"Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao. ”

"Yes. ”

"What kind of door is a door made of wood?"

"Wooden door?"

"Where are the iron gates?"

"Iron Gate?"

"What is the door to happiness?"

“... Shopping at the mall gate?"

"Hahahaha, it's us! But I appreciate your answer. ”

...

"Ms. Meng, Ms. Meng!"

"Yes. ”

"Are you home?"

"That's right. ”

"Look down on the balcony. ”

"What... Could it be..."

"Hurry up, do you see?"

"Look at a ghost, there is no human figure, where are you?"

"See what I've done for you?"

"I'm going to freeze to death, you know. ”

"Oh!"

...

"Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao!"

"Yes. ”

"Do you want to break up?"

“？？？”

"Then why didn't you give me the third head?"

"I... I want to pick up another piece of third-level armor and make a set for you. ”

"Well, I forgive you!"

"Thank you. ”

...

Until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Xiao's life was relatively leisurely, playing games, walking the dog, going to his parents to eat...

I don't read the script, he hasn't been active to that extent, and he is immersed in the role all the time, but he is a little used to the name Ning Que, and the remarks in the cast are these two words.

Eating, drinking, and playing, the weight has not increased, thanks to Xiaobai, I slipped once in the morning and evening, and I walked almost 10,000 steps, and then I could ride a bicycle, and it was almost the same.

There are sad things too!

He and Mencius had just confirmed their relationship, and it was time to be like glue, but they were thousands of miles apart, and they could only chat every day, which was naturally a little painful.

But because of his special identity, it is impossible to do whatever he thinks, and the New Year is approaching, and he has to reunite with his family, so he has to endure the pain of lovesickness.

Chinese New Year's Eve, four o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiao turned off the computer and went to his parents next door in thick pajamas.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the strong smell of food.

During the Chinese New Year in Jinling, there are many fewer things.

In the past, when I lived in the village, it took several days to clean some every day, but now, there is basically no extra time, and the father and son can just wipe the windowsill again.

The aspect of eating is also different.

There are a lot less things to prepare, and the door of the refrigerator that is no longer stacked cannot be closed.

Mom has become accustomed to going to the supermarket every two days, buying fresh ingredients and coming back to cook, and the fish are all helped to clean up, not to mention frying a cake, and you have to make a large plate of fried cake for the neighbor next door or something.

In addition, there are only one cat and one dog that need to be taken care of, and without those chickens, ducks and pigs, the workload has plummeted, and there is no need to be tired and half dead in the New Year.

The hot pot restaurant had been on holiday a few days ago, and my father accompanied his daughter-in-law to purchase New Year's goods, and when he went out, Zhou Xiao found that he had posted a brand-new couplet at the door, which was probably made by him early in the morning, and the floor was not high, so he didn't call him for help.

"Are you frying pork ribs?" Zhou Xiao sniffled: "It's so fragrant!"

"Yes," the old mother wrapped her apron and held a spatula, "Hey... Wait, you have to fry it again, and then add salt and pepper. ”

"Oh..." Zhou Xiao retracted his hand stupidly and swallowed.

Dad was sitting on the sofa, making tea deliciously, all kinds of peanuts and melon seeds in front of him, his eyes were staring at the TV, and I don't know what kind of program was playing in it.

"Go with your dad and don't get in the way here. ”

After standing for less than a minute, Zhou Xiao was blasted away.

When my father heard the sound, he raised his eyes and looked at it, took out a cup from the tea tray, scalded it, and poured the tea.

"Thank you, Dad. ”

"How do you wear something like that. ”

"Too lazy to change, troublesome, pajamas are comfortable to wear. ”

Zhou Xiao is wearing a thick cotton coat, and adding a thermal underwear to it is basically enough, mainly because the radius of activity throughout the day is limited to the community, so there is nothing to pay attention to.

grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them in his hand: "Dad, will anyone come to our house for the New Year?"

