Chapter 102: New Year's Greetings
After secretly chanting in his heart, Su Wen burned some paper money before the original owner. The original owner died silently, and she couldn't even set up a ranking, so naturally no one burned paper money for her.
As a direct beneficiary, Suwen has an unshirkable responsibility to the original owner. Even if the whole world forgets the original owner, she must remember it. Not only this year, but every year after that, she had to put two pillars of incense on behalf of the original owner and burn some paper money at the same time to express her heart.
After all, she occupies the shell of other people, whether she is voluntary or not, she becomes the final beneficiary. That's why she deserves to do this.
In addition to worshipping the original owner, Su Wen also sincerely worshiped the old lady Hua and the two uncles who had no chance to meet. In this process, Yunzhi's tears never stopped. She had spent time with the people buried in the tomb, and the feelings in her heart were naturally more poignant than those she had asked.
After the worship, Yunzhi and Su Wen returned to Washington with a group of subordinates. After all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and they still have to rush back for the holiday, so they can't delay too long.
No matter where you are, there is one thing that remains the same in the customs of the New Year, and that is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Similar to all families, the Hua family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was quite sumptuous. Although the Hua family is thin, the table of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is just as lively. You Su Wen joked beside him, Hua Mu and Yunzhi did not feel cold.
While enjoying the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the host's house, the people in Washington were also immersed in the joy of Chinese New Year's Eve. Although their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not as exquisite as the host's family, the richness is not inferior.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Hua's mother went back to the backyard to rest first. She's old now, after all. The energy can't be compared to that of young people, so I take an early break. Hua's mother can go to rest, but Su Wen and Yunzhi must insist on keeping the year. They chatted with a few maids while waiting for the new year.
After chatting for a while, Su Wen felt a little sleepy. In order to sober up, she decided to organize everyone to play a game to survive the long night.
As for what game to play, Su Wen has a lot of ideas in his mind. But when it comes to some taboos during the Chinese New Year, many games are abandoned in the first place. After thinking about it, she thinks that it is most reliable to beat the drum and pass the flowers, this kind of game is simple and convenient, and there is no taboo to play.
In this way, at her suggestion, everyone in the room played a game of drumming and passing flowers. The results came and went, and the bouquet of flowers finally reached Su Wen's hands.
Seeing that the bouquet of flowers stopped in his hand, Su Wen was not in a hurry at all. Since she offered to play the game. Naturally, I was ready to be caught in my heart. She held the bouquet in her hand and sang a song to everyone with a smile on her face. In order to set off the atmosphere of the New Year, she deliberately sang "Congratulations".
For this song. Yunzhi and the maids expressed their affection. At such a New Year's moment. This song simply couldn't be more appropriate.
So, the game was put aside for the time being. In the following time, Su Wen began to teach the maids to sing this song "Congratulations". Because the lyrics of this song are simple, the melody is bright, and the maids learn carefully, it only took half an hour. And they all learned.
Learn a new song, and the maids can't wait to sing it to the whole world. One by one, they all looked geared up, planning to show off in front of others tomorrow.
Seeing their appearance, Su Wen's heart suddenly swelled with an emotion called vanity. This moment. She experienced a sense of being trend-setting. It was only at this point that she finally understood the feelings of those fashionistas in her previous life. Find out why they always want to be at the forefront of fashion.
It has to be said that vanity is really an intoxicating feeling. She has always been proud of her self-control, but she didn't expect to be conquered by this feeling.
When the maidens learn the song, the game of drumming and passing flowers begins again. They were all in high spirits and had a lot of fun. The only fly in the ointment is that everyone who gets caught sings "Congratulations and Congratulations" again. After listening to it so many times at once, Su Wen felt that his ears were about to become calloused.
Finally, when it was her turn, Su Wen sang another New Year's song. The next thing can be imagined, the girls' enthusiasm for learning is high again.
During this time, Yunzhi has been smiling and watching them play. Although she did not participate in the activity of learning to sing new songs, she was infected by their happy atmosphere, and the smile on her face never disappeared from beginning to end. When something funny happens, she laughs out loud with everyone and seems to be in a pretty good mood.
In the laughter, they finally ushered in the new year. With the arrival of the new year, the sound of firecrackers came from outside the house, which sounded so lively.
Under Xing'er's service, Su Wen ran to the yard to set off firecrackers. She had been living in the city in her previous life, and she didn't see many scenes of firecrackers going off like this. Looking at the fireworks over Yunzhou City and listening to the sound of firecrackers near and far, she felt a strong New Year's flavor coming to her face.
