Chapter 7 Red Envelopes and Rice Balls
Chinese New Year's Eve to Lunar New Year is the most anticipated moment for every Chinese person, because it represents home and reunion.
By the time the two of them came back to their senses, Xiao Jinghan had already left.
No one knows when he left, or why he left without saying goodbye.
Su Min didn't see others, she didn't know how happy and happy she was, she grinned and smirked.
Wang Zicheng didn't know that she was jealous, thinking that it was the New Year's atmosphere in Chinatown that made her so happy.
As long as you don't want to go home, don't cry.
He looked at her and couldn't help laughing, his crooked eyes full of affection.
"Zicheng, it's New Year's Eve, where's my red envelope?" Su Min held a pair of hands, looking expectantly at the young man next to her who was half a head taller than her.
Her eyes were full of eagerness, and she didn't know if her boyfriend would give her this New Year's wish.
Wang Zicheng pretended to be serious with his hands behind his back, "I haven't met anyone who stretches out his hand to someone like this to ask for red envelopes, and he doesn't even say a word of auspiciousness." ”
He deliberately puffed up his face and pretended to be angry, but those smiling eyes betrayed him.
Su Min's face was slightly embarrassed, and he withdrew his hand in embarrassment, lowering his head and thinking for a while.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she happily congratulated Wang Zicheng, "Wishing you prosperity." ”
After that, a pair of hands spread out and continued: "Bring the red envelope!" ”
Wang Zicheng couldn't hold back, laughed directly, and shook his head helplessly, "I really can't help you." ”
After speaking, he leaned over and kissed Su Min lightly on the cheek.
His speed was very fast, and a burst of numbness came out, which made Su Min stunned for a moment.
After a long time, she came back to her senses, clenched her hands into fists, gently knocked on Wang Zicheng's chest, and said shyly, "You are so bad!" ”
"Are you satisfied with this red envelope? I want it too! Wang Zicheng happily stretched out his handsome face and waited for his own "red envelope".
Su Min looked around shyly, she saw that the people around her, as if no one had noticed them at all, hesitated, and finally kissed them.
The people who photographed them before naturally recorded this moment, and they were shy and sweet in the camera screen, which made people inexplicably excited.
When Su Min was still shy, Wang Zicheng smiled and took out a red envelope and shook it in front of her eyes as if he was playing a trick.
Su Min smiled, and hurriedly took it, "Thank you, thank you, old ......"
Before the word "board" could be spoken, Wang Zicheng glared back, and she stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Wang Zicheng smiled and took her hand and continued to walk around Chinatown with her.
It is said that happy times are always short-lived.
But for Su Min, the life she has experienced seems to be spent in happiness.
Looking at the young man in front of him, his heart is even sweeter, as if the world is a honey jar.
And Wang Zicheng, although his childhood was miserable, hid himself under hard work, allowing himself to have a touch of coldness. But from the moment he met Su Min, he changed, became very happy, and began to show his nature.
For him, indifference has always been a disguise.
Before I knew it, it was approaching dark, and the two of them were still getting carried away.
If they weren't hungry, they would have kept shopping.
"Minmin, what do you want to eat at night?" Wang Zicheng took her hand, felt the temperature of her palm, and asked softly.
"Hmm......" Su Min thought for a while, then stared at a pair of big eyes, looking forward to Wang Zicheng, "I want to eat cake!" ”
People only look forward to eating cake on their birthdays, but Su Min didn't say why, maybe she just suddenly wanted to eat cake.
"But according to custom, we should go and eat glutinous rice balls!" She seemed to remember something again, lowered her head and muttered about eating rice balls.
In this foreign country, people's concept of China is more about dumplings, and almost no one knows about glutinous rice balls.
So Wang Zicheng was a little embarrassed, this cake is easy to find, but the rice balls are not easy to find.
Tangyuan, for them, is the sustenance of their hometown and their parents. Because on their side, from the beginning of the catastrophe four hundred years ago, tangyuan has meant reunion.
Every year on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, my mother would cook a pot of rice balls to start the New Year's expectations.
Su Min's favorite is her mother's homemade brown sugar peanut filling, which is crushed and softened with brown sugar puree.
The stuffing is sweet and sweet in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless.
Thinking of this, Su Min couldn't help but swallow her saliva and missed her mother's dumplings.
It's just that she is abroad now, and she can only think about it.
"Why don't we try our luck at the restaurant at noon?" Wang Zicheng glanced at the time in his hand and felt that it was still early, so he made this proposal.
"Hmm!" Su Min responded happily, feeling that Wang Zicheng's proposal was very good, because she knew that the Sichuan people also had this custom.
I don't know if they were too lucky, or too coincidental, but they really let them guess correctly.
Although the store did not sell rice balls, the owner was kind enough to order them two bowls.
The shopkeeper is an uncle who laughs a little silly, and his gray hair reminds Su Min of her father.
"Kid, eat!" The fat uncle put down the two bowls of hot rice balls and left the shop, maybe he still has important things to do!
Looking at the white and chubby rice balls in the bowl, Su Min was very happy.
She took a gentle bite, and the liquid brown sugar instantly slid into her mouth, and the sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.
"It's delicious!" Although it is not as delicious as my mother's homemade filling, it is already the greatest satisfaction to be able to eat glutinous rice balls in a foreign country, not to mention that it is really delicious.
Although the shopkeeper instructed the waiters not to take their money, Wang Zicheng still left some red envelopes, which can be regarded as some thoughts for the shopkeeper.
After that, Su Min and Wang Zicheng left the Sichuan restaurant hand in hand and walked aimlessly on the streets of New York.
"Zicheng, why don't we go back?" After a moment of silence, Su Min slowly spoke.
She didn't trust New York at night, so she offered to go back.
Wang Zicheng glanced at the time, nodded, and pulled Su Min into the taxi.
Neither of them spoke along the way, Su Min looked at Wang Zicheng, not knowing what he was thinking thoughtfully, maybe he was thinking about his family.
Back at the hotel, looking at the empty room, Su Min felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
They came to the United States to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Hamilton College in New York.
But because of Su Min's sudden fever, the itinerary of the two people had to be changed.
Thinking of this, Su Min felt guilty in his heart.
I don't know what he's doing in the room, if he's as boring as me......
Su Min lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, recalling what had happened today in her mind.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she frowned slightly and sat up, "That Xiao Jinghan ......"
As soon as he thought of this person, Su Min was a little angry, and subconsciously felt that this Xiao Jinghan was a little threatening to him.
Now in this world, you have to worry not only about the female junior, but also about the male junior.
Thinking of this, Su Min couldn't help but sigh, "I'm thinking about something!" ”
"Ding~" mobile phone has communication information access.
