The days of retirement with the singing queen

On New Year's Day, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers came from outside the house again.

However, the continuous sound does not make people feel noisy, but instead makes people feel festive and lively.

Zhang Suxin woke up in Lu Anzhi's arms and saw Lu Anzhi opening his eyes in a daze. She smiled softly, pecked Lu Anzhi on the cheek and said, "Happy New Year."

Lu Anzhi said: "Happy New Year...my arm is numb."

Zhang Suxin sat up quickly, her messy hair falling from her shoulders.

Lu Anzhi rubbed his arm, raised his hand to smooth Zhang Suxin's hair, and then was slapped away by Zhang Suxin: "Don't touch it!"

The two got up and got dressed. When they left the bedroom, they saw that Xianxian had woken up and was moving a bench to the edge of the balcony. She stood on the bench and looked outside.

The balcony at Zhang Suxin’s parents’ home is not a floor-to-ceiling window. She was so slender that she could not see outside the window, so she brought a bench over, stood on the bench and pressed it against the window, so that she could see the outside world.

"Xianxian, what are you doing?"

Zhang Suxin asked Xianxian Road.

Only then did Xianxian turn around. Her small nose was slightly red because it had been pressed against the glass.

"There's a firecracker outside."

The little guy pointed out the window and said to Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin.

Zhang Suxin walked to the window and looked out the window. She corrected Xianxian with a smile: "It's not that there is one firecracker, it's that there are many firecrackers."

So the little guy said: "There are many firecrackers outside."

It seems that this "one" cannot be corrected easily.

Lu Anzhi also walked over and tried to correct Xianxian several times, but the little guy always mentioned the word "a" and refused to delete it.

The couple had no choice but to give up.

Lu Anzhi asked Xianxian, "Is it nice to set off firecrackers?"

Xianxian said: "It looks good."

Lu Anzhi asked: "How about we go outside and watch the firecrackers set off?"

Xianxian shrank her neck and said, "No! It's a little scary outside, but Xianxian is here to watch."

Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin both laughed.

Soon after breakfast was ready, Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin called Xianxian to the restaurant for dinner. After the family had breakfast, Miao Suqin returned to the bedroom, took out a red envelope, and said with a smile: "Xianxian, come here and kowtow to grandma."

Zhang Yuzhi objected: "Old feudal, why are you kowtowing!"

Miao Suqin said: "What is feudal or not? Just celebrate the New Year by kowtowing and giving red envelopes. There is a form."

Zhang Yuzhi was going to say it again, but Xianxian ran over without thinking.

Miao Suqin was ready, sitting on the chair, waiting for Xianxian with a red envelope in both hands.

However, the little guy did not stop in front of the Miao Suqin Temple. Instead, he ran over and knelt down in the corner of the kitchen. He turned around and said, "Come here, let's kowtow together."

Both Miao Suqin and Zhang Yuzhi laughed.

Miao Suqin explained to Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin: "Xianxian woke up with me this morning. After I got up, I burned incense and kowtowed at home, and she followed me and kowtowed next to me."

Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile: "Look at you, you teach Xianxian some feudal dross."

Miao Suqin retorted: "What feudal dregs? It's just a custom. We are not praying to gods or Buddhas."

Zhang Yuzhi didn't say much.

"Come on Nuan Nuo, come on Nu Nuo."

The little guy was still calling out. Miao Suqin had no choice but to walk over and kneel down side by side with Xianxian towards the Guanyin statue draped in red cloth in the corner, put her hands on the ground and nodded slightly twice.

Xianxian also followed suit and put her hands on the ground, nodding and nodding again.

This seems to be a formality, not a real kowtow.

Lu Anzhi did not expect that between his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, the father-in-law seemed so serious and old-fashioned, but he did not care much about traditions. On the contrary, the mother-in-law was so cheerful, taught music, and still abided by traditional customs.

However, Miao Suqin no longer forced Xianxian to kowtow to her, and gave the red envelope to Xianxian.

Xianxian took the red envelope and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Suxin said: "This is a red envelope containing money. It contains the money grandma gave you. Thank you grandma quickly."

Xianxian's eyes lit up and she said, "It's money! Can I buy toys?"

Zhang Suxin said: "Yes, you can buy toys. Can Xianxian give the money to her mother and she will keep it for you? If you have any toys you want to play with in the future, mother will buy them for you."

"Uh-huh."

Xianxian nodded, obediently handed the red envelope to Zhang Suxin, and then went to say to Miao Suqin, "Thank you for bothering me."

"Well, Xianxian is so good!"

Miao Suqin was very happy, picked up the little guy and gave him a kiss.

Xianxian chuckled.

Miao Suqin hugged Xianxian and sat down on the chair. She sighed with emotion and said, "It's been three years. The Chinese New Year at home has not been so lively for a long time."

Zhang Suxin was silent for a moment, pursed her lips, and then said: "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom..."

Zhang Yuzhi said: "What can you say about being sorry when you are celebrating the New Year?" He glared at Miao Suqin and said, "You said you are the same, you are celebrating the New Year, why are you saying this?"

Miao Suqin hurriedly smiled and said: "That's right, blame me, it's better now. It's Chinese New Year, so there's no need to mention it before."

Lu Anzhi said: "From now on, we will have such a lively New Year every year. We will all celebrate New Year together like this from now on."

Zhang Yuzhi and Miao Suqin both laughed and said, "Yes, this is the right thing to do."

Now that the family is harmonious, the daughter and son-in-law are not worried about their careers, and the granddaughter is so cute, why should we still remember the past three years? The bustle and bustle every year from now on is really exciting.

During this Chinese New Year, not only Zhang Yuzhi and Miao Suqin gave red envelopes to their daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, but Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin also gave the couple a thick red envelope.

The old couple kept saying no, and just let the young couple live a good life, but Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin insisted on stuffing the red envelopes, saying that it was their sincere intention, and if they were celebrating the New Year, don't give in. The old couple accepted the red envelope.

Miao Suqin asked Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin, "Have you prepared the red envelopes? We will have a dinner tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and relatives will come over. You are already married, so you have to give out lucky money."

Zhang Suxin said: "Don't worry, Mom, you have reminded me so many times, I am ready. Just a little more."

Lu Anzhi asked: "When did you prepare it? Why didn't I know?"

Zhang Suxin said: "I prepared it when you and Xiaoqin participated in the show in the capital. Unfortunately, I am not in Haidu this year, so I can't get a red envelope for Aunt Gu. She also has a grandson, and I would give it to her grandson in previous years. A red envelope."

Lu Anzhi said: "Speaking of which, Sister Wang also has a grandson at home. We will make up for it when we return to the sea."

Zhang Suxin nodded and said, "Yes."

"Crack!"

There were firecrackers outside again, and they continued for a long time. Zhang Yuzhi said with a smile: "It's a nearby company. Every year in the past two years, countless whips have been fired during the Chinese New Year, and the sound lasts for half a day."

Xianxian's eyes lit up and she said, "Xianxian wants to watch the whipping!" But now she suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.
