Chapter 10 Returning Home for the New Year

Ruan Yu was fascinated by reading the book accidentally, and finally came back to her senses from the book, and looked up to see that Meng Jiayue seemed to have fallen asleep, she tried to scream a few times, but she didn't get a response.

"Meng Jiayue." Ruan Yu pushed him again, raised his hand to lift the corner of the blindfold, and when he saw Meng Jiayue's eyes closed, he let go of his hand and stood up cautiously.

Seeing that the alarm clock was already past nine o'clock, and if he didn't go back, he would be scolded, so Ruan Yu picked up the book and walked outside.

The desk lamp on the desk was still on, Ruan Yu turned off the lamp as quietly as possible, and turned off the lamp before going out of the room, and the room fell into darkness in an instant. Ruan Yu closed the door lightly, and as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw Uncle Meng standing behind with a cup of tea.

"Uncle Meng." Ruan Yu was so frightened that cold sweat came out, and she raised her hand and said hello stiffly.

Uncle Meng looked at her and suddenly smiled, and asked, "Is Jiayue asleep?" ”

Ruan Yu nodded: "Mm-hmm." ”

Uncle Meng turned around with tea and sat down on the sofa, and said to Ruan Yu, "It's so late, you should go home quickly!" Go back and tell your dad that I have a bottle of good wine from someone else, and remember to drink it when you come back. ”

"Okay."

Aunt Chen was not in the living room, Ruan Yu only thought she was going to sleep, just omitting to say hello and goodbye. Walked out of his house with a book in his arms, and stood in the corridor for a while before Ruan Yu took the key and opened the door nervously.

The lights were still on at home, and her parents had not yet slept, sitting in the living room watching TV. Recently, a popular period drama on CCTV is very popular, and her parents are also loyal fans, and they watch it every night.

"Where did you go? Came back so late. Ruan's mother asked as soon as she saw her.

"I'm going to Uncle Meng's house." Ruan Yu walked over and said to Ruan's father, "Dad, Uncle Meng asked me to tell you that he has a bottle of good wine from someone else, so you can remember to drink it." ”

Father Ruan was immediately interested when he heard this, leaned forward and said, "Lao Meng has a lot of wine, doesn't he usually drink alcohol?" Why did you change your personality today? ”

"Then who knows." Ruan's mother replied, and after speaking, seeing that Ruan Yu was still standing, she said, "Go back to the house and sleep." ”

Without being scolded, Ruan Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and happily turned around and ran back to the bedroom.

As soon as Ruan Yu entered the door, she saw Ruan Yue hiding something in a hurry, she didn't see it clearly, closed the door and asked curiously: "Ruan Yue, what are you hiding?" So mysterious. ”

"It's nothing, why do you care so much!" Ruan Yue sat up from the bed, with her long hair draped behind her, seeing that Ruan Yu was a little envious, she also wanted to have long hair.

Before going to bed, Ruan Yu suddenly thought of something again, and said to Ruan Yue: "By the way, can you borrow your MP4 from me to play?" ”

Ruan Yue waved his hand and said impatiently: "Put it on the table, take it yourself." ”

Ruan Yu didn't react a little, she thought that she would have to grind and soak for a while before she could borrow it, but she didn't expect Ruan Yue to agree so easily today, she immediately happily went over and took the MP4 over and played on her bed.

The closer to the end of the year, the more I feel that the air is filled with the festive atmosphere of the approaching Spring Festival, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Ruan Yu and her mother went to the street to buy New Year's paintings, similar stalls can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street, in addition to the New Year's paintings, there are red lanterns, red firecrackers and other hanging decorations, a large area of prosperity.

Ruan Yu stood under the shed playing with the tassels of red lanterns hung by others, and her mother bought New Year's paintings, Spring Festival couplets, hanging thousands, window flowers and other things, and turned her head to call her.

"Mom, how about buying a lantern and hanging it?" Ruan Yu asked, pointing to the lantern above his head.

"There's nowhere to hang." Ruan's mother went over to give Ruan Yu something to take, looked at the lantern carefully, thought it was very good-looking, turned her head and looked at the ornament with a string of red firecrackers hanging next to it, and asked the boss: "How can this be sold?" ”

The boss came over to say the price, and Ruan Yu took the opportunity to run away with his things. The stall was set up in front of a bookstore, Ruan Yu entered the bookstore, and saw the discount notice hanging in the store, she went over to look at it, and selected two books, one is "Essays for Primary and Secondary School Students" and the other is "Chinese Idiom Stories".

She got a perfect score in mathematics in the final exam, but because she didn't write a good composition, she only scored 85 points, and she pulled a lot of points at once.

"Yu, what are you doing in someone's bookstore?" Ruan's mother came over with two strings of red firecrackers, saw that she was reading, took it and flipped through it: "Look at it as a paperwork?" ”

Ruan Yu nodded and said, "Mom, can you buy it for me?" The store is discounted, and two copies are half price. ”

Ruan Yu also knew that her mother might not necessarily buy other books if she wanted to buy them, but books that were helpful for studying, such as composition papers, were not expensive, and Ruan Yue and Ruan Kangming could also read them, so her mother would buy them for her.

