Chapter 550: Look at the joy

"Oh!" Zhan Changsheng remembered and said, "That's right! After dinner, colleagues will come to see you and your baby. ”

"Oh! Do I need to prepare anything? Ding Haixing immediately asked.

"What don't you need to prepare? They came to see us. Zhan Changsheng looked at her and said in a low and soft voice.

The two went out and sat down at the table, and the meal had been served to the table by Hongying, and the meal was served.

"Hurry up and eat!" Zhan Changsheng picked up his chopsticks and said.

Ding's mother picked up the chopsticks and said to herself, "Didn't this guy say that he would come back for dinner?" Why haven't you come back now? ”

"Mom, who's coming?" Zhan Changsheng asked casually.

"It's my uncle." Hongying smiled slightly, "Dad, my uncle also caught three crucian carp." ”

"Did my brother-in-law say what he did in the past?" Zhan Changsheng asked.

"After putting down the fish, I went to the library to do business, and I specially asked him to come back for dinner and then go back to the factory." Ding's mother frowned lightly and said worriedly.

"I'll look for it." Zhan Changsheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said.

"No, no, your colleagues have come to the door after eating, don't let people block our table, it's not good." Ding's mother pressed down and said, "Don't look for it, such a big person can still lose him, don't worry about safety in school, maybe you will be tripped by something." ”

Hongying put down her chopsticks and stood up and said, "I'll go find my uncle." ”

"Sit down, sit down, such a big person, you still need someone to find it for dinner!" Ding's mother pulled Hongying and sat down, "I'll keep him for food." Turning his gaze to Chang Shengdao, "Eat." ”

"Alright then!" Zhan Changsheng looked at Hongying and said, "Grandma let us eat." ”

The three of them ate slowly, and after eating, they quickly cleaned up the table. After packing up, people soon came to the door one after another.

Gao Jinshan was the first to knock on the door of the Zhan family, "Let's come to see the joy, congratulations to the old Zhan, and the noble son." ”

Having children is the greatest wish of a husband and wife, and it is also a great joy for a family. Therefore, in the people, women should say "happy" or "happy" when they are pregnant, "happy to be happy" when a baby is born, send birth information to relatives and friends to say "good news", and relatives and friends come to celebrate and say "see joy".

"Thank you!" Zhan Changsheng looked at their family of five and said, "Please come in." ”

"It's for siblings and babies." Fang Qiaoru handed the small basket to Zhan Changsheng, and placed it in the congratulatory gift.

"Thank you!" Zhan Changsheng took the small basket and gave it to Ding's mother and said, "Mom, you take it and put it away." ”

"Hmm!" Ding's mother took the basket and carried it.

"Auntie, congratulations, happy grandson." Gao Jinshan said with a smile.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, your son and daughter are also very good." Ding's mother actually picked it up and said nicely.

"Three leather monkeys, naughty and mischievous, it's really like fighting every day." Fang Qiaoru said humbly.

"Mom, Mom, I know it's hard for you to raise us." Gao Jianguo said with a smile, "I will be filial to you in the future." Pulling Fang Qiaoru and said, "Mom, let's go and see my brother, he is so chubby and cute." ”

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Zhan Changsheng smiled and said, "I'm just awake!" ”

"Really?" Fang Qiaoru said with a smile, "Let's go and see my brother." ”

Gao Jianguo saw Hongying and said reflexively, "I've taken a bath." ”

"Huh?" Hongying looked at him inexplicably.

"Can I touch my brother?" Gao Jianguo really itched.

Hongying suddenly said, "For the sake of you being so well-behaved, you can." ”

Fang Qiaoru was confused, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing?" Gao Jianguo pulled Fang Qiaoru and said, "Let's go in quickly." ”

Fang Qiaoru entered the bedroom with her three children.

Ding's mother took the basket into the kitchen, and looked at the basket with a piece of fabric, jujube red corduroy, two feet long, and ten eggs underneath.

Ding's mother looked at Hongying, who came in to pour water, and said, "Hongying, come back after pouring water, and remember the gift list." ”

"Uh-huh!" Hongying nodded busily.

After pouring the water, he went out with a teacup, put it in front of Gao Jinshan, and then went back to the kitchen, picked up the paper and pen hanging behind the door and wrote it down.

"Old war! Old War! ”

There are guests at home again, and Chang Chang wins and goes to greet him.

One by one, they came one after another, with gifts. Everyone coincidentally sent eggs, more than a dozen, all of which were kept by Ding's mother, looking at the more and more eggs in the basket, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile on her face.

Everything in the city is rationed, and eggs are also rationed, and this confinement needs a lot of eggs to make up for it, but Ding's mother is worried. The puzzle was solved in one fell swoop.

In the countryside you can raise a few more chickens, and then the eggs laid will be enough to replenish the confinement.

She wanted to let the family collect some eggs, but the road conditions, I'm afraid that the road will be bumpy all the way, and it is estimated that they will all be broken.

The men gathered in the living room, and the women went into the house to look at the baby and stuffed the child with a dime or two.

It has been more than an hour since the battle has been won and everyone has been sent away, and of course each family has a red egg in their hands when they leave.

In the kitchen, Ding's mother and Hongying are sorting out the gifts and gift lists that have been received.

"Fortunately, there are a lot of red eggs, otherwise, we would have made a fool of ourselves." Ding's mother patted her chest and said with palpitations.

"Why give red eggs!" Hongying asked curiously.

"You don't have the custom of giving red eggs anywhere." Ding's mother asked instead of answering.

"Yes, but no one told me why?" Red Ying asked in confusion with her big eyes.

"The happy egg that gives birth to a child is because red is the traditional festive color, and the egg is homophonic for "birthday". Therefore, after the baby is born, the parents of the baby will tell their relatives and friends the good news. Red eggs must be brought with you for the annunciation, that is, hard-boiled eggs are painted red. The color is made with edible dyeing. When guests come to the host's house to congratulate, the host sends happy eggs to share his joy with others to celebrate the birth of the child, and others eat the happy eggs to express their joy and blessings for the birth of the child. Ding's mother explained in detail, "It's like sticking a big red wedding letter on a wedding, festive and sharing joy." ”

"Oh!" Hongying looked at the few red eggs left, "I don't know if it's enough." ”

"When it comes to the number of happy eggs, they usually give six or nine." Ding's mother sighed, "Now this day, I can only mean it." ”

There is no way that the eggs are small, basically twelve eggs a catty, if six or nine give red eggs, you can't buy them just by buying, let alone sending them.

Hurriedly returning to the bedroom, Zhan Changsheng looked at their mother and son worriedly and said, "My son is not scared!" So many people came and went all of a sudden. Fortunately, he said, "Fortunately, there are many people on this day." ”

"No, everyone just looks at it from afar." Ding Haixing pointed to the little baby next to her and said, "Look at yourself and have fun!" ”
