Chapter 12: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve
Pulling away another little blessing word from Yan's mother, Gu Cheng came to his rat cage.
Yan Wei's house is divided into three floors, the third floor is the attic, Yan Wei's residence is on the second floor, but she didn't build an exclusive passage for Gu Cheng, because Yan Wei took it down most of the time, and rarely used it to walk by herself.
Because Gu Cheng sleeps with Yan Wei directly every day, he doesn't need a rat cage, the rat cage is directly placed in the corner of the living room, and the most useful thing for Gu Cheng inside is the running wheel.
I went to take a blessing word on purpose, of course, I was going to put such a picture on my own rat cage.
didn't use "paste" to paste, Gu Cheng took the kind of sticky that can be pasted by tearing off the oiled paper, after all, it is to be pasted on top of the cage and paste...... It's almost sticky, but it's going to get dirty.
Straightening up, Gu Cheng tore off the oil paper behind the Fu word, the glued one was aimed at the cage, and with a force on his hind legs, he jumped forward, and at the same time put his two paws forward, and the Fu word was successfully pasted.
, , and smoothed out some folds with his paws, Gu Cheng looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction, ready to go to Yan's mother to get another one and see where the post is.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was halfway through, Yan Wei's voice came.
"Maruko, Maruko?"
Hearing Yan Wei's shout, Gu Cheng turned around and walked over to the place where the sound came from.
In the courtyard of the Yan family, there is also a side room, but now it is used to place sundries, and Yan's father is standing on a chair and is pasting a couplet on the door frame of the side room.
Gu Cheng walked out of the room, jumped down the cement staircase with a few light jumps, and came to Yan Wei's side.
Seeing the little hamster coming, Yan Wei asked Gu Cheng, "Maruko, I'm going to go out, will you go with me?" ”
Of course I went. Gu Cheng nodded, it is also idle at home, it is indeed not much of a mouse for pasting the word Fu, and there is not much for it to be a mouse, although I don't know what Yan Wei is going to do when she goes out, but it is not bad to go with it.
Coming out of the gate and following the stone road to the asphalt road, Yan Wei took Gu Cheng to the side of the small square, and briefly talked to Gu Cheng, so that Gu Cheng could understand the purpose of Yan Wei's outing.
Dad Yan was a little careless when he went to buy couplets, and he didn't carefully count how much he needed, but now there happens to be a door missing a couplet.
Of course, this is just a small matter that does not matter, although it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the stalls directly selling Spring Festival stickers on the side of the small square should be gone, but some shops are doing business. There should still be a sale, and Yan Wei is going to go there to buy another one.
This is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the night will be observed, the Maki Town is also full of New Year, red lanterns are hung on both sides of the road, go to the small square, supermarkets and shops on both sides, the windows are also pasted with brand new blessing characters, and the dialogue between pedestrians on the road is also happy and harmonious.
As Yan Wei expected, the stalls selling couplets really went home for the New Year, but Yan Wei has lived in Mucheng Town for more than ten years, and it is of course clear where there are still sales, so she took Gu Cheng into a small shop, chose one and went home, ready to completely handle the Spring Festival couplets.
Chinese people have the habit of wearing new clothes for the New Year, and it is worth mentioning that Gu Cheng also changed into new clothes today.
Yan Wei specially prepared for it, fiery red, the color is very bright, to be honest, Gu Cheng is actually very resistant to clothes of this color, it prefers cold colors, such as blue and white, the dress that Yan Wei prepared for it is similar to its previous one, although it is not as different as the crocodile suit and the superman suit, it looks a little ordinary, but the fiery red color can still bring people a sense of festivity.
Gu Cheng was woken up by Yan Wei early in the morning, and when he saw this dress, his first reaction was to struggle, this color was really not the style he liked.
After Yan Wei told it a bunch of festive truths that it should wear during the New Year, Gu Cheng just wanted to say: I understand the truth, but I really don't want to wear it.
Of course, in the end, Gu Cheng didn't struggle anymore under Yan Wei's expectant gaze and put on this dress.
The place where Gu Cheng is staying on Yan Wei now has changed from his coat pocket to Yan Wei's shoulder, which means that this place is still very good, not to mention anything else, at least the field of vision is much wider than in the coat pocket, and compared to being in the coat pocket, if you want to see Yan Wei, you have to raise your head, and it is undoubtedly much easier to turn your head at this time.
When I got home, I pasted the couplet I bought, and the family was almost busy, and began to make lunch at noon.
Yan Wei's grandparents passed away one after another when Yan Wei was very young, and the two old people loved Yan Wei very much when Yan Wei was a child, but now they can only think about them.
Dad Yan has a younger brother in their life, and he has already started a family, the relationship between the brothers is very good, Gu Cheng also saw Dad Yan's younger brother when Yan Wei came home from vacation, and I heard them say that it seems to be a doctor in a certain hospital, but what it is, Gu Cheng doesn't know much about it, after all, it hasn't met a few times.
Gu Cheng heard Yan Wei mention that before Yan's father made a fortune, the Yan family was actually quite difficult, Yan's father didn't continue to study, and gave the opportunity to his younger brother, so now even if they are both married, the relationship between the two brothers is still very good.
As for Yan's mother, her ancestral home is not Bincheng, but from another place, so Gu Cheng spent the first year of the rat's life as a family of four.
Now for the Spring Festival, many families go out for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but the Yan family does not have this habit, that is, they are at home, do it themselves, make a table of hearty food, and start.
Gu Cheng is not too clear about this, but he also knows that it cannot be singular, it is generally a double number, such as six, eight, ten, some homophonic numbers cannot be used.
There are only four people in the family, including Gu Cheng, and they didn't cook too much for lunch, six dishes, Yan's parents, Yan's parents, and Yan Wei were busy in the kitchen. Gu Cheng originally went in to help or something, but was sent out by Yan Wei, in Yan Wei's words, the three of us got it together, so why do we need you little hamster.
Although it felt weird to be sent out like this, Gu Cheng was also happy to relax, turned on the TV, and found a platform on the sofa to watch it with relish.
The six dishes are all home-cooked dishes, such as sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, and cold dishes like Di San Xian. It's all my own family, and I don't need to eat too high-end or anything, in the words of Yan's father, I couldn't even eat these when I was a child.
In addition to its small plate in front of Gu Cheng, Yan Wei also specially helped it take a small bowl and pour juice for it to quench its thirst, and the service can be said to be quite in place.
At lunch on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family ate happily and chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
