It's too hard for a green tea man to match him

Shen Mingdeng didn't sleep for long, and woke up amidst the sound of firecrackers in the whole village.

After washing up, I went downstairs to have breakfast, only to find that my mother had been looking at me with strange eyes.

"how?"

Xiang Yan looked at him silently for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's not like that."

Shen Mingdeng:?

"Are you feeling well?" Xiang Yan asked again.

"No."

"Didn't you mess around last night?"

"……No."

Xiang Yan: "Then why did you get up so late?"

Shen Mingdeng: ...

He didn't mess around with Yu Qiu, but he competed with himself, and fell asleep after suffering from insomnia for a long time.

"Where's Qiuqiu?" He changed the subject.

Xiang Yan took a look at him, and said angrily: "He is arranging couplets in the yard, and you two will post them together later."

"Ah."

A courtyard wall was built around the two-story building of Shen's house, and an osmanthus tree was planted in the courtyard. The flowering period has passed, and only the leaves dance with the wind.

Shen Mingdeng quickly ate breakfast and came to the front yard.

The sun was shining, and the warm orange-gold shone on the young man's body. The black and fine hair reflected the silky light, and his face was as white as jade.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man turned around and burst into a smile. His clear eyes were filled with golden light, and behind him was the light gray courtyard wall, backed by the blue sky, which was extraordinarily elegant and clear.

"Here you come, hurry up and post the Spring Festival couplets, and go up the mountain to visit the grave after posting them."

Just came back yesterday, both Shen Yingshan and Xiang Yan were exhausted, and they had to talk to the villagers, so they had no time to go up the mountain.

I can only spare time today.

Shen Mingdeng was caught by his smile, couldn't hold it back, and leaned over to kiss his lips.

Why is it so sweet.

"What are you doing? There are people outside." Yu Qiu pushed him lightly, but with a smile on his face.

Shen Mingdeng hugged him from behind, "I've seen it, no one is there."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Xiang Yan walked into the yard and coughed a few times.

I didn't even see it.

Yu Qiu pushed his elbows back to push Shen Mingdeng away, "Quick post."

Shen Mingdeng wasn't annoyed at all, on the contrary, he benefited a lot.

"I feel that the countryside is more youthful than the city." Yu Qiu said with a smile.

Waking up early in the morning, the quiet mountain village is enveloped by the sound of firecrackers, but the city is not so lively.

Shen Mingdeng took the couplet from him, and pasted it on the door, "I will accompany you whenever you want to come here from now on."

"It's crooked, the right hand goes up a little bit, and then down, um, yes," Yu Qiu stood behind and directed, and responded with a smile, "Okay, I still want to eat the bamboo shoots you dug with your own hands."

"I listen to you."

Xiang Yan: "..."

Gone and gone, really tired.

After sweeping the tomb and preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, the family of four sat around the table.

"After the new year, Ming Deng is 26, and Xiao Qiu is also a year older. Time flies so fast." Xiang Yan was full of emotion.

Shen Yingshan toasted with a smile: "Our family will be safe, healthy, harmonious and beautiful in the future."

The clear liquor shimmered under the light, and Yu Qiu looked down, feeling full of peace in his heart.

This is not his first New Year's Eve, but the first time he has had such a happy New Year's Eve.

After the meal, Xiang Yan pulled Yu Qiu into the room and closed the door.

"Aunt Xiang?"

Xiang Yan took out a big red envelope from the drawer, smiled and stuffed it into Yu Qiu's hand, "This is your lucky money."

"But I'm already an adult." Yu Qiu was a little embarrassed to ask.

"What's an adult or not? In front of me, you will always be a child." Xiang Yan stuffed it into his pocket forcefully.

Yu Qiu frowned: "Thank you, Aunt Xiang."

"Oh." Xiang Yan sighed softly.

"what happened?"

"Xiaoqiu," she took out another item from the drawer, wrapped it in a silk handkerchief, and held it in her hand, "Auntie asked you a question, and you must answer me honestly."

