Chapter 91 New Years
"Hey, Ah Heng is here to answer the phone." Wang Xiujuan called the two children in, "Auntie's call."

Several children were playing in the yard with the firecrackers that Su Jianguo bought. There were many kinds of firecrackers, and the children were very excited.

Hearing their mother's cry, the two children put down the firecrackers in their hands and ran in.

"Auntie, Happy New Year." The siblings shouted into the microphone together.

"Happy New Year, Auntie has remitted money to your mother. This is the New Year's money for you. Remember to ask your mother to give it to you. Don't forget."

"Thank you, auntie."

Wang Xiujuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, I am this kind of person, children are greedy for new year's money."

"You busy person, I'm not afraid that you forget to withdraw money, let the two children remind you."

The two sisters, Wang Xiujuan, often talk on the phone, and they do not care much about the business their sister does in Beijing.

Sometimes when I called, she answered obediently, saying that she was busy with work and hadn't come back yet.

Wang Xiujuan begged for mercy, is she so unreliable?

The two children saw their mother chatting with their aunt, and ran out to continue playing with firecrackers.

"Don't worry, the money has already been withdrawn, and I will give them the red envelope in the evening."

After finishing speaking, as if to express her dissatisfaction, she deliberately said: "Don't forget to give Yangyang Lele my red envelope, don't take it for yourself."

"How old are you, you still have a childish temper." Wang Xiuping didn't care about her.

Hearing what her sister said, she couldn't help but said again: "You know you're earning money now, but you don't have to give so much, just mean it, and make it auspicious."

"Sister, don't worry. It's rare for me to go back now. Yangyang Lele is going to college soon. There are many places to spend money. Give them more and they will be richer."

Wang Xiujuan understands her sister's meaning, but her elder sister and second brother dragged her up and supported her to study. Now that she is capable, she doesn't need to rely on her husband, and she is happy to give them more money.

"I can't say no to you." Wang Xiuping sighed. My sister is capable now, and she has a lot of reasons to say. She can't say no to her at all, so she quickly changed the subject.

"I sent you food. It should arrive in a few days. Some things can't be kept for a long time. Remember to eat them early."

"You don't need to send me so many things every time, you can buy them here, and the chef at home can also make them."

Wang Xiujuan advised her that her sister sent her big bags of food every once in a while.

"I'm not thinking of you saying it's delicious last time, so I'll send you more. The ones made outside are not as authentic as our own." Wang Xiuping let her say so, and she should send it next time.

This is true, Wang Xiujuan nodded logically, especially the rice dumplings at home, the pickles in the bread can't be bought here.

She also tried to ask her servants to copy the elder sister's recipe, but it didn't taste like home at all.

"There are also red envelopes for my second brother and two children. Sis, you gave them to me when you went back during the Chinese New Year." Wang Xiujuan also sent money back by herself before, and asked her brother to pick it up by himself.

In the end, her brother had a hard temper, not only refused to take it, but also returned the money to her.

Let her keep the money on her body and spend it on her own, worrying that she will not be able to live alone, and every time she is like the eldest sister, she always sends a lot of things that she and her two children like to eat.

Sometimes there are some gadgets he made himself, which won the hearts of his niece.

Her brother obediently liked it when he heard it, and every time the package was sent in the future, there would be gadgets made by him, and sometimes the little girl would call her uncle to tell her what style she wanted.

If she couldn't tell, she wrote a letter and put it with the package she sent back.

"Don't worry, Zhihui is just afraid that you will have a bad time living outside alone, and we are not by your side and want you to spend more money."

"I know." Wang Xiujuan choked up. The eldest sister and second brother were no different to her parents. She naturally knew that they were worried about her.

Knowing that she was going back to Beijing with the Su family, the sister-in-law secretly told her that the second brother didn't sleep well for a few nights, so he was worried that he would be bullied by the Su family.

Although everyone knew that the Su family treated her well, they still couldn't let her go.

"The last time I went back, grandma still told me about you." Wang Xiuping felt uncomfortable when she heard her sister's voice.

"How is grandma? Is she in good health? She is old now. Don't delay if she has a problem. Hurry up and go to the hospital to see her."

"Grandma is in good health. Several aunts take turns to take care of her. They live comfortably."

When mentioning grandma, Wang Xiujuan couldn't help smiling. She was close to grandma and her aunts, and would visit them every year and festival.

