In any Chinese's view, the Spring Festival should be the most important festival. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt the end of every year, people who are away from home will rush to their homes, and the people at home are looking forward to waiting for their long-lost relatives to come home and reunite. After many years of inheritance, people's activities have changed greatly during the New Year, and the steaming Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is needless to say, and now the must-see Spring Festival Gala has almost become a new Spring Festival custom. In the city, perhaps most of the New Year's flavor has been diluted by the breath of modernity, many people just regard the New Year as an annual holiday, doing weekday things, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve, they will occasionally look at the fireworks reflecting the floor-to-ceiling windows, and nothing else.

However, in the countryside, the flavor of the New Year is still well preserved, the old people in the village are the most old-fashioned, and many customs and habits are no longer understood or even known by young people, but there are still these stubborn elders who have been completely inherited. Don't comment on the far-reaching significance of this, at least these people never forget how the New Year really should feel.

From the twentieth day of the lunar month, Yi Dye and Yin Lord felt a strong New Year's flavor coming to their faces, every household was buying New Year's goods to prepare for the New Year, the old people in the village wrote a big red couplet, and the thick ink outlined it in one go from beginning to end; The aunt bought chicken, duck and fish from the market early, and chose to dry and wash them and waited for the Chinese New Year's Eve to show her skills to make a hearty meal. Maybe those children are the happiest, they are finally a year older, not only have new clothes to wear, but also the New Year's money given by the elders in the family, young and unworried, and children are the most carefree age.

Yi Ran thought it was very interesting, she had never known that the Chinese New Year could be so lively, she looked at everything that the people around her did and felt very fresh, she wanted to help, such as giving Huo Mu a hand or something, but Huo Mu smiled and shook her head, and politely rejected her kindness. Yi Ran originally wanted to persevere, but the Yin Lord's sentence "If you still want to have a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at that time, you should stop" hit her hard.

She sat honestly on the sidelines, looking at the Yin Lord angrily, trying to show her dissatisfaction and hostility towards him with her eyes. However, the Yin Lord was unmoved, and did something that made her grit her teeth even more: he rolled up his sleeves and went over to help Huo Mu clean up the fat carp, and Huo Mu even agreed. Yi Ran was surprised, and then waited for the Yin Lord to be embarrassed with contempt, she didn't believe that the young patriarch of the Impermanent Yin family would do such a thing. However, reality slapped her in the face again, watching him skillfully cut open the belly of the fish to remove the internal organs and clean the body of the fish, she only felt that the reality was really cruel, and there was a feeling of self-shame.

Huo Xiaolu, who was choosing vegetables on the side, also came over in surprise and asked, "I can't see it, with your identity, you will still do this work." ”

The Yin Lord just smiled indifferently: "I'm actually not what you think, I've been alone outside since I was a child, and I have to do everything by myself, and I'll be able to do everything after a long time." ”

Huo's mother also praised him with a smile: "I heard Xiaolu say that your family background is not bad, it is rare to be able to do this, how can today's children still be willing to do their own work, if I hadn't asked Xiaolu to help me since I was a child, he wouldn't know anything now." ”

"It doesn't hurt to do this, and I can help my mom at home." The Yin Lord spoke modestly, and he didn't stop for a moment, and soon, a carp that had been cleaned up and refreshed was placed on the plate.

Yi Ran was completely convinced, as if he was the only one in this room who couldn't do anything. However, she didn't run out because of shame, but stood next to Huo Mu, watching her do things, and learning while watching.

I have to say that the perception of easy dyeing is still okay, after looking at it for a while, although some complicated things are not enough, but the simple ones of choosing a vegetable and peeling the skin are already very clear. She and Huo Xiaolu squatted together, holding a knife and sharpening the yam seriously, Huo Xiaolu looked at her with a strange expression.

At first, Yi Ran didn't care, thinking that he was just surprised that he had taken the initiative to help with the work. But after a while, she felt awkward, Huo Xiaolu didn't work there anymore, just looked at herself in a daze, and still had a strange expression. She raised the yam in her hand with some annoyance, and said, "Look at what, stupid! ”

Huo Xiaolu seemed to have just come back to his senses, and hurriedly lowered his head to do the work in his hand, like a child who didn't dare to admit that he had done something bad. Yi Ran glanced at Huo Xiaolu suspiciously, and then glanced at his chest very vaguely, not exposed, he was wearing cotton clothes in the winter, and he was wrapped tightly. glanced at Huo Xiaolu puzzled, and then stopped caring about him and continued to do his own thing.

