Chapter 20: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
Old Man Ran stood in Ran Yaozu's room and said something to him, Ran Wenyue could only see Old Man Ran smoking a cigarette pouch one after another, swallowing clouds and spitting fog. Ran Yaozu's face also kept changing, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't know what he said.
Just when Ran Wenyue was puzzled, Chu Xiumei came out, holding the water for washing in her hand, looked at her and said, "What do you see, go back to the room!" Children don't care about adults. We don't get involved in their business. ”
"Hmm!" Ran Wenyue answered, followed Chu Xiumei to the house, and the two younger brothers sat at the head of the bed and dozed off.
After washing up, Chu Xiumei went out with the water and poured it, and then said to Ran Shen and the others and entered the house.
This year has not been good, and it is a very uncomfortable year for the Ran family. Old man Ran came back with an ugly face, and Ran Shen didn't know what he heard when he went out today, and his face was very bad when he came back, and he scolded the second room. Old Man Ran didn't know what to say to Ran Yaozu, in short, his face was also very ugly, changing back and forth, and his eyes were complicated.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner did not eat well, hastily, and then set off firecrackers, and when the Ran family calmed down, it was already early in the morning, the family was tired enough, originally today Chinese New Year's Eve should be the New Year, but the family did not eat enough, in order to celebrate the New Year, the family was also busy from the morning, the Ran family did not keep the year, all washed, went to bed, busy, the day felt like nothing passed like this.
New Year's Day.
During the Chinese New Year, the family was woken up by Ran Shen's scolding, and they felt very uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to talk back, so they had to endure it.
I don't know if Ran Shen's family has eaten artillery battles, and it is not happy to get up in the morning to find someone.
But since I woke up, I didn't lie in bed, so I got up directly. As the saying goes: "On the first day of the new year, you must be diligent and early, and you can't ask for it, otherwise you will have to rely on it for a year." ”
"Drink porridge on the first day of the new year, and you will be poor all year long!"
Chu Xiumei and Ran Wenyue directly started the pot and cooked a pot of dumplings and glutinous rice balls, and everyone served whatever they liked.
The family hurriedly finished eating and left, and when they returned to their house, Ran Wenyue complained to Chu Xiumei, "Mother, this is the New Year, grandma is scolding like this, I heard that if you are scolded on the first day of the new year, then there will be bad luck this year." ”
"Who did you listen to, how come I haven't heard of it." In fact, Chu Xiumei also knew that there was such a saying, but the scolding words had already been scolded, so she could only treat it as if she didn't know and make herself feel comfortable.
Seeing that Chu Xiumei didn't want to say more, Ran Wenyue didn't bother, and after they packed up, they went out directly.
……
Chu family.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers sounded in front of Chu's house, and the red confetti that exploded was spread all over the gate, and the village also followed one after another with the sound of firecrackers, and the sound was endless.
The early morning firecrackers symbolize the prosperity of the new year, and also tell the earth that the family is very prosperous, please bless the gods.
Knowing that Chu Xiumei was going to come back with the children today, the Chu family directly boiled dumplings and eggs after setting off the firecrackers and ate them, and simply cleaned up the house and yard, because as the saying goes, "If you don't sweep the floor on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you must hide the dustpan broom, otherwise your fortune will be swept out." "So the firecrackers and confetti in the yard are not cleaned up.
When Chu Xiumei and the others came back, they saw that the grandmother of the Chu family and the grandfather of the Chu family were already waiting at the door, followed by several children, both men and women, all of whom were Ran Wenyue's cousins and cousins, and Ran Wenyue was the youngest child.
The Chu family is prosperous, the grandmother of the Chu family has a total of six children, just a sixty-six Shun, Chu Xiumei is the youngest and only daughter in the family, and she has been more favored since she was a child.
Because the Chu family didn't have much money before, and they had many children, they needed to support the family, and when the uncles of the Chu family grew up and became rich, their ages were also raised, and they got married relatively late, and they all became relatives in their twenties and thirties, so their babies were five or six years older than Ran Wenyue.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, the grandmother of the Chu family pulled Ran Wenyue to look at it, looking at the scar on her forehead, tears filled with tears, "Tell me why your child is so miserable, how can a good girl have a scar!" With such a long one, how can you marry someone in the future! ”
Ran Wenyue comforted the grandmother of the Chu family indifferently, "Grandma, I'm fine, you see, this scar is not very obvious, maybe when I grow up, it will be gone!" And this scar is not ugly, it is a medal, one scar in exchange for three lives, no matter how you think about it, I earned it! ”
After speaking, Ran Wenyue smiled directly.
"That's right! My sister is not ugly, my sister is the best-looking sister in the world! ”
"Hmmm! My sister is the best-looking I've ever met! ”
Ran Wenxing and Ran Wenbo were already able to understand some things, and when they heard their conversation, they directly expressed their opinions.
……
Chu Xiumei was dragged away by the grandmother of the Chu family, and her uncle and aunt also followed her into the house, and the Ran Wenyue sisters and brothers in the courtyard were surrounded by more than ten brothers and sisters.
