Chapter Eighty-Six: Trivia Years Ago
People from the city come to the countryside for the New Year...... Liu Daode is no stranger to this.
According to Zhou Chaowei, now the New Year's flavor in the city is getting weaker and weaker, and even firecrackers are not allowed.
It is better to come to Liu Village, Hedong, to feel the lively atmosphere of the New Year in the countryside and appreciate the folk customs.
"Eat candy, and melon seeds, just bought on the street. Liu Daode said and picked up the plastic bag in the car basket and handed it to Zhou Mingxuan.
The little guy should have been instructed by his parents not to eat other people's things casually, so he turned his head to look at his own adult.
"This is given by your Uncle Liu, take it. Liao Mingxia nodded beside her.
With his mother's consent, the little one grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
Then, Liu Daode opened his mouth to invite: "Let's go, anyway, you are idle, come to my house for tea." Mingxuan, there is a squirrel in my uncle's house now, which is very cute. ”
"Really, I'm going to see the squirrel," the little one's eyes lit up at once.
As Liu Daode guessed, Zhou Mingxuan was very interested in small animals, and as soon as he entered the yard, he happily ran to the squirrel's nest to say hello.
Unfortunately, Ash was wary of strangers, and spurted to the roof, staring at him with his eyes spinning.
"Here, eat melon seeds, I have melon seeds here" The little guy screamed a few times, but the squirrel refused to come down, so he had to take out the melon seeds in his pocket.
"Squeak" saw the food, and Xiao Ash hurriedly jumped off the roof and called from afar.
Seeing that the other party still refused to come over, Zhou Mingxuan had no choice but to put the melon seeds on the ground.
This time, the squirrel hurriedly rushed to the front, squatted on the ground and peeled the melon seeds with his two front paws.
"Mom, look, the squirrel will peel the melon seeds by itself" Zhou Mingxuan exclaimed excitedly, and then squatted down, staring at the squirrel to eat food.
The sun is nice today, there is no wind, and the yard is warm.
Liu Daode didn't invite them into the house, and sat directly in the courtyard. He took out the teacup, threw a few tea plants into it, poured boiling water, and then put the melon seeds and sugar on the stone table.
Zhou Chaowei didn't sit down, but held a teacup in his hand, looked around, and exclaimed: "Your small courtyard is very well decorated, every time I come, I feel very relaxed and intimate." ”
"Hehe, you've been in the city for a long time, and you naturally feel relaxed when you suddenly arrive in a new environment. Liu Daode responded with a smile. He knew in his heart that this was the reason he was in the land realm.
A simple sentence resonated with Zhou Chaowei: "This is true, the pace of life in the city is too fast, and I have to go to work when I wake up in the morning, and sometimes I can't even eat breakfast." I plunged headlong into the company and was busy in front of the computer until noon.
Just work matters, but also dealing with bosses and colleagues. Every day, the brain runs at a high speed, and it doesn't stop at all, and you can only relax when you get home from work...... I used to be tossed a little nervous, but I still came to Liu Village, Hedong a few times, here to relax and relax, I don't want to do anything, my brain is empty, and I feel a lot better. ”
"Understand, understand" Liu Daode nodded. He did understand that he had passed through the city several times on a trip in the fall, and he could feel the impetuous and messy atmosphere that permeated it.
It is normal for people to be physically and mentally exhausted after being in it for a long time.
The three adults chatted, and after a while, Zhou Mingxuan ran over to ask for melon seeds again, saying that the melon seeds were eaten by squirrels just now.
"You catch it yourself," Liu Daode stretched out his finger.
Unexpectedly, the place where the melon seeds were put was also seen by the squirrel, so he immediately jumped on the stone table and pulled the plastic bag to eat.
Good guy, Liu Daode hurriedly drove it down.
"Squeak ......" was driven away by the owner, and the little guy was very angry and stood not far away and kept shouting.
"Here, here" Zhou Mingxuan hurriedly put the melon seeds in his hand on the ground before the little guy shut up.
"This squirrel is very interesting" Seeing the little guy's angry appearance, Tony Chow and his wife also smiled.
They stayed in the courtyard until after eleven o'clock, and then the couple got up to say goodbye.
"What are you going to do when you go back, I'll eat here at noon" Liu Daode warmly stayed with guests.
"No, we've already given the meal at the village farmhouse just now, and it's estimated that it will be ready now. Zhou Chaowei waved his hand again and again.
Listening to him, Liu Daode no longer insisted.
Before leaving, Zhou Mingxuan was still reluctant to give up on Little Ash, and planned to come over to play again in the afternoon.
……
Since he was a child, Liu Daode has felt that there is an inexplicable atmosphere in the sky above the village. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this aura finally reached its peak.
Liu Daode has been reluctant to go to the village at all in recent days, and every time he goes to the village, he always feels a little depressed. Even after cultivating at night, he could feel a faint rejection coming from the direction of the village.
Why this is so, Liu Daode is puzzled.
He is obviously the land god of Liu Village, Hedong, but now he is separated from the village, and he didn't feel like this in the past.
On the afternoon of the thirtieth, I went to the grave to burn paper as usual, and then went back to the house to make dumplings and sacrifice to the gods!
Set off a small firecracker and start eating.
In the past, Liu Daode was used to living alone, and he didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but today, somehow, there is always a sense of loneliness lingering in his heart. In fact, Liu Daoxi came in person in the afternoon and asked him to go over for dinner in the evening, but Liu Daode refused.
By the time it gets dark, the foodies have flown out to forage for food.
After eating, Liu Daode rarely turned on the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
The sophomore general squatted next to him, and Xiao Ash chose a comfortable position and lay in the master's arms and snorted melon seeds.
The gala was very lively, and the sketches were not bad.
As I was looking, my phone rang.
When I opened it, it was a New Year's message from Lin Xiaotong. At the end of the text message, let him board QQ, and the two chatted online.
Liu Daode replied, and then landed.
The number was still given by Lin Xiaotong, and he added a few friends on it, and he rarely used this to chat.
"What are you doing?"
"Watch the gala," Liu Daode replied simply.
"Alone?"
"Well, a man, a wolf, a dog, a squirrel. Liu Daode typed a few more words.
"Poor, by the way, what about foodies......"
"Go out and get food, what are you doing?" he asked.
"What else can I do, guard the computer and chat with you, the gala is not interesting. ”
……
During the time of chatting with Lin Xiaotong, Liu Daodao's mobile phone began to be lively. He kept receiving text messages, most of them from people from the village, and some of them were tourists who knew his number.
To these, he responded one by one.
Lin Xiaotong asked casually over there, and Liu Daode replied casually. The two were just gossiping, but he felt that the loneliness in his heart was fading little by little.
It wasn't until more than ten o'clock that Lin Xiaotong was sleepy, and the two ended chatting.
Watching TV again, Liu Daode also felt that it was not as good as just now, so he simply turned it off and moved a chair back to the courtyard.
Tonight's New Year, many families in the village have not slept at this point, the lights are shining, and the sound of children can be faintly heard.
Liu Daode retracted his gaze, and his consciousness was released. xh:.74.240.212
