Chapter 446 The first day of the Lunar New Year


    The first ray of sunlight of the New Year came in through the gaps in the curtains, and Zhou Chenglei opened his eyes.


    Last night, he and Jiang Xia felt the fetal movement for the first time, and they were a little excited and couldn''t sleep.


    Even people like Jiangxia who can sleep in seconds can''t sleep.


    People like Zhou Chenglei who are too energetic can''t sleep even more.


    Later he was worried that she would not have a good rest and was in a bad mood. He kissed her for a long time before he could coax her to bed.


    Then he was still so excited that he couldn''t sleep that he played with his child.


    The child never paid attention to him again.


    Zhou Chenglei glanced at his wife who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, but did not move.


    He slept with his arms around her, afraid of waking her up when he moved.


    Jiang Xia lay flat, his neck pillowing on his arms, his head was a little on the pillow, his head was tilted, his forehead was pressed against his jaw, and his nose was sprayed on his neck, and he was sleeping very well.


    Zhou Chenglei slept on the side. He had long arms, one long arm avoided the child, hugged her, and was bent by the arm she was pillowing, covering her with her small arms and big palms.


    Her legs were tangled, holding her whole body in her arms.


    Jiang Xia''s hand was lightly placed on his arm, and the other one held his wrist without strength.


    The whole person was surrounded by him, his breathing was as clear as the sea, and he slept very peacefully.


    I slept until nine o''clock and showed no sign of waking up.


    On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Chenglei stayed with her to sleep motionlessly, waiting for her to sleep well and full.


    Now Jiang Xia slept with his arm all night.


    Zhou Chenglei can sleep motionlessly until dawn in one position.


    Jiang Xia is not. She loves to move around and always turns over.


    Sleep on the left side, sleep on the right side, and lie flat.


    Sometimes his little face buried in his shoulders, and sometimes his back is pressed against his chest.


    I like to kick quilts when it is hot, and I like to hide in the quilt when it is cold and shrink into his arms.


    This leads to different postures of Zhou Chenglei wake up every day, and he holds her in different postures every day when he wakes up.


    When they first got together, he woke up as soon as she moved.


    Now I am used to it and will not wake up.


    After getting used to it, even in his sleep, he would subconsciously hold her, hug her, and protect her, so that she could find the most comfortable sleeping position in his arms.


    Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia’s quiet sleeping face and thought about her sleeping moments.


    Time passed without realizing it.


    Zhou Chenglei woke up at seven o''clock and Jiang Xia opened her eyes at half past nine o''clock.


    She was still a little confused and raised her hand to rub her eyes: "What time is it?"


    "It''s still early." It''s not good to rub your eyes, Zhou Chenglei pulled down her hand and refused to let her rub it. Then he crawled in and kissed her.


    …


    So the couple started the first day of the New Year in a loving manner.


    Jiang Xia went downstairs almost 11:30, so he saved breakfast and could just have lunch.


    On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhou family was used to eating vegetarian food, and Zhou’s mother was washing vegetables by the well.


    Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed: "Mom, what dish to cook? I''ll cook it."


    Zhou Chenglei was also washing the bed sheets upstairs.


    Zhou''s mother smiled and said, "No, you have breakfast first, the breakfast is hot in the pot. There is no food to cook today, and our family is vegetarian today. Is there such a custom in your parents'' home? I don''t have it in my parents'' home, only when I get married."


    The Zhou family has 365 days a year, and only on the first day of the Lunar New Year will you eat vegetarian food.


    And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you don’t move your knife, sweep the floor, or take a bath.


    Jiang Xia didn''t know if there was any, so she just smiled and said, "The vegetarian dishes are delicious, I''ll make a few delicious vegetarian dishes." Jiang Xia first went to the kitchen to get a wheat bean cake fried by Zhou''s mother, drank a bowl of lotus seeds, lily and yam porridge, and then started preparing lunch.


