Chapter 44

New Year.

Su Qinghe was dragged up from the bed by her mother early in the morning, and was put on new clothes in a daze.

It wasn't until I sat down at the dining table that I finally woke up.

Looking up at the surroundings, the whole family has woken up. The mental state of the brothers is similar to hers, and they are not full of sleep and yawn.

It is rare for the whole family to sit together for breakfast. Except for lunch and dinner, the whole family sits together for breakfast.

"Don't eat and drop it into the bowl later." Su Jianjun looked at the children jokingly, his eyelids almost couldn't hold up.

The children looked up at him with cotton swabs, and seeing that it was not time for breakfast, they lowered their heads and continued to doze off.

Father Su who was sitting at the top couldn't help frowning when he saw the drowsy appearance of the children.

Just wanted to talk and teach them a lesson.

I saw Xu Mei's sister-in-law walking out with a pot of glutinous rice balls, and Su's mother followed behind.

The two daughters-in-law each held a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and the other took the glutinous rice balls and distributed them in front of everyone in an orderly manner.

When the children heard the movement, they could smell the steaming hot glutinous rice balls with a sweet taste, and their consciousness gradually became clear.

They didn't sit down until a bowl of glutinous rice balls was distributed in front of everyone.

Everyone turned their attention to Su's father, which was the Su family's usual practice in previous years.

Every year on New Year's Day, the whole family has to get up early to eat glutinous rice balls, and the head of the family will say some New Year's wishes and express their expectations for the new year.

"New year." Father Su said the same opening words as in previous years.

He talked for more than three minutes before stopping, seeing a few children staring eagerly at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl, looking extremely greedy, so he could bear it.

Pick up the spoon in the bowl, and slowly say the word "start eating" under everyone's gaze.

Then he took the lead in scooping up a glutinous rice ball and put it in his mouth, and everyone started to move one after another.

Su's mother is ingenious, and she made the simple glutinous rice balls into different colors of skins. They are colorful and look very pleasing to the eye.

When Xu Meisheng was in charge, each person's bowl was filled with glutinous rice balls of different colors. At a glance, everyone's bowls were colorful.

Looking at the beautiful glutinous rice balls, several children fell into the entanglement that happens every year, not knowing which color glutinous rice balls to eat first.

But there are also like Siwa, who can eat whatever they scoop up. Anyway, they all taste the same, and they are all sesame fillings.

Su Qinghe likes to eat these soft, glutinous, fragrant and sweet foods the most.

The little hand used the spoon unskillfully, bit down a hole in the dumpling, and saw the black sesame filling flow out.

Carefully suck the stuffing that comes out.

"Hmm~" It was so sweet, Su Qinghe's eyes lit up with excitement, and then she saw that the glutinous rice balls were not so hot before eating them in one bite.

The glutinous rice balls are not particularly small. Su Qinghe swallowed them in one gulp, her small mouth involuntarily puffed up, chewing slowly, and occasionally took a sip of warm glutinous rice ball soup, which had no taste but relieved the tiredness.

Everyone's first bowl of glutinous rice balls is sweet, but there is another bowl of glutinous rice balls filled with fresh meat on the table.

Everyone's taste is different, some people like to eat sweet, some people like to eat salty, and Su's mother will make two kinds of fillings every time.

It's just that the first bowl of glutinous rice balls must be sweet, which means that the next year will be sweet.

Xu Meisheng's glutinous rice balls are also according to everyone's preferences, if you like sweet ones, fill more, if you don't like sweet, fill less, and eat fresh meat stuffing later.

Su Qinghe had never tasted the glutinous rice balls filled with fresh meat. Seeing her father filling a bowl and staring at it curiously, she forgot that the glutinous rice balls in her mouth hadn't been swallowed yet.

"Want to have a bite?" Su Jianguo noticed the girl's gaze, and fed a glutinous rice ball to her mouth.

Su Qinghe just wanted to open her mouth, but found that the food in her mouth had not been swallowed, so she had to chew quickly.

"Eat slowly, don't worry." Su Jianguo told her to eat slowly for fear that she would choke.

Su Qinghe swallowed the glutinous rice balls in her mouth, the sweet taste was still strong in her mouth, she lowered her head and drank a few mouthfuls of soup to make the taste fade away.

The glutinous rice balls in Su Jianguo's spoon had cooled down quite a bit, so you could bite them down without fear of being scalded.

However, no matter how wide Su Qinghe opened his mouth, he could only bite half of it.

The taste is completely different from the sweet glutinous rice balls. When you bite down, you can feel a salty and delicious taste spreading in your mouth.

Originally worried that it would not taste good, Su Qinghe chewed it as if she had discovered a new world. The fresh meat filling was also delicious, and she could also eat mustard grains mixed with it.

Su Jianguo knew from the girl's expression that she liked it too, so he laughed and fed her the remaining half.

After eating the salty ones and then eating the sweet ones, I always feel that the taste is a little bit less, and the sweet sesame filling also loses a little bit of taste.

"Father." Su Qinghe shoved her bowl in front of her father with some embarrassment, and looked at him eagerly.

Su Jianguo knew what she was thinking when he saw her movements, but he also handed the bowl to her in cooperation.

