087, Chinese New Year (1)
Liu Jiaojiao, the old man of the clan, didn't go to her heart at all, because the next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were too many things to do, and she couldn't take the heart to pay attention to those bad old men.
Lei Zhong sent people to spread the word, asking them whether to go to the town to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner or stay in the village, if they stayed in the village, he would come, he had been alone for many years, and finally had a granddaughter to accompany him for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he would not keep the New Year alone no matter what.
Liu Jiaojiao discussed with Liu Jun and decided to let Lei Zhong come to the village for the New Year, and stay a few more days by the way, so that he could introduce Niu Haoran and Lotus to him, after all, these people will follow her in the future.
The messenger was very happy when he left, and repeatedly expressed his affirmation to bring the words word for word, because Liu Jiaojiao generously gave him a big red envelope, which was enough to make his family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner more sumptuous.
Liu Jun went to Lao Litou's house and invited him to come over the next day for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, while Liu Jiaojiao was at home to pack the things she needed to cook tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
She was busy when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and when she opened the door, she was full of surprise and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Standing at the door were Niu Haoran, willow roots, willow lotus and willow three.
Niu Haoran was the only one who signed a contract with Liu Jiaojiao, so he replied for the other three: "Won't tomorrow be Chinese New Year's Eve?" We thought that you and Brother Liu Jun would definitely have a lot of things to do at home, so we came to help. ”
"Which family isn't a lot of things at this time? What are you all going to do when you all come to your own house? Liu Jiaojiao frowned disapprovingly.
Liu Shugen waved his hand indifferently: "My family doesn't need my help, my father and mother have to do it themselves." ”
Niu Haoran explained with a smile: "My father and mother and brother and sister-in-law have done everything, and I am in the way of them when I stay at home. ”
Liu San said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, my family has a group of brothers and sisters, there is no more than me, and there is no less than me." ”
Liu Lotus was just about to speak, but Liu Jiaojiao waved her hand directly at her and said, "You don't need to say it, I know that there are more people in your family, and they are the same as Liu San, right?" ”
Liu Lotus nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Yes, don't worry, we all told our family when we came out, and they agreed to us before coming." ”
It's all said and done, can Liu Jiaojiao still refuse? I had to nod helplessly: "Then please leave it to you, but remember to bring a New Year's gift back when you go back, otherwise you will leave now." ”
The four of them glanced at each other and nodded happily and embarrassedly.
Liu Jiaojiao lives in Shanghai in modern times, although it is an international metropolis, but during the New Year, she always felt that compared to the small county town where she lived as a child, she always felt that there was a lack of New Year's flavor compared to the small county town where she lived as a child.
"Sister Lotus, I'll leave it to you to cut the window flowers, tree roots, you and Liu San put together the lanterns and hang them, Haoran, you are the tallest, help me go to the gate to paste the peach charm and the door god statue." Liu Jiaojiao arranged the work of several people in just a few words.
"Okay!" The four of them went down and went about their own business.
After all the things at hand were explained, Liu Jiaojiao instantly calmed down, and yesterday she had already carried out an all-round cleaning, and the stove in the kitchen was also wiped clean and replaced with offerings.
The Chinese New Year's Eve meal will only be made tomorrow, and the ingredients that should be used have been sorted and placed, so there is no need to rush to do pre-processing now.
What should we do?
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she asked Liu San, who was assembling lanterns in the yard, loudly: "Liu San, what year is the New Year?" ”
Liu San didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, he reacted, and replied loudly: "The New Year is the Year of the Dragon, Jiaojiao, what are you asking for?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment." Liu Jiaojiao deliberately sold it and turned around and went back to her house.
Liu San asked Liu Shugen in some surprise: "Shugen, what kind of medicine do you say Jiaojiao sells in this gourd?" ”
Liu Shugen had an inexplicable trust in Liu Jiaojiao, and said indifferently when he heard the words: "It's definitely not a mouse drug, Jiaojiao never does useless work, there must be her thoughts, you just wait and see." ”
"You believe her."
"Don't you believe it?"
"Faith is naturally faith, but sometimes I feel a little flustered, and I always feel that Jiaojiao is too smart." Saying that, Liu San deliberately lowered his voice, "Have you heard?" The second uncle of the Liu family told people that Jiaojiao is a demon who can eat people. ”
Willow Root scoffed, "Can you believe what the family says?" If Jiaojiao was really a demon, the things she did to them would have been gnawed to the point that there were no bones left, and she could still let them scream there? ”
Liu San touched his nose and nodded sympathetically: "I think so too, but Jiaojiao is really too smart, not at all like he is only ten years old, no wonder the family found this reason to arrange him." ”
"Let them choreograph, Jiaojiao said, the mouth grows on others, love to say it or not, can't stop it, as long as you don't talk about it in front of her, otherwise you wait and see, Jiaojiao has a way to clean them up!"
