While the children of the Song family were having fun, a guest came to Xu Zhijin's place - Song Yuangang.
He brought over half a pound of pork and some rice, flour and other food. Xu Zhijin was quite surprised to see him coming.
"The kang is all thanks to you. It's New Year's Day today, so I sent you some things. Also, I took all the credit for the kang, and I always feel a little sorry for you." Song Yuangang put the things down and said with a guilty tone.
It was Xu Zhijin who first proposed the idea of a kang, and thanks to it, everyone in the brigade was able to spend the New Year in such warmth. His family also had a kang, and sleeping on it at night was truly comfortable.
Moreover, because of this kang, no accidents happened in the team. Not to mention other things, just take the Zhou family as an example. If it weren't for this kang, who knows what would have happened if the tiles fell.
However, because of Xu Zhijin's status, he couldn't tell the truth about the origin of the fire kang, so all the gratitude and praise fell on him. Therefore, Song Yuangang felt a little guilty.
Although these things were delivered, they were still far from enough compared to Xu Zhijin's contribution.
Xu Zhijin, however, didn't take the matter to heart. He didn't care who got the credit, as long as the result was good. Besides, if it weren't for Song Yuangang, he wouldn't have a kang in the cowshed where he lived. He didn't know how difficult life would be now.
So at this moment he waved his hands and said: "It's okay, if it weren't for you, this kang wouldn't be built."
Song Yuangang didn't argue with Xu Zhijin about this. In his heart, he always took credit for Xu Zhijin's contribution, and he just wanted to make up for it in the future. However, there was no need to say this out loud.
After all, the bullpen was a bit sensitive, so Song Yuangang didn't stay long. He left after asking a few questions.
After Xu Zhijin watched Song Yuangang leave, he turned his head to look at the things Song Yuangang brought on the table. After thinking for a while, he kept a small part of it and planned to send the rest to Zhao Rongsheng later.
He only needs to have a simple meal by himself, while Zhao Rongsheng's family of three can prepare a good meal.
......
The day was filled with joy and in the evening the Song family ate the plump, hot dumplings they had made.
They sat neatly in the main room, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of the festival.
Especially since good things have happened to the Song family one after another this year, their lives have been getting better and better, which has made the whole family feel that there is hope, and everyone's spirit seems different.
Things they had never dared to think about before, now they have experienced it -
Like hand-rolled noodles made with pheasant meat, a big bowl of braised pork, the mouth-watering cabbage and mutton soup, and now all-you-can-eat white bread and pork dumplings... Several of the children can afford to go to school, Song Jianye's leg has healed, Li Qingyan is an elementary school teacher in the county town, and Song Jianshe has even learned to drive a car...
Each of these things were things they had never dared to imagine before, but they have all come true.
Now the family lives in harmony and their lives are getting better and better, and they can't help but have a beautiful vision of the future on their faces.
"Mom, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother...third sister-in-law, happy new year." Song Jianshe said with a smile.
"Happy New Year."
Everyone started talking about it with a smile. The children at the table saw it and followed suit: "Big brother, second brother... Little sister Xiaobao, sweetie, happy new year~!"
"Happy New Year, happy and joyful!"
The kids at the table started grinning foolishly, some of them almost losing their eyes due to laughing.
Feng Guizhi also had a smile on her face: "Hurry up and eat, and see who can eat the dumpling with money inside. Whoever eats the money will get it, and will have good luck next year."
Upon hearing this, the little ones were so surprised that they didn't even have time to say anything. They quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating the dumplings in the bowl, hoping that they would be the first to eat the money.
Each person received a bowl of dumplings, and in the middle of the table was a vinegar sauce prepared by Feng Guizhi. Dipping the thin-skinned, richly stuffed dumplings into the sauce, the juices burst forth with every bite, creating a delicious aroma. The pork-filled dumplings were especially delicious; their flavor was truly unforgettable.
"Mmm, so delicious! The dumplings are so delicious!"
"I like milk-filled dumplings the most. Milk-filled dumplings are the best!"
"I...well, me too..." Yuanbao was eating and listening to his brothers' words, he spoke vaguely.
Just now they were anxious to eat more dumplings quickly, especially the dumplings with money, but now they slowed down, thinking: Such delicious dumplings, they have to eat slowly.
precious
Ya ate the dumplings in small bites, savoring each one with care. Although she had tasted many new foods since arriving at the Song family's house, and each one was incredibly delicious, if she had to pick a favorite, it would still be dumplings, especially those with pork filling.
Every bite she took made her feel particularly satisfied.
"The year is almost over, and it feels like a dream," Chen Xiuxiu said with emotion. Then, she couldn't help but laugh as she thought of something. "If someone had asked me last year what my biggest wish was, I would have said that my family could eat well and sleep warmly. Now, not only can we eat pork dumplings, but we can also sleep on a kang. Isn't that a wish come true?"
"Yes, a lot of things happened in our family this year, but in the end, they all turned into good things." Li Qingyan also said with a smile.
Sun Suyun agreed in her heart and then said, "But to be honest, our family gradually got better in the second half of the year."
At this point, Sun Suyun clapped her hands and said happily, "Hey, isn't it just the right time for Baoya to come to our house?"
