"Tianqi, look. Ning Junqi said, raising his chin.

Chu Tianqi turned his head to look at it and said, "It's all a holiday." ”

"I know it's a holiday. Ning Junqi sneered, "I'm telling you, this is the place where our love was born, if there is no such place, I'm afraid there will be no fate between the two of us." ”

"Yes, yes, if you hadn't come here to work, how would we have met on the shuttle, and how could I catch the little white rabbit in my dream?" Chu Tianqi smiled and stretched out his hand to make movements.

"Nasty, take the dog's paw away. Ning Junqi sneered and went to hit the back of the other party's hand.

Chu Tianqi flashed for a moment, and continued to grab: "Your lines are early, I haven't caught the little white rabbit yet." ”

"Playing ......tricks in broad daylight" Halfway through the words, Ning Junqi "giggled" and laughed, his cheeks were crimson with laughter, and he bent over with a smile, "Okay, drive well." ”

"Obey orders, it's not appropriate in the daytime, and catch it at night. Chu Tianqi laughed and withdrew his right hand.

"you. Ning Junqi blushed, turned his head to look at the side and back, and looked at the shabby but friendly place.

Every time he passes by here, every time he sees the Qingniuyu Township Government Compound, Ning Junqi inevitably feels a lot of emotion. In the past, whenever he saw this, Ning Junqi would have mixed feelings, and sometimes he had infinite pain. And now that I have finally been in harmony with Tianqi for a hundred years, I see this courtyard again, and I am more happy and full of gratitude.

kept turning his head to look, only until the car turned the corner, and only when he couldn't see the yard at all, Ning Junqi reluctantly turned around.

Chu Tianqi could understand his wife's feelings, squeezed his eyes at his wife, and received the same response from his wife, everything was silent, and both of them had a strong sweetness in their hearts.

Yesterday morning, after Chu Tianqi had finished holding an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, Yue Jixian drove straight to the capital. At nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, the car entered the city. Chu Tianqi did not go home directly, but rushed to the capital airport, and when he just arrived at the pick-up gate, Ning Junqi rushed to the front with a smile on his face. Then the two drove directly to the old house, had dinner there, and sat with the old man until more than eight o'clock in the evening, before returning to the "nest" that belonged to the two.

This morning, driven by Chu Tianqi, the husband and wife were going back to their hometown Liulinbao to celebrate the Spring Festival there. The road was smooth, and when I passed through the Qingniuyu Township Government, the time was only more than ten o'clock in the morning.

After running for more than half an hour, the car turned into the village of Liulinbao and headed towards the village. The adults in the family are preparing for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they are all busy with things related to the New Year, and there are only cannons and children playing on the street.

After turning a few corners, the car stopped steadily outside the familiar courtyard, and the two pushed the door and got out of the car.

The red lantern at the door has been hung, and the red couplet is exceptionally fresh.

Hearing the sound of the car, the whole family came out.

Ning Junqi greeted his family one by one, while Chu Tianqi was busy picking up the New Year's goods in the trunk.

With a big bag and a small wrap, the family talked and laughed and entered the house.

After asking her son and daughter-in-law if they were "hungry", You Chunmei stared at her daughter-in-law's stomach.

The sharp-eyed Niu Niu said: "Grandma, are you looking at the baby?"

Ning Junqi's face was slightly red: "Mom, we have been married for less than a month. ”

You Chunmei let out an "oh", and couldn't help staring at her son suspiciously: "Tianqi, your face is not good-looking, you just got married and have to be leisurely, and you have a long life." ”

"Mom, what do you want?" Chu Tianqi couldn't cry or laugh, "There are a lot of things in the county these days, and I work overtime at night and on weekends, and I only returned to the capital yesterday afternoon." ”

"Giggle......" Niuniu laughed first.

Then, Chu Lijuan and Yang Mei laughed, and then everyone laughed, even the one-year-old doll "giggled" and laughed.

Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi both blushed.

Only You Chunmei disagreed: "What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth." ”

After You Chunmei said this, everyone laughed even harder.

After talking and laughing, people went about their own work.

Ning Junqi wanted to help her mother-in-law and eldest sister, but was pushed away by the two and asked her to sit and rest. So, she and Niuniu went to the courtyard, and stacked the firewood with Liu Xuanzhu and Chu Lirui.

……

As soon as the sun set, the red lanterns of the Chu family lit up, and the colorful lights on the windows also flashed.

In the room, the Chu family sat around the round table.

On the round table, a large plate of boiled pork ribs is steaming fragrantly, all kinds of stir-fried dishes are placed on the table, and white wine glasses and drink glasses have been poured with liquid.

His eyes swept over the faces of the family, and Chu Yuliang spoke: "It's another year of Spring Festival, and this year's Spring Festival is very different." This year's Chinese New Year has added new members, Junqi has arrived at our house, and our team is getting bigger and bigger. Come, everyone toasts together and wish our great motherland more prosperity. Dry. As he spoke, he raised his glass.

"Dry. Everyone agreed, the glasses touched crisply, and then they drank it all.

