For the first time in ancient times, Lin Wan's experience was unprecedented.

What sighs the most is the strong flavor of the New Year and the joy of the children from the heart.

And, of course, the busyness of the women of each family.

After breakfast on Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen and Wu began to get busy.

Steamed glutinous rice to make rice cakes, minced meat to make meat balls, and killing chickens and fish, even Ye Damin was also accused of making the group turn.

A few small ones really wanted to go into the stove room to help, but in the end, even the eldest Ye Qing was kicked out by the Chen family, not to mention the other small ones.

There really can't be so many people in the stove room today!

On weekdays, the stove room, which looks quite spacious, is extra crowded because of the long table used to store various ingredients and pots and pans for the New Year.

"Grandma, don't you need to leave someone to light the fire?" was "ruthlessly" driven out of the stove room by the Chen family, Ye Zhan was a little unwilling, and the people who could stay in the stove room today must be the most blessed.

Chen glanced at the stove, and then at the study, slightly hesitating.

Leaving someone to help light the fire is naturally the best, but only Ye Qing and Ye Zhan can help light the fire, Lin Wan and Ye Shen are too young, they don't dare to let them help light the fire.

But Chen also hopes that Ye Qing and Ye Zhan can follow Ji Kang, today Ji Fuzi is the day to write Spring Festival couplets for the villagers, yesterday Ji Kang mentioned a mouthful, Ye Qing and Ye Zhan's pen power is not enough to write the Spring Festival couplets on the gate, but they can write some door and window stickers posted in the yard.

The Chen family naturally hoped that the two eldest grandsons could follow Ji Kang to do something elegant, instead of following them to light the fire.

Seeing Chen's hesitation, Ye Zhan was a little anxious.

He wanted to stay in the stove room, but he was not only to satisfy his appetite, but he really couldn't get his hand out and didn't want to make a mess, of course, there was also a reason because he saw that there was indeed a lack of people burning fire in the stove, and he was really distressed when he saw that his father and grandmother were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink saliva.

Ye Zhan rubbed to Chen's side and said shyly: "Grandma knows, I really don't dare to write door and window stickers for others, if I really write for others, I will be laughed at!" Grandma, just have mercy on me, and leave me to make a fire in the stove room! ”

Chen thought of Ye Zhan's handwriting, and immediately felt that what Ye Zhan said was reasonable, she wanted to show off in front of the villagers, but she couldn't let Ye Zhan be laughed at for the sake of showing off, then it would not be a show but a shame!

So Ye Zhan stayed in the stove room to help as he wished, but he was also under the spell of Chen.

Chen asked Ye Zhan to start from the fifth day of the first lunar month, practice two pieces of paper every day, and next year he must follow Ji Kang to write door and window stickers for the villagers like Ye Qing.

Ye Zhan's face turned blue, but he didn't dare to bargain with the Chen family in front of Ye Damin and the Wu family, so he had to nod his head aggrievedly.

Ye Shen was so unhappy when he saw that Ye Zhan was deflated, he made a grimace at Ye Zhan who was aggrieved, and was about to take Lin Wan's hand to Lin Wan's house to see the flowers and potted plants, but was taken to the study by Ye Qing.

Now it was Ye Shen's turn to be depressed.

Even if in fact his handwriting is much better than Ye Qing's, but now that he is so young, he can't even hold a pen well, what can he do when he goes to the study, can he be a scholar?

Ye Qing didn't care what Ye Shen thought in his heart, he just didn't want to leave Ye Shen to make trouble in the stove room.

"Lin Wan, do you want to go to the study together to watch the master write Spring Festival couplets?" To Lin Wan, Ye Qing asked in an inquiring tone.

Although there are only 278 households in Houwu Village, they all point to Jikang to write Spring Festival couplets and make trouble stickers, and Jikang has to be busy for most of the day.

Lin Wan hurriedly shook her head, she couldn't help when she went, so she didn't go to join in the fun.

