Chapter 53 It’s Chinese New Year
Lin Nianyin roughly understood.
There are two things in total. One is that the cotton spinning mill wants to continue to expand production after enjoying some benefits; the other is about people and work.
Lin Nianyin nodded, looked over and said: "Let's not talk about people's matters for now. We can talk about it after the matter is confirmed. But if your factory wants to improve production efficiency, it can buy new machines. I remember that the machines in your factory are not new. They should had been in use for several years. I remember that there should be many new machines on the market now, and the work efficiency is pretty good."
"Hey, Teacher Lin, let me just tell you directly..." Li Xiangqian shook his head immediately and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Lin, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We have really thought about buying a better machine. Later, we went to big places like Beijing and Shanghai, but when we got there, we couldn’t afford it! It’s too expensive!”
Li moved forward and patted his thigh and sighed, "Not to mention that our place is small, but we really bought it. Looking back, we don't know how long it will take to recover the cost. This factory belongs to the country, and we can't keep losing money no matter what, don't you think so? .”
Lin Nianyin finally understood.
After thinking about it, Lin Nianyin said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon and we can't spare any time. It's useless to talk about it now. Let's wait until after the Chinese New Year to discuss this matter."
Li Xiangxiang probably felt that it would be unrealistic to ask Lin Nianyin to agree immediately, so he nodded and said: "Sure, let's wait until after the New Year. No matter what, I still bother you."
Lin Nianyin nodded and stopped chatting with Li Xiangqian. The group went to the photo studio to take a few photos as usual, and then went to the flea market and scrap recycling station for a walk before returning.
When they arrived home, those who had gone there with them had already returned.
Seeing Lin Nianyin and the others, they came over curiously and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to buy books? Why have you been there for so long without seeing anyone? We waited for you for a while, but we came back before you could wait."
Lin Nianyin couldn't say anything about the cotton mill, so she said, "We went to take pictures later, so we were delayed for a while."
"Are you taking pictures again?" they shouted.
Lin Nianyin nodded, "We thought that taking pictures is not expensive anyway, and it is worthwhile to have the opportunity to keep the children's appearance when they were young. When they grow up, they can take it out and look through it from time to time. It is quite commemorative."
They tutted, still feeling that Lin Nianyin was spending money indiscriminately.
But in the past two years, I also knew Lin Nianyin's temperament and knew that she didn't like to listen to some preaching, so I didn't say anything else.
There were only a few days left for the New Year, so Lin Nianyin thought about making clothes first.
That night, she first measured the two children and planned to take action.
When Principal Fang saw this, she said, "Xiao Lin, when you make it, make it a little larger. You don't have to make it so close-fitting. Children grow up quickly, and they won't be able to wear it when they turn over for the New Year."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Don't worry, I know."
That night, Lin Nianyin cut out the clothes for the two children.
After the little girl went to sleep, Wei Mingchuan saw that Lin Nianyin was still busy, so he went over and said, "It's too late, don't do it, do it again during the day tomorrow, you are hurting your eyes like this."
Lin Nianyin happened to be a little tired, so she simply put down the fabric and needlework in her hands, covered her mouth and yawned, saying, "I'm really sleepy too."
Wei Mingchuan reached out and pressed Lin Nianyin's shoulders and said, "Your muscles on both sides are stiff. It must be the result of working at your desk all day without exercising properly."
Lin Nianyin leaned lazily in Wei Mingchuan's arms, "Then just press it for me."
Wei Mingchuan bent down, picked up Lin Nianyin, and put her on the bed.
He adjusted Lin Nianyin's position again and asked her to lie down. While massaging her, he said: "How about I buy you a sewing machine later? I have been away from home most of the time in the past two years and I forgot to give her a sewing machine." You added these things.”
Lin Nianyin lay on the pillow and gasped for air. Wei Mingchuan quickly stopped and asked, "Why, I used too much force?"
"No, it's just right." Lin Nianyin shook her head while lying down, and then said: "There is no need to buy a sewing machine. I can't make clothes a few times throughout the year. I will just ask Aunt Yang or Principal Fang to borrow it later. There is no need to buy it. "
"Besides, it will be fine in a few years. I won't make any more clothes by then. It would be a waste to buy them, so forget it." Lin Nianyin added.
