A good little husband

Since the beginning of winter, the days have become shorter, and when Lin Muqing finished sharpening his knife, the sky was already dark.

When I got home, I saw Lin Ping coming, followed by Lin An who I met last time.

He still seemed a little unaccustomed to seeing Suiyu, and looked away after just one glance.

"I'm here to deliver two pieces of clothes to Lin Hua." Lin Ping handed the burden to Lin Hua, and then took the oiled paper bag from Lin An's hand, "This is a snack that Lin An brought from the county town, my sister-in-law is with him Let's eat."

This is something that happens every year, Lin Muqing and Chunniang are not surprised, Lin Hua smiled: "Thank you brother Lin Ping."

"Let's go first, there are many things at home." Lin Ping put his arm around Lin An's shoulder, and Lin An avoided him.

"Brother, you go back first, I have something to tell Brother Qing." Lin An pulled Lin Muqing aside, took a quick look at Suiyu, and then looked away.

"what's up?"

Lin An paused for a moment before saying, "That Lin Muyin came to me before I came back, and told me to bring Aunt Chun an annual present. I remember your words and didn't want it."

Lin Muqing patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy!"

"She asked me a lot about my sister-in-law." Lin An said, "but I didn't say anything."

Lin Muqing frowned: "What did she ask?"

"I just asked where my sister-in-law is from, how I met you, and asked other insinuating things, but I said I don't know." Lin An scratched her head, a little worried, "She won't know that I helped my sister-in-law apply for household registration. Let's do it."

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

"It's mainly her husband's family, which has something to do with Mr. Zhao." Lin An thought for a while and then felt relieved, "It's okay, if I lose this job, I will go out with my brother for a dart walk, and I can see many different scenery."

"There will be nothing wrong with you."

Lin Muqing knew that Lin Amo valued Lin An's job in the county government very much, so he reassured Lin An: "Don't worry."

"What's the matter?" Suiyu walked in front of him, looked at the back of Lin An leaving, "Is there something wrong with my household registration?"

Lin Muqing rubbed his hair: "No, don't worry, just ask me about Lin Wanxia."

Suiyu let out a sigh, not very interested, but he was very interested in the fireworks and firecrackers that Lin Ping brought. In the past, in the capital, for the defense of the capital, there were only fireworks in the suburbs of the capital. No, he had heard it mentioned in the book before that ordinary people would prepare fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, praying for a prosperous year ahead.

"Are these things playable? It will be like the book says, the sky is as bright as day, and the scattered fireworks are like falling stars from the sky, twinkling and twinkling until they disappear." Suiyu stretched out his hand and touched it. The cold fireworks, a little excited.

"It just exploded with a bang, and then turned on, and then it was gone." Lin Muqing described it without aesthetic feeling, Suiyu rolled his eyes at him, "I want to play with Lin Hua."

"You have to be watched by an adult when you play this game, otherwise, what should I do if it explodes and hurts someone?" Lin Muqing picked up Suiyu's collar, "Let's cook first."

"Bah, Lin Muqing." Suiyu struggled for a while and found that she couldn't break away from Lin Muqing's hand, "Who is not an adult anymore?"

"You, you are still a child."

Dumplings were arranged for dinner, although Lin Muqing didn't know how to make dumplings, but his noodles were very good, and Suiyu had never made dumplings before.

But the theory is the same: "I remember this, it is said that the noodles should be stretched long, then cut into small pieces, and then rolled into round dumpling wrappers with a rolling pin, and then wrapped with stuffing. Just do it."

He said it very lightly, but when he made it, the dosage was either too big or too small, or the rolled out dough was bigger than Suiyu's face, or it was pitifully small, and after several scraps in a row, Lin Muqing finally grasped how to divide the doses.

Lin Hua swears that he can make dumplings, and the dumplings are indeed like that, but they collapsed after being left for a while. Looking again, the bottom of the dumplings has a hole.

Chunniang laughed from ear to ear, and she joked, "Ah Qing, you know how to make steamed buns, why can't you make dumplings?"

Lin Muqing pinched her nose until her own nose turned white: "I'll learn."

His learning ability is really strong. After watching Lin Hua wrap it once, he groped slowly, and finally made a qualified dumpling. The belly is round, but the top is spread out like an umbrella leaf, cute. And beautiful.

"I just said it won't trouble me." After Lin Muqing made one dumpling, the speed in his hand became obviously faster, and a row of dumplings was wrapped in no time.He thought of something again, took out a copper coin from his purse, washed it in the water, mixed it with meat stuffed buns, and said, "Do you have this custom there, who eats stuffed dumplings?" Dumplings, whose luck will be better."

Suiyu thought for a while: "Well, yes, but I have never eaten it."

"You will definitely be able to eat this year." Lin Muqing touched his face, turning his face white, "All good luck belongs to you."

They didn't make many dumplings, Suiyu thought they might not like this kind of food very much, they made dumplings just to please him, and he was very happy to accept their kindness.

