Chapter 29

Song Hailin didn't know how he fell asleep, but he knew exactly how he woke up.

I had a dream all night. I dreamed that he was standing on the stage talking about cross talk. He was bullied all night by teasers. Not only was he tricked into calling him dad all night, he couldn’t even argue with each other. He almost cried on the stage. , took a bite of Funny's arm.

This mouthful has a faint smell of cooked meat.

When he opened his eyes, he was holding a large piece of cooked meat in his mouth. Grandma Song stood on top of his head with chopsticks and a saucer, and said to him, "Peace and peace, good luck."

The cousin had already had something stuffed in his mouth, and he was sitting next to him, chewing with puffed cheeks, and chanting "good luck".

This unidentifiable custom is interesting, but also quite annoying. It happens every year. On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, cook a big pot of meat without seasoning, dip it in soy sauce after it comes out of the pot, and stuff it in the mouth of the younger generation. Just say something auspicious.When Song Hailin was studying "A Chang and the Classic of Mountains and Seas" in Chinese class, he saw the piece of A Changsai orange, and he had a deep understanding of the impatience described by Lu Xun, but he was so damn right.

Grandma Song was still staring at him, Song Hailin quickly chewed a few times, stuck out his tongue to lick the soy sauce around his mouth, and then said, "Peace and peace, good luck", and then grandma put down the chopsticks and bowl, mercilessly Lifted the quilt for him and said, "Hurry up and get up, someone will come to kowtow in no time."

He was dazed and wanted to sleep for a while, but before he lay down, grandma pulled his pillow, rolled up the quilt that was lifted just now, and tidied it up neatly.

"Why did I sleep in the living room?" Song Hailin sat up from the sofa and looked around.

The door of the living room was wide open, and the small cold wind in the yard whizzed in. A layer of blanket was spread on the floor as soon as you entered the door, specially prepared for the juniors who came to kowtow.He looked up at his watch, it was only seven o'clock.According to the usual winter vacation schedule, it is considered early, but on the special day of the first day of junior high school, it is considered late.His parents should have gone out to kowtow to the elders from house to house by this time.

Song Hailin stretched, and after standing firmly on the ground, he immediately lifted his cousin's back collar and walked towards the blanket.

"Happy New Year, grandparents." Song Hailin kowtowed three times to his grandparents.

Grandpa Song was sitting on the chair facing the door, and grandma was still packing breakfast for him on the side of the coffee table. After seeing her grandson kowtow, she narrowed her eyes with a smile and said repeatedly, "Happy Chinese New Year."

Grandpa waved to him and stuffed a big red envelope.

The cousin who was unwilling to kowtow next to him saw the red envelope in his hand, and immediately kowtowed three times as well, shouting: "Grandpa, grandma, red envelope is good!"

Song Hailin laughed goosebumps, went over and patted the back of his head, "You're only thinking about red envelopes, aren't you?"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

The two children didn't quarrel there for a long time, and after a while, people came outside, kowtowed as soon as they came in, and shouted "Happy New Year, grandpa and grandma".

Grandpa was sitting upright on the chair, and grandma ran all over the room to meet them. No one stuffed them with melon seeds, muttering about not being allowed to kowtow, and said in dialect over and over again, "You are rich, you will be the head when you come here!" .”

Song Hailin saw this scene every year, and was a little bit uninterested. He sat and yawned while watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala.I ran into a relative who stayed here for a while, and had to answer a few questions.

"This is Lin Lin, do you still know me?"

He looks at grandma.

Grandma came to the rescue, "This is your cousin."

He said, "Hello, Aunt Biao!"

"have you eaten?"

"Um"

"Did you do well in the exam?"

"Ah."

"Go to college?"

"Um"

"When will you bring your girlfriend home?"

"Ah."

It’s the same routine every year, and it’s never been refurbished.

Seeing that half of the morning had passed, at this time, basically all the kowtows were finished, and the next group of relatives who came for lunch hadn't arrived yet, so it happened to be an empty space in the middle.Grandpa Song took advantage of the time to go out for a walk, and his cousin had already gone to the door to whip the other children in the village, and the living room fell silent.

