Dumplings, also known as Jiao'er, have the meaning of being more old. When people in the capital celebrate the New Year, they all want to eat dumplings.

Jiang Zhixia, who was also a northerner in his previous life, must eat dumplings every New Year's holiday--- even if there is a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, he must eat dumplings.

When you eat dumplings on holidays, what you eat is not food, but feelings.

Jiang Zhixia not only likes to eat dumplings, but also the dumplings are also ingot-shaped. Especially during the Chinese New Year, eating it is like eating all the gold and silver ingots in the stomach.

There are few vegetables in winter, and what can be saved is a hundred vegetables--- that is, Chinese cabbage in the previous life. So, this time it's mainly meat-filled dumplings.

Jiang Zhixia and Aunt Zhang together, one rolled the skin and the other wrapped it.

Xiao Man watched and learned from the side.

Uncle He found a suitable bamboo pole in the yard, hung firecrackers, and waited for the time to be lit at four o'clock.

Chu Tiankuo sat on a stool and watched Zhixia make dumplings. One after another ingots with bulging bellies were lying on the mat.

After wrapping it for a while, Jiang Zhixia asked Xiao Man to wash a few red dates and wash a handful of copper coins.

Zhixia looked at the cleaned copper coin and frowned.

Although these copper coins were specially bought for new casting and had not been used, and they had been washed with flour countless times, Zhixia still felt that there were bacteria in his heart and they were not clean.

However, the customs from ancient times to the present day are like this, and she doesn't have to do the opposite.

Jiang Zhixia wrapped some copper coins in the dumplings, and some wrapped red dates.

"Later, it will depend on whose luck is good enough to eat dumplings wrapped in copper coins and red dates. For those who have eaten, I will give a big red envelope to the girl. Jiang Zhixia said with a smile, then turned his head to Chu Tiankuo and said, "Including you, Brother Chu." If you eat it, I'll give you a red envelope. After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'll wait for your big red envelope." Chu Tiankuo was infected by Zhixia's smile and also smiled.

Seeing that it was almost four o'clock, Aunt Zhang had already cooked the dumplings. Then, a bowl filled with some dumplings was placed on the bench outside.

As soon as the hour arrived, Uncle He lit a firecracker.

In the alley, outside the alley, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.

After the firecrackers were finished, Aunt Zhang picked the dumplings to the ground with chopsticks, and said in a thoughtful voice, "Please eat first." Please all the gods eat first. Please eat first. Please bless you. ”

After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhang and the others brought the plate full of dumplings to the table in the living room of the General Assembly, and then warmed it in a charcoal basin.

When eating dumplings, Jiang Zhixia was the first to eat copper coins.

Everyone wished Jiang Zhixia a prosperous future next year.

Jiang Zhixia listened to everyone's congratulations and smiled from ear to ear. She needs a lot of money. I hope that the jewelry made by her patterns can sell more, sell well, and make a lot of money.

Later, everyone ate dumplings with copper coins or jujubes.

Jiang Zhixia also fulfilled his promise, and everyone gave a red envelope wrapped in various patterns of silver barley.

Chu Tiankuo held the red envelope, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked like he couldn't cry or laugh.

When Aunt Zhang was eating sweet jujube dumplings, she secretly wiped the corners of her eyes, so that she didn't worry about eating, drinking, cold, and freezing.

After eating the dumplings at the time of the child, even if it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year's Eve is over.

Chu Tiankuo wanted to go to live in Chu Mufeng's house next door, and Jiang Zhixia sent him to the door.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Zhixia fixedly and said, "Thank you, Zhixia." This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I had a very happy time. ”

When he had finished speaking, he bowed and left.

Jiang Zhixia was also very sleepy, and called Xiao Man to accompany him back to the backyard to rest.

The next day, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Zhixia got up late, and when he got up, he saw that it was almost time.

Zhixia calculated the time in his heart, it was almost nine o'clock, right?

