It was almost noon when Dad came back from walking the dog. As soon as he entered the door, he took out a big red envelope from the inside pocket of his jacket, handed it to Li Xin, and said that this is your lucky money, you can't think too little.
Li Xin shied away for a while, and at my instigation, Li Xin put it away in embarrassment. She was moved and thanked her father a thousand times. Li Xin said that growing up so big, she rarely received red envelopes, let alone such a large one. In order to stand on the same line as Li Xin, I beat my head and said that I had never received a red envelope when I grew up. My father looked at me and smiled, and my mother gave me supercilious looks.
I have been away from home for the past few years, and the taste of home only occasionally appears in my dreams. The whole family talked and laughed together, occasionally made a harmless joke, and got together to have a potluck. This is the best feeling.
My mother said that if a red pepper is wrapped in the dumplings on the first day of the new year, whoever eats it will be prosperous this year.
I said that it would be better to wrap a steel coin directly, and if you eat it, it will be a lot of money. My mother said that this was mostly the case in the past few years, but it was not hygienic, and it would be perfect to wrap a red pepper.
Dad excitedly went to the kitchen to find a few dried peppers, washed them and wrapped them himself.
When eating, everyone is scrambling to get the biggest dumplings, but in all fairness, I don¡¯t want to eat red pepper dumplings. I want my dad or mom to eat them more. I hope I¡¯m not with my parents. Days, they can still be safe and healthy.
The last one to eat the dumplings with chili peppers was Dad. He was sweating profusely from the hot peppers, and he opened his mouth and slapped him violently, which was quite funny.
Li Xin saw that his father was so hot that he couldn't stand it, so he hurried to the coffee table to bring some water, and I saw that my mother's eyes were full of approval.
I laughed and asked my dad if he marked the dumplings he made, otherwise he could eat them easily. Dad stared at me and scolded me, "When did you meet dad? What kind of person did you say?" ?
"That's really hard to say. Who secretly changed the chess pieces during the Chinese New Year last year?" I made a joke on purpose.
"You kid is too crazy. This year, I fought with a bunch of old men in the square. Your father and I rarely have opponents!" Dad bragged again at the right time.
"Let's have a competition after eating!" I said.
Dad is the kind of straightforward person. At this time, the food was already in place. He immediately put down his chopsticks to compete with me, and hurriedly started to play chess.
I read earlier that "Father and son don't play chess". After all, the two sides of the Chu River and the Han Dynasty are fighting, and father and son should not compete for superiority. But Dad is the kind of open-minded person who doesn't care about these things. In order to make Dad happy, I will not back down.
I have to say that my father's chess skills have not only failed to improve, but have regressed in my opinion.
After about 20 or 30 moves, I gained the upper hand. After the two horses crossed the river, they led a series of generals and broke my father's many chess pieces, which made the old man blow his beard and stare.
? After dinner, Li Xin followed his mother to work in the kitchen, and my father sat cross-legged on the sofa and asked me, "You and Li Xin?"
"We are just ordinary friends, not what you think!" I casually explained another general.
Dad took the opportunity to kill me, stared at me and said, "You all live together, or are you just friends?"
"That's because there is no way to go home, so you can't let me play the floor?"
"Our house has a lot of beds, bedding, etc., don't say you don't know!"
"I really don't know this!"
"I think the girl is pretty good. Your boy is not too young, so you can't be too picky!" My father got out of his "car" and chased after my "horse".
What Dad thought was a good move was actually a move that was so stinky that it couldn't be any more stinky. I overturned the mountain and killed Dad's "car" directly. Dad asked to regret the game, I smiled and regretted a move. If it was before last year, I would definitely not give up.
"Dad, it's really not that your son has high vision. He really hasn't developed to that level. Besides, look at the cars he drives and the clothes he wears. What capital does your son have to pick and choose?" ?¡±
"It's the truth. When we're old enough to talk about marriage, we need to consider things that should be considered. While your mother and I are in good health, I'll take care of the children for you. When we are old and can't even take care of ourselves, who Help you take care of the child!" Dad said and made another stupid move.
"Marriage can't be rushed, it depends on fate, so don't worry about it!" I said backhand, and my father's other "car" was swallowed by me.
"You kid is taking advantage of others!" Dad refused to accept.
I smiled and said that I was a chess genius, and suddenly remembered the years when I was in college, the genius was at that time "keep your ears off the window, and only focus on chessOnly then did I learn a lot of killer moves. I don¡¯t know if my dad would be so angry that I vomited blood if he knew that my college life was like this?
