Mr. Transcendence

After one day after another, the New Year's Eve finally arrived in everyone's anticipation.

Because there is a rule of not posting Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers for three years after the death of an elder, Yuan Anping did not go alone, but went to Huo Xiaohan to continue to join in the fun.

"The paste is ready, and I'll leave it to you to paste the Spring Festival couplets." Huo Xiaohan gave the paste basin to Yuan Anping, and he went to chop the dumpling stuffing himself.The dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year have to be made today, so the job of chopping the dumpling filling is not easy.

Yuan Anping took the paste basin readily, and said to Zhong Sunrui who was holding the firecracker but did not dare to light it: "Come on, Xiaorui, help me look at it, so that I don't post it crookedly."

"okay!"

Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the morning of New Year's Eve, and firecrackers are set off to eat dumplings at noon.Today is a fine day. If you pass by someone’s door and take a look inside, you will be able to see dumpling stuffing being chopped in the courtyard.Different from the past, the Chinese New Year's dumpling stuffing seems to be unusual, and you have to move the chopping board to the yard to feel that it can be used.

Yuan Anping pasted up the Spring Festival couplets, washed his hands, and gave Zhong Sunrui a piece of candy: "You don't have much work, go play."

After Zhong Sunrui took the candy and told his grandfather, he happily ran out to play.

Yuan Anping went over to take over Huo Xiaohan's work, let him rest for a while, and then started chopping stuffing himself.The dumpling stuffing needs to be finely chopped, which is really a test of wrist strength.

Seeing Zhongsun Lianjue sitting leisurely, Yuan Anping smiled and said, "Old man, everyone is busy, so don't think about being idle. You can help me make dumplings later."

Huo Xiaohan hurriedly said: "No, no, I can take care of it by myself."

Yuan Anping continued to insist: "How can it be done? The New Year must be lively. What is lively? Everyone is busy. Old man, don't say that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. I am chopping stuffing."

Zhongsun Lianjue said cheerfully: "You just talk a lot and make a lot of nonsense. Okay, I'll do it later. If you tell the truth, you, the apprentice, will eat it for me."

Hearing what he said, and imagining the consequences, Yuan Anping felt that it seemed that he had better not do anything, so as not to waste such a good dumpling, the meat is all good pork belly.Yuan Anping suddenly understood Zhong Sunrui's mood when he saw him reaching out to cook, waste!

Yuan Anping re-said: "I think you should just rest. If that's the case, I might as well do it myself."

Huo Xiaohan couldn't help but suggested: "Brother Anping, why don't you roll the dough." Don't make dumplings.

Yuan Anping looked deeply at Huo Xiaohan: "Xiaohan, you really think highly of me!"

"?"

Yuan Anping's subordinates said, "Don't you think that rolling dough requires more skills than making dumplings?"

Thinking about it, Huo Xiaohan also felt that his idea was a little unreliable, and if the dumpling wrappers were rolled out into strange shapes, he might not be able to wrap them well.It seems that it is safer to let him make dumplings.

After the dumpling stuffing was mixed, there were unexpectedly three people when making the dumplings.Zhongsun Lianjue felt that it was quite interesting to join in to work, and whether the other two were welcome or not was out of his consideration.

Looking at Zhongsun Lianjue, whose skills were similar to his own, Yuan Anping was both relieved and worried. He didn't have to worry about the dumplings being exposed and asking him to eat the dumpling wrappers, but no accident, he had to be responsible for destroying these strange-looking dumplings.

Yuan Anping thought to himself: "No, I will tell Xiaohan later that when serving dumplings, you must not favor one person over another, and everyone should share the strange appearance."

Before the dumplings were put into the pot, Yuan Anping handed the lit incense to Zhong Sunrui who was still a little hesitant to light firecrackers: "Are you going? If not, I can go."

After some mental struggle, Zhong Sunrui still wanted to go, so he took the incense.

Yuan Anping encouraged: "Don't be afraid, just light it and run, it will never blow you up."

Zhong Sunrui plucked up the courage to go, walked to the firecrackers, withdrew his body far away, stretched his arms and lit them with incense.Not sure whether it was lit or not, I ran away.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Anping found that it was not fried. Yuan Anping approached to have a look and found: "Xiaorui, you are not lit. Come here and order again. When it is lit, we can eat dumplings. Hurry up—" Continue to encourage, "For the dumplings, order it!"

"For the dumplings!" Zhong Sunrui bravely stepped forward again.

Zhongsun Lianjue, who watched the scene in front of him, smiled and was relieved, finally allowing Xiaorui to live a normal year.

