Tan Man looked at this photo with a smile, Gu Mochen bought a pot of water-raised hyacinths, the transparent glass bottle raised the cluster of white stems of the plant, the light purple buds were half-wrapped by green leaves, and the buds were waiting to be released, Xiaobei, who was holding the flowers, didn't find anything unusual when he saw it, but when he looked at it seriously, his small mouth pursed slightly, and his white and tender little face was shrouded in a layer of reluctance.

Tan Man couldn't help but laugh and replied:

"The flowers are beautiful, but what's wrong with the little boy who bouquets them?"

also chose a frowning expression and sent it over.

In less than two seconds, the other party replied with three words: "Jealous." ”

Tan Man was surprised and replied, "What do you mean?" ”

Gu Mochen: "I seem to have another rival in love." ”

Tan Man: "Huh? ”

Gu Mochen: "'When I grow up, I want to let Manman be my girlfriend', this is Gu Zhoubei's original words." ”

Burst......

Tan Man laughed, sure enough, he was a brother, his words were amazing, flattering, she thought about it, and quickly clicked a few times on the screen: "Let me talk to him on the phone at night." ”

Gu Mochen leaned on the sofa in the living room, looked at the pot of hyacinths on the bookshelf, and smiled in his eyes.

It's just a day since I saw her, but her face has appeared in her mind hundreds of times, this feeling of being involuntarily, uncontrollable, but willing, is probably the itching of the heart after falling in love.

Time flickered, in a blink of an eye it was Chinese New Year's Eve, a busy year, finally stopped on this day to reunite with the family, although the taste of the year faded, but the streets and alleys will still be covered with red, lantern banners hanging, couplet blessing words pasted, the atmosphere of the New Year is strong again.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve, there have been Spring Festival warm-up activities in the community, and early in the morning, the retired old teachers gathered together, playing and singing, and Tan Man was woken up early.

After breakfast, Tan Weiguo took out the prepared couplets and lanterns, and urged Tan Man to help paste the couplets and hang lanterns outside the door, which is a habit every year. After doing this, one of the most important things is to put the portrait of your mother on the table, pour a cup of tea, a glass of wine, put some fruit plate food, and talk to your mother on the last day of the year.

"This time has passed, six or seven years, and in a blink of an eye, my daughter has grown up and can earn food by herself." Tan Weiguo looked at the face that had not changed for many years in the photo and sighed,

"I'm also old, I'm useless, a few years ago, I was sick, but don't worry, it's not serious, now, it's all right, it's almost."

Since the accident, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, a stage was set up for my mother, and my father just silently poured tea and toasted on the side, looking at the photo carefully and without speaking, but this year, Tan Man heard Tan Weiguo talking to his mother in front of him for the first time, and inexplicably poked tears and sour nose.

"Dad, Mom can see it in the sky, I've grown up, graduated, and can support myself, so don't worry about me in the future, think more about yourself, take care of yourself, and Mom can feel more at ease." Tan Man grabbed his father's left arm and leaned on him like he did when he was a child, but that shoulder seemed to be less strong than when he was a child.

Tan Weiguo patted her hand and nodded: "Yes, my daughter has grown up, maybe, in another year, a year or two, I will be left, this, old man, at home, for the New Year." ”

"What do you say, we'll be together every year from now on." Tan Man frowned, with a solemn expression.

"I'm married, and I'm pulling, you, old father, go to you, my mother-in-law's house? Lost, not ashamed? Tan Weiguo said with a smile.

"What's the shame, you just have a daughter for me, and I am a relative for you, if you don't live with me, who else can you live with?"

"When the daughter grows up, it's like, the bird, it's going to come out of the nest, naturally, it's going to fly away."

"Even if you fly farther, you are also my father, and I will go home." After Tan Man finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and the thief smiled, "Oh, I know, if you don't talk to me, you can still talk to Aunt Xu, right, haha." ”

"Nonsense!" Tan Weiguo was not very fluent in speaking, and when he was teased by his daughter, he was even more speechless for a while, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed all of a sudden.

"Dad, where did Aunt Xu go for the New Year?"

"Her mother's house, two days ago, I went back."

"Next year, let her celebrate the New Year with us." Tan Man raised her head and looked at Tan Weiguo very sincerely, the meaning of her words can be understood by anyone, but when it comes to this topic recently, Tan Weiguo always avoids.

"Dad, Aunt Xu must be willing, just wait for you to talk to her."

He looked at his daughter, and the corners of his eyes flashed with deep wrinkles: "First, solve your matter, and then talk about it." ”

“……”

Even if it is a reunion dinner for two people, it has to be eaten officially and grandly, after the meal, Tan Man packed up the dishes and chopsticks, his father had already watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room, Tan Man sat cross-legged next to him, chatting with Qiao Ning on WeChat while eating melon seeds, and from time to time he also replied to the New Year greetings sent by the group.

When she replied to Qiao Ning's message, a mobile phone text message was inserted, and the text messages of this year, except for advertisements in all directions, there were few of them of practical significance, so she turned them off casually.

