It was getting closer to early morning, and Xi'er couldn't hold on anymore. She felt sleepy while sitting on the sofa, her little head was like fishing. Little by little, finally, a fish took the bait!
Little friend Tan Xier couldn't hold on and fell into her sister's arms. She suddenly woke up, raised her head with sleepy eyes, looked at her sister with a silly smile, and tried to pretend that she wasn't sleepy, but her eyes were obviously unable to open.
The next second he closed his eyes, lay flat in his sister's arms, and fell asleep soundly.
"Are you sleepy, Xiaobai? Do you want to go to bed?" Zhang Tan asked.
Xiaobai also started to take a nap and felt sleepy. Zhang Tan took Xiaobai with him, while Tan Jiner picked up Xi'er in his arms and took them to the bedroom. They took care of them and laid them on the bed and covered them with quilts before leaving.
Zhang Tan took out the firecrackers from the room. It was a long firecracker with 150,000 rings, lying in the corridor.
Tan Jin'er specially checked the door and window of the bedroom to prevent the sound of firecrackers from waking up Xiaobai and Xi'er.
But even though the doors and windows were closed, after the big firecrackers were fired, the bedroom door opened, Xiaobai walked out in her pajamas, walked directly to her old man and sat down, tilted her head, and lay on his lap
superior.
"Why are you up again?" Zhang Tan asked.
Xiaobai said: "I will sleep with you, when will you go to bed?"
Zhang Tan said: "I have to keep vigil today, until early morning."
"Huh?" Xiaobai was surprised, "Why?"
Zhang Tan said: "Because there are Nian beasts coming out tonight, I will stay here to stop the Nian beasts and prevent them from coming in."
He told Xiaobai the story of the Nian beast, and then the story of New Year's Eve.
After hearing this, Xiaobai volunteered to stay vigil with the old man, but after a while she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on Zhang Tan's lap.
Tan Jin'er gently took Xiao Bai away and sent him to the bedroom again. It took a while before he came out.
At this time, Teacher Jiang got up and she wanted to go to bed. She was too old to endure it.
"You go to sleep, I will keep vigil tonight."
Like last year, Zhang Tan will be keeping vigil tonight, but what's different from last time is that this time Tan Jin'er is also sitting beside him to accompany him.
The charcoal in the brazier was burning, and the red flames brought warmth. The crackling sound of charcoal boiling could be heard from time to time in the quiet air. Only Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er were left in the living room.
The Spring Festival Gala is still playing on the TV, and the party is still so lively. However, after midnight, I always feel that something is missing.
Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er chatted for a few words, then fell into silence, relatively speechless.
This embarrassing mood spread in the night. Tan Jin'er stared at the charcoal in the brazier in a daze, while Zhang Tan stared at the TV in trance.
Tan Jin'er's eyes rolled around and finally stood up.
"I'm going to bed. You should go to bed early too. Good night."
"Okay, good night."
Zhang Tan stayed up until one o'clock in the morning before going to bed. He added charcoal to the brazier, opened the window in the living room, and then returned to the room.
The next day, the two children got up happily and came to pay New Year greetings early in the morning.
"Happy New Year, grandma! I wish you good health and a smile."
The children were the first to pay New Year greetings to Teacher Jiang. Teacher Jiang smiled and took out the red envelopes she had prepared for her, handed them to the two children, and wished them good health, happy growth, and academic progress in the new year.
Xi'er immediately said that she would get a certificate next time.
"Grandma, when Xi'er goes to elementary school, I will be awarded the title of Three Excellent Students."
Teacher Jiang said happily: "Then you have to work hard, grandma believes you can do it."
Tan Xier, a child, has great ambitions. While still in kindergarten, she has already set her sights on the first grade and has made a goal to be a good student, which even Xiaobai has not been able to achieve.
However, people are confident in their ability. After all, they have already started doing homework for the first grade of elementary school when they were still in kindergarten. They have been exposed to it since childhood, trained in a sea of questions, and competed with other children. Doesn't this mean winning at the starting line?
!It would be strange not to take three good students.
Moreover, although our little kid Tan Xier has a runny nose, he is ice-snowy and smart.
