Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 53
Early in the morning, Suho woke up to the sound of firecrackers in the village.

According to the rules in Qingmu Town, on the morning of the New Year's Eve, one has to go up the mountain to see off the light.Sending light is a name here for going up the mountain to worship the tomb. Generally, the tomb is sacrificed on the morning of the New Year's Eve. Incense, paper, and firecrackers are usually offered.So, before dawn, Su Ho was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

After going out, the lights in Wang's room were already on, and the aroma of food was also wafting out.Su Ho hurried into Wang's house, and washed in the hot water in Wang's house. Seeing the cauldron simmering by the fire, Su Ho knew that the rice was cooked.Stewed pork knuckles with kelp was cooking in the pot, Wang put tofu on the side, and a small fire was burning at the bottom of the pot.Seeing Su Ho coming in, Mrs. Wang said cautiously: "You are here, take it easy, the leek is still asleep!"

Su Ho nodded, took a look at Mrs. Wang, walked lightly to Wang's bed, saw Leek who was blushing in sleep, leaned over, kissed Leek's forehead, and walked back lightly Beside the fire pit, he said: "Mom, I'm going to pick some vegetables and come back to clear the stomach. These vegetables are too greasy. I eat light food on weekdays. If I suddenly eat something so greasy, my stomach will not be able to stand it!"

"Okay, let's go!" Mrs. Wang nodded and added a piece of firewood to the fire.Su Ho went to the garden to pick some cabbages, washed them in the yard before taking them into the house.

After entering the house, Su Ho squatted by the fire, turned over the vegetables in the pot, heard the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, and said, "Mother, don't we need to go up the mountain to send the light?"

Mrs. Wang was silent for a while, and said: "We don't have to go so early, it's not too late after we have the reunion dinner!" Her voice was a little low, but suddenly Mrs. Wang shook her head, and her tone became lighter: "It's New Year's Eve, What are you talking about, come on, wake up the leeks, the dishes in the pot are already cooked, let's eat!"

Su Ho glanced at Mrs. Wang, stood up silently, picked up the vegetables, shook them lightly, and shouted, "Chives, leeks, wake up, mother cooked delicious food for you..."

Leek shook his head, opened his sleepy eyes, saw Su Ho, grinned, and was about to cry.Since Leek was born, he has seldom cried, but smiles every day.Before Su Ho could react to his expression, the sound of crying had already broken the peace of the hut.

Hearing Chive's cries, Su Ho panicked, hugging her gently in her arms, and looked at Wang Shi with begging eyes.

When Wang heard the cries of leeks, she was also very distressed. Considering that the child is still young, this reunion dinner is indeed a bit early. No wonder the child lost his temper and said, "Forget it, let him sleep!"

Under Su Ho's gentle coaxing, Leek stopped crying, her voice twitched, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

After breakfast, leeks can be regarded as waking up.With extremely energetic eyes, he shook his small fists, sat up by himself, faced Su Ho Yiwu, and stretched out his small arms for Su Ho to hug.

Seeing Leek's acting like a baby, Mrs. Wang immediately burst out laughing, and said, "This kid, he is so smart at such a young age, he knows how to act like a baby to his mother as soon as he wakes up in the morning!"

"This is not a good habit!" Su Ho helped Leek put on the new clothes that he had already made. He was wearing a big red double-breasted jacket with rabbit fur, and a small red hat with rabbit fur on his head. He was wearing trousers of the same color, with white rabbit fur inlaid on the bottom of the trousers, and a pair of red cotton shoes made by Mrs. Wang on his feet. , made a pair of cotton shoes.Dressed in festive clothes, Leek looks like a doll walking out of a painting.

After dressing Chives, Mrs. Wang and Su Ho also changed their clothes.In previous years, the Wang family did not buy new clothes, so they just took out clothes that looked newer.During the Chinese New Year this year, under Su Ho's persuasion, Mrs. Wang bought new cotton cloth and made new clothes for the two of them.

It's just that the colors of Wang's and Su Ho's new clothes are not bright.Wang wore a light blue double-breasted jacket on his upper body, a dark blue cotton skirt on his lower body, and a pair of black cotton shoes with new uppers.She didn't wear jewelry, and her head, hands, and neck were all bare.

Although Su Ho worked hard to earn money, but in order to have a good year, the family bought a lot of things, including jewelry, and Wang was reluctant.Under Wang's obstruction, Su Ho did not insist on selling it anymore.What's more, the family has just started a business, and the family wears gold and silver jewelry, which will make people jealous. This jealousy is really a bad sign for the Wang family, which only has two women at home.

Mrs. Wang chose a light yellow blouse for Su Ho, matched it with a light yellow skirt, and wore brown cotton shoes made by Mrs. Wang on her feet. Around her neck, Su Ho wrapped herself a bright yellow gauze scarf, which complemented her well. Soho has a long neck.

