Over the years, I have been secretly visiting graves.
This year the policy has been liberalized, and many families are visiting graves.
Grandpa Su also generously took his children and grandchildren with him.
Chen Zian was not willing to lag behind. Someone who didn't have to go actually went there with Chen Xiuyuan in his arms, saying that he wanted to show his ancestors Chen Xiuyuan!
When the paper money burned in the afterglow of the setting sun, it gave off a bright fire, which made Grandpa Su's face turn red.
Grandpa Su said with emotion: "Over the years, our ancestors have been wronged underground."
"It's okay, Dad, life will be better from now on!" Boss Su said.
I just don’t know if what he said means that life is easier for the living or for the dead!
After Grandpa Su visited the graves of his ancestors one by one, he suddenly squatted down again and drew a small circle on the open space of his ancestors' graves.
Su Lao Er was confused and was about to ask a question, but he was stopped by Su Lao Er with quick eyes and hands.
"For my little sister!"
Grandpa Su didn't say anything, he silently nodded a pile of paper money, got up and was about to go home.
Everyone in the Su family was also silent, not knowing what to say.
Just following Grandpa Su down the mountain quietly, the three brothers of the Su family glanced at the small circle a few more times.
All the brothers and sisters in the family are reunited, except for the little sister.
It would be a lie to say that I am not sad.
Everyone is gone. Even if you did something wrong back then, you will gradually forget it over time, but the memory will grow day by day.
I don’t know if my little sister is okay underground! Has her personality changed?
How did a good family end up in such trouble?
If they had tried to persuade me properly at the beginning, maybe they wouldn't have reached that stage, right?
Thinking that Grandpa Su might be in a bad mood, the younger generations of the Su family tried their best to tease Grandpa Su.
Grandpa Su understood what his grandchildren were thinking and said, "I'm fine. I'll go home and persuade you to give me some milk!"
The old lady must be in a worse mood, right?
On the surface, she said she was going to worship the Dragon King, but in fact, she probably secretly burned paper for the little girl.
When everyone went home, Grandma Su had already gone home.
But it can be seen that her eyes are a little red.
Su Xiaotian went with Grandma Su, and she cried for a while when she learned that Grandma Su not only sacrificed the Dragon King, but also secretly burned paper for her little aunt.
In the end, it was Su Xiaotian who persuaded her to come back.
Fortunately, Grandma Su also knew that at times like this, she couldn't bring up unhappy things. When she saw Grandpa Su coming back with his children and grandchildren, a smile appeared on her face.
"Nai, this is the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner our family has had in these years, right?" Su Xiaotian said softly.
Grandma Su looked at the delicious food on the table, and the smile on her face became more sincere.
How many years have it been, oh, no, the Su family seems to have never had such a prosperous year.
"You know how to talk a lot, why don't you get ready to have dinner on the table?"
Grandma Su gently poked Su Xiaotian's forehead.
Su Xiaotian pretended to fall backward, and then hurriedly picked up the chopsticks.
The Su family came back relatively late, and they will return to the capital soon.
Therefore, they prepare many dishes but few staple food.
Fortunately, some people with good connections knew that they had no steamed New Year buns or deep-fried pancakes today, so they sent some over.
Grandma Su filled a large plate and served it all to the table.
There are two big tables, one on the kang and one on the floor.
As in previous years, the seats on the Kang were occupied by the elders.
The top is where Grandpa Su and Grandma Su are.
Next to Grandpa Su is Su Xiaotian, and next to Grandma Su is Chen Xiuyuan.
Next to Chen Xiuyuan is Su Manxiu. This arrangement is naturally to take care of the little guy.
Sitting behind them were Wang Xianghua's three sisters-in-law.
Sitting next to Su Xiaotian were Chen Zian and the three brothers from the Su family.
As for the younger generations of the Su family at the other table, they had no rules at all and just sat there casually.
The whole family sat around the table. On the table were the ten dishes Su Xiaotian said, which were perfect.
Speaking of which, it is also interesting. In the middle of the table is a braised pig head.
A whole pig's head, half on each side of two tables.
Grandma Su’s knife skills were superb. Although the pieces were cut into small pieces, the shape remained intact.
Su Xiaotian specially sprinkled a lot of red pepper shreds on it, saying it symbolized good luck.
Grandma Su actually disliked the pig head, but when she heard the four words "good luck", she didn't say anything.
In addition, there are steamed fish, stewed mutton, braised pork, sweet and sour meatballs, stir-fried fat intestines, fried liver tips, pork belly with winter fruits, stewed pheasant, stir-fried diced rabbit, and orchid-flavored venison.
The ten dishes were all meat, which made Su Xiaotian feel sick.
Su Xiaotian was busy pestering Grandma Su and made cold vegetarian dishes. She also said that one dish represents a month, and twelve dishes are just right.
Just kidding, eating all meat, how good is your appetite to eat this?
Grandma Su doted on her granddaughter the most, and finally cooked two more vegetarian dishes, and that was the end of the matter.
But Grandma Su was still mumbling: "You child, after talking about the good and the bad, now you say it's perfect, and now you talk about a dish for a month, is it possible that our family will be a rabbit for two months next year?
Can you only be vegetarian?”
Listening to Grandma Su's words, everyone laughed.
"Grandma, even if you cook thirteen, fourteen, five, six, seven or eight dishes, I can find auspicious words for you."
Su Xiaotian had a bright smile on her face.
"Okay, our family will cook sixteen dishes for the Chinese New Year next year!" Grandma Su was happy, and her smile became brighter.
Su Xiaotian knows that even this year, it is not impossible to cook sixteen dishes.
After cooking so many dishes, the seafood brought by Chen Zian and Su Manxiu from the south has not yet been put to use.
Grandpa Su finally found his precious wine, took it out and poured a glass for everyone in the family.
"Dad, please say a few words first, and then let's have a drink?" Chen Zian suggested with a smile.
"I don't have anything to say. My family is doing well this year, so I feel relieved. I just hope that next year will be as good, and every subsequent year will be as good." Grandpa Su's words were very simple, but they showed his true feelings.
Everyone laughed and said a few auspicious words, and occasionally the children made noises about asking for new year's money after dinner.
All in all, the atmosphere in the room was extremely lively.
Su Shan, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket and hat, walked to the door of Lao Su's house and listened for a while.
Such excitement has nothing to do with him.
There was a time when the relationship between the two brothers was very close. When did it become like this?
After sighing, he slowly walked home with heavy steps.
But here at Lao Su's house, the excitement is still going on.
"This kind of venison is rare even in the capital." Grandpa Su said with emotion after taking a bite of venison.
"No, the venison in the capital is all raised in captivity, so how can it taste like this?" Chen Zian said.
Su Xiaotian was thinking that in a few years, eating game would be impossible. At that time, many animals on the mountain were protected animals and could not be eaten.
"We came back in a hurry this time, and we didn't even tell you, Grandpa Dong, and others. They must blame us!"
Grandpa Su suddenly mentioned this topic, and everyone was stunned.
You had a good meal, why are you talking about this?