She likes to giggle, but that doesn't mean she's stupid, she's smart.
After wishing Teacher Jiang a happy new year, Xiaobai and Xi'er found Tan Jin'er, who was helping to make breakfast in the kitchen, and wished her a happy new year, and received two big red envelopes again.
"Old man~Old man~~~"
"Where's the godfather? Godfather hiahia~"
The two children swarmed into the bedroom, thinking that Zhang Tan was still sleeping, so they wanted to pull him up from the bed to pay New Year greetings and ask for lucky money.
However, they found that there was no sign of Zhang Tan in the bedroom. When they asked, they found out that the old man had gotten up early and was clearing the snow in the yard.
It snowed all night last night, and a thick layer accumulated in the yard, blocking the road.
Today is a New Year's greeting. In order to facilitate travel, Zhang Tan started busy early in the morning. He was carrying a shovel and clearing the snow on the road to clear a passable road.
The two children ran outside and saw Zhang Tan who was very busy. They first wished him New Year greetings and received the New Year's money, then rolled up their sleeves and started working together.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the adults and children of the Zhang family started working. This is really a hard-working family.
A hard-working family is always happy and prosperous.
The children have red envelopes, even Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er. They received red envelopes from Teacher Jiang.
Zhang Tan put it away and put it in his pocket carefully. It was a blessing to have elders at home and receive lucky money during the New Year.
Even in Zhang Tan's opinion, this kind of happiness is precious, and it touches him more than getting rich and having a successful career.
He could not help but think of his parents in his previous life. His sudden departure must have broken their hearts.
After sweeping away the snow and having breakfast, Zhang Tan took Xiaobai and prepared to go to Baijia Village to pay New Year's greetings to the old Bai people in the village.
Xiaobai went there with Zhang Tan last year and gave Zhang Tan a lot of bad ideas. As a result, Zhang Tan made many mistakes and called many people by the wrong seniority.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I saw her hands and feet moving quickly. She put on her little bag, put on her little cotton hat and little gloves, and got ready to go out with the old man. Suddenly, she
Seeing that Xi'er didn't move, she was sitting quietly on the sofa, leaning against the fire with her sister, but her eyes were always staring at her. Wherever she went, Xi'er would see everything.
Suck--
Xi'er sniffed.
"Xiwa, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up, we are going to celebrate the New Year."
When Xi'er heard this, her eyes seemed to light up, and she was eager to get up and follow her. However, she glanced at Zhang Tan uneasily, waiting for something. Finally, Zhang Tan said, "That Xi'er baby, what are you doing standing there in a daze?
, hurry up and get ready, let’s go to celebrate the New Year together.”
Xi'er's last worry was finally resolved. She jumped up and down, also put on her own bag, a small cotton hat and small gloves. These things were all the same as Xiao Bai's.
Teacher Jiang prepared New Year gifts for them. In order to complete the trip, Zhang Tan carried a lot of things with his left and right hands. Even Xiaobai and Xier were not spared, and the two little followers had to help carry things. They
I plan to stop at Bai Jianping's house first, put down these things, and then visit Baijia Village one by one.
"hiahiahia~~~Sister, I have to leave. I want to go to pay New Year's greetings."
Before Xi'er left, she excitedly waved goodbye to Tan Jin'er.
Tan Jin'er told her to be good, obedient, and polite. When she meets adults, whether she knows them or not, men are called uncles and women are called aunties.
Zhang Tan took Xiaobai and Xi'er and were about to go out when suddenly someone came into the yard. When he saw it, it was Dunzi and his father who came to pay New Year's greetings.
"Happy New Year, Dunzi!"
Xiaobai jumped out first, put her arm around Dunzi's shoulders, and asked Dunzi to follow her later to say New Year greetings.
"Happy New Year, brother Dunzi!"
Xi'er also wanted Lou Dunzi's shoulders, but she was small and could only reach them by standing on tiptoes, so Dunzi squatted down slightly. Xi'er smiled hiahily and jumped up from behind. She actually hugged Dunzi's neck and jumped up.
On your back!
Little Tan Xier, who had been planning for a long time, finally got to ride a pony on the first day of the new year.
