Chapter 225: Going to pay New Year's greetings, traditional customs need to be passed on
"Husband, we are going to bring gifts to our eldest sister's house today to wish her a happy new year!" Yiyi reported to Ling Wuxin early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were very surprised. Is it possible to do it this way?
"Anyway, let's follow my opinion today. You just follow me to have dinner." Yiyi said with a smile.
"So today we all have to consider our wife's face?" Ling Wuxin asked.
"That's right! As for the name, no one asked you to change it, just call me whatever you want!" Yiyi explained.
"Oh, okay! Today we are going to visit the second brother's family. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, do you understand? You have to bring gifts with you before you can enter the house today!" Ling Wuxin said with a smile.
"I understand! Lunch is a meal for visiting relatives, and dinner is a family meal for us brothers!" Xiaoqi and Xiaoba nodded to show that they understood!
"Haha, I also find it quite funny that you guys deliberately messed things up. But it has nothing to do with you brothers. We sisters made an agreement among ourselves that when we have children in the future, they will have a place to visit relatives!" Yiyi also found it quite funny to hear their serious discussion, but since they had already made an agreement, it was fine.
Because the second day of the Chinese New Year is the day to go back to one's parents' home, Yiyi and her two sisters were a little embarrassed because they had no parents to go back to, so they agreed to go back to their eldest sister's home to pay New Year's greetings. Yiyi and Bailu even joked that this was a good excuse to continue eating at their eldest sister's home! Yanan said she was happy to do it, anyway, they would eat together during the Chinese New Year, so it didn't matter where they ate!
So, around noon, Yiyi's family of four and Bailu's family of four gathered at Yanan's house again, carrying large and small bags. The two families used the name of New Year's greetings to take care of the meals for the next few days.
Yanan originally said politely, "I'm here so I come, why do you bring all these things?" But when she opened the box and saw that it was all food, she silently swallowed back more polite words and called her husbands to come over and sort the ingredients. Those that needed to be frozen were frozen first, and those that needed to be cooked later were washed and cut.
To prepare lunch, everyone chopped meat and made wontons. The second day of the Chinese New Year is also the day to worship the God of Wealth, so eating wontons is very appropriate. At the same time, they fried a few simple and fresh dishes, and each of them had a big bowl of wontons. This was their lunch. Everyone ate lightly and comfortably, feeling good. During the Chinese New Year, we couldn't have greasy meals of fish and meat every day.
"Since it's New Year's greetings, do I have to return the gift?" This was the first time Yanan became the head of the family at the age of 26, and she was also learning the festival customs.
"Hahaha~ That's so funny!" Bai Lu almost laughed out loud when she heard that!
"Haha, big sister, it's up to you. Go back with some fruits and a pound of rice. It is said that eating rice from outside your family helps children grow up more easily! You have to give out New Year's money! Hehehe~" Yiyi also laughed, but she still asked for benefits for the baby in her belly.
"Is that so? I can give you a little more rice, half a bag for each person. Let our little grandson eat it and grow up well! Of course we can't miss the red envelope!" Yanan actually prepared a return gift for each of Yiyi and Bailu's families, and the red envelope consisted of rice.
Then after everyone had eaten and drunk well, they sent everyone back to their own homes. "After dinner, it will be a family gathering. It's not like going back to your mother's house!" Yanan stood at the door and waved seriously at Yiyi and Bailu's families.
"Well, this experience of being chased home by my sister is quite unforgettable. It's the first time I've been chased away!" Bailu winked at Yiyi mischievously, then took her adopted husband home, followed by Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu who were carrying rice and gifts.
The same is true for Yiyi. For them, they just took the gifts to have lunch and then came back home with the gifts!
"Sister, brother-in-law, go home and live a good life! Don't quarrel, don't fight, come back to us if you have any problems, we will support you sisters!" Shen Wen must have been holding back these words, and he finally found a chance to take advantage of them before sending them out. Then Nanchen, Shen Wen, and Hua Heng all burst into unbridled laughter. They were visiting relatives, and today they had benefited from their wife's help, and their seniority had been raised. If they didn't show off their power now, when would they? Otherwise, it would be invalid!
"..."Sure enough, the three of them all received threatening looks from the eldest brother Ling Wuxin and the third brother Ye Xiao. As for Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, they seemed quite happy to hear that!
After returning home, Yiyi asked Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to put a portion of the rice, fruits, snacks, etc. brought back from her eldest sister's house on the altar, and then lit incense and candles to worship the family god, the god of wealth, and various gods. The worship was full of ritual, and Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also followed their instructions. Ling Wuxin was more of a boss. He just sat there and watched the three busy for a long time. When the ceremony was completed, he did not forget to urge Yiyi to go over and warm himself by the fire. The weather was so cold that it was unbearable!
"Coming, coming!" Yiyi arranged everything before stopping and sitting down beside her husband to rest.
"You are heavy and busy, just let Xiaoqi and Xiaoba do it!" Ling Wuxin held her cold hands and rubbed them to warm them.
"It's not a physical job, why can't I do it? Besides, some traditional customs need to be passed down. There must be someone in a family to take care of them so that they can be passed down from generation to generation! In this way, festivals have a festive atmosphere, and the home also has a home atmosphere. Otherwise, it would be so boring and deserted!" Yes! Yiyi made a reasonable argument, and Ling Wuxin had no choice. He could only turn around and tell Xiaoqi and Xiaoba that these festivals and so on must be taken care of in the future. Yiyi was right. A home should have a home atmosphere, isn't that the case! ?
"Yes, big brother, we will remember it!" Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also sat around the fireplace, listening to Ling Wuxin and Yiyi talking, and responding from time to time. The atmosphere at home was really good.
"Do you two still want to go out and play?" Yiyi asked.
"I won't go out. At most I'll just walk around the village!" Xiao Qi replied.
"That's fine, let's move around and then go home. It's too cold. I can hardly walk!" Yiyi said regretfully. If she wasn't so pregnant, she might have been able to run around in the snow. It would be fun to fiddle with some tools and ski! "Want to go skiing? It's fun to make a sled and a skateboard!" Yiyi asked again.
"Of course you can. The snow here isn't thick enough. It might melt in a few days. Other places are covered with thick snow and it's easy to slide." Xiao Ba replied.
"Oh, the snow will be thicker in the mountains. It would be nice to be able to play in the snow every year. Then these two little ones will have something to play with!" Yiyi said, pointing at the baby in her belly.
"Of course, boys and girls alike will follow us to practice martial arts!" Ling Wuxin already has a sense of being a father.
"Ah? I was talking about playing, and you've already thought of letting them suffer?" Yiyi was stunned. She didn't know if the baby in her belly would protest if it knew about it. However, she was destined not to be an ordinary person and must have special skills. To put it in the worst case, she must have life-saving skills. Yiyi could only sympathize with them mentally for a short while, but she could not deny her husband's plan!
"Haha, you will be a good mother, but they must be trained from a young age to learn martial arts!" Ling Wuxin smiled and talked to Yiyi about her future plans. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also listened carefully, saying that they would accompany the children to grow up and serve as sparring partners for them.
"What do you mean by sparring partners? You two can both be their coaches!" Yiyi disagrees with instilling in children the awareness of different identities from an early age. She hopes that her children will be broad-minded and not just focus on this insignificant identity.
"Yiyi is right. Our children should not be like those pampered young masters and ladies. Instead, they should have the world in their hearts!" Ling Wuxin agreed with Yiyi in this regard.
……
Time passed unnoticed as we chatted and imagined the future. On the way, we tried some charcoal-grilled rice cakes and shared a pomelo. The whole family was having a great time!