    Although he is a vegetarian, Jiang Xia also plans to prepare a table of hearty vegetarian dishes.


    Five people, cook six dishes, the new year''s sixth best


    So Jiang Xia was in charge of the chef, Zhou’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared lunch together.


    Zhou Chenglei came down soon and he came to help.


    After Zhou''s mother washed all the ingredients, she let the couple work in the kitchen.


    She went to the kitchen next door to make a Luohan vegetarian dish that she ate every year at home. Zhou''s father loved it very much.


    Jiangxia fry a candy and moonlight, Zhou Chenglei fryed a sweet potato meatball, Jiangxia fryed a cold fungus, Zhou Chenglei made a stir-fryed cabbage and fryed a shredded potato.


    Wen Wan sat on the windowsill and watched the couple chatting and laughing in the kitchen together.


    Such a married life is what she yearns for.


    She turned her head and looked at Zhou Guohua who was lying on the bed to recover from his injuries, and felt a sense of depression.


    Because he was injured, she was scolded by his mother every day!


    She was also called a broom star!


    Humph, if she doesn''t tell Zhou Guohua in two years, he will have something wrong, and his son will be disabled.


    And broom star!

    When the food was almost ready, Zhou''s mother asked Zhou Zhou to come back to have dinner with her grandfather.


    Zhou Zhou responded and ran out.


    Jiang Xia asked: "Where have you been?"


    Zhou Chenglei: "It should be that I went to see someone else play cards."


    Zhou’s mother: “I’m going to see others playing cards, either in the convenience store or at Uncle Gui’s house. There are people playing cards in these two places in the village every year.”


    Everyone at home got up late today. They slept late last night and had nothing to do today. They were rare to have free time. Zhou’s father slept until half past ten o’clock before getting up, and then went to the village to watch others play poker and mahjong.


    During the Chinese New Year, all the people who went out to work in the village came back. Everyone would make an appointment to play cards and mahjong together when they were free.


    Zhou’s father did not play cards or mahjong because Zhou’s mother didn’t like it, and he didn’t like it either.


    But on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no need to visit relatives or go to sea. If he has nothing to do, he will go and see others playing cards and talk to people in the village.


    Zhou Zhou had just run out for a while and came back with Zhou''s father.


    Zhou’s mother: “Where are you going? You’re almost eating, and I don’t know how to come back.”


    Zhou''s father smiled and said, "Are you back? You went to Agui''s house to watch others play mahjong. You are lucky today and you were dragged by your in-laws for a long time."


    Zhou''s mother glared at him: "Did you play cards?"


    Zhou Chenglei also looked at Zhou''s father.


    Zhou''s father smiled and said, "No, it''s because my in-laws lost several times, so he asked me to help him touch the cards. He said I was lucky recently and the entire production team was the most prosperous. I just touched it a few times, but I didn''t expect that I was really prosperous. After touching it a few times, he won a few times."


    When the others met, they asked him to help them draw cards, and Zhou''s father became a hot commodity.


    However, Zhou’s father did not help, he only helped Li Xiuxian’s father, after all, he was a relative.


    Zhou''s father washed his hands and helped to move the food: "Hurry up and eat, my in-laws asked me to come over to help him after the meal."


    Zhou''s mother came into the house with her bowls and chopsticks, and she disagreed as soon as she heard it: "What''s there to help? Don''t get addicted! Even playing with yourself!"


    Zhou''s father came into the house with a rice cooker in his arms and promised, "That won''t be possible. I promised you won''t do anything you can''t do. I''ll help him touch the cards, I won''t play."


    Zhou''s mother also believed in Zhou''s father. For at least decades, he would do whatever he promised her.


    Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia also brought two dishes into the house together.


    On the second floor next door, Wen Wan heard their conversation, thought of something, and curled her lips and smiled.


    If Jiang Xia’s father knew that he had a family member who was arrested for playing cards, would he feel embarrassed?


    Tomorrow is the day to go back to my parents’ home, right?
