479. New Year's Day
After returning home, it became lively. On New Year's Eve, every household had to drink and eat good food to reward the hard work of the year. At the same time, there was a Spring Festival party to watch. It was the happiest night for farmers throughout the year.
This time, everyone was dispatched to make evening dishes. Winnie and Auerbach made Western food, Qin's mother, Qin's father and Qin Shiou made Chinese food, and Shirley helped them. Bird set up an oven and took the children to make barbecue together, so they were the best at doing this.
The oven was welded by Bird himself these days. Qin Peng had materials and electric welding. Bird easily made two ovens, one large and one small.
In the evening, the delicious dishes were served on the table. Qin's father took the wine and drinks to the table. The wide kang was filled with it. Qin Shiou and Qin's father had to stand below.
There are so many people, and Qin's father and Qin's mother are very happy. In the past, since the sister got married, Qin Shiou was left with only one child in the family, and there were only three people in New Year's Eve, which was really boring.
This year is so exciting. There are four children alone, including foreign and Chinese, saying that there is anything more lively than this?
What's more, there was a bear, a wolf, two dogs, and a white-headed eagle on the ground. Bush was fine, but there was no movement when he grabbed the armrest of the chair. The four tigers, leopards, bears, and wolfs gathered together and were not at peace. They snatched food, drinks, and played, which made Qin Shiou very busy.
The classic opening music of the Spring Festival Gala rang out, and shining fireworks appeared in the night sky outside. → Qin's father raised his wine glass to pick up his wine: "Today is our New Year's Eve, that's right, welcome Auerbach and Bird to visit. I hope our family has a larger population next year, ahem. Do you know what I mean Xiaoou?"
Qin Shiou was helpless. Can this also be related to having a baby? He waved his hand and said, "Dad. Keep going, hurry up. The food is cold."
Winnie smiled and said, "Don't worry, dad continued, I'll go to heat up if the food is cold."
She is on the same front as Qin's father and mother, and she also wants children.
Qin's father and mother laughed, and finally Qin's father said, "Everyone is healthy and everything goes well." Then he took the lead in having a drink. Tonight, everyone except Bird drank all the grape fruit wine. Pure fruit wine was not enough, so you can drink it hard.
Eat rice cake first. This is a heavy dish at night of thirty, symbolizing the height of each year.
Qin Shiou’s rice cakes in his hometown are all sweet millet cakes. He heard that this thing is salty? Isn’t this a mess? The rice cakes are sweet, the rice dumplings are sweet, and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes must be salty...
The effect of eating the New Year's Eve dinner of three people is completely different from that of ten people. More than ten people are talking and laughing and eating slowly, and they also have to watch the Spring Festival Gala program. This way, the meal is very slow, and occasionally teasing the four little girls of Tiger, Leopard, Bear, Wolf, and unknowingly, it is midnight.
The hosts on TV are paying New Year's greetings, and Qin Shiou also wishes his parents a happy New Year. Auerbach, Winnie and others follow, and the people on the table greet each other.
Winnie told the customs of Qin Shiou's hometown to her four children. When Shirley and others saw that everyone was greeting each other, they knelt down and kowtowed to Qin's father and Qin's mother, saying that the grandparents had a happy New Year.
Qin's father and Qin's mother were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They took out the prepared big red envelope and stuffed one of them. Xiong Da blinked his eyes and looked at it. Then he lay smartly on the ground, and used his fat head to hit the ground twice.
This scene really shocked Qin's father and Qin's mother. Qin's father quickly let the people on the kang squeeze, and tried hard to hold Xiong Da onto the kang, laughing: "You think this bear is so smart? Oh, I have lived for so many years. The first time I heard that a bear kowtowed to greet the New Year!"
Xiong Da went to the table and entered the village with the Japanese. Winnie brought it fruit salad and fried chicken nuggets, and she ate whatever she had. She opened her mouth and swallowed it voraciously.
Qin's mother rubbed Xiong Da's soft hairy ears with satisfaction and said, "No wonder you had to bring these things back for the New Year. They are really like their family. It's great to know everything."
There were scattered sounds of firecrackers outside, and soon the sound of firecrackers became louder and louder and began to become continuous.
We had to go to bed after dinner, but today Qin's father and Qin's mother were really excited and didn't feel sleepy at all. Winnie arranged for the four children to go back to the room first, and a group of adults took out cards and continued playing.
We played until four o'clock. Qin's father collected the cards and prepared to put dumplings. After eating them, he had to go to pay New Year's greetings. Their family was of great seniority and many people came to pay New Year's greetings, so they had to open the door early, so of course they needed to eat breakfast.
Qin Shiou went out to set off firecrackers with Bird. In the room, Winnie accompanied Qin's father to set dumplings. He looked back at the figure in the light and felt very satisfied.
Once again, he thanked himself for being able to control himself. If he wasn't just devoted himself to Winnie, but was having sex with the beauties in Canada, he might be happy occasionally, but he wouldn't be so happy on important festivals like the New Year.
Starting from 5:30, someone came to pay New Year's greetings before dawn.
No one is concerned about the poor and downtown, and rich people are in the deep mountains. Because of Qin Shiou, there are many people who wish New Year's greetings to their homes this year. Some relatives who have been out of the five-dress period, that is, they have to count for several generations to count. They also come to the door to pay New Year's greetings to Qin's father and mother.
This makes sense, anyway, their family is of great generation.
Winnie prepared a large stack of red envelopes, and she was with her mother Qin. As long as the person who came had children, she would immediately give one, and celebrate and Qin's mother was happy.
People who wish New Year's greetings often take the opportunity to come to see the bride. After all, this is the first foreign bride in their world. She is beautiful and has a good temperament. She has long been curious. This time, she took the opportunity to give New Year's greetings to take a look.
Winnie received special etiquette training. She had etiquette classes in college and also had etiquette classes when she worked. She treated people gentlely and answered questions from elders without any miss, which made the New Year greetings convinced after reading it.
Later, when people in the village educated their children and grandchildren, they used Winnie as a benchmark: "Study hard, go to a good university, and find a good job after graduation, otherwise you can find a good wife like Xiaoou of the Qin family in the future?"
Qin Shiou was also very happy to walk with Qin's father on the road, because they were of great age and almost all the people they met on the road wished them New Year's greetings.
As he walked, he met Qin Peng. The boy saw Qin Shiou and lowered his head and retracted into the crowd. The family had a large population, with only six uncles and uncles. Unlike Qin Shiou's family, he had two consecutive menstruation and single passing.
Qin Shiou grabbed Qin Peng and said with a smile: "Come on, nephew, I wish you a happy new year to my uncle. Are you still wearing a suit and tie today? Oh, this man looks great."
"Damn it, you are a real beast, can you let your brother go? I'm going to call you your uncle and I won't be ashamed to see you in the future." Qin Peng smiled helplessly.
"Hurry up, serious, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so why do you wish my dad a happy New Year?"
"Grandpa, it's a happy New Year."
Qin's father laughed and said to Qin Shiou: "Okay, okay, don't bother Dapeng anymore. What kind of seniority do you guys like you have?"
Qin Peng took off Qin Shiou and ran away. Qin Shiou shouted from behind: "I will go to your house later. If your daughter doesn't call you uncle, I will only ask your wife!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
