coward

The small bubbles in the pot were bubbling happily, and the three of them began to add ingredients into it.

Li Xiluo took a plate of beef, swiped it, poured it in, and suppressed the blisters with his own strength.

"What are you doing?! Do you have anything like this?" Wu Guang glared at him.

"It's so satisfying."

"You won't be able to finish the second half of the plate, and you can still eat it later."

"Oh, same."

Wu Guang ignored him and took away the mutton in front of Li Xiluo.

Li Xiluo looked at it and laughed, "Why, you want to protect the food?"

"I don't understand, how could you play with this idiot." He said and picked up a chopstick of vermicelli for Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe who was pointed: "..."

"Hey, no, we're fine, why don't you want to play with me? We still sleep together!" Li Xiluo snorted, took a spoonful of meat from the pot with a small colander and put it on Li Qing and Wanli said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when you get old."

"Don't, it's too much..." Li Qinghe was at a loss.

He put a piece of mutton in his mouth, the meat was very fresh, boiling in the hot and fragrant soup, the mouthful was delicious.He smiled at Li Xiluo, revealing a little bit of canine teeth.

Li Xiluo didn't speak, but turned around and lowered her head to eat.

The three ate for a while and began to sweat.The taste of the new year is wrapped in the rich and fragrant heat, and the soup pot is bright red, creating a prosperous and festive atmosphere.

Li Qinghe's face was flushed, the hair on his forehead was wet, and he hissed for water.

The small kitchen is inherently small, and when the doors and windows are closed in winter, there is only a small gap, which wraps the warmth of the room.

The young body can't stand the heat the most. The half-grown young man took off his coat, revealing a half-teenage, half-adult figure.

Li Xiluo only thought it was hot, and when he pulled off his down jacket to reveal his white T-shirt, both brothers were shocked.

"Are you cold?" Li Qinghe saw that he was hot, and his long hair was tied into a bun.But no matter how hot it is, the house in winter is not a few degrees warmer than the outside. Besides, this house has no heating at all.

"It's not cold, I'm afraid of heat. This room is stuffy and stuffy."

His clothes were probably too small for Li Xiluo, so in the end Li Qinghe found his brother's coat for Li Xiluo, and opened the window a little more.

"The soup here is so spicy!" Li Xiluo said, stuffing a big mouthful of vegetables into his mouth.

Wu Guang opened three cans of beer, and the two younger ones drank vigorously.

"Is it so spicy? I think it's okay." Wu Guang took a sip of beer and used a colander to scoop fish balls for the two of them.

"Brother, why don't you have pimples? I haven't had much acne since I was a child." Li Qinghe looked at the red soup base in the bowl, hesitated, and wanted to try his brother's feeling of drinking it like that.

He took a sip carefully.

In the next second, his face flushed, he put down his bowl, and poured down beer.

Wu Guang and Li Xiluo laughed heartlessly when they saw how hot he was.

Li Xiluo took a bottle of water from the side, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Li Qinghe: "Drink water, stop drinking."

"Leave him alone, it's nothing." Wu Guang put enoki mushrooms and vegetables into the pot.

"Qinghe can drink well?" Li Xiluo asked.

Li Qinghe was a little embarrassed to be asked such a question, put down the wine, and coughed softly: "No..."

"Well, it's okay." Wu Guang was busy picking up the lion's head, and agreed to help.

Li Xiluo moved the small bench forward and looked very excited: "Then...shall we have something white?"

"I bought it!" He hurriedly added.

Of course the two agreed.

Li Xiluo poured three full cups out of plastic cups.

"Come on, let's touch one, to celebrate the New Year with the three of us." Li Xiluo stretched out his hand lazily, holding a glass of white wine. The warm white smoke passed under his hand, and the three of us clinked a glass full of New Year.

Baizhuo trickled down his throat, wanton and happy.

After two rounds of drinking, the three of them started talking more, and even Li Qinghe started to move the small bench forward to talk to Li Xiluo.

Li Xiluo fished and fished in the pot, all the vermicelli and shrimp were cooked.

"Are you full?" Li Xiluo asked while holding up her chopsticks.

Of course he wasn't drunk after two rounds of wine, but he couldn't stop the excitement that filled his nerves with alcohol.

Li Qinghe shook his head.

He stared at Li Xiluo and shook again.

There was no expression on his face, but his face was flushed, even the corners of his eyes were red.He kept shaking his head, like a child about to cry without asking for candy.

Li Xiluo laughed out loud: "Ah, aren't you full? Neither am I."

He happily stood up and looked around the room.

"Brother Guang, where's your face?"

Wu Guang saw him shaking halfway, and sighed, "You're behind."

"Ah."

Li Xiluo moved the bench under her feet, took the two pieces of noodles and looked at Li Qinghe and said, "Come on, brother Luo will make you noodles!"

In the end, he squeezed a dose of dough and squatted on the ground laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Li Qinghe also laughed happily, the fish ball rolled from under the chopsticks three times.

