Wearing back ancient buns

It was already dark after the consultation, the Wang family repeatedly invited Su Huai to stay and watch the new year, but Su Huai still insisted on going home.

"Xiaoyuan is still at home watching the stove waiting for me." After saying such a sentence, Su Huai felt a little warmth in his heart. Since he came to Shihe Village, this seemed to be the first time that he didn't need to be alone on New Year's Eve ...

With such a mood in mind, the pace of returning home was also quickened a lot. Seeing that at the entrance of the alley, Su Huai was stopped by a man in gray clothes with low eyebrows.

"What are you doing here?" The deep voice echoed in the alley, and the aftertaste was also tinged with unkindness.The sky became darker and darker, just like Su Huai's gloomy face at this time.

When Su Huai came back, he seemed to be in a bad mood, and Lu Yuan, who was holding the forceps as a weapon, was also a little bit discouraged by his appearance of not getting close to strangers.

After taking a few breaths, Lu Yuan stepped forward:

"Hmm... Brother Su, are you... okay?"

Pooh!Lu Yuan, you are really cowardly!Didn't you come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime? What is this kind of asking for warmth?

Su Huai glanced over, and the fierce look in his eyes immediately suppressed all of Lu Yuan's arrogance: "I'll cook, just wait here." After speaking, he went straight to the kitchen with a sullen head, knowing not to take his anger out on others.

It seems that today is not a good time to raise a teacher to question his guilt, anyway, let him go for a while because of the New Year's Eve!

Lu Yuan pouted, put the forceps back into the room, and then went to the kitchen, saw Su Huai take out steamed buns from the steamer, and then stared at a cage in a daze.

"What is this?" Su Huai frowned as he picked up a steamed bun stuffed with bean paste.It was a little hedgehog, probably because it was not wrapped properly, and the black bean paste leaked out from the steamed bun skin, making the white skin dirty.And the hedgehog's quills didn't stand up for some reason, but limply stuck to his body, as if covered with leprosy.

Lu Yuan suddenly didn't want to admit that he made that thing, coughed dryly, and said persuasively, "Well... don't you think he looks... quite like a hedgehog?"

"..." After staring at the dirty steamed bun for a long time, he seemed to be able to see a flower. Su Huai was in a daze when the hedgehog in his hand was snatched away by Lu Yuan.

"Forget it if you don't eat! Why are you acting sarcastic!" Lu Yuan snorted, and took a hard bite of the steamed bun.

I have to say... and... it's really unpalatable.

"Then what is this?" As soon as Su Huai stopped, Lu Yuan failed to snatch the cage, Su Huai picked up the little rabbit again, took a bite, and said vaguely: "A mouse?"

"Cough..." Choking on the steamed bun, Lu Yuan's face turned black, and he went to continue grabbing the cage. Su Huai stuffed the whole bun into his mouth, freed his hand to grab Lu Yuan's wrist, and then put the cage in again. On the other hand, he freed his hand to touch Lu Yuan's face directly.

"You..." Lu Yuan was shocked, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't hold the steamed bun in his mouth. Su Huai pushed it with his hand, and half of the steamed bun was stuffed into Lu Yuan's mouth.

"Don't waste food!"

"Um..."

"It's so dirty!" Su Huai wiped the bean paste off Lu Yuan's face with his hands, and then wiped his lips full of steamed buns.

"Hmm..." Lu Yuan's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether he was choking or angry.But Su Huai's face in sight seemed not as stiff as before.

When Lu Yuan managed to swallow the steamed buns, Su Huai's side had already started making dumplings. The filling was sauerkraut and pork, which looked crystal clear and had a fresh sour smell.Lu Yuan was embarrassed to watch, so he also went to help. He can't do anything else, but he still knows how to make dumplings. One of them rolls the skin and the other makes a bag, and the match is harmonious.

When the bag was almost finished, Su Huai left a pile of skins to keep Lu Yuan busy and cook by himself.

The carp has bone spurs removed, but does not scrape the scales. It is cut open and laid flat. The head and tail of the carp are cut slightly and stand upright.Heat the oil in the pan, deep-fry the fish, and serve them golden.Then boil the sauce in a big pot, it has a strong sweet and sour taste, pour the sauce in the pot, the bright brown soup flows over the burnt carp, making a sizzling crisp sound, full of aroma, Lu Yuan stared blankly and couldn't help swallowing.

"Brother Su, what kind of fish is this!" After quickly wrapping the last crooked dumpling, Lu Yuan hurried over, and when he had the opportunity to help serve the plate, he smelled it again and again, the sour smell made his index finger twitch. It is the least resistant to sour things.This New Year's Eve dinner is fish in sour sauce and dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, which is just too much to his liking.Thinking about it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed flamboyantly.

"This is called 罾跳 carp. It's a famous dish in the restaurants in the town. It's just troublesome to cook. It's cheaper for you this Chinese New Year." Pushing the plate into Lu Yuan's hand, Su Huai turned around and boiled the water for dumplings. .

When Lu Yuan cleared the table and put the fish on, Su Huai picked up two long eggplants from the pickle jar in the yard and brought them in on a plate.The long eggplant is stuffed with minced coriander and garlic, sprinkled with salt on the outside and marinated in a jar. You can take it anytime you want. The eggplant is cool and has a scent of garlic, which is perfect for drinking.

