Chapter 10 New Years

The New Year is the same everywhere, with hurried steps, big and small bags of New Year's goods, some people have blank expressions, and some are full of joy.Some people work hard for a year just to make enough for their family, while others make a lot of money by idleness. 360 lines of work, 360 lines of sorrow, with so many people in the world, it is always difficult to have a satisfactory balance.

I think of the Chinese New Year when I was a child, with new clothes, lucky money, firecrackers, and raisins.I don’t know when, I no longer look forward to the New Year, nor to the holidays, because I know that no one will celebrate with me. Fortunately, I have grandparents, second aunts and aunts. Sometimes I suffer, but I always care My mother, I always have a set of self-satisfaction methods for my unsatisfied life. When I was 12 years old, I would persuade myself, look, how happy I am, I have hands and feet, I have sound limbs and a smart mind, and I live in In the age of peace, I can breathe freely, I can hear birds, and I can sing songs. I am already a very happy person in the world. With this self-encouraging words, I have been happy for a long time

I think of the flowers I planted when I was young, hanging baskets, iron trees, jasmine, epiphyllum, roses, mimosa, all of which I treasure, and I can’t keep any of them by my side, tossing and turning, living there for a few years, Living here for several years, I almost forgot that I used to grow flowers

There are children setting off firecrackers intermittently in the community, sporadic, one after another.

I remember that when I was a child, I was very fond of blasting cannons. I always bought a plate for two yuan, carefully dismantled them one by one, and kept them slowly.At that time, I was too timid to ignite the ignition wire directly. They were all connected by a piece of paper. The paper was lit first, and when the paper burned to the end, the ignition wire could be ignited, and after a bang, the firecrackers exploded.This method was invented by myself, and I had a lot of fun until one day I accidentally operated it and lit the cannon and the paper together, and the firecracker exploded immediately in my hand. At that time, the back of the hand It was swollen like a steamed bun, and it took more than a week to disappear.Thinking of this, I shook my head and smiled again

My Erbao and I decided to go back to his house for New Year’s Eve dinner, and he told me it’s fine, just go home for dinner, I don’t know what he said to his family, but his family is very warm, his mother scolded him happily when she saw him , but did not forget to turn around frequently to see the chicken soup simmering in the aisle on the stove.Thanks to him, I also drank the most famous old hen soup in the local area. It was stewed with mineral water without adding anything. It looked like a refreshing bowl, but it was so fresh that my tongue fell out. This is the drink I drank in my life. The best chicken soup, no one

I put down the cigarettes and alcohol I brought, and the snacks I bought for his son. His son didn’t look very much like him. He was timid and didn’t fit Sanbao’s style at all. I knew that Sanbao was divorced and had a son. , Only when I saw it today did I know that everything is true, true and true, there are no balloons, no joy of embracing and sleeping, only his mother's thoughts, and his father's silence, and later his sister Also here, his older sister is white, fat, with eyes, and her brother-in-law is nice and enthusiastic. While telling his son not to play with his mobile phone, he asked me if I was cold. When his mother heard it, she hurried to turn on the air conditioner. Home is not commonly used.The brother-in-law tried to help, but was kicked out by his mother.I sat in the living room and didn’t know what to do. My brother-in-law suggested playing cards. I’m not very interested in gambling. The only thing I know is Doudi Zhu. We take turns playing, and whoever loses will play. When it’s my turn and his sister and brother-in-law, Sanbao is next to me. Commander, the brother-in-law kept saying that he was unhappy with this.I pursed my lips and smiled happily.

The food in the evening is very rich. The food is fried by his father. It tastes very good. It is definitely better than ordinary food stalls. Even the cold cucumbers are neatly cut.In the middle is a beef hot pot. I heard that this dish is his father's specialty, and it is passed on from male to female.After speaking, everyone laughed again.

His family is very drinkable.Drink it endlessly.The vegetables in the beef pot were gone. His mother turned around and took out a pot of spinach, saying that it was grown at the door. It had just emerged and was very tender. The three treasures were hot and asked me to eat them quickly. I took a bite and it really melted in my mouth. It is so tender that there is no scum left. I have never eaten such tender spinach again. I tasted it at Sanbao’s for the first time. I will never forget it.

