charming and harmful

New Year’s Eve is coming on time, even the snowflakes seem to be celebrating this grand reunion, and they are falling on every corner of Xihong District. The lights of thousands of families are lit up at the same time. Dinner, reunion, and greetings seem to be unnecessary. When you go out, you can hear the smiles and smiles from every household.

"Dinglingling——" the retro telephone in the living room rang, Qingye was wearing a towel, and ran down the stairs while wiping his hair,

"Happy New Year,"

"Happy New Year, Qingye, we're almost ready here, quickly call your father over here." Li Mu's mother's voice came from the microphone with joy.

"Okay Auntie," Qing Ye replied, "We'll be there right away."

Qing Ye casually threw the towel after wiping his hair on the sofa in the living room, and walked out into the kitchen. Sure enough, his father was cooking that dish again. Every New Year's Eve, his father would only cook one dish. How about that dish? ...... Pan-fried saury is said to be his mother's favorite dish.It's quite fragrant.

The taste of saury is alluring, Qing Ye secretly took a piece with his hands while his father was not paying attention.Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the delicious fish meat is intertwined with the aroma of garlic, and Qing Ye knows the taste, and can't help stretching out his claws again. This time, he was discovered by his father. He put the sliced ​​​​lemon on the edge of the plate, and stared at Qing Ye. One glance, and immediately, I reached out and took a piece.

Qing Ye...

Going to Li Mu's house to spend the New Year with them has become a tradition of Qing Ye's family, and it has been like this since Li Mu hadn't moved near their house.

After Qing Ye and his father changed their clothes, they set off with a plate of pan-fried saury.

"Ding dong" the door opened in response,

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Auntie."

"Oh, happy new year, come here, please come in." Li Mu's mother, wearing a rouge-colored cotton dress, warmly greeted them, together with Li Mu and Li Mu's father. Dad's respect.

"Come on, grow taller in the new year, and study better." Li Mu's mother took out a red envelope and handed it to Qing Ye.

"The new year will be even better." Li Mu's father also handed out a red envelope.

Received two red envelopes at once, Qing Ye was so happy from ear to ear, probably when growing up, only when they received the red envelopes on New Year's Eve, could they return to the elders' wing and feel like they were still children.

"Thank you Uncle Li, thank you Auntie."

"You're welcome." Li Mu's mother smiled and reached out to touch Qingye's cheek affectionately.

Qing Ye's father immediately took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu, and squeezed his shoulder, "That's right, catch up with your father in the new year."

"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Li Mu took it with both hands, and bowed respectfully.

The two families immediately sat around the square wooden table. Due to the Japanese style of Li Mu's house, the table was extremely short, and they sat cross-legged on the tatami mat.The table has been filled with more than a dozen dishes, which are dazzlingly rich. Dad Qingye’s saury looks a bit shabby, but everyone knows the meaning. It can be said that saury is also a must for the New Year’s Eve dinner Yes, of course there is another one——

"Come on, let's eat the glutinous rice balls first." Li Mu's mother came with a tray, and there were five steaming bowls of steaming glutinous rice balls on it. They were white and tender, as if they had rolled the snowflakes outside the window into balls and boiled them.

However, Qing Ye doesn't like glutinous rice balls filled with sesame seeds or peanuts, because there is only one reason: it's too sweet.But after all, tonight, on this annual night, has a special meaning, so Qing Ye still took a few of them, and hurriedly gorged himself on the delicious food made by Li Mu's mother.

Li Mu's mother took out the rice wine brewed once a year from the basement, and poured it for Qing Ye's father and Li Mu's father. Qing Ye and Li Mu also wanted it, but Li Mu's mother watched them and said that they could only drink three glasses at most.

The homemade rice wine has a flavor that cannot be compared with any other rice wine brand. It is mellow and sweet, with a faint scent of osmanthus. It is very soft and has a bit of stamina in the mouth.

Qingye had finished his third cup of rice wine, he smacked his mouth, licked his lips, then quietly approached to the left, elbowing Li Mu.

Li Mu glanced at him from the side, understanding, the two quickly ate and left their seats, leaving behind a few adults to chat slowly.

Li Mu went back to the room to get a small pot, Qing Ye followed behind him, and the two of them went quietly to the basement.

This is almost one of the events that will happen every year, and it has become a tacit understanding between Qing Ye and Li Mu.Occasionally, Li Mu's mother would find out, and occasionally not, but so what?At that time, the wine was drunk.

The tangy aroma of wine hit his face, Li Mu took the wine spoon and poured it spoon by spoon into the jar they kept for committing crimes every year, while Qingye chuckled beside him, "Scoop more, more."

"Shhh, don't talk." Li Mu said in a low voice, they stole too much alcohol last year, and their mother found out, but Qing Ye ran away after drinking, so he was unlucky enough to be talked about by his mother for a week.

After scooping up a small can of wine, the two of them, like successful thieves, crept up to the second floor from under the eyes of their elders.

After finally arriving at Li Mu's room, before he had time to enjoy the "results of victory", people came to visit him—this is also one of the events that must happen every year.

