Liao Qiuli followed behind, secretly thinking, this Chinese New Year's Eve, the sisters should go back with their husband's family, why did the third sister come home with the child, don't something happen?

Later, I learned that I came by the way, and the third brother-in-law bought a new batch of Shu brocade, rare goods, taking advantage of today's complete foreign population, I simply came over before going home, and gave the things before leaving.

General Xiao and the little chubby girl broke their mouths for a while, gave her two bags of figs and two bags of rabbit candy, and the two sides fought hotly, and the little chubby girl didn't bite and didn't let go, so she changed her path and wanted to do business with General Xiao, "I still want a bag of bear cakes!" ”

"I ate too many toothworms in sugar cakes, and my mouth was full of rotten teeth, and I still have a toothache!"

"I can buy it with you, I have New Year's money, you see, seven big coins!" The little boy pulled money out of the bag around his neck, looking like he was rich.

"I don't want money, I also have what you have, I gave you so much sugar, go back and your uncle should read me, and then give it, isn't that looking for scolding?"

The little kid said that he was nothing, and he was silent for a long time, and sobbed and said, "I want to eat sugar candy!" I still want to eat cakes! My father and mother won't let me eat it! ”

Liao Qiuli just came out of the main hall, and saw the little chubby girl who was twitching at a glance, walked a few steps forward, picked up the little chubby girl who pretended to cry and pretended to be very engaged, and then went in, and threw a word to General Xiao, who couldn't figure out the situation: "How old are they?!" I can't coax a child!! ”。 The few tears in the corners of the little chubby girl's eyes had already been collected, and she lay on Liao Qiuli's shoulder and grinned at him-he! Live-deserved! Who told you not to give me a pie!

General Xiao: "......"

Dare to love this is a good pit!

What about the pit that is done, is it possible to worry about a child?!

What's more, this bear kid patted his ass and left after a while!

In the face of the bear child who has become a fine, General Xiao can't complain too much.

Entering the main hall to see, the father-in-law's family to welcome the "son-in-law" has been set up, full of special, several brothers-in-law sitting in the main hall, see the newcomer come in, first serve wine, then serve tea, the wine is full of stamina spirits, the bowl is a large mouth deep sea bowl, four bowls to drink, it is good to stand firm. The four brothers-in-law settle accounts after the autumn, and if they don't accept the offer, they will admit it!

Of course, Xiao Yu had to take it, and even drank the four seas bowl of wine and the four seas of tea, his face was steady, and he couldn't help but admire those eunuchs who practiced holding and urine as a "basic skill".

Liao Qiuli was called in by his mother, and he couldn't get out for a while. Xiao Yu thought, since he returned to the "foreign home", of course he had to talk to his uncles and brothers, and if he couldn't talk about the political affairs of the court, he would talk about the customs of the border city, and talk about the business of the Liao family by the way. These people are quite able to talk, from morning to noon, had lunch, rested for a while, the Liao family sacrificed the stove, pasted the Spring Festival couplets, and chatted again. The children couldn't stay idle, and at night they began to make noise about their fathers going out to set off fireworks, and Xiao Yu was able to get out.

It's all unitary time, the Qing Dynasty keeps the New Year from the beginning of the New Year, and there are certain regulations for keeping the New Year, which is different from state to county, but there is one that is certain - a family works together, wrapping buns, dumplings, and balls, and is cooked, ready to eat from the first to the third day of the new year. More than a dozen adults were divided into two tables, one table for father and son and "son-in-law", and one table for mother and concubine, talking and laughing.

The children were rolling gophers in the yard, playing with fire trees and silver flowers, banging, setting off a lot of fireworks, a little tired, just to see the adults in the main hall sitting around the table, knowing that this is about to start the New Year, throwing down the fireworks and jumping in, a little black paw sneaked out to the basin and the dough that had been reconciled, pulled out a piece, pinched and pinched, some pinched into monkeys with missing arms and legs, some pinched into squeaky dogs, some simply pinched into a lump of poop ......, pinched and secretly put it in the dustpan, Mixed in the middle of those delicate and neat dumpling buns, quickly slip away, and then stomp your feet in the yard and shout the silly music of grabbing the sky!

At the table of the mother and the concubine, there are endless trivial family matters, and there are always things to say, three women in one play, squeaky on their lips, and neat in their hands. Look at the table of father and son and son-in-law, it is somewhat not active enough, Xu emptied the words in his stomach during the day, and quietly wrapped a pot of stuffing in front of him at night. The silence of the table was so noticeable with the squeak of the table next to it.

The big pot of bread was over, and it was almost time. When the father coughed, let the men get up and prepare, and after the hai, it was the first day of the new year, and the men wanted to worship their ancestors and offer a stick of incense to their ancestors. Liao Qiuli followed his father and brothers to the ancestral hall, and Xiao Yu consciously stayed where he was and did not follow. Seeing this, the third child of the Liao family glanced at the fifth child, and the fifth child stopped and turned back to greet: "Let's go!" ”。“ Well? "General Xiao didn't know where he wanted him to go." Follow me! ”。“ Oh. ”。

The ugly daughter-in-law doesn't count when she sees her in-laws, she has to meet her ancestors together!

In fact, it is also to see, just go to the pillar incense, and you don't need to kneel three times and knock nine times.

Liao Shixiang recited words in front of the ancestral tablet, in previous years, it was a major event to talk to the ancestors about the Liao family's Taikou for a whole year, this year, in addition to official affairs, it is estimated that I have to talk about some private matters - the eldest of the Liao family's small characters has now become a family......

