A total of 12 dishes were made for the New Year's dinner at noon, which means that the moon is red, and except for semi-vegetarian dishes such as fried bacon with sharp peppers and fried kidney flowers with winter bamboo shoots, there is no vegetarian one, all meat dishes.

It's not because the living standards of rural people are too good and they have enough meat to eat, but because they usually eat less meat, so no matter how much meat they eat for this New Year's meal, their bodies can bear it.

Who is willing to eat so extravagantly?

That is, you can be presumptuous on this meal of the New Year.

Of course, so many dishes are not eaten in one meal, it is impossible, and the remaining dishes will be eaten for a few days.

There is no custom of eating dumplings during the New Year.

Before 12:00 p.m., the meal began, the table was set in the hall, the door was closed before eating, and then incense and candles were lit, and the dishes and chopsticks and wine were placed to pay tribute to the family god, that is, the ancestors.

A firecracker was placed near the door in the hall, and there was a crackling sound, and the smoke was immediately filled, and the smell was very choking.

Fortunately, the back door is still open, allowing the smoke to slowly dissipate.

Fang Hao has never been able to figure out why he set off firecrackers in the house, it is really too choking, and there is a certain danger.

But that's how he lived for as long as he could remember, as if to say that setting off firecrackers behind closed doors like this would not let the blessings flow out.

The back door is open, and the front door is closed, which is probably a meaning of entering but not leaving.

Anyway, it's feudal superstition.

After the firecrackers, the choking smoke did not have time to disperse, and began to kowtow to the ancestors.

He also prays when he kneels and kowtows.

You can say it out loud or you can't say it out loud.

For example, Fang's mother's prayer is pronounced:

"I beg my grandparents to bless Haozi to make a fortune and get married and have children smoothly next year. ”

Father Fang chattered:

"I pray that the family will be safe and sound. ”

Fang Hao also prayed, but he didn't say it.

I don't know, and it doesn't cost money anyway.

Ye Wenwen watched the family kowtow to their ancestors in turn, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and didn't know if she should also kowtow.

Go ahead, it's not suitable for those who have no name and no share, they are not married after all.

If you don't go, you will look like an outsider again.

But after all, I still didn't go.

If someone called her over, she would not refuse, no one called her, and she had no reason to be stupid to kneel and kowtow to other people's ancestors.

It was time to start eating, and the smoke in the house was almost gone, but it was not so unbearable.

Fang Hao went out to work after graduating from high school, and never came back for the New Year after that, this is the first time he went home for the New Year, and the whole family had a New Year's dinner together.

During the meal, Ye Wenwen received another compliment from Fang Hao's parents, of course, because the New Year's dinner she made tasted very good.

Although Ye Wenwen is not a professional chef, she often watches teaching videos to learn to do it, and her comprehension ability is quite strong.

She didn't understand the exaggerations very well, but she also knew that she was praising herself, listening with a smile, sometimes humbly, and her heart was still happy.

In this family, she is an outsider, but she really wants to integrate into this family, and she is also trying hard to try not to treat herself as an outsider.

After eating, despite the dissuasion, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Fang's mother.

After eating, the door opened, and the smoke of gunpowder in the room was completely dispersed.

Fang Hao and his father walked outside to breathe in the fresh air, and his father said to him, "This daughter-in-law you are looking for is very good." ”

Father Fang didn't have enough vocabulary to shoot rainbow farts, so he could only express his thoughts so simply.

As a parent, I don't care so much about whether my daughter-in-law is beautiful or not, what I care about is whether her character is good.

Of course, it's better to be pretty, at least to have face in front of your neighbors.

Ye Wenwen's performance still made them very satisfied.

"It's pretty good. Fang Hao also nodded.

"Have you seen her parents over there, can you talk?" asked Father Fang.

"Well, I've seen it twice, and it's pretty easy to talk. Fang Hao said.

"...... over there" Father Fang hesitated for a while, but still asked the most worried question, "How much does the bride price cost?"

"Bride price?"

Fang Hao was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I didn't say anything about it." ”

"Why don't you ask this clearly? Only after asking clearly can you prepare, save what you should save, borrow what you should borrow. Father Fang was anxious, "If people ask for a high bride price, you have no preparation here, what if you can't get married at that time?"

In the village, it is not uncommon for him to be dismantled because of the bride price.

Older people are most concerned about practical problems.

In layman's terms, it's a matter of money.

Originally, after building a house, there was still some money left in their hands, which exceeded the average price of this blind date market, and they had a certain confidence.

However, the first time I saw Ye Wenwen, I didn't have that confidence - because Ye Wenwen was very beautiful.

Now I find that Ye Wenwen is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality, and she also cooks good food, I heard that she is still an undergraduate, so she is even more unconfident.

There is no good goods in cheap, and good goods are not cheap, they still understand this truth.

This future daughter-in-law is so brilliant that it puts a lot of pressure on them.

Even if Ye Wenwen doesn't care about it, her parents may not care.

Who was not whipped by reality in that era? Who did not bow his head in the face of reality?

talked about borrowing money, which shows that Father Fang is very unconfident in his heart.

Fang Hao scratched his head and said, "There shouldn't be much of a problem, right? Her father died early, her mother had already remarried a few years ago, she is now alone, whether the bride price is not a bride price or not, it shouldn't be so important—isn't that the left hand handed over to the right hand?"

"So?"

Father Fang relieved his heart.

There's even a little bit of snickering.

But he felt that this was too unkind, so he sighed and said: "This child's life is very bitter, no wonder she is so sensible, you have to treat her well." ”

"That's that, that's. Fang Hao said.

In fact, there is still some weakness.

The main thing is to think of and Shan Rou.

Even if he finds more reasons for himself, he can clearly know that he is a scumbag, and he is an out-and-out scumbag in both the new and old societies.

Although Ye Wenwen seems to have accepted such a reality, it can't change the fact that he is a scumbag.

And more importantly, he is not just a scum now, but also a scumbag in the future, or even more scum in the future.
