husband and wife

Chapter 118

However, Su Wan has already reduced the amount of red envelopes, and the local tyrant's style is still shocking when she makes a move. She didn't know that this red envelope is not given to every child. There is only one son's relative, and the one who receives the red envelope is that son. If there are many children, the youngest child is given to the youngest child. Generally speaking, a family only accepts one child. It is nothing for Su Wan to send to her own nephews and nieces. As long as she is happy, cousin Song Ziheng also has one child each. She didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was only one or two copper coins at most, and Aunt Song told Mother Song that this daughter-in-law was well married, generous, and able to do things, so it didn't cost much, and the children were happy.

She never expected that Su Wan was much more generous than she thought. When she opened the red envelopes, each person received six coppers. This is not a skill, it's obviously throwing money!Uncle Song's two daughter-in-laws looked at each other, they took the red envelope, and when she gave birth to a child in the future, they would have to return it. It was really unnecessary to give so much. If several children gave different numbers, it would probably cost more money if Mrs. Li saw it. noisy.But after thinking about it, the sister-in-law felt relieved again. Ziheng's daughter-in-law is really as everyone said, she is a carefree master, and they should see each other more in the future.

So Su Wan didn't know that the result of being a benevolent boy for a while was that not only her two sisters-in-laws, but also the other two sisters-in-laws were much warmer to her, and would come to the Song family's yard to talk to her from time to time.

The children were really excited. They ran to the yard to play hide-and-seek with their red envelopes. They were sweating and didn't feel cold at all.The adults in the house gathered around the brazier, listening to the laughter outside, with smiles on their faces.

In the middle of the night, Su Wan couldn't hold on any longer, and the chatter around her gradually died down. She leaned on Song Ziheng's shoulder and fell asleep without knowing it. Jumping up on the stool, Song Ziheng hurriedly grabbed her shoulders. Fortunately, everyone in the Song family also got up to set off firecrackers in the yard, and did not notice her movement.

Seeing that the sky outside was a bit dim, Su Wan asked in a half hoarse voice: "What time is it?"

"Firecrackers are set off on the fifth watch, around four quarters of Moyin time."

At about four o'clock in the morning, Su Wan couldn't help stretching, and finally made it through.

After setting off the firecrackers, after a while, the men and the boys all went out. The ancestral hall was opened on the first day of the new year, and women were not allowed to go, but they could watch the excitement, so Mrs. Li took the two sisters-in-law of the cousins ​​to follow. Now, Su Wan's eyelids were fighting, so she sat on the brazier and squinted her eyes for a while, and then Mrs. Zhang started to make breakfast, and she followed after seeing this.

The breakfast on the first day of the new year is also very particular. You have to eat mochi, which is also very interesting to make. On the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, Song’s mother steamed the glutinous rice and took the wooden barrel to the fortune’s family next door. Their family has A stone mortar is specially used to make mochi. Su Wan also knew that a group of people followed to see that hot glutinous rice was poured into the stone mortar. The Song Ziheng brothers each held a stick and pounded it alternately. After the glutinous rice is rotten, it must be beaten for a while to make it rotten into rice mud.The Song family didn't give money, but gave Cai Funiang a piece of mochi that was baked out of the oven. The hot and warm mochi was eaten with sugar, and it was quite tasty, and the rest was dried in a large piece.It was the first time for Su Wan to see making mochi, and it was delicious to see. Not only the Song family, but also the neighbors brought glutinous rice over to make it. It was a festive Chinese New Year, and Cai Funiang had to eat a piece of mochi made by every family. If you can’t finish eating, put it away, and it’s enough to eat for the Spring Festival, so their family usually doesn’t have to make it by themselves during the New Year.

The mochi made yesterday had been dried in the shade. I don’t know when they were cut into square pieces and neatly stacked in the bamboo basket. Mrs. Zhang took half a pot and cooked them with lean meat in different ways. The salty soup was deep-fried, added sugar, and steamed a lot. You can eat sweet or salty as you like. When the others came back, they had breakfast directly. After the meal, the children went back to the room to catch up on sleep. Back in his own room, took off his clothes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
