After posting the couplets, Zhao Xuan went to feed the ewe that was kept in the warehouse, and then took the three puppies who had already run around like they were having fun.

Zhao Chen was chopping firewood in the yard, Zhang Xu was already preparing lunch early in the morning, and Zhang Xu was responsible for doing it on the small bench watching the fire with a full stomach.Cao Rui was obedient, so he could do whatever Zhang Xu asked him to do. This kid had already fetched water, killed the chicken, and cleaned the fish. Now he was using an ax to chop open the pig bones that Zhao Chen bought.

It is said that it is to prepare lunch, and the meal is basically in the afternoon, because there is no dinner in the thirty-thirty custom, and the last dumpling will be eaten at midnight, and the family will eat around a round table.Afraid of being hungry at night, I have to eat a little later for lunch.Inevitably, the lunch is also prepared a lot.

Zhang Xu's food is pretty good, as long as he prepares enough ingredients, he can cook the food incomparably delicious.Stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pork liver, and counted more than a dozen of them. If the family had the conditions, he let go of his hands to do it.There are a few dishes in the custom that he prepares with great care, such as pig feet, lettuce, and a braised fish with whole beard and tail.It must also be the front paws, and the rear paws must be kicked back, that is to plan the money out.Zhao Chen likes to eat pig's trotters. In the past, he liked to buy one when he had nothing to do. This time for Chinese New Year, Zhao Chen bought ten at once. Now there are five people in the family, two of them. Of course he knows that Zhang Xu doesn't like it. Xuan was too lazy to pick the bones, and they would all end up in his mouth.

Lettuce, making money, with this homonym to make people happy, almost every household will get some lettuce.Green vegetables can't be kept in winter, so we can only pickle them while they are still tender or dry them to eat in winter.

Zhao Chen’s house has an earth dragon, and the house is warm. When Zhang Xu was at the old man’s house, he took a broken wooden box from the old man’s house, filled it with soil, and sprinkled a layer of lettuce seeds. When Zhao Chen moved, he put the box of lettuce I also moved here, and it's growing quite well in the house.So they can still have a fresh meal today.

As for the stewed fish in braised sauce, it must be served with the whole tail, and it must be served with the whole tail. You can't move it on the [-]th day, and you have to keep the rest until tomorrow, which means that there will be more than one year after year.

While chopping wood, Zhao Chen listened to Zhang Xu and Cao Rui talking about it, feeling that this custom is bothersome and interesting.After all, it wasn't him who prepared the food, and he happily borrowed his aunt's hand to ask for a good explanation.

Zhao Xuan was in a hurry, and came back just in time for lunch with his three sons, he ate with his mouth full, until he stretched out his stomach on the chair and said he couldn't eat any more, and he couldn't bear to put down the chicken thighs in his hand .

"If you can't eat it at night, who will snatch it from you?"

Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth and grunted, still reluctant to part with the meat around his mouth, and unable to eat it, he frowned and complained: "Then I'll eat it later."

Zhao Chen couldn't laugh or cry at this appearance: "The family is short of your meat, and a chicken leg is still eyeing."

Zhao Xuan licked his lips, and the little brat suddenly said: "I didn't eat it before, but now I see it and I want to eat it in my stomach. The master said, this is what I eat in my mouth is my own!" The house is a little sad.

Zhao Chen slapped Zhao Xuan on the head: "Then there are so many things you haven't eaten, and you still want to eat enough? And the last sentence, I still don't believe it, that's what your master said! ?”

Zhao Xuan rubbed his head and said sincerely: "Think! Brother, can you stop hitting me on the head all the time." He muttered, and then said, "The last sentence was said by Zhou Tai, but I think it's right!"

Zhao Chen snorted, and slapped him on the head again: "I'll just hit you, bah, Zhou Tai was originally a well-behaved guy, I think it's because he's been with you for a long time, and his words don't sound right anymore. !" After filling a bowl of sheep tripe soup, Zhao Chen took a sip comfortably, curled his lips, "If you want to eat, then you can make money by yourself, run around the river, and if you have money, you can eat whatever you want."

Zhao Xuan held his mouth and continued to rub his head in aggrieved manner. He didn't dare to resist, and he paid attention to his brother's words: "Brother, why do I have to run around if I want to eat?"

"Look, the fish on the seaside are only delicious if they are made by the people on the seashore. If you don't go to the seaside, you won't be able to eat authentic fish, isn't it meaningless?" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Xuan thought for a while and said, "Then can't the cook on the beach prepare it and send it to me?"

Zhao Chen also wondered why there were so many problems with the dead child. Zhang Xu said, "I'll bring it to you when it's ready. If the food is spoiled, can I still eat it?"