Ye Qing saw that Lin Wan really had no intention of going to the study, so he took Ye Shen away and let Lin Wan take care of herself.

At this time, the glutinous rice on the stove that was ready to make rice cakes happened to be out of the pot, and Chen saw that Ye Qing had taken Ye Shen away, leaving Lin Wan alone, so he quickly took a small bowl and filled a small half bowl of glutinous rice that had just come out of the pot and added some sugar to Lin Wan: "Go back to the house quickly, it's cold outside." ”

Okay, Lin Wan felt that it was better to hurry back to the house.

Lin Wan knew that if she stayed here any longer, every time a food came out of the pot, Chen would definitely give her a taste first, and if she continued to stay here, she was afraid that she would eat before she had eaten Chinese New Year's Eve.

Lin Wan returned to her house, first took some flower fertilizer from the mall and applied some fertilizer to the sunflower that had already budded, if the weather was good tomorrow, she planned to take out the sunflower to bask in the sun at noon, hoping that it could bloom as she wished.

After finishing her own room, Lin Wan stretched out her head to look at the study in the east wing, where people came in and out from time to time.

Everyone came with blank red paper, and then returned with the Spring Festival couplets with their good wishes on the doors and windows, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Lin Wan watched silently for a moment, remembering that she hadn't gone to the backyard to see the bean sprouts today, so she simply put on a big coat and went to the backyard.

Daddy Ye is digging beans in the house.

Father Ye didn't show surprise when he saw Lin Wan coming to the backyard alone, but asked about the situation in the front yard, and Lin Wan asked one by one.

After digging out the beans, Father Ye looked at Lin Wan and asked with a smile: "Wanwan, do you want to go to Fucheng to see the lights during the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

With the experience of watching lanterns on Mid-Autumn nights, Lin Wan doesn't have so much curiosity about the ancient Lantern Festival, whether she goes or not.

Of course, if she really had to choose, she really didn't want to go.

One is that the attraction is insufficient, and the other is that she really feels tired for her family, she and Ye Shen are at this age, if you go to see the light, you have to be held by an adult to be safe. The third is because of the cold, the temperature outside today is at least minus ten degrees, and the Shangyuan Festival in half a month will definitely not be warmer than today, Lin Wan thinks that she is a person who is afraid of the cold.

But!

Now that Father Ye asked, she should have planned to take the whole family to Fucheng to see the lights again, how could she be disappointed?

Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, has been based on the warm and festive lantern viewing custom since ancient times.

On this day, almost every household goes out to admire the moon, burns the lantern and sets off the flames, likes to guess the lantern riddles, eats the Lantern Festival together, pulls the rabbit lantern, I heard that Qingzhou Mansion has dragon lanterns this year, playing lions, stepping on stilts, rowing boats, twisting Yangge, playing Taiping drums, etc., which are more lively than in previous years.

Thinking about it this way, it's not bad to go to Fucheng to join in the fun, of course, you have to go with the whole family.

It just so happened that she also followed to see the ancient Shangyuan Festival's "walking all kinds of diseases and touching the doornails".

But a few days ago, she vaguely heard Chen and Wu mention this, it seems that Chen does not plan to go, Chen does not go, Wu as a daughter-in-law will most likely stay with Chen, without Chen and Wu with her, she is only five or six years old Little girl naturally can't feel what "go to a hundred diseases and touch the door nails", so the significance of going to Fucheng to see the lights is not so great.

So Lin Wan tilted her head and looked at Father Ye and said, "Grandpa and Grandma are going?" ”

Father Ye was slightly stunned, and after a while, he seemed to understand what Lin Wan meant, and hurriedly nodded to indicate that the family would go.

A bright smile bloomed on Lin Wan's face, and Father Ye only sighed in his heart: This female doll is a pain, even if she goes out to play, she still remembers to bring her grandpa and grandma!