Amidst her father's smile, Su Qinghe poured out the remaining three glutinous rice balls to her father without any guilt.

Su Jianguo didn't care if the salty and sweet glutinous rice balls were delicious when mixed together, so he finished the glutinous rice balls that his daughter poured for him in a few mouthfuls.

"Mom, yes." Su Qinghe held an empty small bowl, pointed at the glutinous rice balls filled with fresh meat, and signaled to her mother that she wanted this.

Wang Xiujuan had seen the small movements of the father and daughter a long time ago. She didn't expect that her daughter would like to eat fresh meat stuffing just like her husband.

"Three, tell mom if it's not enough." Wang Xiujuan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish eating, so she filled three for her first.

Su Qinghe is not greedy either, she knows her appetite, even if it is too right, she can't eat it.

Most people in the family still like the traditional sweet glutinous rice balls. Before, Su Jianjun and his brothers liked to eat fresh meat stuffing. There was a second baby behind them, and now there is Su Qinghe.

The first day of the New Year starts with the whole family sitting around the dining table and eating hot glutinous rice balls.

There is a temple fair in town today, and the Su family plans to go out for a stroll and join in the fun.

The children had known for a long time that they were going to visit the temple fair today, and they couldn't wait to run out after breakfast, wishing they could fly there now.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that the Su family moved out together for so long.

Originally, we wanted to walk to the town together, and the distance was not too far. If we walked, we would reach the town in more than half an hour.

But there were children and old people in the family, and the road was rough and gravel. Su Jianjun was worried that Su's mother would not be able to walk, so he went to the captain's house to borrow an ox cart.

"Let's go." The four children ran ahead, bouncing and jumping, and the joy could be seen just from their backs.

Su Qinghe couldn't help but also be infected by several elder brothers, who didn't want to be hugged, and held one with each hand, walking between parents and mothers, bouncing around.

She is wearing a small red cheongsam today. The cheongsam is made by Mother Su herself, and some of the embroidered buttons on it are also sewn by Mother Su herself. The workmanship is very fine.

She wore white bottoming socks on her legs, a pair of small leather shoes on her feet, and two flower buds were tied on her head by her mother.

Su Qinghe's skin was already fair and tender, but her cheeks were puffy because she was too excited. At a glance, her delicate face was like a little Fuwa coming out of a painting, beaming with joy.

Although Su's mother hasn't gone out for a long time, she is in better health than when she first moved in, and she doesn't feel tired when she walks.

Moreover, in order to accommodate them, the speed of the group was not fast, and even the few children running in front would stop from time to time to check behind them to see if everyone was following.

If not, just wait in place for a while, and jump up and down excitedly when it's almost done.

However, Su Qinghe was far less energetic than some of his older brothers. After walking for a while, his feet felt sore and he didn't want to leave.

Carried by my father to the bullock cart, the cart was first covered with a thick layer of hay, and then the seat cushion was placed. Sitting on it did not hurt my buttocks at all.

After walking more than half of the way, there are more and more people on the road, most of them are adults with children.

The members of the Su family got into the bullock cart when they walked halfway. They couldn't afford to suffer in vain if they didn't sit in the cart. The children had almost played and climbed into the bullock cart one after another.

Most of the people on the road walked, and some people rode in bullock carts like the Su family, but they were not as comfortable as the Su family.

The appearance of the Su family has attracted the attention of many people. To many people, their family is a strange face.

The distance between the villages is not too far, and most people know each other, no matter how bad they are, they are familiar with each other.

Only the Su family, few people have seen them, let alone recognized them, can't help but cast their eyes on them and talk about them there.

For ordinary people, being stared at by so many people would already feel uncomfortable.

Even the Su family, if they show up in the village on weekdays, they will be scrutinized by the villagers, they are all used to it.

However, as we got closer to the town, everyone's attention shifted away, discussing what activities the town would have today.

This is the first time that the town has held these in these years, and everyone is looking forward to it.

I thought they came early enough, but when I got to the town, I found that there were many people who came earlier than them, and the road had already started to be blocked.

Su Jianjun first found a family they knew well in the town, sent the ox cart to their home, and then set off in a mighty way.

Before departure, the adults carefully told the children not to run around, and to hold the hands of their parents and not let go.

This lively place is the kidnapper's favorite haunt.

The family taught them from an early age not to talk to strangers, not to eat food from strangers, and to go to the police if they were in danger.

Especially before going to bed last night, don't worry, they told them that there are many kidnappers in these places. If they are captured, they will never see their parents, grandparents, and grandparents again.

Although the children were bold, it was the first time they had come to such a lively place. At a glance, they were densely packed with human heads.

In addition, I still remember what my parents said about the kidnappers last night, specifically abducting children to sell, and I have already held my parents' hands tightly without their telling.

Too many people walked in a row and were easily dispersed. Su Jianguo and his wife walked in front with their two children to open the way, Su Jianjun and his wife walked behind with their three children, and Su's father and Su's mother walked in the middle with their protection. Prevent being scattered by the crowd.

"Wow——" There are so many people, there are so many people in such a small place.

Su Qinghe was hugged by her father, she could see it most clearly, and exclaimed.

 After checking the information, the first temple fair was the "Ditan Cultural Temple Fair" held by BJ in 1985.
