Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 134 New Year's Eve Dinner

"Don't play too late, we'll have lunch later."

Yang Shuning watched the three little ones getting ready to go out, and did not forget to give them a warning.

"Okay, we know!"

As the leader of the three little ones, Yang Shuhao responded to Yang Shuning without looking back.

Although he was given a huge sum of ten yuan, Yang Shuning was really not too worried. Yang Shuhao had always been rich and had no bad habits except for poor grades, but there was no need for him to go astray.

As for fighting with classmates, it doesn't matter at all in this era, and it's not the future. Children are all very valuable. The children of some chiefs still fight every day, and it doesn't affect their future advancement to high positions. .

Young and frivolous refers to people of Yang Shuhao's age. In the words of later generations, it is the rebellious stage.

Looking at Yang Jiandong who was already sleeping soundly and his adorable appearance, Yang Shuning was filled with the desire to make progress.For the sake of his appearance, he has to continue to work hard and move up.

Not long after Yang Shuning and the others finished buying firecrackers, the third aunt prepared lunch.

In the afternoon, as Wang Xue and Yang's mother went home one after another, the house became lively.Yang's mother, third aunt, and Yang Shuwen prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Wang Xue and Ding Qiunan brought small watermelons, and the three little ones set off the firecrackers they just bought in the morning.

Yang Shuning also came to the kitchen, mixed the corn flour with water and rice bran, and then took out about a pound of earthworms dug by the two brothers of the Zhu family to repay their kindness and repay their kindness, and fed the eight old hens.

I picked up the eggs from the chicken coop. Although the winter in Beijing is cold, the hens have chicken coops and earthworms to supplement their nutrition. There are still eggs every day, but they are much smaller, and each hen is not There are eggs every day.

Since Uncle San's family came to Beijing, the number of old hens in the family has also increased to eight.With eight old hens, the Yang Shuning family never lacks eggs.Many times, he was used as a favor by Yang's mother and Yang Shuning.

Originally, the old hens mainly ate rotten vegetable leaves and earthworms, with corn flour and rice bran as supplements. But today was New Year's Eve, and Yang Shuning rarely gave the old hens a luxury.Let’s celebrate the New Year for the old hens!
"Xiao Hao, Xiao Ming, go and set off the firecrackers. After setting off the firecrackers, we will have the New Year's Eve dinner."

Mother Yang ordered the two youngest boys in the family to set off firecrackers.

In fact, according to the tradition of her hometown, the New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten before eating. However, Yang's mother is originally from Qingdao. Their family has been in the capital for many years, and many customs have been assimilated.

Even this year's New Year's Eve dinner will be held according to the old rules of the capital. Originally, when the third uncle's family came to the capital this year, they should follow the customs of their hometown. Unfortunately, the capital is located in the north, and many vegetables from the hometown are not available.

The so-called old rule for New Year's Eve dinner in Beijing is "four and four bottoms", that is, four cold dishes, four hot stir-fried dishes, four meat dishes, and four soup dishes, that is, sixteen dishes. Except for soup, the dishes are four cold and eight hot. That means everything is stable.

And sixteen is the first six, and six means smoothness (six and six are all smooth), and the first six means smoothness. I hope everything will go well in the coming year.As for the specific dishes, it depends on the family's conditions. Those who are rich will eat something expensive, and those who are not rich will eat something relatively expensive. In short, it will be better than what they usually eat.At a quick glance, the dishes prepared by Mother Yang and Third Aunt are not cheap. Tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner can kill 90.00% of the families in Sijiu City. Today’s table of dishes does not cost 15 yuan, but it is really worth it. Not coming down.

There were twelve people in the family, and Yang Jiandong was put on the crib before it was time to eat.

As Yang Shuhao and Yang Shuming finished setting off the firecrackers, a family of eleven people sat down around the big round table.

Mother Yang, the oldest elder in the family, raised the drink cup in her hand and said:
"This year our family has a new baby, Qiu Nan has entered the family, Xue'er has given birth to Little Watermelon, his third uncle's family has come to the capital again, Ning'er and Chen'er have been promoted again, our Yang family is getting more and more prosperous."

"Cheers to a better future for our family!"

After Mother Yang finished speaking, she drank all the Arctic Ocean in the cup. After hearing Mother Yang's speech, the family members also drank the contents of the cup one after another.Liquor of liquor, Arctic Ocean of Arctic Ocean.

After all, there were a lot of people in the house, especially Yang Shuhao and Yang Shuming, two and a half young men with great appetites. Everyone ate all the sixteen dishes, leaving only a few bottoms in the end.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yang's mother took the lead in taking out the red envelopes she had prepared long ago and gave them to several children at home who were not at work.Each person's red envelope bag contained two yuan, and the three little ones were so happy that they beamed with joy.The same is true for the third uncle, but it is only one yuan per person. After all, the third uncle's family is not rich, and his income is not as high as Yang's mother.

Several female compatriots were cleaning up in the kitchen, while the male compatriots returned to the main living room.Today is the New Year's Eve. It is said that there is a custom of keeping the New Year's Eve, so naturally you can't go to bed now. Even if you sleep now, you can't sleep. There are the sounds of firecrackers setting off everywhere outside, making everyone's brains hurt.

As for the three little ones, their pockets were full of firecrackers, and they asked Yang Shuning to light an incense stick for each of them so that they could set off firecrackers.There is no such thing as a disposable lighter now. Using matches to light firecrackers is not only too luxurious but also inconvenient. Using incense is the best way.Use the incense tip to light the fuse of the firecracker, which is convenient and safe.

The same situation is basically the same for other families in the courtyard. Except for the children who go out to set off cannons in the streets, the adults stay at home and chat with their families to keep up the New Year's Eve.

Yang Shuning took out two cards from the cabinet and gathered four people together to play poker to pass the time.However, because Wang Xue had to stay with Xiao Xigua, she didn't have to stay up late, so she and Xiao Xigua went back to the room to rest early.The same is true for Yang Shuyi.

Because they usually go to bed early, everyone starts to feel depressed after ten o'clock. When the family finally makes it to twelve o'clock, Yang's mother asks Yang Shuhao and Yang Shuming to set off a bunch of firecrackers, and the family goes back to their respective places. Room for sleeping.

Because Yang Shuning was too tired, she returned to the room and looked at Wang Xue who was sleeping soundly. Although her breasts were half exposed, it made Yang Shuning a little fanciful, but because she was too sleepy, Yang Shuning stopped thinking and went to sleep peacefully.

When Yang Shuning woke up on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was already past eight o'clock.No matter for whatever reason, Yang Shuning can be regarded as taking a lazy sleep in this era.Don't think that eight o'clock is too early. You should know that these days, you usually get up after five o'clock. After eight o'clock, you can already sleep in.

Thinking that he had to pay New Year's greetings to Yang's mother and third uncle and third aunt, Yang Shuning's sleep instantly disappeared without a trace. He turned over and climbed out of bed. He took the new clothes handed over by Wang Xue, quickly put them on, and simply washed up. Afterwards, I gave New Year greetings to Yang’s mother and the other three.
