Chapter 514: New Year
Lu Jingshen and Lu Guojiu started hanging lanterns today because there were too many of them. If they had to hang the lanterns and paste the couplets together tomorrow morning, they might not be able to finish.
So I hung up all the lanterns today.
There are two particularly large red lanterns at the gate. There was a place for hanging lanterns on the gate buttress, so it was very convenient.
There was already a door light, so there was no need to pull wires.
In the yard, medium-sized lanterns were hung at the entrance of each factory building, and strings of colorful lights were hung on each door.
There were also red lanterns hung in front of the door, a row of small red lanterns hung on the windows on both sides, and two strings of small red lanterns hung on the balcony on the second floor.
Once these are hung up, the atmosphere becomes festive instantly.
In the afternoon, Lu Jingxue sent two big carps to their home, saying that they were caught by a friend and were fresh and alive.
Lu Jingshen also brought some fruits and other things back to Lu Jingxue.
In the evening, Lu Lin also came with Xiaobao. There was nothing special, they just came to take a look, sat for a while and then went back.
On the morning of the 30th, they got up and started pasting couplets. Lin Xiaoxia also joined in, but her task was to check from a distance whether the couplets were in order.
Lu Guojiu and Li Wensong applied the glue while Lu Jingshen and Lu Jingyuan went out to paste the paper. Lin Xiaoxia checked to see if it was done properly.
Li Shaofen has already started preparing lunch, and the house is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
However, Lin Xiaoxia didn't need to help with cooking today. It was difficult for her to even enter the kitchen now, as Li Shaofen was determined not to let her do any work.
After lunch, Li Wensong helped Li Shaofen wash the dishes.
Li Shaofen looked at her nephew and said with emotion: "Wensong, your aunt will take care of your father's affairs. You just need to work hard. In two years, your aunt will buy you a house and help you get married."
Li Wensong said, "Aunt, no need. You and uncle have been very good to me. I can earn money and buy a house myself after saving for a few years. I'm not in a hurry to get married."
Lu Guojiu just happened to come in and heard what Li Wensong said: "You are not in a hurry to get married. If you meet the right girl, can you still keep dragging her out of marriage? Don't forget what your uncle told you. You are our child. Isn't it our duty to buy you a house and marry you off?"
Li Wensong looked at Lu Guojiu and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, uncle." He knew that he didn't need to say any promises. Anyway, he would take care of his aunt and uncle in their old age and treat them like his own sons.
Lu Guojiu smiled and touched Li Wensong's head: "You are too worried, don't think too much, we can handle everything anyway."
Li Wensong nodded again: "I understand, uncle."
"I still have something to do, please help your aunt with the work." Lu Guojiu went into the house to make a phone call.
Li Shaofen continued talking to Li Wensong.
Lin Xiaoxia fell asleep again at this time. She just sleeps too much.
There was not much to do in the afternoon. The dumpling fillings were chopped, the dough was kneaded, and the dishes were prepared. The family sat down and started playing mahjong.
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were playing cards. She didn't want to sit for long, so she took turns playing with Lu Jingshen.
Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu played against each other. Lu Guojiu couldn't sit for a long time. He still had some sequelae after the major surgery.
Lu Jingyuan and Li Wensong were both in high spirits, each holding a hand of cards. After all, they were planning to win money.
Of course, no matter who wins in the end, these two guys can’t be made to pay out any money.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the family gathered around the table, making dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Listening to the familiar songs with a sense of time, Lin Xiaoxia felt even more touched. Her impression of her previous life seemed to be becoming increasingly vague, and sometimes she even felt that it was a scene from a dream.
Only when she looked at the people and things in front of her did she feel at ease.
After wrapping the dumplings, Li Shaofen took the dumplings covered with the curtain to the yard and placed them there. In winter, the outdoors in the north is a natural refrigerator. She just needs to wait until it is time to welcome the gods and cook them.
Lin Xiaoxia sat on the edge of the kang, touching her belly which was just starting to bulge. This child felt most real to her.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxia touching her belly, Lu Jingshen quickly went over to ask her, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Do you want to lie down for a while?"
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and shook her head: "No, I just hope that when we watch the Spring Festival Gala next year, there will be one more little troublemaker."
Lu Jingshen also smiled: "I hope it's a girl, a girl as beautiful as you."
"I'm not a little girl anymore, but I also like girls who are quiet and gentle." Lin Xiaoxia always wanted to have a daughter, comb her hair, make beautiful clothes for her, and dress her up like a princess.
Lu Jingyuan said from the side: "I hope it's a nephew, and I'll leave all my treasures to him."
Li Wensong said, "I hope it's a niece. She must be beautiful."
Lu Guojiu said: "Boys and girls are fine, as long as they are healthy and safe."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled after hearing what her father-in-law said, "Dad is right. As long as they are healthy and safe, that's all that matters. Boy or girl, they are all my children and they are all treasures."
After talking for a while, they started to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Lu Jingshen and the others went to the kitchen to help.
At 11:40, the food was ready, Li Shaofen started to cook dumplings, and Lu Jingshen and the others set up the fireworks and firecrackers in the yard.
As the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala began and the New Year's bells rang, Lu Jingshen and his brothers went out and lit firecrackers. The new year had arrived again.
Lin Xiaoxia stood in front of the window looking at the fireworks outside, and it seemed as if there were fireworks in her heart as well, so beautiful.
Li Shaofen's dumplings were cooked, so she came out to watch the fireworks. Lu Guojiu brought the dumplings to the table and joined in.
Lin Xiaoxia was the first to wish Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen a happy new year: "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad."
Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu both took out red envelopes and gave them to Lin Xiaoxia, saying words of blessing.
The fireworks outside were lit, and Lu Jingshen and the others came in to wish their parents a happy new year and happily received red envelopes. No matter how old you are, you will always be a child in your parents' eyes.
Everyone washed their hands and started eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There are coins and candies inside the dumplings.
Lin Xiaoxia ate the candy, which was indeed happier than eating money, because she was no longer short of money. She just hoped that this year would be sweet.
Soon everyone had eaten the lucky dumplings, except Lu Jingyuan. He anxiously ate one after another. After everyone had finished eating, he was still eating the lucky dumplings. Finally, his hard work paid off and he got to eat a sugar dumpling.
Their family spent the New Year in joy.
But not everyone has this kind of happiness.
A fight was about to break out with Wang Jinfeng in the city. Zhao Meiling was getting more and more troublesome and never suffered any loss. She was especially good to her daughter, giving her the best food, clothing and other necessities. They had no money to begin with, but she still spent so much money, buying her new clothes from head to toe for the New Year. This made Wang Jinfeng very angry.
Wang Jinfeng looked at other people's children and thought of her own grandson. Although Wang Jinfeng was selfish, Lu Jingxin was also the grandson she watched grow up and was always by her side. Now her own grandson treated her like an enemy, while other people's children were enjoying themselves. She felt very upset.
