On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ye followed Wen Leyu back to his parents' home.

As soon as the family entered the door, Xiao Dou'er ran in excitedly and kowtowed to Teacher Ke.

"Happy Chinese New Year, grandma."

Xiao Baoer followed closely, lying on the ground and started kowtowing, his little head hit the ground, making a sound of Bangbang.

Then the two little guys raised their heads and looked at Teacher Ke with a eager look.

,

Teacher Ke blinked and realized that he was waiting for his New Year’s money!

She quickly took out the New Year's money and gave it to the two children, and said with a smile: "It's just a New Year's greeting. Is it so real? I'll break my little head, but I'm not smart."

"Thank you grandma, thank you grandma."

Xiao Dou'er first took the New Year's money and said seriously: "My father said that kowtow is a cultural heritage,

If you want to, just knock it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t, but since you have to be sincere.”

Teacher Ke laughed and teased at Li Ye, "Li Ye, sometimes I really can't understand you. Your thoughts are sometimes far more radical than us old guys, but sometimes they are more conservative than those old antiques."

Li Ye smiled indifferently and said, "Mom, it's just a traditional custom of celebrating the New Year, there is nothing conservative or unconservative."

Teacher Ke said with some meaning: "The times are developing. Some things that are not suitable for the times will sooner or later be abandoned by the times. Some dispensable traditions do not need to be so persistent."

People like Teacher Ke will not kowtow, so she does not agree with Li Ye’s parenting methods.

Li Ye nodded and said, "Maybe when Xiao Dou'er's generation grows up, these customs will be gone."

In the 1980s, many people thought that the tradition of kowtow would disappear soon, but they never thought that in decades,

Many places in Dongshan Province have preserved this tradition.

Some people say that kowtowing is a feudal habit that should be abandoned, but the tradition passed down by the flower planters for thousands of years.

Is it really useless dregs?

Actually, it is not. Anyone who participates in the scene of worshiping ancestors on the first day of the Lunar New Year in Dongshan Province can feel personal identification with the family.

The cohesion of clans in the north is actually weaker than that of the south. They are using this form to strengthen the connection between blood clans and try to maintain the cohesion of clans.

This cohesion seems to have no effect in normal times, but when it is really useful, it may affect your life.

For example, if a child is admitted to a good university but cannot afford to go to school due to poverty, even if the people in the family are scolding and complaining, they will raise money to let him go to school.

But if you have been away from your family for a long time and don’t interact with each other during the wedding and wedding, it’s really a difficult time.

What kind of aunts, sisters, sisters, five, and eight uncles, are only good at reading your jokes and will never help.

So in that era when social relations were becoming increasingly "atomized" decades later, the customs of Dongshan Province,

Instead, it became the last persistence of clan affection.

Li Ye chatted with Teacher Ke for a few words, but Xiao Baoer and Xiao Dou'er were in trouble.

After Xiao Baoer got the New Year's money, he instinctively looked at Wen Leyu, but was immediately kicked by his sister Xiao Douer.

Xiao Baoer quickly lowered her head and followed her sister away. The look of not daring to make Li Ye laugh.

Wen Leyu's mouth had already curled up, and he watched Xiao Baoer perform with a smile.

Just yesterday, Xiao Baoer gave it to Wen Leyu after getting the New Year’s money, but why did she change her mind today?

It was obviously coerced by Xiao Dou'er, the little bully!

Xiao Dou'er has been more at ease than her brother since she was a child and walks earlier than her brother. She must be stronger than her brother's body when she runs around all day. It would be too easy to bully Xiao Baoer when there is no one.

But Xiao Dou'er ran around grandma's house as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Grandma, why didn't my little cousin come?"

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "Your little cousin has gone to her grandma's house! At least it will take the afternoon to come!"

"At least? What kind of horse is riding? Are you running fast with four legs?"

"Hahahaha~"

Teacher Ke was amused by this weird granddaughter.

But Wen Leyu said, "Mom, don't be confused by her, she is secretly hiding New Year's money!"

"Um?"

Teacher Ke received a reminder from Wen Leyu, so he called his two grandchildren over and found that the New Year's money he had just given to the two children was indeed no longer with them.

Teacher Ke said in surprise: "Xiao Dou'er, I lost the New Year's money I just gave you so soon?"

