The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

On New Year's Eve, the Lin family finally had a leisurely time. Except for Lin Chengzu's delivery to Jufulou in the morning, the door of the house was never opened again.

The same is true for other families in Linjia Village. They try to go out as little as possible on New Year's Eve, and come out again on New Year's Day to pay New Year's greetings to each family.

Lunches on New Year's Eve are generally casual, so Qian cooked up a few random dishes, and the family ate a hasty meal with rice.

Compared with lunch, the meal in the evening is very rich, because dinner has to be eaten from Shen Shizhong until the sun has completely set, that is, from four o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, almost two hours.

From the time the family had lunch, Qian began to prepare dinner, trying to use 100% of his skills to prepare the most sumptuous meal for the master.

When Qian was preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Xiazhi came over to give him some advice from time to time. I have to say that although Lin Xiazhi didn't like to go into the kitchen, he was very keen in cooking, and his opinions were very pertinent.

Lin Xiazhi and Qian Shi were busy in the kitchen, and Li Xiu directed the men in the family to do the cleaning, not sparing any corner.

The Lin family's house was newly built this year, and it is usually cleaned very diligently. Except for some dead corners, there is almost no dust in other places. Even so, Li Xiu wants everyone to clean it up for the New Year.

After tidying up the house, I drove everyone to take a hot bath and put on new clothes before sitting down to rest and waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner.

After Qian made the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Xiu also asked him to take a shower and change clothes.Li Xiu of Zhao Da's family also gave them enough denim and cotton to make a suit of clothes, and asked Qian to make new clothes for the family.

There were only five members of the Lin family, but the New Year's Eve dinner was filled to the brim with more than a dozen dishes.

As for Zhao Da's family, they can only eat in the kitchen, and the variety of dishes is not so rich, there are only seven or eight dishes.

The ethos in Jin Country has always been like this, servants are not allowed to eat at the same table as their master, Lin Xiazhi can only say that he does as the Romans do, although the concept of master and servant is not obvious in his heart.

The meals on the night of the New Year's Eve must be cooked more, and the rest will be kept for the first day of the new year, which means that there will be more than enough every year.

Before starting to eat, Zhao Da led his family to kowtow to the master, thanking the master for taking care of them in a year, and saying some auspicious words of blessing.

When the head of the family speaks, Lin Xiazhi will think about what to say in advance and teach Lin Huzi, so that he will not be in a hurry and lose the majesty of the head of the family.

In the last month of this year, it was very hard to wholesale tofu at home. The Lin family gave Zhao Da and Zhao Dong five taels of silver as a reward each. A lucky red envelope of ten pennies.

After the reward was given and the pleasant words were finished, Lin Huzi announced that he would start eating the Lin family's New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

After Zhao Da’s family left, Lin Chengzu took out four red envelopes and gave one to Lin Xia and one to Lin Chengzong. These two red envelopes were filled with five taels of silver, which was his brother’s wish, and the remaining two The red envelopes are for filial piety to father, and each red envelope contains ten taels of silver.

Then Li Xiu also took out the red envelopes prepared for the three children, each with a tael of silver.

Lin Huzi also took out three red envelopes, but his ones were relatively small, with only [-] Wen in each red envelope.

Everyone knew that Lin Huzi had no money, and he didn't know when he saved up the sixty cash red envelope.

As an elder brother, Lin Xiazhi also prepared a red envelope for Lin Chengzong. The money stuffed in the red envelope was the same as Li Xiu's, one or two pieces of silver.

So at the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, Lin Chengzong became the biggest winner, receiving the most red envelopes, totaling 4.

However, it was Lin Huzi who received the most money. He only paid sixty cash, but received ten taels of silver.

Regardless of whether there is more or less money, as long as he receives a red envelope at the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Chengzong will be very happy. The Chinese New Year was not so good before.

The New Year’s Eve dinner really lasted for two hours. Everyone ate while chatting. When the dishes were cold, they took them to the kitchen to reheat and continue eating. Lin Huzi stopped chopsticks after the sun went down, and Zhao Da’s family who were eating in the kitchen also stopped. Chopsticks, Qian took the initiative to enter the room to clean up the food on the table.

Tonight, all the grown-up men in the Lin family will watch the night together, and they will not go to bed until the first string of firecrackers of the new year is set off at midnight.

The rest of the family can go to bed first, but they may not be able to sleep well. From midnight onwards, every household will set off firecrackers one after another, making it very noisy.

Lin Xiazhi had developed the habit of going to bed early, and he started yawning not long after eating, but his stomach was still full and he didn't want to lie down and sleep.

When it was time to pass the time, Lin Xiazhi suddenly thought of a very popular card game in his previous life - Doudizhu. Of course, the name in Jingguo must not be called Doudizhu.

I found some blank straw paper and cut the paper into the size of my palm.Lin Chengzong had the best handwriting at home, and Lin Xiazhi asked him to help write serial numbers and draw simple patterns on the cards.

There is no big king and little king, only four suits with thirteen cards in each suit, and a simple deck of cards is finished.

