Chapter 9 Red Envelopes
"Mom! What are you talking nonsense? Chen Yang roared with a red face.
"Ahem! Mrs. Chen, when did I eat? Father Chen ran to the living room with a shovel and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Oh! That's for Xu'er to eat. Chen's mother said casually.
"Mom, what are you doing on me!" Chen Xu's eyes moved away from the mobile phone, staring at her mother helplessly, and the sister-in-law on the side blushed, and the blush on her face seemed to be redder than the half-turtleneck red cashmere sweater on her body. She half-squatted and pulled Simin, who was lying on the ground, to prevent him from crawling under the sofa.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this," Chen's mother didn't feel that what she had just said embarrassed several people, she waved her hand indifferently and continued, "The son of the old Cai family next door has brought a girlfriend back this year." Yesterday, you don't know, Lao Cai's horse face was smiling like a baked cake face, those small mung bean eyes, the cheerful light that flashed! It's as dazzling as that flash, and it's impossible to see. Xiao Cai is a year younger than you! That Gu Liang, I saw it, it's really good-looking, a small person, with Xiao Cai, who was not tall, it is really a good match. Hurry up and talk about it, or I'll make an appointment with those good sisters to have dinner with me in the next year, and there will be no topic to talk about. ……”
Chen Yang picked up Chen Simin, who was about to go under the sofa, and teased Chen Simin not to talk. If you talk about it, it's not chattering, then you have to scold! I'd better not ask for myself. Chen Simin was held in Chen Yang's arms, not quiet at all, his small body was like a loach, twisting around, pulling off, falling and pulling up,......。 Chen Yang was puzzled: Chen Simin's baby didn't know how his brother was born, with a special skin, tearing up toys and books, touching fish and teasing dogs,...... It's almost like the house to uncover the tiles, it's not like my brother when I was a child, when my brother was a child, he was like a little adult, he was serious about what he did, no matter what happened, every time my mother caught me and scolded me, I don't know how many black pots I carried.
Grandma, who was sitting on the side watching TV, couldn't hold it back. Grandma Chen said leisurely, "Okay, okay, maybe one day, Yang'er will bring you a granddaughter, when the time comes, don't be afraid." ”
It's okay that grandma doesn't speak, but when she does, the words that come out are quite scary.
Chen's mother immediately turned her face and stared at Chen Yang: Don't say it, there is really such a possibility, so many girlfriends, maybe which seed is missing?
Mother Chen had a mysterious smile on her face. It can be seen that Chen Yang's scalp is numb.
"Yangyang, you don't really have an illegitimate child outside?" Chen's mother couldn't help but ask.
Until now, Chen's mother and Grandma Chen still call Chen Yang Yangyang, which feels like a three-year-old child. After opposing it countless times, Chen Yang surrendered.
Bastard? Grandma's age, this kind of thing can be imagined. Mom actually felt that what grandma said was nonsense, as if it had already happened.
Mother Chen and Grandma Chen glanced at each other, and then they turned their faces in unison, looking at Chen Yang expectantly with wide eyes.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law on the side also turned their faces to look at Chen Yang.
"Mom, grandma." Chen Yang shouted helplessly, "Don't think about it, there's nothing." ”
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
Mother Chen and Grandma Chen sighed in unison, both showed disappointed eyes, and looked at each other again.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law looked at each other and laughed.
Chen Yang couldn't resist the eyes of several people, as well as their smiling looks, and hurriedly slipped into the kitchen.
Chen's father was busy in the kitchen. Chen Yang thought: If you three women don't come to the kitchen to help, no wonder you can't think about these things all day long.
"Cut the eggplant into hob blades." Father Chen instructed while stir-frying.
The ears escaped the torture, and the hands were no longer idle, Chen Yang lamented in his heart.
In the Chen family, until the thirtieth night's dinner, Chen's father personally cooked. Usually, the Chen family's meals are cooked by their own nanny, and when the New Year comes, the Chen family also gives the nanny's annual leave and asks her to go back for reunion. The dish made by Chen's mother, according to Chen Yang's statement: That dish is here to test our stomach, and if it is not tested, it is too light, it should poison our stomach. Therefore, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is Chen's father's business.
Chen Yang did not inherit his father's cooking skills, and he could only do it, but the knife work was still good, and the cutting was not cut into sections.
In one minute, the eggplant with the hob is sliced.
This is probably to make braised eggplant in oil, there must be garlic slices, Chen Yang thought to himself, so he took a whole garlic, pulled it open one by one, peeled it, washed it, cut it into thin slices, and set it aside.
"It's cut! What else to get? ”
"Go to the fridge and get two eggs. Hit it in a bowl for me. ”
Chen Yang took the eggs, washed them, peeled them, and stirred them......
Chen's father cooks in an orderly manner. It's completely different from the boss image in the company. It's funny to wrap around the little flower cloth apron.
The kitchen is busy, and there is Chen Simin in the living room, which is also very lively, probably, only Grandpa Chen, who is still in the study upstairs, is the cleanest.
……
Yinuo and Xu Ling are also very lively, sleeping until they wake up naturally in the morning, Xu Ling is responsible for pasting Spring Festival couplets, and Yinuo is responsible for picking vegetables, choosing vegetables, and cooking. Then, the two are in charge of tasting the delicacies......
"Yinuo, look, is the blessing sticker corrected......" Xu Ling stood on the chair and gestured.
Yinuo turned the gas to low heat, and the duck soup in the pot was slowly simmered.
Yinuo ran over, stood a meter away, took a closer look, and commanded: "A little down on the left, yes, yes, over, a little up." Yes, yes, yes, that's all. ”
Xu Ling ran up and down, jumping up and down, and was in a hurry for a while......
