Chapter 390: Chinese New Year's Eve
Busy days always catch you off guard, and when you do, you find that time is running out.
When the forest really stopped, it was already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and this year was not thirty, and the day after tomorrow was the first day of the new year.
When Zhou Gongzi was there in the family before, and when Tang Wei was also there, it was always noisy, but now there is no one at all, and I am really a little unaccustomed to it.
The restaurant was closed, the school was closed, and all of a sudden there was only one person left.
In the evening, I fried two dishes by myself, but I didn't cook, so I drank two sips of the dishes and went to sleep in a daze.
……
The next day, I got up early in the morning, cleaned the courtyard and the outside, and then took out the couplets I bought and prepared to paste them.
It was a bit troublesome to do this work alone, so he first got a utility knife and slowly cut the couplets and New Year's paintings.
I was wondering if I would call Lao Zhang to help later, when someone came.
The swallows are coming.
This time, the swallow walked in directly with a swagger, carrying a bag in his left hand and a bag in his right hand.
She didn't say anything when she arrived in the courtyard, and only then did she stop walking, and Lin Mu felt that it was dark in the house, so she looked back.
"Yo, scare me, you're here!" Lin Muxi said.
To tell the truth, at this time, it feels quite comfortable to have someone who can accompany you, even if you just say a word.
Swallow pursed her lips and smiled, and put the two bags in her hand on the table to the side.
"Grandma asked you to bring you, there are fried fritters, peanuts, some bacon and sausages, and sauerkraut!"
Lin Mu scratched his head embarrassedly, "This...... I haven't been to your house yet, so I'm embarrassed to ask the second elder to prepare something for me!"
Huo Siyan ignored Lin Mu and looked at the table, "Paste the couplet? It seems that I came just in time!"
"That's right, I really don't know what to do if you don't come!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
With Huo Siyan's helper, it is much more convenient to cut, and the thread of the sewing clothes is folded and pulled in half.
Hiss, clean, neat.
It seems that women who do this work are indeed talented, and men can't compare.
After the cutting is finished, it is pasted, and Huo Siyan runs back and forth like a butterfly wearing flowers to hand him over, as well as tearing adhesive tape.
When the work was over, Huo Siyan looked around the courtyard, "Are they all going home?"
"Oh, they're all back. Lin Mu said slightly unnaturally.
Huo Siyan opened her arms when she heard this, as if she was stretching her waist, and as if she was hugging something.
When she finished her activity, she turned around and said, "There is no one in the house, why don't you go to my house for dinner in the evening!"
"No, no, I'll go to my sister's in the evening!" replied Lin Mu.
It is indeed embarrassing to go, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family surrounds the New Year, and goes to Yanzi's house by himself!
Huo Siyan didn't force it, and nodded, "Okay then, then I'll eat here at noon!"
"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded.
Huo Siyan immediately ran into the house, "I'll go and take out all the things I brought!"
After a while, she went to the kitchen with two more bags, ready to start making lunch.
What I ate at noon was what she brought, fried bacon with green peppers, garlic sausage, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of green vegetables, all the fritters were hot, and millet porridge.
Lin Mu said that it was really fragrant while eating,
It's really fragrant, and eating alone and eating for two people feels completely different.
But it doesn't seem to be just Lin Mu who feels happy, I don't know why, maybe it's because of the New Year, Lin Mu always feels that this swallow is also very happy.
It wasn't until after eating that Lin Mu finally asked.
"Swallow, why do I think you're so happy today?"
Huo Siyan immediately laughed when she heard this, "Is there one?"
"Well, the smile on your face hasn't gone down since you came here!" Lin Mu said.
Huo Siyan blinked, "Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year?"
Lin Mu thought for a moment, "Maybe!"
Huo Siyan waved his hand, "Okay, okay, it's all cleaned up, I'll go wash the dishes, you go take a shower and change your clothes, I'll just help you wash your clothes later." ”
"No, no, there is a washing machine!" Lin Mu said.
Huo Siyan stood up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to chatter again.
"Clothes, it's better to wash them by hand, wash them clean, and save clothes!"
"This washing machine is ......"
“……”
……
The winter in the capital is quite cold, but Lin Mu feels that he has always been hot this time, his heart is hot, and his body is also hot.
In the end, he went to take a bath, and before he finished washing, Huo Siyan knocked on the door, came in, and took all his clothes out to wash.
After surviving in such a hurry, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Huo Siyan hung up all the washed clothes and hung them under the eaves.
She said, "Anyway, no one should come to the house, just hang it like this, and you will take it when you are done." ”
"Hmm. Lin Mu nodded.
"Are you really not going to eat at my house at night?" Huo Siyan asked again.
Lin Mu smiled embarrassedly, "Another day, let's talk about it another day!"
"Oh!" Huo Siyan pouted and lowered his rolled up sleeves, "That's ......"
"I'm going back?"
Lin Mu hurriedly said, "I'll send you!"
"No need, you can go to my sister's house later, I'll just take a taxi myself." ”
Huo Siyan kept pouting when she could talk, unhappy.
Lin Mu sent her to the gate of the courtyard, thought for a while, and said, "That...... Why don't you go to your house to pay New Year's greetings in the morning?"
"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you!" Huo Siyan immediately responded.
"Yes!" Lin Mu nodded.
Huo Siyan looked up at Lin Mu, "Then I'll go!"
"Hmm!" Lin Mu nodded.
Huo Siyan slowly walked along the road and walked out, walked a few steps and turned around, but there was no one in sight, and Lin Mu returned to the courtyard.
"Hoo ......"
I don't know why, Lin Mu felt very tired this time.
In fact, he especially wanted Yanzi to stay with him for the New Year, but people can't be so selfish.
Because whatever you want, you have to follow your own heart, at least do what you can, and try to do it.
As for going to Lao Zhang's house for dinner, what doesn't exist is an excuse.
Lao Zhang and Lin Huiru had talked about him many times, but Lin Mu sent them away under the pretext that he had an appointment.
Standing in the courtyard, looking around, Lin Mu looked up at the sky, sighed again, went to the hall, made a big chair in the house, stretched out his hand to support his head, and was stunned.
Another year has passed......
Here, Huo Siyan walked for a while, looked back at the direction of Lin Mu's house, thought about it, pursed her lips slightly, and then opened her arms again.
"Mine, it will be mine!"
After saying that, he tilted his head and thought about it, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"Hee-hee!"
After laughing, he withdrew his arm, shook his head, and walked away happily.
