get close to her, bend her

The first time Zhanyun drove so far by himself was during the Spring Festival alone.She thought about it and thought she was crazy.

Sometimes life is too dull, and it is easy to make people bored. I always want to create some stimulation for myself and create a different life.

During the Spring Festival, the expressway is free, and a large number of cars driving home by themselves are inevitably stuck on the road.Zhanyun got on the expressway at 7:6 a.m. on New Year's Eve, and originally planned to get off the expressway at 9:[-] p.m., but it ended up being blocked until [-]:[-] p.m.

I thought that taking the high speed would definitely save time than going around the train, but now this traffic jam is better than taking the train.Zhanyun got off the expressway and circled around the city a few times, and it took another hour for the unfamiliar road.She calculated the time, and she didn't know what time it was when she arrived in the countryside. She was stuck on the highway for a whole day, and she didn't dare to eat too much, only drank some water.

"Ah—" Gu Qingqing yawned, went to the main room and threw another quilt on the kang.She poked Tang Chun who was eating dumplings in the stove, "Are you sleeping in the main room or on the kang."

Tang Chun still had half a dumpling in his mouth before he could swallow it, so he groaned, "Where is it warm?"

"On the kang." Gu Qingqing yawned again, she was too sleepy.

"Then sleep on the kang." Tang Chun buried his head in eating again.

"Okay, then you can sleep on the top of the kang." Gu Qingqing took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, gave way to the top of the kang, and slept on the other side with the quilt in his arms.

Tang Chun finished eating the dumplings, felt his stomach was still not very full, so he thought about it and eat it when he wakes up tomorrow.He pushed open the door of the inner room, and saw that Gu Qingqing had already fallen asleep under the quilt.He looked at the kang, touched his head, and asked, "Hey, sister, do we all sleep on the kang?"

Gu Qingqing didn't even bother to open his mouth, and his voice came out of the cracks in his mouth, "Otherwise, if you don't think it's cold, you can sleep in the hall."

"Oh." Tang Chun rummaged through the pockets of his military coat, took out a pair of eye patches, climbed onto the bed, covered the quilt, and let out a comfortable sigh. He put the eye patches on his back, his mouth still open Can't stop, "Senior sister, don't you ask me why I got here?"

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Gu Qingqing's brain still didn't turn, Tang Chun said a few more words, but Gu Qingqing just hummed a few times and remained silent.

"Senior sister? Are you asleep? Do you want to turn off the light?" Tang Chun himself yawned, but Gu Qingqing responded with a few light panting sounds. She was already asleep.

He didn't know what time it was in the morning. Tang Chun felt that he had not fallen asleep for a long time, when he heard the sound of a kitchen knife falling on the cutting board from outside.He groped under the blanket like a worm, and tore off the eye stickers on his eyes.Because of lack of sleep, his eyes were still a little bit dry, he turned his head and saw that the quilt at the end of the kang had been folded, and Gu Qingqing didn't know when he got up.

"Is it noisy to you? It's still early, go to sleep."

There was a small glass window on the partition wall between the inner room and the outer room. Gu Qingqing looked in through the window and saw Tang Chun touching his phone on the bed.

"It's only five o'clock, and I haven't slept for five hours." Tang Chun unlocked his phone, and seeing that it was still early, he covered his head under the quilt again, muttering, "Sister, it's so cold, Can you turn on the heat?"

"The heating stove isn't on fire. Wait a minute. I'll heat up the stove and the kang will be hot." Gu Qingqing brought the kneaded dough into the back room together with the basin, and pushed Tang Chun, "Let me A place to wake up."

Wrapped in the quilt, Tang Chun slipped to the side, and Gu Qingqing stuffed the basin under the quilt with the cover closed.After leaving the room, Gu Qingqing spooned out the cold dumpling soup from the big iron pot, cleaned the pot and added fresh water.After lighting the fire, she stuffed a lot of firewood into the stove, and after a while, Tang Chun felt the heat on the kang mat under him.He fell asleep in the warm blanket.

In fact, the kitchen in the main room has gas and an induction cooker, so Gu Qingqing doesn't need to make a fire by herself, but it's not that there is no heating, she has to burn the stove to heat the kang, otherwise the cold winter will make people crooked.

When Tang Chun woke up again, it was only an hour later.Gu Qingqing had already made dumplings in two large pots with lids, and there was still a pot boiling in the pot. The unique umami taste of the dumplings wafted into the inside, and Tang Chun was awakened by the smell.

When the dumplings were cooked, Gu Qingqing salvaged three bowls first, and the rest went to the dumpling plate.Before dawn outside, Gu Qingqing brought two bowls of dumplings into the main room, and lit incense in front of the portraits of her parents, "Mom and Dad, it's Chinese New Year. I know you don't like dumplings filled with pork, so I made them." Spanish mackerel."

Gu Qingqing put away the two bowls of dumplings, was stunned for a while, and left the main room.She went back to the side room, put on a cotton coat, and went out again with another bowl of dumplings.Tang Chun heard the sound of the big iron gate being pushed open, and vaguely heard the sound of New Year greetings from the street.