After all, Xiao Dou'er is still too young, so she is not a match for Teacher Ke.

She stared at Teacher Ke blankly, her two shiny big eyes blinking, as if showing off her long eyelashes to her grandma.

A few seconds later, Xiao Dou'er suddenly climbed onto the sofa and leaned into Teacher Ke's ear and whispered: "Grandma, I'll keep the money under your bed. From now on, I'll buy wine and candy for you...::

Teacher Ke narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Can we eat the candy we bought together?"

Xiao Dou'er nodded vigorously: "Well, my grandfather also eats it."

"Yeah, your grandpa still has a share! Then why do you want to keep the money here?"

Teacher Ke asked while looking at Wen Leyu, which meant "Why doesn't this child believe in you, mother?"

As a result, Xiao Douer replied in seconds: "Because grandma, you are the biggest at home and are not greedy for children's pocket money."

"Hahahaha~"

Teacher Ke laughed happily.

People like her may not have laughed like this once in a few months, but now they are laughing very happily.

Why do adults make it easier to laugh when they are with their children? Because the laugh points the children say,

It is always unexpected, and the joke in the sketch is the designed smile.

Moreover, adults can see through the child's thoughts at a glance, and there is no need to plot against each other, and there is no pressure to laugh.

After Teacher Ke finished laughing, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart and continued to ask, "Xiao Dou'er, who is the biggest in your family?"

Xiao Dou'er said without hesitation: "My grandma is the biggest."

Teacher Ke narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Who is your mother or your father?"

Xiao Dou'er curled her lips and said, "My mother is the second largest in the family, and my dad is the youngest."

"Puff l~"

Wen Leyu laughed and didn't forget to look at Li Ye.

"See it! You love your daughter the most, but you end up falling into a mess. Are you excited?"

"Ha~"

Li Ye chuckled lightly, not angry.

It's a daughter slave! It's normal.

However, Teacher Ke's face became more correct.

Xiao Dou'er's words reflect two problems.

First, Wen Leyu is quite popular in her mother-in-law's house. After all, she has grandpa, grandma, father-in-law, and a few sister-in-law at home, but she can rank as the "second largest".

Teacher Ke doesn’t think Wen Leyu should rank first, otherwise Pan Xiaoying would be bigger than her when she arrived at Wen’s house?

But it is abnormal for Li Ye to make a living.

So Teacher Ke pushed Xiao Baoer and Xiao Douer to Wen Qingsheng: "Go and see the toys your grandfather prepared for you, then go and see your grandfather's wine, choose a bottle and take it for your father to drink...\n."

"Okay, I know Maotai and Wuliangye."

Xiao Dou'er followed Wen Qingsheng excitedly.

Teacher Ke turned his head and said seriously: "Xiaoyu, don't be too arrogant at home in the future. Pay attention to maintaining Li Ye's parental image. Children are very sensitive. If they form an illusion, it will be difficult to correct it.

Never let your children get younger than their fathers. Let them know their father’s efforts and greatness. This is an important foundation for family harmony. How can Li Ye be the last one at home? He is the biggest!"

Wen Leyu also began to blink like Xiao Dou'er just now, blinking and glanced at Wen Qingsheng.

Of course, the child is very sensitive, otherwise how can he tell who is "bigger" between Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke!

You should know that in the Wen family, Wen Qingsheng is not the "boss", and Teacher Ke is the one who is talking about it.

When Teacher Ke saw Wen Leyu's eyes, he was angry and laughed. He reached out and poked his daughter and said, "Your father usually gives in to me, but think about it, is he an old man at home?"

Wen Leyu Yiyi thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered the past days.

At that time, she and her mother were in Qingshui County and could not see Wen Qingsheng all day long. The ideas that Teacher Ke instilled in her on weekdays were all Wen Qingsheng, the head of the family, worked hard to persevere in the north for the hope of the family.

Even if Teacher Ke is now a little higher than Wen Qingsheng in his position, no matter whether Wen Leyu and Wen Qingsheng really tell me who is the "head of the household" in the family, the brother and sister will naturally choose Wen Qingsheng.

This is the face that Teacher Ke protects for the masters in the family.

But Wen Leyu still felt a little wronged.
