Chapter 332: Awkwardness

"I misread you, I thought you were a decent man, but I didn't expect the fox's tail to be revealed in the end." Duran rolled out of bed in a huff, put on his shoes and draped his clothes neatly.

Gu Youan looked at her in astonishment, she was angry.

The one who should be angry is him, right, he can't get her turn, he was kicked out of bed by her in the early morning of the first day of the new year, and he didn't say anything.

Duran didn't care what he was thinking at the moment, bypassed him and opened the door directly.

Old Man Gu was already moving his muscles in the yard, and when he saw Du Lan open the door and come out, he looked angry again, and immediately asked with a smile: "Lan Lan, what's wrong with you?" Quarreled with Youan? ”

Du Lan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at the old man with a pleasant smile: "No, you are wrong, how can we quarrel on the first day of the new year." ”

"Really?" Old Man Gu's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he looked at Duran fixedly.

"Really!" Duran was worried that he was overthinking, and nodded heavily as he spoke.

"It's good if you don't have it." Old Man Gu nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandpa, I'm going to prepare breakfast, you go back to the house to rest first, someone should give you a New Year's greeting in a while."

As soon as the words fell, sure enough, there were footsteps outside the door.

"Old man, we're here to greet you." Xue Yan, Feng Haonan, and Duan Yijian walked into the courtyard to salute Old Man Gu.

Old Man Gu hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.

Soon Zhao and Du Er also came, and as soon as they entered the door and found Old Man Gu, they didn't say a word, and immediately knelt down and bowed.

"Hurry up, please get up." Old Man Gu smiled and helped the two of them up, turned his head and shouted to the house that Gu Youan came out to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Gu Youan came out in response, and was about to bow down to Du Er and Zhao, but Old Man Gu stopped him: "Wait a minute, you and Lan Lan just got married this year, and you have to kneel down to worship your parents at the same time, Lan Lan, you come over and give your father and mother New Year's greetings with You'an." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the custom here is not to close the house every night, and people who come to pay New Year's greetings in the early morning do not need to knock on the door, and go directly to the house.

As if he hadn't heard, Du Lan stood motionless with a reluctant face, Gu Youan saw that she was still in a mood, smiled at everyone, stepped forward and took Du Lan's hand and came to Zhao and Du Er, kneeling down and saluting the two.

Duran didn't dodge this time, for fear that the New Year would not be happy and taboo, but everyone's eyes were bright, and everyone had already guessed what was going on with this small action.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Zhao hurriedly helped Du Lan and Gu Youan up, and asked them with concern if they hadn't rested well last night.

As soon as Zhao's words came out, Du Lan's face immediately became slightly hot, did her mother mean something?

Duran stood up straight and disguised: "Keeping the New Year, didn't everyone sleep, I'm fine." ”

Zhao's suspicious gaze patrolled Du Lan's body a few times, Du Lan's heart was weak, and he was afraid of worrying Zhao, so he greeted the people around him one by one.

"Brother Xue, Uncle Duan, Brother Feng, sit down first, and we will have breakfast together." After Duran finished speaking, he turned his head and went into the room to get busy.

Zhao chased after him on the back foot.

Gu Youan and Old Man Gu warmly welcomed everyone into the house and sat down.

Zhao kept watching Du Lan busy in the room, cooking dumplings, so he stepped forward to help, during which Zhao opened his mouth several times, but still didn't ask.

However, her gaze made Du Lan feel uncomfortable, and after cooking the dumplings, she asked Zhao to help serve the rice and bring it into the house.

At the dinner table, in addition to eating, everyone kept peeking at Duran, and then looked at Gu Youzhi, and always felt that the atmosphere between them was not very harmonious.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the most idle day for people, after breakfast, Zhao has nothing to do, but to rush to brush the pots and bowls, Duran is idle, but a little at a loss, unconsciously has been in this world for almost a year, when she is busy, she is quite suitable for life here. But as idle as she is now, she doesn't know what to do, what to do for, and what to live for.

At this moment, she felt that life was boring and empty, and for a moment, she realized that she lacked a sense of belonging.

Walking out of the gate, the entire village seemed to be covered in a thin layer of smoke, and the strong smell of firecrackers wafted through the air.

Such a scene reminded her of when she was a child, when she lived in her hometown with her parents. During the Chinese New Year, every household will set off firecrackers on the fifth watch day of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Those brilliant fireworks sprinkled the sky with colorful lights, decorating the dark night like neon lights, so colorful and fascinating.

On the street when you get up early, it's the smell of firecrackers now.

As if in the past, her parents had left her in that accident, and she had come to this strange and ancient place in another accident.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but wet her eyes with tears.

Gu Youan is a newlywed husband, he has no father, so his father-in-law took him out to greet the elders at the entrance of the village.

With a sigh in his heart, as if broken, he said a word to Du Er, and walked quickly to Du Lan.

Seeing that it was him, Du Lan raised his feet and was about to enter the house, Gu Youan grabbed her wrist at once, "Lady, go back to the house to rest, it's cold outside." ”

"You don't have to." Duran was furious and tried to break free from him.

Gu Youan held on, "How can I stand by and watch." ”

"I'm fine, okay I want to go back to the house." Duran shook him off with all his might, lifted his foot and walked inside. Writing Zhai

Looking at Duran's lonely, rejecting his back thousands of miles away, Gu Youan's heart ached faintly like a pinprick.

"You'an, what's wrong with you and Lan Lan?" Du Er found out that something was not quite right between them from the time he had breakfast, and he thought that he would be with Meimei on the first day of the new year, so he endured it without asking.

