Chapter 13 Lantern Festival

Meng Jiayue's expression remained unchanged, she only glanced at Ruan Yu lightly, and she didn't dare to scream anymore, but then Ruan Yu looked at Meng Jiayue with a deflated mouth and an aggrieved face, tears were about to flash in her moist eyes, and she wanted to beg him to be kind and not to confiscate the snacks.

You must know that most of Ruan Yu's snack sources are Meng Jiayue, so if Meng Jiayue confiscates her snacks, it means that Ruan Yu has no snacks to eat in the past three days.

"Meng Jiayue ......"

"Reason."

Ruan Yu was suddenly interrupted by him, and was stunned for a moment before he stumbled and said, "Snack...... Only...... It is...... Delicious. ”

"That's all?" Meng Jiayue was about to be amused by her, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost didn't bend up.

"Meng Jiayue." Ruan Yu squatted down and looked up at him, and said pitifully, "Please, don't confiscate my snacks, okay?" ”

It's a pity that Meng Jiayue ruthlessly refused: "I want a reason." ”

Ruan Yu instantly lowered her head, she just couldn't find a reason to say that. was depressed, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, Ruan Yu blinked his eyes and said flatteringly: "Then can I advance snacks?" How about bringing in any snack for any day in the future, and then reducing those three days to two days? ”

"Which day?" Meng Jiayue was not so easily fooled.

Ruan Yu wrinkled her face and thought about it, feeling that she didn't seem to be willing to do anything one day, and finally drooped her head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Look at you so pathetic." Meng Jiayue held Ruan Yu's face and raised it for her to look at herself, and smiled: "I'll give you a chance." ”

"Do you know how to play chess?"

Ruan Yu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes." ”

Meng Jiayue got up and took out a chess set from the bookshelf, opened it on the bed, and said, "You go first." ”

Ruan Yu had just watched Meng Jiayue play chess, and he was 100% sure that he couldn't play him, and as soon as the chessboard was opened, he regretted that he had agreed so hastily, but when he thought that this was his only chance, he could only bite the bullet.

As a temptation, she took the first step to go first.

Meng Jiayue moved the car almost as soon as she withdrew her hand, Ruan Yu also walked the car than him when she saw this, and then almost Meng Jiayue moved whatever Ruan Yu wanted, and then she lost.

Ruan Yu's chess is also the level of knowledge, playing chess with Meng Jiayue, she basically loses completely, she loses an average of one game every five minutes, and has already lost twelve games in a row after just playing for an hour.

"I'm not down." Before the thirteenth game began, Ruan Yu gave up first, puffed out his cheeks and looked at Meng Jiayue sadly and said, "You are too powerful, I can't beat it." ”

"Snacks?"

"Don't." Ruan Yu turned her head away with a distressed expression, wanting not to care.

Meng Jiayue smiled, reached out and pinched Ruan Yu's face, and asked, "You always know backgammon, right?" ”

Ruan Yu looked back at him and nodded with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was going to do, obviously she had already lost chess, why was she playing backgammon again?

Meng Jiayue flipped out a pair of backgammon and smiled: "This is simple, you don't think you can't play me, right?" ”

Ruan Yu listened to him, thought about it again, and felt that this was an opportunity, her backgammon was much better than chess, and she had a big chance of winning, anyway, as long as she won Meng Jiayue, her snacks would come back. He immediately said, "Okay! Play backgammon. ”

Not long after the backgammon game was played, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, Meng Jiayue said that he came in, and saw Aunt Chen push open the door and said to Ruan Yu: "Xiaoyu, your mother came just now, saying that she didn't see you so late, and asked you to go home quickly." ”

Ruan Yu chuckled in her heart, her face turned white with fright, and she finally found her voice: "Where is my mother?" ”

"I let her in and she said she was boiling water and wanted to go back and see, so she went home." Aunt Chen smiled again and said, "Xiaoyu, go back quickly, come back to Jiayue tomorrow to play, and Auntie will make you onion rings to eat." ”

Ruan Yu subconsciously looked at Meng Jiayue.

"Mom, I'll send her back." Meng Jiayue put the chess pieces still in his hand back into the chess box, got up and walked a few steps, and put the pen case on the desk into his pocket without a trace when talking to Aunt Chen.

"Auntie, I'm leaving." Ruan Yu got up to say goodbye and went out after Meng Jiayue.

The sound of closing the door lit up the sensor light in the corridor, and the miserable white light pierced Ruan Yu's eyes, she grabbed Meng Jiayue's hand, and looked at him with red eyes: "I'm afraid." ”

This is the first time Ruan Yu has been personally approached by Ruan's mother, with her mother's temper, it will definitely be a disaster to face when she goes back, and it is certain that she will be scolded, and she will be beaten if she doesn't do well. Ruan Yu has personally experienced the feeling of being beaten by her mother more than once, only with her hands it is still light, and the more serious ones are belts or high heels, and several times she was so painful that she couldn't cry.

