Don't you say I'm a substitute

From childhood to New Year's Eve, it's just a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Zheng Zaochun began to dress up the children.First change clothes for the eldest daughter Qiuqiu, who gets up immediately after yelling, and comb up two little chirps, with two bunches of red chili peppers tied on them.Little Pepper swayed as he ran, making the only little princess in the family smart and cute.

Then they hurriedly dug up the sleepy two sons from the bed, took off the long johns and long johns they wore for sleeping, and put on the newly bought sweater and overalls that had floated in the water. Lu Haoze and Zheng Zaochun heard that the twins It is best to wear the same clothes, so the clothes they buy for the two brothers are basically bought in one style and two colors.No, Xibao's sweater is blue with a little tiger on his chest, and Lebao's sweater is green with a little lion on his chest.

Just as the children were ready, before Lu Haoze could wake up, the doorbell rang.

"Xiao Zheng, open the door and ask who it is." Aunt Zhou was chopping chicken in the kitchen, poked her head out and called Zheng Zaochun to open the door.

"Eh!"

As soon as Zheng Zaochun opened the door, he was stunned when he saw the person coming.

"Miss..."

Seeing the faces of the people outside the door darken after hearing what he said, Zheng Zaochun stood awkwardly holding the doorknob, not knowing what to do next.

Aunt Zhou waited for a long time and saw no movement, she was surprised when she came out, she wiped the chicken oil on her hands indiscriminately, and rushed to knock on the door of Lu Haoze's bedroom.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and the two resolutely entrusted the children to Aunt Zhou. Lu Haoze first invited Zheng Zaochun to watch a movie, and then went to a famous western restaurant in the central area for a romantic candlelight dinner. A waiter brought a large bouquet of roses, which directly moved Zheng Zaochun, so the night naturally became a bit late. Zheng Zaochun got up early because he was thinking about Chinese New Year today, and Lu Haoze had eaten enough last night. Some can't get up.

However, when he heard Aunt Zhou say that his elder sister was at the door in his sleep, Lu Haoze woke up immediately.Quickly got up from the bed and rushed out of the room, rushed to Zheng Zaochun who was daring to greet him at the door, and stopped him at the entrance with his long arms.

"What are you doing here?!" He came up and asked in a blunt manner.

"What else can I do?! Let's take a look at the child and give you a new year!" Dissatisfied with Lu Haoze's way of inquiring, the last three words, Miss Lu, dragged on for a long time, and after finishing speaking, she turned to Zheng Zaochun vigorously He rolled his eyes.

"I made it very clear whether on the phone or in the text message. Since you don't agree with my lover, you are not welcome in our family." Sister Lu's attitude annoyed Lu Haoze. She pointed to the door with one hand and held it with the other. On the doorknob.

"You!" Sister Lu was also very angry. She delayed coming to her younger brother's house until the [-]th day. She just felt that it was already this day. After the Chinese New Year, my younger brother would definitely not make trouble with her. Maybe I will try harder. You can also persuade him to go back to his hometown with the children... The abacus was crackling, but Lu Haoze didn't buy it at all.

"It's Chinese New Year, don't force me to say nasty words." Sister Lu put her hands on her hips, as if she was about to quarrel.

"It's the same with me. If you're celebrating Chinese New Year, don't force me to drive you out."

Standing behind Lu Haoze, Zheng Zaochun looked at Lu Haoze, whose cheeks were twitching with anger, and at Sister Lu, who was staring wide-eyed.

"What's so good about this kind of life?! Home is not like home, and parents are not like parents. How do you let your son and daughter look at you two when they grow up? I have advised you so many times, so listen to it!" Fearing that she would be kicked out, Sister Lu began to speak hard and planned to save the country.

"Who I choose to spend my life with is my business. It's not up to you to tell me what to do. As for the children, you don't need to worry about them. Since Early Spring and I have the ability to raise them, we have the confidence to teach them a correct outlook on life." World view. I don’t want to repeat the same thing, now you can go out, and our family is celebrating the New Year.” Seeing Big Sister Lu going around and repeating the old story, Lu Haoze was so angry that his blood pressure almost rose.

Sister Lu who had a bad nose was invited out, and Lu Haoze led Zheng Zaochun to the sofa and sat down.

"...I'm sorry..." After much deliberation, Zheng Zaochun still felt that he was responsible for the quarrel between the siblings.

