Chapter 109: Chinese New Year (2)
In the end, after the dish was cooked and served on the table, grandma and others picked up the chopsticks under the persuasion of Lin Mier, symbolically clamped the clip and put down the chopsticks, light smile and shallow feather didn't care, this was the dish they brought, or their mother washed and cut and burned, the eldest aunt said that it was helping, in fact, it was to add firewood to the fire, and pull her mother there to say how fortunate and hard she was.
The two of them deliberately didn't see their grandmother's black face and their aunt's elongated face, and they ate most of the delicious dishes. That's it, I didn't hear my grandmother say a word, it seems that my uncle still has the role of Qin Qiong and Jingde - the door god. The meal was finished in a quiet atmosphere, and there was no feeling of New Year's joy at all, but only a depressed and dull atmosphere. Qianxiao really couldn't eat in such an atmosphere, she only ate a little bit and hurriedly got off the table, she couldn't stay, eating in such a situation, Qianxiao was afraid that she would have indigestion.
"If you don't like it, we don't have to put on such a position, do we? It's good to just say it, you're comfortable, I'm happy, everyone is ......"
"What are you muttering about?"
"Who?" Xiaoxiao turned around and saw his cousin Lin Yuanda standing behind him, "Don't you know that people can be scared to death?" A light smile patted the still pounding heart and said with some annoyance. In fact, there are also people who talk badly behind their backs and are uncomfortable being caught.
"Okay, you actually said it during the Chinese New Year...... Say ......" Lin Yuanda covered his mouth with his hands, and a pair of almond eyes rolled around, "I want to sue Grandma SΓΉ that you just said something unlucky." β
The little kid put on a haughty look, and from time to time glanced at a light smile with his eyes, making it clear that he wanted to smile and bow his head to please him. Laughing lightly, my cousin at this time was still a cute little shoe, a little tempered and a little arrogant, and he had not yet reached the point of being spoiled. The light smile is a little shaken, is it necessary to involve children in matters between adults? And looking at the appearance of her mother Lin Mier, she is also a person who will not abandon her family affection, why should she do something annoying before things deteriorate, and you can also think about the good side. That's it, for the sake of the eldest uncle. Light smile decided to train her cousin well, no matter whether she has achievements or not, at least she won't be spoiled because of the eldest son and eldest grandson. A thought flashed through the light smile's mind, but it was too fast to catch it.
"What are you going to say to your grandmother? Did I just say something I shouldn't have said? With a light smile, he looked at Lin Yuanda innocently with wide eyes.
"You say people are scary, they're going to scare people to death." Seeing that Qianxiao didn't admit it, Lin Yuanda panicked, so he repeated Qianxiao's words. "Look at the word death in your sentence, grandma doesn't like to say these unlucky words during the New Year, such as death, illness, and ruined wealth...... Finished. How can I say so much at once. Lin Yuanda's panicked appearance made him laugh lightly, and Lin Yuanda, who came back to his senses, also knew his plan to smile in the middle, and glared at him angrily, "It's you, you led me to say it, I'm going to sue Grandma SΓΉ, let her punish you, and drive you out." β
"Cut, you come here when I like it. But for the sake of your amusement today, I don't think I heard what you just said. No one passes by here anyway. β
"Really? You're not going to say what I just said? Lin Yuanda asked cautiously: "If you don't say it, then I won't sue, let's settle it." Having said that, Lin Yuanda's expression didn't mean to please and smile at all, and he still looked like he was on top.
A light smile nodded approvingly, this little thing has not been taken to heart: "Okay, a word is a certainty." β
"It's a deal." After speaking, Lin Yuanda asked again and again in disbelief: "You can really keep it secret and won't sue again?" I'm sure you're right? β
"You're such a boy and you're so talkative, it's a shame to compare yourself to me. I, a girl younger than you, know the truth that a gentleman says that a horse is difficult to chase. You are older than me, and you have more books than me, don't you understand this? A light smile squinted at Lin Yuanda.
"Of course I understand the truth, but you are not a gentleman. It's just a woman, I haven't heard that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Lin Yuanda retorted very unfairly, he was just spoiled and rude, he still read a lot of books, and he understood the simple and superficial truths.
"Cut, you also know that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Take my word for it. Am I a woman and a villain? β
Qianxiao really wanted to see his cousin make a foreign appearance, but unfortunately Lin Yuanda was not fooled. Instead, he quickly calmed down, and half-said and half-swallowed his distrust just now: "I'm sorry." β
"I have to pay attention to small things. We're half and half, there's no right or wrong, and you don't need to say sorry to me. "I was really surprised that Lin Yuanda would apologize, but the other party apologized, and he had to be generous, there was no need to be so careful.
Lin Yuanda felt that his little cousin was different from the girls in the class, she wouldn't be delicate, this was not good, she didn't agree, it seems that what his father said is still very reasonable. "I heard you're in business?"
"Everyone in the family knows that you still ask such idiotic questions."
"Didn't I just find out?" Lin Yuanda sat down on the side of the light smile and looked up at the sky together. Today's sky is exceptionally beautiful, with fireworks flying up to the stars from time to time, embellishing a different brilliance in the dark night, and falling like a meteor. The sound of firecrackers began to sound in the residential area, as well as the smoke after the sulfur, and the atmosphere of the New Year began to approach in such firecrackers.
