"I carefully read the questions and mock test papers made by this girl, and they are all according to the pattern of their exams in previous years, regardless of the type or scope of the questions, they are all reasonable." Old Man Lin smiled proudly, "And the correction of mistakes is also serious, old woman, you can relax." It's still the right thing to think about what to add to Lin Ran, Mo Zhi is a big man after all, and no matter how careful he is, he can't take care of some aspects. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to buy some clothes for Ranran, and the girl still wears some bright colors to look good," with the words of Old Man Lin, the old lady was like taking a reassuring pill, "I looked at her clothes, either black and white or gray camel, this time I am in charge and change her style." ”

Even if it is a suburb, it is also a suburb, and Yancheng is big, and it takes nearly two hours to drive from the Lin family's old house to the ancestral house. After all, Lin Ran knew that there was something to do later, and no matter how sleepy she was, she didn't sleep steadily, so she rubbed her eyes and sat up after sleeping for about an hour: "Grandpa, how long will it take to arrive?" ”

She was in a daze, her voice was even softer, and she even had a coquettish tone that was rare on weekdays.

Hearing this, the old couple's hearts softened, and the old man Lin saw that she was going to take the quilt away, and hurriedly instructed: "Cover it, and take it off after a while, otherwise what's wrong with you catching a cold?" ”

Lin Ran was stunned "oh", and was stunned on the back seat for a while, and then said softly: "Grandma, I want to drink water......"

Mrs. Lin twisted open the thermos cup that had been at her hand and handed it over: "Be careful to drink, ah, don't worry." ”

Watching Lin Ran holding a cup and drinking water in small sips, Mrs. Lin didn't know why, she thought of Lin Ran's appearance when she was a child, when she returned to Yancheng during the New Year, combed her pigtails, followed her all the way to her grandmother's screaming, and reached out to help her work, her delicate little face was cuter than the New Year's doll hanging at the door.

The little group of the year has now become such an excellent girl.

But there are too many things to do, everything begins to hide in her heart, and girls of the same age are still addicted to enjoying a relaxed college life, but Ran Ran has to deal with these ......

"Grandma, can we steam some meat dragons by the way this year?" It wasn't until Lin Ran handed the water cup back that Mrs. Lin came back to her senses, and Lin Ran smiled a little embarrassed, "I haven't eaten it all these years, no one will do it when I was in Suzhou City, and now I have returned to Yancheng, I really want to." ”

Meat dragon is the traditional snack of Yancheng, few people will do it in this area of Yancheng, generally when the adults in the family coax the children who do not like to eat, they either buy or steam themselves, a good piece of meat dragon is enough to coax the child to eat happily, and chase the back of the adult's butt to want another piece.

The reason why Lin Ran felt a little embarrassed was also because of this, but the meat dragon made by Mrs. Lin was really a must, she had gone to buy a few meat dragons that were among the top on the must-eat list in Yancheng in the past few days, and she touched her conscience and said that none of them were delicious as Mrs. Lin's.

If you haven't eaten those few people, it's easy to say, but now that you eat it, it's not that taste, so she wants to think about that taste more, and she was embarrassed to say that she wanted to steam steamed buns after returning to worship her ancestors on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, so she brought it out and wanted to have a feast.

She said that she wanted to eat, where could Mrs. Lin have anything she shouldn't have, so she agreed with a smile: "What is this, if you want to eat grandma, I will steam it for you." I've been wanting to do it since you came back, but you haven't said it, I thought you didn't like meat dragons anymore. ”

"How so!" Hearing Mrs. Lin's promise, Lin Ran smiled and was extremely satisfied, "Grandma's meat dragon is the most delicious, but this thing is troublesome, don't do too much, give me a mouthful and it's over." ”

"Hey, what's the trouble with this, isn't it just going to steam steamed buns today?" Old Man Lin took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Do you still eat red date steamed buns?" I'll ask Lao Cheng to soak some red dates when I'm done, and I'll hand it over to you after I'm done. ”

Lin Ran was embarrassed: "Grandpa...... I'm so old! Can we not mention this kind of black history! ”

When Lin Ran was a child, she didn't like to eat, but Uncle Cheng came up with the method, when making steamed buns, she specially wrapped red dates in the steamed buns, and coaxed her to eat with this little sweetness, not to mention, this trick is extremely effective for Lin Ran.

