"Brother Li, how are you at home?"

Sitting in the co-pilot of the newly purchased Lincoln Navigator, Xu Xin yawned a little tiredly.

That crazy girl doesn't want to die this afternoon.

It almost broke Xu Sanjin’s hip bone.

You are so crazy!

Really...

"Good."

Li Hao nodded:

"Several new mines are under construction. This year, the No. 1 mine in the village will receive a dividend of more than 3 million yuan. It's all very good~"

"Um……"

Xu Xin no longer looks down on dividends, but some people in the village are the kind of conscientious people who don't want to bother, and they all rely on dividends.

So after following Li Hao's words, he asked again:

"How is my dad? How is his health? Can Aunt Xue take care of people?"

"It's not Aunt Xue anymore."

In front of Xu Xin, Li Hao said something.

Xu Xin's mouth twitched when he heard that...

"Has it been changed?"

"Well, she was going to study in Europe, so we separated."

"…Who is it now?"

"When I came back from visiting you last time, I met a flight attendant on the plane. Her surname was Zhao."

"..."

Old man, you are just playing...

It’s too expensive.

With some emotion, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly:

"What's this guy like?"

"Not bad, but he is young, willful and can spend money. I just went to Xiangjiang a few days ago and spent one or two hundred on shopping and entertainment. But he has a sweet mouth and can make people happy."

"...Tsk. There's no such thing as...a serious person, someone who can be of the same mind as the old man, and be down-to-earth?"

"This... I don't have it yet. But I guess this one will be replaced soon."

"...Why?"

"I went to Xiangjiang a few days ago and this girl made an appointment with some of her best friends..."

"..."

Li Hao didn't finish speaking, but Xu Xin already "understood" it.

He would not...nor dare to think about the relationship between the old man and these "few" best friends.

That's his dad.

If you really think about it...it's really unimaginable.

Just moments of embarrassment...

So I could only end the topic speechlessly, open the car window and light a cigarette.

An hour later, at around ten o'clock, Xu Xin returned home.

As usual, Xu Daqiang was the first to rush out with a mouthful of longing for "Nidi Baby", followed by Xu Miao, Zhang Qianqian... and the youthful and beautiful "Aunt Zhao".

be honest.

Compared with my little girlfriend, she is in the sky and on the earth.

However, he still said hello kindly without bothering him:

"Aunt Zhao."

Then, although the whole family had already eaten, as the saying goes, dumplings are put on the bus and noodles are put down, Xu Daqiang still soothed his son's homesick soul with a bowl of authentic mutton noodles.

Just like the quiet and thick hot land of Shenmu County.

Welcome him as a wanderer...

Gone home.

…

"How are things going?"

After hearing what his father said, Xu Xin naturally knew... what he cared about was not the movie, but the Olympics. But there were still outsiders in the family, so it was difficult to explain clearly.

So he nodded:

"It's very good. The plan has been submitted and the results should be available after the year."

After hearing this, Xu Daqiang relaxed:

"Okay, okay, great, great, great... How long will it take to stay until the end of the year? Will the new year be completed?"

"If I can't finish it, I will have to leave on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and I will be busy filming movies."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xu Daqiang was a little disappointed...

Although you can go see your son if you want, after all, according to everyone's habits, separation is not considered separate only at home. And meeting anywhere other than home is just a visit or a get-together at best.

But...

The baby has a future.

Don't stop.

What's more, there is good news...

"This year our family will be the first to sit at the table! The red invitations have been issued, and the banquet is all organized by our family! What do you want to eat?"

"oh?"

Xu Xin's eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Wouldn't it be too much to complete the entire disc..."

"It's too much. If you don't eat the whole dish, how can you eat the whole dish?"

"Then the whole disc!"

"...Well, the whole disc!"

The so-called full plate is actually the collective name for killing three animals to offer sacrifices to heaven, binding three birds to offer sacrifices to earth, and twelve bowls of complete blessings.

Pigs, cattle and sheep are the three animals, chickens, ducks and geese are the three animals, and the twelve bowls are made of twelve kinds of solid fruits such as oranges, persimmons, apples and grapefruits. Do not use hollow ones, it is disrespectful and will be taboo for future generations.

.Then there are twelve vegetarian dishes and twelve meat dishes.

In addition to offering the heads of three animals to their ancestors as sacrifices, the tribesmen will start worshiping their ancestors in the morning on New Year's Eve, have dinner at noon, and then pack the leftovers from the ancestor worship in the evening and add their own meals at home for the New Year's Eve dinner, and in the evening

That meal of dumplings.

This is the process.

The whole day of New Year's Eve can almost be said to have been spent busy.

Whichever family has made the greatest contribution to the village this year will invite guests and sit at the table closest to the ancestors.

Of course, this has only been changed in the past few years.

In the past, when Xujiawan was poor, everyone would pool their money, and whoever raised the most would sit at the first table.

At that time, Xujiawan was very poor and had no choice, so the whole village gathered their strength to worship their ancestors. What should some families who couldn't afford meat do? They would divide the meat from the ancestor worship and take it home for the New Year.

But now that we have money, ancestor worship has changed from "working together to make everyone have a good year with meat" to "whose family is the most prosperous this year, and whichever family invites everyone to eat meat and have a good year."

There is nothing particularly special about it, but in fact all of this is just to make the people of a village unite more closely.

If the people in a village are harmonious and beautiful, the ancestors will be happy to see them.

That’s why it’s so simple and unpretentious.

When they first became rich, everyone was still competing to see whose family made the most money. But gradually, the competition was about who contributed more to the village, built more roads, or helped more, or what they did...

This year there is no comparison.

No matter how many roads are built, how many primary schools are built, or how much money everyone makes... Xu Xin alone can't do much.
To be continued...
