Chapter 15: Chinese New Year's Eve
Zhou Ma and the others didn't expect Zhou Bo and his party to come back early, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but when they saw Zhou Bo's face with anger, they didn't dare to ask what happened.
Or Erniang spoke first: "Mother Zhou, do you have anything else to eat?" Hachiro, Jiulang, and Shiniang haven't eaten well yet, and they will be hungry if they want to come to the vigil. ”
Entering the house, Zhou Bo first glared at Xue Jian, and then said lightly: "When making dumplings for a while, Xue Xue saw that one person was making them, and no one was allowed to help her." ”
Xue Jian was naturally unconvinced: "Zhou, Bo!" Are you unreasonable? ”
Seeing Zhou Bo's eyes glaring, he immediately changed his words: "Young Master, you are pitiful and poor Xue saw that I had never eaten anything just by looking at what I was eating, smelling and eating all night, right?" Xue saw that starvation was a small matter, and there was no one to serve the eldest young master, so things were not very good, right? ”
Zhou Bo scolded her: "It's a big New Year, what is dead." ”
Xue saw that he stood next to him and pulled his arm and shook it, "Why don't we put some artillery battles first, collapse and collapse, and then everyone make dumplings together, okay?" ”
After speaking, Xue Jian glanced at the serious Zhou Bo again, and saw that there was no anger in his eyes, so he said in a sneer: "Da Lang, Da Lang, Da Lang, you agree!" ”
Siniang also clapped her hands and smiled and said, "It's a good idea to be serious!" "In the past, Siniang, like other younger siblings, was very in awe of this eldest brother, but now that she is taken by Xue Jian, she dares to say a word in front of her eldest brother.
"Good! Good! Good! Hachiro and the other children jumped up even more happily, for fear that the eldest brother would say anything against it, so he hurriedly said: "The fourth sister also said okay, let's let it go for a while, okay?" ”
Seeing Zhou Boluo nodded, Liulang and Erhu had already prepared fireworks and artillery battles, and a group of people ran to the courtyard and set them up, although the fireworks were very simple, far from being as wonderful and exquisite as Xuejian's previous life, but it was still the first one in Pingshan Village.
It didn't take much effort, Zhang Xiu's Zhang Xiu brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, two or three percent of the Ma family, and Xiping of the Wang family came to knock on the door.
The silver is limited, and the fireworks and artillery battles are naturally limited, and a group of people are reluctant to let them out, and Yukimi calls everyone into the house.
On the three large tables where I usually eat, there are three plates of dumpling filling, which are pork and green onions, white radish beef, carrot and mutton, Yukimi's suggestion is to make dumplings while making a small game, the game is very simple, the first person says three words that are not related to each other, and the second person uses these three words to arbitrarily combine into a sentence.
"It's okay," Zhou Bo nodded in agreement: "If you can't say it, you will be punished." ”
This kind of game is regardless of age, regardless of academic qualifications, no matter whether you are San Lang who is rich in learning five cars, or Zhou Bo who is cold-faced Langjun, when you encounter any cannonball thrown by the upper family at will, you will be thundered nonsense.
For example, Siniang gave it: white clouds, embroidery needles, and Daqing River. San Lang said: There is a girl named Bai Yun who dropped the embroidery needle into the Daqing River. Everyone's comment: San Lang is old, and he can't be married.
For example, Hachiro gave it: dumplings, artillery battles, fights. Zhou Bo said: Dumplings and artillery fights, and the artillery battles are won. Everyone's evaluation: If the artillery battle is won, the dumplings will be gone.
For example, Qian'er gave a skirt, a peony, and a fan. Xue saw the opposite: The three girls fought, the one called Luo Skirt grabbed the face full of flowers called Peony, the one called Peony beat a fan called Tuan Fan, and the one who called Tuan Fan tore Luo Skirt called Luo Skirt. Everyone's comment: Violent Yukimi is saying tongue twisters.
Anyway, the more everyone said it, the more outrageous it became, saying that it was dumplings, and that noodles were everywhere, Hachiro and a few other little pot friends, their faces were full of noodles, and they saw that Erniang was funny and distressed about the flour bought by the white flowers, so he said angrily: "You little ancestors are still playing on the side." ”
Only Xue saw Siniang and Du Ma Zhou Sanni making dumplings.
