Cannon Fodder's Rebirth

Jiang Ma also praised Zhong Yifan for his foresight, adding a large pot of lucky bamboos to the balcony during the Chinese New Year, immediately making the small family glow with vitality.

The key is whether the name is good or the meaning is good. "Flowers bloom riches and honor, and bamboo repays safety", after Jiang's father's accident last year, Jiang's mother really valued the word "safety", and Zhong Yifan's pot of rich and precious bamboo was sent to her heart.

Zhong Yifan went in and out of Jiang's house so many times that the neighbors all thought that Jiang's family had given birth to two sons behind their backs.

On New Year's Eve 29, Zhong Yifan and Jiang Xi accompanied Jiang's mother to shop for the last New Year's shopping. When they met the upstairs neighbors, they greeted Jiang's mother.Jiang Ma was about to explain with a smile, but Zhong Yifan called out to her mother first.

This cry made Jiang's mother burst into tears in an instant.

Jiang's mother was supposed to have two sons. If it wasn't for family planning, Jiang Xi should have a younger brother who is twenty months younger than herself.When the labor was induced that year, the doctors in the mining area were familiar with each other, saying that they could already tell that it was a boy.Jiang's mother cried for a long time because of this, not because she was patriarchal, but just because she felt that the little life that came to her home was killed just like that, and she felt uncomfortable.

It's common for people to cling to high branches and recognize their godmothers as fathers. It's really special that a godson like Jiang's father and mother who can only meet the conditions of food and clothing can receive Zhong Yifan's conditions.

On the night of New Year's Eve, twelve dishes of six meat and six vegetables were prepared according to the rules of my hometown, which symbolized twelve months in a year, and half meat and half vegetables meant that life was bittersweet.Chicken and fish are a must. Chicken is a homonym for "auspicious", and fish means "more than".

After sitting down around the reunion dinner, Zhong Yifan officially changed his mind, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were upgraded from uncle and aunt to godfather and godmother.

The godfather and godmother took out a red envelope, not lucky money, but money for the godson.Although it is a rich godson who recognizes a poor godparent, according to the rules, the parents can't be called for nothing. The Jiang family certainly can't give their godsons like rich people in luxury houses and sports cars. Red envelopes are like that symbolic meaning.

The two red envelopes of 880 and 660 were so small that they couldn't afford them, just to give the godson a good fortune according to the old Chinese habit.This Zhong Yifan didn't refuse, with this level of relationship, he would have the opportunity to pay back money matters in the future.

Jiang Ma raised a drink to clink glasses with the white wine of the three of them, and said a lot of auspicious words for the New Year.She had such a good godson for no reason, not only her, but even Jiang's dad, who was always quiet, made an exception and said a few more words.

Under the table, Zhong Yifan shook Jiang Xi's hand, the two looked at each other tacitly, and smiled knowingly.

"Xiaoxi, don't call Yifan Yifan from now on, call brother more kindly." Jiang Ma herself also called Yifan from "Xiao Zhong" and "Xiao Cheng".

"Brother?" This Jiang Xi really didn't think about it.Although it is true that Zhong Yifan is three years older than him, but he always unconsciously adds together the age of 27 in his previous life and the year after his rebirth, so he really lost the perception that he is younger than the other party.

"Good boy!" Zhong Yifan seemed to be enjoying his interrogative "Brother", his eyes narrowed with a smile, probably if Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were not there, he could directly rub his hair.

The New Year's atmosphere, which has been absent for many years, is back...

Zhong Yifan remembered that it was the same way when he was young, his mother had to prepare things for the New Year a few days ago.Frozen pears, frozen persimmons, ice cream with little snowman's head, these don't need a refrigerator at all, just buy them and hang them outside the house. The temperature of minus [-] to [-] degrees is a natural large refrigerator.If there are children in the family, they usually fry some twists, chops, meatballs and the like.When I grow up, I can help my mother, and the tiger is jumping up and down to make trouble, and he will be the first to taste whatever goes wrong, risking his tongue being burned, and his mother will always let him go while he is busy. Stay away from hot oil pans.

