Chapter 429 It's New Year's Eve

Before Su Xue could finish her words, her lips were blocked by the man who suddenly changed her posture. She was forced to swallow all the words she wanted to say, and she couldn't utter a single word except for the occasional murmur. full syllable.

No matter how difficult life is, Chinese New Year always makes people happy.

If we talk about the day that the common people look forward to the most for thousands of years, it is definitely the Chinese New Year.Chinese New Year means that the new year is coming.

Regardless of whether you have been successful or not in the past year, you will look forward to being blessed by God and everything will go well in the new year.

At this moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, everyone has a happy smile on their face.

Su Xue's house, located at the tail of the small group, was also beaming at the moment.The old lady was busy in the kitchen, while Su Xiaolong and He Xiaojun were in charge of cleaning.

As the only adult male laborer in the family, He Qingdong took over the job of killing chickens in the family.

Su Baoer watched her little Huang being caught out of the chicken coop by the second brother, she sucked on the red nose and dropped a few golden beans.

"Xiao Huang, you have to be obedient! Bao'er will tell your brother-in-law to be gentle when he kills you, so don't be sad." Su Baoer's childish voice didn't know who she was comforting.

Su Xue, who just picked a basket of vegetables from the backyard, was a little funny when she heard what the little girl said.

She put the bamboo basket in her hand by the well, smiled and said to the very reluctant Su Baoer: "Since Baoer is so sad, let's not kill it and eat it, okay?"

The ten chicks that Su Xue bought before, under Su Baoer's careful care, have grown to more than four catties in half a year. They are fat and like to lay eggs. Su Xue is also a little bit reluctant to kill them.

When Su Baoer heard her sister say not to kill Xiao Huang, she immediately shook her head: "No, no, then Baoer will have no chicken legs to eat."

Su Xue: ...

So why did she drop the golden peas just now?

Su Xiaohu snorted, and went to the cage to grab Xiaohua out as well.

"Su Baoer is such an idiot. Chickens are raised for food and not for human beings. What's the point of crying about killing them?" Unlike Su Baoer, when Su Xiaohu saw these plump chickens, he only thought of the delicious chicken drumsticks. .

He will not have feelings for two chickens.

Su Baoer heard Su Xiaohu's words and glared at him angrily: "Second brother is a big idiot. These chicks grew up eating the bugs I caught. They have a good relationship with me, just like my children. How can they be mothers?" Wouldn't you be sad to see your child killed?"

"..."

Su Xue really didn't expect this metaphor.

The old lady who was cooking pig's feet in the kitchen came out with a smile: "Don't be sad, Bao'er, when it gets warmer in the future, grandma will exchange some chicken cubs with someone, and then Bao'er will have a new partner."

"Really?" When Su Baoer heard that she might have a new partner, she didn't remember being sad at the time.She looked at Su Xue with bright eyes: "Sister, is what grandma said true? Can Bao'er buy chicks to raise?"

"It's ok, but Bao'er has to raise herself, so I can't work hard on grandma."

"Okay, Bao'er will take care of herself." Su Baoer nodded solemnly. The little girl who was still reluctant to part now looked at He Qingdong more firmly than anyone else, and asked him to take the remaining few chickens. Kill them all.

"Brother-in-law, kill them all, Bao'er has a new partner."

This rapid change made everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Su Xue even smiled and said, "Bao'er, are you not upset?"

"It's not sad, they always like to fight and grab food. Bao'er has long wanted to kill them." The little girl looked resolute, "It's all right now, you can kill them."

The corner of Su Xue's mouth twitched.

What a decisive sister.

Because of Su Baoer's nod, Su Xiaohu and He Qingdong killed two chickens together. While they were depilating the chickens, Su Xue and the old lady were also cooking pig's feet, braised tofu, and frying fish in the kitchen...

This year is the first time for the two families to celebrate the New Year together. In addition, Su Xue and He Qingdong have both made money, and the living conditions of the two families have improved a lot. Their New Year's Eve dinner is very rich.

There are fish and meat, and they are all big pieces.

The portion is sufficient, the tube is enough.

After He Qingdong and the others finished killing the chickens, Su Xue put the two chickens into a large pot and boiled them with water, then took them out and put them aside.Today's chicken is not cut, but a whole one.

This is convenient for them to go to worship their ancestors.

Put a whole chicken, a piece of boiled meat, two boiled eggs, and some fragrant paper into a basket lined with banana leaves, and cover it with a clean white sackcloth, Su Xue told the old lady With a cry, he and He Qingdong took a few children to the cemetery.

"Have you brought wine?"

The old lady poked her head out of the kitchen worriedly and asked.

"Take it, take it all."

"Okay, then go early and come back early." The old lady turned her head and told He Qingdong: "The road up the mountain is not easy, Xiaoxue is not used to walking, so you should pay more attention."

The cemetery in Hongqi Village was carved out of a hill, and all the dead were buried on that hill.It's cold now, there may be dew on the mountain, and there are many people going up the mountain, you kick each other, and the yellow mud dirt road is easy to slip.

People who are used to walking have to be careful about falling, let alone someone like Su Xue who has never walked a mountain road.

"I know, don't worry."

The two majors and the four minors left the Su's house and walked straight along the street.Because it was still early, not many people went to visit the tomb. When I met a few scattered people on the road, they simply nodded and said hello, and then went off to do their own things.

After leaving a small team, we walked along the field road for about 10 minutes and came to the foot of the mountain.

Not only are they going to pay homage to Su Xue's biological parents today, but they are also going to burn incense and worship to He Xiaojun's parents and grandfather.

Because Su Jianhua and his wife were buried at a lower place, Su Xue and the others naturally went to Su Jianhua and his wife's side first.The simple earthen tomb that has been more than a year old has been covered with weeds, and two simple wooden signs stand there, with the names of Su Jianhua and his wife written on it...

A gust of wind blew, and the weeds swayed all around, feeling inexplicably depressed and sad.

Su Baoer, who was still talking all the time, also became quiet at this moment.

Su Xue looked at Xiaolong Xiaohu with red eyes, she sighed and took two steps forward: "Dad, Mom, I'm Su Xue, I'm here to see you." After she finished speaking, He Qingdong held the Basket went by.

Su Xue took the basket and put it in front of the tombstone, took He Qingdong's hand and introduced: "Mom and Dad, this is your daughter He Qingdong. He is from our village. You should have known each other before, right? He was not famous before. That's great, but he is a good man and treats his daughter very well, so you can rest assured in heaven."

"Our family built a new house this year. Xiaolong and Xiaohu Bao'er all went back to school to go to class. I also opened a tailor shop outside. Next year, I plan to repeat my third year of high school and take the university entrance exam."

"Parents don't worry, I will let my younger siblings study hard and strive for everyone to finish college."

She didn't want to cry at first, but when she held He Qingdong's hand and spoke to the tombstone, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Su Xue also couldn't tell where the sadness came from, it was always very sad.

There was a soft sobbing sound from behind, Su Xue quickly raised her head and wiped away the tears from her eyes, then turned around and smiled: "Xiaolong, come out with a sickle and let's clean up the weeds around."
