Rebirth of the Unworthy

Li Rongxiu and his grandfather soaked in the same spring for about half an hour. Seeing that the two "old men" had nothing to talk about, they got up and went out.Before going ashore, he still did not forget to ask: "Although soaking in hot springs is good, it should not be too long, so as not to cause dizziness and fatigue. Especially grandpa has high blood pressure, so it should not be soaking for a long time."

Hearing this, Grandpa Li smiled and said, "You're right, I should also go up and take a walk and take a rest."

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to go ashore too.

Li Rongxiu was still thinking about Shen Yujun who was soaking in another soup spring, and seeing that Father Li had helped Grandpa Li up, he turned and left.

Turning around the flowing water rockery, I saw Shen Yujun and Li Rongjia chatting happily in Tangquan, but Uncle Li and Brother Li were nowhere to be seen.Li Rongxiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are my uncle and my elder brother?"

Li Rongjia smiled and rushed ahead of Shen Yujun and said: "The two of them soaked for a while, only saying that they couldn't breathe, so they went up again. Probably resting in the small flower hall."

Li Rongxiu nodded, and said casually: "That's just right, grandpa and my dad have also passed by."

With that said, he jumped off the Tangquan.The flying water splashed Li Rongjia and Shen Yujun's heads and faces, and Li Rongjia touched his face and said: "I knew you were not doing good things, but I forgot to hide."

While speaking, he was still muttering to himself.Just now Li Rongyu hinted to him vaguely, let him pester Shen Yujun from time to time, don't let him and Li Rongxiu be alone.At this moment, the two of them left, and only I was left. Did he hide or stay here?

Li Rongxiu didn't notice Li Rongjia's entangled thoughts, turned his head and asked Shen Yujun, "How do you soak in this hot spring?"

"It's okay." Shen Yujun replied briefly, and then handed the iced juice on the small bamboo raft to Li Rongxiu, but it was a pity that it had become warm after soaking in the water for so long.Li Rongxiu, who was thirsty at first, only took a sip, but felt that the taste was not very good, so he put it down again.

Turning around and going to the shore to ring the bell, a servant guarding outside came in for a while, Li Rongxiu pointed to the small bamboo raft floating on the water and said: "Change some iced fruit and juice, take this away. Warm and soft , who likes to eat."

Li Rongjia lay on the side and asked: "I'm a little hungry when you say that, is there anything to eat?"

The servant who served immediately replied: "There are all kinds of self-service snacks prepared in the small flower hall. Do you want to eat here or go there?"

Who would eat snacks in the hot spring soup, Li Rongjia shook his head, turned around and asked, "I'm going to eat something, are you going?"

As long as the food is not unpalatable, Li Rongxiu will never refuse anyone who comes to eat.But just as he was about to agree, Shen Yujun behind him said calmly: "Go first, I'll soak for a while."

Hearing this, Li Rongxiu felt that he was the host, so he couldn't go to dinner without the guests, because he said: "I'm also waiting for a while, you go first."

When Li Rongjia heard this, he had no choice but to climb up and leave by himself.

Seeing that the scheme had succeeded, Shen Yujun's smile became deeper and brighter.

Li Rongxiu turned around and caught sight of it, and said with a smile, "It's better to smile more."

Shen Yujun continued to maintain the smile on his face, and suddenly asked: "Is the movie you made coming out soon?"

Li Rongxiu thought for a while and said, "It should be about the same. It seems to be the premiere on the 24th. I'll ask my second brother later."

Shen Yujun smiled and said, "Let's go to the movies when we have time. I haven't seen your movie yet."

Li Rongxiu laughed when he heard this, and said, "I haven't seen it either."

Shen Yujun looked at Li Rongxiu quietly. His complexion was originally fair, but now he was hot from the hot spring, and his whole body looked pink and tender.But he is so pretty with a smile, just like the peach blossoms in full bloom outside——

Isn't it my peach blossom!Thinking of this, Shen Yujun suddenly raised the corners of his mouth again.Seeing this, Li Rongxiu couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?"

