Chapter 467
The Chinese New Year is coming, and the most frequent conversations among the children are what kind of New Year's goods are prepared at home, what delicious food they made, and other topics.

The girls asked more, such as buying ribbons, silk flowers, or learning new embroidery stitches.

That is to say, there are no special words in the children's mouth, but it is a basis for adults to judge how other people's New Year is going. This is inevitable, and everyone will always compare with each other.

And the conditions of the people living in this alley are good, not to mention that they are all officials, but there are also a lot of businessmen. At this time, the comparison is a novelty.

However, Gu Qingya seldom communicates with people, and she is not so clear about this kind of comparison under the table, and Feifei is probably the person who gets asked the most, but he is very careless, and he won't talk to him when he goes home. Parents said, so Gu Qingya really didn't know there was such a thing.

Not a native of the capital city, so on New Year's Eve, the custom of the family in the south is naturally preserved, worshiping ancestors.

After lunch, the children were busy washing clothes and hair, putting on new clothes and new jewelry and hats, and some children who couldn't wait ran to the street, and the laughter outside could be heard in the house .

Different from the south, the north is cold and hardly goes out at night, so the children can only stay in the house to watch the new year honestly at night, and can no longer play outside the house and then come back like the south.

Gu Qingya and Jiang Rongan didn't take care of themselves first, but wrapped red envelopes and sent them to Aunt Jiang Tingting and the others. This was not a New Year red envelope, but a year-end bonus to reward them for their years of hard work .

In the afternoon, after everyone washed and brushed, they dried their hair around the brazier in the house. If you don't dry your hair before tying it up in this cold weather, the moisture will get into your head, and it will be uncomfortable.

After tidying up, everyone gathered around for dinner at night, and this year Jiang Rongan and Gu Qingya decided to try hot pot. This is a trend that has become popular in the past two years, but it is very popular, and it is indeed a lot of fun.

Fearing that the new clothes would be tainted with smoke and fire, everyone changed into old clothes one after another. You and I have chopsticks, and we have lost the habit of eating and chatting while eating, but it took a full hour.

After removing the pots and pans, everyone sat on the kang, reading books or playing games, each doing their own thing, but not boring.

In the middle of the journey, Shuangshuang and Jiangjiang were young, unable to bear it, they fell asleep first, and then Guoguo Mian Feifei also fell asleep one after another. The five children lay in disorder on the kang, Gu Qingya smiled helplessly. Once they are straightened, cover the quilt.

When entering the house, it means that it is the New Year. Gu Qingya looked at Jiang Rong'an beside her, and said with a light smile, "Husband, happy new year, good luck and good health."

"The lady is too." Jiang Rongan held Gu Qingya's hand, "May every year have a future." Holding the other's hand and walking, this life is enough.

"Ma'am, everything is ready." Outside the door, the aunt called in a low voice.

Gu Qingya glanced at Jiang Rongan, "Wake up the children, I'll go out and have a look."

There is a custom of worshiping gods on New Year's Eve, early and late, when Gu Qingya went out, the courtyard was illuminated red and bright by the lanterns under the eaves, and an Eight Immortals table was placed in the middle, with dishes full of dishes placed on it , in addition to the preserved fresh fruits, there are also all kinds of dried fruit candied pastries, plus some cooked food they make, it can be said to be very rich.

Gu Qingya looked at it and was quite satisfied, "It's done." As soon as the words fell, I don't know which house set off fireworks, which exploded in the air, and a brilliant firework was reflected above the head.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." The children who were rubbing their eyes in displeasure at first became energetic and stared at the fireworks in the sky.

Jiang Rongan lit incense and worshiped first after cleaning his hands, followed by Gu Qingya and the five children, and then Aunt Jiang Tingting and the others.

After everyone finished lighting incense, Jiang Ting brought out two fireworks and two strings of firecrackers, and asked with a smile, "Which young master will follow me to set off firecrackers at the door?"

"I, I'll come, I'll come." Feifei immediately regained his energy and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Guoguo took her two younger sisters to look at it, but she stayed inside the door and dared not go out. Under the lantern, firecrackers were lit and crackling, and a strong smell of gunpowder rushed over. Shuangshuang and Jiangjiang immediately covered their noses run back.

Guoguo didn't know, so he also ran back, shouting as he ran, "Shuangshuang, Jiangjiang, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Sister, it smells so bad." Shuangshuang said, and even reached out and slapped her nose twice.

But at this time, Feifei rushed in like a little monkey, and shouted: "Hey, it's so fun, I really want to have two more strings."

Mianmian walked over silently, pulled Feifei aside, "Don't run around."

"Uncle Ting, just let off one of the fireworks, and save the other for tomorrow night." Jiang Rongan confessed.

After hearing this, Feifei felt a little depressed, "Father, why didn't you let them all go?"

Jiang Rongan just smiled and didn't speak.

Fireworks production technology is quite mature, but the price is not low, if you put two at once, you must also consider the identity and environment.And there are quite a few people setting off fireworks in the capital at this time, just watch it.

When the fireworks exploded in the air, everyone yelled in unison. The color of the explosion was more beautiful, with a larger range, and it was very gorgeous. Without blinking.

After the fireworks in her own house had finished burning, she looked at the fireworks set off by other houses in the sky. After watching for a quarter of an hour, Gu Qingya saw that the time was almost up, so she urged her child into the house. cold.

Jiang Rong'an bowed, and then Jiang Ting and the others would move the table to the hall of the inverted room and light candles all night.

Gu Qingya and Jiang Rong'an watched the children fast asleep on their respective beds, smiled at each other, and quietly put the red envelopes they had prepared under their pillows.

On the second day, when the cock crowed for the first time, someone was lighting firecrackers. Gu Qingya heard a crackling sound at the door of her house. fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, and I went out to wash up, and I saw five children sitting outside the room. When they saw me, they all got up and saluted themselves for the new year, "Mother, happy new year, I wish you good health and good luck As one wishes."

Gu Qingya couldn't help but narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Happy New Year to you too, your mouth is so sweet, have you eaten sweet soup?"

"Mother, I'm waiting for you to join me." Fei Fei said quickly, and ran to the door.

Shuangshuang and Jiangjiang came up to hold Gu Qingya's hand. When the mother and son went out, they saw Jiang Rong'an smiling at them in the yard, and Gu Qingya couldn't help but smile at each other.
