It was about a two-hour journey to my grandfather's house, and I arrived at about 11 o'clock in the morning. Grandpa's aunt Ruan Yu's family, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle's family have already come, the house is full of people, especially many children, the eldest cousin has reached the age of marriage, and the youngest Ruan Yu's cousin is only one year old, and he can't speak yet.

As soon as Ruan's mother entered the house, she went to the kitchen to help cook, Ruan Yu followed the others to watch TV, and the little uncle, the little aunt, the eldest cousin, and the eldest cousin gathered together to play the landlord, and after playing for a while, they said that they wanted to play mahjong instead.

There is a pair of mahjong in his grandfather's house, which is still brand new, Ruan Yu doesn't know how it came about, but there are a lot of things to play in his grandfather's house, in addition to the often played poker and mahjong, chess, Go, and military chess, Ruan Yu can play chess is learned at his grandfather's house during the Chinese New Year.

Hearing them say that they want to play mahjong, Ruan Yu is quite interested in mahjong, but she can't play, so she moved a stool to sit and watch a few of them play mahjong, and then when the cards were shuffled, Ruan Yu also took the opportunity to put her hands on it to learn them to rub mahjong.

After watching it for a while, Ruan Yu took the opportunity to ask her eldest cousin: "Sister, do you know what fountain pen is good?" ”

"Does Xiaoyu want to buy a fountain pen?" The little uncle sat on Ruan Yu's left and asked when he heard the words.

The eldest cousin played a card and said, "You want to buy a pen?" But novices write pen words, use Ling Mei! Ling Mei is very good, and I think the appearance is quite good. ”

The little uncle shook his head and said, "Children practice calligraphy, just buy a hero fountain pen, Ling Mei is too expensive, it costs two or three hundred!" And the county can't buy it yet. ”

"Huh? Can't buy it? Ruan Yu's mind moved slightly, and she pretended to be curious and asked her uncle: "Isn't there anything for sale in the county?" ”

"No, it's foreign, but isn't there Yintai in City A? Yintai should be able to buy it. The little uncle touched a card, as if it was a little difficult, Ruan Yu saw that his eyebrows were wrinkled, and he hesitated for a while before taking out a bird from his card and playing it.

"Huh." The little aunt shouted, pushed the cards in front of her, clapped her hands happily and smiled: "Your card is really timely, I just matched the card." ”

The eldest cousin sighed on the side, resigned himself to pushing the cards in front of him, and said, "I have lost several times!" Is it that my feng shui is not good, why are the cards rotten like this? No, let's change our seats and sit down. ”

"You can't win by changing seats." The little aunt won two games in a row, and she was proud, saying that she was not afraid of changing seats, so she got up and changed seats with her eldest cousin, and continued to play.

They played until lunchtime before putting away the mahjong, and Ruan Yu also saw it at that time, but she still didn't understand the rules of mahjong, but the eldest cousin said with great interest that she would teach Ruan Yu to play in the afternoon.

After eating, the adults all gathered together to talk, and they didn't know who started it, a few cousins and cousins plus Ruan Yue said that they were going out to buy snacks, those who had no money asked for money, and those who had money also took the opportunity to order again, and then a bunch of people ran out, and the living room was instantly empty.

Ruan Yu didn't go, because her grandfather had a lot of movie discs at home, and she found a cartoon in it, called "Spirited Away", Ruan Yue and they didn't finish watching it when they went to buy snacks, so they didn't go.

There was a sudden cry of a child in the house, Ruan Yu was close, and Ruan's mother called her: "Xiao Yu, you go to the house to see what is wrong with Xiao Han, pick it up and coax her." ”

The one who fell asleep in the house was the little cousin who was just one year old, Ruan Yu hadn't seen her a few times, but since she came, the little cousin had fallen asleep in the house, and it was time to wake up after so long, but the little aunt just went to the toilet. Ruan Yu entered the house, and saw the little cousin crying on the bed, and the little quilt on her body was also kicked away by her, Ruan Yu went over to pick up the little cousin, and at this time the little uncle happened to come in and hugged the child over.

"You're hungry, aren't you? I've slept for so long. The little uncle took the little cousin in his arms and shook it, and walked out.

Seeing that someone was coaxing, Ruan Yu went out, the cartoon was still playing, and when it was almost over, Ruan Yue and they also came back from outside, and they also brought a lot of snacks, whoever wanted to eat them could take them.

Ruan Yu took the opportunity to take the only bag of mushroom spicy strips, she likes to eat this very much, when she was still in elementary school in her hometown, there was a commissary at the school gate, five cents a pack, she basically had to buy a pack every day.

"What's this you're taking? Come and I'll taste it. The second cousin leaned over and pinched a pinch to eat, and then handed the Mimi shrimp crackers in her hand to Ruan Yu for her to taste.

"That's a lot! Then. The eldest cousin tore a bag and threw it over.