Su Ho was holding bright red chives, followed Wang Shi who was carrying a basket of incense paper money, and left the courtyard. They were going to give Wang Chuanggen the light.As for the other ancestors of the Wang family, the Wang family did not intend to go there.

The man was dressed in green clothes, with a black fox fur belt around his waist. When he saw Suho appearing in the yard with leeks in his arms, his eyes lit up. The pale yellow Suho was like a pale yellow flower blooming in winter. The small flowers are not dazzling, but they warm people's hearts lightly.Watching her carefully holding the child in scarlet in her hands, watching her reach out and scratch the child's small nose bridge, watching her gently straighten the little hat on the child's head... the man's heart is soft, not like he himself.

Su He followed Wang, she didn't know where Wang Cungen was buried, and followed Wang to Wangjialing.Before reaching the slope on Wangjialing, Mrs. Wang turned around and walked on another road, up to Jigong Mountain.On a sunny slope of Jigong Mountain, there is a solitary tomb piled up there, the head of the tomb is cleaned cleanly, hidden in the green mountains and forests in winter.

Seeing that grave, Su Ho knew that it was her father-in-law's grave.Because she saw Wang's hand trembling slightly holding the bamboo basket, which showed that Wang's heart was not calm, although she couldn't see Wang's expression.

Su Ho followed behind Wang, knelt in front of Wang Cungen's grave, and respectfully kowtowed three times.Leek has been quietly staying in Su Ho's arms, watching everything curiously.

"His father," Wang said, "my daughter-in-law and I came to see you!" Wang's voice was calm, without ups and downs: "This year, I brought you your grandson, whose name is Wang Panyu. It is because we hope our son Zhier will come back soon, and secondly, the daughter-in-law said that Yu is a beautiful jade, and I hope our grandson will become a beautiful person like beautiful jade..."

Mrs. Wang paused, her voice was a little low, and she lowered her head slightly and continued: "Father, our family's life is better now, He'er is a good daughter-in-law, she doesn't despise me as an old woman, she is very filial to me, she I worked very hard to earn money to support the family, alas, I was useless, let her a little daughter-in-law show up in public to do business... His father, the family has had a good year this year, thanks to He'er, our family bought a pig's head Pig tail, big tofu, boiled liqueur, fried crispy meat, meatballs..."

"His father," Wang suddenly lowered her head, wiped her face and continued: "You have a spirit in the sky, so please bless and bless our Zhi'er, whether you are dead or alive, you must give me a message..." The voice sobbed.

Su Ho heard something was wrong, hugged the leek tightly with one hand, stepped forward to hug Wang Shi with the other hand, and comforted in a low voice.

After a long time, Wang's mood calmed down. After that, she didn't say a word, but quietly burned incense and paper for Wang Cungen, for fear of scaring the leeks, so she didn't light firecrackers.It wasn't until the basket of paper money was burned out that Mrs. Wang said: "Okay, He'er, let's go back!" Her voice was hoarse.

Standing up and turning around, Su Ho realized that he could see his own small yard from this slope.Against the backdrop of the nearby bamboo forest, Su Ho found that the dilapidated courtyard he had always thought was as peaceful as a fairyland on earth.

On the way back, Wang's mood has been very low.When Su Ho saw it, she felt a little anxious, but she couldn't help it. She knew that Wang Zhi's disappearance was always a knot in Wang's heart. Su Ho couldn't help Wang to untangle this knot, but Wang could only come out by himself. , or Wang Zhi appeared in front of Wang Shi intact.

Suddenly, Su Ho stepped forward, put the leek into Wang's arms, and said, "Mother, my hands are sore, you should hug this brat!"

Wang subconsciously took the leeks.Leek is indeed a clever boy, lying in Wang's arms, he seemed to sense that Wang was in a bad mood, so he gave Wang a big kiss, smeared Wang's face with saliva, and smiled at Wang.Suddenly, a sentence came out of his mouth: "Mother!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned, this kid can talk, why is he calling her mother?Although Wang's heart is still a little bit unhappy, but her grandson can speak and make people at six months old, and she is still very happy in her heart.

The surprise on Su Ho's face couldn't be concealed, his son's crisp cry seemed to come from Su Ho's heart, although he didn't call at her, but his son knew how to call someone, right?Satisfying Su Ho's heart, Su Ho's whole body softened, and his body was covered with the brilliance of motherhood.

"Mother, our kid can talk!" Su Ho hugged Wang's arm, smiling like a crabapple in May, extremely charming.

"He is a lucky boy!" Wang nodded, sweeping away the previous downturn.

Su Ho teased Leek, and said: "Chik, call again, come on, mother..." However, Leek turned his head shamelessly, and smiled at Su Ho on the other side of Wang's.

Su Ho looked at the sky, the sun is very warm today, Mrs. Wang is no longer depressed, and leek can talk and call her mother, this is a good day.

Soho believes that next year will be a good one.
