The joke was made, but the idea was settled. Xu Ziling looked around the store and saw that there are quite a few types of fireworks. From small to large, there are no less than forty or fifty types. Among them, the largest ones can only fit three taels in a commercial vehicle. So I asked the store owner if he could deliver.

As soon as they talked, the shop owner stood by the side all the time, knowing that they would buy a lot, he immediately replied to Xu Ziling: "If the road is easy to walk, and it is not far away, I can give it away. You also know that it is not very convenient for the Chinese New Year today. If Usually, I can send you as far as you want."

Xu Ziling knew what he was telling the truth, because they had such a custom here, on New Year's Day, they would not visit the house after four o'clock in the afternoon. Although there was no definite meaning, the people in this area still abided by it.

"Not far, Fuyun Village."

"Oh, Fuyun Village, that's no problem. You can see what you want. After you have chosen, I will load the car and send it to you in person." The boss is also a person who can read words and expressions. Two cars came over, and there was a pickup truck among them, but they didn't even pull it back by themselves. In addition to the previous conversation, we knew that they bought a lot of them, and they didn't see it too far away, so they immediately said to send it over by themselves.

"That's fine, calculate how many goods you have here, and send them all to me. We have to go shopping before going back. You can just go to Fuyun Village to find Xu Jiang. I believe the boss, you should know this person, right in front The one who runs the game restaurant."

"All... all?" The boss obviously saw such a big customer for the first time. The average person would buy so much and go directly to the factory. Who would come to him? Surprised, even what Xu Ziling said later None of them noticed.

Seeing him like this, Xu Ziling knew that he didn't listen to what he said, so he had to say it again, "Yes, all of them, do the math, how much is it? I'll give you the money, and you send the goods directly to Xu Jiang's home. That Xu Jiang down there who runs a wild game restaurant."

Now the boss confirmed that he had heard correctly, and he also understood that the young man in front of him should be Xu Jiang's nephew, and his words were much more polite than before, "You are the son of boss Da Xu, don't worry, I must be the best thing." The price is cheap, and it will be delivered to your home immediately."

Two brothers, Xu Haoran and Xu Jiang, were in the town a long time ago. People familiar with them called Xu Haoran the big boss Xu and Xu Jiang the young boss Xu in order to distinguish them. When it was Boss Xu, he was definitely called Xu Haoran. As soon as Xu Ziling heard it, he knew that the owner of the fireworks shop had opened a shop in the town for a long time, so he nodded his head, admitting his identity.

"Then trouble the boss to calculate how much it is. We still have to go shopping. You can just send it there for me."

"no problem."

The boss quickly agreed, asked Xu Haoran if he was okay, quickly calculated the total price of these fireworks, reported it to Xu Ziling, and repeatedly said that he gave the lowest price, and did not earn him a penny more .

Xu Ziling didn't know the market price of this thing, but judging from the sincerity in his words, it might be a little watery, but not too much, so he quickly gave him the money, and then greeted him and said that their car was parked in their shop After stopping in front, he led a few people for a stroll.

People came and went, the more people walked towards the center of the town, the more people there were. Seeing this situation, Xu Ziling was a little thankful for his decision just now. He didn't drive over. The girl twitched her index finger, and bought a little bit of fried and grilled rice cakes like baked glutinous rice cakes.

But the town is the busiest, and the place is only that big. After shopping for a few streets, I didn’t buy anything else, so I went back and came to the shop that sold fireworks. The proprietress saw them coming to pick up the car. He also ran out to say hello to them very politely, saying that the male boss had delivered the goods to them not long after they left.

Now that the road is better repaired, the speed of going back is also faster. The car started, and after slowly driving out of the street, it picked up quickly. In less than 10 minutes, I returned home, parked the car outside, and walked Entering the yard, those who visited the door have all gone back, and there is no one there.

Walking into the house, Xu Jiang and Zhang Lan were preparing some ingredients, while grandpa was sitting at the door of the main room, watching grandma and Xu Haoran preparing for the ancestor worship before the dinner. Yang Ruolan had seen this kind of scene the year before last, but to To the two sisters of the Xiao family, this was a completely unfamiliar ceremony, and they felt a little sacred, but also a little curious. Xiao Ying even asked Xu Ziling in a low voice, what is this doing?Are you worshiping some god?

Xu Ziling patted her on the head lightly, and said with a smile: "Just remember to kowtow later."

The ancestor worship before the New Year's Eve dinner is very important to Xu Ziling and the others. No matter which family, as long as there is someone in the family, even if it is only one person, they must come to a set of such rituals, light incense candles, and let the elders pray After a while, every descendant kowtows and prays from the oldest to the youngest. Of course, everyone who kowtows must be a member of the family, and those who have nothing to do with it are unnecessary. Xu Ziling asked Xiao Ying to do this, so naturally she Treat it like your own family.

