Chapter 356 [Lively Swan Castle]
Early in the morning, an old Chinese friend of my mother came to Swan Castle, where the Yang family lived, why did she come? Measure the body of the whole family and prepare to make red Tang costumes, which is the Yang family's reserved program for the Spring Festival every year.
Since Yang Nianzhong was three years old, every year during the Spring Festival, my mother will make a small Tang costume for herself, and the red one is particularly festive.
This year's Spring Festival is more commemorative, but when measuring the size, Anne's mood is a little low, because her belly is too big, and no matter what clothes she wears, she doesn't look good.
It just made Aimei's Anne feel very depressed, but when she thought that the baby in her belly was the hope of the whole Yang family and the heir of the Yang family, her mood suddenly improved.
Swan Castle, which had just sent the tailor away from the Yang family, welcomed a large number of guests, and the first to come to the Yang family, Swan Castle was Anne's parents, because Anne's parents only had a daughter like Anne.
Although the Spring Festival is not the traditional festival of their Germanic people, the daughter's family pays attention to a reunion during the Spring Festival, and the old couple has nothing to do at home and runs to the daughter's house, which is lively and lively.
Annie's parents are not very old, Lisa can help her mother deal with some ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Annie's father follows Yang Nianzhong and drives to paste window flowers on all the doors and windows in the house.
The next day, Griffin welcomed Griffin as a guest in the house, and Griffin not only brought his youngest daughter this time, but also brought his eldest daughter and second daughter.
This is also Griffin's, the eldest daughter and the second daughter really learned about the family situation of her father's girlfriend Aunt Yang Lan, and it was also the first time she had contact with the Yang family. The extravagant life of the Yang family was shocked all of a sudden, especially the appearance of the Swan Castle, no matter which girl saw it, she would be relaxed.
Anyway, there are rooms in the house, isn't it lively when there are more people during the New Year? What's more, they are all a family, there are many people who work and few people, there are so many people to help, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner prepared by the Yang family is even more sumptuous, and two days later, it will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
This Chinese New Year's Eve, that is calculated according to the time of Huaxia, so at 6 o'clock in the morning, the people of the Yang family got up from the bed and dressed neatly.
The men came to the kitchen under the leadership of Yang Nianzhong, the dumplings should be chopped, the noodles should be made, because John, the stupid boy, had the most strength, so the task of making noodles was handed over to John.
Yang Nianzhong was neatly dressed and wearing a chef's hat on his head, and two kitchen knives were flying up and down, chopping dumpling filling, which made Griffin and Anne's father, who were helping on the side, feel very surprised.
Asked Yang Nianzhong that there was a meat grinder in his house, why did he use a kitchen knife to chop the meat filling? But when the two of them ate the dumplings, they finally knew why they didn't use modern tools, but took the most primitive way to make dumpling filling, which was so delicious.
The meat is full and juicy, much better than the meat grinder that is made, Yang Nianzhong and the men are busy in the kitchen. Mom hurriedly ran in and greeted Yang Nianzhong and John Anne's father, Griffin, what are the four men doing back on the sofa? New Year's Gala broadcast on Chinese International Channel.
Eating and drinking while watching the show, but so many people came out, outside of Yang Nianzhong's family, only Anne and John knew what those Chinese actors on TV were babbling, singing and dancing.
Especially when I saw the sketch and cross talk, Yang Nianzhong's family smiled and leaned back together, but this group of people was at a loss, staring at a pair of eyes at a loss for what to do, and it was very cute.
Because they couldn't read and couldn't understand, which was obviously very embarrassing, and in the end Anne acted as a translator for her parents, Yang Nianzhong acted as a translator for the Griffins, and John added on the side.
After more than an hour, the whole family put the dumpling filling and dumpling skin on the coffee table in the living room, making dumplings while watching TV programs.
My mother also made a few coins and wrapped them in dumplings, because there are many men and women, and some old and young like to eat dumpling filling, which is also divided into different flavors.
For example, leek eggs, three fresh fillings, beef and radish fillings, mutton fillings, and even vegan ones, each dumpling has a coin in it, and whoever eats it is the most blessed person of the year.
As soon as the dumplings were wrapped, his mother Yang Lan's favorite sketch actor Mr. Zhao came out, and the whole family began to watch Mr. Zhao's sketch planning attentively.
Because of the bloody case caused by a rooster, how was it resolved by the witty and humorous Zhao Benshan, especially the partnership between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Song, it was really good, it was seamless.
When it was close to noon, it was exactly midnight in China, and the whole family began to cook dumplings and eat dumplings. Then Yang Nianzhong and John lit a 100,000-ring firecracker, although it was broad daylight, and it was still noon, but in order to observe the time of Huaxia, they also came to a ceremony to receive the gods, and took the gods to the house to eat dumplings.
Of course, this is just a ritualized form, after a busy morning, I finally ate delicious dumplings, everyone has their favorite dumpling filling, Yang Nianzhong likes to eat mutton and green onion stuffed dumplings, but I didn't expect to bite the coin in one bite, and almost bit out a gap in my teeth.
Yang Nianzhong's painful tears were almost down, although he almost didn't break his teeth, but Yang Nianzhong was actually the most blessed one in the whole family. Because he ate the first dumpling, he ate the coin, and it was a one-dollar coin, which was also the most valuable of the coins.
Ouch put Yang Nianzhong, happily, holding the coin while covering his teeth, and turned around the dining table at home three times, showing everyone his most blessed coin. As soon as they saw Yang Nianzhong's stinky fart, everyone was very dissatisfied that there was nothing good to do, so they let Yang Nianzhong take it alone, and began to eat dumplings in a big gulp.
is particularly interesting, that is Griffin's daughter Elena, this little girl is exactly 15 years old this year, and she may be in adolescence and likes to compete with Yang Nianzhong's brother. Because the little girl wants to maintain her devilish figure, and she eats dumplings with meat filling, if she finishes eating a plate of dumplings, then this month's weight loss plan is completely lost.
So this girl didn't dare to eat more, but she didn't dare to eat more and didn't want Yang Nianzhong to compare herself, so she bit all her dumplings in half, and he thought that he would occupy the second place share by doing so.
But I didn't expect the second person to eat the coin was Anne, he ate the third dumpling and ate the coin, fortunately the bite was very light, and it didn't hurt his teeth.
And Anne, who ate the coin, was so happy that she was like a child who had won the lottery and began to high-five Yang Nianzhong to celebrate, and more than a dozen people in the family ate dumplings. More than a dozen coins were wrapped in dumplings, but Yang Nianzhong and Annie, the couple, ate the coins one after the other, don't you think it's a strange thing? Others can't envy it.
