all things

I want to be naturally shocked by Shen Yunjia, "Who told you that only girls can feed cats?"

There are several gift bags, large and small, piled up on the coffee table in the living room, most of which are tobacco, wine and tea, as if they are afraid that others will not see how expensive the things are, and even the outer packaging and bags have a vulgar smell. Gold glitter.

He was not surprised, there would definitely be people rushing to deliver these to his house during the holidays, but when he passed by, there were a few large cardboard boxes that looked a bit plain on the ground, which caught his attention.

"What are these boxes? They were also sent by someone else?"

"Ah, that's right!" Shen Yunjia said, "It is said to be a local product of the island, such as dried seafood."

Then he said with a sad face, "We won't be here for the New Year this year, and these things can't be put away. You can see what you can give to your classmates and take it. Don't spoil the good things."

It has been the third year since their family came to Ancheng, and they stayed here for various reasons in the first two years, so they plan to go back to their hometown of Quancheng for the festival this year.

Bian's father and Shen Yunjia are both from Quancheng. Apart from Bian thinking about grandma and grandpa, they basically have no relatives here. After his grandpa and grandpa passed away, they were even more isolated——

Oh, there is also Chen Wentong.But it is impossible for anyone to give these things to Chen Wentong. Firstly, he is a fool who has not yet married. It's really good for tobacco and alcohol.

Except for mother-level housewives, there are really few who can understand these things-the person who delivered these boxes of things to the door can be regarded as a clear stream among all the coquettish sluts.

"What number did you buy the ticket for?"

"Flight the night after tomorrow, year 28."

"Okay, there's another day tomorrow, I'm going to share the things." I thought about stretching, "Oh, I was so cold today, how could you be so heroic in this winter on a motorcycle? The street? When the wind blows, I want to kneel down and call Grandpa, so I can find the old man and get a small car with a tiled roof to drive!"

Shen Yunjia smiled and pushed him into the bathroom, "I tell you not to wear long johns! Take a shower quickly, and I'll get you clothes."

When Yu Jinle received the call the next day and came to the store, he thought that the bags had been piled up in the store and had been doing homework with Yu's mother for a long time.

This guy has now become the child of other people's family that Yu's mother talks about every day. He has a good family background, good character, good looks, and he will come to trouble. Everyone in the Yu family has liked him from old to young, especially Yu's mother and Yu Xiaomei.The former laughs when he sees him, and can boast in different ways when he doesn't see him; the latter is clingy when he sees him, and now she hates Yu Jinle's hair-tying for her, thinking about how well her brother did it...

Yu Jinle rolled his eyes, "Mom, he never wears long johns!"

He just couldn't understand how his mother was holding on to her and boasting in different ways, feeling upset and trying to make things difficult for him.

As a person who once hated wearing long johns, he understood his mother's obsession with wearing long johns in winter.

As a result, Yu's mother gave her son a big chestnut after hearing it, "You see, he exercises every day and he is not afraid of the cold, but you only eat and drink at home all day long. Of course the weak chicken is afraid of the cold! I don't know." Who told you in your face!"

While trying to pull Yu Xiaomei's braids, she couldn't stand up straight from laughing.

Yu Jinle: "..."

Then I saw my mother turned around and spoke Mandarin with a serious accent and wanted to say to Bian solemnly, "Little Bian, don't think that Auntie is wordy, you 'mother' (young) young people, just want to be fashionable. Suffocating and freezing, thinking that it doesn’t matter if you are young and strong (before) now, you will suffer when you get old.”

She poked at the ripped jeans she was thinking about with a look of incomprehension, "Look at the 'Boom' (wind) can go right into your joints and bones, this hole can wear a flower, it's worth your cold with?"

Yu's mother not only has no distinction between the front and the back nose, but also seriously HF confusion. She listened earnestly and thought about being serious before responding with a smile. She could only try her best to bite the soft flesh on both sides of her mouth, with a wooden face and humbly taught, "Got it, auntie. , I won’t wear these pants anymore.”

Now it was Yu Jinle's turn to gloat.

Thinking that besides sending some dried seafood and fruits to Yu's mother, another purpose is to tell Yu Jinle that he is going back to Quancheng for the New Year.

Even if there is no task sent by Shen Yunjia, he will still speak up.

