Su Liyan was busy making dumplings.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was standing by the window, with his hands in his pockets and his head slightly raised, looking at the bright fireworks high in the sky.
"Daughter-in-law, come and watch the fireworks!"
Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at the kitchen and shouted loudly.
Su Liyan put the two dumplings into the pot, stirred them with a shovel, and then trotted out.
When Su Liyan came to Lu Yuan's side, Lu Yuan took one hand out of his pocket and put his arm around his wife's shoulders.
Su Liyan tilted her head and leaned on Lu Yuan's shoulder, holding her man's waist with one hand, her face full of happiness.
At this time, firecrackers were also set off in the yard, which was extremely lively for a while. Lu Yuan also smelled the familiar smell of sulfur dioxide after the explosion of firecrackers.
Needless to say, this taste is really good.
Lu Yuan quite liked smelling it.
After watching for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly turned to look at his wife and said:
"Are the dumplings in the pot almost ready?"
Su Liyan was startled, then let out a sweet cry and ran towards the kitchen.
Lu Yuan grinned.
Soon, Su Liyan served a large plate of dumplings.
There are also several large bowls filled with dumplings.
Don’t worry about whether you can eat the dumplings as much as you want during the Chinese New Year. Just eat as many as you want.
"Here, I'll give you this bowl."
After Su Liyan glanced at the bowl in her hand, she handed a bowl to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was not polite, he just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
This New Year's dumpling meal is actually a bit difficult to eat for people like Lu Yuan's family who eat a lot of meat every day.
Because during the Chinese New Year dumplings, you can’t eat garlic, and you can’t be jealous.
After all, garlic is spicy and vinegar is sour.
This is a bad sign.
If you want to dip it, you can only eat it with sugar water.
However, who can eat dumplings dipped in sugar water? Generally, the sugar water is just a decoration and everyone just eats it dry.
There is no garlic in these dumplings, they are all meatballs. You can’t eat more than a few and they will become very fragrant.
However, this Chinese New Year dumpling meal is different from usual, and I have to eat hard even if I can't finish it.
Then you have to eat money~
This is the first dumpling meal of the New Year. The more money you eat, the more money you will earn this year~
I'm particular about it~
Lu Yuan opened his mouth and put a dumpling into his mouth. The dumplings he made were so beautifully made.
My wife's little hands are so clever, each one looks like a gold ingot.
Lu Yuan took one gulp and felt hard. Then he spat out a silver dollar on the table.
After Su Liyan saw it, she looked at her man with great joy and said with a smile:
"Brother, that's amazing. I got money from the first bite~~"
Lu Yuan was a little proud. After eating three more dumplings, he spit out two silver coins and a chestnut.
This chestnut represents gold ingot~
At this time, Su Liyan ate three dates and one candy.
Um……
Lu Yuan looked at what Su Liyan had eaten, and then looked at what he had eaten.
Lu Yuan knew it well.
I guess...
They were all carefully selected by my wife in the kitchen just now.
The dumplings at home are all made by my wife.
After all, how could Lu Yuan know how to make dumplings?
In other words, I can stir up the meat fillings and so on.
Whether it's rolling out dough or making dumplings, Lu Yuan doesn't know how to do it.
These were all made by Su Liyan. Lu Yuan hugged and kissed his wife while she was making dumplings.
Apart from making trouble for his wife, he did nothing else.
I can definitely recognize some of the dumplings made by my wife.
When I was doing ink in the kitchen just now, I was probably just picking money out of my own bowl.
At this time, Su Liyan was very happy looking at the money in her man's bowl, which meant that her man could make more money next year.
And looking at the sweet dates and sugar in her bowl, Su Liyan was even happier.
After all, I picked my man’s bowl, but the sweet dates I ate were real.
This means that next year I will definitely be as sweet as this year~
Lu Yuan was really proud of this meal.
A large bowl of dumplings, Lu Yuan stuffed almost twenty of them on the plate.
Normally Lu Yuan couldn't eat twenty even if they were dipped in garlic, but this wasn't the Chinese New Year, so Lu Yuan stuffed them into his mouth desperately.
From these twenty dumplings, Lu Yuan ate eight large coins, which were silver dollars, four small coins, which were dimes, three chestnuts, and two dates.
Su Liyan ate six dates, two large coins, one small coin, and two candies.
Su Liyan also ate hard into her mouth during the Chinese New Year.
Don’t plan for anything, just plan for good luck.
After the two of them couldn't eat anymore, Lu Yuan looked at Su Liyan and asked with a smile:
"I am full?"
Su Liyan nodded sweetly and said:
"I'm full~"
During the Chinese New Year, you can’t say too many bad things, you have to listen to the good things.