Everyone at the table was stunned by Sun Suyun's careless words, then thought about it and realized it was true. Before Baoya came, the Song family was notoriously unlucky. Many unpleasant things happened, even Song Jianye's leg was inexplicably broken. But after Baoya came, Song Jianye's leg was healed, and he even got good things done for good people. Later...
However, they didn't think about it any further. They just smiled and said, "How about Baoya, she's our little lucky treasure? Baoya, Baoya, she's our treasure~!"
Chen Xiuxiu also smiled and asked, "Hey, have you forgotten Baoya's full name?"
"Yes, call Yunlai, Song Yunlai, and send it over!" Sun Suyun said excitedly as she slapped her thigh.
Feng Guizhi was a little worried that they would think of the special thing about Baoya, and thought about telling them, but seeing that they didn't think about it that way, she didn't mention it again.
Sun Suyun turned to look at Song Jianye and Yang Yulan again, and said with a smile: "Jianye, Yulan, your names are really good."
Song Jianye and Yang Yulan looked at each other and smiled: "We
I hadn’t thought about it that much at the time, it was my mother who told me.”
A table of people were talking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very warm.
At this time, the youngest table ate dumplings wrapped with a penny. Yuanbao stood up happily and said loudly, "Money! I ate money! Wow, I will have good luck! I hope I can grow taller next year and be as tall as my big brother!"
The other children were happy for Yuanbao, the first one to eat the money, but also felt a little disappointed. But soon, they also got to eat the "hard" dumplings.
"Ah... I, I got some too!" Yun Duo looked at the money coming out of her mouth, her eyes widened, and then she almost jumped up with joy, saying loudly, "I'm lucky too! I hope my grades can be as good as my big brother's next year!"
"I, I ate it too!"
"I...I have it too!"
“…”
Although everyone had some in their bowls, the little ones were still very happy. They didn't care how much money they got, they just thought that if they ate some, they would have good luck in the next year and their wishes would come true~!
Of course there was also a penny in Baoya's bowl. She slowly spat out a one-cent coin, blinked her eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her little face belatedly.
Tian En saw this and happily urged her, "Little sister...sister, you have one too, hurry up...make a wish, it will definitely come true next year~"
Baoya blinked, thought about it very seriously, and then made a wish silently in her heart.
......
The family finished their meal happily, and then began the main event of the New Year -
"Hurry up, kowtow to your grandma and ask her to give you New Year's money." Song Jianshe hugged Tiantian and urged the little ones with a smile.
Older people like Bowen Boyu were too embarrassed to kowtow, and Tianen and Yuanbao were also somewhat shy. Moreover, no one was willing to be the first, and there were so many people around, so they were all too embarrassed to go.
Seeing them like this, Song Jianshe smiled and took two steps forward: "If you don't go, then our Tiantian will be the first one, and all the New Year's money will be given to Tiantian."
As he spoke, Song Jianshe walked to the middle, facing Feng Guizhi who was sitting on the main seat, and holding Tiantian, he bent down and kowtowed to her. Tiantian, who was being held, didn't know what was happening. She just thought Song Jianshe was playing with her and giggled happily.
All the adults in the room were amused. Feng Guizhi also smiled and took out the New Year's money she had prepared and stuffed it into the outer pocket of Tiantian's clothes: "Well, my little granddaughter is still the most filial."
Chen Xiuxiu smiles
Then he walked to the open space next to him and said: "Come here, auntie has prepared the New Year's money, just waiting for Tiantian to kowtow." Song Jianshe came again with Tiantian in his arms, and the little girl clapped her hands with joy. Chen Xiuxiu stuffed the money into her pocket while laughing.
"Our sweetie has such a sweet smile."
Afterwards, Song Aiguo, Song Jianye, and the others kowtowed, and their sweet little pockets were filled with a generous amount of lucky money. Even though they were only a few cents, adding up to one yuan wasn't a small amount. Even in the entire brigade, you wouldn't find anyone giving out so much lucky money.
Li Qingyan smiled and patted Song Jianshe: "You really know how to make money with our daughter."
When the other children in the room saw so much New Year's money, they were all tempted. Then Yuanbao was the first to rush over, kneel on the ground and kowtow to Feng Guizhi, then look up at Feng Guizhi with shining eyes.
Feng Guizhi was amused again and took out the New Year's money and gave it to Yuanbao.
After that, I saw Yuanbao kowtow again and received a lot of New Year's money. The more he kowtowed, the more excited he became. Finally, he looked at Feng Guizhi and asked with shining eyes:
"Grandma, I'll kowtow to you again. Do you have any lucky money?"
Li Qingyan couldn't help but watch from the side, so she pulled her money-obsessed son up and glared at Song Jianshe with both amusement and anger.
Song Jianshe laughed so hard that he doubled over. He took out a hand and patted Yuanbao on the head: "You are worthy of being my son."
Chen Xiuxiu, Song Aiguo and the others were all amused by Yuanbao and laughed so hard that the whole room was filled with laughter.
With Yuanbao leading the way, Tianen, Baoya, and Yunduo followed suit, kowtowed, and received lucky money. Bowen and Boyu were older, so Feng Guizhi didn't ask them to kowtow, but simply gave them lucky money.
The group of children had a great harvest and were so happy that they almost jumped up to the sky.
At this moment, a sound came from far away outside, attracting everyone's attention.
The author has something to say: Baoya celebrates New Year's Eve, and we celebrate Qixi Festival, happy holidays everyone~
