Chinese New Year's Eve.

It seems that all the busyness throughout the year is for the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, comfortably snuggling at home for a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The big red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the doors of each house, which makes the whole village particularly dazzling in the snow.

Every family had a luxury on this day, and the oil lamps burned all night.

The Lao Bai family is no exception.

Early in the morning, Bai Muban and his sons cleaned the yard again, hung red lanterns on the trees on the door, and unpacked the long firecrackers.

And the old lady Bai took the female dependents of the family to take stock of the preparations for the ancestor worship in the evening.

I have to say that once the second sister-in-law of the Bai family used her brains to show off work, she did a good job.

This gave her the task of challenging the Bai family to be in charge during the Chinese New Year, but was ruthlessly rejected by Mrs. Bai.

Xie Chuntao has rested for a day and a night, and the affairs of the family are naturally Xie Chuntao.

No, Xie Chuntao tied an apron and went into the kitchen to prepare the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, the steamed pork and steamed dishes are ready, and the dumpling filling is also chopped, so you only need to make some simple side dishes.

In addition, the Bai family men have always had a tradition of entering the kitchen, and the Bai family brothers went into the kitchen under the leadership of Bai Dazhuang to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Bai Dazhuang kneaded the dumpling noodles, Bai Erzhuang burned the fire, and Bai Panmei took a few nephews to pick vegetables and chop vegetables.

And San Lang, the main force who has always dreamed of becoming a cook, wore an apron and circled around Xie Chuntao, actively taking over the work of the eldest aunt, letting the eldest aunt rest, and he was in charge.

"Little Yuanbao, let's try this shawl."

Qiu Niang came out of the room, holding a white wool shawl in her hand.

"Ah, it's so good-looking, it's so soft." Xiao Fuyuan touched the fur collar on the shawl, very happy, the winter shawl padded jacket that Zhen made for her was basically red, Zhen said that the red clothes were festive, just suitable for her to wear at a young age.

Therefore, it was the first time she wore a white shawl, and this shawl was light and warm on her body, and the circle of hair on the collar swept gently and softly on her face.

She loved it.

"Thank you, Sister Qiu." Xiao Fuyuan said happily.

"This big wool material is not cheap, why are you breaking the bank?" Zhen knew the goods and saw the value of this dress at a glance.

"Auntie, this material was given to the old lady of the Zheng family last time I went to Huaicheng, and the old lady Zheng rewarded it."

The Zheng family and the Zhou family are tied Huaicheng clans.

Last time I went to Zhou's mansion to attend Mrs. Zhou's birthday banquet, Zhen met Mrs. Zheng, who was a kind old man. She believes in Buddhism, and when she saw the Buddha statue that the Bai family gave to Mrs. Zhou at Zhou's house, she seemed to be happy in her heart, and she turned to the Bai family embroidery workshop to get in touch.

Qiu Niang's craftsmanship was naturally appreciated by Mrs. Zheng.

"If you are rewarded, you will keep it for yourself next time." Zhen said.

Qiu Niang's clothes are too plain, even if she is under the age, she only has a flower on her head.

"Auntie, I'll go to the kitchen to help my sister-in-law prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Qiu Niang said instead.

"You have been busy for a year, take a break, and have your eldest brother and them for Chinese New Year's Eve." Zhen hurriedly stopped Qiu Niang.

The embroidery workshop took on several big jobs a few years ago, and Qiu Niang took the embroidery girls to work until the twenty-ninth year, which is tired enough, how can she be busy with Chinese New Year's Eve dinner again.

"If you can't be idle, you can go to your Aunt Hu's house for me." The old lady carried a basket with steamed buns, several large bowls of steamed meat, fried fruits, peanuts and melon seeds, and two fish.

Mrs. Hu was busy in the embroidery workshop until the twenty-ninth year, and Mrs. Bai was worried that her Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was not prepared neatly,

"Okay." Qiu Niang took the basket.

"I'm with Sister Qiu." Xiao Fuyuan said that she mainly wanted to show off in the village in a white shawl.

