Chapter 373: Saying Goodbye to the Old Year and Drinking Tu Su Together (1)
When Du Yun heard this, he was stunned and said, "Now, tomorrow is the New Year." ”
Chen Suqing has also been familiar with Ah Zhen in the past few days, but she is a little used to it, and she is not too embarrassed to drive her away, hearing Du Yun say this, she is naturally happy not to mention it, at least wait until the New Year.
They also found a small inn in Xuzhou to stay, and there were no others in the store at this time, only the owner and his wife, which was very clean and elegant.
Because they have to stay in the inn at least until the end of the New Year, at least three or four days, so at this time, they have more or less put down their hearts, and naturally they have to rest in Xuzhou.
Chen Suqing and Du Yun hadn't spoken for a while, when they saw Ah Zhen come in with a pot of wine, followed by Ah Fu and Mei Yichen, Mei Yichen was carrying a paper bag in her hand.
Mei Yichen raised the paper bag in his hand and said to Chen Suqing with a smile: "Qingniang, what do you see here?"
Chen Suqing looked at the wine in Ah Zhen's hand, guessed what was in her hand, and said, "Isn't it a wax medicine?"
Mei Yichen smiled: "No, let's make Tusu wine." ”
It is also a custom to use rhubarb, parsnip and other medicinal materials to soak Tusu wine during the New Year, and these medicines are called wax medicines. Chen Suqing looked at the packet of medicine and smiled: "At this time, can you still buy these things?"
At this time, Qian Laosan walked in and said, "After all, it's Xuzhou, and it comes and goes all year round." ”
Xuzhou is located on the shore of the canal, is the north and south water transport to rush, the throat of all roads, since ancient times, whether it is military or economic, Xuzhou is an important town.
At this time, although the Chinese New Year is approaching, all kinds of trade and water transportation have stopped, but there are still some stopped business travelers, and some traders take this opportunity to come out to do some business.
When Chen Suqing heard this, he stood up and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I also want to go shopping on the street." ”
Anyway, at this time, everyone had nothing to do, so they all went to the street together, Chen Suqing bought a set of clothes for Ah Zhen, and picked a few banners, thinking that it would be easy to wear during the New Year. At this time, there are not many stores that open after all, and the choices are limited, so I can only make do with a few good ones.
At this time, Chen Suqing's mood was not the same as when he was in Hangzhou, but he was much more relaxed, maybe the journey had already begun, but he didn't have the anxiety before he set off, maybe because he was about to celebrate the New Year, and was affected by that comfortable atmosphere.
They bought some more knick-knacks on the street and went back to the inn. As soon as he returned to the inn, Ah Fu took out the gum candy he bought on the street and handed a piece to Ah Zhen.
Ah Zhen didn't dare to take it, but the sugar was yellow and clear, and it exuded a slight fragrance, which made her eyes straight.
Ah Fu looked at her appearance, so he took her hand, stuffed a piece into it, and took a piece in his own mouth, and said with a smile: "Eat." ”
Chen Suqing looked at the two of them chewing candy, and felt a little warmth in her heart, and smiled at Mei Yichen: "This is a bit like the New Year." ”
Mei Yichen looked at her and said with a smile: "Is this candy delicious? My sister loves it, but I never eat it." “
Ah Fu took a piece of candy from the bag, handed it to him, and said, "You can taste it yourself." “
When Mei Yichen heard this, the corners of his eyes were slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately took the candy, a little stupid, and didn't know how to speak.
Chen Suqing looked at him, pursed his lips and smiled, and felt some joy in his heart, and then looked out the window again, and it began to snow outside.
The snow did not fall for a long time, and it stopped completely the next day, and only a thin layer accumulated on the ground. Chen Suqing got up early in the morning and walked out of the guest room to see that there was no one.
After all, they were in the inn, no more than at home, and they had nothing to prepare, so they simply rested. Especially those entourage, they took the opportunity to be lazy, and they also knew that during the Chinese New Year, they would not be punished.
Chen Suqing walked on the porch, looking at the faint snow on the eaves outside, and was a little distracted. When I was a child, at home, the Chinese New Year was the most important event of the year, and the scene of the family reuniting and playing together is still vivid.
She never thought that one day, she would not be at home for the New Year, and on this day, without the company of her relatives. But when all this happens, in addition to loneliness and sadness, she has some sobriety to face life directly.
Only by experiencing it will you realize that nothing will not happen.
Only when it happens, will you know that nothing cannot be resisted.
"Miss Chen. Chen Suqing was thinking about something distracted, only to hear someone behind her gently call her, Chen Suqing looked back, only to see that it was Duyun, she smiled and said: "Zen master, early." ”
Du Yun nodded in greeting and said, "Miss Chen, here in the morning, it seems that there is trouble in her heart. ”
Chen Suqing smiled, did not answer, turned his eyes back again, looked out, and the eye waves in his eyes moved slightly.
Du Yun said: "Miss Chen has any worries in her heart. ”
Chen Suqing sighed: "Every festival is full of family, such a festival is always a little sentimental. ”
When Du Yun heard this, there was a faint compassion at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "The dead ascend to the immortal realm, and the living are blessed with longevity, so you don't have to be too obsessed." ”
Chen Suqing's sad face stretched between his eyebrows, and he looked back at Du Yun and smiled: "Master monk, is it a secular family festival today?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be indulging in sadness, Du Yun also smiled and said, "Originally, when we were in the mountains, we would also have a meal with Ah Fu and her master. “
The two of them spoke again, and all the people got up in turn, and at noon they had eaten briefly, and the attendants began to work with their supper.
Everyone also changed into new clothes in the afternoon, and Chen Suqing Ah Fu and Ah Zhen also put the flags they bought yesterday and put them on their heads, so that there was really an atmosphere of the New Year.
In the evening, the meals were ready, everyone closed the door of the inn, opened a few seats in the middle, and the entourage sat on their own, Chen Suqing and they sat alone.
Chen Suqing looked at the full table of dishes, and said with a smile: "It's rare to be able to make such a table here." “
Ah Fu brought the Tusu wine brewed yesterday and put it on the table. Today's New Year, Mei Yichen's expression was not as cautious as usual, but said with a smile: "It's not easy for us to be together, and it's fate to be able to spend the New Year together." When it came to the word fate, he also deliberately glanced at Ah Fu.
Qian Laosan opened the jar of wine, looked inside, and said with a smile: "This wine is good, take some water and mix it with some later, so that the brothers can taste it." “
When Chen Suqing heard this, he remembered that when he was a child, every Chinese New Year, his father would mix honey water with a little Tusu wine to give himself and Chen Subing a drink. They are young, and even if the wine is diluted, after drinking it, they will still be dizzy, and the adults will laugh at them when they see it.
