Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang

    On the New Year's Eve, the village was full of joy, and the village was very lively. After the firecrackers in the east of the village were blown up, they went to the west of the village. At noon, there were more firecrackers. Some people ate New Year's meal at noon, so the firecrackers were set off at noon, and those who ate in the evening were set off at night.

    Zhang Fangyuan's family decided before that they would have meal together in the evening, so the whole family started to cook in the afternoon. Apart from the four members of his own family, the three members of Zhang Shicheng's family also came to have a reunion dinner this year, which was more lively. Originally, he also called Zhang Fangyuan’s eldest uncle’s family, but Zhang Shixin's family couldn't come, saying that his two cousins​​finally came back for the New Year, so they had reunion at home.

    Zhang Fangyuan was happy and felt comfortable.

    The whole afternoon was lively and busy, the men were in charge of killing chickens, ducks and fish, while the women cleaned the vegetables and prepared the ingredients, and Xu He was in charge of the cooking.

    A big rooster was killed at home. After Zhang Fangyuan cleaned the feathers, he grabbed a handful of straw to burn the tiny hairs. The chicken became more delicious after being smoked with straw. He patted the fat chicken and brought it in for Xu He.

    After the rooster was cleaned, it was not chopped up immediately. The whole chicken was boiled in a pot, and when it took a shape, it was picked up again. There was also a large piece of square bacon in a basin. According to the tradition, joss stick, candle, and money paper were taken to offer sacrifice to the ancestors and the Bodhisattva.

    Zhang Fangyuan cut half a radish and put it on the window, put a lit joss stick in it, tore some money paper and burned it, and then he began to mumble to invite the God of Kitchen to come to have a meal. Bidding farewell to the old and welcome the new year auspiciously.

    This was something that Zhang Fangyuan’s parents did when they were still alive. Later, the family became deserted. He occasionally stayed in the village, and the last thing he wanted to do was to go home during the Chinese New Year. When the whole family was supposed to be reunited, his own house was deserted. The whole house was full of traces of the lively life in the past, how could this kind of circumstances that evoked mixed feelings didn’t make him feel sad.

    Last year, the house was cold and deserted, and he still went to his fourth uncle's house to eat the New Year's dinner. In a blink of an eye, his own house also became lively when it was time for the New Year. He became more active than before, buying and buying everything, looking forward to cram everything to his house.

    For the first time, Xu He didn't say anything about him. After thinking about it, he knew that it was not easy for him to be alone in the past. This was the first New Year for the couple, and naturally it shouls be as lively as possible.

    "The Kitchen God please eat and drink as much as you want, and bless our family to prosper, and my fulang is safe and sound..."

    Xu He kicked someone beside him: "Who said that you should beg the Kitchen God for this matter, he can't control so much."

    Zhang Fangyuan said: "Then who to beg, go to the temple to beg Guanyin?"

    "Ayuan, look at you, you are so stupid, you should go to beg the ancestors of the Zhang family to bless you." He Shi walked in and saw Zhang Fangyuan who was begging to the Kitchen God, she couldn't help laughing.     

Zhang Fangyuan said: "Then I'll bring more joss sticks, candles, money paper, two jars of wine and good food to pay homage to the graves of the ancestors and parents."

When Zhang Shiyue came in, she saw him holding basin full of things, she said with a smile, "This kid."

Later, the sky was gray. On the large table made of two square tables, there were large plates and small bowls full with dishes, which were very rich.

    Stewed chicken vermicelli, winter bamboo shoots with pork ribs, fish soup, distiller's grain duck, and there was also boiled distiller's grain crab. There were big dishes and small dishes. Chicken, duck and fish that were common on the dining table of ordinary people were all put together on the table today, hot dishes and cold dishes, fried, stewed and marinated were all ready.

    Zhang Fangyuan also opened the big wine he brought back from the city, and opened a pot with Zhang Shicheng.

    At the middle of the meal, when it was dark Zhang Fangyuan took out the fireworks he had bought before, and Xu He also distributed lucky money to Xiaomao and Xiao'e.

    This year they went out to fish out money from their pockets, but next year, the elders of the Zhang family should give lucky money to their cubs.

    After the Chinese New Year, in the first few days, every villagers in the village would visit their relatives.

    Zhang Fangyuan didn't go out much before, anyway, his two closest relatives were in the village, but Xu He felt that he still had to take care of his relationship with relatives and friends, since they all lived in the village after all.

    Now their family looked strong, but there were always ups and downs, and there were always times when they would be in trouble.

    With him making the decision, Zhang Fangyuan obediently went to his eldesr uncle's house to deliver a jar of wine and a box of pastries. As for his sixth uncle in the city, he didn't even come here when his family had something to do, so he didn't care. There were also relatives from his mother's family, they were also from the city, but even when his mother was alive, they seldom contacted her, and now it was even more unnecessary to stick a hot face on a cold ass.

[热脸贴冷屁股 rè liǎn tiē lěng pì gu: (to stick a hot face on a cold ass) to show warm feelings but meet with cold rebuke; to be snubbed despite showing good intentions]

    Other than that, there were some relatives from the cousin family, and he also gave some things to those who had contacts in the village, and then it was Xu He's mother's family.