The mansion opposite the old Bai family.

At this time, He Shun regretted very much that he let Wu Xiaoying follow General Meng to the border.

Without Wu Xiaoying's commotion, the whole mansion looked very cold.

Listening to the lively sounds from every household in Shenshu Village, especially the voices of the old Bai family opposite, He Shun fell into regret.

"Uncle He, this is the menu for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, take a look at it again, is there anything else to add?" Liu walked in and handed He Shun a menu.

In fact, He Shun had already nodded his head on this menu, and Liu Yishou came to ask He Shun's opinion, mainly in the hope of changing the law in the hope of getting the young master's opinion on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

"Young Master, do you have anything you particularly want to eat tonight?" He Shun didn't look at the list, and asked Ah Zhen with a smile on his face.

"Nope." Ah Zhen said.

He Shun glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "Just prepare something for the young master, KFC's egg tart." ”

Liu Yishou muttered in his heart, what is this for the young master, isn't this Laoshizi KFC egg tart invented by Xiao Fuyuan?

Yes, let him prepare, and he will prepare.

After Liu Yishou left, He Shun asked Ah Zhen with a smile: "The village has hung red lanterns, let's hang them too?" There are also fireworks prepared, and Xiao Yuanbao has not seen the fireworks in the capital yet. ”

Ah Zhen pursed his lips and did not speak.

He Shun knew what kind of temper he was making.

Even if he was sent here by the emperor, he was still rewarded by the emperor last year, but not this year.

It's already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and today there is not, and it is estimated that there will be none.

What does it mean that the prince of the middle palace has lost his Sacred Heart?

He Shun doesn't have to think about it to know.

"I'll go out for a walk."

Ah Zhen got up, put on his thick clothes, and walked out the door.

"Brother Zhen." Xiao Fuyuan saw Ah Zhen stepping out of the courtyard door and shouted.

"Where are you going?" Ah Zhen asked.

"Go to Aunt Hu's house, let's go together."

Ah Zhen walked down the steps and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Fuyuan, and the two pairs of small hands pulled together.

Both of them wore the same large white wool shawl, with a fur hat on the shawl, revealing a pair of black eyes and delicate little faces.

Walking on the village road, the villagers I met praised them and said that they were a pair of sisters.

Ah Zhen's face darkened.

"Brother Ah Zhen, you have to be happy, today is Chinese New Year's Eve." Xiao Fuyuan noticed Ah Zhen's bad mood.

"Okay." Ah Zhen was sullen.

"You come to my house today for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Xiao Fuyuan sent an invitation to Ah Zhen.

No way, children who don't have their parents by their side have to celebrate the festival by themselves during the New Year, it's so pitiful!

"Okay." Ah Zhen agreed with a smile, and said, "Have you ever seen the fireworks?" I have a lot of beautiful fireworks, and I will bring them to your house at night. ”

"Great." Xiao Fuyuan smiled happily.

After eating dumplings, setting off fireworks, and being happy just thinking about it.

When she arrived at Aunt Hu's house, Aunt Hu saw that Xiao Fuyuan and Ah Zhen were cute and tight, so she grabbed the two of them, grabbed the melon seeds and took the fruits, and left the two of them until almost dusk before going back.

Xiao Fuyuan followed Ah Zhen to the mansion to get fireworks.

When Ah Zhen arrived home, he saw He Shun's slightly frowning brows, and he felt a moment of loss in his heart.

Yes, I'm afraid that my father's gift will never be able to reach Shenshu Village in the future.

The wind blew up the snow foam, and Ah Zhen only felt chills all over his body.

"Young master, it has snowed heavily this year, maybe the giver of the gift has been delayed on the road." He Shun comforted him.

"It's okay, anyway, the gifts are all I don't like, and he didn't prepare them himself, it's just a routine. I'm going to my sister's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight. Ah Zhen said lightly.

"Brother Ah Zhen, you don't have to be sad, I'll give you a gift." Xiao Fuyuan comforted Ah Zhen.