The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have been busy all day unhurriedly, and finally I have almost prepared the things I need for the New Year. After dinner, the three young people didn't want to go to bed because it was still early, so they ran to the back mountain forest with two bottles of liquor.

Looking for a place to sit casually, Yi Ran took out the third brother's cup from his pocket, and the yin lord unscrewed the wine bottle cap and filled the third brother's cup. No one spoke first, the three of them took a full sip, and even Yi Ran drank not a drop of the fifty-two degree liquor in the cup. The liquor was in their stomachs, and all three of them had a flush on their faces.

Poured three cups full of each, and the Yin Lord smiled and said, "I didn't see it, it's easy to dye your amount of wine is really good." ”

Yi Ran smiled very proudly: "That's it, I often steal my dad's wine at home, and my dad's alcohol consumption is not as good as mine." ”

Huo Xiaolu smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass and took another sip: "That's okay, don't blame me for bringing you badly." ”

Yi Ran smiled and waved his fist at him, but did not speak.

Through the branches above the trees, you can see that the stars in the sky are bright, and the winter night breeze blows quietly, and it is cold, but the three people who are addicted to alcohol do not care. The three of them kept clinking glasses and drinking and chatting, breathing in the fresh and dry air, and they didn't seem to be drunk, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Later, the three of them were still a little confused after all, the Yin Lord looked fine, Yi Ran was already ghosted in front of him, and his head was groggy, as for Huo Xiaolu, it was even more unbearable, in fact, he didn't drink well, but he drank a little more with a good face, and now he hasn't vomited is already very good. Leaning lightly on the trunk of the tree, the Yin Lord looked at the two people in front of him whose bodies were already staggering and unable to sit steadily, and laughed silently.

He suddenly said, "You said, since you two like each other, why don't you just be together." ”

Obviously, the bodies of the two of them stiffened, whether it was Yi Dye, who was rubbing his head and screaming for a headache, or Huo Xiaolu, who was there holding his chest and rolling his eyes, they all stopped for a moment. The picture is like a freeze frame, neither of them moving or speaking.

The Yin Lord continued, "I know what you two are thinking in your hearts, and I have to say that your thoughts are really wrong. ”

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Huo Xiaolu was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Don't you just want to silently stay by Yi Ran's side to protect her, you think I don't know why you learned magic? You think I didn't know you often sneak in on her? Do you think I didn't know she actually liked you? ”

Hearing the last sentence, Yi Ran was obviously shocked, she opened her mouth to say something, but after seeing Huo Xiaolu's surprised eyes beside her, somehow, she still didn't say anything after all.

The Yin Lord raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and said, "I know that you each have your own ideas, Huo Xiaolu, you feel that you are not worthy of her, and you don't want to affect him because of your life." On the whole, you have good reasons, but I don't think so, I just think that you are very cowardly. ”

Before the two of them could say anything, the Yin Lord held the wine bottle as if he was drunk, and began to reprimand the two of them loudly: "Look what you look like! Facing the person you like every day, you don't dare to confess, you can't hold hands, and you don't even want to look at each other openly, do you think it's interesting for you to be so interesting? Those who know understand your hardships, and those who don't know think that you are acting in a bloody romance drama! Don't think that your respective practices are selfless and great, you are just cowardice! I just don't dare! Just stupid! ”

"What's so hard about being with someone you like? Where did such and such a reason come from? Where do all these obstacles come from? Life is too short, how much time do you have left to torture and waste with each other?! ”

At first, Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran wanted to refute it, but the more they listened, the more wilted they became, and in the end, the two of them directly buried their heads and did not move. And the Yin Lord seemed to have finally said enough, so he poured the last sip of wine fiercely, threw the empty bottle to the ground, and turned away.

The two of them were silent in the same place, and the air was rippling with the smell of love.

The two of them didn't know that the Yin Lord seemed to leave without looking back, and tears were silently shed as he walked. Tears lined up her cheeks, wetting her chest and splashing on the fallen leaves beneath her feet.

The next day, the Yin Lord got up early in the morning to find that the two people had also gotten up, although it didn't seem to have changed, but the Yin Lord still keenly felt the affection between them. He smiled slightly, his sensationalism last night was not in vain after all.

After breakfast, the Yin Lord helped Huo Mu clean up the table, and then Huo Xiaolu came up and whispered, "Thank you." ”

The Yin Lord smiled lightly and replied softly: "You're welcome, remember to give a red envelope." ”
