The weather on New Year's Eve is very normal and there is not much difference for a few days. Specifically, even if it is the coldest time in winter, the temperature will not continue to drop.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was also a light snowfall. Everyone said that the auspicious snow was a sign of a good year. The old people in the village said that seeing how poor the snow fell this year, next year must be a good harvest year.

After a day of snow, the sky finally cleared up on New Year's Eve.People in the village get up very early to start preparations for the New Year.

Not to mention Su Guan and his family, Wang Sang had to get up early to cook, and Su Guan was making fertilizer for the three cows.And the three children got up so early, purely to be able to put on the long-awaited new clothes.

In fact, in modern times, there is also the custom of wearing new clothes during the New Year, but since ancient times, the Su family has always been very poor. I thought that this year I would not be able to buy clothes for the children. This time, every child It is also a very happy thing to get clothes.

Although I got the clothes half a month ago, the children have never been willing to wear them, and they are all looking forward to this day of the New Year's Eve.

So after getting up in the morning, the children put on new clothes.Su Yu's is a bright red one with beautiful golden silk peonies on it. This was the most beautiful of all the clothes the old lady gave her when she was in the Jin Mansion.

Su Fang's is a light pink one, and it happens to be embroidered with lotus flowers. When Su Yu got up early, she even applied the newly bought rouge to Su Fang, and combed her hair, so Su Fang now looks, But a beautiful one.

Su Bai's is a small golden gown, because it was also taken out of the Jin Mansion, so it can be seen that it is Jin Si's childhood clothes.However, the most indispensable thing in this gold shop is this kind of thing. Judging from the clothes, it is probably new. Su Bai has become able to eat a lot in winter, so the family is not short of food now. , but actually made Su Bai fatter a lot.Now that the clothes of Jin Si are worn on him, it doesn't look much bigger.

When Xiao Fei brought Su Yu's house to organize things, she also brought Wang Sang and Su Gu'an's clothes, but the couple were the most careful and reluctant to put them on, so they still wore the same clothes as before.

Before breakfast, Su Guan also set off a string of firecrackers, saying that it is a custom to set off firecrackers before eating, so that everything will go smoothly next year.

There was nothing too good about breakfast, but the family had a very happy reunion.After breakfast, the whole family went out to post Spring Festival couplets.

For so many years, Su Guan bought a full set of couplets for the first time, with powerful fonts and dancing dragons and phoenixes.After pasting the Spring Festival couplets on the door frame, the family also pasted an upside-down blessing character in the middle of the door, which represents praying for "blessing comes". Moreover, Su Guan also bought a lot of small stickers this time, which read Some auspicious words such as "the six livestock are prosperous", Su Gu'an posted this on the chicken rack, and also posted a post on the pillar beside the cow pen.

It is worth mentioning that Su Yu noticed that the couplets are not glued here, but white flour is used to make a paste. It is white and sticky, but it is easier to use than glue.

A few days ago, Su Yu went to his grandfather's house with Su Gu'an, and brought some things to their family's New Year's greetings. At that time, Su Yu also met the uncle and aunt who had been working in Sucheng before. He looks rich and rich, and his speech is much more educated than this rural person. I have to admit that it is still beneficial to go to the metropolis to develop.

Before, Su Yu also thought about taking the whole family to Sucheng or Jiangnan to settle down when the family conditions were better in the future, but he didn't know what the family members meant, it seemed that he would have to discuss it with the family members when he had the opportunity in the future.

When sticking Spring Festival couplets, several children brought novice braids, and Su Yu also wove scarves and hats for the children with the wool she spun before. I think this craft was something she learned when she was in college. For self-entertainment, I don't wear it after weaving. I didn't expect it to be useful in ancient times.

"I'll go find the corn stalks, and find some mung beans..." Su Gu'an looked at the Spring Festival couplets and found that the sticky ones were still good, so he murmured.

"Why are you looking for corn stalks and mung beans?" Su Yu asked suspiciously.

But at this time, Su Gu'an had gone far away, so Su Yu looked at Su Fang, but Su Fang didn't know, so she shook her head.

Not long after, Su Gu'an came back with corn stalks and a handful of mung beans.He first split the corn stalks, took half of them, and then washed both things with clean water, picked out twelve better beans and inserted them side by side in the middle of the corn stalks.

After everything was put away, I put the whole corn stalk with mung beans in my water tank.

