After letting go of the firecrackers, lighting the ancestors with incense and offering tribute, the family sat in the hall and prepared the meal.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can be said to be the most sumptuous and ceremonial meal of the year.

And there must be fish, which means that there is more than one year in a row, and at the end of the year, life is good, and you can save some surplus of the family foundation.

In this way, there is no fear of the coming year.

As soon as Zhang Sijiu and his family sat down, there was a knock on the door.

The family looked at each other, and they were all a little confused: at this time, who would come to the door?

CMB volunteered to open the door, but as soon as it opened, it didn't come back, and there was no movement.

Zhang Sijiu went out of the room and looked at it, and his good mood was ruined a little. The person who came was Liu Changjin, Zhaoyin's father.

He still has his son in his hand.

Zhaoyin lowered his head and listened to what Liu Changjin said, and he knew that the mood was very bad when he looked at it.

She thought about it and passed.

After passing, I heard what Liu Changjin was saying, which probably meant that he would let CMB go back for the New Year.

CMB has remained silent.

Zhang Sijiu went over and asked with a smile, "Why don't you come in and talk?"

On such a cold day, Liu Changjin didn't wear a thick cotton coat, a thin layer of padded jacket, and it was torn in many places and patched.

The key is that it is still dirty, not to mention the dirt, the layer of oily dirt on the cuffs and neckline is the real thing that makes people dare not look at it again, for fear that goosebumps will hit the ground in the next moment.

Liu Changjin looked at Zhang Sijiu unscrupulously. I just think that the Zhang family is really rich - a girl with so good clothes! And it's new at first glance! The material is muslin, too!

He glanced at Zhaoyin again, and saw that Zhaoyin was not dressed as well as Zhang Sijiu, so he pursed his lips without a trace: Isn't it partial to his own family? Zhaoyin was a cow and a horse, why didn't he see a new coat?

This is really a misunderstanding.

CMB also made new clothes this year, but didn't do more, just made one. And Zhang Sijiu not only did it at home, but Mrs. Zhou also gave her materials and clothes, and Xu still felt sorry for Zhang Sijiu, so she made one more piece, so Zhang Sijiu's new clothes were more.

Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the new clothes of Zhaoyin are to be worn until tomorrow. After all, on the thirtieth day, I was cooking and sweeping the yard to change peach charms, so I had a lot of work, and I wore new clothes and got dirty.

Zhaoyin kept guarding the door, and when he heard Zhang Sijiu say this, he didn't let go of his hand, but walked out: "Okay, I'll go back with you for the New Year."

Zhang Sijiu grabbed CMB and said, "Go back for the New Year? Do you have anything for the New Year?"

As soon as Liu Changjin heard this, he was about to speak: "It's—"

"Whether I'm prepared or not, my father told me to go back for the New Year, so I'll go back for the New Year. Jiuniang, go back to dinner. I'm going home for the New Year." Zhaoyin rushed ahead, directly blocked Liu Changjin's words, and even directly closed the door, preventing Zhang Sijiu from giving Liu Changjin a chance to speak.

Zhang Sijiu looked at the closed door and sighed quietly, but according to the meaning of Zhaoyin, he didn't say anything more, let alone chase out.

In fact, I also know that it is impossible for Liu Changjin to prepare anything, and it must be to take advantage of Zhaoyin to go back for the New Year.

So Zhaoyin didn't want to leave just now, but there was really no way, and he was afraid of disturbing their family for the New Year, so he followed Liu Changjin away.

Closing the door again, Zhang Sijiu went back to the hall to eat.

The others saw that only Zhang Sijiu came back, and probably guessed what was going on.

Xu Shi asked angrily, "It was Liu Changjin who knocked on the door just now?" What is he doing here? Are you telling CMB to go back for the New Year?"

Yang picked up the chopsticks again, and although his face was not very happy, he still said, "We can't stop this. That's his daughter, it's a member of his Liu family, if we don't let people go and spread it, we will become mean people. How can anyone stop a family from reuniting?"

Of course, Xu also knew that this was true, but he was not happy in his heart

Although he also picked up the chopsticks, he couldn't help but say, "He didn't feel good. What does he have at home? Do you want to eat or not, do you want to drink or not, what year will it be? I just think that this kid of CMB has a hard life, and he has such a father."

"Who lives and does not suffer?" Yang has lived for most of his life, and this point is still clear: "Each has its own suffering. What to do, what to do. God's arrangement, I can't hide from it."

Zhang Sijiu glanced up at the ancestral ranking resting on the shrine - the two new ones made this year were her father and mother.

I don't know if I think the atmosphere is wrong, the little pumpkin suddenly said "ahh

Xu coaxed two sentences, but the little pumpkin was still unhappy, and even snorted aggrievedly.

She almost doesn't cry when she cries, she just pouts and sheds tears, crying humming, small, not annoying, not noisy, just distressing.

Usually at times like this, no one can refuse her.

Zhang Sijiu felt that this was also the wisdom of a little baby.

For example, now, Xu couldn't help but hug the little pumpkin.

It's also magical, Xu sat at the table with the little pumpkin in his arms, looking at the dishes on the table, the little pumpkin really didn't cry.

But began to secrete saliva like crazy.

After all, she has now begun to eat complementary food, egg yolk rice noodle porridge, and one person can eat half a bowl.

She also already knows that what adults eat is better than milk—

Yes, she is now particularly interested in the food eaten by adults, and when she sees people eating, she wants not to say anything, and although she doesn't make much fuss, she will drool all the time.

The saliva flowed for a long time, and it was also drawn, like silver powder.

Zhang Sijiu calmly looked away and didn't watch his sister's wire drawing performance.

Xu didn't dare to give the little pumpkin, so he just ate it himself and didn't give it to her.

Yang laughed at the little pumpkin: "The little elf, I know that I have eaten, even if I can't eat it, I want to take a look. Isn't it?"

The little pumpkin laughed out of her teeth, her eyes were crooked, and the flesh on her face was even more rare.

I have to say that toothless selling cuteness is really so cute that people can't resist it at all.

The addition of the little pumpkin successfully dispelled the unhappiness brought by CMB being called away, and the family slowly ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

However, Zhang Sijiu didn't forget to put two chopsticks in the Zhaoyin bowl for every dish - nine times out of ten, Zhaoyin had to come back hungry.

Today, each of the dishes made by the Xu family is so large that the family can no longer eat it, and most of every dish is left.

This is also called more than one year in a row - eating today's leftovers tomorrow is also a kind of expectation and good wishes for the future. Because only when you can't eat, drink, or wear in the first year, can you have anything left at home, and you can have a surplus. This means that life is really rich.

After eating, Zhang Sijiu went to wash the dishes, and then went to the Yang family's house to keep the New Year together.
