"Now my parents and others who know the truth have become more and more nervous since I have repeatedly bombarded them. It seems that nothing that happens to me is surprising. After all, things like the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West have happened. What else can surprise them?"

"After paying New Year's greetings to my grandparents, I received two more red envelopes."

"Today is a happy day for children, they will receive lucky money."

It’s different for mom and dad. They have to give us New Year’s money and also give red envelopes to our grandparents. This is the price of being an adult.

Ding ding ding, the phone rang.

"Hey?"

Ling'er, I wish you a happy new year, prosperity, and good luck to the God of Wealth.

Ouch! Ji Chengfeng's mouth suddenly became sweet. Has he received further training?

"Thank you. I also wish you a happy new year and prosperity. I hope you will be handsome every day and all your wishes will come true."

"Sister Yue Ling, Happy New Year. I miss you so much. I wanted to go to your house, but my parents wouldn't let me come. I haven't seen you for a long time. Sister Yue Ling, have you forgotten the lovely and cute Ling'er?"

"Hearing Ling'er's voice on the other end of the phone, and listening to her coquettish, cute and funny tone, I really like her."

Xiao Ling'er, sister misses you too. Has our Xiao Ling'er grown taller? Hasn't she become more and more lovely and beautiful? Sister Yue Ling wishes you a happy new year. I wish our Xiao Ling'er can eat whatever she wants in the new year, won't get fat no matter how much she eats, has good luck when she goes out, and everything goes well.

"Thank you, thank you Sister Yue Ling."

Brother, did you hear that? Sister Yue Ling said she missed me and praised me as a little beauty. I am more likable than you. I am not as cold as you.

Looking at his little sister, with her smug and disdainful eyes, Ji Chengfeng felt for a moment that he really couldn't have this sister anymore. She was actually competing with her brother for his girlfriend. Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you in the future.

"Listening to the other end of the phone, the brother and sister were talking back and forth, talking about what interesting things had happened recently, where they had traveled, what delicious food they had made for the New Year, and how much New Year's money they had received."

...

Time passed so quickly, and before I knew it, an hour or two had gone by.

During the call, my parents also joined us, and we talked about the locals, the different customs and food in each city. We also thanked Ji Chengfeng and his family for the two large packages they sent us, so that we could taste the local specialties even though we were thousands of miles away from the capital.

Especially parents were constantly amused by Xiao Ling'er's clever and quirky personality, and said that they were too far away and must come to play for a few days next holiday. There must be delicious food and, of course, red envelopes.

Ling'er was so amused that she was very excited. She kept saying on the phone that she liked her uncles and aunts, and her brothers and sisters, and that she would definitely go to her uncle's house next time.

Welcome, welcome. Our door is always open and you are always welcome.

As everyone was chatting more and more excited, it finally came to an end, but everyone also agreed that they would visit each other's homes when they have time and would definitely welcome each other with open arms.

……

After the call, it was time for lunch.

At this moment, the house is also crowded with people. Some people who are hungry have gone home early to make lunch. The remaining people either get together to play Landlord, Poker, Pai Gow, or play Mahjong, watch the Spring Festival Gala and chat.

In our place, the most important things during the Chinese New Year are breakfast and dinner, because we have to offer sacrifices to the dead, and we can just keep it simple at noon.

Fortunately, a lot of cooked food was prepared yesterday. All it needs to be is slightly heated up and some vegetables fried, and it can be served on the table. But don’t think that lunch is simple because there is no need for a sacrificial offering. After all, it is the Chinese New Year, and so many delicious foods are prepared to be eaten.

The vegetables are stir-fried in a frying pan, and then one delicious dish after another comes out, perfect and just right.

Everyone was quite perceptive. Before the food was served, the crowd slowly dispersed and prepared to go home for dinner. Only a few children, grandparents, and cousins ​​were left. As for my second uncle and his wife, they had already gone home to cook.

It was New Year's Day, and they felt embarrassed to have eaten so many fruits, peanuts, melon seeds and snacks at the host's house, so they had to wait until they went back to the host's house to eat.

……

Please help me get the chopsticks and bowls and prepare to eat.

After being led by grandpa and grandma to their seats, everyone started to move when they said let's eat.

The dinner table was filled with flattery and praise from the children.

Uncle, the food in your house is so delicious, and your mother’s cooking skills are also very good. It tastes better than the food cooked by my parents at home. You guys are really great, he said while giving a thumbs up.

That serious little look, the way he imitates adults talking, is really funny.

This child is really good at speaking. I just wonder if his parents will complain if they hear him. But at this moment, I am quite proud to hear his cooking skills praised. Even if he is such a young child, isn't it said that children don't lie? Then he must be telling the truth. After all, you can tell whether the cooking skills are good or not by looking at the way everyone is working hard at the table.

During this period of time, the children in the village have become rebellious. Every one of them likes to run to our house, saying that they want to be good children to their parents. This makes every parent very angry. These naughty kids are really hopeless.

Because of the stuttering, even their own parents abandoned them. So during this period of time, these children were often taught by their parents to appreciate their parents' love. After all, there is a saying that goes, "A son will not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not despise his family's poverty."

No matter how much you envy other people's lives, it is still theirs, not yours.

This is really infuriating and funny. Parents also feel sad that they have not created a comfortable future for their children, making them envy other people's lives since childhood.

But as I said before, in this era, in this era where everyone can easily be satisfied with just one dollar, everyone will be happy as long as they have a new piece of clothing to wear.

After being educated, these children all realize that their words are imperfect and will hurt their parents' feelings. After all, it is really not easy for their parents to raise them.

When there are delicious food at home, keep it close to the children; when there are new clothes to wear, keep them close to the children.

When conditions permit, everyone wants to give the best to their children, because they have suffered themselves, and they want to hold an umbrella and provide a sky for their children.

These children have become more sensible. Although they still like to come to our house, they like the snacks we have more. The words they said casually before are no longer heard now.

At a young age, they have also begun to learn to be considerate of their parents, understand their parents, respect their parents, love their parents, share some of the housework with their parents, and work hard to improve their academic performance to make their parents happy and proud, and to ensure that their hard work and efforts are not in vain.
