Chapter 174: New Year's Money (Subscription Requested!! )
After taking a New Year's bath, the Spring Festival couplets and the like are also ready; Now it's time to prepare for the New Year's dinner, but it's also a little particular before eating the New Year's dinner.
Yi Cheng first served some dishes and served eight small bowls of rice; The food is served to the table in the hall, which is used to worship the ancestors. This is exquisite, for example, at this time, it was Yi Cheng who went out to arrange the dishes, Wang Fang, Yi Ke and Little Apple were all left in the kitchen, and even Lin Shan, an outsider, did not go to help.
It's the New Year, and the ancestors of the family are also invited to come back for some food and wine; Burn some money for the ancestors of the Yi family to bless the safety of their children and grandchildren, and it is also at this time to look forward to a better year in the coming year. At this time, Yi Ke and Wang Fang also went out, burning money and kowtowing to worship their ancestors.
Lin Shan didn't go out to join in the excitement, and now he is still not married after all; Holding the little apple and sitting in the stove house, he went to the old man's grave in the morning, and I believe that the old man now feels his filial piety. So this ceremony is not going now, after all, it is not in your own home.
"Little Apple, go kowtow to the old ancestor." Yi Ke ran over and pulled the little apple to kowtow, Lin Shan smiled and Yi Cheng at this time and arrived at the rice field with big fireflowers and firecrackers, which was immediately the highlight of the New Year's dinner.
Lin Shan lit a cigarette and prepared to light the flowers, and Yi Cheng set off firecrackers here; The sound of crackling firecrackers, coupled with the sound of 'popping' flowers, means that the meal is ready, the ancestor worship is over, and the New Year's dinner is started. In fact, the sound of firecrackers will be heard in the village one after another, but in the morning, the firecrackers on Lin Shan's side are particularly loud. And now it's Yicheng's house.
"Let's go, go back and serve food for New Year's dinner!" Yi Cheng is full of spirits, the New Year is a happy thing, and the current conditions of the family are getting better and better, his daughter is about to get married, good things are one after another, of course, I have to be happy.
"Little Apple, go get a drink with your sister, and let your grandparents give you New Year's money later!" Seeing that Little Apple was still lying at the door looking at the firecrackers, Lin Shan patted the little guy and asked her to go with Yi Ke to get a drink; Cover the gates. This is one of the customs. This will not open until the end of the New Year's dinner, and seeing that the door of someone else's house is not open, it means that the New Year's dinner is not over, and it is not good to enter the door.
A table full of more than a dozen dishes. Yi Cheng and Wang Fang sat on the upper seat. Iko sat with the little apple in his arms. Lin Shan sat down casually. Ike and Little Apple want to drink milk drinks, Wang Fang drinks a little wine to make a celebration, and Lin Shan specially bought the five grains for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The wine you drink during the Chinese New Year is naturally a little high-grade. Basically, it can be said that the wine drunk at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is definitely the best wine bought at home in a year.
"Come, let's have a drink first. Everyone is healthy and happy in the new year! "As the head of the family, it must be a family reunion wine before the meal.
"Cheers! Cheers! Holding his own bottle of Wangzai's milk, the little apple man and the little ghost clinked glasses one by one, and then drank it all, it seems that this person is crazy The little girl also realized that the New Year is very important and pleasant, so she made a lot of fun.
"Mom and Dad, I salute you and wish you good health and all the best." Lin Shan also stood up with wine, he was about to get married, and he was also going to toast a glass of wine to Ike's parents.
"You are also going to get married soon, I wish you a sweet life and a successful career." Yi Cheng drank this glass of wine with a smile, although his daughter was about to get married, but it was in the village, and Lin Shan's kid was also promising, of course this was a good candidate for a son-in-law.
"Grandparents, Little Apple wishes you good health." Little Apple sat on the bench with a newly opened jar of cows, perhaps with a little blessing to her grandparents, or it was probably the reason why the little girl liked to drink milk very much.
"Then grandma wishes our little apple more and more cute, and when the time comes, will you help your uncle and sister take care of the baby?" Wang Fang smiled and bumped the cup with the little apple, and laughed when she saw the little girl pouting and pouring a jar of milk in one breath.
"Eat some food, this girl can't just drink milk." The atmosphere is very good, but seeing the little girl drink milk and have no fun, this is also a bit of a headache; So now Lin Shan also hurriedly sandwiched some dishes for the little guy, otherwise this little fat girl would only be completely in milk and milk.
The atmosphere is very pleasant, because the current wedding of Lin Shan and Yi Ke is imminent, and it is also because the conditions in the family are getting better and better; The children's career is very promising, plus the family is healthy, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is naturally pleasant, basically a few people have not eaten, it is enough to eat completely vegetables.
