In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.
New Year, what a beautiful word, only two words, contains the wanderer's endless thoughts, the yearning for his hometown, the old mother at home, the New Year, is a new beginning of the year, after this day, on behalf of you into a new trip, a new beginning, all the bad luck in the past, all the misfortune, will begin to leave you on this day.
The New Year is a day that every family and every person yearns for, on this day, we can play to our heart's content, eat to our heart's content, vent ourselves, and only on this day, we can peel off the shell we put on our bodies and be our true selves.
The firecrackers exploded, disturbing the spring color outside the window, three or two branches began to emerge a little shoots, it is difficult to see without looking carefully, after a winter cold wind, blowing their branches dry, blowing down their green, this day, this season, they will emerge their green shoots again, and begin to rebirth.
"Young master, you can't wear that dress today, you have to wear this, young master, why don't you listen to the slave? That dress can't be worn today, it really can't be worn. ”
"Young master, hurry up and change it, you can wear that dress whenever you want, you can't wear it today, hurry up and change into this dress."
"Young master, don't run away, can you put on this dress? Madame saw it, but she would say young master. ”
"Young Master......."
Li Zhou had already dressed early, put on a dress he liked, and was ready to go out, but as a result, he was one step away from being blocked in front of the door by Ke'er, and he was not allowed to go out, saying that he couldn't wear that dress, he must wear the red, green, and green clothes in her hand, although it was very fashionable, but Li Zhou didn't like that, and the weather was so cold, let him change his clothes, wasn't this torturing him?
Of course, Li Zhou didn't do it anymore, so there was this scene, Li Zhou kept looking for opportunities to go out, and before he could step out of the door half a step, he was caught by Ke'er, and he had no choice but to return to the room, several times, Ke'er was stubborn with him today, and if he didn't put on clothes, he wouldn't let him out.
"Ke'er, can you let the young master and me go out, it's not easy for the young master to celebrate the New Year, you see, the clothes are all dressed, on such a cold day, you can't let the young master and me freeze, right?" If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one, and I don't believe you won't let me out.
Ke'er shook her head desperately, but she didn't give it, blocking the door, Li Zhou continued: "Ke'er, be obedient, you give the young master and me out, and in a few days, the young master will take you to eat delicious food, how about it?" ”
If it's soft, then temptation, let it be affectionate, and tempt it, but it's a pity that Li Zhou underestimated Ke'er's stubbornness, shook his head desperately, don't wear this dress, don't think about going out today, Li Zhou has no choice, it's not good.
"Kerr, do you really want to do this? What exactly is important about this dress? If you have to put it on, young master, I will ...... it. ”
When Li Zhou continued to persuade, Wanrong came over, and when she heard the quarrel here, she came in and glanced at Li Zhou, and then looked at the clothes in Ke'er's hand, and immediately understood the reason for the matter.
"Husband, just listen to Ke'er, put on this dress."
"Yes, husband, you can just put it on, what's so difficult about this." Cao Wanrong followed and dissuaded, the husband on the left and the husband on the right, all of them dissuaded Li Zhou, not Ke'er, it was obvious that they were on the same front, and they were unanimous to the outside world, pointing the finger at Li Zhou.
Cao Wanrong's title has also changed, and she is called husband with Zhao Wanshuang, after so many days in the house, she gradually changed her title under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Ke'er and Li Zhou, as well as Zhao Wanshuang, Li Zhou is also ready to let her enter the door, no matter how she objects, the second lady in Li Zhou's house is her, and the housekeepers are very powerful, and they will call the second lady the next day.
And Ke'er, naturally, is one step back, but her status, in the palace, in Li Zhou's heart, no one can replace her, several women get along harmoniously, some talk and laugh, Li Zhou is very satisfied, at this moment, they want to treat themselves like this, I .......
"Husband, you'll listen to Ke'er today, okay?" Cao Wanrong came over and grabbed Li Zhou's arm, Zhao Wanshuang instantly knew her thoughts, grabbed Li Zhou, one on the left and the other on the right, clamped Li Zhou, and motioned for Ke'er to come up and change clothes.
Li Zhou wanted to struggle, desperately resisted, Wanrong said a word in his ear, he didn't struggle, let Ke'er put it on him, he felt very guilty about Ke'er in his heart, he didn't think that Ke'er had done so much for himself, he personally made clothes for him, as well as shoes, and the clothes on his body were prepared by several of them together, the two ladies were not very good at these, almost all of them were completed by Ke'er, of course, the ignorant Qing'er is also a good hand.
