.Chapter 373: Chinese New Year

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaoyue, and New Year's Eve, the Beijing Jeep Wrangler that drove out from the foothills of the Daxinganling Mountains in Heilongjiang Province had traveled hundreds of kilometers over the mountains. After a short rest in Siping, Jilin and Jinzhou, Liaoning, it arrived at the earthquake mountain site in Tangshan, Hebei.

city ​​that rises.

At a gas station in the suburbs of Tangshan, a young man with no expression and seemingly paralyzed face filled up his Wrangler with gas and paid. An older man with droopy white hair bought water and daily necessities from a convenience store under the strange looks of a group of people.

, the watermelon-headed man waited for the elderly uncle to get in the car, then fastened his seat belt and started the Jeep Wrangler. Instead of continuing on the road as usual, he stared ahead and said lightly, "Master, what are we looking for?"

The elderly uncle did not answer the watermelon-headed man's words, but said softly, "Erlong, Master knows that you want to help Sansheng, but now you don't think that if you go, you will become a burden to him."

The watermelon-headed man did not speak, but had a painful look on his face. His eyes slowly closed, and his hands holding the steering wheel became tighter. Scenes appeared in his mind like a movie, but the feeling of powerlessness all over his body made him

I clearly realize that I am just a waste now.

As if he agreed with the words of the elderly uncle he called his master, the watermelon-headed man slowly started the Wrangler, and the two of them hit the road again. They did not enter Tangshan City, nor did they go towards Beijing and Tianjin, but towards Neimeng.

go.

The elderly uncle saw that the watermelon-headed man had calmed down, chuckled, and murmured to himself, "If you break, you will stand. If you don't break, you won't stand. Kunlun, why don't you show up?"

Kunlun, Li Family Kunlun, no one knows whether it is a person or an organization, but no one dares to deny its existence. Twenty years ago, the Li Family Kunlun stopped outside Beijing. Twenty years later, the head of the Li Family returned.

The four servants are about to return to their thrones. Will the Kunlun Li family make a comeback, or will it be the return of the king?

At noon on New Year's Eve, Li Sansheng returned to the old house of the Li family. Suzaku was cleaning up the spiritual tablets of two generations of the Li family. In a small room behind the main hall, it had already been cleaned. Li Sansheng smiled and took Suzaku's things and cleaned the spiritual tablets.

After placing the tributes, cleaning the futon, lighting incense, and kowtow, he looked at the four spiritual tablets placed above and said softly, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, Sansheng is back, and now our family is together."

There are four spiritual plaques on the top. There is no name plaque on the upper left, only the four characters of the head of the Li family. On the upper right, Zhuge Yiren of the Li family, Li Huaxia of the Li family on the lower left, and Liu Qingwu of the Li family on the lower right.

Behind every name is a legendary history. This is the Li family, an ancient family, passed down from generation to generation.

After Li Sansheng came out of the mourning hall, Liu Yiran had already arrived at Li's house. She had already regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Li family and regarded this place as her home. She greeted Suzaku with a smile. The more Suzaku looked at her now, the more she looked at her.

Liu Yiran liked it more and more. After seeing Li Sansheng coming out from behind, Liu Yiran walked over with a slight smile and said softly, "I've already bought the things, let's go."

Li Sansheng nodded, took another erhu from the old house, and the two of them left the courtyard, got in the car, and headed towards Babao Mountain.

On New Year's Eve, there is a custom in Guanzhong to invite ancestors to go home to celebrate the New Year. The Li family has lived in Guanzhong for generations, so naturally they have not forgotten this custom.

After arriving at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, Li Sansheng took Liu Yiran and walked to his parents' tombstones according to the route they took last time with his aunt and uncle. At this time, there were only two of them in the highest-standard tomb area in Babaoshan. Liu Yiran was wearing the same clothes.

Wearing a black suit, black sunglasses, and a black silk scarf around his neck, Li Sansheng was also wearing black clothes.

Looking at the names on the tombstone, Li Sansheng smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, it's Chinese New Year, and I'm here to see you."

The most shocking person at this time was Liu Yiran. Liu Yiran slowly took off his sunglasses and stared at the names on the tombstone. Although he had already guessed the background of the Li family, when he saw it with his own eyes

Still shocked, Li Huaxia of the Li family and Liu Qingwu of the Liu family were once famous men in the Forbidden City.

A god-like woman is lying here quietly at this moment. Their names have long been wiped out with history, but standing in front of her is their only son, which makes her Yin and Yang go wrong.

We met thousands of miles away in Xi'an. Is this fate or fate?

"Dad, Mom, my daughter-in-law is here to see you," Liu Yiran opened her mouth lightly and said calmly.

