Female Farming Pond Fish

It’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye.

I got up early in the morning and went out to see that it was snowing.

Chi Xiaotong sighed: "Auspicious snow means a good harvest! A good omen!"

Tian Yu didn't understand these fancy words, but he understood that it was a good omen and he was happy.

The two were very motivated. They were going to put up Spring Festival couplets today and make dumplings in the evening. No fireworks were sold here. Yes, this was ancient times. Fireworks were too extravagant.

The Spring Festival couplets are all ready. Just paste them on.

The two of them worked together quite quickly.

Chi Xiaotong was in charge of pasting it, while Tian Yu was watching from behind to see if it was crooked! The whole yard was filled with laughter.

When pasting the word "Fu", the one in Chi Xiaotong's room was pasted upside down.

Tian Yu looked at her again and again, and couldn't help but say, "Wife, you are so close!"

Chi Xiaotong pasted it in a few strokes and looked at it. It was not crooked and was in good condition. She pinched Tian Yu's face and explained with a smile: "It was meant to fall. I did it on purpose."

"Ah?" Tian Yu was puzzled.

"Because it's called, blessing has arrived!" After listening to Chi Xiaotong's explanation, Tian Yu said happily: "Then my wife, let's stick the remaining blessing characters upside down as well!"

Chi Xiaotong smiled: "Sure! Xiaoyu, do you want to try it?"

"I, I'm clumsy. I'd rather not!"

"Our Xiao Yu is not stupid. Go and try it. Paste it however you want!" Then he handed him a piece of the word "Fu".

Under Chi Xiaotong's encouraging gaze, Tian Yu carefully pasted it in place, measuring it carefully for fear that it might be pasted crookedly.

After posting the post, he turned around and looked at Chi Xiaotong eagerly, as if asking for praise.

Chi Xiaotong praised generously: "Great! Great posting!"

Tian Yu's face was red, a little shy, but mostly happy.

After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, Chi Xiaotong started to prepare braised pig's trotters.

Last time the Chen family slaughtered the New Year pig, all the pig’s trotters were given to Chi Xiaotong!

It was already stewed yesterday, just add the seasonings and marinate it today.

The pig's trotters in the pot are still bubbling. If they are soaked for a while longer, they will become softer and more flavorful.

They heard Chen Chengyu calling them in the kitchen.

When the two came out, Chi Xiaotong asked, "Chengyu? Is there something wrong? Come in!"

Chen Chengyu shook his head and said, "No, I won't go in. My mother told you to come to my house for the New Year! My family is big and lively. There are only two of you, so I'll let you go!"

The two looked at each other, and Chi Xiaotong refused: "No, we can just eat at home! Thank auntie for me!"

"Hey, let's go! Isn't it a good time to have more people during the New Year? You two won't make a difference."

"I know, Auntie is worried about me because I just arrived. But I have a husband now. It's good for the two of us to stay at home! I won't go!" Then she turned to Tian Yu and said, "Go get a small basin, put two pig's trotters in it and let Cheng Yu take it back!"

Tian Yu nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.

Chen Chengyu tried to stop him but was stopped by Chi Xiaotong.

"Hey, don't take it. I'm here to ask you to eat. You don't have to take things!" Chen Chengyu said anxiously.

"If you don't take it, we'll have to deliver it later! It's just right, it saves us from making a trip!"

Tian Yu came out with a basket. He handed it to Chen Chengyu and whispered, "I put it in there. Be careful not to spill it when you take it out!"

Chen Chengyu didn't answer: "Let's go together and have a meal together!"

"No, I'm ready for dinner! Please say hello to my aunt and uncle!"

"You, just go!"

"No," Chi Xiaotong insisted, and reminded: "If the pig's trotters are cold when you take them back, heat them up."

"I know, but I really won't go!" Chen Chengyu still didn't give up.

"No, I will spend the New Year alone with my husband. Go back quickly! I will go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow!"

"Okay then!" Chen Chengyu knew that he couldn't persuade Chi Xiaotong, so he could only carry the basket and leave.

Chi Xiaotong was quite happy. Chen Chengyu's visit saved her a lot of trouble as she no longer had to deliver pig's trotters.

I can now eat pig's trotters peacefully with my husband!

In order to make the pig's trotters more flavorful, they cooked it for a while longer. Just as they were setting the table and preparing to eat, another person arrived.

Chi Xiaotong went out and was shocked to see that Chen's mother had come in person.

He hurriedly led the person into the house and asked him to sit down.

"Aunt, why did you come here in person? If you have something to do, can't you just let Chengyu go there?" Chi Xiaotong said.

"I asked her to call you, but she didn't do it?"

"Auntie, I know you're thinking about me. Now I'm married. We can eat well at home."

"It's okay if you don't want to go. I have one more thing to ask you!"

"what?"

"Ever since Chengyu brought you back, I've liked you and wanted to become your godparent. Are you willing?" Mother Chen had been thinking about this since her eldest sister said that day! She had also discussed it with her husband.

Father Chen naturally agreed, he also liked Chi Xiaotong. They became a family, the relationship was closer, and the two families supported each other, which was a good thing.

The two agreed and asked the two younger ones. Naturally, they all agreed.

She originally wanted to call Chi Xiaotong to talk after dinner in the afternoon. Chi Xiaotong said she would not go anyway, so she came over and asked.

Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The village will open the ancestral hall. There is nothing to prepare for the New Year. It is a good opportunity to recognize a godparent. It will also let everyone in the village know.

That's why Chen's mother came to ask in person.

"I'm willing!" To Chi Xiaotong, the Chen family was her family in this world. It was legitimate to have a godparent. She couldn't ask for more.

"Okay, then you and Tian Yu pack up and come to my place to celebrate the New Year!" said Chen's mother.

"Okay, I'll ask Xiaoyu to pack the pig's trotters and bring them over!" Chen's mother came in person to invite him, it would be bad to refuse!

After we become godparents tomorrow, we will be a legitimate family! There is no problem in celebrating the New Year together one day in advance.

"No need to take it, just go!"

"Aunt, I've prepared the meal! If you're going, you should take it! Can I come back in the evening?"

"Then take it. Let's stay up all night together. We can go to the ancestral hall together tomorrow morning!"

As soon as she thought about it, Chi Xiaotong knew that if she went, she would never be able to come back tonight. But it was Chinese New Year! It was better to have more people and a more lively atmosphere.

"Then, auntie, what do I need to prepare to become my godparent?" Chi Xiaotong knew nothing about the customs here.

Chen's mother thought that Chi Xiaotong was young and had never been exposed to this before, so it was normal for her not to understand. She didn't think much about it and told her: "You don't need to prepare anything. Just come with me!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to worship our ancestors, and everything is ready. It is not difficult to find a godparent here. Chen's mother thought, let's do it while the ancestral hall is open.

Chi Xiaotong has no mother or father, so there is no need for the two families to agree to the ceremony. All that is needed is for both parties to agree and for everyone in the ancestral hall to witness the recognition of the relationship.

"Okay!" Chi Xiaotong agreed and went to the kitchen to help Tian Yu clean up.

Bring all the food. Chi Xiaotong pulled Tian Yu and followed behind Chen's mother.
