Celebrating the New Year with Chapter 139
Shen Zhang thought of Su Zhi's gentle and graceful way of eating melon seeds without throwing them away, her generous sitting posture, and her elegant manners while eating. She frowned slightly, which reminded her of many bad things. She shook her head gently.
"You should be nicer to her in the future. This woman is hard to control, and Zi'an listens to her. If we make trouble, we will be separated from Zi'an again."
Shen Youfu nodded, thinking about what happened today, his brows furrowed even more. He should be happy to know that his son and daughter-in-law, whom he cared least about, had made progress, but that happiness faded when he realized that he had lost control of them. Now he could only think about how to get along with them first, and then wait until his most beloved youngest son succeeded and became a high official. By then, he didn't believe that the couple would not come to curry favor with him, and then he would control them well.
That night, the Shen family talked a lot and thought a lot. Apart from the rogues in the Zhao family, they talked the most about Shen Zian and Su Zhi. This changed their minds about Shen Zian and Su Zhi.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi didn't think about these things at all. They were still busy living their own lives.
Soon, the New Year arrived. In this time and space, there are not so many things to pay attention to during the New Year, nor is there the custom of eating porridge on Laba. However, the process is similar, that is, cleaning the house, preparing food, and then having a reunion dinner at home on the 30th day. On the first day of the first lunar month, the family visits relatives, and on the second day, the women go back to their parents' home. The rest of the day is to visit relatives and give gifts. This is the lively and lively until the 15th day of the first lunar month, which is the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is now called the Full Moon Festival. It was more lively than the Chinese New Year because there would be lantern festivals in the town and the county. Many people would go to watch, and it would be crowded and lively.
Su Zhi listened to Shen Zian talking about the Lantern Festival. She was very eager. She had never been to a lantern show at night before. The scenes in those TV dramas she saw on TV were very lively, with crowded people below and colorful lanterns above. The scene was really beautiful.
In the TV series or movies I watched when I was a child, it was easy to meet your heart-thumping partner at the Lantern Festival. Then you will have a good or bad relationship.
Su Zhi already has Shen Zian, and now she loves Shen Zian with all her heart, so naturally she won't think about encountering such a charming scene. She is just interested in such a lively and gorgeous occasion, and she wants to walk in such a scene with Shen Zian. Will Yawen Romance feel like a date? She thought about it and felt that it would definitely be very romantic.
"Wife, I'll take you there and buy you a lantern. What kind do you like?"
Shen Zian looked at the smile on Su Zhi's face and thought that his wife liked the Lantern Festival, so he must take her there. He didn't go before because he thought it was meaningless, but now he has a wife. Naturally, he wants to make her happy. He heard that there will be many people at the Lantern Festival, so he will definitely protect his wife well.
Su Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I want a lotus one."
Shen Zian nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I want the lotus one. My wife sometimes has the fragrance of lotus flowers on her body. It's the right time to hold a lotus lantern."
Su Zhi has seldom used lotus pollen these days, but it seems that she still has the fragrance of lotus sometimes. It can only be smelled when you are close to her. It appears from time to time, very faint, but more pleasing. When Shen Zian hugs her at night, he always likes to smell her scent. They always start to do embarrassing things while smelling it. Then they fall asleep together while hugging each other. Such days are as beautiful as a dream. Because Shen Zian likes to smell it, Su Zhi still uses it, but she uses it less often.
On New Year's Eve, Shen Zian took Su Zhi out. They were going to have lunch at the old house, and then go home together in the evening to celebrate the New Year.
Xiao Hei was clamoring to go out, so Su Zhi took him with her. Xiao Bai naturally followed closely. And ever since Da Hei met the black dog from Mrs. Li's house, he always likes to go there too. The two dogs stick together and can't be separated. At first, Bai Lang would try to keep an eye on them, but then he didn't care anymore.
Su Zhi found it very funny because the black dog in Sister Li's house was also a female dog, and White Wolf was actually on guard against even a female dog. It turned out that White Wolf was not only a jealous husband, but also a jealous husband who was on guard against even the opposite sex. She felt that White Wolf's majesty was really discounted, and she also felt that it became more adorable.
When the black dog arrived at Li's house, he barked twice. Then the door opened. Li smiled and said, "I knew you were outside. Heizi wagged his tail when he heard the barking. Are you going to the old house? Are you leaving the Holy Beast family here with us, or are you going to sit for a while?"
Su Zhi looked at Dahei and Heizi standing together affectionately, thinking that Xiaohei and Xiaobai would definitely go with her, and if she left Dahei here, Bailang would definitely stay, and then Sister Li's family would definitely be polite to the Holy Beast Guest, which would disturb the atmosphere of his family's New Year celebrations. So Bailang couldn't be left here.
