Chapter 269: Knocking at the Door
The car horn outside the door sounded at this time, and because tonight was a special day like the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mrs. Xiao was too lazy to open the door, and although she did not abide by the smelly rules of the New Year like everyone else, she also knew that it was not necessarily a good thing for someone to visit at this time.
According to those of the older generation, no one can come to visit the house on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if someone comes, they can't make a sound, otherwise, the fortune of the coming year will be destroyed, and even the family's health will become worse and worse because of this matter.
Although there is no scientific basis for these things, and I have never heard of anyone really getting sick because of this, it is always the words of the older generation, and the things that have been passed down from generation to generation cannot be careless, even if you don't believe it in your heart, you will still deliberately avoid it subconsciously.
Xiao Shuyi's ears have always been sensitive when they should be sensitive, and they are particularly sensitive when they shouldn't, and now is the time when they need to be sensitive, but she didn't hear it, still eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her head down, with a look of satisfaction and joy.
Maybe it's because I didn't see who came to open the door for a long time, and the car horn outside the door gradually stopped, and then I simply didn't honk, pulled the car door and got out of the car, first looked up at the little girl's bedroom on the second floor, there was no light in the room, and it gave people a sense of calm and tranquility from a distance, as if he came at the wrong time.
He looked at the brightly lit living room on the first floor again, and when he got closer, he didn't hear anyone talking, there was no New Year's atmosphere at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, could it be that he really came at the wrong time? It's not too early, but it's not too late, so you can't go to bed right now, right?
But isn't Chinese New Year's Eve all about keeping the New Year? It's not even zero yet!
But no matter how depressed and helpless he was, the living room was quiet, the only thing he could hear was the sound of cooking, Xiao Yao's eyes flashed suddenly, and when he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly stopped, looked left and right at his clothes several times, and made sure that it would not be messy before relieving himself.
Well, the parents of the woman during the New Year still need to pay attention to the appearance and image, otherwise the impression left on people will be bad, and it will be difficult to abduct other people's daughters home.
He had a lot of worries outside the door, but the mother and daughter who were eating and drinking inside the door didn't care about the movement outside the door at all, and resolutely insisted that no matter who knocked on the door at this time, they wouldn't make a sound, let alone open the door!
"Knock knock..."There were a few very rhythmic and non-rude knocks outside the door, and after a pause, he continued to knock, but I don't know if it was because he was still a little shy, even though no one came out to open the door even after knocking outside the door for a long time, Mr. Wolf didn't think to speak.
At the beginning, the mother and daughter inside the door could still ignore this disturbing and quiet magic sound, but as the knocking sound continued to come in, Xiao Shuyi could still bear it, but Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it anymore.
She put the chopsticks on the table heavily, gritting her teeth, and especially wanted to rush out to scold people with the annoyance at the moment, but the traditional habits of the New Year over the years still made her have to endure it, raised her eyebrows at her extremely calm daughter, lowered her voice and said angrily: "I'll go to the guest room to get some cotton out, do you want it?" ”
Tell the person outside the door to knock again, it doesn't matter if they can't go out before the New Year, but she still has her killer weapon - plug your ears!
But seeing that her daughter calmly drank a bowl of peanut and walnut porridge, she raised her head, wiped the corner of her mouth and put another bowl of mushroom and shrimp porridge, then she looked at her, shook her head and said, "Why are you so troublesome?" Mom, don't you have your phone with you? I remember there were also two pairs of bluetooth headphones in the room, so I went to find them. ”
It's better to listen to music than to plug your ears with cotton, right? Anyway, there is music to listen to, and it can also relieve the mood, right?
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she felt that what her daughter said was also reasonable, and this was indeed a very good way, so she immediately waved her hand and said briskly: "Okay, I'll go find it, you hurry up and drink your porridge!" You were going to eat so much spicy just now! ”
As he spoke, he looked at his daughter who was drinking with mushroom and shrimp porridge as if he was disgusted, got up and walked to the guest room.
After the mother left, she was the only one left in the living room, Xiao Shuyi was also slightly helpless and speechless in her heart, in fact, she heard the car horn outside the door, but she also knew that her mother attached great importance to the rules during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so she endured not going out to open the door.
She glanced at her mother, who was still busy rummaging through the Bluetooth headset in the guest room, and said in her heart that she really didn't do anything wrong, just like her mother's attention, if she went out to open the door just now, she would really have to finish the fun, after all, no matter how good Mr. Wolf is, he still can't have a greater impact on her than her mother!
