On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the old man gave the servants a holiday, leaving only Steward Li and Uncle Li.

The Li family has their own house outside, but it has been a tradition for decades to stay at Yao's house no matter it is Chinese New Year or holidays.

After breakfast, everyone started to post blessing characters and window grilles.

The old man was sitting on the sofa with steaming tea in front of him. While chatting with Butler Li, he directed Yao Lie and Lu Minzhi to work back and forth.

Uncle Li put paste on all the blessing characters, window grilles, and New Year pictures, and then handed them to Yao Lie and Lu Minzhi: "This one is for the kitchen, this one is for the door, and this one is for the car."

Yao Lie pinched the paste-stained blessing with his index finger and thumb, grinned in disgust and said, "I don't want to put this on my car, it's sticky."

"It doesn't matter, just wash it in the future. Paste the word "Fu" to have a new year flavor."

Lu Minzhi said without raising his head, and then took a pair of New Year pictures into the kitchen.

Yao Lie pouted, but went to the garage and pasted the blessing on the car.

It's true that he cares about his car, but it's not worth it to disturb everyone's interest because of the car.

When Yao Lie returned to the room, he saw Lu Minzhi holding a New Year picture and laughing non-stop.

Asked: "What's wrong?"

Lu Minzhi waved the New Year picture in front of his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Where is this posted?"

——The six animals are thriving.

Yao Lie was also speechless, who bought this?

There is not even a pet dog at home, how can there be any six animals!

Lu Minzhi smiled and said, "Why don't you paste it on your door!"

Yao Lie shrugged, and said lightly, "My room is your room now, and you have the autonomy."

Said and made a gesture of please.

Lu Minzhi: "...Forget it then."

Lu Minzhi had no choice but to smear this thing with paste, it would be unlucky to throw it away.

In the end, Uncle Li suggested a trick: "There used to be a big yellow dog at home. Although it has been gone for many years, the kennel is still there, so why not post it there."

Yao Lie said to Lu Minzhi: "I know this, I will take you there."

The kennel is far away from the main house, Yao Lie led Lu Minzhi while walking and said: "The big yellow dog at home is still raised by my aunt.

My aunt is a very generous person. Everyone else keeps pet dogs, but she, a girl, likes to keep country dogs.

Later, my aunt passed away, and so did the big yellow dog. The kennel was still there, and grandpa would come to see it from time to time. "

Since entering this door, Lu Minzhi discovered that the old man is actually not as scary as he imagined.

The old man is a very affectionate person, at least he attaches great importance to family affection.

His eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law passed away, but he still kept their room.

The daughter passed away, but a kennel remained.

He has always missed his children from the traces left in his life.

There is nothing more tragic than a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man, and the old man sent away three juniors one after another, which is even more heartbreaking.

However, his power and status often make people ignore that he is also an old man in his 80s, who will have normal emotions, and also have normal birth, old age, sickness and death.

"Is this your kennel?"

Lu Minzhi looked at a very elegant wooden house without words. Is this really a place where a dog lives?

The wooden house does not look very luxurious, but the workmanship is very exquisite, and the space is also very large, almost twenty square meters.

In front of the wooden house is a small vegetable garden surrounded by low fences. Although there are no vegetables this season, it can be seen that the vegetable garden has been in use.

There is a swing in the open space between the wooden house and the vegetable garden, and some withered flower vines are entangled on the swing frame and the rope.

Lu Minzhi imagined a girl sitting on a swing, the green flower vines were full of cute little flowers, the girl was smiling cheerfully, her laughter was melodious, and a big yellow dog was barking cheerfully.

How wonderful!

...It's a pity that the wooden house is not a girl's place, but a dog's!

The scene of Lu Minzhi's fantasy was shattered, and he didn't know what to say.

It's just a kennel, do you want it to be so idyllic, or so poetic?

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away!

Lu Minzhi really wanted to be frustrated and bent forward, thinking that his living conditions back then might not be as good as that dog!

Yao Lie seemed to have noticed Lu Minzhi's emotions, and laughed: "Do you think it's exaggerated? That dog was my aunt's heart, and this wooden house was designed by her and supervised the construction."

Lu Minzhi said, "She must like small animals very much."

