Parents are busy farming

When Ye Zifen moved the panel out, she saw Ye Yongwang rubbing his wrist.

"I'll boil some hot water. You can apply a hot compress on it!" Ye Zifen said.

She wanted to say why so many people came this year, but she was not allowed to complain during the Chinese New Year, so she could only swallow those words in her stomach.

"Okay! It's been a long time since I've written for such a long time!" Ye Yongwang shook his head helplessly.

Put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

The night of New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve, and they eat dumplings directly here.

But what everyone looks forward to the most is that people in the village will light bonfires and set off firecrackers, and the children will happily chase each other around the bonfire.

Because there is a bonfire, it doesn't feel cold. This is the moment that the children look forward to most.

After the Ye family finished eating, Wang Tinghe and Xiao Qi were left at home while the others went out to play.

Their family would bring out a lot of firecrackers every year, and Ye Yongwang would take them to the bonfire and set them off.

Zi Zifen held a long bamboo pole and tied the firecrackers to the bamboo pole when the firecrackers were set off. The crackling was very exciting.

People in the village who had eaten early had already lit bonfires. When everyone saw the Ye family approaching, they took the initiative to give up a seat.

Zhang Gaoyi came over and directly took the bamboo pole from Ye Zifen's hand.

Then Ye Yongwang lit the first firecracker.

Villager A: "The Ye family has brought out so many firecrackers this year. No wonder their lives are so good. All the evil spirits have been eliminated."

Villager B: "Look, the people from the Lu family walked directly to the Ye family. They came directly empty-handed? This is to take advantage of the Ye family!"

Villager A: "Oh, whoever owns it belongs to whoever it belongs to, even if you can deceive God!"

Villager C: "That's right, I despise them the most for their unattractive appearance. Look at them. They are always prosperous and grand. They have been writing Spring Festival couplets to the villagers this afternoon. Look at them again..."

Ye Zifen looked at everyone's smiles and also saw the performance of the Lu family.

She directly distributed the firecrackers brought from home to the people in the village and asked them to light them.

Everyone has fun together during the Chinese New Year, which is also his original intention of buying so many firecrackers.

Ye Zifei and Ye Ziwei are already playing with everyone.

After Ziwei exercised for a while, it can be seen that she has become much more flexible.

Very few kids can catch her.

Zhang Gaoyi did not play with them, but stood aside and watched with Ye Zifen.

"I want to ask you something!" He finally couldn't help but speak.

"What?" Ye Zifen looked at him and asked.

"Can you teach me how to read next year?" Ye Yongwang asked without any shyness.

"Why do you want to learn to read?" Ye Zifen asked.

"I just feel that I can learn more things after becoming literate, and maybe it can change my life." Zhang Gaoyi has a maturity that is not found in people of the same age.

"Okay, after exercising in the morning, I plan to do some business in the afternoon. You will be my bodyguard then, and I will teach you how to read." Ye Zifen said.

"Okay!" Zhang Gaoyi agreed without any hesitation.

Everyone dispersed after playing until the end of the day, and the children began to look forward to going to other people's houses to ask for candies tomorrow morning.

After everyone goes home, Ye Yongwang wants to stay up late.

Ye Zifen originally wanted to accompany him, but he refused.

"You're still growing, go back and rest quickly! I'll have some good tea by myself, and I'll be over in a while."

"Okay! Let's go back!" Ye Zifen did not insist because she was indeed very tired today.

Ye Yongwang took out his collection of good tea, brewed a pot and sat in the back room drinking it alone.

Ye Zifen felt that she had just slept for a while when she heard firecrackers going off again outside.

'A new year begins! 'Zi Zifen said to herself while half awake and half asleep.

Then he continued to sleep.

As soon as Yinshi arrived, Ye Zifen got up, put on an old cotton-padded jacket and started to cook underwater dumplings with firewood.

Today’s firewood is made of sorghum stalks, and the kind that are very long. It means there will be firewood to burn in the coming year.

There are a lot of things to pay attention to during the New Year, but it's good to get used to it. Without it, you won't have the feeling of celebrating the New Year.

Boil the water and put the dumplings frozen yesterday into the pot.

When the dumplings are cooked, put them into five small bowls, five in each bowl, and bring them to the offering table.

The things celebrated during the Chinese New Year are usually numbers three or five.

By this time everyone was up.

Ye Zifen scooped up all the dumplings in the pot, while others burned yellow paper to worship their ancestors.

Then the children at home gave Ye Yongwang and Wang Tinghe hundreds of years.

The happiest moment has come, that is giving red envelopes.

This year they only have their own children, and the couple have prepared money, even for the youngest Zifang.

Then Ye Yongwang went to the yard and set off a firecracker.

The donkeys and cows in the backyard have been scared to death these days, and they can hear such harsh sounds from time to time.

They moved around in the cowshed, shrinking behind each other.

Zi Zifen and the others started eating dumplings, "It's delicious!" Zi Ziwei said with a smile after eating one.

The mouth is still bulging.

"Eat more!" Ye Yongwang poured a little vinegar into a small bowl.

"Are you going to my uncle and grandpa's house to pay New Year's greetings soon?" Ye Zifen asked Ye Yongwang.

"No, since we are relatives, we can't go today. You can just go to other people's homes in the village to pay New Year's greetings later." Ye Yongwang said.

"Okay!" Ye Zifen agreed.

"Are there any dumplings in the pot?" Wang Tinghe asked.

"Yes! I paid attention and kept them! (Two dumplings should be left in the pot for cooking dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which also means having more than enough every year)" Ye Zifen said.

"That's good!" Wang Tinghe picked up Zhi Fang and put a dumpling that was not too hot into Zhi Fang's little hand.

Ye Yongwang took a look and quickly picked up Zhi Fang.

"You're pregnant! It's hard to get pregnant, but be careful!" Ye Yongwang said angrily.

After breakfast, there was already a little light outside. It is estimated that people in the village will come to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

Ye Zifen took out the candies she bought, as well as the peanuts and melon seeds she roasted at home, and put them all into the dustpan.

Returning to the room, she changed into new clothes. Ye Zifei and Ye Ziwei had already changed their clothes.

The three sisters were wearing the same color clothes and combing their hair in the same bun, standing there smiling.

"Sister, Xiaoliu, let's go!" Ziwei called them to go to the village to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as he left the house, he saw many children coming to his house.

"There are so many people here, do you have enough candies?" Ye Zifei said with a smile.

"That's enough!" Ye Zifen said confidently.

*

After eating dumplings at the Lu family's old house, Lu Dashan and Lu Li were sitting in the main hall, waiting for Ye Yongwang and his children to come to pay them New Year's greetings!

But neither the left waiting nor the right waiting came. Even the people from the village have come to the door, but they haven't come yet.

Lu Dashan knew that they would not come, and the red envelope he had prepared was a bit too hot to handle.

He wanted to ease the relationship between the two families by giving red envelopes.

But I didn't expect that the Ye family had been hurt to the point of despair.

"Stop being so sentimental. That white-eyed wolf doesn't want to have anything to do with us anymore?"

Mrs. Lu Li looked at Lu Dashan with a sneer on her face.

"It's not because of you that you always do things so absolutely! Do you think he is still the same Lu Yongwang who let you beat and scold him?"

Lu Dashan said with a cold face.

"Without him, my life will go on as usual. I will pretend that I never gave birth to this beast!"

Lu Li said forcefully.

"Ha!" This time it was Lu Dashan's turn to sneer.

"Then don't come to them again if you have any problems!" Lu Dashan immediately entered the back room after saying this.