Thinking about it now, everything is so clear and so blurred.

Although the Jiang family has been in City B for several years, they still maintain the habit of eating dumplings at twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve in their hometown.Dumplings are homophonic for "Jiaozi", and the years change, and when they are handed over, eating this dumpling will be considered as the handover of the new year from the old.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family started to watch the Spring Festival Gala together while making dumplings for the twelve o'clock and the morning of the first day of the new year.

According to the old rules, the dumpling should be wrapped separately with a hidden coin, and the person who eats it indicates that there will be a lot of money in the coming year, but the coin is too unhygienic after all, and now few people really pack money in it, and the Jiang family also likes it. Use some nuts or something instead.Although Jiang's father's hands are not as dexterous as before the injury, there is no serious problem, so Jiang's mother ordered him to peel a few nuts.

Jiang's father peeled almonds and pistachios while watching Huang Hong and Niu Li's skit "Food Treatment", and he peeled too many without paying attention.

"Hey! Are you going to eat nut stuffing tonight?" Jiang Ma leaned over and took the small bowl in front of Jiang's father, laughing and joking. "When I was young, every New Year's Eve, Grandma Xiaoxi said that she liked daughters. When she made dumplings on New Year's Eve, she had to wrap some lace ones to attract her. As a result, Xiaoxi and his family were the only boys in my natal family's life."

"Then my grandpa must think it's too tempting." Jiang Xi said as he put down a wrapped dumpling.

"Isn't it? Your grandfather was patriarchal when he was alive!"

Chatting while packing, the family talked and laughed, so lively.

In fact, the New Year's Eve dinner was only eaten at eight o'clock, and there was nothing to eat at twelve o'clock, but everyone ate two or three symbolically, which was considered to have completed the New Year's ceremony.Unlike young people who can endure it, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are used to going to bed early and getting up early. After eating dumplings and digesting for a while, they went to bed first.

Jiang's house is not in the Fifth Ring Road, and there are not so strict restrictions on setting off fireworks here, so the sound of ping-pong-pong has never stopped since it got dark.

After their parents fell asleep, Jiang Xi and Zhong Yifan also washed up and went to bed, but I don't know if it was because it was so late outside and the intermittent sound of firecrackers and fireworks disturbed their sleep, or because they were too excited, in short, neither of them could fall asleep.

The quilt prepared for Zhong Yifan was put by Jiang Ma on the balcony to dry, and it was soft with the clean smell of laundry.But at this moment, the quilt was placed alone on the chair beside the bed, next to Jiang Xi's newly added notebook on the table, Zhong Yifan had already squeezed into Jiang Xi's quilt.

Although they were in the same bed, both of them were busy with their mobile phones. Since it was just around twelve o'clock, the text messages of New Year's greetings have not been interrupted.

"Are you making trouble? I won't be able to get back here." The volume of text messages surged on New Year's Eve, and the carrier's network also encountered heavy traffic jams. The message sent at twelve o'clock was delayed until now.Jiang Xi was busy returning, when he received a message from Zhong Yifan on his mobile phone, thinking it was a happy new year or something, before clicking on it, he gave the people around him a sideways glance.

"Don't regret it if you don't read it!"

Seeing that he spoke mysteriously, Jiang Xi clicked on the message.

What Zhong Yifan sent was the second half of the western wedding vows: Own each other, support each other, love and cherish each other no matter good or bad, rich or poor, sick or healthy, until death can separate us.

After reading a few lines of words over and over again, Jiang Xi raised his head and met Zhong Yifan's gaze.

He took out a box from under the pillow behind him, and opened it to find a ring on a platinum chain.

Holding the simple ring, Zhong Yifan moved closer to let Jiang Xi see the "F" engraved on the inside of the ring.

"Would you like to wear 'I' on your body?" This "I" must be a symbolic statement.Pulling out the same chain from the neckline of his pajamas, Jiangxi showed the ring that was exactly the same as the one in his hand. The first letter "X" of Jiangxi's "Xi" was engraved inside that ring.

