Chapter 57: Leaving the Old and Welcoming the New
Maybe it's because I'm too idle, but in winter, it seems like time flies faster than the other three seasons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, time has not changed in any way, it is people who have changed. If you think about it, after a busy year, you finally look forward to a free time, so people always hope that it can stay longer.
In any case, the Chinese New Year is always full of joy and festivity. If the weather is fine, people go around to visit relatives and friends, and there is always too much to say when relatives and friends they haven't seen for a long time.
And if it snows, it doesn't matter. Several people gathered in groups of three or five to drink some hot wine around the warm stove, and the mood was also very happy.
This is Yang Xiaofeng's first year in Luoxue Valley, and it is also the only New Year festival in the past ten years that makes him feel warm instead of sad, because of Luo Qingxue's company. It's just that, for some reason, although he stayed with Luo Qingxue all day long, he always felt a little empty in his heart, was it because of the lack of the old man named Li Muqing around him this year?
He only now realized that, ten years later, he had developed a deep dependence on the old man, just as all children do to their fathers.
If my father were still alive......
Today, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, as soon as Yang Xiaofeng arrived at the Leaf Building, Luo Qingxue sent him a big cloth bag.
"For me"?
"Hmm".
"What's this?"
"Gifts".
"Gifts"?
"Yes, New Year's gift".
Facing his curious and puzzled eyes, she smiled lightly: "Now, open it and take a look."
"Open it now"?
"What nonsense, hurry up and open it".
"Oh, what a ......", Yang Xiaofeng hurriedly opened the cloth bag, it was a brand-new blue cloth gown, of course, there was also a thick fur robe, plus a pair of soft leather warm boots, and two sets of cotton yarn underwear, and naturally there were two pairs of trousers.
"How's that, do you like it"?
Yang Xiaofeng was inexplicably moved and said, "This is all for me"?
"Of course".
"You did it"?
Luo Qingxue blushed suddenly, shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't have this skill, I specially asked my sister-in-law to make it for you, but the fabrics are all personally selected by me." Knowing that you don't like too expensive fabrics, choose ordinary silk fabrics. Come, put it on quickly, and let me see if it fits."
Yang Xiaofeng wrapped the clothes again and said with a light smile: "Big brother has already prepared a lot of clothes for me, let's save these for later."
Luo Qingxue immediately lowered her face and said, "Why, you don't like it, it seems that I am too careful."
"Uh......", Yang Xiaofeng hurriedly smiled: "Look at what you say, how can I not like it." Well, anyway, it's time for a new year."
"It's almost ......", Luo Qingxue didn't say much, took the cloth shirt from her bag, and put it on him without saying anything, but suddenly stopped again, and pouted: "Hurry up and take off the old one on your body, and try to replace this new one."
Yang Xiaofeng hurriedly took off his old clothes, and then said cautiously: "That, I'll do it myself."
Luo Qingxue was a little displeased and said, "What, are you afraid that I won't be able to wear clothes or what?"
"Uh, okay", Yang Xiaofeng didn't dare to say more, so she had to let her dress herself and tie her clothes together.
Luo Qingxue took two steps back, looked at him carefully, nodded again and again for a while, and then smiled and exclaimed: "Well, not bad, this is really people rely on clothes and makeup, and Buddha relies on gold makeup." I can't see it, you're pretty chic after changing it. Well, with this outfit, it's barely worthy of me."
"What's ......", Yang Xiaofeng pouted dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm already very chic, okay, what does it have to do with clothes."
Luo Qingxue couldn't help laughing, and deliberately teased him: "Yes, why didn't I see it before!"
Yang Xiaofeng didn't dare to say that it was your eyes that were not good, and he didn't even understand what she meant for a while, and subconsciously nodded and said, "Of course...... Uh......".
Immediately, he finally reacted, and immediately nodded very seriously: "Hey, no, listening to you say this, don't you think I'm chic?"