"No one, they all feel far away, I let them come at any time when they are free in the new year. ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

"What are you going to do when you and your mother leave on the seventh day of junior high school?" Dad picked up the remote control and turned on the air conditioner, if Zhou Xiao was not there, they would not normally turn it on.

"Don't worry, you just have to play well, I've seen the travel agency, it's quite reliable, remember to bring summer clothes." ”

"I know, I've checked, it's subtropical, it's hot all year round, right? Dad looked confident: "I also asked the staff in the store to make a strategy." ”

"Okay, awesome!" Zhou Xiao gave a thumbs up: "How is the computer learning?"

"I'm old, I'm slow to learn things, and I can read what Sail Form, but I'm slower to type. ”

"CELL, OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EXCEL. Zhou Xiao thought for a few seconds before reacting.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dad nodded again and again: "That thing is so convenient, you don't need to write by hand for bookkeeping or anything, the daily flow of water, and the salary table of each month can be seen clearly, which is quite easy to use." ”

"When the holiday is over, you can also buy a notebook and put it at home, you can usually use it for the office, and my mother can also watch dramas or something. ”

"I'll see if it's okay, I'll see it when the time comes. ”

If you want to put it in the past, Lao Zhou's answer is definitely that why buy that thing, it's a waste of money and it's expensive.

When I arrived in Jinling and took over the management of the hot pot restaurant, my eyes were opened, and I was not so resistant.

The most important thing is that the purse is bulging.

He has been managing the store's funds since December last year, and my mother didn't understand it, so she didn't mix it.

Come to think of it, the bank card has gone from just four to seven figures, and it definitely doesn't feel the same.

But!

The head of the family has not changed,

It's still my mother.

And looking at the trend, it does not become possible.

Although it is three people, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is still hearty, steamed treasure fish, boiled prawns, salt and pepper pork ribs, local chicken soup... Another plate of dumplings, let's live.

Zhou Xiao had already opened a bottle of red wine in advance and woke up, and his father followed the advice of the mother and son, and stopped drinking the liquor and changed it to wine.

Bite...

Three cups clamming together.

"Happy New Year!!

Everyone took a sip.

"Everything is good in the city, but firecrackers are not allowed, and I feel that the smell of the New Year is much less. "Mom peeled a shrimp, dipped it in soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic into a sauce, and sent it directly to Zhou Xiao's mouth.

"Indeed. Zhou Xiao nodded vaguely, he was also the first time to spend the New Year in Jinling.

"There are a lot fewer cars outside, and there are not many traffic jams. Dad was quite satisfied: "But there are still a lot of people in the market, it is lively, a bit like when we are in the market, but there are no those who sell livestock, and it doesn't stink." ”

"Eat, what's the matter. "Mom taught me a lesson.

"Yes, yes," Dad didn't dare to say more, and looked at Zhou Xiao: "The two of us will have dinner later, and we are going to go to Jiming Temple, do you want to go together?"

"Got an event?"

"Yes, hit the bell and pray for blessings. Mom nodded: "I'll make a wish for you." ”

"I'll forget it. ”

Zhou Xiao thought about it for a while, he actually wanted to participate.

"There must be a lot of people there, so it's not very convenient. ”

"Hmm. The mother also casually asked, where would she not know her son's current popularity, that is, chatting with the neighbor next door and asking her what she was doing, she couldn't tell the truth.

Jiming Temple, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people have passed, if you are recognized, you don't know how troublesome it is, and you don't dare to take risks.

"You used to pay attention to safety, there are many cars. Zhou Xiao reminded.

"Don't worry, I don't drive, and the two couples on the thirteenth floor and the seven buildings take care of each other, they have lived in Jinling for more than 30 years. ”

"That's good. Zhou Xiao put his mind at ease: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can go to the Confucius Temple to have a look, there are lanterns there, but it is estimated that there will be more people." ”

"It's not necessarily free, the shop is open on the eighth day of the new year. ”

"Yes, it's every year anyway, and I'm not afraid to run away, making money is more important. ”

The husband and wife reached a reunification.