Wu Guang pulled the noodles expressionlessly, and his technique was not generally proficient.He looked at the two people who were smiling like fools over there, and hooked the corners of his lips helplessly.

The noodles are ready, Wu Guang fished them out, who knows that the two who said they were not full all said they were full.

"I don't, I'm full, I don't want it." Li Xiluo waved her hand to refuse Sanlian.

Li Qinghe also clamored to learn from him: "I'm full, don't, I don't."

Wu Guang smiled kindly: "Let's talk about eating or not. My wrench hurts people."

In the end, the two of them squatted together, muttering and eating their half bowl of noodles.

The three of them started cooking the hot pot as soon as they came up, so the barbecue was naturally put on hold.

After eating, Wu Guang pointed at them with a spoon to clean up, "Look what a mess you two have made in the kitchen! Clean it up for me!"

There's no way, if the older brother has no conscience, it will be hard for the younger brother.

After tidying up and finishing a busy meal, it will be midnight.

Some people have set off fireworks sporadically.

Li Xiluo said that he wanted to watch the fireworks, Wu Guang ignored them and let them go.

Seeing that the two of them were a little drunk, but not sober, they looked like human beings when they walked.

Li Xiluo didn't know, that son of a bitch must be fine, he didn't force him too much when he was a child.

It's the Chinese New Year, but it's just to make people happy, let's make a fuss, make a fuss as much as you want.

After going out the door, the two of them were tightly wrapped, there was no way, no matter how hot it was just now, it couldn't stop the cold outside.

The two of them walked along the street. It was Chinese New Year, but there were still not many people on the street.

There was a group of children setting off firecrackers at the intersection.

It is said that firecrackers are not allowed to be set off, there is no way, this place is remote, and no one can control it.

The wildness of the native children can't be changed, and they will play secretly if they are not allowed to let them go.

All kinds of throwing cannons, stepping on cannons, and "little bees" flying into the sky with a "chirp", all kinds of gadgets exploded in a corner of this dim and ruined small county.

Fry at the end of the year, at the beginning of the new year, in the innocence of laughter, in the atmosphere of the New Year.

Sparks twinkled and reflected in the eyes of the two teenagers standing next to each other.

They stood by the side, under the street lamp, in the dark, looking at the bright scene in front of them.

The children cheered and laughed, there was nothing, but a cluster of sparks applauded happily.

They have it all.

Happiness, family, friends, expectations, future.

"Yo, you're quite good at playing." Li Xiluo watched a little boy throw a firecracker at a little girl's feet wickedly, and when the little girl screamed in fright, he dragged her away.In exchange for the little girl, thank you.

"Tsk, incredible." He sighed.

Li Xiluo turned to look at the young man beside him.His eyes were full of longing, and sparks flashed in his eyes, like fireworks exploding in the dark night sky, colorful.

Li Qinghe just turned to look at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, very pretty.

Yes, it looks good.

Li Xiluo felt that on this New Year's Eve, something exploded, not only in the night sky.

"Want to play?" Li Xiluo asked him, tilting her head.

"Brother Luo will buy it for you."

Li Qinghe didn't speak, his eyes wandered wildly, and finally he looked at him firmly.

"Do you want to?"

"want."

Li Qinghe whispered.

Li Xiluo smiled and told him to stand still.

Li Xiluo turned and ran away.

After a few minutes, Li Qinghe saw Li Xiluo running back, holding a large handful of fairy sticks in his hand.

"I asked, there is no fairy stick in the canteen, let's just make do with this fairy stick." Li Xiluo smiled and unwrapped it.

Li Qinghe was amused, his smiling eyes crooked, "What kind of fairy and fairy boy."

"Aren't you? Like an elf."

Li Xiluo didn't think Li Qinghe looked like an elf at all, but he just felt that he was different from others in every way, and the energy that came out of his bones was unique, just like his name.

He handed Li Qing and two of them, and found the lighter after groping around for a long time.

As soon as it is lit, the fairy wand will rattle, and little sparks will pop out.

Li Qinghe held the two fairy sticks, swallowed, and didn't move when they were almost burnt out.

"Shake it, it looks better when you turn your arms." Seeing that he didn't move, Li Xiluo stared at the little wire rod that had burned out.

Li Qinghe looked up at him with dazed eyes.

"Look, let's play like this." Li Xiluo took another cigarette and lit it, then twitched it twice and stuffed it into Li Qinghe's hand.

Then he slowly circled around with Li Qinghe's hand.

Tiny sparks kept popping up, drew a bright line in midair, and then disappeared in an instant.

Li Qinghe looked at the bright circles in front of him, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He blinked, the light in his eyes was covered by his eyelashes and flashed again, like fireworks flashing across the night sky.

Li Xiluo looked into the eyes that were very close to Li Qinghe.These eyes are very bright.There was excitement and joy in his eyes.

Many times he just saw these eyes drooping, neither sad nor happy.Encountering unfairness and unreasonable troubles, I just look at you so firmly, my eyes are calm, and then I lower my eyes, leaving only a pair of white eyelids for you, and my eyelashes obediently kiss the blue gray under my eyes.Bury disdain and hide opposition.

