On the first day of the new year, Gu Jian saw Xiao Mo Reng and Dao Zi wearing the same red robes. From a distance, they looked like brothers, and he immediately laughed out loud: "You two look like brothers."

."

Xiao Yeyang, who was a step behind and helped Daohua into the house, smiled and said: "They are brothers to begin with."

Daozi nodded seriously: "That's right."

Xiao Mozheng didn't say anything, but his eyes and mouth were full of smiles. He liked Uncle and Aunt Wang's attitude of not treating him as an outsider.

Not long after, the maids came over carrying hot rice dumplings made with fermented rice.

When Daazi saw it, he couldn't help but want to show off, and ran to help: "Old ancestor, I will serve you glutinous rice balls to eat."

Daohua had a big belly and had difficulty moving. Just when she was about to stop her, she saw that her son had already reached out to hold the porcelain bowl filled with glutinous rice balls.

"Clang~"

The porcelain bowl was too hot. Dazai couldn't hold it back and dropped the bowl to the ground.

Breaking something on the first day of the new year is not a good sign. The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Daozi knew that she had done something wrong and looked at Daohua carefully.

Gu Jian originally wanted to comfort Dao Zi, but with his apprentice here, he and Xiao Yeyang had a tacit understanding and chose to shut up.

Xiao Mozhen was worried that Daozi would be scolded, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Auntie, it's all my fault. I didn't pull the rice well."

Daohua smiled and said, "What does this have to do with you." After saying that, she looked at her son pretending to be quail, without scolding or comforting, "You threw the bowl, what should you do now?"

Seeing that Daohua was not angry, Daozi patted his chest in relief. Thinking of what his mother usually taught him, just find a way to solve the problem when he encountered it. He smiled and looked at the kneeling maid: "Get up, this is not strange.

You, please clean up quickly."

As he said that, he lowered his head to look at his shoes that were wet with soup, and looked at Daohua, "Mom, my shoes are wet. I have to get a new pair. You guys eat first, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he ran out of the house.

Xiao Moreng saw it and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Daohua.

"Okay, don't worry about him. Sit down and eat the glutinous rice balls. They won't taste good when they're cold. There's a wet nurse following you over there in Daozhi. Everything will be fine."

Seeing his ancestor and Uncle Wang starting to eat, Xiao Mozhen had no choice but to pick up the spoon.

It didn’t take long for the rice to run back.

"Mom, I've changed my shoes."

Daohua said "hmm" and pulled up the stool, indicating to Daozi to sit down and eat.

After Daozi sat down, he looked at the people at the dinner table, and finally chose to apologize: "Mom, I was wrong."

Daohua turned to look at Daozi: "What's wrong?" It's a trivial matter for a child to drop a bowl, but his son took the initiative to admit his mistake and didn't take the opportunity to teach him something.

Dao Zi: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I broke the bowl, which is unlucky."

Daohua shook her head: "It's just a small thing to throw a bowl, and it's not unlucky."

Gu Jian quickly answered: "Yes, yes, it's not unlucky. Our family will always be smooth." As an old man, he is still very taboo about some things.

Xiao Yeyang didn't care about this and looked at his son and his mother Zhou Xuan with a smile.

Dao Zi's eyes lit up: "Really? Then our family won't have to be unlucky?"

Daohua looked surprised: "Who said we would be unlucky?"

Daozi: "I heard from the kitchen woman before that you shouldn't break things during the New Year, otherwise you will be unlucky."

Daohua didn't want her son to remember this bad hint: "That's what she said. You broke the bowl. This is broken peace."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang looked over: "Shaishan Ping An... your explanation is quite good."

Gu Jian nodded: "Yes, you will be safe every year, and our family will always be fine."

Seeing that his parents and ancestors didn't blame him, Daazi felt completely at ease and happily picked up the spoon and prepared to eat glutinous rice balls.

Daohua spoke again: "Smashing the bowl is a trivial matter, but today you were indeed wrong. Your mistake was that you overestimated your capabilities."

Daazi pouted and lowered his head.

Daohua continued: "When you look at the small bowl, you feel that you can handle it, but you don't know that the bowl is very hot. When you see the maids carrying it easily, you feel that you can do it, but what about the reality?"

"Your hands are tender and can't withstand the high temperature, and you don't know how to hold a bowl, so you dropped the bowl in one fell swoop."

"Just like you were hanging lanterns a few days ago. You saw the boys hanging them easily, but in fact it was not as easy as you imagined. Didn't you still complain that your arms were sore when you went to bed at night?"

"When we do things, we must see the essence of the matter clearly and know how capable we are. Don't be impulsive and try to be strong. We must act within our capabilities."

After saying that, I scooped a glutinous rice ball into the rice bowl.

Daozi knew that her mother was trying to comfort herself, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said loudly: "Mom, I understand, I will think twice before I act in the future."

Daohua smiled: "Eat quickly."

With a smile on her face, Dao Zi scooped up the dumplings given to her by Dao Hua and ate them. Then she let out a "yeah" sound and said in surprise: "Mom, I got a gold ingot, and I will be lucky again this year."

As he said that, he scooped up a small golden ingot as big as his thumb and showed it to Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian.

Gu Jian said with a smile: "We rice are going to be lucky."

"Ancestor, hurry up and eat. Maybe you will be able to eat Yuanbao soon."

"Okay, okay, my ancestors will eat it now."

Seeing the rice dumplings happily being eaten and Uncle Wang's family chatting and laughing happily, Xiao Moreng breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter of throwing bowls is over.

Throwing a bowl on New Year's Day is not a big deal, but if it were left in Beijing, many people would be concerned about it.

Xiao Mozhen couldn't help but imagine that if he broke the bowl, his father and mother would most likely blame him.

His father, the king, and his mother had high expectations for him, and they had always been very strict with him, requiring him to do everything to perfection. He rarely had the opportunity to express his opinions.

Before this, he didn't think anything of it, after all, other cousins ​​lived like this.

But after arriving at Uncle Wang's house, he watched his aunt teach Daozi and felt the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of Uncle Wang's house. He felt that this was the feeling of home.

"Fourth brother, have you eaten the ingot?"

Just when Xiao Mo was lost in thought, Dao Zi asked him.

Xiao Mo Reng quickly took a bite of glutinous rice balls, and then slowly spit out a small golden ingot under Dao Zi's direct gaze.

Seeing that Xiao Moreng also ate the ingot, Daozi immediately grinned: "That's great. We are all going to have good luck this year. I'm so happy. Fourth brother, are you happy?"

Xiao Moreng: "...happy!"

Daozi said again: "Fourth brother, let's go set off the firecrackers later."

Xiao Moreng quickly looked at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "If you want to play, go and play. I will let Defu and Deshou follow you. Be careful when playing with firecrackers. Don't hurt yourself, otherwise you won't be able to play next time."

Dao Zi: "Oh, Dad, we understand. We are not children anymore and we won't hurt ourselves."