There is no TV at my grandmother's house now, and everyone has nothing to do, so they sit around and chat while eating melon seeds, and keep vigil by the way.
Xiaoxiao, Qianyu and his cousin and uncle sat together, and the four of them played cards together, that is, compared to the size.
"I'm not playing, I'm so bored." Light smile pushed away the cards in front of him after another game, "Let's go boil some water and take a shower, and then sleep beautifully, and tomorrow we can change into new clothes to collect the New Year's money." β
"Well, it's not interesting to sit anyway." Asaba agreed.
"But...... But it's still early at twelve o'clock. Lin Yuanda spit out such a sentence, a little reluctant to play without adult constraints and without time restrictions.
"Let's go, the Chinese New Year's Eve is like this, there is a TV and you can watch the Spring Festival Gala for a while." We don't want to make dumplings here like the north, that is, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, keep the year, every year, you are still reluctant? Tomorrow is the highlight of the New Year, and you can go out to play with the New Year's money. Let's go. It's better to go to bed early to refresh your spirits and wake up early tomorrow. Lin Jianjun pulled up Lin Yuanda, who was struggling.
"Won't our house set off fireworks this year?" Lin Yuanda had some doubts.
"What kind of fireworks are set off, it's a pure waste of money. You look at how many people are putting it in their homes every year in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they are not inferior to our family, so it is not very good for others to put us down. It's also free! Lin Jianjun explained eloquently. And Lin Yuanda was completely stunned. also echoed: "Uncle, you are so talented!" β
"Hahaha...... You guys are a living couple. "Light smile and light feather hurt their stomachs by laughing at such a conversation.
Qianxiao and Qianyu knew that their uncle was playing tricks on their cousin, how could they not set off fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year, and besides, grandma's house was not the kind of poor clanging family, did they not know about fireworks. Even if there is a light smile, it will not be the turn of the sisters, and the firecrackers will definitely not be less, and the representative of the festive, grandma must express. But Qianxiao has no interest in these, that's it, it's not his own home, he can't feel the spirit of the year, and he went to bed with Qianyu early.
The next day, Light Laughter was woken up by the deafening sound of firecrackers. There are closing the door cannon on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the door opening cannon on the morning of the first day of the new year, which is an indispensable thing for every household, and does not care about the sound and number of firecrackers. Just a formality.
It can be painful to get out of the warm bed, let alone when you're still sleepy. Xiaoxiao reluctantly opened her eyes and looked out the window, it was not yet dawn, and it was still gray outside. "Well, it's early. Sleep again! He smiled and muttered, rubbed his cheek against the quilt, and continued to sleep.
"Smile, Xiao Yu got up."
Light smile reluctantly opened her eyes, "Mom." Why did you wake up so early? It's not dawn yet. β
"Mom, are all the people in my grandmother's house up?" As soon as the words of light laughter fell, Asa Yu asked.
"Wake up, your grandmother asked the temple to burn incense early this morning. That will make everyone sleep in. Hurry up, it's not good to keep everyone waiting when it's late. Lin Mier urged.
"Got it, I'll get up."
Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu got up, changed into new clothes, folded the quilt, and went downstairs to wash. Wait for a while to get it right. Only to find out that everyone was already eating breakfast. It was not too late at the moment, Qianyu and Qianxiao scooped the porridge directly from the cauldron and brought it to the table, and drank the pickles and bean paste without speaking.
"Happy New Year to grandparents and grandparents! Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! Happy New Year, little uncle! Happy New Year, Auntie! Happy New Year, cousin! Happy New Year to Mom and Sister! When everyone washed and cleaned up the dishes and was about to go out, he remembered the most important thing - forgetting that the New Year was good and that he was going to press the New Year's money!
"I'm still wondering when you're going to remember?" The little uncle frowned on the side.
"Haven't I been awake yet? Besides, I forgot that it's not better for you to save a sum of money. After getting the red envelope from her grandparents, she cheekily spread her hand in front of Lin Jianjun: "Give it, little uncle." I'm embarrassed if I don't take it from you first. β
"...... you" Lin Jianjun stopped in discouragement, obediently took out three red paper bags wrapped in red paper from his jacket pocket, and handed them to Lin Yuanda, Qianyu and Qianxiao respectively. I'm losing a lot of money, and I'm still studying and I'm going to start giving out red envelopes. β
"Who calls you our elder, the level is different, of course, the treatment is different." After getting Lin Jianjun's red envelope, Qian Yu also quipped: "If you stand on the same line with us today, then you will not give out red envelopes but receive red envelopes, so there is no way for you to compare with our real children, little uncle." β
"That's it, uncle, although you are not old, you have different generations, so there is nothing to complain about. Let's go, Xiao Yu smiled and smiled, we still have the red envelope confiscated? Lin Yuanda's eyes looked vigorously in Lin Jianhua's direction, but he didn't dare to go by himself, hoping that Xiao Yu and Xiaoxiao would stop talking nonsense with Lin Jianjun, and go over with him, so that they would be brave. (To be continued.) )
