"A little to the left, no, a little bit up, left, left...... A little to the right...... Well, this is it! ”

"Then I posted it!"

Dai Shikai stood on tiptoe and stepped on the bench, under Lu Qing's gaze, he carefully pasted the paper cut in his hand on the window, and finally picked up the newspaper in his hand and wiped the fingerprints on the glass clean.

"That's it." He clapped his hands with satisfaction, and jumped directly from the chair without Lu Qing's support. When he wore it, he wore comfortable wool slippers on his feet, a pair of light blue jeans, and a loose red sweater on his upper body, which looked very homely.

"Don't be happy too early, there are still Spring Festival couplets that haven't been posted." Lu Qing walked to the center of the living room with a large pile of New Year's goods, looked at Dai Shikai, whose face collapsed instantly, and said: "Who told you to get up too late, you have to post Spring Festival couplets early in the morning." He looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning after finishing the cleaning, and he couldn't help urging the other party: "Hurry up, I have to finish it all before twelve o'clock, and I haven't bought any gifts, the supermarket closes early in the afternoon, so we have to go shopping quickly." When the time comes, I can't go to your house empty-handed to eat and drink. ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, my parents don't need you to buy so many things." Dai Shikai tilted his head, took the New Year's goods from the other party's hands, and under Lu Qing's urging, posted other Spring Festival couplets.

A color called red is dyed with joy. With the embellishment of these New Year's goods, the originally spacious and deserted home has suddenly become a lot warmer.

Lu Qing and Dai Shikai hurriedly finished decorating their room, and cleaned the living room and even the door.

Dai Shikai has always been indifferent to these little things, even if he lives alone, his life is very rough, except for his mother occasionally coming to help clean up the house, cooking and cooking, how can he make do with it on weekdays. And Lu Qing's personality is the opposite of him, probably because he lost his parents at a young age, Lu Qing's ability to survive independently is stronger than many boys.

"You can't sweep the ashes out of the door, or you'll sweep away the blessings." Lu Qing snatched the broom from Dai Shikai's hand and carefully swept the dust into the corner. He attaches great importance to these folk customs in his bones, and even lives a very serious life.

Seeing that the other party was so attentive and seemed to be full of hope for a better future, Dai Shikai originally wanted to take out a vacuum cleaner to refute the other party a few words, but after seeing the concentration in Lu Qing's eyes, he also dispelled this idea stupidly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.

"Brother Qing, you have to wear it in a prosperous way during the New Year, so that it is festive enough. You're not going to go to my house in white, are you? Dai Shikai leaned on the sofa and teased.

When Lu Qing heard him say this, he stopped what he was doing, took a serious look at the white sweater on his body, and nodded: "It makes sense, I'll go change clothes, you can also clean up, let's go out to shop early." ”

"What are you eating, I haven't even drunk saliva since I was busy in the morning......" Lu Qing ignored Dai Shikai's miserable sales, went back to the house, opened the wardrobe, and turned out a new outfit. These clothes were prepared by Dai Shikai's mother for the two of them early, and the scarves and down jackets were specially purchased by Dai's father from abroad, which were light and warm. Over the years, the second elder has treated himself like his own parents. Lu Qing's hands rubbed the fabric, and his heart was full of emotion.

Today's streets are exceptionally deserted, many shops have closed early, and the entire road is clean, and every house is decorated with lights, and there is no hustle and bustle of the past. Occasionally, there are a few firecrackers, and naughty children on the roadside are in groups of three or five, lighting firecrackers to play in front of their homes. Occasionally, when someone passes by, they cover their ears with a frightened expression, making people think that a firecracker is about to be ignited and exploded.

"Dead little ghost, dare to scare your grandfather, believe it or not, I'm going to buy a string of firecrackers and throw them at your house, your mother doesn't know the ...... when they blew it up" Dai Shikai let go of the hand covering his ears, and after realizing that he had been fooled, he walked over angrily.

When several children saw that he was coming, they laughed and scattered, and Lu Qing, who was watching, couldn't help but laugh.

