Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

It was less than eleven o'clock, and there were bursts of crackling firecrackers outside.

Xu Chenghou couldn't sit still when he heard the commotion outside.

"Otherwise, let's distribute papers earlier? The children eat earlier and play for a while after eating. They should be sleepy."

Xu Chenghou turned his head and asked Zhou Guilan.

"Okay, then go early. Then you lead the sons to distribute papers, and I will cook dumplings."

Zhou Guilan looked at the clock on the wall, it was only ten forty-five.

Okay, it's better to be early, the wonderful sketches are coming later, I cooked the dumplings earlier, and I just went back to the house to watch the sketches.

In this way, Xu Chenghou led his sons, carried the table out, and put steamed buns, chicken, fish, and meat on it.

There are no incense burner bowls at home, so I put two bowls that I don't usually use, filled them with plant ash and pressed them firmly.

Xu Chenghou took his son to work outside, while Zhou Guilan led his daughter-in-law to work in the kitchen.

There was already a fire in the kitchen, and there was hot water in the pot.

Now add more dry firewood to the bottom of the pot, and the flames will ignite all of a sudden, and the water in the pot will be overturned in a short time.

"The water is boiling." Zhou Guilan yelled outside.

Outside, Xu Chenghou ordered his eldest son to light the firecrackers, and here he lit three sticks of incense, and then lit a large pile of printed burning paper.

"Come on, all of you come over and kowtow. Xiaobo, lead your brother and the others over here too."

Xu Chenghou greeted his children and grandchildren, followed behind him, and all knelt down and kowtowed.

Afterwards, the children lit a lot of firecrackers in the yard, and Xu Jinfeng and the others also lit some silent fireworks to watch the excitement.

The sisters Xu Jinping and the others were still holding the ground tendons in their hands and lit the whole place.

The dogs at home are all old, and setting off firecrackers once a year can no longer affect them.

The dogs lay peacefully in the nest, making as much noise outside as they liked, and the children jumped as much as they wanted, without even making a sound.

Xu Chenghou looked at the children and grandchildren all over the yard, he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

"Don't you have a lot of firecrackers at home? Take it out and let it go, just as the children are there, take it out and let it go lively."

Seeing that the children were having fun, the old man urged Xu Shiyan to go back to the house and take out all the firecrackers.

Xu Shiyan didn't say anything else, and went into the room and brought out half a basket of fireworks and small cannons of various colors.

The boys fight for the firecrackers, and the girls fight for the fireworks. Anyway, the yard is big and they don't interfere with each other.

Now the yard is bustling with jingle sounds over there, and the yard illuminated by colorful fireworks here is much brighter.

The children were jumping and jumping in the yard, and the cold wind on New Year's Eve did not affect them at all.

At the same time as the firecrackers were set off outside, the dumplings were also cooked in the kitchen.

After the children set off the firecrackers and fireworks, the dumplings in the pot are cooked and taken out, and served on the table.

"Okay, let's all come back to eat."

The temperature was low on New Year's Eve, and the children's faces were flushed from the cold while they were outside.

As soon as grandma yelled to eat dumplings, a large group of hula la ran into the house.

After entering the house, he took off his hat and coat, and the boys jumped on the kang directly. The older girls all went to the kitchen to help serve dishes, chopsticks and small dishes.

The hot dumplings were served, and the whole family sat down.

Zhou Guilan looked at the people in this room, and she was also very happy.

"Okay, let's eat with chopsticks. Today's dumplings have several fillings. You can eat whatever you want."

According to the old rules, the dumplings are still filled with coins, peanuts, jujubes, and sugar.

The children didn't want to eat the dumplings, they just wanted to eat the money in them. They stared at each other to see which dumpling looked like.

In order to get some extra money, these children kept eating dumplings, until they ate all the dumplings until their stomachs turned round until they couldn't eat any more.

Today, I cooked dumplings early and ate them early. After eating dumplings, it's still a while before twelve o'clock.

So I quickly packed up and sat down to watch TV.

When twelve o'clock rang, Xu Haibo and Xu Jinfeng, leading their brothers and sisters, knelt down in front of the kang.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa Chu." The children wished the New Year in unison.

"Hey, good, good, all good, all good."

The three old people are so happy, they can't wait to smile all over the back of their heads.

Let the children get up quickly, then take out the red envelopes that were prepared in advance, and distribute them one by one.

After the old man finished distributing red envelopes, Xu Shixian and others over there also took out red envelopes.

This time, don't worry about whose children, everyone has one, and everyone has a share.

The children received a lot of red envelopes at once, and they were happy now, jumping up and down and having fun.

Seeing the children jumping and jumping like this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Looking at these children, I'm happy to just do nothing. It's great, it's such a lively Chinese New Year." Zhou Guilan muttered contentedly.

After eating dumplings and paying New Year's greetings, the new year is coming. From then on, the children will be one year older.

The big guys talked and laughed for a while, and then the children got a little sleepy, so they each found a place to rest.

Anyway, it's not long before dawn, and you don't need to take off your clothes, so you can just deal with it and sleep for a while.

When I woke up, it was past seven o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year.

So he quickly turned on the fire, cooked the three gailian dumplings left over from last night, and put a hanging whip outside.

After breakfast, the house is lively. Neighbors, relatives and friends all come to pay New Year's greetings.

Xu Haibo and others, under the leadership of Xu Haiyuan, also went around these houses to pay New Year's greetings.

"Grandma, grandma, let's go to Grandpa Su's house to pay New Year's greetings.

After a while, I will go directly to Grandpa Han's house and pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa Han and my sister-in-law. "

When the children came back from wandering around outside, Xu Haibo talked to Xu Chenghou and the others.

This is what it should be when visiting relatives and friends on the first day of the new year.

In previous years, they didn't celebrate the New Year here, so it's fine if they don't go to pay New Year's greetings. Since they are here this year, these relatives must go there.

Especially those of the younger generation, no one will be left behind.

"Oh, okay, let's go then, that, be careful on the road."

Xu Chenghou nodded and waved the children away.

The descendants of the old Xu family are prosperous, with twelve children of six boys and six girls in the younger generation.

With such a large group of people going out, it's fine if they don't bully others, and there is no need to be afraid that someone will dare to bully them.

With permission, the children came out of the house happily.

How can these brats walk in a proper manner? They found all the sledges at home.

The girl sat on the sledge, and the boy ran while pulling the sledge.

Nowadays, no one cleans up the snow on the road. The road is covered with a crust of ice and snow, and the sledges run on it.

At this time, the children are all wearing thick, big cotton jackets and cotton trousers.

Boys wear leather hats and big cotton shoes on their feet, while girls wear thick scarves on their heads and cotton boots on their feet.

Both boys and girls wear cotton handbags, which are necessary equipment for going out in winter.

Wearing thick clothes, the children are not afraid of the cold, just running on the road laughing and making noise.

Passers-by saw it and laughed. If they met someone they knew, the children would stop to pay New Year's greetings, and then continue running.
