Chapter 305: Where My Fathers Lived

New Year's greetings have always been a traditional Chinese folk custom, generally speaking, it refers to the New Year's greetings to the elders of the family and to visit relatives everywhere, which is a form of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the correct time to greet the New Year should be after the Chinese New Year's Eve turn, this time the new year has come, everyone congratulates each other, and earlier than the turn point belongs to the early year, and this time the New Year has not arrived, come to the New Year seems a little perfunctory, if it is later than the tenth day of the first month to pay New Year's greetings, it belongs to the old age, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has faded, and the visited people will be unhappy.

In the Chinese environment or folk customs, it is generally on the first day of the first lunar month, the elders of the family lead the juniors to go out to meet other relatives, friends or elders, and congratulate each other on the New Year with auspicious words, and then the host family will warmly entertain them with snacks, sweets, and red envelopes.

Of course, generally speaking, except for relatives and the like, other people rarely give red envelopes to press the New Year's money, after all, relatives are different.

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've been back to this place, and I've almost forgotten how many years it has been." Su Chengye said to Su Chengfang and Su Fang with infinite emotion.

Su Chengfang looked around at the scene, it was still so familiar, no different from when he was a child, as if he could vaguely see himself and his brothers and brothers playing and running in the fields on the hillside when he was a child, he was carefree at that time, and he never had to worry about life, he only needed to think about what good dishes his parents would make for them before he came home from school, if there was a little oil residue in the pot, he thought it was delicious, not to mention occasionally catching a half-catty grass carp with a meal, which made him jump on the ground a few times.

When I was a child, how could the conditions be as good as now, of course, the standard of living is different in different eras.

Su Fang smiled lightly and said to his eldest brother Su Chengye: "It seems that I haven't come back for six or seven years." He didn't feel much, after all, Su Fang usually lived in Xiejiazhuang, which was in the countryside, not in the county, and of course his feelings were not as strong as Su Chengye and Su Chengfang's two elder brothers.

Su Chengye nodded clearly, and Su Fang and Su Chengye went down a path next to the ancestral house, where there was a big willow tree, hugging thick, the branches were luxuriant, and there was a well on the side of the willow tree, which flowed with natural mountain spring water, sweet and delicious, and could be drunk directly, so you don't have to worry about having stomach trouble after drinking raw water.

Su Can also followed to take a look, the spring water in the well is different, it does not freeze in the cold winter, the slightest heat is steaming up, the spring water flows quietly, and it is crystal clear.

"This spring water is still the same, sweet!" Su Chengye squatted down by the well and took a sip of spring water to drink, the clear spring water was refreshing, and then he was in a happy mood.

Su Chengfang said: "When I used to cook shredded potato rice, I liked to soak the leaves of the sweet potato vines here, the water here is sweet, and I will never forget it after drinking it." "There are too many things that cannot be forgotten, which are precious memories in their time, just as people are always easy to remember the past when they are old, many things can only be regretted, and the loss cannot be recovered.

Su Can and Xie Ningtian followed them obediently, this is a place where no of their juniors speaks, Su Chengye and others are talking, as they walk in the places they have set foot, listen to their fathers tell them about the past that they once sighed.

Lin Anqin and his party cleaned the ancestral house inside and out at night, of course, the place where the beams were netted could not be cleaned, so they could only give up, fortunately, there were many rooms in the ancestral house, and there were many bed frames in it, so they only needed to take out the bedding and quilt from the wardrobe and spread it out.

This afternoon was cleaned and cleaned, and the other main thing was to share some of the people at home, like Su Chengye Lin Anqin stayed in the ancestral house to accompany Old Man Su, and everyone else had to go to other people's homes in the village to visit the New Year, Su Can and Xie Ningtian are the two youngest juniors in the family, and they also have to go out with the elders.

In the afternoon, Su Can and they were basically all in the New Year's greetings, basically running all the houses in the small village, that is, the most pimpling places in the mountains, the mountain roads were rugged, and the roads were covered with snow, Su Can didn't do much, but the third uncle Su Fang fell down, fortunately, the ground was soft snow, not a big deal, but in the eyes of several juniors, he was a little embarrassed, and sighed that it was not as good as back then.

Xie Ningtian secretly stuck out his tongue at Su Can, Su Can.

The people in the village are all related to the Su family, or they were related to each other a long time ago, of course, it is now so thin that it is not obvious, so they are all surnamed Su, and they can be said to be people of the same clan.

In the face of people of the same clan, Su Can's family does not have the kind of rich and noble appearance after development, and still treats the people in the village very normally, this mentality is unique to the old Su family.

However, the people who live in the village, occasionally come out to the county to do things, and they will also ask Su Chengye for help, come and go, and there are also people in the village who know that Su Can's family has made a fortune and opened his own shop, Su Chengye, who holds the teacher's iron rice bowl, is now also a big boss, so the people in the village can't help but feel a kind of awe in their hearts when they face the Su family.

This is natural and unavoidable, and with the accumulation of wealth, some things are no longer what they used to be.

At night, the sky gradually darkens, the moonlight sprinkles on the snow in the courtyard, and the white light spreads all over the courtyard, which is very beautiful, if there are a few foraging birds leaving a few claw marks on the snow, it is quite meaningful.

The bitter bamboo also swayed with the breeze, the bamboo leaves were mottled and swayed, and occasionally a pile of snow fell on the ground, crackling, causing Lin Anqin to go out to take a look.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, the houses are brightly lit and hidden in the birch trees, and the quiet village life is so clean, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is perfect for retirement and seclusion.

However, Su Can, who went out to pay New Year's greetings, had no intention of looking at these quiet scenery anymore, and they were all tired one by one, staggering, and almost fell asleep on the bed directly.

Su Can was also tired, yawned for a long time, lay down on the bed, felt that the place where his back and the bed board were in contact with the hard, it could be said that it was painful, he jumped up again, held his chin in his hand, and then he reached out and touched it under the blanket mat of the bed board, pulled out a bundle of straw, and was suddenly embarrassed.

However, when Su Can, Su Chengye and Su Chengfang were lying in bed at night, they felt the cotton fragrance of the quilt mixed with the fragrance of straw, and they slept more comfortably than the soft big bed in the county town this night. (To be continued.) )
