From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 148: Burning Incense on the First Day of the New Year, My Dear Ancestors, Where Are You?

"Big Bro, it’s getting late! Get up and eat some tangyuan!"

Hearing the voice next to his ear, Su Chen had just opened his groggy eyes to find a large face looming right in front of him. The shock jolted him wide awake.

When he saw it was Su Yan, Su Chen glared at him in annoyance. "What are you doing getting so close? You nearly scared the life out of me!"

Su Yan scratched his head sheepishly. "I was just trying to wake you up quietly. You know how loud my voice is..."

Hearing this, Su Chen let out a resigned sigh. "Fine, fine. I’m getting up."

After the fireworks last night, he had been ready for bed, but the younger generation in the courtyard had pulled him into a game of Golden Flower that lasted for several hours. He wasn’t sure if it was because of the kowtows he’d performed earlier, but he’d actually won a small sum of one or two thousand yuan.

"Dad, have you guys eaten already?" When Su Chen came downstairs, he saw his father and two uncles already preparing the items for burning incense.

Just then, Chen Shufen walked out of the kitchen with a small bowl and handed it to Su Chen.

"Don’t you know what time it is, my dear young master!"

Looking at the tangyuan in the bowl, Su Chen knew they were the sweet kind he loved.

They say the great migration from Huguang to Sichuan brought with it many unique local delicacies.

Take the tangyuan Su Chen was now eating, for instance. The people of Fuzhou generally preferred the sweet kind, but in districts not far from Fuzhou, they ate savory tangyuan filled with meat.

Su Chen had been very surprised the first time he tried one, but the taste was actually quite good.

Following the adage that "good things come in pairs," there were only two tangyuan in Su Chen’s bowl. But these two were more than double the size of the ones he used to eat, and he just barely managed to finish them.

"Xiaochen, there’s something I want to discuss with you," Su Zhuyun said, walking over to Su Chen and crouching down beside him.

’This tone felt a little unnatural to Su Chen, like the world was turned upside down. Since when did a father consult his son so humbly?’

"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Ahem... It’s nothing major. We’re going to burn incense for the ancestors soon, right? I was thinking..." As he spoke, Su Zhuyun’s eyes drifted to the white G-Wagen parked nearby.

Su Chen gave Su Zhuyun a strange look. "Dad, aren’t you a little old to be showing off? But if you really want to drive it, I guess that’s fine."

He assumed Su Zhuyun just wanted to show off in front of their relatives, but his father’s next words left Su Chen speechless.

Su Zhuyun took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one for himself. After smoking nearly half of it, he spoke with a wistful sigh, "To be honest, I probably shouldn’t be telling you this."