Sure enough, I heard Ruan's mother say, "Okay, I'll buy it for you." ”

The next day, Ruan Yu went to Meng Jiayue and returned the "One Thousand and One Nights" that he had borrowed before. happened to see Aunt Chen cutting window flowers, which seemed to be the same, so she didn't immediately go to Meng Jiayue and went over to have a look.

"Xiao Yu, do you want to try cutting it?" Aunt Chen saw that Ruan Yu was very interested, and took out another pair of scissors from under the red paper and handed them to Ruan Yu.

Uncle Meng laughed out loud in the back, and was glared at by Aunt Chen, and immediately turned his head and pretended not to see it.

"Come, Xiaoyu, you see, first fold the paper like this, and then use scissors to ......" Aunt Chen demonstrated to Ruan Yu, and a piece of red paper was folded into a fan shape in her hand.

Ruan Yu compared her to get it, the position of the scissors and the shape of the cut were the same, and when the red paper was unfolded after the final cutting, Uncle Meng couldn't help but laugh.

Aunt Chen's cut can barely be seen to be a window grille, not to mention the tattered, and when she unfolded it, she also broke the lines of the window grille, and it was not the same. Although Ruan Yu's cut is simple, it can be seen that it is a window grille, and the lines cut are very smooth, which is much better than Aunt Chen's.

"Mom, you're cutting the window grilles again." Meng Jiayue came out of the room, and when he saw the window flower in his mother's hand, he immediately smiled like his father, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ruan Yu's cut again, and praised it: "It's not bad." ”

Ruan Yu immediately looked up and smiled at him, handed him the window flower, and said, "Here you go." ”

"I'm not going to cut it." Aunt Chen pushed the things in front of her, got up and went to the kitchen, and after a while, a voice came from the kitchen: "I ate dumplings this morning, mutton filling, Xiaoyu, you also stay to eat." ”

Ruan Yu replied: "No need, my mother also makes dumplings today." ”

"Coincidentally, they all eat dumplings, so I won't keep them." Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen and said to Uncle Meng, "Come in and help me chop the dumpling filling." ”

Uncle Meng answered and went to the kitchen to help, only the two of them were left in the living room, Meng Jiayue beckoned to Ruan Yu: "Come here." ”

Ruan Yu obediently walked over and was dragged by Meng Jiayue to his bedroom. As soon as Ruan Yu entered, he found that there seemed to be something wrong, his eyes scanned around, and found that something was wrong, the bed sheet and the quilt cover had changed, but it was similar to the previous color, it was all blue, and he really couldn't find it if he didn't pay attention.

"Meng Jiayue, why are your sheets and quilts all this color?" Ruan Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "The pajamas are also blue, and so are the woolen coats." ”

Meng Jiayue was squatting down to take something from the cabinet, and said with a smile: "What color can it be if you don't want blue?" I can't use orange, purple, or pink like you! ”

While talking, he grabbed a bundle of tight books from the cabinet and put them on the table, making a "bang" sound, which startled Ruan Yu, and stretched out his head to see what he was getting, but saw Meng Jiayue put the book on the table and didn't move.

Ruan Yu asked, "What kind of book is this?" ”

"You're going back to your hometown tomorrow, aren't you?" Meng Jiayue went outside and took a pair of scissors back to Ruan Yu, motioned for her to cut the packing belt, and said, "Take it apart and take a look." ”

"We're leaving early tomorrow morning, and we should be back home by noon." Ruan Yu said as she took scissors to cut open the neatly bound plastic packing belt, and opened the paper of the wrapper, and saw that there was a full set of comics of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".

"Wow!" Ruan Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Meng Jiayue rubbed her head and asked her, "Give you a New Year's gift, do you like it?" ”

"I like it." Ruan Yu nodded violently, couldn't wait to take a copy and flipped through it in his hand, and suddenly remembered again: "I didn't prepare a New Year's gift for you, Meng Jiayue, then what do you want?" ”

Meng Jiayue didn't answer her, but asked, "When will you come back from your hometown?" ”

Ruan Yu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the sixth year of junior high school, because my dad has to go to work on the seventh day of junior high school." ”

"That looks like it's going to take a week."

"That's right! Aren't you going back to your hometown? ”

"I don't have a hometown." Meng Jiayue sat down on the bed, patted the position next to him, and asked Ruan Yu to come over, he continued: "I don't have grandparents, and there seem to be very few relatives or anything, and they are basically my mother's relatives, such as uncles and aunts. ”

"I'm a bunch of relatives." Ruan Yu counted with her fingers: "My second grandfather, second grandmother, third grandfather, third grandmother, my sister-in-law, aunt in the lobby, aunt in the second cousin, aunt in the third cousin, and a bunch of aunts I don't know, then uncle in the lobby, uncle in the second cousin, uncle in the third cousin, then my grandfather, grandmother, grandma, grandma, my uncle in the lobby, uncle in the second cousin, uncle in the house, uncle in the little uncle, and a bunch of uncles I don't know, my aunt ......"

