Chapter 199: Customs and Habits (Ask for Subscription)
The family is reunited, enjoying the most special Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the year; Although her mother and sister-in-law and Kate have been preparing for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner since she got up in the morning. Although under the leadership of his father, Qi Ping and his brother have also done a lot of things; But all this is worth it, for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The children are undoubtedly the protagonists of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the little ones are the ones who attract the most attention; The little ones were eating food and drinking drinks one after another during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
It's very happy, the children's appetite has always been very good, they are indeed a little bit bigger, small arms and legs, and of course, small stomachs. The little face is round and fleshy. But these are cute, healthy, and these are actually the happiest people. Children's health and happiness are the most important things, anyway, there is no need to think about the body now.
The little ones had a great time eating and playing; As for the little ones lying on the ground to greet their grandparents, this is also a must-do. As for receiving the red envelope, of course, it is also a matter of course. These are some of the customs and habits of the New Year, and these are these customs and habits that have been passed down for many years.
The customs that should be there for the New Year, anyway, there will definitely be no shortage on the side of the old Qi family; New Year's money, new clothes, and the like are all normal things. Among the customs and habits, simple ancestor worship, stars and the like will definitely not be lacking. These customs and habits really need to be maintained, which is also a custom of the Spring Festival and a part of the Spring Festival.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children woke up early; To say that there are also people who like to lie in bed at home. But certainly not the kids. Qi Ping is the favorite bed in the family. It has also received a lot of criticism for this; And the kids. It's the type that goes to bed early and wakes up early.,When you wake up, you're thinking about going out and playing around.。
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most interesting thing for children is to go to the New Year; Xiaoyao and Yoyo both know this game and can go around the village to collect candy. This game is somewhat similar to when you were in the woods; On Halloween Eve, kids are running around town, playing trick-or-treat. New Year's greetings, naturally, are also the most important thing to collect candy.
For Qi Ping. It's still quite fun to run around with the kids, these little guys are so good at tossing, these little guys just play the game, this is definitely the type that can go crazy.
Speaking of which, it's been a while since these little ones returned to their hometown; In the past half a month, the little ones can occasionally think of King Kong, Pooh and other playmates. It's just that more than that, it's still very fun and fun, including eating very happily. As for things like reading, they were completely forgotten; The little ones didn't go to kindergarten, and there was no holiday in kindergarten; This is the status of the leave of absence. But the kids don't care about that, they love to take time off work and go back to their hometown to play games.
It's all about the little ones having fun. Qi Ping is naturally also most concerned about whether the children can have fun. Kindergarten, to be honest, is not necessarily very important, it is relatively normal to ask for leave and the like; Returning to my hometown for the New Year, this is the most important thing, there is no comparison at all.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I took the children around the village, and the children harvested a lot of candy; Although according to some previous understandings, these candies are basically not eaten much by the children, and more still have to be fed to Pooh, the big fat bear who likes sweets. However, the most important thing is that the children are happy, and this is indeed the result of the children's harvest.
Next, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was going to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle; To be honest, over the years, some customs and the like have slowly changed with the times. This is also a normal thing, after all, the rhythm of life has changed a lot, and you can't abide by the rules and the like, which is actually the most inconvenient thing.
It still needs a little progress to keep up with the pace of the times, although many people think that the flavor of the new year is getting weaker and weaker. However, these changes are still necessary and acceptable to everyone, because they are more convenient.
On the relatives side, those who should move around must still move; Although the family is now a little rich, it is indeed developed. However, these people are sophisticated, and they still have to follow the traditional customs; Qi Ping is not the kind of person who makes some money but has no one in his sights, he is actually still a very low-key type, and he still knows that he doesn't have to look at his relatives.
In fact, the happiest people are the children during the New Year and visiting relatives. They are the kind of people who are praised everywhere they go, and the little ones have long flesh, and they look very cute; The chubby little guys naturally belong to the popular type, and praise is indispensable.