"Fool, why are you apologizing? If you want to say sorry, I'm the one who said it. This kind of thing happened early in the morning of the Chinese New Year, and it disturbed everyone's good mood for the New Year."

"But……"

"Zaochun," Lu Haoze pointed his index finger between Zheng Zaochun's lips, "are you happy with me and the children?"

Zheng Zaochun was a little confused, isn't he still talking about what happened just now, why did he suddenly ask this.

"happy."

"That's enough. It's better for us to live happily as a family. It's better to waste all that energy thinking about common laws and regulations. It's better for us to be happy every day. Don't you think so?" Lu Haoze knew Zheng Zaochun There has always been a knot in his heart, and the knot is not so easy to untie, but he is willing to take the trouble to explain it to him time and time again.

Lu Haoze's affectionate eyes made Zheng Zaochun's heart thump.

"Yeah." Zheng Zaochun squeezed Lu Haoze's right hand on his knee, "I want to be with you..."

"And me!" Qiuqiu jumped up from behind the sofa and threw herself on Zheng Zaochun's back.

"And me!" Xi Bao Le Bao imitated her sister's words, rushed out from the side and squeezed between Lu Haoze and Zheng Zaochun.

It was only now that Zheng Zaochun realized that he was in the living room and not the bedroom. Thinking of the three children hearing the confession between him and Lu Haoze, he wished he could bury his face in his chest.

"Hahaha, we have all of them, and we have three big babies!" Lu Haoze put his arms around the children and was in a good mood.

After Lu Haoze's interruption, the displeasure of the uninvited guests was swept away at home, and the warm atmosphere of the Chinese New Year returned.

"Ah~" Lu Haoze yawned, "What time is it? Everyone is tidy?" I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I will take a look at it when I have time to take a look. Qiuqiu's red leather shoes are dazzling, and the twins are dressed up. Like two little golden beans, very cute.

"It's getting late, you should go wash up quickly, and come out to have breakfast after washing." Zheng Zaochun pushed Lu Haoze, urging him to go to the bathroom.

Lu Haoze washed his face and shaved his beard, put on the new clothes and trousers that Zheng Zaochun had found in advance and spread them out on the bed, and looked beautiful in front of the mirror for a long time.

Look, this is the shirt chosen by the wife, it fits well; look, this is the cashmere vest chosen by the wife, it is warm; look, this is the slacks chosen by the wife, it is comfortable!

Zheng Zaochun called several times in the dining room but Lu Haoze did not come out, so he put down the bowl and went to the room to look for it himself.

"What is this man dawdling about? Hurry up and eat, I can pack up and prepare for the New Year's dinner after eating!"

After entering the room and looking around, he finally found someone who was smug in front of the full-length mirror in the cloakroom, Zheng Zaochun clicked his tongue.

"Didn't I tell you that this collar doesn't need to be tucked into the vest, and the shirt doesn't need to be so tightly buttoned, and it's not that I want to wear it to work, so I have to button every button so tightly." Zheng Zaochun said while stretching out his hand to tidy it up. .

"Hey hey hey."

Zheng Zaochun glared at Lu Haoze who was standing there with his neck up and smirking, "What are you smirking about?!"

"Daughter-in-law, the clothes you bought for me are beautiful..." The two stood very close to each other, and Lu Haoze's two hands embraced Zheng Zaochun who was turning up his collar.

"... I still think the vest should be light gray, isn't brown a bit old-fashioned?"

"No, I think it looks good." The big hands on the waist rubbed and rubbed...

"Okay. Let's go out to eat, each person has a bowl of glutinous rice balls with rice wine, and only yours is left." Zheng Zaochun ignored Lu Haoze's increasingly wanton stroking, turned and ran away.

Glutinous rice balls, round and round, the sweetness of sesame stuffing in Lu Haoze's mouth, sweet all the way to his heart.

With the full cooperation of Aunt Zhou and Zheng Zaochun, plus the "flag-waving" by Lu Haoze and the three children, the old Lu's New Year's Eve dinner was finally served when it was getting dark.

"Try it quickly, I made cold salad with three shreds." Zheng Zaochun looked expectantly at the several "leaders" at the table like soldiers waiting for inspection.

"Mmm! It's delicious! It's just right, neither salty nor bland!" Lu Haoze commented.

