"You're all up?" As soon as Tian Dalin entered the door, he said loudly: "Young autumn and young spring, let's come to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Yang." ”
Mrs. Yang hurriedly stood up, waved her hand and said, "Don't, don't, that's good." ”
Hao Lanxin said: "The villain should share the New Year's greetings for the elderly. This head has to knock on everything. Then he said to Tian Dalin: "Let's go to my aunt's house first and pay our respects, and then pay New Year's greetings to my aunt." ”
Tian Dalin patted his head: "I forgot about this." ”
So, the family flocked to the big house in the east and kowtowed to the family hall where Mrs. Yang was enshrined. Then he gave a New Year's greeting to Mrs. Yang who came over.
Seeing this, Tian Miaomiao also followed the example of her parents and brothers, knelt down at Mrs. Yang, and shouted in her mouth: "Give Grandma Yang a New Year's greeting." ”
Mrs. Yang was so happy that tears rolled in her eyes, and she hugged Tian Miaomiao and kissed her. He then took out a stack of one-yuan renminbi, and each child gave two sheets.
Hao Lanxin saw that the amount of money was a bit large, so she hurriedly stopped and refused to give it away.
Mrs. Yang said, "Niece and daughter-in-law, this is a little bit of my heart. There is no more. You will fulfill me. The children have called me 'grandma' and 'grandma' for more than half a year, and every time I call, my heart warms for a long time. Besides, even if a few children take the money, they will not spend it indiscriminately, they are all sensible and good children. ”
Hao Lanxin had no choice but to give up.
Tian Qingqing took the heavy two New Year's money, but she had a different feeling in her heart:
Money is worth a lot at this time. Two dollars is not a small amount. Yesterday, when I discussed with my mother about giving outsiders New Year's money to their children, my mother said that under normal circumstances, I would give one and two cents. Tian Qingqing said "Let's give a piece", I don't know if my mother adopted it.
But Mrs. Yang gave two pieces, which is enough to show that this old lady trusts and loves this family.
Tian Qingqing did not pay New Year's greetings. Because in the countryside, unmarried girls are not allowed to pay New Year's greetings. Even if it's your own biological parents. Tian Qingqing had no choice but to stick to the old rules.
"Mom. When you made dumplings yesterday, did you make Fu money? When cooking dumplings, Tian Qingqing asked.
Bao Fu Qian is also a folk custom. On the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when making five more dumplings, a coin was wrapped in a dumpling. Moreover, regardless of the size of the family, each family can only have one. Whoever eats this coin will be the most blessed person in this family this year.
Yesterday, Tian Qingqing didn't make dumplings at home, so he didn't know. However, he wrapped a steel hammer into the dumplings in the old courtyard.
"Wrapped." Hao Lanxin said: "Let's see who is lucky to eat it in a while!" ”
Tian Qingqing: "Mom, who do you want to get the blessing money?" ”
Hao Lanxin: "This is not something that anyone can eat. There is only one blessing money in a big pot of dumplings, and there is no mark, it all depends on luck. ”
The dumplings are filled with cabbage and pork. Because of the amount of meat used, it was almost "balled".
As soon as Tian Youqiu Akita heard that there was lucky money in the dumplings, he was in a hurry to grab it. Every time I pick up a dumpling, it's like picking up a hope, take a bite, no, a little disappointed, and hurriedly clip the next one. I couldn't eat them all, and I refused to stop my chopsticks for the sake of that lucky money.
Mrs. Yang also ate very carefully. Every time you pick up a dumpling and take a bite, you have to look at the filling inside. Then he exclaimed: "There is so much meat in this dumpling, it has become meatballs." Or, "It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten such delicious and fragrant dumplings for several years!" ”
Tian Qingqing could see that she was also looking forward to being able to eat blessing money.
Tian Qingqing was also carefully eating the dumplings in her bowl. Before picking up a dumpling, use chopsticks to pestle it to feel if there is anything hard inside.
And in his heart, he was looking forward to the coin coming out of Mrs. Yang's mouth.
At this dinner table, the one who needs the most comfort is Mrs. Yang. I traveled to my biological parents, and due to the difference between my previous life and my current life circle, I came into contact with different things and people, and I also felt lonely and strange.
As the saying goes, "I miss my relatives every festival", Mrs. Yang is too attached to the life under the fence, and there is no blood related relatives in front of her, so she must feel frustrated and painful.
The greatest wish of a person under the fence is to bring unprecedented fortune to the host family and change his position in the family because of his own savings.
Bao Fu Qian is originally a good wish of people. If this wish is obtained by a frustrated person, it is much more meaningful than if it is obtained by a person who is in happiness. It is very likely that it will become his or her spiritual pillar in the future.
Then, he or she should really sit on this pillar and enjoy it happily.
Suddenly felt that the dumplings were very hard, and Tian Qingqing knew that this was a blessing. After a burst of joy, he put the hard dumpling on top of a bowl of dumplings, brought it to Mrs. Yang, and said, "Grandma Yang, you eat this bowl." ”
Mrs. Yang hurriedly stopped and said, "If you don't pull it, this bowl will be eaten." ”
"Then less so." Tian Qingqing said, dialing a few from Mrs. Yang's bowl. Among them was the stiff dumpling.
