Yan Yan saw that there were four futons in the open space in front of the Taishi chair, and when he guessed that the rule of the Lu family was to salute first, he saw Lu Duan first kneeling down with Lu Zhu, "My son kowtows to his mother for the New Year, and I wish my mother more health and longevity every year." ”

"Okay, good, I also wish my son a safe and smooth life, and I also borrow Yan'er's words, everywhere the horse's hooves go is good news." After the old lady finished speaking, she turned her face away, took a deep breath, looked up and stayed for a moment, and then took out two gold bills from the basket next to her and gave them to her two sons.

"Mother is relieved first, this battle may not be able to be fought for a while and a half, even if it does, her son is also the commander of one side, and he may not be on the battlefield in person." Lu Duan knew what his mother was worried about, and said in a low voice.

"Please also rest assured that if this day comes, the son will come to the front line for the eldest brother, and he will not disappoint his mother's expectations." Lu Zhu made a guarantee.

"Don't talk about these things for the New Year." The old lady took another breath, and of course she knew that the two sons had said this for her relief.

In fact, her son has even set the date of departure, so next year's Chinese New Year's Eve is afraid that he will not be able to appear in front of her again.

Or, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the year after tomorrow is difficult to say, and she has passed the year of the flower armor, who knows how many Chinese New Year's Eves there will be?

Seeing that this topic was really too heavy, Zhu was afraid that the old lady would not be able to cry for a while, so he hurriedly pulled Huang to kneel on the right half step behind her husband.

"The daughter-in-law kowtows to her mother to pay New Year's greetings, and I wish my mother a happy four-star happiness, and children and grandchildren come from all over the house to worship." Zhu took the lead and said.

"Okay, my eldest daughter-in-law can also speak, come, and give you a sure wish." After the old lady finished speaking, she also gave each of her two daughters-in-law a gold bill.

Lu Ming saw that the old lady finally had a little smile on her face, and hurriedly beckoned Lu You, Lu Yong, Lu Wei and others to kneel down, Yan Yan also learned from Zhu's kneeling on the right rear side of Lu You, on this occasion, it was naturally not her turn to speak, there was Lu Ming.

No, Lu Ming knelt down, folded his hands flat, high above his head, and said loudly: "Grandson wishes grandmother a new year, a long life of honor, and children and grandchildren, keep the year together, and have fun every year." ”

As soon as the words fell, he leaned over and kowtowed, so Yan Yan and his party also kowtowed.

The old lady looked at the children and grandchildren in front of her, and finally had a smile on her face, "Okay, good, borrow my grandson's auspicious words, grandmother, you can live a healthy life until you marry wives and have children one by one, and you will be content." ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, you still have to stay with your grandchildren for a long time, so your old man will definitely be able to live a long and healthy life." Lu Ming took the conversation.

Fang Cai has always been in the warm pavilion Yan has been opportunistically currying favor with the old man, and he has not been able to speak, so Lu Ming will also take this opportunity to coax the old lady to be happy.

He is still very confident in this, his position in the heart of the old man is by no means something that Yan Yan can shake with a few rhetoric and a few novelty things, so he is silent, not because he can't steal the limelight, but because he disdains to grab it.

Yan Yan naturally knew this truth well, so when she saw that the pair of ancestors and grandchildren were also happy to say auspicious words, she didn't speak, but just listened quietly.

Later, the old lady also gave these children and grandchildren a gold coin each, and then Lu Duan, Zhu, Lu Zhu, and Huang also sat on the high chair respectively, and it was still Lu Ming who took the lead in leading everyone to kowtow to several elders, and the elders still gave a gold coin to each other.

After that, it was the maids who kowtowed to their masters, and after this round was over, Lu Duan led the men in the family to sit on the table of eight immortals in the east, and the old lady led the Zhu family and others to sit in the west.

After taking their seats, the maids began to shuttle to the table to send things, first Tu Su wine, the so-called Tu Su wine, is a kind of medicinal wine soaked in rhubarb, atractylodes, cinnamon branches, parsnip, pepper, and other traditional Chinese medicines, specially drunk during the New Year, it is said to have the effect of nourishing and warding off evil spirits.

Yan Yan is very clear about the custom of drinking Tusu wine during the New Year, and what Tusu wine is mentioned more than once in the ancient poems recited by later generations, but she didn't have the opportunity to see it at that time.

In addition to Tusu wine, there is also acacia soup, which is boiled with acacia flowers, and there are also a lot of medicinal herbs in it, Yan Yan can recognize red dates angelica, it is said that this soup can nourish blood and calm the nerves, but this soup on Chinese New Year's Eve takes the meaning of its family joy.

In addition to these two, there are two plates of glutinous rice on the table, sweet, two colors, the shape is a bit like Ruyi, it should be printed with a mold, there are words on it, there are blessings, hair, happiness, wealth, etc., the name is also good, called Ruyi cake.

Of course, in addition to these things, there are also various dishes, such as chicken, duck and fish, and a full table is placed.

Yan Yan felt more satisfied that she could finally sit down and eat this meal, and she no longer had to stand to make cloth and vegetable maids, and because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the rule of not saying anything at the dinner table was broken.

No, after Lu Ming personally poured wine for everyone, the old lady picked up the cup first, "Fusheng has passed sixty, looking back, the situation is like Feihong, in the blink of an eye, the children and grandchildren are full, I am old, the Lu family will rely on you in the future, come, everyone raise a glass, I hope that from now on, everything will go smoothly and win as before." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Lu took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup.

Seeing this, everyone also raised their glasses, some deep and some shallow, and no one forced them to toast, because there were many children here. And Yan Yan didn't know how much he drank, so he only drank half a glass.

After this cup, it was the turn of the younger generations to toast the elders, first Lu Duan held the pot, Lu Zhu followed with the cup, the two walked to the old lady, bowed down to fill the wine glass for the old lady, "The mother is not old, the son is still waiting for the mother to teach at all times, and the son wishes the mother a long life and a long life, and will always be rich and prosperous." ”

After speaking, Lu Duan also took the wine glass and drank it all, and Lu Zhu drank with him.

After Lu Duan Lu Zhu, then Lu You Lu Ming took Lu Yong in the second room to squeeze in front of the old lady, after Lu Ming finished saying his greeting, the old lady looked at Lu You Lu Ming in front and said: "Grandmother's biggest wish this year is to live in the same house for four generations, Da Lang Erlang, you shouldn't let your grandmother down, right?" ”

"Back to my grandmother, this task is still handed over to the eldest brother, and it will take me a few months to marry a wife." Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand.

His wedding date had already been calculated by the monks, and it was set for March 16, and even if he no longer had the knowledge to do so, he knew that a woman would be ten months pregnant, so it was unlikely that he would become a father in the next year.

"Me?" Lu You involuntarily turned her head to look at Yan Yan, Yan Yan turned her head away, she couldn't answer this kind of question.
