Chapter 219: Chinese New Year

"Benben, don't run around with your younger siblings, they're too young to hang out with you yet. They have to stay at home, or their mother won't be able to take care of them. ”

caught the fat nephew, this kid has been in a kindergarten in the United States for half a year, and now he can still speak some English; But a very accented Mandarin speaks more slippery, and when he returns to his hometown, this kid is alive and well. In rural areas, it is normal for children to run around; Benben, who is determined to be a good brother, wants to take his younger siblings out to play.

"The younger brother and sister will be bored at home, and Pooh and King Kong will not be at home, and the younger brother will be bored. I'm going to play with the kids, and my brother and they can go together, and my brother and sister can walk! ”

Ben Ben swore that his brother and sister had grown up and were now able to walk; So Benben found a reason, that is, the people who can walk on their own are big children, and they can go out to play together.

Qi Ping had a headache, although the reason for family planning, now the village is not like he was when he was a child, and there are many more people of the same age. However, there are indeed a few children in the village who are about the same age as Benben and them; These kids are basically playing together. Especially now that there are a lot of toys at home, it has become a place where children like to party.

Xiaoyao and Yoyo are actually very happy, there are not so many children in the forest farm; Although both of them are now walking precariously, this does not hinder their enthusiasm for playing games with their older brothers and sisters. It's a complete human crazy, just thinking about playing games all day, and only a few times can I remember not seeing King Kong and Pooh.

It's all about the kids having fun. In fact, it's not just about kids having fun now; I returned to my hometown. Qi Ping is still very happy. Visiting relatives and friends is indispensable. Listening to the familiar country sound, this is enough to make Qi Ping very happy.

The Spring Festival is coming, so naturally we have to prepare a lot of things; New Year's goods and the like are indispensable, such as fried balls and fried tofu, which made Kate feel eye-opening, and of course she was very happy to eat. Don't look at Xiaoyao and Yoyo have just finished their teeth, and they haven't even been weaned yet, but they can still eat a little snack.

Had a lot of fun. There is a good chance that the two little naughty buns will have a rounded little face; Qi Ping feels that after this Spring Festival, not only the children may grow a little flesh, but he and Kate are also likely to gain a little weight. Although I ate and drank well when I was in the forest farm, this is the Spring Festival, and I eat more, and basically my mouth is not idle for a moment at the end of the day.

During the Spring Festival, it is naturally the time for my mother to show her skills; Ten dishes means perfect, and there must be dishes with good fortune such as more than one year and one reunion. A large family sat together, plus the cute three little ones made a little noise from time to time. Naturally, I was even happier.

Although many people now say that the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, one thing is certain. When I was in the countryside, the New Year was quite lively. There are not too many restrictions, in fact, it is certain that fireworks are set off lively; Xiaoyao and Yoyo were frightened at first, because the fireworks and firecrackers were indeed louder.

But gradually, the children have become accustomed to it, and even slowly have become fond of it; There weren't so many firecrackers in the woods, which was a completely new experience for the kids.

Qi Ping has indeed prepared a lot of fireworks, anyway, the family is not short of money now, this is the best fireworks, high-end fireworks. And there are also some fireworks for the children, and one of the most interesting games for the children during the New Year actually includes fireworks, which will be very interesting.

As the head of the family, Qi Weihui is very busy; Busy preparing for ancestor worship and busy arranging the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The happiest thing for him is actually watching the cute three little chubby grandsons kowtow to the ancestors honestly. Now the house is getting more and more lively, and this is what he is most happy about.

"Cheers!"

Benben has become the king of children, and he is happily playing a toast game with his younger siblings; They don't care when the adults are toasting or anything like that, they just have to hold their glasses. The three little guys, who drank a lot of milk, must have drunk their little stomachs a long time ago.

The children will definitely not be patient, and if they have eaten a New Year's meal for an hour or two, they will definitely not have so much patience for the children. Now it's just thinking about playing, of course, it's a fun time to go out and play games during the New Year, anyway, the little belly is already full.

The children don't really care about the New Year's money now, because the little ones still don't understand the beauty of the New Year's money.

