The Spring Festival Gala is a must-see. Except for Xie Chong, everyone is full of expectations for this Gala.
The dumplings were only made after the New Year's Eve dinner. They were packed and eaten the next morning. That afternoon, Feng Yuzhen prepared ten coins, rinsed them, and cooked them in boiling water, completely disinfected them.
After that, she would wrap the coins in the dumplings.
In addition, they also have to make a lot of things in dumplings, each with different symbolic meanings. For example, jujubes represent early rise, chestnuts represent efforts, candy represents sweetness, and money is definitely a symbol of wealth.
.
Xie Chong was very interested, and he also wanted to make dumplings. But he could neither roll out dumpling skins nor pinch dumplings. Feng Yuzhen asked him to concentrate on watching TV. Xie Chong shook his head and said, "We don't watch it very much."
Xie Ying asked curiously: "If you don't watch the party on New Year's Eve, then what are you doing?"
"My parents and their friends play mahjong all night." Xie Chong said: "All foreigners who work hard in Guangzhou, and they used to gather at my house for the New Year."
I'm afraid only the couple spent this year's New Year. I don't know how they were doing? Is there any place to stay? Will you have something delicious on New Year's Eve?
The Xie family sighed at the same time, hoping that the couple could solve the problem smoothly and come back early to reunite.
"Quick, it's starting!"
Xie Ying jumped on the kang excitedly and stared at every dancer intently. Maybe she would see her mother in it. A few years ago, Xie Ying found her mother in the opening dance.
.Mom also said that she usually has her in the opening dance. Xie Ying misses her mother so much. If she can see her on TV, that's fine!
The opening song and dance ended, Xie Ying was very disappointed. Although she was still watching the sketch, she was already distracted. Xie Chong couldn't stand it and didn't know where the funny points of those sketches were. It would be better to go out and play for a while! Hua Tianlong happened to be
He called him at the door, and he immediately jumped off the kang and ran out like a whirlwind.
Hua Tianlong bought a lot of firecrackers and made an appointment with two good friends to play together. Wang Haochuan was in a bad mood and was indifferent. Xie Chong took the initiative to care about his friends and said, "It's the New Year, why are you unhappy?"
Hua Tianlong said first: "Don't ask him, he is not happy every time he celebrates the Chinese New Year."
"Why? What's wrong with the New Year?"
Wang Haochuan said in a muffled voice: "You have food, drink, fun, and new clothes during the New Year... But during the New Year, my family only has endless quarrels and cold wars."
Xie Chong was even more curious, but Wang Haochuan didn't give him the chance to ask: "Where is Xiaoying? Why didn't she come out to play?" "Oh, she was watching TV, saying she wanted to see her mother on TV."
Hua Tianlong threw the cannon hard and said, "If I had such a mother, I wouldn't miss her. No matter how glorious she is, she wouldn't come back to see me all year round. Such a mother is no different from not.
”
After falling a few cannons, Wang Haochuan ran to the main hall, lay on the door frame of the main hall, and invited Xie Ying: "Xiaoying, come out and play for a while."
"Who is playing on New Year's Eve?! You guys play, I want to watch TV."
“It will be replayed tomorrow!”
"I can watch TV today and play with you tomorrow."
Wang Haochuan stubbornly invited, "But it's dawn, it's not fun to set off fireworks."
Wang Haochuan lay on the door frame, like a pitiful kitten. Moreover, he was still wearing the dirty clothes, with obvious stains on his collar. He should have taken a shower, but he did not change his new clothes.
.
Every time she saw him, Xie Ying felt soft. She agreed to Wang Haochuan's invitation and jumped off the kang briskly. The adults took turns to remind her not to go out and just play in the yard.
Xie Ying said without looking back: "You might as well tie a rope around my neck, just like a puppy, tie me in the yard!"
Wang Haochuan grabbed her braid and whispered: "You are indeed like a little lion dog."
Xie Ying cooperated and put her hands on her chest and yelled twice. Wang Haochuan was amused. He showed a smile from the bottom of his heart for the first time since his sister's winter vacation.
Xie Chong and Hua Tianlong were competing for whose "little goldfish" were louder. The two shouted, shaking their arms hard, almost breaking them. Because Xie Ying was in front of her, Hua Tianlong's performance was unprecedentedly high.
, more forceful than usual. He sneaked at Xie Ying from time to time, but Xie Ying didn't look at him at all. She sat on the steps of the main hall and played "Didijin'er" with Wang Haochuan.
Hua Tianlong was unwilling to give up and shouted: "Xie Ying, come and be the referee. Which one of your brothers or me is more loud?!"
Xie Ying had a blank expression on her face: "You are so bored."
Hua Tianlong was discouraged and didn't want to compete with Xie Chong anymore.
Xie Ying turned her head and said to Wang Haochuan: "You are different from them, you are much more stable than them."
Wang Haochuan could only smile bitterly.
Xie Ying asked, "Did you have dinner tonight?"
"It's considered eating."
"My house stewed big bones, grandpa made fried lamb with onion, beef sauce, and..."
"Okay, don't greed for me anymore, I'm drooling." "Then... what did you eat?"
"Hey... it's almost the same as usual."
Xie Ying ran back to the kitchen, took out a few large mohuas and handed them to Wang Haochuan. "The other dishes are cold, but the mohuas are still soft. This mohua is very delicious. If you don't believe it, try it."
"...I'm here to play with you, not to beg for food."
"But you can't go hungry on New Year's Eve!"
Wang Haochuan has a strong sense of self-esteem. If someone else gave him something to eat, he probably wouldn't accept it. Not only that, he would also be angry. But Xie Ying gave him delicious food, he was not angry at all, because except for her sister.
In addition, Xie Ying is the one who cares most about whether he has enough food.
"Xiaoying, I didn't eat good food, but I'm full. You can send the mohua back, and I'll come to your house for free some food somewhere else."
Xie Ying was very obedient and did not force him to sit back. She asked with concern: "Where is Sister Jingyi at home?"
"Here. If my sister ran away, I wouldn't have the heart to come out to play."
"Your family... are quarreling again?"
"Hey..." Wang Haochuan said melancholy: "When did my sister come back? My family has been peaceful? Which festival has my family been quiet? But I don't blame my sister at all, she is the hardest."
"Sister Jingyi... won't she cry again, right?"
"I've stopped crying for a long time, my home is quiet. Hua Tianlong called me out to play, and I'll come out. Otherwise, it would be too boring to stay at home."
"Hua Tianlong is smart. Maybe he heard the movements in your house and knew that you were in a bad mood. He specifically called you out to play."
"Maybe. The Chinese New Year is in such a bad mood, maybe only our family is here."
Xie Ying said: "But your family is still together, how great it is. Unlike me, my father passed away and my mother doesn't want me."
A bunch of fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the brilliant light shone on everyone's face. Wang Haochuan asked, "Xiaoying, are you sad?"
“A little…”
Judging from her expression, she should not be a little sad, but very sad. Maybe because she missed her parents, she would not be able to sleep all night.
Wang Haochuan said: "Or, let's just throw the cannon like Hua Tianlong and others! Let's see who fell the loudest."
Xie Ying was lazy and didn't want to move, so she was pulled up by Wang Haochuan. As soon as Xie Ying joined, Hua Tianlong became energetic again. She ran home and moved out all his inventory. There were about a hundred units.
The monkeys who flew around the sky, about ten boxes of small goldfish, and several bundles of "Didijin'er", Hua Tianlong said heroically: "Let's have fun! I'll treat you!"