Only Song Hailin was left there watching TV boredly, and Grandma Song, who had been busy all morning, finally sat down and drank tea while resting on the coffee table.

At this time, a person came in suddenly.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Looking at this posture, the sincerity and sincerity are not at the same level as those who went to the market in the morning to go through the motions.

Song Hailin stared blankly for a while, this... I have never seen anyone seriously kowtow since I was a child, but this year he bumped into two of them.Looking at this posture, it is as good as his father's shocking knock at Su's house.

He quickly turned to look at his grandma.

Unexpectedly, the grandma, who had been standing on the side helping the junior all morning, was sitting extremely firm at this time, and she didn't even say the cliche of "too rich" after being knocked down.

"Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"

The person who kowtowed said.

As soon as this sentence was said, Grandma Song shed tears all over her face, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "After all these years, you still recognize me as your sister-in-law, and you still know how to kowtow to me."

"Long," the man said while crying, "a sister-in-law is like a mother."

Then Song Hailin watched the two of them cry together.

That person, Song Hailin had a vague impression, was his little grandfather, his grandfather's brother.

This kowtow ceremony should have been done by the juniors to the elders, there is no such saying among the peers.But for the current situation, Song Hailin can more or less figure it out from the nonsense of countless relatives in the past.

His grandfather was the eldest in the family, and his great-grandparents passed away early. At that time, the little grandfather was still young, and he was brought up by his grandmother, who bought a house for him, and even married his wife with the help of his grandmother.The phrase "a sister-in-law is like a mother" is really true without any adulteration.

But then there was a conflict in the family because of this ancestral house. The little grandfather hadn’t been in contact with their family for several years. .

It was time to cry.

Song Hailin felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay any longer, so he went out quietly.

He wandered around under the jujube tree in the yard for a while, and made up a text message to send his dad what happened just now.

After reading the text message he had written, he clicked his tongue. To be serious, he is quite talented on the road of criminal investigation. He has completely inherited the true inheritance of his father's genes. Quack, he can organize things so clearly.Unfortunately, not interested.

After pressing send, he tiptoed to look into the room, and the two of them moved from the ground to the ponytail next to the coffee table. At the moment, they were talking about the difficult years of the 1960 famine|famine.

His dad hasn't texted back yet.Maybe he was walking on the road right now and didn't look at his phone.

In this family, his father had a big opinion on this little grandpa, and it was not good to fight if he was in the New Year's Eve, and it would be even worse if he came to kowtow sincerely and hit him again.

It's hard to talk about things between relatives, especially when they meet Chinese New Year, it's even more troublesome.

Song Hailin sighed after thinking about it. He still felt that he should stop his father at the intersection. Even if the commotion was unavoidable, a little mental preparation could still buffer it.

New Year's Eve.

As soon as I went out, I heard some cursing voices coming from the street.

Looking along, a man wearing glasses was pointing at the door of Su Shen's house, chanting and cursing. Su Shen sat across from him with arms folded and said nothing.

The man looked very gentle, but his words were harsh.It's hard to hear.

He wanted to poke Su Shen's nose with his fingertips, "You, lunatic, you are all lunatics, why didn't you die together. You two lunatics, you can protect them very hard. You just know how to protect them since you were young. Crazy! Crazy together sooner or later!"

After pointing to Su Shen, he pointed to the side, back and forth several times.

Song Hailin didn't know whether to go or not. He wanted to go, but he felt that yesterday's incident was too embarrassing. He felt embarrassed, so he could only take a step closer, and then saw that Grandma Su was also standing at the door, which happened to be blocked by the protruding wall. .

At this moment, there are quite a few Taoist people, all of whom have just finished kowtowing and walking back. The person didn't curse too much, and it seemed that there was no momentum.

Su Shen stepped back from the door to protect grandma, blocked her back to the threshold, and said softly, "Uncle, if you come to kowtow to grandma with sincerity, we welcome you, otherwise, there is no way."