"I've never had such a New Year's experience, I'm very happy." Shen Yujun has always known how to touch the softest part of others' hearts.Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Li Rongxiu's expression immediately became cautious.Looking at Shen Yujun, he said, "My family is very nice. If you want, you can come back to my house during the Chinese New Year."

When Shen Yujun heard this, his mood became better.He tilted his head, and smiled at Li Rongxiu with his lips pursed. The deliberate smile made his whole brows and eyes more tender. Li Rongxiu is a visual animal. When he saw Shen Yujun like this, his heart beat faster and his mouth became dry.

Li Rongxiu subconsciously drank a glass of iced grape juice that had just been delivered, touched his heart and said, "It seems to be soaked for a long time, and my heart beats a little faster, why don't we go out."

Shen Yujun laughed dumbfounded, and said, "It's rare to come here once, I want to talk to you. There are other people outside, so it's inconvenient—how about we sit on the mountain stone to cool off?"

Li Rongxiu immediately remembered what Shen Yujun said to him yesterday, and nodded.The two sat side by side on the mountain stone, Li Rongxiu asked: "Yesterday you said you found something, what exactly is it?"

The atmosphere between the two was just right, and Shen Yujun didn't want to say such bad things at first.But he wanted to procrastinate the time alone with Li Rongxiu, so he could only take these things and say: "Last time I heard Rong Hao say that the reason why your third uncle and third aunt coveted Meihua was instigated by others. I'll let someone investigate It turns out that someone is playing tricks behind your back."

Without waiting for Shen Yujun to finish speaking, Li Rongxiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't want to tell me that Chi Junrui is behind the scenes, do you?"

It's no wonder that Li Rongxiu can think of him when he encounters any bad things. It's really that this kid doesn't behave properly, and he has already registered with the Li family.What's more, Grandpa Li was angry with Chi Junrui for ruining Li Rongyu's reputation to promote his own film. He personally taught him a lesson, which led to the severe trial and execution of the first film invested by Chi's Film Industry.Although the tone of the above was not so harsh, and Mrs. Rong Chi changed the reshoots according to the review standards, but the time lost and the money for the reshoots could not be made up for.

Therefore, in order to get revenge on the Li family, Chi Junrui instigated his third uncle and three aunts to make things difficult for them, which can be regarded as a "motive for committing the crime".

Listening to Li Rongxiu's eloquent talk, Shen Yujun shook his head and said with a smile, "You really wronged him this time. It wasn't Chi Junrui who made the move - for making a movie, he himself was still involved in a lawsuit. There is still time to embarrass you. There are some people who have lived comfortably for a long time and feel too leisurely, so they look for things when they have nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, she didn't pretend to be a joke: "Sun Minqiu is behind the instigation to instigate your uncle and aunt. Her purpose is also very simple. She said that she wants to vent her anger for her daughter and doesn't want you to live too proudly."

"Is she sick?" Li Rongxiu felt angry when he heard this, and blurted out: "What kind of mentality does this family have? I did something that I was sorry for others. Instead of reflecting on it, I rely on it. That. In my previous life, I only fell in love with such a person when my head was caught by the door. Looking at it now, my eyesight is really lame."

Shen Yujun looked at Li Rongxiu's indiscretion in anger, stretched out his hand and patted Li Rongxiu's shoulder, and comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Since we know she did it, let's take revenge. Why bother to be angry with yourself. In this life, who doesn't Loved two scumbags."

While talking, he secretly admired Li Rongxiu's soft and smooth skin, which feels like high-quality Wen Yu, which makes people reluctant to let go.

Shen Yujun really didn't let go, just like the original movement, he simply stretched out his arms to wrap around Li Rongxiu's shoulders, and leaned his whole body against it, the two of them skin to skin, shoulders to shoulders.Li Rongxiu only felt a fiery body slowly leaning towards him, and the moment his skin touched, it was as if a slight electric current flowed through him, making him feel hot and impatient.

He moved his body uncomfortably, avoiding Shen Yujun's chest, and said, "It's already very hot, but you put it on, and it's even hotter."

