36. Chinese New Year's Eve
The cool winter wind is biting, and it is the degree that you will feel cold when you sit in the house and hold the hot water kettle.
In this small county town, every household began to welcome the New Year, and Zhang Jin was busy preparing sacrificial things at home, as well as some things for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
This year, Lin Mian was in his second year of junior high school, and Bian Yunqi was already in his second year of high school.
Lin Mian was afraid of the cold, wrapped himself in a ball with a blanket, and still held a warm pot in his arms, only exposing his head and shrunk on the sofa to watch TV.
Zhang Jin's voice came from the kitchen, "Ouch, okay, you can go out, you have several dumplings." ”
"How, don't you make it up?" Bian Yunqi also wanted to try to save it, but was dragged out of the kitchen by Zhang Jinlian.
"Okay, okay, don't wrap it up and go out and rest."
Although he was impatient, Zhang Jin still smiled on his face and quipped: "Other people's boys are eager to stay away from the kitchen, so you want to help." ”
Bian Yunqi smiled and said, "It's not that you can't be busy." The boy's voice was much lower, not as clear as before.
"Hey, I said that if we were Xiaoyun's daughter-in-law in the future, it would really be a blessing."
The smile on Zhang Jin's face was even worse, and when he turned to Lin Mian, who was lazy on the sofa, he became worried, and waved his hand and said: "Mianmian, you came in to help, you have been watching TV since the beginning of school, has it stopped one day?" ”
Lin Mian, who was chasing dramas on the sofa, suddenly complained dissatisfiedly by Cue's extremely reluctant "ah": "Mom, you are doing differential treatment, you are partial!" ”
"What discrimination? Hurry up and come in to help the girl's lazy family, don't say that you will get married in the future, so what if you can't live alone in the future? ”
As soon as Mr. Zhang mentioned this, he was about to start talking endlessly, Lin Mian's ears were calloused, and he covered his ears and retorted, "I have a brother, I can't starve to death." ”
"Hurry up and let me in, or I'll go out and clean you up later."
Lin Mian didn't move.
Zhang Jin released the last killer move, "If you don't come again, I'll deduct your New Year's money!" ”
Money is Lin Mian's life, and whoever wants to move Lin Mian will go crazy.
During last year's holiday, in order to maintain the car he had invested outside, Bian Yunqi politely took away the New Year's money without Lin Mian's consent.
Lin Mian thought that the money was all over, and she was depressed for a long time in the first month, which made Bian Yunqi think she was depressed.
"Come on, don't deduct my New Year's money......" Lin Mian bitterly lifted the blanket and covered Bian Yunqi with a "intimate" one.
Bian Yunqi, who was leaning on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone, raised his eyes and looked at Lin Mian as if he wondered, "Yo, how can this four-legged gold-swallowing beast care about people today?" ”
"Screwdriver, what are you doing in a daze." Lian Wu's voice came from the game, and Bian Yunqi looked down and saw that the screen had grayed out, and scolded in a low voice.
"Screwdriver, how are you doing at home?"
"That's it." As he spoke, Bian Yunqi got a person's head and answered casually.
Lian Wu followed his parents to Licheng last semester, and he would come back to visit his grandparents in his hometown during the holidays.
Playing a game of kung fu, Lin Mian in the kitchen didn't know how many times he was counted, Zhang Jin first taught gently and patiently to the end and gradually became irritable.
Lin Mian was scolded silently, mainly because he was afraid that the New Year's money would be deducted.
At last
"Oh, don't wrap it, don't wrap it up, don't go out, it's really worry-free."
"Oh......" Lin Mianbian came out of the kitchen and sat back on the sofa, reaching out to pull the gray blanket that covered Bian Yun's body.
Bian Yunqi didn't have time to pay attention to her when he was playing games, but it would still be a little cold to take the blanket away suddenly, so Bian Yunqi wore a pair of pants and didn't wear socks to keep warm.
In this way, he was scolded by Zhang Jin no less than 20 times, and he went in and out of his left ear every time.
It would be good for someone to warm the blanket, Lin Mian lazily curled up in the blanket and enjoyed the warmth brought by the blanket, feeling that Bian Yunqi was hot and chrysalis on his side.
The range of action was a little large, Lin Mian hit Bian Yunqi's shoulder with his head, and his fingers that slid quickly on the screen missed the skill, and then the mobile phone screen turned gray again.