"It's good to be happy. ”

Zhou Xiao doesn't care, anyway, his parents are not very old, so he doesn't need to worry too much, he can do anything, he just needs to support him.

When eating, he is more of a listener, listening to his mother's parents and his father's views on business.

The family is happy.

But the time to come is still coming.

"Zhou Xiao," my mother held her chopsticks in the air, and she didn't reach out to pick up vegetables: "You have a special profession now, and my mother also knows that you can't get married too early when you are a star, but it's not 100%, right?" ”

Zhou Xiao nodded.

"I'm not rushing you. ”

Generally speaking, sentences that do not begin with are basically the same.

"It's good to start a family early, don't talk to someone in your thirties and forties and don't have a companion, how lonely it is, Lao Zhou, right. ”

Dad nodded.

"So, I usually pay more attention to it, and if I want to have a suitable one, I will have a look, the kind that is secret. The old mother lowered her voice as she spoke: "Moreover, I promise, I will definitely be a good mother-in-law and will never interfere in the lives of the two of you." ”

Zhou Xiao couldn't cry or laugh: "You still urge me in the end, you want to be a mother-in-law, don't worry, I'm only 26 years old, how about waiting for two years, and strive to be in your 5... Became a grandmother before the age of 55. ”

After speaking, he gently touched his father with his foot.

Lao Zhou will understand: "If you want me to say, in fact, you don't need to be too anxious, what are the conditions for our son, right, I'm afraid I won't find a girlfriend?"

When he said this, he did not dare to look at his daughter-in-law at all.

"Besides, the country doesn't also advocate late marriage and late childbearing, and it's not too late to wait for a stable career, and you see, Zhou Xiao's work recently has been flying all over the country, and he hasn't stayed at home for a few days..."

"Then you can find a star, I don't have any requirements for my daughter-in-law, Zhou Xiao just likes it. "Mother was not pleased.

"Stop, stop. Zhou Xiao hurriedly dissuaded: "For the New Year, you can't quarrel." ”

"It's not noisy, you just have to remember it in your heart anyway. ”

"Okay. ”

It's kind of foolish.

Because I still have to go to the temple to worship, I didn't drink much, and I didn't drink half a cup for one person.

After dinner, he stayed for a while to see that they were ready to leave, and then returned to his place.

Gudu Gudu poured a breath of cold water first, and today's braised pork is a little salty.

Then sit on the couch and start replying to WeChat.

There are hundreds of messages for New Year's greetings, some of which can be sent in groups, some of which have to be edited individually, and new ones are constantly coming in during the period.

By the time it was almost over, more than half an hour had passed.

Finally, I clicked on Mencius's avatar.

The two had swapped before... Photo of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

My mother also wondered how Zhou Xiao, who never took pictures during meals, changed her temperament, and casually found an excuse to prevaricate.

"I'm full, what about you?"

After a few minutes, the reply came.

"I haven't it here, I have to eat for hours at my grandmother's house for the New Year, and I have to watch the Spring Festival Gala. ”

"I see, my parents are going to the temple, so I was a little early. ”

"Are my uncles and aunts Buddhists?"

"No, there is no shrine at home, just go and make a wish. ”

"Understood. ”

"Okay, then you eat first, I'll see if I'm going to play games or what's going on. ”

"You're not going to be angry, are you?"

"What's so angry about that. Zhou Xiao laughed.

"By the way, what are your arrangements for the first year of junior high school?"

"At home, yes. ”

"What about the fifth day of junior high school?"

"I went to my grandfather's house with my parents, stayed for one night, and came back on the sixth day of the new year. ”

"What about the seventh day of the first month?"

"If I want to go to the magic capital, the brand I endorse has a dealer conference, and I have to participate. ”

"Oh... You know, then you take care of yourself. ”

"Okay!"