He thought that when he came back after the next year, the time for the two to meet would be "next year".Although it was only a few days, this leap in time was a shining feng shui ridge.

He didn't think about some things, but what about the Feng Shui Ridge in time?Why did she have to explain her whereabouts to Yu Jinle?Even for Zhang Hongkuan, a junior high school classmate who lives in the same community with two parents who are good friends, he just sent a text message to briefly tell the other party about his return to his hometown. Could Yu Jinle's existence be more special than Zhang Hongkuan's?

As the Spring Festival approached, everyone was busy, thinking that he would go home after a short time, and he still had to pack his luggage.

When he entered the door, he saw two pairs of shoes in the entrance, one pair belonged to his father and he recognized it; the other pair of shoes had an exaggerated shape and a flat duckbill-like toe. It looked strange but was very familiar with its flamboyant style.

The door of the study was closed, and voices came from inside: besides his father, he also recognized Chen Wentong's voice.

He frowned, is this causing trouble again?

The break at noon is not long, and his father will come back occasionally, but he mostly rests and rarely spends time in the study. Now that Chen Wentong is added in, it is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

The sound from the kitchen was that Shen Yunjia was cooking. He strolled in, pointed in the direction of the study and asked, "Why are you here now?"

It is self-evident who comes to the door.

Shen Yunjia turned her head, but before she could recover her expression, the gloomy and gloomy look on her face startled him.

You must know that every time Chen Wentong came over, Shen Yunjia's demeanor was always distant and polite. No matter how arrogant and bad Chen Wentong's attitude was, she just laughed it off and never took it to heart, letting him swing every punch with ambition. On the soft cotton, light and helpless.

Because of this, thinking about it, I always feel that Shen Yunjia is not only smart, but also arrogant.She is arrogant and tactful, this kind of tact can fool fools, and can also make smart people die alive.How could he be being polite to you with his indifference?It's clear that I didn't see you in the slightest!

Chen Wentong is an idiot, so he has always felt that Shen Yunjia is afraid of him; but thinking about it differently, after all these years of getting along, he can clearly see Shen Yunjia's personality.

Thinking that no one would doubt Dad's decision in this family, Shen Yunjia never said "no" when he started to clean up all kinds of messes for Chen Wentong, and he just followed unconditionally. Thinking about my father's decision to leave.

——It was the first time I saw such an ugly face that couldn't restrain my thoughts leaking out like now.

"what happened to you?"

Shen Yunjia's expression was actually closed very quickly, it was only a blink of an eye, but probably the surprise was too obvious when she was thinking, and she also knew that she had lost her composure, so she reached out and wiped away the worries on her face, and was quiet for two seconds before changing. Shang Shang looked as usual and said, "Hurry up and set the table, we can eat."

If she didn't tell him, his dad wouldn't tell him either, so thinking about it, it's over here.

This little episode didn't seem to cause any disturbance, and the Bian family returned to Quancheng as scheduled.

On New Year's Eve, Yu Jinle was picked up from the bed by Yu's mother early in the morning.

Yu's father only puts down the business in the store at this time every year, and goes to the seafood market to pick up large and small bags, while Yu's mother is busy in the kitchen preparing various worship products for ancestor worship in the afternoon, from steamed fish rice to salted pork belly Everything from boiled chicken and stewed goose to fresh oranges, apples and pears is available.

At this time, the whole family must be busy. Yu Jinle took Yu Jinan and Yu Jinyao to the store after pasting the couplets. Usually, there will be no business in the store at this time, but they are used to opening the store for half a day in the morning. .

As a small southern city, Dacheng is always filled with various customs of worshiping gods during the New Year and festivals, and the gods and worship methods branched to many small towns and villages below are even more varied.Each house has its own rituals of worship. There are some big ones, and there are many simplified ones. After all, when walking on the main road, there is always the smell of incense candles mixed with burning paper money wafting into the nostrils.

The Yu family belongs to the kind of family that simplifies all kinds of worship rituals to the same extent. The sense of ritual is not very strong, but the most basic three things are sending the gods to the gods, inviting the gods to worship the ancestors.After lunch, worship the ancestors and the father-in-law of the land. The father-in-law of the land is commonly known as the "landlord".

