There are many customs on the Green Island side of February 2nd, such as haircuts, fried beans and noodles.
He hadn't had a haircut for more than a month, Chen Anxiu got up in the morning and touched his hair, feeling that it was indeed a little long, "Today I'm going to take Mao Mao to cut my hair, do you want to be with Ton Ton?"
"Where are you going to cut it?" Zhang Shinian put on his tie and said to Chen Anxiu, "Hand me the watch on the bedside table." โ
"Go to the Cloud Temple. โ
"Where?" Zhang Shinian looked up while buttoning his watch, if he heard correctly, Shuyun Temple is a small temple on the hill north of the town, right? He and An Xiu have also been there, could there be a barber shop with this name?
Chen Anxiu leaned against the closet door and smiled heartlessly, "It's the Shuyun Temple you think, but you don't know that Uncle Zhang can cut his hair, and he can also repair zippers and shoes, but now that he is older, these are not often done, he is very comfortable to pick his ears, I used to like to let him get a haircut, and he can also pick his ears by the way, but he seems to only get a haircut." โ
Zhang Shinian said as usual, "This is the first time to cut your hair, you should be careful." I made an appointment in the morning and had some things to discuss. The implication is that he is not prepared to participate.
Tons of tons were eating breakfast in the outer room, and when they heard their conversation, they bit the bun in their mouths, jumped over and waved their hands and said, "I'm not going either, Dad, I'm going to learn the piano and paint today." "Before, his father took him to get a plank, he was watched in school for two whole months, no matter where he went, there were people whispering behind his back, and even the teacher's eyes were full of pity and sympathy. He didn't think it was ugly, but the feeling of being comforted every day would not be understood by those who had not tried it.
"Cut, you two are the busiest in the world, and you don't have time on weekends. But there is nothing to force in this matter, go to the two of them, isn't there another one, he patted Mao Mao who was working the kang to practice crawling, "Mao Mao, it's better for you, Dad will only take you alone." โ
A big fat face was imprinted, Chen Anxiu kissed his nose, and he grinned, revealing the only precious little tooth.
Tons of tons came over, tiptoeing and touching his head, giving great sympathy for his brother's upcoming encounter, and wondering what would happen to these few hairs, which were not too much.
Mao Mao is an unaware, and he is stupid and happy, but this situation only lasts until lunch time, after lunch, taking advantage of the warm weather, Chen Anxiu took Mao Mao to stop the cloud temple, before Chen's mother wanted to take Mao Mao over, but she was busy frying beans and her seeds at home today, and she was really not empty.
On the way to stop the cloud temple to pass a small bridge, there is a waterfall on the mountain wall on the left side of the bridge, in summer, the waterfall pours out from among the dense green plants, every time people pass by the bridge, they have to splash a body of mist, but now it is early spring, the waterfall is only a few wisps of water left, but people walk from the bridge, it still feels cool and shady, Chen Anxiu gives the pressure of the hat, buckle tightly.
At this time, he felt that someone was coming from behind, and the bridge was not wide, so he gave way to the side.
"Anxiu?" a familiar voice.
Chen Anxiu turned around and saw Jiang Xuan and Lin Meizi holding a child in their arms and just getting on the bridge, "So you are you, coming back for the weekend?"
Lin Meizi's complexion is fine, but she looks a lot fatter than before she got married, and it should be the reason why she hasn't recovered from giving birth to a child, "Yes, I came back to eat the fried beans at home, is this a buomy? I haven't seen it much, it's white and pure, it's really cute, and it's very similar to the photo you took when you were a child." โ
"He's just a little naughty. โ
Holding an unusually large orange in his arms, he lay on Chen Anxiu's shoulder, looking at these people curiously.
Jiang Xuan simply said hello, not much to say, he was holding a girl in his arms, the weight was not light, it should be their daughter Wen Yin, who was less than two months old, and the clothes in Meizi's arms should be a boy, Chen Anxiu was inexperienced, he couldn't guess how big it was, it should be bigger than Mao Mao, his eyes were not big, but he was very energetic, "Whose child is this?"
"Yaoyao's son, called Wen Feng. His parents were busy, and we helped take it for two days. โ
"Oh, they're all that big. No matter how big the grievances are, they are all adults, Chen Anxiu will not have an opinion on a child, he noticed that there are two shallow scars on the back of the child's exposed hands.
Lin Meizi may have also paid attention, helping the child pull the sleeves of the cotton coat, it was not Chen Anxiu's turn to speak, so he didn't ask.
Today, most of the people who went to this side with their children in their arms went to the Cloud Temple, and since they met them, they walked all the way together.
