be happy

At the foot of a mountain outside Changfeng City, a tug-of-war is going on in a small farmyard.

Lu Chenzhou picked up the bamboo basket that fell on the ground, put the sweet potatoes back into the basket one by one, looked at Luo Qianfan's flushed palm, and said helplessly, "How about we sit down and have a rest, and drink a cup of tea? Later Do you want to quarrel again?"

"Don't even think about it!" Luo Qianfan turned his head away, "You want to slip away while I'm not looking."

Lu Chenzhou simply pulled the small bench beside him and sat down.

"No sitting! That's mine." Luo Qianfan said angrily, and stepped forward to kick the bench away.

Lu Chenzhou lowered his eyes and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"You are not allowed to bring my things to others." Luo Qianfan said angrily.

"It's just a few sweet potatoes." Lu Chenzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That won't work either, I worked so hard to plant this." Luo Qianfan said.

"But these are all memorized." Lu Chenzhou retorted.

"That's not okay, it's mine. Everything here is mine, and I can't take any of it away." Luo Qianfan held firm.

Lu Chenzhou had no choice but to put the sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket back into the kitchen, and walked out empty-handed.

Luo Qianfan ran out again, blocking his way.

"I didn't bring anything." Lu Chenzhou stretched out his arms, and his wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.

"As I said before, my things cannot be brought to anyone without my permission." Luo Qianfan said forcefully.

Lu Chenzhou spread his hands and said, "I really didn't bring anything."

Luo Qianfan snorted coldly, strode forward, stretched out his arms to hug Lu Chenzhou tightly, and muttered: "You are mine too, you can't leave."

Lu Chenzhou blushed, and said eagerly, "Brother asked me to go back to celebrate the New Year."

Hearing this, Luo Qianfan felt even more depressed: "You actually cruelly abandoned me as a lifesaver, and let me guard this cold room by myself, while your family is happy and harmonious?"

"Cold room?" Lu Chenzhou was amused by his words, "A while ago you said that your room is warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Shut up." Luo Qianfan's face was black.

Lu Chenzhou shut his mouth wisely.

"Brat, take me with you if you want to go home. A handsome son-in-law always wants to see his in-laws. Your elder brother entrusted you to me. If you go back so alone, what if your elder brother says I bullied you?" Luo Qianfan What he said made sense.

Lu Chenzhou blushed even more, pushed Luo Qianfan away, and said, "You're talking nonsense."

Luo Qianfan took Lu Chenzhou's arm again, and threatened: "Try saying something again? Believe it or not, you don't need to wait until next year, and go directly to the bridal chamber now?"

"Luo Qianfan!" Lu Chenzhou said angrily, "Do you still know what shame is?"

Seeing that Lu Chenzhou was really angry, Luo Qianfan changed his words again and again, saying: "I was wrong, I was wrong, didn't I want you to take me back to celebrate the New Year, I have been alone for so many years, looking at other people's homes I was very happy, and then I squatted in the corner and wiped my tears secretly. I just want to go back with you to join in the fun." While talking, he ran into the kitchen and brought out a basket full of sweet potatoes, "Here, let's take these to brother Eat, see what else you want to bring, let's bring it together."

Lu Chenzhou: "..."

So, carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Luo Qianfan put his hands on Lu Chenzhou's shoulders, closed his eyes and listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and asked from time to time: "How long will it be?"

Just as Lu Chenzhou was about to answer, he lowered his head and saw a familiar figure, and immediately flew down with Yujian.

Tao Ranran was standing in front of the calligraphy and painting booth, holding a pair of couplets in one hand and comparing the words on them. For an illiterate person like him, it was really hard to tell whether it was good or bad.

"Young master." The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall said.

"Huh?" Tao Ranran raised his head, "What's wrong?"

"You took it upside down." The boss smiled kindly and motioned Tao Ranran to turn around.

Tao Ranran coughed lightly, put down the couplets in his hand in embarrassment, and said, "You can choose one for me." I knew that kid Tao Daoxi should have come.

The boss chose Tao Ranran with a slightly better subtitle, and handed it to Tao Ranran with a smile.

Tao Ranran paid the money, connected the couple, thanked the boss, and left.

Just when an old man passed by holding candied haws, Tao Ranran was in a daze before raising his hand and asked, "How do you sell this?"

The old man stretched out three fingers and said, "It's not expensive, it's three pennies a piece."

Tao Ranran handed the old man a tael of silver and said, "Is this enough to buy you?"

"Enough enough." The old man laughed until he lost his eyesight.

Tao Ranran took the big stick of candied haws carried by the old man, and walked back slowly, but bumped into Lu Chenzhou head-on.

"Sister-in-law." Lu Chenzhou shouted happily.

Tao Ranran was stunned for a while, then strode forward, surprised and said, "Is the injury all healed?"

"Yeah." Lu Chenzhou nodded, "It's all good."

"I don't even look at who saved it." Luo Qianfan interjected.

Tao Ranran smiled gratefully at Luo Qianfan: "Thank you."

"Why is sister-in-law here? Where's brother?" Lu Chenzhou looked around suspiciously, but there was no sign of Lu Yu.

The smile on Tao Ranran's mouth gradually disappeared, and he said, "He's not here, this is Xizhou, the boundary of Baichuan."

"But brother made sister-in-law angry?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

Tao Ranran shook his head.

"Then why is sister-in-law going back to her mother's house?" Lu Chenzhou was puzzled.

Tao Ranran took down two candied haws and handed them to Lu Chenzhou, saying: "If you are an adult, don't worry about children, eating a candied haws is really sweet."

Lu Chenzhou took the candied haws, opened them and handed them to Luo Qianfan's mouth.

Luo Qianfan moved his mouth together, and began to eat in big mouthfuls.

