On the thirtieth day, Dahe Village woke up very early, and Liu Bicao was still the first to get up in the Shen family, followed by Shen's mother and Shen Mei.

Everyone in the family was wearing new clothes and shoes made by Shen's mother and Liu Bicao, and Shen He and Shen Jinyan couldn't wait to play with the fireworks sticks brought back by Shen Jinqian when they got up together.

"Two fools, this thing has to be played at night to look good, what are you playing with now." Shen Jinxin held the bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, "Go for breakfast." ”

The two of them put down the fireworks sticks as they said, and ran to the kitchen to have breakfast.

After the family finished breakfast in the kitchen, they began to prepare the reunion dinner again, and Shen's mother arranged things for everyone to do when they had breakfast, even Shen's father was arranged to kill chickens without exception.

Father Shen was silent, went to the bamboo forest with his hands behind his back, and when he arrived at the bamboo forest, he slowed down his pace, for fear of disturbing the chickens and ducks. The chickens and ducks in the bamboo forest were striding leisurely, not knowing that a little friend was about to leave them.

Father Shen carefully selected a chicken, and after the chicken relaxed his vigilance, he quickly grabbed it and carried the chicken back to the yard.

A neat knife rested on the chicken's neck, and then threw it into the scalding water prepared by Shen's mother to remove the chicken feathers. Shen Jinxin and Shen He looked fun, and they also squatted next to Shen's father to pluck chicken feathers together.

"Dad, the chicken feather was left for me, and my sister-in-law said that she would make me a shuttlecock." Shen Heren has little strength, and he can't pull out a few chicken feathers with one hand.

Father Shen showed a rare smile: "Okay, keep it for you, let your sister-in-law make a shuttlecock for you when she is empty." ”

"Shen Jinxin, you open it for me." The warmth in the courtyard was ruined by the angry and helpless voice of Liu Boan in the hall.

Mother Shen and Liu Bicao in the kitchen looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly, anyway, they were already used to the two of them like this, so they didn't care.

"Stinky boy, I'm older than you, I should call me brother, who asked you to call me by my name." Shen Jinxin's whole person was pressed on Liu Boan's back, and Liu Boan couldn't move an inch.

"You also know that you are older than me, and you still bully me, you give me down."

Shen Jinxin was about to be laughed at, because his things were robbed by him, and he said in turn that he was bullied, and he was polite and had nowhere to go. "You give me back the things, and I'll go down."

Liu Boan stubbornly protected the things he snatched from Shen Jinxin with both hands, but he didn't give it to him: "If you come down first, I'll give it back to you." ”

"You give it first."

"You come down first"

“……”

The two of them remained like this, and worked in the hall for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Seeing Shen Jinqian coming in, Shen Jinxin immediately jumped off Liu Boan's back, and Liu Boan took the opportunity to run in front of Shen Jinqian with something and entered the kitchen.

"Big brother, why don't you stop him?" Shen Jinxin watched Liu Boan enter the kitchen and questioned Shen Jinqian at the door.

Shen Jinqian's eyelids raised and glanced at him: "What is unsightly?" ”

As soon as he was asked by his eldest brother, Shen Jinxin's arrogance just now went down, he didn't dare to say anything, and ran away in a gloomy manner.

On the kitchen side, Liu Boan took the things he snatched from Shen Jinxin and showed them to Shen Mu and Liu Bicao as if he were offering treasures.

"Purse? Jinxin's? "The movement in the hall just now, I heard it clearly in the kitchen, but I don't know where this purse Shen Jinxin came from.

Liu Boan nodded: "Brother Jinxin secretly hid it at the head of the bed, and I saw it when I took it out today." ”

"This purse is carefully stitched." Liu Bicao leaned over and looked at it and said to Shen's mother.

"I just don't know which girl gave it to the bastard boy quietly." Shen's mother pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Liu Boan to return the purse to Shen Jinxin.

The family was doing things in an orderly manner, and when the last dish was served, the sky began to darken slightly.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, with surplus fish every year, rich and auspicious chicken, pig hands that Wishing you prosperity, lotus root slices all the way and so on.

"Wow, it smells so good." As soon as she said that she was going to eat, Shen He put down the shuttlecock that Liu Bicao had made for her, and after Shen Mei washed her hands, she ran to the table and waited.

When Shen's father and Shen's mother were on the table, the juniors sat down, but they didn't move their chopsticks, waiting for Shen's father and Shen's mother to talk.

"This year's New Year, there are more people in our family, I don't say more, you have also seen what your sister-in-law has done after entering the door, and I hope you will respect and respect it." Father Shen held up the wine that Shen He poured for him.

"Yes, Dad."

"Dad, don't worry, we will definitely respect and respect my sister-in-law."

Liu Bicao has not felt the warmth of home since the death of her biological mother, and when she heard Shen's father's words, she felt that her efforts in the past few days had not been in vain, and she hoped to share the hardships with this family.