The firecrackers were finally lit, and with the sound of firecrackers, Huo Xiaohan put the dumplings into the pot.He looked at the dumplings in the pot with a smile in his eyes, it was different this year and even in the future.

When there is the sound of firecrackers, the sound of firecrackers is heard from every house in the village one after another.

Yuan Anping helped bring out the dumplings from the kitchen, and then put the garlic and vinegar sauce he made in the middle of the table.After a few people sat down, "Come on, old man, please go first." The so-called elders come first, they can start eating after Zhongsun Lianjue moves the chopsticks.Some rules still have to be followed.

Zhongsun Lianjue picked up the chopsticks with a smile and picked up a dumpling.Yuan Anping immediately suggested: "Dumplings filled with meat are more delicious when dipped in vinegar."

Zhongsun Lianjue dipped it in a good manner, and then ate it, saying: "Well, Xiaohan is good at cooking."

Huo Xiaohan smiled happily.

Yuan Anping also took one, and nodded in agreement after eating it: "It's delicious. But don't eat too much, there will be a New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

The few of them are not like others, not to mention heavy work, and there is no oil and water in their stomachs, which is particularly edible.These days, their living conditions are very good, so they don't eat much.

For the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone is still looking forward to it.It's just that Zhong Sunrui is a little entangled, the dumplings are also delicious, he wants to eat more, but he is afraid that he won't be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at night.

Naturally, everyone didn't know his troubles, and happily ate the New Year's Eve dumplings.

After the meal, everyone was not idle, and they helped prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Although they didn't start now, they were about to start preparing.Of course, the first thing to do is to make dumplings, and make the dumplings for the first day of the new year.

The New Year's Eve dinner is not like before. It's not dark, and the dinner is over.Instead, we stayed busy until night fell, lit the lights, and everyone sat and ate together to celebrate the New Year and the members of the group.

The result of Huo Xiaohan's busy work is very rich, Zhong Sunrui looks at a large table of dishes, and feels really happy, the Chinese New Year is really good!

Yuan Anping poured them good wine, a small wine glass, drinking something meaningful: "I wish the coming year will be better, let's have a drink first."

"Okay." Zhongsun Lianjue raised his glass, Huo Xiaohan looked at the little wine in the glass, and raised the glass too, the three of them clinked glasses and drank the wine.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Yuan Anping couldn't help drooling. Everyone cooked the New Year's Eve dinner with extraordinary seriousness, and they also cooked troublesome dishes that they don't usually cook.Because Zhongsun Lianjue had already moved his chopsticks, Yuan Anping directly extended his chopsticks to the braised lion head that he wanted to eat most. So far, this is the second time he has eaten it. Of course, it refers to Huo Xiaohan's cooking.Mainly, this dish is a bit cumbersome to make.

After eating it, Yuan Anping's expression was very satisfied, and he couldn't help feeling: "In life, eating and drinking are two words, it's so right! Eat well, and feel good."

Huo Xiaohan smiled, Yuan Anping likes to eat his dishes, he is very happy.

Zhongsun Lianjue was not in the mood to lecture him, so he picked up a piece of meat for his grandson, and then said to Yuan Anping, "It's uncomfortable to eat too much."

Yuan Anping didn't care: "It's okay, I'll walk around the yard twice after I've eaten enough, anyway, I have to watch the night tonight, so don't even think about going to bed early."

The dinner was lively and lively, and it took nearly an hour to eat a meal.After dinner, everyone got together to talk for a while, and Yuan Anping had to leave.For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, there is no one in his house, so he has to watch the night by himself.

Huo Xiaohan sent him to the door: "Be careful on the road."

"Happy New Year." Yuan Anping kissed him on the cheek, which felt good, but here it was playing hooliganism.

When Huo Xiaohan was so ashamed that he didn't know whether he should slap him, Yuan Anping left cheerfully.

Looking at the back of Yuan Anping who was humming an unknown song, Huo Xiaohan said angrily: Mr. Zhongsun is right, Brother Anping's words and deeds must be taught!

Yuan Anping didn't keep vigil when he went back, and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.Huo Xiaohan was not so lucky, after midnight, lying on the bed thinking of Yuan Anping kissing him on the face, he couldn't fall asleep: this man is really...

On the first day of the new year, everyone pays New Year's greetings. Before dawn, everyone has to get up early, and then pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the family. At this time, the children have the opportunity to get lucky money, and then eat dumplings.After eating the dumplings, the elders wait at home, the younger generations of the village will come to pay New Year's greetings, and the younger generation will visit all the elders' homes in the village.