I also drank a lot of wine that night, and my reason told me not to get drunk. When I was almost drunk, I put down the glass, but my brother-in-law was still persuading me, saying that your sister is killing people today, so you can let go of the drink. , I said that I really can't drink anymore, and I will get drunk if I drink any more.Seeing that I really didn't want to drink anymore, Sanbao put the wine glass at the end, and let me drink Tian Tian's wine, which caused another burst of laughter.

We stayed at home at night, because it is hard to call a car in the suburbs.

We went back to the room, it was very cold, and there was no air conditioner, at least there were electric blankets for two people.I was going to turn it on all the way, but Sambo said he wasn’t cold and his body was very hot, so I just need to turn on one. I knew he was saving electricity for the family, so I didn’t force him, so he just turned on the electric blanket here. gone to sleep

The next day we woke up very late, his father made us breakfast, he still didn’t talk much, we chatted with Sanbao about the daily life, Sambo was playing with his mobile phone and teasing the child in the morning, his child also didn’t speak much, as if he was very scared his dad

Sanbao went out to visit the neighbor’s house and left me and the child at home. As a result, the child started talking to himself, talking about shit, urine, and everything. I looked at his fair face and quiet demeanor. I couldn’t believe it. what a six year old said

Nothing to do in the afternoon, Sambo wants to take me to the fish pond, saying that it is the place where his father fished, and it is also the place where they played when they were young

Walking on the road, I saw an uncle riding a bicycle and greeted us happily. Sambo asked him, uncle, why are you so happy to go.He replied, go be happy

Both Sanbao and I understood, and laughed helplessly, and Sanbao cursed, grass

I came to the fish pond that he highly recommended. It was a hillside with many trees. The air in the afternoon was cold and thin. I breathed in the air and white smoke came out.

There are a few dead leaves scattered on the tree, and occasionally a bird flies by

The sky is foggy, but fortunately there is a little sunshine, thin and sparse.Occasionally, the cold wind blows and blows from all directions. I shrink my neck and walk on the path of dead grass and broken branches, making a sound every step.

The fish pond is very large, quiet, without any sound, like the ripples blown by the wind, like a slow note, pressing the mute button

There are a few reflections of sunlight in the middle, shining brightly, occasionally flashing my eyes

I looked at this intoxicating and beautiful scenery, and I felt infinite beauty in my heart. I felt beautiful, quiet, cold, and happy.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there is always a person who spoils the scenery. Sanbao happily circled around me, and suddenly approached me and said, let's kiss while there is no one here.

All the romantic feelings, poetic and picturesque, were dispelled by this kiss, and all the romantic feelings in my belly were left with an exasperated and helpless smile.

I was amused by him and laughed for a long time. I thought he was so humorous, and I really had to have him.

I didn't go home this Chinese New Year, and I didn't feel anything at the time

We came back from the fish pond in the afternoon and went back to our home. I feel that Sanbao is very happy. Now that I think about it, I should have paid for all the expenses during the Chinese New Year. At that time, I didn’t care who spent the money. I also knew that he Penniless.

Sanbao felt very at ease these days and didn't go out even once. The landlord came to check the house as usual, and was surprised to see a man lying on my bed, but didn't say anything.I only told a few homework, and left in a hurry

Wu Le came back from home soon, and brought a lot of delicious food, even a big pot of salted fish and roast meat made by his mother. We are tired of eating big fish and meat, so we cook them at home these days White water noodles with salted fish

The happy trio repeats their happy days. Occasionally, Muzi joins in to make this small home full of warmth. We play cards together, play mobile games together, watch variety shows together, and sometimes go shopping together and drink together. , Wu Le and I will always be the ones waiting to eat, Sanbao and Muzi are the chefs, and for thousands of years in China, the cook has always had the right to speak in the family. Sanbao and Muzi have the final say at all times, we are both spoiled by them, it would be great if life could go on like this forever, but unfortunately life is not a fairy tale, Xiaojia is not Yongle Palace.The rent that should be paid can’t be less than one penny, and the utility bills are still in order. I worry about money again. Thinking about the balance in the card, I decided to talk to Sambo and let him go out to find a job.
