New year's Eve is a good day for family reunion. The kitchen cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The four members of the Mu Chen family gathered together, eating hot meals, talking and laughing loudly, and enjoying themselves alone.
After the reunion dinner, Shen Jingli took out a good new year's money, one to Mu Jin, one to xun'er.
After receiving the new year's money, xun'er turned around and put it into his little cotton padded jacket. His smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. He held Shen Jingli's arm and kept calling for amu.
Shen Jingli picked him up and let him sit on his lap. He felt that the little guy was heavy again.
One year later, xun'er was two years old. He was taller and thinner. He looked more like Mu Chen. He was cute and handsome.
On New Year's Eve, there was a dragon and lion dance performance in the center of Zhuque street. Mu Jin was very excited and asked Mu Jing to go out to play together.
Shen Jingli sat in the warm room with xun'er in his arms, telling him the story of the new year beast, while Mu Chen sat on the side of his bed, looking at a Book of war.
Xun'er listens attentively to Shen Jingli's story telling. From time to time, he also widens his eyes and frowns to show that he listens carefully.
”Nian beast is most afraid of red, fire and explosion, so every new year's Eve, every family pastes red couplets and sets off firecrackers
”Scare away Nian beast.” Xun'er clapped his hands happily, then pulled up his clothes and said, ”xun'er wears red clothes and is not afraid of new year animals.”
Xun'er wore a red cotton padded jacket and a red tiger head cap. He looked very happy.
”Yes, xun'er is the best. Nian beast is scared away.” Shen Jingli held xun'er and rubbed his soft face.
Praised by Eminem, xun'er smiles to show a small white tooth, cleverly to Shen Jingli's arms.
Mu Chen looked at their father and son's appearance, gently raised the corners of his mouth, and felt that the years were quiet and happy.
On New Year's Eve, we should keep watch for the new year's Eve. According to the custom of the Dayan Dynasty, the daughter-in-law is to add longevity to the elders. We can't go to bed early. The longer we sit, the longer our elders live, the more they can show their filial piety.
It is said that on New Year's Eve every year, the Empress Dowager always transcribes Buddhist scriptures and guards it until dawn. Therefore, the Empress Dowager likes it very much.
Shen Jingli lit a pair of high candles and a charcoal basin, so he continued to sit on the Luohan bed to play with xun'er.
After playing with building blocks and jigsaw puzzles for a while, Shen Jingli coaxed xun'er to sleep, but xun'er was so energetic that he refused to sleep. Instead, he stood up and hopped on the Luohan bed.
Shen Jingli looked at him like this, but somehow he remembered that when he was a child, he would make a lot of noise, refuse to sleep, and pester the old man to play games.
Shen Jingli laughed and turned his head. He saw xun'er fluttering into Mu Chen's arms and patted all the books in his hands.
Holding xun'er's soft body carefully, Mu Chen adjusted his holding method to make xun'er comfortable in his arms.
Xun'er rubbed in Mu Chen's arms, stretched out his short arm, held Mu Chen's neck, put his soft face on Mu Chen's face, and exclaimed, ”Dad, ride a horse, I want to ride a horse...”
Looking at xun'er's expectant eyes, Mu Chen's eyes became more and more gentle. He picked xun'er up, and in xun'er's excited cry, he put him on his neck, grabbed his two legs and stood up.
The suddenly raised sight makes xun'er laugh happily, holding Mu Chen's head and giggling.
Hearing xun'er's laughter, Mu Chen felt a sense of achievement as a father. He carried xun'er around the room, making xun'er laugh.
Shen Jingli watched their father and son have a good time and can't help laughing. But he still remembers to let xun'er go to bed early, so he reminds them.
After playing for a long time, xun'er Xu was tired of playing and lay in Mu Chen's arms and fell asleep.
Mu Chen put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, watched him turn over two times in bed, then fell asleep, and then went back to Luohan bed to watch the new year with Shen Jingli.
”Another year passed.” Shen Jingli leaned on Mu Chen's back and sighed.
Mu Chen looked back at him. He was relieved when he didn't see the nostalgic look on his face. He had already guessed that Shen Jingli was not Shen Jingli before. What he was most afraid of was that he would suddenly disappear, leave the body and leave him.
He side body, reach out to hold him, promise: ”no matter how many years, I will accompany you.”
Shen Jingli looked back at him. In the eyes of Mo, he was determined. He laughed and nestled in Mu Chen's arms. Fortunately, he met this person in his life.
------
on the first day of the new year's day, Mammy Jin asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast and hot dishes of New Year cakes.
Shen Jingli stayed up late last night, so he got up late in the morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw xun'er sitting at the head of the bed. Seeing him wake up, he immediately yelled at him, ”am, get up quickly. Xun'er is hungry.”
Xun'er patted his little belly and said with a smile: ”xun'er, wait for Eminem to get up and eat rice cake.”When he finished eating breakfast, Xun Li quickly got up and was scared to sleep.
Mu Chen and Mu Jin were talking in the side hall. Seeing him coming in, Mu Jin rushed to him and said, ”sister-in-law, come and have breakfast.”