For example, when her mother is unhappy, she can take her out of anger, cough cough, although this is not right, but when Mr. Wolf is unhappy, if he dares to use her to be angry, she must pull him into the blacklist forever, this is not the same closeness.
Xiao Yao stood at the door and knocked on the door for a long time, but still no one came out to open the door, but he clearly saw that there were people in the living room, and there were people in the guest room, so he immediately squinted his eyes, could it be that the little girl's parents refused to open the door? But why?
Even if the little girl's mother refuses to open the door, but her father knows it, not the kind of person who will embarrass people, not to mention that he didn't make a sound, he shouldn't know that the person who knocked on the door was his, right?
So, what's going on here?
He reached out and stroked his forehead, looking very helpless and melancholy.
After a while, the knocking on the door finally stopped, Xiao Shuyi listened inside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just when she wanted to take out her mobile phone to send a text message to Mr. Wolf and ask him to go home first, her mother came out of the guest room with a pair of Bluetooth headphones in one hand.
"Xiao Xiao, what do you say you are hiding this? When I found them, they were all in the corner! Mrs. Xiao was so tired that her hairstyle was a little crooked, so she quickly put a pair of midterm Bluetooth headphones on her ears, and stuffed the other pair to her daughter, still complaining.
Xiao Shuyi's eyelids raised, hehe, what else could she say? What could she have to say?
She grinned, looking like "I don't want to deal with you", just looking for two pairs of Bluetooth headphones, even if she hid a little hidden, it just needed to look at her eyes a few more times and move her hands a few more times, where else could she be tired?
Sentimental! This is her evaluation of her own mother, but after complaining, she thinks that her mother is cute like this, no wonder people like her father were tempted by her mother back then, if it was her, then she would not hesitate to pursue it!
"It's nothing, I didn't hide them, I just put them in my hand at the time, who knows how they got into the corner." She pursed her lips, blinked her eyes as if she was innocent, and spread her hands towards her mother, who had just sat back in her seat, with a look of "she doesn't know".
When Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter's smiling face, she felt a heart stopper, she was obviously very cute and obedient when she was a child, how did she become a ghost who always cheated her own mother when she grew up?
But she can't say a few words about her daughter during the New Year, after all, it's unlucky, just think about it, she glanced at her daughter and said angrily: "You just pretend, I thought I didn't know that you and your father secretly hid it, didn't you just want to be touched by the guests from the house?" Two cleanliness! ”
If you are a little unconscionable, you can prevent others, even her mother-in-law, is there still a mother like her in your eyes? !
Xiao Shuyi smiled hesitantly, and didn't speak, falling in Mrs. Xiao's eyes was equivalent to acquiescence, and her heart instantly balanced a lot.
By the time the mother and daughter listened to music and finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was completely dark outside, and the light shining out of the living room seemed so weak, although Xiao Shuyi thought that Mr. Wolf must have gone home, but she still turned on the light on the eaves outside the door, and when she heard the mother who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen asking, she lied a little and replied: "Oh, New Year's Eve, our family does not lack these few degrees of electricity!" ”
If Mr. Wolf was still outside the door, she should know that she was actually at home, of course, she hoped that he had already gone back, waiting stupidly to make her feel distressed.
Other people's families can go out to visit the night market after eating Chinese New Year's Eve, but her family can't, this is still her childhood, at that time people were curious and very interested in everything, and they were not afraid of the nature of the sky, when they pulled Cheng Yi out, and finally almost got lost, so that her parents were so worried that they didn't sleep all night, ran here and there to find her, but never found her, and then Cheng Yi found her in an abandoned small corner and sent her home.
It was from that time on, her family no longer allowed her to go out to play on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, staying in the house as soon as she finished eating, and no one came to open the door, let alone go out.
"Yes, Xiao Xiao, then you turn on all the lights upstairs and downstairs, don't you say that I almost forgot about it!" Mrs. Xiao only heard the sound of her turning on the lights, and could only glimpse a little light outside from the kitchen, and only then did she remember when she heard her daughter say this, and she remembered that the lights should indeed be turned on in the whole house on the night of the New Year, and she couldn't remember what the specific meaning was, but she only knew that they had such customs here, and every household was like this every year, and it was not just their family.
