Place the door pine at the entrance, post the Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the door, light incense and candles to worship the ancestors, and hang the ornaments at the door......

Although in the morning, Gu Xue and Gu Rou behaved very leisurely.

But in the Huaya country where Gu Xue is located, there are actually quite a lot of New Year's customs.

It's cumbersome and cumbersome.

It's like the New Year's customs of two places are mixed together......

In addition to the ceremonial aspect of the mix.

The diet is similar, and you have to eat soba noodles and dumplings during the Chinese New Year...... You can prepare a hearty dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, or you can be lazy and eat the New Year's dishes prepared in advance. In the evening, there are singing evenings such as the Red and White Song Battle, and there are also comprehensive evenings such as the Spring Festival Gala, which are quite large, but the former is a regional party, while the latter is a national party.

When Gu Xue first came to this world, in the face of this situation, she always felt that she was still in the island country for the New Year one second, and she would return to China for the New Year the next second......

It's really very uncomfortable.

It's much better now, though.

After so many years, Gu Xue has long since truly integrated into this world.

And, most importantly.

As far as the two sisters celebrate the New Year, Gu Rou is mainly busy...... Gu Xue is generally only responsible for playing and talking to Gu Rou next to her, how cumbersome it is for her to be a matter for a while, and there are a lot of delicious foods for the New Year, she is not dissatisfied, of course it doesn't matter......

After sending Yujing Yao away.

Gu Rou began to get busy.

Gu Xue followed behind her, helping when she should help, and playing with her mobile phone when she should be lazy.

It took a lot of time to walk down a set of New Year's rituals.

When everything was done, it was almost time for lunch.

But.

Because Yujing Yao came to visit in the morning, the two sisters had breakfast a little late, and they were not very hungry, and Gu Xue was tired after seeing that Gu Rou was busy, so she proposed to just forget about lunch, keep your stomach for dinner, and just find something to eat at noon to fill your stomach.

After Gu Rou repeatedly confirmed that Gu Xue was not hungry, she agreed.

The two sisters had some discussion.

At last.

I moved out of the long-awaited kotatsu table and ate oranges in the living room......

……

Family.

Living room.

Gu Xue was lying on the bedside with her upper body lying on the stove table, feeling warm all over, although she was still looking at her phone, she wanted to sleep a little.

Gu Rou, who was sitting next to her, was writing hard to write greeting cards, and she didn't let herself be idle for a moment.

"Sister, do you still have greeting cards for the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Xue yawned, she was really a little sleepy, in order not to let herself fall asleep, she forced herself to straighten up and talk to Gu Rou.

"Well, although no one seems to have sent it recently, the older generation still likes this, they think that mobile phone text messages, phone greetings, are all soulless, so if you greet some old people, it is more appropriate to send a greeting card in the past."

Gu Rou raised her head and explained with a smile.

"That's ......" Gu Xue responded, took a few greeting cards she had written, looked at them a few times, and after roughly understanding the routine, she also picked up the pen and lowered her head to write.

Of course, it was Gu Rou's tone and name that was used.

Gu Rou looked at Gu Xue and wrote, and persuaded: "I can come by myself, don't force yourself, just send one to the old people in my hometown who took care of us when we were young, there are not many people." ”

Gu Xue didn't listen to the advice, and said with a bitter face: "Let me write, I'm about to fall asleep......"

Now Gu Xue wants to find a sand sculpture netizen to relax, and she can see the discussion about the speed of five centimeters per second and the words of scolding herself...... She doesn't even want to open Twitter now, as for new movies and TV series, she and Gu Rou have watched enough in the past few days, and it's really boring.

Gu Rou heard Gu Xue's words, put down her pen, reached out and rubbed her head: "You can ask Mihara Qiansha to come over and play, didn't I promise you at the door?" Why didn't it call? ”

When Gu Xue heard this, she was not calm, she raised her head and joked: "Because I have been messing up and giving up." ”

"Poof...... Gu Rou couldn't help laughing, she grabbed Gu Xue's neck and pulled her into her arms, "Is this awkward?" ”

Gu Xue adjusted her posture, lay directly in Gu Rou's arms, and replied, "How can there be." ”

"You don't look like that."

Gu Xue explained: "It's really not, we can call Miss Mihara to come over for dinner later, and then go to worship together, after all, she is here alone, and it is really hard." But now, even if it's over, she probably has to prepare, huh...... For example, if you talk to your parents in your hometown on the phone or something, and come to our house too early, it is estimated that she will be very uncomfortable. ”

“……”

After listening to Gu Xue's words, Gu Rou was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched her forehead.

"What." Gu Xue knocked her hand off and glared at her angrily.

"It's not like my sister." Gu Rou was really a little worried.

"I originally decided to call her over at night, just to tell you in the morning, during the day, I would have decided to accompany you, what is it."

“…… It's true? ”

"Of course." Gu Xue nodded, and said angrily: "After all, you still said in the morning that I had abandoned the whole thing and wanted other women, and when you finally promised that I could eat with more than one person, I was still very reluctant, and I sighed secretly, I found out, if I still call someone to come to the house early, am I still human......

Gu Rou: "How can I have it." ”

"As long as you admit to sighing, I won't call Miss Mihara."

