Most of the shops in the streets and alleys are closed, and every household is busy celebrating the New Year. From time to time, you can hear the sound of "cracking" firecrackers, far and near, long and short.Poverty, wealth, no matter what, when the time comes, you have to stop. It is time for people who have been busy for a year to sit down with their families and have a good chat.

Kang Bo was old and childless, and in previous years he stayed in the shop to look after the shop, and this year is no exception, it's just that he has an extra "A Cai" to accompany him.Most of the guys in the store lived not far away, and they rushed back before New Year’s Eve, and they would come back to work after the New Year. Li Mao had no relatives, no reason, and nowhere to go, so he had to stay at Cai’s Tea House and help watch Look at the shop.

The cook also went home, and cooked a hot meal for the two of them before leaving, but in the end she still had to figure out her own way.The shopkeeper Cai has been traveling all over the country for a year, and now he is resting at home, leaving only Li Mao and Kang Bo at the store. Before he left, the shopkeeper gave him a lot of money. Going to the restaurant to buy food for a few days is enough.

"Ah Cai, what are we eating for lunch?"

"What would you like to eat, Kang Bo?"

"I don't have anything to eat. After all, it's the Chinese New Year. Let's eat something good."

"Then I'll go buy a roast chicken and order some wine."

"Row!"

Kang Bo is not good at anything else, just a few sips of wine.

Li Mao found a place to buy food easily, but the wait was a bit long.There are still many restaurants open during Chinese New Year. After all, everyone has to eat at any time, especially during Chinese New Year. Many rich people order food directly from restaurants, which is convenient.The shop selling roasted chicken was extremely busy, the price of roasted chicken even went up, and the wine was almost sold out. If Li Mao was later, he would have to wait until tomorrow.

Kang Bo was not good at cooking, so he cooked rice and steamed some pre-prepared meat dishes. After Li Mao went back, the two of them were almost ready to eat.

"Ah Cai, lit the firecracker hanging by the door, and left a tinder in the stove."

Li Mao lit the firecrackers with the tinder between the tongs. After a burst of cracking noise, the smoke filled the air for a long time before dissipating.Kang Bo arranged the dishes, the two sat opposite each other, Li Mao poured the wine, and the father and son ate in silence.

As soon as Kang Bo picked up the cup, Li Mao stood up, holding the cup with both hands and wanted to toast him. For more than half a year, Kang Bo has been taking good care of him.

"Sit down, you don't need to stand up." Kang Bo raised his hand and made a downward movement, and Li Mao sat back on the stool.

"Ah Cai, you are not young during Chinese New Year, are you?"

"Fifteen."

"Only fifteen?" Kang Bo was a little surprised, "Fifteen is actually quite young, do you have someone you like?"

Li Mao drank the wine in his glass silently, Kang Bo laughed when he saw this, took the jug and filled it up for Li Mao again, the old god said: "You don't talk much on weekdays, but the old man, after all, I have lived so long It’s been many years, and you can see it at a glance, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Kang Bo was also idle and bored, and he still liked Li Mao, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "If you like it, just say it, you young man looks good to me, and you are serious about things."

Li Mao shook his head.

"What? Excuse me?"

"No."

"What's the matter? Did the girl already know? Or did her family disagree?"

Li Mao would not tell others anything about the person he likes, let alone say that the person he likes is a man he can't reach, so he could only vaguely say: "He knows that I am not good enough for him. "

"Could it be that the girl you like is an official? A rich man?"

Kang Bo didn't know the origin of politeness, but Dongcheng was at the foot of the emperor after all, and the most indispensable thing was rich and powerful people. He guessed that the family of the person Li Mao liked was either rich or noble, and the two were not in the same household. Well, maybe it was because of these things that Li Mao was beaten so badly that he hid in the tea shop as a waiter and dared not go home.

In the blink of an eye, Kang Bo has imagined a poignant love story between a rich lady and a poor boy, which is really touching and tear-jerking.

"Oh, don't be discouraged, you are still young, work hard!"

Li Mao smiled at Kang Bo, and the two had a drink.