He went out one last time, picked up dumplings, and took the brewed Tusu wine, and asked Lu Yuan to bring it into the house. After setting off firecrackers at the gate of the yard, Su Huai followed into the house.

The charcoal fire in the room was burning brightly, and the flickering candles reflected the warm yellow color of the room. Su Huai washed his hands, turned around and looked at Lu Yuan sitting cross-legged on the kang, staring at the hard-working meal waiting.

For some reason, Su Huai wanted to laugh at this moment.

The heated kang was warm, the aroma of wine and vegetables wafted into the nostrils, the beeping of the charcoal fire hit the ears, and the sound of firecrackers outside the house, Su Huai looked out from the wooden lattice window, faintly seeing the light of the sky dying.Turning his face away was Lu Yuan who was eating hard, the sour and crunchy dishes were obviously to his liking, and his furry head was facing him without lifting his face.

Tusu wine was poured into the pottery cup, and there was a smooth sound. Lu Yuan suddenly raised his eyes, curled his shiny mouth, and laughed loudly: "Brother Su, I want it too!"

Looking at the Tao Zhan pushed by Lu Yuan, Su Huai frowned: "This Tu Su wine is medicinal wine, it is used to drive away cold, get rid of diseases and evil spirits, so you should take a sip, please drink less." Lu Yuan still has lingering fears about Lu Yuan's drunken behavior.

"Medicinal wine?" Lu Yuan shook the wine glass, obviously dissatisfied with the little wine.

"You don't know about Tusu wine?" Su Huai was taken aback. Drinking Tusu wine during Chinese New Year is a custom, just like setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve. How could anyone not know?Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't look like he was lying, Su Huai frowned even tighter.

Lu Yuan's hand holding the wine glass froze slightly, and then realized that he seemed a little timid, and quickly lowered his head: "I...Although I have been here since I was a child, my hometown is not here, and I have never celebrated New Year here... I don't understand anything."

This body looks different from that of the villagers, and the hair color alone is very strange. Lu Yuan's statement is also reasonable.It's just that he has never celebrated the Chinese New Year. It sounds really pitiful. If he is an unaccompanied outsider, he is clumsy, thin-skinned and tender, and he has never suffered hardships. In addition, he is very handsome, he is still a criminal. A fugitive from adultery...

Su Huai's face darkened, and he couldn't help having some unpleasant associations. He drank half a glass of wine and said lightly, "The scars on your body have almost recovered. After the fifteenth day, I will send you to the town to find a job. .”

By the way, throw away this hot potato!

Su Huai still didn't say the latter sentence.

"Ah! Thank you, Big Brother Su! I'll pay you back quickly!" Lu Yuan didn't understand the mystery in his words at all, and only thought about going to the town to make money and pay off Su Huai, saying. Maybe I can save some money to buy a lamb to raise, and when the sheep produces milk, it will be sold to the newborn children in the village to drink. This is a big deal!

The more he thought about it, the smoother it became. Lu Yuan drank the Tusu wine with a smile, and his body warmed up as he drank it: "By the way! Brother Su! You made this wine yourself, right? The cooking is top-notch, and the wine making is also a good skill. Hehe, you want Don't say you are a doctor, I must think you are a cook!"

"..." Su Huai didn't answer this time, but just drank a few more glasses of wine silently.

After a full meal, Su Huai cleaned up the dishes and lit the red lanterns in the yard to watch the New Year.When he entered the room again, he found that Lu Yuan's face was ruddy, and he had fallen asleep on the kang.

Walking over, he faintly smelled the smell of alcohol in Lu Yuan's breath. He was hugging his coat, poking his mouth, and muttering drunken words: "A bamboo basket costs a penny...you can buy one for 150 pennies. Lamb...it's so difficult...hehe...you can make more money by working in the town...and then buy sheep..."

Meifeng twitched, Su Huai bent down and pushed Lu Yuan: "Get up and wipe your face before going back to sleep."

"Hmm..." Pushing Su Huai's hand away impatiently, Lu Yuan muttered, "Mom, don't bother me! Let me sleep for a while..."

When his movements froze, Su Huai's face darkened again: "Who is Mom?"

"Hmm... so annoying..." After rolling a few more times, Lu Yuan scratched his neck, and his collar was a bit messy: "I have to go to work tomorrow, and I have an operation... Mom, leave me alone!"

Su Huai's face was completely dark, and he looked down at Lu Yuan's exposed neck, and vaguely saw a faint red mark in the slightly opened skirt. Su Huai just hesitated for a moment, and reached out to tear Lu Yuan away. Yuan's clothes...

On the slightly white chest, there is a red mark as big as the belly of a finger. The shape is oblong, which is somewhat similar to the name I gave him.But this is not the key point, the key point is the birthmark of this color, which shows that this person, this tall, man-like person, is a little brother!Still a broken little brother!

"who are you?"

"Stop being annoying! You don't even know your son!" Holding Su Huai's wrist in annoyance, Lu Yuan roared drunkenly, and opened his eyes suddenly.

Their eyes met, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded, and Su Huai was also dumbfounded.

"Brother Su... why are you touching me?"
