LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 28 It’s New Year’s Eve
On the first day of the New Year, the children were awakened by firecrackers.
They changed into their New Year clothes and put on their new cotton shoes early in the morning, chirping.
They couldn't hide under the covers and woke up the adults by making a fuss, so they could only let them put on new clothes and play in the yard.
Children wearing new clothes and new shoes were jumping around the house, and the clear laughter of children was everywhere in the Su family.
Several brothers and sisters went to Tong Xiaying's house together and poked their heads around.
"Come in, my sister is awake. I have changed her New Year's clothes." Tong Xiaying shouted when she saw the heads outside.
Su Hanlin breathed a sigh of relief after putting on clothes. She finally had something to wear.
She was usually wrapped in a blanket and put on a diaper. After running around naked for four months, she finally had her own clothes.
Su Hanlin's skin was already fair and tender, and wearing bright red light cotton clothes made her skin even more fair and tender, making everyone's eyes brighten up.
He has a chubby face with baby fat, chubby eyes, big and round eyes, and double eyelids. He looks like a little boy sitting in front of a Bodhisattva.
"Wow, my sister is so cute!"
"No, my sister is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful girl." Su Sanye held Su Hanlin's hand, looking like a nymphomaniac.
As a child, everyone has a love for beauty.
They all have a childlike heart.
When Mrs. Su saw Su Hanlin dressed like this, she looked like a small-scale ranking in the painting that year.
The more you look at it, the more people feel that this girl is a lucky baby, bringing blessings to their family.
"Don't tell me that your father's eyes are quite good. This little hat and shoes look really good on him, just like the boy who spreads his wealth." Mrs. Su couldn't help praising her granddaughter.
As soon as Chen Juhua saw the little man in the old lady's arms, she couldn't help but run over and said, "Mom, give me a hug."
He hugged her and couldn't bear to let go, "Mom, I just said that this girl is very rare. Han Lin's little appearance is so... cute. I have never seen such a beautiful child. She will definitely be angry when she grows up. Smart and beautiful.”
There are three sons here, and I feel a little sad when I think about it.
"It's rare that you and your second brother have another baby later. It's rare to have a girl." Mrs. Su looked at her aggrieved look and said.
"I don't want it, the second child is stupid, he doesn't have the gene.
The third child looks handsome, but Han Lin's small nose and small eyes are what makes him so handsome. "Chen Juhua felt disgusted.
"I just care about Hanlin, Mom, I want to take Hanlin as my daughter, what do you think?
Third brother and sister, if you don’t mind, in the future..."
"Second sister-in-law, I know you know Hanlin, why should I mind? Many people feel sorry for Hanlin, and it's too late for me to be happy.
Why do you mind? Hanlin will call you aunt and second mom from now on. How about that? "Tong Xiaying knew that she liked children, so she simply accepted the favor.
"That's great!"
"Hanlin, I will be your second mother from now on. Just call me, second...mom."
"Hanlin, I am your aunt, learn from me, eldest...mom."
Both sisters-in-law were very fond of Hanlin. Their own children were not so cute when Hanlin was so old.
At that time, his little face was wrinkled, just like a little old man or little old lady.
Mrs. Su smiled and opened the lid of the pot, "Hurry up and take the child out. It's stuffy in this room and there's a lot of steam."
As soon as she opened the lid of the pot, the hot white steam in the pot instantly filled the room. The hot steam hit her face directly, and the pores on her face instantly expanded.
A pot of large white flour steamed buns with a pheasant and wild duck steamed underneath.
Use one pot for two purposes, no waste of firewood.
Today is New Year's Eve. You can't eat meat in the morning, you can only eat vegetarian food.
Just white steamed buns, millet porridge and hot and sour potato shreds.
In the evening, it’s time for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Fish, chicken, duck, and pork are all served together.
The most hearty meal of the year.
After lunch, we started preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The whole village is immersed in the joy of the New Year.
Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, we all hope that next year will be better and better.
Take out the steamed chicken and duck, put them on a large plate, and put them on the table in the courtyard, ready to say goodbye.
The big custom here is to worship ancestors during the New Year. In the past two years, it has been a bit strict, so they can only close the door and worship secretly in private.
The two sisters-in-law took out the ribs buried in the snow and defrosted them.
In the evening, we will cook pork ribs. The five kilograms of mutton left last time have all melted. We will cook mutton hot pot in the evening, and all the copper pots have been packed away.
In the cold winter, the outdoors is a natural refrigerator. As long as you bury the meat in the snow, you can ensure that the meat will not go bad throughout the winter.
This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner includes braised pork ribs, hot pot mutton soup, pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, shepherd’s purse dumplings, hot and sour fish soup...
The table was full of meat and vegetables, and there was no room for it.
"I've cooked two big pots of rice. It's enough. You can eat as much as you want. You need to eat enough in the New Year and you'll be full next year!" Mrs. Su carried a large barrel of rice and placed it beside her.
Before finishing the meal, Old Man Su went outside and lit a bunch of firecrackers. After the firecrackers finished going off, they started to use their chopsticks. Everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
Seeing how delicious they were eating, Su Hanlin was held in Tong Xiaying's arms, and the grin at the corner of her mouth never stopped.
This is too unfair. Why should they eat meat while she drinks milk powder? The milk powder in her mouth tastes terrible.
He tilted his head and looked at the braised pork ribs on his mouth with greed, the sauce was thick.
One look at it makes people salivate.
"Mom, my sister is drooling. Can she eat the ribs?"
"No, my sister is still young." A basin of cold water was poured on her head, and she could only continue sucking the milk powder without any interest. The slow teething was also a bad thing.
Unfortunately, she was unable to make the teeth grow back quickly.
There is some food left, and we need to have more for the New Year so that we can have more every year.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal, and the man burped several times.
Several children touched Yuan Bulengden's belly and said, "Mom, do you think my belly looks like a big rubber ball?"
"Come on, come on, after dinner, it's time to pay New Year's greetings to my grandparents.
They lined up one by one to pay New Year greetings and receive New Year's red envelopes. "
"Wow!!!"
"I have lucky money!"
When the children at home heard the words "New Year's money", they couldn't even walk.
Lucky money! ! !
They have never received lucky money, and they have only seen it from rich friends in the village.
"Grandma, do we have lucky money this year?" The child's eyes were filled with shock, and his tone revealed disbelief.
"Mom, do we really have lucky money?"
"If grandma says yes, then yes, go and kowtow to grandma in the New Year."
"Plop," just kneel down, "Grandma."
With a 'bang' sound, he knocked his head on the ground, full of sincerity.
It gives people a headache just listening to it.
"Are you okay?"
Su Daye grinned and covered his head, smiling, "It's okay, it's okay. Happy New Year to grandma. I wish grandma good health and all the best in the new year."
……
Several children made the old lady smile, and each child held a red envelope in his hand.
I happily took the red envelope and ran to play in the courtyard. After dinner outside, the firecrackers were loud.
The crackling never stopped.