Yu Qiu restrained his smile and said seriously, "Okay."

Looking into his eyes, Xiang Yan asked in a deep voice, "Did you really decide to be with Ming Deng?"

"Yes."

Yu Qiu didn't hesitate, just how uneasy was in his heart.

He looked back at the woman in front of him, and said in the most sincere tone: "I like him and want to be with him. Aunt Xiang, I don't want anyone but him."

"I'm sorry." He lowered his head and said softly, "If you don't want to..."

"Then why do you still call me 'aunt'?" Xiang Yan interrupted him.

Yu Qiu was stunned, and suddenly raised her eyes: "Aunt Xiang..."

"Xiaoqiu," Xiang Yan said with a gentle expression, stroking his soft hair with the palm of his hand, "When I just brought you home, I asked you if you would like to register at home, do you remember?"

"I remember." Yu Qiu choked up.

The fine lines at the end of Xiang Yan's eyes were full of love, "I have always regarded you as my son, and I have always wanted to hear you call 'Mom'."

Yu Qiu's throat was astringent, and tears suddenly came out of his eyes.

"Now that you are with Minden and he takes care of you, it's too late for me to be happy. Why don't you want to?"

"I..." Yu Qiu's throat tightened, and he couldn't even speak.

Xiang Yan handed him the things wrapped in Sipa.

"This is a custom in the past. After the child is born, those who have the conditions will put a longevity lock on the child to bless the child healthy and safe. I missed you when you were just born, and it may be too late to send you this now. I just want you to live happily ever after.”

The longevity lock fell on the palm, heavy, just like the love given to him by the gentle woman in front of him.

Yu Qiu clenched his fingers tightly, tears streaming from his eyes.

He suddenly hugged Xiang Yan, his voice extremely hoarse: "Thank you...Mom."

Xiang Yan's body froze, and great joy burst out from her heart. She hugged the young man back abruptly, and replied solemnly:

"Hey!"

After Shen Mingdeng finished washing the dishes, he didn't find Yu Qiu downstairs. When he saw Xiang Yan, he asked casually, "Where's Qiuqiu?"

"I went upstairs." Xiang Yan teased, "I used to avoid Xiao Qiu every day, but now I can't leave her for a moment."

Shen Mingdeng: "..."

This black history cannot pass.

He went upstairs reluctantly and saw Yu Qiu squatting on the ground to open the suitcase.

"What do you want?"

Yu Qiu looked up at him, his eyes were slightly red, but his expression was quite peaceful.

"Are you crying?" Shen Mingdeng strode forward, knelt down and raised his face, staring at him carefully, "What's going on?"

Yu Qiu raised the things in his hand and shook them triumphantly, "My mother gave me the lucky money and the longevity lock, I'm just so moved."

Shen Mingdeng was stunned for a moment, "What did you just say?"

"New Year's money and longevity lock."

"No, it's in front."

Yu Qiu came to his senses, rolled his eyes with a quick smile, leaned forward, and said softly, "I said, our mother."

Shen Mingdeng embraced him and kissed him without any explanation.

Like a lion biting its prey, savor the sweetness to its heart's content.

The red envelope and golden lock fell into the suitcase, and Yu Qiu had to clutch his clothes and close his eyes to respond.

The happiness in my heart seems to be overflowing.

After a long time, the two separated.

Shen Mingdeng held Yu Qiu's hand, put his chin on the young man's shoulder, and the scorching breath sprayed on the side of his neck, again and again, deep and lingering.

"I have to clean up." Yu Qiu said sullenly.

"Okay, I remembered that there is still something I haven't done." Shen Mingdeng let go of his hand, not daring to look at him at all, turned around and went downstairs.

Yu Qiu: "...puchi."

This is where he fled?

He put away the red envelope and longevity lock, and went downstairs.

There are no recreational activities in the village, so on New Year's Eve, the whole family watches the Spring Festival Gala to watch the New Year's Eve.

