153 Keeping the year
When Yuan Yuan and Wu Daniu returned to the villa of the painting academy, it was almost dinner.
Sun helped prepare dinner.
For the extra person to help, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu are very happy. Even Almond's work was a little easier, and he showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
At the unanimous request of Zhen Bao, Yuan Yuan, and Wu Daniu, at dinner, Sun also sat at the table.
At the beginning, there were some restraints, but gradually I found that Zhen Bao and Yuan Yuan were very good people to get along with, and the Sun family also relaxed.
After dinner, Sun and Wu Daniu drank tea in the hall and said thoughtful words.
In fact, Sun and Wu Da Niu have been separated for a long time. Although they are in the same city, Wu Daniu has always been in the painting academy, except when the epidemic was raging, he went back once, and he never went back.
The two of you have a chance to talk now.
Yuan Yuan and Zhen Bao entered the studio, although there was no need to cultivate, but Zhen Bao was not willing to waste a little time, and began to tell Yuan Yuan about the famous families on the mainland, the famous painting academies on the mainland, and the strange things on the mainland.
The two drank tea, ate snacks and fruits, and chatted like this.
After all, Zhen Bao is relatively old, and he has been living in a super family like the Zhen family, so his knowledge is naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
Yuan Yuan occasionally interjected to ask, which aroused Zhen Bao's interest in telling.
It wasn't until almost midnight that the two of them felt happy, and then went upstairs and went to cultivate their own souls.
The next day was the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the last day of the year.
Early in the morning, Sun took Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu, and Almonds to start cleaning.
Everywhere it was, it was cleaned. Then I wiped the furniture shiny.
Even the studio was carefully cleaned. In the past, Zhen Bao was not allowed to be except for him. Yuan Yuan, someone other than Wu Da Niu entered the studio.
After cleaning, Sun found some red paper and cut a lot of paper cuts.
There are blessed words, there are fish every year, there are auspicious wishes, there are roosters crowing, there are flowers blooming rich, and there are children who give wealth.
There are several kinds of blessing characters alone. Red cutouts. The auspicious pattern was cut out and pasted on the windows, doors, and walls, and the flavor of the New Year was much stronger.
Zhen Bao sighed secretly: There should still be a woman in the family. With a woman who can call the shots, the feeling at home is different.
Yuan Yuan and Wu Daniu looked at the paper cut out by the Sun family and felt very novel.
Although, paper-cutting Yuan Yuan has also seen it. But he didn't expect that there was a master of paper-cutting by his side.
As for Wu Daniu, because the family used to be poor. I don't have any money left to buy red paper, and I haven't seen Sun's paper-cutting for many years.
Now that I see it again, I am naturally very happy.
At noon, he hastily ate something, and Sun took Mrs. Wang with him. Mrs. Liu, Almond began to sweep the snow in the yard.
Wu Da Niu, Yuan Yuan also went to help.
If it weren't for Sun's reminder, they wouldn't have thought of clearing the snow at all.
Clear the snow to a patch. Wu Da Niu and Yuan Yuan built a big snowman.
For Yuan Yuan, Wu Da Niu is so big, and there is such an interest. Sun just looked at Huanxi and didn't say anything.
Today's dinner is Chinese New Year's Eve, so naturally it is a big head.
Everything that needs to be prepared, everything has been prepared. The menu prepared by Mrs. Wang, Sun has also seen it, it is very good, and there is nothing that needs to be changed.
When it got dark, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu brought dishes to the table.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is festive, although Zhen Bao and others, there are not many people, they can't eat much, but some dishes should be made or done.
Zhen Bao, Yuan Yuan, Wu Daniu, and Sun sat at the table, talking, and tasting the food that was served.
Because of the Chinese New Year, everyone drank a little wine.
On such a cold winter day, drinking some wine can also warm up your body.
It took more than half an hour to finish this meal.
After eating, Sun also went to help clean up, and it took more than half an hour to clean up.
Finally, it's over.
Zhen Bao, Yuan Yuan, Wu Daniu, and Sun sat at the table in the living room, and then ate dried fruits, fruits, candied fruits, snacks, chatted, and began to observe the New Year.
At Zhen Bao's suggestion, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wang, and Almonds also rested, sat down at a small table next to the living room, and put some dried fruits, fruits, candied fruits, and snacks on the table, so that they could also relax.
Zhen Bao used a deep voice to tell Yuan Yuan and others about the interesting story of the New Year at the Zhen family in Luofeng Mountain.
"The painting hall at home also starts on the 29th of the lunar month, and there are no classes. Then everyone was busy preparing for the New Year. The house is lit up and looks very festive...... Especially where the ancestors lived, many places were decorated with gold and silver, which was very luxurious. ”
"Master Bao, how old is the ancestor?" asked Yuan Yuan.
"Ancestor, it's about four or five hundred years old. For as long as I can remember, my ancestors have been like that. Now that I'm old, my ancestors are still like that. Nothing has changed. Zhen Bao said with emotion.
