Chapter 399: Happy New Year

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the New Year of our traditional Chinese festival, and also the grand festival of our China. On this day, almost all Chinese jobs are closed, except for the staff in special positions. No matter how busy people are, they will come back from all over the world to reunite together, eat at a big table, and celebrate the New Year with a lively family.

On this day, the people of the Mo family got up early to be busy, and they also gave their employees a holiday, so that they could also go to reunite with their homes early for the Spring Festival. The adults are busy, the children are noisy, it's so lively.

In the early morning, Su Wanqiu, Song Luoluo and Feng Yuan were busy making dumplings and preparing ingredients. Mo Guihan and Mo Xiunian carried the ladder to sweep the cobwebs that were high above the corner of the house, it was rare that the two men could stay at home completely today, not working, and of course the children did not stick to their mothers, following behind their fathers.

At noon, Su Wanqiu made a lot of dumplings, all of which were trapped, and began to cook dumplings to eat.

Mo Xiunian and Mo Guihan took the children to paste Spring Festival couplets outside the gate.

Mo Zejun: "Dad, why do we have to paste this red paper at the door of our house for the New Year?"

Mo Guihan: "Because, this traditional custom of our Chinese people is inherited from our ancestors, which represents the farewell to the old and the welcome to the new, and good luck to come."

Mo Lingwei: "Oh, uncle, your blessing has been pasted, you are so stupid."

Mo Xiunian: "Haha, silly boy, this blessing is going to be pasted down, which means that the blessing has arrived."

Mo Shaochao: "Who are these two men with knives and beards?"

Mo Guihan pasted the Spring Festival couplets in his hand, jumped off the ladder and touched the child's little head, "This is another function of the ancient door gods, which is to drive away ghosts and avoid evil spirits and ensure the safety of the country." This kind of door god, it is said that it began with the name of the god and Yu Lei, there are various theories, and we still use the customary saying, which is still called Shen Tu and Yu Lei. They were originally mythological figures, and they were quite popular among the people of the Han Dynasty, believing that they had magical powers to catch the spirit. Because they usually live under the big peach tree in Dusu Mountain, people hang people on Chinese New Year's Eve, hang people and reeds (two gods use ghosts), and paint the images of two gods and tigers (two gods hold ghosts to eat tigers) on the door, using this method to ward off evil spirits. Stick this on the door of our Mo family to protect the safety of our family."

A few little guys poked their heads and listened to Mo Guihan's explanation with relish, Mo Guihan's explanation was always more connotative than Mo Xiunian's.

Mo Siqi: "Wow, Dad is so amazing."

At this time, Song Luoluo came out and told them to go back to eat dumplings.

Song Luoluo: "Is it pasted"?

Mo Xiunian: "It's all pasted."

Song Luoluo: "That's okay, hurry back to the house, it's cold outside, the dumplings are cooked, go in and eat the dumplings."

The children jumped happily and applauded: "Okay, okay, there are dumplings to eat, eat dumplings".

Su Wanqiu: "Come, let's eat dumplings, be careful of scalding."

Mo Xiunian: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious."

Song Luoluo: "Oh, eat slowly, the monkey is anxious, there is nothing, and oh, we have bread in it, eat it all, see what we can eat."

At this moment, Mo Guihan bit something as hard, "Oops", and slowly swallowed a coin under everyone's gaze.

Su Wanqiu: "Oh, this means to get rich in the coming year, hahaha."

Mo Guihan: "Ouch, it's my teeth."

Mo Jianyuan: "This is a good thing, Guihan, the company will still rely on you to take the lead in the future, and you will lead the company to develop better and better."

Mo Guihan: "I will, I will pick up such a burden for everyone."

Mo Xiunian: "Wait, what did I eat, haha", when he slowly spit out that it was a jujube beard, the adults laughed in unison, leaving the children confused.

Mo Shaochao: "Mom, Dad, what do you mean, what are you laughing at?"

Song Luoluo looked shy: "Uh........ Dad, this is ....... Fortune is the first meaning, hurry up and eat".