"Ah, oh."
Old Lady Yang screamed softly, and a silver steel crash spat out of her mouth.
"Grandma Yang is eating the blessing money." The whole family put the dishes and chopsticks, laughed, and blessed Mrs. Yang.
Tian Qingqing smiled the sweetest and most beautiful, and said in a soft voice: "Grandma Yang has eaten blessing money in the first year here, she is really a blessed and noble person"!
Mrs. Yang's face was full of happiness, and she smiled with a smile: "Blessed is also borrowed from your light." When I came to your house, I really entered the Blessing Hall. ”
"Grandma Yang, tell us the story of Fu Qian!" Tian Youqiu said.
At last night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they learned that Old Mrs. Yang could tell stories. Today's Fu Qian was eaten by her again, and she was considered a blessed person, and she must know the story (origin) of Fu Qian.
Mrs. Yang did not shirk, and said happily: "This year's lucky money has been eaten by Grandma Yang, and Grandma Yang should tell you the origin of the lucky money."
"Legend has it that the God of Wealth in the sky, every time the New Year comes, he pushes a cart of treasure to the world and scatters it to every household. The people respected him very much, and they all brought him delicious food to eat. Slowly, the God of Wealth will be unevenly divided, and when he sees that whoever gives him more and more delicious things, he will give more treasures to whomever he wants, and whoever takes out less and is not delicious, he will give less to whomever he wants.
"There are also people in the world who do not believe in God, so they do not prepare food and eat for the God of Wealth. When the God of Wealth saw this, he lost his temper, not only did he not give these family treasures, but also confiscated their New Year's things, which made these people complain.
After the Jade Emperor learned about this, he severely criticized the God of Wealth. Say to him, 'You are the one I sent to scatter wealth, why do you accept bribes from men?' If you don't change it, you will be removed from your position as a dispersant. ’
And this came to the world. In order to let the God of Wealth give him more treasures, people put the things to be sent with bread, hide them from the eyes of the Jade Emperor, and then give them to the God of Wealth. Over time, the custom of wrapping money into dumplings was formed. The implication is to exchange small money for big money from the God of Wealth. ”
"I don't know how much I can exchange?" Tian Youchun asked seriously with a glare.
The people at the table burst into laughter.
Tian Dalin: "Actually, it's just a good wish of people. You think, there is money in the dumplings, so naturally someone has to eat them. As a result, people regard the person who eats the money as the blessing star of the family, not only to be blessed themselves, but also to bring blessings to the family. ”
"Then why don't you pack a few more? One person eats one, how good it is! Tian Youchun said again, his little eyes were full of expectation.
Hao Lanxin: "If you eat it all, you won't know who the lucky star is!" ”
Tian Youchun: "Isn't it better to be all lucky stars?" ”
Tian Qingqing saw that people couldn't answer, so she said: "Yesterday I made dumplings at my grandmother's house, and my grandfather also talked about the origin of the blessing money. It's exactly the same as what Grandma Yang said. I also asked why I only made a dumpling with a fortune money.
"Grandpa said, because there is only one God of Wealth, and each family can only produce one lucky star. And because one has the greatest variability, it can be changed to ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, which fully reflects the performance of changing from less to more. Therefore, each family can only make one coin dumpling on Chinese New Year's Eve every year. ”
Mrs. Yang: "It's still Qingqing's good memory." As long as you listen to any story once, you can tell it clearly. This kid has a really good brain. Grandma Yang only knows the story, and she really doesn't know why she only packs a blessing money. This time, even I understood. ”
After eating dumplings, the children who didn't get up for the fifth watch were going to their grandparents to pay New Year's greetings. It is not necessarily true kowtow when you go, the main thing is to let the old people of the next generation experience the happiness of their children and grandchildren around their knees. And everyone, regardless of their grandchildren, has to go. One less, and the grandparents have to ask why they didn't come.
Of course, the biggest temptation is the annual New Year's money.
When Tian Qingqing and the others arrived there, Tian Yuanyuan, Tian Cuicui, Tian Youbing and Tian Youhu, who were closest to them, had already arrived first.
"Grandpa, grandma, happy New Year." Tian Qingqing shouted first.
No matter how big the festival is, the auspicious words of the first day of the new year still have to be said. What's more, Tian Lu's current cousin no longer disgusted Tian Qingqing.
"Qiu'er, Qingqing, you're here." Tian Lu greeted Tian Qingqing and them very warmly.
"We're greeting grandpa and grandma." Tian Youqiu said, called Tian Youchun, and asked Tian Youbing if he had bowed. Seeing Tian Youbing shaking his head, he also pulled him up, and solemnly kowtowed to Tian Jinhe. After that, he knocked one to Tian Lu's family.
"And me, boy." Tian Damu walked out of the Xili room and patted Tian Youqiu lightly on the back of the head: "I don't know how to pay New Year's greetings to me during the New Year, and let me urge it." ”RS
