New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
Chen Fu got up early in the morning, helped his mother clean, then posted couplets, prepared New Year's Eve dinner, and then worshiped ancestors. Her mother was a pious person, and she paid special attention to this time. She bought a bunch of paper money and incense candles early, and walked through the gate on the first floor.
The fire continued all the way to the rooftop, and a table was set up for worship at the top and bottom. According to her, the bottom one was for the earth, the top one was for the sky, and there was also the Kitchen God in the room. Chen Fu could only agree with "uh huh".
How could he understand this? He was just responsible for helping, moving things, and helping to burn incense and watch the fire. Believe it or not, as long as the mother felt at ease.
"Ding-deng, it's all my fault, how about it?"
I took a moment to look at my phone while busy. I saw that the group of friends was busy. Miao Li first sent a picture of the reunion dinner. Although it was not luxurious, there were seven or eight dishes, including fish, chicken, and small seafood, and some were made by hand.
The dumplings look quite rich, and they are specially arranged on the plate to whet your appetite.
When Chen Fu saw the dumplings, he remembered that Miao Li was not a local and eating dumplings was not popular here. Last year, her family went back to her hometown, but this year, with her father's condition, it was unrealistic to go back. However, she made a
Zhang's family photo came out. She and her parents looked very happy. Her father, in particular, looked much better and was no longer as thin as when he was in the hospital. There should be no problem.
"Wow, the dumplings are so delicious. I really want to eat them."
"Lin Lin, where is your butchered vegetable?"
"It's too ugly. I won't let you see it. Let me show you the heavy snow here."
Lin Lin took a short video as soon as she disagreed.
Chen Fu clicked on it and saw the sky outside the window with flying catkins. On the ground, the house was covered with a thick layer of white snow, making the whole house look alive.
A world full of ice and snow. She said at that time that it was very cold over there in her hometown, and it seemed she was being honest.
"It's time to eat, it's time to light firecrackers."
Zhang Ni showed a shot of just a few seconds. On the main road in the village, several families took turns setting off firecrackers, which made the firecrackers burst into flames.
"Oh, it's boring. It's so annoying."
Wang Shu was not at home. It looked like it was a family gathering. A large box was reserved for four or five tables, all of which were filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas. However, he did not look very happy because there were many elders present, so he could not waste time, so he could only
Sitting peacefully, he sent out several bored expressions resentfully.
Luo Yongliang is unusually calm. His father is a veteran and hates others playing with their mobile phones at the dinner table, so he is probably drinking with them now. By the way, as far as Chen Fu knows, his father is still a drinker.
A master, he can only blush after drinking two to three kilograms of white wine. Luo Yongliang inherited this gene, so he has a heavy drinking capacity. This is why Li Hui and Wang Shu like to go out with him. If they can't drink, they will never go to him.
wrong.
"Oh--"
Chen Fu sat on the wall of the rooftop, watching his friends lively chatting about their own New Year's Eve or other people's interesting things, which was quite interesting.
However, without Li Hui, there is still a bit less noisy.
Chen Fu asked, but unfortunately he said he would not come back this year and would have to follow his cousin to pay New Year greetings. After all, the first year is particularly critical, and now I am afraid they will be inseparable.
A little further away, the family named Ji also came back. Under the bright lights, you could vaguely hear the happy laughter of the whole family. Speaking of which, I haven’t heard the girl’s zheng music for a long time. I don’t know if she has come back.
?Will there be another song tonight? Chen Fu thought.
"Ayi——"
"ah?"
Chen Fu jumped down quickly. If his mother saw him sitting in such a dangerous posture, I'm afraid she would have to scold him bloody even during the Chinese New Year.
"Your sister's phone number, hurry up——"
"oh!"
Chen Fu responded, turned around and went downstairs.
It's a clear sky tonight, with few clouds and many stars, and a bright moon hanging high. It should be a good year.
Under the same sky, the old man looked up at the sky, counted with his fingers, and said silently, "Nangong's destiny star shines, Xiluo River, Dongfang Wood Dragon, Beidou will not move; if there are ghosts and ghosts in the beginning, punish them in the end, small evils and big good lucks.
Well, as time goes by, we must get rid of the old and replace the old with the new. My son, there should be a good year next year."
Inside the house, candles formed a large circle. Although the lights were not turned on, the light of more than two thousand candles still made the entire spacious room as bright as day.
The young man was sitting next to him in the middle, as if he was sleeping with his eyes closed.
The old man watched alone for a while, and then turned back to the house. He took a candle from the table, and magically lit it with a casual wave in the air. Then he bent down with some difficulty and placed it on the ground in front of the young man.
, "As you get older, you can't eat too fatty, too salty, or too sweet. You have to control your drinking, and you can't smoke cigarettes. Life loses a lot of fun. The only advantage is that you don't have to be extravagant and wasteful, but it's a bit wrong, right?
It's a bit shabby to live with you..."
The young man remained silent without any reaction.
The old man slowly sat down and looked at him, with soft eyes, "Oh, I am old man. Although it is a bit gross, I still need to have a sense of ritual. Son -"
