Chapter 129 Keep the year old and learn how to call a pig!
Even if they don’t let people celebrate the New Year, it’s okay to eat better than them, and the words are so nice. The more I listen to them, the more envious and jealous they become!
Ah ah ah, why are other people's children so popular? Forget it, I have some dishes at home anyway, so I think it's a good news for myself, hehe.
Everyone shook their heads and continued working happily.
At the same time, all the younger members of the Old Song family were standing at the door of the main room, and the elders were standing in the main room. Grandpa Song and Grandma Song took out the white wine they had collected and poured it into the bowls placed thoughtfully on the table.
After everything was done, Grandpa Song stood at the door of his house and called, "Ancestors, come home for dinner!" He shouted four or five times in a row, and then the whole family waited respectfully for three minutes.
This custom has been like this since Song Zhizhi can remember. It is probably a simple version of ancestor worship and gratitude.
Every time at this time, everyone is most impatient and eager to wait. When the three minutes are up, Grandpa Song pours several bowls of white wine on the ground one by one.
Then it was time to set off firecrackers.
Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and congratulations on the new year!
Because the ground was covered with snow, a bamboo pole was wrapped around it. Song Aiguo held it up and his third uncle lit the fire. In an instant, red smoke exploded, crackling throughout the sky and shocking everyone's eardrums.
After the firecrackers were set off, the family suddenly laughed and rushed to their tables, "Hey, it's time to eat, it's time to eat, I'm so hungry, so hungry, Happy New Year!"
The sound of firecrackers from the neighbors also started to be heard, and the whole secluded mountain village was filled with noise, making it very lively and festive.
Song Zhizhi was also placed at the children's table. Zhou Xiuxiu and Grandma Song were also there. She looked at the table full of favorite food and was ready to move.
In addition to the roasted pork, steamed pork with rice flour, stuffed pork with sand, glutinous rice balls, and bacon that we have eaten before, there is also the newly made white chopped chicken, which is a famous appetizer. It is similar to the shredded chicken and is very delicious.
There are also beer duck, twice-cooked pork, boiled pork slices... Song Zhizhi was so dazzled that she didn't know where to start.
But wherever her eyes wandered, there was a brother who put vegetables into the bowl for her. So with everyone's endless love, Song Zhizhi tasted the entire table of dishes.
After one lap, I feel ninety percent full.
Finally, a bowl of kidney bean, pork trotters and potato slices soup was served to finish the meal.
The kidney beans were soaked overnight and stewed until soft, and the potato slices were boiled when the sun was at its strongest in summer, then peeled and cut into thick slices to be dried in the sun and collected.
When put into the soup, the gritty texture of the potato slices is a bit more chewy, but they are also filled with various ingredients such as bacon trotters and mixed into one pot of soup, which is very delicious.
She finished a bowl and waited for everyone to finish before leaving the table.
As expected, it was another happy study time in the afternoon, but several brothers were ordered by their friends from the same village to go out and play with firecrackers, and Song Zhizhi did not go.
When it comes to dinner, usually people in rural areas just heat up the leftovers from lunch and eat them, and they don’t pay as much attention to it as the reunion dinner.
But because there were too many people in the Lao Song family, there were no leftovers at all, so they had to cook everything from scratch. Fortunately, the meat and vegetables were all prepared in advance and only needed to be steamed in a steamer.
Because it was dinner, there were fewer types of vegetarian dishes, but the portions were larger and enough for the whole family.
After dinner, everything was cleaned up, and the whole family sat in a big circle in the stove room with a fire in the middle. Everyone chatted together, warmed up, and began to watch the New Year's Eve.
In addition to the fire, there were three kerosene lamps, making the whole room look red and warm.
Grandpa Song mysteriously took out a stack of red envelopes from his arms, "Boss, second child... seventh child, Zhizhi, look at it. Grandpa has prepared new year's money for you this year, but there is a big one in the red envelope. You
Whoever stays up till the end of the year, the biggest one will belong to him!"
"Hahaha, Dad, you are really..."
Song Aiguo couldn't help laughing and took out a stack of red envelopes from his bag.
"Hey, uncle, I've prepared it too, but the rules between you and me are different. In addition to the New Year's money, each of us also has an extra red envelope. Whoever performs a show will get it!"
"That's good, hahaha, boss, you are the eldest brother, you come first!" The auntie echoed, and Boss Song looked embarrassed when he was named.
Song Zhizhi:......
That's good, but as she is an adult, she would find it very interesting to be amused by a group of dolls. She is naturally thick-skinned, but the others, who are really children, would probably be too shy.
As she expected, every brother she looked at was anxious, eager, eager for red envelopes, and anxious to perform.
"I...I don't know anything, why don't I perform a poem recitation?" Mr. Song was closely watched by his parents. In the end, he had to compromise and thought for a long time to come up with one.
Everyone just wanted to have fun, no matter what show he performed, they all nodded in agreement.
So under everyone's gaze, Mr. Song memorized an ancient poem with New Year's greetings, which was "New Year's Eve Party at the Residence of Zhang Shaofu in Lecheng" by Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty.
It seemed that the eldest brother had done well in extracurricular development. Song Zhizhi smiled. The first red envelope was taken away by the eldest brother without any surprise. Then came the second red envelope. Song Laoer was even more uneasy and chose to tell a joke.
But it was too cold, so I just gave up.
The brothers at the back were no longer confident. Song Zhizhi raised her hand, "Oh, if this keeps up, the red envelope will be gone! Uncle, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
She stepped forward with full confidence, and everyone was full of expectations. After all, Song Zhizhi knows so much, and her performance must be the best.
As soon as she stood up, Song Laosi and Song Laowu twitched their eyes and whispered to her to get down.
"Zhizhi, leave a way for brother to survive. If you perform, why should we perform!"
"Yes, yes, Zhizhi, let us go first!"
However, Song Zhizhi just pretended that he couldn't see it, and the others were happy to grab it. Aunt Wu directly pressed Song Laowu's button, "Let my sister come first. You are the brother, how can you grab it!"
After saying that, he motioned to Song Zhizhi to continue.
Song Zhizhi smiled mysteriously, and then glanced at everyone, "I recently learned a new skill, which is to imitate a pig's roar, which is very similar to it. It's exactly the same!"
Learn how to bray like a pig!?
Everyone:???
This is not the Song Zhizhi they know!
However, several brothers became interested, especially Song Laowu, who burst out laughing, "Zhizhi, when did you learn to howl like a pig? It's exactly the same. I don't believe it. Your voice is so thin, how can it sound like a pig!"
So Song Zhizhi immediately turned around and repeated what he said.
Everyone:???
Song Laowu, "Why are you repeating what I said?"
Song Zhizhi, "Why are you repeating what I said?"
Song Laowu:???
Everyone suddenly realized:!!!
In an instant, seeing Song Laowu confused and confused, Song Zhizhi was so proud that everyone burst into laughter, especially Song Laoqi, who leaned forward and backward, "Hahaha, Fifth Brother, Zhizhi said you are a pig!"
