Chapter 14 Chinese New Year
In a blink of an eye, the New Year is over.
Mo Xin wore a thick cloak and white velvet gloves, standing outside the door and looking at the snow outside, the New Year was still a very festive feeling.
Listen to the non-stop sound of firecrackers and fireworks. I have to say that it really has a very strong New Year's flavor.
It's just that this heavy snow doesn't seem to stop, it keeps falling there, layer after layer, and it rains one after another.
That guy is never afraid of the cold, and always likes to mess around in the snow. Like a cheerful child, he uses this snow field as his playground and sways his energy to the fullest.
It's just that the passing palace maids and guards are scared away from it, for fear of stepping on it.
After getting along for a long time, she forgot that Xiao Hei's claws were poisonous and could hurt people's lives.
But this guy was like an ordinary kitten around her, he liked to eat fish, and he was running around, and he didn't show any wildness. She kept it like a normal kitten.
Time flies so fast, and before she knew it, it had been half a year since she came to this other world. In the past six months, life has been very meaningful.
Being busy is the best thing. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as fulfilling.
A new year, a new beginning, and everything is moving in a better direction.
This year, Mo Xin felt that she would be more fulfilling.
Time is a strange thing, and when it's slow, it's always too slow.
When I hate it being fast, it runs faster.
Day after day, I can't keep it like this.
In this kind of silence, from yesterday, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, slipping away from us day by day.
Mo Xin felt that if he had to grow old, then he should take advantage of his current youth to make his future self regret less.
No matter when and where, after all, we must be kind to ourselves and strive to realize our own value. It's not in vain to take a trip in this world.
Winter is cold, but winter has come, so will spring be far away?
She stood here looking at the cold winter, looking forward to the arrival of spring. When spring comes, she will go to Huiyun City to have a look, find a good storefront, and open a branch of a food building.
"Princess, it's so cold outside, you better come inside and bake the fire." I saw Dongmei slowly walking over with a food box.
"It's okay, you see that I wrapped it like a dumpling, stand outside here for a while and then go in, you won't catch a cold." Mo Xin moved, this wrap is inconvenient, isn't it just like a zongzi?
Dongmei put the food box away and walked out, "Princess, the snow lotus soup that was just made in the imperial dining room, you better go in and drink it while it's hot." ”
"Okay." Mo Xin walked in, it was much warmer inside, and she took off her cloak and gloves.
Dongmei brought out the soup, and it smelled very fragrant.
Mo Xin took a sip, and it tasted good.
Dongmei said a little unhappily: "The people in this palace are all snobs, where is this second princess Tang divided, how can we only have a small bowl here." ”
Mo Xin smiled: "It's good that you know, just this small bowl, I still wanted to come back like a man-eating tiger." Otherwise, I don't know what it will be like to be harsh by them. ”
"Fortunately, the food restaurant opened by the princess has increased dramatically, and it will be much more convenient to eat delicious food in the future. I just heard some people in the palace talking about the new thanksgiving package launched by the food building. Dongmei's face was very proud, this was the shop opened by her princess.
This is a method that the princess came up with a few days ago. As long as you invite your parents, wife, boss or employee to dinner, you will get a 20% discount.
"It's the New Year, and it's supposed to be a time for reunion. Before the Chinese New Year, many people have a holiday, and their hands are rich, and it is normal to invite people to eat and drink. It's just that many times, parents and wives at home are neglected. As soon as this method came out, it was also for them to spend more time with their families and be grateful for their contributions. ”
It is good for the guests and good for the business, and a win-win situation is achieved.
Mo Xin was a little touched, she didn't have such an ordinary companionship. This is the sorrow of an orphan.
Every time during the Chinese New Year and holidays, when others happily go home to visit relatives, she is either at home alone or walking outside.
I always feel lonely, a person's loneliness, which is colder than the cold winter and the moon.
Start comforting yourself, and over time you will get used to it. But after a long time, instead of getting used to it, I feel more and more lonely.
And this loneliness can't be expressed well.
Because everyone around me has relatives, I can't express my sadness during this festival. Because of some injuries, I still have to face them slowly, bear them, and let time blur them.
In this way, you can forget, forget the injuries you have suffered, forget that you have always been alone, and forget that the feeling of loneliness is not as terrible as a flood of beasts.
