The old lady curled her lips and said that if he could just break even, he would be rich! You can't beat or scold your children during the Chinese New Year, or you will have to spend a thousand yuan to complain.
The dumplings are stuffed with cabbage and pork. Cabbage is a homophone for "baicai", which means wealth. Cabbage and pork symbolize prosperity and wealth coming in!
Wu Zhiqiu called the third and second brothers to come over and roll the dough. With so many people making dumplings, they had to make 600 dumplings, which weighed about 60 kilograms. The eldest brother was busy.
The second son, Li Xingye, hurried to wash his hands, and Xinghu and Xingyuan also came to help.
The third child held his stomach and said, "Mom, my stomach hurts! I need to go to the toilet first!"
"Your throat is straight to your asshole, you poop after you eat! If I ask you to do some work, you will either break your hair or your toe! Hurry up and get over here to work!" Wu Zhiqiu cursed while holding a rolling pin, as if he was ready to start a fight if they disagreed.
The brothers next to you are all eyeing you covetously, do you dare to run?
The third child could only reluctantly wash his hands. He was still a child! Why didn't Xingyi and Xingsong wash their hands? They grumbled as they washed their hands.
Whose kid would let someone cheat him out of a thousand dollars? How could a kid know how to date?
When it gets dark, the dumplings are all wrapped and frozen outside, so they can be cooked directly in the middle of the night or the next morning.
The men built a fire outside. The men at home would stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
The children couldn't hold on any longer and went to bed early.
It was past midnight, and the firecrackers in the village started to blast, and the gods were being welcomed.
After the Li family set off firecrackers, the dumplings came out of the pot. The children were all woken up, put on new clothes, and followed the adults to kowtow to the old man and the old lady to wish them a happy new year, saying auspicious words.
The old man and the old lady took out the red envelopes they had prepared, giving one to everyone, whether adults or children, to ask for good luck!
Next, they kowtowed to Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqiu, followed by Li Mandun and Liu Cuiqian. They all prepared red envelopes for the children.
Saying “Happy New Year” to each other among the younger generations is considered as New Year greetings.
After the New Year greetings, we started eating dumplings. Several young men stared at the dumplings and kept putting them into their mouths. They all wanted to eat them.
The third brother scanned each dumpling one by one, and each one looked like it had a coin in it. He ate faster and more than anyone else. While eating, he watched others pick up dumplings. Is it possible that there was a coin in it?
When the whole family ate all the dumplings, they didn't even have a coin.
Everyone...
"Maybe it's in the dumplings." There's still some left outside, to be cooked and eaten for breakfast tomorrow morning. What a coincidence, no one ate it tonight.
The third child held his belly and thought that there would be a baby tomorrow morning. The chances were even higher, so he had to eat one tomorrow morning no matter what!
After dinner, they cleaned up, the men stayed up all night, and the women went to bed because they couldn't stand it anymore. They were exhausted from the day and didn't stop. They were always busy and noisy.
The third child had nothing to do, so he took his second uncle's pen and drew two little people on his feet. One was named Li Xingguo and the other was a girl. He didn't write any names. He put on new socks and stomped his feet hard outside, trying to crush the two little people.
At 12:00 a.m. the next day, Wu Zhiqiu got up again. He had slept for more than three hours in total. His body was awake, but his mind was still dull.
Liu Cuiying got up earlier than her and cooked some dumplings this morning. She told Fenglan and the others last night that they didn't need to get up and she would serve them after dinner.
She had just left the kitchen when Fenglan, Chunni and Xiulan also came out.
"Mom, Second Aunt, go back to your room and take a nap. Leave this work to us," Feng Lan said.
"Didn't I tell you not to get up? Just cook some dumplings. I'll do it myself! Go back and get some more sleep." Liu Cuiying chased a few people.
"Your second aunt and I are here, you guys go back. There won't be much work for the children later!" Wu Zhiqiu also asked them to go back.
Several people refused to do anything, so they pushed Wu Zhiqiu and Liu Cuiqi back into the house. The three of them boiled water and prepared to cook dumplings.
Wu Zhiqiu went back to sleep for another half an hour, and the sound of firecrackers started to ring out again.
There are elderly people at home, and someone will come to pay New Year's greetings soon, so you should eat breakfast early.