Wei Mingchuan thought for a moment and said, "I really don't want to buy it. It's much more convenient to have it ourselves than to borrow it."
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "There's really no need. Last time, Principal Fang said that she would bring the sewing machine from her home for me to use, but I didn't even ask for it. My clothes-making skills can't be said to be that good, which is only the normal level of most people. , I won’t specialize in these in the future, so there’s no need to buy them.”
"That's okay." Wei Mingchuan then relaxed.
After massaging Lin Nianyin's whole body to relax her, he hugged her and lay down and said, "Go to sleep. I'm afraid you will be busy in the next few days."
Lin Nianyin got up early the next morning.
She had breakfast with Wei Mingchuan, then took the fabrics and needlework she had cut yesterday and said, "I'll go to Principal Fang's house first. Xiaoxiao hasn't woken up yet, so you can watch her at home first. When she wakes up, Let her eat some food first, and if she comes looking for me, you can take her to Principal Fang’s house.”
Wei Mingchuan said: "Okay."
When Lin Nianyin arrived at Principal Fang's home, Principal Fang was also busy cutting the fabric she bought yesterday.
As soon as she saw Lin Nianyin, she quickly waved and said with a smile: "I guessed that you were coming over today. Come on, I'll be waiting for you."
Lin Nianyin walked over, put down the things in her hands, and then said, "Are you busy making clothes for Political Commissar Yang?"
Principal Fang sighed, "You have also seen that my craftsmanship has been like this all my life. There is no improvement. I have been working on it for a long time and I don't dare to start. I am just waiting for you to come and help me."
Lin Nianyin smiled, looked at the piece of fabric belonging to Principal Fang, and asked, "Have you measured the size for Political Commissar Yang?"
Principal Fang took a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Nianyin, then pointed at the fabric and said, "I marked it all. Look at what I cut. There should be nothing wrong with it, right?"
Lin Nianyin took the paper and compared it with Principal Fang's mark and said, "No problem. I will sew the two children's clothes later and sew them on for you."
Principal Fang held her forehead and said, "That would be great. Yesterday, Lao Yang said that I was just looking for trouble. He said it would be fine if he wore a military uniform. There was no need to make clothes for him. It was a waste. I followed him at that time. I regret it, you’re so good, why do you have to buy fabrics?”
Lin Nianyin smiled and said: "If we really do it later, you can see what Political Commissar Yang will say when the time comes."
With that said, Lin Nianyin checked the sewing machine, re-oiled it, threaded the needle and thread, and tried the machine. After finding that there was no problem, she started sewing the clothes of the two children.
Today's clothes don't have any special styles, nor are they too fancy. Lin Nianyin only cuts them according to the most basic style of a long windbreaker.
From stitching to buttoning, then trimming and ironing, Lin Nianyin and Principal Fang worked together and almost finished it in a whole morning.
Lunch was left at Principal Fang’s house.
Wei Mingchuan came with the little girl in the middle of the afternoon, and then took the little girl to play with Cen Wangsu.
When it was almost noon, he started cooking again.
After the meal, Wei Mingchuan still took care of the children.
Lin Nianyin and Principal Fang finally packed the two children's clothes and called Wei Mingchuan to bring the children in.
Lin Nianyin and Principal Fang each had a child and helped them put on new clothes.
Principal Fang had a full-length mirror at home, so Wei Mingchuan helped move it out.
The little girl immediately ran over to look in the mirror, twisting her left side, looking right, spinning in circles happily, and then raised her little chin and said to Lin Nianyin and the others: "Am I good-looking?"
Lin Nianyin immediately covered her eyes.
She didn't know when this little girl formed the habit of loving beauty so much when she was older.
Wei Mingchuan is someone who knows how to brag about his daughter, and he immediately said: "You're beautiful. Xiaoxiao is the most beautiful girl in our family."
"Hey!" The little girl started to laugh, and then twisted in front of the mirror.
Lin Nianyin pulled Cen Wangsu and looked around, then asked him to raise his hands and move his shoulders to see if there was anything inappropriate.
After the inspection was completed, Lin Nianyin asked the two children to quickly take off their clothes and wait until the New Year to wear them again.
