Chapter 203: Happiness (1)
The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it is another three years in the blink of an eye.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
The sky was covered with goose feathers and snow.
Jinyang City is covered with thick snow, a world of ice and snow.
The big red lantern in front of the Jinyang Spring Noodle Restaurant lit up.
It echoes and sets off each other with the fluttering snow, which is very festive.
The noodle shop is full of customers, people eating and drinking in the noise, pushing and changing glasses in the midst of laughter.
Is this singing and dancing?
Is this what it means to live and work in peace?
Is this Chinese New Year's Eve?
Xiao Jinhua stood outside the door of the noodle restaurant with Su Yan in his arms, watching the people who were full of wine and food slowly leave.
It seems to have become a habit, Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan made an appointment to visit relatives and go home, the first stop is always to Jinyang Spring Noodle Restaurant to have a look, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter the heat and cold, they feel that there is the taste of grandparents, the taste of parents, and the taste of hometown.
Is it family affection, nostalgia, or what kind of affection?
It's so haunting.
It's so reluctant.
The people are gone.
Xiao Jinhua was still holding Su Yan and looking at the red lantern and the tall plaque of the noodle restaurant.
Zhou Xiao, who was already a college student, ran out. "Two," she said, "do you want noodles or a la carte?" She was stunned, isn't this a big brother, a big sister?
Chinese New Year's Eve, big brother, big sister is back.
Zhou Xiao pounced on Xiao Jinhua.
Xiao Jinhua let go of Su Yan's arm and hugged Zhou Xiao who rushed over.
"I can't even admit it. Big girl. ”
"Big brother, big sister, hurry into the house, it's cold outside. Give me the luggage. ”
Xiao Jinhua, as soon as Su Yan entered the house, "It's warm in the house, big brother, big sister quickly took off her coat, I asked my dad to make a face for you." ”
Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan looked around like they were coming to the noodle restaurant for the first time, and they still felt very fresh.
Zhou Xiao ran out of the back kitchen, still excitedly said, "Brother, it's rare for you to come back for the Spring Festival." ”
Xiao Jinhua: "Yes, I wanted to come back after the festival, but those comrades-in-arms didn't live or die, and we were so gracious that we came back." ”
Su Yan: "The noodle restaurant's business seems to be good." ”
Zhou Xiao: "In the words of my mother and father, I owe you a blessing." Since Mu Yun and Mu Xin went to kindergarten, my mother has come back, and my father has been like a tiger with wings, and he has been working more happily. Business is also getting better and better, and it has been prepared for the New Year, opening two branches, and the location and house are optimistic. ”
Xiao Jinhua nodded, "Okay, your parents are hard-working people, they can't get rich?" ”
Zhou Xiao was grateful, "No matter how capable my parents are, they don't have the conditions you give, and they don't work for others every day." ”
"Don't mention the old things again, your father's body is okay, right?"
"Well, if it's your big sister's credit."
Xiao Jinhua smiled, "Here we go again." ”
Zhou Hongli walked out with a large dinner plate, "Su Yan, Jinhua welcomes you to the noodle restaurant, every year, what you bring us is blessings, wealth and joy." When the noodles are ready, eat them while they're hot. ”
As he spoke, he put the plate on the table and handed the bowl to Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan.
Xiao Jinhua and He stood up, "Thank you, Brother Zhou." ”
Zhou Hongli smiled, "After you finish eating, I will also pick up the profits, let's go home and make dumplings together for the New Year." He turned and walked to the back kitchen.
When Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan walked out of the noodle restaurant after eating noodles.
Zhou Hongli had already parked the car at the door.
Zhou Hongli took Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan's suitcases and put them in the trunk.
He saw Zhou Xiao lock the door and enter the car. Start the car slowly.
In the quiet of the night, there was only the sound of snowflakes hitting the windows of cars, and only the click of cars crushing the snow.
In the snow, they returned home.
At the moment when he pushed open the courtyard door, Xiao Jinhua's rushing pace slowed down.
The loved ones she longed to see were right in front of her, and she burst into tears.
She is about to meet her son Mu Yun and her daughter Mu Xin.
Her pace slowed down, and she wanted to take the child into her arms immediately, but she really couldn't stand the result of the child not recognizing each other.