When Gu Qingqing came back from grandma's New Year's greetings, Tang Chun had already woken up and was sitting in front of the stove, eating the leftover dumplings.

"You're up. Eat less, there are still two pots left uncooked, and the taste is different." Gu Qingqing put down the bowl, and the dumplings in the bowl were gone, and there were a few pieces of candy instead.

"Senior sister, why did you get up so early? Who gave the candy?" Tang Chun took a piece from the bowl, peeled it off and ate it. It had no taste, just sweet.

Gu Qingqing had been busy all morning, and she was so tired that her back hurt. She gave Tang Chun a blank look, "Why did you get up so early? It's not because of you."

Tang Chun was puzzled, and Gu Qingqing explained, "Our hometown celebrates the New Year. The earlier someone wakes up on the first day of the new year, the more blessings will be accumulated this year, and the first meal on the first day of the new year must be cooked dumplings. This is New Year's Eve, get up early, the dumplings at home are cooked well, and all of them are better than big ingots. If you didn't eat up all the dumplings last night, I wouldn't have to get up so early."

Gu Qingqing looked at the other two pots of covered dumplings and asked Tang Chun, "How about we cook another pot and use the remaining pot to make fried dumplings?"

Tang Chun naturally agreed, and he asked, "Where did you go with that bowl of dumplings just now?"

"Oh, I went to pay New Year's greetings to grandma. It's also our custom. On the morning of the first day of the new year, we will give the elders a bowl of dumplings. The sugar is what grandma used to press the bowl."

"What do you mean by pressing the bowl? You have so many customs and habits." This is the first time Tang Chun has seen these, and he is extremely curious.

"It's almost like New Year's money. After delivering dumplings to the elders, you can't come back with an empty bowl. Put some coins or candy, which means that there is money to spend and life is sweet." These are what my parents told Gu Qingqing when I was young.

At this time, the sound of crackling firecrackers, the sound of kicking feet, and the sound of happy New Year greetings came to mind outside.The houses in the countryside are all detached houses, a combination of four houses, and each house has a road at the door. In this village, the voices of chattering and chattering can be heard a lot.

"It turns out that Chinese New Year is so lively." Tang Chun sighed suddenly. Their family's Chinese New Year is no different from usual, they just go out to find a bunch of friends to eat and drink, and then finish the work.

Gu Qingqing asked him while putting the dumplings into the boiling pot, "Tell me, why did you come here, how did you find my house, and kicked my door in the middle of the night, if you can, why don't you climb over the wall! "

"Hey, who said I didn't climb over the wall, I just started knocking on the door and you didn't move, so I was ready to climb over the wall, but... the wall is a bit high, I'm afraid that the dark light will fall on me, hehe." Tang Chun climbed onto the kang , chatting with Gu Qingqing through the small window next to the bed, "It's not like you don't know, my parents have their own families after divorce, and I don't want to bother them. But I don't want to waste these two days of vacation, so I I decided to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland!"

"Just a few days of vacation, you still want to travel all over the country, if you can, why don't you just go to the sky. Then why did you swim to my house, why did you lose your mobile phone, and where is your luggage?" Gu Qingqing went to boil. I poured some cold water into the pot and carefully stirred it in one direction with a spoon.Seeing the swollen dumplings floating up and down in the pot, I also felt a little happy in my heart.

"Hey, I heard from Li Xue that the glutinous rice sausages here are very delicious!" Tang Chun said, "I don't have a place to go anyway, so I came to you. As a result, alas, I was stuck on the expressway from morning to night, and it was midnight when I arrived in your city. As a result, I went to an emergency... I left my bag on the long-distance bus, and my mobile phone was also in it. Fortunately, I copied your address and kept it close to me. Take it. You said it was a coincidence, I was thinking of renting a black car to take me here, but the driver of the black car is from your village! Not only did he bring me here, but he also gave me a military coat, which is very warm!"

"Why don't you lose yourself!" Gu Qing gave him an innocent look, "Fortunately, you are lucky, otherwise you don't know where to make it right now!"

"Okay, get off the kang quickly, don't you think it's cold, go and light the heating stove!" The second pot of dumplings was already cooked, so she hurriedly fished them out.

"I can't! Hiss—hot, delicious!" Tang Chun hurriedly took a freshly cooked dumpling from the dumpling tray before putting on his shoes, and said while blowing on the heat, "This is sauerkraut meat Come on, some mashed garlic would be even better!"

"If you don't know, just study it, otherwise people will freeze to death in the past few days. Besides, if you want to cook, you have to go to the kitchen in the main room, and the side room is inconvenient." Gu Qingqing pushed the last pot of dumplings in front of him, "Fried dumplings have to go to the kitchen of the main room!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing that it was about eating and drinking, Tang Chun picked up a whole plate of hot dumplings and ran to the main room, Gu Qingqing followed behind with a pot of raw dumplings and called him, "The door is sliding, don't pull it! "

So, Gu Qingqing watched Tang Chun eat up a plate of dumplings, but did not see any fire from the heating stove. "Honey, can you stop worrying about eating? Let's fix the stove first. I'm going to freeze."

