On the twenty-ninth day, the corners of the house were swept by a feather duster, and the few furniture, tables and chairs were wiped clean. The New Year's goods at home have been prepared, and Zhou's father also bought a few strings of firecrackers and came back to set them off for 30 nights and the first morning of the new year.

Zhou's father asked a person in the village to write a few couplets for his family, and pasted them on the door with batter.

The couplet on the door of the main house is: Spring returns to the earth, and the family is blessed.

This painting is very large and neatly written, Zhou Xiaoyun admired it for a long time, and thought that he would practice writing couplets for his family next year.

Time seemed to move very slowly in the anxious hearts of the children, and after eating the thirty noon meal, Dabao felt that the afternoon was particularly long. He was looking forward to getting dark as soon as possible, and he was a little absent-minded even when he was playing.

As for why?

I believe all children know that after dinner, it is the most anticipated part of the children: the New Year's money!

In the evening, the family went to the bathhouse in the neighboring village to take a bath.

Speaking of which, taking a bath is a big problem in Zhou Xiaoyun's life that cannot be solved. When the weather is warm, you can also boil some hot water to wash at home, and when it is cold, it will be troublesome. There is no bathhouse in the village, and the nearest bathhouse takes more than an hour to go back and forth in the village of my aunt's house, which directly leads to Zhou Xiaoyun taking a bath once or twice a month. I can't help it, I can only endure it, and don't be sloppy, all of them are like this.

Before the New Year, of course, he had to take a shower and clean the New Year, and Zhou's father had to take Dabao and Xiaobao to shave their heads, and the hair of the two children covered their ears.

There were so many people who reported this idea that the small bathhouse was crowded with women who had brought their children to bathe. There was no shower, just a hot pool, the water was no longer clear and a little muddy, Zhou Xiaoyun controlled himself not to think about how many people had washed in the pool first, quickly washed and dressed, and came out to see that Zhou's father had come out with Dabao Xiaobao.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Yuzhen came out with Erya in her arms.

Zhou's father wanted to take his sons to shave their heads, and Zhao Yuzhen naturally followed him to the barbershop.

The usually deserted room was also crowded with people today, and it took a while for a while before it was the turn of the Zhou family, father and son. The man who shaves his head does not have much skill, and he always shaves his head into a short and flat one.

Father Zhou and Dabao Xiaobao stood together, from tall to short, with a flat head, Zhou Xiaoyun snickered when he saw it.

Zhao Yuzhen's eyes fell on Zhou Xiaoyun's head, and Zhou Xiaoyun secretly screamed that it was not good. Sure enough, Zhao Yuzhen spoke:

"Big girl, you haven't cut your hair for half a year, it's all up to your shoulders, go cut it too!"

Don't cut it! I finally got a ponytail!

Zhou Xiaoyun knew that if you can't resist head-on, you can only save the country, so she smiled and coquettishly: "Mom, I won't cut it." You see, my uncle's business is so good, so many people are waiting. ”

That's right, many people are waiting for their family to shave their heads!

"However, your hair is too long, and it takes a lot of trouble to comb it."

Zhao Yuzhen is busy working in the field at home every day, and the pigs in the chicken and duck pens in the yard of several children have to be fed, how can she still have the spirit to tie pigtails for the children?

"Mom, you forgot! I comb my hair by myself, so it doesn't take up your time. You let me keep my hair, I like to wear braids and short hair like a boy. ”

Zhou Xiaoyun began to comb his pigtails with colored rubber bands since his hair passed through his ears, and he never bothered Zhao Yuzhen a little.

Zhao Yuzhen has nothing to say, since the child's hair doesn't need to be combed by herself, let her be!

Zhou Xiaoyun successfully dispelled Zhao Yuzhen's thoughts and kept his pigtails, and he was very happy. There is no good shampoo to wash the hair, and it is inevitably a little yellow, but it is still soft. Zhou Xiaoyun plans to get some sesame seeds to eat in the future to improve his hair quality.

After arriving home, Zhao Yuzhen began to busy with the most important Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the year.

There are several large bowls of dishes on the square table, including roast fish, roast chicken, meatballs and scrambled eggs.

The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family who ate this meal all had round bellies, and Xiaobao ate a lot of fish, which made Zhao Yuzhen very happy.

After eating, Zhou's father went into the house to get something.

Dabao was very excited, and Zhou Xiaoyun was also infected by him, looking forward to the New Year's money.

Usually there is very little pocket money, and at most I buy some pencil erasers for a dime or two corners. Who wants to have an empty pocket? It's a pity that the family is not rich, and Dabao and Zhou Xiaoyun have very few opportunities to have money.

Father Zhou began to press the New Year's money one by one, Dabao is boss got the red envelope first, and when he opened it, he saw that it was two yuan, and he shouted loudly.

Two yuan is enough to buy a lot of gadgets. Especially the kind of "foreign fire whip" that boys love to play during the New Year, like a matchstick the size of a matchstick, take out a piece and throw it away, there is a loud noise, a dime and a box, and Dabao has been greedy for a long time. Now that I finally have the money to buy it, can Dabao not be happy? At this time, Dabao math came to an uplift, and it was enough to buy twenty boxes, and it was enough to play two boxes a day.

Zhou Xiaoyun opened his own look, and it was not surprising that it was two yuan. She was not as exaggerated as Dabao, she smiled very cultivated, and thought about buying a brush to practice calligraphy in the coming year.

Xiaobao didn't study, and the New Year's money was less than one yuan, which was enough for Xiaobao to be happy. Holding a brand new dollar bill and jumping around with my brother.

Erya got five dimes symbolically, and she happily put the money in her pocket, causing her parents to laugh.