Last spring, when she visited her family, she couldn't wait to open the gate of the yard, Mu Yun, who was playing in the yard, Mu Xin pointed at her and said, "Auntie, who are you?" There is no one in our house, so you are not allowed to come in. ”
Then he ran and shouted, "Mother Qin, someone is here." ”
Xiao Jinhua's tears burst out of his eyes and flowed down in a stream. Her heart was aching, and she was blaming herself deeply.
Today she is afraid of repeating the scene of last spring.
When she hesitated, the door of the house opened, and Mu Yun and Mu Xin ran out of the house, shouting, "Mom, Dad,"
Pounced on them.
Xiao Jinhua hugged Mu Yun tightly and kept kissing the child he dreamed of.
Su Yan raised his pastoral heart high.
Mu Xin smiled.
Xiao Long and Han Jia walked out of the house and said happily, "Hurry up and enter the house." ”
Mu Yun shouted, "Grandma, we don't go into the house, we have to have a snowball fight with Mom and Dad, build a snowman." ”
Mu Xin echoed, "Yes, grandma, we don't go into the house, we have a snowball fight with mom and dad and build a snowman." ”
Han Jia smiled helplessly, "You guys fight, you guys pile up." Hong Li, Zhou Xiao entered the house, and we made dumplings. ”
Zhou Hongli and Zhou Xiao agreed and entered the house with suitcases.
Mu Yun, Mu Xin's sweet "mother" called Xiao Jinhua's heart.
Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan took off their coats and happily had a snowball fight with Muyun and Muxin.
Xiao Jinhua deliberately faced the snowball hit by Mu Yun and Mu Xin, and kept making the sound of "oops, oops" being shot.
Su Yan also imitated Xiao Jinhua's movements.
Mu Yun and Mu Xin laughed.
Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan laughed,
Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan were tired from playing with the children, and they were steaming all over their bodies and began to look for tools to build a snowman.
Siu felt that this was her happiest moment, and she could play with the children freely, which was something she dreamed of.
This is commonplace for other people's children's mothers, but what a luxury requirement for Xiao Jinhua.
Xiao Jinhua felt that all her previous efforts were worth it.
Really, Xiao Jinhua is very happy.
The tall snowman was quickly built.
Zhou Xiao ran out of the house, holding carrots, potatoes, and long red peppers in her hands.
Xiao Jinhua took the things handed to her by Zhou Xiao, and said to the children with a smile: "Where is this carrot placed in the snowman?" ”
Mu Yun hurriedly said, "The carrot is the big nose of the snowman. ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled, "Mu Yun is awesome, let's use carrots to make the big nose of a snowman." ”
Su Yan took out the red pepper from Xiao Jinhua's hand, "Where is this red pepper?" ”
Mu Xin hurriedly said, "I said, Mu Yun is not allowed to speak. ”
Xiao Jinhua said: "Mu Xin said. ”
Mu Xin said triumphantly: "Red pepper makes the mouth of a snowman." ”
Xiao Jinhua said: "Okay, red pepper is the mouth of a snowman." ”
The pepper is placed underneath the carrot that is stuck in the snowman's face, and it curves like a smiley face.
Xiao Jinhua said: "The snowman is so beautiful, with a curved mouth and a high nose. ”
Mu Yun immediately continued: "Yam eggs make the eyes of a snowman. ”
Mu Xin also followed up and said, "I also know that yam eggs make the eyes of snowmen. ”
Xiao Jinhua laughed so much that tears came out, "Who taught our children, the pure local dialect of Jinyang City has come out." ”
Qin Lian, who walked to the courtyard, said with stubble: "Oh, Jinyang people (reng) don't speak Jinyang dialect, why are they called Jinyang people." ”
Qin Lian's mouth was full of the local dialect of Jinyang City, which made Xiao Jinhua and Su Yan laugh at once.
Mu Yun and Mu Xin saw that Qin Lian had arrived in the yard and ran over together, "Mother Qin, look, is the snowman good?" ”
Qin Lian was still full of the local dialect of Jinyang City, "Oh, look at it, it's good." ”
Xiao Jinhua laughed and couldn't straighten up with a smile.
