Chapter 80 You are still a child
On the morning of the first day of junior high school, she should get up early, but Liu Wen is now used to sleeping until she wakes up naturally.
Getting up early or not was not part of her plan. She didn't need to go out to pay New Year greetings anyway, and she had no plans to receive guests.
That's right, when she sent spring rolls and other fried things to Liu Shuhui and the others yesterday, she had already paid her New Year's greetings and told the two brothers Jianjian that if they wanted to come to pay their New Year's greetings, it would be after ten o'clock.
In addition, everyone's life is getting better now, no matter what their family conditions are, they will set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, that's all.
Even if Liu Wen got into bed early last night, she couldn't resist the crowd of people setting off firecrackers.
Midnight can be said to be the peak time for setting off firecrackers, and then it gradually became quiet. However, not long after she fell asleep, the lively sound of firecrackers sounded again, causing her to wake up.
Fortunately, as the sun rose, everyone knew that setting off firecrackers in broad daylight might not be noticeable, so they stopped working and finally got some sleep.
Liu Wen really misses the days when there was no ban on setting off firecrackers. Some people may think that not setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival would be a bustling event.
Liu Wen just felt that at least she could have a peaceful sleep without someone setting off firecrackers as soon as she fell asleep.
No matter how much I want to sleep, I have no choice but to get up, otherwise I don’t know how the people walking around to pay New Year’s greetings will point their fingers.
Liu Wen, who endured her sleepiness and took pictures, went downstairs after washing up and found that Gong Li was already busy in the kitchen.
"Auntie, let me do it." Liu Wen did not expect that Gong Li would get up so early.
"It's okay. Although your aunt and I can't compare with your cooking skills, I'm still pretty good at this meal on New Year's Day morning."
Although she has been away from Sioux City for a long time, every morning on the first day of the new year, Gong Li will cook the first meal of the New Year according to the rules of her hometown.
For Gong Li, it is a reminder of the longing for hometown for a wanderer far away from home.
"Okay." Liu Wen remembered that this was the ritual that Gong Li valued most, so she did not argue with her, but stood quietly watching Gong Li make breakfast.
Although it is only cooked once a year, it seems that Gong Li, who is not good at cooking, is unable to cook a delicious first meal of the year.
In fact, this is also her specialty. At first, she coaxed Tao Zeming into thinking that she was a good cook. However, after marrying into the family, he discovered that Gong Li's cooking skills were not ordinary, but she could cook the ingredients.
If it's just cooked and delicious, don't think about it.
Liu Wen thought of Tao Zeming, a grown man who would cook at home as long as he was not on missions. She felt envious when she thought about it.
Such a man is hard to come by at any time. Perhaps it was knowing that he was such a person that Gong Li gave up various opportunities for further study.
For the sake of the family, they don't sacrifice anyone, but they all sacrifice.
Gong Li estimated that breakfast would be almost ready, "Xiaowen, go call Tuanzi and the others, it's time to have breakfast."
"By the way, will anyone come to pay New Year's greetings today?" Although she hasn't been back for a long time, Gong Li is not sure if anyone will come to pay New Year's greetings.
When the old lady was here, the family was lively, her apprentices, leaders and so on. Since the old lady passed away, the grand occasion has disappeared. Even though Gong Jing's embroidery level is not bad, there is still a little gap compared to the old lady.
"I don't know." Has anyone come to visit to pay New Year's greetings? Due to the long time lapse, Liu Wen has also forgotten about it. It feels like no one except Liu Shuhui's family will come to visit to pay New Year's greetings.
Don’t know? Have you forgotten? It’s probably not because she forgot, but because no one came to visit her to pay her New Year greetings. Liu Wen said this in order not to make her sad.
"It doesn't matter if no one comes to visit us to pay New Year greetings. We can be quiet." Gong Li prefers not to have all kinds of people coming and going during the New Year. She feels that even a big house in Nuo can't accommodate so many people.
When some people hear Gong Li say this, they may think that she is being sarcastic. After all, the more people who send New Year greetings to your family, the better the popularity, but Liu Wen does not think so.
After marrying Gong Jun, there was a lot of excitement at home during the New Year and festivals. For the Gong family, this meant that their family was prosperous and popular.
But for Liu Wen, she really doesn't like days like this, because she is not generally busy, and she is basically busy alone.
Liu Wen really admired her, how could she sustain it? If it were now, she would definitely give up her burden and accept the guests. If she didn't want to accept them, she would just go to the restaurant to eat.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, my life is so smooth now, why do I have to think about it so much?
When Liu Wen went upstairs, she found that the two children had finished washing. Knowing that they were not very tall, Liu Wen specially placed two stools on the balcony with two washbasins, one for brushing the brothers' teeth and one for washing.
They wash their faces.
Seeing that they had all finished washing, I was just about to let them go downstairs to have breakfast.
Tuanzi pulled the meat bun and stood firm in front of Liu Wen, "Aunt Liu, happy new year. I wish Aunt Liu good health in the new year."
"Be healthy." Roubao shouted.
"Extra cash."
"Wealth is rolling in." Roubao continued to shout. Although Tuanzi pulled Roubao yesterday and asked him to write it down in advance, it turned out that this naughty kid didn't remember it. Tuanzi had no choice but to use this method.
"Same joy, same joy." Liu Wen was thinking just now. She always felt that she had missed something, but she didn't think of anything. Now that her two children were paying her New Year greetings, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something.
Alas, I am really old, and I have forgotten such an important thing. I am really old.
Liu Wen quickly packed away the two washbasins and hurried downstairs.
"Auntie, I wish you good health in the new year, your food will taste delicious, your worries will be far away from you, and happiness will surround you. You can get everything you want, and villains can't plot against you."
Since it is a blessing, of course it must be innovative, otherwise how can it highlight her difference?
It has to be said that this was the first time Gong Li heard New Year blessings from here and took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago.
"I also wish you all the best and good health in the new year. All the bad things last year will end." If possible, I hope she can find a man who loves her and marry her.
Are there any red envelopes to get? Although Liu Wen is not in need of such a small amount of money, of course she is happy in all kinds of ways when someone gives her a red envelope.
"I'm an adult now, I can't take this lucky money." It's fine if someone remembers her, but if she takes it, forget it.
"Here, you don't know that your brother and sister never delay."
"I won't give you new year's money until you get married and have children, otherwise you will be just a child in my eyes."
"Okay, it's the New Year's money given to you by your elders. Take it, otherwise I will be angry." Gong Li said forcefully that the red envelopes have been given out, so there is no reason to take them back.
Liu Wen had no choice but to accept the red envelope, hoping that she might get a good-looking embroidery work for Gong Li in the future.