Talking and laughing all the way, it was not sad to drive for an hour left, and when he arrived at the place, Lin Ran jumped out of the car first, stretched out his hand to help the old couple down one by one, and looked at the empty environment around him and was a little stunned: "Grandpa, didn't they come?" ”

When Lin Ran said in his mouth, he naturally referred to the uncles and aunts in the second and third rooms.

The smile on Old Man Lin's face remained unchanged, but his tone was light, as if he was impatient to mention them: "Today, just the three of us, worship the ancestors quietly, your uncle and aunt have a lot of things at home, so I didn't let them come over." ”

After saying that, he walked forward with Mrs. Lin, and Lin Ran hurriedly followed, only then did he hear the old man's remaining words: "Tomorrow we will have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and our family of three and Lao Cheng will have a lively meal." ”

This is...... What does that mean?

Without waiting for Lin Ran to think clearly, the ancestral hall was already close in front of her, Lin Ran hurriedly got rid of distracting thoughts, cleaned up her expression, followed the old couple, and crossed the threshold into the ancestral hall.

Although the ancestral hall is not big, but there is no shortage of regulations, as soon as you enter the room, you can see a long mahogany case, for more than 20 tablets, and each tablet is also hung with a lifelike voice and smile.

Lin Ran only glanced at the door and didn't dare to look more, followed behind the second elder in a regular manner, listened to the instructions of the old man Lin, and then turned around and took a basin of water from the door from the security guard who was guarding the old mansion and the ancestral hall, and closed the door lightly.

Mrs. Lin personally held the incense, Mrs. Lin put the tribute dishes, Lin Ran first held the wine, and then wrung the warm white towel in the warm water, and carefully wiped the tablet one by one.

When I got closer, I found that the tablet was different from the old and new, and the material of the small portrait of the voice and smile hanging on it was also different, and the ancestors of the ancient time were full of historical significance, and the ancestors from the Republic of China were the photos.

After wiping them one by one, Lin Ran followed behind the old couple, and Yuguan gave incense to each tablet and bowed, this set of procedures she had done before, but this time it was a little different, the old man asked her to bow three times and bow nine times one by one, and this was the end.

Lin Ran didn't understand what she meant, she only felt that she hadn't returned to Yancheng for many years, and she wanted to show her solemnity to her ancestors and ancestors, so she bowed three times and bowed to each other one by one.

Until the last one, Old Man Lin sighed leisurely: "Ming'er, you see, Ran Ran has become a big girl." ”

The last one is Lin Ran's biological father, the biological son of the old couple, and Lin Ming's tablet.

Lin Ran knelt on the ground, looking at the ranking, although she was young when her father left, the letters and videos left by her father were almost reviewed every year.

Looking at the tablet that is very new compared to other tablets, my father's voice and smile are important in front of me.

"Ranran's new bamboo, Ranran, in the future, you must be like bamboo, be a resolute and disciplined person."

"Ranran, you are the best gift of Dad's life."

"In the future, if my daughter finds a boyfriend, she must pass my test."

"If any little boy dares to bully my daughter, I will be the first to be unhappy with him, can others bully my pearl in the palm!"

Old Man Lin patted Lin Ran's shoulder: "Ranran, if your father sees that you are so good now, he must be the proudest person in the world." ”

Lin Ran's tears burst out of her eyes.

She sniffled, leaned down, and gave her father three prostrations and nine prostrations.

Old Mrs. Lin turned her head and sobbed quietly.

After giving the salute to his father, the matter of the ancestral hall is over, and the old man Lin was going to clean up his things himself, but the ancestral hall was too cold, and Lin Ran was not at ease, after all, the old man Lin had rheumatism, and it would be uncomfortable to go home after staying in a cold place for a long time, so he wiped his eyes, snatched all the work from both soft and hard, and cleaned up the ancestral hall, and the old man Lin turned around: "Okay, Ran Ran's work is done, our ancestors and ancestors are satisfied with this year's storage!" ”