"Grass-" Bian Yunqi scolded in a low voice, turned his head to look at Lin Mian who was leaning beside him, and angrily started to pull her blanket and asked, "Why didn't you take my blanket yourself?" ”
"What's your blanket, I just put the blanket on you to make it a little warmer, I'm covering, how did it become yours?" Lin Mian grabbed the blanket stiffly.
Lin Mian's voice was already soft and glutinous, obviously angry, but there was no momentum, but he could hear a trace of coquettishness.
"Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you." Bian Yunqi let go of the blanket in disgust, sighed faintly and sighed: "You have no conscience, you are hungry and know to look for your brother, now you don't need your brother anymore, you have this attitude?" It really chilled my brother's heart. ”
"Hmm......" Lin Mian looked down at the blanket, feeling that he was indeed a white-eyed wolf, and put half of it on Bian Yunqi's body, "Cover it for you, don't pull the blanket anymore." ”
Bian Yunqi put away his mobile phone, lazily let out a "snort" sound from his nose, put his hand on Lin Mian's shoulder, and reached out to hold her cold hand.
Her hand was much bigger than Lin Mian's, dry and warm, she was really safe, Lin Mian moved her fingers to look at the hand she was holding, stupid.
Lin Mian's body was cold, and his hands were cold in the summer, not to mention in winter, and the blanket that didn't take long to dry and warm was cold.
"It's really like not covering a blanket with you." The young man said so, but he still brought Lin Mian to his side.
"Xiaoyun, you go out and set off the firecrackers, and we are ready to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Zhang Jin took out a basin of boiled live fish and put it on the table, wiping his hands.
Bian Yunqi raised his voice in response, and glanced at Lin Mian as if he was smiling.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Lin Mian tightened the small blanket and smiled at Bian Yunqi, who tilted his head and pulled out a fleeting smile, lifted the blanket, and said ruthlessly, "Go with me." ”
"I don't want it!"
"I'm sorry for you!"
Lin Mian also wanted to resist, but was grabbed by Bian Yunqi and walked out.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind came to Lin Mian, who was blown and began to tremble, squatting at the door like a big complaint.
The sound of firecrackers crackled and exploded in the dim courtyard, "Brother, go inside, it's cold." Lin Mian took Bian Yunqi's hand and walked into the house, she didn't want to come out for a second.
"Eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner~" Zhang Jin brought out hot dumplings.
Lin Mian smelled the fragrance of the vegetables and sat on the table to eat, while Bian Yunqi threw the things he didn't like to eat into Lin Mian's bowl as usual.
Tsk, it's nice to have a sister brand humanoid trash can.
The humanoid trash can Lin Mian was still stupidly happy that Bian Yunqi picked up vegetables for himself, and smirked at Bian Yunqi with his big teeth.
"Tsk, it's so stupid," Bian Yunqi teased silently
The three people were happily eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the iron gate of the courtyard suddenly made a whole sound.
The three of them stopped eating and looked out the door.
"Who?" Zhang Jin put down his chopsticks and got up and walked out.
There was a sound of footsteps from far to near.
"Brother." A childish voice came from the door, followed by Bian Xing's voice, "Xiaoyun." ”
Lin Mian looked at the child named Bian Yunqi's brother vigilantly, and grabbed Bian Yunqi's hand, for fear that he would leave like he had done at the beginning.
"Long time no see, uncle" Bian Yunqi greeted politely, moved his eyes to Lin Mian, and lightly added a piece of lychee meat into Lin Mian's mouth to comfort her in a low voice, "Brother is not leaving." ”
"Okay, haven't you eaten, just come and eat, Xiao He is also hungry, right?" Zhang Jin enthusiastically took Bian Yehe's hand and walked to the table.
Bian Yehe glanced at Bian Yunqi, who had a cold face on the side, and shouted "Brother" very aggrieved, and he laughed again just now.
After Bian Yunqi answered, the two of them never said a word again, Lin Mian glanced at Bian Yehe, a small man with a pair of white and tender big eyes looking around curiously.
The eyes of the two children collided together, and Bian Ye He smiled sweetly at Lin Mian, "Hello sister, my name is Bian Ye He, what is your name?" ”
"Lin Mian" Lin Mian spit out two words and silently lowered his head to eat vegetables.
There were two more strangers at the table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Bian Xing and Zhang Jin could occasionally chat about a few things in recent years.
