Lin Piao seems to have begun to love him.

He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

That night, when Lin Piao returned to the courtyard, he and Qiu Yu and Xia He instructed them to write down this matter, arrange for those mixed races to be active, let them get used to it slowly, and then according to their development, how good or bad things are, and give them better rooms.

In fact, Lin Piao didn't dare to use them too much before, and there was a big reason that it was because their hearts were dead, they had no family to worry about, nothing important in their hearts, and nothing to restrain them.

This matter was handed over to Qiu Yu and Xia He, they knew how to do it, and they didn't need Lin Piao to ask too much.

After that, it is a matter of preparing for the New Year, and Lin Piao needs to personally pass the only purpose is the list of gifts and the list of gifts, and the list of gifts has been prepared by Shen Hong, Shen Hong knows very well how to give gifts to people, such as giving rare books that are more difficult to find, some more out-of-the-way but very elegant albums, which belong to the kind that is difficult to say that he bribes even if he is caught, and at the same time can achieve the effect of gift-giving, because the other party does not think that Shen Hong is bribing, giving some small things during the New Year's holidays, and making friends, how can it be considered a bribe?

This year, Lin Piao didn't worry about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone's taste and tasting level have come up, there is no need to prepare anything special, and a large table of delicious food can never run away.

The second aunt and the second pillar rushed over, originally they now have their own mansion, it stands to reason that it is better to spend the first year in their own home, the second aunt rushed in in a hurry.

"It's okay, I let them hold a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning, just eat early, eat that meal first at noon, there are so many good dishes left on the table, some have not moved, let the people inside and outside take it themselves, eat whatever they like, and it can be regarded as a lively time at home, I will come to your side again to make a scene."

She was thinking about celebrating the New Year with Lin Piao and Zheng Qiu, and every year at the New Year's vigil, they were chatting together on the fire, and they didn't know how interesting it was.

She glanced at Lin Piao, and was a little unsure in her heart, now that Shen Hong's court affairs were busy, Piao'er was busy solving problems for Shen Hong all day long, and she had less time to gossip with them, so she always got together with Shen Hong and talked about Shen Hong's problems in private.

But if it were only her and Zheng Qiu, it wouldn't be impossible, after all, Shen Hong's affairs were more important, and she also knew that Shen Hong was planning everything up and down the family, Shen Hong had a lot of things, and some things could not be said outside, and he couldn't say anything when he came back to his sister-in-law, so it was so depressing, not to mention that Piao'er raised him, and he was used to talking to Piao'er.

Nowadays, I really have a lot of things in my heart, and I always have to talk to Piao'er, and I get together from time to time, which shows that it is hard to do things outside.

They set off firecrackers and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and while Lin Piao was still free on the table, the second aunt pulled Lin Piao, and Uncle Qiu sat next to them, and the second aunt lowered her voice, and they whispered to themselves.

"Piao'er, don't you know, what you said earlier was really right, now the Mrs. Xiang family doesn't know how polite to us, the men of the Xiang family are all wars, and there is nothing to say, you can't be polite, they don't care about the affairs of the girls, but anyway, those ladies, big girls, and grandmothers are very polite."

"The two pillars are powerful, they value it in their hearts, so they naturally want to be polite."

The second aunt thought about it for a while, but still said: "But there is another thing that I feel uncomfortable with, and I shouldn't have said it, but I can't hold back from you, and I said that you should not be annoyed with me." ”

"Auntie, what are you doing to us?"

"I look at the people who are going to the family, polite is really polite, say this or that, say that, those who can follow us are very obedient to us, I am not the unreasonable person, never mess around, and I will not make them tolerate how uncomfortable, those maids also became obedient at once, just talk about this Shen Hong, talk about you, they have no good intentions in and out of the words, at first I thought that it is not that the maids from this big family are born with many eyes, and everyone has three hundred hearts, and then I saw that they are not like thatWhen I talked about others, I got a little angry and scolded them twice, and I thought something was wrong, could it be that they did it on purpose? ”

"Auntie, you have a good idea of what you ask."

"But what are they trying to do, we're a family, don't you miss me like this?"

"Xiang Jia's family naturally can't help Erzhu don't want to be a family with us, it's best to be a family with them, not to mention that Erzhu also pretended to have a temper with Shen Hong before, they must feel that there is a chance in this matter, and Erzhu and Shen Hong are not so good."

The second aunt was suddenly a little confused, she had thought of all the above things, she specially said this today, just to know, so what should she do? Erzhu and Shen Hong pretended to have a quarrel, so is she still good with Lin Piao or not? She wanted to keep going, but she wouldn't be able to come and play with everyone as often in the future.

