Father picked up the wine cup and said joyfully, "Baby, dad will have a drink with you. You're doing pretty well this year, even finding a wife after earning money. Boy, you're so much better than dad back then."

Chu Tian drank it all in one go, then said to his father: "Dad, drink less, the doctor told you to drink less, your body is more important."

Dad said dryly, "It's nothing. I just let Dad drink once during the new year, so I usually don't drink at all. Today, when you come back, dad will feel really comfortable. I think this girl, Mai, is pretty good. If she's a good person, then she's quite capable. You must treat her well and learn from her. Nowadays, there were only lazy people who died of exhaustion. No matter where the lazy people went, they would always be poor. As long as they worked diligently and had skills, there would always be food to eat wherever they went. If not for the fact that father learned the art of cultivating this fruit tree and was able to prune and look after the insects, our family would not have had any extra income. How would we be able to build a large tile house with just a few acres of farmland? When can I buy a farm car? "

In the early days of the village, all people who called him father and all people who called him mother were all his parents. Later, when he was still a fashionable student, when Chu Tian's group of children called him father and mother, his father would often appear. In order to distinguish between her two parents, Soo Soo called her parents over here and called them parents, especially when they were with her family.

Dad, you and Mom are old, so you should enjoy a few years of blessings. In the future, work less and take care of your body, I will earn enough money to support you and Mom.

"That won't do, the orchard is our lifeline. Foolish child, if we don't have this orchard, why don't we go drink in the northwest wind? I was just thinking, these acres are all old fruit trees, changing heads doesn't really mean much, and it still took a lot of effort. These few years, the dried fruit market was pretty good, our mountain area is also suitable for growing dried fruits, so we might as well chop the fruit trees in the beginning of spring and plant chestnuts. "

Chu Tian felt that his father's words were reasonable: "Alright, this is a pretty good idea."

"Chestnut management is rough, anti-freeze, and there are very few diseases and insects. It's good to sell, but the price has not been low for the past few years, so it's best suited for the current development." Looking at the future, Chu Tian's father was full of pride.

Chu Tian said: "Isn't buying chestnut seedlings worth a lot of money? Do we have any money at home? "

Dad waved his hand. "Baby, you don't have to worry about that. Your second aunt will bring Soo Soo back after the new year. Your mother told her to borrow several tens of thousands from your second aunt first."

Chu Tian nodded his head: "That's fine, but dad, you have to take care of your body, this is the most important thing, I am most worried about you and Mom's bodies outside. As long as you guys are healthy and safe, I can do things peacefully, and can easily earn big money, if anything happens to you guys, I am not in the mood to work outside. Your femoral head necrosis is also related to alcohol consumption. In the future, you must drink less, especially less low-alcohol consumption. "

I, your father, know what to do. With your father at home, you can rest assured that your father will not be able to rest easy, and that your father will be sick if he is free. Therefore, this orchard was entrusted to him.

"The dumplings are here." While they were talking, Mesu and her mother pushed open the door and came in carrying the steaming hot dumplings.

Seeing the dumplings, Chu Tian's appetite rose. It had been a long time since he had eaten his mother's dumplings.

"Come, let go of your stomach and eat." Mom happily sat down, "This plate is for the porridge. This plate is for the mutton. The baby likes to eat the mutton, so I specifically wrapped it for him."

When his mother said that, Chu Tian immediately followed up: "We also brought back a sheep that we killed earlier, we even had time to drink the whole sheep Soup."

His mother quickly agreed, "Sure, I won't be able to eat mutton outside, right?"

Chu Tian nodded and started to eat the dumplings. He suddenly spat out something from his mouth: "Mom, I ate a chestnut."

"Alright, baby, next year you'll be sweating profusely." Father said.

Hearing that, Mai Su was very interested, so he asked Chu Tian while eating: "There's a bag of food inside the dumpling, why can't I eat it?"

Mom happily said, "Don't worry about your daughter. You'll be able to eat her in a while. There's something else in the dumpling. Let's see what else you can eat."

As he was speaking, his father said, "I ate a fruit (peanut) from the dumplings."

"Wow, dad, you're going to live for a hundred years." Chu Tian said to his father while grinning.

They all congratulated Dad on eating the peanuts.

"Why haven't I eaten yet?"

Chu Tian: "Take it slow. People with good fortune don't worry about it."

At this time, Ma spoke again, "Look, I've eaten a jujube."

"Bao`er's mom, you can still get up and work early next year. We can still get rich from work." Dad said cheerfully.

When Mesu saw that everyone had eaten, she was so envious that she couldn't help but speed up the progress of eating the dumplings, hoping that she would be able to get something to eat.

While Mesu was eating, a new one-dollar coin popped out of her mouth.

Everyone was very happy when they saw this. Chu Tian congratulated Mai Su again and again, "You've eaten the God of Fortune, you'll get rich next year."

Ma smiled as she looked at Mesu. "My daughter is a pummeling merchant, she will definitely prosper after eating till next year."

Mesu was also very happy. She wiped the steel roll clean and put it in her bag. "Me will keep it as a souvenir."

Then everyone happily continued to eat their dumplings.

While she ate, Missu said to her mother, "Auntie, I almost forgot. I still have some frozen beef dumplings in my bag. I forgot to bring them out to cook. I'll go cook some more."

He started to get up.

Ma immediately waved at Messi, "Mac, you still don't understand my New Year customs. You are not allowed to eat beef dumplings for New Year's."

"Why?"