After putting on their clothes, the two ladies walked out with a smile, preparing for today's affairs, Qing'er walked away very interestingly, leaving Li Zhou and Ke'er, Ke'er carefully helped Li Zhou sort out his clothes, there were still a little scars on his little hands, and the wounds that had been pricked by needles were not very obvious, but they deeply pierced Li Zhou's heart, the heart and liver, beating rapidly, red silk gradually appeared in the eye sockets, and tears soaked the eye sockets.
With both hands, hugging Ke'er's petite body, and sniffing the mesmerizing breath on her body, Li Zhou said in his hoarse voice: "Ke'er, don't do this next time, our family doesn't have no money, do we need you to do this kind of thing?" Look at your hands, what has become of them, good hands, but to do this kind of thing, don't you know that you do this, young master, my heart hurts? ”
Holding those little hands, one by one the needle puncture wounds, on that little hand, the small needle holes, the wounds that are not deep, Li Zhou is even more uncomfortable in his heart, and angrily reprimanded: "Next time, you can't do this, you know?" ”
"Yes."
Ke'er nodded lightly and continued to sort out Li Zhou's clothes, Li Zhou grabbed her hand, didn't move her, hugged her again, and said affectionately: "Remember, don't do this next time, if you do this again, young master, I'm angry, you know?" ”
"Hmm."
"You, you, the young master doesn't know how to say hello, we have so much silver in our house, you don't need to do these rough jobs, can't you just let people outside do it? If you have to do this, the young master looked at your hand, and felt as if his heart was tugging, next time I really won't be allowed to do this, you know? ”
Li Zhou touched the little hands, it takes a stitch and a thread to make a piece of clothing, working day and night, just the clothes on the body, I don't know how many days and nights it took to make it, and the shoes, it is a rough job, if you are not careful, there will be many wounds on your hands, wear it on your body, Li Zhou hurts in her heart, that kind of pain, indescribable, indescribable, is a pain that runs through the heart.
"Okay, young master, I won't talk about you, your little girl must be complaining in her heart that the young master is verbose, let's go out to eat."
"Yes."
The two came to the hall together, and today's meal had been prepared in the hall, three colors and one soup, a bowl of rice, no more, no less, today is the first day of the new year, no meat, only fasting.
Li Zhou and Ke'er sat down, the eldest lady Zhao Wanshuang, the second lady Cao Wanrong, and our ignorant Qing'er, smiled and watched the two of them come in, Ke'er sat down with a blushing face, and sat opposite Li Zhou, Ximen Beitian's side, Ximen Beitian sat there quietly, glanced at the smiles around him, and the family had a reunion dinner together, although it was not rich, but it was already very satisfied.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten so many people, every year she was either alone, or with her brother and master, but since that day, she didn't seem to have had a good year, or even a New Year.
At this moment, this situation is very satisfying.
"Maybe that's the life I want, right?"
I can't help but ask myself, is this what I have experienced, endured, and ignored in the past is this feeling, this emotion?
"Okay, don't think about it, it's rare to sit together, it's been a long time since it's been so lively, come, let's eat, eat."
Li Zhou saw that they didn't move their chopsticks, everyone sat there in a dementia, as if they were recalling the past, and at this moment, the atmosphere became depressed, and he hurriedly said: "You guys, what do you think about the New Year?" Eat, eat. ”
Li Zhou stood up, sandwiched the dishes for everyone, and said while sandwiching: "Eat more, today is a good day, you can't be unhappy." ”
A few people followed and moved their chopsticks, Ke'er ate with his head bored and ate quickly, Qing'er ignored them and ate his own, only when he was full did he have the strength to play, what was the use of being sad? It's better to eat an extra bowl of rice, Zhao Wanshuang Sven eats, swallows slowly, swallows, picks up vegetables, eats, and moves in an atmospheric manner, but the eating is a little slower, Cao Wanrong is eating in a trance, this scene has not been passed for a long time.
The only thing that didn't move was Ximen Bei, sitting there, raising chopsticks, not eating, not picking vegetables, sitting there, Li Zhou gave her some dishes again, and said, "Ximen, don't be in a daze, let's eat." ”
"Yes."
Ximenbei slowly came back to his senses, looked at the dishes in the bowl, filled his heart with sorrow and moved his chopsticks, one bite or two, his indifferent eyes were constantly moved, the tears in his heart collapsed into a mess, and he tried his best to control his trembling body.
