Stepmother from 1970: Uncle holds her in his arms and dotes on her day and night
Chapter 4 Celebrating New Year
the next day.
Yan Zhengting got up early.
After washing and dressing up, he took the gifts and went to his father's friend's house where he lived, preparing to wish him an early New Year.
As for the Qian family, Qian Yiman's two brothers also came back with their wives and children to prepare for the New Year.
Today, except for Qian Yiman's two sisters-in-law who stayed at home to take care of the children and cook, everyone else went out to buy new year's goods.
It is said that we are purchasing New Year's goods, but in fact there are not many things to buy. In this era of shortage of tickets and food, how can we buy so many things?
In the end, Qiongqi's family only managed to buy 20 kilograms of rice, three kilograms of pork, two cured chickens, one kilogram of sausages, and some vegetables and fruits.
Of course, Qian Mu gritted her teeth and bought some cakes and candies for the children to make snacks. After all, you can't treat the children badly by treating anyone badly.
You don't have to think about new clothes, there aren't that many cloth tickets to use.
After finishing the New Year's shopping, the family began to clean up inside and outside to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
In the few days before the New Year, Qian Yiman served as a tour guide and took Yan Zhengting almost all over Hangzhou. He tried all the scenic spots, local snacks and everything he could.
After many days of eating, drinking and having fun together, the two of them became familiar with each other and understood each other better. Now they are not as reserved and awkward when getting along with each other at the beginning.
……
New Year's Eve arrived as promised.
Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and there was a not too thick layer of snow on the ground.
But every household is bustling with activity, with people posting Spring Festival couplets, preparing New Year's Eve dinner, and children chasing and playing at the door, setting off firecrackers.
This era is different from modern times. The streets and alleys are filled with a strong flavor of the New Year. People have been busy all year long, as if just for this day of family reunion, and everyone has a smile on their face.
The Qian children were playing with small firecrackers at the door.
Qian's father and his two sons were picking and chopping vegetables, while Qian's mother and her two daughters-in-law were cooking in the kitchen.
Qian Yiman had never cooked much, so to avoid wasting ingredients, she was arranged to post Spring Festival couplets with Yan Zhengting.
Yan Zhengting practiced calligraphy with his grandfather since he was a child, so he can write well. At Father Qian’s warm invitation, this year’s Spring Festival couplets were handwritten by him.
He was also assigned the task of pasting Spring Festival couplets. He was tall enough that he didn't even need a ladder and could just stand at the door and post them.
Qian Yiman directed the height while handing him the paste, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, move it a little higher by two or three centimeters, yes, yes, that's almost it. That's it. Just stick it on..."
After posting the Spring Festival couplets, the two of them went to the door to play with their nephews. The family did not allow them to interfere in the kitchen.
Playing with children is really not an easy task. Qian Yiman was panting from exhaustion and quickly quit the game and stood on the side asking for a break.
"tired?"
"A bit, it's not an easy task to play with children. How old is your daughter?" Suddenly remembering that this man had a daughter, Qian Yiman asked smoothly.
"...I'll be thirteen after the new year." Yan Zhengting didn't expect that she would take the initiative to mention this matter, and she didn't seem to care at all. He was stunned for two seconds.
"It's better to have a daughter. Look at these brats who are very naughty and often get beaten. What's your daughter's name?" Qian Yiman continued to ask, this man is good, and she also wants to know more about his family.
"My name is Yan Jingqiu."
"Why is it called this name?"
"Because she was born in autumn, her grandfather gave her this name." When this daughter was born, he was still in the army. By the time he saw his daughter, she was already three months old and her household registration had been registered.
"Has she been studying in Kyoto?"
"Well, I live with her grandparents. I am in the army on weekdays and rarely have the opportunity to go back. I have no time to take care of her."
"Is there anything she particularly likes? I'll bring her a gift then..." Although she didn't intend to be as close as mother and daughter to his daughter, it would be best if they could coexist peacefully. of.
"No need to buy it specially. I have already prepared it for you. Girls just like those hairpin skirts and the like..." Yan Zhengting has already prepared such gifts.
"Then how can it be the same? I still have to prepare one myself for our first meeting, so I'll just watch and buy it myself." After all, she is also a stepmother, so the meeting gift is still indispensable.
"Then you can just buy whatever you want. You don't have to spend too much money." Yan Zhengting said again.
"It's time to eat!" The Qian family's sister-in-law shouted from the window.
"coming."
When the children heard that there was food, they stopped playing and rushed home one by one.
For the New Year's Eve dinner, there were several meat dishes on the table. The monkeys who were playing outside just now were all seated in front of the table.
There are ten dishes on the table, braised pork, pork ribs and radish soup, steamed cured chicken, steamed sausage, braised hairtail, steamed eel, fried cabbage, fried eggplant, braised winter melon, and sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings.
At the dinner table, Qian's father, his two brothers, and Yan Zhengting drank their home-brewed rice wine one glass at a time.
Qian Yiman, on the other hand, kept eating. He would be leaving home in a few days. He took this opportunity to eat more food at home. He would not be able to eat for a while.
After the meal, children’s favorite part is giving out new year’s money.
Father Qian and mother Qian gave a red envelope to each of their six grandchildren, as well as one to Qian Yiman and Yan Zhengting. Anyone in the Qian family who has not yet married can receive New Year's money.
Finally, Yan Zhengting also gave the children red envelopes that he had prepared long ago, each containing five yuan.
In addition, Qian Yiman was also given a red envelope containing ten banknotes, totaling one hundred yuan. It must be said that the man's actions were in line with her wishes.
The children received another red envelope from their future uncle today, and their mouths were twisted with joy.
"Mom will keep it for you and give it to you later." Of course, in the end, their mother took over one by one using the familiar tactic of keeping it for you.
"Hahaha..." Seeing the pained expressions of his nieces and nephews, Qian Yiman smiled unkindly.
I heard that every child in the country keeps their lucky money like this.
When Yan Zhengting came out of Qian's house, Qian Yiman still gave him a gift.
Crystal snowflakes fell on their clothes, and Qian Yiman suddenly felt that there was a hint of romance in an idol drama in the air.
The man walking in front suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
Qian Yiman asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
