Chapter 309, Row of Bright Red Clothes
While playing a word chain game might be a bit boring on its own, it's not the best way to play.
But with two competitive sisters playing, it's still a lot of fun!
say nothing else,
All they have to do is rack their brains to cheat and lie to the other person, and then go against their conscience to praise them with phrases like "You're good-looking," "You're smart," "You have a good temper," and so on.
That was enough to make them both so happy they couldn't sleep at all.
The two played and joked around in the house, laughing heartily until almost dawn, and finished making all the dumplings before the first day of the Lunar New Year.
So now we come to the fifth important thing on New Year's Eve, which is also the last thing to do today—keep the lights on all night.
According to their memories of tradition, on New Year's Eve, all the lights in the houses should be on all night.
It symbolizes a bright and smooth life in the coming year, free from evil spirits, and also means illuminating the way home for the ancestors.
However, given the limited resources at home, it's a bit difficult to turn on the lights in all the rooms.
So they decided to leave a light on in their bedroom all night, just for the sake of a good omen.
To make the room brighter, they also lit one of the long-burning candles they had bought and placed it on the table.
Lin Chunyi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the large brightly lit area from the table to the bed illuminated by the two lamps, and sighed:
"This is the first time I've ever been able to see this room so clearly at night; it's so bright!"
Lin Lanshan had already gotten into bed and yawned deeply, saying, "Isn't it nice to have some light? I feel so much safer sleeping here. Go to sleep, sis, I'm so sleepy~"
Finally, midnight has passed, and it's the first day of the new year. They can finally go to sleep.
Lin Chunyi shook her shoulder: "Don't sleep yet. You still remember what I told you to pay attention to today, right?"
"Remember, you can't litter or spill water on the ground, you can't sleep in late, you can't lose your temper, you can't take a broom or scissors, you can't..." She began to recite with her eyes closed.
"Okay, I'll remember that. Go to sleep. I'm sleepy too. I need to get up early today. I can't stay in bed on the first day of the Lunar New Year." Lin Chunyi said, then lay down and covered herself with the blanket.
Lin Lanshan was very sleepy and mumbled an "Mmm~" in response. She dozed off and continued to recite the first-year junior high school notes in a disjointed manner.
As she carried her sister on her back, she suddenly remembered something, abruptly opened her eyes, and turned to look at her:
"Wait! Sis, you can't rush me to get up or make me do chores today. We have to rest all day on the first day of the Lunar New Year and can't do any work. Otherwise, I'll be a laborer for the whole year, and I don't want that!"
Speaking of this, she absolutely loves the first year of junior high!
You can eat well, drink well, and have fun without having to do any work, and you won't get scolded no matter how much trouble you cause.
Even the gods couldn't be more amazing on the first day of the lunar new year!
Aside from the fact that I can't sleep in, which is a bit of a downside, there's nothing else to it.
Lin Chunyi was already drifting off to sleep, but this scare woke her up. She could only look at her with amusement: "I know, we're not doing anything today, you can do whatever you want~ Okay, go to sleep now."
She then closed her eyes again and fell asleep peacefully.
The candles and oil lamp on the table burned silently, keeping the bedroom ablaze all night.
The dim, flickering light illuminated most of the room.
Whether it was the two sisters already asleep in bed, Peach and Reunion sleeping soundly in a big ball by the stove, or Silly Egg nodding his head on the wardrobe, everyone slept exceptionally well...
New Year's Day,
Although they went to bed late last night, it didn't stop the "ringing" of their "biological alarm clocks" that they had set for themselves to get up early.
So the two woke up as soon as the sun rose and the sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
The first thing they did after getting up was to put on their bright red new clothes!
Having learned from their experience of wearing a bright red coat last year, neither of them laughed at the other for looking silly this year.
I just feel that red looks so festive and beautiful on me!
The new clothes, symbolizing prosperity and celebration, are definitely not enough for just the two of them.
Peach, Reunion and Peace, and Silly Egg should all wear them to share in the joy; none of them can be missing.
The two didn't call their names to wake them up. Instead, they each grabbed one and dressed them in their new clothes.
As they swayed back and forth, they gradually woke up.
After dealing with them, only the last one, the most troublesome rebellious bird, remained!
"Sis, how do we dress Silly Egg in its new clothes?" Lin Lanshan asked, holding a red scarf in one hand and pointing to the wardrobe above her head with the other.
Perhaps it heard a familiar name, or perhaps the noise was too loud, that woke up the silly dog.
Staring down at the ground.
Good heavens, there was a bright red patch underneath, so red it almost dazzled its eyes. If it were outside, it would probably be caught no matter where it hid!
It blinked and looked again, only to find that one of the two people staring at it was holding up a red cloth. Something seemed a little off.
No, this color is too bright; it's really unpleasant to look at. I had no choice but to turn my head away and close my eyes, refusing to look at it again.
Lin Chunyi hesitated and said, "It doesn't seem like it's very willing to wear it, so maybe I should think of another way..." Then she slowly reached her hand to her waist.
Idiot: "..." It's that trick again, is it never going to end?!
So, after a cup of tea...
Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan, dressed in bright red new jackets, came out of the bedroom with Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang, who were also dressed in red new clothes.
Although he didn't really want to fit in, the silly guy with a red cloth tied around his neck lingered at the back of the group.
But they still stepped forward.
What can it do if it doesn't come out? It's already tied up, it's not like it's going to bite or chew it up...
The effect of the whole family wearing red was quite striking.
If outsiders could see it, they would definitely be able to spot a row of bright red things from a great distance.
It's so festive and stylish!
After their "show," the two sisters left the animals to play around in the yard and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people eat dumplings, which symbolize bringing wealth and good fortune.
One of them busied himself tending the fire, while the other counted and cooked the dumplings. Before long, the plump, white dumplings were bobbing on the surface of the boiling water.
Lin Chunyi placed a bowl of steaming dumplings, freshly scooped from the pot, on the dining table and called out to the yard, "Stop playing and come eat!"
Then the table in the main room was quickly surrounded by people.
The pork and cabbage dumplings, without any strong spices or chili peppers, are fine to give a few to their pets who often eat with them.
So Peach, Reunion and Peace, and Silly Egg all got to eat delicious dumplings.
I'm also grateful to have these greedy little ones, otherwise the two sisters would definitely have used yesterday's extra spicy hot pot broth to cook dumplings today...
"Sis, what are we going to do after we eat?" Lin Lanshan took a bite of the bland dumpling, instinctively wanting to dip it in chili oil sauce, but then gave up.
She can still have spicy food for the next few days, so skipping one meal is better; it'll lighten the load on her stomach and anus.
