Chapter 208 [Flower Street]

The winter in Lucheng is warm, the temperature is the same as the autumn in Lake City, neither cold nor hot, and there is not much rain, so there are a lot of people who come here for the New Year, and the streets and alleys near the New Year are lively and extraordinary, and many people from other places settle down because of the good weather here.

Because it was the first time he came to Lucheng, An An thought about taking him out for a good walk. Father An went to a large supermarket alone to buy New Year's goods, and walked home with two plastic bags slowly. This family has not been so popular for a long time, he has always lived here alone, and the kitchen rarely fires, and he is too lazy to go home and eat again, and he usually goes home after eating in the unit. In the past, he would not stay here during the New Year, and every family was a day of reunion during the New Year, even if the voices of people could be heard through the wall, it was really uncomfortable, so he would go to his hometown to celebrate the New Year with An'an's grandmother, and this time because An'an and regeneration were coming, he stayed in Lucheng.

An'an and Regeneration stayed in the city center until the afternoon, then moved into the department store.

"Shall we buy something for your dad?"

"I don't know, it's the first time I've done this kind of thing, I don't understand."

"It's my first time, too!" Regeneration laughed.

"Why don't you call and ask your mother?"

"Forget it, if you ask her, she doesn't know, let's take care of it ourselves!"

"My dad likes to drink, you can buy two bottles of wine for him!"

"Okay, that'll do too!"

"In addition, if you see what is delicious, you can buy some and go back, it is really good, it is a waste of money to buy some things that you don't need!"

"Okay, you can buy whatever you want, anyway, I don't know what your dad likes to eat, I can't buy it and no one wants to eat it."

"Then you're welcome!"

"Anyway, my money is yours, you can spend it as much as you like!"

"Consciousness is very high!"

An'an and Regeneration also returned with a full load in the end.

When I got home, as soon as I entered the door, Father An said, "Why are you buying all these things?" ”

Reincarnate carried the things into the living room and replied, "We didn't buy anything." ”

"This is for you!" An'an handed two bottles of wine to his father.

"Why are you wasting money on such expensive wine!"

"I didn't buy it, I said it must be."

"You came back just in time, how about you come and taste my marinated pork belly." Father Ann turned around and went into the kitchen as he spoke, and Regeneration and An An followed in.

An An pulled out a pair of chopsticks, pinched a piece, turned around and stuffed it into the regenerated mouth, and then also clamped a piece for himself.

"Is it salty or not?"

"Not salty!" An'an said, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

"Well, it's delicious!" Regeneration also said.

"Then take a bowl and eat a little!" As he spoke, Father Ann took a small bowl and filled it with a bowl and handed it to Regeneration, "Do you want a bowl?" ”

"Well, one bowl is enough!" Regeneration said.

"You guys have eaten and posted the Spring Festival couplets I bought!" Ann's dad said.

"You also bought Spring Festival couplets?"

"Of course, the Spring Festival couplets should be used for the New Year, otherwise what is the New Year?"

"What kind of stickers, is there any glue?" Anan asked.

"You can eat it later, just use rice grains, what glue do you want, I will use rice flour to make a paste later."

An An remembered that when he was a child, his grandmother also boiled it in a pot, and every time it was time to paste the Spring Festival, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. At that time, An'an was looking forward to the Chinese New Year the most, because there could be new clothes, new shoes, and a lot of colorful candies. After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, I would not go to bed very early, so I set off fireworks with my friends in the village, and I didn't go to bed until almost after twelve o'clock.

Before going to bed, I will put new clothes and new shoes on the bed, and my grandmother will put two pieces of candy in my shoes, and when I wake up on the first day of the new year, I must eat the sugar in my shoes first, and then I can say the first word, which can mean that everything will go smoothly and sweetly in the new year. The first day of the new year must be new from head to toe.

At that time, the smell of the New Year was particularly heavy, the sound of firecrackers in the village was all day, and the New Year was a big day to celebrate all day, of course, the New Year's money was the favorite for An'an. But every time the New Year's money An'an didn't take it himself, he handed it over. When she heard Rose say that her New Year's money had been filled with piggy bank, An'an was always very envious, because her piggy bank was always empty, and occasionally there was a twenty one, but she wouldn't use it even if she put it for half a year.

"Take it!" Father Ann interrupted An An's thoughts.

Regeneration took the small bowl from Ann's father.

"Beware of a bit hot!" Ann's dad said.

An'an and Regeneration took the couplet and went to the door.

"Which one sticks to the left?"

"Of course, it's from right to left, this one, this one is on the left. Let's stick it horizontally first! ”

"It's my first time!" Regeneration said with a smile: "I used to see couplets during the Chinese New Year when I was a child, but they were all posted by my parents, and they have rarely been pasted in recent years, at most a blessing word!" ”

"yes, it's the first time I've posted it!"

