When the food reserves become my wife

New Year's Eve.

Just as I was braving the cold wind and squatting on the curb with a few half-grown children to light firecrackers, my 14-year-old cousin suddenly pulled my sleeve.

"What's the matter?" I flicked the windproof lighter in my hand and lit a stick of hygienic incense.

"Brother, it's so boring to just shoot cannons like this. Let's have some fun." The kid laughed, and suddenly became excited. The pimples on his face glowed red.

My intuition tells me that he will never come up with any good ideas.I turned my head to look at him, and said with a smile, "What do you want to play? I finally went home, and I was dragged by you to be friends with sex before my butt was hot. I said it before, play it, don't give it to me." I took it too far."

Hearing the word "friend with guns", the little cousin showed a connotative smile.He hurriedly ran to the top of the building, found a stick more than one meter long from nowhere, and then ran back to tie a bunch of monkeys to one end of the stick.

During the period, there were sporadic cannons, and I watched for a long time with my arms crossed, but I didn't understand what he was going to do, until after he was done, he pointed the end of the firecrackers at me.

I subconsciously raised my hands.

"So... you are going to bomb me? Isn't that right? It should be the two of us who are going to bomb me." After a few seconds of silence, I tentatively asked.

"Brother, you are in your twenties, and you are confronting me, a high school student. Don't you think you are bullying?" He giggled, and the little niece at the side immediately lit the fuse with incense.

After 3 minutes, the cousin couldn't bear it anymore and went downstairs, and shouted at us: "Fire the cannon, let it go, what the hell are you calling! It's you! Lin Xuqing!"

I was startled by her, and reflexively defended myself: "It's not me! I didn't! I didn't call...Ahhhhhhhh my clothes!"

The little cousin who accidentally burned a hole in my clothes: "..."

Facing my staring eyes that seemed to be eating people, my little cousin immediately threw the pole in his hand, and ran to the only cousin who could give him shelter here: "Help, sister!"

"You brat, don't hide! I promise I won't beat you to death!" Liao Chi bought this dress for me, and it burned a hole before wearing it a few times, and I was so angry that my head was smoking.The cousin hurriedly protected the cousin behind her, and began to talk to each other: "It's okay, okay, don't be angry when it's Chinese New Year, isn't it just burning a piece of clothing, if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come."

"It was given to me! It was given to me!" I continued to growl.

My cousin's eyes lit up with a swish, and I seemed to see the fire of gossip burning in it: "Give it to you? Who? Girlfriend?"

"No." I refused straight away, sighed confidently, took the hand of the little sister who was watching timidly, and said softly, "It's cold outside, shall we go inside first?"

The little niece nodded obediently, showing a smile with one tooth missing. I felt a lot better all of a sudden, and led a group of half-grown children into the house.

My family is Ding Xingwang. My grandmother gave birth to three sons and two daughters. My father is the second son.The third generation has a big age gap. The eldest brother and even the eldest daughter are six years old, while the youngest cousin is only fourteen.

Grandpa's house couldn't change clothes, so I took a picture of the hole in my skirt and sent it to Liao Chi: "My cousin fired a cannon and burned the clothes you bought for me..."

Liao Chi quickly replied: "It's okay."

"Go back and buy you a new one."

I always felt that something was wrong. At this time, my father in the kitchen poked his head out and shouted to me: "Don't just look down at your phone, help me set the chopsticks!"

"Okay." I gave up pondering, and hurriedly put the phone on the table in response, and took the chopsticks from my father.The cousin opened a bottle of Moutai, first went to smell it, and then wrinkled her nose and filled it with the adults in the family.

"You still smell if you don't know how to drink." I looked at her expression and was happy.

"What's wrong with Wenwen, you can't drink it and you're not allowed to smell it." She gave me a sideways look, then turned her head to tease the youngest son of my cousin's family who just turned one year old.

Our family ate at my grandfather's house and drank all the good wine that my father hid as a treasure. As an old fried dough stick that has been rampant in the wine market for many years, he usually hides wine and waits for the Chinese New Year to satisfy his addiction.Although I have seen all kinds of good wine with Liao Chi, I still blew the whole bottle unceremoniously, so that my dad finally saw me drunk and walked into the yard, and there was flesh in his eyes besides concern. pain.

In my dizziness, I miraculously went up the ladder smoothly to the roof and found a place to sit down.

The biting cold wind made me wake up a little bit, I took out my mobile phone and called Liao Chi, it took a long time to connect.

"Hello." The familiar voice was drowned in the noisy background, and there seemed to be nearly twenty more people than my family.A gust of cold wind blew, and the cold air poured down my neck along the collar. I shivered from the cold. I gasped and asked at the same time: "What are you doing?"

"I just finished eating and I was chatting." The noise on the other end of the phone gradually diminished, and soon disappeared. Liao Chi presumably went to find a secluded place.There were children setting off fireworks in front of the row of buildings. While I was watching, I was chatting with Liao Chi. I hadn't seen him for a day, and I actually missed him a little bit.