Cen Wangsu quickly took off his clothes and put on his old clothes.
But the little girl didn't want to take it off anymore. She kept waving her hands and chest and said, "No, no, no... don't take it off, it looks good!"p
Lin Nianyin said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "I know you look good in what you wear, but if you wear it today, you won't have new clothes when the Chinese New Year comes. By then, other children will wear new clothes, and you can't wear an old one."
The little girl frowned and stared at Lin Nianyin for a while, then suddenly said: "Do one more thing!"
"What did you say?" Lin Nianyin's eyes widened immediately.
The little girl shook her head and said, "Mom, make one more thing."
Principal Fang immediately laughed and said, "Look at this girl in your family, she looks like a villain, and she even wants you to make another one for her!"
Lin Nianyin smiled and said, "As long as she talks about beauty and beauty, her brain becomes more flexible than ever."
Principal Fang said: "This proves that this child is smart."
The little girl probably understood and laughed along with "hehehe", "I am the smartest baby!"
Lin Nianyin raised her hand and pinched the little girl's nose, "You said you were fat and you still breathed, you petty little girl!"
The little girl slapped Lin Nianyin's hand away, twisted her waist and hid behind Wei Mingchuan, quarreled with Lin Nianyin and said, "Bad mother!"
Lin Nianyin deliberately raised her hand, pretending to hit her.
The little girl immediately closed her eyes, hugged Wei Mingchuan's thigh and shouted: "Daddy, help me, mommy is bullying the baby!"
Wei Mingchuan laughed, lifted the little girl up and said, "Let's go with dad, how about taking our baby out to play."
The little girl said loudly: "Okay!"
Then he hugged Wei Mingchuan's neck and "hummed" at Lin Nianyin, his pride almost breaking through the roof.
Lin Nianyin said: "Believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
The little girl wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm not afraid, I have my father to protect me!"
Lin Nianyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and deliberately threatened: "Okay, you have a father, right? Then, mother will never make you delicious food, make you new clothes or shoes, or tie you beautiful little ones." From now on, mom will only do braids for Brother Susu, not for you."
The little girl frowned immediately.
Wei Mingchuan hugged her and said, "Mom won't make you new clothes or tie your hair in new braids. But dad can't do these things. What should I do, Xiaoxiao?"
The little girl thought for a while, struggled to get off Wei Mingchuan, ran to Lin Nianyin, and hugged her thigh.
He also grabbed Lin Nianyin's clothes and tried to crawl on top of her.
Lin Nianyin deliberately said with a tigerish face: "Little girl, what are you doing?"
The little girl smiled coquettishly at Lin Nianyin and said, "Mom, Xiaoxiao loves you the most. Xiaoxiao is her mother's good baby."
Lin Nianyin couldn't help but want to laugh, but this child was so funny, so she couldn't help teasing her and said, "I don't believe it. You just said you loved your father the most and that I was a bad mother. I was sad."
The little girl stretched out her short hand and patted Lin Nianyin's leg, "Mom, you're not sad. Xiaoxiao loves her mother the most."
Lin Nianyin said: "What about dad? Didn't you just say you love dad the most? Which one do you love the most, mom or dad?"
The little girl raised her head to look at Lin Nianyin, then turned to look at Wei Mingchuan, her brows furrowed again.
Wei Mingchuan said deliberately from the side: "Xiaoxiao, dad works outside to make money to support the family. A lot of what you eat, wear and use was bought by dad with money. Don't you love dad?"
The little girl pursed her lips and let out a long sigh.
Dad will make money, and mom will take care of her. It’s so hard to choose!
Principal Fang had been holding back his laughter, but now he couldn't help it anymore. He held his stomach while laughing, and nodded at Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan, saying, "You two know how to bully a child."
Cen Wangsu walked up to the crestfallen little girl, patted her on the top of her head and said, "Don't worry, sister, just say you love your father and mother the most."
The little girl immediately widened her eyes, and then said loudly to Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan: "Xiaoxiao loves her father and mother the most!"
Lin Nianyin suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter and squatted down to rub the little girl's forehead.
Then he nodded on Cen Wangsu's little head and said, "You are the only one who is smart."
Cen Wangsu tilted his head and smiled at Lin Nianyin.