"Daddy! Father! ”

The children were clapping their hands happily, and some couldn't wait to go out and play; Qi Ping picked up the children with some amusement and patted their little butts. A large family is chatting happily, but these little naughty bags just want to go out and play, and they don't know the fun of chatting as a family yet.

The people in the village have finished their New Year's meal one after another, and now they are all going out, and they are starting to prepare for the entertainment activities of the Chinese New Year's Eve. In fact, the activities of the Chinese New Year's Eve are basically just a few things; In the countryside, you can't expect everyone to go to KTV, and 'traditional', this is a good time to play mahjong.

"Mom hasn't played mahjong for a while, so it's better for you to play mahjong. Kate and I will take the children with us, and when the time comes, the stars will come out after twelve o'clock, and I am afraid that the children will be scared. Anyway, Kate and I don't play mahjong, just watch the Spring Festival Gala, chat, and by the way, just take the little naughty bags to hang out. ”

Qi Ping naturally knows that his parents like to play mahjong, especially his mother; I stayed in the United States for a long time, and although I came back once or twice in between, the time was really tight. Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother also has to 'take a holiday', once I bring my grandson, there are really not many opportunities to play mahjong.

"Okay, I'll play two mahjong games, and you can take it with you. When it's dark, you set off fireworks, and your dad bought a lot of them, so let Benben take you to play when the time comes. "Yu Lan does have itchy hands, she hasn't touched mahjong for a long time, and she really misses it a little.

It is true that Qi Ping and Kate are not interested in playing mahjong, especially Qi Ping; Kate hasn't been exposed to too many such quintessences, and she doesn't understand the charm of mahjong. But Qi Ping, in fact, can play mahjong; It's just that compared to a master like my mother, rookie Qiping now has a relatively cold attitude towards mahjong, and sometimes it doesn't matter if you play a little bit with your good friends, but there is no need to run to join in the fun when you are taking children.

"It's not for our kids, there are too many people smoking here, and that's not a good thing for kids." Kate felt that it was not suitable to watch others play mahjong because the environment there was not good; One of the simplest reasons is because there are people there who smoke.

"I think so too, even though the kids love to play here, it's really lively. But we can think about going home, playing games with the kids, and then putting them to sleep. And I told you, after 12 o'clock every house will set off fireworks, which will wake up the children, and we need to take care of the children. ”

Qi Ping felt that it was really not suitable to stay here and watch people play mahjong now, because there were many smokers there, which was really bad for children. So now, it's better to go home honestly, take the children home first, play games, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve that belongs to Qi Ping and Kate, which is the most suitable for Qi Ping and Kate.

The lively Chinese New Year's Eve is over, and the next is the first day of the new year, which is the most important thing; Early in the morning, Qi Ping took the children in new clothes to pay New Year's greetings.

Don't look at Qi Ping's worth a lot now, but Qi Ping still likes to visit the village and pay New Year's greetings; After all, it is because this is where he grew up, and many people in the village have watched him grow up. Now it can be regarded as a return to his hometown, especially with his wife and children, which can make Qi Ping even more proud.

Cute little ones are welcome everywhere, and it's the first day of the new year, and it's the New Year's visit; Although not everyone will give red envelopes to children, the candy is indeed enough. This also made Yoyo and Xiaoyao happy, although the small pockets were full of candy, and the little hands were also full of candy, but they were not satisfied.

"See Benben? This is the New Year's greeting, and the children go to each family to pay New Year's greetings and collect sweets. Now the kids don't like this game very much, we were the real hilarious when we were young, we had a group of ten children, and it was really hilarious to run to ask for candy at that time. ”

Watching Benben and a few children in the village happily running to ask for candy, Qi Ping thought it was very interesting; But I also think it's funny, but it brings back some of Qi Ping's fond memories of his childhood.

"It's kind of like Halloween, where kids go door-to-door asking for candy. I'm sure this year, we'll be able to enjoy the game, and then Alex and Emily will be grown up and they can go collect candy under our leadership. I'm sure it's going to be a fun game and they're going to love that. ”

Kate is looking forward to it, it's definitely a fun thing to do, the children are constantly growing, and naturally there will be more interesting games waiting to be shared with the children. Kate felt very excited, even a little impatient, because she really wanted to go to collect candy with the children, and of course she needed to drive them with him! (To be continued......)
