Chapter 52: Everyday

"Xiaoyuan...."When Guan Yuan woke up, he felt the warm breath on the back of his neck, and then he felt a soft touch, Guan Yuan stiffened at first, and then relaxed his body.

Zhao Shenggu hugged Guan Yuan, and the two crossed their necks. The two of them didn't say anything, but the air seemed to be drowning. Guan Yuan thought of two words: entanglement of necks, grinding of ears and temples, entanglement for a lifetime, grinding for a lifetime.

"Xiaoyuan...."Zhao Shenggu's lazy voice came from the back of Guan Yuan's neck.

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, I just want to call you!"

"Hehehe...," Guan Yuan laughed sullenly.

The two talked for a long time in bed before they got up.

Tomorrow is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and Guan Jiatun is busy preparing for the New Year. When Guan Yuan opened the door, he smelled the fragrance of croquettes from someone else's house.

A few days ago, many people in Guan Yuan's family sent things, all of which were specialties of their respective families. So this year, even if they don't buy anything, it's enough.

The breakfast for the two is very simple, Guan Yuan likes to eat lighter, Zhao Shenggu boiled a pot of thick millet porridge, with his special side dishes, crisp and refreshing, Guan Yuan ate very comfortably.

Guan Yuan finished drinking a bowl of millet porridge and was about to put down the dishes and chopsticks, when Zhao Shenggu suddenly said: "Wait a minute." After speaking, he rubbed his fingers on the corners of Guan Yuan's mouth.

"There's a grain of rice in the corner of your mouth." Although Zhao Shenggu said this, he didn't put his hand down. Gently stroked Guan Yuan's chin with his fingers, and looked at Guan Yuan fixedly.

Guan Yuan looked at Zhao Shenggu's blazing eyes, and seemed to be attracted by a whirlpool, and the two looked at each other like this, without moving for a long time.

"Boss, you're playing this game again, what's so fun?" Guan Shi suddenly jumped out, startling Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu.

"Ahem" Guan Yuan coughed, "Why did you get in?" I don't squeak, I want to scare people to death!"

Guan Shi scratched his head: "The courtyard door is not closed, I came in directly, it wasn't like this before." Besides, I started calling people in the yard, but no one answered, and I thought there was no one! ”

"Uh..." Guan Yuan had nothing to say, the tips of his ears felt as if there was a fire burning, he secretly glanced at Zhao Shenggu and found that his ears were also red, Guan Yuan laughed in his heart.

Zhao Shenggu asked Guan Shi with a calm face: "Why are you here?" ”

Guan Shi looked at Zhao Shenggu, who seemed to be angry, and didn't know where he had provoked him, "I'm just here to play, Brother Shenggu, why are you so angry?" ”

Of course, Guan Yuan knew what was going on, and burst out laughing.

Zhao Shenggu glared at Guan Shi, put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and went to the kitchen.

Monk Guan Shizhang was puzzled: "I didn't mess with him?" Guan Yuan was amused again.

"Boss, my mother said to let you go to my house for dinner at noon today, my family killed pigs." Guan Shi couldn't figure out why Zhao Shenggu was angry, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Li Ying knew that Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu would definitely spend the two of them together on Chinese New Year's Eve, so he didn't plan to call them to dinner, but the pig killing banquet couldn't miss Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu.

"Oh, okay, we'll go later."

Guan Shi brought the words, and after Guan Yuan's reply, he left in a hurry, and he had to go back to the town as soon as possible, otherwise his little brother on his side would be pressed and beaten.

Guan Yuan saw Guan Shi running away like a ghost, and shook his head: "This kid! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shenggu was finishing cleaning up the kitchen and coming out.

"Aunt Li Ying asked us to eat pig-killing dishes at noon, and I have already agreed."

"Well, then go ahead and wait for me to clean up the yard." It's snowing heavily these days, and if the snow in the yard isn't removed, it won't even be able to open the door.

"I'll do it too." Guan Yuan put on gloves, took the iron catalpa, and prepared to remove the snow with Zhao Shenggu.

"No, you just bake a fire in the house, and I'll get rid of this little snow in a while." Zhao Shenggu pushed Guan Yuan into the house.

