Chapter 59 New Year's Eve

Dumplings, also known as Jiaoer, meant to be a new year. People in the capital always eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Zhixia, who was also a northerner in her previous life, had to eat dumplings every New Year and Festival - even if there was a table of delicacies, she had to eat dumplings.

When eating dumplings on holidays, what you eat is not delicious food, but feelings.

Jiang Zhixia not only likes to eat dumplings, but also the dumplings made are in the shape of ingots. Especially during the Chinese New Year, it tastes like eating gold and silver ingots into her stomach.

There are few vegetables in winter, and the ones that can be stored are the ones that are 100 vegetables - that is, cabbage from the previous life. Therefore, this time, it is mainly dumplings made of meat.

Jiang Zhixia and Aunt Zhang together rolled the dough and wrapped the other.

Xiaoman watched while learning.

Uncle He found a suitable bamboo pole in the yard, hung firecrackers, and waited for the lit time to set off at midnight.

Chu Tiankuo was sitting on a stool and watching Zhixia make dumplings. One ingot after another bulging ingot was lying on the mat.

After wrapping for a while, Jiang Zhixia asked Xiaoman to wash a few red dates and wash another handful of copper coins.

Zhixia frowned as she looked at the cleaned copper coins.

Although these copper coins were specially bought and had not been used for new castings and washed with flour countless times, Zhixia still felt that there were bacteria and uncleanness in her heart.

However, since ancient times to the present, she has always had this kind of custom, and she has to do the opposite.

Some of Jiang Zhixia wrapped copper coins in the dumplings, and some wrapped red dates.

"It depends on who is lucky enough to eat dumplings wrapped in copper coins and red dates. If you eat them, I will give you an extra red envelope." Jiang Zhixia said with a smile, then turned to Chu Tiankuo and said, "You also include Brother Chu. If you eat them, I will also give you a red envelope." After that, he couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'll wait for your big red envelope." Chu Tiankuo was infected by Zhixia's smile and smiled.

It was almost four o'clock, and Aunt Zhang had already cooked the dumplings. Then, she put some dumplings in a bowl and placed them on a bench outside.

As soon as the hour arrived, Uncle He lit the firecrackers.

In the alley and outside the alley, there were firecrackers sounding one after another.

After setting off the firecrackers, Aunt Zhang picked up the dumplings onto the ground with chopsticks, while muttering, "Please eat first, please eat first, please eat first, please bless you."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang and his friends brought the plate full of dumplings to the table in the reception hall and then warmed it with a charcoal basin.

When eating dumplings, Jiang Zhixia was the first to eat copper coins.

Everyone wishes Jiang Zhixia a lot of money next year.

After hearing everyone's congratulations, Jiang Zhixia couldn't stop smiling. She needed money to make a lot of money. I hope that the jewelry she made with her drawings can sell a lot, sell well, and make a lot of money.

Later, everyone ate dumplings with copper coins or dates.

Jiang Zhixia also fulfilled her promise, and everyone sent a red envelope with various kinds of silver barley.

Chu Tiankuo's mouth twitched with the red envelope, looking amused and crying.

When Aunt Zhang was eating sweet jujube dumplings, she secretly wiped the corners of her eyes. This way, the days of not having to worry about eating, drinking, not getting cold, and not getting cold are really sweet.

After eating the dumplings from Mizushi, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the New Year is over.

Chu Tiankuo was going to live in Chu Mufeng's house next door, and Jiang Zhixia sent him to the door.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Zhixia calmly and said, "Thank you Zhixia. I have a very happy New Year's Eve this year."

After saying that, he bowed and left.

Jiang Zhixia was also extremely sleepy and called Xiaoman to accompany her back to rest.

The next day, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Zhixia got up late. When she got up, she saw that the missing moment was almost the hour.

Zhixia changed the time in her mind, it was almost nine o'clock, right?

