It's another year of the Lantern Festival, and several children are one year older, and they sit around a table to knead the rice balls and heat the pot as usual.

Hongyun leaned to the side of the stove and stretched out his little hand, but was pulled into Honghui's arms and fell diagonally. I threw down the long spoon in horror and prepared to put it out, Yan Yu had already blocked the stove, saving the ignorant little master and my Honghui, but my hand was stuck to the edge of the pot, and suddenly a blister turned red.

Meiyu and a few people took the children out of the kitchen like ducklings, and I pulled Yan Yu to ask Su Changqing for help. Xiao Su Tongshoe's face was pale, he carried the medicine box on the table, grabbed Yan Yu's hand and applied the ointment without pity, and his usual giggling became silent.

I gently lifted Yan Yu's sleeve, but fortunately only my hand was burned, but it was just ...... There is no trace of the light-colored scar that used to be.

The two of them occasionally looked at each other, Yan Yu bit her lip and endured the pain, Xiao Su frowned and stroked, and almost stuck it and blew it. Oh, it turns out that there are professionals to help "dermabrasion beauty", no wonder.

No longer worried about Yan Yu, I turned back to the dining room with confidence, Honghui was smiling and caressing Hongyun to the bare head door on his chest, and looked at him with little tiger teeth, "Brother is fine." ”

Yin Zhen pursed his lips and was silent, Lan Si stood at the table with a big belly, next to the still slender Song family, all of whom carefully lowered their heads and secretly looked at his unkind expression.

Pushing the children to sit down, walked to their seats, and saw that someone who was sitting still was still staring at Hongyun, so frightened that the little guy was so scared that his face was about to stick to his chest, I hurriedly smiled and handed the bowl of rice balls to him, "Fourth master, it's time to eat, you can say something, let the concubines sit down, Lan Si is about to give birth, it's not good to always stand like this." ”

Yin Zhen retracted his gaze and looked at the glutinous rice balls in front of him, which were much better than last year, and there were few cracks. The corners of his lips moved slightly, and three words overflowed, "Sit down." ”

Lance sat down slowly on the edge of the chair, his head bowed and his hands on his stomach, almost touching the table. No one moved the chopsticks, and the children were very obedient and low-browed, only Hongwan looked at the man sitting next to me, blinking with big eyes and pursing his small mouth.

Yinzhen took the chopsticks in front of Honghui and handed them to him, and ordered "dinner" in a low voice, and the family moved.

The sad Lantern Festival, this is the new beginning of the new year?

The hot meal on the table, with a slightly cold atmosphere, began to scatter small snowflakes in the yard.

Is this a good year for the snow or the fifteenth day of the first month?

The snow was getting heavier and heavier and the courtyard was piled up, and Yinzhen leaned on the soft couch to read, occasionally raising his eyes through the window to see Honghui and I taking my younger siblings to build a snowman with an umbrella. The little girl, who already knew how to write her name, giggled with her fingers on the belly of one of the little snowmen.

Honghui walked back to my room, pinched a piece of rouge paper, and put a little blush on the red snowman.

Also coming out with him was Yinzhen, standing beside me and looking at the five large and small snowmen in the courtyard, his face finally relaxed after a long time.

Yinzhen saw Honghui's treasured booklet for the first time, and watched him draw snowmen on it, each with its own title, lined up from Ama to Eniang, from Honghui to sister to younger brother. Unlike in the courtyard, he painted a snowman holding hands.

Yinzhen picked up Honghui and sat in the chair, let him lean on himself and look over his head, sometimes squinting at the boy in his arms, Honghui also squinted his eyes and looked back like him, it was really similar.

Put down the booklet and re-open a page, Yinzhen took a brush and handed it to Honghui, wrapped his small hand with his right palm and drew on it, it was actually the scene at this time. I stood aside and watched, the snow outside was dazzling, I closed my eyes and opened them again, father and son had signed their names in the corners, looking at each other and smiling, the two faces were still very similar.

In the evening, the snow stopped, and Yinzhen got into the carriage with three children wrapped like red marshmallows. Hong Wan leaned into his arms and carefully lifted the corners of the curtain, staring at the dark street outside with round eyes, and closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to make a sound. Yin Zhen carefully blocked the wind pouring in from the window with his hand, looking at Hongwan's serious and quiet appearance, his eyes were full of smiles.

