Cheng Mingli shook his head, "I didn't ask, but I just sent some rice, noodles and meat, and dad will take care of it."

It's not a formal apprenticeship, so you don't need to give six gifts, just get by with it; in my hometown, there are conventions and standards, and you can ask about the customary increase or decrease in gifts to gentlemen in the northwest.

"Brother, you are the one who went to school, not daddy." Mingyi held her forehead. Silly brother still had room for improvement in his worldly sophistication.

Cheng Mingli looked confused, "What do you mean, sister?"

"You are entering school, so you must prepare an entrance gift yourself to show your sincerity."

"Prepare it yourself?" Cheng Mingli still didn't turn around, "Dad also prepared it for me at my hometown private school. What kind of gift can I prepare to send there?"

Mingyi choked, he was really a dear brother, he clearly choked her unintentionally but choked her so much.

"Brother, think about it for a moment. If my father is a scholar or even a scholar, and two people come to enroll in school; one is a Shuxiu prepared by his family, and the other is a Shuxiu prepared by himself, who would you like more?"

Cheng Mingli suddenly realized, no need to think about it, he must like the thoughtful person.

"I understand, thank you sister for reminding me."

"It's good that you understand. Brother still has to learn in this aspect. The second is to use mental tricks. Take your time."

Cheng Mingli pursed his lips and smiled, "Listen to my sister."

"Think more about what you would do if you were in someone else's shoes, and slowly hone your character and planning skills."

Empathy does not mean that you must do better than others. The real purpose is to hone your own character, your ability to see people, and cultivate your character.

With Mingyi's advice, Cheng Mingli immediately went to find his father, "Dad, I want to prepare the entrance ceremony myself."

"." Cheng Yuanxi looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingli said: "To show my sincerity to Mr. Yu, I would like to prepare an entrance gift for Mr. Yu myself."

My son has grown up!

Cheng Yuanxi was filled with emotion, but when he saw his son's firm look on his face, he turned a corner and couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Who gave you the trick?"

Cheng Mingli smiled sheepishly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from my father. My sister told me."

"How much effort do you have, and your father still doesn't know it?"

"I didn't think enough about it before, but I'll think more about it in the future." I can't let my sister remind me about everything.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded. A son is not as good as a daughter. After all, he is his biological son, so he doesn't dislike her.

"If you want to prepare it by yourself, I will take you to Fucheng to buy it after the new year."

"Thank you dad."

On the first day of the New Year, the first thing I do when I get up early in the morning is go around the elders to pay New Year greetings and receive red envelopes.

After going around, Mingyi got four red envelopes, from her grandparents, the first bedroom, the second bedroom, and their third bedroom, which was exactly four.

The same is true for Cheng Mingli and Cheng Mingyue. As Cheng Mingyi and others get older, they no longer have any red envelopes.

Paying New Year greetings is the first meal of the new year.

Big glutinous rice dumplings made from glutinous rice. Two dumplings fill a bowl. They are big and round.

Mingyi only pulled out the memory of the original owner from the depths of his memory, and would eat it once every year on New Year's Day. In the low living standards of ancient times, their Cheng family was not wealthy, and it was enough to eat glutinous rice dumplings. rare.

Recalling the taste in her memory, she cut the big glutinous rice balls into four pieces and ate them slowly; they were soft, glutinous, sweet, and had a little sesame inside, so they were particularly fragrant.

This was the first time she had eaten glutinous rice balls with this kind of taste, and she couldn't help but eat more. She ate ten of them in one go, which scared Cheng Yuanxi and his wife to death.

When she was about to go to Sheng again, she hurriedly stopped people. "My dear, you've eaten enough, be careful not to digest it." Chen Daya said worriedly.

Cheng Yuanxi echoed from the side, "Daughter! Can we eat at noon?"

Thinking that the child is small and made of glutinous rice, they are afraid that the child will eat it.

"Dad, Mom, I can still eat it." It's really delicious. It contains sugar, fried sesame seeds, lard, and peanuts. It's fragrant and sweet. The more I eat it, the more I want to eat it.

Cheng Yuanxi and his wife did not dare to let her eat anymore, so they took the bowl and chopsticks from her hand and sent her out to play.

Cheng Dazhu looked at it with a smile, "Yiyi likes to eat, so do it in the future; don't eat it once and it will hurt, ask your mother to make it for you more often in the future."

Luo Cuihua's face darkened, she wanted to make whatever she wanted, but glutinous rice was very expensive; they only ate it once a year, how could they make it often? As soon as the words came to her lips, Luo Cuihua suddenly woke up when she saw Cheng Dazhu smiling and kind-hearted.

Mingyi is now the treasure of the family, and her husband is holding her in her arms and coaxing her; she has genuine love for her, but also some scheming.

"Okay, thank you, grandpa." Mingyi handed the bowl and chopsticks to her mother. Her smiling face was rosy and shiny. During this period, she gained some fat and gained baby fat. Now her smile is sweet and soft, and she is very cute. .

Cheng Dazhu smiled even more heartily, "Be good, go out and play with your brothers."

When they come to the northwest, they can't visit their graves. Their ancestral graves are in their hometown, and it's unknown whether they can go back in this life.

There was a New Year's greeting today. Before leaving, Mingyi brought a coarse cloth messenger bag that she had prepared in advance.

Cheng Mingli and others were surprised when they saw it, but it matched the red linen clothes she wore today. It was just a small pocket, so they didn't ask much.

Mingyi took her brother and asked several cousins ​​to form a team to pay New Year greetings; this was also a special New Year event, and the younger generations of each family formed teams to pay New Year greetings to the elders in the clan.

"Ming Li!"

"Mingli, Mingyi, are you going to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Mingyi, Mingzhi, wise, Mingxin, Mingli, Mingyi, are you going to the patriarch's uncle's house?"

After walking out of the house, I didn't go far before I met my peers from various teams.

This posture has the potential to summon friends.

"Mingjing, Happy New Year to all brothers and sisters. We are planning to go to the patriarch's house, and then to the village chief's grandpa's house." As the eldest brother, Cheng Mingyi answered with a smile, "You are also going to the patriarch's house?"

"Yes! We are going too, and we just happen to go together."

"Let's go." Cheng Mingyi shouted cheerfully, turning to glance at Ming Li and Ming Yi while following the large group, "Ming Li, Yi Yi, keep up, don't fall behind."

Mingyi smiled and nodded, "I know, I can't throw it away."

"You can't lose it within the clan, but not necessarily outside~" A girl aged 12 or 13 looked sideways and teased, "Our family Yiyi is so good-looking, many people will miss her when she grows up."

"Sister Mingru, your mouth can still speak."

The little sister next to her joked: "Our family Yiyi is indeed born well, so she is young, otherwise! I would be jealous; we are all sisters from the same clan, why are there so many differences?"

"You little black charcoal, there's no point in being jealous."

"Oh, if Sister Da Ya doesn't tell the truth, we are still sisters."

"I'm going to tell the truth, Xiao Hei Tan, Xiao Hei Tan, hahaha."

A group of people were chatting and laughing, but Mingyi was stunned without saying a word. Three women were performing a drama, and there were countless scenes in her ears. The chatter was endless. Everyone was in a good mood during the New Year and looked forward to a good year in the coming year. Looking forward to the delicious food and drink during the Chinese New Year, naturally I have endless things to talk about.
