I really don't want to read

"No."

"Neither do I."

"Where's the steamed small yellow croaker for Tuan Tuan?"

"Say it earlier, I've already eaten one."

"Meow?"

......

A small family, with three people and one cat plus the joyful songs and laughter on the TV, should be no less lively than other families, full of joy and warmth of the New Year.

Soon, the coffee table was filled with steaming dishes.

Roast Chicken.

Steamed sea bass.

Ginger shredded pork.

Assorted cured meat with secret dipping sauce.

Snow pea trotter soup.

Stir-fry water spinach.

There is also a small dish of candied papaya.

In fact, Lin Xiaoxian's hands were itchy from cooking, and he wanted to make a few more dishes, but unfortunately, there are only three mouths in the house, and not all dishes can be kept in the refrigerator for a week like a cured meat platter, so if you make too much, you can't finish it.

"cheers!"

As the three glasses clinked together, a classic song played on the TV.

Although the word-of-mouth of the Spring Festival Gala has been declining year by year, people like Lin Xiaoxian will feel that something is almost wrong if the TV does not show the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year, or the sound of the Spring Festival Gala does not ring in their ears.

So whether you read it or not, whether it looks good or not, you still have to click on it.

The opening song and dance show is generally ignored by no one. The three of Lin Xiaoxian ate happily to the music. The two pig's trotters were soft and fragrant, and the flesh and blood separated when they were lightly skimmed. Mu Changqing ate one by himself. Half.

And Xiaoshu stared at the candied papaya persistently and gnawed, almost choking.

Lin Xiaoxian ate sea bass slowly, and Tuantuan squatted at his feet to eat small yellow croaker, but looked up at the coffee table from time to time, always suspecting that Lin Xiaoxian's one was better than his own.

"Xiaoxian, why is there pepper in the pig's trotter soup..." Mu Changqing frowned suddenly, and tugged at Lin Xiaoxian.

"Oh, maybe it was thrown away when the fish was removed, and it was not cleaned."

"Ah... so uncomfortable..."

"what happened?"

Auntie blinked her eyes uncomfortably, twisted her expression strangely twice, and rubbed her forehead on Lin Xiaoxian's shoulder and hummed.

"The prickly ash shell is stuck to the base of my tongue... I can't get it out..."

"..."

Well, this one is really uncomfortable.

In the southwestern region where pepper is often eaten, it should be said that there is no one who has not had such an experience. With the help of saliva, the pepper shell will be adsorbed very tightly, just like a ruler dropped on a smooth ground, it is difficult to remove.

"You dig it?"

"No, go in too deep, you'll spit."

Mu Changqing gulped water and swallowed a mouthful of white rice, but it was useless, and he was about to die of anxiety:

"Xiaoxian, help me quickly."

"? How can I help?"

My aunt didn't know either, but she was used to having trouble finding her nephew, she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and rolled her eyes:

"Suck it out for me?"

"You stick to it forever."

Lin Xiaoxian didn't want to talk to this idiot and continued to eat fish.

243 No need

It seems that not many people care about the custom of keeping the year old.

If children or young people in the family say they want to watch the year, they are mostly just making excuses for staying up late or staying up all night.

This year's Spring Festival Gala was unexpectedly not very boring. It was rare that there were several wonderful language programs. After eating happily, the three of Lin Xiaoxian gathered in front of the stove to eat melon seeds and share snacks.

"Hello? Teacher Du, I'm Lin Xiaoxian, happy new year..."

"Happy New Year, Uncle Li! I'm Lin Xiaoxian, why don't you ask Uncle to be kinder..."

"Mr. Wang, I wish you a more beautiful and more beautiful New Year, more and more...Hello? Hello?"

Lin Xiaoxian looked at the phone puzzledly:

"This Wang Xinyi is so weird..."

"Brother, you are the weird one." Lin Xiaoshu and Mu Changqing looked at him with a smile.

"What's wrong with me?"

"I feel like you are a good society. I will call every teacher after the new year."

"Uh... just make it a habit. Anyway, if you work in the future, especially in state-owned enterprises and public institutions, you will call your leaders and colleagues."

"So you are very social."

After Lin Xiaoxian finished calling the teachers, he continued to call the homes of Su Yuan and Gu Xiaoyan, mainly their parents.

"Hello, Uncle Gu!"

"Hello, Aunt Han!"

Of course it would be inconvenient for Zhou Aimin, it would be too abrupt.

......

Soon it was 0 o'clock. After a stage play of opera, all the actors sang together again, and then there was a light outside, and with the sound of "咻", gorgeous fireworks exploded in the distant sky.

"Brother, someone fired a cannon."

"Where?"

The three of them went to the balcony together. Judging from the distance, they should be within the second ring road. I don't know which family is so strong. Maybe they will be punished tomorrow.

