Chapter 97: New Year greetings and kowtows(1/2)

After the dumplings are made, the water in the two pots has been boiled.

"Go and put up the firecrackers!"

Seeing the dumplings being cooked, Song Laifu directly directed his sons to hang up firecrackers.

Usually when the New Year dumplings are cooked, one firecracker is enough.

But Song Laifu asked Song Weiguo and the others to set off five firecrackers.

"Let's eat dumplings together, and have one firecracker for each family."

"okay!"

Following the instructions of their biological father, the four brothers went to the room to get firecrackers and carried them with sticks outside the door.

"I'll have some, I'll have some!"

When the five firecrackers were in place, Song Juan jumped out.

"Don't cause trouble!"

"You pick it up, I'll light the fire!"

Song Laifu directly stopped Song Juan and asked her to pick up the firecrackers that Song Laifu was originally holding.

"Auntie, let me choose!"

Seeing Song Juan reluctantly taking the firecracker stick, Song Mingsong quickly jumped to Song Juan.

"Here you go, here you go!"

Song Juan quickly handed the stick to her nephew.

The sound of one firecracker was enough for her to bear, but now there were five firecrackers, and Song Juan could only stay away from them.

After a few minutes, the dumplings will be out of the pan.

Song Laifu held a branch that was still burning and lit the fuse of the firecracker.

As the firecrackers exploded, Lao Song's New Year's Eve dumplings were also cooked.

The two hundred firecrackers soon fell silent.

Dumplings were served, bowl after bowl, filling the table.

"Eat it!"

There were no words of blessing, just a simple "eat".

Everyone starts.

The dumplings made for six people each have their own unique shapes.

However, whether it is a standard Yuanbao dumpling or a tong-like dumpling, they are all complete. As long as the skin of the dumpling is not broken, the taste will be perfect.

However, there are always a few dumplings in a pot with broken skins, which is man-made.

This is called earning!

It means a new year, lots of money to be made!

Of course, I'm just looking for a good start.

After eating the dumplings, the monkeys rushed out of the house, holding flashlights and looking for intact firecrackers among the firecracker confetti, which were their toys for the first day of the new year.

Although there were firecrackers left for them at home, the firecrackers they picked up by themselves seemed to give them a greater sense of accomplishment.

Song Juan huddled in the room, listening to the radio with her brother and sister-in-law.

The kerosene lamp lacks brightness and is not suitable for playing cards.

At this time, Song Juan missed the days of electricity.

Unfortunately, given the situation in their village, it will take more than ten years at the earliest to get electricity.

According to the rules of the old generation, the whole family has to keep vigil on New Year's Eve.

However, in recent years, I no longer insist on it.

Song Juan had no intention of keeping vigil.

In the past, before she traveled through time, she would basically not go to bed before twelve o'clock.

But Song Juan, who has been accustomed to going to bed early since time travel, has developed a good habit of going to bed early.

Of course, the good habit of getting up early has not been developed.

After chatting with her brother and sister-in-law for half an hour, Song Juan said hello and slipped back to her room to sleep.

Although firecrackers still sounded outside from time to time, it did not affect Song Juan's sleep.

Not long after lying down, she fell asleep.

As soon as it was dawn, I was still woken up.

The little nephews went to bed late, but they woke up not late at all, and came so early to pay New Year greetings.

Well, as an elder, she has to give her lucky money.

No matter how much it is, you can still get a dime per person.

Song Juan earned this all by her own ability.

Nine nephews, each with a dime, spent less than one dollar.

Well, Song Juan herself didn’t have a few dollars.

One dollar is a big expense to her.

However, this is nothing.

After all, she also has lucky money.

My parents will give it to me, and my brothers and sisters-in-law will also give it to me.

In the past, my parents would give me one yuan each, and my brothers and sisters-in-law would sometimes get fifty cents, and sometimes they would get one yuan.

Of course, my uncle also has lucky money, which is fixed and always amounts to one yuan.

After the new year, Song Juan's income is still very good.

The little nephews have already come to pay New Year greetings, so Song Juan naturally cannot continue to sleep in.

Besides, she also had to pay New Year greetings to her brother and sister-in-law.

Get up and tidy up briefly.

"Auntie, happy New Year!"

Song Juan just opened the door and saw nine little nephews lined up in three rows, kowtowing in unison. Even the youngest Song Minggang followed suit.

"Happy New Year, happy New Year, come on, come on, get up, get your lucky money!"

Song Juan generously took out the money.

The original plan was to get 10 cents per person, but now she decided to be more generous and get 50 cents per person.

If not for anything else, just for the little nephews’ act of kowtowing to greet the New Year.

After all, when these little ones grow up, they probably won’t kowtow to her so honestly.

After giving out the New Year's money, Song Juan found that her wallet was deflated.

However, depression is only temporary.

Song Juan quickly cheered up.

To wish my parents a happy New Year, follow the example of my nephews, kneel down and kowtow.

"Dad, Mom, happy New Year, I wish you and your wife good health and all the best!"

Song Juan knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

Very sincere, nothing to be embarrassed about.

Although she came from time travel, her two elders were really kind to her.

Besides, when she comes, she is Song Juan, the biological daughter of the two elders.

It is natural for a daughter to kneel down to her parents.

"Okay, okay, happy New Year!"

Song Laifu and Li Guilan burst out laughing when they saw Song Juan's behavior.

The new year's money will be doubled directly.

Two dollars per person!

Song Juan accepted the money and was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

Then, Song Weiguo and others also came over to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders.

Of course, they have no new year's money since they are married.