"What about me? How do I do that? If you don't care, do you have to do something? ”

"Auntie, you don't have to care, Erzhu has already made trouble, you are also making trouble, people only think that the opportunity is greater, and it will not be good for us to meet again in the future, only Erzhu is troublesome, you just have to be good with us, and when the son is older, the mother can't take care of it, and the mother can't care if she wants to play with her friends."

In this way, we can form one, which seems to be in trouble but not completely in trouble, which does not seem to be too good, but is actually quite good, and has an opportunity to take advantage of it, but will not completely break down, full of uncertain charm, Erzhu and Shen Hong are in trouble, and the second aunt and Lin Piao are good, each with its own feelings.

"Auntie, as long as you don't back down, it's like Erzhu, whatever you want, no one else has to speak, so people will know your temper."

The second aunt nodded again and again: "Then I am not wrong, I said that I have always been the best with you, all the way from the village to Shangjing, I will be the best with you when the king of heaven and Laozi comes, but I scolded to the point." ”

Uncle Qiu smiled beside him: "It's a good scolding, but don't forget this word, we will be the best in the future." ”

The three of them talked and laughed for a while, Xiaoyue and Juan'er talked to each other, and from time to time the two of them chatted by themselves, Shen Hong and Erzhu and Ergou Dazhuang were talking on the side, and the four of them looked more serious, so they were not as relaxed as they were, and they nodded thoughtfully from time to time while talking about Ergou.

Shanzi was active outside, and when he came in to spread the news, he pulled him to sit down, found a place in the corner, and sat down to eat something together.

After they got together, ate delicious food, and drank some wine, Shanzi smiled embarrassedly, and said that he had sent a sum of money back for the New Year, and it happened that he had received a reply from his family two days ago, and the family was very happy.

Juan'er also talked about the things they sent back, and everyone talked about it, and they were very satisfied, although they missed their families, but after all, they were young girls who did not know the taste of sorrow, and they were very proud when they thought that they had sent so much money back to their families, and they felt that they were very promising.

Thinking of the days when it was so difficult to earn a copper plate in the countryside, now looking at this splendid house, it is like a world away.

Only Xiaoyue looked a little sad, and she was angry in her heart, but seeing that everyone was sending things home, she seemed to have no home, and she was less lively, and her heart was empty.

Everyone knew about Xiaoyue's family, and when they saw this, they said: "Xiaoyue, you just give it to us, or give it to Hu Ci, we have to thank you for this New Year's Festival, it's lively." ”

It's not much better than the wolf-hearted ones in her house.

Xiao Yue smiled and lifted her spirits: "It's a good plan to rob me." ”

Hu Ci sat next to him and giggled, I don't know if the second aunt has any special talent for raising children, although now that the second aunt has moved out, Hu Ci follows Uncle Qiu, but that virtue is more and more like Erzhu.

When it came to the New Year's Day banquet, he didn't say anything, just sat next to him and hugged the chicken leg and nibbled on the duck leg and hugged the sauce big pig's trotters to nibble, he didn't have any topic, just sat next to him and followed the feast, looking at everyone with big black eyes, laughing and laughing.

After their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they went outside to set off firecrackers.

The firecracker was wrapped in red paper and inserted in the snow, and the fuse was a faint silver-white color, and when it burned in the dark, it was a small spark, and it was quickly lit to the end, and it exploded with a bang, and the red paper clothes and broken snow exploded everywhere.

Lin Piao and Xiao Yuejuan'er both held a well-lit incense stick in their hands, while Erzhu and Ergou held a fire fold in their hands, and whoever wanted to go up and light firecrackers would be handed to whomever they wanted.

In addition to the firecrackers, which are long ropes twisted like leads, there should be a little other thing added to them, and a little bit of it crackles and explodes a small spark.

Until the fast burning came to hand, Uncle Qiu said: "Throw it quickly, throw it quickly, and be careful to blow up your hands." ”

Juan'er quickly let go and threw it out, and the remaining piece was burned out half-dead in the snow, but Xiaoyue was very bold, pinching a little bit of the tip of the tail, until there was only a little left to burn up to the hand, and then she let go of her hand and threw it out, and the remaining little bit burned out in the air before it could hit the ground.

Lin Piao watched them play, and Erzhu and Ergou set off a lot of firecrackers, and a few of them were big firecrackers with a thick thumb, which exploded in the night with a bang.

Then there were the fireworks, and they bought some of them, and let the servants take them to the little clearing in the distance, and they stood here and watched from afar, lest they get too close and get into trouble.

Lin Piao watched as the little light flew into the sky, then turned into a firework and quickly disappeared, overall lackluster, nothing to see, but scarcity was the best.

Lin Piao watched the monotonous fireworks explode in the sky, moved his body slightly, and gently bumped Shen Hong with his shoulder.

Fireworks are not as good as Shen Hong.

Lin Piao glanced sideways at Shen Hong.