Yao Lie said with a smile: "Yes, I heard from Uncle Li that before raising this dog, my aunt raised a little rabbit, but it died within a few days.

Later, I raised a small hamster, but the hamster ran out of the cage and disappeared. When the servant cleaned the house, he found its dead body under the bed.

My aunt later kept many small pets, but what she kept died, she was dubbed a "pet killer" by the family.Then, in a fit of rage, she went to a relative's house in the countryside to bring rhubarb back, and kept it for more than ten years. "

Aunt Yao was very satisfied with Rhubarb's tenacious vitality, so she built this wooden house for him as soon as she was happy.

Pet Killer!

Lu Minzhi silently lighted the wax in his heart for the little animals who were dying.

Listening to what Yao Lie said, Lu Minzhi felt that Aunt Yao must be a very playful and lovely girl.

Such a child is the most likable, and it is no wonder that the old man never forgets his daughter.

Yao Lie pushed open the door of the wooden house, do you want to go in and have a look?

Lu Minzhi did a lot of psychological training, and finally stepped into...the kennel.

The wooden house is very clean, it should be cleaned frequently.

There are many photos hanging on the walls of the wooden house, most of which are of a girl and a big yellow dog.

The girl is very beautiful and has a sweet smile.

This should be Aunt Yao and her big yellow dog.

Yao Lie pointed to a double wooden bed covered with a thick quilt and said, "This is Da Huang's bed."

Lu Minzhi: "..."

The house is also too human.

A dog not only sleeps on the bed, but also covers it with a quilt.

Lu Minzhi turned his head and saw a row of radiators on the wall...

Lu Minzhi thought numbly, if he was reborn as Yao's dog in his next life, it would be pretty cool!

……

After pasting the blessing characters, it is required to offer the heaven and earth table.

It was the first time that Lu Minzhi heard that there was such a thing as a Zhitiandi table, neither when he was at home before nor in "Memories of the Orphanage", it seemed that it had never appeared before.

As a Chinese, Lu Min felt ashamed that he didn't understand the traditional customs of his country.

The altar was placed in the yard, and after setting up the three-star portrait of Fu Lu Shou, hanging money, and joss sticks, the old man personally lit the joss sticks to welcome the gods.

After that, the meal at noon on New Year's Eve is also very important.

The meals must be hearty, and the staple food is rice.

Uncle Li is in charge of lunch, with Lu Minzhi and Yao Lie helping each other.

In the past, I didn't feel much when I heard Yao Lie say that Uncle Li was able to decathlon, but seeing him cook a large table of dishes neatly, Lu Minzhi admired him all over.

Uncle Li's wife died young, and the old father and son depended on him to take care of him alone.

Li Chaoyang had a bad mouth when he was a child. In order to satisfy his son's appetite, Uncle Li signed up for a class to learn how to cook.

Lu Minzhi sighed as if choosing a celery leaf: "Uncle Li's movements of shaking the spoon look so beautiful."

Yao Lie laughed.

After Lu Minzhi and Yao Lie put the food on the table, the phone in the living room rang suddenly.

Yao Lie answered the phone and said, "Uncle is back, I'll open the door."

There is a very cheating place in Yao's old house.

There is no doorbell.

Usually, there are people on duty in the duty room next to the gate, but when it comes to Chinese New Year, the servants have all gone home for the New Year, if someone comes, they can only call inside the house.

If there is no phone, there is no way.

The gate is far away from the main house, so no one will hear it even if you die.

Lu Minzhi had seen a photo of Yao Lie's uncle, he was a very handsome man.

I heard that he is a painter.

It's hard to imagine that a romantic artist came out of a gangster family.

In the eyes of the old man, his youngest son is a problem child with crooked growth.

Yao Lie had a strange expression after entering the door: "Grandpa, uncle is back."

The smile on the old man's face had long since disappeared, and he replied in a neutral manner.

Yao Lie was followed by a man and a woman.

The man is naturally his uncle Yao Qingjue, he is even more handsome than Lu Minzhi in the photo, exuding a romantic atmosphere all over his body.

He has long black and shiny hair.

——This is in line with Lu Minzhi's general impression of artists.

And the female...

Lu Minzhi was a little surprised, it was a tall foreign woman with blue eyes and white skin, and this foreign woman had a big belly.