Shen Yujun smiled slightly, seeing Li Rongxiu's uneasy look, he didn't force himself to lean on him.The big hand moved along the curvature of the shoulder to Li Rongxiu's neck, and rubbed it with just the right strength.He smiled in his mouth and said: "I am giving you a loving embrace to comfort and comfort you. You don't say that you are grateful for your body, but you also dislike my body heat. You are too unkind."

Li Rongxiu squinted his eyes, feeling Shen Yujun's callused big hands rubbing and pressing on his neck, and felt that the strength was much more comfortable than when he was doing a massage outside.He was already exhausted after soaking in the hot springs. Now that someone is giving him a massage, Li Rongxiu happily pointed out: "A little bit higher...a little bit to the side...a little bit to the left...a little bit, apply so much strength What are you doing!"

Seeing that he was enjoying being pinched, Shen Yujun simply turned around and faced Li Rongxiu's back, using both big hands to massage seriously.The kneaded Li Rongxiu is very comfortable, and he can do it himself, blatantly taking advantage of it, it can be said to be a win-win situation.

While speaking, the cool big hand has slowly approached Li Rongxiu's waist.I didn't have time to knead hard, but my fingertips just slid over the position of the tailbone, I saw Li Rongxiu trembling suddenly like an electric shock, slapping Shen Yujun away with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Don't touch my waist, I will Ticklish."

Shen Yujun raised his head, and at a glance, he saw Li Rongxiu's itchy eyes sparkling and getting more moist.His cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know whether he was pressed or soaked. When he grinned, he revealed two snow-white teeth and the soft pink flesh in his mouth. His lips were also bright red, and they opened softly. And shiny.

Shen Yujun's mouth was suddenly parched, he hurriedly turned his face away and drank a large glass of iced grape juice on the pretext of being thirsty.Li Rongxiu sat on the spot and stretched contentedly, patted Shen Yujun on the shoulder and said, "The craftsmanship is great, thank you. Do you want me to press it for you?"

Just as Shen Yujun was about to say yes, his eyes touched the corridor outside, and he suddenly changed his mouth and said, "You? Can you press it? Don't treat me like dough."

Li Rongxiu smiled and said, "The most important thing is your heart." Then Shen Yujun turned over, stretched out his hand to Li Rongxiu and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go to the little flower hall to have something to eat. By the way, cool off."

Li Rongxiu nodded, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Yujun's palm to stand up.The two of them went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then walked out slowly wrapped in bathrobes.

Everyone in the second room of the big house of the Li family had already gathered in the small flower hall. Seeing that Li Rongxiu and Shen Yujun had arrived late, Li Rongjia took the lead and said, "The two of you are really able to dawdle for such a long time. It's already twelve o'clock."

"It's all like this?" Li Rongxiu was taken aback. He didn't expect that he and Shen Yujun stayed in the hot spring for more than two hours. It was already hot inside, and Shen Yujun massaged himself again...

Thinking of this, Li Rongxiu asked apologetically, "Are you okay, do you feel unwell?"

Shen Yujun shook his head, and said, "I'm in good health. But you, when you came out, your feet were so weak that you couldn't walk."

As he said, he picked up some snacks that were neither salty nor greasy according to Li Rongxiu's taste, and handed them over, "Let's eat something to replenish our strength."

Li Rongxiu thanked him, reached out to take the plate and the small fork, put a piece in Shen Yujun's mouth, and said, "You can eat some too."

Shen Yujun originally didn't like to eat snacks, nor did he like to eat dim sum.Seeing what Li Rongxiu said, he inserted another piece of snack with a small fork and brought it to his mouth. Shen Yujun thought for a while, then lowered his head and followed Li Rongxiu's movements, and ate the snack in one bite.

After chewing and savoring it carefully, he felt that the glutinous and sweet snacks that he usually hates the most are not so unbearable to eat.It was fragrant and soft, reminding him of Li Rongxiu soaking in the hot spring.

Because Li Rongxiu usually had such a sticky demeanor, everyone in the Li family didn't find it strange to see him.Only Uncle Li's family and Li Rongyu looked over silently... one glance after another.