I was alcoholic, and my tongue was a bit sluggish, Liao Chi was keenly aware that I was too drunk, and told me not to forget to drink something sober up before going to bed, so as not to have a headache the next morning.

Ordinary people may run out of topics after chatting, but there has never been a situation where there is nothing to say between Liao Chi and me.I don't know how long we chatted until people came out of the house one after another with firecrackers. I didn't realize that it was almost twelve o'clock.

The first firecracker crackled and exploded far away. I stood up staggeringly, and raised the volume amidst the sound of the cannon: "Someone here is setting off the cannon."

"I heard it." Liao Chi paused: "Mr. Lian also came to ask me to go out."

I estimated the possibility that I could successfully get off the roof, and finally decided to obediently stay where I am.No one at home asked me to go out, probably because I was too drunk to move around.

The noise on the other end of the phone started again, the gunfire was so loud that I couldn't hear what Liao Chi said again.In the first minute of the new year, every household lit firecrackers, and my eardrums hurt from the shock. The bright fireworks in the sky exploded one after another, illuminating and dimming the night.Flickering back and forth.

In this situation where I couldn't even hear what I said, I waited quietly until a few minutes later, the thick smoke gradually dispersed and the world became quiet again.

"Happy New Year." I stood on the roof, put one hand in my pocket, and said to him looking at the thousands of lights in the distance.The cold wind mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke passed quickly, and the mouse demon passing by not far away glanced at me and walked away quietly.This is the night of the new moon closest to spring, and the Taoist priests have all gone home for the New Year, so the little demons with low mana no longer have to be wary of them all the time.

"Happy New Year," Liao Chi chuckled, and his deep and hoarse voice came to my ears from south to north through most of the territory: "In the new year, I will continue to love you."

I looked into the distance, and the memories of getting along with Liao Chi flashed in my heart. The two have known each other for less than a year, but I always feel that it has been a long time. I have a lot of thoughts for a while, so I can only whisper reverently into the microphone. :"Me too."

Liao Chi laughed over there: "Well, I know. Are you going to bed now?"

I stroked the ring on my index finger with my thumb—because neither of them planned to make their relationship public yet, so I changed it to my unmarried index finger when I got home.

"Not for now, I'm still at grandpa's house, and my dad is playing mahjong, so I might have to wait a while before I can go back." I changed my posture and sat cross-legged, tightening my collar, "What about you?"

"I have to wait a while." Liao Chi said helplessly: "My grandfather always wants to introduce someone to me, and his ears are almost callused from being talked about tonight."

I laughed unkindly, and Liao Chi said again: "Don't laugh, you will know when you reach my age."

"Impossible." I retorted straight away, "We'll make it public in two years. By then, no one will introduce me to a partner. If I have two children, hey, I won't even have to gossip."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Although I couldn't see it, I could imagine Liao Chi's doting eyes when he said this, and he became more and more satisfied.After chatting for a while, Mr. Liao Lian called Liao Chi away because of something. I hung up the phone and looked through the address book. I wanted to call Gu Chuan to say hello, but I thought that at this time, their group of patients should be gathering to watch the Spring Festival Gala , he couldn't touch the phone, so he gave up and called Jin Ning.

The little girl picked up the phone almost instantly, and it seemed that she hadn't left her phone all night.

"Happy New Year, baby Jinning." After living in her house for such a long time, I deeply realized the cold-hearted nature of Jinning's face, and I didn't pay much attention to my words. Sometimes I would call Gu Chuan like a joke. Jin Ningquan pretended not to hear her when she called out "little baby", because she didn't know as much as us.

Jin Ning hummed lightly. I don't know if it was because of the soft moonlight, but I thought her voice was surprisingly soft: "Happy New Year."

I was bewitched by this rare tenderness in a hundred years, my brain twitched, and I asked: "What time is it, are you still asleep?"

"The parents of this body haven't come back, the servants have gone back, there's no one at home, I'm going to play games all night." Jin Ning stated the bitter fact flatly, as if the protagonist wasn't her: "It just so happened yesterday that Steam was on sale. , Bought a lot of games."

This one who celebrates Chinese New Year... I felt a choke in my throat, thinking that the Jin family couple are really impersonal. They don't know how to go home to accompany their children during the Chinese New Year, so I had no choice but to say: "Well, take it easy. If you feel bored, I can call you." Telephone."

"How is that possible." She laughed out loud, "Okay, I'm going to play games, hang up."

After calling a few old friends to pay New Year's greetings, I have long been frozen into a real fool.My head was not so dizzy, I reckoned that I should be able to go down by myself, rubbed my hands, climbed tremblingly down the roof, and went inside to warm up.

The elderly and the children all went back to sleep, my father was the only one left in the living room, my second uncle was playing mahjong with my cousin's parents, and my cousin was squinting on the sofa and reading novels on her phone.I was a little sleepy, so I greeted my mother who was watching the battle, and after learning that they were going to fight all night, I went home by myself, cooked some hangover soup according to Liao Chi's instructions, and fell asleep.