Lin Nianyin rubbed Cen Wangsu's head and said, "Auntie, let me ask you, which one of us is your favorite?"
Before Cen Wangsu could speak, Lin Nianyin added, "I don't have to say that I like it."
Cen Wangsu sighed, "Auntie, aren't you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"
Lin Nianyin laughed so hard that she pinched Cen Wangsu's cheek and said, "Okay, aunt won't embarrass you anymore. Let's go out and play with your uncle and sister."
Cen Wangsu then nodded with a smile.
Wei Mingchuan coaxed the little girl for a while before getting her to agree to take off her new clothes and wear them again when she comes back to celebrate the New Year.
In the afternoon, Lin Nianyin helped Principal Fang sew Political Commissar Yang's clothes. Then the two measured each other's sizes and each cut their own new clothes.
When she got home in the evening, Lin Nianyin helped Wei Mingchuan measure the size and cut out his as well.
The next day, Lin Nianyin went to Principal Fang's house again, hurriedly and slowly, and with Principal Fang's help, she finished all the clothes.
The new year is here in a blink of an eye.
Political Commissar Yang was not at home, so Lin Nianyin called Principal Fang and Cen Wangsu to come with them to celebrate the New Year.
On the 24th, it was house cleaning day again.
Almost every household in the family area is busy cleaning.
The little girl is now at an active age. When she sees her parents being busy, she follows behind them and says she wants to help.
In fact, it is a disservice.
They were sweeping the floor, and the girl also took a feather duster and danced around, pretending to be helping her parents sweep the floor, but in the end, there was dust everywhere, and the things they had just picked up were also messed up.
Lin Nianyin had no choice but to let the little girl go out and play by herself.
The little girl was still unwilling, and finally Lin Nianyin had no choice but to take her out to Principal Fang's house, and handed her over to Cen Wangsu, who asked Cen Wangsu to play with her.
When Lin Nianyin came back, Wei Mingchuan was moving tables, chairs and benches to the pond behind to wash them.
Not only Wei Mingchuan, but also the two families next door are doing the same.
It's not surprising that Su Yingxiu was able to restrain Yang Duozhi. What was strange was that when Lin Nianyin first came back, she heard Tian Guihua quarreling with Meng Chengyi.
At that time, the two people had probably reached the end of their quarrel. Lin Nianyin heard Meng Chengyi yell at Tian Guihua: "I am a grown man, and you want me to do those women's things?"
Tian Guihua said: "Then...the captain of the guard and Yang...staff officer Yang can do it, you...why can't you do it!"
Meng Chengyi said: "I found out that I haven't seen you in this new year. You have a good temper!"
Tian Guihua glared at him, "Why, you...you still want to hit me!"
Meng Chengyi finally looked at Tian Guihua for a while, then turned around and started moving tables, chairs and benches out, muttering in his mouth: "It's really strange. Last year, that bastard Lao Yang yelled at him every day to do such nonsense. This year, okay? It’s easy not to see him harassing me anymore. I thought it would stop this year, but you actually frightened me!”
Tian Guihua shouted at Meng Chengyi's back, "Why don't you go quickly!"
Meng Chengyi turned his head and glared at Tian Guihua, then pointed at her from the distance.
Tian Guihua also stared back.
Lin Nianyin looked at this scene, feeling surprised and amused.
Tian Guihua did make some progress this year, but she didn't expect Tian Guihua to be able to do this now.
Lin Nianyin didn't deliberately look for presence, silently entered the room and began to pack other items
By the time Wei Mingchuan came back, Lin Nianyin had almost tidied up the house.
The weather was nice today, so she picked up the dirty clothes and sheets and quilts, planning to do a big cleaning.
Wei Mingchuan took over the job smoothly and said, "Have you provided ideological education to Xiao Tian next door this year?"
"Not really." Lin Nianyin shook her head, smiled and said, "You want to talk about Meng Chengyi just washing tables, chairs and benches, right?"
Wei Mingchuan nodded and said: "Did you see it? After Meng Chengyi passed by, he muttered that Tian Guihua had become more capable this year and dared to yell at him. Yang Duozhi said on the spot, 'Maybe she is with you and the next door Su Yingxiu so she learned it from them."
