I got up early the next day.
His daughter-in-law and Chen Ying both got up earlier than him and had already prepared breakfast.
They ate noodles and rice dumplings, along with the fried food they made yesterday, and they were all quite full.
Afterwards, Chen Wang took the little girl and Dong Qinghua to put up Spring Festival couplets at home.
It should be pasted on the main gate of the mansion, the gate with hanging flowers, and the doors of several rooms.
For this reason, Chen Wang bought several pairs of couplets when he was shopping for New Year's goods in the town.
Lin Xiuqin and Chen Ying were also busy. They started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening and said they would make two more pots of braised dishes.
Any meat left over from hunting at home can be braised. This way it will taste good and can be preserved for a longer time.
I just ate something casually at noon.
After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Wang went to the utility room to get a shovel and a broom, as well as some other things for ancestor worship.
The daughter-in-law held the little one in her arms, and Chen Ying took the little girl out of the house together.
"Brother Hua, you stay home and watch TV. We'll be back soon."
Chen Wang said to Dong Qinghua with a smile.
"It's okay, don't worry about me."
Dong Qinghua smiled and nodded.
Chen Wang led his family out of the yard and came to his parents' grave.
He gave the yellow paper, incense and candles to the little girl, then he took a shovel and cut off the weeds and branches around.
Chen Ying took a broom and carefully cleaned the area around several tombstones.
After everything was done, Chen Wang took the things back from the little girl, lit the candles first, then burned incense and yellow paper for his parents, and knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Wife, give Ping Ping to me."
Chen Wang stood up and turned to Lin Xiuqin and said.
Lin Xiuqin nodded slightly and walked forward to hand the little guy to him.
Chen Wang held the little guy in his arms, looked at his parents' tombstones, and said slowly: "Dad, Mom, you have a grandson, did you know that? He's a big fat boy, he can eat and sleep, but he likes to cry a little. I don't know who he takes after, but it's not me..."
He talked on and on, from the little guy to the yard built this year, and then to the little girl going to school.
Behind him, Lin Xiuqin, the little girl and Chen Ying stood quietly, listening to his words, their eyes gradually became moist.
"Okay, I've been a bit long-winded. Let Xiaoyu and your daughter-in-law say a few words to you."
After saying that, Chen Wang stepped aside with the little guy in his arms, and nodded at his wife and the little girl.
Lin Xiuqin stepped forward, knelt down, and clasped her hands together in a bow.
I don’t know what she said in her heart. After a few minutes, she stood up, walked to Chen Wang with red eyes, and took the little guy.
Then the little girl and Chen Ying came forward one after another, kowtowed and spoke some of their true feelings.
After paying homage to my parents, I also burned incense and paper for my grandparents next to me.
Finally, Chen Wang fired a whip and returned home.
After returning home, everyone started busy preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.
This is not about one person.
It is difficult for one person to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
The process of preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner with the family is also very happy and enjoyable.
After all the ingredients were prepared, everyone made dumplings together.
There were laughter and joy in the house, and from time to time outside the house, firecrackers could be heard. Some were used to worship their ancestors, while others had already started eating the New Year's Eve dinner.
Some families with many relatives have to eat at several families’ houses in a row, so the times have to be staggered.
Generally, after 12 noon, some people start preparing their New Year’s Eve dinner.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner were served one after another.
Chen Wang, Dong Qinghua and the little girl helped serve the dishes, while Chen Ying assisted Lin Xiuqin.
The three dogs, the little monkey and the little fox smelled the fragrance and followed Chen Wang and his companions as they ran back and forth.
When most of the dishes were served, Chen Wang walked to the incense table to burn incense and pray, then walked out of the yard with a large firecracker, unpacked it and lit it.
The sound of firecrackers is very loud, as if it means that there will be good luck and peace in the new year.
Back in the house, Lin Xiuqin placed the last plate of braised carp in the middle of the table, and all the dishes were served.
The entire round table was almost full.
There are fried foods made yesterday, braised dishes made today, as well as stir-fried dishes, braised fish, and pork rib soup.
This New Year’s Eve dinner is not bad compared to the New Year’s Eve dinner of an ordinary family in the era before Chen Wang traveled through time.
Everyone sat around the dining table. Chen Wang filled Dong Qinghua's glass of wine first, and then his own.
"Sister, would you like to drink some too?"
Chen Wang asked Chen Ying with a smile.
Chen Ying nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll have a drink too."
Chen Wang poured her a glass as well.
My wife and the little girl were both drinking beverages, pouring them into the cups in front of them.
"Come on, come on, Happy New Year!"
Chen Wang raised his glass with a smile.
"Happy New Year!!!"
Everyone picked up their cups and cheered in unison, with bright smiles on their faces.
After drinking a cup together, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
"Brother Hua, sister, thanks to you, this year's New Year's Eve dinner is much more lively."
Chen Wang said to the two of them with a smile.
"No, no, no, I should be the one thanking you. Without you, Ying and I might not know where to go now, and we can't buy tickets back to Yangcheng at this time."
Dong Qinghua smiled bitterly and raised his glass to toast.
"Awang, sister-in-law, Xiaoyu, I toast to you."
After saying that, he raised his head and took another sip of wine.
"He's right, Awang, sisters, thank you so much."
Chen Ying agreed with gratitude on his face.
Lin Xiuqin waved her hands hurriedly and gave the two of them a gentle smile.
"We are all family, why are you being so polite!"
Chen Wang rolled his eyes in annoyance, put a piece of fish into his wife's bowl, and asked casually, "What are your plans?"
Chen Ying and Dong Qinghua looked at each other and replied, "If my parents don't take back those conditions, we will buy the earliest ticket back to Yangcheng. I will find a way to bring my household registration book with me and get the marriage certificate with him there first."
"Sure, sis, I support you!"
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
"Sister Ying, I support you too."
The little girl agreed with a smile.
"Brother Hua, you have seen my sister's determination. You must be nice to her, or don't let me see you."
Chen Wang made a threatening smile.
Dong Qinghua smiled widely, patted his chest, and promised, "I won't say anything, just watch me perform. If I do anything bad to Ah Ying, you don't have to do anything, I will slap myself."
"I'll remember that."
Chen Ying looked at Lin Xiuqin and the little girl with a serious expression and said, "Xiuqin, Xiaoyu, please remember it for me, so that he won't deny it in the future."
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile.
"Sister Ying, I remember it. Don't worry, I have a good memory."
The little girl also agreed seriously.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing her serious look, everyone was amused.