Although it is contrary to the normal state of the world, but people live for a lifetime, hurried like ants, if they can't even be sincere for their younger generations, what kind of father and mother can they talk about. This year is the first year of their marriage, and the kid has also come to incense the ancestors, the one standing by the door, except for the incompatibility between men and women, the rest are much stronger than the old man, and we are also climbing the door. The descendants of the unscrupulous are here to pray again, hoping that the ancestors and ancestors will be blessed by the spirit of heaven, and the Liao family will have a peaceful population next year, and they will enter and exit smoothly.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Liao Qiuli said that he wanted to go to the stove room to cook those wrapped flat food, originally there were female relatives to do this, but he said that he would come back this year, and next year according to the old rules, he should have passed in Ju'er Hutong, and he should do a little bit for his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. When everyone heard him say this, they were full of emotion for a while, and the third child of the Liao family came out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead." ”。

This beat, suddenly there is an indescribable sentimentality. The third child is half a father of the fifth, a few years of and urine, a few years of back and forth, a few years of suspense and fatigue, all over the past 30 years, this is about to get rid of it. It's so sad and touching.

Lao Wu smiled, "Isn't it just to cook a flat food, I usually cook it every day, and I don't see how you guys are, why do you want to cook it today, you look like this?" How big of a deal?! After speaking, he naturally entered the main hall and took a dustpan to eat in the stove.

Wherever Liao Qiu left, Xiao Yu's kraft candy sticked. There are several large stoves in the stove room, and there are several large steamers on the big stoves, one of them sets up firewood to burn the fire, and one person controls the fire, and they cooperate very well.

“…… For as long as I can remember, I love to stay in the stove room, especially on the night of the New Year's Eve, the family keeps the New Year, the lights in the stove room are bright, the hot water vapor in the stove room is like a cloud, with the aroma of cooked food, the fragrance of freshly beaten wheat, it smells very good...... Later, when he was five years old, he fell ill, half of his time in Yunqing Mountain, half of his time in Liao's house, and he hadn't smelled this warm smell for ten years...... Later, when I came down from Yunqing Mountain, I felt that human life was impermanent, and I loved to come to the stove room when I was most uncomfortable, as if I smelled this warm smell, and my heart was steady. ”

The water was boiling, Liao Qiuli put the flat food in the dustpan into the steamer one by one, and in the room full of steam, the lights were dim, and he said this. Xiao Yu listened quietly, he was listening to the part he didn't know, at that time they had not yet grown up, had not yet met, and had not yet known each other.

Fifteen years.

It's so long.

This person who almost died of illness when he was five years old, and was sent to Yunqing Mountain when the dead horse was a live horse doctor, must have been full of confusion at that time, afraid and puzzled, I don't know why I was born, what I am innocent of death, and in the panic, what can give him comfort, in addition to Yunqing Old Road, is only the light and water vapor of the stove room and the aroma of food.

He shrank quietly in the corner of the stove room, watching the senior brothers make a fire and cook, when they are cooked, the senior brothers will take out some for him to eat first, and the cultivators are all vegetarians, vegetarian buns, vegetarian noodles, vegetarian steamed buns, and the aroma of new wheat is unique and strong. When you give it, your eyes must be full of pity, and it is a pity for a child who does not know what will happen tomorrow today. Despite this, he survived, and during the ten years of suffering from illness, he survived by his yearning for fireworks in the world.

Xiao Yu described a lonely childhood Liao Qiuli in his heart, the heart was sour and soft, and finally stood up from the low stool, walked over silently, took the dustpan from his hand, put it aside, and then took his hand, and said quietly: "I will accompany you next year." I'm with you every year. If you want to go back to Liao's house, we'll come back next year. ”。

He was tall, and if Liao Qiuli wanted to look into his eyes and speak, he had to raise his face. He looked up at him, smiling calmly and warmly, "Next year in Ju'er Hutong, just the two of us." ”。 Xiao Yu slammed into his heart when he heard this, and then "suddenly" uncontrollably, and suddenly went straight to the "just the two of us", and he couldn't settle down for a long time. He stood in front of the stove, his sweetheart's hand swam away from his hand, he was unconscious, so he was stunned.

Steaming flat food is a particularly labor-intensive thing, and several large dustpans of flat food are steamed, and the sky is bright. In the middle of the day, the parents of each family got up and set off a long firecracker, and the family gathered around to eat a flat meal, and then dispersed, and went back to the house to rest.

General Xiao entered the house in a hurry, anxious to say something or do something, but unfortunately the sky did not follow people's wishes, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, something happened in the palace.

There is only one person in the palace who can climb Xiao Yu, of course, this person came out.

What happened to the prince, if it is placed in an ordinary person's house, it is not a matter, isn't it just a group of bear children getting together to "fight for the mother", and the bear child who has no mother to fight for is angry and pulls his arms and sleeves and beats his own half-brother? The beating is also beaten, the bear children are finished tearing themselves, and they are smoothing their own hair, maybe they will roll together and play with urine mud again in the next day. But the emperor's family is different, it is a terrible thing for the princes to fight, and if they are punished for fighting, the masters can't run away, and they inevitably bring them over to teach them a lesson. The official is like seeing a fishy fly, buzzing and buzzing, and it will start to break on the first day of the new year, and no one wants to stop!
