On the first day of Chinese New Year, Yang Yi woke up feeling refreshed. Murphy's face was also rosy, as if it was coated with a layer of luster. Of course, Xi Xi was the happiest. When she woke up early in the morning, she received a red packet from her father, which awakened her beautiful memories of Chinese New Year.
The little girl did not even bother to wash her face. She giggled and ran to her mother's room in her slippers. She said to her mother, who was changing Tong Tong's diaper, "Congratulations!" Obviously, she was also asking her mother for a red packet!
Xi Xi happily held the two red packets. She could not bear to put them in her pocket. She kicked off her slippers, climbed onto the bed, and waved the red packets in front of Tong Tong's eyes.
"Hehe, little brother, I have a red packet. Do you want one?" Rather than saying that Xi Xi wanted to share her red packet with her little brother, it was more accurate to say that she was showing off to her little brother that she had received a red packet.
This red "piece of paper" was still a little attractive to Little Rascal. The little rascal didn't even blink as it stared at it closely. However, Little Rascal was busy eating its own fingers and didn't bother to make a sound to ask for it from its sister.
Murphy looked at the siblings in amusement. After Xi Xi finished showing off, she said, "Little brother also has a red packet. Look, it's all in his clothes."
Today, Tong Tong was wearing new clothes like his father, mother, and sister. There was a cheeky zebra cartoon on it, and the teeth in the zebra's smile were actually big pockets. They could be stuffed into the pockets by unzipping them in the middle.
Murphy opened Tong Tong's pockets and showed the two red packets to Xi Xi. Obviously, Yang Yi and Murphy would not favor one over the other. Moreover, the red packets were actually just a symbol. They represented the parents' wishes for their children for the New Year.
Xi Xi was a little surprised to see Tong Tong's red packet. After a while, Xi Xi, who had just finished washing up, could not help but look at the big red packet on her brother's stomach.
Tong Tong did not notice his sister peeping at him. He bit his pacifier and waved his hand happily. Perhaps he wanted to play with his sister.
"Mom, I can help little brother get his red packet." Xi Xi jumped down from the bed and moved step by step to her mother, who was arranging the milk powder and diapers in her small schoolbag.
Murphy had already discovered Xi Xi's little action. She knew that this little girl was envious of her brother's red packet. At this moment, when she heard Xi Xi's words, she couldn't help but laugh. "Well, let your brother take his red packet. If you still want a red packet, ask Dad for it!"
After finally dispelling Xi Xi's idea of helping her brother keep his red packet, Murphy picked up Tong Tong and affectionately kissed him on the forehead.
Little guy, you don't even know what almost happened just now!
…
When Xixi went downstairs, she saw her father talking to Xiao Guai and the others. The three British Shorthairs and the dog were standing in a row, as if they were being inspected. It was very interesting. The little girl forgot her purpose of coming again and joined in happily.
Yang Yi felt that today was the New Year. No matter what, he should give these four little family members "red packets" so that they could have a "rich" and happy New Year.
"Steamed Bun, bring your rice bowl over." Yang Yi patted Steamed Bun, who had already smelled the scent and was eagerly wagging his tail, and pointed at the rice bowl next to his nest.
Steamed Bun was really smart. When the three British Shorthairs needed his master to personally deal with them, he immediately turned around and ran over after receiving the order. With his head in his mouth, he ran over with his personal rice bowl in his mouth.
After putting it down, Steamed Bun raised a paw and put it on Yang Yi's foot. He wagged his tail fawningly, as if he was asking for praise. "Big master, look, I've done it obediently!"
"Well done!" Yang Yi rubbed Steamed Bun's head and smiled as he put a few pieces of dried duck meat in Steamed Bun's bowl.
Not only that, Yang Yi also opened the box and took out a piece of beef bone that was slightly longer than a palm. It was a big dried bone with some meat hanging on it.
This was the reason why Steamed Bun was so excited. Seeing the big master take it out, Steamed Bun couldn't help but grab onto his trousers. He stood up, put his two front paws together, and shook his head up and down as if he was bowing.
"Hee hee, PaPa, Steamed Bun is also telling you to be happy and get rich!" Xi Xi thought it was very funny.
Of course, this was something that Yang Yi had taught Steamed Bun before. He wasn't so smart that he could learn it on his own.
The well-behaved Steamed Bun got what he wanted. He received the most sumptuous snack meal since he was born. Usually, Yang Yi was worried that he would be picky about food, so he didn't give him snacks often, let alone so many today.
It was the three naughty cats' turn!
They weren't interested in Steamed Bun's meat and bones at all. Even though Steamed Bun was holding the bones and chewing happily, they didn't even bother to look at him. However, they knew that there was going to be something delicious because they saw the bag of dried fish in their master's hand.
"Meow …" Little Gray was the first one who couldn't sit still. He got up from the ground and walked around his rice bowl. From time to time, he raised his head to look at the big master. He couldn't help but meow.
"Come, Xi Xi, you give each of them a handful of dried fish and a handful of these biscuits." Yang Yi smiled and let the excited little girl distribute the New Year's gifts to the three kittens.
…
Guo Ziyi invited Yang Yi and the others to play in the city square where the spring festival event was held. Around nine o 'clock in the morning, Yang Yi held Xi Xi's hand and took Murphy to the city square of Wuhu District.
