Xiao Fuyuan fell asleep after eating the dumplings, and woke up on the first day of the new year.
Looking at the bright snow outside, I sighed in my heart, the new year has arrived, and I have grown one year older.
She tried hard to open her eyes and saw Mrs. Zhen sitting beside her bed with a smile.
"mother."
"Daughter, are you awake? You must be tired last night."
Zhen held a new red coat and skirt with flowers in her hand, which had already been warmed on the charcoal basin.
Xiao Fuyuan's room was the warmest in the family. The white wooden board made her feel sorry for her daughter, so she prepared two large charcoal pots for her to burn day and night. If the whole room was kept warm for a long time, she would sweat.
Xiao Fuyuan, who had just woken up, was only wearing thin pajamas, with the quilt kicked aside.
Her face was flushed, there were two marks on her forehead from the pressure of the sleeping pillow, her eyes were as watery as purple grapes, and her whole body was like a pink and white glutinous rice dumpling.
Zhen couldn't help but pick her up, kissed her on the cheek, held her in her arms and rubbed her.
Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui walked in at this time and happened to see this scene.
The sisters-in-law looked envious one after another. They really envied their mother-in-law for having a daughter, but they did not have such a good life.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, happy New Year." Xiao Fuyuan, who had just woken up, had a sweet voice with a delicate ending.
The two sisters-in-law heard this and their hearts trembled.
"Sister, you are thirsty."
Xie Chuntao couldn't help but his voice slowed down, and he handed a glass of warm water to Xiao Fuyuan's mouth. His sister-in-law's room was the warmest, and correspondingly the driest. She would drink a glass of warm water every morning when she got up.
Xiao Fuyuan drank a few large sips of water from her sister-in-law's hand, and then she felt her throat became clear.
"Happy New Year, sister." Eugene Gui was not idle either. He took Xiao Fuyuan's shoes and socks from the charcoal basin to the bedside, then took out a couple of purses from his arms and handed them to Xiao Fuyuan, saying, "This is for sister. New Year’s gift.”
"Thank you, second sister-in-law."
Xiao Fuyuan took it with a smile.
The gifts given by the second sister-in-law were one tael of silver, a silver bracelet, and two silk flowers.
"Sister, this is a gift from my sister-in-law."
Xie Chuntao also handed the gift to Xiao Fuyuan.
The gift from the sister-in-law was not silver, but it was a gold necklace with a small piece of jade inlaid in the middle. It looked expensive at first glance.
This was done by Xie Chuntao at a jewelry shop in Yangfeng County.
Mrs. Zhen was very satisfied that her daughter-in-law took her sister-in-law seriously.
"Oh, I didn't prepare any gifts for my sisters-in-law." Xiao Fuyuan put on the gold collar of the elder sister-in-law and the silver bracelet of the second sister-in-law, frowning and saying.
"You are a child, and your second sister-in-law and I are adults, so naturally we are the ones giving you gifts." Xie Chuntao said.
Speaking of gifts, the sister-in-law has made the life of Lao Bai's family better and better since she was born, and they, as sisters-in-law, have also benefited.
"Sister-in-law is right, sister, if you stay and say a few auspicious words to me, that would be the best gift."
Eugene Gui hurriedly answered the question and took out the gold necklace from her sister-in-law. She felt that her gift was too light and she would not have given the gift with her sister-in-law if she had known better.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't think her gift was light.
Mrs. Zhen put on Xiao Fuyuan's clothes, shoes and socks. Qiuniang came in with some water, combed and tied Xiao Fuyuan's hair.
Then she pulled out a colorful skirt from Xiao Fuyuan's dressing table like a magic trick.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Xiao Fuyuan stroked the skirt, which was smooth and shiny, with lace hanging from the corners.
Just what she wanted.
She marveled at the wisdom of the ancients. She just described the lace skirt she wanted to Qiuniang twice, and Qiuniang sewed it for her stitch by stitch.
