"Xiaomei, have a dumpling." On the way back to the grave, Lu Wei's father took out a cold dumpling from the remaining meal.

"Dad, why should I eat this? It's all cold."

"Eat it, the old customs are like this, and eating it is good." Lu Wei's father said, and he took out one and ate it.

"Oh, I understand." Lu Mei started eating obediently. Although it was a little cold, it tasted good after adding shrimp.

"Dad, do you think grandma and the others can really receive our stuff?" Lu Mei asked curiously.

"How can that be? It's just to express my longing."

"Then why do we disappear when we come to visit the grave again during the Qingming Festival?"

"Haha, let the birds eat it." Lu Wei's father said, and suddenly saw a man picking something in front of a grave with a big pocket, and couldn't help but laugh, "Look, that's the stupid son of Zhou Cun, the big fool of our village, who is picking up a sacrifice on someone's grave."

"That's so dirty, it's all covered with dirt." Lu Mei frowned and said.

"It's a good thing to go to him. His father doesn't give him enough food all year round. This autumn, I saw him breaking raw corn in the field to eat. This guy's stomach is very good." Lu Wei's father said with a smile.

"Then he is not afraid." The child was afraid of the grave. Lu Mei and her father were a little scared when they visited the grave just now, but when they thought that the grandmother lived inside, they were a little worse. Now they couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"What's so scary? Besides, they are all good things. Usually he can't eat them. Now he's so happy to pick them up. He can pick up a bag in a long time, haha."

The two of them walked and chatted, and then they returned home in a while.

"It smells so good, mom, what are you doing?" Lu Mei shouted as soon as she entered the room.

"I'm cooking fish, I'm back. Come and help me choose the dishes." Lu Wei's mother was busy in front of the pot and said without raising her head.

"Oh, I know."

"Hey, call his grandma here later. The old lady is alone at home, don't let her do it."

"I'll ask Xiaomei to call me later. I have to make that chicken. What you cook is not delicious." Dad said with a smile.

The whole family was busy, and at about noon, a sumptuous lunch was ready.

Lu Wei's father opened a bottle of wine, poured some of it for Grandpa Lu Wei and grandma, and filled his own cup.

"Why do you want so much?" Lu Wei's mother said.

"You can drink some too, it's the New Year today."

"I can't drink that much."

"Drink less and don't be afraid."

Everyone in the table picked up the cups, took a sip, and then put down their chopsticks and started eating.

"Hey, I'm missing Dawei alone." Lu Wei's mother was a little depressed.

"What's the hurry? Your son will be back as soon as the party is over. You can make dumplings later in the evening."

"I know."

"Dawei will come out of TV tonight?" Lu Wei's grandfather asked. He heard people visiting each other in the past two days and always talked about his grandson's behavior. Although he didn't understand it very well, he knew it was a good thing.

"That's not, you can watch your grandson from TV tonight." Lu Wei's father said with a smile, then took a sip of wine.

"Cousin, your grandson is amazing now. This Spring Festival Gala is a big party. It is performed in Beijing and everyone in the whole country can watch it." Grandma Lu Wei said loudly to Grandpa Lu Wei. Grandpa Lu Wei's ears are not very useful, and he is a little confused about the sound.

"Oh." Grandpa Lu Wei agreed, picked up his glass and took a sip of the hot wine.

Lu Wei's grandfather is in very good health, which has a lot to do with his daily life habits. Although the old man is almost 90 years old this year, he still does some farm work in the field every day. He never picks when eating, likes to eat coarse grains, and never drinks cold things. He has to drink boiled water even in the summer, and he has never drunk only hot drinks. In addition, Lu Wei's parents are very filial and have no worries in his heart, so he is very tough. He has no problems with his ears except for his back. Lu Wei's grandfather often says something about him, and Lu Wei always remembers: Drinking cold wine and eating dirty money will cause illness sooner or later. At first, Lu Wei disagreed until later, he became older and appreciated the truth of this simple sentence.

After the family had dinner and after packing, they sat on the kang and chatted. Lu Wei's mother brought fruits and melon seeds.

After a while, the visitors came. Lu Wei's parents were easy-going and enthusiastic, so the neighbors loved him to visit him. Since Lu Wei became famous, he has been more people.

Uncle Sheng, who was opposite the door, walked in first, and said, "Can you see Dawei from TV now?"

"Who knows, look." Lu Wei's father said and turned on the TV.

"Don't you get the night?" Lu Wei's mother asked.

"Now, there is an interview with the evening party on CCTV, maybe I can watch it." Lu Wei's father said, turning on the TV and transferred to the Central Set, where a documentary about the zodiac was playing, which was also a program that was often played before the Spring Festival Gala.

"Look at what it means, come on, have two sets of plates." Lu Wei's father re-standed the table he had just put away, put the newspaper on, and took out a pair of chess.

"Come on, kill two pan'er." Uncle Sheng said excitedly.

The two were playing excitedly. Uncle Feng Hua, next door, came over. This was an old chess fan on the back street and the highest chess level in the back street. At this moment, he saw that the two people had already started to kill, so he hurriedly stepped forward to watch.

After a while, Aunt Fourth, Old Lady, and a few people who often stayed with Lu Wei’s mother on the back street also came over. Several people sat on the kang chatting while eating melon seeds, talking about the party and some family matters.

Feng Hua rolled up the old dry tobacco again. The choking smell of smoke made several women cough. Lu Wei's mother whispered, "Go away, let's stay in that room, I can't stand the smell of smoke." Several women also echoed and walked outside.

As soon as he left the house, Lu Wei's mother saw Lu Wei's second father walking in with a piece of meat and said with a smile: "Qing, Qingzi, you still have to help me after a while, and help me take care of it."

"Let's put it there first." Lu Wei's mother smiled helplessly. Lu Wei's second father is an old bachelor. Because he is poor, he is over fifty and has not even married a woman. He doesn't know how to make dumplings. He gets the Lu Wei family every year and asks Lu Wei's family to help him with some. Lu Wei's second father is not Lu Wei's father's biological brother, but a cousin who is far away. However, because he lives closer and the Lu Wei family often helps him, he is very close to Lu Wei's family.

"Qingzi, you don't care about it. You have to deal with him every year," said Aunt Fourth.

"Or why don't you make trouble for him. It looks quite pitiful, it doesn't take much trouble anyway."

"Just take such a small piece of meat, you have to make something with me. I won't give it to him," said the old lady.

"Hey, even if he doesn't take things, you have to do it for him. Anyway, I'm used to it once a year." Lu Wei's mother smiled.

Night begins to fall, and the sound of firecrackers and kicks sounds from time to time in the dark night. Sometimes, a few beautiful fireworks bloom, which will always arouse cheers from the children playing on the street.

The people who visited each other gradually dispersed and went home to make dumplings. Lu Wei's father did not go out for the first time to set off firecrackers. He started to stay in front of the TV at 7 o'clock, and while making dumplings with his family, he was waiting for the party to begin.

Central Station 1 has already started interviewing the party. Lu Wei’s father kept reminding his family to watch and see if he would see his son in advance.

"Hey, do you think that one looks like it?"

"No, it's too far away, it doesn't look like it."

"That one over there seems to be, it looks quite like the back."

The party was approaching with everyone's hope, and finally, the hour hand pointed to 8:00.