Lin Nianyin snorted, "Su Yingxiu and I really didn't guide her very much this year. Su Yingxiu's temper is a bit explosive. I can't stand Tian Guihua's usual timid appearance. She can start a fight with just a few words. It's impossible to do this kind of thing, and I don't have that much free time. I have to go to class every day and take care of my children after class, so I don't have the mood to care about what she is doing."
After a pause, Lin Nianyin thought about Tian Guihua's several changes this year, and then said: "I guess she may have been in contact with Aunt Song for a long time this year, and then Aunt Song thought about it, maybe she might as well get some inspiration from it.”
Lin Nianyin found a new sheet and handed it to Wei Mingchuan. She stretched the other end and the two of them worked together to spread the clean sheet.
Wei Mingchuan said: "In this way, she made progress on her own."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Probably. Besides, she also has a job now. Although the brown sugar factory is a little exhausting, she makes a lot of money and can get a lot of things. With money in one's hands, naturally You will gradually feel more confident. As for Meng Chengyi..."
Lin Nianyin clicked her tongue, "It's just that he hasn't met a powerful woman. If it had been someone else, they would have dealt with him long ago."
Wei Mingchuan said: "Meng Chengyi is just a talker. As long as Xiaotian says it, he still does it."
Lin Nianyin smiled and said, "Let's stop talking about them. Last time I went to take pictures, the master of the photo studio asked us to find time before the year to take the pictures. Don't delay it too late. This year is the 29th day of the New Year. Today is the day 24th, when can we go there again?”
Wei Mingchuan thought for a while and said, "Go on the 27th or 28th. Now that you go, you may not be able to get out."
Lin Nianyin frowned and said, "I'm just worried that the sky will not rise well then. I still remember the past, when the Chinese New Year came here, it would either rain or snow."
Wei Mingchuan said: "If the weather is bad, then I will go by myself and you stay at home."
Lin Nianyin: "Let's watch it for now."
The morning passed quietly.
In the afternoon, Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan washed and dried all the things they had bought in the morning.
Sure enough, as Lin Nianyin said, the closer we get to the New Year, the weather is getting worse day by day.
On the twenty-seventh day, it rained.
The winter rain is wet and cold, and when it falls on people, it's like being hit by ice.
After getting up in the morning, Wei Mingchuan said: "I don't think the weather will be good in the next few days. I will go to the camp to borrow a car and then go to the city to get the photos back. You and Xiaoxiao stay at home and don't go out." ”
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Then be careful when you walk. You still need to be careful when driving in the rain. After all, the road conditions are not good now."
Wei Mingchuan said "Yeah", "I know."
After breakfast, Wei Mingchuan put on his raincoat and went to Principal Fang's house, took the note from her house, and then took a ride from someone else to the camp.
He borrowed a car at the camp and started heading into the city again.
The road was slippery and difficult to drive on rainy days, so Wei Mingchuan did not dare to drive too fast.
This rain came and went, and by the time Wei Mingchuan got home, the whole morning had passed.
Lin Nianyin gave him a basin of hot water and said, "Wash yourself first, haven't you eaten yet?"
Wei Mingchuan nodded, "No."
Lin Nianyin said: "Then you wash up first, then go and warm yourself up by the kang table, and I'll cook you something to eat."
When Lin Nianyin came out with noodles, Wei Mingchuan was holding the little girl and looking at the photos together.
Lin Nianyin put it down and said, "Did you get the photo back?"
Wei Mingchuan nodded, patted the place beside him and said, "Come over and let's look together."
Lin Nianyin went over and looked down, then took out the photo from Wei Mingchuan's hand, pushed him up and said, "I won't look at it with you. You'd better eat first."
Wei Mingchuan smiled, and with the strength of Lin Nianyin's hand, he sat down at the table and began to fill in the temple of his five internal organs.
When the little girl looked at the photo, it was in Lin Nianyin's hand, and she started to pull Lin Nianyin to look at the photo together.
While watching it, she said happily: "It looks good, I look really good."
Lin Nianyin simply couldn't laugh or cry in front of a little girl who loves beauty.
Except for those of the adults, most of these photos are of the two children.
There are group photos and individual photos.
