479.Lunar New Year's Day (4/10)
After returning home, it became lively, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family had to drink wine and eat good food, rewarding the hard work of the year, and at the same time there was a Spring Festival Gala to watch, and it was the most joyful night of the year for the croppers.
This time, all the staff went out to cook the evening's dishes, Winnie and Auerbach made Western food, Qin's mother, Qin's father and Qin Shiou made Chinese food, and Shirley gave them a hand. Bird set up a barbecue and took the kids to make a barbecue, and that's what they did.
The oven was welded by Bird himself in the past few days, Qin Peng had materials and electric welding, and Bird easily made two ovens, one large and one small.
In the evening, one after another good dishes were served, Father Qin brought the wine and drinks to the table, and the wide kang was crowded, and Qin Shiou and Father Qin had to stand below.
There were many people, and Qin's father and Qin's mother were very happy. In the past, since my sister got married, there was only one child left in the family, and there were only three people in Chinese New Year's Eve, which was really boring.
This year is cool, there are four children alone, foreign language, Chinese mixed said, is there more lively than this?
What's more, there is a bear, a wolf, two dogs, and a white-headed eagle on the ground, Bush Jr. is fine, there is no movement when he grabs the armrest of the chair, and when the tigers, leopards, bears and wolves get together and have no peace, they grab food, drink, and play, so that Qin Shiou is busy.
The classic opening music of the Spring Festival Gala sounded, and shining fireworks appeared in the night sky outside, () Father Qin raised his glass to lift the wine: "Today is our Chinese New Year's Eve, that, welcome Auerbach and Bird to be guests, I hope that next year our family will have more people, cough cough." I mean that, you know, little gull, right? ”
Qin Shiou is helpless, this can also have something to do with having a child? He waved his hand and said, "Dad." You go on, hurry up. The dishes are cold. ”
Winnie smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad continued, I'll heat up the food when it's cold." ”
She and Qin's father and Qin's mother are on the same front, and she also wants children.
Qin's father and Qin's mother laughed, and finally Qin's father said, 'Everyone is healthy and everything is going well', and then he took the lead in making a drink, tonight except for Bird, everyone else drank grape fruit wine, pure fruit wine is not on the head, you can drink it hard.
Eat rice cakes first. This is a heavy dish for the 30th night, symbolizing the meaning of the year is high.
The rice cakes in Qin Shiou's hometown are all sweet millet cakes, he heard that this thing is still salty? Isn't that messing around? Rice cakes are all sweet, rice dumplings are also sweet, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes must be salty......
The effect of three people eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and ten people eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is completely different, more than ten people talk and laugh and eat slowly, but also watch the Spring Festival Gala program, so that the meal is eaten very slowly, plus occasionally teasing tigers, leopards, bears and wolves. Before you know it, it's twelve o'clock in the morning.
On TV, the hosts were greeting the New Year, Qin Shiou also paid New Year's greetings to his parents, Auerbach, Winnie and others followed, and the people at the table greeted each other.
Winnie told the four children about the customs of Qin Shiou's hometown. When Shirley and the others saw that everyone had paid New Year's greetings, they knelt down and kowtowed to Qin's father and Qin's mother, saying that grandparents had a good New Year.
Father Qin and Mother Qin smiled from ear to ear. took out the prepared big red envelope and stuffed one by one, Xiong blinked and looked at it. Then he was very clever and lay on the ground, and hit the ground twice with his fat head.
This scene really stunned Qin's father and Qin's mother. Father Qin hurriedly let the people on the kang squeeze in, and with great difficulty put Xiong Da on the kang, he laughed and said, "Why do you say this bear is so smart?" Oh, I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard of a bear kowtowing to the New Year! ”
Xiong Da went to the table and followed the devil into the village, and Winnie brought it fruit salad and fried chicken nuggets, and what it ate, opened its mouth and devoured it.
Mother Qin rubbed Xiong Da's soft hairy ears with satisfaction, and said, "No wonder you have to bring these things back for the New Year, they are really like family, they know everything, it's good." ”
Scattered firecrackers rang out outside, and soon the sound of firecrackers became louder and louder, and began to become incessant.
After eating, I used to go to bed, but today Qin's father and Qin's mother were really excited, and they didn't feel sleepy at all, so Winnie arranged for the four children to go back to the room first, and a group of adults took out the cards and continued to play.
Playing until four o'clock, Qin's father received the cards and was ready to go to the dumplings, and after eating the dumplings, he was going to pay New Year's greetings. They have a big family and a lot of people come to pay their respects, so they have to open the door early, so of course they need to eat early.
Qin Shiou went out to set off firecrackers with Bird, and in the house, Winnie accompanied Qin's father to make dumplings, and he looked back at the figure in the light, feeling very satisfied.
Once again, he thanked himself for being able to restrain his desire and keep his heart, if he wasn't devoted to Winnie, but with beautiful women in Canada, then maybe he would be happy occasionally, but not so happy on an important holiday like the New Year.
From half past five, before dawn, people came to visit the door to pay New Year's greetings.
No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. Because of Qin Shiou, there are a lot of people who go to their house to pay New Year's greetings this year, and some relatives who have come out of the five suits, that is, they have to count several generations up, also came to visit Qin's father and mother for the New Year.
That makes sense, anyway, their family is big.
Winnie prepared a large stack of red envelopes, she accompanied Qin's mother, as long as there were children among the people who came, she would immediately send one, happy and festive, Qin's mother was happy.
After all, this is the first foreign bride in their world, who is beautiful and has a good temperament, and has long been curious, and this time I took the opportunity to come and see it.
Winena has received special etiquette training, there are etiquette classes in college, and there are etiquette classes when she works, she treats people and things gently, and answers the questions of her elders without leaking, so that the people who greet the New Year are convinced after seeing it.
Later, the people in the village used Winnie as a benchmark for educating their children and grandchildren: "Study hard, go to a good university, and find a good job after graduation, otherwise you can find a good daughter-in-law like the Qin family's Xiaoou in the future?" ”
Qin Shiou was also very happy to accompany Qin's father on the road, because they were of great age, and almost everyone they met on the road gave them New Year's greetings.
Walking and running into Qin Peng, this kid saw Qin Shiou and lowered his head and shrank into the crowd. They have a large family, and there are only six uncles and uncles, unlike Qin Shiou's family, where two consecutive males pass alone.
Qin Shiou grabbed Qin Peng and said with a smile: "Come, nephew, it's a New Year's greeting to your uncle, are you still wearing a suit and tie today?" Oh, this guy looks like a dog. ”
"Damn, you're a beast, will you let your brother go? I called you uncle, and I won't have the face to see you in the future. Qin Peng smiled helplessly.
"Hurry up, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so why do you give my dad a New Year's greeting?"
"Grandpa, have a good New Year."
Father Qin laughed and said to Qin Shiou: "Okay, okay, don't toss Dapeng, what kind of seniority do you guys talk about." ”
Qin Peng got rid of Qin Shiou and ran away, Qin Shiou shouted from behind: "I'll go to your house later, if your daughter doesn't know how to call uncle, I only ask your wife!" (To be continued......) R1292
