Chapter 69: New Year’s greeting incident
Amid the expectations of a few little people, the new year finally ushered in. No one was sleeping. After twelve o'clock, they started to put the table and hold the bowls and plates.
Zhang Yuan didn't go back, and kept playing and chatting with a few people at home.
Now that I am helping Bai Ruxue hold the plate.
Chef Bai Ruxue prepared eight hard dishes, meaning Fafa.
Chicken, duck, fish, pork, pork ribs and sausages are all available, with meat and vegetables, and three ingredients are added.
Because everyone had been eating too greasy on this day, mainly because she couldn't stand it anymore, so she added a cold dish with three shreds of cold dishes.
Shredded radish and shredded cabbage, and then took out the black fungus from the supermarket soaked and cut it into shreds, put it on garlic paste, chili oil and soy sauce, and some cold seasonings secretly taken out from the supermarket. It was so sour and spicy that it was particularly greasy, and it was loved by everyone at once.
"Hurry! It's ready! It's going to send red envelopes!" Bai Ruxue put all the dishes on the table, brought all the steamed dumplings with cabbage and pork filling, and invited everyone to serve.
"Sister, do you have red envelopes?" Bai Ruyun asked with his eyes glowing.
"Of course there is! We didn't have that condition before, but now we have it, New Year's money must be given to children during the New Year, which means that it can ward off evil spirits and exorcises, protect them from safety, and suppress evil spirits. Children can spend one year safely after getting New Year's money." Bai Ruxue said seriously and took out six red envelopes from her clothes pocket.
The red envelopes were taken out of the supermarket and were also taken at wedding supplies. The word "Fu" was made of gold-plated, which was very exquisite, and in this era it looked so exquisite.
She put a dollar in each red envelope. Although she was a household in 10,000 yuan and a rich woman, she actually found six yuan for a long time to find change.
She originally wanted to put ten dollars in, but it was too much. They were all children and could not spoil it like this. Ten dollars was the income of a strong laborer for nearly a month. So she put one dollar in each place, but one dollar was also a lot.
"Give it! Everyone has it!" Bai Ruxue sent it one by one.
"This is Xiaocai's! This is Xiaofeng's!" Even Bai Rucai and Bai Rufeng had a share! Put it in their arms.
"Thank you sister! I wish you a new year and a new atmosphere, and your youth will last forever! You will always smile!" The other few people who received the red envelopes were busy opening them, while Bai Rushan took the red envelopes and threw the blessing words out one by one.
"Be good!" Bai Ruxue touched her brother's head.
"Xiaoxue...My parents have never given New Year's money, and they don't know that New Year's money has such meanings, so..." Wang Cuihua looked at the children who were jumping happily. They were originally prepared for them, but they actually wanted their eldest daughter to do all this for them.
"Xiaoxue, come on! Dad gave you the New Year's money! You sent the other ones, Dad won't give it! This is yours!" Bai Daliang took ten dollars and handed it to Bai Ruxue while Wang Cuihua spoke.
"Thank you dad! I'm not polite!" Bai Ruxue took the money and smiled happily.
In fact, this is also the one hundred yuan she gave before, so she kept holding the white grain and was reluctant to take it out and spend a penny.
"Don't be polite! Why are you polite to dad? I hope my daughter can be safe and healthy in the new year!" Bai Daliang said, and gave Zhang Yuan another ten yuan. "Xiaoyuan! This is your New Year's money! You can't go back to celebrate the New Year with your parents, but it doesn't matter. A son-in-law, half a son, will treat this as your home!"
"Thank you uncle!" Zhang Yuan was surprised, but immediately took the money with a smile. This was a symbol of his father-in-law's recognition. A son-in-law is half a son, which means that they have long regarded him as a family! How can they be unhappy?
The young people were not jealous of seeing that the elder sister and brother-in-law received so much New Year’s money, because they had a lot of money in their hands.
"Okay, okay! Put the money away and eat! The dumplings are going to be cold!" Wang Cuihua smiled and asked the few people to sit down for dinner.
The two babies were sleeping on the side, very well-behaved.
A newborn child is not only sleeping, but also sleeping, and it is very worry-free after eating.
This reunion dinner made everyone last until they were over.
People who were overeating couldn't sleep, so they continued chatting and playing, and didn't sleep all night, which was called "Shouqing".
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, groups of children were running around to greet New Year before dawn.
At this time, the children were very happy during the New Year. They could eat some candies and melon seeds that they could not usually eat. The whole village did not miss them. They went to greet the New Year from house to house just to get the handful of melon seeds or popcorn.
Bai Daliang's family was no exception. All four little ones ran out to pay New Year's greetings, leaving only Bai Ruxue at home and stayed with her parents. She didn't sleep all night. She wanted to have a sleep, but Wang Cuihua refused to let her sleep and said that she would sleep during the day on the first day of the Lunar New Year and was not energetic for the whole year.
Not long after, the three children of the second uncle's family, Bai Rumei, Bai Ruyang and Bai Ruyue, came to pay New Year's greetings.
"Greetings to my uncle and aunt!" Bai Rumei took the lead and knelt down and kowtowed! The three of them kowtowed.
"Good boy, get up quickly! Get up!" Wang Cuihua smiled and went downstairs to help the children up, and another one stuffed a handful of candy and a handful of peanuts!
"Thank you, uncle!" Bai Ruyue was more lively than her brother and sister. She quickly smiled and thanked her. Her two little tiger teeth were exposed, so cute.
"Then we're leaving! We're going to another family to pay New Year's greetings!" Bai Rumei happily grabbed candy and peanuts. This was something she had never got before. Which family could give so much? The first one of them to come to my uncle's house was really profitable.
"Okay! Run slowly! Don't fall!" Wang Cuihua likes the three children of the second brother's family very much. They are well-behaved, sensible and polite! Unlike the three children of the third brother's family, they are obedient, domineering and despicable.
"Xiaomei, Xiaoyang, Xiaoyue! Put candies and peanuts in your pockets! My sister will give you good things!" Bai Ruxue walked in with a smile, holding three big red apples and three big oranges in her arms.
"Wow, is it Apple? Sister?" Bai Ruyue narrowed her eyes happily when she saw Apple's eyes glowing.
"Yes! Put the candy on your hands quickly!" Bai Ruxue urged the three of them!
When they put all the peanuts and candies on their hands into their pockets, each of them gave them a big apple and a big orange.
The three of them were so happy that they said thank you repeatedly and left jumping away.
Bai Daliang kept sitting on the kang and smiling. This kind of life was so good! I had enough food and drank enough. Not only did I drink wine, but my daughter also brewed tea for myself. The tea was so delicious.
After seeing off the three young people, a few more children from the village came soon, including a few from the East Courtyard. As usual, Wang Cuihua gave each handful of peanuts, but only two candies were given each.
I don’t know who said it, saying that there are candy when I go to Baidaliang’s house to pay New Year’s greetings. One morning, children are in a row, one after another, and when they come, they kneel down and kowtow, and sweetly said blessings such as Happy New Year and auspiciousness.
