Chapter 101 The Great Events of the Country, Sacrifice and Rong
It's New Year's Eve again!

Outside the house, there are rumbling firecrackers and fireworks.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Le's family gathered in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Although the Spring Festival Gala is getting uglier every year, it is a tradition of Su Le's family. When the Spring Festival Gala is over, it happens to be early in the morning, and Su Le will go to the ancestral hall with his father to pay respects to the ancestors.

"Is this magic trick treating us as fools?"

In front of the TV station, the magician was performing magic tricks, and Su Yue couldn't help complaining.

"Why wasn't it Qian Qian who performed it? He performed very well. It's time to witness a miracle. I still remember this sentence."

Su's father usually watched the anti-Japanese war movies broadcast by Sichuan TV station most of the time besides the news broadcast of CCTV. Even he knew this sentence. One can imagine how popular Mouqian's magic was back then.

"It is said that the magician was banned because he knelt down to the Japanese in a Tang suit when he went to Japan to participate in the show." Su Yue answered while eating fruit.

"That's it, then it should be sealed."

Su's father is a patriotic man with strong roots. Hearing that he knelt down to Little Japan, that's okay.

When Su Le heard the conversation between her elder sister and her father, she shook her head secretly. These are all rumors, and they are really going to be blocked. How could it come out again two years ago.

To put it bluntly, magic requires creativity, and the Spring Festival Gala is under a lot of pressure. If you can’t create a good work, it’s normal that you can’t choose the Spring Festival Gala. It’s better than smashing your own brand.

Otherwise, the 19 Spring Festival Gala would not come up with a magic trick that has been performed elsewhere.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala rather boringly, when she saw the singing show, Su Le's eyes froze when she saw one of the stars appearing on the stage.

Shen Jiaxin actually appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, which was beyond his expectation.

He knew that Shen Jiaxin was an artist, but he thought that she should be a starlet outside the third tier, but he didn't expect to be able to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

"It's Shen Jiaxin, she's at the Spring Festival Gala." Su Yue also saw Shen Jiaxin on TV. Shen Jiaxin was wearing a princess dress, looking youthful and energetic.

"Isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Tong family?"

Su's mother is also leaning over at this moment, but Su Le is puzzled, Tong's daughter-in-law?

Is Shen Jiaxin married?

"Mom, the Tong family's daughter-in-law is a character in a TV series played by someone else, and her name is Shen Jiaxin." Su Yue was a little funny. She recommended this TV series to her mother to pursue.

"Anyway, I knew she was the daughter-in-law of the Tong family. The little girl acted very well. She found a boyfriend as soon as she graduated. That's right."

Hearing this, Su Le's heart skipped a beat, and he fell silent.

"This Spring Festival Gala is getting boring, let's go play chess."

"Row."

Su Le was also afraid of what his mother would say if he continued to watch TV, so he immediately found the chessboard and set it up.

"Dad, what do you want this time, a car or a cannon?"

Su's father likes to play chess, but his skills are not very good. When Su Le was in junior high school, he could torture and kill his father, and he had to give up a chess piece every time.

"Don't give in to horses and guns."

"If you don't let the chariots and horses and artillery be allowed, then what, you can't just let you be the general."

"Don't you have a date, then let me have a date."

Su Le: ...

Emotions are waiting here.

……

Finally, the countdown was finally ushered in, Su Le breathed a sigh of relief, the first day of the new year, according to the custom can only say festive words, so as not to be reminded by her parents' yin and yang.

There were firecrackers and fireworks outside the house again.

The new year is finally here.

After setting off the firecrackers and fireworks, Father Su sorted out the things to take to the ancestral hall.

"Let's go."

Su Le was carrying a vegetable basket with three animals and offerings inside, while Su's father was holding firecrackers, and the father and son went out to the ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall does not belong to the Su family, but belongs to the entire area nearby. It is about a kilometer away from Su Le's house, but every time Su's father walks there, he never drives.

"Old Chen, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

I met many acquaintances along the way. Su's father greeted each other with a smile. Everyone smoked each other. It took half an hour to walk one kilometer.

Su Le followed behind her father, and when she saw her father say hello, she laughed along with her.

"Do you know why I have to go to the ancestral hall every year no matter how windy or rainy it is?"

"I don't know." Su Le shook his head.

"What else can you do? Let's make the New Year festive and lively. This New Year must have a New Year's atmosphere. When we meet, we wish each other a happy New Year. Don't think it's superstition or something. This is a tradition in our country."

Seeing that there was no one around, Father Su slowed down a bit, and said, "Our country has also experienced disasters, and there are even foreigners taking control, but why are these foreigners assimilated in the end?"

Su Le replied: "Our national civilization is highly assimilated, and it is easy to integrate other national cultures into it."

"This is indeed one point, but the most important thing is that our nation has a very important tradition: sacrifice."

"The major event of the country is to sacrifice to the Rong. This is the foundation of our nation's survival."

"National sacrifices can unite people's hearts; family sacrifices can unite blood; respect for ancestors and awe of nature are fundamental."

Father Su looked at Su Le and sighed: "Your younger generation always say that this is a feudal superstition and a bad habit, but it is precisely this set of cumbersome rituals that can be reflected. If it is very casual, how can it be taken seriously."

"Dad, I understand."

Su Le nodded. He really didn't think about this aspect before, but since he became a scholar, he has become somewhat enlightened about this aspect.

"But there's one thing you don't understand."

"Which point?"

"The reason why I chose to walk is to show the acquaintances nearby. My son is also so old. If there is a suitable girl, I can introduce him."

The corner of Su Le's mouth twitched.

He somewhat understood his father's intentions.

After the first day of the new year, it was time to visit relatives and friends for New Year's greetings. Whose girl was not married, and which family had a high-quality young man? That was one of the hot topics of conversation during New Year's greetings.

My father also took great pains.

The ancestral hall is brightly lit, and the sound of firecrackers is constant. The people who come to worship are laughing and chatting, and everyone is talking to each other.

Buzz!
Just after Su Le finished offering sacrifices with his father, the phone in his pocket kept ringing.

Friends are starting to send New Year greetings in groups?

Su Le picked up the phone, and there were indeed some friends who sent blessings in groups, but the reason for so many vibrating messages was not this, but from the Ganzhou sub-group of Bureau 749.

In the group, what was sent was not a message of New Year greetings.

When Su Le saw the news in the group, his pupils shrank and his expression became serious.

Year of the Tiger!

Year of the Tiger!

At this moment, there are tigers roaring in the mountains and forests in many places across the country.
