Ji Chunshan took Ji Ningxu to visit Ji's father and Ji's mother's grave. When he returned home, he saw Ye Qinglan who opened the door for them with red eyes. It was obvious that he had just cried. He knew why he was like this, so he didn't Ask more.

In front of Ji Ningxu, Ye Qinglan didn't say anything, and after entering the main room, Ji Ningxu ran into the bedroom, Ye Qinglan turned around and hugged Ji Chunshan, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, thank you... "

Ever since he got married, he can no longer worship his parents. Every year on the [-]th, Qingming Festival and the anniversary of his parents' death, he is the most sad and painful time, but his current status makes him unable to do anything but Every day is like insects and ants eating my heart, and it is difficult to sleep or eat.

Originally thought that this year would be the same as in the past, but unexpectedly, Ji Chunshan did not know when he became the tablet of his parents, so that he could worship his parents in Ji's house, and make up for the regret that he thought could not be fulfilled in his life. What he said was a redemption like rebirth, which made him grateful and moved, but he couldn't say anything other than thank you for a while.

Although Ji Chunshan has no father or mother, he can understand Ye Qinglan's mood very well because he judges others by himself. There is no need to say anything at the moment, he just puts his arms around the person and gently strokes the back of Ye Qinglan's head with the other, letting him be in his arms. vented a pass.

In the back room, Ji Ningxu, who had been waiting for his two fathers to come in for a long time, poked his head out from the door, and saw the two fathers standing and hugging each other in the main room, and quickly shrank back after only one glance.

When Ye Qinglan's mood calmed down a bit, Ji Chunshan's clothes on his chest were already wet. Seeing Ye Qinglan's eyes swollen from crying, he couldn't help lowering his head and kissing again, then kissing away the tears on his face, coaxing softly Said: "Okay, don't cry, be good."

Ye Qinglan nodded, although she was still sobbing, her tears finally stopped.After they went to the kitchen to wash their face and the swelling in their eyes subsided, the two returned to the east room together.

There was still a faint smell of incense candles in the room, Ji Chunshan scanned around, but did not see Ye's father and Ye's mother's tablet, so he asked: "Have you put away the tablet?"

"Yeah." Ye Qinglan nodded. He was already very satisfied to be able to pay homage to his parents once, but how could he keep placing the memorial tablet at Ji's house? , is not in compliance with the rules.

Ji Chunshan asked again: "Where is it placed?"

Ye Qinglan was a little confused, but still replied: "In the cabinet."

Ji Chunshan opened the cabinet, and then took out the wooden box placed at the bottom. Inside the wooden box was the tablet of Ye Qinglan's parents, which had been properly placed.

Afterwards, Ji Chunshan went directly to the Westinghouse, placed the memorial tablet on the altar that he had specially bought from the woodware shop, and arranged the offerings, incense candles, and incense burner one by one.

Needless to say, Ye Qinglan already understood what he meant, she was a little moved, but couldn't help asking: "You, you don't mind?"

Ji Chunshan smiled at him and said, "If I mind, I won't take it home." He is not a real Ji family member, and he doesn't have as many taboos as the locals, and it's because of Ye Qinglan, he doesn't feel this at all. have what.

After speaking, he said to Ji Ningxu who was on the side: "Xu'er, come here and kowtow to your grandparents." Then he also knelt down in front of the altar and bowed respectfully to his father-in-law and mother-in-law three times.

After getting up, Ji Chunshan smiled at Ye Qinglan: "Let's put it like this in the future, stick incense in the morning and evening, so you can feel at ease."

"Thank you, I..." Ye Qinglan wanted to say something more, but Ji Chunshan made a silent gesture to him, then smiled and said: "There is no need to say more thanks, you know what I want ,Right?"

The emotion on Ye Qinglan's face froze immediately, he glanced at Ji Ningxu who had been looking up at them with innocent big eyes blinking, did not speak, and nodded with his lips pursed.

Seeing this, Ji Chunshan immediately cheered and said, "That's good, I'll wait."

There are different customs around New Year's Eve. Some have reunion dinner at noon, dumplings in the evening, and some New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, and then eat dumplings when the new year is over. Ji Chunshan's custom here is the latter.

At noon, the family of three had a slightly richer lunch than usual. After eating, Ji Chunshan began to prepare for the main event, the New Year's Eve dinner. Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu went to Dr. Hu's house and invited him to celebrate the New Year together.

Dr. Hu has no children, no relatives, no reason, and has always lived alone. With his superb medical skills, he can eat and drink well.During Chinese New Year in previous years, no matter who came to invite him, even the village head, he would not enter the door of other people's house, and just stayed alone in his own small yard. Although it was a bit deserted, he was at ease, and he got used to it after many years .

Ji Chunshan didn't know this before. He just thought that Dr. Hu was lonely during the New Year alone. He didn't have many family members and they knew each other very well. After the invitation from the family, although it was a bit unexpected, Ye Qinglan took Ji Ningxu there. Although he didn't know where the confidence came from, he always felt that Dr. Hu would come. Sure enough, in the end, Dr. Hu followed Ye Qinglan and Ji Ning Xu came to Ji's house together.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, Chun Shan consulted the size of his own dining table, and finally decided on twelve dishes. Although the four of them would never be able to eat them all, but Chinese New Year is all about the atmosphere. It’s only once a year, so extravagance is extravagant. .

