The two families celebrate the New Year together
When Shen Yuanqiao and Yangmei got up on the morning of the New Year, Shen Aiguo had already set off to Yang Shu's house first, and when Yangmei and Shen Yuanqiao arrived, Yang's mother had already poured the noodles into the bowl and poured pork leg soup, and the glutinous rice was also boiled in the pot Huang Cancan, seeing that the two of them were coming, Yang Ma directly handed the bowl to them, everyone was sucking and eating, only Shen Shengnan was still feeding the child, Yangmei's little nephew was already able to eat, Yang's mother was feeding while eating, the little niece was not weaned yet, Shen Shengnan could only coax the daughter to feed first.
Seeing this, Yangmei sped up, and after eating, she quickly took over the coaxing of her little niece, so that her sister-in-law could free her hands to eat.
After breakfast, Shen Yuanqiao and Yang Mei were responsible for watching the two children, Yang Ma and Shen Shengnan were responsible for preparing the New Year's dinner, as for Shen Aiguo and Yang Dad, Yang Shu were sitting by the stove and playing poker, originally going to pull Shen Yuanqiao together, but Yang Mei couldn't watch the two children alone, not to mention that one of the two children had to be held all the time, and the other liked to run around, so Shen Yuanqiao had to go into battle, anyway, he should practice in advance, and he was also very happy.
Yang Ma not only made chicken, duck, fish and other dishes, but also fried sweet potato balls, vegetable balls, and spring rolls, plus boiled white fungus and red date soup, steamed red bean buns and dried vegetable buns, a full table can not be placed, so I had to requisition the coffee table that usually puts teacups, the two families sat together and ate in full swing, Yangmei helped her sister-in-law and mother take care of the little nephews and nieces together, Yang Dad and Shen Aiguo led Yang Shu and Shen Yuanqiao two juniors to drink soju, one by one, red ears and red ears, drank very happily, Yang Mei knew that her father and her brother would drink some wine, she didn't expect Shen Yuanqiao to drink, Shen Aiguo is a businessman after all, Usually inviting guests to dinner is definitely indispensable, but this Shen Yuanqiao actually drinks alcohol, she has never seen him drink, and she thought he wouldn't drink.
After eating for almost two hours, the New Year's dinner finally came to an end, Dad Yang and Shen Aiguo drank a little too much, Yang Shu and Shen Yuanqiao were fine, but their faces were a little red.
Yangmei helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Shengnan coaxed the children to sleep, and the two little dolls had to sleep for a while every day, just so that the adults could rest for a while.
Shen Aiguo and Shen Yuanqiao went back after eating, they still have something to do in the afternoon, although they didn't eat the New Year's dinner at home, but the rules that should be observed are not less, Yangmei stayed and made dumplings with Yang's mother, she hasn't celebrated the New Year with her parents for two years, this year is naturally very happy, a piece of dumplings is fast, when the time comes, take a little and go back tomorrow morning to eat, save her to go back at night to re-mix.
It's still snowing outside, and I believe that next year will be another good year, and although I don't farm anymore, I still hope that next year's rain will be good and the crops will have a good harvest.
By the time the sister-in-law and mother-in-law had wrapped the dumplings, it was already dark, and Yang Shu had returned to his hometown to post couplets and now he had returned, so Yangmei no longer stayed, took some dumplings and went back to Shen's house, Yangmei took the dumplings to the kitchen and put them away and came out to sit next to him, the two watched TV together, and Shen Aiguo didn't get up until eight or nine o'clock in the night.
The sour rice wine is put on the sugar to become sweet and sour, and it tastes very delicious, which is also Yangmei's favorite food, since she brought such food to the Shen family, she was warmly welcomed by Shen Aiguo and Shen Yuanqiao, so the three of them ate full on New Year's Eve.
On the first day of the next day, Yangmei got up to pay a New Year's greeting to Sheng Aiguo and took a red envelope, and then put down the dumplings that she brought back yesterday.
Yangmei still wore a newly bought pink coat today, with two sweaters inside, there was no way to make the coat warm without a jacket, fortunately, she was thin, otherwise she wouldn't be able to wear a few clothes inside, wearing black leggings and small red leather shoes, the whole person was fashionable and beautiful, I have to say that Shen Yuanqiao's vision is getting better and better, and this body was bought and brought back from Z City.
When I arrived at Yang's house, Yang's mother and Yang's mother were still eating dumplings, and there were children at home, and adults always had to revolve around the children, so they naturally couldn't do things quickly.
Yang Mei and Shen Yuanqiao bowed to the New Year when they entered the door, said some auspicious words, and received a few red envelopes, of course, she and Shen Yuanqiao also sent red envelopes to their little nephews and nieces.
