Chapter 59: The New Year
It's Chinese New Year's Eve.
Yun Shifei went to the town to buy New Year's goods with the men in the village early in the morning, and in the afternoon, Shan Yueer and Xiaoxiao began to make dumplings, waiting for him to come back and eat dumplings together to celebrate the New Year.
This is the first New Year that Shan Yue'er came to this world, she kicked the shaker to put her children to bed early, while wrapping dumplings, smelling the fragrance of ylang-ylang flowers in the air, she said to herself: "These are the last few seeds, and I don't know if they can germinate!" ”
Xiaoxiao put down the rolling pin in his hand, glanced at the large bowl soaked in ylang-ylang seeds outside the window, and said deliciously: "The master cherishes this fragrant flower very much. ”
Shan Yue'er half-jokingly said: "This flower is gold and silver, but it is worth a lifetime, can it not be precious?" "I thought that Xiaoxiao would be as usual, funny and funny, and laugh past. I didn't want that little Nizi to have red eyes all of a sudden, and I was afraid that she would see it, and I didn't care about the flour on both hands, so I raised my hand and wiped it, and the flour was sticky for a while, like a cat.
Shan Yue'er sighed, held the shaker steady, patted the flour on her hands, stood up and went to get the towel, looked at the embarrassed little one, and said softly: "Such an adult, why do you still cry your nose at every turn?" ”
Xiaoxiao lowered his head, took the towel and wiped it indiscriminately, and then said in a muffled voice: "It's nothing, it's just smelling the fragrance of the flowers, remembering that my father and mother are here." ”
Shan Yue'er saw that although she stopped her tears, her eyes were still red, and she was a little distressed for a while, so she pretended to be relaxed and said: "It turned out that I was homesick, this is easy to do, this Yuquan Village is not far from Tanmen, I will accompany you back in a few days to take a look, okay?" ”
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, just nodded.
Shan Yue'er held her fleshy little face and coaxed: "We are small and a year older, I have to hurry up and give you Zhang Luo's house when I catch up with Ming'er." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's face turned red, slapped Shan Yue'er's hand, and said coquettishly: "People are sad, and the master is still joking with others." ”
Shan Yue'er went back to the basin to clean her hands, and said seriously: "Xiaoxiao, everyone will call me sister in the future, don't call me wrong." ”
Xiaoxiao stuck out his tongue and said, "Fortunately, there is no one now, only Xiao Zao'er is here." ”
Shan Yue'er snorted and said, "In the future, we will be sisters who depend on each other." ”
The two of them continued to wrap the dumplings, round and round, and soon filled with round bamboo strips.
The sun had set, and the water on the wood pot had boiled. Outside the street gate, the noise of cars and horses sounded, and the hearty voices of men.
Yun Shifei shouldered and carried a full of New Year's goods, pushed open the wooden door, and said loudly: "I'm back!" ”
As soon as he heard the sound of opening the door, Xiaoxiao jumped out in a puff of smoke, and when he caught up with Yun Shifei, the whole person suddenly became shy again, his face turned red, and he took the fat chicken and fat duck in Yun Shifei's hand, and said coquettishly: "I'll help you get it!" ”
Shan Yue'er looked out through the screen window, and saw the interaction between the two clearly, why didn't she understand Xiaoxiao's mind. It's just that she is a little unsure about Yun Shifei's attitude, and it seems that she has to find a time to have a good chat with him.
Yun Shifei handed her the red dress he bought for Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, and went back to the house to change clothes happily.
Shan Yue'er smiled, took the tiger head hat and tiger head shoes that Yun Shifei bought for Zao'er, looked at them, and said softly: "Brother Yun has a heart." ”
Yun Shifei took out the last cloth bag, took out a plum blossom hairpin inlaid with red stones, handed it to Shan Yue'er, and said, "I know that you must not be used to wearing coarse cloth dresses, so I bought this hairpin." Although this red plum hairpin is a country thing, it is still appropriate to wear it this year. ”
Shan Yue'er looked at the plum blossom hairpin held by him in his big hand and was stunned for a while, she knew that he had always treated her very well, but she still understood the meaning of the jewelry that this man gave to a woman. Therefore, she couldn't accept it casually, but if she didn't accept it, it seemed that she had disappointed him.
When Shan Yue was in a dilemma, Xiao Xiao had already changed his clothes and came out of the back room. Looking at the silent two people in front of her, she turned around happily in her new skirt and asked with a smile, "How is my dress?" ”
Shan Yue'er was relieved for a while, quickly took the hairpin in Yun Shifei's hand, inserted it in the small hair, took a closer look, and said: "The red skirt with the red hairpin, it's really a celebration to look at!" ”
Xiao Xiao raised his hand and touched the hairpin, and asked: "Is it plum blossoms on this hairpin, I remember that plum blossoms are my sister's favorite flowers!" ”
Shan Yue'er smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained as if unintentionally: "What I like is green plums, not red plums." ”
Hearing this, Yun Shifei's face darkened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it after all. Looking at the two smiling sisters, they finally felt as if they were a little out of place, so they just said: "It's not early, I'm going to cook the dumplings." ”
The white fat dumplings got out of the pot and floated up from the bottom of the water after a while.
It's just that this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because the three people have their own hearts, they are a little silent. Fortunately, Zao'er on the side cried for a while and laughed for a while, so that the embarrassing atmosphere in the air was not so strong.
Suddenly, a sparkling light streaked across the sky, illuminating the gloom of a room. Then there was a crackling sound, and it turned out that someone had already started to set off fireworks.
Shan Yue'er put down the dishes and chopsticks, leaned in front of the window to take a look, and said to Xiaoxiao: "Will there be fireworks here during the New Year?" ”
Xiao Xiao envy said: "Yes, in the past, Daddy would accompany me to the town to watch fireworks during the festival, but I didn't expect that there would be people in this small Yuquan Village who played this for fun." ”
Yun Shifei looked at Shan Yue'er's excited eyes and asked, "Want to go and see?" ”
Shan Yue'er thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head and said, "That's it, it's too late." If you catch the night wind in the morning, you will get sick. ”
Yun Shifei neatly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "That's it, I'll take care of it at home early, and you can take Xiaoxiao out to see!" Left and right tonight to keep a watch, go out to see for a while, don't worry. ”
Shan Yue'er pointed at Yun Shifei, then at Zao'er, shook her head and said, "No, no, how can I let you be a big man to watch the child!" ”
Yun Shifei feigned anger and said, "Why, can't you trust me?" ”
Shan Yue'er waved her hand and said: "That's not it, I just think you can't handle this little thing." As he spoke, he hugged his babbling son and kissed his little face.
Yun Shifei took over the morning in Shan Yue'er's arms very persistently, but he didn't expect this little guy to be particularly faceless, Yun Shifei just hugged him steadily, and Xiao Zao'er cried loudly.
Xiao Xiao made a grimace at Zao'er and said, "It seems that Zao'er still likes to hug my mother!" ”
In the end, Yun Shifei took Xiaoxiao to the entrance of the village to watch the fireworks, and Shan Yue'er stayed at home to accompany Zao'er.
It was late at night, and I went to bed early, but Shan Yue'er didn't feel sleepy.
In the moonless night, the fireworks in the night sky were particularly dazzling, and Shan Yue'er looked at the fireworks blooming in the dark night sky alone, thinking of every Chinese New Year's Eve spent with her father in her previous life, and suddenly, she missed the bad old man a little. Now that Yue'er is sleeping alone here, are you okay in the other world, that stubborn old man?