"Alright, alright." Meng Jiayue's head grew when he heard this, and he hurriedly pressed Ruan Yu's hand down.

Ruan Yu looked at him puzzled, scratched his head and said: "I actually have a lot of brothers and brothers, sisters and sisters, but they are not relatives, and I have basically never seen them, and some of them don't even know their names, but I heard my grandparents say it." ”

"You're really ......" Meng Jiayue sighed, and couldn't help but laugh again.

Ruan Yu was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Nope." After Meng Jiayue finished speaking, he took out a chocolate from his pocket, uncovered the outer layer of golden tin foil, and fed it to Ruan Yu, "Wine heart chocolate, you can taste it......

"It's spicy!" Ruan Yu covered her mouth and her little face wrinkled, and she didn't dare to taste the taste so she swallowed it directly, and then stuck out her tongue and said to Meng Jiayue vaguely: "This is not delicious." ”

Meng Jiayue apologized: "My fault. ”

"Do you want to drink yogurt?"

Ruan Yu nodded and said that she wanted to drink, and Meng Jiayue went outside to get a box, and inserted a straw before handing it to her.

Ruan Yu drank half of it in one go, and then relieved himself and said, "It's different from what I used to eat, no, I'm going to try it." As she spoke, she reached out and took out another wine chocolate from Meng Jiayue's pocket.

"Do what?" Meng Jiayue leaned over to take a look.

"Look what it's like inside."

Ruan Yu peeled off the chocolate, revealing the black ball inside, she drew a line with her fingernails along the middle part, and then broke it hard, "poof", and the wine splashed, just spraying on Meng Jiayue's face. Ruan Yu screamed in fright, her hand shook, and she accidentally pinched the entire chocolate, and the transparent liquor inside flowed into her hand.

"I'm sorry." Ruan Yu didn't care about his own hands, pulled the toilet paper on the table, and hurriedly tore two sheets for Meng Jiayue to wipe his face.

"It's fine." Meng Jiayue's face splashed a little, wiped it off after a few wipes, he grabbed Ruan Yu's hand and looked at it and said, "There are chocolates all over your hands, you can't wipe it off, go wash your hands." After speaking, he grabbed Ruan Yu's wrist and took her to the bathroom.

There was a loud clatter of dumpling filling in the kitchen, so it was impossible to hear the movement here. Meng Jiayue pulled Ruan Yu to the sink, turned the faucet to the hot water, waited for the water to be hot, grabbed her hand and soaked it, squeezed some hand sanitizer and rubbed it open, until Ruan Yu's hands were white and tender before returning to the house.

"Don't play with chocolate next time." As soon as he returned, Meng Jiayue gave an order.

"Okay." Ruan Yu replied in a muffled voice, and her mouth was pouting, and she could hang a soy sauce bottle.

Ruan Yu woke up at about six o'clock in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, looking down from the bed, Ruan Yue was still asleep, it was estimated that she would not wake up for a while, she lightly got off the bed, changed the new clothes that had been prepared long ago, and then went out of the house.

Ruan's mother had already gotten up and was packing her things, Ruan Yu went to the bathroom, but Ruan's father was brushing her teeth, and after a while, she went to the living room to help Ruan's mother pack her clothes.

The suitcase has been filled with most of the clothes, the winter clothes are thick, and they are full after a few pieces, and it is not a few days after going back this time, Ruan's mother mainly brings the clothes that have been changed inside, such as sweaters, autumn clothes and pants, underwear and the like, but these are all packed up last night.

Ruan's mother was folding her and Ruan's father's pajamas, which she didn't put in yesterday because she was still wearing them, and she barely stuffed one set in the suitcase, and the other set really couldn't fit in, so Ruan's mother took a big bag like the one in a clothing store.

"You put these two coats in a bag." After Ruan's mother finished talking to Ruan Yu, she went to Ruan Kangming's room, and when she came out, she took a pair of pants and stuffed them into her pajama bag.

Ruan's father came out after washing his face at this time, and Ruan Yu hurriedly went in to wash his face and brush his teeth.

When she came out, she helped take out some of her mother's skin care products and other things, and went to the kitchen to pack some seasonings, sausages, mushrooms, melon seeds, sugar, snacks, etc. that she bought a year ago, and then carried them to the living room. It was already getting bright outside, Ruan's mother went to call Ruan Kangming and Ruan Yue up, and the New Year's couplets were also taken out and put on the table, and asked the three of them to post them.

Ruan's mother and Ruan's father carried things downstairs and loaded them into the car, and when the things were taken down, the New Year's pictures at home were basically pasted, and the two strings of red firecrackers that Ruan's mother bought were also hung on both sides of the quartz clock at home.

Before leaving, Ruan Yu took the motion sickness medicine to prevent further motion sickness, and when he went downstairs, he passed by Meng Jiayue's house, Ruan Yu saw that there was no New Year's picture on the door, thinking that he should not have gotten up yet, and the time was only more than seven o'clock.

When the family got into the car downstairs, Ruan's father drove off and returned to his hometown at nearly twelve o'clock in the morning.
