Chapter 45: Chinese New Year's Eve (Finale)

There are two trees in the yard, one is an apricot tree and the other is also an apricot tree.

There is a long stone bench under the apricot tree, and there is a swing swaying next to it, An An is pushing Nannan to glide at a low altitude, over the years, the swing has glided through countless track tracks in the air, although no one can see it, but it silently carries the children's immature and innocent childhood, just like their laughter at this moment, as crisp and melodious as wind chimes.

Nannan didn't feel cold, not only because she wore a lot, but also because there was a small stove roasting on the side, and Aunt Jiang would throw a sun-dried apricot branch into it from time to time.

All of a sudden, Aunt Jiang's kindness, Xiao An's activity, and Xiao Nan's pleasure formed a warm picture, which is not the beauty created in the lens, this is just the life that everyone can have in the real world.

The heavy snow in winter is cold but also warm, because someone is waiting for the snow, and someone is waiting for you.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door...

Xiao An immediately said in surprise:

"Xiao Nan, it's my brother who is back!"

"Woooooooooooo

"Okay, don't worry, don't worry, let's eat the meatballs first, I'll clip them for you, and wait for the rest to be emptied in the pot before putting it, otherwise there will be no place."

Chu Xuan took the colander and gave it to Xiao An and Xiao Nan in turn... Well, Xiaoqian distributed the meatballs, the bottom of the pot is mandarin ducks, on one side is the hot pot material bought, which is slightly spicy, and on the other side is the pork rib soup cooked by Aunt Jiang in advance.

Looking at the way they exhaled a stream of heat, like the chimney emitting green smoke from time to time, Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, the hot pot is really a good thing on the dinner table, there is a sentence called:

If you don't know what to eat, come to a hot pot, it will always satisfy everyone.

"Senior brother, can the shrimp slide go down? And this lamb slices, hairy tripe, pig's blood, yellow throat, beef shutters..."

Liu Qianqian was very happy, after serving the table, she no longer looked like she was still a little far away like last time, this time she didn't care about it at all and even directly treated Chu Xuan as a waiter in command.

Chu Xuan didn't listen to her, and even put down some more vegetables to resist!

At the same time, I thought: I forgot to buy pig brains this time, otherwise add some coriander sesame oil and other stirred up to let you eat as tender tofu!

"Senior brother, I'll have a glass after drinking the rice wine."

Chu Xuan looked at her cheeks that didn't blush, and didn't know how much she drank, but she couldn't let her drink rice wine as a drink, not to mention that Aunt Jiang's homemade rice wine has always had a lot of stamina, and she didn't feel it at first, she only felt that the baked rice wine was sweet and warm, but after two hours, she would know its power.

So I poured her a glass of homemade sour plum juice for her, "That's the only one, or you can drink Coke." ”

Liu Qianqian was unhappy, and just wanted to refute, she looked at Chu Xuan with expressionless eyes, and after knowing that there was no play, she looked at Aunt Jiang and said sweetly, "Auntie~"

Aunt Jiang laughed happily, "Let's have another drink, if you're drunk, sleep here, and let Ah Xuan send you back tomorrow." ”

Chu Xuan didn't want to agree, he deliberately didn't drink a sip of wine because he was still thinking about driving, and staying overnight and eating were two different things, even if they had a good relationship, he didn't believe that Aunt Jiang didn't understand the difference, especially since she was still a person from that era.

Liu Qianqian agreed, "Okay, okay." ”

Then he said arrogantly: "Who is that, Ah Xuan, did you hear Aunt Jiang's words, have another drink!" ”

Chu Xuan had a black face, and glared at her fiercely before reluctantly falling on, that is, Aunt Jiang was present, otherwise she had to be treated well, a minor, after drinking a little wine, he didn't know who was big and who was small?!

But Liu Qianqian didn't care, or she was already on the top, staring at the lines of the bowl and shouting:

"It's full, it's still a little close, it's almost full!"

Chu Xuan really wanted to learn the cafeteria aunt's trick at this time - shaking her hands!