Even now, a few aunts are always thinking about her. They save up the dried goods they usually dig in the mountains or grow at home and send them to her at the end of the year.

The only downside is that it is inconvenient to contact. The village is too far away, and there is no phone. Even sending a package is entrusted to the eldest sister and second brother, and let them take it out when they go to see them.

As soon as the two sisters chatted, they forgot the time. If Wang Xiuping was not busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, they would not want to hang up.

"Hey, I forgot the time again." After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiuping's face hurt.

"I can't call anymore, I can't make calls anymore, it will be more cost-effective to write letters in the future." Having said so much, the money spent is enough to send several letters.

Xu Weiwen smiled when he heard his wife's regret.

"Mom, you say that every time, which time do you remember?" Lele dismantled the fucking stage.

"As soon as you talk to your aunt, you forget the time. You don't know what can be talked for so long."

Although Yangyang didn't say a word, he showed approval on his face. He would call him almost once a week, and they would be tired of hearing this sentence every time he finished the phone call.

"Okay, I dare to laugh at your mother." Wang Xiuping stared, deliberately scaring him, "Since you say that, use the lucky money from your aunt to pay the phone bill."

The two brothers regretted it, and knew that they would stop talking, "Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The red envelopes given by the aunt are the most generous every year, and the red envelopes they received during the Chinese New Year are not as much as the one given by the aunt.

"It's what he said, and it has nothing to do with me." Yang Yang hurriedly disregarded the relationship.

"Brother, how could you do this!" Lele was about to die of anger, but he just said what everyone was thinking.

Letting the two brothers quarrel, Wang Xiuping walked out with a smile, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law.

On the other side, Wang Xiujuan, who hung up the phone, began to think about going back during the summer vacation, but she hadn't been back since she moved here.

It must be a lie to say that she didn't want to, but she was busy with Jianguo's work for the first two years, and her tailor shop had just started.

Jianguo stayed in the company at home for a year, and then went out to do business on his own. He was so busy every day that he never touched the ground.

The weather is too cold in winter, and the road is slippery, making it inconvenient to walk at all. Although it is a bit hot in summer, it is still more convenient.

If possible, she would also like to take them to Beijing to play around.

"Crooked crooked daddy, point to the left."

"Hey, go down, it's too low, go up a bit."

"Okay, okay, don't move."

Outside, Su Jianguo took several children to post couplets and hang lanterns.

The rest of the house has been posted, except for the door, which is waiting for Su Jianguo and the others to post it themselves.

Hanging lanterns is much simpler, just hang the lanterns on it.

"All right."

Su Jianguo came down, walked to the children, and looked at the Spring Festival couplets he had posted together.

Today's New Year's Eve, the decorations inside and outside of Su's house are all red, even the clothes everyone wears are red, it is festive when you see it.

Su Qinghe is wearing a New Year's red skirt suit today. The upper body is a top with a small stand-up collar and a side-cut design. The outline of the body is outlined with white fluff.

The lower body is an A-swing skirt that just reaches the knee, and she also wears a pair of white bottoming socks, and a pair of small leather shoes under her feet.

The slightly curly long hair was also tied into two low ponytails by the mother, and was pinned on top with a red hairpin, matching this outfit retro and playful.

Even the elder brothers were forced to wear red sweaters, and all the brothers wore the same sweater.

Today the Su family is very lively and full of people.

Not long after lunch, Su's father took the whole family to the ancestral hall to offer incense. The Su family had a yard dedicated to placing wooden plaques of ancestors.

Every holiday or the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Su's mother would come to offer incense in the morning. There are also special servants here to clean up, and the door will not be opened usually.

The use of fire is also very careful. If Steward Su is not busy, he will come here to see it in person.

Su Qinghe has also been here a few times, it's not as scary as imagined, and it's not as dark as it used to be seen in TV novels, on the contrary it's very bright.

The servants cleaned diligently, every wooden sign was wiped clean, not a speck of dust could be seen, and the tributes placed on them were all fresh and changed every day.

But even so, Su Qinghe didn't dare to come here alone.

Kneeling together with several older brothers, Su Qinghe was short, and when she looked up, she could only see the back of the person in front of her.

It wasn't until after the worship and when I went to set the incense that I could see the wooden signs on it clearly. There were so many that Su Qinghe was dazzled.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, the Su family's New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

But before the New Year's Eve dinner, there is one more thing to do.

"Crackling——" a burst of firecrackers sounded.

