After more than an hour of stop-and-go, I saw Xiaolian Village from afar, a small village, surrounded by mountains, small bridges and flowing water, fragrant flowers in the fields, on the lychee trees on the hill, the branches are full of red and red ripe fruits, black-leaved lychees, new specialty glutinous rice glutinous lychees, fragrant lychees, and various other fruit trees.

Walk on the small bridge and look up, the clear flowing water under the bridge, you can clearly see the fish and shrimp swimming in the water, the water in this era is clean and free of chemical pollution, adults and children like to swim and bathe in the river, unlike the river water in later generations are floating garbage, and you can't see the bottom of the river clearly.

Across the bridge is the sun-drying mill, rows of mud brick houses in the millet field, one or two lychee trees, the branches are full of red lychees, and you drool when you look at it.

Under the lychee tree, my grandfather sat there, wearing a new blue shirt, gray pants, and gray cloth shoes, smiling at our arrival.

"Grandpa, grandpa, we're here.

"Daddy" ......

"Okay, it's all here, it's hot, get home, wash your face, wash your feet, and drink water."

"Okay, mud and sweat, let's go home first."

Grandma Chen Yao looked at the door of the house and asked with a smile,

"It's coming...... my good grandson is here too!"

"Grandma, grandma, grandma, we miss you so much."

"Mom"

"Good grandson's mouth is so sweet, is he obedient at home? Let's get home for a cup of tea. ”

Grandma took the gift, and several people were busy washing their faces and feet, sitting down to drink saliva, and finally came back to life and started chatting.

"How is Mom doing?"

"Okay, how are you doing, how are you doing?"

"It's all like that, recently I can eat enough to divide the fields, and it's much better to see hope."

"Yes, now there is hope, the country's policy is getting better and better, and now it is better to divide the fields, your father said that he would dig a fish pond."

"Mm-hmm, dig a fish pond too."

"Your brother said that he sold the rice and bought an excavator, just enough to dig a fish pond."

"That's fine, but then you're going to have a hard time."

"Do you have any ideas for making money?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't have the capital."

"Daughter, let's go cook first, and relatives will come in a while."

"Okay, Mom.

"The son-in-law helps kill the fish, the chickens, and the ducks."

"Okay, Mom."

"Then I'll boil the water first and use it to kill chickens and ducks and pick up their feathers." Mother Ye Yao walked to the kitchen.

"Then I'll kill the fish." Dad Ye Xingrong walked to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, took out two big fish from the basin, used the back of the knife to remove the fillet, dismantle the fishing line, remove the internal organs, and steam the whole one.

Mother Ye Yaoshi boiled hot water, stripped the chickens and ducks that Father Ye had killed, and went to wash the vegetables.

Ye Xingrong cut the feathered duck into pieces with a knife. The chicken was cooked whole and went to worship the gods and ancestors.

Grandma took the boiled chicken to worship the ancestors, worshiped in the land temple, offered incense, and lit candles.

Ye Yao's Mali boiled duck with winter melon, duck stewed with potatoes, it is good to have meat to eat in this era, it is all about doing big things for the New Year and festivals, so much meat, will be cooked together with some melon beans and the like.

Ye Xingrong cut the chicken that Chen Yao had worshiped into pieces with a knife.

Ye Yao's steamed two fish, boiled white rice, boiled white cut chicken, fried vegetables, shredded with garlic, ginger, green onion and coriander, added some flavor and stir-fried in an oil pan, poured on top of two steamed fish, wiped the sweat on his head, and walked to the outside hall.

The close relatives in the hall came, and there were many adults and children, and they went in to drink saliva.

"Mom, wipe your sweat, has Mom cooked well, Mom has worked hard". Ye Zi hugged her mother Ye Yao's thigh, and said with a smile.

"It's so good, it's ready, wow, start the meal immediately."

"Are you ready?" Grandpa asked.

"Dad, I've finished cooking, are my relatives all here?"

"Well, the relatives are here, and they will set up a table for dinner immediately."

Set up three large tables, high chairs, and chopsticks, and all relatives happily congratulate and bless, and then sit down in priority.