Zhao Chen interfaced: "Yes. That's it!" Seeing that Zhao Xuan still wanted to ask, he quickly said, "Don't ask the cook to come over. If you want the cook to bring the fish to cook for you, the fish is not fresh anymore. Get out, I didn't mean to go to Zhou Tai!"

Zhao Xuan grumbled, knowing that Zhao Chen disliked him, he reluctantly glanced at the drumstick again, and hurried away.

Grandma Zhang Xu asked Cao Rui to chop meat and vegetables to make dumplings, Grandma Zhang Xu went to make noodles, and Zhang Xu went back to the house to sleep.Now he likes to feel sleepy after eating, so he always has to squat on the kang for a while.

It was half dark, and the little children in the village began to run around in the streets, joking and running to other people's yards to say "Gong Xi Fa Cai". According to the rules and conditions, when the children started, they would give each child a big money, and then give them a bag full of delicious food. If the family conditions are average, they should also pack a handful of melon seeds and peanuts.Every Chinese New Year, the children in the village can make a small fortune, and then buy some food that they don't usually eat from the vendors who come to the village to sell snacks in the first month.Aunt Zhang Xu prepared the snacks a long time ago, and after a while, a group of children came, and when the door opened, they shouted congratulations and fortune.Ama Zhang Xu gave each of them a copper coin, and then asked them to grab food from the big table in the kitchen.

The Zhao family ate a lot this year. Dried meat, candies, and some exquisite pastries were all over the table. A group of youngsters ate in their mouths, held them in their pockets, and looked at the table reluctantly. of.

Looking at this group, Zhao Chen wondered if his son would become one of the leaders here in the future. Thinking about it this way, he originally disliked this group of children for being unattractive, but now he feels that this is called innocence!

Before the group of children left, Zhang Xu also woke up. He lit a small candle in Zhao Xuan's fat carp lantern, and Zhao Xuan happily ran to follow the group of children to other people's homes.

Zhang Xu was pregnant with the child and couldn't get hungry, so he went to the kitchen to take out the leftovers that Zhang Xu's mother picked out at noon, and ate half full, then sat on the round table with Zhang Xu's mother to make dumplings.

Zhao Chen didn't know how to make dumplings, so he tried to roll out the dough, and Cao Rui rolled it out nicely, like a small white lotus leaf.What he rolled out was flat and slender like a miniature insole.After being laughed at by Zhang Xu, Zhao Chen rubbed his nose, and then covered the tip of his nose with white flour. Even Zhang Xu couldn't help laughing at him this time. Seeing Zhang Xu's smile, Zhao Chen simply turned his face I didn't wash it anymore, just wandering around the house like this.

Not knowing how to make dumplings, Zhao Chen went to find something else to make.Shopkeeper Wanda sent a lot of things, miscellaneous, everything, and Zhao Chen also found two red lanterns inside.He took the lantern and hung it at the gate of his house, and lit the candles, which were very red and festive.

Zhao Chen went to tidy up the kitchen again. In fact, Zhang Xu had already cleaned it up, so he just went to take a look.

After a while, Zhao Xuan came back. Normally, he fell asleep early, so he played crazy today and came back a little late.The appearance was not quite right, the good new clothes were torn, and there was a lot of mud, and there was a bruise on the face, Zhao Chen immediately asked: "What's wrong, did you go out to fight?"

Zhao Xuan is a human skin, some people in the village don't like seeing him live well, and occasionally they want to make trouble, but this kid also has a bandit spirit, so he waved his big hand to tell Zhao Chen not to care, what are those people, he can solve it himself.

Zhao Chen really didn't care about it, anyway, it was just small troubles, nothing serious.Going back to Zhao Xuan to show off to him after winning the battle, and he taught so and so a lesson!The opponent who hit him was crying and screaming, and he promised not to trouble him!

It's strange today, Zhao Xuan didn't ask him to show off, and rushed into his room like a cannonball and didn't come out.

Zhao Chen followed into the room, just to see the brat changing clothes with his naked body.

"Is this a loss in a fight? Are you going to hide in the house and not go out?" Zhao Xuan's body is fair, without any scars, it seems that he has not been bullied.

A pair of small eyebrows twisted into caterpillars, Zhao Xuan said: "How can I lose, brother, you can't just ruin my reputation!"

Still famous?

Zhao Chen raised his brows, and was too lazy to talk to him when he was on the kang. When he confessed, Zhao Xuan twitched and said, "I didn't lose, I just beat a little brother..."

"Oh, I've been able to, now my little brother dares to bully me." Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Xuan straightened his neck and said loudly: "How did I know he was a little brother? I only found out after I finished the fight!"

The younger brothers in the village don’t have their ears pierced. At first glance, they are no different from the boys. Zhao Xuan started a fight with him, and it was fierce. He was about to go down with a fist while riding on the younger brother’s waist , A few unruly boys over there surrounded Zhao Xuan and shouted: "Oh, oh, Zhao Xuan is bullying the little brother, Zhao Xuan is shameless, he only knows how to beat the little brother!"