Looking at his serious look, although he knew that he was deliberately pretending to show her, Luo Qingxue couldn't help but snicker, and no longer teased him, nodding with a smile: "Okay, okay, you're very chic." So may I ask our very chic Yang Gongzi, can we go now?"
"Let's go, of course ......", Yang Xiaofeng was obviously very flattered by her compliment, grinning for a while, and nodded with a rather complacent smile, but then he was puzzled: "Go, where are you going?"
Luo Qingxue looked at him in surprise, looking like I doubted your IQ, and after a while, seeing that he still didn't react, he sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Don't you know that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve?"
Yang Xiaofeng was still confused: "I know, but what about the New Year"?
Luo Qingxue felt that it was time for him to stew some ginseng and chicken soup to replenish his brain. She obviously felt now that she had overestimated him too much before, and it seemed that from this moment on, it was time to rebuild his image in her heart, alas, ....... glanced at him at the moment, and said angrily: "Actually, the New Year is nothing, but don't you know that we juniors always have to congratulate the elders on the New Year?"
"New Year's greetings, oh...... , yes, yes, yes, you should go to ......", Yang Xiaofeng suddenly realized for a while, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and nodded again and again. was about to make a long speech, but was interrupted by Luo Qingyu.
"It's rare, it's really rare......."
Luo Qingxue and Yang Xiaofeng asked in unison, "What is rare"?
Luo Qingyu didn't answer directly, but just stared at his sister in surprise for a while, and then muttered, "It's strange, it's really strange." Xiao Xue, you can still think of going to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, it's really strange."
Luo Qingxue muttered dissatisfiedly: "What's so strange about New Year's greetings, didn't you celebrate the New Year for your elders?"
Luo Qingyu smiled and said: "Of course, there is nothing unusual about New Year's greetings, but Xiao Xue, you actually remembered to go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, which is a little strange......."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Xiaofeng intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Did you say, Xiaofeng?"
"Uh, what's ...... this", Yang Xiaofeng almost subconsciously nodded in agreement, it seemed that he still agreed with Luo Qingyu's statement, but seeing that Luo Qingxue's cold eyes were already looking at him, he immediately laughed dryly, and hurriedly stopped talking, not daring to say more.
Luo Qingyu laughed more and more, and said: "I remember that I just told my father a few days ago that although a person's personality is extremely difficult to change, it is not absolutely impossible to change, and now that I think about it, my opinion is really unreliable." Who said that a person's heart is difficult to change, in fact, it is still very easy for a person to change his own heart, it mainly depends on who it is for, do you say yes, Xiaoxue, ah, hehe......".
How could Luo Qingxue not hear that the eldest brother meant something, although she tried her best to remain calm, trying her best to pretend that she didn't understand, but when she quietly glanced at Yang Xiaofeng, she found that he was also looking at herself with a smile, and her face suddenly became hot, and she said angrily: "Big brother, what do you mean by this, it seems that there is something in the words."
Just now, her face was hot, in order to make her sister's face not only hot, but also a little red, Luo Qingyu deliberately teased her: "Can't you really hear my extraneous sound?"
Sure enough, Luo Qingxue's face suddenly had a faint flush.
Luo Qingyu looked at Yang Xiaofeng with a smile again, and asked, "What about Xiaofeng, can you hear it?"
Yang Xiaofeng had already tilted his head to the side.
He knew very well that he would inevitably be devastated by Ah Xue later, and it was better for him to pretend to be confused at this time.
It's best not to say a word at all.
Seeing the two of them like this, Luo Qingyu was bored for a while and said, "It's boring." Hey, I said, you're all deaf, didn't you hear me asking you, why didn't you all open your mouth to reply?"
Luo Qingxue snorted coldly and said, "Brother, you talk so much, you can't say a few words, early in the morning, you don't have a dry mouth."
"I've had morning tea, okay, why do you still have a dry mouth......
