Chapter 35: New Year
Since having been lucky, Mr. Alarm Clock has never had a chance to go off again.
Every day Lucky is the first to wake up, the first thing it wakes up is to play with friends, and Zeng Lihua, who lives together, naturally becomes its playmate.
Zeng Lihua has not woken up yet, Lucky has been jumping on the bed to have fun, every corner of the bedroom has become its amusement park, especially the cactus on the windowsill, which has become its favorite toy.
Zeng Lihua often wonders, is it lucky that it will not be pierced because of the long hair? Even sleeping on it is fine.
Luckily, it was the New Year, Zeng Lihua didn't want to stay in bed, got up early to put on new home clothes, and prepared to cook breakfast, in order to repay Liu Shimeng for her hard work of getting up early every day.
The idea is good, but unfortunately there are always people who get up earlier than him, and there are all kinds of ingredients they bought a year ago next to the stove, and Liu Shimeng is busy in the kitchen.
"Hey! Get up, Happy New Year! Liu Shimeng's long hair was casually pulled back at will, wearing a set of home sweatshirt pants and a sweet smile.
"Happy New Year, why do you always get up earlier than me? Don't give me a chance to cook? Zeng Lihua was very helpless, and he also went into the kitchen to work with Liu Shimeng.
"Haha! Because the early bird has worms! Liu Shimeng said.
"And what worms did you eat?" Zeng left the painting and went to the pool to brush the dishes, standing side by side with Liu Shimeng.
"Wouldn't it be the best treatment for me to live in such a nice house?"
"Forget it! You're here, it's to give me the best treatment, at least breakfast and supper, and no need to clean, no matter what you think, I earned it, earned a nanny! Zeng Li smiled evilly.
"Who's the babysitter!" Liu Shimeng mischievously raised her wet hand and flicked Zeng Li's painting all over the water.
"I am, I'm a babysitter!" Zeng Lihua laughed and dodged, and the two of them were messing around in the kitchen, and Lucky, who was sitting on the ground, tilted his head and stared at his big round eyes for some reason.
It was a very harmonious and warm morning.
"By the way, have you figured out the pair? In the north, whoever sticks to the child has long said that they have good luck! Liu Shimeng shouted in the kitchen to Zeng Lihua, who was serving the dishes.
"I've thought about it for a long time, just wait for Mr. Liu's pen and ink!" Zeng left the painting road.
"That's good! I'll write when I'm done stir-frying, and you can go to my room and take out the pen and ink on the table! Liu Shimeng shouted.
"Obey the order, this pen and ink will serve!" Zeng Lifei also ran to Liu Shimeng's room.
He had never entered her room since Liu Shimeng moved in, and when he walked to the door, he felt a little nervous.
Liu Shimeng's room was very clean, with a hint of a unique fragrance, and when he saw the bed, his heart was happy and satisfied, because he saw the bedding given to Liu Shimeng.
There are not many things in the bedroom, almost all of them are Liu Shimeng's paintings, as well as painting paints and tools, and there is an unfinished line drawing on the easel closest to the window.
He walked to the desk and saw several paintings hanging on the wall, all of which he had seen, one was a butterfly paradise, one was the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the other was the top of the mountain where they met for the second time, and he could clearly recognize that the boy in the painting was the same person.
Zeng Lihua couldn't help but glance at it, feeling a little lost, even sour, he was very envious of that boy, who was he? Is it Yoo Shimeng's lover?
Zeng Lihua walked out of the room with the pen and ink on the desk and the red paper he bought last time, and the round luck followed closely behind Zeng Lihua like a tail.
"Teacher Liu, I've already brought it!" Zeng Lihua held up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his hand.
Liu Shimeng put the dish and took the paper in Zeng Li's hand, put it on the ground and unfolded it, although it was ordinary red paper, but after Liu Shimeng's processing, the surrounding area was painted with fine patterns, full of artistic atmosphere.
"Wow! As it is a painting, the couplet is also more delicate than those who sell pairs! Zeng Lihua was amazed and full of praise for Liu Shimeng.
"That's, after all, this is your first time celebrating the New Year in your own home!" Liu Shimeng said with a smile.
"Thank you! Shimeng, bothered! ”
"Where's your pair?"
"I'm out, don't laugh at me if it's not good!" Zeng was a little embarrassed to leave the painting.
"Nope! You're a poet! I can see your handwriting on the bookshelf! ”
"Listen, the spring returns to the earth and the flowers are blooming, the five blessings are coming to celebrate the New Year, and the horizontal batch is auspicious!"
"There is another one, the hibiscus flowers bloom proudly and welcome spring, the poetry and painting are updated, and the good things are coming!" Zeng Lihua looked at Liu Shimeng, in fact, this pair was like the dialogue in his heart at this time.
Liu Shimeng is not only like the proud plum in the snow, but also like the white hibiscus flower, this is the first time he spent the New Year alone with a girl at home, the poetry refers to Liu Shimeng, the painting is obviously himself, maybe Zeng Lihua has a new plan in his heart, a new beginning.
"How? Which is better? ”
Liu Shimeng looked at the draft next to her, in fact, she liked the first pair very much, but she also couldn't put it down for the second pair, she knelt on the ground, the brush against her chin and tried to think.
"Sure enough, it's a poet, and there are only two of them, and I can't choose any of them, which one is good!"
