The quiet and safe return finally let go of the family's worries all day. Jiaming also came back with Fang Chen, and only arrived home two days earlier than Quiet. After resting for the night, the family got into a carriage early the next morning and went straight to Qingshan Village.

This year, they decided to go back to Qingshan Village for the New Year, the two quiet sisters took Leng Qiu Lengyue and Xia He in a car, the girl and the woman sat in a car, Jiaming and Fang Chen rode horses with Tong Feng and others, and a car was loaded with clothes and some food, and the three carriages arrived in Qingshan Village just after noon.

Seeing them come back, Fang's mother and Fang's father were very happy, not only prepared a large table of sumptuous meals, but also roasted a sheep, and after eating, the sisters and brothers went to rest. At night, the two sisters lay on the fire, whispered their own words, and slowly fell asleep.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, early in the morning.

Jiaming took Fang Chen and his subordinates to hang red lanterns inside and outside the courtyard, and the big red lanterns looked very beautiful. After hanging the lantern and taking the couplet written by the two of them, the word Fu was pasted everywhere, and there were two Jiayue paintings of the door god pasted on the door, all the windows were pasted with window flowers and hanging money, red window flowers, colorful hanging, jubilant, and it seemed full of New Year's flavor.

After the family was completed, Jing Jing took his younger siblings to the grave of his father and mother with sacrifices. The snow was thick on the way to the graveyard, and the thick snow was blown by the cold wind, and it creaked when stepped on. The three siblings walked up the hill step by step, and occasionally stepped on a leak, and they would pour a boot of snow. After making great efforts to come to the grave of their parents, the sisters and brothers cleared the snow in front of the grave, put on the tributes they brought, knelt in front of the grave and began to burn paper money.

The cigarette smoke was ethereal, the paper ashes were flying, Jiaming knelt in front of the grave, chattering about the changes in the past year and the major events in the family. After burning the paper money, they kowtowed one by one, and the three sisters and brothers walked back.

The road down the mountain is still difficult, the three of them didn't speak, the days are getting better and better, but their parents are no longer there, and the son wants to raise but the relatives don't wait, how can the mood be good?

The dull and sad mood was resolved by the festive red lanterns and the New Year's window flowers when I returned home. The girl in the kitchen has already begun to be busy with the New Year's dinner, chicken, duck and fish are all available, frying and frying each show their powers, and soon the aroma of the kitchen will fill the whole yard.

The sumptuous meal was put on the table, and the count was quiet, no more, no less, ten cold and ten hot, a total of twenty dishes.

Looking at the table full of dishes, everyone has a smile on their faces. A large family, including the old and the young, and the master and servants, made four tables full. Because it was the New Year, and the youngest of these people were all over ten years old, they all poured rice wine today, ate vegetables, drank wine, told stories, told jokes, and whoever had their turn came, and those who couldn't drink were punished. Everyone talked and laughed, and even talked and sang a meal until it was getting dark, and the sun returned home before it was finished. Although the degree of rice wine was not high, the children still drank red cheeks, so they left the sister-in-law to clean up the mess, and the rest of the people went back to the house to lie down.

She didn't take a few sips of silence, and she also wanted to help clean up, but Fang's mother and sister-in-law Tong didn't say anything, so she had to go back to the house to rest.

In the evening, as usual, the family gathered around to make dumplings, radish and beef filling, mutton and green onion filling, sauerkraut and pork filling, and leek egg filling. The white and chubby dumplings are placed on the curtain of Xinna, which is pleasing to look at and makes people have an appetite. Quietly breaded copper coins, sugar cubes, and peanuts into the dumplings, in order to please a good fortune, indicating that there is money to earn in the new year, and the days are sweet and rising.

As soon as the dumplings were wrapped, there was a succession of firecrackers outside. Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Quiet took Jiayue and began to cook dumplings, but Jiaming led Fang Chen out to set off firecrackers. This year's firecrackers were bought a lot, and a few small girls with girls set off firecrackers outside the gate, and the sound of firecrackers and laughter came into the house, and the quiet who was cooking dumplings in the stove room smiled knowingly. Isn't that the life she wants? Plain but warm.

The eldest child sat in front of the stove and said with a loving face, "This New Year, it is necessary to have children running and jumping, laughing and laughing, so that we can really feel the taste of the New Year, such days can be lively, such days can be rushed." ”

"Isn't that what the old sister said? This life, in the end, is not just a child. Fang's mother took over with a smile.

After letting go of the firecrackers, the children all ran into the house giggling, and it happened that the dumplings were also out of the pot at this time.

"Well, this year's dumplings are really delicious, ah, I ate peanuts!" Jiaming ate dumplings and said happily.

"I've eaten it too, it's a copper coin!" Jiayue said and spit out the copper coin in her mouth, and it was not difficult to see from her tone and expression that Jiayue's children were very happy to eat the copper coin.

"It's all eaten, it's so good! This shows that in the new year, our Jiaming will rise a lot in his studies, and Jiayue will earn a lot of money, which are all great things. Quietly looked at his younger siblings and said with a smile. As he spoke, he put a dumpling in his mouth, but he didn't want to take a bite of sweetness. "Look, your eldest sister has eaten candy too."

"The eldest sister said that I would improve my knowledge when I ate peanuts, and said that Jiayue would earn a lot of silver coins when I ate copper coins, so what does the eldest sister mean when she eats sugar?" Jiaming asked, tilting his head innocently.

"Brother, you're stupid. It's a good thing to eat sugar! This shows that our eldest sister will have happy events in the new year! Jiayue took over the conversation with a smile and said.

Listening to Jiayue's words, Jiaming made an expression that was the same. Maybe because they are twins and have a telepathic relationship, the brother and sister looked at each other and said in unison

"I wish my eldest sister all her wishes come true in the new year, and there will be many happy events."

"The bigger you are, the more naughty you are, I really don't know who you two leather monkeys learned from, and you are such a flamboyant tongue."

looked at his younger siblings who were playing in front of him, and smiled quietly from ear to ear. Today's younger siblings are no longer the ignorant country children who were timid and thin and can't see the world. Now they are healthy and lively, and the self-confidence around them makes them look bright.

Quiet said silently in his heart, "Quiet, have you seen it?" I said I would make my life better and raise my younger siblings, and I did! ”
