Chapter 55: Chinese New Year
Lin Run's daughter-in-law led the people with a group of concubines to quickly clean up the two yards, not only the quilts, couches, etc. were replaced with new ones, but the screens and windows were also opened in the warehouse to choose the best.
The furnishings in the house have been renewed and made as comfortable as possible.
Lin Qingwan took Lin Yubin to live here, and then it was Chinese New Year's Eve, so he simply spent it in the old mansion.
Linjiazhuang is still very lively during the New Year, although it is not in the city, but the arrangement is not worse than in the city, the streets are hung with red lanterns, and even some people hang out the lanterns to be used for the Lantern Festival in advance, and the whole Linjiazhuang is full of lights.
Because they are all of the same race, everyone will put out the delicious things at home after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the children and villagers to taste.
Like the sixth uncle, the eighth uncle and the eleventh uncle, because the assets in the clan are counted, so the things put out are the most abundant, all kinds of snacks and sweets, and the children directly surrounded the three families.
When people are old, they love to be lively, and they love to listen to good words, so they are happy to stand in front of the stall and hand out things to the children.
Every child who stepped forward to grab snacks and candy said good things as if they didn't want money, took things and put them in the cloth pockets that their parents sewed for them, turned around and ran to another house to catch them.
The poor ones made one or two snacks to put out, although they were few, but they were better than the taste, so they were snatched clean by the children as soon as they were taken out, and the other party was blessed and happy.
Lin Qingwan didn't expect Lin Jiazhuang's year to be like this, and she was not prepared for a while.
Lin Yubin also celebrated the New Year in Linjiazhuang for the first time, and his eyes were shining.
But she is still in the filial piety period, and she didn't go out even if she was tempted.
Lin Qingwan glanced at her and said, "Let's take some things out of our house, in the end, it's the New Year, it's not good to push the joy out." ”
She turned around and called Uncle Zhong, "What snacks and candies are prepared at home?" Take them all out and put them on the table, and find two children to attract them all in a while. ”
Old Uncle Zhong hesitated, "It's all taken out, what should I do on the first day of junior high school?" ”
In addition to giving red envelopes, the children in the first year of junior high school should also have snacks and candies.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "We don't go to the theater at night, and we can't drink alcohol, so let's just get together and make some candy and snacks, which will be used by Ming'er." ”
Uncle Lao Zhong was happy when he heard this, "Then the old slave will go and prepare." ”
Lin Qingwan pointed to Lin Yubin and said: "Take her away, every family has a master standing in front of the stall, and our family is no exception." ”
In this way, Lin Yubin can play with them.
Lin Yubin's face was slightly red, and he muttered, "Little aunt, I'm not going, I'll accompany you at home." ”
"It's not like you're going outside, just handing out candy to the kids at the door."
Uncle Lao Zhong also smiled and persuaded: "Eldest sister, let's go, there are few people in the old house, and I will also add popularity to Tian during the New Year." ”
The children in Linjiazhuang subconsciously avoided the main house, because there were only a few servants living there, and their parents did not let them visit the house. This time was no exception, so I was chilled when I was led into the street of the main house by two friends.
A group of children involuntarily stopped when they walked here, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I, let's go home, it's getting late." ”
The young man leading the way in front rolled his eyes and said, "Late fart, you don't watch the show?" Let's go, there are a lot of things in the main house, and I heard that there are desserts from Mi Fang Zhai, which are usually good things that you can't eat. ”
The children swallowed en masse.
Most of the people present are not in a good situation, and they only have a snack during the Chinese New Year, and it is very enviable to be able to eat caramel at ordinary times.
Therefore, the friends can't resist the temptation of Mifangzhai desserts.
The children were still hesitating, but the leading teenager had already pedaled forward, and turned around and beckoned: "Hurry up, it's too late, and the things will be gone." ”
The children subconsciously chased after them, and after running forward for two hundred meters, they saw a brightly lit gate, and three long tables were placed at the door, which were full of all kinds of snacks and sweets.
The children instantly put their fears behind, cheered and rushed over, rushed to the front and subconsciously lined up, and all of them raised their smiling faces and smiled brightly at Lin Yubin standing in front of the desk.
Lin Yubin subconsciously smiled back, then came back to his senses and pursed his lips, and said softly: "Take what you like." ”
The young man at the head immediately clenched his fists and bent down and said, "Little aunt has a good New Year." ”
Then he took out the cloth bag, all the way over, he didn't take much, he didn't think he wanted to eat a little bit back to his parents, he took more of what he liked to eat, walked from the left to the right, and instantly filled a small half cloth bag.
