Chapter 160: Chinese New Year's Eve

These two days are extremely uncomfortable. The old man has returned home, Yun Zheng and I can no longer stay in our own room to eat, every meal has to be eaten with the old man in the hall, of course, An Yuanxi is definitely there. So these two meals made me feel particularly awkward, An Yuanxi's attitude towards everyone was extremely cold, which was completely out of tune with the previous nerd surname, and he had a gloomy face all the time, as if everyone owed him money, which also made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, except for the time of eating, I basically don't meet with him, but An Sheng always runs into my courtyard when he has nothing to do, as if he is grinding, I see that this child's surname is so cheerful, my heart moves, and I have the heart to let him have more contact with Fusheng and Jinsha, maybe under his drive, Fusheng can cheer up from that huge blow as soon as possible. But to let An Sheng and Fusheng study together, I have to get An Yuanxi's consent first, and I don't want to go to him, so I haven't had a suitable opportunity to talk to him.

Then ushered in the Chinese New Year's Eve, I remember when I was a child, on Chinese New Year's Eve, people had to keep vigil, the whole family gathered around, ate a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, watched the Spring Festival Gala, children to get red envelopes from elders, but also set off fireworks all over the street, the New Year is the most fascinating and fun festival when I was young. And on this day, the New Year can not be ambiguous, not to mention a large family like the Hou Mansion, before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they must first worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall, give incense to the ancestors, pay tribute, and burn paper money, hoping to get the blessing of the ancestors.

The three deacons of the Yun family also rushed back to the capital Houfu, mainly to participate in the ceremony of An Yuanxi's recognition of his ancestors and his return to his ancestors tomorrow. The old man and Yun Zheng finished incense to their ancestors in turn, kowtowed, and then said to An Yuanxi, who was standing aside: "Yuanxi, come and incense your ancestors." ”

An Yuanxi raised his eyes and glanced at the dense tablets on the top of Shenxi, and walked forward without saying a word, I lit a pillar of incense and handed it to him, according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, the men have to worship their ancestors before it can be the turn of the women, and the men are according to the rules of the long room first, so the three deacons have to be ranked after An Yuanxi. When he was worshipping his ancestors, the old man said to the ancestral tablet very emotionally: "Ancestors bless, let Chongshan find Yi'er's flesh and bones, and Yi'er should also smile at Jiuquan......"

An Yuanxi finished the incense silently, kowtowed, and did not respond to the old man's meaty words. After the three deacons finished worshipping, it was my turn to offer incense to my ancestors, and when I knelt and kowtowed to my waist, the old man said, "The seventeenth generation eldest daughter-in-law of Yunmen, Ye Shi, is virtuous and filial, and has been pregnant with flesh and blood for the Yun family, and I hope that the ancestors will bless Yunyun." Yun Zheng helped me up, and the old man took the lead in burning paper money and ingots for the ancestors, and after the long sacrificial activities, he took us to the main hall for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has long been prepared and a large round table is full of dazzling dishes, we sit around the table, even the three little ghosts of Jinsha, Fusheng and Ansheng can sit at the same table with us, probably because of the joy of the New Year, Fusheng's face also showed a long-lost smile. Yun Zheng's mother was unable to attend, and there was also an empty pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, it seems that the Yun family attaches great importance to this reunion banquet. The old man smiled: "There haven't been so many people in the family for many years to celebrate the festival together, as the saying goes, 'hit a thousand, scold ten thousand, and have a meal on thirty nights', there is nothing more joyful than a family reunion, right?" ”

"Big brother is very right." Uncle Yun Chongling hurriedly nodded, and Uncle Chang and Uncle Hai also hurriedly agreed. I smiled bitterly in my heart, this meal, I'm afraid the old man is the only one who is happy to eat. Although the old man tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, there was still a bit of a cold scene at the table. Fortunately, the three deacons of the Yun family are all observant, trying their best to help the old man, telling some interesting things in the business field, and the two little ghosts Jinsha and Ansheng are grabbing food on the table, which makes people feel that they are not too lonely, otherwise this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is really like a pin.

It was easy to wait until the meal was over, Yun Yi ran in and said to the old man: "Master Hou, the dragon dance team has come to pay New Year's greetings, and Master Hou wants to go out in person to reward the happy money?" When the old man heard this, he said happily: "Okay, of course I want to go, please have a happy and auspicious occasion!" When I was a child, my hometown town had the custom of the dragon dance team coming to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and I don't know when it started, it was canceled, and there was no dragon and lion dance, float parade, Lantern Festival, and firecrackers were also banned.