A trace of envy flashed across Tao Ranran's eyes, and he said narrowly, "A good thing is coming soon?"

Lu Chenzhou's hands froze. Luo Qianfan kept asking him to feed him when he was eating. It was called a repayment, but he got used to it later, so much so that he forgot the occasion.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Tao Ranran said with a smile.

Luo Qianfan was really hungry, so he finished a piece of candied haws.

Lu Chenzhou withdrew his hand, smiled unnaturally, and said: "New Year's Eve will be celebrated soon, sister-in-law will go back with me, brother must miss you very much."

Lu Chenzhou thought it was Lu Yu who drove Tao Ran away angrily.

"Didn't you hear about the recent incident?" Tao Ranran asked with downcast eyes.

Only then did Lu Chenzhou notice the pattern on Tao Ranran's face covered by hair, and said, "But it's related to sister-in-law?"

"Is your elder brother awake?" Tao Ranran asked.

"Wake up? Did something happen to your elder brother?" Lu Chenzhou was stunned.

Tao Ranran sighed and said, "It's okay, you can go back and say hello to your elder brother for me."

"Sister-in-law really won't go back with me?" Lu Chenzhou asked again.

"No." Tao Ranran refused, pulled out a candied haws and handed it to Lu Chenzhou, "Give it to your elder brother to taste."

"Okay." Lu Chenzhou put the candied haws in his sleeve, "Then let's go first."

Tao Ranran stood where he was, raised his head and watched the two people go away, and only looked away when he could see nothing.

"Brother, how do you sell your candied gourds?" A milky voice sounded.

Tao Ranran lowered his head and saw a little boy about four or five years old looking at the candied haws he held in his hand, his eyes glowing.

"I don't sell this." Tao Ranran squatted down, making eye contact with the boy.

The boy took out a copper coin from his pocket and said, "I have money."

Tao Ranran rubbed the boy's head, handed him a candied haws, and said, "I won't sell it, but I can give it to you."

"Thank you brother." The boy took the candied haws and was ecstatic.

"You're welcome." Tao Ranran was also infected by the boy's joy, and the gloom in his heart lightened a bit.

Tao Ranran walked back slowly, and would give a candied haws to any child he met along the way. The children who were scared to cry by his appearance before would circle around him and sweetly call out "Brother."

Zhongxuan

Lu Yichun looked at the basket full of sweet potatoes on Luo Qianfan's shoulder in surprise, and said, "You planted these."

"Could it be that you planted it?" Luo Qianfan rolled his eyes at him and rubbed his arm with pantothenic acid.

"Where's brother?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

"In Lonely Flock Residence." Lu Yichun replied.

"Then I'll go look for him." Lu Chenzhou dragged Luo Qianfan, ready to walk in the direction of Gu Wuju.

Lu Yichun reminded: "Young master, when you see the suzerain, don't mention your wife."

"Why?" Lu Chenzhou was puzzled, "I ran into my sister-in-law in Xizhou just now, and she refused to come. Could it be that I'm angry with my brother?"

"It's all ordered by the Great Elder, young master, don't ask again. The suzerain doesn't remember Madam now, so after the young master meets the suzerain, don't mention it, otherwise the elder will blame her and the consequences will be very serious." Lu Yichun headed Shaking like a rattle.

Lu Chenzhou frowned, and said, "What happened? My sister-in-law wouldn't tell me either."

"It's a long story, and it's useless to make a long story short, so there's no need for you to ask more questions." Lu Yichun said.

"Forget it, don't mention it if you don't mention it." Lu Chenzhou sighed, "I'm going to find my brother."

Lu Yu looked at Lu Chenzhou and Luo Qianfan who walked in, stood up to greet them, and said calmly, "I'm back."

"Brother." Lu Chenzhou cupped his hands.

Seeing that Lu Chenzhou was fine, Lu Yu looked at Luo Qianfan gratefully, and said, "Thank you."

"No, I'm just helping myself." Luo Qianfan waved his hand.

Both Lu Yu and Lu Chenzhou were used to the cynicism and sarcasm before, so it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed to sit upright for a while.

"Go back and rest if you have nothing to do." Lu Yu was the first to break the silence.

"Yes." Lu Chenzhou said.

When he was about to walk out of the house, he suddenly remembered the candied haws in his sleeve, and then turned back and handed it to Lu Yu.

"No, take it back," Lu Yu said.

"Tao Ranran asked me to give it to you." Lu Chenzhou said while looking at Lu Yu's expression at the moment, the same as before.

"Who is that?" Lu Yu asked.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Chenzhou's eyes, and he said: "An old friend of mine, he respects my brother very much, and hopes that my brother will accept it, so as not to let him down."

"Let's put it down," Lu Yu said.

Lu Chenzhou put the candied haws on the table and left.

In the evening, when Lu Yuanshu came over, he saw candied haws on the table, but Lu Yu didn't know where it was.I was bored for a while, so I picked up the candied haws and bit them.

"Uncle." A voice came from behind.

Lu Yuanshu was so frightened that the candied haws in his mouth fell to the ground, he patted his chest, and said, "Heqing, why are you shouting so loudly?"

"This is mine." Lu Yu looked at the candied haws in Lu Yuanshu's hand.

Lu Yuanshu put the candied haws back to its original place, and said awkwardly, "I just came in and saw that you weren't there, and my mouth was itchy, so I ate it."

"What's the matter, uncle?" Lu Yu asked.

Lu Yuanshu looked at Lu Yu and said, "Who messed with you? You look so bad?"

"No." Lu Yu turned his face away.

"Okay, it's late at night, let's talk about it tomorrow, don't worry." Lu Yuanshu stretched, got up and left.

Lu Yu looked at the bitten candied haws on the table, picked it up silently, and ate it with a frown.
