Chapter 198: One Big and One Small on Chinese New Year's Eve
After the small year, it is not far from the real Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Shengge has no feelings about the New Year, when he was in the Shen Mountain before, this Taoist may be in retreat even on Chinese New Year's Eve, where did he care about this kind of thing, as for Li Fusha, a guy who has no family, he has no idea about the New Year.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xiaoxue's family in the next house personally came to the door by Li Xiaoxue's mother to invite Ye Shengge and Li Fusha over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, saying that Miss Ye took the little girl to don't know how much of this breakfast she had eaten.
Li Fuyao didn't want to step into that house again, but after Ye Shengge readily agreed, Li Xiaoxue came to pull Li Fuyao's sleeve again, insisting on letting him pass.
In the end, there was really no way, so Li Fuyao walked into the house again.
After many years, I saw the middle-aged man whose face had not changed much in that mansion again, Li Fusha, who was dressed in a green shirt, looked calm, and did not drink when eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, probably Li Fushao did not want to drink, and the middle-aged man felt bored drinking alone, so after only half an hour, Li Fushao got up after eating, did not leave the small courtyard, just sat under the eaves and looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
Ye Shengge ate slowly, and there was a lot of gossip with the woman, plus Li Xiaoxue, a total of three people, delayed a little more time at that table.
A middle-aged man in a thick winter coat came over with a pot of coals and put it in front of Li Fuyao, while he sat next to Li Fuyao and stretched out his hands to the brazier to warm the fire.
Li Fuyao did not speak.
But the middle-aged man with the same surname as him said with a smile: "Childe doesn't feel a little uncomfortable living in the house rented by Miss Ye?"
Li Fuyao said calmly, "The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes don't care so much. β
The middle-aged man nodded, "It's just that Miss Ye can't see that she is the kind of woman who walks the rivers and lakes at all, but she thinks that she is the kind of lady from a big family, and she is so generous, even if she walks on the rivers and lakes, her family background will not be too bad." β
Li Fuyao thought about it, and finally just nodded.
"Childe doesn't look like the kind of young man who walks the rivers and lakes. β
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled.
Li Fuyao frowned and asked, "What's not like it?"
The middle-aged man said as a matter of course: "Where are the heroes of the rivers and lakes who don't drink when they go out." β
Li Fu pinched the corner of his clothes, and then stretched out a hand to roast it, "I also drank when I left the sect at the beginning, but then I encountered some things, and I thought about it myself, and I felt that drinking was not good. β
The middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "The truth is this truth, but there are still not many people who can listen to it." β
Li Fuyao didn't care, just rubbed his cheeks, and then lost his mind a little.
The middle-aged man picked up the iron tongs beside him and pulled out the brazier, and then said softly: "Actually, at the age of Childe, there are already people who have gone out and wandered around, but there are not many, Childe should not have reached the crown yet, right?"
He Guanyi said, whether it is Da Zhou or Yanling, in fact, it is the same, twenty parties are only crowned, Li Fuyao was only sixteen years old when he left Baiyu Town, and now three years have passed, and he is only nineteen years old, and there is still a year away from the crown.
The crown ceremony is a relatively important day for ordinary people, but it is not so important for those mountain monks who have a lifespan of hundreds or thousands.
However, Li Fuyao still whispered, "It's nineteen this year." β
The middle-aged man, who was digging out the brazier, shook his hand, but quickly returned to normal, and then withdrew the tongs and sighed.
Li Fuyao looked at the man whose sideburns were already a little gray by the firelight, with a complicated expression.
In those years, this man would come back from the outside every day, and he would bring some gadgets, either a rattle, or a small brass ring, or a string of sugar gourds, compared with the woman in the house, this man who had read books for many years had a much better temper, not to mention that this man always seemed to have a few pieces of sugar hidden in his arms, and when he jumped back to the small courtyard in front of this house, the woman would definitely reprimand him loudly, but this man would always take out a clean cloth to clean his face that he had made by playing outside that day, and then when he smiled and stretched out his hand, he took out two pieces of candy from his arms with a gentle smileγ
One for him, and one for the woman.
As for himself, he never eats sugar.
Then the woman would surely tell him aloud that eating the candy would make his teeth go bad, and he would not take the candy, and finally let a man have two pieces of candy, and he would happily listen to the man's story.
Li Fuyao was able to make a living by telling stories in Baiyu Town in those years, except for the cheeky ability to go to those storytellers to ask for advice, he was really able to survive because of the stories he heard from this man's mouth.
