On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were crackling sounds outside early in the morning, and every family was setting off firecrackers.
For children, the Chinese New Year is the happiest time of the year.
For adults, the Chinese New Year is also the most relaxing and reunion time of the year.
People today are not as stressed as those in the 21st century, and their lives are simpler.
People in later generations are too seriously involuted and have great pressure in life.
Dumplings are cooked early in the morning every year, and dumplings are eaten during the Chinese New Year.
We had the New Year’s Eve dinner at the old house last night, and after the meal I chatted with Mrs. Gu Da and Mrs. Gu Er.
Mrs. Gu is about to give birth in two months, and her belly is already quite big.
Zhou Suisui also felt quite sad, as if Lin Sanmei was a thing of the past life.
Lin Sanmei really hasn't done anything good, so it's good that she's worth remembering.
"You can wear new clothes today." Zhou Suisui said to the three children.
The eldest, second, and third children immediately ran over and put on their new clothes.
"Mom, the new clothes feel so warm." Sanwa said while touching the new clothes.
"Aren't you usually dressed warmly?" Zhou Suisui asked.
"It's warm too, but I still prefer new clothes!" said Sanwa with a smile.
"Sanwa, let's go and find Brother Shitou to play with!" said the eldest boy happily.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you some food so you can share it with your friends when you get out."
Zhou Suisui put some melon seeds, peanuts and some candies in the pockets of the three children, and then they ran out to play.
Zhou Suisui was alone at home, thinking about what to cook for dinner.
There’s no need to go to the old house today. We just went there for a meal yesterday. We don’t need to go today.
Zhou Sui Sui took out some beef and planned to make beef stewed with radish. He also took out two pig's trotters, which tasted delicious when stewed with soybeans. Zhou Sui Sui liked to eat it this way.
There was no fish in the old house yesterday, so we made some fish today. Fish is essential during the Chinese New Year, as it means there will be abundance every year.
After finishing, Zhou Suisui went to rest. He got up too early in the morning and needed to sleep for a while.
At noon, Zhou Suisui got up, washed his face, and cleaned the house.
Da Wa and the others are playing in the old house now. The children from the first, second and third rooms are all together.
Dahua was the oldest child there and didn't want to play with these kids, so she just watched from the side.
Shitou plays with Da Wa, Er Wa and Guo Jiaming, while San Wa plays with Xiao Ya and Er Hua.
Da Wa and Er Wa took out candies from their pockets and gave them to Shi Tou and Guo Jiaming.
"Brother Shitou, here's some candy for you. These orange-flavored and grape-flavored candies are my favorites," said Big Baby.
"Brother Jiaming, I have some peanuts here for you to eat." Erwa also said.
"Thank you, Big Wa and Second Wa, younger brothers. Aunt San is so nice to you." Shi Tou said enviously.
Although his mother was very kind to him, he could not eat these snacks casually, unlike the eldest and second child, who could eat them whenever they wanted.
"My mother asked me to share this with my good friend. Brother Shitou, you are my good friend!" Erwa said innocently.
Dahua saw the candies in their hands and was so greedy that she walked over and said, "I want some too. Give me some."
The eldest and second children looked at Dahua and said, "We don't want to give it to you."
"Why?" Dahua asked shyly.
"Because you are not our good friend."
The eldest and second oldest children have never liked their older sister, and it has been like this since they were young.
When we were young, we always bullied them, so they didn't want to give it to us.
"Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Dahua wanted to threaten Da Wa and Er Wa just like she threatened Er Hua.
"Then you try it, we will definitely beat you down!" Big Wa is not a coward and is not afraid at all.
It is normal for little boys in the village to fight with each other. The eldest and second oldest boys are among the children in the village for a reason and they never admit defeat.
They felt that their father was a soldier defending the country, so as a soldier's son, he naturally had to be brave too.
Shitou then stood up and said, "Dahua, if you dare to hit Da Wa and Er Wa, I will tell Uncle Er and Grandpa, and you will definitely get beaten."
"Then why can't you give it to me? You just don't like me and don't want to play with me." Dahua said aggrievedly.
The eldest and second oldest children thought about it and took out a piece of candy from their pockets.
"Here you go. Stop being so unreasonable. My mother said that children should be reasonable. We don't like it when you ask us for candy in that tone." Big Boy expressed his thoughts clearly.
Dahua was silent for a while, and realized that she was indeed wrong.
"I see. Then will you give me back the candy?"
"for you."
"Okay." Dahua reached out and took the candy from Da Wa's hand, feeling happy.
Big Brother and the others continued to play together.
Guo Jiaming remained silent, but his body was always blocking the elder and second children, fearing that they would be bullied.
For Guo Jiaming, he is very content with his current life. Uncle Gu is very good to him, and Erhua is also very good.
As for Dahua, it’s good that she hasn’t been looking for trouble recently. We can’t be friendly but at least we are living in peace.
Moreover, he is about to have a younger brother or sister, and he actually hopes that his mother can give birth to a younger brother.
If it was a little brother, then my mother would be able to live a stable life in the Gu family for the rest of her life.
Moreover, he already has a younger sister named Erhua, and he doesn’t have a younger brother yet, so he really wants one.
It’s hard to imagine that a young child would think so much.
This is probably why children with more experiences tend to mature earlier and their minds mature earlier.
The children played together for the whole day and were still reluctant to leave when they separated in the evening.
Zhou Suisui was almost done with cooking by this time.
While cooking, she was thinking how difficult it was to be someone else's mother.
Just like growing flowers, you have to water and fertilize them every day. For example, she is not hungry now, but she still has to cook because several children need to eat.
These children will enjoy a happy old age if they can meet her.
The original owner was not as reliable as her.
Erwa said it while we were having dinner in the evening.
"Mom, I don't want to eat meat anymore. I've had enough. I want to eat vegetables."
Zhou Suisui: “…”
"Okay, I understand."
Erwa said this when he was playing with Shitou again.
"I've had enough of meat. Alas, eating too well is also a kind of trouble."
Stone:"……"
Guo Jiaming next to him: "..."
"Why aren't you talking? My mother promised me that I'll eat more vegetables in the future." Erwa said happily.
Shi Tou and Guo Jiaming glared at Erwa and turned away.
"We won't play with you anymore, go play by yourself," said Shi Tou.
The eldest brother touched his younger brother's head and said, "You are still too young." Then he left.
Erwa: “…”
