Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 200 New Years
Dipping in garlic sauce and vinegar, Sheng Liancheng ate more than a dozen dumplings before stopping his chopsticks.

"Oh, it seems that I have to listen to what you say. I really can't eat this soup." Sheng Liancheng said while rubbing his stomach.

If it weren't for the garlic sauce and vinegar, he probably would have eaten those ten or so.

"Then it will be like what you said in the future, let's change this rule.

By the way, let's make dumplings next year during the Chinese New Year, and let's put some sugar, money, and jujube in them too.

I heard people make these, but our family has never done it. "Sheng Liancheng is also convinced now.

This person has to change with the times. When the days are better, he can't stick to the old rules like before.

These years, because Sheng Liancheng has always followed the rules of his hometown, Zhang Shuzhen didn't bother to put money, sugar, dates, etc. in the dumplings.

On the New Year's Eve of the first year of marriage, Zhang Shuzhen happily made a trip.

Unexpectedly, after fishing for a long time, the couple ate a few jujubes, but they didn't taste the sugar, and finally found that the coins had leaked at the bottom of the basin.

The key is that the dumplings themselves are not resistant to cooking, and if they are soaked in the dumpling soup for so long, the dumpling skins will be broken long ago, so what else can you eat?
Originally, all these were just for the sake of auspiciousness, and they couldn't eat anything, so what's the point?
So since that time, Zhang Shuzhen never made a bag again.

"Okay, as long as you don't let us eat dumplings with soup, I will make whatever you want to put in it."

It was easy, Zhang Shuzhen readily agreed.

Sheng Liancheng was full, and everyone else ate about the same. In the end, there were only two plates of dumplings left.

It's normal, there must be surplus food for the Chinese New Year, so when Zhang Shuzhen kneads the noodles and prepares the stuffing, she always prepares a lot.

This year, the dumplings were cooked early, and it was only after eleven o'clock after dinner. I just ate a full stomach of dumplings, so it's not easy for the children to go to bed directly.

But there are no entertainment programs these days, not to mention watching TV and the Spring Festival Gala, and there is not even a radio.

In desperation, Sheng Liancheng led the children to play poker and chess to digest food a little.

Waiting for the bell on the wall to ring, Sheng Xiping led his younger siblings to wish his parents New Year's greetings.

"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year."

"Okay, okay, all good, all good." Sheng Liancheng and his wife were very happy, and hurriedly took out money from their pockets, and gave each child [-] cents.

"Keep your money well, don't spend it recklessly."

"Oh, I see." The children happily took the money, and quickly put it in their pockets.

Don't underestimate the two cents, you can buy a lot of things.

The children don't see money on weekdays. In their eyes, [-] cents is a huge sum of money.

Sheng Xiping is already 21, how can he ask for two cents?He has dozens in his pocket.

So, Sheng Xiping gave his share to the sixth son Sheng Xitai.

"Then, don't waste money, buy a pen, eraser or something later, and study hard."

This time, Sheng Xitaimei was broken, and he put his arms around the elder brother's neck.

"It's still my elder brother who treats me well, thank you elder brother, my dear elder brother."

Sheng Xitai's flattering virtue directly put Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei's sisters off guard.

"Tch, you're flattering every day, and I haven't seen you really do anything."

The voice of the two girls was not low, everyone heard it, and the whole family laughed.

Sheng Xitai was not annoyed when his sister despised the joke, but just snorted, "Hmph, if you want to slip your beard, you have to know how to do it."

"Okay, every day, as long as the three of you get together, you will be like that black-eyed chicken, fighting all day long."

Zhang Shuzhen was afraid that the two girls would continue to quarrel with Lao Liu, so she hurriedly spoke.

"It's getting late, hurry up and pack up and go to bed. You have to go to New Year's greetings tomorrow morning, so don't get up late and make people sleep in bed."

It's really late, Sheng Xitai's eyelids have been fighting a long time ago, and he was just trying to hold on.

Mother had spoken, and everyone hurried to sleep.

On New Year's Eve, they are not allowed to lay bedding or take off their clothes, just pull out a pillow, put on a quilt or overcoat, and deal with it to sleep all night.

I stayed up until midnight, and this sleep was extraordinarily sweet.

Until around 07:30 in the morning, Zhang Shuzhen first got up to light the fire, then called Sheng Liancheng and others to set off firecrackers and eat dumplings.

We just had dinner here, and before we finished eating, Wang Jianshe brought his younger siblings to celebrate the New Year.

"Uncle, Aunt, Happy New Year."

These days, most families have quite a few children, like Wang Jianshe's family, with a total of five brothers and sisters.The youngest sister is in the same class as Sheng Xitai.

Ordinary people, no matter how good or bad their life is, they will buy new clothes for their children when the New Year comes.

It is best if you can buy fabrics to make new clothes. If there are many children in the family, everyone can’t afford to make new clothes, so the older ones make new clothes, and the younger ones pick up the clothes of the older brothers and sisters, or change one of the adult’s clothes.

Anyway, no matter what, I have to send the children to have fun during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Jianshe's father was originally a chainsaw operator, a sixth-grade worker, with a salary of seventy or eighty yuan a month, and he was not too rich to support a family of seven.

Thanks to Wang Jianshe, he can spend a lot of money with the agricultural team, mountain farm team, and sideline business for a year, which makes life easier for the family.

This autumn and winter, Wang Jianshe went hunting with Sheng Xiping and earned a lot of money, so the children of the Wang family changed into new clothes.

Especially those two girls, wearing brand new red padded jackets, with red strings tied on their heads, they are so beautiful.

"Hey, happy new year, happy new year.

Jianshe, hurry up and invite your younger brothers and sisters to sit down.We haven't finished our meal yet, we got up late in the morning.

Xiping, hurry up, bring out the melon seeds and candies, and let Jiancheng and Jiansheng eat them. "

Sheng Liancheng and his wife warmly greeted Wang Jianshe and his brother to come in and sit down.

Over there, Sheng Xi'an and others also wished each other a happy New Year with Wang Jiancheng, Wang Jiansheng and others.

Then Sheng Xiping brought melon seeds and candies, grabbed two handfuls, and stuffed them to the two girls of the Wang family, Wang Lili and Wang Tingting.

"Brother Xiping, we don't want it."

Before the two girls went out, the adults in the family should have ordered them not to come out to ask for candies from other people's homes.

No one is well-off these days, especially things like sugar, which are all supplied by ticket.

When you go to someone to pay New Year's greetings during Chinese New Year, they must be polite and give you some candy or something.

Usually, before leaving the house, the adults in the family have to tell them not to ask for candy, and if they eat too much, they will hurt their teeth.

Sheng Xiping also came here when he was a child. Which child didn't like candy when he was a child?
"It's okay, brother Xiping is not an outsider, so you can take what I give. If my mother scolds you two later, I will intercede with you two."

Sheng Xiping smiled, handed the candy to the two girls and asked them to accept it.

The two girls, Wang Lili and Wang Tingting, turned their heads to look at the elder brother Wang Jianshe over there.

That means, naturally I want to ask my elder brother if I can accept the candy.

Wang Jianshe laughed when he saw it, "Okay, brother Xiping gave it to you, take it. I just don't tell my parents later."

The two girls were relieved to hear the elder brother's words, "Thank you, elder brother Xiping."
