Chapter 116 Winter Festival (2/2)



Zheng suppressed her anger and said, "They need to rest."

"Dad, I don't want to play anymore. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm sleepy." Zhao Xiaoyu rummaged through the coins in front of him, stuffed them into his arms, threw down the cards, and left. She didn't want to go crazy with them. Life was so long, there was no need to rush.

After Zhao Xiaoyu left, the two of them found it boring to play, so Liu Shunzi hung his head and was dragged away by Zheng.

Uncle Zhao felt that he had not eaten enough at night, so he asked Song to cook dumplings for him.

Zhao Xiaoyu took off her clothes and fell asleep.

The next day, at dawn, Zhao Dashu pulled her out of bed and said, "What time is it? You are still sleeping. Come on, let's go to work!"

Zhao Xiaoyu was angry.

What do they take her for? I was not allowed to sleep at night or during the day.

Zhao Xiaoyu was furious because of the anger and the bad temper. "Dad, if you push me again, I will burn the playing cards."

Zhao Dashu quickly said, "I just mentioned it casually, and you got so upset. Your mother has prepared breakfast and asked you to get up and eat."

I don't believe you. Her mother never urges her to get up. Anyone in the family might be hungry. There's no way to save him.

"Big Tree, hurry up, Xiaoyu, why are you taking so long?"

Zhao Xiaoyu lay down with her head covered by the quilt. Zhao Dashu went out in frustration. There was nothing he could do since his daughter didn't cooperate.

When she woke up, she found a fortune on the table.

Wow, you found a partner so quickly? They fought while she continued to draw another one.

Three days later.

"Fuck, go steam some buns. 5 for 5!"

"I'm busy. Go steam it. 678910..."

"Xiaoyu!"

Lihua looked at the adults blankly. Sister Chunmiao, who used to play with her, now didn't accompany her anymore and was having more fun than anyone else.

Zhao Xiaoyu stood aside and continued to paint resignedly. Because, when they got excited, their hands became stronger and their destructive power was extremely strong. More than a dozen small wooden boards were broken.

A few days ago, I scolded men for not wanting to be like these two women, especially obsessed.

Poor her, she has to be both a father and a mother. After taking care of the older one, she has to take care of the two younger ones. She is truly doing this. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to read the storybooks. She just worked like a slave for them.

Busy days always go by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s almost the winter solstice.

The Winter Solstice is comparable to the Chinese New Year, and every household attaches great importance to it.

㱗Two days before the winter solstice, the adults in both families automatically stopped playing cards and got busy preparing for the festival.

People eat dumplings in the morning on Winter Festival and then go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors. In the evening, I will cook two more dishes at home and eat better.

"Dad, how many dumplings should we make?"

"Make more and freeze what you can't finish." He likes eating dumplings, and they taste good no matter what filling they are filled with.

Song received the order and went to knead the dough. There were still plenty of dumplings in the dumpling yard, and there were also some for Xiaoyu's Qiankun bag, but they were not packed.

"Dad, what should we give to the old house tomorrow?"

During the winter festival, in addition to preparing offerings for ancestors in the ancestral hall, people also have to send gifts to their own elders. They are splitting up the family, not severing their relationship, so they have to get along on the surface.

"Give some ingredients, one for each of dad and mom, something dark and aged, five pounds of meat, three pounds of mutton. They're both old and haven't eaten mutton at all." Zhao Dashu thought about it. The old house didn't have any money this year, so he sighed, "Add two jars of wine."

Zhao Xiaoyu listened silently. In fact, among the sons, the most filial one should be her father. Unfortunately, the old man and the old woman did not know the value of things and they disliked her father the most.

"I understand. I'll clean it up later. Where are the other elders?"

In winter, there are two festivals that are particularly important and require giving gifts: one is the Winter Festival and the other is the Chinese New Year. Gifts are heavy during the Winter Festival, but lighter during the Chinese New Year.

"Two pounds of meat and one fish for each family. Just prepare four servings." He was not close to them, so there was no need for the gift to be too expensive.
