Lin Xiaomian and the others bought a lot of fireworks and came back.
Ye Mo and the others were having fun playing outside when Ma Ye's shout came from inside the house: "It's time to eat."
Go back home, wash your hands, and sit down at the dinner table.
There were three people at the table, so it was quite lively.
Over here, they don’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but glutinous rice balls.
Everyone first served a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
Tangyuan means reunion and happiness.
Ye Mo also took out three red envelopes.
Each red envelope contains five hundred yuan, one for Tang Tang, one for Tang Tian, and one for nephew Ye Yu.
"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Xia hugged Tang Tian and said.
"Thank you, uncle." Tang Tian said in a sweet voice.
"Thank you, uncle." Tang Tang also said, "Happy New Year, uncle. I wish you good luck and may you marry me as soon as possible."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Ye Mo reached out and patted Tang Tang on the head: "Hahaha...who taught you these words."
Zhang Xia knocked on his son's head: "Don't you thank me?"
"Thank you, uncle. Happy New Year, uncle..."
"Haha, okay."
For the names of their parents, for example, Ye Mo and Ye Ran... call them 'Second Uncle, Third Uncle', 'Second Aunt, Third Aunt'. But Ye Zhi, Ye Wen and others call Ye Mo's parents 'Uncle, Aunt'.
Auntie, the titles are different from eldest mistress.
The names are different in different places.
"Brother, Happy New Year, I wish you good luck and bring me the red envelope." Ye Ran said with a smile.
"How old are you? You want red envelopes? No." Ye Mo rolled his eyes at her.
"Sister-in-law." Ye Ran looked at Lin Xiaomian.
Lin Xiaomian pretended to be searching, took out a red envelope and handed it to Ye Ran, and then gave another red envelope to Chen Chen.
"I don't want it anymore." Chen Chen shook his head vigorously.
Ye Mo said to Chen Chen: "Are you sensible? Take it quickly."
Chen Chen didn't understand what it meant, but he still accepted the red envelope.
Tang Xun stretched out his finger and poked Chen Chen: "Why don't you thank me boss quickly?"
Only then did Chen Chen react: "Thank you, brother."
Ye Mo covered his forehead and smiled: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Chen chuckled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
At the table, Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran were both a little embarrassed.
Zhang Xia smiled and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, don't give me red envelopes."
"I'm so embarrassed to give it, but you're so embarrassed to ask for it."
"If you give it to me, why should I be embarrassed to ask for it?"
Ye Zhi patted his wife and said, "Boss, can you go out and play tomorrow?"
"Where are we going to play?" Ye Mo asked.
"Just find a place." Ye Zhidao.
Ye Mo thought about it: "Why don't we go to Zhonghua Temple tomorrow? It's not far away. Let's go there and burn some incense."
"Can."
Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun and the others: "Are you going to register tomorrow?"
"Well, there will be a reception at uncle Zhang Xia's house tomorrow," Tang Xun said.
"A reception on New Year's Day?"
"Uncle Zhang Xia's birthday is tomorrow."
"Then come back and play cards in the afternoon." Ye Mo said.
"I want it."
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
Today is New Year's Eve. After dinner, no one was in a hurry to go back. Some were playing cards and others were playing mahjong.
As for watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was just Ye Mo and four grown men with three children.
Southerners don’t like to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala program is mainly based in the north. Some idiot hosts will ask everyone from time to time: Have you eaten dumplings? Are the dumplings delicious?
Southerners don’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, okay?
Seeing this, southerners will inevitably feel embarrassed.
There are also sketches in the Spring Festival Gala, which are mainly from the north, and the quality of the sketches in recent years has become worse and worse. In the past, when I watched the Spring Festival Gala, I looked forward to the sketches, but now I watch the sketches in the Spring Festival Gala, which is sometimes embarrassing.
In their area, on New Year's Eve... everyone who could find a card partner went out to play cards.
As for the young people, most of them went out to party.
The card game at home didn't end until after eleven o'clock.
Ye Mo stood up, swept the floor, made some black tea and came over: "Uncle, sissy, drink tea."
"Drink tea in the evening. Don't worry about not being able to sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year and I have to get up early." Lin Shan said.
"This is black tea. Drink a little at night and it has a soothing effect." Ye Mo said.
Xiaomian sat next to her mother: "Mom, I'm sorry, there are so many things going on here, and it's all Ye Mo's fault. He has to plant so many watermelons."
"It's good for the whole family to celebrate the New Year together." Xiaomian's mother smiled and shook her head, then glanced at Ye Mo: "You said today that working days are calculated, do you think Xiaomian and the others should also calculate it?"
Ye Mo nodded: "My eldest sister and the others have been here to help me for a long time, so I have to settle the matter. But I don't have much money on hand now. I have to wait until the watermelon is sold before I can help my eldest sister and the others."
Lin Shan nodded and came out to help. One or two days is nothing, but it lasts a month: "Have you recorded everyone's workdays?"
"Ye Mo has a small notebook and remembers everything." Lin Xiaomian said with a smile.
"It's ours, don't you remember?" Xiaomian's mother said with a smile.
"I won't keep it in mind for you." Lin Xiaomian said with a smile: "I am in charge of the money at home now, how dare you take money from your daughter."
Xiaomian's mother smiled, pinched Lin Xiaomian's fleshy face gently, and then said to Ye Mo: "You are not married yet, and Lin Xiaomian is going hard on you."
Ye Mo looked at the time with a smile, it was almost twelve o'clock, and said, "Are the fireworks finished?"
"not yet."
"Let's set off the fireworks." Ye Mo went to the eaves to get the fireworks and went outside to light them.
Beautiful fireworks exploded in the night sky...
Xiaomian's father also took two fireworks and lit them...
It's twelve o'clock.
In the distance, Ye Mo and the others heard the sound of many firecrackers.
It’s quite nice to be in a remote rural area, where you can still feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
Ye Mo and the others spread out the firecrackers, lit them, and crackled... for a long time.
"Dad, Mom, good night." Lin Xiaomian said.
"Uncle, ma'am, good night." Ye Mo also said.
"You guys go to bed early. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so you can't sleep in late..." Xiaomian's mother said.
"I know." Lin Xiaomian replied with a smile, pulling Ye Mo up the stairs.
New Year's Day.
According to their local custom, they cannot sleep in late...
At dawn, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian got up and went downstairs, first going outside to light the New Year firecrackers.
On the eve of New Year's Eve, at twelve o'clock...a bunch of firecrackers are set off. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a bunch of firecrackers are also set off...
Xiaomian's parents also got up early.
Xiaomian’s mother is cooking glutinous rice balls. She eats glutinous rice balls on New Year’s Eve night, and still has glutinous rice balls on the morning of the first day of the new year...
The glutinous rice balls are filled with sesame seeds and are sweet glutinous rice balls.
There are meat dumplings, which are salty.
There are also sauerkraut glutinous rice balls, salt vegetable glutinous rice balls...
Even among people from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, there are probably not many people who have eaten meat-filled glutinous rice balls. Not to mention pickled vegetable glutinous rice balls and salted vegetable glutinous rice balls...
The meat stuffed glutinous rice balls are not delicious, they are really not delicious. The pickled cabbage glutinous rice balls are also very average...but the salt vegetable glutinous rice balls taste surprisingly good.
Ate rice dumplings.
Ye Mo fed Xiao Mu a big meal. He ate the leftover pig's trotters from last night, heated them up and fed them to Xiao Mu...
Xiaomu was left to look after the house, and they all got into the car and set off for Zhonghua Temple.
