After the joke, the idea was settled, Xu Ziling looked at the store, and saw that there were really many types of fireworks, from small to large, I was afraid of no less than forty or fifty kinds, among which the big ones, the business car could only put three or two at most, so he asked the store owner if he could deliver the goods.

As soon as they spoke, the shopkeeper kept standing next to him, and naturally knew that they wanted to buy a lot, and immediately replied to Xu Ziling: "The road is easy to walk, and if it is not far, you can send it, you also know that it is not very convenient for the New Year today, if it is usual, I can send it as far as you go." ”

Xu Ziling knew that he was telling the truth, because they have such a custom here, on the day of the New Year, they will not visit the door after four o'clock in the afternoon, although there is no certain meaning, but the people of this land are still abiding by it.

"It's not far, Fuyun Village."

"Oh, Fuyun Village, that's no problem, you see what you want, when you choose, I'll load the car immediately and send it to you personally." The boss is also a person who can observe words and feelings, seeing Xu Ziling and they all drove two cars over, including a pickup truck, they didn't even pull it back by themselves, plus the previous conversation, they knew that they definitely bought not a few, and when they saw that they were not too far away, they immediately said that they would send it over in person.

"That's okay, you calculate how many goods you have here, send them all to me, we have to go shopping before we go back, you just go directly to Fuyun Village to find Xu Jiang, I believe the boss you should know this person, the one who opened the game restaurant in front."

"All...... All? "The boss obviously saw such a high roller for the first time, ordinary people want to buy so much, they all go directly to the factory, who will come to him, surprised, I didn't even notice what Xu Ziling said later.

Seeing him like this, Xu Ziling knew that he didn't listen to his words at all, so he had to say it again, "Yes, all, you calculate, how much?" I'll give you the money, and you send the goods directly to Xu Jiang's house, just Xu Jiang, who opened a game restaurant below. ”

Now the boss confirmed that he had heard correctly, and understood that the young man in front of him should be Xu Jiang's nephew, and his words were much more polite than just now, "You are the son of Boss Xu, don't worry, I will definitely calculate the cheapest price for the things, and I will send them to your house immediately." ”

Xu Haoran and Xu Jiang were in the town a long time ago, and people who were familiar with them called Xu Haoran Boss Da Xu, Xu Jiang Boss Xiao Xu, or simply Boss Xu, but when they called Boss Xu, it was definitely called Xu Haoran, and when Xu Ziling heard it, he knew that the owner of the fireworks shop had also opened a store in the town for a long time, and nodded, which was regarded as admitting his identity.

"Then trouble the boss to calculate how much, we still have to go shopping, you can just help me send it over."

"Okay, no problem."

The boss hurriedly agreed, asked a few words about whether Xu Haoran was okay or not, quickly calculated the total price of these fireworks, reported them to Xu Ziling, and repeatedly said that he gave the lowest price and did not earn him any more money.

Xu Ziling didn't know the market of this thing, but looking at his words were quite sincere, it was estimated that there might be some moisture, but it wouldn't be too much, so he quickly gave the money, and then greeted him and said that their car stopped in front of their store, and led a few people to hang out.

People come and go, the more you go to the center of the town, the more people there are, seeing this situation, Xu Ziling is a little glad that he just made the decision, he didn't drive over, there are a lot of food on the street, a few people walked all the way, Yang Ruolan and a few of their girls are index fingers, like what kind of fried glutinous rice dumplings and other fried and barbecued have bought a little taste.

But the town is the most lively, the place is only so big, after shopping a few streets, I didn't buy anything else, I went back, came to the shop that sold fireworks before, the proprietress of the store saw them come to get the car, and ran out very politely to say hello to them, saying that the male boss delivered goods to them not long after they left.

Now the road is better, and the speed of going back is faster, the car starts, slowly drives out of the street, and then it gets faster, and in less than ten minutes, I go back to my house, park the car outside, and go into the yard, and the people who came to the door have gone back, and there is no one inside.

Walking into the house, Xu Jiang and Zhang Lan were preparing some ingredients, while grandpa was sitting at the door of the hall, watching grandma and Xu Haoran preparing for the ancestral worship before the dinner, this kind of scene, Yang Ruolan had seen it once the year before last, but for the two sisters of the Xiao family, this was a completely unfamiliar ritual, feeling a little sacred, and a little curious, Xiao Ying asked Xu Ziling in a low voice, what is this doing? Is it to worship some kind of god?

Xu Ziling patted her head lightly and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, just remember to kowtow." ”

Ancestor worship before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, in Xu Ziling they are very important here, no matter which family, as long as someone in the family is there, even if it is a person, they must come to a set of such rituals, light incense candles, pray by the elderly, and then kowtow to each descendant from the oldest to the smallest, of course, each person who kowtows must be someone under this family, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, Xu Ziling let Xiao Ying do this, naturally treat her as his own family.

