Chapter 19
After seeing off Uncle Gao and the others, the Yun family got into a busy state.On the second day, Father Yun went to the homes of relatives and friends to invite, and said that he would come to the house to celebrate the fifth day of next year, and invited several elders to hold the ceremony at that time according to the custom.

After notifying relatives and friends, the family began to clean up and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

On the New Year's Eve, my father took Yun to the door to post Spring Festival couplets, and together they carried tributes to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors and gods.

In the evening, a family of three eats the New Year's Eve dinner early, and then goes to the yard to build a tower shape with coal. The locals call it Tower Fire, Wang Fire, and Stick Fire, which means that they hope that the coming year will be prosperous.

New Year's Eve is a day to get rid of the old and make new ones. How can we miss the New Year? The New Year is actually what we call keeping the year old.Common proverb: "Longevity for Lord Dong, longevity for Sui Niang."

The family turns on the lights in all the rooms. There is also a custom on New Year's Eve called the lights are always on. No matter the room is occupied or unoccupied, the lights must be lit, and the lights will last until dawn.This custom is related to the burning year in ancient times. The folk explanation is that the ever-burning lamp makes the surroundings bright, ghosts have nowhere to hide, and the family can be safe.One by one, today, it may also have the function of night scene lighting.

The family of three sat on the sofa in the living room, and Mother Yun filled the table with all kinds of dried fruit and snacks. While watching the Spring Festival Gala, they chatted and chatted, and suddenly Yun Liping was mentioned.

"Actually, Xiaoping has a boyfriend, and they are ready to talk about marriage. The two parents met last month, and they talked very well. Who knows that the other party's mother actually made excessive demands, saying that it was the dowry gift that the other party gave. Bian is about to double the dowry, and she said that her newly married niece also received the same dowry. Your Uncle Wei’s family has no way to make money, so there is no way to get a generous dowry.” After speaking, Mother Yun sighed.

"And then? What did her boyfriend say?"

"The most irritating thing is here. Her boyfriend actually pulled her aside and told their family to ask relatives to borrow it. Xiaoping exploded after hearing this, and asked him on the spot, how can I pay back the money?" The man actually said, of course your parents will pay back the dowry from your family. Xiaoping was so angry that she kicked them out, but it was later heard that it was blown."

"Then I still hit her like this today. Didn't I stab her in the wound? I'll apologize to her tomorrow!" Normally, the two of them quarreled and quarreled, but they still didn't say such hurtful words. Yes, although it was not intended to be seriously injured, but I also feel very sorry in my heart.

"Yeah, you need to change your temper. Everyone has grown up, and there are only a few brothers and sisters in the family. In the future, we will depend on you to watch over and help each other." Father Yun also beat Yun up at this time.

"Actually, it's better to find out about it earlier. This world is too realistic. Not only the woman asks for the dowry, but now even the man asks for a dowry. The cost of marriage is too high. No wonder more and more people choose to be single."

"Your Uncle Wei is still blaming himself. He feels that he has dragged his daughter back and failed to provide her with high-quality living conditions. Now he can't even afford a dowry. It's Xiaoping who comforts him, like this kind of materialistic Family, even if they are together in the future, they will not be happy."

"Who said it wasn't? Your father and a few uncles were going to give some more gift money first, but Xiaoping refused. She said that she didn't have to have him, and the world would go on without him, and life would go on as usual."

"It's a good thing that Si Cheng's family doesn't have these things. His parents didn't take care of him much before, and they have a new family, so they won't live with you in the future. Although there will be no help, it will save a lot of trouble."

"Well, parents, don't worry, I will be filial to you together with Brother Cheng."

"After you get married, have a baby early. While we are still young, we can take care of you for a few more years." Speaking of children, Mother Yun seemed to see the cute baby stretching out her hands to her, and she couldn't wait.

"Mom, there is no such thing, I want to play for a few more years."

"Your mother is right. Anyway, sooner or later, your mother and I will take you with you." When it came to the topic of the child, Father Yun couldn't bear to urge him.

Yun Qi really didn't think about the child's problem. When her parents told her, she wanted to have a child with the two of them, but she was afraid that she would not be able to provide a stable life for the child.Although she has space and cards now, the future world is unknown and unstable.Thinking about letting the child face such a world, Yun Qi's heart felt like a pair of big hands were tightening it, making her almost breathless.

"Xiao Qi, did you hear me talking to you?" Seeing Yun Qi standing there in a daze and not speaking, Mother Yun gently pushed her.

"Let's just let nature take its course." Yun Qi remembered that he had been with Si Cheng for a few years in his previous life, and he was not pregnant either. In [-], many medicines had expired, and there was no way to continue producing them. Many hospitals existed in name only, and those who could afford to see a doctor were those with special privileges.

Speaking of the child, Yun Qi remembered that the two of them did not incorporate the child into the plan, and that they did not plan to purchase the child's supplies, and remembered to write these down in the notepad when they returned to the room.

The time slowly came to eleven o'clock, and Mother Yun started to make dumplings, adjusted the fillings, rolled out the skins, and the family of three talked and laughed while making dumplings.Dumplings need to win some compliments, such as some broken silver or copper coins in the dumplings, which have been changed to steel buns, commonly known as grabbing gold, grabbing silver, as the saying goes, people who eat it will bring good luck in the New Year.

Mother Yun washed the freshly prepared dumplings and wrapped them in dumplings that only she knew had marked them. After they were cooked, she filled each bowl with dumplings wrapped in steel castings.Every year, the Yun family's father and daughter know it well, and they don't expose it. They say auspicious words there when they eat steel coins.

With the ringing of zero o'clock, the new year has arrived.They said congratulatory words to each other, and came to the yard together to light the prepared fireworks.Watching the sky full of fireworks blooming first, thinking about the coming disaster, I can't help but pray in my heart, hoping that my previous life was just a dream, and this kind of prosperity will last forever.

"I wish my parents a long life and good health." This is Yunqi's greatest wish. She knelt on the ground to pay respects to her parents for the new year according to the tradition, and received two red envelopes and blessings from her parents.

At this time, the phones started to get busy, Yun Qi picked up the phone, and heard the sound of New Year's greetings from Sicheng, mixed with Gao Jie's auspicious words.

Because then we all know that everyone is busy, and we have to give New Year greetings to elders, bosses, colleagues, relatives and friends.After saying a few words, they ended the call.
