The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 157 Chapter 140

The two walked into the room, and saw Liu Caihua and Wang Jinzai making dumplings by making dumplings. Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji hurriedly washed their hands after seeing each other, and then mixed the stuffing and the dough. , hands and feet kept stretching up.

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "Longsheng, Wuji urged you to do this, right?"

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "Father, how did you know? How did you guess so accurately?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Longevity, as the saying goes, knowing a son is better than a father. Don't I know what you are like? If Wuji hadn't pushed you, I'm afraid you will never remember to do this in your life!"

Duan Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Father, won't people change? Why do you just use the old almanac to judge people?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Since you were young, you have been very quiet and do not move. When you grow up, you like to dance and write. A bit like me!

However, your brother has been diligent since he was a child. When your brother was young, he was very active and restless. He liked to do everything by himself. This is like your mother. Do you think your mother doesn’t like him? ? "

Duan Changsheng laughed and said: "Father, I also learn from my brother, and I also try to please my mother."

"Didn't your brother learn martial arts when he was older? This spear dancer is exactly what he wants, and this may be more like your mother's personality.

I can't blame your mother for liking him. He has been her little follower since he was a child, and he knows what your mother thinks.I'm afraid this is something you can't compare to. "

After hearing this, Liu Caihua shouted at Duan Yanqing: "Boss, do you have too much time to eat at noon?

Why don't you just sit there and provoke the relationship between our mother and son?Let me tell you that these two children are my own, I like both children, and I don't favor one over the other.

Longevity, you are the eldest son of your mother. As the saying goes: The family has the eldest son, and the state owns the minister. As the eldest son, you should worry about your family more, otherwise how can you be called the eldest son?

In the past two years, your brother has been trying to support this family. I believe you know that, if our family has not been supported by your brother in the past two years, what kind of mess might we be in now?

You see, in the past two years, your Tieniu brothers and Changhong and their brothers, which one of them didn't run to our house?You know why?This makes the birds fly to prosperous places. If your brothers don't have such great ability, they won't come here! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, don't talk about this, let's hurry up and make dumplings."

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "I'll wash your hands too. How wonderful it would be for the whole family to make dumplings together in harmony to keep the New Year's Eve together!"

There is not much time, and the dumplings are ready after a few rounds.The family happily watched the New Year while drinking tea. After the sun went down, Liu Caihua and Wang Jinhua cooked a pot of dumplings for everyone to eat. After eating, the family continued to watch the New Year and waited for the coming of the new year.

At midnight, there was continuous sound of firecrackers outside the house.Duan Yanqing saw it and said loudly to Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji: "Why aren't you two just standing there? Why don't you hurry out and set off firecrackers."

After hearing this, Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji immediately ran out, and then there was the sound of crackling firecrackers in the yard.

After setting off the firecrackers, the two walked in, and Duan Wuji said to his parents: "Father, mother, it's late at night now, let's rest for a while, and I will start the Five Classics later, when the New Year's greeting comes at one o'clock." If you don't have the energy, how bad is that?"

Duan Changsheng looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Damn, let me see how you release this pile of copper coins. Don't move any of them then!

If that's the case, you'll be ashamed of yourself. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's not terrible to be ashamed, if it can save money, then I would rather be ashamed.

Brother, you will know when the time comes. "

Duan Wuji said to his parents: "Father, mother, I went back to the West Wing to sleep, I stayed up all night."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji went back to the west wing room, Duan Wuji took off his clothes and fell asleep, and after a while Duan Wuji fell into a deep sleep.

When Duan Wuji woke up, it was already dawn, Duan Wuji quickly put on his clothes and walked into the main room.

I saw the whole family's new clothes were laid out on the kang, Duan Wuji took his new clothes and changed into them first.

Then, Duan Wuji looked at his father and elder brother and said: "Father, elder brother, while the meal is not cooked, hurry up and change into the new clothes, and you won't have to change after breakfast."

After hearing this, the two of them quickly took off their usual clothes and put on new clothes.

It wasn't long before the steaming dumplings were served, the family had breakfast, Liu Caihua and Wang Jinhua also changed into new clothes, and the family immediately became glamorous.

Duan Wuji looked at his mother and asked: "Mother! When did the new clothes arrive? Why don't I know?"

Willow cauliflower listened and smiled and said: "I made it the day before yesterday and sent it here. You were not at home at the time. Who knows what you did? Silly boy, think about it! How can there be new clothes made the previous year that can't be made well years ago?" ?

If that's the case, the business can't be done! "

Duan Wuji thought about it for the same reason, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I'll go and open the gate, the people who should come here for New Year's greetings will come."

Liucaihua laughed and said, "It will be sooner or later by the time you open the door, and the golden flower of the door has already opened. You just sit here and wait."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Is that so? This saves me trouble."

Duan Changsheng looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Damn, where are the people who came to my house to pay New Year's greetings? Why is there not one? I think your pile of copper coins is a waste of money, right?"

At this moment, the four long-term workers and their families came to pay New Year's greetings first. After several people kowtowed to say hello, they immediately called out their children to come over and greet Duan Yanqing's family one by one. A large plate of willow cauliflower was brought from the house Yandouer and a large plate of peanuts greeted the children and adults to come and grab them. No one was polite when they saw them, and everyone grabbed them and ate them one after another.

Duan Tingqing quickly grabbed a handful of copper coins and handed them out at the standard of [-] copper coins per child.

Duan Yanqing said with a smile: "Children, if you come to pay New Year's greetings today, I will give you some lucky money. In a few days, you can buy good things to eat."

The children were so happy when they heard that there was New Year's money, and they came over to pack up the New Year's money.

As soon as the four long-term workers left with their families, other families with their children came over to pay New Year's greetings.

Duan Yanqing distributed lucky money to the children according to the standard of [-] copper coins for boys and [-] copper coins for girls.

The whole big courtyard suddenly became lively.Until almost noon, the people who came gradually disappeared.

Duan Changsheng gave Duan Wuji a thumbs up in surprise.

"Brother, you are still taller, your calculations are really accurate, brother, I have completely convinced you today."

Duan Wuji smiled and said to Duan Changsheng: "Brother, take two bear paws and two ducks. Let's go to Duanjiaji to pay New Year's greetings. Go early and clear early. If you go too late, you won't be in time for lunch."

Liu Caihua smiled and said: "Wuji? Why, you still want to go to your third grandfather's house for dinner? Is our family's life bad?"

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Mom, it's not that I want to have lunch at my third grandfather's house, but my third grandfather's house insists on keeping us for dinner. What do you think I can do?"

"Really? Today I want to see if what you said is true. If you lie to your mother, let's see how I deal with you."

Duan Yanqing stood up and said to the family: "If this is the case, then what are we waiting for? Then let's leave quickly.

Changsheng, don't you rush to get things? "

Liucaihua looked at Wang Jinhua and said, "Jinhua, you should stay at home and look after the house, we are going to celebrate the New Year."

Wang Jinhua nodded.

"Mom, you go, there will be absolutely no mistakes at home."

Willow cauliflower nodded.

"Well, mother knows."

The family of four left the house and rushed straight to the third grandfather's house in Duanjiaji.
