When time travel meets a retired traveler

Eleven o'clock on the night of New Year's Eve.

The industrious son Xu Wenxiu took the initiative to take on the arduous task of cooking dumplings.As the person who cooks the best food in the whole family, Xu Wenxiu must undertake this glorious and arduous task.

Wen Yuyu was able to enjoy a moment of peace, avoiding the sight of Xu's mother and Xu's father, and opened her eyes to watch TV programs together.

The jokes in the TV show were very clichéd, and Wen Yuyu had watched many of them.But with the laughter of Xu's father and Xu's mother behind him, and the intermittent sound of firecrackers in the distance, he felt inexplicably warm, which comforted him for so many years of lonely time travel.

I like this feeling very much.

Maybe it's good to stay here until the task is completed.Wen Yuyu couldn't help thinking salty fish.

Relax.

Wen Yuyu became more and more relaxed.

Unknowingly, Wen Yuyu became more and more integrated into this Spring Festival atmosphere.

Until he accidentally laughed.

The air seemed to freeze suddenly.

Xu's father and Xu's mother stopped laughing abruptly.

Wen Yuyu's back felt cold.He quickly closed his eyes, not daring to turn his head, for fear that Xu's father and Xu's mother would find out that the puppet had turned into a spirit.

The crosstalk broadcast on TV was reaching a transition period, which made the already frozen atmosphere a little more tense.

Father Xu and Mother Xu glanced at each other.

Dad Xu stood up.

Xu's mother tugged on Xu's father's sleeve worriedly, and somewhat didn't want Xu's father to get close to the doll.

Father Xu swallowed, but in the end he held up the air of the head of the family and walked towards the doll.

Hearing the obviously nervous footsteps, Wen Yuyu made up her mind to pretend to be dead no matter how much she pushed him.But there is a bit of sadness in my heart that I was rejected.

"What's the matter?" Xu Wenxiu came out of the kitchen, looked at the weird atmosphere, and asked in confusion.

Xu's father and Xu's mother glanced at each other, Xu's mother smiled and said: "It's nothing. This is a lot of food. The old man stood up to digest the food. I'm afraid he won't be able to eat the dumplings for a while."

"Xiaxiaoshi. It's okay, it's okay." Dad Xu did a few stretching exercises to show that what he said was true.

"Oh. Then be careful, don't dodge your waist." Xu Wenxiu had no doubts about him.As he spoke, he walked to Wen Yuyu's side, and naturally picked up the phone from Wen Yuyu's side.

The mobile phone was originally covered by Wen Yuyu's clothes, which happened to be hidden from sight.

"Stinky boy, why are you talking." Xu's father didn't recognize the old way, when he saw Xu Wenxiu's cell phone, he said a little stiffly: "Your cell phone seems to have rang just now."

"Yeah." Xu Wenxiu gestured at his smart bracelet, which showed a reminder of a text message, and said, "I have something to do at work." Presumably he just came out of the kitchen after receiving a notification from the smart bracelet. Take the mobile phone.

Dad Xu knew that Xu Wenxiu had two mobile phones.One mobile phone is dedicated to work, and the other mobile phone is dedicated to contacting relatives and parents.Then there is no other idea.

Presumably they thought the dolls were too real on weekdays, so they thought too much.Father Xu and Mother Xu were relieved.

Xu Wenxiu turned back to the kitchen and continued cooking dumplings.

The living room returned to its original joy.

However, Wen Yuyu seemed to be stuffed into an ice cave, and felt cold and stiff from the inside out.He knew all this was no coincidence.Xu Wenxiu's cell phone didn't adjust the volume, but it vibrated.

The mobile phone was placed beside him, and he clearly couldn't feel the vibration of the mobile phone just now.

This can only show that Xu Wenxiu didn't receive the message at all, and came out to do this on purpose to help him smooth things over.

He was found.

Wen Yuyu affirmed in despair.

He once wanted to stay away from Xu Wenxiu, but he came back here secretly.Now he wanted to spend the New Year with Xu Wenxiu, but cruelly made him realize that he had been discovered and had to leave immediately.

Wen Yuyu was very sad.

The fragrant dumplings are brought out from the kitchen.

The Xu family ate the dumplings happily.

Wen Yuyu listened to the congratulations of them eating out the coins, and there was nothing but sadness in her heart.It was like an invisible membrane separating him from the Xu family.

After twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to sound one after another.

Xu's father and Xu's mother were too old to put such things away, so they gave Xu Wenxiu red envelopes first.

In particular, Wen Yuyu also received three red envelopes.One letter was from Xu Wenxiu.

As the only son of the Xu family, Xu Wenxiu naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of setting off firecrackers.After accepting the red envelope, he took the firecrackers to the front yard and started setting them off.

There was a crackling sound, and Xu's parents and Xu's mother prayed for a prosperous new year.

The children who have finished setting off firecrackers cross the streets and alleys to join in the fun at the neighbors who are still setting off firecrackers.

Noisy, unique atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Wen Yuyu took advantage of the fact that all three members of Xu's family were going out, so he asked the system to use a trick to leave from the kitchen.

Passing by the kitchen, Wen Yuyu saw a bowl of covered dumplings on the table.The dumplings are still warm, and the green onion and coriander on top are very green, which is very kind.

Wen Yuyu looked at it for a while, sighed, and walked towards the backyard.

If it's not his, why should he eat it?

Walking to the backyard where he came, the earth dog was wagging its tail and eating sweetly.Wen Yuyu looked into the dog bowl, and it turned out to be dumplings.

For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, even dogs have dumplings to eat, but he doesn't.

This time, it really made him angry.

Wen Yuyu didn't care about 21, but went to the kitchen and cleaned up the bowl of dumplings.

The taste of the dumplings is really good.There are strange things in the pork filling, but it is not unpalatable.There are peanuts that represent longevity and wealth, lotus seeds that represent a full house of children and grandchildren, and yuba that represent wealth...

Five dumplings in a bowl.When eating the last one, Wen Yuyu bit into an unbelievably hard object.

a silver coin.

Wen Yuyu took out the saliva-stained silver coin, so unbelievable that he even forgot to chew the dumpling in his mouth.

The coin is not ordinary and is handcrafted from sterling silver.One of Xu Wenxiu's works of art.

It cannot be said to be unique. Xu Wenxiu has prepared seven or eight pieces for the New Year, each of which is of a different style.

But when making dumplings, Xu's mother said that this is her son's idea. Every silver coin sold is worth a sum of money. People brought back by neighbors eat it, but it makes people unhappy.

Therefore, these silver coins were only wrapped in three in the end, and they were for the Xu family to eat.When the family ate dumplings just now, everyone ate one and interpreted the meaning of the patterns on the silver coins.

But now, Wen Yuyu has eaten the fourth one.

Under the bright LED fluorescent lamp, the silver coins stained with soup and saliva reflected a little bit of light, shining like stars in Wen Yuyu's dark heart.

This New Year has red envelopes and dumplings, so happy.

The corner of Wen Yuyu's mouth curled into a smile, but the corners of her eyes could no longer contain the sadness in her heart.

A meteor slipped from the corner of his eyes, landed on the red clothes, and disappeared.