The uncle leaned forward, "You don't have a place to speak, even if the old lady lets go, this house is not your turn!"

Su Shen's eyes froze, and he swiped the wheelchair forward, forcing the uncle to push back a few steps, almost falling off the slope at the door.

"Say one more word if you have the ability," Su Shen suppressed his voice, "Say one more word, and I'll let you know what a real lunatic is."

"You!" The uncle shrank his neck subconsciously.

Then, seeing more and more people coming and going on the street, he seemed to have gained courage, pushed his glasses, and continued: "Crazy! Lame! You are a cripple and want to dominate this house!"

Before he finished speaking, Song Hailin rushed over and grabbed his front, saying viciously, "Say it again."

This person is powerful enough, every sentence can poke Song Hailin's Ni Lin, and he doesn't care about embarrassment, just thinking about shutting up this person.

Song Hailin's face was originally fierce, but now he was in a bad mood and even more fierce. The uncle scolded him to "let go" and shivered.

"What's the matter if I say it again! If you are disabled, don't let me talk about it. If you don't say it, you are still disabled!"

The uncle scratched his neck and scolded unwillingly.

As far as being "stubborn", there is still a bit of the demeanor of the Su family.Is this person really surnamed Su?How did the same set of genes mutate into such a thing?They all crooked to the bottom of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.Genes are amazing.

It was quite cold outside, Su Shen had been huddled next to the stove in the house, but unexpectedly his uncle came out suddenly, and he only wore a dark blue sweater when he came out.The front pattern is the front of a little bear with a nose and eyes, and the back pattern is the back of the same bear with a small tail.This sweater was knitted by my grandma many years ago. It looks good, but it leaks air and is not warm.

Song Hailin was shaking his fist at his uncle when he caught off guard and sneezed.

The sneeze was quite loud, as if a sword was on the verge of breaking out. Suddenly, someone played a musical sound on the tense bowstring. For a moment, even the spectators looked at him, and Song Hailin's raised fist stopped in mid-air.

"Big..." He was about to speak, but he didn't hold back, took a breath, and sneezed again.

He pinched his nose that was red from the cold, stretched out his hand and pulled Song Hailin's fist, and said, "It's New Year's Eve..."

After saying this, Song Hailin frowned.I'm afraid of this sentence, "New Year's Eve", it's like a compulsory anti-anger drug.

At the same time, Su Shen frowned.

Then another loud sneeze.

He rubbed the tip of his nose, his expression was a little aggrieved, and he spoke with a strong nasal voice, "For those who are in the Chinese New Year, let's beat them to death."

Song Hailin laughed when he heard this.

"Really beaten to death?" He squinted his eyes and smiled, Su Shen was still the same Su Shen, "It's New Year's Eve, then we can feed each other in the prison, you eat each other."

"Why did I go to prison? You beat him to death, so I can at most be a witness." Su Shen patted his wrist, "Don't worry, I will visit you often and bring you meals. "

Song Hailin's wrist was exposed, and when it was touched by Su Shen's cold hand, it seemed to be on fire, and he was distracted all of a sudden, forgetting that he was still holding the uncle's collar in the other hand.

Several neighbors around have come over to persuade them to leave.

"Okay, how about it, there are so many people, it's not embarrassing enough." Su Shen said in a low voice.

He said this to Song Hailin, but the uncle looked at him and planned to speak again.Su Shen sneered at him, and said coldly: "I'm not afraid of shame, anyway, we've been neighbors for so many years, everyone knows this matter, you?"

The final sound of "you" was raised, and the uncle shut up all of a sudden.

He knew what Su Shen meant.Su Shen and grandma are not afraid to talk about it, but he is still a teacher in the county town. He has a bad reputation in the village these years.

Song Hailin raised his hand back, the uncle took a step back, couldn't stabilize, and squatted on the ground.

He stood up as if he was about to say something, Song Hailin took a step towards him with a sullen face, and he was so frightened that he quickly got up and got into the car beside him.

Su Shen turned around and said something to Grandma Su, who then nodded blankly and entered the room.

