Eighteen years after the New Year's Festival of the heat slowly declined, Changxinglou after more than half a month of rest also started to sing again, twenty-two days, in the early spring twilight of the drizzle, with the spring breeze after the rain to moisten the face, Qiao Shengping pulled the young grandmother to Changxinglou to listen to the play.

The sixth son and Shen'er did not accompany each other, only Qiao Shengping and the young grandmother, the shoes stepped on the slightly wet stone slab and brought up a little moisture, along the way the two of them walked forward by themselves, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, I was anxious for Qiao Shengping, how could he chase his daughter-in-law like this!

I still remember that the fifteenth lantern will come back, Qiao Shengping's decadent stupidity, I took a lot of effort to persuade him, you don't say anything on the surface, how can you make the young grandmother believe you! Sure enough, men are stupid asses!

Although Qiao Shengping has always been busy chattering these days, I see that his spirit is recovering well, the only thing that makes me feel unhappy is that he often doesn't take me out these days, I asked him why he didn't take me and he said that I was in the way, I wondered, I upheld the creed of listening more, watching more, interjecting less, how did it hinder him?

This morning, Qiao Shengping said that he wanted to invite the young grandmother to dinner, and the young grandmother must vacate the time of the evening, and the young grandmother had to agree to the headache he annoyed, and in the afternoon Qiao Shengping threw me into the study and slipped away by himself for a long time, I was itchy like a chicken feather, and I especially wanted to know what he had done with me behind my back for half a day, especially when the atmosphere between the two of them was weird, I was more curious.

On the official seat on the second floor of Changxing Building facing the platform, not long after sitting, Liuzi and Shen'er held a food box. That girl is at most respectful and polite to Qiao Shengping on weekdays, why is there more of a girl's taste of spring today? Bah! Bah! Bah! I'm talking nonsense, at most, it's not so alienated, it's not close! It's not close!

Liuzi and Shen'er put down the food box, tacitly glanced at each other and then withdrew from the official seat, a curtain was blocked in front of the official seat, in this small world, I was suddenly shocked in my heart, Qiao Shengping has been busy in the afternoon, it won't be this dinner!

Qiao Shengping got up and walked to the side of the food box, I was still thinking about what Qiao Shengping was going to do, but I found that his ears suddenly turned red, "Yimei, on the day of the beginning of spring, I wanted to cook a spring banquet for you alone, but I was clumsy, and I couldn't do it after studying for a long time, today, I made a spring banquet for you in my own way." ”

"Spring plate should cut three lettuce, spring swallow slanted hairpin Qibao hairpin" Lichun has been opening a spring banquet on this day for a long time, but according to my observation in the past 200 years, there are actually very few people who are still setting up spring banquets in Lichun, Qiao Shengping, a young master who never cooks, will definitely not be able to make spring rolls and other dishes, he is afraid that this spring banquet will not be on three plates of lettuce!

Qiao Shengping rubbed his hands, I saw that he was both hesitant and excited to lift the lid of the food box, and when he took out the first 'dish', I raised my eyes and saw not Cuishengsheng's lettuce, but full of red beans and peanuts, it was a bowl of acacia red bean porridge that was not very bad, the red beans were round, full but not torn, I couldn't help but move in my heart, such a bowl of porridge, I don't know how many red beans Qiao Shengping wasted to boil well, after all, the red beans will crack when the fire is big, and the fire will definitely not be cooked if the fire is small.

I went to see a few peanuts dotted in the porridge, the peanuts are selected red-skinned peanuts, from the red clothes tightly wrapped in peanuts, it is not difficult to see that the peanuts should be put into the porridge after the porridge is boiled, I was thinking about why Qiao Shengping made such a bowl of porridge, I heard Qiao Shengping say: "This is the first course, 'a lifetime of lovesickness buried in the soil'." ”

After speaking, Qiao Shengping took out the second layer of spring rolls, it was the first time I had seen such spring rolls, the thin roll skin was sandwiched with green green onions, and inside were the inch-long toon sprouts that had just grown, Qiao Shengping put the spring rolls next to the red bean porridge, he said, "This is the second course, 'Ersheng lives up to spring'." ”

Maybe it was because the words had been spoken, Qiao Shengping's voice was no longer as nervous as it was at the beginning, I took back my eyes and looked at Qiao Shengping, who was wearing a green green dress from a young grandmother in his eyes, like a full of stars overflowing in the night.

