Chapter 56 chapter 2

The temperature in the flower room is suitable, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and people's hearts become extraordinarily gentle.I stroked a Phalaenopsis and said: "I was not so good before. Remember the last time you said that you cooked for your father? Actually, I understand very well, because I have also experienced the same thing, but I'm luckier." "Your dad was also seriously ill?" "Well, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer more than four years ago. Those days are unbearable. In just one year, my mother has aged ten years, but we have survived. My father is in good condition after the operation. The doctor said that the cancer cells It's been completely removed."

"Congratulations!" "Thank you! Actually, I was very sorry that day. I felt that I shouldn't have broken the casserole and asked the end. There are some pains that no one can share. Speaking out may not relieve my own pain, but it will make others feel better. Malatang is not good. I know my dad has cancer." "I understand. For a long time after my father passed away, I didn't want to talk about anything related to my father, let alone with outsiders, even with my own brothers and sisters. During that time, I even wondered what was going on in my life. Meaning, I was so busy that I didn’t have time to call home, and the only time I spent with my father was when he came to see a doctor in Beijing.”

"How can it be meaningless? Your father must be very proud of you. I believe he is happy every time he thinks of you." There was a bit of embarrassment between his eyebrows, and he changed the subject, "Unfortunately, he didn't see Taozi go to college. Taozi is more like a child in the mountains. Although his choice does not conform to the value judgment of the public, he clearly understands Knowing what you want is enough for young people, and the final success or failure is just a result." "Well, most people are still confused at Taozi's age!" Taozi came in from the outside, "How did I hear my name, what did you say about me?" He put the bamboo basket in front of us, a plate of stewed beef, a plate of cold pig ears, two plates of green vegetables, and a plate of fried peanuts rice.Jingjing opened the military water bottle hanging on her waist, and showed it to Lu Licheng, "How about it, am I good? Is your fifty yuan worth it?"

Lu Licheng took the kettle with a smile, took a sip of sorghum wine, "You are the biggest hero." Jingjing nestled in Lu Licheng's arms, and handed me a children's water bottle as if by magic.I opened the lid, took a sip, and the glycol soaked into the bones. The key point was that it was still hot, and it was even more indescribably beneficial. "What is this? It's so delicious, like wine but not wine." Taozi explained: "Our dialect here is called distiller's grains, which is the same as distiller's glutinous rice, except that rice is used for fermented glutinous rice, and we use wheat. This stuff is best for girls. When we went back, grandma was simmering distiller's grains. When we were about to leave after sneaking around the house for a while, she used Miao Miao’s thermos and filled a pot of hot wine lees for us to take with me. The old lady is shrewd! She must have known that the uncle was playing tricks, so she poured a pot of wine on purpose. A pot of hot wine lees for Auntie."

After finishing speaking, he received another slap on the back of the head. Jingjing burst out laughing, and Taozi sat beside me, "I'd better keep a little distance from my uncle, or I'll be fooled by him sooner or later." We sat among the flowers, ate wine and meat, listened to Taozi talk about his vision for the future, and listened to Lu Licheng's strange stories about the mountains and fields. Several people sat and chatted in the greenhouse, and didn't get up to return until the time was almost up. Before the New Year's Eve dinner, the ancestors should be invited to eat first. Lu Licheng's eldest brother led Lu Licheng first, followed by Miao Miao.Three cups of wine, one offering sacrifices to the heavens, two offerings to the earth, and three visits to the ancestors.Then everyone helped the old lady to sit on the top, and the children kowtowed one by one, saying auspicious words, and the old lady gave gifts.I stood in the corner and looked at them with a smile. This is probably the real Chinese family, and it is difficult for the one-child families nowadays to understand these things.

When Miao Miao finally kowtowed to the old lady and saluted, I was the only one standing on the right hand side, and the others walked to the left hand side after saluting.Everyone looked at me, embarrassed for a moment.Just as Lu Licheng was about to speak, I walked up to the old lady and bowed respectfully.Giving salute to the oldest elder in the family is not only the younger generation’s respect for the elder, but also the implication that the younger generation borrows blessings from the elder, because the elder has a long life and prosperous descendants. Blessings are given to the younger generation.It is also my blessing that the old lady is willing to accept my gift.

The old lady laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She took my hand and shed tears. Lu Licheng's sister also had tears in her eyes.While wiping tears, the old lady put a red envelope into my hand, said a few words, and everyone burst into laughter.I didn't understand, so I looked at Lu Licheng suspiciously, his face turned red, he didn't explain, just nodded to me gratefully. Lu Licheng's elder brother announced the start of the New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone sat down in order. Plates of hot dumplings were served, and the hall was full of laughter. specific embodiment.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone gathered in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Jingjing and Miao Miao, I and I set off firecrackers in the yard. After a while, there was an earth-shattering bang, which made people’s ears buzzing, but they were extremely happy in their hearts. Miao Miao took out a string of throwing cannons from nowhere and chased after me.I was screaming and begging for mercy while I was running around.When Lu Licheng heard the voice, he came out to see us. Seeing me being chased by a 15-year-old child and jumping up and down, tears were about to fall, so he couldn't help laughing leaning against the door.

"Miao Miao, this is a cannon, you can't throw it at people." I understood the reason first, but Miao Miao remained indifferent.I was moved again, "Miao Miao, I am a guest, you are a little master, you can't do this." Miaomiao's principle is to keep silent, only to shoot, and then threw another one at my feet.Like a cat with its butt burnt, I jumped very high, ran to Lu Licheng, grabbed him, and used him as a shield to block myself.Unexpectedly, Lu Licheng's majesty has no deterrent effect in front of Miao Miao, the little guy didn't say a word, and threw three cannons at our feet, not only bombing me, but also Lu Licheng.