In fact, before this man was in business, he was really one of those storytellers in the big restaurant in Luoyang City, and he saved a lot of money by telling stories, so he started other businesses, and now this family business is probably earned by him little by little.
In fact, even Li Fuyao at that time was thinking, why was this man able to endure the woman's temper?
It's just that I haven't thought about it for too long.
After sitting under the eaves for a long time, the middle-aged man said to the end, thought about it and then said: "If it has nothing to do with Childe, my kid, if he is still alive, he should be the age of Childe." β
Li Fuyao turned his head and looked at him.
The middle-aged man put a few pieces of charcoal into the brazier and said gently, "My kid, when I first named him before, my daughter-in-law said that I could just deal with what I called, if I didn't have to be unwilling, I gave him the word Fuyao, maybe even if he is alive now, he also feels that his name is not pleasing, why is it called Fuyao, the story is the story I heard when I was young, it is said that there is a kind of fish in the North Sea, called Kun, which is very big and big, and it is the largest fish in the North Sea." Of course, I don't know if it's true, the story says that one day, when this kun grows big enough, it will turn into a bird, flapping its wings from the North Sea, and becoming Peng, even if it becomes a bird, in fact, it is the biggest bird in the world, this story is over here, I think the meaning is really good, but you can't name the kid Kunpeng, it's not good, and then I heard a poem in Luoyang City, I don't know who wrote it, anyway, it's about this story, in fact, who wrote it differently? We don't have much else in Yanling, the most are readers. There is a sentence in the poem that soars to 90,000 miles, and I like it very much, so I decided on the two words of Fuyao, so when I named the kid later, I used these two words. Li Fuyao Li Fuyao, what does Childe think?"
Li Fuyao nodded, "The name is good, but how did that Li Gongzi die?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "Dead? I didn't say the kid was dead?"
Li Fuyao's heart tightened.
The middle-aged man immediately said: "It's just that the family suffered and was sent away, but it's only such an old child, and after being sent away, it will be difficult to survive." β
Li Fuyao asked casually: "What kind of trouble did you suffer to send your own son away?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Living in Luoyang City, it's easy to say it's easy, it's not easy to say, it's naturally not easy, that kid encountered something before, I don't know whether to say that he is lucky or unlucky, if it weren't for that incident, even if this kid is not promising, he can probably grow up carefree." β
Li Fuyao was silent, did not continue to ask, just pinched the corner of his clothes and looked at the brazier in front of him.
The middle-aged man sighed, "Anyway, I'm sorry for him." β
Li Fuyao suddenly asked, "If you are asked to choose again, how will you choose?"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and was just about to speak, when a loud noise sounded in the night in the distance.
One after another.
It turned out that it was already time to pass, and every household was lighting firecrackers.
Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
The sound of firecrackers comes and goes, and it is endless.
Colorful fireworks appeared in the sky.
The little girl Li Xiaoxue ran out of the house, ignoring the heavy snow in the yard, standing in the yard and looking up, looking at the colorful fireworks, her little face was full of expectation.
The middle-aged man shook his head, picked up an oil-paper umbrella next to him, went to the courtyard to prop up his daughter, and stood beside the little girl, the middle-aged man quickly picked up the little girl and looked up at the sky together.
Ye Shengge walked out of the house and stood beside Li Fuyao.
The woman had no interest in such things, so she did not go out.
Ye Shengge asked in a very low voice, "Li Fuyao, what did you talk about?"
The sound was not loud, and it was tightly blocked by the sound of firecrackers, so it was not transmitted to the second person to hear.
Li Fuyao stood under the eaves and shook his head, "What else can I say, it's just useless words." β
Ye Shengge smiled but did not speak.
Li Fuyao looked at the fireworks blooming outside, and he didn't plan to speak.
Ye Shengge suddenly said: "Li Fuyao, the little girl told me before that their house never sets off fireworks, she doesn't know why, do you know?"
Li Fu was stunned, frowning slightly.
Ye Shengge smiled: "It seems to be because of you." β
Li Fuyao laughed.
He doesn't know why the little girl doesn't set off fireworks in her house now, but a long time ago, the reason why there were no fireworks in this house where there was still a little boy was because the little kid named Li Fuyao couldn't get used to the smell of gunpowder from fireworks.
So in those years, there were never fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve in this house.
As for now, it may be because of this.
Continue.
Li Fuyao had a smile on his face.
But not much, and very light.
