"Ah...... No wonder he ate gunpowder, it turned out that he was angry with Uncle Lu. But Uncle Lu is busy with the company's affairs every day, and he has nothing to do with him, what contradiction can the two of them have? ”

"I also think it's very strange, I asked your dad and he wouldn't say. Forget it, their family may not come back for the time being anyway, in order to live a quiet few days, don't pretend to be in front of your father. Wait five or six days for your dad to go back to work again, and then figure out what's going on. ”

"Oh......"

Xia Xixi nodded lightly, "Okay, I'll pay more attention these days." ”

I only stayed home for two days, and it was 30 years old.

After the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the Spring Festival, and it is also the last day of the year.

All families are busy cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the family celebrates the New Year together.

In previous years, the Chinese New Year was almost the same. Father Xia has been working hard outside for 10 consecutive years, and he will only come back to rest during the Chinese New Year.

A few days before the New Year, I came back for the New Year and waited for the New Year, and I had to go out to work on the fourth and fifth days of the new year.

Because her father used to buy a little gift for Xia Xixi every time she came back, she looked forward to the New Year every year and waited for her father's gift.

Last year, I didn't give a gift, and I gave 100 yuan of New Year's money.

There were no gifts this year, and my father didn't seem to plan to give New Year's money. I'm just angry because I don't know something.

In order to celebrate the New Year, Xia's mother has already prepared a lot of ingredients. During the Chinese New Year, many shops, large and small, will close their doors for a few days, so many people will also prepare some food at home in advance.

It is also to prevent everyone from resting in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, and there is no place to buy vegetables and cook.

Tomorrow is the New Year, and after eating, Xia's mother and father pasted Spring Festival couplets together and hung red lanterns.

The neighbors had already hung up the spring and some people set off firecrackers, and there was a jubilant New Year's celebration everywhere.

It was almost evening.

Xia's mother dropped Xia Xixi aside and gave a pink bill.

Xia Xixi is no longer a 10-year-old child when he was a child, and he can be excited for half a day when he gets 100 yuan.

What's more, I have been enjoying life with Lu Ziming a few days ago, and I can't do anything with 100 yuan.

She had always wondered what her father was angry about.

"Mom, what the hell happened to Dad so angry. Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and he always looks sullen, and it seems that he has encountered something not simple outside. ”

"Don't ask me again, I don't know exactly what's going on, anyway, in four or five days, your father will be leaving, so let's follow him first."

"Okay......"

Xia Xixi followed her mother and began to pack her things.

Soon it was evening and dinner was over. Xia Xixi went back to his room and took out his mobile phone to watch the TV series.

It's the new year after 12 o'clock in the evening.

Many people will wait for 12 p.m. to count the countdown to the New Year.

Xia Xixi didn't sleep until 12 o'clock last year, and she was bored watching the Spring Festival Gala performance with her parents.

This year, the atmosphere in the house was completely different, and the parents had no intention of keeping vigil. Xia Xixi was also a little sleepy after watching an episode of the TV series and planned to rest.

Qiu Yan texted over to explain that he was busy with his family today, so he didn't have much time to chat.

He doesn't have anything to do now, and he wants to wait for the New Year with Xia Xixi.

Xia Xixi really didn't have any energy to rest. He had no choice but to sigh and wish a happy new year in advance!

Xia Xixi put the phone aside and fell asleep.

This year is destined to be a day of poor sleep.

Just past 12 o'clock, the new year is coming. There were quite a few people setting off artillery outside, and the sound was louder for a while.

The neighbor's house set off artillery, and it seemed that even his own house was shaking.

"Ah...... Who is it? Make such a loud noise! ”

Xia Xixi was awakened by the movement outside, and reached out and rubbed her eyebrows dissatisfied.

After a while, I was a little dazed and sleepy, and there were all kinds of sounds outside again.

Xia Xixi had no choice but to get up from the bed and click on the TV series to pass the boring time.

It's finally dawn.

Mother Xia waited for the sky to light slightly, and she had already gotten up and started to prepare the first meal of the new year.

According to their customs, the first meal of the new year eats water chestnuts, and water chestnuts have a good meaning in their roundness, which they call ingots.

Water chestnuts are put into a large pot of rice, and the family gathers around to serve the rice, which is called digging ingots.

After the meal is served and sitting on the table, a teacup will be placed in front of one person, and there will also be a water chestnut in the tea, which is called bubble ingots.

If you eat ingots, you will have good luck, and after the beginning of the year, you will have the opportunity to make a lot of money and live happily for a year.

There's one more highlight before eating.

Almost every household will hang the ranking of their ancestors and wait until the important day of the New Year and the festival to pay respects.

Father Xia lit an incense stick and saluted like the tablet of his ancestors. Then put the incense in the small stove and you're done.

Mother Xia and Xia Xixi also followed one of them to insert a stick of incense, and did not do anything else.

If they had grandparents around before, they would have had to do more and have complicated etiquette.

With the different times, some of the old customs in the past have gradually been banned, life has become simpler, and the New Year has lost a lot of flavor.

Xia Xixi still finished inserting the incense as usual, and silently prayed for herself in front of the incense burner.

I hope to get better grades after the start of the semester and be admitted to a good university in the future.

I also hope that the relationship with Qiu Yan can go smoothly, the previous thing was a misunderstanding, and the relationship between the two people will not be easily broken up.

Finally, I hope that I and my family will be healthy and healthy, and there will be no serious diseases.

With all this done, the family can finally sit down and have a good meal.

The first meal of the new year, because there will be no other guests at home, is relatively easy to make. A dish of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, a braised fish, and a large bowl of egg and tomato soup.

Because the portions of each dish are very large, it is completely enough for three people to eat.

After eating, Xia Xixi's mother continued to clean up the dishes and prepare for lunch.

The New Year's lunch will be more elaborate and prepared in advance.

Xia Xixi felt that it was not interesting, and returned to her room, closed the door, and planned to continue watching TV to pass the time.

Lu Ziming sent a message saying that he had come by car and would be able to arrive soon.

His parents had a casual breakfast with him and went to work, he was so bored alone. He had no choice but to come over to Xia Xixi and their family to celebrate the Spring Festival together.

Presumably, their family of three must be very interesting together.