This festive day, the day of reunion, can become less dazzling, not so heart-piercing.
In ancient times, she seemed to be a lot more open-minded. Maybe it's because everything is new, giving her a new life, and she cherishes it extraordinarily.
Sometimes when you figure it out and stop clinging to what you have lost, you only see what you have, and life will really become a lot easier.
I don't remember where I read a sentence, thinking too much becomes a fetter, being lost for too long becomes a pain, caring too much will reduce the joy of life, and looking down on everything will increase the relief of life.
If you can do it, then you should live a happy life.
"Princess, in fact, you and the second princess have their own strengths, and there will always be emperors and queens who will remember your good ......" Dongmei saw Mo Xin's expression a little sad, thinking that she thought that the second princess could follow her parents, and she could only spend the New Year alone like this, and she was a little sad.
Mo Xin smiled a little helplessly: "As long as you work hard, one day they will find out that my waste material is actually still somewhat useful." As for celebrating the New Year with them or not, it doesn't matter. As long as you feel comfortable and live a good life. “
This ancient emperor and queen showed that it was her parents, but she never cared about her, a waste daughter. And she is a traverser, and she has no intersection with them in the first place.
Since there has never been affection, it will not matter so much in the future whether there is or not.
Maybe one day, they will look at her more because of her efforts, and maybe they will be willing to have a meal with her.
But this kind of love is not what she wants.
Everything she endured today because of her waste materials will change because of her excellence, and people's hearts are not easy to change.
The person who looks down on you now, even if he looks down on you because of your excellence in the future, but when you fall down one day, I'm afraid he will be the first to fall into the ground. It's not uncommon for her to look like this.
is different from the excitement in the palace, but outside the palace is a different scene.
The New Year at the common people's house is a family gathering together to eat a reunion meal with big fish and meat.
The Chinese New Year is the most important day for the people. There are always a lot of New Year's goods at home, and a rich year means that you can have a good harvest and prosperity in the coming year.
Therefore, before the Chinese New Year, pigs, chickens and fish will be killed, and the meat will be pickled to be more fragrant, stored for a longer time, and it is convenient to entertain guests.
The most important thing about the New Year's dinner is that it should be plentiful and hearty. Chicken, duck and fish, as long as it is taken out, it is moved to the table. In order to have a good fortune every year, there are a lot of dishes, and basically every dish has leftovers. That is, more than every year.
Everyone sat together and talked about this year's harvest, how much money they earned outside, how much they harvested in the fields, and how well the children did in the school.
Just like that, while eating and chatting, those who like to drink drink drink a few pots of wine, this lively atmosphere is the taste of the New Year.
In the impoverished village, it's a different story. The villagers had an early New Year's meal at home and came to the church to pray and recite.
Inside the church, Qiu Yun was leading the villagers of the poor village to recite.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him...... Everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest he be reproved for his deeds. But he that doeth the truth shall come to the light, that he may show that he is walking in God. (John 3:1-21)
No one has ever seen God, but the only begotten Son in the Father's bosom has revealed Him. (John 1:18)
……“
Some villagers who didn't know how to read recited along, and some of the sentences they didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentences. After the recitation, they will take the initiative to ask Qiuyun.
Qiuyun is a studious person, she feels that learning is endless, so she can only keep learning more knowledge in order to help more people in need.
She loves to see the smiles on their faces, the smiles of hope for life, the smiles of courage in the face of difficulties. This is the most beautiful smile.
Qiuyun will explain to them in detail what he knows, and if he doesn't know much, he will record it. Think about it a lot, and when Mo Xin comes, ask her again.
Some of the Bible's contents seem easy to understand, while others are profound. Mo Xin didn't understand much about some esoteric words.
But she felt that the church was a place of faith, a place of hope. As long as there is hope in your heart, life will get better and better.
As long as you are willing to spend time, the flowers in your heart will always bloom in reality.
With Moxin's help, the villagers in the poor village have received a lot more people this year than before, and everyone is very happy. There is also hope for next year.
He used to think that the poor village would not change in his lifetime, but now that he sees that everyone's income has increased, he thinks that after a while, this poor village may not be poor.
Although he is an old man with inconvenient legs and feet, and he has lived like this in this life, he still hopes that his only grandson, Chen Xiaodong, can live a better life in the future.