Now those eyes are full of joy,

very nice.

It's best to stay that way.

Always like this.

Li Qinghe was happily playing with the fairy sticks, and Li Xiluo handed them to him one by one.Later, he went to the commissary and bought a lot of them in his pocket.Until the small thin wire rod fell on the ground at the foot.

Suddenly smoke and fireworks rose in the air, startling Li Qinghe.Monochromatic, multi-colored, all kinds, so lively.

It's the Chinese New Year, and everyone is watching the time to celebrate the new year, scrambling to add some happiness to the new year.

Li Xiluo and Li Qinghe yelled together with the group of children, and ran to the south to get a better look.

The group of children followed behind them, chattering and chattering.There were children who shared candy, and they also shared one for each of them.

They both squeezed the fruit-flavored candy and laughed.

The laughter and innocence of the New Year finally fell on the person who wanted it.

The fireworks in the sky are clustered one after another, more and more people start to set off, and the shining lights rise and fall on the corners of this small place.

Surrounded by the roar of fireworks and the laughter of children.

Li Xiluo whispered something next to Li Qinghe's right ear.

Li Qinghe looked at him fixedly.

Li Xiluo looked at him and smiled, "Qinghe, Happy New Year."

Happy New Year, Qinghe.

Li Qinghe looked at Li Xiluo's crooked eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth, showing his small canine teeth, "Happy New Year."

Li Qinghe turned his head to look at the fireworks in the sky, and Li Xiluo looked at his ears, feeling pain in his heart.

He did make a rough guess before.

But never made him as sure as today.

Li Qinghe seemed to be deaf in his right ear.

He didn't notice it when he first came into contact with him before, but sometimes when Li Qinghe was writing the questions seriously, if he wasn't by his side, or if he spoke in a low voice, Li Qinghe didn't respond.

In the beginning, Li Xiluo only thought that he was studying deeply and was not distracted. Later, when he said something and Li Qinghe didn't respond, he would see Li Qinghe looking at him, staring at his lips, his eyes full of panic.

He would say it again, word for word.

Then he would see the relief and ease in Li Qinghe's eyes.

He took Li Qinghe to the south, lit fairy sticks and handed them to him one by one.The fairy wand ignited all the way, and danced all the way to light and light.

They stood in a small open space, behind them was a trembling broken building, showing mottled cracks under the moonlight and fireworks.

Standing here, you can see all the fireworks clearly.

Li Qinghe looked at the fireworks flying into the sky from the gaps in the sheltered buildings. They bloomed in the sky, leaving all their splendor in the night sky, burning and cooling in the night sky.At last it fell, coldly, and disappeared into the smoke.But Li Qinghe felt that they were clearly warm, hot, burning and exploding in his heart, making people feel hot when they are warm.

He was looking up, when suddenly something was stuffed in his hand.

It's a red envelope.

"Qinghe, Happy New Year."

Li Qinghe stared blankly at the red envelope in his hand, then looked up at Li Xiluo.

Li Xiluo just laughed.

"Go home and dismantle."

"Ah."

Li Qinghe looked into Li Xiluo's eyes, it was like an ocean was filled inside, the waves turned over, and everything he had would drown in it.

Li Qinghe went back to the auto repair shop, holding the fairy stick that Li Xiluo gave him in his left hand, and the red envelope that Li Xiluo gave him in his right pocket.

He opened the iron door, his brother was still asleep.

"came back?"

"Ah."

The ending tune is a joy that he can't hear.

"Go out crazy for a while so happy?"

Li Qinghe was startled.

"The corners of your mouth never come down."

"Ah, happy."

"Go to bed early, bastard."

Wu Guang took a red envelope from the table and gave it to Li Qinghe.

"Thank you bro!"

Li Qinghe smiled even more happily.

Li Qinghe sat on the bed in the cubicle after washing, with two red envelopes and a bundle of fairy sticks in front of him.

His brother didn't seal it, and the front of the red envelope still had last year's pattern.

six hundred.

Every year is different.

This year is the sixth year.

Li Qinghe smiled, sent a voice message to his brother, and sent another good night.

He gently unwrapped the one given by Li Xiluo.

Just look at it, and you will be happy.

The red envelopes were really thick, ranging from [-] to [-] cents, and none of them were missing. It was estimated that they could not find a dime of banknotes. Li Qing and Shaking red envelopes even rolled out two [-]-cent steel coins.

In addition, there is half a sheet of paper.

Half a sheet of tinfoil cigarette paper.

There are two sentences written on it:

Qinghe, happy new year.

I wish you peace and success, and all the best.

Nice two lines.

The pen is sharp, yet with a touch of softness.

Li Qinghe touched the back of the paper with his hands, but his strength still penetrated the back of the paper.He felt it with his fingertips, as if the bumps on the back had blessed him again and again, melting into his blood through the lines on his fingertips.

happy New Year.

Brother Luo.

The author has something to say: happy.

I hope you will always be happy.

Thanks for liking.

bow!

Happy viewing.