"There's me." Meng Jiayue patted her hand, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.

Ruan Yu licked his dry lips and took out the key to open the door, but was stopped by Meng Jiayue, who stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a long while, the door opened from the inside, and it was Ruan's father who opened the door, and as soon as he saw Meng Jiayue, he immediately smiled and said, "It's Jiayue, fast forward, fast forward." ”

"Dad." Ruan Yu shouted from behind, followed Meng Jiayue in, and asked carefully, "Where is my mother?" ”

There was no one in the living room, it was estimated that they were all in their own room, Ruan Yu was not sure what her mother was doing at this time, she was afraid that Meng Jiayue would only see her mother when she went back, and she didn't know what to do when she was alone!

"Applying a mask in the house! It won't get better for a while. But you don't remember to go home when you go out to play, and you have to ask your mother to call you to come back, and it's troublesome for Jiayue. After Ruan's father finished training Ruan Yu, he turned his head and said to Meng Jiayue again: "It's troublesome Jiayue." ”

Ruan Yu's heart suddenly lifted, but she heard Meng Jiayue smile and say, "That's not the case, Uncle Meng." ”

"I asked Ruan Yu to go to my house." Meng Jiayue said: "When I met her in the community in the afternoon, I said that she would come to me after dinner, because the manuscript I submitted to the magazine was accepted, and it happened that the article was written by Ruan Yu and me, so I wanted to thank her in person." ”

"Contribution?" Ruan's father was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It was Ruan Yu and I who wrote an article that was hired." Meng Jiayue looked at Ruan's father's excited face, took out the fountain pen that Ruan Yu gave him from his pocket, handed it to Ruan's father and said, "This is the prize given by that magazine, I already have a fountain pen there, let's give this one to Ruan Yu!" She also said before that she wanted to practice calligraphy. ”

Ruan Yu looked at Meng Jiayue with a confused expression, when did she say that she was going to practice calligraphy?

"It's good to practice calligraphy!" Ruan's father took out the pen and put it in his palm to look at it carefully, and didn't forget to say: "Xiaoyu's writing is not as good as Jiayue's You, if she writes an article to submit, people probably won't read it." Since she wants to practice, I'll buy her a calligraphy book to practice when I go back. ”

Meng Jiayue looked at Ruan Yu with a smile, and no matter how reluctant Ruan Yu was, he could only echo: "Okay! Father. ”

Ruan's father nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, Jiayue, don't bluff me, Xiaoyu's Chinese composition for the final exam was not written well, how could I be hired to write an essay with you?" Did you write it all? She uses her mouth to work hard, Jiayue has a good heart, but what she writes can't be attributed to others. ”

"Ruan Yu's writing is not bad, but it is very unstable, I am not lying, Uncle Ruan."

Meng Jiayue went home without saying a few words, Ruan's father personally sent him to the door, and when Ruan's mother came out after applying the mask, he had been gone for a while, and Ruan's father was discussing with Ruan Yu about her practice of calligraphy in the living room.

Ruan's mother saw that there was no one and asked, "Jia Yue is gone?" ”

"People are gone early." Ruan's father continued.

Ruan's mother sat down on the sofa and sneered while massaging her face: "It's not a shame to stay at home in the middle of the night and ask me to call if you don't come back, hehe~ If people don't say it on the surface, they won't say that you don't have eyes in their hearts?" No matter how old a person is, he doesn't have a brain. ”

Ruan Yu shrunk her neck and looked at her father.

"Oops! Just now Jia Yue said that he called Xiao Yu. Ruan's father held up the pen to show Ruan's mother, and said, "Look at this pen, it was given by the magazine." Xiaoyu and Jia Yue wrote an article together and was hired by other magazines, and this pen was the prize. ”

Ruan's mother immediately vented most of her anger when she heard this, but she still glanced at Ruan Yu and asked in disbelief: "When did you write an article with Jia Yue?" ”

"Years ago."

Ruan's mother took the pen, put it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and said to Ruan Yu: "In the future, remember to find Jiayue to learn more, see how powerful people are!" I was the first in my grade, and I didn't know how much I got from the school bonus. I heard his mother say that he had already paid for his manuscript every month when he was in the fourth grade, and this time you wrote an article with him, and you actually got a Lingmei fountain pen, hundreds of them! ”

Ruan Yu looked at the pen and thought, how much money does not need her mother to say that she knows how much, she originally bought it.

"Mom, pen." Ruan Yu reached out to her mother to ask for a pen, and as soon as she got the pen, she immediately got up and said, "I'm going to sleep." ”

The next day, Ruan's father came back from work and brought a calligraphy notebook and handed it to Ruan Yu to let her practice calligraphy. Because she was still on vacation, Ruan Yu had nothing to do, so she planned to practice calligraphy in the afternoon, but she found that she didn't buy ink when the pens were taken out, and hurriedly ran downstairs to the supermarket to buy it, and when she came back, she saw Ruan Yue playing with her fountain pen, and the pen shell and ink absorber had been removed.

