Time flies, more than three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and when it comes to the end of the year, Zhan Xiaoyan and their family are also busy preparing for the New Year, and they have already discussed it, and when the first month is over 20, they will pack up and set off to return to Beiyan, so they will go back just before February 20. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info or the itinerary on the road is slower, and it is okay to go back at the beginning of March, when the Northern Yan Kingdom has already entered the summer.

"Okay, Xiao Ning, let's put these ten washed copper coins in the wrapped dumplings, so whoever eats them will mean that they will have good luck and great wealth in the new year. You must know that we have made 200 dumplings, so it seems that these ten dumplings with copper coins are a lot, but it is also very difficult to eat! Zhan Xiaoyan wiped the washed copper coins dry, and then handed them to Zhan Xiaoning, who was making dumplings, and said.

"Good! Then we'll see whose luck will be better. And this dumpling is not just the two of us who made it, it is the previous and filling, and then the meat and vegetables before the filling, as well as the procedures of making the flour and making the dumpling skin, but we all did it together. Because today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family wants to have a reunion dinner, even the grandfather is also working together, and then the brother-in-law has to cook so many dishes, the feeling of the family together is good! Zhan Xiaoning said while taking the copper coin.

"You also said that it was the New Year, so of course it must be lively! And even though we are not in Beiyan Country now, since we are a family, of course we can do everything. Okay, I'm going to marinate the fish with salt, green onions, ginger and garlic first, and then your brother-in-law can start cooking the fish directly. Zhan smiled and grabbed the fish that was still alive in the water, and then neatly disemboweled it and removed its scales.

Now that she has been pregnant for more than five months, her belly has been pregnant, she has long stopped being sleepy and vomiting, but has begun to like to eat fruit, and fortunately fruit is not so occupying her stomach, so whether she has breakfast, or after lunch and dinner, she will eat two or three, naturally not the kind of fruit that is particularly cold.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was prepared lively, and by the time they brought the last dish to the table, it was already dark outside, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard, and of course, the sound of children cheering and running past the door. Because during the Chinese New Year, the busiest people are adults, and the happiest are children, who have new clothes to wear, and can eat a lot of delicious food, and then after greeting their parents, they can also get red envelopes from their hands, so they (they) are of course the happiest.

"Grandpa, grandson (granddaughter, granddaughter) wishes you a happy new year and good luck!" Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began, Yan Qihao and everyone knelt down one by one and kowtowed to the Guan Lao who was sitting on the main seat. This is also a necessary etiquette for the New Year, kneel to the grandparents and parents, they don't have it at home, so you just need to kneel and kowtow to him.

"Okay, okay, come, take the red envelope! Although you are all older, not children, and even Xiaoyan is already married and about to become a mother, but since I am an elder, of course I am going to give you a red envelope, which can be regarded as an auspicious one! Guan Lao said, and gave them the prepared red envelopes one by one, which were all the same, silver tickets of ten taels, and they were just to ask for good luck, so no matter how much money was put in, it was the same.

A reunion dinner was lively and warm, Yan Qihao and Guan Laolian drank several pots of wine, Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaotian also drank a few glasses, Zhan Xiaoning drank a few glasses of fruit wine, and Zhan Xiaoyan could only drink juice. There are a total of ten dishes, but the plates used to hold the dishes are not big, because the dumplings have been cooked, which is something that can be eaten, so there is no need to make too many dishes, not to mention that there are two chickens in it.

"Oops! In addition to the meat filling, what else is in this dumpling? I bit down, and my teeth still hurt, Xiao Ning, is there anything particularly hard in it? After Guan Lao drank a glass of wine again, he sandwiched a dumpling and ate it, but what he caught happened to be a dumpling with copper coins in it, so his teeth hurt.

"Grandpa, your luck is so good, I didn't expect that today's first copper coin was actually for you to eat! That Xiao Ning, Xiao Tian, Xiao Yu, and Qi Hao, you also have to work hard to eat, there are nine of them with copper coins, if you want to be rich and blessed, eat them as soon as possible! Zhan smiled and said, and gave everyone a dumpling. Because the dishes on the table are arranged like this, ten plates are placed next to them, and in the middle is a large pot of dumplings, and if you want to eat, you can also grab it from the inside.

"Really? In that case, then I have to eat hard, and I must eat a copper coin! Zhan Xiaoyu said, and began to eat dumplings. Because there are so many dishes today, they can eat a dozen or twenty dumplings at most, so although there are still nine copper coins, it is not so easy to eat one.

In the end, two of the remaining nine dumplings were eaten by Zhan Xiaoning, Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaotian each ate one, and then Guan Lao ate another, Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao each ate two, so it seems that the luckiest people in the coming year are the couple and Guan Lao, as well as Zhan Xiaoning. But whether it's like this or not, at least the people who have eaten it now feel very happy, it's the New Year, and it's time to have a reunion dinner, and they're all very happy.

"Okay, the reunion dinner has already been eaten, so let's go outside and set off fireworks now. Because the day of the New Year is all about the New Year, although it may not last until the next morning, but it will be a little later than usual, so now we will go out to set off fireworks, or see who sets off fireworks. Guan Lao said and walked out of the room, and the others followed out one by one. As Guan Lao said, although it may not be possible to go without sleeping until the next day, at least you should go to bed later.

