40. Torture and killing (the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve)

Su Ya sat for a moment and then returned, she had to go back to work, otherwise her grandmother would scold her again in a while.

When Su Chenrui came back after worshipping his ancestors, he pasted the door god painting.

Su Rui asked her younger siblings to change their clothes, and she went to the stove room, took two pig's trotters pickled after the autumn harvest, ten white-flour steamed buns, and went to the side to take two catties of oranges, and found that there was still one missing... In ancient times, gifts could only be given in even numbers, and the odd number was unlucky, and after thinking about it, Su Rui took twenty rice balls that were made two days ago.

When I returned to the bedroom, I saw that my younger siblings were wearing the new clothes that Second Uncle Song bought when he didn't leave, Su Rui also took the clothes and quickly changed them, and Su Ying helped comb her hair. There are several sisters in the Su family, Su Ying's hands are the most skillful, but when she went to the market and saw other women's hairstyles, she came back and tried Su Rui's hair a few times, and then she would comb it.

Grab your food and walk to the old house.

The old house is always noisy... Wang and Mrs. Su scolded each other three times a day.

Su Rui really wanted to turn around and leave...

After taking a deep breath, Fang Cai shouted, "Grandma, we are here." ”

After a moment of quarreling, Mrs. Su turned her head and saw Su Rui's sister and brother, standing at the door, and said, "Come in, what are you doing standing at the door?" Do you want me to pick you up? ”

Su Rui lowered her head and pursed her lips, and walked into the courtyard with Xiao Chennan in her arms.

Su Chenrui handed the basket to Mrs. Su: "Grandma, this is some food to honor you and grandpa." ”

Mrs. Su took a look: "How to eat this pickled pig's trotters?" Or what is this ball? ”

Su Qiao stepped forward to explain: "Grandma, the pickled pig's trotters can be left for a long time, and when you eat them, you only need to soak them in water and wash them in advance, and you can put soybeans or radish and cabbage stew soup to drink." ”

"As for the white one, it is a sweet dumpling, glutinous rice flour is used as the skin, and sesame peanut sugar is put in it for the filling. It's delicious, but you can't digest it if you eat too much glutinous rice, so eat less at a time. ”

Su Qiao disliked that the dumplings were not good, so he changed his name to Sweet Tuanzi, which also means reunion.

Mrs. Su nodded clearly, walked into the stove room with the basket, and said to Su Rui's sister and brother, "You go into the hall and sit down." ”

Su Rui passed by the Wang family and said softly: "Auntie, you must hold on and take care of yourself, otherwise what will Brother Chen Dong do with them?" ”

Wang looked gratefully at Su Rui's back as she walked into the hall...

She is not a person who does not know what to do, Yi'er and Ya'er all told her about Su Rui's kindness to them.

Lunch prepared by the old house, cabbage stew, braised rabbit, braised fish, chicken soup, leek dumplings, radish fried meat, a bowl of egg custard, staple food to eat two rice.

There are more than 20 people, eight dishes, each dish is not large, the fish is not allowed to move, and it is necessary to leave it until the first day of the new year, which means "more than every year"

Therefore, Su Rui's sister and brother are not full...

After lunch and sitting for a while, Su Rui's sister and brother got up and said goodbye, and no one in the old house said anything about keeping the New Year together.

When he got home, Su Qiao went to heat up a few steamed buns and ate them casually. I have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening...

Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Rui and Su Qiao have prepared a lot of delicious food, including sweet and sour pork ribs, braised rabbit dice, stewed lamb soup, scrambled eggs with leeks, braised fish balls, braised fish, and big white rice for the main food.

After eating, everyone brought the rest of the food into the stove room.

Su Rui hid the sharp tools such as kitchen knives and scissors at home in case she didn't pay attention to them during the New Year.

After everything was cleaned up, I took out fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, oranges, apples, pears, watermelons, peanut candy, sesame sugar, all kinds of snacks and a pot of water soaked in orange peel and rock sugar.

Su Rui selected the reddest apples and oranges, selected two snacks at random, put four plates, and put them in front of the incense burner on the offering table, and asked Su Chenrui to order three sticks of incense and bow respectfully.