After the new year, Yu Jinle will be seventeen years old.Every Chinese New Year, he spends his time among a bunch of indescribable types of seafood kuih products and countless worships to gods and ancestors.Mother Yu is the commander-in-chief of the family at this time, and they will turn wherever they are pointed in the direction. Even the two young ones have to run up and down to help pass the sacrifices on and off the table.

Have a reunion dinner in the evening, the dishes are rich, all seafood, the induction cooker is filled with water and the bottom of the pot, a family of five eats around, the fish, shrimp, crab and snails are all raw seafood, scalded, picked up and dipped in watercress chili sauce to eat It couldn't be more delicious.The whole pot of clear water has been baptized by a meal of seafood, and it has also been boiled into an authentic seafood soup base. Dad Yu likes to scoop up a bowl of soup at this time and sprinkle a pinch of celery beads. The sweetness of the soup is accompanied by chopped celery The refreshing taste is more attractive than anything else. ⑨

The whole family's expectation for the Spring Festival Gala was only Yu's mother. After dinner, Yu Jinle helped to clean up the dishes, and Yu's father took Yu Jin'an and Yu Jinyao out to the flower market.

The annual flower market craze starts to cool down in the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, and it will turn into a big sale after dinner. Yu’s father will go out for a couple of laps, and buy a pot or two if he finds it suitable. However, his family has always been fond of growing flowers. I don't pay much attention to these, these annual flowers usually die on their own not long after the year, they are really "annual flowers", and they are quite festive.

When Yu Jinle came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and brushing her hair, she saw Yu's mother, who was watching the Spring Festival Gala, laughing on the phone.

"Happy New Year to you too, Xiao Bian. Auntie wishes you a 'Xing' (new) year of good health, 'kankan' (health), and learning 'environment' (progress)."

Yu Jinle: "..."

Okay, this friend of middle-aged and elderly women is quite thoughtful, is this a special call to call his mother to wish his mother a new year?

As soon as Mother Yu saw her son come out, she said into the microphone, "Jin Le has finished taking a shower, I gave him the call!"

"Happy New Year, Xiao Yu'er!" The squad leader's voice came from the phone line, accompanied by the faint sound of firecrackers.

"Happy New Year." Yu Jinle put a towel on his shoulders and sat cross-legged on the sofa with a head of dry hair, "It's so lively, can you still set off firecrackers in your hometown?"

Firecrackers have been banned in Dacheng for many years, and the memory of thousands of firecrackers going off and the smell of gunpowder and sulfur piercing his nostrils when he was a child is far away from him.

"Ah, I'm on my grandfather's side, the countryside, don't care about that." The voice sounded a little empty while thinking, "Have you eaten dumplings?"

Yu Jinle said, "Let me tell you, class monitor, do you have any misunderstandings about the south? My family's New Year's Eve dinner has never had dumplings!"

A low laugh came from over there, "CXTV said, how do I know that I haven't been to your house for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

The laugh was pushed out from the depths of his throat, deep and hoarse, and Yu Jinle seemed to be able to imagine the picture of the ups and downs of his chest being shaken by the airflow.

He said: "Then you come, you will know what we eat when you come, don't just make dumplings."

He added, "Is my hometown fun? Is it snowing? Is it cold?"

Then he heard a "rustling" from over there, and then the voice of thinking sounded, "Did you hear that? The sound of walking in the snow. The snow that fell after dinner at night was not very big, just a thin layer , There's mud down there, stop now, otherwise I won't be able to run out and call you."

Yu Jinle: "Why can't you run out when it snows? Are you wearing ripped jeans again?"

While thinking: "You said you would run out to get wet if you didn't stay at home when it rained?"

Yu Jinle: "But snow is not rain..."

Thinking: "Let's put it this way, Xiao Yu'er, let me use a metaphor, if I don't stay in the house on a snowy day and run out to call you just to pay New Year's greetings, then I must have true love for you."

Yu Jinle nodded here, "So it's fake love now."

I don't know when the problem of being poor can't help being poor when I want to talk to him. In short, he can't blush when he talks.

The author has something to say:

Note ⑨: In fact, you can’t eat like this. The seafood hot pot soup is too high in purines, which can easily cause high uric acid and gout.
