Chapter 61: Fireworks
The nanny glanced at Yi Zeran from time to time, staring at the broken dumplings every time, and in order not to save his face, she only couldn't help but smile secretly.
It was Yi's mother who noticed her gaze, put down the dough in her hand and laughed.
Yi Zeran lowered his head and pinched the dumpling skin intently, raised his head to meet the three pairs of smiling eyes, and then lowered his head The dumplings in his hand revealed the cyan filling.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Yi Zeran swept around as usual, then put down the dumplings in his hand, turned around and walked to the sink to wash his hands.
Wash your hands, wipe dry, catch water, turn on the fire, a series of actions are done quite smoothly.
However, Xiao Luo, who was closest to the pool, still saw his reddened ears, which were more colorful than the small flames that had sparked.
The four of them made a lot of dumplings, some of which were cooked for lunch, and the other part was frozen directly into the refrigerator.
After eating dumplings, the nanny packed up her things and went home to accompany her children for the holiday, while Xiao Luo accompanied Yi's mother to stay in the kitchen to clean up vegetables.
Yi Zeran was sitting in the living room resting, listening to the sound of cutting vegetables and washing dishes in the kitchen, couldn't help but move in his heart, walked to the kitchen and suggested that one person make three dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Great proposal, Yi Mu's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she even moved a position to let Yi Zeran in.
"What kind of dishes are you going to make, you have to arrange this time."
Yi Zeran rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, "My dishes can be made in the end, I can help you with what you want to do." ”
Xiao Luo unceremoniously started to prepare first, her craftsmanship is not exquisite, and if she doesn't do it well, she will have a chance to remedy it.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to make two of H City's favorite dishes for the New Year, and the third dish was to stew pork rib soup, all lazy.
When it came to cooking the soup, Yi Zeran had already washed and cut all the ingredients she needed, and Xiao Luo only needed to use her hands to cook the pot.
Both dishes are very simple, but they can't help but look good and have a good meaning, and they are so happy that Yi's mother can't close her mouth.
Yi's mother made three local specialties in C City, with meat and vegetarian combinations, bright colors, and a thriving appearance in the spring.
Yi Zeran made a pastry, and the cooked ingredients were handed over to Xiao Luo for plating, and he made a dessert in a very good mood.
When the firecrackers sound outside, the dining room table is already full of dishes.
Mother Yi, who was on the main seat, looked at the two young people on the left and right, the smile on her face couldn't stop, and for a moment, she seemed to be back to the time when her marriage had not broken down.
At that time, the family was loving and loving, the father and son were filial, and life was happier than dreams.
Yi Zeran opened a bottle of red wine and stood under the bright light to pour wine.
The three cups collided together to make a crisp and pleasant sound, Yi Zeran looked at Xiao Luo on the opposite side gently, and raised his head to drink a big sip of red wine.
Outside the window, there were ceremonial flowers bursting, and the bright light illuminated Yi Zeran's whole face with light, which made people unable to take their eyes off, Xiao Luo looked at him in a daze, and a poem came out of his head, "Tonight, what night, see this beloved."
She was taken aback by her own thoughts, and even lowered her head to eat the dish, it was a steak fried by him, and the taste was even better than what she had eaten in a Western restaurant.
Xiao Luo chewed the beef a little numbly, and his head was chaotic.
After eating, Yi Zeran dragged out a bunch of small fireworks from the room, many of which were common small fireworks on the market.
"Let's go, I'll take you to set off fireworks."
Xiao Luo looked at the fireworks rising outside the window, a little hesitant.
Yi Zeran had already walked to the door and picked up the down jacket and scarf for her, and it was not interesting to excuse herself at this time.
Obediently dressed and tied a scarf, Yi Zeran on the side handed over a pair of gloves intimately, "It may be a little cold outside." ”
As soon as the door is opened, the night breeze blows directly on people's faces, it is indeed very cold, the flowers and plants in the yard are shaking, and the ears are full of the rustle of firecrackers and swaying.
Yi Zeran lit the biggest fireworks first, and then pulled Xiao Luo to stand under the corridor and look up.
Red flames burst into the sky and instantly exploded into huge fireworks, illuminating the entire villa with a crackling sound.
Xiao Luo raised his head and stared at the fireworks blankly, and his gaze moved to Yi Zeran's face.
All she could see from her was his smooth chin and the vague smile on his lips.
One by one, the fireworks rose into the air and finally fell completely silent.
Yi Zeran lowered his head, and there was a smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" He raised his hand and rubbed her fluffy head, "Why don't we play something else?" And many more. ”
Xiao Luo nodded, lowered his head and picked out a fairy stick, and trotted into the garden.
Yi Zeran lit a fire for her, and the two of them stood side by side by the flower bed watching the fairy stick bloom countless beautiful flowers.
"When I was a kid, I loved to play with this kind of fireworks, but once I accidentally splashed sparks on my clothes, and my newly bought down jacket burned a hole like that." Xiao Luo showed a look of chagrin, "Mother is very angry and refuses to buy me these things anymore." ”
Yi Zeran chuckled lightly and looked at her gently, "It's okay, I'll play with you in the future." ”
Xiao Luo turned his head and lit another one, "But I still secretly bought all kinds of fireworks and ran to the alley to play, once my mother happened to visit Grandma Liu's house at the alley, so scared that I hurriedly threw things away, and ran to the pine forest in front of me with a smoke." ”
There were fireworks in the distance, and the fairy stick in Xiao Luo's hand just burned out, "I didn't expect so many years to pass in a blink of an eye." ”
Yi Zeran handed her a new one, and when the flame flickered, he ignited the one in his hand by the way, and the two fairy sticks exploded at the same time.
The man lowered his head, and a faint smile rippled on his face, "It's the first time I've played with this kind of thing." ”
Since I can remember, my parents have been busy all day long, and sometimes I can't even see anyone during the New Year, and later, my parents got married, and my father took him directly abroad.
The biggest holiday of the year is Christmas, when the mall is filled with Christmas trees and white-bearded Santa Claus.
My father grew up in China and was busy with work, so I definitely didn't pay much attention to that kind of boring holiday.
As for the Spring Festival...... It will be very grandiose, but at that time he was like an outsider watching from the wall, coldly watching how his father and another woman loved and how happy.
Fireworks are also replayed, one Spring Festival he was noisy by the fireworks outside so that he couldn't sleep, opened the curtains and saw colorful fireworks blooming in the night, and at the same time the yard sounded the girl's crisp laughter.
He looked down and saw that the girl was wearing a small red padded jacket and a red round hat, and she looked like Santa Claus.
His thoughts turned, the fairy stick in his hand had already burned out, and a pile of wreckage had been placed beside Xiao Luo.
The little girl lowered her head and lit the fire slowly, without a hint of joy on her face, but watched with great earnestness as every star-like spark splashed out, her eyes as if she were participating in a pilgrimage.
Yi Zeran's heart suddenly softened.