Qian'er is also good at packing, but she looks at the other people lively.
"Qian'er, you can play with them too." Erniang sent Qian'er away again, and Zhang Xiu came over to help.
In fact, Erniang and Siniang don't know how to wrap it, but they quickly learned it. Although the two of them are really not seen, but the emphasis is on a heart, this can be regarded as an ancient version of "fun with the people", Xue thought to himself.
Erniang and Siniang are also immersed in the joy of this kind of labor that has never been before, for a long time, but they forgot about the brothers and sisters who were playing on the side, occasionally raised their heads, and looked at everyone's harmonious appearance, Siniang and Erniang smiled relatively good-naturedly, and then bowed their heads and continued to wrap.
In this way, it took more than an hour to wrap all the dumplings while laughing and making trouble. Zhang Xiu looked at the dumplings of three colors, and was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that this snow really has some immortal method? How did she know, but Yukimi mixed different vegetable juices with noodles in order to distinguish them.
Erniang didn't leave those children anymore, and each family sent rows of dumplings, and the children were reluctant to thank and thank again before leaving.
When it was time to get the child, Zhou's mother, Du Ma and Sanni hurriedly put several different dumplings into the pot separately.
The dumplings of different colors were brought to the table at the same time, and the children couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, Qi Niang's chopsticks were just halfway extended, and suddenly turned to look at Zhou Bo, and his face turned red.
Zhou Bo pretended not to see it, and took the lead in extending his chopsticks to the dumplings, and everyone started moving.
"Yukimi, you eat too." Zhou Bo suddenly grabbed a dumpling and handed it to Yukimi's mouth.
Yukimi looked up, and everyone's eyes widened with strange expressions.
"Sister Xuejian, this dumpling is delicious, you can also take a bite." Seeing Yukimi looking at the dumplings in a daze, Jiuro couldn't help but say.
Xue Jian finally reacted, smiled sweetly, opened his mouth to eat, and then looked up at Zhou Bo, he continued to eat as if nothing happened, but his face was a little red because of the heat of the dumplings.
"Delicious, right? It's really delicious! Hachiro saw that Yukimi finished eating, and his eyes narrowed with laughter, and as he spoke, he picked up one and put it in his mouth.
"Oops!" As soon as Hachiro's dumplings entered his mouth, everyone heard him take a big breath, and everyone in the room looked at him in fright, but saw him covering his mouth tightly, as if he had bitten something.
Hachiro looked left and right, then slowly let go of his hand, spread his hand in front of Erniang, and said aggrievedly: "Second sister, I seem to have bitten something." ”
Du Ma poked her head and smiled: "Our brother Si Ge'er is really blessed, the first to bite the copper coin, this is a good sign, keep it next year and make a fortune!" ”
Jiulang immediately said very doggedly: "Starling, Zhi'er has always been the best friend with you, and if you get rich in the future, you must buy delicious food for Zhi'er." ”
Xiao Shi Niang first glanced at the third brother and the fourth brother, and couldn't help but say: "And Hui'er, Hui'er also wants to follow the starling brother to make a fortune and make a fortune!" ”
Listening to the milky voices of the two children, everyone laughed.
Hachiro said even more arrogantly: "No problem, no problem." ”
It made everyone almost unable to hold chopsticks.
Xue saw that she sat quietly next to Zhou Bo, smiling and silent, the dumpling she had just eaten also contained something, which was a candied fruit, indicating a sweet new life.
In the distance, the sound of beating the watch was finally heard, and as soon as the time passed, it was the new year.
Here, everyone ate dumplings, and worshiped each other for the New Year, and the night was also watched, and everyone waited for Zhou Bo to light the first firecracker of the New Year in the courtyard before they dispersed.
Xue saw a person standing in the courtyard, with the sparse sound of firecrackers in her ears, thinking back to the smiles on everyone's faces just now, such a day was beautiful and joyful.
She felt like she hadn't been so calm in a long time as she had been tonight.
"I'm Yukimi, I wish myself a Happy New Year!" She said to herself in her heart.
"Yukimi, Happy New Year!" With a soft voice, there was a warm breath on his neck, and without looking up, Xue Jian naturally snuggled into Zhou Bo's arms, "Dalang, Happy New Year!" "My heart, which was originally a little empty, is now full of warmth.
