The New Year's gift of the Gu family's grandmother, the Qing Soul, was sent in advance, and the Qing Soul's grandparents had already passed away, but there was only one cousin, who basically broke off contact after her own mother died, and there was no need to give gifts.

The New Year gifts of several cousins and grandfathers of the family are given here only on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Therefore, after sending the New Year's gifts to several cousins of my aunt's grandmother's family, and sending tofu sprouts and hundred-leaf noodles to my aunt and grandmother in a neighboring county, this New Year's gift is considered to be over.

The day before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he had to sweep the dust, and now he is not interested in burning paper money and incense for the ancestors, so the long case of the hall house only has photos of grandparents and deceased parents, and the green soul takes the second egg to wipe it clean, and inserts pine branches with peanuts hanging on the eaves of the front wall. Sprinkled water and swept the floor, and tied a broom with a bamboo pole to clean up the cobwebs and dust everywhere. The tables and chairs are also scrubbed, and the dust is done.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, the uncles took the two eggs of the green soul to the round grave. After returning from the grave, he helped the family chop meat filling, which was for making dumplings and meat balls.

They have four major dishes necessary for the Chinese New Year's Eve here, one is meat balls, the second is braised pork, the third is braised fish, and the fourth is braised chicken or duck.

Even for people who are in difficulty, this meal at noon in the Chinese New Year's Eve must be made up as much as possible.

Of course, these dishes are made in sufficient portions, and they have to be saved until the first day of the new year to eat again, which is called more than every year.

In previous years, I was very poor, and it was good to have a full meal on the first day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but in recent years, life has been slightly better, especially this year, the family has divided some meat, braised chicken and braised duck may not be able to take out, but fish and meat can be saved.

Of course, the Qingsoul family is not short of fish and chicken, so on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Aunt Yan and Gu Zhen were busy all morning and cooked all the meals for the New Year.

After eating the reunion dinner, in the afternoon, Aunt Yan and Gu Zhen began to be busy steaming buns, adjusting dumpling filling, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and using this mixed filling to make dumplings during the vigil.

Her family had a good life, and the buns were made with a cabbage and meat filling, and a sesame candy filling.

The dumplings are filled with Chinese cabbage vermicelli and pork. There are also many packs, which are hearty enough.

There were two adults who were busy, and she didn't need the green soul to do anything, so she took out the red paper and wrote the couplet.

As a result, several cousins and a few close to the production team all sent red paper for her to help write. It's not that people don't know how to write, but her handwriting is practiced when she is young, and whoever sees a brush is praised.

It took her more than half an afternoon to write this couplet.

When the couplets to each family were sent away, Qing Soul remembered the old people in the farm behind him, so he also wrote four couplets, one was pasted on the door of the farm, and the left was nothing but six animals were prosperous and five grains were abundant, and the remaining three were given to Mr. Ouyang and his wife, and Mr. Wu and Mr. Chen lived in the house.

The content of the couplets is all cliché and joyful words, but it was the words that surprised several gentlemen.

The pen of the green soul is well written, they know it, but they don't know that this child's hand calligraphy is majestic, powerful, and has the solemnity of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

In the early years, the Yan family kept filial piety, not to stick to the couplet, and the green soul never practiced calligraphy in front of people, of course they had never seen it.

Mr. Wu's wife, Mr. Cheng was born in a scholarly family, and he was good at calligraphy and painting, so he was really surprised to see it, and he couldn't help nodding and said: "I don't know how to practice this word, just look at this strength, and I can't really practice it for one or two decades." This kid is so good at a young age, I finally believe it, these people, in some things, are really talented. It's that I've been obsessed with calligraphy and painting for half my life, and I think my handwriting is good, but it's not as good as it. ”

In fact, the green soul has already restrained itself when it was written.

But it's not easy for the good in the world to imitate the bad.

At the level of writing now, because she has not practiced for a long time, it is not a little worse than the words in her previous life.

was praised by Mr. Cheng like this, Qing Soul blushed a little: "How can it be as good as Grandma Cheng said." When I was three years old, my father enlightened me, and I have been practicing calligraphy seriously, but no one has seen it. ”

Mr. Ouyang was especially pity: "What a good seedling, it's a pity." ”

It's a pity that he didn't say anything, but everyone understands.

It would be nice if the college entrance examination was resumed.

This child is really a fast learner, she used to learn English, but now she has no problem with basic conversation, and she can read English books as long as they don't involve some professional vocabulary. Newly learned German French, because there are no professional books, a few gentlemen just take to teach some, not systematic, but as long as she is taught, she can remember the labor, like this, it will not take a year, the basic conversation of German and French, she must be fine.

As for algebra, geometry, and physics, she was almost exhausted by her high school curriculum.

However, when they thought that this kid had said that the college entrance examination would definitely be resumed in the future, and the country would eventually get better, several old people were relieved and told Qing Soul: "You must continue your studies, don't delay." If you give up your studies, it is not only a loss for your own life, but also a loss for your country. A few of us are old, as long as possible, as long as you are willing to learn, what if we teach you everything we have learned? ”

In such a difficult environment, still remembering the country, with a bright heart, and selflessly teaching what he has learned to others, the green soul was moved and solemnly said: "Gentlemen, rest assured, I will definitely study hard, and in the future, I will be a useful person for the country, and I will live up to what the gentlemen taught me." ”

On the evening of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qing Soul divided some of the dishes he made at home, added some buns, and secretly sent them to several old gentlemen.

When I went, several old gentlemen were also making dumplings, and it was rare to wrap them back by themselves, so they boiled a pot first, and the green soul just came out of the pot, and several old gentlemen gave her a bowl.

Mr. Cheng said with a smile: "Come, this is the stuffing I mixed, the radish vermicelli filling, taste the taste." ”

Mr. Cheng is from Gusu, and his taste is not quite the same as them here, and Qing Soul tasted a few, and it feels really good.

When I went home, I gave New Year's gifts to several cousins, and then I went home to accompany Aunt Yan and Gu Zhen to make dumplings.

At twelve o'clock, the firecrackers were set off, the deadbolt was sealed with red paper, and the door was opened the next day.

You don't have to keep an all-night vigil to sleep when the door is closed.

Gu Zhen and Aunt Yan put New Year's money and cloud cakes wrapped in red paper under the pillows of several children. This cake symbolizes the blessings of good intentions every year.

The next morning, the first thing I did when I woke up was to open the red envelope and count the New Year's money, eat rice cakes and get up again.

The first thing you say when you see someone is to say a blessing for the New Year.

Qing Soul was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, got up, and went to the east house, Erdan and Yaya were also called up, Aunt Yan had already cooked the dumplings, saw the child get up, brought the dumplings, and the family of five sat on the kang and began to eat dumplings.