So it's worth it for him to be here.

Seeing this, Shen Hong approached lightly and gently slapped Lin Piao's shoulder with his shoulder.

This is their festival.

It was not until the end of the New Year's celebration that in the early hours of the morning, bursts of firecrackers rang out one after another outside, and they also went to the gate of the house to set off firecrackers.

The second aunt was so sleepy that they yawned, and on the way back they were like frosted eggplants: "No, we have to go back to sleep quickly." ”

Uncle Qiu also yawned constantly, and Xiaoyue said, "We can sleep a lot tomorrow, and we don't have anything to do during the New Year, so we basically don't need to be busy." ”

"Tongxilou is still not idle, I don't want to Yuemingfang, I set clothes to wear every year, the first day of the new year, the second and third days of the new year, and it is estimated that there will still be some meals delivered to the people in the house."

"You can always rest in the morning, and when the sun rises, you can be busy in the afternoon and afternoon, and now you don't have to keep an eye on it."

Lin Piao listened to them quietly, usually he should have been sleepy, but today he was in a good mood, and he only felt unfinished.

The second aunt and the second pillar didn't go back to the house, so they rested in the house here.

Lin Piao and Shen Hong walked slowly behind, and no one cared about them, the people in front of them dispersed, and they were still walking behind.

I felt like I couldn't get enough of it, but I didn't know what else to do.

If you don't sleep, the nights are too long.

The two walked slowly, and Lin Piao deliberately stepped on the snow to play, squeaking and crunching.

"Is there any other place where I can watch the fireworks?"

"You don't need to go inside, just stand in a place where you can see it, but I'm afraid it's already time."

"Yes, it's past twelve o'clock."

"You can go and see the lights."

"The lights over there will be lit all night, especially during the New Year."

When Lin Piao heard him say this, "It seems that I haven't been missing it." ”

"Piao'er, it's all entertainment, listen to it and remember it before you can talk to others."

When Lin Piao heard him say this, he burst out laughing, and thought that Shen Hong was very calm every time, but he was actually accumulating talking points, and he felt very funny.

"If you're not sleepy, let's go out and see the lanterns again."

"Now?"

"Now."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow we have dinner, go out a little later, it's too late." Although Lin Piao was still unsatisfied, he still felt that it was too late now, and it was time to lie in bed and prepare for sleep.

Shen Hong nodded silently for a moment: "I just thought that there were fewer people on the street now, and it would not be crowded. ”

Lin Piao was stunned for a moment, yes, there were few people, it was not necessarily crowded, and no one would notice them in the middle of the night.

The lanterns, the streets, everything belongs to them, and they don't have to be careful.

"Let's go out and watch the lanterns." Lin Piao turned around and said that he would leave.

Shen Hong quickly followed from behind, smiling lightly beside him.

The two of them slipped out and went outside, although there were fewer people, but the middle-aged man who sold the lanterns was still there, and he was tired of guarding the beautiful and bright lanterns, one by his side, above his head, little rabbits, little goldfish, clustered with sleepy him.

The two bought two goldfish lanterns and carried them in their hands and began to walk along the street, looking for where they could best see the lanterns.

Walking and stopping, then standing on the bank of the river, I saw the whole field of lanterns on the opposite side, the lights reflected in the water, burning and shaking in the water, brilliant and bright.

"It's beautiful." Lin Piao couldn't help but admire.

Shen Hong stretched out his hand to hold his hand, wanting to feel the scenery, but was attracted by the cold hand in his palm: "After reading it, I went back, your hand is already very cold." ”

"It's okay, it's cold, that's it." Lin Piao's mouth was hard.

Chapter 157

Shen Hong didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as Shen Hong said it, Lin Piao felt a little cold.

Originally, it was very cold outside in winter, but when I came out of the house, because of the fire and full of food and drink, I drank a lot of osmanthus rice wine, and my body was lazily covered with loose heat, and I didn't feel cold when the cold came up.

Now that I've been walking outside for so long, the heat has long since dissipated, my hands are a little cold, and my feet seem to be a little stiff.

I don't know if it's because I'm standing on this side of the river and looking at the scenery, the lawn is full of broken snow, and when I step in, I think it's funny, but now I feel that my shoes and socks are cold and refreshing, and I don't know if it's wet or just too cold.

"It would be nice to have a place to sit for a while, to have a fire." Lin Piao didn't want to go back for the time being, and when it was time to sleep, neither he nor Shen Hong could stay in each other's yards for a long time, even if they were roasting, they could only stay in their respective rooms, and there was no reason to get together.

When Shen Hong saw him say this, he understood that he didn't want to go back, so he said: "Now that the teahouses everywhere are closed, there is no place for us to settle down except for the flower building. ”

The small courtyard was the one that Shen Hong had taken Lin Piao to before.