The twelve dishes are eight hot, three cool and one sweet, namely lotus leaf chicken, squirrel mandarin fish, mutton casserole, barbecued pork in honey sauce, tangerine peel beef brisket, crystal shrimp, boiled cabbage heart, pork ribs and lotus root soup, and cold skin. Assorted cured meat, dried tofu mixed with bean sprouts, and a cup of eight-treasure rice.

Because Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu can't eat spicy food, and Dr. Hu can't eat too spicy food when he is old, Ji Chunshan chooses light dishes to cook, but although Ji Chunshan doesn't cook many kinds of dishes, the four of them Even if you open your belly to eat, you can’t eat it all. In the end, there is a lot left for granted, but now the weather is cold, even if you don’t have a refrigerator for a few days, you are not afraid of spoilage. Just keep it and eat it slowly.

There is no Spring Festival Gala here for Chinese New Year, and you have to have fun on your own when you watch the New Year's Eve. It's just that Ji's family and Dr. Hu are not fun-loving people, and there are no dominoes, mahjong, or dice in the house. They sat around the kang table and made dumplings together.

It's just that Dr. Hu's hand was as steady as Mount Tai when he was giving acupuncture, but when he picked up the limp dough, it seemed that he couldn't control it, and he couldn't make a dumpling. After trying for a long time, both hands were about to twist Even if we go together, it still won't work.Seeing Ji Chunshan rolling out the skins and wrapping them, and after a while there were two rows of dumplings with pointed ends and round bellies on the curtain. Dr. Hu thought he should not waste food if he specialized in art.

After thinking about it, he put down the stretched dough, patted the flour off his hands, and sat cross-legged on the kang, just waiting to turn around and help eat dumplings.

Ye Qinglan knows how to make dumplings. After coming to Ji's house, he learned from Ji's mother, but he had to teach Ji Ningxu how to make dumplings, and then he made little rabbits and little white pigs for him. In the end, he didn't make many.Ji Chunshan almost made the whole two curtains of dumplings by himself.

Unknowingly, the night was already deep, and even though he took a nap in the afternoon, Ji Ningxu still leaned against Ye Qinglan and dozed off at this time. The three adults were talking and drinking tea. Although they were a little tired, they were still able to bear it. , until the first cock crow sounded on the first day of the new year.

I don’t know who set off firecrackers, followed by the second household and the third household. People near and far away all set up firecrackers. He didn't buy firecrackers, but Ji Chunshan bought a bunch of broken pottery bowls and porcelain plates in the town before. They were all cracked or cracked. They were very cheap. He took them out and asked Ji Ningxu to throw them as firecrackers. play.

Both Ye Qinglan and Dr. Hu were speechless for a while, and in the end only Ji Ningxu fell one, and after saying that the year was safe, it was over.

Ji Chunshan rubbed his nose and went to the kitchen to fill up dumplings.

The dumplings on the first day of junior high school are different from the usual dumplings. There are things that represent good intentions in them. Ji Chunshan put copper coins, dates, peanuts, walnuts, etc. In the end, he ate the ones with copper coins, and Dr. Hu ate the ones with peanuts. , Ji Ningxu ate the one with walnuts, and Ye Qinglan ate the one with dates.

"Zaozi is good. Zaozi will give birth to a precious son early. Xu'er, do you like your younger brother or your younger sister?" Dr. Hu said with a smile, making Ye Qinglan blushed and lowered her head, but Ji Chunshan was surprised. Does that mean that Ye Qinglan's body is ready to give birth to a child? !

After eating the dumplings, the New Year's Eve was over, and Ji Chunshan sent Dr. Hu home.Because Ji's family is the only one in the village with no other relatives, and there are no Spring Festival couplets pasted on the gate of his house, outsiders can tell at a glance that the family's filial piety period has not passed, and those who celebrate the New Year will not come to the door even if they are acquainted.

When Ji Chunshan came back, Ji Ningxu was already fast asleep. After a simple wash, he got on the kang and took off his clothes, and then got into Ye Qinglan's bed.After kissing and touching those things, he fell asleep contentedly with his daughter-in-law in his arms.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family just lay down on the kang and fell asleep for most of the day.

The second day of junior high school is the day when daughters-in-law usually return home. Ye Qinglan's parents are gone, and the only ones nearby are the uncle's family, but there is no need to go back.

The second day of junior high school required noodles, so Ji Chunshan performed a fancy ramen show for Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu at home. He was having fun when he heard someone call the door outside the courtyard.

Ji Chunshan didn't expect who would come at this time, and when he opened the door, he was still shocked.

"Brother Ji, Happy Chinese New Year." Xie Yuan stood outside the door, a sophomore in junior high school, came to wish Ji Chunshan a new year.