"Thank you, Dad, and thank you, Mother." Liu Bicao blinked her slightly moist eyes.

Liu Boan saw that the Shen family was so good to his sister, and he was also happy for his sister.

"Your father's meaning is also my meaning, but my mother hopes that there will be one more person in our family during the Chinese New Year next year." Mother Shen was really happy to look at the children sitting around her.

Liu Bicao understood what Shen's mother meant, but her younger brothers and sisters were all there, and she felt embarrassed: "Mother." ”

"Mother, we will try." Shen Jinqian held Liu Bicao's hand tightly under the table, which made Liu Bicao's already red face even redder.

Father Shen and Mother Shen listened to Shen Jinqian's words, nodded happily, and saw that Liu Bicao was blushing, knowing that she was shy, so they didn't say anything more. Seeing that Father Shen moved the chopsticks, everyone couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that had been prepared for a day.

After talking and laughing, it was more than half an hour later, and Shen's mother took Liu Bicao and Shen Mei to clean up the dishes and chopsticks with their hands and feet.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family must observe the New Year, and the candles in Dahe Village are bright.

"Mother, sister-in-law, come on, big brother has set off fireworks." Shen He was so excited, if Shen Jinqian wasn't afraid of danger and didn't let her play, she would have to do it herself.

"Wow, that's pretty, haha." Shen He looked at the fireworks stick that was lit in Shen Jinqian's hand and emitted colorful light, and jumped up with joy.

Shen Jinxin and Liu Boan couldn't help it, so they took some from Shen Jinqian and played with it for themselves.

For a while, in the courtyard of the Shen family, there was a lot of laughter, non-stop.

"Come in, my father and mother are giving everyone New Year's money." Shen Jinyan has become more and more calm since he studied with Shen Jinqian.

When they heard the New Year's money, they threw down the fireworks sticks they liked just now and went back to the hall.

Because Shen He was the youngest, everyone let her take the New Year's money first, Shen He knelt down in the past, and first kowtowed to Shen's father and Shen's mother before saying, "I wish my father and mother good health." ”

Shen's father and Shen's mother smiled and gave the New Year's money, followed by Shen Jinyan, Shen Mei, and Shen Jinxin.

"Boan, what are you doing? Come here, don't want the New Year's money? Mother Shen saw Liu Boan standing aside, and had no intention of stepping forward.

Liu Boan was stunned, but he didn't expect that he still had his own New Year's money, so he was pushed by Shen Jinxin, and knelt down in front of Shen's father and Shen's mother: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt." He kowtowed firmly.

"Happy New Year, big brother, Wishing you prosperity." Shen Mei suddenly stretched out her hand in front of Shen Jinqian and asked him for New Year's money.

In previous years, his father and mother gave him New Year's money, although Shen Jinqian was the eldest brother, he had never prepared, and this year he was naturally unprepared, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu Bicao watched his younger siblings ask for him from the sidelines, but they didn't help him.

Seeing Shen Jinqian looking over, he immediately cleared his throat: "Look what I'm doing?" And what about my New Year's money? As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to him.

Shen Jinqian, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but panic a little when he saw his daughter-in-law also coming to join in the fun: "Daughter-in-law, I ...... it."

"Alright, take it seriously." Liu Bicao sneered, "Your eldest brother didn't prepare, but my sister-in-law prepared it for you." "Say and find out the New Year's money prepared in the morning, one per person.

"So in the future, if you want to press the New Year's money, you can't find the eldest brother, you have to find the eldest sister-in-law." Shen Jinxin took the New Year's money and put it on his chest, and was laughed at by Liu Boan as a money fan.

The later the time, the more excited they became, Shen's father and Shen's mother were a little old, and after some explanation, they went to sleep by themselves, leaving only the children in the hall.

Shen He and Shen Jinyan were young, and they couldn't stand it anymore when they got to the back, they sat there yawning but refused to sleep, little by little, Liu Bicao looked at it and smiled, reached out and hugged Shen He tightly in his arms, and asked Shen Jinqian to hold Shen Jinyan, who was trying to open his eyes wide.

As soon as the time came, the firecrackers of Lizheng's house sounded, and the firecrackers of other people's houses also sounded one after another, and in an instant, the sound of firecrackers in Dahe Village resounded in the sky to welcome the new year.

Waiting for Shen Jinqian to finish setting off the firecrackers, Liu Bicao drove the crazy people back to the room to sleep, and the two returned to their rooms.

"Daughter-in-law." As soon as Liu Bicao took off her coat, Shen Jinqian hugged her from behind. "What are you doing?" Afraid of waking up her younger siblings who had just fallen asleep, Liu Bicao asked in a low voice.

"What do you say? Forgot what your mother said during the meal? Well? Shen Jinqian rubbed her neck with her chin as she spoke, Liu Bicao was afraid of itching, smiling and struggling to hide. The two of them made a fuss and hid one another, and after a while, the laughter in the room turned into intermittent begging for mercy.