"As long as midnight passes, all the people who keep the New Year will visit the ancestors, and the ancestors will also send a large number of red envelopes, one per person. I remember that the red envelope of the clan elder was 1,000 taels of silver. The eldest lord, they are five hundred taels of silver. The eldest lady and their juniors are three hundred taels of silver. One generation lower than the eldest lady is a hundred taels of silver. ”
"The whole family gathered for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was very lively. Those who are in the branches, will also come. In the entire hall of the Zhen family, there are more than 100 tables, all of which are only the descendants of the Zhen family and important people in the branches. ”
"Slaves like us, even if they have status, can't get on the table. However, the eldest lord, the eldest lady, will take out some silver money every year and give it to us, so that we can hold a table of banquets by ourselves, and be happy. ”
Seeing such a Zhen Bao, Yuan Yuan also knew that Zhen Bao missed Luofeng Mountain.
That's where he lived for decades, after all. There are a lot of acquaintances, and there are a lot of memories of him. At this time of the New Year, it is inevitable that he will think of Luofeng Mountain.
Yuan Yuan also remembered Yuan Chenghan and Zhen Kerou.
In the past, in Qingshi Village, I spent the New Year with Yuan Chenghan, but I didn't have too many good memories.
Yuan Chenghan doesn't seem to care about the New Year at all. At most, when the twentieth month is on the thirtieth day, add two dishes, which is considered meaningful.
Now, Yuan Yuan understood his thoughts. Yuan Chenghan should also be afraid of the New Year. Because of the Chinese New Year, he will think of his relatives, Zhen Kerou, and his once warm home.
Thinking of Yuan Chenghan, who is still leisurely, has no news, and does not know life and death, Yuan Yuan felt a deep guilt for this father.
It's all himself, who used to be too ignorant and always complained about him, but now I realize that he has actually given himself a lot.
Yoyo seemed to sense Yuan Yuan's depressed mood, walked over, put his head on Yuan Yuan's lap, stared at Yuan Yuan with big eyes, and looked at Yuan Yuan gently.
Yuan Yuan smiled, touched Youyou's head, and looked at Youyou carefully.
Since Yoyo accepted the inheritance given by Xiong Poshan and then began to cultivate, he has become more spiritual.
Moreover, recently, Yuan Yuan has also fed Youyou a lot of health strengthening medicines.
Although he didn't know how well Yoyo was cultivating, but seeing Yoyo becoming more and more human, Yuan Yuan knew that Yoyo was improving.
Yuan Yuan looked at Youyou carefully and smiled again, "Youyou, you're a girl, why do you still have a beard." Everyone else has a beard because they're men. ”
Listening to Yuan Yuan's childish words, Zhen Bao smiled and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, next to Yoyo's mouth, one on the left and one on the right, there are a few relatively long hard hairs, which should be a beard.
Sun spoke, "Oh, young master, this cat and dog are not the same as people. Cats and dogs are male and female, as long as they are bearded breeds, they will grow beards. ”
Then, Sun began to marvel again, talking about how smart Yoyo was.
"I fed her in the afternoon, not knowing that she still had to eat fruit, so I just cut some beef for her and put it on a plate. She won't eat, but follows me, front and back. Later, Liu's sister-in-law said that I knew that she still had to eat fruit. So he cut the fruit for her, put it on a plate, and put it next to the rice, and she began to eat. ”
"I cleaned her basket where she was sleeping, and when she was done, she rubbed her head against my leg. The eyes, shiny, shiny, seemed to be able to make out the smile. ”
......
Wu Daniu said, "Mother, Yoyo is naturally different. Youyo has a chance to become a spirit beast in the future. When the spirit beast reaches the sixth order, it can transform into a human form. ”
After seeing Feng Lan, Xiong Poshan, Xing Ziying, and Wu Daniu, I also feel that I am a well-informed person. told Sun about some things about spirit beasts and spirit trees.
Sun was full of admiration next to her, these things, she had never heard of. Now that I know it from my son, I know that my knowledge is a little shallow.
At the same time, a huge joy also rose in her heart: Look, this is my son, who has not only followed a talented painter like the young master, but also become a master of the sixth layer of the day after tomorrow, and has grown so much knowledge.
Thinking of this, Sun wiped away a handful of tears again: If the child's father is still there, how good it would be. It's great to look at where we're now.
Wu Daniu knew when he saw Sun's appearance that Sun remembered his father again. So, he took Sun's hand and said, "Mother, there will be a long time to go in the future, you must watch your son become more and more powerful." ”
Sun nodded, "Well, Niang must watch and watch the big cow enter the innate realm." ”
For a commoner like Sun, knowing the innate realm is already good. The higher realms, they don't know.
Zhen Baole stroked his beard, "Sister-in-law Sun, this kid Da Niu works hard and has high talent, so it will not be a problem to enter the innate realm in the future." What we have to see is how long it will take for him to enter the innate realm. What I'm looking forward to is for him to step into the innate within five years. I don't know if it's possible. ”
Wu Daniu showed a serious expression on his face, "Master Bao, I will definitely work hard to enter the innate realm within five years." ”
Zhen Bao smiled and nodded, "Okay, good ......"
At this time, a huge firecracker sound sounded outside the window, and many fireworks rose into the sky, lighting up the entire sky.
It's midnight, and the new year has arrived. (To be continued.) )