Putting down the wine glass, Ning Junqi was busy getting the wine bottle.

Liu Lianzhu grabbed the wine bottle first and poured liquor into the glass.

Chu Yuliang turned to his eldest daughter-in-law: "Junqi, you can pick up a cup." ”

"Me?" Ning Junqi was surprised, "No, it should be my mother who mentioned it." The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law haven't mentioned it yet. I'm the latest to join the family, and I'll toast when everyone mentions it. ”

"Junqi, do you think it's queuing up to buy tickets, and it's better to come first and come later?" You Chunmei answered, "Just mention it, you have a good voice." ”

"Just mention it!" everyone chimed in.

"No, no. Ning Junqi continued to excuse himself, "It's not appropriate for me to mention it." ”

"What's wrong? Although you are a new member of the family, you have done so many things for the family over the years, and we have long regarded you as a member of the family. Chu Yuliang said, "You mention the right one." ”

"Since your parents and everyone asked you to mention it, you can mention it. Chu Tianqi also signaled.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Junqi took the wine glass and stood up: "Dad, Mom, thank you for cultivating a good son and allowing me to find such an excellent husband." Thank you for the eldest sister, brother-in-law, Lirui, and Yangmei for taking care of your parents, Tianqi and I are not by the side of the second elder, thanks to your careful care. To be honest, although Tianqi and I have just gotten married, I have long regarded this place as my home, and my parents and everyone as my relatives. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, I wish my parents good health, and I wish my eldest sister and Lirui's family prosperity. ”

"Auntie, why don't you have me?" Niuniu interjected.

Ning Junqi smiled: "I wish my niece more and more beautiful, and find a handsome prince charming in the future." ”

"Auntie, what are you talking about? Niu Niu showed a shy expression.

"Hahaha. People laughed.

"Squeak. The little boy in Yangmei's arms suddenly screamed.

"Yo, and my little nephew. Ning Junqi leaned over and stroked the child, "I wish the little nephew a strong growth and future achievements that surpass all the elders on the table." ”

"Well, that's a good point. Chu Yuliang was the first to praise.

"I wish you all a happy New Year!" said Ning Junqi as he stretched out the wine glass in his hand.

Everyone immediately clinked glasses and drank a second glass of wine.

Next, people take turns to lift their glasses, and the order of lifting them is from oldest to youngest.

People are eating and drinking and talking, and the atmosphere is not lively.

"Ding-woo-woo", the landline phone rang.

Chu Yuliang was closest to the phone, got up and picked up the phone receiver, and said "Hey".

A loud male voice immediately came from the earpiece: "Xiongfei, Happy New Year!"

Hearing the other party's voice, Chu Yuliang hurriedly said: "Weimin, happy New Year! I said let the children accompany you to the New Year, you have to let them come back here." ”

"The kids said they weren't going to let them come back. This is the first year, and they have to go with you, this is the old Li'er. The other party's voice was still loud, "New Year's greetings to your whole family, I wish you and your sister-in-law good health, I wish my son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law all the best, and I wish my grandson and granddaughter to grow up strongly." ”

"In the end, it is a big cadre, and what is considered is comprehensiveness. Chu Yuliang laughed, "On behalf of the whole family, I wish the minister every step of the way and prosperity in his official fortune." ”

"Xiongfei, hit me with cymbals again. The other responded, "It seems that you are in a good mood." ”

"That's it. As he spoke, Chu Yuliang turned his head and shouted, "Junqi, talk to your father." ”

I had already heard from my father-in-law's words just now that I knew that it was my father who called, and Ning Junqi was waiting. Hearing his father-in-law's greeting, he immediately got up and approached and took the microphone.

The moment he took the microphone, Ning Junqi suddenly felt that his throat and eyes were tight, and he hesitated for a while before he made a hoarse voice: "Dad, you are home alone, I ......"

"I'm one person, I'm enjoying the world of two. Celebrate the holiday with your in-laws and relatives, and don't worry about me. The first time I celebrate the New Year at my mother-in-law's house, you have to ......" the man on the phone babbled and instructed.

……

The family ate happily, and then watched the Spring Festival Gala together, and then the women slept in the east house and the men slept in the west house. was worried that Ning Junqi would not be able to sleep on the kang, and a wooden bed was placed on the ground for her.

Even though it was the middle of the night when they lay down, people still got up before dawn.

The family arrived in the courtyard and lit a fire that had been built in advance yesterday.

Under the ignition of the birch bark, the vertical firewood petals slowly ignited and burned from the bottom up. Gradually, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the firewood burned with a "crackling" sound. In a short time, the entire firewood pile formed a large torch, which burned brightly.

The golden flames reflected the smiling faces of the people, the whole courtyard red, and seemed to reflect the sky.

Ning Junqi stretched out her hands, roasting the red fire, her hands were warm, and her heart was also warm. Turning his head, the man with a red and black face was also looking at him, his eyes full of love.

"Knock...... Click, squeak, two kicks, and flash thunder rang out one after another, drawing a beautiful trajectory of light and flame.

"Crackling", the red fire also made a sound again, and the whole fire became even more vigorous.
