Chapter 40: Chinese New Year's Eve

When she returned to her aunt's house, Dai Man had already begun to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the afterglow outside the window was reflected on the pear blossom wood floor, outlining her slender and weak figure.

Looking at her gentle side face, Dai Zhi was inexplicably sentimental, and hurriedly reached out to untie her apron: "Auntie, didn't you say that you would rest today and I would cook?" ”

"Yes, yes," Dai Man said to Nunu on the table, "I'll keep it for you." ”

Dai Zhi asked while tying his apron, "Then what were you doing just now?" ”

Dai Man smiled: "Didn't you like to eat the eight treasure rice I made the most?" It's not a good thing, but I think it's rare for you to come here, so I'll prepare it for you. It's already steaming in the pot, you pay attention to it, and later-"

"Moda! My aunt loves me the most! Dai Zhi, who was washing his hands, turned around and sent two flying kisses to Dai Man, and then pushed her out of the kitchen with his elbow: "Okay aunt, I know, I know, you go to the hall and sit obediently and watch TV." ”

"But," said Dai Man, who took two steps and turned back, "I may do it myself." ”

She didn't forget that once she asked Dai to help boil some water, but she blew up the pot, almost scaring the eighty-year-old grandfather downstairs into a heart attack.

Dai Zhi didn't understand what Dai Man was worried about, and winked playfully: "Auntie, it's a big deal to blow up the kitchen again, it's not a big deal." ”

Daiman: "......"

Two hours later, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, garlic stewed chicken, Nian Nian Youyu, sweet and sour tenderloin, Sixi meatballs, taro button pork, hibiscus shrimp, beef soup, all of which were served with all the color and flavor, Dai Man's expression was no longer enough to describe surprise.

"Auntie, sit down and eat." Dai Zhi moved the eight-treasure rice in front of him, pointed to other dishes and joked to Dai Man: "I have fried many kitchens over the years before I learned these dishes, you can taste them, whether they are delicious." ”

Dai Man didn't move his chopsticks immediately, his eyes flashed slightly and rubbed Dai Bei's hair, and his tone was very gratifying: "Xiao Zhi has really grown up......"

After the meal, Dai Cheng came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, and saw Dai Man standing in front of the window looking downstairs, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”

"Wait, come and have a look." Dai Man beckoned to her: "In the evening, while you were cooking in the kitchen, I noticed a car parked next to the big locust tree. I thought it was someone from a neighbor's house, but when I went downstairs to take out the kitchen waste, I saw a man smoking in the car, his eyes kept staring at our house. ”

Dai waited and looked at the position that Dai Man was pointing.

At night, the light is dim, and it is not clear at all, only the silhouette of a car body is faintly illuminated.

"Auntie, there are three floors up there, so you can tell if you're staring at our house. Probably just a coincidence. Dai Zhi disagreed: "It's okay, we won't go out again anyway, if you don't worry, wait and lock the door tightly." ”

Dai Man smiled relievedly: "That's right, our family doesn't have anything of value to steal." ”

At night, Dai stayed in Dai Man's bed and slept with her, and the aunt and nephew talked a lot.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, Duan Yu had called over.

Dai Man was already asleep, and Dai Zhi went to the balcony in his clothes so as not to disturb her.

Under the cover of night, there is no scene related to prosperity in this community at all, but there are scattered people who are still guarding the New Year, and the warm yellow lights from the window make Dai feel particularly warm.

While chatting with Duan Yuzeng, his eyes fell on the light casually, and he unintentionally saw the car parked downstairs next to the big locust tree flashing red taillights.

From the angle of this balcony, the back half of the car happened to be hit by the street lamp, and Dai Cheng squinted his eyes and vaguely recognized the letters on the license plate number, which actually belonged to Rongcheng.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks came out far away at this time, and in the earpiece, Duan Yu once said "Happy New Year" in a warm voice.

Dai Zhi stared thoughtfully at the car and whispered, "Happy New Year." ”