Seeing this, Xiao An on the side also took Xiao Nan's small bowl and hurriedly said.

"Brother Xuan, Xiao Nan also wants to drink!"

Chu Xuan saw through his trick at a glance, this kid is not very old but has a lot of eyes, if it weren't for today's special point, he would have to be arrested and take all the ideological education classes, he would temporarily play the role of political commissar!

"Xiao Nan, do you tell my brother if you want to drink?"

Chu Xuan still didn't want to do what Xiao An wanted, so he specially asked Xiao Nan, he knew that although Xiao Nan couldn't open his mouth, his mind was very sharp and delicate, and he could know what he meant.

It's a pity that he was wrong this time...

Or rather, he was right, but Xiao Nan didn't go as he wanted.

Because Xiao Nan hesitated for a while, he nodded after a while...

Xiao An was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed over the bowl,

"Brother Xuan, it's full!"

Chu Xuan's face darkened...

"Hahahaha, Nannan is awesome, let my sister kiss one!"

Liu Qianqian's suppressed smile finally couldn't help but release, and the gums of the smile were completely exposed, like the chimpanzee laughing when she was arrogant.

But seeing Chu Xuan eating deflated, she seemed to be happier than eating hot pot.

Chu Xuan could only drink a glass of Coca-Cola to suppress his temper, and it was better to send her back in the evening.

After finally eating and drinking, the time came to more than nine o'clock in the evening.

But today is not over, or business has just begun.

Chu Xuan was assembling the equipment, including a few light cards, Liu Qianqian finally opened the shoulder bag she had been carrying, and then took out a fluffy puppet, which were basically cats, pigs, sheep, dogs and bears that little girls liked, as well as a few big wavy dolls.

"Nannan, last time your brother was very bad, and he didn't tell me that there were girls too, so he only bought Transformers and the like, and this time I specially brought them, all of which I like very much, and now they are all handed over to you for safekeeping."

Xiao Nan's eyes were full of surprise, but he still pushed his hand and shook his head at the same time.

"Don't you like it? I have what I have, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow. ”

Xiao Nan nodded and shook her head, she didn't go to school and didn't know how to write much, but Liu Qianqian couldn't understand it.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan walked over and picked her up, "Take it all, my sister's intention is acceptable, just go and kiss my sister later." ”

Xiao Nan nodded happily and accepted it.

"Come on, all stand together, let me think about what to shoot? Everyone can speak enthusiastically, Xiao An, you can speak first. ”

Xiao An's eyes lit up and said, "There are many small stories in the many fairy tale books brought by Sister Sissi, so let's shoot them!" ”

Xiao Nan applauded in agreement.

Chu Xuan recalled it carefully and found that he hadn't really read much fairy tales, but a few familiar ones still remembered, but the specific plot was forgotten, but it didn't matter, it was good to simply fill in and change it.

Liu Qianqian then raised her hand to speak,

"Just shoot Little Red Riding Cycle, I think I can play her well!"

"Okay, good, Sister Sissi's performance is the best!"

Xiao An praised repeatedly, and Liu Qianqian said happily as if she had found a confidant: "Yes, Xiao An, have you watched "Dragon Babu", which has been released recently!" ”

"Yes, yes, Joe is too handsome, or a man with his own music, too fierce!"

"What about me?"

"Sister Sissi, who are you playing?"

“…”

Chu Xuan looked at her and looked down and was not comforted, but continued: "No, Xiao Nan plays Little Red Riding Hood, Xiao An plays Xiong Er in the forest to stop wolves from doing bad things, Sissi plays the sheep in wolf skin, Aunt Jiang is grandmother, and the distribution is reasonable!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qianqian protested.

"Ah, don't, I can't play the bad guy!"

Then he rolled his eyes and immediately said:

"If you don't play Cinderella, I think I can too!"

Chu Xuan changed the plot again, "That's okay, then you play a vicious witch, Xiao Nan is Cinderella, Xiao An is a prince, and Aunt Jiang is the queen!" ”

"Why am I always a villain? I'm a popular heroine in other people's stories, and the audience often has the most likes! ”

Liu Qianqian was not convinced, she either didn't act at all, or she simply wanted to play with Chu Xuan!

