A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money
Chapter 200 New Year's Red Envelope
When the Leng family was making dumplings, Leng Yan specially washed a few copper coins with boiling water and wrapped them into the dumplings.
"Hey, Sister Yan, what are you doing?"
Chen Yueshu, who was standing next to them, was curious when she saw copper coins being wrapped in dumplings for the first time.
"My aunt did this to bring good luck!"
Leng Yan smiled and explained simply: "There is a saying that if you put a copper coin inside a dumpling, after the dumplings are cooked, whoever eats the dumpling with the copper coin inside will be considered a good luck!"
"So this is ah!"
Chen Yueshu nodded, not quite understanding.
Leng Qi, Leng He, Leng Jiaren and Leng Nianzhi were all very eager to try it when they heard it, and they looked like they were determined to eat the dumplings wrapped with copper coins.
The family worked for the whole afternoon, and in the evening, they put the plump white dumplings into the boiling water one after another, waiting for them to float on the water. After adding cold water several times, the fragrant dumplings were ready to be served.
After working for an entire afternoon, everyone was already starving and couldn't wait to eat. They started eating as soon as the dumplings were served on the table.
The dumplings with sauerkraut pork are sour, fragrant, crispy and tender. When dipped in the special garlic sauce, you will never want to stop eating them.
The dumplings with egg and vermicelli filling have more pepper added, which makes them taste salty and fragrant, with a strong peppery aroma. They are delicious whether they are boiled or steamed.
The dumplings stuffed with green onions and mutton taste especially delicious when dipped in vinegar, and the whole family feels particularly satisfied when eating them.
"Oh, so hard!"
Leng Nianzhi had just taken a bite of the dumpling when he unexpectedly bit into a foreign object. He looked down and saw that it was a copper coin.
"Wow, I ate dumplings with copper plates in them!"
The next moment he cried out in excitement, his eyes curved with laughter.
"It's true!"
Chen Yueshu leaned in to take a look and was also happy for her son's good luck.
"Hahaha, this means that Brother Nian will have a peaceful and smooth new year!"
Old Master Leng sat in the main seat. Now that his family was reunited with his children and grandchildren around him, he couldn't tell you how happy he was.
From this morning till now, Mr. Leng's mouth has not dropped.
The whole family was very happy to see this and kept saying auspicious words in a lively manner.
After dinner, the family sat around the kang again, took out the peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts, pine nuts and pastries that they had prepared earlier, and ate while chatting and staying up all night.
At this time, Leng Cang, Leng Qi and other siblings, the younger generation, were holding cushions and kowtowed to old man Leng to wish him a happy new year.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year, good health, long life, give me the red envelope!"
The scene of several children chattering and lining up to kowtow is so lively and happy!
When it comes to asking for red envelopes from family members during the Chinese New Year, except for Leng Jiaren and Leng Nianzhi, it is the first time for Leng Cang, Leng Qi and Leng He to do so.
In previous years, because the family was poor, this step was skipped directly, and they could only look forward to the New Year’s money under their pillows on New Year’s Day.
"Good good!"
Old Man Leng had never dreamed that one day his family would not have to worry about food and money and would be able to enjoy such family happiness.
Seeing such a harmonious scene, Mr. Leng had tears in his eyes.
Afterwards, he lowered his head and, pretending to wipe his tears, took out the red envelopes he had prepared earlier in his arms and gave one to everyone in the family.
Now that things at home are getting better, I get what I deserve.
Not only grandchildren have it, but also sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law. The amount of money does not matter, the main thing is to seek good luck and happiness.
After the whole family happily received the red envelopes, Leng Qi, Leng Qi and Leng Jiaren were even more excited.
After they finished wishing New Year's greetings to Old Man Leng, they turned around and kowtowed to Chen Yueshu, Leng Kang, Zhang Cuiniang and others to wish them a happy New Year.
Afterwards, everyone got a big thick red envelope. The children were so happy that they smiled from ear to ear. Leng Yan followed the crowd and got a lot of red envelopes. He was also very happy.
It seemed like she had never received a red envelope from her elders as New Year’s greetings for many years, no, it should be said that she had never received a red envelope from her elders as New Year’s greetings.
In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage. Although she looked forward to the Chinese New Year every year, that was only because the food in the orphanage was better during the Chinese New Year. Not only could they eat meat, but they could also eat dumplings.
As for the rest, don’t even think about it. After all, being able to eat delicious food is already good enough.
After the children finished their worship, Chen Yueshu, Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su also took out new clothes that they had made for everyone in the family.
"Come, let's see if it fits!"
The three of them distributed the clothes to everyone. The whole family was very happy to get new clothes, especially the children:
"Wow, thank you, mother, aunt and aunt!"
"Yes, yes, the new clothes are so beautiful, thank you for your hard work, mother, aunt and aunt!"
"Ahhh, I'm going to wear new clothes tomorrow. Thank you so much, mother, aunt and cousin!"
It is a custom to wear new clothes on New Year's Day. So tonight before going to bed, Leng He, Leng Jiaren and the others would fold their new clothes neatly at the head of the bed, and fall into sweet dreams with anticipation and joy in their new clothes.
Everyone received a gift, and Leng Yan also took out two wooden boxes from his room.
"Aunt, this is for you!"
As she spoke, she handed the item over. "It's not something expensive. I just happened to see two silver hairpins when I was shopping in a silver shop with my aunt. I thought they were especially suitable for you, so I bought them."
"Yes, yes, Sister Yan fell in love with it at first sight when she walked in, and she said it was especially suitable for you two!"
Leng Su also echoed from the side.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yueshu and Zhang Cuiniang looked at the exquisite and gorgeous silver hairpin in the wooden box and liked it more and more. In the end, they naturally accepted it happily.
It was still early, and they had to continue staying up all night, so the family chatted while eating. Leng Su and Leng He and the others even took out ropes and played cat's tangle to pass the time.
I ate a mountain of melon seed shells in front of Leng Yan. I had never felt that time passed so slowly.
In the past, I was so busy that I never had to touch the ground and could sleep as soon as I got into bed, and I didn’t feel anything. But now I have been idle for a few days, especially when I stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, I can only stare and eat, with no activities to kill time. It’s really painful to endure the time.
If this happened in the previous life, mobile phones, televisions, computers, poker cards, mahjong, and Werewolf would all be good at killing time. Time would even pass by like quicksand without us even noticing it.
