Chapter 361 Chinese New Year(1/2)

During the Chinese New Year, there will never be a shortage of snacks at home.

Jiang Qi's aunt has taught Jiang Wanwan for many years that the policy is to be strict in normal times, but during the Chinese New Year, she can play as she pleases and eat as she wants. Although Jiang Wanwan is usually strictly controlled by her aunt, she has to eat snacks and drinks.

Control, causing Jiang Wanwan to sneak into Jiang Bing's shop for a drink in revenge.

During the Chinese New Year, her eldest aunt asked her to drink and eat freely, but Jiang Wanwan didn't take any snacks or drinks and kept eating fruits.

"You really weigh 100 pounds and have 99 pounds of bone." Jiang Pei looked at Jiang Wanwan who had already eaten half a box of sugar oranges and sighed, "Don't you usually complain in the small group that your mother doesn't let you eat snacks?

The slices are just on the table, why didn’t I see you take a bite?”

Jiang Wanwan chuckled: "I don't know why, this kind of food only tastes good when others don't let you eat it."

"By the way, Brother Jiang Qi, when we were on vacation that day, didn't Teacher John say that people who can't go home can go to the amusement park for New Year's Eve dinner tonight? Is it true?" Jiang Wanwan asked curiously.

Jiang Qi nodded slightly, thinking that this could be false.

"certainly."

“Teacher John is so kind!”

"Spring silkworms die only when their threads are gone, and wax torches turn to ashes before their tears dry up. This poem was written specifically for Teacher John!" Jiang Wanwan looked touched, as if she was Old John's number one fan.

Jiang Qi:……

You don’t have to be so moved. The New Year’s Eve dinner was not made by Old John. With Old John’s cooking skills, he buttered the slices of bread and put them in the bread machine for secondary processing. He heated up the leftovers and used the microwave to turn the microwaved food.

It's the limit. It's really too difficult for him to cook New Year's Eve dinner.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner in the amusement park is mainly cooked by Huang Fugui and Feng Ling. Feng Ling is very confident about this New Year's Eve dinner.

Although she has become a human, Feng Ling feels that her 18-year-old self is definitely different from her 81-year-old self in the card character state. The 18-year-old self will definitely be more dexterous and energetic, and the meals he makes will be more delicious.

She will definitely defeat Huang Fugui at this year's New Year's Eve dinner and become the most loved New Year's Eve chef!

At first, everyone wanted to invite Old John’s students to the amusement park for the New Year’s Eve dinner, mainly for the fun of it. This idea was proposed by Huang Fugui. The card characters all celebrated the New Year in the amusement park, and the three dogs were brought back by their chief breeder Wang Haifu.

We celebrated the New Year together at home.

Wang Haifu's family is in a town next to the amusement park. His situation is relatively complicated. Jiang Qi only found out about it by overhearing what Sister Liu and the others said.

The reason why Wang Haifu lives in the amusement park all day long even though he lives nearby is because there is no one at home. His parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating a lot of food. He got married and later divorced.

The two children were awarded to his ex-wife, who was not in the local area. During the winter and summer vacations, the ex-wife would occasionally send the two children back to spend time with him.

The Chinese New Year means reunion for most people, but for Wang Haifu, it means loneliness. Considering Wang Haifu's situation and the fact that he usually takes care of the three dogs in the amusement park, Jiang Qi thought it was inconvenient to take the three dogs back during the New Year.

Because I heard that Wang Haifu lived nearby and it was very convenient to bring dogs back, so I asked him if he would be willing to temporarily take care of the three dogs during the Chinese New Year holiday.

Wang Haifu was naturally very happy.

Jiang Qi believes that with the level of noisiness of the three dogs, Wang Haifu's annual meeting will be very lively this year.

He has already told Sangou that as long as the house is not broken up, no matter how much trouble there is, there will be no trouble.

Just when Jiang Qi began to fantasize about whether the three dogs going to Wang Haifu's house to celebrate the New Year would be like wild dogs that ran away and rolled in the water-soaked mud pit, Qiao Huifang discovered that the gold cake she bought was not brought over, and ordered Jiang Qi

Go back and get it.

Jiang Qi obediently put on his coat and went back to get the gold cake.

After Jiang Qi left, Jiang Wanwan asked: "Sister Bingbing, is Brother Jiang Qi particularly short of money during this time?"

"Why do you think so?" Jiang Bing was confused.

If Jiang Qi is short of money, then there is no one in his family who is not short of money. What gave Jiang Wanwan such an illusion?

"That's why I noticed that he seems to have only worn this coat this winter." Jiang Wanwan said, "From New Year's Day to now, it's been so cold recently. The wind blows hard as if it's free. I have to fight even if I go out wearing a down jacket.

Shivering."

"Brother Jiang Qi only wears this thin coat and doesn't change into new clothes during the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Wanwan felt something was wrong, something was really wrong.

Jiang Wanwan felt something was wrong, but Jiang Bing thought there was nothing wrong with it and said nonchalantly: "Jiang Qi is just like that. He doesn't like buying clothes. He still has a shirt he bought in high school in his wardrobe. He wears it in the summer."

"And there are many boys who are not afraid of the cold. I remember when I was in high school, there were boys in our class who came to school wearing shirts in winter, and Jiang Qi competed with them."

"Is that so?" Jiang Wanwan was hesitant, and the topic just passed.

By the time Jiang Qi brought the gold cake from home, the topic of conversation between Jiang Bing and the others had turned to visiting the countryside to visit graves on the first day of the new year.

Returning to his hometown to visit the graves of Jiang Qi’s late grandparents is a regular Spring Festival activity of the Jiang family.