Guan Yuan pouted: "But I want to remove the snow with you." ”

"Ah, okay." Zhao Shenggu was looked at by Guan Yuan for a while, and then he was completely immune, and he agreed in a daze.

"Hehe...."Guan Yuan touched his chin, it seems that this little face is still quite attractive.

"What are you laughing at, come here." Zhao Shenggu saw Guan Yuan smirking there alone, and said loudly.

"Oh, got it."

The two of them said that they were removing the snow, but it was better to say that they were playing, you threw me, I threw you, the work efficiency was greatly reduced, and there was so much snow in the yard that it didn't finish for two hours.

When Guan Guo came, the two were having a snowball fight, "You are still playing snowball fights, your aunt saw that you haven't come yet, so she asked me to come and see, is the snow in the yard to be removed, I'll help." ”

Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu realized that so much time had passed, and it seemed that they would have to be restrained in the future, otherwise they wouldn't have to do anything serious when they were tired of being together.

It didn't take Guan Guo a while to sweep all the snow out of the yard, and Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu also packed up and followed Guan Guo to his house.

By the time I arrived in the country, there were already a lot of people who came to eat pig-killing vegetables.

Now almost every household in Guanjiatun raises pigs, even if they don't raise them, they will buy one during the New Year, so there are many people who come to eat pig-killing vegetables.

As soon as Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu entered the courtyard, they were warmly greeted by these people.

"Shenggu, Xiaoyuan, come and sit here, it's cold outside." The village chief greeted him in the house.

Zhao Shenggu took Guan Yuan to sit next to the village chief.

Naturally, some people who work in the "Far Valley" are very enthusiastic about them, and those who do not work in the "Far Valley" also hope to be selected when they are recruited again, and they inevitably flattered them a little when they speak.

Zhao Shenggu coped easily with this group of men, and the things he didn't want to say were lightly diverted from the topic, and he saw that he was talking to these people very seriously, and in private, he was holding Guan Yuan's small hand in the palm of his hand and playing with it.

Zhao Shenggu's palm was dry and warm, and even Guan Yuan's hand was warm, just like his heart softened into a pool of spring water.

The noise around was gone, Guan Yuan only had Zhao Shenggu in his heart, looking at Zhao Shenggu's eyebrows, thinking that such an excellent person really belonged to him, the tips of his ears were red again.

Zhao Shenggu glanced at Guan Yuan from time to time, and saw that his ears were red when he saw him, and there was a strong smile in his eyes, and he touched Guan Yuan's ears quietly.

Guan Yuan's body stiffened and buried his head in Zhao Shenggu's arms.

A man next to him said loudly: "Isn't Xiao Yuanmo sick?" Why is your face so red! ”

Zhao Shenggu laughed: "Uncle, it's okay, it may be that so many people are together, it's hot." ”

"Yes, haha, Guan Guo, your house is good, you don't need to bake the fire when you sit in winter."

Taking advantage of the gap between their words, Zhao Shenggu buried his head and whispered in Guan Yuan's ear: "I'm shy again!" After saying that, his lips still rubbed against his ears.

Guan Yuan felt that his whole body was red now.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the meal to be ready.

Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were arranged to share a table with the village chief, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

Everything was very lively here, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were about to leave, but at this time, an abrupt voice sounded: "Okay, boss, your family eats and drinks spicy food, and even the old lady and son don't care." ”

The one who came in was an old lady who was over half a hundred years old, and Yang Xiucui was different from Yang Xiucui, this old lady was very thin, but she looked very energetic, this is Guan Guo's mother.

Guan Guo never imagined that his mother would make trouble in front of so many people: "Mother, my mother and I went to invite you yesterday, but you can't say it yourself." ”

The old lady snorted: "If I can't come, I won't come, and you don't know how to invite again, so I will say that you didn't sincerely invite us to come, and you won't try it out this time!" ”

Guan Yuan was speechless, what kind of truth is this, his son and daughter-in-law are going to invite them to eat pig-killing dishes, and they have to test it, this is simple!