"What kind of comment do you make? It's really perfunctory." Zheng Zaochun took a pair of chopsticks and put the carrot shreds that Le Bao secretly picked out into the bone dish back into his small bowl. "I heard that in my hometown, there must be this cold dish during the Chinese New Year. It is red and green, which means that the new year will have a good start."

"Well, what Dad cooks is delicious!" Qiuqiu commented like Lu Haoze, shaking his head.

Hearing her daughter's evaluation, Zheng Zaochun was visibly happy, and Lu Haoze muttered inwardly.When he flatters, he will say perfunctory, and when his daughter pats him, he will be happy like something, different treatment.

"And this, everyone should eat this." Zheng Zaochun pointed to the plate of sliced ​​lotus root with green peppers.

"What's so important about this?" Lu Haoze picked up a few chopsticks for the children who couldn't reach them.

"Eat lotus roots in the New Year, keep your eyes open! Xibao! Don't eat carrots for your younger brother!"

"Oh~ Hurry up, hurry up, children, eat quickly, you'll be wise!" Lu Haoze urged, patting the backs of several children.His exaggerated appearance made Zheng Zaochun laugh, "I think you should eat more!"

After the cold dishes are served, the highlight of the New Year's Eve dinner will be staged one by one.

Pine nut fish, lion head, braised pork ribs, ground delicacies, stewed radish with mutton, stewed knuckles with taro, beef brisket with tomatoes, stewed crab roe vermicelli, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried garlic moss, stir-fried konjac with sauerkraut...

"This too, isn't it too rich..." Lu Haoze held the bowl and looked at the layers of bowls and plates on the table, and the sound of hot dishes being put into the pot continued to be heard from the kitchen.

"There are still some vegetables, eat slowly." Zheng Zaochun smiled and looked at the stunned Lu Haoze.

"That's enough..." As soon as the Spring Festival Gala started, Lu Haoze felt that he couldn't eat anymore.

"Do you want chicken soup? The chicken soup is on the balcony, give me the bowl and I'll scoop it up for you."

Zheng Zaochun ignored Lu Haoze's weak protest, took his bowl and went to the balcony.The cold wind blowing on the balcony made people wake up a lot. Zheng Zaochun looked at the lights of thousands of houses not far away, and listened to the Spring Festival Gala played by every household in his ears. The beaming voice of the host suddenly gave him a sense of unreality in his heart.Before meeting Lu Haoze, Zheng Zaochun spent almost every New Year's Eve alone in that small rented house, and every time he turned around, he heard the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the house, the bustle and excitement outside the house. The gap formed by the desertedness in the house would always make him feel particularly sad. At that time, how much he longed for himself to have a warm home.

"What are you thinking? You haven't come in for a long time to fill a soup, be careful to catch a cold."

A blanket was draped over Zheng Zaochun's shoulders, and Lu Haoze wrapped him in a daze from behind.

"Look over there, it's brightly lit, it's so pretty." Zheng Zaochun leaned into Lu Haoze's arms in relief.

"Well, it looks good." The resonance from Lu Haoze's chest on the back shook Zheng Zaochun's heart.

The two of them hugged each other, silently admiring the night view.

"Brother Lu, it's great to meet you." After a while, Zheng Zaochun suddenly said.He used to plan to give up the person behind him and live a lonely life, but fortunately, God had mercy on him, and the person he liked also fell in love with him.Zheng Zaochun felt that his mouth was stupid, and he couldn't say those beautiful words of love, love, but in this situation, he thought he must say something.

Hearing this long-lost title, Lu Haoze's nose ached. His conceit and arrogance almost made him lose Zheng Zaochun, but fortunately, God's blessing brought the person he loved back into his arms.

"Well, it's good." Lu Haoze blinked the tears in his eyes, and buried his head on Zheng Zaochun's shoulder with attachment.Going on to say that he was afraid that he would not be able to cover the choking in his throat, and he couldn't cry when it was Chinese New Year.

Quietly stroking the hands around him, Zheng Zaochun felt the change in Lu Haoze's mood, hey, blame him for not paying attention to being so sensational, and making Lu Haoze cry after a good New Year's Eve.

"Is the New Year's Eve dinner delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Then eat everything except the fish!"

"..."

"Drink the chicken soup and mutton soup too!"

"What?!"

While Lu Haoze was in a daze, Zheng Zaochun smiled and lifted the lid of the casserole and began to pour soup into his bowl.