There are still a lot of people who bring their children to get a haircut today, most of them are grandparents, and there are also a few young mothers, Chen Anxiu counted the seven or eight in front of them, he thought to himself that fortunately they had eaten, otherwise it would take two hours just for these few.
There are a lot of temples on the east mountain, but the south is a tourist attraction, the incense is more vigorous on weekdays, there are many monks, the stop cloud temple is in the north mountain, there are few outsiders here all year round, the nearby villagers come to worship from time to time, it is very deserted, there is only one main hall in the stop cloud temple, two with the hall, there is a square square iron incense burner in the courtyard, there are some scattered incense next to it, this is all, from Chen Anxiu remembers, there is an old monk here called Zhang Yanming, and there is a little monk called Zhang Hui'an.
Before it was his turn, Chen Anxiu walked around with Mao Mao in his arms, and when he saw Hui An boiling water in the back, he went over to help without any trouble.
"I haven't seen you in a few years, when did you come back?"
The man stretched out his finger and gestured to him, and then signaled that he wanted to hug him.
Chen Anxiu handed Mao over, the man patted the soil on his hand before taking the child over, the slope of the Stopping Cloud Temple is rarely visited, it is very clean, it is a good place for talking, although Hui An can't speak, but he has learned lip language, Chen Anxiu has known each other for a long time, and he can understand a little gesture to some extent, so the conversation between the two is not difficult. In the middle, Jiang Xuan came over and politely asked where the toilet was, and Chen Anxiu pointed out the location behind the big tree.
When the others walked away, Chen Anxiu saw doubts in Hui An's eyes, "Are you strange about the relationship between us?" Actually, it is much better now, I heard that his father will be able to come out this year, and there are some things that I didn't ...... at the time Forget it, let's not talk about it, I am now opening a restaurant with Grandpa Jiang San, and I have time to come over to eat with Uncle Zhang, and I am still in the same place. There are vegetarian ones, there are all kinds of meats, and I can let you hide in the kitchen and eat more. โ
Hui An knew that he was joking, and he laughed along, and he was in his twenties, and his eyes were still very clean and quiet.
The stove of the tin kettle is very small, and the firewood needs to be chopped very small to put it in, Chen Anxiu has a lot of strength, so he helped to chop some, and he was very energetic at first, and chased his oranges to climb around the grass twice, and it didn't take long to get sleepy, lying on his father's lap and his head was like a chicken pecking rice, Chen Anxiu patted him on the back in his arms, thinking that if three o'clock was not in line, forget it, the weather was cold, and the haircut in the yard would be troublesome if he had a cold, but the haircut was much faster than he imagined, and it would be their turn at a little more than two o'clock.
"Then I'll go over first, and we'll talk when I'm free. When he got up, Hui An took his hand and gestured very quickly in his palm, Chen Anxiu smiled, "Do you want to tell me that everything will be fine this year?"
Hui An nodded, and Chen Anxiu complained to him with little appreciation, "When did you learn the fortune telling of the Taoist priest next door." โ
Chen Anxiu cut it first, the board size is relatively easy, and you don't need to pay attention to any shape, when he cares, he is quite interested, but when it is his turn, it is not like that, holding his father's fingers tightly, the orange is gone, his eyes are staring at the scissors, and his head is hidden in his father's arms, looking like he is facing a great enemy.
Chen Anxiu was patient, and persuaded two sentences in a good voice, but he didn't appreciate it at all, and howled twice to protest, Chen Anxiu thought to himself, I don't know how to talk about you, I am used to acting like you, "Uncle Zhang, cut it directly." "Sooner or later, it's going to have to be like this.
The child's father spoke, Zhang Yanming no longer hesitated, but the scissors didn't get close yet, and he cried with a wow, this time it was really crying, Jin Doudou fell like no money one by one, Chen Anxiu was speechless, he used to take him to get an epidemic vaccination, and he only cried when the needle poked down to push the potion, and now the scissors haven't touched it, he cried like this, I don't know what to do, I thought I would cut him a piece of meat, but today Chen Anxiu made up his mind to cut his hair, so even if he was crying in his father's arms, he couldn't prevent the hairs on his head from being cut offใ
"Do you want to keep these hairs?" Zhang Yanming asked Chen Anxiu.
Chen Anxiu looked dazed, "What are you doing with it?" It's not a big girl's long braids that can be sold for money.
Immediately, a few young mothers jumped out and said, "How can you not keep it?" Make a brush or something for the child, leave a souvenir, and show the child how good it is in the future. โ
Chen Anxiu thought to himself, what is there to do, it is not enough to spend that effort, but under the gaze of so many mothers full of love, he didn't dare to say this sentence, and with a reverent expression, he took the few hairs and put them in his pocket in a paper bag.