"At the very least, it's also an important female supporting role!"

"Then you are also an important supporting actress now, look at the character card, the story would not be complete without you, is it possible that you still want to compete with Xiao Nan for the heroine?"

Only then did Liu Qianqian admit defeat and snort at Chu Xuan angrily,

"That's okay, the female supporting role is the female supporting role, let's start, what do you want to say in the lines?"

Chu Xuan shrugged, why should the game be so serious, just play freely?

"I don't know, anyway, I've been recording it, and I don't need to edit it, just drop it, I don't have to think about the tone and environment of the lines, just act directly!"

Then he instructed Xiao Nan:

"Xiao Nan, just wait a minute, just make a simple comparison, don't take it too seriously, and then it doesn't matter if what we say is wrong."

"Woohoo." Xiao Nan nodded.

Five minutes later.

"Alright, let's get ready and get started!"

Chu Xuan started shooting in high spirits!

Subsequently, Cinderella played by Xiao Nan walked in the yard step by step, and suddenly Liu Qianqian stepped forward with a goat doll in her hand, and said in a way she thought was kind: "Little Red Riding Hood, where are you going?" ”

Xiao Nan pointed ahead and said that he was going to his grandmother's house.

Liu Qianqian hurriedly induced:

"It's dangerous to have werewolves along the way in the forest, I'll take you there, I happen to be familiar with the road."

Xiao Nan suddenly pretended to cry, and then took two steps back, she hadn't actually read the story of Little Red Riding Hood, because she didn't go to school and couldn't read, so she didn't follow the plot at all, but this was a bit embarrassing Liu Qianqian, so how should she take it?

"Little Red Riding Hood, don't cry, I'm your grandmother who asked me to come to you, I'm a sheep, baa baa~"

Liu Qianqian pretended to be a sheep and wanted to comfort her first, but at this time, Xiao An was already impatient to come on the field and shouted:

"You're not a sheep, I found the skeleton of a sheep in front of me, you're a wolf and you're wearing its clothes, Little Red Riding Hood run!"

Liu Qianqian was a little confused, but at this point, she simply revealed her true face, threw away the goat doll in her hand as if she had taken off the skin she was wearing, and then grabbed Xiao Nan with her teeth and claws.

Xiao Nan hurriedly ran, Xiao An chased after him, Liu Qianqian deliberately slowed down her pace and just shouted: "Don't run~ I'm going to catch you~"

It's just that Xiao Nan ran too quickly, and fell to the ground with an 'oops', Chu Xuan hurriedly shouted and was about to pass, but Xiao An quickly helped Xiao Nan to get up because he came faster next to him, obviously nothing happened, plus the clothes he wore in winter were also thick, and it didn't hurt to fall.

Xiao Nan stood up and smirked happily without knowing what she thought, Xiao An helped her pat the water stains melted by the snow while shushing and asking for warmth, and then Xiao An took Xiao Nan and ran over again with a smile and said to continue the game.

Chu Xuan laughed behind him, and he thought of the lyrics of a song:

A little touching rain has been made,

A little awkwardness hurts,

Little people don't know how to kiss yet.

Just like at this moment, the little hand is holding the little person.

Chu Xuan didn't know if they could keep the little eternity that belonged to each other in the future, Qingmei's story had been heard too much, but the ending still needed to depend on the parties, so he said loudly again:

"Okay, go ahead, Cinderella prepare."

In the blink of an eye, the night was already deep, and 12 midnight was coming.

At this moment, Chu Xuan and Liu Qianqian were sitting lazily on the stone bench, Xiao An and Xiao Nan still wanted to stop at twelve o'clock, but unfortunately they were strongly suppressed by Aunt Jiang with an apricot branch, and then went to sleep obediently.

In fact, the Chinese people do not attach so much importance to the New Year on the solar calendar, and the scientific explanation is actually that the astronomical earth completes 365.2425 revolutions, revolves around the sun, and then starts the next revolution cycle.

