Chapter 20 Keeping the New Year
"What are you thinking?" Chu Chenxi looked towards Hua Mian seriously. He wasn't angry, just anxious. Chu Chenxi knew Huamian for the past few years, how could he not know that he had slept fast and heavy after taking medicine, when he would be able to fall asleep after taking a bath for a while, and he didn't even know if the water was cold.
Hua Mian's pale thin lips pursed slightly, knowing that Chen Xi would guess, but he didn't plan to hide this matter from him, but before he could say it, he groped towards the inside of the bed and took out a jade bottle, which Hua Mian brought back from the study of the General's Mansion.
"I went back to the General's Mansion and got this back"
Chu Chenxi turned his head to look, "Isn't it just a white jade bottle, what are you doing with this?" ”
Huamian rubbed this bottle carefully, and his voice was slightly hoarse with joy, "No one has been to the General's Mansion for so many years, I found it in my father's study, everything is covered with dust, only this one is clean, the bottle is a birthday gift from my mother to my father, the ginkgo biloba and maple leaves on it are painted by me and my brother, Daddy's special baby this bottle, said to be like our mother, usually put it in the bedroom and don't take it out, for fear of breaking"
Chu Chenxi understood, Hua Mian had been looking for the truth of the year, and he had never given up looking for his brother, although he didn't know if he was still alive, "It's good to be alive, you can definitely find him"
Huamian has never been a strong woman, in her previous life, she was admitted to medical school from an orphanage, an ordinary surgeon, and Huamian who came through is a child who will only be spoiled in front of her parents, more fragile and insecure than others.
Chu Chenxi left, went to dispense medicine for Huamian, Huamian ate some things and fell asleep, the corners of Huamian's mouth were smiling, he dreamed of a family reunion, and he was very happy.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Hua Mian was ordered not to leave the room until she was completely cured. On this day, Huamian was finally released.
"Yunfei and Fengxiao should come back," Hua Mian asked lazily towards Chu Chenxi in the sun.
Chu Chenxi continued to eat the jerky in his hand, chewing and saying, "It should be there" as he spoke, he reached out and took another one and handed it to Jin Yu on the side, Jin Xuan and Ze Qian have always been mixed together these days, Jin Yu has pulled his beautiful brother to play when no one is playing, and he has played well with Chu Chenxi these days, and the two foodies always have a common topic together.
Jinyu has been raised more than once in the past few days, and Huamian especially likes to pinch Jinyu's little face, which feels really comfortable.
"Daddy, godfather, I'm back" A small figure jumped to Huamian's side, hugged Huamian's neck, rubbed and rubbed.
"Whew....." A wolf roar suddenly came, which frightened Jinyu and hurriedly hugged Chu Chenxi's arm, "There is a wolf"
"Xiaoha" Huamian's gloomy voice sounded.
"Huh" The wolf seemed to let out a low roar of grievance, and then lay at Chu Chenxi's feet and did not move.
Four years ago in the winter, Hua Mian was rushing home from outside to celebrate the New Year with Chu Chenxi, Hua Mian held the hand stove and shrunk on the carriage, her body couldn't help the cold and weak in the winter, Hua Mian, who was originally groggy and was attracted by a child's cry, where did the cry come from in this wilderness, "Feng Xiao, stop, go and see where the cry came from"
After a while, Fengxiao came back with a three- or four-year-old boy and an ugly puppy in the boy's arms, "Childe, this child doesn't know whose family, he fell into the pit, this child only said that he was thrown by someone, and the others didn't want to say more, this ice and snow, I will bring him over"
Hua Mian looked at this yellow-faced and thin-skinned child who was not an exaggeration to say that he was a little beggar, and felt like he was in his previous life, "Bring him in, if no one really wants it, it's good for me to keep it."
Later, Hua Mian named him Hua Ximo, nicknamed Cola.
As for the ugly puppy, it was picked up by the child. Later, Huamian learned that it was a dog, and it was clearly a little wolf cub, and later Huamian felt that this wolf was really stupid, so she named it Xiaoha.