Mo Jianyuan: "Haha, Luoluo, you see that Guihan also has three children, you and Xiunian only have one child, are you considering adding a sister or brother to Shao Chao?"

Song Luoluo: "Oh, Dad, I still don't want it, I'm too tired to take care of the children, and now just one makes me tired."

Mo Jianyuan: "What can I be tired of, Xiaochao is now older, he can play by himself, and he doesn't need you to take care of him, besides, Chaochao can also help you take care of the baby, just like waiting, right, Chaochao."

Mo Shaochao: "Yes, Mom, I want a younger sister, you give birth to one for me to play, okay, Mom."

Mo Xiunian: "What, play?" Feelings: You are playing with your sister as a high-end toy."

Mo Shaochao: "Hey, hey, hey."

Su Wanqiu: "Hehe, you see that Xiu Nian has eaten out the omen, Luoluo, I think you can't escape, hahaha."

Song Luoluo: "Wanwan, you are so annoying".

Mo Xiunian: "Oh, don't be shy, let's do our best."

The family laughed again.

After eating the dumplings, everyone took a rest first, and Feng Yuan made a pot of good tea for everyone to drink.

In the afternoon, the three fathers and sons of the Mo family began to enter the kitchen to prepare for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, don't look at the big men of the Mo family usually do not enter the kitchen, but the cooking skills are not a joke, on the father and son soldiers, tonight's meal must be delicious.

Mo Jianyuan also personally killed the big rooster with very plump wings and a good cockscomb, and saluted the Bodhisattva, bless the coming year smoothly, peacefully, and the family is harmonious and happy.

After a busy afternoon, I finally started to eat dinner.

Su Wanqiu and Song Luoluo had already taught the children to ask for red envelopes for Mo Jianyuan.

The children stood in a row and said in unison: "Happy New Year, good health, all the best, Wishing you prosperity, red envelopes, hehehe".

Mo Jianyuan had already prepared the children's red envelopes, "Hehe, okay, one of you kisses grandpa, and grandpa will give you a red envelope."

After sending away the children's red envelopes, Mo Jianyuan also gave his children, daughter-in-law, and Feng Yuan a big red envelope.

Mo Guihan: "Dad, we are all such old people, we all have our own children, how can we give back the red envelope."

Song Luoluo: "Oh, I'll take it for you, what about so much nonsense."

Mo Xiunian: "Yes, thank you Dad."

Su Wanqiu: "Money fans, look at your fun."

Mo Jianyuan: "Haha, no matter how big you are, you are all my children."

Feng Yuan: "Ouch, thank you Master Mo, even I have a red envelope."

Mo Jianyuan: "You also work hard to take care of the children, you should be."

Su Wanqiu pushed Mo Guihan, Mo Guihan took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and handed a red envelope to Feng Yuan, "Come, this red envelope is for you, you have worked hard to take care of these bear children, happy new year."

Feng Yuan: "Ouch, it's not hard, it's hard there, thank you, thank you, I also prepare red envelopes for a few children, although it's not much, but it also expresses a little bit of my heart."

Su Wanqiu: "Quick, the children go to give my mother-in-law a hundred years, thank you mother-in-law."

Mo Guihan and Mo Xiunian also sent red envelopes to each other to a few children, and the children were so happy, they didn't care how much money was in it, it was such an atmosphere, they were so happy. The whole family ate dinner with laughter and laughter, put aside all their worries, welcomed the New Year, and prayed for a smooth coming year.

A few children ate dinner, listened to the sound of firecrackers outside, and couldn't wait to go out to set off firecrackers and fireworks.

According to custom, Mo Xiu first lit a string of firecrackers to celebrate the New Year.

The children were too frightened to come closer, covering their ears, but they were still jumping around with excitement.

Then the children started to set off fireworks, and they wanted to shoot guns, so happy.

After the children tossed, they returned home, and the family sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, eating fruits, but keeping the New Year.

This year, the Mo family, like every family, was busy and happy, putting aside all the troubles outside, welcoming the New Year, wishing each other well, and celebrating the New Year happily.
