Chapter 188: Chinese New Year

The matter of changing steamed buns for auspiciousness in the morning is finally over.

After lunch, it is time to go to the mountains to worship the ancestors and offer incense.

In order not to meet with Lao Xia's family, Xia Duofu waited for the people of Lao Xia's family to come back from worshipping their ancestors, and then led the four-room family to the mountains to worship their ancestors.

Burning incense, kowtowing, seeking auspiciousness, setting off firecrackers, all the processes are completed, and the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month is considered to be over.

……

……

The next day is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the most lively and important day of the year.

On this day, the family is reunited, everyone sticks Spring Festival couplets, prepares New Year's dinner, sets off firecrackers, and all kinds of customs.

Early in the morning, Xia Qiqi was woken up by Yu Guixiang.

Xia Qiqi's task is to help paste the Spring Festival couplets and be with Lu Jiu.

As for the New Year's dinner, it was temporarily handed over to Yu Guixiang and her two younger sisters.

Xia Duofu looked around to see what else was going on at home, which was missed.

Lu Jiu was born tall, and the beams of the fourth room were not high, and with him, even the long ladder was saved.

Xia Qiqi used a small rag to stir the rice paste, asked Lu Jiu to make the rice paste on the wall, and then carefully pasted the Spring Festival couplets.

Xia Qiqi looked at it carefully, but whenever there was a little bit of crookedness, she would correct it.

Lu Jiu looked at her serious appearance, snickered a few times from time to time, and shouted Xia Qiqi's name tirelessly.

"Seventy-Seven ......"

"Seventy-Seven ......"

Like a fool!

Lu Jiu didn't have a face towel on his face today, so his handsome face was exposed to the sun.

The sunlight hit his face, as if it was plated with a layer of golden light, and after a few more glances, he felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his face was red.

Xia Qiqi touched his already red little face, and reminded himself in his heart to be sober and not to be delayed by beauty.

But in fact, as soon as he saw Lu Jiu's stunning face and his ink-black phoenix eyes, Xia Qiqi's heart would beat faster.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to find a fast cloth to cover Lu Jiu's face.

But I feel that I am making a big fuss like this.

After thinking about it, the best way is not to look at Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu shouted Xia Qiqi's name, and Xia Qiqi looked to the side, refusing to face his gaze.

Lu Jiu didn't notice it at first, but when he found out, a bright smile immediately bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

He put down everything in his hand, walked up to Xia Qiqi, and called Xia Qiqi's name again.

"Seventy-seven...... See! ”

He meant to let Xia Qiqi look at him.

Xia Qiqi rolled his eyes at him, "What are you looking at?" You think you're good-looking? ”

Lu Jiu nodded heavily.

Of course he is good-looking, otherwise why would Qiqi keep staring at him and smirking?

Xia Qiqi: "......"

"I don't want to talk to cheeky people, hurry up and get to work!" Xia Qiqi urged Lu Jiu to continue to post Spring Festival couplets.

Lu Jiu looked aggrieved, and looked at Xia Qiqi with pitiful eyes, "Qiqi......"

His voice was very good, warm as jade, and his voice was low, Xia Qiqi wanted to refuse, but he couldn't refuse.

I had to keep my face stiff and say with a serious face: "Don't take it as an example!" ”

……

……

On the other hand, the main house of the Lao Xia family also began to post Spring Festival couplets.

is different from the four rooms, the Spring Festival couplets of Lao Xia's family are all the work of the men.

Women, you can't touch the Spring Festival couplets.

Lao Xia led several sons to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Zhang's daughters-in-law are preparing New Year's dinner in the stove room.

I don't know who talked about the New Year's money.

Zhang said proudly: "I won't talk about it in previous years, the children don't have much money for the New Year!" But this year, the sixth child is back, why do you want to give hundreds of dollars, right? Otherwise, this uncle will do it in vain! ”

Ji's also looked agreeable, "We have more sons, and we will definitely get more New Year's money when the time comes!" ”

Zhao Mei'e didn't like to see Zhang's proud appearance, so she poured cold water directly.

"The sixth man has nothing to say, I just don't know, will he give our children more than four rooms!

Although the fourth room is three girls, after all, it has a good relationship with the sixth child. In case of...... I mean, in case, Qiqi asked him not to give it to our children, you say ......."

Zhao Mei'e has always only spoken half of her words.

After saying that, I looked like I didn't mean to.

After hearing this, Zhang's face turned green.

She exclaimed, "Impossible! We all have sons, and the four rooms are girls, and girls should be given New Year's money! ”

"That's what I said, but the second brother and sister, we can't control the thoughts of the sixth brother, isn't it!" Zhao Mei'e said.

"Whew! He dares! I'm going to go now!" Zhang said angrily.

After saying that, he didn't do any work in the stove room, and rushed out directly.

Zhao Mei'e and Ji glanced at each other, and both of them smiled.

No one spoke out to stop Zhang.

This is a matter of one's own benefit, and a fool will stop it.

Zhang ran to Xia Duogui's house in a huff, and when he arrived at the door of his room, he remembered that they were pasting couplets in the front yard.

If you want to find someone, you have to go to the front yard.

But everyone arrived at the door, and she was not happy to let Zhang go like this.

Squinting his eyes, Zhang looked around vigilantly.

There was no one around, and with a gentle push, Xia Duogui's door was pushed open.

Zhang quietly walked in, she remembered that the sixth child had a box.

It is said that there was a chest of silver in it.

If she takes one at random, the sixth child will definitely not know.

Zhang's heart was beating like thunder, and he was afraid that he would be discovered.

On the one hand, I feel that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

If she doesn't take too much, she will take a piece of broken silver, three or five taels.

The goal is clear, and Zhang's hard work is even more hard to find things.

Finally, after rummaging through the cabinets for a while, Zhang found the wooden box under Xia Duogui's bed.

With one hand, she tugged at the wooden box, which was heavy.

An excited smile appeared on Zhang's face.

"It's so heavy, it's rich...... Get rich......"

"The Silver ...... of the Sixth"

With some effort, she finally pulled the box out.

Zhang almost trembled and picked up the box, the box was too heavy, she hugged it, and had to put the box down.

Thinking of his purpose, Zhang quickly opened the box.

The moment the box was opened, Zhang really thought he had made a fortune.

But when she saw that the box was full of stones, Zhang was completely dumbfounded.

"It's over, it's over...... How did this silver turn to stone? ”

Zhang's heart was in a mess, she tried to push the box under the bed, and accidentally knocked the box down.

The stones rolled out and scattered all over the ground.

Suddenly, Zhang realized something.

"Liar...... Swindler...... Scammers ......"

She shouted three times in a row, suddenly opened her mouth, and howled loudly, "Dad, mother, you come quickly, something is wrong!" ”

"Daddy, something is wrong......"

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang's shout was undoubtedly a taboo.

Mrs. Xia, who was playing with Doudou in the hall, was almost bursting with fire on her face.

She followed the voice, looking for trouble with Zhang.

At the same time, Old Man Xia in the front yard also heard the voice......