It was only when he saw the steaming dumplings that Suiyu really had a feeling of Chinese New Year. He set off from the capital in April last year when the fragrance was exhausted, and came here when the moon was full in the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th. It has been more than half a year, and it is the first time that I have such a calm and peaceful state of mind.

"Lin Muqing, can I drink?"

There is usually no wine on the dinner table in their family, Lin Hua is too young, Chun Niang doesn't drink, Lin Muqing seldom drinks in order to keep a clear head all the time, but today, it is true that he can have a few sips.

There was still an altar of wine bought for sacrifice, Lin Muqing patted off the mud seal on it, poured a small cup and put it in front of Suiyu, Chunniang also motioned to Lin Muqing for a cup, Lin Hua also wanted to, but Suiyu Did not let.

Suiyu took a sip, and suddenly remembered the saying in the capital that dumplings are like wine, the more you drink, the better.

Lin Muqing was good at mixing stuffing, and the taste of the dumplings was also very good. After drinking that glass of wine, Suiyu blushed. In the end, nothing happened. Suiyu ate the dumpling wrapped in copper coins. His His teeth were sore, and when he spit it out, the rest of the people in the room applauded him.

"I hope Xiao Yu'er will be happy next year and go smoothly."

"I hope my sister-in-law will be all the best and happy next year."

Suiyu's eyes fell on Lin Muqing again, his face was a little red, his eyes were filled with mist, and he also wanted to hear auspicious words from him.

"Then I wish you the best of luck."

Suiyu's heart missed half a beat, and he raised his eyes to meet Lin Muqing's gaze, could it really be what he thought?

At this moment, both Chunniang and Lin Hua were here, so he didn't have anything to ask, he could only wait for a while when the two of them got along, and then asked what Lin Muqing meant.

Chunniang is getting old, and tonight she is making dumplings, cooking dumplings, chatting, and drinking a little wine. It has already passed her usual sleeping time. Although there is a custom of keeping the year old, it is just handed over to Lin Muqing.

"Go and play, I'm a bit tired today, so I won't play with you." She thought for a while, "Ah Qing, remember to take Xiao Yu'er to soak her feet at night, don't forget."

"I see."

Chunniang went back to her room, and the rest of the time was for the few of them. Lin Hua was already eagerly waiting to set off the fireworks, and soon finished cleaning up the kitchen. A dim oil lamp.

"This is an ever-burning lantern. We must keep one like this on New Year's Eve to signify a bright future in the future."

Finally, when it was time to play, Lin Ping brought back many kinds of fireworks, some of which were just loud bangs after being lit, and rich and noble flowers that ignited and ignited into beautiful fireworks.

Suiyu was a little timid, she didn't dare to play with the loud firecrackers, she could only play with the rich and noble flowers that made no sound but produced beautiful fireworks.

Starting from Lin Hua's place, after a while, the whole village was filled with crackling sounds. It seemed that not only Lin Hua, but also many children played with firecrackers. There were so many noises that Suiyu could only cover his ears.

Lin Muqing lit another firework that could be held in his hand and handed it to Suiyu's hand, watching his face behind the firework, it was so illusory that it was unreal, and after the last ray of light disappeared, he dropped one of his hands. On the side of Suiyu's face, the other hand pressed Lin Hua's head to make him lean to the other side, and then kissed Suiyu's lips.

This is the first time Lin Muqing followed Yu to get close after the three chapters of their agreement.

Because of Lin Hua's presence, he kissed without revealing anything. He just put a sticker on Suiyu's lips, smelled the scent of wine on his body, and felt that all the wine he drank was not as intoxicating as the smell of wine on Suiyu's body. In the end, It was because she kept restraining herself that she lightly bit his lips before letting him go.

It was almost time to play, and it was getting late, Lin Muqing drove Lin Hua to sleep, and ordered him to fetch hot water to soak his feet. The fire in the stove never stopped, and there was enough hot water.

Lin Muqing also fetched water for Suiyu to soak her feet. Suiyu usually has the habit of soaking her feet, but today Chunniang specifically mentioned something, and he was a little curious.

"In our place, soaking your feet on New Year's Eve can make your feet grow bare, and you can run fast for food, escape, and life in the future."

"Oh" Suiyu responded, and soaked her feet in peace.

After running, Lin Muqing took the broom again and cleaned the room again. Suiyu nestled under the quilt and looked at his busy figure: "Why sweep the floor?"

"I can't sweep the floor tomorrow, but I have to sweep out all the dust in the house tonight, and there will be no bugs in the house in the coming year."

After Lin Muqing finished scanning, he sat by the bed again and took out a red envelope from his arms: "New Year's money."

Suiyu took it over, the red seal was a bit heavy, he looked at Lin Muqing: "I'm married, do I still have lucky money?"

"You are here with me, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, I will give you New Year's money." Lin Muqing took off his shoes and went to bed, sticking to Suiyu's side.

Suiyu pushed him: "Go get something from the closet."

