Chapter 697: Night Talk
After Liu Shilei and Guan Yu got up, the other three followed suit and joined the team of sticking Spring Festival couplets. There is a lot of strength in numbers, and it is the Spring Festival, so the efficiency is particularly high.
The courtyard is plastered with Spring Festival couplets and lanterns, the Spring Festival couplets were written by Guan Zhongfu to find the best handwriting person in the village, and the lanterns were bought by Guan Yu from the city. Originally, he also bought Spring Festival couplets, but Guan Zhongfu said that the Spring Festival should respect traditional customs, and it was more flavorful to write by hand, so he put away the Spring Festival couplets he bought.
As a result, the whole courtyard was filled with a festive smell.
Next, it's time to prepare lunch. The rural food is not Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the main meal is generally placed at noon, so the lunch meal is relatively heavy.
In the past, only the two brothers Guan Yu and Guan Zhongfu celebrated the Spring Festival, and the meal was more casual, but now there are three more people at once, and Guan Zhongfu treats it quite solemnly, but he has prepared rich ingredients, but he has no chance to start. Because, these jobs were all covered by Liu Shilei and Zhang Xiao.
At noon, a table full of fragrant dishes is served.
Guan Yu and Lin Dong were sent out to set off firecrackers, Lin Dong had a cigarette in his mouth, let it burn but never took a puff, watching Guan Yu fiddle with firecrackers there in a daze.
Guan Yu's eyes showed his strangeness, understood his current feelings, and said with a smile: "Come on, it's up to you to set off the firecrackers." ”
Lin Dong shook his head and chuckled, "I don't do such childish things. ”
Guan Yu pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "How can it be said that it is a childish thing, this is a tradition, a tradition of the Chinese people, come on, don't grind." ”
Under Guan Yu's stiff pulling, Lin Dong reluctantly touched the cigarette butt in his mouth and gently touched the firecracker setting off site, and then the fireworks bloomed brilliantly, Lin Dong looked at the fireworks, and the corners of his mouth set off a slight arc.
Guan Yu grinned.
The former orphan, the former killer, when he didn't meet Guan Yu, he didn't celebrate the New Year in the real sense, and he didn't let off a firecracker, even when he was a child.
He is a human being, he is not a cold-blooded killer, and he also has regrets, and now Guan Yu is making up for his shortcomings.
Although the two did not express it, they knew it.
Life is not perfect, and if there are regrets that can be made up for in the future, don't be afraid.
"Alright, it's time to eat. Guan Yu clapped his hands, turned around and walked towards the door.
After a meal, everyone was happy, and the smile on Lin Dong's face was much more and more sincere.
After lunch, the four old men were drunk, but fortunately, they were all able to walk, and according to the custom, they went to worship their ancestors.
At night, Zhang Xiao ran to Guan Yu's room, occupied Guan Yu's position, and talked about the whispering between the two best friends.
So, Guan Yu, who was originally going to be warm with Liu Shilei, was kicked out of the room, and he only went to Lin Dong and Guan Tian for a drink depressedly.
In Guan Yu's room, Zhang Xiao took Liu Shilei's hands, sat on the bed, and said with a smile: "Shilei, it's not easy to have a chance to chat alone with you for a while, Guan Yu is too, holding your hand all the time, there is no chance at all, what a lingering pair." ”
A faint flush appeared on Liu Shilei's face, and she tapped Zhang Xiao's forehead and said angrily, "Now is not a chance." ”
Zhang Xiao pursed his lips and said, "If I hadn't taken the initiative to post it, maybe I wouldn't have had this opportunity until the Year of the Monkey." ”
"Okay, okay, it's a big deal to give you a little more time in the future, let's have a good chat. Liu Shilei said helplessly.
"Look at what you said so reluctantly, forget it, hey, the female university is not staying. I didn't expect that in the future, the relationship between the two of us will not only be girlfriends, but also the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Zhang Xiao smiled evilly.
Liu Shilei slapped her forehead, which was quite a headache.
Zhang Xiao seemed to know Liu Shilei's thoughts, and couldn't help but quip: "I warn you, when I get married to Guan Tian in the future, you have to shout this sister-in-law, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you." ”
"Then when are you going to get married?" Liu Shilei wisely chose to change the topic.
When it comes to talking about marriage, Zhang Xiao also blushed slightly, and said softly: "Guan Tian said that he would get married when his situation is stable, and it will not take more than half a year." ”
"Ah, I'm going to call your sister-in-law in half a year. Liu Shilei sighed helplessly.
Zhang Xiao was quite proud of this: "This is a rule, and it can't be broken." By the way, what about you and Guan Yu, when are you going to get married, I heard Guan Tian say this morning, Dad is ready to build a new house, is it for you?"
"Guan Tian is the eldest brother, if you want to prepare, it will be prepared for you, okay?" Liu Shilei said with a roll of eyes, "As for me getting married, it's still early, Guan Yu is still in school, and I have to wait until he graduates at the earliest." ”
In the end, Liu Shilei is not very confident.
"Why don't you talk to me, how did you get along with Guan Yu?" Zhang Xiao asked suddenly.
Liu Shilei gently twisted Zhang Xiao's ears, the flush on her face was obviously a little more, and she said angrily: "When did you gossip so much, ah!"
As Zhang Xiao's best friend, Liu Shilei knows Zhang Xiao's personality very well, a little lively and a little naughty, but for the things she identifies, she is just a tendon, such as talking about friends with Guan Tian, she doesn't care about Guan Tian's family background, she likes to talk about marriage to the point of talking about marriage, completely ignoring the opposition of her family. You must know that Zhang Xiao's family background is much better than Liu Shilei, and she was able to get together with Guan Tian, presumably the process was still very tortuous.
"Ah, it hurts!" Zhang Xiao grinned, waited until Liu Shilei let go, rubbed her ears, and said with a wicked smile: "Shilei, you are not the kind of person who gets angry when you say a few words, is he chasing you, the process is very exciting, tell me quickly." ”
Seeing Zhang Xiao's expectant expression, Liu Shilei's face turned red to the root of her ears. She can't tell Zhang Xiao, the process of her relationship with Guan Yu is actually not complicated, but she was given an aphrodisiac by a young person, and she happened to be bumped into by Guan Yu, and then sparks were sparked in the collision.
She was prepared to bury this matter in her heart and never say it.
So, Liu Shilei resisted wordlessly.
After Zhang Xiao's stalking was still fruitless, she gave up decisively and changed the topic: "Shilei, tell me about Guan Yu." ”
"What does he have to say, just an ordinary college student. Besides, you know everything I know, I don't know, Guan Tian may have talked to you about it. Liu Shilei said.
Zhang Xiao said meaningfully: "You know, that's not what I mean. An ordinary college student can afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz home? An ordinary college student can take out a whole box of Moutai from the back compartment? Moreover, according to my observation, the age of Moutai is not low, at least not something that ordinary people can afford to drink. Don't sue me, just Guan Yu, or an ordinary college student?"!
