Chapter Twenty-Seven: Chinese New Year

Chen Yu hadn't been out of the house for a long time, the outside was all silvery-white, and outside, even Chen Yu with special abilities could feel the cold, let alone ordinary people.

Soon it's time for the New Year, and when the New Year comes, it's to the uncle's house for the New Year, fortunately, they all live in one place, and you can go through it by opening the door, otherwise it's a difficult thing to get away from the village, after all, the snow outside is very deep, and if you're not careful, the whole person may fall in.

Fortunately, it is snowing, and if it rains, will it be flooded? However, it snows every day, and my father and mother are still very tired when they go to clear the snow.

On the day of the New Year, Chen Yu put on cotton clothes and cotton shoes, Chen Yu's mother combed Chen Yu with a lovely braid, his mother hugged his younger brother, and his sister led Chen Yu and came to his uncle's house together.

Chen Yu's mother went to help cook, and Chen Yu was in the children's pile and played with them.

"There's a lot of snow in the yard, shall we go build a snowman?" The third cousin Chen Lei said.

"Okay, let's go and see who looks the best." The lobby sister said.

"Sister, let's go build a snowman, it looks fun." Chen Yu said.

"It's cold outside, don't run out, you'll get frostbite, and then you'll know how hard to suffer. And I still have to watch Xiaobao, I can't go out. You're still too young, watch a few older brothers and sisters pile up, and then go by yourself when you grow up. Chen Daniu said.

The cold didn't stop the children's enthusiasm at all, and one by two began to roll snowballs, rolling big snowballs, as the body of a snowman, and then rolling a slightly smaller one and placing it on top as a head. Chen Yu didn't go, but he thought it was interesting to watch them do it.

There is a lot of snow in the yard, and the family just sweeps out one road every day, and the rest is not taken care of at all, and now the snow is the children's toys.

After building the snowmen, looking at the row of snowmen, they are all different in height, short, fat and thin, but a few of them look really cute.

"Xiaoyu, you come to be our referee, you can tell me which snowman does the best, we bet that the one who does the best can win candy." The lobby sister said.

It turns out that before building the snowman, everyone took out a bet on a candy, and whoever did the best would have all the candy. Candy is a rare thing here, and it is also because of the Chinese New Year that each child only gets a few candies, and the children cherish it, so this is also a big bet.

Because if they evaluate themselves, they will definitely be biased towards themselves, and no one is at ease to let the other party evaluate, so let Chen Yu, who did not participate, make an evaluation.

"Okay, but my evaluation is not necessarily accurate, or else, vote for choice, each person has three sticks, which one you think is good, put the sticks in front of the snowman, everyone can only vote for one snowman, so that the snowman with the most votes wins, what do you think?" Chen Yu said.

Everyone thought about it, so that if everyone participated, it would be fair, so they said: "Xiaoyu is so smart, come like this." ”

In the end, Chen Yu counted that the winner was the second cousin's snowman, and the second cousin was very happy with the winning candy, and gave two to Chen Yu.

After building the snowman, everyone went into the house to warm up, after all, it was too cold outside, and they couldn't stand it for a long time.

After playing crazy for a while, it was soon time for lunch. Lunch is cabbage pork dumplings, this pork is probably the pork that was distributed to each family before, it was frozen, and I only ate it today. The dumplings are very delicious, and a little vinegar is even more delicious.

It's a pity that you can only eat it during the New Year every year, of course, Chen Yu can get it himself, but it's a pity that making dumplings is more troublesome, not only to process the wheat into flour, but also to make the flour into dumpling skin, in addition to chopping meat, and the need to wrap, unless you get a lot at one time, otherwise Chen Yu will not spend so much effort.

In addition to eating, Chen Yu was very happy that he received the New Year's money, although it was not much, it was only a few pennies in total, but this was the first time that Chen Yu had money in front of him at home, although it was not hot in Chen Yu's hands, he was taken away by his mother, on the grounds that Chen Yu was too young and was saved by adults.

However, Chen Yu was not too disappointed, after all, there was no place in the village where money was needed, and if you wanted to buy things, you had to walk far to the town. It's just a few pennies, and there is a lot of money in Chen Yu's space.

In addition to delicious food during the New Year, the family also celebrated the New Year together at night, but at this time Chen Yu's family had already gone home. It is also a very warm thing to keep the New Year with the family at home, and the youngest brother Chen Bao sleeps peacefully in his mother's arms.

Because the weather is cold, Chen Yu has no one to sleep on, and with his sisters, not only is the quilt warmer, but also can save firewood in a room.

The next day, it was a rare sunny day, Chen Yu looked at his father who was roasting the fire and asked, "Dad, do you know how to read?" ”

"Your grandfather taught me before, I know some, what's wrong, does our Xiaoyu want to know how to read?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yes, Dad, you teach me to read, otherwise I won't even be able to read other people's signboards when I go to town in the future." Chen Yu said.

"Well, it's okay now, I'll teach you how to read. Big girl, second girl, Xiaohua want to come together, know the words, and you can not be deceived in the future, and you can understand the contract. Chen Tiezhu said.

In the process of his father's teaching literacy, Chen Yu found that the characters in this world are the same as those in the original world, and they are not traditional characters, but simplified characters. Although I don't know why this is the case, but it's a good thing that you don't have to be illiterate, although it's a little unscientific, but there are such unscientific things as crossing, and this little thing is even less important.

However, Chen Yu wondered why the last time he went to town, there were many fonts that didn't seem to be recognized. However, Chen Yu saw that his father didn't know many words, and he probably didn't know much, so he didn't ask.

After half a day, Chen Tiezhu also taught ten words, Chen Yu now knows that he knows these words, and he doesn't stop learning, just by relying on his father's teaching, let others know that he is literate, otherwise it will be a trouble if Chen Yu can read for no reason.

Next, Chen Yu studied with his father for a few days, and Chen Tiezhu praised Chen Yu as a genius, and he would be able to learn it as soon as he learned it, if it was a boy, he would definitely be able to become a great tool.

The learning progress of the sisters is much slower, but they all know some words, at least they are not illiterate.

Not only is it cold in winter, but also not rich in supplies, and there have been no green vegetables on the table for a long time, except for cabbage, which is radish. Looking at the snow outside the house, I don't know when it will melt.