"Hey, who's this?" Cola curiously pointed at Jinyu and asked towards Huamian.
Hua Mian dragged Coke off him in disgust, "Jinyu, I'll live with you in the future"
Coke was happy when he heard it, "Oh yes, finally someone is playing with me" pulled up Jinyu and walked like his own yard, and beckoned to Xiaoha by the way, "Daddy, godfather, I'm going to play with Jinyu, remember to call me when you eat dumplings for a while"
The two children ran away.
Hua Mian looked at the two little kids who ran away, and sighed, "It's so fast, this little kid has grown so tall."
Chu Chenxi looked at his back, and a deep thought flashed in his eyes: "Are you going to tell him about Coke's life experience?" ”
Hua Mian shook her head, "Not now, when he has the ability to deal with those ghosts, tell him, let him decide for himself"
"Pavilion Master, Deputy Pavilion Master"
"Pavilion Master, Deputy Pavilion Master"
"Pavilion Master, Deputy Pavilion Master"
Feng Xiao, who walked in from a distance, Yueli and Yunfei saluted Huamian and Chu Chenxi together. Every time you celebrate the New Year, no matter where you are, you will definitely return to Huage for the New Year.
"It's all back," Hua Mian said to the three teenagers in front of her.
Yun Fei looks like a little white face, there is no copper smell of a businessman at all, and he is a scholar who has been holding his precious folding fan in his hand, but don't be deceived by this non-lethal appearance, this person is a big killer. Holding the folding fan and patting his palm, "Pavilion master, last year, the deputy cabinet master lost a lot of money in mahjong to repay the debt, and the cabinet master this year the deputy cabinet master still pays the debt, you have to take care of it."
"That's it, it's just that the deputy pavilion master really can't rely on his debts anymore this year," Feng Xiao said with added fuel and vinegar on the side.
Yueli nodded matter-of-factly, quietly took a step back, and agreed with a face.
"Yunfei, Fengxiao, Yueli" Chu Chenxi gritted his teeth and shouted word by word, "When did the master repay the debt, you guys are itchy."
Saying that, he clenched his hands into fists and attacked the three of them, Yueli hurriedly smeared his feet with oil and slipped away, Yunfei waved a folding fan to dodge, and shook his head and sighed, "Oh no, I'm angry."
Hua Mian looked at the three of them in a mess funny, it is usually difficult to get together, and it is good to fight.
In the middle of the night, Chu Chenxi clapped his hands at the two who ran away, "Hmph, sample" stretched his waist and looked at the sky that was not early, "Master will give you a hand, let's make dumplings together"
Huamian raised her eyebrows, remembering the dumplings, "Let's go."
In the kitchen, "Uncle Li, let's make dumplings" Chu Chenxi shouted into the kitchen before he entered the door.
"Young Master Chu, playboy, I know that you are coming to make dumplings, and the meat foam and dumpling skin are ready" What came out was a neat and neat uncle in an apron in his fifties.
"Uncle Li, you are busy with yours, this year there are a few more people to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, make more delicious food" Hua Mian smiled at Uncle Li.
Uncle Li patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, the dude is guaranteed to be delicious, then you can make dumplings and ask me if you need it."
Hua Mian and Chu Chenxi cleaned their hands, Hua Mian seasoned, Chu Chenxi and the stuffing, the two of them were very skilled in pinching dumplings, and they chatted with each other.
At the dining table, Hua Mian didn't like too many rules, and sat very casually, the table was very large and there were many people sitting, including Chu Chenxi, Cola, Fengxiao, Yueli, Yunfei, Jinxuan sisters and brothers, and Zeqian.
Hua Mian looked at the person on the table and asked, "Weng Lao is still in his own courtyard."
"Weng Lao said that he didn't like the excitement, so he couldn't come in the yard," replied the little fox who was standing nearby.
"Little fox, remember to send dumplings to Weng Lao, you don't have to wait here, you can also go to eat"
The little raccoon bowed and retreated.