The Imperial Palace of the Southern Dragon Kingdom was also holding a banquet at this time, and the people who attended it were of course the ministers and emperors of the Southern Dragon Kingdom, as well as his children. For them, even on this day, it will be the same, so it will be very lively with delicious food and wine, dancing and blessings. Nan Batian looked at the courtiers below and knew that they also wanted to go back for the New Year, but he liked the lively atmosphere more, so he would let the ministers stay until halfway through the hour, and then let them go back to celebrate the New Year with their families.

"Father, my son will give you a drink!" Nan Haoke picked up the wine glass and said to Nan Batian, who also picked up the wine glass, touched it with him from afar, and then drank all the wine in the cup. It is precisely because he is the emperor that he likes to be lively more, although the emperor is used to loneliness, he still prefers to make people more, especially during the New Year's Festival.

Soon, it was time for the ministers, Nan Batian wanted to leave, but no one wanted to be the first to speak, so Nan Batian once again toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and let the ministers all go back, and then wait until three days later, they came to the court again. After all the people dispersed, Nan Batian left the main hall.

"Father, let's celebrate the New Year together today!" However, after Nan Batian returned to the dormitory, he saw his seven children standing there except for the two princesses who had already married, and they were also looking at him with admiration at this time, which made his heart warm for a while.

"Okay, then Fuhai, you go and prepare some refreshments and bring them over, as well as the things they like, such as books, chess, swords, etc., let them put on a good show for me, because there is still more than an hour before the time comes." Nan Batian instructed his personal inner supervisor.

"Father, are you disappointed that the regent of the Northern Yan Kingdom did not come today? Because the last time I visited, I had already made it clear that he would not come to today's palace banquet, because he would rather spend it with his family. After entering the dormitory, everyone sat down in the outer room of the dormitory, and Nan Haocheng asked Nan Batiandao directly.

"I do feel disappointed, but since this is his decision, of course I will not force it. And he was just a guest in the first place, but now that they are in the Southern Dragon Kingdom, we, as the hosts, must of course respect his wishes. Okay, let's not talk about others now, it's time for our family, Fuhai has already brought the things, you can do what you like. Haocheng, let's play a game of chess with me, our father and son haven't played chess for a long time. ”

Nan Batian is a strict father and a loving father, but because he is the emperor, his children are more respectful and courteous to him than close to him, but he loves and values every child the same, and has always been paying attention to their growth and progress, and he also believes that no matter when or how old they are, they will never let themselves down, whether it is a daughter or a son.

This is still the case in the palace here, and even more so in ordinary homes in other places. Because whether it is an ordinary family that is busy all year round, or a large official family, on such a day, they are all guarding the candle flame and keeping the New Year with their families, and with the sound of fireworks, it will usher in the first day of the new year.

In the palace of the Northern Yan Kingdom, in Yan Qijin's bedroom, Yan Qijin was looking at the painting sent back by Yan Qihao at this time, which was a family portrait drawn by Zhan Xiaoyan not long ago, but the painting on it was Yan Qijin, Yan Qihao and her, which were painted by Zhan Xiaoyan ten days ago, so he was already pregnant, and he also knew that he was going to become an uncle in more than four months.

For so many years, he has been a husband, a father, and an emperor, and he has never been an uncle, because the only person who can make himself an uncle is Yan Qihao. But for so many years, he has never been married, and now he has only been married for less than a year, and he can already be his uncle, of course he is very happy. And they'll be back in February, so it's going to be even more lively.

Yan Qijin put away the painting, and knew again in his heart that now in Yan Qihao's heart, the most important person is no longer himself, but a smile, and there will be their children in the future, I believe he will always be fine! And Yan Qijin sighed with emotion, this is the first time that Yan Qihao's younger brother is not by his side for the New Year, and I believe that there may be such a situation in the future. And even if Yan Qihao will no longer leave the Northern Yan Kingdom in the future, during the Chinese New Year, there will be Zhan Xiaoyan's wife by his side, as well as their children, and it will start next year, which is really good!

Zhan Xiaoyan and the other family fell asleep one by one a moment before the child, so everyone did not successfully complete the New Year, and they were woken up by a gong in the morning, and the hour was still very early, only halfway through.

"Grandpa, Xiaoyan, if you feel sleepy, you can wait until you have breakfast before going to bed, because the unique custom of the Southern Dragon Kingdom, on the first day of the new year, the gong will sound, and it will last for an hour, so it can't be quiet for the time being." Yan Qihao explained to them the unique habits of the Southern Dragon Kingdom on the first day of the new year.

"No, we're not very sleepy yet, and anyone sleeps in the daytime, and even if they do, they only sleep in the afternoon. Okay, Mama has already made breakfast, so let's eat breakfast first and then go out for a walk. "On the first day of the new year, even though the shops are closed, you can see children who like to be busy. Because on the first day of the new year, I don't go to visit relatives, and the first day is spent at home, but children like to run outside, so on the street, the most common thing to see is children!

"Whew, even though it's such a cold weather, it's very lively because it's New Year! And even though there are no shops open today, there are still a lot of children in new clothes running around the streets, and they are the only ones who can play with their peers at any time and be carefree. Like us, we have all grown up, and the more things we experience, the more innocent that belongs to our children will gradually disappear. I can't be like when I was a child, because I can be happy because of a small thing, so I always feel cute when I see children! Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao walked on the street, and sure enough, the children they saw the most, looking at them, she also looked a little emotional.

"Okay, don't be blind to emotion, we originally came out to feel the lively atmosphere of the New Year, you don't have so many emotions, let's move on!" Yan Qihao scraped the bridge of her nose with his index finger and said with some amusement. (To be continued.) )