Yuan Anping got up early in the morning and went to Huo Xiaohan's place to eat dumplings first.

The three of them paid New Year's greetings to Zhongsun Lianjue, and Zhongsun Lianjue smiled and took out a red envelope made of red paper and handed it to them.

It was the first time for the two older ones to receive a red envelope in so many years, and Zhong Sunrui had no money to give him a red envelope before.Therefore, everyone was very happy to receive the New Year's money.

After eating the dumplings, Yuan Anping asked Huo Xiaohan: "Do you want to go with me to Uncle's house?"

Huo Xiaohan shook his head, he hasn't married Yuan Anping yet, how could he go to meet the elders together.

Yuan Anping leaned over: "Why did you ignore me? Is it because I..."

Huo Xiaohan glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yuan Anping grinned: "Okay, I know you're shy, so I won't say anything. You really don't want to go with me?"

"Don't go!"

Seeing that he was going to make people angry, Yuan Anping said: "Okay then, you stay at home with your husband, and I will take Xiao Rui there."

Huo Xiaohan touched his hot cheek after Yuan Anping left: "Brother Anping is really hateful sometimes..."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you should laugh when you meet and say auspicious words to each other, and you must not be in trouble.

Yuan Anping said auspicious words all the way to Uncle Yuan's house, paid New Year's greetings to Uncle Yuan, and asked Zhong Sunrui to follow Yuan Dahe and the others to wander around the village. Anyway, anyone who enters today can get something to eat, walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, how much Give them all.Yuan Anping, on the other hand, followed Uncle Yuan to the elders' homes in the village to pay New Year's greetings from family to family.The village head's house, the hometowns of all clans, and everyone who is famous and respectable in the village must go for a walk.

Yuan Anping knew that Huo Xiaohan's affairs were difficult to deal with, and if he wanted to be successful in the village, he had to maintain the relationship between the village chief and the clan elders, so he gave a copy of the annual gifts.Cannibals are soft-spoken but short-handed, Yuan Anping gave enough face, and they naturally wouldn't trouble him.

Walking down with Uncle Yuan, it's almost noon. After all, you have to say a few polite words before you go to anyone's house. If you have something to say, naturally you have to stay a little longer and leave in a hurry?Pure offense.

After wandering around, Yuan Gensheng reminded Yuan Anping that he had to visit Yuan Genshuo's house no matter what.Yuan Anping also knew that with his identity, even if it was just a superficial effort, Yuan Genshuo had to go there.

On the way back, he happened to pass by Yuan Genshuo's house. Seeing that the door of his house was open, he didn't know if the family had gone to pay New Year's greetings, so he stood at the door and shouted: "Is anyone there?"

Before waiting for a reply, Yuan Anping entered the courtyard: "Is uncle there? My nephew is here to wish you New Year's greetings."

After asking twice, seeing no one responded, Yuan Anping thought the family was gone and left.

In fact, Yuan Genshuo and his wife were in the house, but Yuan Anping came to the door, and they were not happy to see him, so they pretended not to be there.

If Yuan Anping found out, he would definitely praise them for doing a good job. After all, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was not happy to see the couple's faces.

After lunch, Yuan Anping returned to his home.In the morning, it is to pay New Year greetings to the elders, but in the afternoon, it is not so particular.So, some of the kids he taught might come over to play with him in the afternoon.

Yuan Anping put walnuts, red dates, peanuts and so on on the table. Seeing that he had free time, he took a book to read. There was no way, there were no entertainment activities here, but it made him concentrate on studying. He had tried to think, even if With a mobile phone, he can't help but wander off while reading.After all, scriptures are too boring.

"Brother Anping, happy new year, good luck!"

"Brother Anping, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

"Brother Anping, everything is going smoothly."

…………

Listening to these children chattering auspicious words, Yuan Anping said with a smile: "Not bad, but there are no red envelopes for you. There is something to eat on the table. Take it yourself."

Li Zi took the lead and said: "Brother Anping, if you say that, who would have the nerve to take it. You have to give us a share."

"It's quite polite. Okay, I'll share it with you." Yuan Anping smiled and picked up the fruit plate, and shared food and candy with the children who came.

After distributing the things, Yuan Anping said to them with a smile: "I also wish you good luck and success in the coming year, your wishes come true, and your studies will be successful."

After sending away batch after batch of children who came to pay him New Year's greetings, Yuan Anping suddenly felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment: "It seems that being a teacher is pretty good." I decided in my heart that I must teach them well, and I also hope that I students will be promising in the future.