Honghui helped Hongwan to sit next to me, whispered to his younger brother, told him about the street market of the Double Ninth Festival, the sugar gourd and chrysanthemum cake he had eaten, and the dogwood he once put in his purse.

Hongwan frowned, raised her head and listened carefully, occasionally looking at Yinzhen, occasionally looking at me, staring at Honghui with black ink-like eyes, and a yearning smile gradually gathered on her little face, as if she imagined that scene.

The street market with various lanterns hanging high came into view, and in the lively bargaining and shouting, I heard the subtle childlike voice of Hongyan, mixed with Yinzhen's low laughter.

The street was full of lanterns, young men and women surrounded and guessed the riddle, Hongwan was held in Yinzhen's arms and pointed to a colorful peacock lamp, Gao Wuyong squeezed over and picked up the riddle paper.

A few small words on the paper: Peacock flies southeast, type.

Honghui pinched the riddle paper and looked down and thought, took the pen that Xiao Gao brought back, and wrote "Sun" on it. After a while, Gao Wuyong came back with the peacock lantern and handed it over to the red hand, and the little girl held it high and smiled more proudly than the peacock.

Honghui and Hongwan actually took a fancy to the same lady's lantern, with a light powder blue dress and high temples. Yinzhen raised her eyebrows and looked at her two sons, then looked at me again, and motioned for Gao Wuyong to pick it up.

Meiwan squatted beside Honghui with Hongwan in her arms, and the two brothers stared at the riddle paper: looking for the cold, miserable, miserable, and tragic, and playing the name of the brand.

I looked at the serious Hongwan funny, I didn't believe he could understand it, Honghui's little face was very tangled, and he looked up at him Amma.

Yinzhen leaned over and curled the corners of his lips, seeing that he was holding the pen with a red hand, I took the brush and wrote "word double" on the paper. Gao Wuyong looked at the master carefully, and when he saw the fourth master nodding, he smiled and took the note and squeezed it back.

When he stood in front of the two brothers again with the lady's lamp, there was a thin sweat on his forehead, but he didn't know which one to hand it to, pitiful.

Honghui raised his hand to take a look at me and stuffed it into Hongwan's hand, but Hongwan held it up and handed it to me, the corners of his mouth were pursed on his cool little face, and he whispered awkwardly, "Give it to Eniang." ”

Honghui stroked the red tiger head hat on Hongwan's head, nodded at me with bright eyes, which made me feel good, holding the faces of the two boys and kissing each other, holding Honghui's hand and taking the lantern.

Yin Zhen casually pinched Honghui's grinning little face, nodded Hongwan's embarrassed red face, hugged Hongwan and turned around and walked to the shop not far away, and said, "Take you to eat Lantern Festival." ”

The store was full, there were still people waiting to come in outside the door, and Yinzhen had already led us to the second floor. Sitting around the table, listening to the warm greeting of the head of the hall, five bowls of hot Lantern Festival were served in a short time, in addition to the golden fried Lantern Festival.

It turned out that this man had already asked Gao Wuyong to book a seat.

The three children happily ate the most famous lantern festival in the market, walnut kernel filling, rose filling, osmanthus hawthorn, sesame peanuts, all of which were delicious, comparable to the eight treasure Lantern Festival of the old Kang in the palace.

Yinzhen walked to the window and pointed downstairs, Gao Wuyong trotted out, and before we finished eating, he came back with a few puzzle papers. Yin Zhen took the pen and paper and looked through them one by one, filled in the words and handed them to Xiao Gao before sitting back at the table, seeing Hong Bang chewing and laughing and saying that it was delicious, her thumb and fingertips wiped the white soup from her mouth.

When Gao Wuyong entered the door with a handful of red, green, and green lanterns, the three children were lying on the window looking out, and when they looked back, they were all stunned. Mei Yu and Xie Yu hurriedly took the lantern and handed him a handkerchief, Xiao Gao turned around and wiped the sweat that fell from his forehead, it was really hard for him on a cold day.

Yinzhen stood in the middle, surrounded by three pairs of eager eyes, and even Hongwan showed a rare expression of expectation.

When Honghui took the lantern, he showed the little tiger tooth again, looked at me and smiled, "Eniang, Honghui has two calf lanterns this year." "His lantern once a year, I really can't forget, I don't know what color Yinxiang made for him on his birthday this year.