The Yang family is going back to their hometown today to pay New Year's greetings, although they have moved to the county seat, but the relatives are still in the village, the New Year must be going back to pay New Year's greetings, Yangmei said to Yang's mother yesterday that she will go back to the New Year with a piece today, she did not go back to the New Year last year and the year before last, and she also plans to take the opportunity to go to Zhang Lanlan's house to walk around, Zhang Lanlan's second brother got married in the year, when Zhang Lanlan let Yangmei go to play Yangmei together, she couldn't go away at that time, and Zhang Lanlan called Zhang Lanlan two days ago, Zhang Lanlan asked Yangmei to go to her house to see her new sister-in-law, this time Yangmei is not going to shirk anymore, just take the opportunity to go back to the New Year's greetings to see。
So Shen Yuanqiao went back to the Shen family alone for the New Year, and he also had to entertain the people who went to his house to pay New Year's greetings, and the Yang family directly locked the door, and the whole family went back to their hometown.
It was almost ten o'clock in the village, Yang's mother stayed at home to clean up, Yang's father led the large and small families to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings, at noon the Yang family discussed not to return to the county today, and tomorrow there are a few relatives who live far away to go to pay New Year's greetings, so Yang Mei went to Zhang Lanlan's house alone, she planned to play with Zhang Lanlan in the afternoon, and returned to the county in the evening.
When she arrived in the town, she first bought a box of drinks at the commissary and carried them before walking to Zhang's house. Because she had made an appointment before, Zhang Lanlan didn't go out to wait for her at home, when she arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Lanlan's family was at home, Yangmei sweetly worshiped her first and then went to her room to play with Zhang Lanlan, the two didn't see each other for more than a week, and they didn't miss anything, but they just talked about some New Year's things together, including Zhang Lanlan's new second sister-in-law, and they discussed it messily, and they were still very happy, Yangmei also brought Zhang Lanlan some chocolates from the Shen family, this thing is very expensive, and only Shen Yuanqiao is willing to buy it for her, Zhang Lanlan's family naturally won't buy these expensive and unreal things, in view of the fact that good girlfriends naturally want to share delicious food, so Yangmei brought her some, girls can't refuse delicious food, Yangmei and Zhang Lanlan are no exception, Zhang Lanlan picked out the delicious food at home and ate with Yangmei, her second sister-in-law is not a local, and the marriage Hou brought a lot of specialties from her family to Zhang's family, Zhang Lanlan and her mother have been hiding it before, this is still yesterday's New Year, and everyone took it out to eat together, Zhang Lanlan took the opportunity to hide a little bit and waited for the start of school to bring Yangmei to eat, now Yangmei does not have to wait for the start of school, you can eat it now.
The two were eating and talking, and before they knew it, it was dark, and Yangmei said goodbye to the Zhang family and took the last bus back to the county seat.
After the New Year, Yangmei is already the last semester of high school, and she is about to take the college entrance examination, so she and Zhang Lanlan have devoted their whole body and mind to studying, while the Yang family and the Shen family are busy, this year Yangmei is 18 years old, according to the agreement at the time of the engagement, the marriage between Yangmei and Shen Yuanqiao will be done this year, Yangmei is busy studying every day, and she has long forgotten about it, but Shen Yuanqiao has not forgotten, what was he busy for a year last year?
Isn't it just to be able to free up time this year to marry the little daughter-in-law into the door and have a baby? So Yang Mei didn't know anything here, thinking about the college entrance examination with all her heart, and Shen Yuanqiao over there had already cooperated with the Yang family to get up.
Yang Mei wants to marry naturally from her hometown, so Yang Dad and Yang Ma took the time to go back to their hometown to tidy up the house, Zhang Luo booked a banquet, asked Mr. to see the day, they also had to prepare a dowry for Yangmei, Yangmei This is a high marriage, and the Shen family is a rich family, this dowry naturally cannot be like the dowry of those girls in the village, but his family is not as generous as the Shen family when he married Shen Shengnan, so Yang's father and Yang's mother also have a headache, fortunately, the Shen family also understands the situation of the Yang family, Shen Aiguo does not pay attention to these, for him, Yangmei's daughter-in-law is still quite good, she is sensible and capable, even if she doesn't have a dowry, it doesn't matter, and Shen Yuanqiao took into account that after getting married, he must have taken Yangmei to live in Z City's home, there is nothing lacking in the family here, what does the dowry mean, and finally the two families discussed the dowry and asked Yang Dad to find someone to make a new set of cabinets, anyway, Yang Shu is a timber business, and there is no good wood, and then make a wooden cradle and wooden chair for children, there is no selling these in the city, only those old carpenters will make these things, Yang Ma made a few quilts with cotton for Yangmei, thick and thin, compared to the silk cotton quilts sold outside, Yangmei prefers quilts made of cotton, you must know that the winter in Z City is very cold, and the quilt is more practical and can be taken away。
Compared with the various preparations on the Yang family's side, the Shen family's side is better, the house does not need to be repainted, as long as it is tidied up a little, the banquet is arranged directly in his own hotel, what Shen Aiguo has to do is to write an invitation, after all, he has a lot of people, not only the relatives of the Shen family, but more importantly, the business partners and the contacts accumulated in the county for so many years, this is not only a son to get married, but also an important opportunity to introduce his son to his friends.
Shen Yuanqiao is responsible for some details of preparation, including his and Yangmei's wedding clothes, Yangmei's headdress, ceremonial shoes, including bouquets, he is all ready, the most important moment in his life, and he has been looking forward to it for so long, he will never allow a little mistake.