"Oh, senior sister, it's not that I don't want to do it well. I really don't know how to do it. I can't even do it with you, and I'm not capable. Don't you know how to cook the stove? Why can't you light the stove?" Tang Chun put the pot Pushed it to Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing also said helplessly, "It's really different to burn a stove. Just get some firewood for a stove, but this stove will be crushed to death as soon as the firewood is lit and coals are put in."

"Try again!"

The two of them tossed around the heating stove for another hour, and the room became thick with smoke. Just when they thought the fire was lit, they happily opened the stove cover, only the ash from the burned corn stalks and two pieces of wood remained in the hearth. An untouched black coal.

"Ah...failed again." Tang Chun threw the lighter in his hand,

"Why don't you try again?" Gu Qingqing stuffed all the waste newspapers left in his hand into the hearth, and stuffed another handful of corn stalks. "point!"

"Or, let's do it later, sister, my feet hurt from the cold." Tang Chun stared at Gu Qingqing pitifully.

"Okay, let's go!"

Gu Qingqing ran faster than Tang Chun, as soon as she entered the recipe, she got on the top of the kang, "Ah, I'm freezing to death!"

"Ahhh, I'm going to freeze to death too!" Tang Chun also squeezed onto the kang and wrapped the quilt tightly, "Senior sister, how about, let's cook in a big iron pot for a few days, and then eat Go to the kang after dinner, it's too cold."

"Okay, as long as you're not picky about food." Gu Qingqing felt her mouth trembling from the cold when she spoke.

"Hey, sister Gu, did you hear the car horn? Did your relatives come?" Tang Chun listened to the movement outside with his ears open.

Gu Qingqing leaned on the window and looked out. There were a lot of debris from other families' fried firecrackers floating in the yard.To relatives?Where does she have any relatives.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the sound of someone pushing the door of her house, followed by the sound of thumping footsteps, and a female voice rang out in the yard, "Does Gu Qingqing live here?"

"Looking for me?" Gu Qingqing and Tang Chun looked at each other and shouted, "Who is it, I'm in the side room!"

Gu Qingqing was about to get off the kang and go out to see what was going on. The man had already walked to the side room. Through the window of the side room, she saw Gu Qingqing and a man covering the quilt, nestled on the top of the kang, looking at her in surprise.

"Zhanyun! Why is she here?"

Gu Qingqing's Spring Festival this year was a bit exciting. He thought it would be deserted, but who knew that there would be guests coming to the house one after another.

"Why are you here?" In the side room, Gu Qingqing asked Zhan Yun to go to the kang to warm up, but Zhan Yun stood below, looking at Tang Chun, who was covered tightly with a quilt, and then at Gu Qingqing, asking, " You two slept here yesterday?"

"Yes, it's warm here." Gu Qingqing didn't feel anything wrong at all.It was Tang Chun who smoothed things over, "The stove in the main room can't be turned on, so we can only make do with it. Look how big this kang is. It's no problem to squeeze seven or eight people to sleep together."

"Okay, Datong shop is quite unique." Zhan Yun's face was slightly ugly, but Gu Qingqing didn't care and thought she was cold.

Gu Qingqing pulled Zhan Yun's hand, "Get on the kang to warm up."

Zhan Yun shook her hand away, Gu Qingqing thought she disliked her dirty hands, so she quickly apologized, "I just fixed the heater, don't mind."

"The stove hasn't lit the fire yet?" Zhan Yun asked, Gu Qingqing pouted in distress, "No, I'm about to freeze to death, so I can only lie on the kang."

"Take me there." Zhan Yun gave an order, Gu Qingqing hurriedly got off the kang, Tang Chun followed closely.

"Go and fetch a basin of clean water." As soon as he entered the main room, he looked at the water tank of the heating stove, and there was no water at all inside.

"This kind of heating stove is heated by boiling water in the water tank. Without water, it is useless for you to light a fire."

Zhan Yun asked Gu Qing to hold the stool for help, and poured several pots of water into the water tank, until the water level in the transparent water level indicator cover above the water tank was more than half, and then stopped filling.

Gu Qingqing and Tang Chun ordered the stove that hadn't been lit for nearly two hours, and less than 15 minutes after Zhan Yun arrived, a raging charcoal fire was lit.

"I'm going, it's too warm!" Tang Chun leaned against the radiator and couldn't get up.

"Thank you, I thought I could only lie on the kang these few days, oh, it's really warm like spring now!" Gui Qingqun also leaned on the radiator of the other half, contented, she looked at Zhan Yun I just remembered that I haven't asked her why she came here.

"Are you here for a trip too?" Gu Qingqing asked.

Zhan Yun was adding coal to the heating stove, when he heard the sound, he looked up at Gu Qingqing, and answered bluntly, "What kind of trip are you traveling, I'm here to see you."

What Zhan Yun said was straightforward, Gu Qingqing didn't know why, "Oh, come and see me, okay, let's celebrate the New Year together."

Tang Chun didn't think it was wrong, and urged Gu Qing, "Senior sister, the heating is on, let's go to the kitchen and make fried dumplings!"