The whole family followed the old man to watch the dragon dance outside the gate. As soon as I went out, I found that it was really lively, although it was already dark, but there was a team of brightly dressed servants holding long bamboo poles and carrying big red lanterns, illuminating the front of the door. First of all, the colorful dragon dance, after a while, a ball of ceremonial flowers burst into the sky, I looked up in surprise, only to find that it was not a ceremonial flower, but an iron flower. There was molten iron in the red-hot iron pot on the opposite street, and the flower beater threw the flower spoon into the air, and the golden molten iron spread out like a salute to the sky, and the brilliance was dazzling, and in a blink of an eye, it condensed into a thin iron bullet that was hard tied and fell from the sky. When the first bouquet of iron flowers had not disappeared, another bouquet was thrown into the air with a "bang", and a new bouquet popped out again, one after another, without interruption. At this time, the fire dragon appeared, the fire dragon is clothed, not as colorful as the color dragon, but it has more indescribable majesty and momentum than the color dragon. The men of the dragon dance were all naked, covered with anti-scald tung oil, and their faces were covered with sweat.

The old man was very satisfied with the hard work of the dragon dance team, and asked Yun Yi to reward the team leader with a big red envelope, and the dragon dance team withdrew lively. A few children couldn't bear it for a long time, saying that they were going to set off fireworks, but they didn't know where the wild was in a blink of an eye. We followed the old man to the garden to watch juggling, and it is said that the Yun family would invite a juggling team to perform in the garden for one night every Chinese New Year's Eve. The garden has long been arranged, singing and dancing, taming the top plate, breathing fire and piercing fire rings and other programs are performed one by one, I barely hold on until the time, I feel tired, and it is not good to leave the scene in advance, which breaks the rules of the New Year and the interest of the old man. Leaning softly on Yun Zheng's shoulder, Yun Zheng immediately noticed my abnormality, lowered his head and said with concern: "Ye'er, tired?" ”

"Hmm......" I closed my eyes and hummed lazily, even in my previous life, I had never kept the year until dawn the next day, and after three o'clock in the morning, my eyelids must have fought, and now that I am pregnant, this body is becoming more and more indisputable. Before he came back to his senses, he heard Yun Zheng say to the old man: "Grandfather, Ye'er is tired, and her grandson wants to accompany her back to the room to rest." ”

I quickly opened my eyes, and saw that everyone's eyes swept over, the old man cared about the great-grandson in my belly, and did not keep us, and instructed: "Go, Ye Yatou's body is inconvenient, and you don't need to keep the New Year with us today, you can accompany her in the room." ”

I saluted Yun Zheng and went back to the room, and when I entered the room, I took off my coat, climbed straight to the bed, pulled the quilt and prepared to sleep with my head covered. In the past two days, I have prepared for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and activities on Chinese New Year's Eve and the ancestor recognition ceremony of An Yuanxi's first year, although I am not asked to do it myself, but there are still bits and pieces of miscellaneous things to arrange, my stomach is pot-bellied, because of pregnancy, both legs are a little swollen, standing for a while, sitting for a while I feel unbearable.

Yun Zheng sat at the head of the bed, and I grabbed the corner of his clothes and coquettishly said: "Yun Zheng, can you come up and sleep with me?" ”

He smiled, took off his shoes and curled up into the quilt, I leaned on his side, and I couldn't find a suitable position when I turned around, this big belly pressed me uncomfortable, and I slept on my side and held Yun Zheng, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Yun Zheng saw my angry appearance, chuckled, let me lie facing the inside of the bed, he hugged me gently behind him, feeling that his body and my back were close without gaps, and the body temperature that was not too warm came intimately through my clothes, so I closed my eyes with peace of mind, and fell asleep after a while.

Then I began to dream, dreaming that I gave birth to the baby safely, and the baby's afterbirth also detoxified Yun Zheng's Gu poison. The baby is very beautiful, his eyes are like mine, and everything else looks like Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng and I took him to flutter butterflies among the flowers in the mountains, and when we were having a good time, I didn't know where to crawl out of a snake, the prismatic snake head had a pair of small gloomy eyes, and opened its mouth to bite the baby's feet. Yun Zheng quickly grabbed the poisonous snake and threw it out, but the snake quickly turned its head and bit the back of Yun Zheng's hand, the snake venom quickly swam under his skin like a sandworm, Yun Zheng fell in pain among the flowers, closed his eyes and moaned and convulsed, I was so frightened that my soul flew away: "Yun Zheng ......"

"Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng......" I only felt dizzy, and in a daze, I felt that someone was gently patting my face: "Ye'er? Leaves? Wake up......"

