Chapter 9 Chinese New Year

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve (also known as the Chinese New Year's Eve), the last day of the year, the day of the end of the month. As the saying goes, "Thirty years are over." ”

Everyone in the Yun family got up early and started cleaning in front of and behind the house, inside and outside the house, and even the corners were cleaned.

The windows were re-pasted with window paper and pasted with bright red curtains. At the beginning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household posted couplets to welcome the door god, and the house hung New Year paintings, and the taste of the year came all at once.

"Third brother, you are up at the right time, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I need a few couplets to paste the door of our house, I am ready for the red paper, just waiting for you to write"

"Big brother, you let Yunbei write, such a good opportunity, don't be mixed with being an uncle, this is for my nephew, write a pair to join forces to capture, by the way, big brother, is my niece awake? I didn't hold enough yesterday. ”

"Your niece hasn't gotten up yet, don't disturb my family's Fuya sleeping."

"Dad, I'll write it, let the uncle rest, my son is a junior, and it should be so."

"Look, my second nephew is good, considerate uncle, hehe, what's that, nephew, you write slowly, I'll go see if my niece is awake."

After speaking, without waiting for Yunyi Yunbei's reply, he went to the stove room to find his sister-in-law.

Yun Yi shook his head helplessly, and instructed Yun Bei beside him: "Xiaobei, you come and write a few couplets, and your mother will make a paste later, and paste the door in the yard." ”

"Okay, Dad."

After the words were closed, Yunbei immediately took the brush in his father's hand, picked up the red paper and walked to the square table in the courtyard.

Pick up the pen to write, only to see a hand on the red paper with an iron painting silver hook, the font is vigorous and powerful, a stroke down, look at it as if the horse is out of the air and the dust is gone.

I saw that the red paper read, "Sanyang Qitai is happy in the world, and the five blessings are coming to the door and the earth is spring," and the horizontal batch of "Wuhua Tianbao"

"Not bad, not bad, the meaning is good, the words are good, Xiaobei is getting bigger and bigger."

Old man Yun also came out at some point, and when he saw Yunbei writing a couplet, he was pleased.

"Master, you have won the prize, and your grandson still needs to practice more."

Old Man Yun stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"I haven't read for many years, so don't put your scholar's score, hurry up and help." Mrs. Zhao's voice came from behind, directly revealing the shortcomings of the old man Yun.

"Hey, you old woman, I'll see if it's okay." Old man Yun followed Mrs. Zhao with an arrogant face.

After Yunbei finished speaking, he then wrote a few couplets, wrote them well, put down the pen, and waited for the handwriting to dry, just as Li Wanrou also took out the boiled paste, followed by Yuntian who wanted to see Yunxi.

Yun Yi saw the third brother following his daughter-in-law, and kept asking his daughter-in-law to go back to the room to see if Yunxi was awake, and immediately looked at his third brother unhappily.

It just so happened that the couplet was written, and let the third brother go and post it, and the province followed his daughter-in-law.

"Third brother, don't follow your sister-in-law, let your sister-in-law see if Yunxi is awake later, hurry up and take the paste in your sister-in-law's hand, let's go and paste the couplet."

didn't wait for Yuntian to answer, pulled Yuntian over, took the paste from Li Wanrou's hand, and asked Yunbei to take the couplet and paste the couplet.

In the house, Yunxi woke up at this time and was lying on the kang with his feet in his arms. The winter in the north is relatively cold, every household in Yunjia Village sleeps on the kang, and the kang is heated at night, and the bed will be hot for a while, Yunxi is not cold at all, the only thing that makes her more embarrassed is that the baby's body instinct can't be controlled, at this time, her little feet are not far from Yunxi's small mouth.

Yunxi's mood is loveless, fortunately, fortunately, at the moment when she was about to put her feet in her mouth, Li Wanrou entered the house.

When Li Wanrou entered the bedroom, she saw the white and tender Yunxi holding her little feet and sending them to her mouth, and she was suddenly touched by her daughter's cute little appearance.

Poof, Li Wanrou chuckled softly.

"Oh, my girl is so cute." Li Wanrou's speech picked Yunxi up from the kang.

At this time, Yunxi had already blushed with shame from his mother's laughter, and buried his little face in Li Wanrou's arms.

"Why don't you call your mother?" Li Wanrou looked at her daughter who was blushing by her laughter, and stopped teasing Yunxi.

Yunxi came out of Li Wanrou's arms and said to Li Wanrou:

"Babble, babble," he replied. (Translation: "Mother, I called you, you didn't hear it") doesn't matter if Li Wanrou understands it or not, anyway, I understand.

Li Wanrou heard her daughter's babbling, but she didn't take it seriously, and after putting Yunxi back on the kang, she took out a small jacket made of pink muslin from the kang cabinet, dressed Yunxi, and after cleaning up, she went out of the room with Yunxi in her arms.

Outside the house, the couplets had been pasted, the meal was ready, and Old Man Yun and Mrs. Zhao gathered their families together.

In front of the main house, the table is set up to worship the ancestors, and the ancestors are bowed three times and nine times to express gratitude to the gods and ancestors for their blessings, and to pray for more blessings in the New Year.

After the ceremony, after everyone finished eating the dumplings, the men continued their work, and the women prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

Yuntian hugged Yunxi to play. (Yuntian: "I finally got my cute little niece.") ”)

Yunxi: ......

……

At night, the Yun family sat in the hall, Yunxi's eldest brother Yunnan also returned, and Yunxi saw his eldest brother for the first time.

Dressed in a violet cotton coat, his hair is tied up with a wooden hairpin, his facial features are upright, his eyebrows are thick, his eyes are big, he has a smile on his face, and he looks kind, but he occasionally reveals the shrewdness in his eyes, which cannot be ignored.

Yunxi also received a gift from his eldest brother, a silver longevity lock, although it is not big, but the workmanship is particularly exquisite, and Yunnan directly put it on his sister.

Yunxi also smiled sweetly at his eldest brother very happily.

Yunnan was immediately captured by his sister's smile.

The crowd took their seats. There is a large pot of stewed braised pork with a bright red color on the table, and I know that it must be delicious before I eat it.

Stewed chicken with winter melon, fried winter bamboo shoots with slices of meat, four cold side dishes, fried tofu (菘: cabbage), sour soup meatballs, braised fish are a total of ten dishes, meaning perfect. Each dish is full of portions, and there is still quite a lot left.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, our children are here, this year's days are not bad, Yuntian Yunbei has achieved academic success, next year will be over, the old people are happy to have a little girl this year, the days are getting more and more hopeful, Yunnan this account room is also good, do a good job next year, don't say anything superfluous, open dinner."

The head of the Yun family concluded his speech.

"Dad, my son toasts you, it is all the leadership of my father and mother, and our family can get better and better." Yun Yi first said to Old Man Yun.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for my father's mother's open-mindedness, our family might have become." Yun Bo also followed Yun Yi's words and echoed it innocently.

"Grandma is good, better than Grandma Zhaodi, Grandma Zhaodi doesn't like female dolls." Erya's cute little voice said something from her heart.

"Grandpa, grandma is the best, better than the grandma of the Tie Dan family, they envy me."

……

The Yun family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended in this laughter, the adults kept the year and kept the year, cleaned up the dinner table, Yunxi couldn't withstand the child's body, and fell asleep early.

Happy and happy again.
