Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

There are six bowls on the stove, each with exactly one chopstick and money skewers in the bottom.

Liu Yu picked up a bowl and poured two porcelain spoons of ginger, vinegar and spicy garlic sauce on it.

Pick and mix with chopsticks, and the aroma of garlic and vinegar will spread.

The Yuanbao dumplings in the pot rise and fall in the boiling water.

Everyone gathered around the stove, eating the skewers covered in juice in small bites. Nian held a big wooden spoon while pushing the dumplings floating in the pot.

With a loving smile, he looked at the people who were eagerly looking into the pot. When he saw Xiaoxue eating in a hurry, he hurriedly said a few words of comfort.

Changsheng put the table in the kitchen, and Nian filled the empty bowls with dumplings one by one.

Everyone picked up their own bowls, sat at the table, and began to eat happily.

The dumplings stuffed with chives and pork are fully stirred and blended, and the taste is very delicious. Take a bite of the dumplings and a sip of the soup. It's like a fairy.

"Be careful with your teeth when eating. I put a few lucky coins in the dumplings yesterday when I was making them. Don't chip your teeth!"

Nian took a sip of dumpling soup and said cheerfully.

When everyone heard this, they really slowed down in eating dumplings.

"I, I ate it!"

Xiaoxue slurred and gently spit out a copper coin from her mouth.

"Hey! Xiaoxue eats it first, she is the luckiest among us!"

Nian was busy praising Xiaoxue, whose face was filled with joy.

Then, Liu Yu also got a lucky coin, and Nian still praised it. When he reached the bottom of the bowl, Changsheng took a bite and bit into a hard dumpling.

"Haha, I have one too!"

Changsheng pushed the lucky money he bit out in front of Liu Yu.

"Good luck if you get lucky money, you are all blessed!"

This is the only time of the year that the dumplings on the first day of the new year are filled with lucky money, and those who eat the lucky money will be filled with good fortune in the new year.

In previous years, Nianshi always wrapped one lucky coin, but this year she placed three. Liu Yu and the others were quite good at holding the clean lucky coins.

"Grandma, I am the first to get lucky money, and I have better luck. I will give half of the blessing and luck to you and Grandpa!"

Xiaoxue held up the lucky money in her hand and was about to give it to Nian.

When Nian heard this, she couldn't help being stunned. She touched Xiaoxue's earlobe more lovingly and said with a smile, "It's a blessing that my great-grandmother is not suffering from disaster or illness. Xiaoxue can take it by herself!"

Xiaoxue was a little disappointed when she heard this. This was the happiest year she had ever had. She had new clothes to wear and a beautiful hair tie.

Yesterday, the elders gave me lucky money, and today I got even more lucky money.

She knew that the good life she had today was all due to her great-great-grandfather, her younger uncle, and her immortal uncle.

The younger uncle and the longevity uncle have their own blessings. She only hopes that her great-grandfather will live a long life.

When Xiaoxue saw Nian's refusal, she sighed softly, and then thought about how she would spend more time with her great-grandma and great-grandfather with the blessing money, and the more good luck she would get from the blessing money.

Looking at Xiaoxue who was happy again, Nian couldn't help laughing.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is about bringing good fortune and wealth.

Today you can't dump debris, splash water, open drawers, or use scissors.

Do not do anything with sharp objects or anything that could mean losing money.

After eating dumplings, the sky had turned gray and blue. Liu Yu and Changsheng found a piece of wood from the woodshed as a money tree and placed it across the fence gate.

Liu Meixiang put the peanuts and melon seeds into a small dustpan and put them on the square table in the main room, ready to give them to the people who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Occasionally there are firecrackers in the village, and it is already dark now. Eating dumplings at this time means that the family members have gotten up late.

People in the village will call you "lazy man" or "lazy woman", which means you will be one step behind others in everything in the coming year.

The gods in the sky have eaten enough from other people's offerings, so how can they still have the appetite to eat from their own family? This kind of laziness and desolation is abandoned by the gods.

Listening to the occasional sound of firecrackers, Nian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He also explained the rules to Liu Yu and Chang Sheng in detail. From now on, the family will be handed over to the two of them. They would rather work hard and be diligent than covet this moment of laziness, which would lead to a lack of abundant crops and poor livestock in the New Year.

Liu Yu and Changsheng looked at each other. Although they thought these words were a bit nonsense, they still nodded and listened.

After a while, it was already bright.

Brothers Liu Maolin and Liu Fan walked in through the snow and broken red.

Nian and Liu Fusheng sat in the middle. Liu Maolin and his brothers and nephews kowtowed to them three times in three rows.

After everyone said auspicious words, Nian took out the red envelope and handed out one to each person.

Seeing this, Xiaoxue also hurriedly ran from the courtyard to Nian's face, and there were three heads of bang bang bang, which only made everyone laugh.

"good!"

Nian gave Xiaoxue a red envelope with a loving look on her face and pointed at Liu Maolin: "Kowtow to your grandpa and ask him to give you a big red envelope!"

Xiaoxue turned to look at Liu Maolin, and saw that her grandfather was different from the cold and solemn person she had seen before, so she walked up to Liu Maolin in a polite manner, said the auspicious words she learned from Goudan, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Good boy, get up. Look, your clothes are all dirty!"

Liu Maolin helped Xiaoxue up and Guo took out a red envelope from his arms.

Xiaoxue touched a small hard red bump and felt that it was a little different from what her grandma had given her. She felt a little overwhelmed and gave it to Liu Meixiang who was standing behind her.

Liu Meixiang took it and touched it, her heart moved. She looked up and saw her father shaking his head at her and putting it into his arms calmly.

He smiled at Xiaoxue and said, "Mom, keep it for you first and save it to buy you candies later."

Seeing Xiaoxue's cuteness and cuteness, Liu Maoye became a little greedy when she thought of the monkey cub at home, so she quickly took out the red envelope she had prepared in advance, and Xiaoxue sweetly called her "Grandpa" in exchange for it.

"Okay, you guys go and pay New Year's greetings to the clan leader and elders first. It would be rude to wait any longer!"

Nian waved his hand, interrupting the Liu Fan brothers' attempt to tease Xiaoxue.

After saying that, he was about to leave after seeing a few people. Nian saw Liu Yu and Changsheng chatting in small words again.

Pointing at the two of them, he said, "Take them both with you. Now that A'yu is married, it's time to kowtow to the clan leader and the grandparents in the clan."

After saying that, he explained some of the worldly affairs between the two of them in detail.

Liu Yu's face felt a little bitter as she listened.

When he saw the somewhat dazed Chang Sheng beside him, he straightened his back again. After all, these people were still members of his race, at least they were familiar with each other.

I am afraid that the villagers are just familiar faces to Changsheng, and I am afraid that they have not spoken a few words to them.

Liu Yu looked at Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye who were walking in front, and made up his mind to follow them.

When it's time to kowtow, when it's time to joke, glance at Liu Fan who is talking happily.

He is not alone, there are three brothers accompanying him.

The first stop for these people was the patriarch's house. The patriarch was one generation higher than Liu Fusheng, so Liu Yu and the others kowtowed without any pressure.

After several people finished kowtowing, the clan leader's granddaughter-in-law hurriedly brought out melon seeds to greet several people.

Liu Yu and others grabbed a few, chatted and left to go to the next house.