The time for sweeping the tomb is usually not fixed, and everyone can go back whenever they are free. Jiang Qi’s grandfather was an only son and had no brothers or sisters, which resulted in the Jiang family having few collateral relatives. In addition, Jiang Qi’s great-grandfather was

People who fled from other places didn’t know who their ancestors were, so the steps for sweeping the tomb were very simple.

I don’t have much contact with relatives during the Chinese New Year.

"You guys think our great-grandfather is literate or uneducated? If he's not literate, he wouldn't be able to name him, but if he's literate, he shouldn't be named this way."

As soon as Jiang Qi entered the door, he heard the reserved chat item for the New Year's Eve - whether Grandpa is educated or not.

This issue is picked up and discussed again every Chinese New Year. It has been discussed for almost ten years and I am not tired of it at all. Whenever everyone is waiting for dinner and watching TV on New Year’s Eve and they don’t know what to talk about, this issue is the right one to talk about.

That's right.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why did it start again?" Jiang Qi sent the golden cake into the kitchen, moved a small bench to join the topic, looked around and found that Wen Luo was not there, "Wen Luo

Woolen cloth?"

"I went to his grandparents' house with my sister-in-law and uncle to celebrate the New Year. This year he went there to celebrate the New Year," Jiang Bing said.

Jiang Wanwan brought the topic back and boldly made an unworthy remark: "Who called grandpa by such a strange name?"

"Jiang Bingsui, you say you are uneducated, these two words are very difficult to write."

"You call it cultured. The name means grasping wheat ears. It's quite simple."

"Maybe our great-grandfather is as wise as he is foolish." Jiang Bing said, "Anyway, I think my grandfather's name is more literate than ours."

Jiang Wanwan & Jiang Pei & Jiang Qi:......

Jiang Xiaokang passed by and found that the juniors had already started talking about their biological father's name. He knew that the recent TV series and variety shows must be boring. Everyone had nothing to watch and nothing to talk about, so they started talking about this again.

So Jiang Xiaokang thoughtfully joined the topic and told everyone the story of the past that everyone knew.

That is the history of the Jiang family’s hard work.

The curiosity of the younger generations of the Jiang family about their grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather and great-grandmother they have never met originated from grave sweeping.

Because these elders have been dead for many years, Jiang Xiaokang, Jiang Xiaoliang and others rarely mentioned it to their children. For a long time, Jiang Qi not only felt that his parents were divorced, but also that his eldest aunt was called aunt, grandpa.

He is called grandpa, grandma is called grandma, and uncle is called uncle.

Not only Jiang Qi felt this way, but Jiang Bing also felt this way, and even Jiang Wanwan felt this way when she was a child.

So how do you know the names of the elders in your family?

Seen on tombstones.

After learning how to read and write in school, the younger generations of the Jiang family finally understood the words engraved on the tombstone and learned that their grandfather was called Jiang Bingsui when they were not called grandfather, and Jiang Weize was called Jiang Weize when their great-grandfather was not called their great-grandfather.

Then everyone started a protracted discussion about whether great-grandfather Jiang Weize was literate and why he gave his grandfather the strange name Jiang Bingsui.

Jiang Xiaokang and others are actually not sure about whether Grandpa Tai is literate or not.

Jiang Weize has been gone as long as Jiang Xiaokang can remember. According to Jiang Bingsui, Jiang Weize and his wife Dong Shurong fled from other places. Dong Shurong died of dysentery when Jiang Bingsui was 11 years old. Since then, Jiang Weize has raised the child alone.

According to Jiang Bingsui, Jiang Weize has good cooking skills. The same wild vegetable soup he made tastes better than other people's. However, this good cooking skill was of little use in the famine era, and everyone just had nothing to eat.

When it comes to your next meal, you only want to be full and not eat well.

Jiang Weize was lame when he was fleeing, and he couldn't work hard enough. As a result, the family never had much food. Jiang Bingsui spent his childhood and youth in hunger.

Because of poverty, Jiang Weize died of illness before he was forty.

"It is said that I was not born yet, and your grandma was about to give birth when she was pregnant with me. Your great-grandfather's biggest wish before he died was to see his grandchildren born. It was only three days away. If you close your eyes for three days, you can

You saw me! That’s why your grandfather named me Xiaokang, not because he wanted to be well-off, but because he wanted me to live a healthy and safe life for a long time.” At this point, Jiang Xiaokang’s eyes became moist again.

"Your grandpa has had a hard life!" Jiang Xiaokang blew his nose, "Your grandma was injured when she gave birth to Xiaohong and died within two years. Your grandpa worked day and night to feed us.

I work, farm during the busy season, help others build houses during the off-season, do odd jobs, and even sign up to build dams and dig canals."

"As a result, I never had a good day, and I left as early as your great-grandfather."

"Tomorrow I will go to the countryside to sweep the graves and burn some more paper money for your grandparents and great-grandparents. I didn't enjoy the blessings when I was alive, so I can't lose when I die. Who knows whether there will be inflation in the ground in these years."

"The printing of Ming coins is real now. Why are they printing such big numbers? One piece is worth hundreds of millions or billions. Will the money be worth it if it is burned?"

The aunt came out of the kitchen and wanted to drink some water:...

"What are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? No matter what the value of the ghost coin is, you will be reincarnated when you go underground. How many years do you want to live down there? I want you to be so leisurely, elegant and caring.

Will there be inflation down there? Why not tidy up the things in the room, sweep the floor more often, do some charity and charity when you have time, and save some merit for your parents underground."

"I really don't understand what you are thinking about all day long." The eldest aunt shook her head and left as if her husband was hopeless.

Jiang Xiaokang silently left the room and went to his room to tidy up his things.

"Wow, my mother is indeed a master at practicing feudal superstition. I actually think what she just said makes sense." Jiang Wanwan looked like I didn't understand, but I was greatly shocked.