Li Sansheng turned his head to look at Liu Yiran, Liu Yiran smiled slightly, and Li Sansheng also smiled slightly. At this time, the silence was better than the sound.

The two squatted down and took out the burning paper and paper money they brought and lit them. Li Sansheng fiddled with the paper money and said, "Dad, Mom, today my son and his wife are here to invite you to go home for the New Year. If grandpa and grandma are with you,

, you also take him with you. Grandpa is buried in the public grave in the village. Sansheng cannot go back to invite him in person.

That place is remote and he is alone. I don’t know where grandma’s grave is yet. You should also take her with you. This is the first time our family will celebrate the Reunion Year. Everything is ready at home. Grandpa has a lot of treasures, and he doesn’t know where he is.

I know how good your drinking capacity is, dad. Let me have a good drink when you go back. You can't let your son drink you down."

At the end of the sentence, Li Sansheng laughed at himself, laughing non-stop, but in the end he seemed crazy. Liu Yiran stood beside him, watching Li Sansheng laugh, he laughed, and she laughed too.

In the evening, the two returned to the Li family's old house. Because they had to go back to their respective homes in the evening, Liu Yiran originally insisted on spending the New Year with him. Li Sansheng knew what she meant and said that he had to go to the Liu family in the evening, but Liu Yiran finally gave up.

, so the Li family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was brought forward.

Posting couplets and blessing words, after everything was done, Li Sansheng set off a string of firecrackers outside the door to worship the gods. Everything was in accordance with the customs in the Guanzhong area. Suzaku had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, and the dishes were served. Li Sansheng will

Zhuque please go to the north position. What does Zhuque say?

He was unwilling to do anything, and said with fear that he was just a servant of the Li family and did not dare to take this position. In the end, Li Sansheng sat in this position, with Suzaku sitting on the left and Liu Yiran sitting on the right. They had been in the Li family for a few days.

Tian's little Situ sat below.

It was a mediocre meal, but it was a real New Year's Eve dinner, except that grandpa and Erlong were missing. It was already the second year, and Li Sansheng seemed to have gotten used to it.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Sansheng sent Liu Yiran away. He didn't want Liu Yiran to stay at the Li family for too long, for fear that the Liu family would become more and more dissatisfied with Liu Yiran.

After Liu Yiran left, Li Sansheng and Little Situ sat in the courtyard for a while. Seeing Aunt Zhuque alone at home, they felt a little bit unbearable. They waited until Ziya came to pick him and Little Situ up, then left Li Sansheng.

Home, it is already 7:30 in the evening, there are fewer and fewer vehicles on Chang'an Street, and thousands of households are already preparing for New Year's Eve dinner.

Returning to the Liu family courtyard, laughter and laughter could be heard in the courtyard one after another. You could hear it even before entering the courtyard. Outside the door, several children in the family were setting off cannons under the leadership of cousin Zhengping’s son. The guards at the door were still sacred.

They are inviolable, but their eyes reveal a deep sense of thought.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Liu family's New Year's Eve dinner was finally arranged. There were three large tables in the main hall, one for the elders, one for the juniors, and one for the children. There were also several tables in the front hall, all for Liu.

Home service staff.

According to the rules, Mr. Liu stood up and said a few words. He didn't say anything, but he just wished everyone a good year. Next, Liu Jianwu said a few words, which were also simple. Finally, Liu Zhengping spoke on behalf of the third generation of the Liu family.

Liu Zhengping said a lot in two sentences, and finally stopped when the fourth generation of the Liu family shouted in protest that the dishes were cold.

The family burst out laughing, and Mr. Liu, who was wearing a bright red Tang suit, was even more happy. Because of Li Sansheng's return, this was the Liu family's first reunion year.

There is a large LCD TV in the main hall. The family watches the Spring Festival Gala and eats the New Year's Eve dinner. The younger generations toast to the elders. After that, the peers have a drinking competition with each other, but they all have a sense of proportion.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was still some time before twelve o'clock. Mr. Liu went to bed early because of his health. The remaining members of the Liu family were in a small circle and each found a room to entertain themselves, playing mahjong, poker, and other common activities.

They were exactly the same. Li Sansheng and Liu Zhenghua played mahjong with their uncle and uncle.

When the twelfth day was approaching, the children of the Liu family shouted to go out and set off cannons. Li Sansheng, cousin Zhengping and Ziya took a group of children out to set off cannons, while the others continued to entertain themselves.

The New Year's bell rang, firecrackers went off all over Beijing, fireworks were brilliant, and children were shouting all around. Li Sansheng's face was calm, looking at the night sky with brilliant fireworks, but he suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth.

It’s Chinese New Year...
