Chapter 101: Chinese New Year
According to custom, Chinese New Year's Eve is to observe the New Year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The little boys waited for the middle of the night to let go of the door whip and catch the stove god, their brains were excited, and they were all in good spirits without any sleepiness.
Sichuan pepper and bayberry couldn't hold it anymore, they were already asleep while talking, and bayberry still had half a cake in her mouth, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she fiddled with it, and even the movement of the second kick and the thunder whip didn't wake up the two. But the next day before the New Year's Day, the pepper was shouted by her sister Fennel.
Sleepy-eyed and rubbing his eyes in the quilt, Hua Jiao subconsciously muttered when he was in a daze: "Happy New Year, sister!" ”
Fennel smiled and kissed the pepper on the forehead: "Happy New Year to our peppercorns!" As he spoke, he added: "Live a long life, live a long life, and live a long life!" ”
Hua Jiao smiled hesitantly: "My sister also lives a hundred years old, the longer she grows, the better she looks." ”
Fennel couldn't stop laughing: "Little girl, do you know what it means to be good-looking?" ”
Hua Jiao nodded solemnly and said, "Sister is very good-looking now." ”
She's not a sycophant.
Speaking of which, there are no ugly people in the Qin family, uncles and fathers are all full of thick eyebrows and big eyes, and uncles, aunts, and mothers are also Chinese. What's more, Yao's temperament is elegant, Du's is tall and rich, Luo's is delicate and white, and Shen's is sweet and exquisite.
The brothers and sisters of their generation were all born with the benefits of their parents, and their faces and bodies were not bad.
Although he has suffered a big crime this year, he is black and thin, and he hasn't grown much yet. But after two months, especially in the past month, I don't owe anything to eat and drink, and gradually I have recuperated.
It's just that the skin color of the little boys is a little whiter, let alone the little girls. Everyone has begun to have meat on their faces, and their body is a little taller, and the edging on the sleeves and trousers of the old years is still slightly shorter, but you can see that the eyebrows are coming.
Fennel blushed and laughed, and it took a while to put on a new red jacket, new skirt and new cotton shoes for her, and took advantage of her own brushing work to comb her horns, and specially wrapped the glass pendant horns that Qin Lianbao gave to them five sisters and a pair.
Sichuan pepper washed her face again, smeared her own facial grease, and took her sister to go out.
It's just that this is the first time she has grown to the age of three wearing a skirt, which is quite uncomfortable.
Pushing open the door, there was still a faint smell of gunsmoke outside, and traces of firecrackers were scattered everywhere in the yard.
Although the hour is still early and the sky is just dawning, not to mention the elders, even the little boys and girls who have just fallen asleep have mostly gotten up.
The four cousins who were playing in the yard saw fennel pepper from afar, and hurriedly urged the two to hurry up, and said: "Pepper pepper hurry up, I'll wait for you." ”
The fifth cousin even ran to the door of his house and shouted inside: "Xiangye, get up quickly, you see that the peppers are up, we have to go and kowtow to our grandfather and grandmother quickly." ”
When she heard this, she giggled and said hello to her brothers and sisters loudly. Seeing the second uncle coming out of her house again, she hurriedly said loudly: "Second uncle, good luck in the New Year, Wishing you prosperity." ”
The happy Du Shi hurriedly said: "Get rich, get rich, everyone get rich." He came over and hugged the peppercorns: "Our peppers live a long life, and we are like tigers every year." ”
Hua Jiao nodded incessantly, and Du Shi carried him into the upper room.
In the upper room, Father Qin and Lady Qin had already changed into a few new clothes sewn by Luo, and when they saw Sun Nan and Di Nu rushing in, they were talking auspicious words in their mouths, all of which were joyful. Before they knelt down and kowtowed, they were already about to disperse the New Year's money.
Qin Lianhu hurriedly smiled and stopped the second elder: "The rules can't be abolished, you have to ask the children to kowtow to your second elder." ”
"Good, good!" The old couple smiled and sat on the top and began to salute.
The eyes of the little boy and the little girl unconsciously glanced at the tea tray on the table, a string full of money on the tea tray, which looked golden.
Hurriedly arranging shifts, kowtowing one by one and saying auspicious words such as "grandfather and grandmother Nafu" and so on. Father Qin and Old Lady Qin both smiled, and said a few words of encouragement.
After the pepper kowtowed, he had just taken over the heavy string of New Year's money, and he was already picked up by Father Qin and hugged in his arms: "As long as our pepper is safe and happy, we can do it." ”
Hua Jiao held the money string and parroted and smiled: "Peace and security, happy and happy!" ”
The brothers and sisters who skillfully tied the money strings around their waists were already cheering: "Eat wontons!" ”
Hua Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his cheeks began to itch again, and he couldn't stop nodding: "Eat wontons!" ”
Qin Lao Niang smiled hehehe: "Okay, good, eat wontons." After eating the wontons, this year they are all growing and sturdy like piglets. ”
The first meal of the Qin family's new year must be wontons, although wontons are often eaten, but the wontons on the first day of the new year are extraordinary.
Speaking of which, there are only Spring Festival and Summer Solstice in a year, and the family has the opportunity to eat such a little pig wonton.
Although the life of the family is becoming more and more prosperous, there is no shortage of food, but such food that has been given special meaning can only be eaten on special days.
The home-made wonton wrappers are thin, tough and large, and they can be opened to transmit light. The minced pork, green vegetables, etc. are as fine as puree, and then mixed with egg whites, which is extremely fresh.
The wontons are still boiling in the pot and cold, and the little boys and girls have already squeezed into the kitchen, this one shouting to eat three, and the other shouting that four is unlucky, then eat five.
When it was the turn of Sichuan pepper, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "I'll eat two!" ”
Xiangye couldn't stop nodding when he heard this: "I also eat two, and one can't eat enough." ”
The fifth cousin smiled and said to the two younger sisters: "Then you have to eat them all, and you are not allowed to have any leftovers." ”
Both of them nodded incessantly.
Sichuan Jiao looked at the steaming little pig wontons stuffed in the small bowl in front of him, and his index finger moved. Xiangye next to him swallowed his saliva, and he already chewed on a big mouthful, and only then did he bite off a corner.
The little pig wonton, the pepper is estimated to be two inches tall just by looking at the round transparent belly, and the width of the two corners is five or six inches, so that a bowl can barely hold one wonton.
Such a big wonton, I didn't eat a single pepper last year. I thought that my appetite had risen recently, and I thought that two of them should be fine.
Where do you know that not only peppercorns, but also the little boys and girls who shouted the earth-shattering sound just now are also bitter, but they overestimate themselves, where can they eat.
But the words have been spoken, and none of them can wipe off face.
Only the bay leaves, touching their round belly like wontons, giggled: "Just eat it again after a while!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yuan led his four daughters and came over with big bags and small bags to pay New Year's greetings.
Everyone was stunned.
Hua Jiao stretched his neck, but he didn't see Qin Lianbiao. (To be continued.) )