Looking at them like that just now, Du Er really couldn't help but ask.

Gu Youan shook his head, a wry smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "Dad, it's okay!" I said the wrong thing and upset her. I'll coax her when I'll get back. ”

He didn't want to make her angry and sad, and she was sad that her heart was like a knife, bleeding drop by drop.

Du Er nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "You'an, men have to take care of it more, her childhood was not good, sometimes she was cold, and it was not easy to get along with, in fact, after knowing each other for a long time, you will find that she is actually a knife mouth tofu heart, she has a good heart." ”

Gu Youan hurriedly nodded and said, "Dad, I understand." I know her best, you don't have to worry about our business, I will definitely let her do everything in the future, spoil her more, and think more about her. ”

Du Er nodded appreciatively, and then was complacent: "I love my daughter-in-law, no one in the whole village can compare to me." You learn a little in the future, but don't let your woman be sad, this is a manly husband, the pillar of the family. ”

"What my father-in-law said is that my son-in-law takes it to heart." Gu Youan said modestly.

"You are a measured person, the affairs of the two of you still depend on your own adjustment, and we parents can only persuade for a while, not for a lifetime. New Year's Day, let's not talk about this, let's go, go to your uncle's New Year's greetings. ”

"Good!"

In this way, Gu Youan followed Du Er around several houses in the village, and when he came back, Du Boss's family also came over.

"Old man, I'm here to greet you for the New Year." Boss Du's voice sounded in the courtyard.

When Zhao heard the voice, he hurriedly greeted him, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Mimi, Fangfang, please come into the house." ”

Boss Du nodded and went in with a smile on his face, "I wish the old man good luck and good luck, and the years are as good as new." As he spoke, Boss Du bowed his hand to Old Man Gu, greeted the New Year, and said blessings.

"I also wish you more prosperous days." The old man said with a smile.

Zhao poured him tea, and the big guy sat down to chat together.

Du Er looked at Zhao's busy work, and couldn't bear to let her come over and rest together for a while, Zhao was thinking about Duran, how could he have the heart to sit down and drink tea, and now he doesn't know what happened to the little two.

The first day of the new year is weird and troublesome.

Du Er looked at her and kept looking out of the house, and knew what she was thinking, the old husband and wife have lived a lifetime, and the other party can guess the other party's thoughts with one look.

"Mother, don't worry too much, they are all adults, and they will handle their own affairs. How can a husband and wife in the world not stumble for a lifetime? Besides, I don't think it's a big deal, so let them go. ”

Zhao looked at him in surprise.

She didn't expect that Du Er, who was usually very arrogant, would actually be able to take a fancy to her thoughts.

Old Man Gu echoed with a faint smile: "What Du Er said is that we are elders, some things are not suitable for meddler, originally they were fine, but as soon as we stirred up, maybe the matter will be serious, let's just don't know anything, You'an and Lan Lan are good children who know how to handle things, I believe they can handle it themselves." ”

"I understand what the old man said." Zhao nodded, relieved a lot, between husband and wife, how can there be no awkwardness, as a person who has come over, she naturally understands the truth.

She was in too much of a hurry.

Duran was in a somewhat melancholy and desolate mood, so he stayed in the room and did not come out to laugh with everyone.

Du Mi and Du Fangfang came to play with Du Lan, Du Lan put on a smiling face, Du Mi said three words to Du Lan, and the topic came to Chen Jingting, Du Fangfang was obviously very interested in this topic, her mind was full of Chen Jingting's smile, and she liked this future brother-in-law in her heart.

When it was empty, Zhao pushed the door in, and saw that Du Lan and Du Mi were chatting hotly, and their smiling faces were smiling, and they were immediately relieved, presumably as Old Man Gu guessed, their husband and wife just had some small awkwardness.

Looking at the slightly tired and haggard Zhao family, Du Lan's heart tightened: "Mother, you didn't sleep last night, and this morning you entertained the guests and worked all morning, take advantage of the leisure now to drink a few more sips of water, lie down and sleep here for a while, I will come to Zhang Luo for lunch." ”

Zhao sat on the chair, relaxed, let the junior lean on the back of the chair, and said with a pleased smile: "It's not very tired, since I followed you to enjoy the blessings, my mother's body has been conditioned, and I rarely feel tired." ”

"Mother is coaxing me to be happy, don't say that you don't sleep all night, it's just that I'm so young, I can't stand it all night." Duran put himself in Zhao's shoes and said.

"Really?" Zhao suddenly smiled, this smile was extremely excited, and at a glance it was clear that she must have misunderstood.

Duran grinned bitterly, but she couldn't admit it or deny it, she wanted to bite off her tongue.

Du Mi's face was flushed, and she covered her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

The more this is the case, the more Zhao feels that he has guessed correctly, it seems that You'an must have worked too hard last night and tired Lan Lan, so Lan Lan was unwell and a little depressed.

Zhao smiled with relief, as long as the two of them were okay, she felt at ease.

Although Du Fangfang didn't understand, the atmosphere in the room was very embarrassing, so she tilted her head and asked Du Mi, why did she cover her mouth and snicker, she didn't hear anything funny, and no one told a joke.

Du Mi rubbed Du Fangfang's little head melon seeds and said with a smile: "You will understand when you grow up, and now you know that your cousin's life is very happy." ”

"Happiness?"

"Well, it's just that you're happy every day, even if you're tired." Du Mi patiently explained to her.

"Isn't that as sweet as honey? Every time I'm unhappy, as long as I eat honey, I'm happy. Du Fangfang innocently blinked her big grape-like eyes.