"As long as my sister likes this New Year's gift." Qiuniang said with a smile.
"I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to Nai," Xiao Fuyuan said.
Before Xiao Fuyuan could walk out the door, Dalang and his children swarmed into Xiao Fuyuan's room.
"Auntie, happy New Year."
"Auntie, good luck."
"Auntie, bring me the red envelope."
The big man, along with Erlang, Sanlang and Xiaolang, knelt down in front of little Fuyuan and kowtowed.
"Get up, get up quickly!" Xiao Fuyuan pulled Xiao Lang up and patted his knees. The poor baby was still staggering when walking, so his brother Saburo held him down and knelt down.
"It doesn't hurt." Xiao Lang said unsteadily.
"Auntie will give you red envelopes." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile. She forgot to prepare red envelopes yesterday.
Mrs. Zhen smiled and handed the four red envelopes she had prepared to Xiao Fuyuan, and said to Dalang and others: "Your aunt gave this to you. After all, it is your aunt who loves you."
Xiao Fuyuan took the red envelope and handed it to his four nephews.
Dalang Erlang and other four nephews received the red envelope, pinched the broken silver inside, and swore one after another.
"I will do business with my third uncle in the future, and I will spend the money I make on my aunt."
"I want to study hard and take the first prize in the future to support my aunt."
"I want to learn cooking skills and cook delicious food for my aunt every day."
Xiao Lang, who was not very good at talking, said with bubbles in his mouth: "I love my aunt... support me..."
It made everyone laugh.
Xiao Fuyuan took several nephews to Mrs. Bai's room.
Old Mrs. Bai was already sitting cross-legged on the bed, waiting for everyone to kowtow in New Year greetings.
"Okay, granddaughter, please stop knocking. The ground is hard." Mrs. Bai pulled Xiao Fuyuan to the bed and gave her a big red envelope. Xiao Fuyuan pinched it and there was a whole piece of silver inside.
Just because Xiaofuyuan doesn't knock it doesn't mean that others don't knock it.
Bai Dazhuang took several brothers and nephews to kowtow to Mrs. Bai for New Year greetings.
Xie Chuntao kowtows with Eugene Guiqiuniang, and Tian Maimiao, who is about to give birth, gets immunity.
Old lady Bai took out a red envelope and handed it to Dalang's children, including his daughter-in-law.
As for the grandson, it’s not easy to feed him and spend a lot of money to raise him, so he won’t give it to him.
Then Xiao Fuyuan said auspicious words to everyone in the family, and several brothers gave her red envelopes.
"Let's go and pay New Year's greetings to the people in the village..." Old Mrs. Bai took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and got out of bed, so as to avoid being late and being said that the old Bai family is now taking Qiao.
"Nai, where is Mr. Liu?"
Mr. Liu was arranged to sleep in a side room of his house by the white board after the emperor left at night. He was probably too tired to get up.
"Let's leave it alone and go to pay New Year's greetings first," Old Mrs. Bai said.
So everyone followed Mrs. Bai out of the upper room. Bai Dazhuang opened the door to the courtyard and saw a crowd of people crowded at the door.
It turned out that people in the village came to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Bai's family.
The main purpose was to pay New Year greetings to Xiao Fuyuan, the head of Lao Bai's family. Everyone in the village wanted to be blessed by her, so they rushed to the door of Lao Bai's house before dawn on the first day of the new year and waited until the door finally opened.
It is said that some people came to the door of Lao Bai's house when they were still watching the age, and were almost stabbed by A Zhen's bodyguard.
Just like offering incense in a temple, I also want to bring good fortune to my family and give my first blessing on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Seeing this, Bai Banban immediately took his daughter away from his mother and into his arms.
In response to this kind of grand occasion, Baibanban has gained experience over the years, and the first thing he needs to do is to protect his daughter.
If he didn't hold his daughter in his arms, don't ask, she might have been carried away like a drum and flowers.