"Dahei, do you want to stay here? Why don't you come with us?"
Su Zhi asked Dahei, she knew that Dahei could understand, she now understood, no matter whether the white wolf family could understand human language before, they could understand it now. Although she was surprised, she accepted it and felt that it was more convenient to communicate this way.
Dahei looked at Su Zhi, fiddled with the black dog for a few more times, and finally ran to Su Zhi's side.
Bai Lang glanced at Su Zhi. Why did Su Zhi feel that this guy's eyes were praising her? Could it be because she separated his wife from the black dog? This guy really made people want to laugh.
The family said goodbye to Sister Li, and then walked slowly on the street. Even now, Su Zhizhi still felt like she was walking in a movie city when walking on such country streets. Only when she saw Shen Zian beside her did she feel involved and felt that she really existed in this time and space, and she felt at ease.
It snowed again a few days ago, but not too heavily, only a thin layer. Many people were diligent and swept the roads in front of their homes. After a few days, the ground was no longer so sticky. But those places that were not swept still had white snow, which looked a bit bleak and cold.
Su Zhi wore a cape and gloves, but she didn't feel cold at all. She looked at the scenery here at ease. She greeted everyone she met on the road. Su Zhi watched Shen Zian talking to them, and she also said a few words on the side, playing the role of a gentle young wife with a smile on her face. She thought to herself that it was impressive to go out with the family of the Holy Beast. Seeing that those people didn't dare to get too close, Su Zhi, who didn't like others getting too close, felt much more comfortable.
When we arrived at Shen's house, we saw Dalang and a few others standing in front of the door. It turned out that they were preparing to set off firecrackers. That long string of red firecrackers looked very festive.
When the kids saw Shen Zian and his companions coming, they all came over happily. Shen Zian handed them the things in his hand, including a chicken, a piece of bacon weighing three pounds, a basket of eggs, a bag of sugar, and a few pieces of cloth. As for the silver, he would hand it over to the elderly in the family in person later.
Silang and Golang stared at those things with their eyes wide open, and shouted that they wanted to eat meat.
Erlang glared at them and said, "Didn't I let you eat meat yesterday? Why are you still so greedy? You have to take it as a shame because you are our family, Uncle and Aunt. If it were anyone else, you would be so ridiculous. You are really disgracing the Shen family. Go inside and stop shouting outside the door."
Silang and Wulang were startled and ran towards the yard.
San Lang glared and said, "Why do you scold my brother? He just said he wanted to eat meat. What does it have to do with you? Why don't you let people eat meat?"
Erlang's eyes were bigger than his, and he said, "You can say you want to eat meat, but there should be a time. It's so embarrassing to yell in front of the door like this. Have you forgotten what the grandfather said? It's a pity that I let you all wear new clothes. No matter how nice the clothes are, it's still embarrassing!"
Sanlang said, "When I get rich, I'll see if you still say that to me!"
"When you become rich, I will say the same thing to you!"
Erlang watched Sanlang run into the yard and stood there talking. Then he saw Shen Zian and Su Zhi still looking at him. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Auntie Si, I didn't scold them because they wanted to eat meat. I also wanted to eat meat. It's just that Silang stole Chunyun's meat yesterday and made Chunyun cry, so I scolded them."
Su Zhi said, "Of course I know Erlang is not a bad boy, but you should talk to your brother properly in the future, otherwise the relationship between you two brothers will be ruined. They are still young and don't understand what is right and wrong. If you don't explain, they will not know and will think you are a bad brother. And if you don't explain to others, they will think you are a bad brother who bullies your brother, which is not good."
Da Lang patted Er Lang and said, "Fourth Aunt is right. Don't do this again in the future."
Erlang felt that what Fourth Aunt said made sense, and she was very gentle when she explained things to him. He felt that she was much better than his mother. Erlang decided to ask Fourth Aunt if he had any questions in the future.
Su Zhi didn't expect that just a few words from her would make Erlang admire her even more.
At this time, someone else came out from the yard. They were Shen Zifu, Shen Zigui and Shen Ziping. They came after hearing Sanlang and others say that Shen Zian had arrived.
Dalang and Erlang brought the things in, Shen Zigui picked up the firecrackers with a bamboo stick, and Shen Zifu went to light them. A huge firecracker sounded, emitting bright light and green smoke in the air.
Firecrackers were very expensive at that time, and it was considered good for a family to set off one string of them, just for the sake of good luck, unlike today when people set off firecrackers all night long. After setting off the firecrackers, they would just see the red shredded paper at the door, and that was enough.