After seeing what happened, the people around also dispersed.There is nothing to look at, and there is nothing to ask. This matter of the Su family will be staged every year.It's just that this is the first year when the trouble started during the Chinese New Year.

After Grandma Su entered the room, Su Shen looked up and smiled at Song Hailin, "Thank you for today, I really don't know what to do without you."

Song Hailin felt in his heart that Su Shen was talking nonsense with his eyes open.Judging from his calm face just now, he knew that it was not the first time he had dealt with this matter, and Bao Buqi had such troubles every year.He blurted out subconsciously: "When did you become so humble, aren't you the best in the world?"

After saying this, he regretted it.

This timing is too wrong, is it time for the two of them to joke around!

Su Shen laughed out loud, "Then I can't say that you meddle in other people's business, although it is true from a factual perspective."

Song Hailin glanced at him.

He didn't pick up his poor mouth.

"Sorry, yesterday," he said.

"Ah." Su Shen replied uncomfortably, and it took a while before he spoke again, "Are you cold?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed.

After the fight, without waiting for Song Hailin to speak, he waved at him, "It's not me, I'm going into the house, can you come in?"

Even though he said so, he didn't wait for Song Hailin, and directly rowed into the yard by himself.

It wasn't until he was about to enter the house that Song Hailin gritted his teeth and stepped in.

What is this called?

He wanted to turn Su Shen's face away, and said forcefully, I just kissed you, what's the matter!

In the end, when he really saw Su Shen, he couldn't say a word.

Su Shen rowed into the room and headed straight for the stove, but when she entered the door, she tripped over the mat on the floor at the door.

There are no relatives in their family who come to kowtow, but his grandmother spreads a mat here every year, sitting upright on a mahogany chair, with peanuts and melon seeds in front of her.

He is the only one who kneels on this mat every year.

Every time he has to be thankful, thanks to the fact that it is not difficult for him to kneel down, if his lower body is completely paralyzed, his grandma will have no hope of year after year.

He knew who grandma was waiting for to kowtow.

It's a pity, it's not easy to come this year, there is no kneeling, and there is a commotion.

After being tripped for a while, Su Shen said helplessly to grandma: "Grandma, in winter, you can spread a mat on the ground, and it will cool you off at once."

"Mat..." Grandma muttered, "The stove is so hot in the house."

"All right," Su Shen passed the ridge protruding from the mat, and successfully got to the edge of the stove, put his hands on it to warm up, "Anyway, I'm the only one who's cold."

As soon as Song Hailin finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and followed the door.

He also came out in a hurry, since just now he was outside wearing only a sweater.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the mat on the ground, and immediately kowtowed to Grandma Su, saying, "Grandma, Happy Chinese New Year."

Grandma Su narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Happy Chinese New Year."

While talking, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds for him.Song Hailin received it, and Grandma Su said to Su Shen solemnly: "I'm not alone."

Su Shen really didn't know what expression to make.

"Whose family is this from?" Grandma Su looked at Song Hailin and asked.

Grandma is out of her mind again, "Grandma, I am..."

Before Song Hailin could finish speaking, Grandma Su suddenly remembered her expression and said, "I remember, you belong to Lao Hai's family, right?"

Song Hailin's heart skipped a beat. Grandma and his father said the same thing the other day. For a while, I really couldn't figure out whether it was really not clear or just pretending.

"Grandma, I'm a big blackie," Song Hailin said pretending to be calm. Anyway, grandma definitely didn't know that he was eavesdropping outside that day. "Brother Tie Daner's classmate."

"Tie Daner?" Grandma asked, "Who is it?"

"Grandma, I am your grandson." Su Shen interjected.

After speaking, he waved to Song Hailin, "Come here to warm up, let my grandma relax for a while and she can figure it out."

Song Hailin leaned over to the stove.

Su Shen threw a small mazar over to him.

After sitting down, the two of them really concentrated on warming the fire without saying a word.

Slightly awkward.

"Oh, Tie Daner, my grandson." Grandma suddenly uttered a sound, which startled the two of them.

