On the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers was crackling. Tian Minyan woke up from her sleep and looked at the tent roof. She was in a daze for a while. It was the New Year. This was her first New Year in this other world.
She turned over and sat up and called out. Bai Mei walked in with a basin of hot water. Tian Minyan asked: "Is the master and wife up?"
"I got up early and was waiting for the girl to say hello." Bai Mei said with a faint smile.
As he was talking, another voice came from outside: "Sister, are you up? It's time to go and pay New Year's greetings to my parents."
It was Xiao Wu's voice. Tian Minyan burst into laughter. He said that children love the Chinese New Year the most. He was really right. How could Xiao Wu get up so early on weekdays?
She asked Bai Mei to go out and let them wait while she quickly got up to wash and dress. After all, it was the New Year and she couldn't be sloppy.
After finishing dressing up, he walked out of the room and saw Xiaowu and Tian Minrui sitting in the small hall where guests were entertained. Both brothers were wearing new clothes, which made people's eyes bright.
After having eaten for more than half a year, Tian Minrui's figure has grown a lot, and he looks like a handsome young boy. He is wearing a royal blue robe with a partial lapel on the right side, an ultramarine belt embroidered with dark flowers and cloud patterns, and a hanging belt around his waist.
He was wearing an embroidered asparagus purse and a jade pendant. Tian Minyan recognized it as a meeting gift from Mrs. Liu. Her hair was half tied up and pinned with a newly bought jade hairpin.
And Xiao Wu, dressed like a little red envelope, a bright red robe, her waist tied with a red ribbon, a silver necklace around her neck, and a big green purse around her waist, presumably to hold the red envelope, so he raised it.
He is fair and chubby, with a pair of gleaming black grape-like eyes, and he is a smart young lady that makes people want to pinch his face.
"Sister, Happy New Year." Seeing Tian Minyan come out, Xiao Wu immediately stood up and bowed like a grown-up, which made Tian Minyan very funny.
"Happy New Year, sister." Tian Minrui also smiled.
"Brother, Xiaowu, happy New Year." Tian Minyan gave the two of them a blessing gift and said with a smile: "I wish you all the best, success in your studies, and that you will be the top scholar in the future."
"Hehe, sister, you look so beautiful dressed like this." Xiao Wu walked up to her, raised his head and said with a smile.
Tian Minyan was convinced and nodded.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, Tian Minyan was dressed very festively, wearing a pink Baidie flower jacket, a begonia-red flower jacket, a rouge-colored pleated satin skirt embroidered with begonia, and a pair of pink satin embroidered shoes with the toes
I embroidered a butterfly with two small pearls on its wings. It was very beautiful.
Look at her lightly swiping her eyebrows and applying light makeup. Her skin is white and rosy and she is very beautiful. She asked Ji Xiang to help her tie up a flying bun and tied it with a pink ribbon, leaving half of her long black hair hanging on her head.
Finally, there is a red gold pearl stuck in the bun, swaying gently as she walks, a unique hairpin with pearl flowers on the temples, a pair of pearl earrings hanging from both ears, and a silver necklace on the neck, which is worn on one hand.
Wearing a silver bracelet and a ring on each hand, it is simple but elegant.
A daughter in my family has grown up, Tian Minrui said with a smile.
"Brother, even you are making fun of me." Tian Minrui blushed slightly and said angrily.
"Master, miss, it's time for the master and his wife to wait." Ruyi walked in and said with a smile.
"Let's go and pay New Year's greetings to our parents." Tian Minrui stretched out his hands, holding one in each hand, and walked towards the main room.
When they arrived at the main hall of the main house, Luo Shi and the others were already waiting. When they saw three newly dressed children coming in, they immediately beamed.
"My son (daughter) kowtows to my father and mother to pay New Year greetings. I wish my father and mother good health, all the best, and a smile." The three brothers and sisters bowed in unison, knelt down on the futon prepared by the maid, and kowtowed three times.
.
"Good, good, get up quickly, get up quickly." Tian Huairen and Luo Shi hurriedly asked the children to get up, took out the red envelopes they had prepared, stuffed one into each person, and said, "I also wish you a happy new year and grow up quickly.
ah."
"Thank you mom, thank you dad." The three of them thanked each other in unison.
Tian Minyan pinched the red seal, which was probably the newly struck gold pin.
In the past, my family was poor, so the red seal was just a symbolic payment of a few copper coins. Now it has been upgraded to gold. This jump is not a big one.
Of course, in addition to the gold pick, Tian Minyan also had small silver picks given to her. However, these were not given to everyone she met, but only to some children who were particularly kind to her.
Luo Shi took several children and looked at them. His eyes were so soft that they were almost watering. In the blink of an eye, the children had grown so big.