Ruan Yu hurriedly went to pick it up, but his hand didn't block it, and he smashed it on his head all of a sudden, and suddenly everyone around him laughed.

Before cooking dinner, grandparents, uncles and aunts began to give out New Year's money, but those of the same age as the eldest cousin and eldest cousin did not have New Year's money. After sending out the New Year's money, Ruan Yu counted it roughly, and this time she got 600 yuan, plus her before, she had nearly 1,000 yuan.

However, although there is a lot of money, it is not Ruan Yu's in the end, because her New Year's money is basically handed over to Ruan's mother, even if she doesn't pay it, her mother will deduct it from other places, such as buying clothes and tuition, so Ruan Yu can't save much by herself, so she plans to take the New Year's money first and not hand it over, and then give it to her mother after buying the rest of the pen.

Dinner at five o'clock in the evening, as soon as the meal was finished, Ruan Yu and his parents left his grandfather's house, and when he got home, it was nearly nine o'clock, and his grandparents had not slept yet, waiting in the hall.

Before going to bed, while Ruan Yue was away, Ruan Yu took out all the New Year's money and sorted it out, and then divided it into two parts, one under the pillow and pressed with a cushion, and one in the pocket of her clothes to carry with her.

In the next few days, relatives came one after another, or their families went out to visit relatives, Ruan Yu's sister-in-law came in the fourth year of junior high school, and also brought her five-year-old cousin and her little cousin, who just turned two years old this year.

Ruan Yu's little cousin is super cute, his little face is fat, he feels very good when he pinchs it, his soft mouth has not yet grown up with teeth the size of a grain of rice, and his words are not good, his nickname is Doudou, once he is angry or anxious, he will call himself Doudoudou, soft and glutinous.

Because there were guests today, Ruan's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen, and while she still had time, she steamed the purple potatoes she bought before, and when she ate them, Ruan Yu went to the kitchen to get one, and before she ate a few bites, she saw her little cousin looking at her with blank eyes.

"You want to eat it too?" Ruan Yu squatted down and brought the purple potato to the little cousin, and when she saw that the little cousin was about to grab it, she hurriedly raised the purple sweet potato to prevent him from reaching it, and said, "Wait, I'll peel the purple potato for you." ”

Ruan Yu stood up and broke the purple potato in half, revealing the steaming pot inside, she pinched a little in her hand, and only bent down to feed her little cousin when the blow was not hot.

When a child eats, his mouth is deflated, and he doesn't know how to swallow it, and then he opens his mouth to ask for it.

Ruan Yu didn't care about eating herself, and fed her little cousin with great interest, but after a few bites, she heard Ruan Yue say: "Don't feed too much, otherwise you won't be able to digest it." ”

"Then I won't feed it after I'm done feeding it." Ruan Yu didn't dare to feed her anymore when she heard her say this, for fear that her little cousin would ask her for it, so she devoured the remaining purple potatoes and almost choked.

The little cousin saw that there was nothing to eat, and shouted angrily: "Jiji is bad, Doudou...... Beanie ...... Eat. After speaking, he pouted, turned around and left, going to find his mother, ignoring Ruan Yu.

"Hey, hey, you abandoned me so soon, you really fed you for nothing." Ruan Yu chased after him and pinched him in the face, seeing that the child was about to cry, he quickly ran away.

The sister-in-law's family left at two o'clock in the afternoon after lunch, and before leaving, Ruan Yu got another New Year's money and happily put it in her pocket.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ruan Yu and Ruan Yue went to eat a banquet together, and there were a lot of people in the village who got married and held happy events during the Chinese New Year, and then they all prepared a banquet in their own homes, the east family borrowed a few tables, the west family borrowed dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, and then found the uncle who could cook in the village to take charge of the spoon, and there would be women from relatives or neighbors who would come over to help do some washing vegetables and dishes.

Ruan Yu likes to participate in this kind of banquet, and eating is secondary, because there are many people eating, and the taste is just like that, but this kind of wedding can see what the bride's wedding dress looks like.

As soon as the car arrived, Ruan Yu said to Ruan Yue and ran into the crowd, relying on the small crowd of people to drill around, before the bride walked to the new house, she finally saw the style of the wedding dress, the white bandeau wedding dress, the skirt was very large, although she didn't see it all, but Ruan Yu was already very happy.

The family returned to City A on the sixth day of the new year, because before leaving, Grandma Ruan brought the melons, fruits, flesh and vegetables that the family had not eaten during the New Year, gifts from relatives and other things, saying that the two old people at home could not eat it, and it could only be broken, so as soon as they arrived home, Ruan Yu first helped Ruan's mother sort out the things she brought from her hometown.

The meat includes chicken, duck, fish, pork, and leftover dumpling filling, and the refrigerator is full before it is barely put down, and as for the drinks, biscuits, sausages and other things sent by relatives, the utility room at home is almost out of the way, and it took nearly an hour and a half to get it almost finished, and it was nearly two o'clock in the afternoon before the family had lunch.