Shen Yujun wanted to raise his tail and feel complacent, but seeing the silent behavior of an elder and brother-in-law, he tried his best to restrain himself.The revolution has not yet succeeded, and we still need to be low-key and cautious.

For a while, everyone had lunch at Zhuangzi again—because the rice, soup, and steamed fish were all served with peach blossoms as toppings, so the people in the second room called it the Peach Blossom Banquet.

The artistic conception is beautiful, but it's a pity that most of the men in the Li family don't have the guts of those romantics.Anyway, after Li Rongxiu finished eating, he only secretly felt that it was strange to ask——

Among the dishes made by flowers and plants, the only thing Li Rongxiu can accept is the daylily when eating hot pot.

After Xin Ran's meal, everyone spent another day at the hot spring village, and did not return to the ancestral home until the next morning.

It is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. According to the rules handed down from the ancestors, on this day, blessing characters, couplets, and lanterns will be hung.According to the rules of the Li family, apart from hanging lanterns, such things as posting couplets with the word "Fu" cannot be done to servants.So the two old men from the first and second rooms of the Li family dipped their brushes and wrote a dozen or so new couplets and several hundred sheets of blessings, which were posted by Li Rongyu, Li Rongxiu, Li Rongjia, Li Ronghao and other men of the Li family's generation. go up.

Shen Yujun volunteered to be in a group with Li Rongxiu, and when Li Rongxiu climbed up the ladder, he supported him from below.When the servants who were helping at the side saw it, they all smiled and said, "Student Shen is so nice to our young master."

Shen Yujun smiled slightly, and the dazzling smile dazzled several female servants, all of whom secretly glanced shyly.

Li Rongxiu stood on the ladder and glued the couplets with paste, then turned his head and asked, "Is it correct?"

Shen Yujun raised his head, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Very upright."

Li Rongxiu asked Shen Yujun to pass the couplet to him, and pasted it according to the horizontal line, and asked again, "How is it?"

Shen Yujun looked at it, and replied: "The one on the right is lifted up, it's a bit lower."

Li Rongxiu moved his hands up slowly, until Shen Yujun agreed, and then he felt the paste sticking together.

When Shen Yujun helped him off the ladder with sticky hands, Shen Yujun said, "Your family has a great atmosphere during the Chinese New Year. I've never seen someone write a couplet by themselves during the Chinese New Year."

Generally, those from small families bought and pasted them years ago, and those with higher family status asked calligraphy masters to write them to show their nobleness.This is the case with the Shen family.

Li Rongxiu probably understood Shen Yujun's words, and said with a smile: "The rules passed down by our ancestors, during the Chinese New Year, there are some things that must be discussed by our family members in order to appear friendly and harmonious-this is not a big deal, wait until the evening of the New Year's Eve For the New Year’s Eve dinner, we had to cook and make dumplings by ourselves. That’s when it was so lively.”

The older ones cook in a serious manner, while the younger ones behave well at first, but after a while they start to play around.Li Rongxiu remembered that when he was young, he fought with several cousins ​​more than once because of making dumplings.Flour and dough were flying all over the sky, and the angry second grandfather leaned on crutches and yelled at him for ruining things.

Listening to Li Rongxiu's description, Shen Yujun unconsciously yearned for it.

He thinks that the Li family's family rules are very good, and it looks like a family celebrating the New Year together.

In the blink of an eye, it is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.Get up early in the morning, and everyone starts to get busy.Those who play mahjong play mahjong, those who play poker play poker, and those who play games play games. There is a lot of excitement everywhere, until the evening.

On the TV, CCTV began to broadcast the Spring Festival Gala, and the opening episode was still a set of lively and lively large-scale singing and dancing.The people in the Li family removed the mahjong table, washed their hands, and set up several tables around the TV. dumplings.

Seeing this, Shen Yujun asked in a low voice, "Why did you start wrapping it up so early?"

Li Rongxiu quietly replied: "Because everyone is not very skilled at the handle."

Shen Yujun was stunned, and looked over one by one. Except for Mo Wanrou and Wang Qiong, two elderly grandmothers, and Zhuang Meiru, Zhao Yuan, He Fengyi, and Li Bingyue's aunts, everyone's actions were very strange.

