Chapter 257: Chinese New Year's Eve
If you are busy, it will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xu Shiyan and his wife have four children, and they are really busy.
Therefore, Xu Chenghou said that the two families are still celebrating the New Year together this year, and it is convenient to be lively.
On the morning of the thirtieth, Xu Shiyan cleaned up his yard, erected a lantern pole, and hung a red lantern.
After pasting couplets and blessing characters outside, and after cleaning up, I went back to my parents with Su Anying with four babies to celebrate the New Year.
Now that the day is better, of course Zhou Guilan has to prepare more delicious food.
Since ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Guilan has led her daughter and daughter-in-law to work in the kitchen again, and fried one delicious food after another.
The aroma wafted into the room, and the greedy Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping stretched out their heads to look at the kitchen with drooling.
"Two little gluttonous cats, then, take them and eat them, don't eat them, there are a lot of dishes."
Zhou Guilan took a bowl of freshly fried meatballs, dried fruits, and crispy small twist flowers, and asked Xu Haiyuan to take them to the house to eat, saving them from being hungry here.
The two babies took the bowl and happily went back to the house to eat.
They ate, and the two little ones were hungry when they saw it, and they screamed.
Fortunately, Xu Shiqin was watching in front of him, and Xu Haiyuan almost handed the balls to his younger brother.
"No, they're too young to chew these fried things, you two eat it, I'll give them steamed chicken cakes to eat."
Remember, don't feed them anything else. ”
Xu Shiqin watched his nephew and niece eat all the delicious food in the bowl, and then he was relieved and went to the kitchen to give the two small steamed chicken cakes.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the meals were ready, and the kang table was placed on the kang in the east house, and the family sat around the table to have a reunion dinner.
In the evening, Xu Chenghou coaxed the children, and the others started to make dumplings, and at half past eleven in the evening, firecrackers rang out one after another.
Xu Chenghou called out to his sleeping grandchildren and told them to go out and set off firecrackers.
As soon as Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping heard that they were going to set off firecrackers, they got up all of a sudden, dressed up and went out with their grandfather and father.
In the past two years, I haven't taken care of it, and some old rules have reared their heads.
Before setting off firecrackers in the dumplings, Zhou Guilan will set up a heaven and earth table in the courtyard, and some offerings such as steamed buns, chicken, fish, meat, and wine will be placed on the table.
When the water in the pot boiled and the dumplings were about to be cooked, Xu Chenghou led his children and grandchildren out and lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the bowl with bud rice noodles.
At this time, it is not easy to find an incense burner bowl, most of them use two bowls to fill a bowl of bud rice noodles, and they are really done.
Wait until it runs out, and the bud rice noodles can still be fed to pigs and chickens, without delay.
Xu Cheng lit incense thickly, sent paper, and Xu Shiyan lit a five-hundred-ring firecracker over there.
After the firecrackers were over, Xu Chenghou led his children and grandchildren to kneel down and kowtow in front of the table of heaven and earth, sincerely praying, praying for peace and success in the new year.
After sending the paper, they kowtowed, and then, the two of them turned on the coaxing mode.
This year, there are more firecrackers on the market, in addition to ordinary firecrackers and two kicks, there are other patterns.
What flash thunder, colorful pearls, drill monkeys, and some children's favorite small cannons, what small planes, little bees, everything.
In order to coax the child, Xu Shiyan bought dozens of fireworks for dozens of yuan, and brought a basket back, all of which were taken out at this time and lit one by one.
Flash Thunder and Colorful Pearl are a bit similar, they are both balls flying out one by one and exploding in the sky.
The flash mine will explode with a loud noise, and the colored pearl is not so moving, and it looks better when it explodes.
The two little babies looked up at the beautiful fireworks blooming in the dark night sky, and jumped happily and slapped their hands.
Xu Shiyan and Xu Chenghou saw that the children were so happy, and they became more and more energetic.
If it weren't for Zhou Guilan cooking the dumplings and calling them back to eat the dumplings, the two of them would probably be able to continue.
"Let's go, go home and eat dumplings first, and when we're done eating, we'll come out and put them out."
Xu Chenghou looked at the remaining ones in the basket, he might not be able to finish them for a while, so let's eat first.
The two babies were not short when they were outside, but it was quite cold outside at night, and their little faces were red from the cold, and they didn't care.
The two children were addicted to watching fireworks, and when they heard that they went into the house to eat, they all reluctantly turned back.
"Dad, can you put a few more?" Xu Jinping pulled the corner of Xu Shiyan's clothes to discuss.
"Well, let's go into the house to warm up, and when you're full in a while, Dad will take you out and put it away."
Look, there's still all that in the basket, we'll put it all in a while. Xu Shiyan picked up his daughter and coaxed the little girl back to the house.
Xu Jinping heard that she would come out to set off fireworks later, so she was happy, hugged her father's neck, and happily followed her father and grandfather into the house.
The kang table is still outside, so I have to stand aside.
This side stand is actually a table, and the legs under it can be folded, and when not in use, they can be folded up and placed next to the wall, so the locals call it a side stand.
There were six or seven plates of dumplings on the table, a bowl of garlic sauce in the middle, a bottle of vinegar and a bottle of sesame oil next to it.
In front of everyone, small plates and chopsticks were arranged.
Zhou Guilan saw that Xu Chenghou and his son came back with their children, so she beckoned them to eat dumplings together.
"Come, sit down, let's eat dumplings."
The table was placed next to the edge of the kang, Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping were arranged on the edge of the kang, and the two babies were small and sat on the edge of the kang.
Zhou Guilan put four or five dumplings in a small bowl for each of them, and poured soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil into their small plates.
The two children went to bed tonight, they didn't eat much, and they were a little hungry at this time.
The fragrant hot dumplings were in front of them, and the two children were hungry, and they couldn't care about them, so they hurriedly ate them.
Xu Jinping was still a little younger, and it was a bit difficult to hold the dumplings with chopsticks, so she simply started directly.
It doesn't matter if the adults see it, let them be, as long as the children are willing to eat.
"Yes, it's delicious, grandma wrapped money, peanuts, red dates, and sugar in the dumplings, see what you can eat."
Zhou Guilan sat next to the two children and coaxed them to eat.
The two little ones fell asleep, and they didn't wake up when the firecrackers were set off outside, so everyone could have a meal with peace of mind.
The dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve are packed with things, all for the sake of plattering, most of them are wrapped in money, sugar and the like.
Of course, there are also people who are uneasy and kind.
There used to be a mother-in-law, in the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, wrapped a small piece of charcoal, and said while wrapping, look at who is black in the family, who can eat it.
When she said this, the mother-in-law stared at the eldest daughter-in-law, which meant that the daughter-in-law was dark-hearted.
As a result, when the dumplings were boiled and eaten, the dumplings wrapped in charcoal were eaten by the youngest son of the family.
The angry youngest son had a black face at that time and lost his temper with his mother.
Zhou Guilan doesn't have those bad intentions, she wants to celebrate the New Year, and no one will look for that uncomfortable.
No matter who eats what, the big guy is all kinds of good words and blessings, the New Year, the picture is this celebration.
Not to mention, most of the money was eaten by Xu Shiyan and Xu Shiqin.
Xu Shiqin also ate dates, peanuts, etc., and everyone said that Xu Shiqin would have good luck in the coming year.
Tomorrow will still be updated on time at seven o'clock, thank you for your support, more genuine good books, all in the starting point Chinese network.
