Luo Jin’an was not looking at his clothes at that moment. Instead, he stared at his wife with a mesmerizing gaze.
Su Binglan’s heart pounded as she looked away and said, “I’m going to wash up and help Mother prepare breakfast.”
She quickly got off the bed and moved toward the door, but Luo Jin’an grabbed her hand, saying, “Wait, it’s your turn to try on your new clothes.”
Su Binglan blushed and felt an electric shock go through her hand. She and Luo Jin’an were so close that she could smell his pleasant scent. Although it was refreshing, it made her heart beat frantically.
Su Binglan felt a genuine familiarity with her husband, and she could not explain why. Soon after, she put on her new clothes as she blushed.
Luo Jin’an was stunned when he saw his wife. Su Binglan had planned to make her clothes the same colors as Luo Jin’an’s. She thought he would say something, but he did not.
Instead, he hugged her tightly for a while before finally saying, “You must be hungry. Let’s wash up and have breakfast.”
His voice was so gentle that it made Su Binglan feel sweet and warm inside.
“All right, let’s go.”
The family had breakfast together while wearing their new clothes. They smiled non-stop, even as they started to prepare lunch. Although the family thought they had all morning to prepare, the timing was tight.
That was because the family had an altar dedicated to their ancestors, and Su
Fengzhang, Su Fengmao, Su Fengzhi, and Su Fengchen had to help prepare
the sacrificial materials.
Each family had altars to visit, and they had to prepare food and other things to send there. Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua attached great importance to the altar.
“Make sure to bring the cakes we prepared for the sacrifice. Don’t forget the chicken, fish, wine, and incense.’
Everyone was busy preparing for the altar visit. Afterward, Su Fengmao said,
“Wenzhe, help me send these to your grandmother’s house and come home.
After preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner, we’ll go there.”
Although the whole Su family lived separately, everyone would gather and eat at the old residence for New Year’s Eve. The family also gathered to be by Old Master Su and Old Madam Su e s side.
The four generations of the family typically gathered under one roof, creating a lively atmosphere. It was a yearly tradition everyone loved, including the Su family.
However, it was more lively this year because everyone’s living conditions had improved exponentially.
Moreover, the Su family’s influence in the village was substantial, and everyone respected them. Everyone looked relaxed when they reunited and talked.
Shen Qiuhua was so busy that she could barely breathe. She said, “We must prepare fish, chicken, and pig heads for lunch. We must also get the rice, cakes, and steamed buns ready. Then everyone can eat whatever they want.”
“Mother, I’ll prepare the pig heads.”
“I’ll make the fish.’
“We can cook the chicken.’
“You guys can do that while I make the rice.”
The Su brothers participated to show that they could work together. They prepared the rice and dishes first for everyone to eat. Although everyone was busy, they chatted nonstop as they worked.
Su Wenxiu was busy with the dishes as he said, “Sister, where did you put the chili?”
Su Binglan was preparing the seasonings when she heard her brother’s question. She took the chili and said, “Over there. I placed the rest of the seasonings on the table.”
Liu Yinyin went to get some of the seasonings and said smilingly, “Your seasonings make cooking much more convenient, Binglan. It saves us a lot of trouble from making them ourselves.”
Su Wenxiu agreed, “That’s right. 1 feel my culinary skills improving by using your seasonings.”
“l can’t wait to eat the rice.’
“l have my eyes on the cakes.”
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to eating the cakes, too,” Liu Yinyin said, “l also want to eat the sweet potato cakes Binglan made because it tastes so unique.”
After going to the old residence to deliver the sacrificial things, Su Wenzhe returned home to help. When he entered the house, he smiled and said, “l want to try all the food at once.”
The family was working hard together but started laughing when they heard that. They prepared a sumptuous lunch as a family and soon sat around the table, eating and laughing the whole time.
Soon after, Su Fengmao took the wine and poured a glass for everyone. They clinked their glasses and took turns saying nice things.
“This year’s celebrations is a much happier occasion. May we be happy and have more than enough food every year.”
“l wish our family a continuously improving life.”
“l wish for constant happiness.”
“l want to thank my little sister for teaching me everything she knows. She helped me gain people’s respect.”
“Yes, let’s wish Father and Mother good health and longevity!’
“l wish for our family to stay united and harmonious.”
“l wish for us to have many blessings!’
Everyone shared their wishes, creating a lively and joyous atmosphere. After lunch, the family went to the old residence. It was even more lively when the whole family gathered.
Fortunately, the old residence was vast and could accommodate many people. Hence, everyone went there with their prepared things.
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su smiled when they saw their younger family members. They were thrilled that four generations of the family were under one roof.
The older couple were even more thrilled to see their great-grandchildren, Su
Xuehai and Su Xuexuan.
The little ones called out to their great-grandparents, making them laugh aloud. The older couple had even prepared some candies for them.
Meanwhile, Ding Wan, Mrs. Liu, Shen Qiuhua, and Miao Zhizhi kneaded the dough and prepared the filling for the dumplings.
“We always ate the main dishes for New Year’s Eve dinner in the past,” Ding Wan said, “Eating dumplings this time seems more meaningful. Everyone in the village makes dumplings for dinner.”
“Eating dumplings and vegetables creates a more festive atmosphere. What’s most important is that the dumplings are delicious. Let’s make more tonight.” “That’s right, but that means we’ve got more fillings to make.”
“Right, right, hahaha!”
As the ladies chatted, Su Fengzhang went to his brothers with his son and said, “The firecrackers are ready. Let’s set them off before and after dinner.”
Su Fengmao responded, “Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ve already hung them up. We can set them off later.’
Su Fengzhang replied, “l bought firecrackers for the children to play with. I’ll give some to Xuexuan and Xuehai to play with, but you have to keep an eye on them.”
Su Fengchen added, “Zhizhi prepared small lanterns for them. The kids should have fun playing with those.”
As the family talked, the sound of firecrackers echoed outside. Every household in the village set off firecrackers in the middle of the afternoon. The sound alone was enough to excite the surrounding people..
