Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so no one needed to go out to pay New Year greetings, and the women didn't need to cook. In addition, they slept late last night, so it wasn't until Rishang Sangan Brigade that there was little movement.

The fire can't be turned on today, so He Chunlan made a lot of extra cooking yesterday. There's enough to feed everyone, and there's still some left over for today.

I didn’t eat anything in the morning and had lunch directly. During the Chinese New Year, everyone doesn’t need to work, they all stay at home.

He Chunlan asked Zhang Pandi to light the fire and put yesterday's meal on the stove to heat it up.

We cook fish every Chinese New Year. Yesterday, we deliberately didn’t finish the fish because of the good meaning of having more than enough every year.

This is something that almost everyone looks forward to. Farmers who dig food in the fields don't have much money left all year round. It's a good thing to be able to fill their stomachs.

Because we couldn't go out to visit each other on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone stayed at home after dinner and didn't go out.

The adults gathered in the main room to warm themselves by the fire, chatting to kill time and saving firewood.

Then I threw a few sweet potatoes and potatoes into the fire. After chatting, the sweet potatoes and potatoes were also roasted. The timing was just right.

In the winter, this kind of life is comfortable. Everyone is enjoying the rare free time all year round.

Of course the children couldn't sit still. We can't visit each other, so we just play in the yard. Anyway, there are many children at home, so we can gather enough people to play any game we want.

There were not many firecrackers to begin with, and they had all been set off last night. I can only play some small games today.

Gu Li was older and couldn't play with the children at home, so he went in to do his homework early.

He has always studied hard, and his academic performance is among the best in the class. Even during the Chinese New Year, he does not give up the opportunity to improve himself and seizes the time to study.

As a brother with the same parents, Gu Zheng is not that fond of studying.

Of course, this isn't his problem either. Because during the Chinese New Year, except for Gu Li, no child in the family wanted to study. The only exception was Gu Li.

There is a big age gap between the children in the family. The younger children always want to play with the older children, but the older children dislike the younger children.

But there's nothing you can do about it. If you don't take your younger brothers and sisters to play with them, they will be scolded by adults.

But when you take them to play together, they are still too young to play many games.

After a final discussion, they decided to catch the chicken.

The rules of this game are not complicated, and it doesn’t matter if the children can’t remember them. They just need to follow the older brothers and sisters who are hens.

This way all the children in the family can participate. Little chicks like Gu Ning don't have a choice. They default to chicks.

After all, with small bodies like theirs, if they were hens, it goes without saying that the eagle would definitely win. If you become an eagle, the outcome goes without saying, the chicken will definitely win.

This makes the game less interesting, so only the older children have a choice.

They decided to use the simplest method, rock-paper-scissors, with the loser becoming the eagle.

Because in Little Chicken, little brats like Gu Ning are easily caught, so everyone modified the commonly used game rules.

Normally, whichever chicken is caught first will be the eagle in the next game.

But Gu Ning and the others couldn't win at all, so they had to play rock-paper-scissors in every game to decide who would be the eagle.

At the end of the afternoon, the children had a great time. Of course, we don’t play this game all the time, and we switch to other games in the middle, but only the older children participate.

Another game ended, and Gu Zheng called stop in time.

"Take a rest, I'm tired. I want to go get something to eat, do you want to come with me?"

The other children were also tired, so they all agreed.

"Okay, we want to eat too."

So everyone ran to the main room together and went to the adults to get some food.

Li Zi touched Gu Ning's head and felt sweat on her hands.

"Look at you, your head is covered with sweat."

He turned around and ordered Gu Xian again.

"Axian, go get me a towel and I'll wipe her sweat."

Gu Xian agreed, turned around and went to the room to get Gu Ning's towel.

Gigi Gigi took the towel and wiped the sweat from Gu Ning's face and neck.

"You can still sweat all over this winter, so have fun today."

"Well, happy."

Gu Ning nodded heavily.

"Just be happy. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Gigi Lai asked with concern.

"Well, I'm so hungry. Mom, I want to eat sweet potatoes. You are all eating them. They look so delicious."

Seeing this, Gu Xian used a wooden stick to pull out a sweet potato from the fire and put it aside to dry.

When it was no longer so hot, he picked it up, peeled it off and fed it to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning couldn't eat it directly because the sweet potato was still very hot. Gu Xian felt hot to hold it now, not to mention Gu Ning's delicate skin.

Children have different feelings about temperature than adults. What adults think is just right, children will feel hot. As a parent, you still have to pay attention at all times.

Gu Ning took a bite of Gu Xian's hand, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Wow, it's delicious. I've eaten sweet potatoes before, but they're not as delicious."

Gigi Gigi smiled.

"Of course, what you used to eat was steamed. Although they are both sweet potatoes, the taste of steamed and roasted ones is different. Roasted sweet potatoes are more delicious."

"Then I will eat roasted sweet potatoes from now on, not steamed sweet potatoes."

Happy time is always short, and the day passes quickly.

Today, the women also got a rare break and no longer had to take care of the family's meals. It's very simple to just heat up the food at night.

There was nothing to do, so everyone went to bed early on purpose. After all, tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when everyone returns to their parents’ homes.

Some people’s natal homes are far away, so they have to leave early, otherwise they won’t be able to return before dark. And if you go early, you can stay longer.

Many people may only return to their parents' home once a year, and they will cherish it.

The gifts you bring back to your natal family are also very important, as they determine your reputation in your natal family and also reflect your status in your husband's family.

Therefore, most people's gifts are not too thin. They usually give them according to their family situation. The gifts are not cheap for them.

Liu Chunyan, Zhang Pandi and Fang Xiaohong had prepared the gifts a few days ago, along with the New Year goods.

Fang Xiaohong's home is close, and it is much easier for her to return to her parents' home, so she is not as homesick as Liu Chunyan and Zhang Pandi.

But the families of Liu Chunyan and Zhang Pandi are relatively far apart, especially Liu Chunyan. If you go not early enough, you won’t be able to get back in time until dark.

So Liu Chunyan pulled Gu Mu up before dawn today.

Gigi Lai cannot return to her parents' home at all. It's not surprising to everyone. In their eyes, her parents are in Kyoto and Gigi Lai has no time to go back.

Although her parents were in the bullpen, Gigi Lai prepared things and planned to visit them today.

It's already bad that I can't spend the New Year with them on New Year's Eve. I can't help but visit them on the second day of the New Year and let them spend the New Year alone.