But whether to punish or not is someone else's business. The fireworks are at least very beautiful. There are two faint red lanterns on the balcony, reflecting each other with the fireworks in the sky.

"ah!"

"elder brother!"

Two soft exclamations sounded at the same time, Mu Changqing and Lin Xiaoshu felt their shoulders heat up, Lin Xiaoxian spread his wings, hugged one in each of his left and right arms, and hugged the three of them together.

"Happy New Year."

He smiled, and gave her a kiss on the forehead of his sister. Lin Xiaoshu liked his brother's kiss like this, it was the same as when he was a child, it would make her feel at ease.

Even though he is not able to grow up with his parents like ordinary families, Lin Xiaoshu has never felt that he lacks care and love because of his elder brother. Even because his elder brother spoils him too much sometimes, he will be a little happier than his peers Feel.

"Happy New Year."

Lin Xiaoxian also said to his aunt, who gave a hum, then raised her head from his arms, her eyes sparkling, and she looked very witty:

"Xiaoxian, I guess you won't kiss me, right?"

"Still guessing?"

"All right..."

She knew that Xiuting's nose wrinkled slightly, and when she was about to lower her head, she felt a warm touch on her forehead, and raised her head in shock, but Lin Xiaoxian had already turned her head, and continued to look at the fireworks in the distance.

A sweet throbbing passed through his heart, Mu Changqing didn't say anything, his face blushed, he just pressed his body a little closer to him, and then said in unison with Lin Xiaoshu:

"Happy New Year."

......

---------

This New Year's Eve is quite special to Lin Xiaoxian.

Because strictly speaking, this is the second time he has spent this year's Spring Festival.

Although there are many differences, it is embarrassing for the calendar to be placed there.

It may be for this reason that he made an exception and allowed Mu Changqing to come and sleep with him and Lin Xiaoshu tonight, but only if the quilt was separated.

He and Lin Xiaoshu built a bed, and Mu Changqing built a bed by himself.

Although the chest murder happened strangely early the next morning, at least Mu Changqing's posture was restricted, and he was much more disciplined than when he sneaked up.

......

The morning activity on the first day of junior high school is to climb mountains and worship temples.

The Lin family didn't choose to go to places like Qingcheng Mountain, it was too crowded, and there were a lot of headhunters who had already gone up the mountain on New Year's Eve.

So they found a place called Qingfeng Mountain near Rongcheng.

One word is different, but the number of tourists is insignificant.

However, I don’t know if many people have this idea. Although there are many people who climb Qingfeng Mountain today, there are not a few people who climb Qingfeng Mountain today. Any more will cause a blockage.

Along the way, my aunt and sister never stopped talking, except for the candy dried beans stuffed in their bags from home, and those selling candied haws, hot and sour noodles, mutton skewers, and Liangpi on the mountain. Jelly Marshmallows of...

In short, there are all kinds of snacks with bells and whistles.

The two girls made their little mouths greasy, and ran around without any regard for their appearance, and Lin Xiaoxian had to chase after them to wipe their mouths.

"It's not clean! It won't work when I pray to Buddha later!"

"Ah? Buddha forgive...we didn't mean to..."

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the two became obedient.

Especially Mu Changqing, maybe every elder in the family believes in these things. My aunt, who has always been thrifty, put a whole 200 yuan in the merit box of the Daxiong Palace, saying that an even number is more auspicious or something.

Not only that, but when I was going down the mountain, I met a fortune teller on the mountainside, who was the kind who relied on his mouth to make a living. Mu Changqing specially gave him 20 yuan to ask him for a fortune teller.

"Auntie, feudal superstition is not acceptable!" Lin Xiaoxian reminded her solemnly.

"It's not that exaggerated, I'll just listen to it for a while, you go and rest first..."

Mu Changqing came to the booth of the fortune teller

"What's a girl..." The fortune teller stroked his beard, while Lin Xiaoxian and Lin Xiaoshu sat on chairs far away to watch, discussing whether his goatee was glued on or not.

"Calculate... the fortune of the family."

"Do you want actuarial or big calculation?"

"Big...garlic?"

"The actuarial calculation is calculated on everyone's head, and there is an extra money, [-] per person. The big calculation is the family's luck."

It's not that Mu Changqing is reluctant to part with money in this regard, but that he doesn't dare to make calculations and doesn't want to hear bad things:

"Big deal!"

The fortune teller gave a faint "tsk" when he heard the words:

"Okay... how many people in the family..."

"3."

"Living together for a long time?"

"No, I'm usually overseas and usually come back after Chinese New Year."

"Um..."

Then the fortune-teller asked about the horoscope of the birthday, the relationship between family members, and so on. He rummaged through his fingers twice, fiddled with two copper coins and turtle shells, and even took out a book to rummage through.

"oops..."
