Chapter 120: Warm Winter
Looking at Gu Fanxin's actions, Chu Dongmei secretly nodded in approval.
The first time I went to visit the elders, it was a bit too much to go empty-handed like Lao Lin said, and the fruit was the most suitable.
Even though it's winter, it's not very cold when you go out. Looking at the mother-like master, Gu Fan smiled in his heart. This is the embodiment of her ideal mother!
Walking along the road, the colorful "costumes" in the city to celebrate the New Year, as well as the colorful neon lights hanging on the trees, all show the blooming flowers of yesterday.
The majestic, tall buildings seemed to be able to contain all the cold of this winter.
Before she knew it, a few months had passed, and everything here was warm and intimate.
The warm wind blew Gu Fanxin's hair, like a kind elf, gently brushing her face to send a chill, and slowly blowing a few strands of hair around her ears, playing a romantic symphony of nature.
The sound of the wind blowing was like an invisible hand, gently knocking on her heart.
The winter sun seems to have a special preference for this city, shining warmly on people's hearts, and people on the road have a pleasant smile on their faces.
"Happy New Year!" "Whether they know each other or not, people will happily greet each other when they meet.
The children happily clapped their hands and sang cheerful songs, holding sugar gourds and other delicious foods in their hands, and happily calling friends.
Xiaocao happily stood on the side of the road, blinking happily and dancing in the breeze.
The vibrant greenery, and the rare winter green, led her to walk towards that green.
She seemed to hear the grass singing happily. Sing about your luck, born in this beautiful city, sing about your own value, and decorate this city with the green of life.
Gu Fan couldn't help squatting down and stretched out his hand to caress the green leaves of the grass.
"Master, master, I really didn't expect that the vitality of these little grasses in winter is still so tenacious!"
"Yes!" No matter what kind of adversity they grow up in, no matter what kind of setbacks they face, they will continue to live tenaciously and bravely!" Professor Lin punned, full of admiration.
"Then when it snows and freezes, will they still be able to resist?" Gu Fanxin's tone was full of worry.
"Rest assured, the winter here is warm from head to toe. We can't experience the cold winter scene of 'thousands of miles of ice' and 'thousands of miles of snow drifting' like the northern winter described in "Spring Snow in Qinyuan". ”
Professor Lin explained gently.
"Living in Shanghai, we don't have the opportunity to see the snowy world like winter powdered jade. Chu Dongmei seemed to be very sorry, but in fact, her words were full of satisfaction and pride. "It doesn't snow in our land. ”
Snow has the charm of snow, and no snow has the advantage of not snowing. Professor Lin looked at his watch and smiled, "Let's go!"
A few people walked into a deep alley.
Walking into the ancient alley, the alley paved with bluestone slabs is less than two meters wide, sandwiched between the antique old houses on both sides, and the corner is endless, just like the Jiangnan water town in the ink painting.
Rows of old houses line the alleys, and the quiet and ancient atmosphere makes people feel as if they are in antiquity hundreds of years ago, and the little stars are jumping happily.
"Host, master, the atmosphere here is so kind!I feel like I've gone back in time!!"
Professor Lin: They stopped in front of an old house.
Gu Fanxin looked at the old house that made Xiaoxing excited.
This old house has been baptized by the years, and deep wrinkles have been carved on the face. The eaves are a little dilapidated, as if to silently tell people that it has a long history.
The courtyard walls of the house also look like they are quite old. It is an old brick wall, covered with carved bricks and a creeper that has turned a little yellow.
It looks simple and quiet, long and intimate, ancient and feminine. There was a large vermilion wooden door in front of the house, and Gu Fanxin gently knocked on the smooth copper ring on the door.
Little Star was so excited that she wanted to run out and dance a song, but she pressed it again.
"Allah is coming, here is it!" The one who came to open the door was an old lady in a red Tang suit, with a red face, crane hair and a childish face, and her spirit looked very good.
"Happy New Year, Auntie!" Chu Dongmei pulled Gu Fanxin and introduced: "This child is Gu Fanxin, a disciple of our family's Lao Lin, this is Grandma Gu!"
"Happy New Year to Grandma Gu! I wish you good health! All the best!" Gu Fan bowed to Grandma Gu in his heart.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, you're all here, come in, come in! It's cold outside, right?"
Grandma Gu greeted warmly, and it seemed that Professor Lin's family was quite familiar with Grandma Gu's family.
Seeing Gu Fanxin bowing, Grandma Gu smiled fondly, grabbed her hand and pulled it up.
Grandma Gu looked Gu Fanxin up and down, and at first glance, she fell in love with this white and clean girl.
Many old people like well-behaved, white-looking, and beautiful little girls, who like her when they see her.
She affectionately took Gu Fanxin's hand and walked in, "This girl is so handsome!
He turned back to Chu Dongmei and greeted them warmly: "Let's go, you two hurry up and go into the house!"
Gu Fanxin felt that there were still many good people in the world, and now she felt it herself. Like Professor Lin's family, Zhang Minyi's family, and like the senior brother Yao Hongwei.
The master and the master treat themselves as if they were not their own parents than their own parents.
However, her biological children are also not favored, she has to be liked by everyone, and she can't get a kind look from her biological parents, let alone love!
As soon as they entered the house, Professor Gu Jingsheng and his wife greeted them, Professor Gu's wife was a gentle and demure woman, and it could be seen that Professor Gu's wife must have been very beautiful and well-dressed when she was young.
Several people sat down separately, and the tables and chairs in the house were made of rosewood, and the patterns on the chairs were finely carved, and you would smell the fragrance of rosewood when you sat down.
"Old Gu, see what good things I brought you?" Professor Lin's mysterious tone aroused everyone's curiosity.
Everyone looked at him curiously. I saw his baby take out a bag of tea from his briefcase.
Chu Dongmei couldn't help but smile dumbly when she saw it, isn't this the tea that Fan Xin gave him?
"This is the tea that this kid has found time to make by hand in his busy schedule, and the quantity is limited, so much I have it!
Professor Gu Jingsheng and his wife were interested: "Then let's try it!"
"Girl, you come and make tea for them!" Professor Lin intended to let his disciple show his face in front of people, and Gu Fanxin obediently agreed.
The ancient grandmothers were appreciating the little tea leaves that were about to be brewed.
Mrs. Gu took out the antique purple clay pot tea set that she had entertained the guests.
Gu Fanxin went to clean his hands first.
She carefully poured the teapot with boiling water, then picked up the kettle and poured water into the purple clay kettle, and the tea leaves in the kettle tumbled up and down.
The refreshing fragrance of tea leaves makes people feel refreshed.
Several people waited with bated breath.
Professor Gu Jingsheng used the lid of the pot to gently scrape off the white foam on the surface of the tea.
Gu Fanxin flushed water into the purple clay pot for the second time, covered the lid, and poured boiling water on the outside of the pot.
Later, the tea soup in the pot was poured into the smelling cup in turn, and I saw that her hands were high and low and rhythmic, called "phoenix nodding".
Professor Gu Jingsheng watched in surprise as the girl performed the tea ceremony, while Professor Lin glanced at Professor Gu proudly.
After pouring tea into the smelling cup, Gu Fanxin turned the tea cup upside down, covered it on the smelling cup, and respectfully handed it to Professor Gu and Professor Lin in turn.
Professor Gu held the cup with his thumb and forefinger, held the bottom of the cup with his middle finger, and took a sip of tea, but did not swallow it immediately, but left it in his mouth to savor it slowly.
