Chapter 169 (1/2)
Gu Tuo is trying to send Gu Yuanlong, but the little guy refuses.
”Dad, I have already made it clear to you what should be said. The next thing is between you and your mother, so you can only make it clear together. And Don't you think, mother, why choose this time on the 30th of the new year? This is a wonderful time
See what he means. Does Xia Ying have a good word to say to him?
Gu Tuo was excited.
However, the more he looked forward to it, the more he felt that the time had passed incomparably long. For him, it is like a long time from six years to a small day!
It's easy to wait until the thirties of the new year. Early in the morning, they were all busy.
Gu Tuo takes Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao to clean the house, clean up the tables and chairs, and paste Fu calligraphy couplets. Xia Ying and her sister Fu and Xiao Qi are also busy in the kitchen.
It's so easy to pack up the things. They went to worship their ancestors together with the clan leader. They came back after busy work and served the prepared chicken, duck and fish meat into a meal.
With summer in, their new year's Eve is naturally rich and incomparable.
On Laba day, half of the pigs sent by Master Zhu had already been made into various finished products, and now they are sent to the table separately. Among them are red sausage, round pearl balls, and a stewed lotus root soup with spareribs.
Then, the village net fish, Gu Tuo also went to help, and then brought back a lot of wild fish, including a red crucian carp, Xia Ying made the whole carp steamed fish, placed in the middle of the table.
Then there are fish cake, fish balls, braised chicken, spicy rabbit, barbecue bamboo rat, and several seasonal vegetables, all of which make up a full table.
When he brought the dishes to the table, Gu Tuo solemnly held out several tablets covered with red cloth. He put the memorial tablet on the throne and called on Gu Yuanlong's brother and sister: ”long elder brother, HAOGE Er, Fu elder sister, please kowtow to your ancestors and offer incense. Today we have dinner for the new year of the Communist Party of China.”
Gu Yuanlong and several others came forward to offer incense and kneel down.
Fu's sister is still small, and she is guided by Xia Ying's hand.
After the three children worship, Gu Tuo takes up three sticks of incense and hands it to Xia Ying. ”You still have Xiao Qi. Come and say goodbye to me.”
”Good.”
Xia Ying leads Xiao Qi, and they follow Gu Tuo to offer incense.
Finally, when Gu Tuo offered each cup of wine to the elders, their internal worship finally came to an end.
After that, Gu Tuo turned back and pulled on Xia Ying. ”Well, we can have dinner.”
”Is that how you eat? The memorial tablets of the elders will not be moved back? ” Xia Ying is surprised to ask.
Gu Tuo shakes his head. ”No. During the Spring Festival last year, we did not come back to settle down. We all managed to make ends meet on New Year's Eve. They must have been wronged at that time. Now we settle down here and live a good life. We should let our ancestors have a good look! In this way, they will be satisfied, and they will surely bless us for a better and better coming year
Xia Ying was surprised to hear that. ”Is that what you say? I thought you didn't believe that! ”
”I don't really believe it. However, at this time of day, I still want the people in the underground to accompany us and some children. It's so easy. Now we can take out our hands in our days! ”
For a long time, he just wants to show off to the elders!
Xia Ying understood, she immediately nodded. ”Well, now let the ancestors enjoy the new year's Eve dinner together at the top and where to buy it.”
Gu Tuo nods in a hurry, and he pulls on Xia Ying and takes his family to the table.
This rich new year's Eve dinner, as early as Xia Ying was busy in the kitchen, the children could not help but run to the kitchen, trying to steal.
It's so easy to finish all the rituals. Everyone can be regarded as a big and square chopsticks. The whole family immediately ignored their reserve and quickly lifted up the chopsticks and started to move!
And in order to cater to the festive atmosphere of the new year's Eve, Xia Ying also specially brewed a jar of rice wine.
This wine is a little bit wine, but not top, but sour and sweet, very delicious.
She gave the children a cup each, and then the rest was justly drunk by her and Gu Tuo!
At the end of the day, of course, a table of so many dishes was not finished, but the red carp was eaten by the family, but the fish head and tail were perfectly preserved.
