Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, everyone woke up early, including two-and-a-half-year-old Chu Ran.
There are still many things to do today, including preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner and, most importantly, worshiping our ancestors.
Speaking of ancestor worship, Chu Yao remembered one thing. They used to bring the children to worship Chu Yao, but ever since Yang Hang had the dream, they removed the tablets and never mentioned it to A Zhao and the others again.
A Zhang and A Xuan were still young at the time and had forgotten about this incident.
They later forgot about this matter, and it was not until everyone got together this year that Chu Yao remembered it.
Chu Yao slapped her head in amusement.
"What are you doing? Are you dissatisfied with your own intelligence and want to smash your head?" Lin Ling said.
"Don't worry, Mom, I won't be broken. I inherited my intelligence from you. Even if my head is damaged, I won't be stupid. Don't worry."
"Hurry up and say it, it's New Year's Day, why are you saying this?" Lin Ling patted Chu Yao's arm lightly.
Chu Yao stuck out her tongue, forgetting that today was New Year's Eve.
There are a lot of rules for New Year’s Eve here, so you’d better keep a low profile.
There were many snowflakes floating in the sky. The children were happily chasing the snowflakes, while the adults were doing their own things.
Yao Jinnian and the others sat aside playing chess and watching the lively scene in the courtyard.
As the older brothers and sisters, Fu Fu and Le Le were very patient in playing with the younger ones. But because A Zhang was too naughty, when he wasn't paying attention, he poured the snowflakes he caught in his hands into Lele's collar.
It’s cold, really cold.
It’s really noisy.
So, it was like the door to a new world had opened, and they all wanted to learn A Zhang's moves, but Lele was the one who suffered.
In the end, Fu Fu couldn't stand it anymore and joined A Zhang in forcing him to drink, and it ended up turning into a melee without exception.
The little brat Chu Ran didn't know whether to help this or that, and he was so anxious holding the snow water in his hands.
Chu Yao saw this scene at the kitchen door and couldn't stop laughing. Her little nephew was really so cute.
Wu Siyu probably saw that Chu Yao wanted to go out and play strongly, so she said that Chu Yao was no longer needed in the kitchen and asked her to go out and play.
Chu Yao happily hugged Wu Siyu, then took a step forward and walked out.
"Ajie, Ayu, if you want to play, come together. We're here in the kitchen."
Seeing this, Zheng Yu and Zhao Jie also ran out. They hadn't played like this for a long time.
After a while, a layer of snowflakes was faintly spread on the ground, but after their noise, the ground was filled with messy footsteps, and the white snowflakes suddenly turned into gray.
They've had enough fun.
So I started to clean up the mess on the floor.
"Ayao, come and take a shower quickly, otherwise you might catch a cold." Lin Ling called Chu Yao and the others to go in and take a shower.
Today is New Year's Eve. We must wash ourselves thoroughly in the old year, and then we cannot take a bath from the first to the third day of the new year.
This means that the water does not flow out. Water represents wealth, and some people are very superstitious about this.
Chu Yao herself didn't care, but she had to listen to her mother, so she obediently went to the bathroom.
The others also started to clean themselves up, and as for the children, they were all left to their father.
Poor Yang Hang had to take care of three people, but he had already gotten used to it.
The New Year’s Eve dinner usually starts around seven o’clock. Chu Yao remembers that the first Spring Festival Gala was held in 1983.
Although we have already bought a TV at home, it is better than nothing, just a little expensive.
Moreover, the televisions nowadays are only in black and white, not in color. Chu Yao herself doesn’t care, but A Zhao and the others seem to like it very much.
Later, other home appliances will be purchased slowly.
As usual, the whole family stays up together during the Chinese New Year.
