Nuannuan, Lele and several cats at home ran around behind her brother. Dahuang was playing in the snow, and the accumulated snow was dug up by it.
"Come on, kids, check if it's stuck right."
Gu Mingli held the word "Fu" on the door with one hand and reached out with the other hand to grab the little girl's head.
Nuan Nuan held her head and muttered, "A little more to the left, okay, okay."
Although the word "Fu" written with a brush is not as fancy and beautiful as those modern handicrafts, it is very meaningful.
This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Of course, they prefer the ones they wrote by themselves.
The next few days will be a holiday, and my father and brother will give the company's employees a holiday. Of course, there will still be some overtime, and it's all voluntary. The overtime pay during the New Year period is doubled. And those who work overtime are also allowed to celebrate the New Year together in the company.
Nowadays, fireworks and firecrackers are no longer allowed in cities, so there is less excitement and people can only turn on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala or gather together to play cards or mahjong.
Everyone comes out only when cooking. Fortunately, their kitchen is big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
But there is a downside when there are too many people, it's too noisy.
"Guan, bring me a plate."
"When the boss tells you to wash the vegetables, he doesn't mean you should wash all the leaves!"
"Gu An! Put the knife down, what if you stab someone?"
Amidst the noise and clamor, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.
Chinese New Year means it’s time to receive red envelopes. Nuannuan was dressed up like a lucky doll early in the morning, wearing a red cheongsam-style skirt with a circle of fluffy and comfortable snow-white fur collar at the neckline and cuffs.
Her mother had tied her hair into two little buns, and tied a ring with it that jingled every time she walked.
The whole person looks like a delicate little fairy who comes to your home specifically to bring blessings.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa, may you be in good health and live longer..."
The little girl's mouth was so sweet and she kowtowed to her grandfather when she greeted him during the New Year.
The old man quickly helped the little girl up, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, our Nuan Nuan also wishes you a happy new year today. Come here and Grandpa will give you a red envelope."
The money in the red envelope was all cash, and it was bulging and felt quite heavy in the hand.
The old man still had a look of regret - "This red envelope is too small and can only hold this much, but grandpa also transferred some money to you via mobile phone, remember to accept it."
Nuan Nuan——"…" Every Chinese New Year, her family members gave her the feeling that the money could not be given away but was forced to be stuffed into her hands.
What a sweet burden!
After wishing grandpa a happy new year, Nuannuan ran off like a little butterfly to look for other people.
As expected, they all received huge red envelopes. Like grandpa, they thought the money in the red envelopes was too little, so they used their mobile phones to transfer the money to her account.
Just like in the past, Nuannuan also went to visit her uncle, uncle and teacher this year to wish them a happy new year. She received another big red envelope and also practiced calligraphy with her older cousins for her uncle to see.
My uncle is a very serious teacher. Every year he checks whether the children’s calligraphy has improved.
Bai Jianyan sat on a huanghuali chair, his elegant demeanor making him look like an admirable old gentleman from the Republic of China period.
He slowly picked up the words written by the children and commented on them one by one.
"Nuannuan's handwriting has improved a lot compared to last year. It can be seen that you have been practicing seriously without slacking off. Very good."
Nuannuan happily showed off her neat and white teeth.
In one year, not only did her calligraphy improve, but she also made significant progress in other things she learned.
"Gu An."
Gu An, who was named, immediately stood up straight with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
"You haven't really put much thought into this in the past year."
Bai Jianyan glanced at the energetic young man.
Gu An touched his nose and smiled awkwardly - "What uncle? I want to study science in the future."
Bai Jianyan took a sip of tea and said, "Writing calligraphy has nothing to do with studying arts or science. It is just like writing, which is the most basic thing in our family. I don't expect you to become masters of calligraphy, but at least don't embarrass the Bai and Gu families by showing your calligraphy to others."
Gu An nodded quickly - "I know, I know. Uncle, I promise I will practice seriously in the future!"
Not to mention, his and his sister's handwriting would always receive praise from the teacher in class. Even if the Chinese teacher was not used to the essays he wrote, he would still praise his handwriting.
After playing at my uncle's house for two days, they returned to Lincheng and went to Xie's house to pay New Year's greetings the next day.
Xie Jingsheng gave her the same red envelope as before, which was a lucky bag filled with exquisite pure gold bunnies, small golden melon seeds and carp. Although she received it every year, she was still very happy when she received it, and her smile was so sweet.
"Thank you, Jingsheng."
Xie Jingsheng raised his lips slightly - "You still like it so much after receiving so much?"
Nuan Nuan raised her voice and said, "I like them. They are so cute."
She put all these little things that Jingsheng gave her in a small box, which contained a lot of them.