Looking at the missing carving, Zhixia missed the clocks of her previous life extremely much.

Nowadays, it is too inconvenient to have no clocks. You can’t help but convert the time of your previous life. I wonder when I can’t invent the clock?

When Xiaoman heard something was happening in the bedroom, she hurried in to serve Zhixia.

Since Zhixia suffered a serious illness last time, Uncle He, Aunt Zhang and Xiaoman were all very worried. They always felt that it was because they did not add carbon to the smoke cage and that Zhixia caught a cold after it was extinguished.

Therefore, Xiaoman insisted on watching the night in Zhixia's house, in order to add carbon to the smoke cage in Zhixia's house at any time and keep it warm all night.

Zhixia also felt that the weather was too cold. Xiaoman usually burned a charcoal basin in her room. Moreover, the charcoal basin could not be burned all night, and the room was not warm enough, so she agreed to live in her room, but insisted on letting her sleep on the beauty couch and not sleeping on her feet.

After Zhixia finished washing up, Xiaoman kowtowed Zhixia in a regular manner to greet him, "Happy New Year, girl. I wish you all the best in the new year."

"Okay, Xiaoman is also having a happy New Year. I wish Xiaoman a better and better the new year." Zhixia smiled and handed Xiaoman a red envelope to wish him a New Year.

Xiaoman went to the kitchen to pick up the meal. Uncle He and Aunt Zhang heard that Zhixia had gotten up, so they were about to kneel down outside the corner gate to kowtow to Zhixia to wish him a happy New Year.

Zhixia hurriedly stopped him and asked Xiaoman to take them to the small reception hall.

Jiang Zhixia sat in the main seat, Uncle He and Aunt Zhang were also well-behaved and solemnly kowtowed Zhixia to greet him, "Happy New Year, Miss. I wish you a happy new year and never get rid of all diseases."

The blessings of the couple are simple and realistic.

Jiang Zhixia hurriedly handed over a red envelope with her own hands, "Uncle He is happy for the New Year, and she is healthy in the new year. Aunt Zhang is happy for the New Year, and she is younger and younger in the new year."

In this way, after the New Year's greetings, Zhixia had another dumpling breakfast.

During the Chinese New Year, dumplings are the staple food.

"Xiaoman, bring my new fox fur cloak. I'll go out to wish Brother Chu and Aunt Li a New Year." Jiang Zhixia ordered Xiaoman.

The new fox fur cloak was a leather sent by Chu Tiankuo. It was an expensive white fox fur, and I don’t know where to get it.

Jiang Zhixia refused at that time, it was too expensive.

However, her refusal was invalid.

Because Chu Tiankuo finally went to the garment shop and asked someone to make the fox fur and cloak to give it to Zhixia. He also said that Chu Tiankuo and Chu Mufeng had no female relatives. If Zhixia didn't want it, he had to throw it away.

In this way, Zhixia accepted this expensive fox fur, and has not yet thought about how to return the gift.

Jiang Zhixia first went to Chu Mufeng's house and worshiped Chu Tiankuo for New Year. As a result, Chu Tiankuo gave Zhixia another big red envelope.

After paying New Year's greetings to Chu Tiankuo, Jiang Zhixia knocked on the door of Aunt Li's house to wish New Year's greetings again.

Aunt Li got his daughter-in-law and was happy, so she hurriedly let Zhixia walk to the backyard.

Because Wei Zhuxian became a relative and had a female relative, they all moved to the backyard to live. When Zhixia went in, she happened to meet the new wife of the Wei family. Zhixia was busy paying New Year's greetings. The new wife returned to pay New Year's greetings shyly.

Aunt Li kept Zhixia and talked in her room, ate some melon seeds and refreshments, and finally gave Zhixia a red envelope of New Year greetings.

Jiang Zhixia stayed for a while before saying goodbye to her home. On the way home, Zhixia met many people in the alley again, so she hurriedly greeted each other for New Year's greetings.