Fatty and Mumu, every year on New Year's Eve after the New Year's Eve dinner at home, they would go to Li Mu's house together to find them to be friends. Joining friends is one aspect, but on the other hand——

The fat man accepted the red envelope from Li Mu's parents with a smile, "Thank you Aunt Li, thank you Uncle Li."

Qing Ye's father will also give it, since Fatty and the others played with Qing Ye.

"Hey, thank you Uncle Gu." The fat man smiled so much that his face blossomed. Mu Mu was not as sweet-mouthed as the fat man, and took the red envelope shyly, bowing again and again.

Qing Ye was very dissatisfied with the fact that two more people shared a small can of rice wine, and he didn't behave well in front of the elders, so he didn't start complaining until he returned to the room.

"Don't be stingy, fat man, I brought good things." The fat man's face was full of pride.

"What good stuff?" Qing Ye grabbed the biggest of the four wine glasses.

"Fireworks," the fat man smiled, "I put them in the yard of Li Mu's house, why, go after drinking the fried fireworks."

"Fireworks?" Qing Ye became a little interested, "Okay, it hasn't been set off for several years."

"Really?" The fat man turned his gaze to the wine jar on the desk, "Then I'll drink it first." Before he finished speaking, the fat man stretched out his hand,

"Wait!" Qing Ye stopped him, "I'll come first." After speaking, he picked up the wine jar and poured it into his own glass.

"Damn it!" The fat man wanted to scold his mother, "You, he,..." Due to the fact that you can't swear in the New Year, the fat man wanted to utter the foul language abruptly and changed it to, "Can you have a little conscience, just such a small can You're halfway down."

And Qingye, the heartless, shameless, and introspective Sanwu person, was unmoved at all. After drinking happily, he urged, "Hurry up, where are the fireworks?"

Baili Zhan's family:

Baili Zhan's mother finally shed the image of a strong woman, put on casual clothes at home, tied up her shoulder-length short hair, and sat around the table with Baili Zhan to make dumplings.

There are pork and cabbage stuffing, shrimp and winter bamboo shoot stuffing, celery and mutton stuffing, etc. Bailizhan is only responsible for one kind of shrimp and winter bamboo shoot stuffing, but he is still half-hearted. Stopped cell phone.

Qingye first asked him if he wanted to set off fireworks together, but Baili Zhan didn't reply, Qingye then sent him countless photos and small videos of fireworks, dozens of them back and forth, including photos of the New Year's Eve dinner and the red envelopes he received , Even the rice wine made by Li Mu's mother was sent to him.

Baili Zhan looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth, which was caught by his mother, and couldn't help but joked,

"Is it Ono-san?"

Baili Zhan didn't know when his mother gave Qing Ye a nickname without authorization, but this feeling made him a little uncomfortable, as if his mother had already seen through everything.

Sure enough, my mother continued: "You know me I'm an open-minded person, you don't need to hide this kind of thing from me." My mother smiled ambiguously.

Baili Zhan seemed to blush a little, and lowered his head in embarrassment.And Baili Zhan's mother was surprised and happy when she saw her son's appearance for the first time, and hurriedly chased after the victory, "Why don't you invite Xiao Ye to come to the house to play, because I haven't been able to chat with him before."

As if telepathic with his mother, Qing Ye sent another message with a "ding": "I want to go to your house to play tomorrow."

Baili Zhan pressed the screen off in a hurry.

Thinking of his mother's potential gossip, Baili Zhan's head twitched.

Li Mu's yard:

They have finished setting off the first wave of fireworks and are preparing for the second wave.Qingye not only grabs the wine, but also grabs the fireworks, which eventually arouses public outrage. Fatty and Mumu jointly stop him, and Li Mu goes forward to light it.

The elders stood under the eaves, watching the four people making a fuss,

"I really hope they will always look like this." Li Mu's mother suddenly sighed, and Li Mu's father showed a rare kindness in his eyes, staring at his son's back thoughtfully.

Qing Ye's father's eyes also fell on his own son, watching him finally defeat three little friends, grab the right to light fireworks, and ran forward with a proud face grabbing the lighter. little bunny.Qing Ye's father immediately took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and let it out long, then followed the direction in which the white smoke drifted to look at the quiet sky, as if he was thinking of someone, and seemed to be thinking about someone. What are you talking about to someone.

The snow has stopped, but the lights of thousands of houses are still on. Looking down from the sky, they are like clusters of sparks falling from heaven. They are bright and warm, and the orange halo covers everyone, as if they want to make a new one. A year of hope and warmth.Every family gathers together to prepare for the important moment when the New Year's bell rings.

However, Qingye was a little unhappy, and Bailizhan hadn't responded to his message until now.

So Qing Ye sent another message: "Tomorrow I will go to your house to pay New Year's greetings."

A few minutes later, Baili Zhan finally returned, but there were only two words, "No."

Qingye frowned, and said: "I'm going! You wait for me!!!"

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The new year has arrived as promised, with new throbbing and new expectations.

happy New Year.