The little girl had enough of admiring her own "beauty" and started to look at Cen Wangsu's. While looking at it, she said, "My brother is also good-looking, but I am the prettiest."
After seeing enough, the little girl turned her head and asked: "Mom, where is my brother? I want to find him."
Lin Nianyin pointed to the heavy rain outside and said, "It's raining outside, and my brother is at grandma's house."
The little girl ran to the door and looked for a while, then came back with a frown and said, "It's really raining, and my brother is not here."
As she said that, she sighed sincerely, "Hey!"
Lin Nianyin found it funny and said, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow or the weather gets better, we will go find your brother."
The little girl nodded reluctantly, "Okay."
As a result, on the 28th, it was still raining.
But in the afternoon, it turned into sleet, and when it was getting dark, it turned into snowflakes, falling one by one on the ground.
This is the first snow this year.
The little girl is young and didn't understand anything when it snowed last year. This was barely the first snow she saw.
When she saw it, the little girl blinked and shouted to Lin Nianyin: "Mom, flour is falling from the sky!"
As she said that, she ran out stupidly. He raised his head, opened his mouth wide and began to eat the "flour".
Before Lin Nianyin could speak, Yaya from next door saw it and immediately came over to pull the little girl and said, "Xiaoxiao, that's not flour, that's snow."
The little girl blinked, "What is snow? Why is this snow?"
Yaya's claws suddenly became numb.
Yes, what is snow?
Goudan jumped out from under the corridor eaves with a wooden sword, "You idiot Yaya, you don't even know what snow is, isn't this just snow!"
After saying that, Goudan held his sword and made a sword flower.
Yaya rolled her eyes at Goudan, "Of course I know this is snow, but why is this snow?"
Goudan: "..."
When Yaya saw this, she snorted and said, "I think you are the stupid. You don't even know it. You still call me stupid, but you are the stupidest one. A little bit..."
Goudan scratched his hair and said, "I am stupid, but you girls are also same. You always think about some weird questions. Snow is snow. Why do you think so much? I don't understand."
Yaya: "..."
"I don't want to talk to you." Yaya glared at Goudan, took the little girl's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go, we won't talk to Goudan anymore."
The little girl blinked, "Why don't you talk to Brother Goudan?"
Yaya said: "I hates it."
The little girl suddenly sighed, "But I want to find my brother."
Yaya immediately said: "Is it Brother Susu? I haven't seen him for several days. My mother said it's raining outside and won't let me go out casually."
The little girl nodded, "Look for brother."
Goudan stopped playing with his sword and jumped up and said, "I want to go find Brother Susu too!"
Yaya rolled her eyes at Goudan.
Then she glanced inside the room and saw several adults looking at them at the door. After thinking about it, she led the little girl to the adults and said, "Mom, Aunt, can we go find brother Su Su?"
Su Yingxiu leaned against the door frame and glanced at the snow outside. She spread her hands and said, "Snow is different from rain anyway. I have no objection. I listen to your Aunt Lin."
Yaya looked at Lin Nianyin and asked again, "Aunt, we want to go find Brother Susu, is that okay?"
Lin Nianyin took a look at the dark sky and scattered snowflakes outside, shook her head and said, "No, it's dark now and it's snowing again. You can't go."
"But...but sister Xiaoxiao and I both miss brother Susu." Yaya defended a little.
Lin Nianyin said: "Then let's wait until tomorrow. During the Chinese New Year tomorrow, Political Commissar Yang will definitely go down to the company to express condolences. Then I will invite Principal Fang and your brother Su Su to come to celebrate the New Year, and you can play with him."
Yaya pursed her lips and said reluctantly: "Okay then."
She tilted her head and said to the little girl: "Xiaoxiao, let's not go looking for Brother Susu today. Brother Susu will be here tomorrow."
The little girl looked at Yaya, then looked at Lin Nianyin coquettishly, "Mom..."
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "No."
The little girl pouted at Lin Nianyin and began to hug her thigh.
Goudan next to me immediately said: "You girls are troublesome. If you don't go, I will go by myself!"
With that said, he rushed down.
When Meng Chengyi next door saw this, he rushed down in two or three steps and directly lifted him up.
Then, he slapped Goudan on the butt.
