Chapter 97, Years (please subscribe!)
Lu An said: "You have learned the lesson of the oil seller. There is a truth, and you will get better with more practice. This is what makes perfect."

After all the fuss about worshiping ancestors and Bodhisattvas, they are all in a good mood, and the year of the two of them is also festive.

It was cold outside, and as soon as the firecrackers were over, Lu An dragged her into the house, pulled the latch as soon as the door was closed, and ate the New Year's Eve dinner.

Lu Ann asked, "Would you like some soju tonight?"

Yu Wanzhi looked at the dishes on the table and said, "The dishes are good, let's have a drink."

Lu An poured two glasses of wine, placed one in front of her, and asked, "Do you have any taboos during Chinese New Year?"

Yu Wanzhi thought about it and said no, "After the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, we usually get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and chat for a while."

Then she asked: "Do you still have any taboos during Chinese New Year?"

Lu An said: "There are many things, such as chopsticks can't fall to the ground, bones can't be called bones, but they should be called fortune.

Don't say you can't eat anymore, but say you've eaten well, you can't pour water on the front door, you can't sweep the floor, you can't wash or comb your hair, and you can't scold.

Seeing her listening with gusto, Lu Ann told her a lot of rural customs.

After listening, Yu Guanzhi said with a warm smile: "I will not be able to marry in the countryside in the future, and I am not qualified to be a rural daughter-in-law."

Lu An waved his hand: "Actually, it's just a rant. There are children in the family, and chopsticks are always unavoidable. We also have couples who often quarrel over who gets up to cook New Year's Eve dinner. Two lazy people always hope that the other party will cook and eat by themselves." Ready-made, the result is often that the two of them are cursing and doing it at the same time, cursing until dawn."

"Come on, for the New Year's Eve dinner, there is more than enough every year, eat some fish, the meaning of fish is extremely good." Lu An greeted.

"it is good."

Yu Guanzhi, who frequently dropped his chopsticks from Mao Xuewang, imitated the example, eating and touching each bowl.

Because it's too old, I have to go early tomorrow morning, but I can't drink too much. Let's just have a glass of soju, and then I can concentrate on cooking.

After the meal, Yu Wanzhi said to him: "Chinese New Year has not been this interesting for many years, it's so lively here."

Lu An followed suit: "Then find a husband, Bao Qing."

Later he said: "Forget it, the folk customs here are tough, I guess no one will catch your eye."

Yu Wanzhi smiled, didn't answer, and got up to help clean up the dishes.

There was no TV at home, so they couldn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala. The two could only stare at each other. Finally, Lu An opened the door and walked out: “The snow outside seems to be getting lighter. I’m going to build a snowman.”

Yu Wanzhi looked out the window. The snow was indeed much lighter than it was two hours ago. She happily found a scarf from the suitcase and wrapped it around her neck and said, "I'll be with you."

Lu An handed him a kitchen shovel: "Let's divide the work, I will roll the snowdrift, and you will shape it."

Yu Wanzhi took the shovel, and although he didn't speak, he looked at him brightly.

The snow was thick on the ground, and he had two hands of strength, so it was not easy to roll the snowdrift. After rolling the courtyard wall, he rolled out a head the size of a millstone.

Then he ran out of the courtyard, started rolling from the entrance of the alley, and rolled all the way to the entrance of the courtyard, and there was another big ball with a diameter of about [-] centimeters.It's just that the **** ball is big enough, it took a lot of effort, and it took him a long time to get it in the yard.

When the two balls were overlapped, LuAnn's head was already sweating.

Yu Wanzhi said to him: "You take a break and leave the rest to me."

Lu An worriedly asked: "Is your body able to bear it?"

Yu Wanzhi said: "Fortunately, my clothes are warmer, as long as it's not windy, I'm fine."

Seeing that she was full of interest, Lu An didn't spoil the fun, stomped at the door, kicked off the snow on her body and feet, and went back into the house.

He planned to take a bath. According to the customs of Hui County, taking a bath means getting rid of the old and ushering in the new, and the meaning is extremely good.

Even those tired and lazy people who don't get wet all year round, they have to take a quick bath every year, twist their hair, cut off their nails, and have a good year.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, when he reappeared in the yard, the snowman had already become a snowman, with clear features, eyes made of charcoal, an orange nose, two red ribbons for the mouth, and the scarf around Yu Wanzhi's neck was gone. Now, it's on the snowman's neck.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Yu Guanzhi, who was bending over to get into shape, didn't look back, and happily asked, "Does it look good?"

LuAnn walked around the snowman and said, "It's good, but this bald head is almost interesting."

Yu Wanzhi moved his gaze to the snowman's head, "I didn't bring a winter hat."

Lu An rolled his eyes, ran to the kitchen and took out the iron pot, put a cover on it, and it was done immediately.

Yu Wanzhi glanced at him, then at Snowman, the smile on his face bloomed like a flower, layer after layer.

At the end, she took out the camera from the house and said to him, "Stand over there, and I'll take a photo for you."