Looking at the missing moment, Zhixia missed the clock of his previous life very much.

Nowadays, it is too inconvenient to have no clock, and you can't help but convert the time of your previous life at any time. I don't know when clocks will be invented?

Xiao Man heard movement in the bedroom, so he hurried in to serve Zhixia.

Since the last time Zhixia was seriously ill, Uncle He, Aunt Zhang and Xiao Man were all very worried. I always feel that it is because I have not kept adding carbon to the smoker cage, and the smoker is extinguished, which causes Zhixia to catch a cold.

Therefore, Xiao Man insisted on keeping vigil in the Zhixia House, just to be able to add carbon to the smoke cage in the Zhixia House at any time and keep it warm all night.

Zhixia also felt that the weather was too cold, and Xiao Man usually burned a charcoal basin in the house, and the charcoal basin could not be burned all night, and the house was not warm enough, so he agreed to let Xiao Man live in her house, but insisted that she sleep on the beauty couch and was not allowed to sleep on the foot pedal.

After Zhixia finished freshening up, Xiao Man kowtowed to Zhixia in a proper manner, "Happy New Year, girl." I wish the girl all the best in the new year. ”

"Okay, Xiaoman also has a good New Year. I wish Xiaoman a longer and more beautiful new year. Zhixia smiled and handed Xiao Man a red envelope for New Year's greetings.

Xiao Man went to the kitchen to pick up food, and Uncle He and Aunt Zhang heard that Zhixia was up, so they wanted to kneel outside the corner gate and kowtow to Zhixia to greet the New Year.

Zhixia hurriedly stopped them and asked Xiao Man to lead them to the small meeting hall.

Jiang Zhixia sat on the main seat, Uncle He and Aunt Zhang were also in good order, and solemnly kowtowed to Zhixia to greet the New Year, "Happy New Year, girl." I wish the girl a happy new year and no disease. ”

The blessings of these two families are simple and practical.

Jiang Zhixia hurriedly handed over a red envelope by himself, "Uncle He has a good New Year, and he is in good health in the new year." Aunt Zhang has a good New Year, and the new year is getting younger and younger. ”

In this way, after the New Year's greetings, Zhixia ate another dumpling breakfast.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, dumplings are the staple food.

"Xiao Man, bring me my new fox fur cloak. I'll go out to pay New Year's greetings to Brother Chu and Aunt Li. Jiang Zhixia instructed Xiao Man.

The new fox fur cloak was a skin sent by Chu Tiankuo, an expensive white fox fur, and I don't know where I got it.

Jiang Zhixia refused at that time, this is too expensive.

However, her refusal was ineffective.

Because Chu Tiankuo finally went directly to the ready-to-wear store, he asked the family to make a fox fur cloak and give it to Zhixia. also said that Chu Tiankuo and Chu Mufeng have no female relatives. If Zhixia didn't want it, he would have to throw this away.

In this way, Zhixia accepted this expensive fox fur, and still hasn't figured out how to return the gift.

Jiang Zhixia first went to Chu Mufeng's house and gave Chu Tiankuo a New Year's salute. As a result, Chu Tiankuo gave Zhixia a big red envelope.

After paying New Year's greetings to Chu Tiankuo, Jiang Zhixia went to knock on the door of Aunt Li's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Aunt Li had a new daughter-in-law, and it was the time to be happy, so she hurriedly let Zhixia go to the backyard.

Because Wei Zhuxian became a relative and had a daughter, they all moved to live in the backyard. When Zhixia entered, he happened to meet the new daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and Zhixia was busy saluting the New Year. The new daughter-in-law is very shy to return to the New Year.

Aunt Li kept Zhixia in her room to talk, ate some melon seeds and refreshments, and finally happily gave Zhixia a New Year's red envelope.

Jiang Zhixia stayed for a while, then said goodbye and went home. On the way home, Zhixia met many people in the alley again, so they were busy saluting each other.