It's just that Xiao Ying didn't understand this, and when she heard that Xu Ziling asked her to kowtow, she thought she was playing tricks on her, so she pouted and ran to her grandfather, pinching her grandfather's shoulders while coquettishly asking what she was doing.

The old man has no daughters in his life, only Xu Haoran has such a son, and Xu Haoran only has Xu Ziling as a son, but most of the people of their era have several children, and now they are full of children and grandchildren, the old man usually doesn't say it, but he is extremely envious of those people, and learned from Zhang Lan's mouth that the four people who came with them this time were raised by her as children, and the two sisters of the Xiao family were also quite affectionate, and the old man immediately looked at them as granddaughters, at this time Xiao Ying was coquettish, made him very happy in his heart, and talked to her about worshipping his ancestors with a smile, and the most reluctant, like Xu Ziling, pointed to Duan Zhan and the four of them, and asked them to wait and worship.

Non-descendants are not allowed to bow down! A few people listened to the old man say this lightly, and listened to let them worship too, and felt the care they had never felt in their lives, this is their relatives! This is home!

Killers are also people, Xu Ziling and the old man's actions undoubtedly touched the deepest part of their hearts, in this kind of thing, girls' hearts are weaker than men, Duan Zhan and Li Xingwen are okay, but they nodded seriously at the old man with slightly red faces, but the two girls were much more excited, their eyes were red at the same time, and tears flashed in their eyes.

Xu Ziling is very ruthless to outsiders, but he is very soft to his own people, and he sighs in his heart when he sees two girls like this, don't look at a few of them are usually the same as normal people, but in fact, they all have a distortion in their hearts, which is known from the tasks they have done before: every time they kill someone, they kill the target by unusually cold means. said that he was completing the task, but it was better to kill people to vent the tyranny in his heart.

They have never seen sadness, but now they can cry, it seems that they are gradually becoming normal people, seeing such a situation, Xu Ziling is a little happy.

"Alright, alright...... It's such a big two people, and they will return the golden beans. Seeing the two of them like this, Yang Ruolan hurriedly walked to the two of them and wiped their eyes.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is always bad to cry, and being teased by Yang Ruolan like this, the two people were embarrassed to cry, squinted at Xu Ziling, and then looked at the old man and Xu Haoran and others who were busy there, and then looked at Duan Zhan and Li Xingwen, and laughed happily.

"Sister-in-law, will you give us the New Year's money later......"

"Dead girl, I've never seen anyone who took the initiative to press the New Year's money." Yang Ruolan scolded with a smile.

……

Seeing that they quickly made a mess again, Xu Ziling also smiled.

Sometimes laughing, occasionally helping to do something, the time passed quickly, the sky was getting dark, the lights were lit up in the village, Xu Jiang was busy for several hours, a table of hearty meals was ready, and grandma's side, the ancestor worship was ready, the personnel arrived, the offerings were placed, the incense and candles were lit, and everyone stood in the hall and began to hold the ceremony.

This kind of activity has always been done by grandmothers, and this year it is still the same, burning incense and cleaning hands, starting to pray, chanting the names of ancestors, talking about the situation of the family in the past year, the difference from previous years is only that there are four more members this year.

This is not a superstition, but a long-standing custom, after grandma's words, it is the time to worship, grandpa is the largest, starting with him, followed by Xu Haoran, Zhang Lan, Xu Jiang.

No matter who it is, when kneeling, the grandmother as the master of ceremonies will always say a few words, of course, everyone's statement is different, like when the grandfather kneels, the grandmother will mainly mention physical health, and when it is Xu Haoran's turn, it is to say that the career is successful and the like.

After a few elders, it was Duan Zhan and Li Xingwen, because the two of them were older than Xu Ziling, so they were ahead of Xu Ziling, the two knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed, Xu Ziling stood behind, looking at the trembling backs of the two, and knew that their hearts were not as calm as they seemed.

After the two of them, followed by Xu Ziling and Yang Ruolan, and then the two sisters of the Xiao family, after a tribute to their ancestors, half an hour passed, and the sky was completely dark, everyone cleaned up the table together, and then they were ready to start the banquet.

Before the meal, of course, there is the most important link, that is, the New Year's money, the rules of the Xu family have always been like this, the New Year's money will come at the dinner table before the meal, a few people sit down, first starting with the grandfather, give each junior a red envelope, then Xu Haoran, and then Xu Jiang, if so, Xu Ziling and the six of them, each got three red envelopes.

Generally speaking, there is no New Year's money after the age of eighteen, but their family doesn't have this rule, so don't look at Duan Zhan in his twenties, grandpa They are also correct, the first time they got the New Year's money, Duan Zhan and Li Xingwen have mixed feelings, and Xiao Ying and Xiao Ning are even better, and they are overjoyed, until they finish eating, the smile on their faces has not stopped.