I opened my eyes suddenly, cold sweat pouring down. Yun Zheng's anxious face was close at hand, and I hugged his neck tremblingly: "Yun Zheng......"

"Nightmare?" He gently wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

I closed my eyes, and the terrifying scene of my dream came to life in front of me, and I was terrified. Yun Zheng coaxed me softly, soothing my uneasy emotions. I gradually calmed down in his arms, feeling the relaxation of my emotions, Yun Zheng let go of me and helped me to sit up: "What did you dream of?" ”

I couldn't help but shudder, Yun Zheng felt it keenly, took the brocade fur from the hanger next to the bed, draped it on me, and changed the topic without a trace: "You woke up just right, it's about to be the middle of the day, Ning'er and the others just brought dumplings, get up and eat a little, okay?" ”

I remembered the custom of eating dumplings at twelve o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, nodded and asked Yun Zheng to help me up. Yun Zheng said with a smile: "What do you do when you get up, let Ning'er bring the dwarf table and eat it on the bed." ”

While talking, Ning'er and Xin'er had already come in with a table and a tray. Xin'er said with a smile while serving dumplings: "The ingots are in storage, young master, young grandmother, share the blessings!" ”

I laughed, I had just had such a nightmare, and I was very happy to hear these auspicious words. Yun Zheng saw that I was in a better mood, and he also had a smile on his face, and sat down with me to eat dumplings together. I just ate two bites, biting into a hard thing, I took a look into the bite of the dumpling, it turned out to be a copper coin, Ning'er saw me pull out the copper coin from the dumpling, and said happily: "Congratulations to the young grandmother, this year will definitely attract wealth and treasure, eat the first dumpling and eat the color head." ”

I smiled, put the copper coin on the low table, took the warm towel handed by Xin'er, wiped my hands, took out two red envelopes and a sachet from under the pillow, and handed them to them. The two little girls happily accepted it, I sent them out to eat dumplings too, and when I saw them leaving, I smiled at Yun Zheng and said, "Husband, I also have a gift for you." ”

"Oh?" Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. I said mysteriously, "You close your eyes, and I'll tell you to look when you open them!" ”

Yun Zheng obediently closed his eyes, I rolled out of bed, took out two cartoon dolls each one foot long from the cabinet, hid the dolls behind me, and sat down beside him. These two dolls are the Q version of the cartoon portrait of me and Yun Zheng recently, and then I hid and secretly sewed Yun Zheng on my back, the two dolls can be seen at a glance that it is me and Yun Zheng, but the facial features are funny and cute, I dressed the two dolls in a 21st century wedding dress, and it looks sweet and warm when placed together.

"Alright, open your eyes!" I couldn't help laughing. Yun Zheng opened his eyes, saw that there was nothing in front of him, and he didn't ask, he looked at me with a smile, and I raised the two dolls one by one in front of him from behind: "Dangdangdang, na, this is Xiao Zheng and Xiao Hua." ”

Yun Zheng looked at the two dolls with wide eyes, and a trace of stunned appeared on his always calm face, and then, the corners of his lips gradually grinned, and he couldn't help but smile. He took the two dolls, caressing the dolls' clothes curiously, and I hurriedly offered treasures: "This is the wedding dress of my hometown, Xiaohua is wearing a wedding dress, and Xiaozheng is wearing a suit." ”

"It's cute." Yun Zheng stroked the funny smiling faces of the two dolls, and couldn't put it down, "Did Ye Er make it herself?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded and said mysteriously, "Look for it, they still have secrets!" ”

When Yun Zheng heard this, he rummaged through the doll, and then in the inner layer of Xiao Zheng's suit, he saw two rows of thin words I embroidered with white thread, "Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said". His hand trembled, and he looked up at me, and I pointed to Xiaohua: "She has it too." ”

This time, with experience, he went straight to pick up the lining of Xiaohua's wedding dress, and saw that I also embroidered two rows of "holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son" with the red thread. Yun Zheng looked at the two rows of words stupidly, speechless for a long time, I couldn't help but panic, raised my hand and shook it in front ......of his eyes: "Yun Zheng, are you okay?"

His hand was held in the palm of his hand, Yun Zheng looked at me deeply, and let out a sigh: "Ye'er......"

I leaned into his arms and smiled, "I only have one wish in my life." Yun Zheng, meeting you and falling in love with you is the luckiest and happiest thing in my life......"

He lifted my chin, his lips pressed down, I felt his slightly cool lips with a slight tremble, doubly tenderly responded to his kiss, for a while, he reluctantly let go of me, I smiled and looked at his misty eyes, seeing each other's eyes have their own figures.