The rules of Fighting the Landlord are also simple. After explaining it to the family twice, and playing it for a few rounds, everyone has learned it.

The night was long, and with the distraction of the card game, the time seemed to pass faster. It was not until Zhao Da came to remind everyone that the midnight was approaching.

In a hurry, he put away the cards and hung the firecrackers he bought before the door. When the sound of firecrackers was faintly heard in the distance, Lin Huzi also lit the firecrackers of the Lin family.

All the happy and unhappy things of the previous year are gone with the sound of firecrackers, and what greets them is a better life in the new year.

Lin Xiazhi stood in the night, the sparks from the firecrackers were reflected on his face, so he couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment.

It has been half a year since he came to this world, and Lin Xiazhi doesn't know how his parents and brother are doing. He just graduated, and he hasn't had time to be a filial piety in front of his parents. He only hopes that his parents can gradually reduce the sadness of losing him. These, tears rolled down the corners of Lin Xiazhi's eyes.Seeing the happy Lin family smiling at the courtyard gate, Lin Xiazhi wiped off the tears and smiled again.If he comes, he will live in peace, and he will live a good life here, so that these simple people can live a good life.

The sound of firecrackers in the village also rang out sparsely, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers and dogs barking and cocks crowing. After about two quarters of an hour, it gradually returned to silence.

Everyone was sleepy at this time, so I washed with warm hot water in the kitchen, and then went back to my room to rest. Tomorrow morning is the first day of the new year and I can't get up late.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Lin Xiazhi was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door.

"Brother Xia, Zong'er is waking up soon. You can't sleep in late on the first day of the new year, be careful that you will become lazy throughout the year." Li Xiu knocked on the door one by one to make sure they were all awake before leaving.

Children's bodies need enough sleep. Because Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzong stayed up late last night, their daily biological clocks didn't work. However, they both got up one after another after Li Xiu opened the door. They didn't want to be lazy.

"If you haven't slept enough, come back later and continue to sleep after paying New Year's greetings."

It was also early in the morning. Li Xiu and the other adults seemed to be in good spirits, but Lin Xiazhi, Lin Chengzong, and Zhao Nan were sleepy, and they almost fell asleep while standing and washing.

Lin Xiazhi took a scoop of cold water from the water tank cruelly, and washed him with cold water, which finally made him sober.

Lin Chengzong and Zhao Nan followed suit by washing their faces with cold water, and they were all shivering from the cold.

Washing up in a hurry, putting on this year's new clothes, the whole family is full of energy, ready to have breakfast.

Lin Xiazhi took Lin Chengzong to stand by the table, and greeted Lin Huzi, his wife and Lin Chengzu: "Happy New Year, Dad and Grandma, I wish the business at home will be prosperous day by day, and I wish Grandma's embroidery skills will get better and better."

"Okay, okay." Lin Huzi sat on the main seat and smiled happily.

"Happy New Year, children, and Ahma is here to wish Zong'er a better academic performance this year, and both Chengzu and Xia Ge'er can talk about good marriage."

Lin Xiazhi tried his best to make his expression not look strange. It's fine to say kiss to the elder brother. Why do you want to drag him? I'm still a baby begging to let him go.

The Lin family is just an ordinary farmer with no culture, so they can't say how gorgeous words of blessing, everyone said a few happy new year to each other and started eating breakfast.

Fortunately, the Lin family had breakfast early, and as soon as Mrs. Qian cleaned up the tables in the main room, people from the Lin family village came to pay New Year's greetings.

The first one to come was Tuesday Gen. There were only father and son in his family. After Tuesday Gen had cleaned up his father in the morning, he immediately rushed over to give the Lin family New Year's greetings.

"Uncle Huzi, Happy New Year, Ah Xiu!" Zhou Yigen entered the door carrying two big baskets of New Year gifts, "Thanks to you for taking care of me this year, my father and I can have a good year. I’m here alone to wish you New Year’s greetings.”

On Tuesday this month, selling tofu made almost ten taels of silver. The family can finally eat meat and wear clean and warm cotton clothes during the Chinese New Year.

"After all, our help is limited. It is up to you to work hard and work hard. The good times for you and your father are still to come." Li Xiu likes this hardworking and honest child.

Zhou Yigen is not a person who can speak beautiful words, and he is ready to leave after the New Year greetings.

Lin Xiazhi had expected this kind of situation before, so he prepared some return gifts at home, a piece of dried fruit, a piece of snacks, and a pack of candies, all good things that can be used during the Chinese New Year: "Brother Ergen, this It’s our family’s wish, and we need you to support our family’s tofu business next year.”

On Tuesday, Gen took the gifts from the Lin family, and felt a little embarrassed. What he gave were some wild goods, and eggs he exchanged from people of the same clan. Almost every household had these, but the gifts from the Lin family could only be bought in the town. nice one.

Seeing Tuesday Gen's hesitant look, Li Xiu pushed the things into his arms: "Ergen, our family always returns gifts like this to everyone, you don't have to be embarrassed."
