Chapter 113: Chinese New Year
The next time passed smoothly, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the last day of the fifteenth year of Yongzhi.
The thirtieth month of the month, like Chen Xiaoting's previous life, is called Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Chen family, who had been working hard for a year, gathered in the main hall of the house at this time, and Gao Erniang had prepared a table of sumptuous wine and food.
Since Chen Xiaoting was on an errand, the life of the Chen family has become more and more prosperous day by day, which is intuitively reflected in the Chen family's dining table and the Chen family's clothing.
The family of five all changed into new clothes, and the dinner table was slowly set up with a table of wine and food, chickens, ducks, fish and geese.
Chen Xiaoting was dressed in a blue robe at this time, and his hair was tied with a net, and he didn't look like a famous brocade guard, but like a scholar.
But Chen Xiaoting knew that he didn't want to enter the profession through learning in his life, not to mention the four books and five classics that seemed to be big, and the Jinyi Wei system alone made him lose this thought.
Raising his glass, Chen Xiaoting said to his family: "Dad, mother...... Your two elders have worked hard this year, and my son toasts you with a cup! ”
Although his son was promoted to an official, he was still so filial, which made Chen Dayong feel very relieved.
At this time, Chen Xiaolin, who was gnawing on the chicken leg on the side, also put down the work in his hand, rubbed his hands and hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and saluted the second elder: "Big brother is right, Daddy, you are hard!" ”
Gao Erniang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay...... You two brothers have worked hard too! ”
Watching the two elder brothers toast to their parents, Chen Xiaoyu felt that it was funny and picked up her cup, which was the juice that Chen Xiaoting specially squeezed for her.
"I also want to respect my father and mother......" Chen Xiaoyu stood up and said, although he was small, his voice was not small.
Seeing the filial appearance of his little daughter, Chen Dayong, who had not moved, laughed, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "Xiao Yu'er respects me, this wine has to be drunk!" ”
Hearing Daddy's words, the two Chen Xiaoting brothers couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
The father was indifferent to the two of them, and he was very face-saving to the little girl, so that the two of them couldn't figure it out.
But in fact, it is also very understandable that Chen Dayong, who has retired, has nothing to do, his two sons have affairs in the yamen, and only the youngest daughter is by his side.
What's more, her daughter is a little padded jacket who is a father, how can Chen Dayong not spoil Chen Xiaoyu more.
But no matter what, the family is always harmonious and beautiful, so they all drink the wine in the cup.
After drinking, the family began to gossip, talking about the shortcomings of the family.
For example, the father and son of the old Zheng family always quarrel with each other, and the old Zhao family plans to marry Zhao Ying as a daughter-in-law......
Soon, the topic came to Chen Xiaoting, and he heard Gao Erniang say: "Xiaoting, you are not too old now, the Zhao family is a few months younger than you, and now Zhang Luo is marrying a daughter-in-law......
"I look at you, it's time to get in on it!" The second year of high school fell into the road.
Originally, Chen Xiaoting chatted happily, but when it came to him, he couldn't laugh.
I saw him put down his chopsticks, and then said, "Mother, don't worry about this, there are so many good girls...... You have to pick it slowly! ”
"Are you still afraid that your son won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" Chen Xiaoting asked.
Of course, Gao Erniang is not worried that Chen Xiaoting will not be able to marry his daughter-in-law, her son became a small flag official of Jinyi Wei at a young age, and I don't know how many girls are willing to marry her.
It can be said that Chen Xiaoting is the pride of Gao Erniang, and the capital that she bragged about with her neighbor's wife.
But to make it clear, Gao Erniang is the same as all mothers in this era, and they all hope that their son can start a family as soon as possible.
The so-called starting a family and starting a business must become a family before starting a business.
So Gao Erniang said: "There are many good girls, I think the girl of the Zheng family is good, the two of you have grown up together since childhood, and you know each other...... A good match! ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting almost ran away without taking the road, and this is arranged for his mother?
