Tan Man looked at this photo with a smile. Gu Mochen bought a pot of hyacinths grown in water. In a transparent glass bottle, there was a cluster of white stems of the plant, and the lavender flower buds were half-wrapped by green leaves. Xiaobei, who was just about to bloom and was holding the flowers, didn't notice anything unusual at first glance, but when he looked carefully, his small mouth was slightly pursed, and his fair and tender face was covered with a layer of reluctance.

Tan Man couldn't help laughing, and replied:

"The flowers are beautiful, but what happened to the little boy holding the flowers?"

He even chose a frowning expression and sent it along.

In less than two seconds, the other party replied with three words: "I'm jealous."

Tan Man was surprised, and replied, "What do you mean?"

Gu Mochen: "I seem to have another love rival."

Tan Man: "Huh?"

Gu Mochen: "'When I grow up, I want Manman to be my girlfriend', these are Gu Zhoubei's original words."

puff……

Tan Man laughed out loud, she was indeed her brother, she was flattered by her amazing words, she thought for a while, then quickly tapped the screen a few times: "Let me talk to him on the phone tonight."

Gu Mochen leaned on the sofa in the living room, looked at the pot of hyacinths on the bookshelf, and smiled.

It's just that I haven't seen her for a day, but her face has appeared in my mind hundreds of times. This involuntary, uncontrollable, but willing feeling is probably the itching after falling in love.

Time flies, and it’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. After a busy year, I finally stop to have a family reunion on this day. Although the taste of the year is fading, the streets and alleys will still be covered with red. The lanterns and banners are hung, and the couplets are pasted. The atmosphere of the New Year is thick again.

Since New Year's Eve, there have been warm-up activities for the Spring Festival in the community. Early in the morning, the retired old teachers gathered together to play and sing, and Tan Man was woken up early.

After breakfast, Tan Weiguo took out the prepared couplets and lanterns, and urged Tan Man to help post couplets and hang lanterns outside the door, which is a habit every year.After finishing these, there is one more important thing, that is to put the mother's portrait on the table, pour a cup of tea, a glass of wine, put some fruit plate food, and talk to mother on the last day of the year.

"It's been a while, six or seven years, and in a blink of an eye, my daughter has grown up and can earn a living by herself." Tan Weiguo looked at the face in the photo that hadn't changed for many years, and sighed,

"I'm also old and useless. Years ago, I was ill for a while, but don't worry, it's not serious. Now, everything is fine, almost the same."

Since the accident happened, every New Year's Eve I set up a table for my mother, and my father just poured tea and toasted silently, looked at the photos carefully and did not speak, but this year, Tan Man heard Tan Weiguo in front of her for the first time, Talking to my mother, I inexplicably poked my tears and sore my nose.

"Dad, Mom can see it in the sky. I have grown up, graduated, and I can support myself. So, don't worry about me all the time in the future. Think about yourself and take good care of yourself, so that Mom can feel more at ease " Tan Man took her father's left arm and leaned against him like she did when she was a child, but that shoulder didn't seem as strong as when she was a child.

Tan Weiguo patted her hand and nodded: "Yes, my daughter has grown up, maybe, in a year or two, I will be left alone, this old man, at home, it's Chinese New Year."

"What are you talking about, we will live together every year from now on." Tan Man frowned, with a serious expression on her face.

"I'm married, and I'm pulling too. You, old dad, go to your in-law's house? Throw it away, isn't it embarrassing?" Tan Weiguo laughed.

"What's the shame? You are only my daughter, and I am your relative. If you don't live with me, who else can you live with?"

"When my daughter grows up, it's like, the bird is going to leave the nest. Naturally, it is going to fly away."

"No matter how far you fly, you are still my father, and I want to go home." After Tan Man finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, and the thief smiled, "Oh, I see, if you don't live with me, you can still live with Aunt Xu , right, haha."

"Nonsense!" Tan Weiguo didn't speak fluently at first, and when his daughter made fun of him, he couldn't speak for a while, but the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Father, where does Aunt Xu go for Chinese New Year?"

"Her mother's house, she went back two days ago."

"Next year, let her celebrate the New Year with us." Tan Man raised her head and looked at Tan Weiguo sincerely. Everyone could understand the meaning of her words, but Tan Weiguo always avoided this topic when it came up recently.

"Father, Aunt Xu will definitely be willing, just wait for you to talk to her."

He looked at his daughter, and the deep wrinkles in the corners of his eyes flickered: "Take care of your business first, and then we will talk about it."

"..."

Even if it's a reunion dinner for two people, it has to be formal and grand. After the meal, Tan Man cleaned up the dishes, and her father had already watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. Tan Man sat cross-legged next to her, chatting with Qiao Ning while eating sunflower seeds. Wechat, and from time to time, people will reply to the New Year greetings sent by the group.