Guan Guo's face turned red, "Mother, what are you talking about, why aren't we sincere!" Aren't you going to give you meat! ”

When the old lady heard this, her elongated face eased slightly, "It's about the same, I don't want more, just give three hundred catties is enough." ”

"What!" Li Ying was originally in the back kitchen with a few women cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she heard the commotion in front of her, she wanted to come out to take a look, but she didn't expect to hear her mother-in-law's words as soon as she came out.

The people around also took a breath, mother, a pig is only more than 200 catties in total, this old lady is not enough for a whole pig.

When the old lady saw Li Ying, she subconsciously took two steps back, but she thought that she had Li Ying's handle in her hand, so she moved her steps forward two more steps, "What, I said that it is enough to give me 300 catties of meat." ”

Li Ying looked at her mother-in-law with a calm face: "Old lady, you don't have to panic when you say this, we send you meat and money every year, you always pick your nose and eyes at us, his second uncle didn't take anything, and beware of the liver baby hurting, my family Guan Guo is not your own son, is it?" ”

The old lady snorted: "The second child's family is in difficulty, how can you compare to the two of you who can make money, why not give more?" ”

Li Yingqi's eyes were red: "Let's call it more, I'm afraid that you won't be happy to move this home to you!" As soon as you open your mouth, you will need 300 catties of pork, folks, listen, is this what an old man would say? ”

"That's it, auntie, Guan Guo is enough, didn't they just pull a cart of things for you a few days ago, the family is just such a pig, all for you, what do they eat? Besides, can you two eat so much? ”

"It's just..."

The old lady saw that everyone didn't help her speak, and she was angry and anxious, and said loudly: "Folks, don't be deceived by her, she is used to being a good person in front of people." There is more than a little leakage between their fingers, and besides, this woman is so cruel to us, it is because she cares about her mother's family, my stupid son, your daughter-in-law is about to empty the whole house, and you are still in the dark! ”

Li Ying's face was blue and white, she did subsidize some of her mother's family in private, and it was inevitable that she would be weak-hearted.

Guan Guowen said angrily: "My daughter-in-law has told me everything she has given to her, and the old people on both sides are as filial as us." ”

"His father...."Li Ying looked up at Guan Guo fiercely, his eyes full of tears.

Guan Yuan Lala Zhao Shenggu: "Brother, let's go." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Shenggu pulled Guan Yuan and nodded to Guan Guo and left.

"Hey, there are really all kinds of life in this world, there are old people like the third grandmother who wronged themselves to fulfill their sons, and there are also old people like Uncle Guan Guo's mother who forced her son to death with eccentric eyes." Guan Yuan was carried by Zhao Shenggu and sighed.

Zhao Shenggu couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say old-fashioned words in a tender voice.

Guan Yuan was unhappy: "Brother, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Well, it's nothing, it's just happy." Zhao Shenggu sneered.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, so you have to prepare. Even if the house is usually cleaned, at this time there must be a thorough cleaning, as well as Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, these can be pasted.

Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu wore hats and masks and cleaned up the whole house, but because they were usually cleaned, it didn't take much effort.

After the Spring Festival lanterns were made, the whole yard immediately had a festive color.

In the evening, when Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were cooking in the kitchen, Li Ying delivered the dishes.

"This is the hoof I specially picked out, and I can use this to eat at night," Li Ying put the hoof and basin on the stove and said to Zhao Shenggu.

Guan Yuan saw that her expression was quite calm, and there should be nothing wrong.

"Thank you, auntie, where can I send it in person, I have eaten very well at noon." Zhao Shenggu said a polite word.

Li Ying smiled, "A little pork, it's not a valuable thing, you are the great benefactor to us, okay, I'll go first." ”

Guan Yuan looked at Li Ying, who was leaving, and asked Zhao Shenggu: "Brother, what do you mean by her?" ”

"What do you mean! Don't be foolish, come, help me get that bowl. ”

"Oh"

Soon it was the first day of the first lunar month, and the New Year's flavor of the Guan family hoarding was very strong, and it happened that there was a rare sun on this day, and many men gathered in the tanning field to play cards.

Women are talking on the sidelines, and when life is better, these women will be more fed than clothed and more children. When it comes to money, Guan Guo and Li Ying earn the most money in Guanjiatun.

But compared to children, Wu Xiuli is 10,000 proud. Guan Mumu often takes the first place in the class, and Wu Xiuli often shows off in front of Li Ying.