"Row."

Lu Ann leaned over, obeyed her command, and took four or five photos in a row.

"Give me the camera, and you'll take a picture with the fruits of your labor." Luan stretched out his hand.

"Ah."

Yu Wanzhi is usually a very reserved person, but facing the snowman he made by himself, he still had fun posing a few poses that were not too exaggerated.

Tongzilou, behind the window glass on the second floor, Liao Shiqi looked at the two people in the yard and asked her mother next to her: "Widow Zhang, are you jealous?"

Widow Zhang patted the dead child, no matter how big or small, and turned her head back to the bed.

Liao Shiqi continued to condescend to watch for a while, and finally drew the curtains, and said to Widow Zhang on the bed: "I will study hard in my next life."

Widow Zhang took the woolen work and started fighting, "Don't give up, you are not suitable for studying, and our family doesn't have that kind of stuff."

Liao Shiqi never treated her like a mother, so she said straight away: "That's better than you crawling on someone's bed in the middle of the night."

These days, she was used to being bullied by her daughter, and Widow Zhang was already invulnerable and invulnerable.

Seeing that she couldn't beat her own mother, Liao Shiqi sighed and said: "If you become successful that night, you might really be able to change the fact that the Liao family can't study."

Widow Zhang said, "Then it's not the seed of the Liao family."

Liao Shiqi was so angry that she directly moved the portrait of her father and placed it heavily on the bed.

Widow Zhang's eyes fell on the black and white posthumous photos. After a while, she suddenly said to her daughter: "You will finish your studies in three months, and we will leave Guifei Lane by then."

Liao Shiqi asked, "Where are you going?"

Widow Zhang said: "Mom has already contacted your aunt. You go to Changshi to join her, and I will go back to your father's hometown."

Liao Shiqi asked: "You always wanted to be a city dweller, why did you leave?"

Widow Zhang didn't make a sound for the first time, and it took a long time before she replied "tired".

After busying themselves, Lu An and Yu Wanzhi returned to the house. He pointed to the scarf on the snowman and asked:
"You won't take it back?"

Yu Wanzhi shook his head lightly: "Building a snowman is my childhood memory, and it happened only once after a long time. I am very happy today, let's keep it as a souvenir."

After she cleaned the flakes of snow off her head, Lu Ann said, "Now that hot water is readily available, why don't you take a bath too, or you'll be cold."

Yu Wanzhi said yes without hesitation.

Mengqingchi is very clean on weekdays, and I like to take a bath. There is a bathtub in the shower room. Just put a few buckets of hot water in it and close the door. It is very warm.

Lu Ann handed her a new towel: "The conditions are a bit rough, so you'll just leave."

Yu Wanzhi didn't pick it up, but found stacks of things such as towels and shower gel from his suitcase, "It's already very good, much better than I expected, thank you."

It is very troublesome for women to take a bath in winter. Lu An didn't expect to recover immediately, so he simply found out the textbook and started to review it on the sofa.

It may be because of the Chinese New Year, or it may be that the sound of firecrackers outside is too noisy. At this time, it is difficult to calm my mind, and I am distracted when I read the book.

He thought of his eldest sister and third sister, of Qingchi, and of many other people, from this life and from the past, and suddenly burst into tears as he thought of his children, his children and grandchildren, and the 1000 yuan in his bank card. How much.

In his previous life, he was brainwashed every day by those so-called experts from the self-media, always saying that the future economy will not be good, and always saying that the future will be difficult, which made him save a lot of money and save a lot of money.

But now, it's flying.

Alas, it's really hard to think about it, and I don't know whether my confidante saw me collapsed, drank the red wine in the glass and walked away, or hugged me and cried loudly.

I don't know how long it has passed, but when Lu An was still immersed in his own world, Yu Wanzhi came out of the shower and walked over.

Seeing that his face was full of tears, she remained silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Do you miss home?"

Lu An reached out and wiped his face carelessly, and said with a smile: "No, I don't know why, I shed tears while sitting, and you said that the north wind didn't blow in, why did it get in my eyes?" Where's the sand?"

Seeing that he was still in a poor mood, Yu Wanzhi smiled and took out his mobile phone from the bedroom and handed it to him: "It's Chinese New Year, call home."

Lu An didn't answer, "Thank you, I don't have a landline at home, and I have to go to another house to answer the phone, which is inconvenient for the Chinese New Year."

Yu Wanzhi asked: "You don't fight Meng Qingchi either?"

Lu An shook his head, "Then it's even more impossible to fight."

Yu Wanzhi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, looked at him with meaningful eyes, and teased: "I hope Meng Qingchi can see you clearly as soon as possible, you are not a good match."

Looking at each other, Lu An retorted: "Comrade Yu Wanzhi, please be a good person and don't play tricks on yourself. If you look crooked, I'll call you right away."

Yu Wanzhi glanced at him with a faint smile, and without arguing with him, took out a small box of tea and put it on the table, saying:

"You treat me to a lively New Year, and I treat you to drink good tea."