Lu Yuan immediately smiled and said:
"Let's go and say New Year greetings?"
Later, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan put on the new sweaters, leather jackets, new pants and new leather shoes they bought before.
Su Liyan held her man's hand and went to the uncle's house in the middle courtyard to pay New Year's greetings.
At this time, every household in the yard has basically finished eating. The young people have come out to pay New Year greetings, while the elders are waiting at home for other younger generations to come to pay New Year greetings.
"Have a great New Year, sir!"
"It's all good, all good."
"How much did you eat this morning?"
"Okay, okay, after eating so much money, I will definitely earn a lot this year~"
"Hey, aunt, you didn't get any money. It would be better if you didn't get any money. This way, we will spend less at home next year. My uncle can just eat more."
In the past, this courtyard house was full of intrigues and scheming.
Today, everyone has unanimously stopped all the disputes in the past and all said good things.
No one wants to find anything unpleasant today.
After all the elders in the courtyard have paid their respects, everyone is ready to go out of the courtyard to pay homage to their relatives.
"Sister Su, have a great New Year."
Kou Yang came out of a house and greeted Su Liyan with a smile.
Su Liyan was startled, turned around and saw Kou Yang, and said with a smile:
"Happy New Year, brother Kou Yang."
Kou Yang looked at Su Liyan's outfit today and couldn't help but sigh:
"Sister Su, you are so beautiful, just like a fairy descending to earth."
Su Liyan was startled, then she hugged her man's arm with a happy face and said with a smile:
"Your brother picked it for me~"
Kou Yang nodded and said with great admiration:
"Sister Su, you really look good no matter what you wear."
Lu Yuan: "????"
No, your brother is a living person here, and you just can’t see him alive, right?
Lu Yuan, who originally wanted to say a few words, finally pouted.
Forget it, it’s Chinese New Year.
I'm talking about Kou Yang's virtue.
In the end, Lu Yuan took Su Liyan and walked to the front yard of the courtyard. In the front yard, there was a third uncle who didn't pay New Year's greetings.
After the New Year greetings, you can go back and take the horse to visit the homes of Lin Fusheng, Director Xu, and Wang Ping to say New Year greetings.
Kou Yang looked at Su Liyan's back with a sigh on his face, feeling that Sister Su was so beautiful today.
"Hey, are you still thinking about Sister Su?"
Pang Kaige's voice sounded from behind Kou Yang.
Kou Yang was startled, turned around and saw Pang Kaige, frowned and said:
"Hey, let me tell you, you are a person who doesn't have a proper appearance during the Chinese New Year. Can you talk nonsense about this? I just think Sister Su looks good in clothes.
I also feel that it is not easy for my sister Su, who has to work every day and take care of the family.
Although Lu Yuan made some money, he was sitting on nothing every day. Within two or three months, he would have to make money again. From now on, Sister Su would have to gnaw on cornstarch every day. "
As soon as Kou Yang finished speaking, Wang Yulan, who was following Pang Kaige, immediately said reluctantly:
"Bah, bah, bah, how can you say bad things about people behind their backs during the Chinese New Year!"
Last time, when Brother Lu changed the floor and fire pit in her home, Wang Yulan remembered the kindness of people.
It is unlucky to say this when talking about the Chinese New Year!
It will rebound on yourself.
Kou Yang knew that he was wrong, but he didn't want to admit it.
Dang even curled his lips and hummed:
"Why, you are not allowed to tell the truth during the Chinese New Year!"
After saying that, Kou Yang turned around and left.
Wang Yulan was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Pang Kaige, on the other hand, pulled his wife and laughed and said:
"Okay, it's okay. Kou Yang has this temper and is a jerk. We are here to celebrate the Chinese New Year and we won't be angry with him."
Kou Yang's words spoke to Pang Kaige's heart.
Pang Kaige thought the same way.
Don't look at it, Lu Yuan is proud of him right now.
But!
Hum!
This matter needs to be looked at in the long run! !
This Lu Yuan is a big lazy guy. He is in good health, but he just doesn't want to go to work.
Such a person, no matter how much benefit is given to him, he will not go to work!
Regardless of whether it is a fifth-level worker or a reserve cadre, this is equivalent to being blind!
Of course, from now on, Su Liyan will be treated as a third-level worker, paying thirty-six yuan a month.
But this is where Lu Yuan’s family ends.
Can Lu Yuan still come up with such an earth-shattering invention? !
And then get hundreds of dollars in rewards? !
He, Pang Kaige, doesn’t believe it!
This kind of thinking is not only felt by him, Pang Kaige, but also by everyone else in the courtyard.
From now on, the most popular person in this courtyard will have to be my own family!
My family is rich, and my father-in-law’s family is richer than my own family!
