Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 177 New Year's money, quiet date

On the first day of the new year, the sky was not very bright, and the sound of firecrackers outside was crackling.

In the east room of the Lu family, Anan was the first to wake up. With the dim light, he saw that his mother had slipped into his father's bed at some point, leaving only his younger sister on his side.

younger sister……

Anan grinned, turned around and looked at his sleeping sister attentively.My sister is still young, and the pillow she sleeps on is also very small and flat.The younger sister was wearing a pink dress, which was prettier than his. The first time I saw my younger sister wearing it, Anan asked his mother to make one for him too. The mother said he was a kid, and wearing pink made people laugh.

Anan touched his younger sister's pink clothes, because the younger sister was lying with her back to him, Anan wanted to see her face, so he arched his body and leaned towards her. Just as he was supporting the quilt on the other side with one hand, the jade pendant in his arms suddenly fell out and hit him. My sister's chin...

Anan didn't dare to move anymore, staring at his sister nervously.

Guo'er frowned when her brother moved around, her jaw was smashed, the little girl pursed her lips and opened her eyes.

"Does it hurt?" Anan asked softly, touching his sister's chin.

Guo'er didn't understand what his brother was talking about, and felt something slipped under his neck. Guo'er looked down and saw a white jade pendant.Guo'er recognized that it was a good thing of her brother, she grabbed it with a smile, and touched it curiously.

"Sister, turn around." Anan's shoulders were exposed, a little cold, and he lay down slowly, and asked his sister to turn around to play with the jade pendant.

Guo'er turned around obediently.

Anan helped his sister cover up the quilt in a dignified way.

"Bull!" Guo'er nodded at the jade pendant in her hand, looked at her brother and said.

"Daddy said it's a unicorn, not a cow." Anan didn't know how many times he explained it to his silly sister.

Guo'er looked at her brother, her little red mouth twitched, probably because she couldn't tell the unicorn, and she shouted with certainty: "Bull!"

She held the small jade pendant in both hands, looked at it over and over, and stuffed it into her mouth from time to time, making it drool all over.

The two brothers and sisters muttered to each other, Lu Chengningxiang woke up, turned around and watched the two children play together.

"Cannon!" Suddenly, several firecrackers sounded from the courtyard of Deng's house next door, intermittently, it should be set off by the child himself, Guo'er immediately let go of his brother's jade pendant, and pointed outside in shock.

"Our family also has firecrackers, and my brother will set them off for you later, there are more than them!" Anan stuffed the jade pendant covered with his sister's saliva into his clothes, and said proudly.

"Guo'er is awake?" Lu Cheng lay behind his wife, raised his head and smiled at the siblings.

Hearing her father's voice, Guo'er turned over excitedly, seeing that her father and mother were awake, she happily crawled over there.

Anan followed unwillingly.

Ning Xiang squeezed her husband back to make room for the siblings, Lu Cheng twisted the back of her head, and resignedly got out of bed.

"It's the first day of the new year, Ananguo'er is going to pay New Year's greetings to mother, and after the New Year's greetings, I will give you lucky money." Ning Xiang said with her arms around her son and daughter.

"Happy Chinese New Year, mother!" Ananfeng said sweetly with bright eyes.

Guo'er remembered, hugged her mother and yelled "Okay" softly.

Ningxiang smiled and took out two red cloth bags embroidered with little tigers that had been prepared long ago from between the couple's pillows, and distributed one to each of them.Guo'er hugged the cloth belt foolishly and looked at the little tiger on it. After all, Anan was old enough to understand the meaning of lucky money better. He untied the bag with a smile, chubby grabbed it with his hand, and pulled out a bunch of new copper coins.

"How many does Anan count?" Lu Cheng stood up and put on his trousers, bowed his head and asked his son while fastening his belt.

"Five!" Anan finished counting quickly, then raised his head and answered his father.

"Do you know why there are five?" Lu Cheng continued to ask.

"Because I'm five years old!" Anan said smartly.

Lu Cheng smiled and exchanged glances with his wife.When discussing how much lucky money to give last night, Ning Xiang was afraid that his son would think it was too little, but such a big child would be happy if he had lucky money, so how could he have so many thoughts? When he was young, he was so happy to give a copper coin.