In this way, the children are able to eat a lot of snacks; Raisins, persimmons, walnuts, hazelnuts and the like are more common. The children seem to prefer the deep fryers or pancakes dipped in moldy tofu and chili sauce at home. Very down-to-earth, these snacks are actually quite delicious snacks in Qi Ping's opinion.
As for those deep fryers and the like, maybe not every family has them; However, for many rural families, especially those living in remote villages, there are still earthen stoves and the like. The rice cooked in the earthen stove is more fragrant, and of course there will be a pot; Children don't just like to eat deep fried pot porridge now, but now they are staring at the fragrant and crispy pot porridge when they eat.
These little guys will definitely grow a long flesh and meat after this Spring Festival; To be honest, the little ones are eating and drinking a little better during this time. They, this is the state of complete vacation; In fact, many times the Spring Festival is just to relax and enjoy a thoroughly leisurely life. Little guys, this is the essence of the Spring Festival, this holiday is going to eat and drink.
Qi Ping saw it, but he didn't plan to say anything more; The kids are having fun now, and that's actually the most important thing. And these things are harmless to say. Then these things don't need to be cared about at all; Anyway, Qi Ping didn't hear any remarks about his children being too fat or anything like that, and even the family doctor wouldn't have any opinions.
Well, these are actually enough, and the most important thing is that the children are having fun and eating happily. Children's childhood should be unrestrained, and children should grow up happily and happily. These little snacks and the like, since the children like them and have no impact on health, will support them.
Such a Spring Festival, in fact, there is still plenty of time; Don't look at Qi Ping who has been at home for almost a month, he has indeed done something. But in general, it's the type that loites around all day. It seems that there is nothing serious at all, just scurrying around the village with his wife and children; When I'm free, I go to play cards, mahjong and the like, anyway, I'm very idle.
After the New Year, there are still many important things to do; In fact, Qi Ping also knows that although staying in his hometown still makes people feel very happy, this matter does make him enjoy it very much. However, you can't always be in a state of rest for the New Year, in fact, there are really a lot of things waiting for Qi Ping to deal with well.
There are really a lot of things waiting for Qi Ping to deal with on this side of the wildlife sanctuary; It is no exaggeration to say that he is even the central figure of this reserve. Without Qiping, perhaps such a wildlife sanctuary would still be able to operate, but it would basically be the most ordinary and featureless reserve.
Now that the reserve has just been built, the most important big man at this time is naturally Qi Ping, and now there are too many things waiting for Qi Ping to nod and wait for him to do it.
It's not just because of the wildlife sanctuary here, there are actually a lot of other things that need to be dealt with by Qi Ping. For example, the arrangement of various things in the forest farm, as well as the New Year's arrangement plan on the side of the ranch; In California, the weather in February is so good that of course the big spring needs to start all kinds of busyness.
Qi Ping has already set a date to return to the United States, but before that, it must be indispensable to get together with his classmates. The class reunion is really enjoyable. A group of classmates sat together, reminisced about the good memories of the past, and teased each other about their youthful frivolity; Look at the current life, the changes now.
These are really worth recalling; In the final analysis, the changes over the years are really more familiar to 'outsiders', far more familiar than themselves. And the 'ridiculous things' that I did when I was young and frivolous are more often fun to talk about with a group of people who know the roots, which is also one of the greatest pleasures of the party.
This gathering, even, to some extent, was initiated by Qi Ping; So he still cares a lot about the quality of this party, for example, he cares a lot about whether his classmates who were good at the beginning will come, whether there will be some unpleasantness and unhappiness at the party, and even whether this party will satisfy everyone.
With these little excitements, and many, many expectations, Qi Ping is now starting to prepare, preparing for this gathering. Of course, his wife and children also have to participate, this party, Qi Ping is really a little bit of a show off of his lovely children, who makes the children now his proudest existence.
