After dinner, Xu Su consciously packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen.

I heard Chen Shulan coaxing Xu Yang in the living room, asking him to change his shoes and go out quickly.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, although Xu Weiguo has not yet had a holiday, he does not need to work overtime at night, and the two of them went out and took Xu Yang to buy new clothes for the New Year.

Although the conditions of their family are not good, they have always been willing to spend money on their only son, and other families may buy clothes for their children to be one size larger, but the children will grow too fast and grow up after not wearing them a few times.

But Chen Shulan and her family have never been reluctant to wronged their son, and Xu Yang has never worn ill-fitting clothes since he was a child.

Every time the season changes, or every New Year's holiday, I must buy a new set or two of clothes for my son to wear.

The family of three went out shopping lively, and no one came to ask Xu Su, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, if he also wanted to buy new clothes for the New Year.

Xu Su didn't care, washed the dishes, wiped all the grease clean, and then returned to his room.

The door lock of the new room was intact, and Xu Su locked the door as soon as he entered.

I started to study the functions of the new phone, and I got tired of it in three or two clicks.

In this period, mobile phones can only use GPRS to surf the Internet, and for Xu Su, only text messages, phone calls, and alarm clock functions are practical.

On the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Xu Su learned the phone number of his eldest cousin Chen Le from Chen Shulan, Chen Le went to Pengcheng to work after graduating from high school, and he has used his mobile phone when he goes home for the New Year this year.

On the morning of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Su quietly dialed the phone in the room, greeted a series of relatives at his grandmother's house, and repeatedly confirmed that Grandma Xu was in good health.

This year, she is still the same as in previous years, spending the New Year at her two sons' houses, and both uncles are extremely filial, and Xu Su has nothing to worry about.

When Chen Le asked her if she wanted to call her grandmother to answer the phone, Xu Su hesitated for a few seconds, but still refused, and talked to her grandmother, and she couldn't hang up for a while, but the family was about to wake up.

Xu Su told Chen Le that this phone number could contact her, and if there was any urgency, she could call this number.

After Xu Weiping and Chen Shulan got up, the family was dressed neatly and prepared to go to the Xu family's old house.

Xu Weiping was holding a box of fruits, Chen Shulan carried a bag of tobacco and alcohol gifts, except for the young Xu Yang, even Xu Su carried a big bag full of New Year's goods.

Xia Sheng Road is less than 20 minutes away from their new home by bus.

As soon as she entered the house, the little aunt was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and when she heard the movement, she said hello happily.

Grandma Xu also walked out of the kitchen, took the things in their hands, and complained on the surface, but actually ironed and said: "Just be polite, every time you come back, you don't come back empty-handed, just keep good things for Yangyang to eat, your parents are old, what else can you eat." ”

Xu Weiping smiled, "This time I brought two bottles of good wine, and my dad loves to drink it, and when he doesn't drink it during the New Year." ”

As the 'most' promising son in the family, every time he goes back to the old house, he is willing to rush to the big head, and he can't find a sense of existence outside, but at home, he is a very promising 'son' and 'brother'.

In the old mansion, the two brothers Xu Weiguo and Xu Jiandang were chatting with the old man, setting up a shelf for a fire, and Xu Weiguo's two sons, three generations of grandchildren and grandchildren, were surrounded by Xu Weiguo, which was very lively.

As for Xu Xiaogu, she will not return to her parents' house for the Chinese New Year, and will not take her husband and children back to her parents' house for New Year's greetings until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Seeing that Xu Weiping's family had arrived, the old man smiled even more happily, took out a handful of toffee from his pocket, and coaxed the little grandson in new clothes: "Come, Yangyang, come to grandpa." ”

As the youngest grandson of the Xu family, Xu Yang is a treasure in the whole family, and he was hugged by Old Man Xu and took a few sips of affectionate incense.

Xu Su stood next to him and looked at it a few times, just about to find a stool to sit on.

Chen Shulan pulled her and said, "Let's go, go to the kitchen with my mother, girls have to learn to work." ”

“.”

Xu Su had no choice but to follow Chen Shulan to the kitchen.

Then he was assigned the job of washing vegetables.

In those days, not many families had access to 24-hour hot water, at least not at home.

Looking at the cold water, Xu Su wanted to find a pair of gloves, but was reprimanded by Chen Shulan for being hypocritical, "What gloves do you want?" No one in our family uses that, so it's cold when we just go into the water, so it's good to get used to it, wash it quickly, and wait for the stir-fry to start cooking. ”

So, the men of the Xu family chatted in the hall, and the women were busy in the kitchen preparing wine and food for them.

It's been like this all these years, but before the two daughters-in-law were busy with the three of them who were Grandma Xu, and this year, there is a granddaughter Xu Su.

Eat on time at 12 o'clock at noon, and before starting, a roll of firecrackers was placed at the gate of the courtyard.

This family reunion is still a separate table for men and women, and the small table made by the women has less than half of the dishes at the big table.

Xu Su grew up very quickly this year, especially in the second half of the year, and her last height in her last life was 1.68 meters, which was two years old in the first and second years of high school.

She ate a lot during her growth period, and she thought to herself that she had been busy all morning, and no matter how much she ate, she was worthy of it.

After unceremoniously eating a big bowl of rice, I ate 20 dumplings, and finally sent a bowl of bone broth before putting down the chopsticks.

When he was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he was stopped by his little aunt Yang Yun: "I'm busy with your mother here, Su Su, my aunt entrusts you with something, you go to tutor my eldest in homework, I was fine in elementary school before, but after I went to junior high school, I didn't pass the exam, and if I don't study hard, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get into high school." ”

This matter was obviously not a temporary idea, but I saw that Yang Yun's words had just been finished, and Xu Weiguo, who was drinking on the big table, heard it sensitively.

Xu Weiguo patted Xu Hao's shoulder, "Go!" Let your sister teach you, if you don't understand any questions, ask your sister, if you give me another few points to take the test next year, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”

was slapped on the shoulder by his father, Xu Hao, who was still a little angry, immediately became honest, and he looked at Xu Su with bad eyes: "Let's go, you don't have to wash the dishes." ”

Xu Su, who was inexplicably 'cheap': ."

The old mansion of the Xu family has a total of four rooms, one room for the old two, one room for the eldest uncle Xu Jiandan, one room for the uncle Xu Weiguo and his wife, and one room for Xu Hao and his younger brother.

Their room is very messy, the old house is not well lit, it is not breathable, and it has been rainy recently, Xu Su smelled a musty smell as soon as he entered.

The desk against the wall has a lot of books, and it looks like a student's room.

As soon as Xu Su came in, Xu Hao turned on the light and closed the door again.

After doing this in one go, Xu Hao sat on the bed, looking at her with disdain on his face: "Just be pretty, I don't need you to teach, don't sue my father, otherwise"

Xu Hao raised his fist.
