The red envelopes for the two elders were wrapped for five yuan, and the children's were wrapped for two cents each.

Two more were included.

Lin Jinping came in, saw that she was wrapping the red envelope, and asked, "It's all wrapped?" Remember to leave me some red paper. ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Keep it for you." ”

When this person came back from buying red paper in the morning, he told her that she remembered to keep two red papers. I'll mention it again for fear that she will forget.

She also knew what this person was going to do with two pieces of red paper, so she smiled and didn't poke it.

Zhou Yunmeng told Lin Jinping about the red envelope money for the second elder and the child, and asked him if he could.

Lin Jinping: "Yes, Xiaomeng, you arrange it like this, and we will come back a few times a year in the future, and it is appropriate for the New Year." ”

But in fact, as long as the couple comes back every time, they will stuff some money into their parents, and those who simply honor their fathers and mothers are not counted in the public school, but their father's private money.

After saying goodbye, Lin Jinping went to the bedside to see his daughter.

In the evening, there are five steaming dishes on the table, which are full of color, flavor and taste, and are particularly tempting, as well as a pot of soup.

Mother Lin, sister-in-law Lin and sister-in-law Lin came out with hot dishes and chopsticks, and they were very satisfied when they looked at this table of dishes.

The children gathered around, their faces full of New Year's festivities, waw wow shouted that so many meat dishes were too rich.

The men also came over to prepare for the meal.

Zhou Yunmeng had fed Yiyi dinner earlier and coaxed her to sleep before coming out.

The family will sit down to eat, and each person will have a bowl of white rice boiled in front of them.

As the head of the family, Father Lin said a few words before the meal: "It's the time of the Chinese New Year again, and our family gets together." ”

"There are three things to be happy about this year: first, you are all safe, and the children are growing up healthy for a year; Second, this year's crops are growing well and the harvest is good, and our family's money and grain are still among the best in the team; The third is that there are more Yiyi in the family, and the third daughter-in-law has worked hard. ”

He took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the Lin family also applauded, warm and sincere.

Mother Lin joked: "Okay, old man, it's okay for you to speak tonight, there is a team meeting." ”

Lin Jinping smiled and nodded: "Indeed, what my father said directly summed up the happy events in our family in the past year, like speaking on stage." ”

Second Brother Lin echoed: "Yes, Dad, you are really fantastic, and you are worthy of being the head of the family!" ”

Brother Lin smiled honestly and agreed.

The whole family praised Father Lin's words well.

"Hearing my father's words, I feel that this whole year has been worth it."

"Don't say it, Dad's words make my blood boil, and I will be energetic to work next year!"

"You're amazing!"

Father Lin was embarrassed to be praised, but fortunately, his face was tanned from working in the fields all year round, and he couldn't see the redness.

He coughed lightly and announced that the meal had begun.

Mother Lin smiled and said: "These meals tonight are all discussed and decided by the eldest and second daughter-in-law, so I will help you start." It looks pretty good, and I'm drooling just by looking at it. ”

Sister-in-law Lin said with a smile: "Both of us are based on the dishes that the third brother and sister taught us before, and the second brother and sister have good craftsmanship, and this meal must taste good." ”

Second sister-in-law Lin was modest: "The main thing is that the dishes of the third brother and sister are good, and my sister-in-law and I are each responsible for half of the dishes, and they are very good." ”

Because of the Chinese New Year, her man went to Yunmeng's friend to get meat, and the other party also deliberately took a chicken. I knew that I loved pork ribs, so I also took some pork ribs.

There is more meat at home, so I can afford to arrange so many dishes. Of course, they also prepared enough meat dishes to keep for the New Year's Eve.

You can't eat this meal on Chinese New Year's Eve, and you will be hungry on the first day of the new year, how unlucky.

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Yunmeng laughed with everyone, she really liked such a warm and lively New Year's atmosphere.

Lin Mu clapped the board and said, "Okay, okay, you're all welcome, start eating quickly." ”

Father Lin stretched out the first chopsticks, and the rest of the people also stretched out their chopsticks to grab food.

Tonight there are five dishes, braised pork, garlic pork ribs, stir-fried pork slices with mushrooms, stewed chicken with green onion and ginger, and stir-fried pickled Chinese cabbage with garlic.

In the case of soup, it is black bean sesame bone broth.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was enjoyed by all the adults and children present.

Adults and children have to add rice, even Zhou Yunmeng ate a whole bowl of rice, the most eaten meat dishes are braised pork and garlic pork ribs, and the stewed chicken with green onion and ginger tastes good, she loves to eat.

Pay attention to balanced nutrition, and naturally she also ate a lot of stir-fried pickled Chinese cabbage with garlic.

The pickled Chinese cabbage is a little sour, and the addition of minced garlic seems to have a special taste, which is strange and appetizing.

Chatting while eating, talking and laughing, it's so lively.

Zhou Yunmeng was quite restrained, and the rest of the people ate more. There was only a little left of the five dishes on the dinner table, and that little bit was still to please a favor, so I forcibly endured not eating.

This is the only time of the year that the croppers waste food. There is a small piece of meat left, and a small strip of green vegetables remains, and it looks strange and painful.

Everyone has a bowl of thick black and translucent soup in their bowls, and it is still hot after so long.