Yinuo went to the kitchen again, Xu Ling likes to eat abalone, Yinuo specially bought a few and prepared to eat them steamed. The abalone steames quickly, but the preparation needs to be done first. The abalone should be cleaned, chopped with green onion and ginger, and the juice should be seasoned......
"Yinuo, come and see, is this little lantern hanging here?" Xu Ling shouted at Yinuo again.
Yinuo turned around, probed the probe, looked at it, and nodded towards Xu Ling, "Hmm! Just hang there, and leave a few to hang on the tree of fortune. ”
"Great!"
The delicacy of the delicacies spread throughout the house, the emerald green branches reflected the red lanterns, and the lively music on the TV made the house much more festive, and the atmosphere of the New Year was born.
……
"Hey! The Spring Festival Gala is about to start, come and watch. ”
Xu Ling's eyes were fixed on the TV, and he waved at Yinuo again and again. The other hand was not idle, holding the potato chips and stuffing them into her mouth, looking at her like that, it seemed that she had not eaten dinner.
Yinuo nodded at her, said something to the phone, hung up the phone after a while, and walked over with a smile.
"Who are you calling?"
"A colleague from the company." Yinuo replied with a smile.
"Chinese New Year's Eve, still calling."
"Just say goodbye to the early years!"
……
Watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating a few large bags of snacks, Yinuo fell asleep halfway. These days, I am very tired, and I sleep in bed, probably because of pregnancy!
Later, Yinuo was woken up by Xu Ling.
"Wake up and Happy New Year!"
"Ahh Happy New Year! ”
Yinuo, who was shaken awake, was in a daze, the gongs and drums on the TV were noisy, the music was still lively, and the host's voice was still excited,......
"Yueyue, Happy New Year!" Xu Ling said mischievously to Yinuo's stomach.
Yueyue?
"Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!" Yinuo naughtily stretched out his hand to Xu Ling.
"Why! We're both the same age. "Xu Ling didn't do it.
"Hey, hey! It's Yueyue's red envelope, you have to hurry up when you act as a godmother. ”
Yinuo's hand shook in front of Xu Ling.
"You're too wealthy, aren't you? Yueyue is still in the stomach, and you start collecting money! Xu Ling had a ghost-like expression, and said in surprise.
That's not what I said. Although I Yueyue is still in my belly, she is a living person! Although, she's only a little older. Although people are small, they can't be missing red envelopes! You say, should you give this red envelope? ”
"You, you're too strong! This is a little big, she has a fist, and she is still in her stomach, does she know what a red envelope is? ”
Xu Ling glared at Yinuo and argued.
"You don't care if she's big with a fist or a little big, in short, she's Yueyue and your goddaughter. Hurry up, get so much salary, and give out a lot of bonuses, don't be stingy. Makes my daughter laugh. ”
Xu Ling had no choice but to take out his mobile phone from his pocket, shook his head, and said, "You are so blatant about robbing money!" I'll have to keep this evidence and show it to her when my goddaughter is born. Godmother was robbed of a lot of money by your own mother. ”
"Send it, collect it quickly, or I'll regret it."
Xu Ling muttered.
"I won't give you time to regret it."
Yinuo hurriedly clicked on the phone, and with a light click, the money arrived home.
Yinuo shook his mobile phone towards Xu Ling, and said with a smile: "We have two months of milk powder money in Yueyue!" ”
"Ahh Please let this robber disappear from me! Xu Ling howled, "I can only eat instant noodles for two months." ”
"As you wish, I'll flash it, Happy New Year, see you in the morning!"
"Happy New Year!" Xu Ling said weakly. "I'm going to get a good night's sleep and make up for my broken heart and broken wallet."
——
In the second year of junior high school, Xu Ling was driven away by Yinuo early in the morning.
Yinuo carried the gifts he had bought earlier and went back to his grandmother's house.
In the second year of junior high school, there were a lot of people in the car. Most of them are people like Yinuo who go to pay New Year's greetings, carrying milk, nuts, wine, cigarettes, etc. However, most of them are a family of three, or there are those who have just gotten married and have no children. Whether it is a newly married person or a family of three, they are all happy and lively, and the atmosphere in the car is a little lively. Yinuo sat in the back of the car, and a few people sat in twos and threes behind the car, which seemed a little deserted. If there is a keen mind, he will look at Yinuo twice. Yinuo pretended not to know and let them see.
In the future, there will be such a vision! But so what? I just have to live happily.
I looked at my phone for a while, chatted with Xu Ling, and looked out of the car window, the familiar road. The heart seems to fly back early.
Grandma doesn't know what's going on? Is it still that strong? Dad doesn't know if he's gone, and I don't know if he can meet him? It's been a long time since we've seen each other, maybe a year, right? Well! It's been a year, and last time, I met in a hurry during the Chinese New Year, and Aunt Shen urged him to leave. The father and daughter didn't say a few words, not to mention, they sat together and didn't know what to say. Because, since Yinuo's mother left, they haven't communicated well. Yinuo is in charge of grandma.
In the chaos of thoughts, the car arrived at the place. People were smiling and couldn't wait to get out of the car.
Yinuo was a little uncomfortable, perhaps because of his homesickness.
After getting off the bus, it took about ten minutes to walk.
Across the street, there are quite a few people on the street, all dressed in new clothes, with fashionable haircuts and happy smiles, strolling along the street or browsing the shops along the street. The little doll is playing with toys, the children are eating rock sugar gourds, the little sister-in-law is holding the young man and drinking milk tea, and the old people are looking around curiously behind them...... Pedestrians have a happy face.
"Yinuo is back!"
