Chapter 107: Chinese New Year's Eve

In the last few days of the end of the old year, even the third old man Chen Jinchang, who had been doing some business outside, rushed back from the field in time, and since then the family has really reunited, and the mansion has become more and more lively. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and the Chen family opened an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

The eldest lord Chen Jin Yang officiated, and the third lord Chen Jin often accompanied the sacrifice.

I heard one person shouting, "The auspicious time has come," and the sound of ritual music suddenly rose, and the children of the clan were all dressed neatly, with solemn faces, and saluted to the ancestral god with the main priest. Three offerings, incense worship, burning blessings, turning treasures, ceremonial finishes, the people go out from the east gate in order of generation. Later, he followed the old lady to the main hall, and the eldest lady Liao personally presided over the ceremony of holding the vegetables and offering them, and I will not repeat them here.

It was only said that Su Jinchen could not serve in front of him during the sacrifice because the water arrived early a few days ago, but he stole a day of leisure.

Outside, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers...... The yard was hung with bright red silk, and the little girls were happily busy in and out, laughing endlessly, and everyone's faces were beaming.

Rao is Su Jinchen's temperament is a little cold, and at this time, he can't help but be infected by the strong New Year's flavor in the house, so he enthusiastically asked the girl to go to the kitchen to ask for a pot, and took four or five little girls ranging from eight or nine years old to twelve or thirteen years old to brush the hot pot and eat together.

Cabbage, tofu, lotus root, oily bean skin, radish, corn, and thinly sliced pork, beef and mutton...... The bottom of the pot is made of spicy soup made of butter and mandarin ducks made of light health soup, everyone sits around the steaming hot pot and eats sweaty, and their hearts are warm.

Su Jinchen didn't eat very spicy, but he could see that he was alone on one side of the clear water pot, and he didn't feel a little tasteless, so he wanted to have a good time with the big guy, so he picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of mutton in the spicy soup. I didn't want the chopsticks to just enter the mouth, and the sudden spicy choked her into tears, and the little girls couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and hurriedly poured a glass of green plum wine for her to relieve the spicy. The taste of this green plum wine is mellow and soft, not only is it not bitter and bitter, but sweet and sour, it is very refreshing, Su Jinchen just drank it, and he felt that there was a faint warmth flowing from all his internal organs, and his body was extremely comfortable, not only drank the whole cup, but also still felt unfinished, and let the girl pour several glasses in a row, and drank it like a glow, and a pair of big black eyes became more and more clear and bright like black gems.

"It's a pity that Sister Zhilan's house went, otherwise we would be even more lively." Eleven-year-old Qian'er bit her chopsticks and said with regret.

"That's it," Ah Ru, who was the same age as her, just stuffed a large mouthful of cabbage into her mouth, and immediately nodded vaguely when she heard her words, "In previous years, at this time, Sister Zhilan would sneak back and take us to put flowers!" ”

"What's so difficult about this," Su Jinchen's face turned red, and he smiled with a little drunkenness, "If you like it, let's go to the yard after eating later!" ”

When the little girls heard this, they all suddenly came to their senses, their eyes were shining, and they were so excited that they couldn't even eat the hot pot, so they pulled her out and wanted to go out.

"What's the hurry! It's still a long night! Hurry up and sit down and eat! Ye Er frowned and knocked on the edge of the bowl like a little adult, and said seriously.

A few young people were immediately frightened, looked at her fearfully, and then looked at Su Jinchen who was smiling.

Su Jinchen nodded gently, "Your sister Ye'er is right...... You have to eat a full meal first, and then you can have the strength to play later. ”

The girls obediently answered, and hurriedly scooped up the vegetables and meat in the pot.

Thick white smoke kept coming out of the hot pot, and Ye'er's urging voice sounded in his ears, "Hurry up and fish out the oil bean skin, if you don't fish it out, it will be broken into slag!" ”

"Oooooooooooo The little girl was busy and hurriedly took a spoon to fish.

Su Jinchen listened quietly and silently sipped the green plum wine in the cup.

If only I could spend every day like this without worries...... How nice it would be.

………………………………

After everyone's efforts, all the things in the pot were finally eaten, and the little girls had round stomachs.

Su Jinchen didn't break his promise, packed up his things and led them to the yard to set off fireworks.

The grandmother who stayed in Jingzizhai to guard the door was drinking in the house, and when she heard the little girl chattering outside, she couldn't help but come out to check, and saw that Su Jinchen was holding a cigarette in her hand and was lighting a fire, so she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to persuade, "Why is the girl also naughty with their children?" This fireworks are not comparable to the others, and if they are injured, it will be terrible...... Let's go play in the house, girl. "A few days ago, she heard from the housekeeper that the second lady ordered Ruoxun to be the second young master's room. Seeing that the second young master's arm was gradually getting bigger...... There's nothing wrong with this joint.

Su Jinchen was originally a little drunk inside, but when the wind blew at this time, he became more and more up, where could he still listen to these things, so he smiled disapprerovingly, and said with a blurred gaze, "I'll accompany them to put a few and go back, it's not in the way." ”

The grandmother laughed twice and couldn't persuade again, so she just stood by with her hands in front of her.

Su Jinchen stepped forward cautiously.

…… Speaking of which, this is the first time she has set off fireworks.

In the past, whenever the Su family had such a festival, she either stood silently in the corner to watch others be lively, or was sent back to the room early, and she was always the most inconspicuous existence.

At that time, she had envied Su Jinyan a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart.

Even now, she can clearly remember when her father taught her second sister how to light firecrackers. With a warm smile, my father half-crouched on the ground and said words of encouragement. Su Jinyan wore a bright red cloak that day, as delicate as fireworks blooming in the sky......

At that time, she was still naΓ―ve to think: maybe one day, her father would hold her so dotingly and talk to her so gently and patiently......

Su Jinchen thought in a trance, many years in the past seemed to have flashed by in this short moment.

She leaned over slightly, trying to light the core on the fireworks.

One big palm suddenly hugged her waist behind him, and the other palm covered her hand holding incense.

Su Jinchen was startled, his body trembled, and he subconsciously looked sideways.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When did you come back? She looked at the handsome face close to her cheek, her heart couldn't help beating a few beats faster, and she hurriedly turned her face slightly sideways, and there was suddenly more distance between the two.

"Just when you walked over." He smiled, "What's wrong, are you scared?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A little. Su Jinchen nodded honestly, "I used to ...... Didn't let it go. ”

"Don't be afraid," he gently grasped her hand forward, and smiled softly, "I'll teach you." (To be continued.) )
