Chapter 129: New Year's Greetings
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Shanyun, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep for a long time, and she really wanted to fly to his side at this moment, hold his hand tightly, and wait for the arrival of the New Year with him.
The self in her heart, who had lived for twenty-three years, was fully capable of understanding love and tenderness, so she was eagerly looking forward to the passage of her thirteen-year-old body so that her thirteen-year-old body could mature as soon as possible.
Thinking that he was already twenty-nine years old when she reached the age of Jilu, she felt very sorry for him.
But she also knows that more important and precious things often need to be tested and waited, and both she and him need to be patient and confident.
She kissed the lotus jade pendant he gave her, turned over, and soon fell asleep.
Since he had to worship heaven and earth and his ancestors on the morning of the first day of the new year, Su Shanyun got up early.
Lu He and Mama Song lived in the outer room next to her boudoir, and when they saw her get up, they immediately came in to help her dress up.
"Miss is a year older again, do you want to change your hair to a bun?" Midori asked thoughtfully.
Su Shanyun combs all the hairstyles on weekdays, and today I want to try other hairstyles, but the hairstyles suitable for girls are peach buns and double snail buns in addition to Su'er.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's put on a peach bun." ”
Green Lotus immediately helped her comb it with her fingers.
After combing and then pinning a peach-colored silk flower, Green Lotus and Song Mama clapped their hands again and again and said, "It looks good!" ”
Su Shanyun glanced at the mirror, but saw that the face in the mirror was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her big eyes were full of shyness, and her small cherry lips were even more delicate and gentle, and she was delicious.
It looks more and more girly! Su Shanyun looked at herself in the mirror and said in her heart, I don't know what Yan Jinxuan will do when she sees it, and her mind immediately appeared in his affectionate gaze when he looked at her, and she couldn't help but feel hot on her face.
"Miss is shy." The green lotus smiled and amused.
"Not really." Su Shanyun said coquettishly, got up and went to the hall.
Since the juniors need to celebrate the birthday of the elders today, Mrs. Xiao has already sat on the top of the hall.
First Su Ziming and his wife, then Su Zizhao and his wife, and then their respective children saluted Mrs. Xiao one by one to celebrate her birthday.
"May you be blessed like the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan!"
Old Madam Xiao looked at her children and grandchildren with a smile, and her heart blossomed. She took out the red envelopes she had prepared a long time ago and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Then it's time for breakfast.
Breakfast on the first day of the new year includes rice cakes, rice balls, wontons, dumplings, chicken soup and noodles.
Chicken soup means peace, glutinous rice balls mean reunion, and noodles mean longevity, these three things must be eaten, so when they are seated, these three foods are already served.
Had breakfast. The family urinated in the courtyard of the house to worship the gods of heaven and earth, and then went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
In the afternoon, I went to Su Shanyun's uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Last night, Su Zixin instructed Guo: "Your aunt's family will come over tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings, you call the kitchen to prepare lunch early, I want to keep them down for lunch." ”
Guo Shi was dissatisfied: "Why do you leave them for lunch?" ”
"On weekdays, everyone is busy with their own work, and it is rare to get together during the New Year. What's there for a meal? ”
"The people of the two families add up to two large tables, how do you get this dish?" Guo is still not motivated at all.
She has always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Xiao, but now that Mrs. Xiao has added two male grandchildren, her heart is even more unbalanced, and she thinks that if she wants to get them a lunch, it will cost at least a few dozen taels of silver, and she doesn't know if the dishes she makes meet their appetites, so she doesn't want to keep them at all.
Su Zixin was not very happy when she heard her words, and said with a cold face: "It's been more than 20 years since you married into the Su family, don't you even know what your aunts like to eat?" ”
"I've been around housework since I got married, and when I have time to learn about this, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Guo was furious. The tone also became unpolite, and it was even more sad to think of his dedication to this family for more than 20 years.
Seeing this, Su Zixin had no choice but to succumb, he held her hand and said softly: "My aunt likes to eat braised eggplant and pork ribs stewed with shiitake mushrooms, Brother Ming likes to eat brine pig's feet and pot collapsed tofu, and Brother Zhao likes to eat ginger, shallots, shrimp and green pepper fried meat......" Before Su Zixin finished speaking, Guo Shi snapped and stopped him: "You remember clearly, do you know how much silver these ingredients cost together?" ”
Su Zixin's suppressed anger suddenly rose again, and he shouted: "This is the silver I earned, I don't feel sorry for you, why do you feel sorry?" I'll write you down the menu, and you'll have to make it happen to me tomorrow morning. ”
Guo saw that he was angry with himself for the sake of his aunt's family. Suddenly felt very wronged, and was about to walk away in anger, and suddenly thought that he was slowly getting old and decrepit over the years, what if he fell out with him in these things and went to find a young one to come back in a fit of anger? So he reluctantly replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”
The dish is implemented. But Guo was always very unhappy in his heart, so when Mrs. Xiao brought her children and grandchildren over, Guo's face was as gloomy as the rainy day, which made everyone uncomfortable to look at.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Xiao is their elder, and it is only right that they should come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, but since last year, Guo has said that it will be a three-year round, and it can't always be their family to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Xiao's family.
Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly when she heard it. But in the end, I didn't want to be too angry, so I said, "Okay, then let's do it every three years." ”
In this way, in the past three years, Mrs. Xiao brought the children to their house to pay New Year's greetings.
"Shuxia, do you need any help?" Old Madam Xiao asked. Now that she has complete children and grandchildren, she is satisfied, so she doesn't want to see the Guo family.
"Where do you dare to ask for your help, you just sit and wait for food." Guo Shi twisted his face and went into the kitchen.
Feng sighed secretly, feeling that having a meal here was more uncomfortable than doing anything. However, since Su Zixin opened his mouth, he was embarrassed not to give face, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear anything and followed Mrs. Xiao and Zhang Ying into the house.
After a while, she heard someone outside, Su Shanyun looked outside, and saw Guo Wanzhu and her husband coming.
As soon as Guo heard that his niece was coming, he immediately hurried out to greet him, took Guo Wanzhu's hand and went to the room, and then did not come out until lunchtime.
This Guo Wanzhu has been married for almost a year, but her stomach has not moved at all, and now she looks at Zhang Ying, who has given birth to a child and sits with Su Ziming lovingly, she can't help but feel sour in her heart - how good it would have been if she had married Su Ziming in the first place!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her husband was inferior, and tears involuntarily rolled in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming. Since there are relatives coming, I have to entertain for a while, and the third watch will be about 12 o'clock.
