao's words, although they were still a little soft, but the structure came out, nodded and praised without hesitation: "The word Tuan Tuan is really good, and the couplets are not bad, and they are quite smooth to read." “
Meng Yao smiled weakly, she should be regarded as the most unqualified plagiarism.
Yuanyuan came over and gestured to Meng Yuan and said that he also wanted to write two, Meng Yuan was the most patient, and he was usually the most patient to teach Yuanyuan, seeing that he was interested, he wrote the word Fu on the square-cut paper, and taught the little monkey seriously.
Yuanyuan held the pen and learned Meng Yuan's strokes, and the effect of writing was very good.
On the twenty-ninth day, Meng Qingxuan got up early and took out Meng Yuan's achievements and pasted them, especially what Meng Qingyao wrote, the two unanimously decided to paste it in the hall, and Meng Yao blushed when he saw the crooked words, and Meng Yuan and Meng Qingxuan also smiled and said yes.
Even An Zhu next door came over the wall to take a look, but the little girl didn't understand, she only felt that she could write very well, so she also praised two sentences, and shouted to write two sentences for her, which made Meng Qingyao blush.
However, on Chinese New Year's Eve today, they are basically preparing for the New Year and rarely go out, and An Zhu was yelled home by Aunt An before he had time to go to the kitchen, and they had to prepare to go to Grandpa An for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
After lunch, Meng Yuan took Yuanyuan to clean up, Meng Qingxuan took Meng Qingyao to the space to cook, there was no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, and he also made a seafood feast for Meng Qingyao. This is what to eat for Chinese New Year's Eve. Now I am not afraid of the cold when I put it in the space. When the dishes are finished and the bread dumplings are started, the Meng family will be able to get started with Meng Qingxuan, fortunately he has few families, otherwise he will be tired to death just by making dumplings. Meng Qingyao took a copper plate and motioned for Meng Qingxuan to wrap it in, looking auspicious.
Before eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Meng Yuan took Meng Qingyao's brothers and sisters to a grave for Qin Yunxiang, Meng Qingyao stood in front of Qin Yunxiang's grave with a complicated heart, couldn't say anything, this woman who should be her predecessor went early, so the novel is a novel, where is there any so-called protagonist aura, in Meng Qingxuan's mouth seems to be omnipotent The woman left this world as well.
Meng Yuan and Meng Qingxuan hurried home after worshipping with solemn faces, at this time there was no rule for going to the grave on Chinese New Year's Eve, and when they left, they didn't know if it was an illusion, Meng Qingyao only felt that there was something déjà vu, and there was nothing but Qin Yunxiang's lonely grave when she looked back.
This is the most sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal eaten by the Meng family, for this meal Meng Qingxuan can be said to have taken out the housekeeping skills, really only the unexpected can not do, looking at the child's smiling face, Meng Yuan rarely did not destroy the atmosphere to a group of undead on the table to overkill, only pretending to look at this table of dishes calmly.
Chinese New Year's Eve is to keep the New Year, and there is no entertainment at this time, halfway Meng Qingyao couldn't bear to take Meng Qingxuan and Yuanyuan back to the space to sleep, and when Meng Qingxuan waited, Meng Qingxuan had to ask her to get up and eat dumplings.
As soon as the time came, the atmosphere that was still quiet suddenly became lively, and every household began to set off firecrackers, Meng Qingyao was still sleepy and was pulled up by Meng Qingxuan, and it was time to eat dumplings. ・
Meng Yuan smiled and hugged the little girl who was still rubbing her eyes and trying to make herself clearer: "It's a new year, I should have given you two New Year's money today, but now the money is in Tuan Tuan's hands, and there will be no red envelopes from this year." Meng Yuan said very frankly, he was not ashamed at all because he couldn't take out the red envelope, he used it to coax the little girl as soon as he had money on him, and now he is really penniless.
"Wait for me to give my father and brother a big red envelope." As soon as Meng Qingyao thought in her heart, three coins appeared in her hand, one for each person, and she didn't even fall into the circle. "Well, in the future, my father and brother will rely on this to make a lot of money with a small amount of money."
Meng Qingxuan poked the little girl's head angrily, hurting this girl in vain: "You little girl who picks the door, you are only a penny for the New Year's money." ”
"Hehe, anyway, you'll have to give it to me later, what's the matter if you have more or less." Meng Qingyao straightened her little body with confidence.
"Tuan Tuan has a point." Meng Yuan smiled and didn't dislike the shabby money.
"Dad, you just continue to spoil this girl, I know, this little girl is a person who only gets in and can't leave, and I don't dare to hand over all the money to you in the future." Meng Qingxuan joked.
"Is my brother going to save private money to marry his daughter-in-law?" Qing Yao stuck out her tongue and grimaced, her tone full of ridicule.
It made Meng Qingxuan's face flush with shame: "What nonsense is the little girl talking about." I don't know the shame at all. ”
Meng Yuan was still happily watching the two children arguing, but when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Does Xuan'er want to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
"What's the matter, Dad, don't talk nonsense like Tuan Tuan." Meng Qingxuan was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick.
"Then I'll be relieved." Meng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
“。。。。” Eh, what the hell are you relieved, Dad, wouldn't it be a little strange for you to say this as a father.
"Xuan'er, you are still young, and your heart is uncertain, don't you want to know." Meng Yuan said seriously.
Meng Qingyao was dumbfounded, always feeling that what his father said was so profound that mortals like her couldn't understand it.
"Tuan Tuan is too, you are young, you still need to follow your father more to learn from the scriptures and set your temperament." Meng Yuan touched the little girl's head with a loving expression, but the words he said were a little terrifying.
Meng Qingyao opened her mouth and couldn't speak, what the hell is it to ask for scriptures, imagining that in the future, she can only stand aside with a heart in front of a table full of delicious food, drooling and chanting Amitabha, a little chilling.
Meng Qingxuan also had a headache, what is the situation now, his father really hasn't learned to look at the atmosphere and speak: "Hehe, the dumplings are good, eat dumplings." ”
Meng Qingyao was not hungry, and after adding her father's terrifying speech just now, she was a little worried and didn't want to eat, Meng Qingxuan could only tease the little girl: "Eat one, you can't skip dumplings for the New Year." Whoever can eat copper coins has a year of good luck. ”
Meng Yuan didn't know what kind of psychological shadow his words had just caused: "Xuan'er is right, Tuan Tuan must eat one, and he is not allowed to be willful." ”
Yuanyuan didn't care whether Meng Qingyao ate it or not, and he didn't put it in his mouth if he didn't care about it, so he ate three of them, and spit out a copper coin.
"I didn't expect to eat the copper coin, but it turned out to be Yuanyuan." Meng Yuan looked surprised.
Yuan Yuan danced with his hands and stuffed it to Meng Yuan as if he was offering a treasure, and with that flattering face, he couldn't bear to look at it directly. I don't know if it's because Meng Yuan eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round, and he has an affinity in his body, just like Yuanyuan was obviously raised by her, but the closest person in the family is Meng Yuan. Meng Qingyao looked a little jealous at that look.
Reluctantly ate a few dumplings, Meng Qingyao nested on the kang and prepared to stay up late, still thinking about his father's words, I don't know how to think of Journey to the West, looking at the round four forks lying on the kang, Meng Qingxuan worked hard to clean up the mess of the night, and suddenly became more congested, and the future was bleak.