In fact, when ordering the rings, Zhong Yifan just wanted to engrave the capital letters of each other's names on the couple's pair of rings, but when it was finally confirmed, he suddenly asked to change to engraving each other's letters.It's not that I deliberately want to play any romance, it's probably because I care too much about the feeling of having each other.

Seeing Zhong Yifan put the ring on his neck with his own hands, Jiang Xi knew that it was out of his care, afraid that his parents would notice it.But no matter where you wear it, the meaning of the ring will not change, and this is the most important thing.

Leaning forward to kiss, it was a very complicated kiss mixed with emotion, but before they burned each other, the two tacitly let the kiss stop.This was a tacit understanding between them that they had never voluntarily said but had reached a consensus, that is, they would never make it to the end at the Jiang family.

The mobile phone that was thrown aside was unwilling to be lonely again, and it had developed from a text message notification to a phone ring tone. Zhong Yifan picked it up and took a look, and it turned out that it was Tong Le calling.

Without thinking too much, Zhong Yifan answered the phone quite naturally.Jiang Xi was right next to him, and he could hear some of Tong Le's voice.

As usual, it was a Happy New Year greeting, and Zhong Yifan replied politely, but Tong Le never hung up the phone because he was chattering, and Zhong Yifan felt that something was wrong.

Jiang Xi also felt that something was wrong. This must be attributed to the deep memory of his previous life. To him, Tong Le's sense of existence is really stronger than Tong Huan's.

"Now?" Zhong Yifan suddenly showed some surprised expressions on the phone, causing Jiang Xi to look sideways.

"Well, I'll take a taxi there now." Tong Le confirmed that it was now, New Year's Eve.

"Is there something so urgent?"

"No, I just want to celebrate the New Year with you." Tong Le was really straightforward.

What Zhong Yifan felt was wrong was finally verified, as if he wanted to keep a certain distance, he held the phone a little away from his ear: "Then there is no need, I am not at home, and more importantly, there are already people around me accompanied."

"Is it... Jiangxi?"

"Yes." Resolutely affirmed, Zhong Yifan shook the hands of the people around him, blinked his eyes, and looked a little innocent. "We are going to rest, you should go to bed early too, then let's do this first, hang up."

Zhong Yifan hung up the phone and deleted Tong Le's number from the phone.After changing the number, the numbers left in the phone are all brothers and friends, including Tong Huan's number, which was not stored again.Before, he regarded Tong Le as the younger brother of Cheng Zhiyuan's old classmate from more than three years ago, but it seems that he will not in the future.

"Are you relieved now?" Seeing that Jiang Xi had been paying attention to his actions, Zhong Yifan raised the phone under the other's eyelids for him to check after deleting.

After taking the mobile phone and shutting down his own, Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Have I shown that I have no confidence in you?"

Jiang Xi is not worried, because Zhong Yifan in his previous life knew the attitude of turning a blind eye to the temptations around him, and knew that what he needs is not a duckweed-like bed partner, but a lover who can live a full life in a down-to-earth manner.

Closing his gaze, Zhong Yifan's lowered eyes fell on his fingertips, and an unbearable smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "After all, I have a criminal record."

Some people are actually not born to be depraved like others, and Zhong Yifan is undoubtedly that kind of person. If it wasn't for this mentality, Tong Huan would not have been so touched by Tong Huan after his accident in his previous life.

Stretching out his hand to hold his own fingertips that were being stared at by Zhong Yifan, Jiang Xi grabbed it and put it to his mouth, biting hard.

"You have been punished for your previous convictions. Don't mention those things in the future. New year and new weather, I will be with you. From now on, we will only look at the future, the future of the two of us!"

Rubbing Jiang Xi's head with the bitten hand, Zhong Yifan took him into his arms: "Sometimes I really think you are incredible, what should you call it? Young and mature?"

"Maybe my heart is an uncle in his 30s!"

"It doesn't matter if you're an uncle, a gentleman, an old man, or a naive one, in short, God made me meet you like this, and all my regrets will be made up for." Zhong Yifan lowered his head and waved his finger at Jiangxi: "Warning you Don't look at me with such provocative eyes, you won't be able to bear it..."