Regeneration stood on the stool, and An'an stood from a distance and watched, "The left side seems to be a little taller!" ”

"Huh?"

"A little down to the left!"

"Is that so?"

"It's too low, go up a little more!"

"So?"

"Okay, almost!"

After pasting the couplet, the two of them sat in the living room and turned on the TV, waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"After dinner, we'll go to the flower market."

"Today?"

"That's right."

"Is there anyone selling flowers on Chinese New Year's Eve?"

"A lot! I've been there once before, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, it only lasts for three days, it's very lively, haven't seen a hundred flowers bloom in the New Year, right? ”

"Not really!"

"It's the first time you've been so far from home, I guess!"

"You guessed it!"

"I'll have to go to a lot of places in the future."

"That's it! I'm the one who took you, okay? ”

Although it is only a three-person year, it is the happiest for An'an, because it is the first time to celebrate the New Year with Rebirth.

"Do you want to eat here?" Ann's father walked out of the kitchen with the food.

"Okay, let's put it on the coffee table, and we'll all sit on a small stool so we can watch TV."

"Get me a mat!" Father Ann stood aside with a hot soup.

An Shore hurriedly ran into the kitchen to get the mat, and Regeneration also got up to help serve the food.

"Wow! Got so much to eat? It's all my favorite food. ”

"Don't you like to eat? Enough for you! Father Ann smiled and said, "Today is a mouse falling into the rice tank!" ”

An An pouted, took the chopsticks and handed them to Regeneration and her father.

While eating, Father An said: "When I see people buying chickens and ducks during the Chinese New Year, I think of you, and you don't come back!" This sentence seems to be said to An'an, and it seems that he is just talking to himself.

An An suddenly didn't know what to say, so he didn't respond, buried his head in eating, and thought: It's so annoying, obviously every time I come back, I scold me, and I don't give me a good look, what does it mean to say such things? Do you want me back? Why don't I want to come back? But Dad's temper is like this, and the two of them quarrel every time, and they are really tired.

An An subconsciously glanced at him, he was indeed a lot older, there were several wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his hair was much less, sparse, and his nose suddenly became sore.

"This is delicious!" Regeneration added a chicken foot to An'an, "This is particularly delicious, you can taste it!" ”

"Oh!" An An squeezed out a reluctant smile and took the chicken feet, which diverted his attention from thinking.

After dinner, the three of them went out and came to the periphery of the gymnasium, where the flower market formed a circle around the gymnasium, and the road was crowded with all kinds of flower shops.

"From the left or from the right?" Anan asked.

"Whatever you want!" Regeneration said.

"It's okay, anyway, let's go around along Flower Street and come out again, there are still many shops in the square." Father Ann said, "If you fancy the flowers you want to buy, buy them!" ”

"We didn't plan to buy flowers, and I can't support them!"

"Why don't you come to the flower market to buy flowers? I'm going to buy some and take them back, you guys help me get them!" ”

"Okay, no problem."

Along the way, all kinds of rare and colorful flowers dazzled both Regeneration and An'an, only Father An looked for the flowers he loved over and over again, and introduced them over and over again, phalaenopsis, azaleas, peonies, narcissus, peach blossoms...... There are even many precious varieties of flowers.

The flower market has become a vegetable market, all kinds of cries and sales, the sound of buyers and hawkers bargaining is endless, some flower shops are in front of the tourists in an endless stream, the shops are blocked tightly, you can't see the situation inside at all, and some shops are much colder at the door. An'an doesn't join in the excitement, only stopping in front of the deserted shop, sometimes asking about the variety of flowers, but never asking about the price.

"If you like it, buy it!" Regeneration said.

"I like them all, do I buy them all?" An An tilted his head and smiled at Rebirth.

"Aren't you going to see your dad?" Regeneration asked.

"Let him go, he will naturally call me when he buys it, and we will see ours. My dad likes to crowd a lot of people, I can't stand it, but I'm glad you're here. I used to go to the flower market with him, I went shopping alone, I would be depressed to death with him, I didn't like the flowers he liked, I liked the beautiful colors, but he always felt that the flowers I looked at were worthless or something. ”

"It's okay, as long as you like it, I like it! Buy whatever you like! ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"But when we buy it, it's not easy to get it when we go back."

"You don't have to take it back!"

"Huh?"

"The most important thing is to like it."

An'an stood in front of a pot of bright chrysanthemum, a strong bright yellow flower center, the petals are pale yellow, and occasionally one or two more petals are pink and white, such a color scheme is too fresh and natural.

"What kind of flower is this?" Anan asked.

"This is Margaret, which young people have loved lately!"

"I want this pot!" Regeneration said that even if An An didn't speak, he had already seen a slow love in An An's eyes.

An An didn't refuse, walked over and squatted in front of the flower pot to take a closer look.
