Yamashita family

Chapter 34 New Years
Li Qingshan and his group went to the yamen to deal with it very smoothly. After they came out, it was not time for dinner, so the group went to buy all the things they needed to buy. Take this opportunity to buy more heavy items.

After shopping, Li Qingshan took a few people to the Hongyun Building, Li Zheng disagreed, thinking it was a waste of money, Li Qingshan insisted, but Li Zheng refused and followed into the restaurant.

Li Qingshan ordered a few more dishes that he seldom ate, most of them were meat dishes, and he also ordered a jug of wine. With Su's father and Dr. Zhang active, the meal was considered a feast for the guests and the host.

When I came back in the afternoon, I first delivered the things bought by each family to the door, and then Li Qingshan drove the ox cart home. Su Zi heard the sound of the car and came out to meet him. When he saw Su Zi, Li Qingshan jumped off the ox cart .

As soon as Su Zi walked in, he smelled a faint smell of alcohol, which showed that he didn't drink a lot, "Hurry up and unload the ox cart, you go wash up."

When Li Qingshan put the car in the side room, the cows drove to the cattle pen and mixed the fodder, Su Zi had already prepared the water and the handkerchief, and when he saw Li Qingshan came, he asked him to wash it quickly, and when he saw that he had washed it, he would wash it. After handing over the handkerchief, he opened his mouth to ask about today's affairs.

"How? Finished?"

"Okay." After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he threw a small package to Su Zi, "here, put it away."

"What?" Su Zi asked while taking it over and opening it.

"The land deed, you have taken it." Li Qingshan replied with a smile, "Are you relieved now?" He did not forget to tease Su Zi.

Su Zi opened it and took a look, then took out a small box from her dowry box, opened it, put the land deed in it solemnly, and then locked it again. This box contained important things, such as silver, Such as Wen Qi.

The end of the new year came before she knew it while she was busy. This was Su Zi's first New Year in this world, which made her feel very novel.

In modern times, when I was a child, I went back to my grandma’s house to celebrate the New Year. After returning to the city, the taste of the New Year became less and less. Su Zi still remembers that even though there was no TV when I was a child, everyone watched the New Year together and set off firecrackers together. , and then a group of children went to various houses to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. On that day, the parents would always wear clothes with large pockets, because they had to hold food such as melon seeds and peanuts.

Although I don't have much money, I'm just looking for fun. Su Zi had two cousins ​​and a cousin when she was a child. She was like a little tail running behind her cousins ​​all day long. Although the elder sister always dislikes her for being troublesome, she still takes good care of her.

She remembered that children still liked to pick up firecrackers at that time, that is, to pick up the fish that slipped through the net after being set off by others. As long as they heard the sound of any firecrackers, the big guys would immediately run over and wait for the firecrackers to finish. At this time, Su Zi always The one who lagged behind.

My cousin always said impatiently after running for a while, "It's slow, hurry up." But she would still stand there and wait for her, even if she missed the best time, she wouldn't be really angry.

Little Zhao Ke always looked up at his rosy face because of running, and looked at his cousins ​​with a smile, without any inferiority complex of being rejected, and he didn't feel that he was being held back.

Su Zi is quite looking forward to what the ancient Chinese New Year will look like.

In ancient times, it was emphasized that married daughters would not be allowed to splash water even if they often went back to their natal home. They felt that going to their natal home made their in-laws displeased, let alone going to their natal home during the holidays.

Although Li Qingshan's family has no parents or elders, Su Zi usually wants to go back to her natal home and Li Qingshan will not restrict her freedom, but when it comes to the New Year, she still has to abide by the ancient rules.

Therefore, this New Year is only Su Zi and Li Qingshan, which is a bit deserted.

But for Li Qingshan, it was already considered lively. In the past, he was alone. Watching other people's family reunions, and he was alone, seemed even more desolate.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Su Zi still set up a table full of meals, and even brought out the wine she secretly brewed before. Su Zi tasted it. Although it didn't taste like drinking in modern times, it was generally not bad. It's true, she did it after a long time of experimentation. At that time, she still secretly fiddled with Su's mother.

Su Zi used small jars to brew several jars, using mountain grapes that were not very good-looking and not in clusters, but not every jar was successful, and some of them turned sour directly, and Su Zi found it through groping. A suitable method and ratio did not let her work in vain.

Seeing a small jar brought out by Su Zi, Li Qingshan was a little puzzled. He had seen this jar before, but he didn't know what was in it. Zi always told him, but he didn't expect to take it out now.

"What is this?" Now that he took it out, Li Qingshan can also ask his doubts.

"Wine, try it and see how it tastes?" Su Zi smiled smugly.

"Wine? Could it be that you buried it when you were born?" Some families have a habit of burying a few jars of wine they made themselves when their child was born, and digging it out when the daughter grows up to marry or the son gets married. .

And daughter red is also called daughter wine, which is a must for rich families to give birth to and marry daughters, and most of them are buried under hanging flower trees.

"Of course not, our family doesn't have such conditions." Su Zi retorted with a smile, "Try it first before you talk." Su Zi said a little slyly, looking at Li Qingshan's eyes full of smiles.

Li Qingshan was a little curious, watching Su Zi pour a cup for each of them, the color turned out to be dark red.

Under Su Zi's encouraging eyes, Li Qingshan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The taste was slightly sweet, a little bit astringent, the alcohol content was not high, it had the aroma of grapes, and it was softer, more suitable for women to drink. This is Li Qingshan's first drink a feeling.

"How?" Su Zi looked at Li Qingshan expectantly, like a child waiting to be praised.

"It's a bit weird." Li Qingshan didn't know how to describe it, and then said this word, it was indeed a bit weird.

"Strange?" Su Zi frowned, how could it be strange?Then she picked up the wine glass and took a sip. To be honest, she didn't like the taste of wine very much. She always felt astringent and couldn't taste anything else.

It is estimated that Li Qingshan also feels this way, and Su Zi can understand that the taste of wine is fundamentally different from the taste of traditional wine, and it is understandable that Li Qingshan is not used to drinking it.

"What kind of wine is this?" Li Qingshan looked at Su Zi and asked.

"Wine, I made it from mountain grapes. I brewed a lot, but only two altars were successful." Su Zi was still a little frustrated when she said it. It was indeed a waste. Fortunately, she didn't tell Su Mu and the others, otherwise Su Mu would not have known about it. How can I feel bad.

"You brewed it?" Li Qingshan became interested when he heard that Su Zi brewed it himself, and took another sip. Although he still felt strange, he did not forget to comfort Su Zi, "It's good." But he said dryly .

Su Zi thought it was funny, "This wine has a small alcohol content, so it's fine for us to drink a little. Drinking a glass every day can help you sleep, and it's good for women." Su Zi explained.

Then Su Zi raised her wine glass, looked at Li Qingshan and said with a smile: "To our first New Year!" To my first ancient New Year, Su Zi added silently in her heart.

Li Qingshan looked at Su Zi with gentle eyes all day long. He has his own home, someone to accompany him, someone who waits for him to go home every day, someone who washes and cooks for him, and someone who cooks for him. A table of meals to accompany myself during the Chinese New Year.

Under the dim light, Su Zi's face seemed to be shrouded in soft light, with a smile on her brows and eyes, beautiful and warm. It's great to have you with me this New Year!