Ruan Yu quickly finished lunch, and while everyone in the family was still eating, she quietly went to her parents' room to turn on the computer and surf the Internet. Ruan Yu checked the bus route from the Internet, took all the New Year's money and made an excuse to go out, and it took nearly two hours to finally find Yintai.

But when she arrived at the place, Ruan Yu didn't dare to go in, she had never been to this kind of place, she was afraid of the unfamiliar environment, and now she was still alone, she felt that her heart was beating fast, and her hands were trembling.

Standing at the gate of Yintai and hesitating for more than ten minutes, Ruan Yu was still afraid that if she dragged it any longer, she would go home late, and then she would be scolded, so she lowered her head and went in.

It's just that she doesn't know where it is, she turned around in it for a long time, running upstairs and downstairs, and finally almost didn't get lost, but she still endured her fear and asked a big sister at the counter to find the counter of Ling Mei Fountain Pen.

But no one was buying pens at the counter, which was too different from Ruan Yu's situation of thinking that there were a lot of people, so frightened that she didn't dare to go over in an instant, and hesitated outside for a long time, but the shopping guide saw that she kept looking there, and she dared to go after asking aloud.

Ruan Yu didn't know what the model of the fountain pen was, the nib model and a bunch of other things, so she bought a black fountain pen under the recommendation of the shopping guide in a daze, and spent more than 300 yuan.

When Ruan Yu got on the bus, she was still a little frightened, holding her chest and gasping for breath for a while before she felt relieved, and when she went home, she only took about an hour because she already knew the route.

When I arrived at the community, it was almost dark, and before returning home, Ruan Yu threw away the bag containing the pen, put the box in her pocket and took it home.

Ruan's mother was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and the knife-headed meat she brought from home was just right to make braised pork to eat, and she didn't find it when Ruan Yu went back, so naturally she didn't ask where she went.

After dinner in the evening, Ruan Yu used the excuse of running to find Meng Jiayue, and after a year, he didn't see him, and Ruan Yu really missed him.

It was only when I went to know that Meng Jiayue was playing chess with Uncle Meng, and when Ruan Yu went, they had just started a game, and they didn't know when it would be over.

Ruan Yu originally wanted to find a chance to be alone with Meng Jiayue, and then give him the pen, so that she couldn't give the pen to Meng Jiayue in front of Uncle Meng and Aunt Chen, otherwise if it reached Ruan's mother's ears, it would definitely be another question.

Ruan Yu could only be patient and anxious, watching them play from the side, fortunately, she knew the rules of chess, although she had never won, but she could also see that both sides on the chessboard were very powerful, it was simply an inch, every time she thought that one side was weak, there would be a miracle step, and she would come back to life.

Halfway through the chess game, Uncle Meng suddenly shook the chess and said, "No, no more." ”

"Huh? I'm watching, why don't you get down? Aunt Chen didn't agree first, and pushed Uncle Meng's shoulder to ask him to go down.

Meng Jiayue looked at Uncle Meng and didn't speak, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking with a look on his face.

Ruan Yu was also curious about why Uncle Meng didn't go down, so he heard Uncle Meng say: "I'm upset, you will only lose if you go down again, wait for next time." ”

Is this Meng Jiayue talking about? Ruan Yu turned his head to look at Meng Jiayue, and just as he wanted to speak, he glanced at him and obediently shut up.

Meng Jiayue stood up and walked to his room, Ruan Yu hurriedly said to the two elders, trotted to follow, and when he entered the house, Meng Jiayue closed the door and cut off the sound outside, and Ruan Yu no longer imagined chess.

Ruan Yu took out the pen from his pocket, and at this moment he felt that it was worth it to be scared so much before, so he smiled happily and said to him, "I bought you a New Year's gift." ”

Meng Jiayue looked at the pencil case and then at Ruan Yu, reached out to take the pencil case, opened it, frowned suddenly, and asked Ruan Yu: "You went to buy it yourself?" ”

"That's right!"

"Where did you buy it?"

"Yintai!"

"I didn't even know you were so bold." Meng Jiayue lowered his face and put the pen case on the table, which frightened Ruan Yu and instantly tensed his nerves.

"You don't like it?" Ruan Yu asked cautiously.

Meng Jiayue sat down on the bed, raised his eyes to look at Ruan Yu, and said coldly, "Come here." ”

Ruan Yu's heart trembled, and slowly moved over.

"I ran out to buy a fountain pen on my own initiative, I said that you didn't see anyone this day, and I couldn't find it when I went to your house, so I went to do this." Meng Jiayue's voice was cold, not at all like Ruan's mother who started a fire, but this is how Ruan Yu was afraid, feeling cold all over her body, and her head was lowering more and more fiercely.

"Confiscate three days' worth of snacks."

"Huh?" Ruan Yu looked up in disbelief.