In particular, the whitebait on Lin Shan's side has been unanimously praised, and the taste of this thing is good, plus it grows in the space, which is naturally easier to affirm. Matsutake mushrooms, river prawns, bream and vegetables are among the things that everyone eats regularly, and although Weida is really good, it is certainly not as popular as whitebait.
"Next year, we will have a lot of whitebait to eat, as well as river knives, and now I have raised some of this thing, and we will have delicious food in the future." My mother also learned to make hairy crabs, and I also raised some hairy crabs, and this thing is almost ready to eat. We want to eat better and live better in the new year! Lin Shan is very proud, and he also believes that in the new year, he can provide more and more high-quality ingredients.
"Well, next year, when we eat Chinese New Year's Eve, we will definitely have more hearty, there are a lot of good things here in Linshan, and our domestic loaches, yellow eels, and crayfish can also be served." Our family is getting better and better every year! Yi Cheng was very happy, although he drank with a red face and a thick neck, but he was in a good mood, and the amount of wine went up.
"Dad, don't pretend to be confused, you see how long I've been putting down the dishes and chopsticks, look at how long I've been holding the little apple here. Hurry up, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a big meal, but there are still more important things! Ike instigated Little Apple to slap the table and fool around, and I could see that my father was a little drunk, and Ike was almost in trouble.
"Do you still want to press the New Year's money? How big is this? "Don't think about it, it's important to eat New Year's dinner, but for children, eating is the time to make New Year's money; Maybe the customs and habits are different in various places, but here is to pay the New Year's money after eating, which is also the reason why many children sit on the bench after eating and do not move, how can they leave without getting the New Year's money.
"I'll be twenty-five years old after today, anyway, I have to press the New Year's money now, otherwise I will get married, and I won't be so bold when I want to press the New Year's money!" Ike looked proud, he is not married yet, this is not a complete adult, and it is reasonable to ask his parents for New Year's money, even if he has a job now, but he wants to celebrate the New Year.
"Okay, I'll give you New Year's money." Yi Cheng smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket that had been prepared a long time ago, as for the use of red envelopes and the like, it was not necessary, it was for relatives and children to use politely.
"Hehe, it's good to be in a good mood to have New Year's money." Yi Kehehe's result was to press the New Year's money, and sat on the bench with a proud face and was ready to start counting the money.
"This is Lin Shan's." Wang Fang also took out the New Year's money and handed it to Lin Shan, although Lin Shan can indeed make money, but this is the New Year's money, and there is nothing to excuse and take it directly, he is not good to count the money directly with Yi Ke with the same small fortune fan, but it is estimated that this stack of banknotes can also be five or six thousand.
"Our little apple is still small, so grandma will give you less and buy snacks and toys." Little Apple looked at Wang Fang and Yi Cheng with blank eyes, Uncle Watermelon and Sister Pretty have New Year's money, and now only Little Apple is left.
"Xie Lu Xie Grandma!" Little Apple giggled and took the New Year's money, the amount of money is not particularly important to her, she just likes that people care about her.
"Give me the money, I'll help you collect it, it's hundreds of dollars, it's not good to lose it later." Lin Shan really plans to help Xiao Apple put away the New Year's money, after all, the little girl is still a little smaller, and it may not be very safe to carry a few hundred yuan on her body, who knows if the little girl can put the money away.
"No, my mother always said to help me collect money, but then I couldn't find it." Little Apple turned around arrogantly and carefully put the money into her small pocket, "Xiaobai, I'll take you to buy delicious food, I'm rich, red money!" ”
Lin Shan was a little embarrassed, the little girl was childish, but as soon as the little girl said this, it made her look like she had ulterior motives to 'embezzle' Little Apple's New Year's money. And the quirkiness of the little girl also made Wang Fang and Yi laugh, maybe the little girl's words at this time also resonated with many people.
I am very happy to get the New Year's money, and it seems that a lot of people can be good and chic; But the parents stood up and 'kept' the New Year's money, but this custody made this New Year's money 'disappear', and the real New Year's money was really limited.
After eating the New Year's dinner, the next time is the time for free activities; Wang Fang beckoned Lin Shan and Yi Ke to help clean up the table, to quickly wash the dishes and sweep the floor, etc., otherwise the mahjong pair will sit on the table, although usually they occasionally play mahjong, but this is Chinese New Year's Eve, playing mahjong can also be regarded as a traditional activity; As for the Spring Festival Gala and the like, it's better to leave it to others to enjoy, or it will be more interesting to play mahjong in the future.
Lin Shan and Yi Ke didn't play mahjong, and walked around the village after eating New Year's dinner; Little Apple is also happy to greet the New Year everywhere also makes the little purse bulge a little, they still have to go to the restaurant, there is still waiting for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!