"Let me tell you, I'll think about it in a while." Su Shen smiled slightly.

Hearing Su Shen speak, Song Hailin subconsciously turned his head to take a look, which happened to hit his smile, and suddenly remembered the little stars in his eyes facing the fireworks last night, and was a little at a loss.

blurted out, "Sorry."

"I'm really sorry?" Su Shen waited for a while and said, "I'm really sorry, so let me return it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Hailin with his hands held back.

It took Song Hailin a while to realize what he meant, but he was blocked again and had nothing to say.

"Since you apologized, then I will assume that this was an accident, right?" Su Shen asked.

Song Hailin didn't react, and nodded following his train of thought.

"Since it was an accident, it means you had no idea at all, right?" Su Shen continued to ask.

Song Hailin felt that something was wrong, but now his mind was very confused, and Su Shen's logic was very domineering, so he could only respond with "ah".

"That's fine," Su Brainwashed continued, "Then I accept your apology, and it's fine."

"Ah..." Song Hailin felt that something was very wrong, but he couldn't really tell what was wrong, and, following his logic, after thinking about it for a while, it seemed to be all right again.

"Big Heizi!" Grandma Su said loudly suddenly, "I remembered, this is Big Heizi."

Song Hailin was startled.

"Ah..." He responded in the same manner as before.

Su Shen bumped Song Hailin with his shoulder, "Do you want tea? Ginger tea, to prevent colds."

"Ah..." Song Hailin still responded vaguely.

"Are you stuck?"

"Ah..." Song Hailin immediately reacted after finishing speaking, "No, no, no..."

"Is it really stuck?"

"No card! Didn't you hear that I changed from 'ah' to 'no', can it be called a cassette?"

"'Ah' is stuck for a while, and 'No' is stuck for a while, the cassette can't just catch a place and get stuck."

Su Shen fished out a large thermos from one side, and when the lid was opened, a strong smell of ginger rushed out of it.He poured a full glass and handed it to Song Hailin.

Song Hailin covered his nose after smelling it just now, and when he saw Su Shen handing him a hand, he immediately stretched his legs, kicked off the legs of the table and sent himself several meters back, even waving his hands, "Don't drink, don't drink!" Don't drink."

"Success, stuck again." Su Shen lowered his head and took a sip.

"I, I don't have a cassette," Song Hailin stammered confidently, and then said even more confidently: "I'm hungry."

"Didn't you eat?" Su Shen asked.

"Eat, I'm hungry for being your thug just now." Song Hailin saw that he drank more than half a cup of ginger soup, and then moved back to the stove from bending his legs again.

"It's not that I invited you here, no matter the food."

Although Su Shen said so, she still put down the thermos, moved aside and glanced inside, then turned around and said, "There are still some dumplings left over from this morning, do you want to eat?"

"Don't you say you don't care about food?"

"If you are poor again, you really don't care."

"It's all right, let's not talk about it." Song Hailin said quickly, "What stuffing, I don't eat cabbage or eggplant."

"It's quite picky," Su Shen pouted, "Coincidentally, the one with fennel, eat it or not."

"You may not believe it..." Song Hailin said.

"If you dare to say that you don't eat fennel, believe it or not, I'll go back and smear ginger soup on your face right now." Su Shen twisted her waist by 45 degrees and shook her fist at him.

"Eat, eat, eat," Song Hailin stuck his belt for a while, and then said slowly, "You may not believe me, but I just eat fennel."

Satisfied, Su Shen rowed into the room and brought out a plate of dumplings.

Song Hailin hurried to pick it up, and it was about to touch the edge of the plate. Su Shen slapped his hand off, "Hungry ghost? It's cold, I'll warm it up for you."

Song Hailin withdrew his hands resentfully, "Can you still heat dumplings?"

"Look at it, I know how to cook dumplings, and I'll show you how to cook dumplings later." Su Shen seemed to be floating into the sky.

Just as Song Hailin wanted to say something, he fried dumplings, but Grandma Su rushed to tear down the table, "Although Tie Daner can't control how to put the seasoning, he can cook the rice every time."