As soon as Zhao Xuan was stupid, the fist didn't go down, and the thief came down from the person aggrieved.He said angrily: "Why don't you say you are brother." The little brother shrugged his head, cautiously not daring to say anything.

Zhao Chen asked, "Then why did you beat him?"

"Didn't he rob me of the lantern?" Zhao Chen remembered that this kid didn't bring a lantern with him when he came back. Zhao Xuan said, "Although someone else asked him to grab it, the lantern belongs to me, and I can't just let him take it away." Grab it."

"Then you are right, just hit it."

"Isn't that a little brother?"

"So you lost the lantern to others?"

Zhao Xuan said depressedly: "I didn't want to give it at first, but Zhou Tai said, that little brother is not doing well, the two little guys behind him always bully him, if I don't give him the lantern, this little brother will suffer Beat him, I thought he was beaten by me, if he was beaten by those two boys again, it would be so painful." He gritted his teeth and took a breath, Zhao Xuan seemed to be beaten, "So I'll give it to him."

Zhao Chen was delighted: "Now that I'm old enough, I know how to feel sorry for my little brother."

Zhao Xuan raised his chin and said proudly: "Zhou Tai said, I am kind-hearted!"

"Come on, you, I'll be proud of you with a few compliments!"

Zhao Xuan immediately became honest, and looked at Zhao Chen slyly: "Brother, my lantern is gone, you can buy me another one."

"The lantern I asked you to send out?" Zhao Xuan shook his head foolishly, Zhao Chen bared his teeth, "Then I'll buy you a fart!? You gave it yourself, you deserve it because you don't have a lantern to play with."

Zhao Xuan frowned: "Brother, I'll go get the lantern back again, can he return it to me?"

Zhao Chen doesn't even want to talk to him anymore, this is a heartless son of a bitch!

Zhao Xuan was a little hungry. The dumplings at midnight hadn't arrived yet. The child climbed onto the kang and waited for the meal, his head was biting.Zhao Chen simply let him sleep for a while, and called him after dinner in the evening.

At the end of Si time and the beginning of noon, the wrapped dumplings were placed on the stove and waited for midnight to start cooking. Aunt Zhang Xu took out the brazier and paper money, and lit them in the yard. When the fire was at its peak, Zhao Chen helped Zhang Xu He knelt down and kowtowed three times to pay homage to his ancestors, and then called Zhao Xuan to kowtow three times. The boy didn't wake up, and he still squinted his eyes when he kowtowed.In the end, Cao Rui knelt down and kowtowed to pay homage to his father.As soon as Cao Rui knelt down, tears began to fall down.Let Ama Zhang Xu hold her in her arms and persuade her for a long time.

Zhao Chen originally wanted to kowtow to his previous life "Zhao Chen", but then he thought about it, that guy left him with a lot of troubles, and said that he has encountered so many unsatisfactory things since he passed through to the present, which one is not because of him ?

Kowtow to him?

Pooh!

As soon as midnight arrived, firecrackers started to sound in the village. Ama Zhang Xu urged Zhao Chen to set off firecrackers, and then urged Cao Rui and Zhao Xuan to go to the yard to bring back the firewood that Zhao Chen chopped during the day. Even Zhang Xu was urged by his aunt to go out to pick up two firewood and come back.

Holding firewood, this is called holding money, and it is also a custom. Zhao Chen lit the firecrackers and went to bring a bundle of firewood back, only to find out that he had chopped firewood all morning and said so.

Firecrackers were set off, the firewood was finished, and the dumplings were already out of the pot. The dumplings were shaped like ingots, and there was a saying about the stuffing. You must eat cabbage stuffing.Cabbage leads to wealth.

Zhao Chen listened to the customs all day today, and they were basically linked to money. He only felt that he had eaten a lot of money.Thinking about the days when he had no money, he suddenly wondered, when the ancients invented these customs, were they as poor and crazy as he was back then, thinking about money in everything they did! ?

After eating the dumplings, Zhao Xuan started to watch the night. When Zhao Xuan ate the dumplings, he was already on the table, and almost got under the table, so he simply asked Zhao Chen to hug the kang and go to sleep.Zhang Xu took a nap in the afternoon, but he is not sleepy now. After a busy day, Cao Rui and Zhang Xu yawned non-stop.

Zhao Chen asked the two to go to bed, but neither of them refused.In the end, he nestled on a kang and talked, and as he talked, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Zhao Chen looked around and saw that there were people lying all over the kang, and he and Zhang Xu were the only ones awake.

"Brother Xu, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Zhao Chen asked.

Zhang Xu said, "Zhao Chen, Happy New Year."

Zhao Chen responded, "Happy New Year."