Lu Licheng led me to dodge, Miao Miao continued to pursue and kill me, Taozi added fuel to the fire, and threw a bunch of cannons at our feet.Lu Licheng called out "Liu Haitao" in a warning voice, and Liu Haitao responded loudly with "Zai", and then a cannon flew to our feet following the word "Zai". Jingjing was overjoyed, and forgot what grandma told me to please me, and chased me and Lu Licheng and threw cannons. Lu Licheng and I were flanked back and forth, and there was no way we could avoid it. He could only lead me out of the courtyard.Miao Miao chased after a few steps, fearing the darkness, she became frightened, stopped, and called out childishly: "Little uncle, come out, I won't throw you away! Aunt Su, where are you? Let's play together , I won’t blow you up!”

Believe her!Lu Licheng and I hid in the bamboo forest next to the yard, not daring to make a sound. I held his arm and gasped for breath while laughing, "So-and-so is really disgraced today!" I don't know who is putting up a kaleidoscope, a chrysanthemum appears in the sky for a while, and an orchid appears for a while.Not to be outdone, Taozi moved out of her own fireworks and started setting them off in the yard, with Miaomiao and Jingjing each holding one. Purple flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers, red flowers... colorful flowers are blooming brilliantly in the air, Jingjing and Miaomiao are jumping and screaming excitedly. "This is beautiful!" "Look, look, that's beautiful!" Lu Licheng looked up at the sky, and the fireworks reflected his face flickeringly. I looked up at the fireworks for a while, shook Lu Licheng's arm and said, "The little guy's attention has been diverted, we can go back. I haven't let off fireworks for many years, and I want to do it too!" He looked at me, in the blurred fireworks, his eyes were gentle and drunk, and the colorful sky was reflected in the black eyes. In the deepest part, there was a little me. He leaned down slowly, and the little me grew bigger. The fireworks are colorful, the bamboo shadows are whirling, everything is gorgeous and beautiful like a dream, I am like a bewitched, my mind is blank, I let his breath surround me, his arms tightly encircle me, and his lips slowly press my lips superior. "The wind blows fiercely in the field, ignoring people's pain, as if trying to empty everything out..." I woke up with a start and pushed him away. I'm mad!He is crazy too!We are all crazy... He drank, and I drank too, and under such a situation, the alluring beauty is all the fault of fireworks! Waiting for a turn of the mind, waiting for a surge of love, and meeting you in another life.Who can be indifferent, like the unchanging sky... It's useless not to think about it, if the tide of emotion is surging, who can calmly let go of the trace of love... Lin Yilian's desolate voice still rang in the darkness, and I dared to answer after I calmed down, "Hello?" "Manman, what's wrong with you, why does your voice sound so strange?" "I'm fine, maybe it's because of the cell phone signal." Malatang laughed, "Honey, Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year to you too!" "Are you having a good day?" "Very happy! How about you?" I was so happy just now that I couldn't believe that I could be so happy. After a while, I don't know.I didn't dare to look at Lu Licheng, and turned my back to face him, completely unaware of his expression now. "I'm also very happy. Song Yi and I were eating barbecue on the street. I drank a lot of coconut wine and got a little drunk. I accidentally went crazy with alcohol. I asked Song Yi to stand on the table in front of everyone on the street Said 'I love you' to me out loud, guess what he did?" My voice was dry, "I don't know." Malatang laughed loudly, "He actually did it. Oh my God! I'm sober now and I can't believe it's real. He jumped on the table and said loudly 'I love you!' At that time, the whole night market was full of people. Everyone was walking around, but suddenly everyone stopped and looked at him and me quietly. At that time, I felt as if the world suddenly stopped turning..." Her voice faded away in my ears, and I bent down in pain, pressing my stomach tightly with one hand, where the pain was overwhelming. "Manman? Manman?" "I am here!" "What's wrong with you, are you listening to me?" "Listening!" A burst of children's cries and laughter came, and Malatang asked: "It's so lively, what are you doing?" I said, "We're going to set off fireworks." Malatang smiled, "Then you go and play, and give Lu Licheng New Year's greetings for me." "Okay, give Song Yi hello for me too." "Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year!" I sat on the ground and pressed my stomach hard, hoping to calm all the pain.Lu Licheng helped me up, and I said slowly, "Just now..." "I was bewitched by the fireworks for a moment just now. Under the circumstances at that time, no matter who it is, I would want to kiss." I breathed a sigh of relief.Lu Licheng helped me into the yard, Taozi saw my expression and asked, "What's wrong?" "Suddenly a little pain in the stomach." "I'll go get you medicine." I drank the medicine and drank a large cup of hot water, and the pain gradually improved, maybe it was because of the painkillers, maybe it was just because I gradually accepted the content of Malatang's phone call. Lu Licheng asked: "Do you want to rest, or do you want to set off fireworks?" I smiled and said, "I want to set off fireworks." He brought a box of fireworks here, lit a cigarette, and helped me light the fireworks while smoking.Every firework has a joyful and auspicious name, "Flower is good and full moon", "Gold and jade are full", "Fire tree and silver flower"... They are as beautiful as dreams, and bloom the most gorgeous flowers in the dark night.Jingjing and Miao Miao danced and screamed around the fireworks, I was holding two firework sticks in my hand and waving them in the air, Taozi was also holding two firework sticks and fighting with me, we chased each other with fireworks, laughing , while screaming. Lu Licheng looked at us silently, holding a cigarette in one hand and hanging a firework casually in the other, letting the firework bloom lonely in his hand.At the moment of youth, he didn't even look at it.