"You? What are you going to do with this......" The young grandmother's voice was very soft, she turned away from the two dishes on the table, this was the first time I saw the young grandmother so overwhelmed, and it was many years later that I realized that it might be the first appearance of a girl's love. In my eyes, the young grandmother has few words, but she has always been decisive and straightforward, and it is rare to see such a thing at this time.

"There's one last one, you wait for me to finish introducing it."

The last dish is lotus seed cake, lotus seeds are cored and peeled, boiled in honey water are soft and rotten, added to cooked glutinous rice and mashed into a puree and then formed in the mold, Qiao Shengping took out this dish of lotus seed cake is six small boats with two sharp ends, the middle depression is carved into the shape of the side of the cabin, in the cabin is a handful of light green lotus seed tender core, I quietly looked at these almost transparent sticky glutinous pastries, thinking, it must be very sweet.

"'Three lives on the other side of the same boat', the third is lotus seed cake, although the lotus seed is bitter in the heart, it is the best material for making pastries, I put the lotus core cut out on the pastry, I only hope that even if the reincarnation of the bitter sea can also go to the sea with Yimei into the Lechuan River."

When I heard Qiao Shengping's sentence "Go to the sea together", I looked at the lotus core on the pastry, for some reason, a bronze mirror that I didn't have a heart to give birth to the resentment of living and dying together, like the bitter life of the lotus core, because of the same boat and full of sweetness, I think, this is what Qiao Shengping wants to say!

A lifetime of lovesickness buried in the soil,

The second life lives up to the spring,

Three lives on the other side of the same boat,

Enter the Lethe River and go to the sea together.

This is really a unique spring banquet, a lifetime of lovesickness is a sincere portrayal of Qiao Shengping, three lives in the same boat is Qiao Shengping's eternal promise, and living up to the spring is Qiao Shengping's true wish in this life.

The young grandmother still lowered her head and did not speak, it took a long time for her to pick up the bamboo chopsticks in front of her, her first chopsticks picked up the last plate of lotus seed cake, watching the young grandmother eat the pastry in the mouth, I seem to be able to imagine the bitterness and sweet taste, is the superposition of plainness and happiness.

Qiao Shengping picked up the second toon spring roll and gave it to the young grandmother, "I hope that in this life, I will live up to the spring." ”

The young grandmother's chopsticks stopped next to the spring rolls picked up by Qiao Shengping, and Qiao Shengping and I were quietly looking forward to the infinite spring.

At this time, in this suddenly silent air, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded on the stage in front of the curtain, Qiao Shengping got up and hung up the curtain in front of the official seat, I looked along the stage, the curtain on the stage was tightly closed, and a group of butterflies and flowers were sung behind the curtain.

"The front of the Jade Tea Hall is full of twilight,

The color pen is handsome and handsome.

Mo Dao has nowhere to complain,

Peony Pavilion on Sansheng Road ......"

Qiao Shengping took me off from his body, handed it to the young grandmother with his purse, and said, "Yimei, I will make a play of "Looking for Dreams" for you today, and I will trouble you to watch it for a while. ”

After speaking, Qiao Shengping went to the backstage on the second floor, I knew that he was going to play a role, I lay in the palm of the young grandmother's hand and looked at the stage, Xiao Peony had already been on the first scene, and after "Garden", I went to Qiao Shengping's "Dream".

At this time, the young grandmother was stunned, I could see that she had many words that had not been spoken, through the curtain on the stage that had been raised, through the silent beating of the weaving flowers, but I felt that two hearts were gradually approaching the drum and jumping, with the pink delicacy on the face, a big scene was about to be staged.
