Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

The countdown for the Spring Festival Gala came from next door.

When the clock struck midnight, Su Chen drank the last sip of hot water and stood up.

"Master Su, are you going back?"

"Yes."

"Then remember to pick me up tomorrow. I haven't completely understood the position of the formation today, and I haven't learned the formula for attracting thunder yet. I want to ask you."

Su Chen cleared his throat: "No need to ask, I'll draw it for you."

There's really no need for us to communicate.

Wang Haitao was surprised: "Is it really possible?"

Su Chen stepped out of the ghost road and arrived at the head of Niuwei Village. He just happened to see a sneaky figure.

A closer look revealed that it was Ah Xiong.

The latter ran to the small land temple at the bottom of the hill with firecrackers and incense, respectfully lit incense, and bowed three times.

"Lord of the Land, I'm the first one to light incense again this year. This is the third year. This year, you must bless me to make a fortune, and bless my father to be healthy!"

"Thank you very much!"

He stood up, looked around, and lit the firecrackers.

The crackling sound woke up several families nearby.

Su Chen heard the angry voice.

"Who is it, you are crazy, burning incense just after midnight!"

"Can't you let me sleep? I've managed to hold on until now."

"Was it the same last year? Don't let me catch who it is!"

"Don't cry, don't cry, Xiaobao, let me see who the bastard is..."

Axiong shrunk his neck and ran to the village entrance, and went back home from the back.

Su Chen couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this.

Cuicheng has always had a tradition of grabbing the first incense.

But Niuwei Village is remote after all, and there are not many people, so no one is utilitarian and grabs the first incense. Villagers always get up at three or four o'clock, and neighbors make appointments to go to burn incense together.

It seems that Brother Axiong is really trying hard to get rich. From what he said, he has been the first to burn incense for the past three years!

Interesting.

When I entered the house, Liu Chunhua and Old Man Su were still awake. They were making a nest for the squirrel Xiaoxian.

According to Liu Chunhua, it was the New Year, and Xiaoxian's nest must not be made of old clothes and rags.

Therefore, Old Man Su took advantage of the time before the New Year to quickly split bamboo strips and weave bamboo baskets, while Liu Chunhua dismantled and modified her new cotton clothes to make cotton balls and spread them in the bamboo basket.

The two worked for most of the day and cleaned up the house. Now they gathered around the bamboo basket to put food in it, fearing that Xiaoxian would be hungry.

Su Chen helped and went back to the house. After putting little Ayun down, he put the New Year's money under the little guy's pillow, and confirmed that it was Acai and Yueyue's, and then he lay down with peace of mind.

A new year, everything is new.

Su Chen got up early in the morning, changed into new clothes, put on the shoes that An Jianhuan gave him, but still didn't wear a coat.

He went to the kitchen and boiled a pot of hot water, and Liu Chunhua came out with clothes on.

"Mom, Happy New Year, everything goes well."

"Okay, Achen, you too, make a fortune in the New Year!"

After saying auspicious words, the two began to cook in tacit understanding.

According to Cuicheng's tradition, people eat vegetarian food on the first day of the New Year, and have vermicelli for breakfast.

The Su family doesn't like vermicelli very much. More than ten years ago, Liu Chunhua didn't follow this tradition and fried rice cakes directly.

She had cut all the rice cakes last night, and now she put them in the egg liquid and boiled them. When the oil was hot, they put them in, and there was a sizzling sound.

The aroma of fried food attracted Old Man Su to the kitchen. He rarely opened his mouth and said auspicious words. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he picked up the incense, candles and firecrackers and went out to worship the God of Land.

Seeing this, Su Chen picked up the big incense he had bought before, lit it and inserted it at the door.

The remaining one was kept for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Then he lit a few more small incense sticks to pay tribute to the God of Kitchen and the heaven and earth.

After setting off the firecrackers, Su Chen immediately went into the house.

Sure enough, Acai and the others had been woken up.

Su Chen didn't say a word, looked at little Ayun, and saw that the little guy was sleeping soundly, so he came out again.

In another room, Honghong and Apeng came out wearing new clothes, went to find their younger brothers and sisters, and helped them put on clothes. Several little kids came out hand in hand.

"Grandma and Dad, Happy New Year, Congratulations on your prosperity!"

Liu Chunhua was so happy to hear the little ones saying auspicious words with Honghong.

"Good, good, good, all happy, all rich."

When the children washed their faces and brushed their teeth, Liu Chunhua had already cooked five plates of vegetarian dishes, and Old Man Su also came back.

Putting the last bowl of soup on the table, she wiped her scarf and reminded Su Chen: "Go pick up Xiao Wang."

Wang Haitao brought paper and pen, and did not forget to wink at Su Chen during the meal.

Su Chen: "..."

After dinner, he took the paper and pen and quickly drew a picture for him, dragged a chair by himself, sat in the main room, ate melon seeds and watched the children running and jumping outside.

Old Man Su was not idle after dinner, holding a hookah and shouting at Lao Tan to get the chess, saying that he would kill him without leaving a single piece of armor.

Lao Tan looked good this morning.

He said a few auspicious words, turned his head and saw Su Chen and asked, "Ah Chen, are you all at home today?"

"Look at what you said, who is still working on the first day of the new year?" Old Man Su glanced at him, "Don't be so long-winded, hurry up!"

Su Chen was originally interested and wanted to go over and take a look, but when he saw them walk a few steps, he immediately retreated.

It's better to close your eyes and rest.

He tilted the backrest bamboo chair back, stood steadily, half lying down as if he was asleep.

Honghong and Apeng came out and called Dad a few times. Seeing this, they stopped shouting, slowed down their pace, and ran away happily.

"Sister, I'm going to find Brother Hui."

"Well, don't play with firecrackers."

"Sister, I want to throw stones."

"I want some too, I want some too..."

"Okay, sister will take you, this way!"

...

There are a lot of things that children in the mountains can play with, but not too much either.

Honghong took her younger brother and sister to the stream to throw small stones, some children played with ice in the fields, and some just ate ice.

Some naughty and brave children bent down to look for unlit firecrackers in the firecracker debris, holding a stick of incense in their hands, and threw them specifically into the children and women, causing everyone to scream.

Naturally, there were also children who spent their New Year's money to buy big firecrackers from the canteen, stuffed them under the dog's butt, and scared the dog to jump three feet high, barking non-stop, and threw them into the chicken coop, and the old hens fled collectively, jumping onto the wall, and some even threw them directly into the dry toilet, and some people rushed out with their butts white, cursing and chasing the children wildly.

Taking advantage of the fact that adults cannot be scolded or beaten on the first day of the new year, the naughty children in Niuwei Village did their best to make a scene.

Su Chen raised his lips slightly.

Niuwei Village seemed to be more lively and lively than ever before.

And he also had a rare chance to take a break.

This leisurely time lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Su Chen was still sleeping with his eyes closed while holding little Ayun, there were footsteps coming hurriedly.

"Uncle Liang?"

Hu Shiliang smiled at him.

"Achen, there was a call to the village committee. It was from Aliang, saying that his friend's car overturned."

"Aliang?"

Su Chen then remembered his eldest nephew.

"Did he go to the town to play today?"

Hu Shiliang shook his head: "Not our town, but to the neighboring Lingtou Town."
