The Hong family had a rich dinner that day.All the boxes of crabs delivered in the afternoon were used to make crab dishes.The crab hot pot is boiling, the sashimi is crystal clear, and dishes such as baked crab with cheese, boiled crab, and crab mud tea bowl are placed on the table, with bright and attractive colors.In addition to crabs, Hong Leng also prepared two full boxes of various kinds of sushi.

Buckwheat noodles are both Hong Jiao Dong's favorite food and a frequent visitor on the New Year's Eve dinner table.Also on the table was a dish of cold soba noodles on a bamboo basket, served with grilled crab legs.The white noodles are paired with bright red crab legs, the color contrast attracts the appetite.

Sitting at the table, Hong Jiaodong saw that Lin Yuanxun was not strong enough to cut the hard crab shells, so he took the crab legs from her and cut the joints into pieces.The slender fingers with well-defined joints pinched the crab shell and twisted it gently, and the snow-white crab meat was pulled out.

Lin Yuanxun used chopsticks to pick up the crab leg meat, which was much thicker than her thumb, and chewed it.She hasn't eaten such high-grade ingredients for a long time.Although she never complained, she still felt her nose was a little sour when her taste buds came into contact with the fresh and tender crab legs again.

"It's super delicious..." Lin Yuanxun said vaguely after eating the last bite, and looked up at Hong Jiaodong, wanting to act like a baby and ask him to help her peel the crab legs again, but he was a little embarrassed.

Tong Jiaodong, who was eating soba noodles, put down the small bowl in his hand, consciously took another crab leg, peeled it off, and placed it in front of Hayashi Yuan Kaoru.

Seeing his girlfriend's eye circles turn red after eating a root crab leg, I felt a soreness in my heart.He absently opened the crab shell and silently calculated the remaining outstanding loan amount.

After being with Lin Yuanxun, whenever Hong Jiaodong saw something delicious and interesting when he was on patrol, he would buy it back and bring it to her.He wants to give her everything he thinks is good.But in the end, Hong Jiaodong will always restrain his impulse, because he knows that the news of the loan repayment will make Lin Yuanxun more happy than these small gifts.

He no longer goes to the high-end soba noodle shop that he used to visit every week. When shopping, he will consider whether what he wants to buy is a necessity, whether he can replace it with what he already has, and if it is really necessary, he will shop around.Hong Jiaodong tried to do something that he had never done before, and found that it was not that difficult.

Hong Jiaodong knew that Lin Yuanxun secretly worked part-time when he was not in class, knew that she took care of most of the housework, and knew that even though he saved enough living expenses for the two of them, she would still use her savings to buy some ingredients and daily necessities, Try not to burden him.

Because she is trying to endure for him, so he has to work harder.

Although I was very embarrassed, when calculating, Hong Jiaodong still tried to include the alimony that Hong Leng had saved for him in the past two years.If calculated in this way, only a small half of the outstanding balance of more than 800 million yuan is left.

In a few months... Hong Jiaodong thought to himself, in a few months, the loan will be paid off.Counting how many months it will take to repay the loan, and counting the days to become a top hero, he only plans to use it for one or two years.

When the time comes, he will give her everything she wants until she doesn't want it anymore.

After dinner, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.The TV is broadcasting the Red and White Song Concert, and the melodious singing voice comes out from the impression.There were only a few leftovers left on the table, Hong Dongmei made some goat milk powder, fed the cat, and watched TV with gusto, while Hong Xiaxiong's girlfriend returned to his hometown on New Year's Eve, and now he is holding an iPad and videoing with her girlfriend .

"Huh? That's right, we are also watching red and white. The one who is performing now is that idol Zhaoqiao Xinmei." Hong Xiaxiong leaned against the table and glanced up at the TV, "What? No, no, don't worry about Aihua, I will definitely not shout at her..."

"Let me help you." Seeing that Aunt Meihezi was packing up the dishes, Lin Yuanxun wanted to help her get some dishes, but unexpectedly, another hand stretched out from the side of the slant, and took the stack away from Aunt Meihezi first. plate.

Lin Yuanxun was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw Hong Jiaodong packing his chopsticks with his head down.

"I'm not afraid of the cold, it won't be good if your hands get cold." He saw Lin Yuanxun looking at him all the time, so he turned his head and instructed.

"Hmm." Lin Yuanxun withdrew his hand a little embarrassedly.She sat back at the table, subconsciously looked at the wall clock, and counted the time to go out to worship.

The trams and subways on New Year’s Eve operate all night to facilitate people’s visits.But if you want to stand in front of the main hall of the shrine on time around twelve o'clock, in addition to having to go out and line up in advance, you also need a little luck.Seeing that it wasn't too late, Lin Yuanxun looked away, and just took a sip from the teacup when someone patted his shoulder lightly.

She was taken aback, put down the cup and turned around, only to find that Hong Leng was bending over and standing behind her with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Xun, come here." Hong Leng signaled Lin Yuanxun to follow her out.

Hayashi Yuanxun stood up inexplicably, followed Hong Leng through the long wooden corridor, and finally stopped in front of a Japanese-style paper door.