"Oh, Dad, how are you? I miss you very much." Yao Qingjue greeted the old man and gave him a hug.

The old man looked forbearing, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him aside.

Then Lu Minzhi heard the old man swear for the first time: "You and I are pretending to be foreigners!"

Yao Qingjue shrugged helplessly: "Oh, God! Dad, you are still so vulgar. It seems that your body is very healthy!"

Lao Tzu, a mafia boss, and a romantic son who is full of European and American styles.

What a weird pair of father and son.

Yao Qingjue then hugged Steward Li and Uncle Li, and was used to seeing their reactions, so he greeted the young master very calmly.

When he saw Lu Minzhi, Yang Qingjue exaggeratedly said: "Oh my god, are you the other half of Ah Lie? You are such a handsome young man. It's a pleasure to meet you, baby!"

Lu Minzhi shuddered at his "little baby" and said politely, "Hi, Uncle Yao, my name is Lu Minzhi."

"I know, dear, Ariel can't wait to tell me about you."

When Lu Minzhi looked at this uncle, he felt unreal as if he was watching an American drama.

Uncle Yao said "little baby" on the left, and "dear" on the other. As a reserved Chinese, Lu Minzhi is very big.

"This is Anna, my current girlfriend. She has always yearned for China and begged me to bring her back with her."

When the foreign woman was introduced, the old man's expression was as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

The old man raised the dragon head stick in his hand and was about to beat him up: "You son of a bitch, you don't learn well, and you mess around outside, making other girls' stomachs bigger!"

Yao Lie hurried over to support the old man: "Grandpa, don't be angry."

Yao Lie was very calm, he was used to it anyway.

Although my uncle doesn't come home very often, his presence will never be missing at home.

The Yao family has been immune to things like women with a big belly coming to their door for many years.

Of course, there are also those who directly lead their children to the door.

Anyway, most of the blood of the Yao family came from this uncle.

In other words, Young Uncle Yao is a good person. He has loved Yao Lie, his only nephew, since he was a child. Although he is not very good at dealing with his father, he is still filial. The only thing is that his emotional integrity is not very good.

This person pursues romantic love and romantic marriage, but before he pursues an "ideal relationship", he does not hinder him from "testing the waters" with women at all.

For him, every woman he associates with is his first girlfriend.

He is still not married at the age of 43 because he has not found the "right person", which makes the old man a headache.

Yao Qing wisely stayed away from the old man, and then explained innocently: "No, Dad, you really wronged me this time. The child in Anna's belly is not mine. She was pregnant before we met."

In a word, the old man was so angry that he fell on his back, and the others were also speechless.

Only the foreign girl Anna looked confused.

She can't understand Chinese!

……

It's a hell of a meal for lunch.

Yao Qingjue was very considerate and thoughtful, pouring vegetables and water for foreign pregnant girlfriends, talking about love in a bird language that the old man couldn't understand, with an intimate demeanor.

The old man couldn't respond.

Fortunately, Yao Lie had a sweet mouth and coaxed the old man, changing the subject from time to time.

Lu Minzhi also helped to make a point.

Although the younger son's actions did not please the old man, he was his own after all, and the bond of blood and family affection would never stop, so the old man still had to worry about him.

The old man said with a straight face: "You are not young anymore, when are you going to settle down?"

A prodigal like Yao Qingjue is most annoyed by this kind of topic, and said awkwardly: "I'm fine now."

It's not that the old man doesn't know that his younger son is annoying, but the old man is already in his 80s, and he's afraid that he won't know what his daughter-in-law looks like one day.

Besides, Yao Qingjue is already over 40 years old, and he has not yet made a decision, and he can't blame his family for nagging.

The old man looked at his younger son with a stern face, and then at the girlfriend brought back by the younger son: "Since you brought it home, when are you going to get married?"

The old man couldn't care less about that woman being pregnant with an unknown person's child. As long as his son can get married, he can do whatever he wants.

In the end, Yao Qingjue said another sentence that stunned everyone: "I have no plans to marry Anna. Anna is not married."

Everyone can't help but laugh.

The old man was so choked that he almost choked, wishing he could smear tomato and egg soup all over his face.Having such an absurd son is really killing me.
