Chapter 117

The old uncle’s family brought so many mouths, and they didn’t eat and drink for free. They brought a lot of meat and vegetables, and snacks that the Song family didn’t make, such as lotus root balls, leek boxes, glutinous rice cakes, etc. No matter how late the New Year's Eve dinner is, you won't be hungry.The old aunt also didn't see out, and after entering the house to exchange greetings, she took her two daughters-in-law and the youngest daughter to help in the kitchen, as if she was at home.Su Wan also followed everyone into the kitchen, quietly covering her mouth and chewing lotus root balls. Song Ziheng stuffed them for her when she was not prepared, saying that when she came out of the kitchen, these foods would be gone. their combat effectiveness.

It was busy for an hour or two, around Xu time, the New Year's Eve dinner was finally served, the table was piled up, there were so many dishes and bowls that it could hardly fit, and some bowls were stacked up, and the fragrance filled the whole hall.

The gate of the courtyard was opened, and firecrackers were set off outside. Since the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, every household has been setting off firecrackers. The sound is one after another, like a relay race. It is known that everyone almost eats the New Year's Eve dinner at this time.

On the front wall of the main room, in front of the table, incense candles were lit, wine was poured, and a group of people kowtowed in turn. When they arrived at Su Wan's place, Father Song also said that women were not included in the family tree, so he introduced her to Su Wan at this time. The ancestors know each other, and more importantly, ask for blessings. Su Wan also listened to her a little bit. The old man Song's words are very profound, even better than classical Chinese. There are a few sentences that probably mean our daughter-in-law, please ancestors bless your children and grandchildren, etc. of.She didn't make a sound, and obediently followed Song Ziheng to kneel down and worship.

The ancestors were invited to eat, and everyone started to start. The family was happy and happy, and Song's mother was also generous, asking Mrs. Zhang to bring a jar of wine out of the house, and even several boys poured it out. After drinking half a cup, it can be seen how happy Mother Song is today.

Although the New Year's Eve dinner didn't last until the early morning hours, it was almost the same. The main reason was that there was wine, so Father Song and his brothers started chatting. Happy, just joking aside, constantly persuading them to drink, Song and the others drank high, finished drinking a jar of wine, and brought out another jar of water and wine. Drunk, it's completely fun.

There is no need for Song's mother and old aunt to clean the table. Several daughters-in-law can do it well. Those who boil the water, those who wash the dishes wash the dishes, and those who wipe the table wipe the table. Separated family, the New Year's money Song's mother and the others just gave it, but Su Wan is a newly married wife, and it is the first time to send off her nephews and nieces. This money is justified, she miscalculated that Song Ziheng's two cousins ​​will also bring their children tonight, While washing the dishes, I found an excuse to go back to the house and took a few more red envelopes. Because I didn't know how many children Song Ziheng's relatives had, Mrs. Su just prepared as many red envelopes as possible. It's fine, it won't break if you let it go, and you can use it in the future.

It is said to be a red envelope, but it is actually a few copper coins wrapped in red paper. Su Wan originally gave eight copper coins to her nephews, which is a homonym for "fa", but now the grandchildren of the old uncle's family came and gave this It doesn't matter to count her, but I'm afraid that too many will make them think, and she can't give a different number. After thinking about it, it's a good sign for each person to give six, six or six.