Anan didn't dislike it, Guo'er followed his brother's example and took out two copper coins strung together from the cloth belt, then looked at his brother's, blinked his eyes, and looked at his mother suspiciously.

"Guo'er is two years old, so he has two copper coins." Ning Xiang nodded her daughter's face and said.Fortunately, this is calculated according to the false age, otherwise the little girl who has not passed her first birthday would not have a copper coin?

Guo'er didn't understand her mother's reasoning, turned her head, and suddenly grabbed her brother's bag and snatched it into her arms, then handed her over.

"Well, I'll trade with my sister!" Anan said generously, and even touched his sister's head, and said to his sister who looked at him with a vigilant look as if he was afraid that he would snatch the purse back: "Guoer, get up quickly. Let's pay New Year's greetings to the second and third uncles, and I will give you all my brother's New Year's money!"

Guo'er was happy that her brother didn't fight her, and chased her brother out of the bed.

Ning Xiang got up quickly, she dressed her daughter, and Lu Cheng helped her son.The cotton-padded jacket and trousers are difficult to wear, and Anan can't wear them well.

After the cotton-padded jacket and trousers were put on, Anan jumped up and down on the kang excitedly, looked at the closet and said, "I want to wear new clothes!"

If Guo'er had less clothes, she would be able to stand up on her own, but now she is wrapped up like a ball, unable to stand up, sitting on the kang, clapping her hands, laughing with her eyes wide open, and shouting with her brother.

After changing into new clothes, Anan stood on the ground and was about to run out to pay New Year's greetings to his second and third uncles and aunts. Seeing that his brother had run away, Guo'er called out anxiously, but suddenly called his brother back, and finally Lu Cheng hugged him. Looking at the daughter wearing a rabbit fur hat, and holding the son in one hand, they went to ask the two brothers for new year's money.

Lu Yan was much more generous than Lu Cheng's own father, Amu Atao Ananguoer, each of them gave a two-dollar silver tiger.

This year is the Year of the Tiger.

What Lu Ding gave was also a silver tiger. He snatched it from his own brother. Who asked Lu Yan to bring back several of them...

The family's New Year's money was flattered, A Tao pushed the small wooden cart, and the four children went to the second room opposite to pay New Year's greetings.

After the New Year's greetings, the dumplings at home are also cooked.I made more dumplings on purpose last night. I ate a pot at that time, and I ate the rest this morning, so as not to waste time with bread dumplings in the morning.

It was cold, the family sat on the kang to eat, Ning Xiang looked at the rice bowls in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "I put peanut kernels in the two dumplings. We didn't eat them last night. Let's see who is the luckiest this time. Those who eat it will be lucky this year."

When she said this, the children became excited when they ate the dumplings. Anan knelt down in front of the table, holding the bowl in one hand, and sandwiched the chopsticks in half with the other. He ate the dumplings without seeing the peanut kernels. Drop it, and clip another one.

Guo'er was fed by her father, and her almond eyes swept over everyone curiously.

"Hey, I almost broke my teeth." Lu Yan suddenly put down his chopsticks and exaggeratedly covered his mouth and said.

Guo'er giggled.

"Did the second uncle eat peanut kernels?" Anan asked nervously.

Lu Yan nodded, deliberately chewed hard twice, and indeed he ate it.

Then there was only one peanut kernel left, Anan looked for it more seriously, the bowl was almost finished, and he really got it.

"I have it too!" Anan triumphantly picked up the peanut kernels and showed them off to his second uncle.

"Brother!" The second uncle didn't see the peanuts, but when he saw the elder brother's, the little girl stretched her neck and asked the elder brother to feed her.

Lu Cheng stopped his son who was about to feed his younger sister, and said with a smile, "A'nan can eat by himself, my younger sister can't chew it." He said with a piece of egg and fed it to his daughter.Guo'er didn't want to eat eggs, so Xing stared at his brother's peanut kernels intently, Lu Cheng coaxed skillfully: "Peanut kernels are too hard, my second uncle's teeth almost collapsed, Guoer only has six teeth, there must be more."