Sure enough, it was very lively. The spacious municipal square was now filled with colorful flags and people. Not only were there many people at the lantern riddles, but there were also many people in front of the game and food stalls that had been planned beforehand.
Yang Yi and Murphy didn't deliberately dress up. Murphy only wore a cap, and together with her long hair, it covered her beautiful face. But even so, they walked in the middle of the crowd and weren't recognized.
At this time, the people playing in the city square were either families or couples. Everyone was glowing, talking and laughing with their families and friends. They were going for the fun. How could they have the time to look at the passersby?
Besides, who would have thought that there would be celebrities coming to play in such a place?
Normally, Yang Yi wouldn't feel at ease bringing Murphy and the children to a place with so many people. But it was the Spring Festival. Wasn't it supposed to enjoy a lively atmosphere during the Spring Festival?
Guo Ziyi and Yang Yi met in front of the beverage shop. He handed Xi Xi the milk tea enthusiastically and said with a smile, "The lion and dragon dance will wait until 10: 30. Let's go guess the lantern riddles first. At 10: 15, I'll take you to find a good place to watch!"
However, after Xi Xi took the milk tea, she didn't rush to drink it. Instead, she hugged the milk tea and looked at Guo Ziyi with her bright eyes. She said, "Uncle Guo, congratulations!"
Guo Ziyi didn't seem to understand. He smiled and replied, "Congratulations!"
That's it?
After waiting for a while, Xi Xi couldn't help but pout. She couldn't help but say something.
Guo Ziyi smiled and took out a red packet from his pocket. He handed it to Xi Xi and said, "Little ancestor, of course, Uncle Guo has already prepared this for you! Do you think I'll forget? "
The little girl who took the red packet was beaming with joy. However, it wasn't over yet. She giggled and said, "But, what about my brother?"
"Haha, alright, alright. Don't make things difficult for Uncle Guo!" Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh. He was amused by his daughter's brain circuit.
"That's a must!" Guo Ziyi said exaggeratedly. He took out another red packet from his pocket like a magic trick. "But, this red packet, is it for my brother? Or should I let you hold it for him? "
"Give it to me. I'll hold it for my brother!" Xi Xi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She shook her little butt and said as if it was a matter of course.
Unfortunately, her mother snatched her love away. Murphy stopped the little money-grubber's hand and smiled. "That won't do. What belongs to my brother should belong to him."
After fooling around for a while, they went to guess the lantern riddles.
The lantern riddles were bustling, but the riddles that were easy to guess had already been guessed by others. Murphy held onto Tong Tong and looked at a few with interest. However, even after pondering for a long time, she still couldn't guess the riddle.
"Yang Yi, come and take a look. This is a knowing smile. What's the word 'yi'?" Murphy called Yang Yi over.
"A knowing smile …" Yang Yi pondered for a moment before he smiled. "It's the word 'Dui'."
"Why is it 'Dui'?" Murphy couldn't figure it out.
"Because the combination of the word 'Dui' and 'Yue' is the word 'Yue'. It's a joyful smile, so it's called a knowing smile!" Yang Yi explained.
"Is that even possible? You're so good at guessing riddles? " Murphy looked at Yang Yi in shock. She refused to believe it and asked Yang Yi to guess another one. "What's the word 'Have to show'?"
"That's simple!" Yang Yi said confidently.
"How is it simple? I've been thinking about it for a long time! "Murphy said unhappily.
"Have to show your head. If you take it apart, you'll get the word 'No'. However, there's another 'No' that shows its head. It's the word 'cup' in the word 'cup'!" Yang Yi explained to Murphy.
On the other side, Guo Ziyi also showed off his clever brain to Xi Xi. He guessed a few riddles one after another.
For example, 'You have to use all your strength to scratch an itch.' The answer to this riddle was' to grasp the main point. '
"Why is it to grasp the main point?" Xi Xi still didn't understand. Of course, it was also her first time hearing the phrase 'grasp the main point.'
"Because it says that you have to use all your strength to scratch an itch! Using all your strength means using all your strength. If you use all your strength, won't you scratch it hard? "Guo Ziyi explained.
"Yes, yes!" Xi Xi nodded.
"Scratching an itch is also scratching, so you have to scratch harder. Grasp the main point!" Guo Ziyi spread out his hands and said casually.
"Hehe, alright!" The little girl was still in a daze, but she felt that the way Uncle Xiao Guo spoke was very funny.
After a while, Yang Yi and Guo Ziyi actually managed to guess a thick stack of riddles. In the end, Guo Ziyi brought Xi Xi to the reception desk to exchange for the prize. This stack of riddles was enough for them to exchange for the grand prize — a three-piece set on the bed!
However, Xi Xi didn't want the grand prize. Instead, she wanted the third prize — a little rabbit that could walk on its own once it was wound up!
"Whatever the child wants, just give it to her!" Guo Ziyi shrugged and said to the staff, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing how wasteful this fellow was, the onlookers felt sorry for him. However, who asked Xi Xi to like it so much?
Xi Xi really liked this wind-up rabbit. Even when Uncle Xiao Guo brought them to a nearby shopping mall to find a place where they didn't have to squeeze with others to watch the lion and dragon dance, and that spectacular performance overwhelmed the little girl, she was still unwilling to let go of the rabbit.
"The Spring Festival is the most fun!" After returning home, the little girl still couldn't forget about it. When she called her grandparents, she happily told them this.
