Chapter 103 Sacrifice ([-])

In the family, the man and the woman are in the same group, and Su Jinman and her mother are in the same group. They are quite equal, but it is a pity that their hearts are not together.

The ancients were all in awe of their ancestors. Even the stingy old lady Su not only put on New Year's meat but also fruits when preparing sacrificial supplies. For the stingy old lady Su, it is not easy.

Women are not qualified to sacrifice. After everything was ready, the women went back to their own rooms. There is no room for Su Jinman and Zhao Xiuhe here. The mother and daughter had to stay in the kitchen, looking at the dark stove, Su Jinman looked disgusted.

After the sound of firecrackers outside, I saw old man Su tremblingly kneeling in front of the incense table first, Su Dalang, Su Erlang, and Su Sanlang lined up behind old man Su, and naturally their sons were kneeling behind them in order , Su Shichen was hugged by Su Shiren, fortunately, he was not too fussy when he was full, and his two round eyes were wide open, full of curiosity about what was about to happen.

Everyone followed Mr. Su and kowtowed towards the incense case. After three heads, Su Dalang and Su Erlang hurried forward to help Mr. Su up, and a simple New Year's sacrifice was completed.

Su Sanlang took the child from Su Shiren's hand, seeing that Mr. Su didn't intend to keep him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Father, Xiaobao's name has been chosen, is it time to add the child's name to the family tree in spring?"

Old man Su glanced at him, then at the child in his arms.

"Let's talk about it after the new year. You can be regarded as a successor. You should also know that the family's prosperity is not a matter of one person. Shiqing is your nephew after all. You should help him when you can. You can't listen to everything. A woman's opinion, otherwise your child will not have a brother to rely on in the future, and it will be difficult to thrive."

Su Sanlang began to struggle in his heart again, and Mr. Su did not urge him. Su Dalang and Su Erlang both heard what Mr. Su said, and they also agreed with it. After all, Su Sanlang has the best conditions now. With Su Shiqing, everyone's life will not be very sad.

Mr. Su was talking to Su Sanlang earnestly, and Mrs. Su led the women at home to organize the incense table again.

When Zhao Xiuhe saw Su Sanlang talking to Mr. Su, she went up to take the child away so that they could talk. Su Jinman ignored them and talked to Su Shiren who was chopping firewood.

"What's your New Year's resolution?"

When he was chopping firewood vigorously, he didn't expect Su Jinman to come over and ask such a question.

"If I can earn money, I can pay for my eldest brother's education. Grandpa and grandma won't be so tired, and the family will be more peaceful."

Su Shiren is really a bit like Su Sanlang in temperament, honest and friendly, but he is better than Su Sanlang in that his temperament is not so weak and easily influenced.

"Do you want to study?"

"I don't want to. That thing costs money, and it may not be promising. I think it's useless. It's better to learn a craft or something, so that you can live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"Then what do you want to learn, have you ever thought about it?"

"Where is the time? Just open your eyes and do the work. Besides, if I go out to do errands, there will be no one to do the work at home."

Su Jinman has a good impression of him. If he hadn't called him when Su Sanlang had an accident, no one would have dared to think about the consequences. Every time he came to Su's house for something, he would silently help him. It can be said that this is the only light in the Su family.

"If you want to learn a craft, you can come to me anytime, and I can help you."

After Su Jinman finished speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for his answer. She has stayed here long enough today, and she didn't even get a sip of water. Looking at Xiaobao who was flushed from the cold, she didn't want to stay here for a moment. Here it is.

Seeing Su Sanlang chatting enthusiastically with the men from the Su family, Su Jinman put his arms around Zhao Xiuhe's waist and shouted at Su Sanlang.

"Father, you are chatting with grandpa and the others. Mother and I will go back first. It will scare Xiaobao when it gets dark."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Su Sanlang's answer, he pulled Zhao Xiuhe outside.

Mr. Su looked at Su Jinman coldly, and didn't say anything. Su Sanlang hurriedly stopped in a little embarrassment, and smiled at the men of the Su family.

"I'll go back today first. It's snowing outside and the roads are hard to walk. I'll take them back. Father, don't worry, I'll remember what you said."

After finishing speaking, he went to follow in the footsteps of his wife and daughter.

Looking at Su Sanlang's back, Su Dalang was full of jealousy.

"I think the third child is not only soft-headed, he really doesn't look like a man at all. He is led by the nose by a woman all day long, so he shouldn't ask them to come back to worship their ancestors today."

"Brother, don't say that. It sounds sour. Who would let someone have a daughter who can earn money?"

At this time, Mrs. Liu, who had finished cleaning up, seemed to change the topic unintentionally.

"Speaking of this, my little sister has never been able to go through the door since she got married, and we haven't responded to the letters we sent her. I don't know if she will come back in the second year of junior high school?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Su also muttered.

"Yes, old man, why don't we go to the town to see my daughter when the market opens. She has never been away from me for so many days since I was a child, and I haven't heard from her. I'm so worried."

After taking a puff of dry smoke, Mr. Su said in a deep voice: "It's nothing to look for. Your daughter married into a rich family. Although she is filling in the house, she is also a serious wife. There is a lot of trouble at home. Let's talk about the big family. They have more rules than ours, so don't make trouble for the child, she will come back when she can, didn't she ask someone to bring so many New Year's gifts to her years ago?"

Speaking of New Year's ceremony, Mrs. Su was even more worried.

"None of those things are real, but a few boxes of worthless pastries. Can my daughter send me away with those things?"

"Mother, don't think too much about it, my little sister will definitely go back to her mother's house in the second year of junior high school, this is a custom."

It was rare for Mrs. Zheng to open her mind. Mrs. Su glared at her and went to count the food again. There is a fixed amount of noodles and meat for making dumplings at night, no more and no less.

"Okay, get busy, don't you ring the bell without the monk?"

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng went to the kitchen to make bread and dumplings obediently. The men went back to the main room to talk. Su Shiqing was thinking about how to get Su Jinman to pay for her own education. He was still counting on his little aunt for food and clothing, but unfortunately, as soon as she got married, there was no news of her, and he had no way out.