"Let me tell you something." Chu Tian took it and said: "The 30 year old dumplings are very particular. Most people in their families would use pork and leek as a filling, instead of eating the animal filling for the dumplings. The cattle toil for a year, and people can't bear to use their meat in New Year's Eve dumplings. Do you know why the dumplings we eat are stuffed with shepherd's money? Shepherds are the voice of wealth collection. "

He pointed to the door and asked, "I almost tripped when I came in. Why is there a wooden stick in front of the door?"

Chu Tian and his parents looked at each other and laughed. Chu Tian said, "This is a door blocking rod, not only are there doors to the living rooms, there are also doors to all the doors to the house. "This is also my New Year's custom. From New Year's Eve onwards, all the doorposts in the house have to be put down, meaning that the demons and devils can't enter the house, and the fortune in the house can't flow out, and the doorposts have to be placed on the fifteenth day of the first month before they can be removed."

The more Messi heard, the more interested he became. "What other customs do you guys have for the new year? Tell them all to me."

Chu Tian tapped the plate on the table and pointed to the dumplings, "Eat first, since you still have some things to take care of after you've eaten your fill, read them to me while talking."

"Yes, it's bad, it's bad." Mom and Dad also said to Mesu.

When the gala prelude to the Spring Festival Gala started to cheer up, the family also ate and drank to their heart's content. Mesu helped her mother clean up the table, and her father started to heat the brick bed with a fire. He also brewed tea as Chu Tian cleaned the floor.

At this moment, the wind and snow had stopped outside. Deep in the mountains, the small village was completely silent. Occasionally, the sounds of firecrackers could be heard, indicating that the children were playing.

After cleaning up, the family went to the warm room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

His parents sat on the same sofa, and naturally, Chu Tian and Messi sat together.

The room was warm, and Messi, in a sweater, did not feel cold at all. He was also sweating a little.

"Huh? Strange, why are there no firecrackers in the village?" Mai Su quietly asked Chu Tian.

Chu Tian looked at Mai Su's charming, soft, fair, and beautiful face, as well as her slim and plump body. His heart couldn't help but lurch, and he quickly shifted his gaze away, saying, "The custom here is to fire the first round of firecrackers at midnight, and the second round will start again in the morning.

Mesu nodded. "So that's how it is. Ha, I understand now."

His parents could no longer stay idle. They busied themselves as they watched the Spring Festival Gala.

Dad took out a thick stack of yellow papyrus and put it on the ground in several piles. He found a short, cylindrical stick, stood it up, put one end on the paper, and then he hit the other end with a stick. When he hit the paper, there was a square imprint of copper coins on the paper. As this went on, the prints were neatly lined up on the paper.

Chu Tian went over. "Dad, let me do it."

After saying that, Chu Tian took the things in his father's hands and began to knock on the door skillfully.

Mai Su knelt beside Chu Tian and whispered: "Baby, what is this?"

Chu Tian swept a glance at his parents from the corner of his eyes. None of them noticed as the sound of the television covered Mai Su's voice.

Chu Tian made a face at Mai Su, "I'm making fake money."

"Liar, tell me what it is."

Chu Tian hurriedly said: "This is called punching paper, this paper is made from straw and straw, it is burned to the dead. This copper coin mark is precisely used to change this straw paper into paper money, and when you send out the paper in the middle of the night, you have to use it to give money to the heavens and to the Kitchen Lords."

Mesu nodded. What does the paper do?

Chu Tian: "Don't ask so clearly for now, just take it one step at a time. You'll know when the time comes and I'll slowly tell you."

"May I take a picture?"

"Of course, no problem." Chu Tian said.

Mai Su took out her phone and patted Chu Tian hard, and even took a few close-ups.

After that, Mai Su didn't do anything, but continued to take a few pictures for his parents. Then, Mai Su aimed at the prizes on the wall and cracked it, taking in all of the glorious progress that Chu Tian had made since he was young.

After Chu Tian finished typing, Mai Su got Chu Tian to take a few pictures for her, and also took a few pictures with her parents. She also took a few pictures with Chu Tian and her parents. Then, Mai Su said to his father, "Uncle, why don't you take a picture with Chu Tian and I?"

Dad took Mesu's cell phone and nodded.

Chu Tian felt that something wasn't right when he heard that Messi wanted to take a picture with him, but he couldn't really say anything. Thus, he sat on the sofa with Messi with his back against the mountain wall that was plastered with prizes.

Mai Su generously sat next to Chu Tian with her shoulders pressed together and her legs pressed together.

Chu Tian was a little nervous in his heart. The unique fragrance on Mai Su's body made him unable to maintain his composure, he was too close, as if he was dreaming. This devastatingly beautiful woman was still so far away, but now he was sitting right next to him.

Although the two of them had made close contact the day before, they had, after all, been in the middle of a blizzard. The cold had dispersed everything, so there was no such thought in their minds.

But now, in this warm room, with the two wearing thin clothes taking pictures together, Chu Tian's heart could not help but begin to beat faster.

He wanted to move to the side, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that if he ignored her, he would embarrass her.

Seeing Mai Su's magnanimous look, Chu Tian's heart calmed down a little. Mai Su's heart was filled with generosity, it was all because of his own dirty heart.

They posed for their father to take a picture.

Who knew that his father would always be wrong. After a long time, he finally clicked.

Mesu went over to take a look. "Oh, uncle, it's not a big dream. Let's do it again."

Thus, the two of them sat right next to each other. This time, Mai Su slightly tilted her body, her chest slightly touching Chu Tian's arm.

Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat, the fragrance in Mai Su's body became even stronger, and the heat from his body even reached his body. The two were so close, Chu Tian even heard Mai Su's calm breathing.

His father had struggled for a long time before finally finishing the filming.

Chu Tian exhaled a long breath of relief.