The same is true for the children in the back, everyone gives Lin Yubin New Year's greetings, the auspicious words are not the same, some are not as high as the desk, while grabbing snacks on tiptoe and stuffing them into their mouths, while wishing Lin Yubin more and more beautiful as he grows older, and the smarter he grows.
Lin Yubin was so happy that she directly reached out to help him stuff the candy into the small cloth bag he brought, and when she reached in, she found that the cloth bag was full, and she couldn't help laughing.
He took a relatively large purse for him to fill, "Tomorrow you bring a bigger cloth bag, and I will fill it for you." ”
The child was even happier, and blurted out the nice words, "Little sister, you are the best-looking person I have ever seen." ”
The young man on the side pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Twelve, you just said that my mother is the best-looking person." ”
The child who had just reached the boy's waist immediately said, "That's because I haven't seen the young lady." ”
Lin Yubin was so happy that he couldn't straighten his waist, and felt that although Sanfang and Eighth Uncle hated it, there were also lovely people in the clan.
After this wave of children was caught, the children who heard the wind also arrived in a hurry, and seventy or eighty children instantly squeezed the gate of the Lin family.
Up to sixteen years old, down to three years old, all who can run by themselves come, those who can't run by themselves, the adults in the back family also hugged, and the little hands were put together by the adults to give Lin Yubin a New Year's greeting, and then grabbed the candy and left.
Since the Gengwu disaster, the Lin family's main mansion has been so lively for the first time.
Old Uncle Zhong looked at it and burst into tears of joy.
Lin Yubin also had a lot of fun, met many girls of the same age as her, and everyone made an appointment to play together another day.
When the gongs and drums sounded on the side of the grain field, everyone rushed to the grain field with a whoosh, and the troupe was about to perform.
The people in front of the gate of the Lin family dispersed at once, and returned to quiet, the old uncle took people to the house to pack up his things, and saw Lin Yubin leaning against the door and looking over there blankly, so he stepped forward and comforted: "If the eldest sister also wants to see it, the old slave will ask Mama to take you there?" ”
Lin Yubin shook his head slowly, and said softly: "No need, I'm still in the filial piety period, how can I watch the drama and have fun?" ”
Those people are out of five suits, so they can enjoy the joy to their heart's content, but she just suddenly experienced the coldness to the lively, and then from the lively to the cold, and she sighed in her heart for a while.
Lin Yubin turned around and went back to the house.
Lin Qingwan was leading someone to knead dough and make snacks, and when she saw her coming, she beckoned: "Come here, I plan to make some snacks for your father and mother, and you can help me add water." ”
Lin Yubin's heart was sour, and he stepped forward and hugged his sister-in-law.
Lin Qingwan was stunned, patted her hand and asked, "What's the matter, someone is angry with you?" ”
Lin Yubin shook his head, "I just think that our family is too small, and our relatives are also out of five suits." ”
If there are a few families in the clan who don't have five suits, then there will be more people who keep filial piety like them tonight.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "I thought it was something, if you think it is less, you will have two more children in the future, and you will have a few more children, and when you become a grandmother, won't there be more relatives?" ”
Lin Yubin's face flushed, and he pushed her and said, "Little aunt is talking nonsense again." ”
"Where is the nonsense, the ancestors who moved south with the Sima clan back then were only about a dozen people, but you see that the scale of Linjiazhuang is not worse than a township. If they don't leave, I'm afraid that Suzhou Guo County won't be able to accommodate so many people. ”
Lin Yubin was annoyed, and directly ordered the noodles in the basin and wiped them on her face, "I'm just a doll, why are you embarrassed to say this in front of me?" ”
Lin Qingwan laughed, "Twelve-year-old dolls? Well, it's thirteen after tonight, hahaha......"
Lin Yubin's sadness just now dissipated, and he couldn't help but fight with his little aunt.
Uncle Lao Zhong, his wife and the other subordinates watched happily, because there was a master to celebrate the New Year together this year, everyone's mental outlook was different, even if they couldn't go to the grain field to watch the play, everyone was very happy.
I made a confectionery with all my might.
When it was late at night, there were already a lot of candy and snacks in the kitchen, so Lin Qingwan asked everyone to go down to rest, and she also took Lin Yubin back to the main room.
"Bring the chessboard, let's play chess." lest you fall asleep.
Lin Yubin slept a lot at noon, but she was not sleepy, she went to set up the chessboard with great interest, "Little aunt, I studied for a few days last time, and I have already thought of the next step, shall we continue to play a game?" ”
Lin Qingwan was stunned, "Didn't you accept the chess pieces?" ”
Lin Yubin disagreed, "I remember everything, you wait for me to come." ”
Lin Qingwan gave a thumbs up, "You're better than me!" ”