The New Year is more on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also said that the old and the new are said on this day, but the night before New Year's Day can't be so boring, right?

So part of its meaning is: a group of aimless young people, in order to release their emotions, simply want to stay up late with some people until the first day of the new year to seek some kind of comfort.

Liu Qianqian's eyes were already a little lowered at the moment, and her head was leaning on Chu Xuan's arm to support her spirit, maybe the strength of the wine finally came or she was tired from not resting much and then playing, but she still set aside a part of her mind to stare at the time on the phone: 23:58:46.

Liu Qianqian immediately became energetic and said excitedly: "Senior brother, come on, let's order a small gift together!" ”

She picked up the electric light flower she had bought, and then motioned for Chu Xuan to light the fire.

Chu Xuan didn't postpone it, this is just a small gift flower under the purple packaging is actually a slender stick of more than thirty centimeters, with some metal powder with a low ignition point on it, he didn't buy the big fireworks, 03 The suburbs of the capital can still set off fireworks, but there will be some disturbance on this road, so he chose this small and playable electric flower.

Then the voice of 'Blala' sounded, and in the blink of an eye, the light of the electric flower was reflected on the faces of the two like scattered meteors.

Liu Qianqian began to circle in the air with her arms while holding five or six sticks.

"Senior brother, you can play too."

Chu Xuan just smiled and shook his head, it was enough to watch her play.

But the electric light takes a short time, and it really looks like a meteor, and it only blooms for a few seconds before disappearing.

Liu Qianqian licked her lips and was a little unsatisfied, but when she bought it, she had already controlled the quantity, and she could experience it, because Chu Xuan believed in a sentence: If you play with fire too much, you will wet the bed.

"It's time, Sissi, it's New Year."

Chu Xuan took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, I'm a year older, you're a year older, melancholy."

Chu Xuan knew that this girl was deliberate, and she was quite stingy.

"Let's go, Aunt Jiang has made your bed, I'll take you over and sleep."

Liu Qianqian was a little unwilling, and felt that it was too wasteful to sleep now, so she said:

"Sit down again, let's talk."

Chu Xuan was unmoved: "You're about to fight, don't I see it?" ”

Liu Qianqian smiled: "Just for a while, for a while, very... No, eight points... Well, just five minutes! ”

Then the two of them sat back on the stone bench again, and the warm stone that had been sitting on was cold in just a few minutes, and the small stove beside it was also dying, covered with black wood ash, and only the light of the fire came out.

Liu Qianqian leaned on Chu Xuan's arm again, but it was obvious that the spirit just now was just a return to the light, and as soon as she relaxed, her eyes withered.

The crescent moon above his head was bright and pure, Chu Xuan stared at it intently, he didn't know how many people were looking at the same crescent moon at this moment tonight and telling what kind of lovesickness.

A thousand years ago, Wang Changling pinned on the tragic feelings of 'the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, and the long march of thousands of miles has not been returned'.

Su Shi is the beautiful wish of 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together',

And Chu Xuan was only willing to reveal the last trace of nostalgia at this time, about the past and about the old land, 'At that time, the bright moon was there, and he returned to the clouds. ’

It was only soon that a vibration sound came from his trouser pocket that woke Chu Xuan's thoughts, and he took out his mobile phone and looked at it only to find that there had been a lot of text messages, which he hadn't paid attention to before, but the most recent one was just sent by Gao Yuanyuan: Happy New Year.

Chu Xuan smiled and replied simply: Good night.

Then she didn't think about it anymore, but Liu Qianqian beside her fell into a deep sleep at some point, no wonder she was so obedient that no sound came out at all.

Chu Xuan gently grabbed her neck with one hand and dragged her lower leg with the other, then hugged her up, frowned, it should be more than 100 catties, this large piece of meat may be 105, and then walked towards the flat house, only in his heart to read a few words at the end:

"Good night, world."

"Good night, starry sky."

"Good night, all of you."
