Blessed To Have Each Other In This Life

The house is tidy and clean, and they don't need to be busy with cleaning. The two of them walked around in and out, and then went shopping in the town market.

I bought Spring Festival couplets and window grilles, as well as many fireworks and firecrackers, all for the New Year

Murong Cheng saw a kerosene lamp at the market, and found it fresh, so he bought two, and he saw the handmade cloth shoes, and found it interesting. Compared to his own size, he also bought a few pairs.

He squatted in front of the stall carefully selected the appearance, meticulous, rare and cute, like a big boy.

Mu Zi looked at him, feeling very good at the moment.

They bought a lot of things to go home, put on window grilles together, and pasted spring couplets after the window grilles.

The couplets couldn’t be pasted, and the scotch tape was not sticky on the rough concrete wall. It happened that the neighbor next door was also pasting it. Mu Zi asked the neighbor’s aunt for some paste. Aunt knew that their young couple had just moved here and they were very hospitable. I gave them peanuts and chestnuts to eat.

For two people with limited cooking skills, hot pot is the safest dinner.

After eating, Mu Zi and Murong Cheng lazily squeezed into the bed, leaning against each other, peeling peanuts and chestnuts to eat.

The old house had no heating or air conditioning. The house was burning with a charcoal stove, and the leftover peanut shells and chestnut shells were thrown in, and they burned cracklingly and crisply with the smell of fruit shells.

Looking at the flickering light, Mu Zi went back to childhood in a daze.

She told Murong Cheng an interesting story when she was a child. At that time, during the Chinese New Year, she liked to bake everything, sweet potatoes, taro, beans, oranges, bananas...

Unconsciously fell asleep.

I don't know if she said too much to eat, she was greedy, she really dreamed that there were two roasted corn lying on the stove, steaming fragrantly.

She reached for it.

Grandma stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "Slutty cat, beware of burning!"

She looked up at the grandmother, still looking like she remembered, wearing a grey padded jacket, wearing a floral cotton sleeve cage, and her hair neatly combed. She was a decent and capable old woman.

Grandma grabbed her and looked up and down. Seeing some wet marks on her shoes, she immediately raised her face and said, "Going to the riverside again? How many times have you said, Zizi, you have to be obedient! Stay away from the water!"

She remembered that there used to be a blind fortune-teller in the town, who said that there was a disaster in her life, and she suffered from suffering and lost her life.

Grandma is very superstitious, and since then she is not allowed to go to the river, water parks and swimming pools, etc., have always avoided.

Grandma talked a lot, but she looked like a naive child, staring at the corn on the stove, and couldn't hear a word.

When grandmother finally left, she couldn't wait to pick up the corn on the stove, open her mouth and gnaw.

Just picked it up from the stove, it should be very hot, but she didn't feel it hot in the dream, she chewed with relish.

While nibbling, I suddenly felt that someone was pulling her by her side. He looked down, but saw that there was a child around him, who was only about two years old, and he was looking at her.

"Do you want to eat too?" she asked.

The child does not speak.

She grabbed a few corn kernels with her hands and fed them into the child's mouth.

The child tried to chew hard.

She couldn't help worrying, "Do you have teeth? Can you eat corn?"

The child is engrossed, still chewing hard.

She was anxious: "You speak! Do you have any teeth?"

At this time, the child grinned and shouted: "Mom!"

In the dream, she was taken aback, suddenly sat up from the bed and was awakened!

Murong Cheng also woke up immediately, stroked her back, feeling a little sweaty, and couldn't help asking, "Have you had a nightmare?"

"No, no..." Mu Zi panted, gradually waking up, "It's not a nightmare...that's, it's just a surprise..."