The two sat together and started again, Wu Xiuli: "Our Mumu's head is with me, but I am smart, and I will be admitted to a good university and become a national cadre in the future." ”

Guan Shi's grades are all Li Ying's heart disease, where can he withstand Wu Xiuli's excitement, "The child is really good, it's a pity that there is a sloppy mother." ”

"You...."

"What's the matter? Am I not right? Li Ying glanced Wu Xiuli up and down, with a bright dislike in her eyes.

Wu Xiuli's chest hurt by her eyes: "Where am I sloppy, I sue you, now I love to be clean more than you, you can go and see my house!" ”

Wu Xiuli is indeed much better now than before, at least the house will be cleaned up, and the dishes will not be washed again after the second meal, mainly because she is afraid that Guan Mumu will be ridiculed in the city.

"What am I doing at your house, I'm full!" Li Ying knocked a melon seed, and it was not a matter of fact.

Guan Mumu was playing with Guan Shishi on the side, but when he saw that his mother was about to quarrel with Aunt Li, he hurriedly came to extinguish the fire: "Mom, Aunt Li, what are you talking about?" Aunt Li, can I go to Xiaoyuan with the stone later? ”

Li Ying looked at Guan Mumu's well-behaved appearance, and suddenly her heart melted, "Of course you can, you can go." ”

Guan Shi was unhappy: "What are you going to do with them, Brother Shenggu has been eating gunpowder recently, so I won't go!" ”

Guan Mumu glared at him, and Guan Shishi stopped talking.

When Guan Mumu left, he took his mother away again, so as not to quarrel with Aunt Li again.

Li Ying looked at the distant backs of the mother and son, and muttered to herself: "My son is so cute, but my mother is so annoying!" She didn't know that her relationship with Wu Xiuli would be much more than that in the future.

So just as Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were basking in the sun in the courtyard, Guan Mumu and Guan Shi came.

Guan Yuan frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”

Guan Mumu covered his mouth and smiled: "Come and play with you." "Recently, he has been changing his teeth, and he always likes to cover his mouth when he speaks, which is completely different from the big grin of Guan Shi's tonsils when he smiles.

The world of the two was disturbed, Guan Yuan snorted.

"What are you playing, we don't have much fun here." Guan Yuan leaned on Zhao Shenggu's body and said lazily with squinted eyes.

"Let's play cards, I have money here." Guan Shi took out a large handful of change from his purse.

"But I don't have any money." Guan Mumu felt his empty pockets.

"It's okay, I've got it here." Guan Shi hurriedly grabbed half of the money and stuffed it into Guan Mumu's pocket.

"Okay." Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Guan Yuan agreed to Guan Shi's suggestion.

Half an hour later, Guan Shi's card skills made Guan Yuan stunned.

"You don't hide from playing cards every day, do you?" Guan Yuan asked in surprise.

Guan Shi smirked: "Can the master's card skills be practiced, this is innate." ”

Looking at the pile of money in front of Guan Shi, Guan Yuan's eyes were red, and Zhao Shenggu looked funny: "Okay, let's stop fighting, it's time for lunch." ”

Guan Shi screamed: "Don't, I haven't won enough!" ”

"You still want to win enough, if I tell Aunt Li about how to play cards, see if she doesn't reward you with a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots." Guan Yuan threatened him.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Li Ying, Guan Shi was stunned, but soon became happy again: "My mother won't care about me during the New Year!" ”

"Then it's over the New Year."

"After the New Year, my mother must be on a par with my milk." Guan Shi said proudly.

"Oh, what's going on?" Guan Yuan asked with interest.

Guan Shi pouted, "It's not that my grandmother asked us for meat, my dad and my mom didn't agree, now it's because of the New Year, and there will be trouble after the New Year." ”

"How do you know?" Guan Yuan didn't believe that Guan Shi's big temperament would care about this.

"When my mom was talking to my dad, I overheard me." Really.

"And what are your mom and dad going to do?" Guan Yuan was ready to listen to the gossip.

"My mother said that this death will not make my milk happy, anyway, the meat is given to my grandmother and grandfather, and they will also use it to supplement the second uncle."