Su Yu looked at it for a long time and still didn't understand what it was doing. Could it be to pray for auspiciousness next year?
Su Gu'an explained to Su Yu, "This is actually a custom, and I don't know if it's accurate. It just soaks the beans and takes them out. According to the degree of water soaked in the beans, we can infer the next year's rain. "

Su Yu nodded, it turned out there was such a saying.In fact, it may not be accurate, but it is just for peace of mind in this ancient time when there is no weather forecast.

"Then I will pray that the weather will be smooth next year!" Su Yu said, lying on the side of the water tank and watching the corn stalks undulating in the water, also full of hope.

Unexpectedly, she was reprimanded by Wang Sang because of such an unintentional move: "Dayu, don't lie down and look at the water tank, you are so big, you can't fall down, what if Su Bai follows you?" ? Today is the Chinese New Year, and it is auspicious to fill the water tank with water. In the past, I was afraid that Su Bai would fall, so I would not dare to bring it back full of water."

When Su Yu heard this, she hurriedly left the water tank. If she fell, it would not be a joke, so stay away.

"Mother, what time do we have the god dinner today?" Su Yu grinning and approached Wang Sang, who was weaving. The loom made a creaking sound because of Wang Sang's movements, so that Yu has to raise the volume.

"Naturally, you have to start eating when you receive the god meal. In the afternoon, we will have a meal first, but it will be earlier than the usual lunch time, and then you will take your brother and sister to sleep on the kang, otherwise It’s time to hear the midnight.” Wang Sang didn’t look back, his subordinates were busy all the time, and their eyes were fixed on the loom. During the time of talking like this, the cloth under Wang Sang’s subordinates was already much longer than before. few.

Su Yu secretly thought about the customs of the Chinese New Year here, and it has to be so late.At that time in modern times, at night, she would watch the Spring Festival Gala with her family and eat the New Year’s Eve dinner. After the meal, it would be almost midnight, but at this time, she would Meet up with a few friends and go to the nightclub.There are no entertainment facilities here, and she is still a little worried about how she stayed up to play so much this night.

But suddenly she thought of it, the poker cards that the people in the town had previously asked to make had arrived.So he turned out the playing cards from the small cabinet on the kang.

This was drawn by Su Yu when he accompanied Jin Si to school at Jin's house. At that time, he felt that there were no entertainment facilities and wanted to make a deck of playing cards to pass the time.Later, a few days ago, when he saw Wu Feng in the town, Su Yu came up with the idea of ​​promoting these games.

In ancient times, there were gambling houses, and as long as the relationship between the upper and lower levels was well established, it would not be illegal to open a gambling house.However, Su Yu didn't want these chess and card workshops of his to become a place where fish and dragons mixed together, so Su Yu was more troubled about how to develop them well.

It's not that she has never thought about spending money directly to open a chess and card workshop, but the initial investment is too large, and there is no profit, because she doesn't know how to make money from players.Then we can only develop this chess and card as a consistent feature of the restaurant, and then promote this chess and card as the restaurants continue to chain in the future.

So Su Yu has already drawn up the letter, and the higher-ups have already agreed with Wu Feng that it is better to start with the big families first, and when people in the upper class like this kind of game, then promote chess and card to the common people between.And in that letter, Su Yu also carefully wrote out several ways to play mahjong, and also drew the appearance of mahjong, telling Wu Feng to find someone to play mahjong again.In fact, Su Yu originally wanted to draw a picture of the Three Kingdoms Killing, but in the end he gave up because he didn't know any heroes in this world, and the people here probably didn't know the characters of the Three Kingdoms.

She, Su Yu, wanted the rich and the poor to catch both, the elegant and the vulgar, and she would not let anyone go.

Wang Sang saw that Su Yu took out such a pair of things from nowhere, and asked with some doubts: "Da Yu, this is also brought by the gold landlord?" Some strange things, who else can do it, so he asked about such a thing.

Su Yu played a sloppy eye, and leaned on Landlord Jin: "No, this is so much, even this thing was brought."

"Then what is this for?" Wang Sang was still busy on the ground, so Su Fang asked this question.

"It's just for games. Those people use it to pass the time when they have nothing to do." Su Yu took the poker out of the small box and placed it on the kang. Because she can't draw the characters on it, the poker is still Very simple, just with colors and numbers.

"Come on, let me teach you how to play!" Su Yu greeted Su Fang and Su Bai. He wanted to call Su Gu'an together, but when he saw this man, he didn't know whose house he was visiting. Wang Sang was still there. Busy with weaving, Su Yu could only call for her two children.