"It's snowing so much, where do you want to go?"
Goudan: "..."
Yaya and the little girl's eyes widened immediately, and they both covered their butts.
Fortunately they didn't make a fuss, otherwise they would have been beaten.
The adults let the three children play at the door for a while. When they were done, they told them to go home and take a bath and sleep.
The next day is Chinese New Year.
Early in the morning, the sky was still dark, and the sound of firecrackers was already going on outside.
The little girl groaned for a while after being woken up, but when she heard Lin Nianyin say that today was the Chinese New Year, she immediately became energetic again.
"Brother!" she shouted.
Lin Nianyin said helplessly: "Yes, I'm going to find your brother today, but you have to get up first."
The little girl immediately got out of the quilt happily, stretched out her hand towards Lin Nianyin and said, "Mom, help me get dressed."
Lin Nianyin began to serve the little girl.
As a result, when Lin Nianyin brought yesterday's clothes to the little girl, the little girl immediately became unhappy and waved her hands and said, "No, no, no..."
Lin Nianyin raised her eyebrows, "What, you don't want to wear this coat or are you unwilling to wear it?"
The little girl immediately said: "New clothes, new clothes for the New Year!"
Lin Nianyin laughed immediately, "You little girl, you remember this matter clearly."
The little girl nodded and said seriously: "I have a good memory!"
Lin Nianyin tapped the little girl's forehead and said, "There's nothing I can do about it because I have a bad memory. I can't wear new clothes until tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year. I can't wear them today."
The little girl immediately shouted: "Mom is lying! Today is the New Year, wear new clothes!"
Lin Nianyin looked over and said, "Who said I lied? If you don't believe me, you can ask sister Yaya and brother Goudan next door if they are like this later. You can also ask your brother Susu."
The little girl blinked her eyes and said after a while: "Really?"
Lin Nianyin nodded, pulled on her clothes and said, "Look, I'm not wearing any new clothes today."
The little girl pouted, and after a while she hummed and said, "Okay then."
After "serving" the little ancestor and eating again, Lin Nianyin took her to find Cen Wangsu.
It snowed all night yesterday, and it still snowed this morning, but it was not as heavy as yesterday.
The snow was a bit thick and the little girl couldn't walk very smoothly, so Lin Nianyin simply hugged her.
Principal Fang was packing his things. When he saw Lin Nianyin, he said, "Here you go, sit down wherever you want. I just said that I would take Su Su over after packing."
Lin Nianyin put the little girl down and saw her happily going to find Cen Wangsu. She shook her head and said, "It's not like this girl. She has been talking about looking for her brother for the past two days. It snowed so heavily yesterday and she even made trouble with me. "
Lin Nianyin briefly talked about what happened in the past two days, and Principal Fang smiled and said, "Don't mention it yet. Su Su also said that she wanted to find you, but I stopped her."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "The weather is cold, so it's for their own good not to let them out."
After Principal Fang packed up, she went to Lin Nianyin's house.
As soon as the children met, they immediately gathered around chattering.
The adults in each family are busy with their own affairs.
It wasn't until lunch was ready that the children went back to their homes.
In the afternoon, several children continued to play with other children, and Lin Nianyin and Principal Fang started making dumplings together.
There was mutton this year, so Lin Nianyin made mutton dumplings, fish dumplings, pork fillings, shrimp dumplings, chives and eggs, and vegetarian dumplings.
Got a smooth score of sixty-six.
Lin Nianyin kept half of the wrapped dumplings and asked Principal Fang to take the other half home after dinner for tomorrow and the next few days.
After dinner, Lin Nianyin gave the little girl and Cen Wangsu a red envelope each, and then gave the other a piggy bank.
Lin Nianyin asked Li Xiangqian to help customize the piggy bank when she went out after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
Li Xiangqian had a relative in his family who worked in a ceramics factory. They usually didn't burn these things, but they later found a way to find an opportunity to burn them.
Lin Nianyin only got it when she went out not long ago.
Lin Nianyin said: "Each of you has a piggy bank. From now on, you can put your own money in your own piggy bank."
The little girl didn't understand anything yet, so Lin Nianyin gave it to her, so she hugged it and kept rocking it back and forth.
