Chapter 162: Chinese New Year
Although he didn't do any heavy physical work normally, he had enough sleep. However, after staying in bed for a while, Wen Xia felt that all his energy had recovered.
Hearing the sound of someone walking outside the house, Wen Xia got up and simply cleaned up herself, and walked out of the house.
Although there was no work to do on New Year's Eve, Wen Xia and Qin Jinyan were not idle either.
They first helped Wen Yulan prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. Then, Wen Xia and his family boiled several pots of hot water, and the four of them took a shower. It seemed that the bad luck of the year disappeared with the poured bath water.
After doing this, Wen Xia and Qin Jinyan, who were staying in the room, looked at each other. Suddenly, they felt that they had nothing to do.
Qin Jinyan hesitated for a moment and found it from the house. Before he moved out of the village, he went to say goodbye to the private school teacher. The private school teacher gave him the go and said to Wen Xia: "Sister, why don't I teach you how to play chess?"
Seeing the Go that Qin Jinyan took out, Wen Xia's face suddenly showed a somewhat terrified expression.
When she was in modern times, she also learned Go after the trend for a while.
However, it only took one week from getting started to giving up.
Perhaps it was because I gave up too quickly, and the memory of learning chess was too painful. As a result, Wen Xia had almost forgotten the rules of Go for so long.
If you want Wen Xia to learn from scratch, it would be better to kill her.
Seeing Wen Xia's resistant look, Qin Jinyan knew that Wen Xia was not interested in this entertainment activity.
But in this era, there are not many things that can be used for entertainment. If Qin Jinyan didn't play Go, he wouldn't have thought of what he could do for a moment.
On the contrary, Wen Xia looked at the Go that was placed on the table by Qin Jinyan and said to him: "Erwa, why don't we play Goji?"
"What is Gozi chess?" Qin Jinyan knew that his sister could always come up with many wonderful ideas in her head.
Qin Jinyan was a little curious when he heard her words.
Seeing Qin Jinyan's confusion look, Wen Xia explained to him.
After listening to Wen Xia's explanation, Qin Jinyan was indeed a little curious and nodded very happily, agreeing to play Goji with Wen Xia for a while.
However, Wen Xia was not particularly interested in chess games. Qin Jinyan was used to playing Go and suddenly asked him to play Goji, which made him feel a little awkward.
So, after playing for a while, the siblings felt a little boring again.
Seeing Qin Jinyan's bored look, Wen Xia suddenly had inspiration and said to him: "Erwa, I remember that there is a very large wooden board in our utility room that I brought back before. You go and take that wooden board over. I have a novel game here. I will make it later and let the two of us play together."
Qin Jinyan's curiosity was once again aroused by Wen Xia's novelty.
He hurriedly stood up from the chair and said to Wen Xia, "Okay, sister, I'll go over and get it right away, wait for me for a while."
When Qin Jinyan walked to the door, Wen Xia raised her voice again and said to him: "Also, don't forget to bring you the ink that you don't often use from your room. I have to spend some things."
Qin Jinyan's movements were very fast. Soon, he took the wooden board that Wen Xia said. After putting the things on the table, he quickly left the place. He returned to his room and took the brush and ink over.
What Wen Xia is going to do this time is a tabletop game that imitates Monopoly.
In the era when Wenxia lived, the entertainment industry was very developed. There are a wide variety of board games and escape rooms.
As a grandma master who stays at home most of the time, Wen Xia likes to play these games when she is free, and is still familiar with board games.
Considering that this era is not as free as later generations, Wen Xia made it a simple version of Monopoly.
The rules are not as complicated as Monopoly, and the map is limited to their small town.
Although it is a simple version, it is enough to amazed Qin Jinyan, who has never been involved in this kind of game before.
In this way, the two of them sat in the main hall and spent a small day with this board game.
When it was time to make dinner, the siblings and brothers reluctantly put down the game. They ran to the kitchen to help Wen Yulan and prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
They had already done some preparations this morning. The only thing they didn't have was the dumplings they ate on New Year's Eve in the evening.
Qin Jinyan is a top student. No matter what he learns, he is quick to learn. Even some home-cooked dishes are not difficult for him to learn.
But they were just making dumplings without any talent. After making more than a dozen strange-shaped dumplings, Wen Yulan and Wen Xia deprived Qin Jinyan of the qualification to make dumplings. They rushed to the side and were responsible for setting up the dumplings they had made.
When the dumpling skin was about to be used up, Qin Jinyan took it out and had prepared peanuts and beans that had been prepared long ago, wrapped them in two dumplings to get some fun.
Before we were separated, Zhou Dahua was particularly unethical. When making dumplings every year, he placed the dumplings with peanut beans and beans on a tray. When cooking dumplings, he also cooked them in two pots.
Qin Erzhu and his family, as well as the women in the family, could only eat dumplings without peanuts.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, Qin Jinyan was very envious when he saw his cousins at home.
Therefore, after seeing Wen Yulan's actions, Qin Jinyan looked eager and looked at the two dumplings with peanut beans. When placing them, they were specially placed on the outside.
If Wen Yulan hadn't been staring at him all the time, Qin Jinyan might have even started to do it and mark the two dumplings.
Unfortunately, no matter how tight Qin Jinyan was watching, after these dumplings were put into the pot, they all mixed together. I couldn't recognize which dumplings had peanut beans.
Until the New Year’s Eve dinner was brought to the table, Qin Jinyan was still thinking about the two dumplings he had stared at before.
