I had a good time on the first day of the new year, but I couldn't forget to herd the sheep, after all, those dozen mouths were still waiting to eat.

Liu and Xuan originally went back early to help them herd the sheep, but finally looked forward to this day, and the children would play more when they were happy, and they didn't want to disturb their interest.

As a result, seeing that the dew was almost dry, the children went home and took the sheep to herd themselves.

Xuan's was very pleased, and said with a smile, "Our children are sensible, sister-in-law, you see Zilong and Zijie, they were very naughty before, but now look at it, how well-behaved." ”

Liu nodded, "I also think it's quite well-behaved, and now this family is getting more and more harmonious, I look very good." ”

The two of them walked around the village, talked for a while, and saw that the hour was almost up, so they went back to prepare the meal.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the food is also sloppy, and the New Year's Day is to eat well.

After letting the sheep go back, the family was already cooking on a fire, and the children had nothing important to do, so they all went to the room to chat with Lin Dezheng.

The lunch meal was nothing too special, anyway, it was just what was good and put it on the table, and I also got a whole fish, which was more than enough every year.

Xuan's asked Si Yao to wash some wine glasses, everyone had what they wanted, and Si Qi also went to help, needless to say, he was definitely going to drink again at noon.

When the meal was served and everyone was seated, Xuanshi took out the Tusu wine and pepper and cypress wine that had been brewed in advance and poured them, Si Qi leaned over and smelled it, and immediately frowned, which was too bad to smell.

This Tusu wine is brewed with several flavors of Chinese medicine, pepper and cypress wine, as the name suggests, pepper and cypress leaves.

Think about it, can it taste good?

As with the previous customs, drinking these strange wines during the New Year festival is generally for the sake of strengthening the body, prolonging life, and seeking good fortune.

In fact, if you talk about it carefully, you can't say that it's completely useless, anyway, I don't drink much, just take a few sips.

There is only a little bit in the cup in front of the children, and it is enough to have such a meaning, and it is not really to get them drunk.

When everyone has wine in their glasses, this time they start drinking, which is different from the past, drinking this wine requires children to start drinking, and adults are behind.

Because children have not grown up yet, a year is equivalent to a year old, which is called a year, and adults are one year less after a year, which is called a loss of age, so children should start drinking first.

There were so many children in the family, so they didn't come in order of size, and everyone served a cup and drank together.

After drinking it in his mouth, he had the same expression, which was too unpalatable, and Menghuan stuck out his tongue, and his tears were about to come out.

Wanrong hurriedly brought her an orange to eat, otherwise she really couldn't stand it.

No one can afford not to drink this wine, even Zichen was held by Xuan's and dipped a little with chopsticks.

The children's reaction made the adults laugh, and the atmosphere was even better.

Lin Dezheng picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "After drinking Tusu wine, the children are safe and sound, and they are about to eat food, and the family does not have to be polite." ”

The children were not interested in wine, so they picked up chopsticks and started to eat before they became happy.

Although the New Year's preparations are all good things, they are limited to meat, which does not meet the standards of big fish and meat, and the children usually have a rare meal like this, and they are very happy at this time.

Zijie was eating chicken, and he was about to cry with joy, and said with a smile, "If only I could eat it every day." ”

Wu said, "Then you have to think about eating meat every day, go to the mountains to herd sheep, learn from your brothers and sisters, and when you have money in your hands, we will eat meat every day." ”

The children nodded one after another, and Mengzhu said with a smile, "Grandma, we will definitely work harder this year and save more money, and our family will be able to live a good life." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children have such momentum, and the adults are of course happy to see it.

In addition to being happy, I felt a little uncomfortable, or the life at home was not good, otherwise the children would not be looking forward to it like this.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is to eat, drink, and have fun, and this day passed quickly, and everyone was even happier in the second year of junior high school, because Wanyun's family will also come back, and the second day of junior high school is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home.

Xuan's maiden home is too far away, generally speaking, they will not go back, Liu's maiden home is not too far away, every year on the second day of the new year, the Wu family will prepare a festival ceremony, let Lin Changfu drive the ox cart to take their mother back to their parents' house, and stay at their parents' house for one night before coming back on the third day of the new year.

This time, Wanyun came back and Wu was finally not so worried, because she saw that her daughter's face was much better, and she seemed to have gained a little weight.

However, Wanyun was very worried, and when she came back, she realized that Lin Dezheng was actually injured, and she was also angry after knowing what was going on.

"Why is Uncle Gu like this? The New Year's Day turned out to be like this. ”

Wu smiled, "Okay, this matter has already passed, so I won't mention it, how has your mother-in-law treated you recently?" Last time, your third brother went to have an unpleasant quarrel with her, so I was afraid that you would have a bad time staying at your in-law's house. ”

Wanyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, just because the third brother was angry last time, and my mother-in-law was scared, and she has been better for me and the child recently." ”

Wu was speechless, "She's a person, you treat her well, she kicked her nose in the face, it's good to really get angry with her, if you knew this, you shouldn't have given her a good face before." ”

Wanyun said, "Anyway, it's good now, I'm quite content." ”

She looked at the white hair on Wu's sideburns, and was very distressed, "Mother, don't worry too much about me at home, I'm such an adult, I know the severity, if I really suffer a big grievance, I will definitely run back to my mother's house to let my mother's family call the shots, and I will never hold back." ”

Wu nodded, "Okay, don't talk about this for the New Year." ”

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, there are sayings every day, and unconsciously, this year has almost passed.

The eighth school of junior high school is open, Zijun Zikang is going to go to school, and he has already said that he will let Zilong go to school this year.

At dinner in the evening, Lin Dezheng said, "Second child, tomorrow you take a few children to the school together, Zilong's tuition fee will be given to you by your mother, our children have to study, and only after reading well can there be a good way out, if you have a bright brain, then you will study for a few more years, but if you really can't learn, you will come back to learn to farm." ”

He looked at Zilong again and said, "Zilong, you are a good boy, you have to study hard when you go to the school, you are not allowed to cause trouble in the school, you are not allowed to be naughty, you know?" ”

Zilong smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, I know." ”