Gu Rou: "......"

"Look! Silence! ”

Gu Rou: "......"

"Sister."

Gu Xue sighed, sat up, looked at Gu Rou's eyes, and said softly, "I don't know what contradiction you have with Miss Sanyuan...... But I guess it's related to me, but Miss Mihara really doesn't have anything to do with me......"

"Am I jealous?" Gu Rou smiled, "I think she robbed my sister like this." ”

Gu Xue: "...... Grab your head! You and she are not ...... at all I don't even know what to say, you're my sister, she's my friend, what's the comparison? Is there such a thing as snatching? ”

"You don't understand." Gu Rou stretched out her hand, pressed Gu Xue's cheek, and rubbed it vigorously, "Okay, I'm sighing, but it's not because there are more people in the New Year, I don't care if you're happy with a hundred more people, it's just, it's just...... Nothing, you don't understand anyway. ”

"Uh-huh......"

Gu Xue wanted to refute, but her face was crumpled and deformed, and she was completely speechless.

Gu Rou played for a while before letting go of Gu Xue's face and said, "Okay, now I don't have a big opinion of her, you can call it, I promise to make her feel at home." ”

"Feel at home like this?" Gu Xue rubbed her face and glared at her.

Gu Rou hugged her, shook her lightly from side to side, and said happily: "You are my sister, bin what a bin, and what you said, you belong to me during the day today." ”

"It's with you, what does it mean to belong to you...... Forget it, I don't bother with you, go to the toilet, your legs are pressing me, lift up! Gu Xue didn't bother to ask, as long as Gu Rou didn't want to say, she couldn't ask anything, she was sure of this.

"Wait for me to come back and write greeting cards with you, finish writing early, and play early!"

Gu Xue supported the floor with her hands, sat up, and said as she walked in the direction of the toilet.

"Yes~"

Gu Rou responded and picked up the pen again.

……

Gu Xue looked down at her phone and came to the toilet.

Coincidentally.

As soon as she closed the toilet door, her cell phone rang and someone called.

After being harassed by the person who wanted to buy the copyright in the morning, Gu Xue set her mobile phone to an unfamiliar number and refused to answer it directly, so it was obvious that the caller was an acquaintance.

A very unexpected acquaintance.

Gu Xue looked at the caller's name, a little entangled.

But the tangle is the tangle.

Eventually, she picked up the phone.

"Hey, Xiaoxue...... Happy New Year. As soon as the phone was answered, the person on the other end of the phone expressed his blessing in a slightly nervous voice.

"Hmm......" Gu Xue responded, thought about it, and added the title, "Father." ”

"Hehehe......"

Gu Xiao on the other end of the phone laughed instantly, but the laughter was ...... Well, it's kind of scary.

Gu Xue: "......"

"Ahem...... You and your sister...... How's it going over there? Is the Chinese New Year okay? ”

After laughing for a while, Gu Xiao himself felt that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped laughing and changed the topic.

"Okay."

"It's okay...... Your aunt and uncle miss you very much, I ...... Well, they miss you all too much. ”

“……”

Gu Xue thought about it a little, and barely remembered the aunt and uncle in Gu Xiao's mouth, her hometown is in the countryside, and the Chinese New Year is very grand, and the whole family will go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors.

Maybe it's for this reason that Gu Xiao brought this up......

Well, Gu Xue's family, his real home, used to be a landlord......

It is the kind of landlord in the traditional sense, who is making grain, and his family background is solid, and it is smooth sailing, and it is passed down from generation to generation, and it is getting bigger and bigger. After it was passed to Gu Xiao's hands, it reached a very terrifying point, because Gu Xiao has business acumen, knows how to be flexible, directly makes his own food, and controls the downstream in his own hands......

Every time Gu Xue goes to a convenience store or supermarket or something like that, she can see that familiar trademark, including drinks, bento, snacks, ready-to-eat products, etc., and it's not just limited to this city, almost every city can see that trademark......

In a sense, Gu Xue is indeed the stupid daughter of the landlord's family......

It is precisely because the family background is getting more and more solid, and it is becoming more and more important to tradition, Gu Xiao now asks all kinds of relatives to return to their hometown every year to participate in ancestor worship and celebrate the New Year together, which is very grand.

Of course, now these have nothing to do with the two sisters who 'ran away from home'.

"Well, I see......" Gu Xue replied casually.

Although it is said that it is an aunt and an uncle, Gu Xue is not so close to these relatives, and Gu Rou is better in this regard.

"Hmm."

Gu Xiao also responded.

Then there was a long silence.

Don't know what to say.

Gu Xiao wanted to talk to his daughter, but he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't find a topic.

"Happy New Year to you, too."

Gu Xue waited for a while, and found that Gu Xiao was still silent, so she said a polite word and was ready to hang up.

"Hmm...... By the way, Xiaoxue, will you go to worship with your sister at night? ”

Gu Xiao heard that Gu Xue wanted to hang up the phone, and finally thought of a topic.

Or rather, he finally told his true purpose.

Gu Xue leaned against the door and did not hide: "I will go." ”

"Which shrine will you go to?" Gu Xiao immediately asked, very excited, "Is it the shrine in the annex?" ”

Gu Xue: "......"