Leaning forward slightly, Lu An stared at the tea leaves for a while, but he didn't see anything, and couldn't help but ask:
"What breed is this?"

Yu Wanzhi said: "Have you heard of the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao?"

Lu An was surprised: "Is this Dahongpao?"

"Ah."

Yu Wanzhi nodded lightly, "I don't have much, I usually only drink a little when I'm hungry."

Lu An stretched out his hand to grab a small handful of tea leaves and smelled them, urging her to brew two cups and taste them.

Yu Wanzhi nodded, and made a cup of hot water for him.

It was too hot, Lu An couldn't wait to blow the air with his mouth, then took a sip, and finally let out a sigh: "Is there a strong orchid fragrance?"

Yu Wanzhi said: "Yes, the most outstanding quality of Dahongpao is its rich orchid fragrance."

Dahongpao is very resistant to brewing, after brewing three or four cups in a row, the tea is still very fragrant.

There are too many people in the vicinity of Guifei Lane, the population is too dense, and the crackling of firecrackers is endless, making it difficult for the two of them to talk, and it is very loud to be heard.

They chatted at the top of their voices for a while, and then the two of them looked at each other silently and smiled, and stopped talking at all, drank tea slowly, flipped through books casually, and finally fell asleep when the time came.

Yu Guanzhi stroked his earmark hair with his right hand, and asked him softly, "When will you wake up tomorrow morning?"

Lu Ann said: "You can sleep more, wake up at 6 o'clock, eat when you wake up, and it will be dawn after eating."

Yu Wanzhi said yes quietly and entered the bedroom.

There are firecrackers in the early morning. Many people of the older generation believe that New Year’s Eve is the time when gods from all walks of life go down to enjoy the fireworks in the world. If anyone can grab the first prize on the first day of the new year, then there will be everything in the next year. .

If you don't get the lottery, you should open the door to welcome the gods as soon as possible, and invite them home before the gods from all walks of life are full, otherwise people will go back to the sky when they are full, and they won't get anything.

After four o'clock in the morning, Lu An opened his eyes in a daze, and looked sideways at the window, hey, good guy, the concubine alley is already brightly lit, and his mother's co-authors are already up.

Get out of bed after getting dressed, and when he walked into the kitchen, he found that Yu Wanzhi was also up.The coal stove was booming, and above it was a pot of boiling water. She sat by the coal fire and read a book.

Hearing the movement, Yu Wanzhi greeted with a smile: "Lu An, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Lu Ann echoed the salute, and then asked, "Why did you get up?"

Yu Wanzhi explained: "It's too noisy outside, I can't sleep."

In fact, he didn't sleep well, and was woken up countless times in the middle, but most of them were like this, and there was nothing to talk about.

Lu An said: "After the New Year's Eve dinner, the sound of firecrackers will almost stop at dawn, so let's catch up on sleep together."

Yu Wanzhi glanced at him, but didn't answer.

After finishing speaking, Lu An realized that he had said something wrong, so he joked along:
"Don't think too much, I didn't mean that, I belong to Sister Qingchi in this life."

Yu Wanzhi smiled and remained silent.

The dishes were all prepared yesterday afternoon, and it only needs to be heated or fried this morning.

Due to ancestor worship and Bodhisattva dinner, the dishes for the Chinese New Year cannot be reused. The dishes eaten last night cannot be served this morning. It is said that these dishes have been eaten and are now empty.

Seeing that she loved Maoxuewang last night, Lu An asked, "Are you still eating Maoxuewang this morning?"

Yu Wanzhi answered irrelevantly, and raised his head slightly: "How many days do you plan to stay here?"

Lu Ann looked up at the sky, "The snow has stopped, I guess it will take two days, it will take two days to get a car home."

Hearing this, Yu Wanzhi asked: "So is it the third year of junior high school?"

Lu An nodded: "Almost, there are still things at home. If you have a car in the third year of junior high school, you have to go."

Yu Wanzhi said: "Then I'm leaving in the third day of junior high school. I still have two days left. I won't eat Maoxuewang this morning. I want to eat your twice-cooked pork. Last time Meng Qingchi made very good twice-cooked pork. I still remember the taste. .”

"Twice-cooked pork, right? It's easy, easy." Lu An first washed his face with hot water, rinsed his mouth, and then got busy.

At this time, Yu Wanzhi completely lost his unearthly appearance, put down his book, and did his best to help him.

Lu Ann asked, "Are you always so diligent at home?"

Yu Wanzhi said: "Occasionally, most of the time I eat ready-made."

Lu Ann looked back at her, "These two days are worthy of praise."

Yu Wanzhi smiled knowingly: "The main reason is that celebrating the New Year with you is very interesting, and the novelty is still there."

"Ah? Is that so? Is it because the novelty is gone, and you have returned to the original nature of a young lady? What do you mean you don't stretch your limbs, your body doesn't work hard, you open your mouth when you eat, and you don't open your mouth when you don't come."

Yu Wanzhi smirked, and peeled a bowl of garlic for him.
