You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Su Chen was awakened by little Ayun's crying.

After hurriedly changing the little guy's diaper and getting up to prepare milk powder for him, Su Chen heard whispers coming from outside.

As I went out with little Ayun, who was feeding, I heard Liu Chunhua muttering, "Can you please be quicker? You're always so slow."

Old Man Su said disdainfully: "Why are you in such a hurry? The child hasn't woken up yet."

"How can you buy good food if you don't hurry up?"

"Shhhh, be quiet. Ah Chen slept so late last night. Don't wake him up."

"Didn't you hear Ah Yun crying? She should have woken up long ago..."

Old man Su wanted to argue, but when he raised his head, his throat choked.

Seeing this, Liu Chunhua turned around and smiled at Su Chen.

"Ah Chen, are you going to the city today? Well, your dad wants to give New Year's money to your nephews. Isn't he worried about his legs not being able to move well? Can you give them a ride?"

Su Chen nodded: "No problem."

His eyes fell on the stove, where the ingredients had been distributed in small bowls.

Seeing that he was looking at it seriously, Liu Chunhua explained with a smile: "It's for ancestor worship."

Su Chen nodded: "Mom, you burn it normally, I will burn incense later."

"Hey, okay, that's part of it. Your dad will go to town to buy some more and cook it this afternoon. By the way, Ah Chen, are you going to the city today?"

"Well, go write some Spring Festival couplets and bring back a few when the time comes."

"Old man, do you hear me? Don't waste your money on Spring Festival couplets like a fool again."

Old Man Su scratched his ears and said, "I know, I know."

"Dad, you don't need to prepare firecrackers. I'll bring them back later."

Old Man Su grinned: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Liu Chunhua couldn't bear to see him happy, so she immediately ordered him to empty the toilet.

"No one has woken up yet..." Old man Su muttered, and Liu Chunhua raised the spatula. He didn't dare to say anything, and quickly put down the tongs and went to lift the toilet.

Su Chen had become accustomed to the old couple's interaction like this. He sat in the kitchen holding little Ayun in his arms. The firelight danced on his and little Ayun's faces. Liu Chunhua glanced at them and started muttering again.

"Ah Chen, go with your dad to give out New Year's money this morning, and buy some good food. Remember to take a pig's trotter; your dad likes to nibble on it. I'll stew it until it's a little mushy. Also, buy some prawns; the kids love them. And..."

Su Chen cooperated by humming from time to time.

Little Ayun also followed and said twice.

The crackling sound of the firewood in the stove matched the sound of Liu Chunhua chopping vegetables, creating an unexpected harmony.

Su Chen slowly added firewood into it.

"Achen, you have to come back early today. Let the children take a bath before eating New Year's Eve dinner. I have to wash all the clothes later..."

……

Liu Chunhua talked a lot at the end.

"Hey, Ah Chen, will Xiao Xian come to our house for New Year's Eve dinner?"

Su Chen: “???”

"Mom, come if you want. We have plenty of melon seeds and peanut candies."

"That won't work. We need to prepare a table for Xiaoxian'er in advance."

Su Chen exhaled: "I'll listen to you."

Although Liu Chunhua was a bit long-winded, she worked very quickly and quickly fried two plates of rice cakes.

Wrapped in egg liquid, it is crispy when bitten, and very sweet and sticky inside. Paired with the sour and sweet stew soup made of tofu and enoki mushrooms, Su Chen's mouth is full of oil.

After eating five slices in one go, Su Chen burped.

Liu Chunhua carried little Ayun, who had fallen asleep again, into the house, looked at the child again, and came out to see Old Man Su chewing slowly, so she urged him to eat.

Old man Su had no choice but to pick up a piece and chew it while packing up the red envelope.

"Let's go. If you don't leave, your mother will get angry again."

"You know..."

Before Liu Chunhua finished speaking, her eyes flashed: "Hey, I haven't finished yet..."

Then he smiled again and started to boil water.

After the water in the pot boiled, she took a kitchen knife and went to the backyard to catch three old hens, and wiped the meat on their necks.

Along with the old hen, the old sow from Hu Shiliang's family also screamed.

The shrill screams woke up Ah Hu and Atang.

The two of them yawned, got up, washed up, and walked towards the Su family.

Liu Chunhua saw them coming and pointed to the basin where the old hen was soaking in boiling water.

"Ah Hu, Ah Tang, hurry up, let's pluck the hair together!"

The two of them immediately rolled up their sleeves.

On the other side, Su Chen did not take Old Man Su to give the New Year's money, but went to the city, asked twice, and then went to the big vegetable market.

Old Man Su was stunned for a moment, and after entering the vegetable market which was much larger than the one in town, he immediately stopped talking and looked around.

"Dad, let's go get the pig's trotters from my third sister. Let's buy some more seafood here. These meatballs look good too. What do you think of the spring rolls?"

Old Man Su was dazzled by the sight. He held the bag of red envelopes in his hand and nodded, "I think they all look good. It's New Year's Day, so buy more!"

After hearing this, Su Chen relaxed and after a round of shopping, the two of them were carrying a lot of bags.

Su Chen also met an acquaintance.

"Master? Are you here to buy groceries too?"

Su Chen squinted his eyes and looked carefully, finally recognizing him: "Huang Zhongxiong?"

"Yes, yes, it's me. Master, do you still remember me? Look, I didn't buy mushrooms today." Huang Zhongxiong opened the bag ostentatiously for Su Chen to see.

Su Chen: "..."

After hesitating for a moment, he coughed lightly and reminded: "You bought too many river shrimps. You should eat them all. Eat less oranges."

Huang Zhongxiong: "Ah?"

"Oh oh oh, I remember Master."

After leaving the vegetable market, they went home with their bags. By then, Liu Chunhua and the others had finished plucking the feathers.

Old Man Su frowned: "Didn't we agree that I would come?"

"Everything is waiting for you. The daylilies are already cold." Liu Chunhua stood up and rummaged through the large bags. She nodded with satisfaction, then frowned, "Where are the pig's trotters?"

"Mom, take it later when you go to give your third sister the New Year's money."

Under the pretext of giving out lucky money, Su Chen took a closer look at the other sisters this time.

It was probably New Year's Eve, and everyone was busy. Old Man Su gave out the New Year's money and left without even drinking the sweet soup. He only went to Su Xiaoyan's place last.

She was already very busy in the market, and her two children, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan, were also helping her obediently.

Seeing the red envelope, Su Xiaoyan frowned: "Why give it on New Year's Eve? No need, no need..."

Old Man Su glared: "I gave it to my grandson, not yours, why are you pushing it?"

He smiled and stuffed the food into Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan's mouths before reminding them, "Closing the stall early today, don't tire the children out."

"Yes, yes, your grandson is the most precious, okay? Go back quickly and don't delay my business."

Su Chen picked up the pig's trotter with a smile, paid the money, and dragged Old Man Su out of the vegetable market.

When I returned home again, Ahu, Atang and Honghong were eating rice cakes. Liu Chunhua was nowhere to be seen. After asking, I found out that she had given chickens to her eldest and fourth brothers.

Just as Su Chen was about to go to the city, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Achen? Is Achen here?"

The voice is deafening.

Old Man Su stood up and walked to the door, puzzled. Seeing that it was Hu Shiliang's daughter-in-law, he asked hurriedly, "What are you doing?"

"Hurry, hurry, Lao Zhang's grandson fell into the dry toilet!"