I'll wait until I can do it later!
Hum ~
Don't worry, I am the youngest third uncle in this courtyard!
Even now, who doesn’t say something good about himself?
Everyone is sincere about this!
Everyone really thinks their home is great!
Unlike the Lu Yuan family, everyone knows that the Lu Yuan family has no backbone.
Now everyone sees that Lu Yuan is polite, but that is all fake.
Everyone is afraid that this immoral thing will harm people!
It’s different from myself!
Pang Kaige looked at the backs of Lu Yuan and Su Liyan in the distance and thought with great pride.
You asked me to tidy up the stables and dig out the ashes, right? !
This time next year, I will ask you to dig out stove ashes and shovel horse manure for me! !
At this time, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked into the third uncle's house.
I went in, said a few words, said happy New Year, and then came out.
After coming out, Lu Yuan looked at Gao Xu's house opposite.
Um……
Forget it, I won’t go to Gao Xu’s house.
It doesn't matter to me, but my wife is obviously very annoyed by Mrs. Gao Xu.
This Chinese New Year would not make it difficult for him to find a wife.
Afterwards, Lu Yuan led Su Liyan home, and the two of them led the horses straight to Wang Ping's house.
First we went to Wang Ping's house, then to Lin Fusheng's house, and finally to Director Xu's house.
Lu Yuan has thought about it.
On the way there, I saw how busy the streets in the imperial city were.
Under the street lights, there are all kinds of people, all in large groups.
When they entered Wang Ping's community, they saw an even more spectacular scene.
Dozens of people, including men with their wives and children, knelt down and kowtowed to an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, shouting loudly Happy New Year.
This is really spectacular.
Su Liyan sat on the horse and nestled in Lu Yuan's arms. When she saw this scene, she suddenly turned back to look at Lu Yuan and said:
"Brother, I also want to give you many, many sons. When we get old, this son, his wife, and his grandson will come to pay you New Year greetings!"
After listening to Su Liyan's words, Lu Yuan said with amusement:
"You don't have to have so many children. Just have one or two sons, and then one or two daughters."
Good guy, if you really have so many sons, how can you really do that?
Although the betrothal gift here is not expensive, doesn't it mean that a house must be prepared for the son when he gets married?
Lu Yuan did not plan to let his son live in his compound in the future.
Isn't that just a waste of time?
My son can't be so hopeless.
From now on, I and Su Liyan will live in my big courtyard, and I'll just have a few maids to take care of them when the time comes.
Then he and his wife closed the door in the courtyard every day without feeling ashamed.
But Su Liyan blinked and said quickly:
"Brother, who wants a daughter? I want a boy."
Looking at Su Liyan in his arms, Lu Yuan said with a smile:
"Why, you don't like my daughter?"
Su Liyan nodded immediately and said:
"Well, I like sons, and I want to give birth to a son for my brother."
Don't apply the modern methods on earth to the Zhou Dynasty.
Everyone here wants to have a son, but if any family has a daughter, they are too embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
The concept here is like this, and it is useless to talk about it.
Don't say that Su Liyan favors boys over girls. Which woman here is not like that?
Therefore, it is not wrong at all for my wife to think this way.
Speaking of which, giving birth to a son in the Zhou Dynasty was indeed much easier than in modern times on earth.
After all, the betrothal gifts here are not exaggerated.
People also often say that raising children will protect them from old age. When this girl gets married, she will get married. It would be good if she can go back twice throughout the year, including New Year's Eve.
Of course, it was okay for a modern person like Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan didn't think that this son must be filial or anything like that, just in case he became a prodigal son.
Just looking at Su Liyan's serious look, Lu Yuan said with a smile:
"It's hard to talk about this thing. How can we still have the final say?"
Su Liyan nodded seriously and said:
"Of course it counts. Even if the first child is not a son, then I will keep giving birth to him until a son is born!"
After finishing speaking, Su Liyan suddenly realized something, her face was filled with panic, and then she quickly said:
"Bah, bah, bah, the first baby will definitely be a son. I will give birth to a lot of sons for my brother!!"
Seeing Su Liyan's cute look, Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing and said:
"Okay, I'll give it to you when the time comes. Anyway, I can afford it!"
Thanks to Brother Lixi from Meng for the 500 book coins reward, thank you very much ~
Thanks to Han Mang and Brother for the 500 book coins reward, thank you very much~
Thank you, ignorant, Ran Ran Yunyang for the 100 book coins reward, thank you very much~
Damn, I woke up early in the morning to watch the game and didn't notice anything wrong with me. I was thinking that JD would win, so I went back to have a nice sleep. Today passed happily.
As a result, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep.
What kind of garbage is this?
