98. Chapter 98
The old bottom of Hangzhou people eat "ten bowls of heads" for the New Year, from the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, including yuan treasure fish, yuan wrapped meat, white chopped chicken, easter eggs, warm pot, eight treasure vegetables, ruyi vegetables, longevity fruit, lotus root, bean paste spring rolls, etc.
Mrs. Su was exquisitely crafted, standing with a pair of small feet, holding the spoon unhurriedly, and a table of delicacies was spread.
There are more people in the family than in previous years, and there is a big strong man like Carlos, so the weight is naturally sufficient, and the old lady stayed up for a long time to wait for the time of reunion, so she naturally wants to show her skills, Su Qingjia followed behind her and helped hand over a condiment or something.
Mrs. Su used to be a rich lady, and doing a family banquet was a necessary condition for considering the quality of the girl, but then the days were not so smooth, so she used these exquisite thoughts, in the era of shortage of ingredients, busy with food at home, in Su Jingkang's memory, no matter how many splendid state banquet treasures, it is not as delicious as a bowl of sour plum soup, and the strong fragrance of a sauced duck.
"The lotus root should be cut a little thicker, so that it will not be easy to crack when you put things." Mrs. Su stacked the ingots, sprinkled some green onions, and served them with red peppers, the color was extremely beautiful, and she guided Su Qingjia to make lotus root while arranging the plate.
The little golden retriever was also helping in the kitchen, but he was too tall and had long legs, so he took up a lot of space whether he stood up or squatted down, and was led out by the old man to set up tables, chairs, and chopsticks.
Su Jingkang took Mingling to dig the soil under the ginkgo tree in the backyard, and there was a vat of the old lady's daughter red buried ten years ago, the old man was greedy for a long time, and he didn't dare to do it, until today, he was looking forward to the end, and he was happy in his heart, and even his attitude towards Carlos was a lot gentler.
The night is deep blue, the alleys are lit up with colorful lights, the stars are twinkling, and every house has warm laughter.
All the dishes were on the table, and the old man held the cleaned wine jar for a long time, and was said by the old lady for a few words, so he reluctantly put it on the side, and hummed at the old lady: "I don't want to make drunk crabs this year, and I finally waited for half a year to drink a glass of wine, and I was so verbose, it was really old and old, and it was not taken seriously." ”
The little golden retriever was a little confused, so he tilted his head and whispered: "But I saw my grandfather drinking in the yard at night yesterday...... Hmm-"
Su Qingjia hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "He doesn't sleep well at night, he likes to dream, haha." ”
The little golden retriever received her look, obediently covered his mouth, and nodded.
"Hmph." Old Man Su stopped bullying him, and continued to look at the wine jar babyishly and chattered, "Today is a good day, drink more, you can't live up to it." ”
Su Jingkang lit a firecracker at the door, pulled Mingling and trotted back, the sound of "crackling" made the little golden retriever very novel, and Su Qingjia explained to him beside him.
Around the table, Ming Ling went to get a small stove to simmer wine, and after simmering, Mrs. Su poured a glass for all the gentlemen on the table, and Old Man Su was the least.
Carlos didn't drink anything, he didn't drink it when the team was celebrating or partying, if he really couldn't, he just took a small sip of beer, and now, the old lady made him a large glass, the orange liquid was transparent and bright, and the rich fragrance became stronger and stronger with the passage of time.
"Will you drink?" Su Qingjia bit his ear and asked in a whisper.
Carlos frowned and nodded, "Give it a try." ”
He looked very entangled, his thick eyebrows were almost glued together, Su Qingjia chuckled: "Don't be cowardly, my grandfather hopes that his grandson-in-law can often drink a few drinks with him in the future, if you pour it, you may be eliminated." ”
Carlos glanced at Old Man Su's demeanor twice, and saw that he was very satisfied with the wine, and he was apprehensive, but he still took a deep breath and picked up the wine glass: "I will work hard." ”
After drinking a drink, he made it like going to the battlefield, and Su Qingjia put a piece of lotus root into his bowl: "Comrade, it's time for you to watch Xiàn." The chief is waiting for you to come back victoriously. She raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling.
Carlos hadn't drunk yet, but he felt like he was drunk.
Old Man Su is the head of the family, holding a wine glass and saying some summaries of the past year and expectations for the coming year, and finally looked at the two juniors sitting together, and said: "I know that you have been together for a long time, and Qingjia often talks to us about you when he comes back, you are a good person, put aside the subjective factor, as an independent person, you have done a good job, but today, I still want to say something." ”
Carlos stood up and listened respectfully.
"Sit down, don't be so nervous." Old Madam Su waved her hand.
Carlos glanced at Su Qingjia and saw her nodding, so he sat down with his back straight.
Old Man Su also noticed his small movements, and said: "Although Qingjia has not been by our side all these years, her parents were busy with work when she was a child, and I am her enlightened teacher, although she is squeamish and a little temperamental, but in the end, she has a good temperament and is a good girl, I think you also know." ”
Carlos nodded, so nervous that Su Qingjia quietly reached over and held him.