He walked on the street, listening to the New Year's Divine Comedy on both sides of the road, "Congratulations on making a fortune, congratulations on your wonderful", calmly watching the others in high spirits, carrying large bags and small bags one by one, like triumphant generals, walked out of the supermarket.

Lu Qing likes this atmosphere, likes such joy, likes such calmness, and likes the feeling that others are in a hurry, but he is still at ease.

"Ding Dong" doorbell rings.

Fireworks were set off outside the window, and the Spring Festival Gala on TV was already halfway through. The woman in the middle of the year has flour on her hands, and the wooden cane in her hand rolls the white and soft dough neatly, and the husband on the side skillfully rolls up his sleeves, first puts the skin flat on the palm of his hand, and uses chopsticks to put the meat filling in the middle of the snow-white dumpling skin. The opposite side of the dumpling skin is pressed together, and then a lot of beautiful lace is pressed, and a round and chubby dumpling is pinched.

After hearing the doorbell, the woman dropped the rolling pin in her hand with some excitement, not only her, but the middle-aged man on the side couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the originally beautiful dumplings in her hand were also pinched.

However, they did not care about this, and the woman's flour-stained hands rubbed a few times on her apron, and then she hurried to the door and pulled it open.

However, the person imagined by the second elder did not appear, and the young man in his twenties stood at the door. He was wearing work clothes, his face was red from the cold, but he still showed a polite smile: "Hello, X East Express." Here is your package, please sign for it. ”

"Okay, thank you." Wang Chuanxiang took the courier in the man's hand with some loss and signed absentmindedly. At the end, she came back to her senses and said to the young man, "I'm sorry for you, young man, I'm still working for the New Year, why don't you go back for the New Year." ”

"It's okay, my family is out of town, I didn't buy a ticket this year, I went to work on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the company gave me more." The courier smiled innocently and said to the second elder: "I still have a job, so I won't delay you two." ”

"Hey, slow down. Young man, it's not easy to celebrate the New Year, you take this. Wang Chuanxiang returned to the house, regardless of the other party's objections, and put a red envelope in his pocket: "If you don't have much money, you want to be happy." ”

"That'...... Just thank you uncle and aunt. I wish the second elder a happy new year and a good year! The courier was a little at a loss, he took the red envelope blankly and solemnly, looked at the kind husband and wife in front of him, bowed deeply, and then left.

Wang Chuanxiang looked at the back of the other party leaving, and his eyes were red again unconsciously.

Chen Ming sighed and said to his wife, "Come in, it's cold outside." Wang Chuanxiang wiped her tears and choked up: "This kid reminds me of Ah Shuo...... I've been away from home for two years, and I don't know if he's doing well. ”

"Don't cry, isn't this sending us something?" Chen Ming's nose was a little sour, and he couldn't bear to affect his wife: "Let's go, go back and take it apart to see what Ah Shuo bought for us again." ”

Hearing him say this, his wife cried even more sadly: "This child has been away for a few years, and he has to avoid being wanted, where did he get so much money." I'm afraid that he will go astray and go further and further......"

Chen Ming didn't feel good in his heart, and he also knew what his wife was worried about. Since her son was killed by mistake two years ago and became a wanted criminal, his wife has been in tears every night. In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the second elder received a gift from Chen Shuo, and since then, every once in a while, Chen Shuo will always try his best to send some condolences and money home, but he never shows up.

Just then, the doorbell behind him rang again.

"Maybe it's the guy just now, I'll take a look." After Chen Ming instructed his wife, he came to the door alone.

When he opened the door, he found that it was not the courier just now, but a man wrapped tightly up and down.

"May I ask ......," Chen Ming asked tentatively, and at the same time became alert. On Chinese New Year's Eve, dressed up so sneaky, it shouldn't be some ill-intentioned people. Just as he took a step back and was about to close the door, the man suddenly raised his head.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Under the brim of his hat, Chen Ming saw a pair of eyes that were reddened with forbearance.