Hong Leng opened the paper door and turned on the light.After seeing the scene inside the door, Lin Yuanxun couldn't help but stop.

In the center of the room behind the door are rows of walnut stands.On the stands are sets of furisode kimonos with gorgeous patterns and expensive fabrics.Under the warm light yellow light, the patterns and paintings on the kimono are clearly visible, and the flowers and brocade birds are lifelike.

Lin Yuanxun stood at the door in a daze, while Hong Liang grabbed her hand and led her in.

"Will you and Jiao Dong go to the shrine to pay homage later?" She said, gently lifting the sleeve of one of the kimonos, "Which one of the kimonos here do you like?"

Lin Yuanxun understood what Hong Leng meant, and quickly shook his head: "Thank you, but I can just wear ordinary clothes..."

Hong Leng turned around, and asked with a smile: "Jiao Dong always wears a kimono every time she visits New Year's shrines. Is Xiao Xun really planning to only wear regular clothes?"

Hayashi Yuanxun is too embarrassed to wear regular clothes now.After thinking about it, she nodded lightly: "Then I will trouble you."

She thought of her mother.Airi Hirose also gave her a kimono in the past, but Airi Hirose did not take her to choose carefully like Hong Leng, but sent her directly to the tailor, and customized dozens of sets that can be worn on important occasions There was no room for her to choose the dress, style and color of her own.Kaoru Hayashi remembers that the kimonos she ordered were either black or red, but these two colors were not her favorite...

"I want this one." Lin Yuanxun saw a touch of peach pink from the hanger.She stood cautiously beside the furisode kimono, looked back at Hong Leng: "Can I wear this?"

Perhaps Lin Yuanxun's look of anticipation in his eyes was too obvious, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Of course." She said softly, taking off the peach-pink Furisode kimono.

***

After helping Aunt Meihezi wash the dishes, Hong Jiaodong returned to Guangjian, only to find that Lin Yuanxun was no longer there.

"Xunjiang was called away by her mother just now." Hong Dongmei sat cross-legged in front of the TV with the cat in her arms, and said back after hearing the sound of Hong Jiaodong.After several hours, the little black cat seemed to have gradually become familiar with Hong Dongmei's embrace and breath.Maybe the stray cat has no sense of security. After being rescued, it will be special to its loved ones. It is afraid that it will be discarded again because of its poor performance. Now it is curled up and rolled into a small ball of hair in Hong Dongmei's arms. It is motionless and obedient. It looks like a fake cat.

Hong Jiaodong glanced at the clock and found that the hour hand was already close to the number 10.He estimated the usual situation of New Year's visits, and felt that it was time to prepare to go out, so he turned around and prepared to find someone.

As soon as he walked to the door, Hong Jiaodong saw Hong Leng walking slowly from the other end of the corridor. When he saw him, his mother still had a kind smile on his face.

Although after coming out of the hospital, Hong Leng smiled more, but this time she smiled so much that Hong Jiao Dong felt that something was wrong.

"Xiao Xun is in your room now." When he walked in front of Hong Jiaodong, Hong Leng stopped slightly and stopped him, "I asked her to bring the kimono you are going to wear later."

Hearing the words, Hong Jiaodong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Mom, I don't plan to wear a kimono this year." He whispered, "Kuno doesn't have a kimono, so I'll just wear ordinary clothes with her this year."

Hong sneered and shook his head, walked into the wide room, sat next to Hong Dongmei and watched the red and white song.Hong Jiaodong looked at his mother inexplicably, without thinking too much, but walked towards his room.

Through the paper door, Hong Jiaodong could see the lights in his room.While looking at the watch on his wrist, he opened the door casually, and the moment he raised his head, his steps froze.

A girl in a peach pink furisode kimono was standing in the middle of the room.Hearing the sound of the paper door frame rubbing against the track, she turned her head subconsciously, and the fluttering sleeves hanging down to her calves swayed slightly with her movements, like the thin wings of a butterfly fluttering in the air current.

The skirt of the kimono is snow-white, revealing a bit of the edge of the undergarment, and the color gradually turns into a rich peach pink when it spreads to the hem.The wisteria pattern extending from the hem of the dress cleverly climbs and depicts the unique curves of women. The pattern is as elegant as clouds and flowing water, and the belt clearly binds her waistline.A hairpin with tassels was inserted between the girl's blond hair, and the pendant hung down to her neck, making her skin white and translucent.

Seeing the frozen moment, Lin Yuanxun subconsciously lowered his eyes, then slowly raised them to look at him.The shadow of the lamp blurred the flowing golden fire in her clear blue pupils.

It is the unique heartbeat that women bring to people when they wear kimonos.

"This Furisode kimono was chosen by my aunt. Jiao Dong, you usually wear a kimono when you first attain it, right? If I go with you in regular clothes, it seems a bit outrageous...Although I'm sorry, but I still had the cheek to borrow it..." Lin Yuanxun squeezed the corner of his sleeve in embarrassment, and asked cautiously after a two-second pause, "What do you think?"

Hong Jiaodong suddenly recovered from his trance.

"It's beautiful," he whispered.