Hongwan's is a marquee, with flowers, birds, fish and insects painted in ink, very plain, the little guy gently lifts it, watching it keep turning, and his eyes are shining.

Hongwan pouted and tugged at the hem of Yinzhen's robe, looking at his brother for a while and his younger brother for a while, deliberately ignoring the peacock lamp he loved before, staring at her Ama and the pink lotus lamp in his hand.

Yin Zhen squatted down and handed the hoof of the little red horse to the red horse, the little girl dodged and shook her head, her pouting mouth was already slightly pursed downward, her big eyes were watery, and I saw a wicked smile flashing in her Amma's eyes.

"Yours. Yinzhen put away the smile and handed over the lotus lamp, and Hongwan stuck to him and took it with a smile, and gently stroked the big pink petals with his little hand.

I picked up the abandoned little red horse from the ground and looked at it carefully, although it was not in the dark and it was not in vain, but this man was still very caring, and he actually learned the way that Yinxiang coaxed Honghui.

"Do you like it?"

Turning our heads to look at the man standing next to us, we actually glanced at the lady's lantern given by our two sons at the same time. I couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "Give it to me?"

Yin Zhen shook his head, lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Ours." ”

The smile on the lips didn't have time to end, the three children had already looked straight over, and the ignorant eyes saw that I was weak for a while, and picked up the little red horse to cover my face, complaining that my face was also red.

Yin Zhen covered his mouth with the back of his hand and coughed lightly, "Go home." ”

Away from the bustling street market, we creaked on the snow and the clatter of horse-drawn carriages not far behind us. The child with the lantern walked between me and Yinzhen, and it was bright in the dark night.

That year, it was only Honghui, but now it has become three, and the same market is the same lively. The hustle and bustle has passed, and my feelings have changed, and I no longer look forward to the two-person world, but I just feel that this is very good.

~~~

Yan Yu got married, and Su Changqing, who claimed to have not tasted lovesickness for more than 20 years, married her.

I don't know if the old man of his family is not satisfied, the former imperial doctor in the palace actually married a girl. But I knew that the man who removed her scars and always had a smile on his face would be good to her.

In the previous years, I was careful to get in her way, and in the years that followed, she became as important as the eyebrows. Before I got married, I cried that I didn't want to leave Baylor House, and I still wanted to stay and serve me. I still reluctantly pushed her out of the door, prepared all kinds of dowries and sent away this good girl given by Yinzhen.

A new little girl was added to the yard, green jade, which was also given by Yinzhen, who looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old and loved to laugh, and she had the shadow of Yan Yu when she spoke. But I think that people who have experienced life and death together cannot be replaced, but it is inevitable, because they have all grown up, and even in modern times, they have reached the age of marriage.

Xiao Su would occasionally bring Yan Yu with us, and we still sat around the courtyard as before, watching a few children play. Yan Yu also asked Yinzhen to say goodbye as before, made tea for me, laughed with the three of Meiyu, and ran around chasing Hongwan...... The smile on his face was different.

I discussed with Yinzhen that we should arrange a marriage for Meiyu and them, but he just shook his head and said that he would take a look.

On the thirteenth day of February, Lan Si did not make a fuss like last time, and gave birth to a son, Lao Kang was very happy, and gave him the name with a wave of the royal pen: Hongshi.

I just knew that it turned out that Yinzhen had another son after four years, which would make him so happy. It's just that I know this child better, just like I know Honghui, I know that he is the only son who was executed by his own Ama clan.

Xiao Su, as the doctor of Baylor Mansion, still stood in that courtyard with me, although he was not used, but he brought me good news - Yan Yu is pregnant, which is the most beautiful thing I heard on this day.

When preparing supplements for Yan Yu, I thought of a very important question, Xiao Su actually ate my girl in advance under my nose. In the face of their happiness and honesty, I can't say anything, I only threaten Xiao Su This is his handle, and I caught it.

Su Changqing smiled shamelessly, and said to me seriously with that attitude that was not a pleading: "Find me if you have something to do, let go of pregnant women and innocent children." ”

With his words, I am relieved.

People say that happiness is unparalleled, but in this warming February, I heard the second good news: on the first day of March, Yinxiang got married.

There is only half a month left, and this Lao Kang is too good at tossing people, and I immediately feel like a pink rabbit with a lot of energy, and I am nervous and busy to prepare.