But everyone couldn't eat, and they weren't in a hurry to drink soup, so they just sat at the dinner table and chatted.

Zhou Yunmeng and Lin Jinping sat next to each other, she was smiling and listening to Mother Lin's words, and the hand hanging on the side was suddenly wrapped into a thick and warm palm.

She looked at the person beside her, only to see that his eyebrows were picturesque, his hard face softened, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and he looked like he was listening carefully to Mother Lin's speech.

Who would have thought that under the table he quietly took her hand.

Lin Jinping looked over and smiled at her, as if it was just a natural husband and wife looking at each other, and then spoke in response to Father Lin's words.

After a short look at each other, Zhou Yunmeng understood the meaning in his eyes.

Her apricot eyes were slightly bent, and her heart seemed to have eaten popping candy, and the sweetness was overflowing, beating frequently.

Zhou Yunmeng's hand struggled slightly, and the other party probably thought that she didn't like this, so her generous and warm palm loosened her strength and wanted to take it back.

She grabbed the palm of her hand and rubbed it gently, palm to palm, fingers interlocked, tightly sewn, warm and hot tightly together.

Again, the couple casually looked at each other.

- There is no dislike.

- I'm very happy.

The two of them quickly looked away again, and the corners of their mouths were uncontrollably raised.

After talking about it a little bit of stomach, the soup became just the right temperature, and everyone drank this black bean sesame bone broth.

The black beans and sesame seeds are fragrant, and a bowl of soup enters the stomach in winter, which makes people can't help but sigh with satisfaction.

After the soup was drunk, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was over, but it was not over, the adults turned to the hall to sit and chat, and the children played in the yard.

They all took a shower in the afternoon, and they wore their best clothes, and they made a lot of noise.

After a while, Sister-in-law Lin said that she would go to wash the dishes and chopsticks first, and she would have to keep vigil later.

Lin Mu and Zhou Yunmeng also went to help.

This time, Sister-in-law Lin didn't refuse, after all, these are easy jobs. But I only asked Zhou Yunmeng to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, wash the dishes, chopsticks, pots and pans, and they came.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted beside the well in the courtyard.

After washing the dishes, everyone went back to their rooms, and in a blink of an eye, it was the happiest time for the children.

Sister-in-law Lin started and handed a red envelope to Lin's father and mother first.

Father Lin and Mother Lin sat on the chair of the main seat, smiled kindly, and said with relief: "Hey, the eldest daughter-in-law, you have a heart." ”

Sister-in-law Lin then distributed red envelopes to the four children standing in the row.

The children were elated and laughed super sweetly.

"Thank you, mother!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

It was Lin's second sister-in-law's turn to distribute red envelopes, and she was also in-laws first and then children.

Then Zhou Yunmeng distributed red envelopes to Lin's father and mother, as well as the children, wishing the two elders good health and the children growing up healthy.

Father Lin and Mother Lin smiled like Maitreya Buddha: "Hey, good, good!" ”

The children shouted in unison: "Thank you, Aunt San!" ”

Zhou Yunmeng touched the black hair of the camellia, smiled and said to them, "You're welcome. ”

Brother Lin, Second Brother Lin and Lin Jinping sat on the side and looked at their daughter-in-law and children with a smile, cheerful, lively and warm, and their hearts seemed to be filled with something.

Sister-in-law Lin held up the red envelope in her hand and said with a smile: "Third brother and sister, why don't you take Yiyi out, I still want to give this red envelope to her personally." ”

Second sister-in-law Lin also raised the only red envelope left in her hand, and joked: "Yes, I also want to give the red envelope to Yiyi with my own hands, so I won't have to collect it on your behalf." ”

Mother Lin also echoed this time: "Yes, when Yiyi comes out, the children can send red envelopes when they are ready." ”

She and the old man have waited for so long, and they can finally send red envelopes to the third child, and they are excited just thinking about it.

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and responded: "Okay, then I'll go back to the room and take Yiyi out." ”

Seeing that Lin Jinping had already gotten up one step ahead of her, Zhou Yunmeng met his eyes and motioned for him to continue chatting, and went to pick up the child by himself.

There was a kerosene lamp in the room, so that Yiyi would not wake up and see that the room was dark and scared.

The child had been asleep for two or three hours, Zhou Yunmeng walked over, sat on the edge of the bed first, leaned over and patted her little breasts, and coaxed softly: "Yiyi, let's get up first, okay?" Grandma and the two aunts are waiting to give you a red envelope. ”

It is not easy to frighten children after saying hello.

Yiyi's small eyebrows furrowed, his mouth opened and closed again, and the fingers that were loosely clenched into small fists next to his little head moved.

Looks like you're going to wake up. If no one pays attention to her at this point, she may continue to sleep.

Zhou Yunmeng gently picked her up, the child was confused, and obediently let her hold her. After a while, he may be sober, and he struggles a few times to express his displeasure and babble.

This point of getting up is like her.

Zhou Yunmeng hugged Yiyi vertically, put his left hand on the child's knee socket, let her lie in his arms, patted her back with his right hand, and coaxed softly.

"Yiyi is good, the grandmother and the two aunts are waiting for you, and they are going to send you a red envelope, and my brothers and sisters are also waiting for you. Shall we go out? ”

Yiyi: "Ahhhh ”