Lin Muqing was skeptical, and got out of bed again. The closet was neatly tidied last time when Yu went away. Lin Muqing and his clothes were clearly separated. His clothes were light-colored made for him by Chun Niang, and Lin Muqing's were The clothes were mostly dark, and from Suiyu's pile of clothes, he found a pair of socks that were not Chunniang's handicraft, not Suiyu's size, but his.

Lin Muqing grabbed two socks and quickly returned to the bed. He held Suiyu's shoulders in both hands and shook them vigorously: "Did you make this? Did you make it for me?"

His tone couldn't hide the excitement and happiness, and his eyebrows that were always flying seemed to fly out of the sky at this moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "When did you do it secretly?"

Suiyu waved his hand away and didn't answer his question. He was a little dizzy, but he still didn't forget the question he wanted to ask at dinner today: "Lin Muqing, you told me at dinner today, I hope I think Is it what I thought it would be?"

Lin Muqing was still looking at the pair over and over again, and raised his head when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

"You asked knowingly." Suiyu kicked Lin Muqing with her foot under the quilt.

Only then did Lin Muqing laugh, and told him the promise he had made before: "When the spring is no longer so cold, I will take you to Zhongzhou with the medicine delivery convoy, and then we will go together Twenty states."

Suiyu immediately sat up straight and repeated over and over again: "You must remember."

"Once a man says something, it's hard to follow." This is what he learned from Captain Zhong, and it's appropriate to use it here.

Suiyu raised her eyes and said, "You still know this sentence."

Lin Muqing reached out to scratch him: "Can you talk?"

Suiyu was out of breath laughing, and finally raised his hands in surrender: "Then I remember your promise, when spring comes next year, you will take me to Nianzhou."

"Yes, I will take you to find your relatives."

Suiyu blinked: "Then this pair of socks will be your New Year's gift."

"Why, if you don't promise you, you won't give it to me?"

Then Lin Muqing asked him again: "Suiyu, are you still going to tell me the truth?"

Suiyu raised her eyes: "What's the truth?"

"Where did you come from, where did you go? Real name, family background?"

Suiyu was silent for a while, and there were occasional firecrackers outside the house, and he took another deep breath: "Yes, but my father is not just a teacher, he is the former prince and Taifu."

Suiyu's story is exactly the same as what Zhong Xiaowei told him, but when he listened to Suiyu's story, his heart was sour: "From the capital to here, did you suffer a lot on the way?"

After Lin Muqing finished asking, he felt that his question was all nonsense, so he gently put the pair of socks that Suiyu made for him aside, and then went to hug him.

"Then what they said, you once discussed marriage with His Majesty, is it true?"

"Fake." Suiyu kicked him, "How is it possible? Do you think the prince's marriage will be publicized like the folks? But what is spread is not the truth."

"Then why were you exiled alone? And all your family members went to Nianzhou?"

"He's sick."

Anyone who hears such words is treasonous, but now this is in Yunbei, which is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital, and the whispers between husband and wife are unknown to anyone.

Suiyu didn't really want to talk about him, so he changed the topic.

Lin Muqing sat up: "Since you've been honest with me today, I'll give you another New Year's gift."

"what?"

"Remember the Yunxi I took you to years ago? Captain Zhong of the Yunxi Frontier Army should be your sister-in-law's friend. I found out your family's address from him, and reported to them that they are safe in Captain Zhong's handwriting." , and sent some things necessary for life, as well as the heart-protecting grass that your brother needs."

Suiyu's eyes were wide open, as if he didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but at the same time he seemed to understand it, and he couldn't believe it: "What did you say? You sent something to my family?"

"When the sender comes back, there should be a letter from your family. You should check to see if it is your family's handwriting. If it is true, we will know where they live. When the time comes to find it, we will get twice the result with half the effort. "

Suiyu leaned over to hug Lin Muqing, Lin Muqing only felt hot tears falling from his neck, only then did he finally confirm that Lin Muqing did not lie to him, and was really planning to take him to find his family.

During the movement, most of the obscene clothes on Suiyu's body were scattered, and the charcoal basin in the room was fully burned, so he didn't feel cold. When he realized it, Lin Muqing's rough hands had already grasped him and exposed him. Half of his shoulders, his palms were full of calluses, and when he scratched Suiyu's shoulders, he felt a strange feeling, his heart suddenly went numb, and he wanted to push his hands away, but he froze in place again.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a bit wrong, like a jar of thick honey was suddenly opened, the sweetness of honey floated all over the room, Suiyu's head was very dizzy, and Lin Muqing in front of him also shook film.

Lin Muqing pressed his hand, his eyes were full of inquiries.

Suiyu's eyes were very wet, like a clear spring. Lin Muqing just glanced at it, but couldn't hold on to the driftwood anymore, and could only sink deeply.

As soon as Zishi arrived, the sound of firecrackers resounded across the valley in the whole village. In the sound of firecrackers, Suiyu's voice was covered up, but Lin Muqing could hear it more clearly.

He panted heavily, and when Suiyu's eyes were white, he solemnly and sincerely kissed him on the side of his neck. Suiyu sent the most vulnerable part of himself to his eyes. He cherished it carefully and kept it in his heart forever. soft place.