Luo Qingxue was about to argue with her eldest brother, but she didn't want to be stopped by Yang Xiaofeng with her eyes, so she had to stop talking for a while.
Yang Xiaofeng said with a straight face: "Big brother, is there something wrong?"
"Isn't this the New Year, I'm really too busy to be alone, there are indeed some trivial chores that I want you to help deal with, but, alas, ......", Luo Qingyu sighed, and said helplessly: "Since you and Xiaoxue, the two of you are going to visit the New Year, then I won't bother you."
"I don't know if it's ......", Yang Xiaofeng was about to ask what was the matter, but was interrupted by Luo Qingxue and said: "What do you care about him, go for a walk, go to pay New Year's greetings."
"But ......."
"Let's go, ......", Luo Qingxue directly took Yang Xiaofeng's hand and urged: "New Year's greetings can't be delayed."
"But big brother, he didn't mean ......."
"But what", Luo Qingxue didn't give Yang Xiaofeng a chance to speak at all, and directly dragged his arm and pulled it out.
"Big brother, just let him go and get busy by himself, let's ignore him at all, right, brother......."
In the distance, it seems that Luo Qingyu's resentful sigh can be heard from behind him: "Alas, women, women ......."
said that it was a New Year's greeting, but in fact, it was just being pulled around by Luo Qingxue for most of the day.
Of course, at the beginning, I did go to meet a few elders, but almost everyone looked at the two of them with a stunned or even surprised look. Yang Xiaofeng was a little uncalm at that time, and Luo Qingxue was even more unnatural, so that the two of them didn't say the words of compliment and blessing that they had thought of on the way here.
After changing one or two companies quite awkwardly, Yang Xiaofeng was fine, but Luo Qingxue couldn't stand their eyes anymore.
"What's the matter, we two are not monsters, why do they all look at us like this. Is it so surprising that I came out to pay New Year's greetings to my elders, it's really ......."
Regarding her dissatisfaction, Yang Xiaofeng had no choice but to smirk twice and pretend not to hear anything.
"In this case, what year do you still worship, let's go for a walk, we won't worship this year."
Yang Xiaofeng asked tentatively: "Really don't worship"?
"Don't worship ...... anymore".
"Oh, okay......", Yang Xiaofeng didn't dare to have any other ideas, let alone the slightest disobedience to her, so he had to follow her and say: "Since we don't pay New Year's greetings, I don't know what we should do next?"
"Next, this, let me think about it first......", Luo Qingxue lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, suddenly her eyes lit up, and her beautiful eyes instantly moved to Yang Xiaofeng, staring at him for a while, and she didn't know what to think, she began to nod her head incessantly, and muttered in her mouth: "Well, that's it."
Yang Xiaofeng was seen by her as unnatural all over her body, and she became more and more weak, and finally said in a hairy manner: "You...... Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hehe......", Luo Qingxue laughed: "It's nothing...... Nothing...... Really ......".
Yang Xiaofeng's heart was raised, and he said in horror: "You...... What do you want to do"?
Luo Qingxue smiled more and more happily, squinted her eyes slightly and said, "What do you say?"
Yang Xiaofeng's legs were weak, and he resisted the urge to escape with his legs at the moment, and barely showed a smile that was still ugly to cry, and said in a trembling voice: "How do I know, you...... You're not trying to toss me, are you?"
"That's right......", Luo Qingxue snickered and nodded, blinked, and said playfully: "But there is no reward."
"Help", Yang Xiaofeng finally remembered to escape, but before he could move, his arm was grabbed by Luo Qingxue.
Luo Qingxue said softly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that after you change your clothes, although the whole person does look a lot more energetic, but after a closer look, it is still not very harmonious overall." For example, your hair is so messy. You see if this is good, anyway, if you are idle, let me comb your makeup myself. I promise, after my outfit this time, you'll definitely look like new. Don't forget that today is the New Year, is the so-called going to the old and welcoming the new, what do you think, hehe......".