Chinese New Year is the busiest time of the year for Wei Yunzhi, he is busy attending banquets for nothing else.The emperor's banquet, the queen's banquet, the prince's banquet, the princess's concubine's banquet, Mu Wang's banquet... Formal, simple, all kinds of messy banquets, you come and go, it's annoying, but you still have to go, Otherwise it's all trouble.Li Xiu was bored and played cards with Su Ye and the others.Xiao Dongzi went to the banquet with Wei Yunzhi, and Mother Qiu was taken back by her family. Su Ye and Li Xiu were short of two, so they found two court ladies and eunuchs who could play cards, and prepared to train newcomers in case of emergencies. .

Qiu Nanny left, Sixi had been listless all this time, but Li Xiu liked it very much, and fell asleep hugging it on his lap while playing cards.Sixi is the poodle under Wei Yun's name. It looks quite festive, so Wei Yunzhi gave him the name of the dish.

Su Ye was also free, and made small clothes for Sixi to wear. They were very prosperous and had the feeling of Chinese New Year. The four small shoes on her feet were also red, making her snow-white hair even more dazzling.

When Wei Yunzhi came back, it was already very late, half drunk, Xiao Dongzi almost helped him into the door with his arms half in his arms.Now Wei Yunzhi can no longer use his young age as an excuse to stop drinking, his brothers all drink, no matter how poor his health is, he can't stop drinking.Everyone is not blind. In the second half of this year, Wei Yunzhi's head has grown a lot, and his face has grown some flesh. He is no longer blindly sick and weak, and he already looks a little manly.

Su Ye put down the cards in her hand, and led the servants to get busy, preparing hot water and handkerchiefs for Wei Yunzhi to scrub, and Li Xiu holding Sixi could not help, so he could only watch.

"Where are you going... where is the hot water?" Wei Yunzhi lay on the couch, closed his eyes and let others toss, blushing, reeking of alcohol, and did not forget to swipe and pull his fingers, "I want to take a bath!"

Su Ye and Xiao Dongzi wiped Wei Yunzhi's face together. They wanted to wash his feet before going to bed, but they never thought that this young master would suddenly want to take a bath.

"Then, should I wash it or not?" Xiaodongzi was in a dilemma, "Don't catch a cold..."

Su Ye was also worried about this, but Wei Yunzhi kept tossing and moving, muttering about taking a bath, but refused to sleep.

Li Xiu handed Sixi to someone else, stepped forward and said, "It's better to sleep in a bath, I'll come."

The two of them took a lot of effort to strip Wei Yunzhi naked, and helped him into the bathtub, Xiao Dongzi took him out the door, Li Xiu took the towel and started to wipe his back as usual.

Two eyes fell on his face, Li Xiu raised his head, and found that Wei Yunzhi was staring back at him, his posture was distorted, Li Xiu smiled and sighed, and turned his face back carefully, after a while, Wei Yunzhi turned back When he came back, his eyes were all erratic, which showed that he was not lightly drunk.

"Isn't your neck sore?"

Wei Yunzhi thought about it, tossed and turned in the bathtub with difficulty, and turned to face Li Xiu.

"who are you?"

"Hehe, who do you think I am?" Li Xiu lowered his head and wiped Wei Yunzhi's arm, "Are you so drunk that you don't recognize me?"

The other hand lifted up from the hot water and squeezed Li Xiu's chin, forcing him to look up.Wei Yunzhi was a little stronger after being drunk, Li Xiu knew that he didn't do it on purpose, but his jaw hurt a little, and the restraining action made him feel very embarrassed.

Wei Yunzhi got very close, and the two of them almost blended with each other.The water flowed down Li Xiu's chin, across his slender neck, and disappeared into his chest wrapped in clothes.

Wei Yunzhi's vision became increasingly blurred.

"You..." Wei Yunzhi's voice was barely audible, "It doesn't look like you anymore..."

"Then who am I like?"

Li Xiu's movements were very light, and the two of them would kiss if they were not careful, it was too close.

"do not know."

The strength in Wei Yunzhi's hand was getting stronger and stronger, and Li Xiu couldn't help but hold that strong hand in pain, trying to release it, but he couldn't take it away.

"I am who I am, not like anyone else."

Wei Yunzhi didn't answer any more, and opened his mouth to cover the two lips in front of him. He felt that something was wrong with him tonight, as if he didn't eat enough.

It was a hunger from the depths of the soul.