Su Qinghe stood at the door and quickly covered her ears, afraid that she couldn't help but look.

It rang for a few minutes before it was finally released. The yard was also full of smoke at this time, choking panic, and the debris of firecrackers splashed everywhere.

But no one cared about it. After the firecrackers were set off, everyone took their seats. It was still the same. Grandpa said a few words first, summed up the past year, and then looked forward to the new year.

Perhaps because of his usual work, Father Su couldn't stop speaking at meetings every three days, and he seemed to be getting more energetic as he talked.

"Grandpa, the food will be cold any more." Su Qinghe interrupted after receiving the eyes of several brothers asking for help.

"That's right, everyone is hungry, don't bring your work stuff home." Mother Su couldn't stand it anymore.

This old man has been working more and more vigorously over the years, and he has a set of words in the scene, and he has brought his work habits home.

Father Su reluctantly shut up after being told by his wife and granddaughter.

"Bang—" Everyone raised their glasses and clinked glasses, shouting in unison, "Happy New Year."

The New Year's Eve dinner is very rich. The kitchen considers everyone's tastes, and the people who arrange the dishes are also very careful. Everyone has their favorite dishes in front of them.

The whole family of the Su family was eating, and at the other end of the yard, the servants of the Su family also sat down to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The Su family had a lot of servants, except for those who went back to celebrate the New Year, there were still a lot of people who stayed at the Su family for the New Year. It took three or four tables to sit down, not counting the people who were busy in the kitchen.

There are not so many rules for eating New Year's Eve dinner, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and everyone eats while talking.

When Su Qinghe was full, she would take her brother to play with firecrackers. Even after living two lifetimes, Su Qinghe still couldn't resist the temptation of firecrackers.

Especially when she saw it burning, Su Qinghe was the most excited.

When she was tired from playing, Su Qinghe ran back to continue eating, going in and out, but she didn't feel tired at all.

The adults were already sitting there watching the Spring Festival Gala, and I asked them to take a break to sit and watch together, but they refused.

Su Qinghe has never been interested in these things, and the lanterns outside are all lit up, so beautiful, she is busy asking her brother to take pictures of her.

Several adults in the room looked at it for a while, and then began to pull the table to play mahjong. Wang Xiujuan didn't know how to do it, so she sat on the side and watched them play.

Xu Mei didn't play either, the sister-in-law sat next to Su's mother and watched the cards.

Those who could read would enjoy watching it with gusto, but for Wang Xiujuan, seeing them take a card back and play it out again, she couldn't see the cards clearly at such a fast speed.

Seeing her confused appearance, Xu Mei committed suicide beside her and taught her.

Unfortunately, the more Wang Xiujuan listened, the more confused she became.

"It's okay, I'll teach you when you have a chance to go to the table. You still have to play this thing yourself to learn quickly."

She couldn't understand it before, but she was dragged to the table later, and she became proficient after playing it a few times.

The four of them were not polite at all when they played cards. They really didn't care that the players who played cards together were their own sons and brothers. If they lost, they would pay. They played quite well.

Don't look at Su's mother who is usually easy to talk, but her aura immediately changed as soon as she sat at the table. Su Qinghe was dumbfounded by her proficiency in playing cards.

Is this still her gentle and amiable grandma?

But grandma is so handsome like this. It would be even more handsome if she held a cigarette in her hand. Su Qinghe already had a picture in her mind.

But the Su family has a rule, you can't smoke in the house, even if you want to smoke, you have to avoid people.

Although Su Jianguo and the others can smoke, they are not addicted, especially since they have a little girl at home.

Su Qinghe's squeamishness was unbearable, so they smoked even less.

Seeing his daughter approaching, Su Jianguo looked at her distractedly, "Do you want to learn too?"

Su Qinghe really didn't know these things, she was a little itchy, and asked tentatively: "Is it possible?"

"Of course, just watch it slowly, and you'll be fine if you read too much." Su Jianguo has no objection to his daughter learning these things. People must have some fun in this world.

But he will not teach her personally, just let her see and think for herself.

On the other side, Wang Xiujuan couldn't take it anymore after watching it for a while, so she just sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Not to mention, this Spring Festival Gala is really interesting.

Seeing that she stopped watching, Xu Mei was afraid that she would be bored by herself, so she sat down with her.

When the sisters-in-law get together, they can talk a lot, and they can talk for a whole day just about clothes and jewelry.