Cen Wangsu shook his little head and thought for a while and said: "But, doesn't our money have to be given to adults?"
Lin Nianyin said: "Give it to the adults. That's because we parents are worried that you will accidentally lose the money. Now I will give you a piggy bank. After you put the money in, unless you smash the jar, the money will not be lost." It can’t be taken out, so there’s no need to worry.”
Cen Wangsu thought for a while, then looked back at Principal Fang, "Grandma?"
Principal Fang naturally knew that Lin Nianyin and Li Xiangqian had arranged the jar, so he nodded and said, "Your aunt is right. When we get back, I will give you all your money from last year, and you can put it away properly."
Cen Wangsu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "I will put it away properly!"
Then, he studied the piggy bank for a while, then pointed to the opening on it and said, "Auntie, do you want to put the money in here?"
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Yes."
Cen Wangsu hurriedly put in his lucky money.
Wei Mingchuan was the closest to him, so he stopped him and said, "Don't put this year's New Year's money in yet. Put it under your pillow for a few days. After the Lantern Festival, you can put it in again."
Cen Wangsu thought for a while and asked curiously: "Why?"
Wei Mingchuan couldn't talk to Cen Wangsu about exorcising evil spirits, otherwise someone would hear him and probably report him to them for a feudal superstition.
Wei Mingchuan said: "You don't have to worry about it, just obey and do as I'm told."
Cen Wangsu pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay."
it's dark.
Principal Fang and Cen Wangsu didn't stay too long before they went back.
After arriving home, Principal Fang gave him the money he had collected for Cen Wangsu.
Cen Wangsu flipped through it and then said, "Grandma, I want a red paper to give my sister a red envelope."
Principal Fang handed one to him and said, "It has been prepared for you a long time ago. Just take this and give it to your sister."
Cen Wangsu waved his hand and said, "I have money myself, so I can give it to my sister instead of grandma."
Then he took two more pieces from his previous money, handed it to Principal Fang, and said, "Grandma, this is the money I gave you back, the one I gave to my sister in the red envelope last year."
Principal Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you remember it so clearly?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "Yes, I remember it clearly."
Principal Fang thought for a moment, accepted the money, and then found another piece of red paper and handed it to Cen Wangsu, "Would you like me to teach you how to fold a red envelope?"
Cen Wangsu waved his hand, found a place to sit down and said, "No need, grandma, I can do it myself."
After folding the red envelope, Cen Wangsu carefully put it away.
After thinking about it, he ran up to Principal Fang and said, "Grandma, why do adults give gifts and red envelopes to children during the Chinese New Year? Can children give gifts and red envelopes to adults?"
Principal Fang looked at Cen Wangsu and understood what he meant at a glance, "Do you want to prepare gifts and red envelopes for us adults?"
Cen Wangsu smiled sheepishly, "I think I should also give you gifts and red envelopes."
Principal Fang rubbed Cen Wangsu's head and said, "Silly boy, you are still young and all your money comes from adults. It doesn't make sense whether you buy us gifts or send red envelopes."
Cen Wangsu said "Ah", then scratched the back of his head and said, "It seems like this."
Principal Fang smiled and said, "When you grow up and make money on your own, then you will be an adult and you can give us gifts and red envelopes."
Cen Wangsu calculated it and said, "I'm only six years old, so it will take many years!"
Principal Fang shook his head, "It looks far away, but in fact, life goes by so fast!"
Cen Wangsu didn't understand why, and Principal Fang didn't want to say this to a child, so he added: "Since you really want to give gifts to adults like us, I will teach you a way."
Cen Wangsu immediately blinked and looked over, "What is the solution?"
Principal Fang said: "Have you not started reading now? You can also write. I have taught you how to draw. Why don't you give each of us adults a New Year's card of your own? You can write and also write." You can draw, you can do whatever you want."
Cen Wangsu thought for a while, "Greeting card? Isn't it a bit bad?"
Principal Fang said: "Child, you have to know that there is a saying in this world called 'courtesy is light but affection is heavy'. Sometimes money is omnipotent, but sometimes it can't buy anything."
Cen Wangsu seemed to understand.
Principal Fang said, "If you want to do it, I'll get you paper and pen later."
