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

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

The New Year was approaching, and although Xu Weiguo had not yet taken a holiday, he did not need to work overtime at night. The couple went out together and took Xu Yang to buy new clothes for the New Year.

Although their family's conditions are not very good, they are always willing to spend money on their only son. Other families may buy clothes that are one size larger for their children, but the child will grow too fast and will outgrow the clothes after only a few wears.

But Chen Shulan and her husband were never willing to wrong their son. Xu Yang had never worn ill-fitting clothes since he was a child.

Every time the season changes or every new year comes, I must buy one or two new sets of clothes for my son to wear.

The family of three went shopping in a lively manner, but 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. After washing the dishes and wiping away all the grease, he 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 mobile phone, but after a few moments I got tired of it.

Mobile phones of this period could only use GPRS to access the Internet. For Xu Su, only text messages, phone calls, and alarm clock functions were practical.

On the night of the 29th of the twelfth 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. This year, he went home to celebrate the New Year and already used a mobile phone.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Xu Su quietly dialed the phone in her room. After greeting a series of relatives at her grandma's house, she confirmed again and again that grandma Xu was in good health.

This year she spent the Chinese New Year at her two sons' homes as in previous years. Both uncles were extremely filial, so Xu Su had nothing to worry about.

When Chen Le asked her if she wanted to call her grandma to answer the phone, Xu Su hesitated for a few seconds, but still refused. She would not be able to hang up the phone for a while, but her family would soon wake up.

Xu Su told Chen Le that she could be reached at this phone number and that if there was any emergency, she could call this number.

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

Xu Weiping carried a box of fruits, and Chen Shulan carried a bag of tobacco and alcohol gifts. Except for the young Xu Yang, even Xu Su carried a large bag full of new year's goods.

Xiasheng Road is less than twenty minutes away from their new home by bus.

As soon as we entered the house, the little aunt was chopping vegetables in the kitchen. She came out when she heard the noise and said hello cheerfully.

Grandma Xu also walked out of the kitchen, took what they had in hand, and she complained on the surface, but in reality she said calmly: "You're welcome, don't come back empty-handed every time, just keep some good things for Yangyang to eat, your dad

Mom is old, what else can she do to eat?"

Xu Weiping smiled and said, "This time I brought two bottles of good wine. My dad likes to take a sip. I will drink it anytime during the Chinese New Year."

As the 'most' promising son in the family, he is willing to make a big deal every time he returns to his old home. He has a sense of presence that cannot be found outside, but at home, he is the most promising 'son' and 'brother'.

In the hall of the old house, two brothers, Xu Weiguo and Xu Jiandang, were chatting with the old man. They set up a grill to warm themselves by the fire. They were also surrounded by Xu Weiguo's two sons and three generations of grandparents. It was very lively.

As for Aunt Xu, she won’t go back to her parents’ home during the Chinese New Year. She will wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year before taking her husband and children back to her parents’ home to pay New Year greetings.

Seeing Xu Weiping's family arriving, the old man smiled even more heartily. He took out a handful of toffee from his pocket and coaxed to his grandson in new clothes: "Come on, Yangyang, come to grandpa."

As the youngest grandson of the Xu family, Xu Yang is a treasure in the whole family. He was hugged by Mr. Xu and kissed him affectionately for a few times.

Xu Su stood aside and looked at it for a few times, and was about to find a stool to sit on.

Chen Shulan gave her a tug and said, "Let's go to the kitchen with mom to help. Girls have to learn to work."

"."

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

Then I was assigned the task of washing dishes.

In this day and age, not many people have access to 24-hour hot water, at least not many.

Looking at the cold water, Xu Su wanted to look for a pair of gloves, but Chen Shulan scolded her with a pretentious saying, "What kind of gloves do you want? No one in our family uses those, so it's just colder when you first get into the water. You'll get used to it. Wash it quickly."

, waiting for the cooking to start."

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

It has been this way all these years, but before, the two daughters-in-law and the mother-in-law, Grandma Xu, were busy, but this year, there was an additional granddaughter, Xu Su.

We had dinner on time at 12 noon, and before starting, we also set off a roll of firecrackers at the entrance of the courtyard.

At this family reunion, men and women still had separate tables. The small table made by women had half the amount of food than the big table.

Xu Su has grown very fast this year, especially in the second half of her life. Her last height in her previous life was 1.68 meters, which she grew during her freshman and sophomore years in high school.

She eats a lot during her growth period, and she thinks that she has been busy all morning, and no matter how much she eats, she deserves it.

After unceremoniously eating a large bowl of rice, I ate twenty dumplings, and finally I was given a bowl of bone soup before I put down my chopsticks.

When she was about to clear away the dishes, she was stopped by her little aunt Yang Yun: "Your mother and I are busy here, Su Su, my aunt asked you to help my eldest son with his homework. He was fine in elementary school before, but now he is in junior high school."

After that, I never passed the exam, and if I don’t study hard, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to pass the high school exam.”

This matter was obviously not an impromptu idea. As soon as Yang Yun finished speaking, Xu Weiguo, who was drinking at the big table, heard it with keen ears.

Xu Weiguo patted Xu Hao on the shoulder, "Go! Let your sister teach you. If you have any questions you don't understand, ask your sister. If you give me a higher score next year, I will beat you to death!"

Xu Hao was slapped hard on the shoulder by his own father. Xu Hao, who was still a little angry at first, immediately became honest. He looked at Xu Su with a bad look in his eyes: "Let's go, it will be easier for you not to wash the dishes."

Xu Su, who was 'cheap' for no reason: "."

The Xu family's old house has a total of four rooms, one for the elderly couple, one for the uncle Xu Jiandang, one for the brother-in-law Xu Weiguo and his wife, and one for Xu Hao and his younger brother.

Their room was very messy. The old house had no lighting, no ventilation, and it had been rainy recently. Xu Su smelled a musty smell as soon as he entered.

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

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

After finishing all this in one go, Xu Hao sat on the bed and looked at her with disdain on his face: "Just show off, I don't need you to teach me, don't complain to my dad, or else"

Xu Hao raised his fist.