Li Rongxiu, who has always claimed to be a foodie, was the worst. He took a bamboo drawer and placed the dumplings made by everyone on the bamboo drawer. Seeing Shen Yujun's suspicious gaze, he explained: "My task is to put the dumplings on the bamboo drawer. The dumplings they made were laid out and brought to the kitchen to wait for cooking."

Shen Yujun's face darkened, and he almost laughed out loud.

Zhuang Meiru saw Shen Yujun's uncontrollable smile, and said with a smile, "Can Yujun make dumplings?"

Shen Yujun nodded, and said obediently on purpose: "When my mother was still there, she taught me."

Hearing this, Zhuang Meiru immediately sympathized with Shen Yujun's experience.Immediately said softly: "Since you know how to make a bag, let's make it with us. On New Year's Eve, eating meals made by yourself is more delicious than usual."

Shen Yujun nodded, stood beside Li Rongxiu and started making dumplings.

Different from the jerky demeanor of the men in the Li family, Shen Yujun's movements are exceptionally proficient, kneading dough, rolling out skins, stuffing, all the movements are smooth and smooth, and the dumplings made are also full and crescent-shaped, small and exquisite, and look like very beautiful.

When Zhuang Meiru and other female relatives saw it, they boasted, "The craftsmanship is really good."

Shen Yujun inevitably showed off again: "I can also cook. Red wine drunk short ribs, crystal elbows, boiled fish, braised chicken nuggets, I can do it."

Most of what Shen Yujun picked were Li Rongxiu's favorite food.After hearing this, Li Rongxiu's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "You know how to do it? Then you can also make crystal elbows later. The crystal elbows made by my second aunt are too unpalatable." Shen Yujun heard the words, So I looked over with embarrassment.He had just heard from Li Rongxiu that the Li family's New Year's Eve dinner had to be made by the "Li family", so how could he steal Second Aunt's job?

But it's true that Zhao Yuan's cooking is unpalatable!

Even her own son, Li Rongjia, couldn't help but said: "If you can cook it, and it tastes delicious, you can show your skills, and my mother can cook other dishes - for example, a cucumber, a cold dish or something. "

Zhao Yuan glared at Li Rongjia indiscriminately.I didn't expect my son to tear him down.However, she also knew that her skills were limited, so she immediately smiled and said, "I know you all don't like my cooking, and hate me for wasting ingredients. You said it as if I would like to cook."

The fact is also true, these young ladies who don't stick to the sun, have never been in the kitchen a few times since they were young.It would be nice if the cooked dishes are not satisfactory, but how delicious are you thinking?Go dreaming.

Not only is she like this, even Zhuang Meiru, He Fengyi and others' dishes are of average taste, at best they are not unpalatable.

The grandpa and grandpa at the table noticed the commotion here, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter with you, why are you still bickering? Be kind on New Year's Eve."

When Zhao Yuan asked, she uttered the words just now. Mo Wanrou pondered for a while, and then said: "Since we can spend the New Year together, it is a kind of fate. If Student Shen doesn't care, you can Can make two dishes. But don't get tired."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yujun responded with a smile, "Thank you grandma."

After a pause, he said again: "Grandma can just call me Yujun. Xiuxiu and I are classmates and your juniors."

Before saying a word, Uncle Li and Li Rongyu looked over with half-smiles.Shen Yujun didn't take it seriously because of his thick skin.

On the other hand, Li Rongxiu was at the side, and said foolishly: "Yes, grandma, you always call classmate Shen, classmate Shen, it's really outlandish. Shen Yujun feels uncomfortable now."

Li Bingru and Li Rongyu groaned in their hearts at the same time, thinking: "He can still feel uncomfortable, he must be very happy."

In any case, Shen Yujun's plan to get familiar with himself finally succeeded.

After making the dumplings, everyone sent the wrapped dumplings to the kitchen.Bursts of firecrackers began to sound outside, and bursts of fireworks began to bloom in the sky, illuminating the dark night sky as if it were day.There was a commotion outside.

Li Ronghao smiled and said, "Shall we go out to set off fireworks too?"