Although Zheng Xuan'er has a sweet appearance and a good temper and personality, Chen Xiaoting always feels that something is wrong.
Of course, such a girl is her wife, and Chen Xiaoting will not feel that she is losing.
But Chen Xiaoting still said: "Mother, let's talk about this later...... No hurry! ”
Gao Erniang's face suddenly fell, and then she heard her say, "Don't worry...... You're not in a hurry, I'm so anxious to hold my grandson! ”
Am I just here to give birth to your grandchildren? Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but slander in his heart.
Who knows, Chen Dayong also said at this time: "What your mother said is right, you are not too young, it's time to find a daughter-in-law!" ”
"I think the old Zheng family also has the intention of taking relatives, so it's better to just decide!"
Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time felt anxious in his heart, the fate of parents in this era is not for fun.
So Chen Xiaoting hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry...... The son has just raised the small flag, but he can't affect his career because of family affairs! ”
"You always know that Lord Qianhu values me, and if he wants to give me his daughter, if I get married early...... Didn't you miss it! ”
These words are undoubtedly very lethal, no matter what, Chen Xiaoting's future is the priority, if it is really as Chen Xiaoting said, it is really a big loss to get married early.
Gao Erniang didn't know how to speak, so she turned the woodpipe to her husband, but she didn't make a sound when she saw Chen Dayong.
It took a while to hear Gao Erniang say, "What's your ...... You have to worry about your own business, my mother doesn't care about you! ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mother, when will you go to your uncle's house, do you want me to accompany you?" ”
Returning to her parents' house was a big deal for Gao Erniang, and she quickly diverted her attention and began to talk with Chen Dayong and his son.
bypassed the topic of getting married, and the parents in the back chatted very easily, and then Chen Xiaoting knew that he had taken a good look at the shop in Nancheng.
Just waiting for the payment of the deed, the first shop of the Chen family opened, and according to Chen Dayong's idea, he planned to open a teahouse.
Chen Xiaoting has no opinion on this, opening a teahouse is the easiest business, and it is easier for Daddy Chen to start with it.
Speaking of which, Chen Dayong is only thirty-six or seventeen, about the same age as Shen Yue of Qianhu, so it's just right to find something to do.
After cleaning up after the meal, Chen Da used two people to keep a New Year's Eve around the stove in the main hall, while Chen Xiaoting and the two were pestered by Chen Xiaoyu and set off fireworks in the courtyard.
It is most difficult for children to refuse such strange and fun things, and the fireworks of the Chen family quickly attracted many half-grown children, who were basically all children of Jinyiwei.
As a small flag officer, these children may have to be used under him in the future, so he did not treat these children badly.
More than a dozen people got a share of the fireworks, running and shouting in the snow inside and outside the courtyard, reflecting the atmosphere and flavor of the New Year vividly.
This is the first year since Chen Xiaoting crossed over, and the warmth of his family made him feel warm, and he didn't feel lonely after crossing at all.
On the contrary, when Chen Xiaoting thinks about the events of his previous life, loneliness comes to his heart, and he was so lonely in his previous life.
A good life, a kind family, a glossy future...... Chen Xiaoting fell in love with this era.
For the upcoming sixteenth year of Yongzhi, Chen Xiaoting was full of expectations, which made him smile unconsciously.
"Oh...... Oh...... Set off fireworks, ...... New Year" Chen Xiaoyu doesn't live in the yard and runs, and Chen Xiaolin plays with everything.
After a while, Chen Xiaoyu ran to Chen Xiaoting, handed him another firework in his hand, pulled him and said, "Big brother, let's play together......
Chen Xiaoting was not hypocritical, and after lifting Chen Xiaoyu to his shoulder, he said, "Xiaoyu, sit ...... tight"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaoyu's more cheerful shouts sounded in the courtyard, and the New Year was coming!