Guo'er seemed to understand. She rubbed her baby teeth and stopped craving eggs.

Many shops in the city opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Wu's Tea Shop was no exception, so Lu Yan returned to Fucheng in the afternoon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Lu Cheng's family went to relatives and friends' homes for a few meals, and because Guo'er turned sixteen, his family decided to have a big banquet on that day.

Lu Yansi came back at dusk and brought a few exquisite lanterns and hung them on the cherry tree for the children to see.

"Tomorrow night there will be a lantern festival in the town, will you go, brother and sister-in-law?"

During dinner, Lu Yan asked curiously.

"Go, last year your sister-in-law couldn't go out to enjoy the lantern while she was pregnant, so make it up for her this year." Lu Cheng looked at Ningxiang tenderly and said.

The two uncles were in front of her, and Ning Xiang stomped on him secretly, pretending to lower her head to coax her daughter, and said softly: "You go, I will coax Guoer at home." It was too cold, she was reluctant to take her daughter out to suffer from the cold, He couldn't bear to leave her at home alone.

"Go madam, you put the eldest lady to sleep, I will look at the eldest lady." Cui Ya said very wittily.

"I'm also watching my sister at home." Anan wanted to watch the lantern, but he wanted to play with his sister more.

Guo'er didn't know what they were talking about, and looked around stupidly.

Ning Xiang still wanted to refuse, but Lu Cheng made a final decision and insisted on her going.

Ning Xiang shot him a look, so she had to discuss and come back after a while.

After dinner, Guo'er went to bed early, coaxed her daughter well, told Anan not to wake up her younger sister, and Ning Xiang went out with her family uneasy.

A Tao ran to the second bedroom, and went shopping with her two cousins. Lu Cheng asked his second and third younger brothers to watch Amu, and he led his wife to go alone. He didn't know whether he was going to watch the lanterns or go to a small alley for excitement.Lu Yan absent-mindedly walked behind Lu Ding'amu, feeling that it was almost time for a watch, he shook his hands and found an excuse to slip away.

Zhou family.

Zhou Yu went back to the backyard early on the grounds of sleepiness, pretended to be asleep, and then sneaked to the back door, hiding in the corner and waiting for his sweetheart.There was no wind tonight, but the chill was overwhelming. Zhou Yu wrapped himself in the cloak, regretting that he had promised his cousin to meet him tonight.

Just as he was thinking, someone knocked lightly on the door panel.

Zhou Yu's heart beat faster, and he moved over in a panic, as if he heard her footsteps, and someone outside called her name in a low voice.

After confirming that it was her second cousin who came, Zhou Yu touched the door and whispered, "It's too cold, why don't you go back first, anyway, I'll see you tomorrow."

"I'll just stand here until you come out." Lu Yan said without negotiating.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to let him in fearfully.

The backyard of the Zhou family was very empty, and the two hid behind the firewood shed and started whispering, the sound of firecrackers came and went, and amidst the crackling sounds from far and near, the little girl's coquettish anger was intermittent, "Are you a pig?"

Dislike him for not having family.

It was only then that Lu Yan realized his shortcomings. Fortunately, he was smart and quick to learn everything, and it didn't take long for him to master the essentials.

"cold……"

Zhou Yu was upset again, and pulled her clothes tightly to prevent him from messing around, but the opportunity was rare, so Lu Yan went all out, put his big hands into his neck, covered her with heat, and then went to lift her clothes.Zhou Yu couldn't help his soft-heartedness, and acquiesced to him half-pushed.

"Ayu, shall we get married this year?" Lu Yan asked hoarsely, desperately wanting to marry her, wishing to have a bridal chamber tonight.

"I'm only fifteen." Zhou Yu leaned into his arms, and promised in his heart long ago, but refused to let him do so easily.

"Fifteen, it's not too young." Lu Yan leaned into her ear and said a pun, afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he stopped.

There were fireworks exploding in the distance, and it seemed that Zhou Yu's mind also exploded with gorgeous fireworks, so he pushed his hand away in shame, cursed and ran away.

Lu Yan didn't chase after him, he leaned his back against the wall to breathe calmly, secretly looking forward to tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night, my cousin lives at my house, does he want to be near the water?