No, it doesn't seem to be an advertisement.

After reacting, she put down the melon seeds in her hand and re-clicked on the SMS interface, which was a text message with bank funds arriving in the account, which read:

Your tail number **** account was transferred to RMB 20,000.00 at 20:15 on January 26, please check it in time.

She sat up straight and immediately used her mobile phone to log in to the online banking, only to find that the payer of the transfer turned out to be Gu Mochen.

"What's wrong?" Tan Weiguo was startled when he saw her and asked.

She replied perfunctorily: "Nothing." ”

Tan Weiguo didn't ask any more questions, turned his head and continued to look at the sketch with a smile.

Tan Man looked at the screen and thought for a while.

For most of the previous half a year, Gu Mochen basically transferred his salary to her at this time at the end of the month, but when he received this money at this moment, he suddenly felt a little redundant.

After thinking about it for a while, she still decided to send a WeChat message to Gu Mochen:

"You transferred me money?"

In the next second, Gu Mochen made a direct phone call.

Tan Man subconsciously pressed the bell, and looked at Tan Weiguo sitting next to him like a thief, fortunately, his father was immersed in the Spring Festival Gala and didn't notice it at all.

So, she put on her slippers and walked towards her room, and as soon as the door closed, she immediately picked up the phone.

"You can't be hiding in your room to answer the phone, right?"

Tan Man's mouth was stiff: "No, I just walked away." ”

Gu Mochen smiled and didn't expose her: "The money has been received?" ”

"Well, but I'll have to turn you back." Tan Manyi said righteously.

"Why?"

"Let's not say that I haven't been to your house at all this month, and with our current relationship, I think it's a bit strange that you pay me a salary!"

Gu Mochen chuckled: "Who told you that this is a salary?" ”

Tan Man blinked and asked, "20,000 yuan, what else can it be if it's not a salary?" ”

"It's the New Year, this is the red envelope money from my boyfriend to my girlfriend." He said in a natural tone, "I originally wanted to seal a WeChat red envelope for you, but it seems that there is an upper limit, so I will transfer the card to you." ”

Should she accept it or refuse it, but her mood was suddenly dragged to a high point, and she couldn't help laughing, she was very surprised, Gu Mochen, a man who seems to be serious, will also do this kind of thing to make his girlfriend happy.

"Uh...... I am a little weak in the receipt of this red envelope, after all, there is no merit. ”

"Red envelopes are not given for free, you always have to exchange something."

"Huh?"

Gu Mochen hooked the corners of his lips, smiling slyly on the other end of the phone, and after a long while, he slowly spoke, with sincerity and a hint of urgency in his tone:

"Manvine, 20,000 yuan, for you to come back two days early, okay?"

The low magnetic voice was gentle and almost melted away, and at this moment, Tan Man couldn't wait to be in front of him immediately.

She smiled sheepishly.

Since the establishment of the relationship, the contact between the two has been much more frequent than before, and in the face of him, they have been slightly restrained from the beginning, and now they are becoming more and more natural and casual, and even occasionally sprinkle a little petite; And Gu Mochen, who has always been mature and steady, seems to have adapted to the role of his boyfriend faster, and the way he talks about love, like his person, has crossed the jerky and clumsy and directly reached the stable period.

Just now, when he said that he was going to exchange something, it was undeniable that she wanted to be crooked, so much so that she couldn't help but blush.

Tan Man covered his slightly hot skin, pretended to be calm, and teased him: "Why do I feel like I'm doing something shady dealing?" ”

Gu Mochen scratched his eyebrows, a little frustrated, and sighed lightly: "I'll just say casually, you should stay at home for a while, and accompany your father well, the two of us, there will be time in the future." ”

Hearing this, Tan Man's heart was hot, and he suddenly became emotional.

This is the person she likes, considerate and generous, considerate of others, who can shake her heart all the time, and cannot extricate herself.

Thinking so in my heart, I subconsciously blurted out in my mouth:

"Gu Mochen, I miss you, I miss you very much."

When he heard a low laugh on the other end of the phone, Tan Man came back to his senses, his little face wrinkled, and he wanted to bury his head in the ground.

At this time, Tan Weiguo happened to call her outside the door, and without waiting for him to speak, he took the opportunity to immediately say: "Dad is calling me, I won't tell you, goodbye!" Hung up the phone in a hurry, Tan Man held the phone and calmed down for a while, but the more he wanted to be calm, the faster his heart was beating.

The man on the other end of the phone, obviously tasted the sweetness, but was not very satisfied, smiled on the sofa for a while, when his eyes fell on the half-open hyacinth, looking at those small purple petals, a thought flashed in his mind, sank, and got up and walked towards Xiaobei's room. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although it is not much different from most days, it seems that everyone's mood will be inexplicably excited, and even Tan Weiguo hummed a little song at home, carefully playing with the peach blossom in the living room.

It's just that Tan Man is a little melancholy.