When the young mothers saw this, they all praised him, "This is like a father." โ
Chen Anxiu hurriedly agreed, and said quite shamelessly, he must leave the child until eighty, there is a thought when he is old, as soon as he goes out, he touched out the few hairs that are rising, and the mountain wind blew on the ground, and the scattered and disappeared, he wiped the little tears left in the corners of his eyes and said, "You are not a phoenix, what am I doing with a few hairs of yours, don't cry, it's really spineless." โ
The scissors were all cut, and it was better to hum a few times than nothing, rubbing against him, rubbing tears and saliva on the down jacket that his father was wearing for the first time today.
Chen Anxiu was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and he was about to leave him on the side of the road, Mao Mao hugged him tightly and didn't let go, the two of them were arguing all the way back, and Chen's mother heard their voices from afar in the house, "What are you father and son arguing about on the street? Mao Mao, what's the matter? Why are you still crying after such a while? Grandma take a look." โ
Lying aggrieved in his grandmother's arms.
"Why are you presumptuous?" Chen's mother was partial to her grandson, and turned her head to blame Chen Anxiu.
Of course, Chen Anxiu refused to bear this charge, "It's just to cut a few hairs on him, and he still knows that Lu Dao is distressed." Mom, are the beans fried?"
"It's all in there, go get it yourself, and I'll take it out into the streets, lest he be hungry, and he won't be able to eat these things." โ
Chen's mother fried a lot, the soybeans are salty, the black beans are fried with sugar, they have been cooled, it is the most crisp time, put it in the mouth and chew it rattling, in addition to the noodles, the egg noodles are dry fried, there is a kind of fried, a small pot, everyone who comes is a handful, and there are two plates on the table of the guests, and there is nothing to eat as a snack.
Chen Anxiu sorted out the recent accounts at the counter, and before he felt anything, it was dark, now it was cold, there were few people going up the mountain, and the business of the small restaurant at night was very light, except for the people on the construction site who would come down to eat, there were almost no others, he asked Liu Bo to make the best dishes, stew more soup, and he was ready to go up the mountain and call people down to eat. Now at this temperature, it is not possible to build a house, but the decoration work is not delayed, the engineering team is found by Chen's father, and it is an old friend of his surnamed Zhao, because it is an old acquaintance for many years, the price is reasonable, and the decoration quality is also good.
When he went up, those people hadn't stopped, Chen's father had boiled hot water and was making tea, and Zhao Ming, the foreman of the small packet, was sitting next to him.
Chen Anxiu came over to say hello, "Uncle Zhao, let's get here today, let the big guy come over and have some tea, and go down to eat in a while, the meals are all cooking, today is February 2nd, and there are beans to eat." โ
Zhao Ming threw Chen Anxiu a cigarette, smiled and said to Chen's father, "Old Chen, it's comfortable to work here with your eldest son, don't say anything about the meal on time, this meal is good, it's a restaurant every day." โ
"Then you will come often, and he will definitely have to renovate the house in the future. โ
After the second day of February, although the weather in Green Island City has not warmed up, the wind will no longer be as biting as in winter.
*
The wind is indeed not cold, but the matter is far from over, Qin Mingjun unbuckled his collar, leaned on the windowsill, and listened to Lu Yaya say over there, "Qin Mingjun, to be honest, I am a little suspicious of your motives now, do you really plan to join forces with me?"
"Of course, is there any other reason for this? It can't be that I'm going to blackmail you with the matter of bumping into Lu Zhanzhan, right?"
The voice on the other side of the phone froze, and after a while, he continued, "In this case, let you check Chen Anxiu, after so long, can't you even find out who his biological mother is? โ
"May I ask, what exactly do you want to do or what are you suspecting?"
"This is my private matter, I refuse to answer, you just have to do your part, my promise remains the same......"
Ji Junyan knocked on the door and came in, "Brother, it's time to eat, do you want to stay here tonight?"
Qin Mingjun covered the phone and said to him, "You eat first, I'll come over later." โ
Ji Junyan nodded and withdrew from Lu, his cousin was mysterious, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, he heard a few words through the crack in the door, what Lu Sanshao was? Could it be that Lu Yaya again?
Lu Yaya hung up the phone, the smile on the corner of her mouth was unclear, Qin Mingjun's younger brother, as far as he knew, Qin Mingjun was just a cousin, called Ji Mingcheng, where did he come from such a younger brother, called so affectionate, and still live together?
