Chapter 184
When I returned to the city, I went to Xu Zhigui's home.
It seems that a little fireworks have been set off this year, or perhaps the New Year's policy has turned a blind eye, and the occasional debris from firecrackers can be seen on the streets.
I parked my car in the underground parking lot, took the elevator and went upstairs, and when I came out, I could see that my father's neighbors had put couplets on the door, and the new red color made him look at it a few more times.
Even if you don't open the door, you can smell the stewed chicken and stir-fried vegetables outside the door, and if you listen to the noise through the door, you can tell that there seem to be a lot of people inside, and you don't know who is coming.
Without waiting for him to ask, Xu Zhigui explained first: "Your grandmother and grandfather, and your aunt's family, come to us tonight for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you know, because they didn't come last year, so it's our turn to come to our house this year."
Xu Xian suddenly realized: "That's it." "
My mother has an older sister, who is his aunt, who actually has frequent contacts, whether it is a festival or not, if she is idle, she will go shopping together or come to play mahjong as a guest.
It's just that Xu Xian now lives in the old city, and he doesn't see his aunt much, only two or three times a year.
Thinking of the Chinese New Year's Eve last year, my grandparents and grandmothers should have eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at my aunt's house, and this year they all came to their parents' side to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is also a habit of taking turns.
When I opened the door, I saw my grandparents sitting on the sofa, watching the New Year's Gala on the TV, and I didn't know if I could understand it, after all, they couldn't understand Mandarin very well.
The aunt was playing with her mobile phone next to her, and the uncle-in-law didn't know what to do on the balcony, as if he was smoking and leisurely.
There is also a big girl who is also playing with her mobile phone, Xu Xian recognizes her, it is his cousin, because when the aunt gave birth to her, she was born later than her mother, otherwise she would be a cousin.
"Grandparents, aunts and uncles, happy new year. When he
entered the door and changed into slippers, Xu Xian greeted everyone.
Cousin Huang Zixuan looked over: "Cousin, what about me?"
he laughed dryly: "You are okay too." "
This cousin is about three years younger than me, and if she is still in school, she should be a sophomore or junior.
He remembered the little girl who had been robbed of toys by himself before, and before he knew it, he was already a big girl.
Without much thought, he walked straight to the kitchen.
His girl, who was busy with her mother in the kitchen, had a kitchen knife in her hand, chopping chicken without a hint of ambiguity, and the sound of hitting the cutting board was powerful and powerful.
In addition to these rude movements and indecent voices, the back can also make people think about it.
Qin Ruyun noticed that there was someone behind him for the first time, so he turned his head to look at it, and then smiled
: "Are you back?" He put down the vegetables he bought from outside and walked over: "Well, I'm back, Mom, you go to the living room to accompany your grandparents and grandmother to chatter, and let me do the rest with Mengxian." This
man wants to create a space for solitude with his prospective daughter-in-law, and even the sound of the calculation in his heart can be heard by the Nian Beast.
Qin Ruyun smiled knowingly: "Okay, okay, then you can be busy with Mengxian, those two fish haven't been dealt with yet, you use a spatula to remove the scales and clean up the internal organs."
"The garlic and ginger are not cut well, and the ingredients for the mutton soup, you have to match them in proportion, and you need to marinate them... Anyway, if you look at it, I won't tell you so much. The
mother didn't finish what she wanted to say and walked out.
Xu Xian glanced out twice, and after confirming that Qin Ruyun really went to the living room to accompany her grandparents, she silently closed the kitchen door and moved quietly to Xu Mengxian's side.
Xu Damei, who exudes the temperament of a married woman, is scrubbing the mutton with cooking wine and soy sauce, and adding five-spice powder, for fear that the pickle will not taste good, and she rubs it very strongly.
She didn't raise her head: "You have a bit of a smell on you."
He looked down and sniffed his sleeve twice, but he didn't smell any peculiar smell, and couldn't help but wonder: "What smell?"
The other party was silent for a moment: "The smell of New Year's fireworks."
He suddenly realized: "You're talking about the smell of incense and firecrackers, right? Today I am busy, I am incense and firecrackers, and I am indeed full of the smell of fireworks." "
Today, the entire ancestral hall in my hometown is full of smoke from candles, incense, firecrackers, and I almost can't see my fingers.
That's limited to the countryside, if it's like this in the city, it's estimated that you can go directly to the bureau for the New Year tonight.
"I like the smell of you very much, it seems that you have grown up, and it is no longer the leisure of the past.
A smile appeared on Xu Mengxian's cheeks, recalling the other party's past, Xu Xian would not do these things by himself in the past, and sometimes he was not even very happy to go back to his hometown.
Sacrificing ancestors is what the elders do, and the children only need to watch from the side, and unconsciously, Xu Xian has also become the so-called elder, but he is just a little younger.
"I'm glad you know about my past.
He was not speechless, so he naturally took on the topic: "Indeed, no matter what my family did, I always liked to watch from the sidelines, as if it had nothing to do with me, but now, many things should be done by me." The
other party put down the pot containing the pickled mutton, and seemed to be a little emotional: "Xu Xian, knowing that you have grown up, I seem to have grown up a lot, and we are all growing in different directions."
She paused: "Only one thing remains the same."
The corners of Xu Xian's eyes were beating: "What doesn't change?"
Xu Mengxian didn't wash her hands, she took a few white radishes, and peeled them one by one with a spatula, "I will always like you, day after day." "
This girl seems to be getting very sultry.
So he immediately laughed, and joined in the kitchen with joy: "If that's the case, liking is not enough, I need something more advanced." "
Higher?"
"The love of love, the love of family."
Xu Xian shamelessly suddenly hugged her waist: "I like to be a child's playhouse, we should be love." "