Zeng Lihua sat on the ground with luck in his arms, watching Liu Shimeng's meditative and painstaking appearance, which was very interesting.
"Since Mr. Liu thinks it's good, then write it all!"
"Haha! You can go and see if Brother Zhongshan is at home, why don't you stick his house too? Liu Shimeng said.
Zeng Lihua obeyed the order, and immediately opened the door to see Zhongshan, sure enough, the door of their house was clean, and no one answered when he knocked on the door, he knew that Zhongshan must have gone to his father and mother for the New Year at this time.
"Brother Zhongshan, happy New Year?" Zeng Lihua dialed his mobile phone.
"Leave the painting, have a good New Year!" Chungsan's loud voice was immediately transmitted.
"Happy New Year, give my father and mother a New Year's greeting for me and Shimeng, Brother Zhongshan, let's paste a pair for you!"
"Pair? Okay! I won't be home for a while, so you can help take care of it! ”
Putting down the phone, Zeng Lihua winked at Liu Shimeng.
"Which one will you give to him?" Liu Shimeng asked.
"Then let Lucky help you choose!" Zeng Lihua looked lucky, happy and excited, and had an idea.
Liu Shimeng touched Lucky's head, and with a stroke of the pen, sonorous and powerful characters appeared in Zeng Lihua's surprised eyes.
"It's worthy of painting, and this word is so good, what does this make my dad see? Shimeng, you don't know, my dad loves calligraphy, really! Zeng Lihua praised again and again.
"Don't make fun of me, I'm mainly focused on drawing, and I still can't write!" Liu Shimeng put down the brush and let the ink dry.
Sure enough, I was lucky to be interested in this bright pair, and kept walking around, and finally I couldn't get up on the pair of "hibiscus flowers blooming and welcoming spring, poetry and painting are renewed, and good things are coming".
Zeng Lihua happily pointed to Lucky and said: "Look, it likes this, so we will use this pair, and that pair will be given to Brother Zhongshan!" ”
"Alright! Lucky you're lucky! Liu Shimeng touched Lucky affectionately, and wrote two more blessing words, and the two of them worked together to paste it, standing at the door joyfully admiring their masterpieces, and they were extremely proud.
At the end of the couplet, the two people sat together and ate seriously, which may be the atmosphere of the New Year, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was also very cheerful.
"Shimeng, let's just eat today, right?" Zeng Lihua leaned back in a chair and asked.
"yes, yes! Prepare lunch, dinner, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and watch the Spring Festival Gala! Liu Shimeng played with luck.
"I'm going to cook a dish today, too!"
"Yes! I haven't eaten what you've made yet? I've always thought that great artists don't eat fireworks in the world and don't need to cook! ”
"It's not that I don't need to, it's that I don't have time, I haven't had a chance to go into the kitchen since you came, but I'm still great at cooking!" Zeng Lihua's very unsightly and exaggerated nose rubbed made Liu Shimeng giggle non-stop.
After breakfast, Liu Shimeng habitually cleaned up the kitchen, Zeng Lihua was bored, took out a fruit plate with fruits, melon seeds and candies, placed them very carefully, and was very careful, and placed them on the dining table in a regular manner, and then sat on the ground and played with luck.
Liu Shimeng occasionally looked back and saw them, and she also smiled inexplicably.
Liu Tianci was still cold and cold with Shen Cheng, Shen Cheng knew that he was at a loss and was not qualified to be forgiven by Liu Tianci, but after all, it was the New Year, as a stepfather, he still had to do something, he lingered at the door of Liu Tianci, not knowing how to break the deadlock.
In the end, he mustered up the courage and knocked on the door, but Liu Tianci should not.
"God, I'll go out to buy things and come back for the New Year!" Shen Cheng sighed deeply and walked out of the cold home.
The home is cold, the weather outside is also cold, he tightens his clothes and walks on the street, there are many people, it is very lively, but his home is indifferent.
Shen Cheng suddenly thought of Liu Shimeng, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, thinking of the past, and regretting it.
After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, he still took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Liu Shimeng saw a strange call from Su Jin, glanced at Zeng Li's painting, and returned to the room.
"Hey! Providential! Liu Shimeng thought it was Liu Tianci.
"Dream, dream, it's me!" Shen Cheng's hoarse voice sounded.
When Liu Shimeng heard the familiar voice, all her good mood vanished, and her heart seemed to be stained with a layer of frost.
"You still know how to contact me?" Liu Shimeng changed her previous gentleness and quietness and wanted to hang up the phone.
"I'm back! Mengmeng, don't hang, don't hang, listen to my explanation, I was wrong, really wrong! This is the first time in Shen Cheng's life that he apologized to Liu Shimeng and admitted his mistakes.
"I was wrong all these years! I ......" Shen Cheng still wanted to say, but unfortunately the phone was already busy.
Liu Shimeng hung up the phone and almost fell on the bed, until now she didn't know how to face Shen Cheng, the man who hurt her mother, no matter how she thought about it, there was no need to forgive him.
Oh, yes! Everything that had happened was not a dream, but really happened in her life, she could forgive Shen Cheng for being bad to herself and her brother, but she couldn't forgive him for bullying her mother, in her heart, maybe only if her mother came back alive, she would have the courage to forgive this man.