"Grandma! It's Chinese New Year, can you show some face!" Su Shen shouted while holding the pot.

"It's New Year's Eve." Song Hailin also laughed.

The oil in the pot was "sizzling" thinking, Su Shen saw that it was almost done, put down a dumpling with chopsticks, guessed that one side was almost done, then turned it over, turned it over and saw that the side just now was still intact. When the color came out of frying, I had to turn it over again, and went back and forth several times before taking out a dumpling.

Song Hailin stood behind him and looked into the pot.

Looking at this posture, I really don't know much about cooking. It seems that I can't control the seasoning. It's not a lie.

Su Shen put the dumplings next to each other, and fried the dumplings like embroidered flowers.But he probably couldn't take care of too much.

Song Hailin felt that when he finished embroidering this flower, he should become a real starving ghost.

When Su Shen's third dumpling came out of the frying pan, he picked up the fried dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's really delicious.

Su Shen fried the dumplings slowly, while Song Hailin waited, and ate one after another.

When the fifth one was eaten, Song Hailin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

"Ask." Su Shen was observing whether the dumplings in the pot had turned golden brown.

"That's right, the day I transferred to another school," Song Hailin rubbed his hands, "Didn't I eat a fennel bun from you?"

"What's the matter, a meal?" Su Shen smiled.

"No... eh, don't interrupt."

"Okay, I won't interrupt you to continue." Su Shen turned over the dumpling, golden brown, very satisfied.

"Then what, just treat it as the book you read, do you remember?" Song Hailin said.

"Your logic is quite smooth," Su Shen smiled, "Why don't you talk about it on the lunch box, and ask me if I remember a few little flowers on the lunch box."

"There are flowers on your lunchbox?"

"Yes..." Su Shen was about to say, but Song Hailin immediately interrupted him, "Don't tell me not to interrupt, do you still want me to ask?"

"Hey you, if you ask me, it's fine if you don't ask me, why do you still look like a second uncle." Su Shen took out the fried dumplings from the pan and put them on a plate, reminding her to shine her eyes on the dumplings. Song Hailin said, "It's hot, wait a minute."

"Then will you listen to the end." Song Hailin was still staring at the golden dumplings.

Su Shen also looked at the dumpling.From just now to now, this is the most satisfying one, with full marks for color, full marks for dumpling folds, and full marks for fullness.

"Ask, you." Su Shen said.

"Can you not turn it upside down, I almost didn't realize it." Song Hailin quickly stuffed the dumpling into his mouth.

Su Shen put another one into the pot, "You, ask."

"Hey." Song Hailin laughed, "Just your comment at that time, I glanced at it, what does your comment mean?"

"Which sentence?" Su Shen said, "I don't need dozens of comments in the whole book."

"Just that sentence..." Song Hailin coughed, "Just...'nonsense'."

"Ah?" Su Shen reacted for a moment, only to realize that this nonsense wasn't directed at him, but a commentary, "In ancient China, masculinity?"

Song Hailin didn't look at him, but stared at the dumplings in the pot seriously, and said "hmm".

Su Shen stopped for a long time, but did not turn over the dumplings.Song Hailin didn't know what he was thinking all the time, so he secretly glanced at him.

After taking a look, he realized that Su Shen had been staring at him with a smile.

"I still wonder, when will you be able to take a look at me." Su Shen said.

"Me." Song Hailin choked.

Su Shen beckoned to him, and he bent down, "What are you doing?"

"Come here, I'll tell you secretly." Su Shen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like a vixen who seduces students rushing for exams in the wilderness.

Song Hailin seemed to be bewitched, bent over uncontrollably and leaned towards him, putting his ear to the side of him.

Su Shen's smile got bigger and bigger, and suddenly reached out and pinched his earlobe.

New Year's Eve.

Song Hailin's mind went blank, and suddenly he said something like this.

The author has something to say:

In the middle of the night, I realized that it was already more than 7000 words.

I always feel that one day I will die suddenly (shut up!)

It's okay, I have goji berries.