Fang put the rest of the food on the kang table, and the sisters and sisters sat down around the kang table, eating all kinds of food, chatting, looking at the white lanterns hanging at the door of the hall, Su Rui's brothers and sisters were very heartbroken, and felt that this day was as full of hope as the light from the lanterns.

Keeping the New Year, it is boring and boring, in the absence of modern Spring Festival Gala and various variety shows and circle of friends, it is even more boring, at the beginning, everyone talked and laughed, eating, chatting about the day is better, and later, Xiao Chennan's biological clock arrived, sitting in Su Rui's arms, nodding and "snapping", and the head door slammed into the kang table......

Su Rui hurriedly asked Su Ying to lay out the kang, and she took off Xiao Chennan's clothes and put them in the quilt to sleep, and then Su Wan also fell asleep.

Su Rui saw that Su Chenrui, Su Ying, and Su Qiao were all holding on, and persuaded her: "Why don't you go to sleep first?" ”

Su Ying shook her head and said, "I can't let the eldest sister keep the New Year alone, I'll wash my face." ”

Su Qiao and Su Chenrui also got up to wash their faces.

Su Rui saw that they were all sitting down, so she proposed: "Idle is idle, let's play backgammon, right?" ”

Su Chenrui had never heard of backgammon, so he asked Su Rui: "Sister, what is backgammon?" ”

Su Rui took out the Go game before Su Fu's death, and this was discovered by cleaning on the day of the new year.

"Backgammon means that both sides use black and white pieces respectively and play at the intersection of straight and horizontal lines on the chessboard, and the one who forms a five-piece line first wins."

Su Rui picked up the chess pieces and raised her eyebrows to look at her younger siblings: "What?" To play or not to play? ”

Su Chenrui wants to be idle, why don't you play?

"Play."

In the first game, Su Chenrui lost after playing more than a dozen words at the beginning, and the second and third games were .........

After I don't know how many rounds, Su Chenrui was finally able to hold on for a quarter of an hour before losing.

Su Qiao watched it interestingly from the side, so he said, "Eldest sister, you let me have a game with my eldest brother." ”

Su Rui got up and moved out of the way: "Come on, don't let your eldest brother win." ”

Su Qiao chuckled, "Okay"

Su Chenrui was not happy, and complained: "Eldest sister! ”

"The eldest sister is here, come on."

As a result, I didn't expect that Su Qiao, who had never played once, also won against Su Chenrui.

Su Ying also competed with Su Chenrui, but Su Chenrui was defeated.

Su Chenrui "..............."

"Hahaha"

Su Rui couldn't hold back any longer, laughed, and joked at Su Chenrui: "You are too weak, you have played so much, and you were tortured and killed by Qiao'er." ”

Su Chenrui didn't believe in evil, picked up the chess pieces and said, "Let's do it again." ”

When I was about to kill a game, there was a change of husband outside, "Knock-knock-knock!" "The sound of the time...

Hearing the sound, the younger brothers and sisters of the Su family glanced at each other, and hurriedly threw down the chess pieces, got off the kang and put on shoes.

When he came out of the bedroom, no one spoke, and he could not speak until the next morning when he had eaten.

Su Chenrui went to set off firecrackers first, and then immediately went to the stove room to incense the stove god, and Su Ying burned the fire to cook red date sugar water.

There is a custom in Sujia Village that you should drink a bowl of red date syrup after the night, which means that the new year is prosperous and sweet.

After a while, Su Chenrui picked up the stove, and the red date sugar water was also boiled, and one person drank half a bowl, and then took a spoon and fed Su Wan and Xiao Chennan a spoonful, even if they had drunk the red date sugar water.

Su Wan and Xiao Chennan may have felt the sweetness, and they smacked their mouths unsatisfactorily...

The younger siblings of the Su family looked at each other and smiled, then quickly packed up the chess pieces, laid out the kang and lay down to sleep.

When she got up early, Su Rui opened her eyes, hurriedly put aside the oranges placed on the side of the kang, ate a piece, and then dressed.

The younger sibling woke up and fed another piece.