While replying the message to Qiao Ning, a text message from her mobile phone came in. Except for the advertisements in all directions, there are not many text messages of practical significance these days, so she turned them off casually.

No, it doesn't look like an ad.

After realizing it, she put down the melon seeds in her hand and clicked on the text message interface again. It was a text message from the bank that said:

您尾号****账户于1月26日20时15分转账存入人民币20000.00元,请及时查收。

She sat up straight with a thump, and immediately logged into Gu's online banking with her mobile phone, only to find out that the transfer payment party was actually Gu Mochen.

"What's wrong?" Tan Weiguo asked when he saw her startled.

She replied perfunctorily: "Nothing."

Tan Weiguo didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head to continue looking at the sketch with a smile.

Tan Man looked at the screen and thought for a while.

In the past half a year, Gu Mochen basically transferred his salary to her at this time of the end of the month, but now that he received the money, he suddenly felt a little redundant.

After thinking for a while, she still decided to send Gu Mochen a WeChat message:

"Did you transfer the money to me?"

The next second, Gu Mochen made a phone call directly.

Tan Man subconsciously pressed the bell, and looked at Tan Weiguo sitting next to her like a thief. Fortunately, her father was immersed in the Spring Festival Gala and didn't notice it at all.

So, pretending to be calm, she put on her slippers and walked towards the room. As soon as the door closed, she immediately picked up the phone.

"Could it be that he was hiding in the room to answer the phone?"

Tan Man insisted: "No, I just walked away."

Gu Mochen smiled and did not expose her: "Have you received the money?"

"Well, but I have to turn it back for you." Tan Man said righteously.

"why?"

"Let's not say that I didn't go to your house at all this month. As far as our current relationship is concerned, I think it's a bit strange that you pay me wages!"

Gu Mochen chuckled lightly: "Who told you that this is salary?"

Tan Man blinked and asked, "2 yuan, what else can it be if it's not a salary."

"It's Chinese New Year, and this is a red envelope money from my boyfriend to my girlfriend." He took it for granted, "I wanted to seal you a WeChat red envelope, but there seems to be a limit, so I transferred it to the card for you."

Should she accept it or reject it, but her mood was suddenly pulled to a high point, and she couldn't help laughing. She was surprised that a serious-looking man like Gu Mochen would also do this kind of coaxing. Friends are happy.

"Uh... I feel a little guilty about accepting this red envelope. After all, you don't get paid for nothing."

"Red envelopes are not given for free, there is always something to exchange."

"Ok?"

Gu Mochen raised the corners of his lips, and smiled slyly on the other end of the phone. After a while, he spoke slowly, with sincerity and a hint of urgency in his tone:
"Manman, 2 yuan, if you come back two days earlier, okay?"

The deep and magnetic voice was so gentle that it almost melted people away. At this moment, Tan Man wished to be in front of him immediately.

She smiled shyly.

Since the establishment of the relationship, the two have been in contact more frequently than before. Facing him, they have been a little cautious at the beginning, and now they are becoming more and more natural and casual, and occasionally even playful; Gu Mochen seems to have adapted to the role of boyfriend more quickly, and the way he talks about love is also like his people, overcoming the jerky and clumsy, and directly reaching the stable period.

Just now, when he said that he wanted to exchange something, it was undeniable that she thought so wrongly that she couldn't help but blush.

Tan Man covered her slightly hot skin, pretending to be calm, and teased him: "Why do I feel like I'm doing some shady deal?"

Gu Mochen scratched the center of his eyebrows, feeling a little frustrated, and sighed softly: "I'll just say casually, you should stay at home for a while, and spend time with your father, the two of us, we will have plenty of time in the future."

Hearing this, Tan Man's heart felt hot, and she suddenly became emotional.

This is the person she likes, who is considerate, generous, considerate of others, and can shake her heart all the time, unable to extricate herself.

Thinking this way in my heart, I subconsciously blurted out:
"Gu Mochen, I miss you so much."

It was only when she heard a deep laugh from the other end of the phone that Tan Man came back to her senses, her face wrinkled together, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

At this time, Tan Weiguo just called her outside the door, and before he could speak, he took the opportunity to say: "Dad is calling me, I won't talk to you, goodbye!" After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Tan Man held the phone and calmed down. For a while, the more I wanted to be calm, the faster my heart beat.

The man on the other end of the phone obviously tasted the sweetness, but he was not satisfied. He smiled and pondered on the sofa for a while. Little Huapetal suddenly had a thought in her mind, she sank, then got up and walked towards Xiaobei's room.Although the first day of the new year is not much different from most days, it seems that everyone is inexplicably excited. Even Tan Weiguo hums a little song at home, and carefully fiddles with the peach blossom in the living room.

It's just that Tan Man was somewhat melancholy.