It's just that Xiao Ying didn't understand these things. Hearing that Xu Ziling asked her to kowtow, she thought it was a trick of her. She curled her lips and ran to grandpa. While pinching his shoulders, she coquettishly asked what she was doing.

The old man had no daughters in his life, only Xu Haoran had a son, and Xu Haoran had only a son Xu Ziling, but most people in their generation had several children, and now they are full of children and grandchildren, and the old man usually doesn't say anything. But I am very envious of those people. I learned from Zhang Lan that the four people who came with them this time were raised by her like children, and the two sisters of the Xiao family were also very affectionate. The old man immediately treated them like granddaughters Seeing it, at this time Xiao Ying acted like a baby, which made him very happy. He smiled and talked to her about the ancestor worship. In the end, like Xu Ziling, he pointed at Duan Zhan and the four of them, and asked them to wait. Bye bye.

Non-descendants are not allowed to bow down!Several people listened to the old man say this lightly, and listened to let them also worship, and felt in their hearts the care they had never felt in their entire lives. This is their loved ones!This is home!

Killers are also human beings. The actions of Xu Ziling and the old man undoubtedly touched the deepest part of their hearts. Girls are weaker than men when it comes to this kind of thing. Nodding, but the two girls were much more excited, their eyes turned red at the same time, and tears glistened in their sockets.

Xu Ziling is very cruel to outsiders, but he is very soft in his heart to his own people. Seeing the two girls like this, he felt very sad. Even though they are usually normal people, in fact, each of them has a kind of distortion in their hearts. , This is known from the missions they have done before: every time they kill, they kill the target in an extremely cold way.It is better to say that he is completing the task than venting the tyranny in his heart by killing people.

They, who had never seen sadness, were able to cry now, and it seemed that they had gradually become normal people. Seeing such a situation, Xu Ziling was a little happy.

"Okay, okay...there are two people who are so big, and I want to return the golden beans." Seeing the appearance of the two, Yang Ruolan hurriedly walked to the two of them and wiped their eyes.

On New Year's Eve, it's always bad to cry, and being teased by Yang Ruolan again, the two of them were embarrassed to cry. They squinted their eyes and looked at Xu Ziling, then at the old man and Xu Haoran, who was still busy there, etc. He finally exchanged glances with Duan Zhan and Li Xingwen, and smiled happily.

"Sister-in-law, will you give us lucky money later..."

"Damn girl, I've never seen anyone asking for lucky money." Yang Ruolan scolded with a smile.

……

Seeing them making a fuss again soon, Xu Ziling also laughed.

Sometimes I laugh and make trouble, and occasionally help out with some things. The time passed quickly, the sky was getting dark, and the lights were turned on in every house in the village. Xu Jiang was busy for several hours. Here, the ancestor worship has been prepared, all the personnel are here, the sacrifices are placed, the incense candles are lit, and everyone stands in the main room to start the ceremony.

This kind of activity has been done by grandma over the years, and it is still the same this year. Burning incense and cleaning hands, began to pray, chanting the names of ancestors, and talking about the situation of the family in the past year. The difference from previous years is that there are more people this year. Only four members.

This is not a superstition, but a custom that has been passed down for a long time. After ***'s words, it is time to worship. Grandpa is the oldest, starting with him, followed by Xu Haoran, Zhang Lan, and Xu Jiang.

No matter who it is, when kneeling down, the grandma who is the master of ceremonies will always say a few words. Of course, everyone's words are different. When grandpa kneels down, grandma will mainly talk about health, while it is Xu Haoran's turn to talk about career. There are words like success.

After the elders, Duan Zhan and Li Xingwen, because they were older than Xu Ziling, they were in front of Xu Ziling. They knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed. Xu Ziling stood behind and looked at them With some trembling backs, it is known that their hearts are not as calm as they appear on the surface.

After the two of them, followed by Xu Ziling and Yang Ruolan, and then the two sisters of the Xiao family. After worshiping the ancestors, half an hour passed, and the sky was completely dark. Everyone cleared the table together, and then the banquet was ready. .

Before the meal, of course, there is the most important part, that is to distribute the New Year's money. The Xu family's rules have always been like this. The New Year's money will be served on the dining table before the meal. Several people sit down, starting with grandpa, and giving each of them a junior A red envelope, then Xu Haoran, and then Xu Jiang, so Xu Ziling and the six of them each got three red envelopes.

For ordinary families, there is no lucky money after they arrive, but their family does not have this rule, so don’t look at Duan Zhan who is in his twenties, grandpa and the others are also right. Li Xingwen had mixed feelings, but Xiao Ying and Xiao Ning were even better, their brows were filled with joy, and the smiles on their faces didn't stop until the meal was over.