"My daughter looks so good dressed like this. She is no worse than those other ladies." Tian Huairen looked at his slim daughter and was very pleased.
"Dad, you are making fun of me..." Tian Minyan showed her daughter's coquettish look, so coquettish that people liked her from the bottom of her heart.
When Luo Shi saw it, he smiled and said: "In a few years, we will be talking to each other. After the New Year, we will be twelve years old, and we are still acting like a baby to our parents."
After saying this, Tian Minyan's face turned red with embarrassment, while Xiao Wu covered his mouth and snickered, while secretly opening the red seal to take a look.
The little girl who was still in her infancy seemed unwilling to be left out and screamed, making a few people laugh.
The family was talking, and Butler Lin's voice came from outside, saying that he was here to pay New Year's greetings to the masters.
Tian Minyan let them in. The people in the two rooms were neatly dressed, and Baimei Xiaoxing was also among them. Qi Wawa said auspicious words, and knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Get up." Tian Huairen raised his hand with a smile, Tian Minyan nodded secretly, her father is quite stylish.
The red envelopes had been prepared long ago, and Luo sent them one by one. Of course, there were big and small ones. The biggest ones belonged to Butler Lin and Jiang Rongsheng. They had as much as 300 yuan. For two ladies, it was 200 yuan. As for the girl and the boy, it was just one
One hundred coins. Of course, Xiaoxing and Baimei are different, both of them have one tael of silver.
This was what Tian Minyan had agreed upon. The two people had not been here for a long time, so there was no need to give so many red envelopes. It was only in the first year that they gave a big one in order to win over people's hearts.
During the Chinese New Year, getting a red envelope is also auspicious. Even if you give a big sum of money, you should be happy, especially the children. No, when they receive the red envelope, they all smile and thank you again and again.
Tian Huairen encouraged them and asked them to go down to work. Luo Shi also ordered breakfast to be served, and the whole family gathered together to eat it in the main room.
After breakfast, the housekeeper said again that Mr. Thank you for coming to pay New Year's greetings to the master, wife and masters, and let him in.
"Chengzhong wishes you a happy New Year and a prosperous New Year for my wife. I also wish you a happy New Year for the young men and girls. I wish my masters a happy New Year and all the best." As he spoke, he kowtowed several times.
"Get up." Luo Shi took a red envelope and handed it to him: "I also wish you a happy new year. I wish you a beautiful wife and a fat boy next year."
"Yes, yes, I want your red envelope." Xiao Wu said while jumping.
Xie Chengzhong blushed, scratched his head, laughed, and said: "Even if you don't have a wife, you should still give red envelopes to the young master." As he said that, he took out four red envelopes from his arms and gave one to each of them.
Xiao Yue, who was still in swaddling clothes, was placed next to the swaddling clothes.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Wu smiled.
"This red seal is not much, just to please me." Xie Chengzhong chuckled.
Now he has accepted Tian Minyan's family as his master, and he is doing business outside. This time in Fucheng, he and Liang Darong are also in charge. I don't know how many times better than in the past. People have grown up, can earn money, and are
Following a good boss, now the matchmaker has to cross the threshold of his house, and her mother is dazzled by the choices.
Luo Shi asked how his mother was doing, and he answered her questions one by one, saying that he would come to kowtow to his wife. Luo Shi said hurriedly that the old man was not in good health, so he would not come, and he understood her.
Having said that, when Luo Shi knew that Xie Gouzi's mother was still kowtowing in the direction of Tian's house.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we generally don’t visit relatives, we only visit the homes of people we know well to say New Year greetings. Children even run around wildly, asking for red envelopes and candies.
No, Xiaowu took the lead and ran to Aunt Zhu's house, dragging Erdan, Aunt Zhu's youngest son, around to the homes of acquaintances. After a while, the two children came back with full wallets.
Erdan and Xiaowu were good friends, so they naturally came to Tian Minyan's house. Luo Shi also gave them a thick red envelope, and then went to several familiar houses to pay New Year greetings. He also told them which house they would go to on which day.
Tian Minyan's family hosted a New Year's dinner on the fifth day of the first lunar month, because it was the birthdays of her brother and sister Tian Minrui. She thought that she and her two children had not had a good birthday in previous years, so this year they took advantage of the treat to do so.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when a married woman returns to her parents' home. Tian Minyan and the others got up early in the morning, had breakfast, loaded up most of the car's New Year's gifts, and headed to Luojia Village.
The uncle and Mrs. Gao had been waiting at the door of the house for a long time. When they saw their carriage, they greeted them with a smile.
"Uncle, Happy New Year." Xiao Wu was the first to jump out of the carriage, and flew towards him with his short legs.