Liu San said with a little admiration: "Don't look at Jiaojiao as a girl, she is quite broad-minded." ”
Willow Root raised his head proudly, just like he was the one who was praised, "That's it, Jiaojiao is the most powerful!" ”
Liu San was happy after a while, and quipped: "Look at your proud appearance, I don't know that I think Jiaojiao is your own sister!" ”
Liu Shugen hurriedly put down the things in his hand, covered his mouth, and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, although I hope Jiaojiao is my own sister, but her brother can only have one, that is, Brother Liu Jun, no one is allowed to rob Brother Liu Jun!" ”
Liu San pulled his hand away with great effort, and said with a smile: "Why are you telling me this?" I didn't want to rob my sister with Brother Liu Jun. ”
"There is no best!" Liu Shugen looked left and right, covered his mouth with his hand, and his voice was very small, "I tell you quietly, Brother Liu Jun will definitely marry Jiaojiao in the future." ”
"What?" Liu San's voice suddenly raised, and then he hurriedly looked around, lowered his voice, and looked disbelieving, "How do you know?" What did Brother Liu Jun tell you? Impossible, right? Aren't they brother and sister? ”
Liu Shugen glanced at him disdainfully, "It's not a relative, the eight poles are not related by blood, why can't it?" It wasn't Brother Liu Jun who told me, I was smart enough to see it! ”
Liu San instantly lost the desire to gossip, because the whole village knew that Liu Shugen had nothing to do with the word "smart", what he said must be nonsense, seeing that the brothers and sisters had a good relationship, plus there was no blood relationship, he felt that the two were a couple, and he almost believed it.
After a long time, when Liu Jun and Liu Jiaojiao were officially together, Liu San was so angry that he wanted to beat the willow roots, why wasn't this second goods a little more firm at that time? It hurt him to miss so many opportunities to appreciate the ambiguity of two people!
But that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.
Liu Jiaojiao in the room with a brush quite laborious to depict the Q version of the dragon, in modern times every New Year, each business will make a lot of good-looking Q version of the zodiac pattern, fortunately she also has some painting skills, and the memory is good, so there are a lot of cute dragon patterns in the brain, but the brush depicts really hard, so nostalgic for the modern painting brush!
When Liu Jun came back, he found that the house was very lively, and when he learned that they had come to help, he couldn't help but thank him again, and then asked, "What about Jiaojiao?" ”
Liu San pointed to her room and said, "Half an hour ago, she asked me what year the New Year was, and I said it was the Year of the Dragon, and then she went into the house, and she never came out, and she didn't know what she was doing inside." ”
Liu Jun nodded to show that she understood, and then walked to Liu Jiaojiao's house and knocked on the door, "Jiaojiao, I'm brother, can I come in?" ”
Before entering the room, you must knock on the door to confirm, this is the rule set by Liu Jiaojiao, because she is afraid that Liu Jun will come in rashly and find that she is not in the house when she enters the space, Liu Jun does not know the inside story, but she is reserved of the girl's family, so she has always followed it very well.
"Brother, you don't have time in your hands, open the door and come in by yourself!" Liu Jiaojiao's voice came from the room.
Liu Jun frowned slightly, what is my sister busy with? Pushing the door and taking a look, I found that Liu Jiaojiao was almost lying on the table, burying her head in drawing something.
When he got closer, he realized that she had drawn a lot of very, very strange pictures.
"Jiaojiao, what are these paintings you are drawing?"
"Dragon, are you cute?" Liu Jiaojiao replied without raising her head.
Lovely? The corners of Liu Jun's mouth twitched, he really didn't see anything cute about those pictures, and he didn't look like a majestic dragon, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of dampening his sister's enthusiasm, so he had to nod against his will and said, "Well, it's cute." ”
"I think so too, brother, you wait for me to draw a few more, and then choose the cutest look and let Sister Lotus help make a puppet, and then we will put one on the bunk and sleep in it, how festive!" Liu Jiaojiao's eyebrows fluttered.
Liu Jun silently made up for the appearance of these patterns made into a puppet, and then made up for the way she slept with a puppet, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times again.
My sister's hobbies seem a little weird.,What should I do?
The four of them are used to doing work at home, so they are very quick to do things, and after another half an hour, they will all do the work arranged by Liu Jiaojiao.
Looking at the beautiful window grilles pasted on the windows, the festive red lanterns hanging on the door beams, the majestic door gods pasted at the gate and the peach charms on the side, Liu Jiaojiao was very satisfied, and after thanking the four of them, one of them stuffed a thick New Year's gift, forcing them to take it home.
The four of them thanked and left gratefully, and even Liu Shugen, the person who likes to come to eat the most, didn't want to leave, after all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it is not good to eat at someone else's house at this time.
Soon after sending the four of them away, the sky darkened, Liu Jun lit the red lantern, and in an instant, the dilapidated old mansion became warm.
Seeing Liu Jiaojiao staring at the lantern and reluctant to take her eyes off, Liu Jun smiled and said: "There is a lantern festival in the town at fifteen, if you like to watch the lantern, I will take you to see it then." ”
"Is it pretty? Guess the lantern riddles? Liu Jiaojiao asked excitedly.
"I haven't been there, but it must be good-looking, after all, it is said that the whole street was full of all kinds of lanterns that day, as for guessing the lantern riddle, I really don't know this, and when Lei Dong's house comes tomorrow, you can ask him, he has lived in the town for a long time, and he must know." Liu Jun thought about it before replying apologetically.
"By the way, brother, did Master agree to come over and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together?"
"I agreed, and said that he would cook a few hard dishes himself, and he would bring the ingredients himself tomorrow."
"That's great, Master's cooking is much better than mine! Grandpa should also bring good food tomorrow, and he will also bring his favorite wine, and tomorrow it is estimated that he will have to fight with Master again. Liu Jiaojiao's tone was a little helpless, as long as the two old men drank too much wine and began to fight each other, they were like three-year-old children.
Liu Jun said with a smile: "For the New Year, let them be, just be happy." As he spoke, he looked into the distance and became a little long, "Jiaojiao, it's the New Year." ”
Liu Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at him, took his hand, and showed a bright smile, "Yes, it's the New Year." ”