"Eat vegetables, don't be picky." Bian Yun picked up vegetables for Lin Mian, but he didn't care about Bian Ye at all, Lin Mian responded and secretly glanced at Bian Ye He next to him.
Seeing that he looked at Bian Yunqi with some expectation, after two seconds, he saw that Bian Yunqi did not make the slightest move to pick up vegetables for himself.
The little eyes of anticipation suddenly dimmed, and he silently buried his head in eating vegetables, and his pitiful appearance made Lin Mian a little unhappy.
Poor little bit, why did you become disgusted? It doesn't matter, my brother doesn't hurt, my sister hurts.
"Eat meat? This meat is delicious. Lin Mian picked up a piece of braised pork from the dish plate and put it into Bian Yehe's bowl, looked at his surprised eyes with a smile and took the initiative to talk, "Eat it." ”
"Don't eat it." Bian Yunqi opened his mouth coldly and warned Bian Yehe in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and stuffed the meat from his chopsticks into his mouth.
This move caused Lin Mian's displeasure, looking at Bian Yehe's aggrieved eyes, Lin Mian remembered the scene when Bian Yunqi came to his house to grab sweet and sour pork ribs on the first day.
Lin Mian tilted his head to look at Bian Yunqi, sure enough, his face was extremely pale, and the next second he spit out the meat in his mouth and stuffed vegetables into his mouth in a big gulp.
"Sister, I'm going to sit with you!" Bian Yehe ran to Lin Mian's side with a bowl and a chair in disgust, sitting next to her, and his big grape-like eyes flickered, "Sister, can you clip a piece of meat for me?" ”
"Okay" Lin Mian stretched out his hand to give him a piece of lychee meat, and added vegetables to him and touched his head, imitating the tone of an adult: "Eat more vegetables, don't be picky." ”
Bian Yehe glanced at Bian Yunqi's dark and gloomy face, quickly stuffed Lin Mian's vegetables and meat into his mouth, and opened his mouth with bulging cheeks, "Thank you, sister, you are much better than my brother." ”
At the dinner table, Zhang Jin looked at the child who was born without a mother, and he was pitiful, and took out a red envelope from his pocket to stuff it into Bian Yehe's hand, "Aunt Xiao He gave you the New Year's money, take it and study hard, understand?" ”
"Sister Zhang, it's not okay, we're already embarrassed to disturb you on Chinese New Year's Eve, and besides, I haven't paid for sleep yet." It's not appropriate. Bian Xing hurriedly grabbed Zhang Jin, feeling guilty.
At the beginning, Bian Yunqi's parents died, and it was already troublesome for others to raise children for so long, but he didn't expect that after Ye He's death, Bian Yunqi was hit hard and said that he would go back here.
He is abroad with Bian Ye alone, and he really can't cope with it......
"Sister Zhang...... Actually, I'm ...... this time."
"Mom, I'm going upstairs when I'm full." Lin Mian put down his chopsticks and suddenly stood up to interrupt Bian Xing's words, and walked upstairs with a cold face.
"Sister, I want to follow you!" Bian Ye He also followed Lin Mian upstairs in a hurry, not afraid of her at all.
The children are gone, and Bian Yunqi, who has been silent since Bian Xing came in, put down his chopsticks lightly and sneered: "If you ask me to go back abroad with you, you will die of this heart."
"Xiaoyun ......," Zhang Jin stretched out his hand and pulled Bian Yunqi, telling him with his eyes that he couldn't do this.
"Mom Zhang, do you know how Ye He died?" Bian Yunqi's voice rose sharply, and he didn't want to look at him at all, "It's him, he has to return the child and kill his aunt!" ”
"Xiaoyun, I also have a hard time, and I won't be happy after Ah He leaves!" Bian Xing stood up excitedly, his cloudy eyes burning red.
"I have to take care of Xiaohe, and I'm still busy with the ......experiments in the research room," Bian Xing choked up, "Uncle Count, please come back, okay?" ”
At this moment, Bian Yunqi wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't make a laughing expression, and the green tendons on his neck slammed the chopsticks on the table, and he roared angrily: "You dream, stay away from my house!" ”
There was a fierce quarrel downstairs, and Lin Mian curled up in Bian Yun in a daze, getting up as if he was in a sluggish state when he walked away without saying a word that day.
Bian Yehe curiously lay on the balcony and looked at the fireworks outside, suddenly his big eyes were full of panic, and he turned his head and ran into the room and shook Lin Mian vigorously.
