Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. No matter you are an adult or a child, you cannot sleep in late.
As the saying goes: A year's plan begins in spring, a day's plan begins in the morning.
As the first day of the new year, for us, this is a brand new year. Everyone gets up early on this day and puts on new clothes, which means that this year will be wonderful.
As soon as Yang Jun opened the door, he saw Yang Mei standing at the door with several younger sisters and brothers.
"Happy New Year, brother."
The younger brothers and sisters shouted in unison and bowed to him.
"Okay...Happy New Year to you too."
Yang Jun was startled by them, and then he calmed down and said hello to them.
"Don't just stand there stupidly. Wash up and eat quickly. You'll be very busy today."
Yang Jun wanted to go to the bathroom to wash up, but Yang Mei and the others blocked the door and refused to give way.
They all stared at Yang Jun with small eyes and smiles on their faces.
Yang Jun was slightly startled and understood immediately.
This is for new year's money.
Yang Jun shook his head, smiled, took out the money from his pocket, and gave each of his younger brothers and sisters thirty yuan as a new year's gift.
Yang Mei and Yang Liu were stunned for a moment when they saw that each of them was given thirty yuan of lucky money, but they knew that their eldest brother was not short of money, so they accepted it.
"Yang Laosi, you will give the money to mom later and ask mom to save it for you."
When giving Yang Yu some lucky money, Yang Jun mentioned it casually.
Recently, the total amount of pocket money he gave Yang Yu amounted to twenty yuan. For her status as the eldest sister, Yang Jun also spoiled her. If he hadn't seen his sister being bullied by Bangge, he wouldn't be like this.
Indulge your sister's lavish spending.
"I won't pay it, this is my lucky money."
Yang Yu was afraid that Yang Jun would regret it, so he quickly put the money in his pocket and ran away.
…
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Every family eats dumplings, and the Yang family is no exception.
Today's dumplings were made by Wang Yuying, Yang Mei and Yang Liuniang who got up early. There are three kinds of fillings in the dumplings: radish and beef filling, pork and green onion filling and leek and egg filling.
Wang Yuying ate dumplings stuffed with leek and egg, leaving the meat dumplings for the children.
Yang Jun saw this and knew that she was reluctant to eat meat.
I remember when I was a child, my parents always used the excuse that they didn’t like to eat these things and left all the good things to their children. At that time, he was stupid and really thought that his parents didn’t like to eat those things. It wasn’t until he grew up that he realized
What does it mean to be a parent in the world?
Yang Jun also followed her to eat leek and egg dumplings, and then gave her some beef and radish dumplings.
Wang Yuying looked at Yang Jun but didn't say anything. Her nose twitched and she sighed in her heart that her son had really grown up.
"How much New Year's money do you give them?"
Wang Yuying asked casually while eating dumplings.
"three……"
Yang Jun was just about to say thirty yuan when he suddenly saw the nervous expressions of Yang Liu and Yang Yu and immediately changed his words,
"Sanmao."
Yang Jun did not dare to say more. If Wang Yuying knew that he gave his younger brothers and sisters thirty yuan as a new year's gift, they would not be able to keep any of it.
"Sanmao?"
Wang Yuying looked at Yang Jun in surprise. She didn't believe that Yang Jun, a maniac who dotes on girls, only gave them three cents of new year's money.
Yang Jun looked at Wang Yuying embarrassedly, then grinned and said: "Three yuan."
When Wang Yuying heard that she was given three yuan as a new year's gift, it was reasonable, but she still felt that it was a bit too much.
"Fourth girl, you hand over two yuan and I will keep it for you. You can keep the other yuan as pocket money. Fifth, you are still young and don't need pocket money."
After Wang Yuying finished speaking, she looked at the bayberry and willow trees.
"As for you two...keep it to yourself."
Yang Laosi's mouth was bulging with dumplings, and he looked at Wang Yuying with tears in his eyes.
They are both biological daughters, so why are they treated differently?
"I... don't... accept..."
Before Yang Laosi could finish speaking, Yang Liu covered her mouth and winked at her repeatedly.
That means telling her that if the trouble continues, I'm afraid she will have to hand over thirty yuan. Now I only ask you to pay two yuan, so you can be satisfied.
Yang Laosi's mouth was so full that she couldn't explain clearly, and tears were rolling in her eyes. She knew that her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had no choice but to admit it.
As for the thirty yuan of New Year's money given to Lao Wu Yang Huai, Yang Mei had already collected it. As for whether she would hand it over later, he didn't know.
When Yang Jun finished eating, many people had gathered in front of his house. These were people who came to help. Although the wedding was held tomorrow, everything to be done today had to be prepared in advance.
Setting up a pot and stove is a arduous task. Early in the morning, the second uncle asked Liu Guangfu to push a cart of soil and bricks from nowhere. Then, under the command of Sha Zhu, several young and strong laborers in the yard started
After setting up the stove, you still need to light a fire to let the stove dry quickly.
There are four stoves in one go, some for making soup, some for stewing, some for stir-frying, and some for boiling water. According to Silly Zhu, the four-burner stove is also compact and easy to use.
Ma Hua, Liu Lan, and Master Wang, who used to cook with Shazhu in the first canteen, all came. Shazhu also specially invited Liu Hongchang, the chef of the second canteen of the street guest house.
This is the famous chef in Forty-Nine City. Silly Zhu from the steel rolling mill, Liu Hongchang from the guest house and Nan Yi from the machine repair shop are called the three famous chefs in Forty-Nine City.
Now that two of the three famous chefs are here, this wedding banquet can be said to be even better than the state banquet.
There were seven or eight people working as cooks and cutters. They propped up the chopping board next to the stove, then moved all the ingredients to the front yard and started processing them.
The women in the yard, like the second aunt and the third aunt, went over to help select and wash the vegetables. As for the older girls and younger wives like Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li, and He Yuyu, they went to help decorate the new house.
The house is newly renovated, and there is nothing to clean. I just cut out some window grilles and put happy words on them.
Yang Jun saw Wang Yuying carrying a rooster and a hen under the bed. He didn't understand what the details were, but as long as it didn't delay his bridal chamber, he didn't care whether the chicken pooped.
Yes, just let her do whatever she wants.
The third uncle is still working in his old business, and I don’t know if his family sells paper. He used a lot of it last time for Sha Zhu’s wedding and this New Year, so he still took out more than a dozen pieces of red paper this time.
He set the table in the yard, with Yan Jiecheng helping to cut the paper. Then he pushed the temples of his glasses wrapped in medical tape with his hands, thought for a moment, and then picked up the pen to write.
First couplet: ‘A simple marriage brings happiness into bloom’
Second line: "Thousands of people are listed in the honor list of getting rich through hard work"
After the third uncle finished writing, he motioned to Yan Jiecheng to take it aside to dry, and then he picked up the pen and wrote another couplet.
First couplet: "You respect me and love you, I am like a mandarin duck"
Second line: "The harmony of mind and affection is exactly the link between branches"
Then the third uncle continued to write couplets and the word "happy".
The second uncle came from the front yard and directed Liu Guangtian to go to the cook in the front yard to boil some paste.
"This couplet is well written and posted at the entrance of the courtyard."
"This couplet is posted on the front door of the new house."
"And don't forget to post two couplets on the old house."
The second uncle, with his belly hunched and his hands behind his back, directed the young men in the yard to do what they were doing.
Recently, the second uncle Liu Haizhong has been addicted to officialdom. He always feels that his talents have been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai for so many years. Now that he has managed two weddings in a row, he feels more and more comfortable.
