This is a nurturing essay

The days passed with Dazai Osamu's reluctant morning exercises and his increasingly familiar knife throwing techniques.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the two returned to Lu Xue's villa.

The flower-growing country has been surrounded by a wave of festive red.Red lanterns can be seen everywhere, joyous music is playing in the shops, and there are also stalls selling small lanterns with window grilles and Chinese New Year couplets.

Osamu Dazai walked in front out of curiosity, while Lu Yu and Lu Xue walked behind him side by side.

They come to catch the New Year's Fair to purchase New Year's goods.

"Pork, beef, mutton, fish...green onions, radishes, cabbage, spinach, tofu..." Lu Yu took the list and counted the same items, "New clothes, red paper, firecrackers, fireworks... melon seeds, nuts, sugar..."

He looked at the lively annual collection and got a headache: "How can I buy all of this?"

"I'll go to the specialty store to buy clothes tomorrow, and the rest won't be wasted." Lu Xue said with a smile while pulling the cart, "It's no problem."

Lu Yu shrugged.

"Let's split up. I'll take Xiaozhi to buy vegetables, and you can buy other things." Lu Xue thought for a while and said.

"I think Xiaozhi prefers to buy red paper firecrackers." Lu Yu retorted.

"No matter~ Xiao Zhi will follow me!" Lu Xue caught up with Dazai Zhi who was swaying left and right in a few steps, and took his hand, "Xiao Zhi, there are many people in the gathering, don't get lost."

Osamu Dazai was so obedient that he could no longer meow obediently.

hateful!If Osamu Dazai could get lost, wouldn't Edogawa Ranpo get lost to plant flowers?

Lu Yu sneered, saying that as a qualified adult, he would not be with those two naive guys, and went to buy firecrackers with noble and glamorous steps.

Humph.

Thirty sheets of large and small red paper with the word "Fu" written on them.

Three couplets on red paper.

Two firecrackers and three boxes of fireworks—this city allows fireworks to be set off for three days during the Chinese New Year.

A bag of small lanterns.

Eight foil paper window grilles.

Assorted nuts and a big bag of candy.

Carrying several bags of things, and bought sugar-fried chestnuts, maltose and candied haws by the way, Lu Yu returned to the place where they left and waited for the other two.

Soon Lu Xue appeared pushing the cart, followed by Osamu Dazai holding a hydrogen balloon and a small bottle of succulent.

Lu Yu glanced at the hydrogen balloon with the Monkey King painted on it and couldn't help laughing: "It's so cute, Xiaozhi."

"If you like it, you won't give it up to Liuliu." Dazai Osamu shook his wrist tied with a pink plastic string, "Only the cutest person can have it."

"Okay then, I admit defeat." Lu Yu smiled cheerfully, "Hurry up and go home."

Lu Xue smiled mysteriously, and took out what had been hidden all along—another hydrogen balloon with a picture of four masters and apprentices: "For mom's lovely eldest son~"

Ah this.

Lu Yu blinked, took the balloon from Lu Xue and Dazai Zhi with playful smiles, and said softly, "Thank you very much."

So Lu Yu's wrist was also wrapped with a pink plastic rope tied with a balloon.

The family of three went home with big bags and two balloons.

"Xiao Zhi, haven't you grown the plants I gave you yet?"

"It's not my fault. Brother Liuliu takes me on trips all day. How can I grow plants?"

Lu Yu was silent for a while, and decided not to tell him that it was a clover that grew in water.

Xiaozhi, what did you pour it on...

Lunch is shabu-shabu.

Lu Xue can do this simple thing well!The soup base is just boiled with water, what can't be done?

"QAQ little Lu Yu, help me, there is a lot of foam coming out of this pot!!"

Lu Yu put down the kitchen knife dumbfounded, and went to deal with Lu Xue's mess.

Osamu Dazai, who was washing the vegetables, sighed maturely.

Thank you for your hard work, Brother Liuliu.

After a pleasant and chaotic lunch, the family decorates the house together.

In the study, Lu Yu spread out the red paper for the couplet, and Lu Xue took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to grind the ink.Osamu Dazai lay on the back of the chair, watching Lu Yu write Spring Festival couplets.

The brush is full of ink, and the hand with clear bones is lightly falling, writing a Spring Festival couplet in a flowing manner.

The first couplet: It is natural to not put on the roof tiles for a day.

The next couplet: Pretend to be cute and obedient, and your legs will break if you don't look at them.

Horizontal batch: There is a baby bear inside

Dazai Osamu: "..."

"Hahaha, that's great! Post it on the door of Xiaozhi's room!" Lu Xue was the first to express her appreciation.

"I also think it's very suitable." Lu Yu put down his pen and admired the Spring Festival couplets.

Osamu Dazai stretched out his cat's paw angrily, and slapped him with several cat paw prints, stained with ink: "I don't think it's appropriate!"

"Oh, Xiaozhi, your hands are dirty." Lu Xue winked at Lu Yu, grabbed Dazai's wrist, and took him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Lu Yu hurriedly picked up the boiled paste, and before the ink stains on the couplets were wiped off, he quickly pasted the couplets on Osamu Dazai's door.

The chic running script and the handprints in the lower right corner are a perfect match.

Great.Xiaozhi will definitely like it.

Lu Yu returned to the study satisfied.

Soon, Lu Xue returned with an angry Osamu Dazai.Lu Yu looked at the little black cat with a smile, and handed him a specially prepared candied haws, "Okay, let's continue."

In fact, Osamu Dazai, who was not angry, took the candied haws with peace of mind.

Unable to think of anything else for the couplet, Lu Yu turned to grinding ink, and Lu Xue wrote the characters "Fu" one by one.

Lu Xue's regular script is upright, without femininity, suitable for writing Zhengfu.

Osamu Dazai felt itchy, he put down the candied haws he hadn't eaten yet: "I'm coming too!"

So Lu Xue handed the pen to Osamu Dazai.

The boy who is not tall enough stands on a chair, holding a pen in a very correct posture.He wrote an extremely clear word on the red paper with delicate and immature handwriting——

"Meow".

"Okay, this is going to be pasted on Brother Liuliu's door." Osamu Dazai put down his pen.

He had already guessed that the couplet would appear at his door, so he wanted to take revenge.

"This is so cute!" Lu Xue's eyes lit up, "I agree!"

Obviously this is suitable for sticking in your cat's bed, Mr. Osamu Dazai.

Lu Yu sighed: "All right, all right, let's continue."

Satisfied, Osamu Dazai picked up the candied haws again and began to chew on them bit by bit.

The couplets and blessings were quickly finished, and there was still a lot of red paper that I bought more.

Lu Xue thought for a while, went to get a pair of scissors, and cut out a kitten with a few cuts.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up.

"Mom cut a few more, we'll paste them in Xiaozhi's room!"

"Okay~"

Click, click, the rest of the red paper turned into kittens.

Osamu Dazai, who was eating candied haws, agreed to this behavior. After all, the kitten Lu Xue cut was much cuter than that Spring Festival couplet.

The Spring Festival couplets with blessings had to be taken to an open place to dry one by one. Osamu Dazai was going to eat the last sugar ball and go to help.

"Kah."

what sound?Lu Yu looked up in confusion.

Osamu Dazai opened his mouth tearfully.I saw a snow-white deciduous tooth with a little blood on the last candied haws.

And the place where Dazai Osamu's wobbly front tooth was already empty.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up.He quickly took out his mobile phone and took several pictures in a row.

Osamu Dazai: ...[-] perverted! !