Although there is no Spring Festival Gala and the Internet, the joy of the New Year has not diminished. In the first Spring Festival that she has traveled over, she has a very happy life.
On the first day of junior high school, Su asked a little later than usual. After tossing and turning all night yesterday, she didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, so she slept a little longer than usual. After getting up, the first thing she did was to go to Hua's mother to pay New Year's greetings. Fortunately, Wu asked her to get up, so she didn't miss the time to pay New Year's greetings.
After Su Wen finished saluting, Hua's mother ordered her to sit beside her, and then said with a smile while looking lovingly: "I slept so late yesterday, and I don't know how much sleep I can sleep today." ”
Hearing her concern, Su Wen immediately replied with a smile on his face: "I can make up for it, but I can't miss the time to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma." Just because Grandma loves Su Wen, so she has to be more attentive, otherwise it will make Grandma hurt in vain. Grandma, do you think that's the reason? ”
Hearing her say this, Hua's mother said with a relieved face: "The girl is filial, how can Grandma not see it?" It's okay on weekdays, but it's better to be casual during the New Year, so as not to restrain you. ”
Seeing Hua's mother's indulgence, Su Wen was quite moved in his heart, and immediately deliberately said cutely: "Grandma, you are so good to Su Wen." With you, Su Wen will not feel restricted. Grandma, let's do it, Su Wen sings you a song, and it will be another New Year's gift, you must not be unpleasant. ”
Hearing that she was going to sing, Hua's mother's eyes turned into a slit with laughter, and she said jokingly: "Sing well, there is a New Year's money." If you don't sing well, the New Year's money will be gone. ”
deliberately showed a depressed expression, Su Wen didn't forget to cast a pitiful look at Hua Mu, and then he sang: "Every street and alley, everyone's mouth, the first sentence when we meet is congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations......, congratulations
As the song continued, a knowing smile bloomed on Hua Mu's face. On such a day, hearing such a song, her mood naturally became happy.
It wasn't until she listened to the whole song that Hua's mother said with a smile: "This song is interesting, where did the girl learn it, the old woman has never heard anyone sing it before?" The lyrics are vivid and interesting, and they are really appropriate for the occasion. Of course, our family Su Wen sang better. ”
Hearing her say this, Su Wen grinned and lied calmly: "This song is hummed casually by Su Wen when he is usually idle, and it seems that Grandma also thinks it is good." ”
Hearing that Su Wen hummed it at will, Hua Mu's eyes immediately showed a look of approval. She has been living in the capital since she was a child, and the noblewomen there usually have a lot of dance and ink, so she is not surprised that she can write a song, but is quite pleased.
Receiving her approving eyes, Su Wen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, this song was not written by her, although no one can debunk it, but it is inevitable that there are some small apprehensions in my heart.
The reason why Su Wen did this was not to occupy other people's intellectual property rights, but more to seek a reasonable source for these things. After all, these things are different from medical skills, and she can't find a source that can convince the world, so she has to resort to this method.
Luckily, the crossing was a low-probability event, and so far, she hadn't heard of any other travelers visiting the area. In this way, the probability of her being exposed is close to zero, which is the most important reason why she dares to do this.
Putting the red envelope containing the New Year's money in Su Wen's hand, Hua's mother didn't forget to smile and advised: "It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't waste all your time here." Mr. Hong is out alone for the holidays, and if you are a student, it is best to take time to visit, and you have done your duty. ”
Hearing her say this, Su Wen immediately replied with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry. After a while to pay New Year's greetings to his mother, Su Wen immediately went to Mr. Hong to pay New Year's greetings. ”
Hua's mother was quite satisfied with her performance, and immediately said with a smile: "It's not too early now, you hurry up and go to your mother's place to take a turn, so you can go to Mr. Hong's place to say hello to the New Year earlier." Master and apprentice are equal to father and son, and Mr. Hong cannot be delayed. ”
agreed, and Su Wen went to Yunzhi. After she finished the New Year's greetings, took the red envelope, and went to the Yongning Marquis Mansion in a carriage, Xingchong Chongchong took the dim sum made by herself to pay New Year's greetings to Hong Qian.
When he arrived at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Su Wen was startled by the long queue of gift-giving at the door. She never knew that the queue for gifts could be so long, occupying almost an entire street in front of the Hou Mansion.
At the end of the line, seeing that it would be his turn to be in the carriage for some time, Su Wen was quite speechless. In desperation, she had no choice but to send a coachman to say hello to the little guy guarding the gate of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, hoping to be accommodating, so that her carriage could be convenient.