Her hands were warm and soft, and he gently clasped her fingers.
"Qingjia can bring you back, which means that she has recognized you, and they also think you are good." Old Man Su looked at Su Jingkang and his wife, and continued, "As an elder, I don't ask my granddaughter to live a rich life, nor do I ask what kind of honor she can bring to the family, I only have one hope, and this is also a requirement for you." I just want my granddaughter to be carefree for the rest of her life, can you do that? ”
Carlos clenched Su Qingjia's hand, glanced at her, and said, "I can." ”
"Okay, I'll do it first." Old Man Su drank the wine down, "I know that this requirement is very simple, but also difficult, the future days will be the two of you, and I can't control much, but I put my words here, Qingjia, grandpa will always support you." ”
Carlos suddenly gained courage, he picked up the wine glass in his right hand, took a sip, his fair face was a little red, and said, "Thank you, grandpa." I don't know how to speak, and I often say the wrong thing, I know that I am certainly not what you expect Qingjia's husband to be, except for speaking Chinese, I have no hand, but here, I also solemnly promise you that I will make Qingjia happy. ”
He said loudly, and after a pause for a few seconds, Old Man Su clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, this is how you should be!" Come on, full on full! ”
Mrs. Su gave him a blank look, but still poured wine, "Don't just patronize drinking, eat some food, what you do today is what you like to eat." ”
The three men of different generations nodded, drinking and eating a mouthful of wine and vegetables, and the sound of the countdown sounded little by little.
In the second half of the night, this meaningful Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was over, and Old Man Su held the wine glass and squinted his eyes groggily: "Green ant new roasted wine, forehead, red mud, forehead, small stove, late to snow, well, no snow, can you drink a cup of nothing?" Jingkang, drink, and that kid, drink. ”
Thanks to Su Jingkang's perennial communication, he was not drunk, so he moved the old man into the room with Carlos and dragged him to the bed.
It was already late, and everyone was more or less tired, so Su Qingjia volunteered to clean up the mess and let the others rest. Carlos didn't want to go, so she waited, cleaned up the messy dining table, Su Qingjia washed her hands, and walked towards Carlos, who was waiting for her at the kitchen door.
"I don't think you're drinking a lot, are you? I didn't get drunk after drinking so much. Su Qingjia poked his dimples, and under the light, his blonde hair seemed to be jumping with diamonds, and the posture of standing at the door waiting for her made her heart warm.
Carlos felt the coldness in her hands, grabbed her hand and put it in his clothes, and directly warmed her with her body temperature: "Well, I'm not drunk." I'm going to wait for you, Bella, did you touch my tattoo? ”
He was a little incoherent, and Su Qingjia was also excited, leaning on his arms and saying, "Well, I touched it, it's very hot, you are very good today, what reward do you want?" ”
Carlos rubbed happily, resting his head on her head, and said, "I think about it, I'll think about it first." You wait a minute, I'll figure it out. ”
Sticking so close, Su Qingjia obviously felt the heat of his lower body, which was even hotter than the tattoo on his chest, she was a little embarrassed, poked his chest and said, "You think about it quickly, I'm going to sleep." ”
Feeling that the girl in his arms was going to run out, Carlos hugged him a little tighter, and he said childishly: "Think about it, don't go." ”
"What do you want?" Su Qingjia asked.
There was a smile from above his head, and he twisted his body and said, "Hehe, let's sleep together, okay?" I want this reward. ”
Su Qingjia's cheeks were crimson, and he hammered him and said, "It's not good, it's not good at all, it's going to be inch." Change one. ”
Carlos snorted and chirped on her, silent for a while, and then he suddenly lowered his head and let go of her, his eyes lit up.
"Got it figured?"
"Uh-huh." Carlos leaned into her ear, "Why don't you help me pluck the turnips?" ”
Su Qingjia's face turned red completely.
Pulling turnips......
Pulling turnips......
Pulling turnips......
She glanced at his lower body with embarrassment, where a large tent had bulged out, and it was about to burst his suit pants.
Carlos seemed to be quite happy, rubbing her from time to time, "Let's pluck the turnips, don't refuse." ”
Su Qingjia didn't dare to move, and said, "I'...... Not suitable, we, wait, I'm not ready ......"
Carlos said excitedly: "It's okay, I'm ready, it's just right now, Bella, come on, come on." ”
Su Qingjia wanted to get rid of him, but found that his hands and feet were a little weak, and he was a little impulsive in his heart.
The others had already fallen asleep, and Su Qingjia suddenly felt some forbidden temptation waiting for her to break out of the cage.
She bit her lip, her eyes sparkling, like spring peach blossoms being wet by the rain, and she took a breath, she slowly pulled her hand off his chest, and finally poked out her clothes......
The light was soft and just right, and in the shadows of their corners, the rich scent of their daughter's red lingered. She saw his hair wrapped around his fingers, and he smiled brightly, as if he was expecting a big adventure.
Su Qingjia's heart was beating fast, and the sound of the two of them could be heard breathing in the silent space, he looked at her without blinking, and then firmly held her hand......
