Chapter 48 The Second Shou Sui Tea Party
"Dear elders, brothers and sisters, good evening. Hu Zi is here to wish you New Year's greetings to you in advance. Happy New Year. In order to wish you all the elders, Hu Zi is here to kowtow to you all the elders."
As he spoke, Hu Zi knelt on the platform with his knees and kowtowed three respectfully, "These three heads are of particular importance. The first head, I wish all elders good health in the coming year, the second head, I wish all the elders a happy family, and the third head is for our children themselves. I wish all of us one year older, good health, happiness and happiness, and not be beaten by our elders. Okay, let's talk less. Last year, although our tea party was not very satisfactory, everyone agreed that it was a perfect and harmonious tea party. Therefore, according to everyone's request, we will continue this year. According to Brother Heng, there were too few foods last year, and there were not even the most important midnight food, dumplings. How could this be done? So, the first program this year is to make dumplings. Let us all make dumplings together. Also, while making dumplings, you can also listen to me chat with you."
Hu Zi really has a good organizational ability in this public matter. Judging from what he said, he said one by one. Even no one would know that he said that, Yang Heng just arranged a sequence.
For this dumpling, Yang Heng made efforts in the second half of the year and even wasted a lot of vegetables of the season. However, this is not a waste. It is mainly because there are too many plants. Not only are they grown at home, but they are also planted at home. In addition to eating them, the vegetables grown are also sent back to the village for their parents and brothers to eat, but there are still a lot of leftovers. Yang Heng used the method to simply process some vegetables that cannot be eaten and then dry them in the sun.
He could not predict this weather. It would be nice to make ten times and cooperate on this day. Although those nine times could be taken back in time, it was no longer suitable for storage. Yang Heng needed urgently dried vegetables, which Yang Heng had made in his previous life. When eating, vegetables that were treated with this method were soaked in warm water, which was basically not much different from fresh ones. They tasted slightly worse than those that were cooked and dried.
In addition to these fast-dried vegetables, there are naturally some vegetables that are resistant to storage and can survive the winter, such as ginger, radish, etc., so this dumpling meal has a lot of fillings.
Everyone quickly put the panels in. This side was alive in the afternoon. Now it was just a dough. It was better for everyone to do the dumplings. Therefore, now there are no one idle when adults and children are working together.
"While we are making dumplings, let us report to our elders about our study this year. Come on, Brother Dandan, start with you."
When everyone was making dumplings together, the children's academic report began. Why start with Dandan? Because as a science, Dandan is really the worst. His best is arithmetic, but it cannot be expressed at this time. If you say that he can calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, this is not what Yang Heng looked like in his previous life. When someone is calculating orally, there is a computer calculating the real data, which can quickly determine whether he is calculating right or wrong. Therefore, on this night, arithmetic is useless.
"The world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast... Hey, I have memorized it all, how about it." "Well, it's not bad, Dandan has memorized all this thousand-character text, it's worthy of praise, Hu Zi, you continue."
"The next program, calligraphy performance, Xiao Chong and Niuzi perform writing, come and write paper and pen." This paper and pen was purchased by the father for these children. Each person had a set, including inkstones, brushes, ink blocks, and naturally there were a few pieces of paper. But in normal times, no one would use these paper and ink, but brushes still had to be used. My uncle made some wooden boards. Once they were dipped in water, they would change color. If they were dried, they would turn into original color. Therefore, during this period, the children had abandoned the sand table and switched to wooden boards and brushes. The words written in this way were basically the same as those written in ink. Each person had finished writing a piece and had a piece of it. This was the best time to practice calligraphy in the sunny weather.
When writing on paper with ink, Xiao Chong and Niuzi only practiced a few pieces of paper a few days ago, and they had not allowed all children to write. This is mainly because Xiao Chong and Niuzi are the best to write, so they chose these two people to write and perform.
Who is this person? Of course, it is Yang Heng. Everyone else is making dumplings, but only Yang Heng is patrolling the surroundings, so Yang Heng can only do odd jobs.
"Okay, good, good words, good words." When Niuzi and Xiao Chong showed their words in front of everyone, there was a burst of cheers. To be honest, no one knew whether this word was good or not. Adults thought that it was amazing that this child could write square words, while Yang Heng felt that the two of them were the same as the words on the textbook, and they could not tell whether the word was good or bad. Naturally, if you could write the same words as the textbook, that was good, which means that this imitation was ready and Yang Heng didn't understand the details.
When the words were finished, the dumplings were all wrapped, and the night was also in Xu. Last year, the children were all asleep, but tonight, the children were still excited because there were some of their performances next.
"The next program, there is a passage from the Book of Songs, Guan Ju," "Guang Guan Ju, on the River Island, a beautiful lady..." "Stop, stop," Uncle San was anxious, "Nephew Heng, what are you teaching? What kind of lady and what is good for? Can you tell children?" This, hey, Yang Heng couldn't smile bitterly. This is an article in the Book of Songs, how could it be opposed by the Third Uncle? This is mainly because there are no literati who are dating. Therefore, once there are sentences involving men and women in it, their first reaction is bad. Yang Heng actually has to give some explanations to Uncle San. It seems that next, we can't just teach the children, and adults should also let them learn something. Otherwise, they may live in the city in a few years, and there may be many jokes at that time.
Therefore, an objection from the third uncle made Yang Heng make a decision, that is, to let adults learn everything in the future, even if they don’t reach a very high level, they also need to understand some knowledge and not make jokes in the city. It is not that Yang Heng is afraid of others’ jokes, but that the uncles can interact well with others in the future.