"Ouch, this kid has sunk a lot again." Uncle Luo picked up Xiao Wu, patted him on the butt and said with a smile.
"I can only see your uncle, but I can't see my aunt?" Mrs. Gao pretended to be unhappy with a smile.
Xiaowu came down immediately, made a pretentious call, and said respectfully: "Auntie, happy New Year, and a prosperous New Year. Xiaowu wishes you and your uncle a happy New Year."
"You're a good boy, take it." Gao Shi stuffed a thick red envelope to him, and Xiao Wu immediately beamed.
Luo Shi walked up to him with his little girl in his arms, smiled and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, happy New Year."
Tian Minyan and the others also came forward to greet them one by one. Mrs. Gao was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth and hurriedly let them into the house.
Thanks to Tian Minyan's ideas, my uncle also made a lot of money last year, and his house was renovated and renovated. I heard that he will build a new house next year.
Entering the house, there were a lot of people. My eldest cousin and my uncle's family were all there. I heard that my second uncle's family had gone to Kyoto and would not be here to celebrate the New Year this year, so I didn't see them either.
The eldest cousin gave birth to a fat son as early as one month before Luo Shi gave birth. He is almost three months old now. He is very smart and very smart.
Several juniors paid New Year greetings to their elders one by one. Of course, red envelopes were indispensable, and the room was full of auspicious words.
After the eldest cousin Zhou gave birth to her son, she had everything going for her, and her family environment also improved. Her life was comfortable and she was well-rounded, but she was not as rich as Luo and the others, and she was not jealous.
Tian Minyan only pulled her tongue and praised her: "As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. Look at our sister Yan dressed up like this, she is really as good as a young lady."
She was dressed festively for the New Year, but Tian Minyan was still dressed in crabapple red. Because she was visiting relatives, the jewelry she wore was more expensive than when she was at home. Even on her hand, she wore the beads given by the old lady, which were wrapped around several times, which was very eye-catching.
.
Mrs. Gao had always liked Tian Minyan, so he called her to his side, looked her up and down carefully, nodded frequently and said: "My body has grown a lot, and it's really longer than last year. It's no wonder that the matchmakers have stepped on the threshold of your house.
"The last sentence was said to Luo Shi.
Tian Minyan became a favorite, and they knew about the fact that people came to propose marriage early on. Not to mention Yangmei Village, even around Luojia Village, they knew that Luo Yaoguang's family was Tian Minyan's direct uncle, and several families came to visit.
What about the tone of voice?
Tian Minyan was said to be extremely shy. She blushed and said coquettishly: "Auntie, I won't let you do this."
Seeing her cute little daughter look, Mrs. Gao laughed and hugged her and said, "Ah, I'm so embarrassed."
"Sister-in-law, please stop praising her. If you do it again, it will go to heaven. In the past two days, she has been looking in the mirror and asking me if I am beautiful." Luo Shi pursed her lips and chuckled, shaking off Tian Minyan's embarrassing incident.
"Mom!" Tian Minyan stomped her feet in protest.
"With the color of our sister Yan, there are so many people asking for marriage now. In the future, I am afraid that they will line up from Yangmei Village to Luojia Village." My aunt has always been reserved, so it is rare for her to be amused.
"No, our sister Yan should be matched with a good husband in the future." Mrs. Gao smiled and looked at Tian Minyan as if she were her own daughter.
"Auntie, if you keep talking, I will get angry." Tian Minyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pretending to be angry.
"Okay, don't tell me." Gao Shi hurriedly agreed, changed the subject, looked at Luo Shi and said, "Looking at your face, you look much better and your person has become mellower. This man really lives a comfortable life."
It will grow flesh."
"I see that my aunt's complexion has improved a lot. She is very rich." Mrs. Zhou also said with a smile.
Luo Shi stroked his face and said with a smile: "It's not as good as you said. Stop teasing me."
"Although you have taken care of yourself, it was your ex who hurt your foundation. In the past two years, it is better to avoid it. Now that you have two children, don't be so anxious to have another child." Mrs. Gao gave a reminder.
One sentence.
After hearing this, Luo Shi blushed, snarled, and pursed her lips towards Tian Minyan. Gao Shi coughed in hindsight.
Tian Minyan was amused when she saw it, but she only cared about hearing and not seeing, and only teased Brother Tiger and Little Sister. The two infant children were very curious when they saw that there was a child just like her (most children these days are the same).
The babbling was considered conversation, and Tian Minyan couldn't be more amused.
When the Gao family met, they also avoided the little girl Tian Minyan. They stopped talking about those dirty topics and only talked about the New Year. When they mentioned the preparations for going to Yokogawa to add makeup on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, they sighed again.