? I won the first set very lightly, but in the second set I deliberately let the water go, and it was only then that my dad struggled to get back.
At this time, Li Xin had already finished working in the kitchen, and after only two days of getting along, Li Xin and his mother had already gotten along well, and they had reached the point where they talked about everything. I accidentally heard Li Xin say that my stomach hurts during my menstrual period, and my mother smiled and comforted me and said that after you give birth, you won't have to suffer from that kind of pain anymore.
Li Xin was not as shy as I imagined, she even talked openly with her mother about the topic of women, and my father and I restarted the game, but our ears listened to their soft conversation intentionally or unintentionally.
My mother said that when she got married, the dowry was only a 28 bicycle and a wooden box. Li Xin was very surprised when she heard that. With Li Xin's living conditions, she absolutely cannot imagine the poverty of her life back then.
After chatting for a while, my mother asked Li Xin, "Xiao Xin, what do you think of Feng Tang?"
"I like to show off, and I got drunk and passed out several times!" Li Xin said bluntly.
I heard it secretly, and I shouted nonsense in my heart. With my drinking capacity, I rarely meet opponents in the five northwestern provinces. How could it be possible to lose consciousness?
"Feng Tang!" My mother called me and said, "Xiaoxin said that you are always drunk, is there such a thing?"
"How is it possible, you don't know your son well, you drink more than you eat!" I replied to my mother with a smile.
"I'm ashamed to say you are such an adult. You must know how to take care of yourself outside. If there is no Xiaoxin to take care of you in Xi'an, I can't imagine how you live alone. Mom still expects you to take care of yourself. You are stupid What about me and your dad?"
Facing my mother's education, I said hey to accept it. After turning my head, I pondered, too many times I have ignored my identity, I can not travel alone, I still have a wish to grow old with my parents.
Mom and Li Xin chatted in full swing, dad held up the chess piece in his hand and said, "Xiao Xin finally came here once, Feng Tang, you go out with Xiao Xin, anyway, there is enough time, you can go to Zhenbei Fort, Let's go to the film and television city or something!"
"Okay!" As long as I don't put water in Dad's stinky chess basket, I am willing to do anything that is tiring.
"Auntie and uncle, why don't we go together, it will be lively if there are many people." Li Xin said.
Dad was very sensible: "You young people go out to play, it is not suitable for us to follow, and besides, there must be no one at home. Wouldn't it be impolite to have relatives come to pay New Year's greetings!"
I know my dad said that relatives' New Year greetings are just excuses, he must want to leave enough space for Li Xin and me. Judging from the two days of getting along, the two elders are absolutely satisfied with Li Xin. I think what they are thinking now is whether their son Feng Tang is worthy of the beautiful and sensible Li Xin?
Li Xin said along the way that his mother was fun, like a child. I know Li Xin is telling the truth, and this kind of result is what I want to see the most.
It didn't take long for us to arrive in the city. Yinchuan has been developing rapidly in recent years. The old city is much better than the previous years. Needless to say, the new city has eight lanes and many tall buildings, which is really good.
To be honest, I have a lot of affection for Yinchuan. There are too many childhood playmates in this city. There are iron magnets from elementary school to high school. The salary level is high and the consumption is moderate. Bigger, the rest of the seasons are always blue sky and white clouds, the air quality is so good, nowhere is it like Xi'an, pm2.5 is always off the charts, it feels depressing to think about it.
If I didn¡¯t meet the wrong person at the wrong time, I might live in Yinchuan after graduation. Yinchuan is close to home, and I can see my parents for an hour at most. Unlike living in Xi¡¯an, the only time I can have a long talk with my parents is during the Chinese New Year. These two days.
I took Li Xin to eat skewers in Xinhua Street and took pictures in Nanmen Square.
?Suddenly remembered that in the summer of 2008, Tang Xiaoyun and I took photos in Nanmen Square like this. We went to Forest Park, the Aiyi River that passes through Yinchuan City, and we went to the Yinchuan Convention and Exhibition Center to watch the auto show
Time flies, and everything has changed beyond recognition. I don't want to go to those places with Li Xin again, and I don't want those deep past events to be revealed again.
According to my father's suggestion, I took Li Xin to Zhenbeibao Film and Television City. I think the new year should have a new look, and be prosperous in the new life, this is the attitude that a very high profile should have. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