In the living room, the central air conditioner was whistling, and the special program before the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the LCD TV. Listening to the festive and lively background sound made people feel refreshed.

Xiang Yan has prepared a tea tray, which contains many snacks.

"Xiao Qiu, sit here." She beckoned, wanting to sit with Yu Qiu.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingdeng grabbed Yu Qiu directly, and said calmly, "You sit with Dad, and I sit with Qiuqiu."

Xiang Yan: "..."

If you don't fall in love, it's enough. Falling in love is scary!

Shen Yingshan deliberately asked Xiang Yan: "Do you dislike me, old man?"

"Screw you."

Yu Qiu looked at them, seeming to be bickering, but actually showing affection, she couldn't help but turned her head and sat down next to Shen Mingdeng.

The corners of the lips could not help but curl up.

This is his family.

After all, the old couple were getting old, and they squinted their eyes after watching for a long time, and had to go back to their room to rest.

Shen Mingdeng turned off the TV, took Yu Qiu's hand and went upstairs, the door closed with a click, and the air conditioner in the room was fully turned on, making it very warm.

Aromatherapy is added to the humidifier, and the light rose smell is intoxicating.

Shen Mingdeng said, "I'll take a shower first."

"Ah."

Yu Qiu turned on the TV, trying to dilute some unspeakable ambiguity.

His heart was pounding and he couldn't watch the show at all.

Shen Mingdeng took a long time to wash this time, and when he came out, his expression was calm, except for the occasional burning in his eyes.

Yu Qiu went in with her pajamas in her arms.

He believed in Shen Mingdeng, there was nothing to be nervous about.

After taking a shower and drying their hair as usual, the two lay together, accompanied by the sound of the sketch, listening to each other's heartbeats.

But Shen Mingdeng was far more calm than Yu Qiu thought.

If he said he couldn't move, he really didn't move.

"This is the happiest year I've ever lived." Yu Qiu leaned on his chest and said softly with her eyes closed.

Shen Mingdeng palmed the back of his neck, "Can you tell me about your childhood?"

"What do you want to hear?"

"whatever."

Yu Qiu thought for a while, then laughed suddenly: "When I was a child, I was very boring. I just studied and embroidered every day. My father is an actor. He is very busy and often stays away. The whole family has never had a full year."

"They used to love each other very much. Although they were not rich enough, they were willing to fight together. However, in the ninth year of my birth, his drama became popular."

Shen Mingdeng hugged him tightly.

"He made a lot of money, bought a big house, took me and my mother in, and said that he would make more popular movies in the future and buy a bigger house."

"My mother was very happy, and I was also very happy. But one day, my mother suddenly became unhappy. She even became hysterical because Mr. Yu betrayed her."

Yu Qiu raised his head, "Isn't it vulgar?"

Shen Mingdeng kissed his forehead.

"In that year, they had countless quarrels. They were noisy on the phone, in the yard, in the room, everywhere. They agreed to go to Aunt Wei's appointment, but they quarreled before they left. They finally endured Not seeing each other, on impulse, they went out..."

"Qiuqiu." Shen Mingdeng pressed his fingertips against his lips.

He knew the rest.

Yu Qiu looked at him, with tears in his eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Am I not important at all?"

"No, you are the most important."

"But my mother would rather leave her job and go to the airport to pick up my dad than put down her sewing and go to school to pick me up. I am very envious of other classmates. They have parents, grandparents, and older brothers and sisters with younger siblings. I have nothing. "

Shen Mingdeng felt very distressed.

But he didn't know how to comfort the young man.

"Shen Mingdeng, I always wanted to have an older brother. Even if my parents don't care about me, he can protect me."

As long as someone protects him with the attitude of "brother", he is reluctant to let go.

Shen Mingdeng's voice was unbelievably hoarse, "I will protect you from now on."

"Brother" is just a synonym for guardian, what Yu Qiu wants is the most unique love in the world.

He can afford it.
