"Of course." Yang was excited, glanced at Chen Shuangchuan strangely and said, "What are you doing with this dead girl, why are you so ugly?" Okay, okay, hurry up and cook, your dad is coming back soon. ”

Chen Shuangchuan really didn't give up and asked a few words, and made sure that the Yang family really replaced the two little silver buns with this bag of seeds, and the angry Chen Shuangchuan scolded fiercely: "Mother, how can you be like this, this is my money with the third sister!" ”

"Dead girl's scalp is itchy, isn't it!" Yang didn't take Chen Shuangchuan's words to heart at all, waved his hand, and drove Chen Shuangchuan into the kitchen like a fly, and she was still happily touching the seeds, looking through them carefully one by one.

I went to the kitchen and looked through it, it was almost the end of the year, except for some sun-dried vegetables and small fish pickled in sauce, there was almost nothing at home, and even the rice tank was shallow and not full.

Although Yang asked Chen Shuangchuan to cook, Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to do more after watching it for a while, grabbed a handful of rice, grabbed two handfuls of bran, peeled a sweet potato, and cooked a pot of porridge. The dish is okay, cut two fish, steam a plate of dried vegetables, put two pieces of bean curd, and it looks quite hearty.

Worried that the Yang family would be deceived, Chen Shuangchuan has been sullen, holding his bowl when he eats, and refuses to look up.

Yang was still very happy, and simply took out the cotton seeds for everyone to see, and then said: "When spring begins, it will be easy to plant." ”

"Plant, our family has no land?"

"Saline-alkali land can also grow, just rent a piece of land in the sea pond, and there are no human species, so it's cheap."

"What about the Chinese New Year, I don't have much money at home?" Chen Shiyou asked without thinking, only to suddenly remember that this was still at the dinner table, and the children were still there, saying that this kind of thing was always not good, and it was too late to close it, so he could only try to lower his voice and say. Of course, the three little ones heard it, but they could only pretend not to hear it, holding the bowl and burying their heads in the bitter food.

Yang didn't think about it so much, and when Chen Shiyou said this, she thought that the New Year was approaching, and it was the most expensive time of the year, and many things could not be saved. Thinking that it took such a large amount of money to buy cotton seeds, Yang felt regretful and muttered: "Why don't I go to my sister's place to have a look, the cotton seeds are also the ...... she encouraged me to buy."

This is already December, the sun in winter is not enough to dry, and the amount of salt to be paid is much less, and it is the New Year, Chen Shiyou handed over the salt early in the morning, received the money, and finally can spend a year with peace of mind.

The Chinese New Year is actually only a few days of the first month, and it will be busy from December.

Chen Caichun is a short-term worker in He's house, and he has to be busy until twenty-five to rest, but the school has an early holiday, and even Chen Shunan came to help, and followed Chen Shiyou to take Chen Shuang down to the tidal flats and dig well for a few days, the harvest is full, and some of them are sold in the market for money, and there are still a lot left, and the dishes during the New Year are not worried.

At the seventeenth time, it was the day of making rice cakes, the Chen family did not pound the mortar, it was made by several families together, the scene was quite joyful, even Chen Shuangchuan was rare to catch a ball childishly, pinched into a rabbit and pinched into a pig, and set a table full, attracting a circle of laughter.

There happened to be a market on the twentieth, Chen Shunan followed to buy New Year's goods, Chen Shuangchuan stayed at home to mend clothes, until the evening, the three came back exhausted, with full New Year's goods, Chen Shuang got a piece of red cake as a reward for obediently cleaning up at home, and then the other New Year's goods were carefully locked in the bed by Yang, and they would not be taken out until the New Year.

Twenty-four is the year of dusting, and almost all the corners and corners of the whole house have been cleaned, and even the floor is washed slippery, and there is no dust at all.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the busiest day of the year, the family got up early, ate in a hurry, and began a busy day, even Chen Shiyou Chen Shunan, who basically did not enter the kitchen, came to help. In the morning, the rice dumplings were wrapped, and Yang took out the glutinous rice and palm leaves that had been soaked yesterday, and the family gathered around to wrap them slowly.

In the afternoon, I made wheat cakes, stir-fried vegetables and fried noodles, and in the evening, I always made a table of dishes.

The cooking is all done by the Yang family, Chen Caichun and Chen Shuangchuan were stuffed with a bag of gold paper and silver, half of which was cut into strips, and the other half was folded into an ingot.

At sunset, Chen Shiyou and Chen Shunan turned the table they usually used for eating in one direction, moved the dishes one by one, put a pot of wine, three wine cups and eight pairs of chopsticks, burned paper money, worshiped the ancestors, and waited for half an hour to complete the worship before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Shiyou prepared to worship the sugar water pastries and fruits of the land, and Yang solemnly warned them about the New Year's taboos before letting them wash and sleep. Chen Shuangchuan slept late, and dimly saw that Yang bent down and put something next to their pillows, knowing that it was New Year's money, and even slept with a little smile.

Although there is no vigil and I go to bed early, there are firecrackers everywhere this night, the first half of the night is the so-called closing the door cannon to send the magic cannon, and the second half of the night is the opening cannon, and the time chosen by each family is different, causing Chen Shuangchuan to be noisy all night long, frowning and rolling half-asleep for a night.

But the next day, Chen Shuangchuan was still very energetic, woke up very early, and when he opened his eyes, Chen Caichun had also woken up, turning over the pillow, and took out two small red envelopes, "New Year's money." ”

Hurriedly dressed and went downstairs, Chen Shiyou was already downstairs, saw them coming down, took two cups of sweet tea from the table and handed them over and said, "Hurry up and drink it, safe and smooth." ”

This is the worship of tea, with dried fruits such as red dates and longan and brown sugar boiled into tea, placed in front of the god of the stove worshipped, it is said that the person who drinks this tea can bless a year of peace and prosperity, that is, to ask for an auspicious saying.

Chen Caichun was okay, he drank it very simply, Chen Shuangchuan didn't like to eat such soaked red dates and frowned before he swallowed one, and was knocked on the door of his head by Chen Shiyou and said, "If you don't have such wrinkles, you will soon become a little old woman." ”

There are really many taboos in the New Year, no sighing, no frowning, no sweeping and no pouring water, no unlucky words, no unlucky things, Chinese New Year's Eve said a lot, so much so that Chen Shuang listened a little tired of listening, but even the word boredom could not be said.

Overall, the Chinese New Year is quite pleasant, because you don't have to do any work, you can follow Chen Caichun around all day long, even if you go home late, you won't be scolded by Yang, and you have a pretty happy time.
