Chapter 183: The First Day of the Lunar New Year

New Year's Day greetings.

I went to bed early last night, so much so that when I heard the rooster crowing outside in the morning, Zhao Yu opened his eyes.

Turning his head and looking at the surrounding environment, Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted his head.

It turns out that last night, after she fell asleep, she was carried into the main house where her milk lived?

Helplessly drooping his eyes, Zhao Yu lifted the duvet covered by his body, took the new clothes placed next to the pillow and put them on his body.

Right now, Zhao Yu is the only one left in the house, and Zhao Fuxiang and the Li family have long been missing.

There is no way, the Li family is old, and they are not very keen on sleeping, not to mention that today is still the first day of the Lunar New Year, and every family visits friends to worship the New Year.

Hurriedly cleaned himself up, Zhao Yu followed and touched under his pillow, and sure enough, he touched a hard thing.

When I took it out, it turned out to be six copper coins placed in a straight position.

This is an alternative New Year's money, that is, on the first day of the new year, the adults in the family will put a few copper plates under the child's pillow, which means that in the new year, the wealth is rolling and everything is going well.

Quickly put away the six copper plates, Zhao Yu got dressed, helped the kang to go to the ground, and walked out of the room with little short legs.

As soon as she went out, she saw Li sitting in the hall.

Zhao Yu smiled and bowed, and said a clever word of New Year's greetings.

Seeing this, Li replied with a smile, and by the way, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yu.

In Shangwa Village, male and female dolls worship the New Year in different ways.

The female baby bows, the male baby kowtows, and the elders in the family will take out some silver money as New Year's money to give to the child.

"No, drink this bowl of porridge quickly, pad your stomach first, and eat for a while," Li Shi hurriedly took off the porcelain bowl that was warm on the stove, lifted the lid on it, blew it, and handed it to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to take it, and directly smothered it into his stomach at the red, white, and white porridge cooked in the bowl.

After eating, Zhao Yu left the porcelain bowl in her hand for the Li family, while she herself jumped back to her house.

Today is the day when Zhengda Guangming can get the New Year's money, and Zhao Yu obviously doesn't want to miss it.

has already given her milk to celebrate the New Year, Zhao Yu followed to find her parents.

Not long after Zhao Yu left, Zhao Fuxiang walked in with a charcoal basin.

Today is a good day for the people of the village to come out to pay New Year's greetings.

There is only one hearth in their hall, and it is still too cold, no, Zhao Fuxiang found another one that could be used from home, thinking about lighting it to add some temperature to the hall.

Taking out some charcoal from the hearth and putting some new firewood, Zhao Fuxiang moved, lit the charcoal basin, and placed it at Li's feet.

Seeing this, Li quickly moved his body to the side, leaving a place where Zhao Fuxiang could sit.

The old couple began to chat about family affairs with or without a match.

Unconsciously, I talked about Zhao Shanyu.

"Well, I wonder when this kid will come back?" Li was a little depressed, almost more than three months, and there was no movement.

Zhao Fuxiang waved his hand, "It's icy and snowy, maybe it's delayed on the road,"

As if thinking of something, Zhao Fuxiang added, "If someone else asks about Xiao Wu, don't say it." ”

It's not a good thing to go to the south, and if someone hears the whistleblowing, that's their handle.

Li nodded, she didn't know anything, she would only say it if she was stupid.

The topic came to an end, and both of them tacitly agreed not to mention Zhao Shanyu again, but changed to other topics.

…………

When the sky outside was bright, the rest of the Zhao family also got up one after another.

Li cleaned up and hurriedly served the porridge and dumplings boiled in the kitchen for everyone to eat.

After the meal, the children of the family dressed up and followed the men of the family out to pay New Year's greetings.

To be precise, the four Zhao Shanlin brothers paid New Year's greetings alone, Zhao Fuxiang went to visit relatives alone, and Zhao Yu and a few small ones ran around the east and west, the purpose was to get the three and two free snacks.

In this era, the family is not rich, and how can there be so much money for the children who come to the New Year's greetings, and most of them are still some snacks and dried fruits that the family saves in the next autumn.

Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Mingwei are old, and they took them out in previous years, but this year they are older, and it is not easy to go out.

So the rest of the children in the family followed Zhao Yu's buttocks, and one of them ran out of the door with a small basket.

Li and others stayed at home to entertain people who came to visit the New Year for a while.

Li even prepared some dried fruit snacks saved at home early, and put them next to the charcoal basin at his feet, as long as there were children coming, he grabbed a handful and put them in.

……………

was so busy, Zhao Yu took Zhao Xia and them to almost run the entire clan elders, and their small basket was even fuller, so they happily went home.

The dried fruit snacks that Li put at his feet were also looted by other children.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu and the others came back in time, and they made up for it, and it was immediately filled again, and the rest came out better.

Li waved his hand, "Take it back to your room and keep it as a snack." ”

Anyway, it's not very valuable, and most people give some worthless snacks such as mountain dates, dried fruits, and soybeans, which are just fresh.

After hearing Li's words, several children were satisfied, sighed, and hurriedly put the things they worshiped back into the house, all of which they had earned with their own hard work.

…………

On the other side, Zhao Fuxiang was still outside and worshipping the New Year.

After fleeing, Zhao Fuxiang's family only had four of them left, and he was the second in line, so the first person Zhao Fuxiang went to was the eldest brother Zhao Fusheng's house.

When Zhao Fuxiang arrived, Zhao Fuman and Zhao Fujin were there, sitting cross-legged on the kang, with snacks to entertain them around.

Seeing Zhao Fuxiang coming, Zhao Fusheng's daughter-in-law Guo Shi followed and filled him with a bowl of tea, but was stopped when he delivered it.

"Sister-in-law," Zhao Fuxiang waved his hand, "It's all a family, don't be busy,"

"I came over to see the eldest brother, and I rushed to the house of a few uncles to pay New Year's greetings."

Although they only have four brothers, there are many brothers on their father's side, and they all live together now, so they can't go over and say goodbye.

Zhao Fusheng nodded hurriedly, followed by putting on his shoes and going to the ground, not forgetting to greet Zhao Fuman and Zhao Fujin on the side, "The second child is right, the third and the fourth, you guys hurry up, we have to hurry up,"

"It's too late, uncles, it's time to pick and choose."

Zhao Fuman and Zhao Fujin were stunned for a moment, and they also felt that what they said was reasonable.

He did not continue to sit on the kang, but quickly put on his shoes and went to the ground.

Coming out of Zhao Fusheng's house, the four brothers followed closely and ran to the nearest family elders.

Thanks to Zhao Fuxiang's reminder, when the four brothers arrived, good guys, there were many people sitting around the elders' house.

The four of them lowered their heads, hurried over to greet each other for the New Year, and said auspicious words, which made people unreasonable, and then left.

followed, the four of them went to several other families, until they walked through the elders of the family, and finally went to the patriarch Zhao Furui's house.

Zhao Furui also has a lot of family members.

Because they were all busy with their own affairs and finally came to visit the New Year, Zhao Furui's house was very lively.

After the four of them came in, they didn't deliberately attract attention, and after a few simple words, they returned to the corner.

Zhao Fuman couldn't stay idle, grabbed a handful of melon seeds by the way, and listened to the clansmen around him who were talking, while eating with relish.

I didn't stay long before the aroma of food came from outside.

It's time for lunch.

The people in the room began to make excuses, and the four of them also got up and followed the crowd, and after spreading out at the door, they each went home.