"Wow, that's so good"
"So Rich"
Jinyu and Coke swallowed their saliva in unison.
Chu Chenxi has a big chestnut for one person, "a little out of luck, it's okay"
The two little ghosts rubbed their heads together and looked at Hua Mian sadly.
Hua Mian rolled her eyes and looked at Chu Chenxi, are you a foodie?
Chu Chenxi didn't see it, and said with a smile, "It's all a family, there are not so many rules, move chopsticks and chopsticks" said and went to grab a dumpling first.
Hua Mian picked up the chopsticks and knocked down Chu Chenxi's chopsticks, and then took care of himself and put a dumpling in his bowl, and Yun Fei, Fengxiao and Yueli on the side, with a smile on their faces, all stopped and went to pick up the dumplings.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the dumplings made by the two pavilion masters themselves, eat them once a year"
"Jinxuan eat quickly and give Ze Qianji, if you slow down, it will be gone"
"The two pavilion owners are so delicious"
The chopsticks of the three of them were like they were on fire, only dumplings, and Jinyu and Zeqian, who were originally sitting on the table, were no longer restrained.
Jinxuan picked one up and put it in Zeqian's dish, and then put it in her own bowl.
Chu Chenxi was in a hurry, and hurriedly picked up the plate and shouted, "Don't grab it, it's all the master's."
Coke, who was sitting next to him, picked up one from the plate and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, and then stuffed another to Jinyu, and the angry Chu Chenxi jumped to his feet and threatened, "Coke, you kid wait for me"
"Daddy, daddy, godfather snatched my dumplings," Coke shouted to Huamian.
Hua Mian shook her head funny, "Don't rob it, there are still a lot of tubes"
Everyone was full of wine and food, Yunfei set up a mahjong table, beckoning people to rub mahjong, only the five of them came in turn, and one hundred taels lost all the substitutions.
Coke pulled Jinyu to the yard to set off fireworks, Ze Qian's eyes remained unchanged and did not participate in the quiet tea tasting and keeping the New Year, Hua Mian was not much interested in playing and sat with Ze Qian to taste tea, Jinxuan was idle, and came to Chu Chenxi and a few people to look at it strangely, this thing has never been seen before.
"Stop, stop, the master touches himself haha, the two dark rods, all touch themselves, give money to money" Chu Chenxi spread out the cards and laughed evilly.
"The account that came last year has arrived," Yunfei shuffled his hand, and said breathlessly without changing his face.
Feng Xiao and Yueli nodded on the side, joking that it is not one, two, two, two or two to lose in this game.
These people are not people who are short of money, playing with money is pure fun, who is in charge of Yunfei The silver ticket in the hand of the commercial building is like a snowflake, but this person is really
"Pick the door, pick the door" Chu Chenxi looked disgusted, "If you arrive, you will arrive, continue"
The impact of the mahjong shuffle, the shouting of several people, the crackling fireworks in the courtyard, Hua Mian especially liked the peace and happiness of this moment, slightly closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, hugged the stove in his hand, and enjoyed the joy of this moment.
Chu Chenxi stopped playing, and went to play with Jinxuan, sitting next to Hua Mian with his eyes closed and leaning on the back of the chair, he was sleepy.
After all, Cola and Jinyu are two children, and they go back to their rooms to sleep when they are tired from playing.
Feng Xiao didn't know when he stopped mahjong, and several people sat quietly and drank tea. The whole lobby was quiet, Hua Mian couldn't hear the sound, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Chenxi sleeping soundly on the side, and then saw Feng Xiao and a few people sitting on the side drinking tea, and Jinxuan and Zeqian muttered something together in a low voice.
Rubbing his stiff neck, he looked out the door, "It's all too late, let's go back to sleep."
Hua Mian pushed everyone back and pushed Chu Chenxi, "Wake up, wake up, go back to sleep"
"Ah, well, I'll go back to sleep" Chu Chenxi rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked towards his yard.