"What are you doing?" Ruan Yu snatched the pen from his hand and glared at Ruan Yue with an angry face.

"What's wrong with playing with pens? And it won't break, cut, fuss. Ruan Yue clasped her arms in her hands, leaned back on the sofa, and said nonchalantly.

Ruan Yu said angrily: "That's my fountain pen, do you agree to play with it?" ”

"Cut~" Ruan Yue stood up with a disdainful face, and turned to Ruan's mother's room, Ruan Yu heard her voice coming from inside: "Mom, I want Ruan Yu's fountain pen." ”

After a while, Ruan's mother came out of the house, and when she saw Ruan Yu, she said to her, "Xiaoyu, can you give your pen to your sister?" I'll get it for you later. ”

"Why should I give her my stuff?"

Ruan Yu was also angry, angry that Ruan's mother only listened to Ruan Yue's words and gave her own things, which was unfair, so she ran out of the house and shook the door with a roar, and went to Meng Jiayue.

But in the end, Ruan Yue didn't get the pen, because Ruan Yu went to her father to tell her, and the result was that Ruan Yue was reprimanded by Ruan's father, crying and locking herself in the room for a night without eating, and then giving Ruan Yu a look.

Afterwards, Ruan Yu and Meng Jiayue talked about this and asked him: "Although it was wrong for her to play with my pen without my consent, but she was reprimanded by my father and cried, which is quite pitiful, do you think she will hate me because of this?" ”

Meng Jiayue knocked on her head and said, "Does she hate you, what are you afraid of?" It's you who did the wrong thing, it's not you, if she hates you because of this, then she is small enough, and she will repay it, your sister won't. Also, you don't have to sympathize with her, because that would make you look cowardly. ”

Ruan Yu didn't seem to understand, but he wrote down all his words in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, fireworks began to be set off outside before it was dark, and the atmosphere of the festival suddenly became rich. Before he finished eating at night, Ruan Kangming wanted to run out to watch the fireworks, but was stopped by Ruan's mother and forced him to eat before he was allowed to go out.

Eating rice balls on the Lantern Festival, but the rice balls sold in the supermarket are not delicious, too sweet and greasy, Ruan Yu only ate five and didn't want to eat anymore, and drank a lot of float tea (I didn't find specific information on the Internet, but it should be boiled from wine and rice floats) before I felt that the sweetness was pressed down my throat.

The family went out to watch the fireworks after eating, and Ruan Yu also went out to find Meng Jiayue after brushing the pot.

The road outside the community is lined with people, and fireworks flash one after another in the night, exploding colorful flowers, and you can hear the cheers of children in the distance. However, Ruan Yu didn't like the feeling of being drenched with gunpowder residue at close range, so he didn't look closer.

She and Meng Jiayue sat in the pavilion in the community garden, holding a bag of mochi in their hands and eating, which was given by Meng Jiayue just now, the taste was okay, but the appearance was very cute, white and soft, and there was a sandwich inside.

The garden is pitch black and no one else is there, the camphor trees on the side of the road are connected into a shadow, the pavilion is near the water, and the nearest street lamp is more than a dozen steps away, but today's Lantern Festival, the fireworks in the sky alone shine around as if it were daytime.

"School is going to be tomorrow." Ruan Yu suddenly sighed, she also suddenly thought of it, but her mood was a little bad in an instant, and she felt that she couldn't eat mochi.

The sound of fireworks was too loud, Meng Jiayue didn't hear what she said clearly, so she leaned closer and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Ruan Yu repeated in a loud voice: "I have to go to school tomorrow." ”

She laughed first, then shouted, "Can you hear what I say?" ”

Meng Jiayue suddenly raised his hand to grab the flesh of her cheek, and seemed to weigh it in his hand before saying, "The voice is so loud, of course I can hear it." But the last time I pinched your face, I didn't feel so fat, and it really grew meat. ”

"The Chinese New Year's food is so good." Ruan Yu made a microphone with both hands and shouted: "My mother has always said that I am fat, and she doesn't want me to eat, and I don't want to lose weight." ”

Meng Jiayue smiled slightly, didn't speak at the time, and only said to himself after half a sound: "Indeed, it's good to be white, tender, and fat." ”

Three fireworks bombs exploded in the sky, Ruan Yu jumped up excitedly and ran outside the pavilion to see, she didn't know that Meng Jiayue had just spoken, she jumped to her feet happily while shouting: "Meng Jiayue, look at it, it's so beautiful!" ”

Meng Jiayue looked at her and slowly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile, the sky was bright and flickering, Ruan Yu outside the pavilion jumped and jumped, and her laughter could be heard through the sound of fireworks.

"Wow! It's a fairy stick, Meng Jiayue, you see, someone is playing fairy stick. Ruan Yu ran back and pointed to a few girls on the other side of the waterhole playing fairy sticks to show Meng Jiayue.

Meng Jiayue came back to her senses and rubbed her head.
