Sad autumn

Clear everything up. "(Come here! Liangliang, clean up the things on the table.)

The eldest uncle and Fang Liang hurriedly moved the shredded jellyfish and honey quail to the side, the big casserole fell on the heat insulation pad, the lid was lifted, and there were small bubbles rolling in a big pot of pickled winter bamboo shoots, little aunt Sprinkled chopped scallions on the soup, Doudou yelled: "Mom, what a mess of so many scallions!" (Mom, what are you doing with so many scallions!)

The little aunt blinked and walked away.The little uncle frowned, skimmed off some chopped green onion with a spoon, and said, "Good tut, good tut, let's eat."

Fang Liang said: "Ah? Is there any shrimp left?" (Ah? Isn't there still shrimp or something?)

The eldest uncle laughed and said, "Wait, Duomo Yanggong has finished grinding the silk, the Spring Festival Gala is coming to an end." (Wait for them to dawdle, the Spring Festival Gala will be over.)

Grandma said: "I said I'll do it, um, there are two families but Falken." (I said I'd do it, but the two of them refused.)

Doudou said: "Auntie cooks at home. Mom, this is the first time a big girl got married."

The little uncle said: "Nang Bang is a gossip. If you want to talk about it, it's about drinking old wine on the first day of the new year. It's the first time."

Doudou took a bite of the chicken leg, and fell silent. Tuchun smiled, but made no noise, and handed her a spoonful of hot soup. Doudou took a sip, stuck out her tongue, and put Tuchun's empty bowl in front of her.Everyone was serving soup, and the little aunt and the eldest aunt were still busy in the kitchen. Tuchun saw that there were two vacant places on the right hand side of him, so he also copied soup into these two empty bowls.Grandma suddenly asked him: "Jasmine naan is coming?" (Why didn't Jasmine come?)

The table was quiet, and the sound of drinking soup became much quieter. Doudou looked at Tuchun eagerly, and Tuchun said, "Mother is going on a trip."

Fang Liang gently put down the spoon, spoke Mandarin, and said, "Your mother really wants to wear it."

Wang Qi was tearing up the meat of the sauced duck and feeding it to the children in bibs, and asked Tuchun, "Where did you go to be chic?"

Tuchun said: "I went to Fujian, and some of their little sisters formed a group."

Having said that, Tu Qing came out of the toilet, followed by a young woman holding a half-grown baby in her arms.Doudou bowed to Tuchun, she gnawed on the spicy chicken wings until her mouth was full of oil, she rolled her eyes cleverly, and whispered to Tuchun, "Brother Haohao, your brother, my brother."

Tu Chunjiao glared at her, Doudou made a grimace, shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat her KFC.The little uncle put on a straight face and said, "That's good, eat less! In Chenguang's face, the beans will grow rotten, and the naan will cry." (Okay, you Eat less! Then you will have pimples on your face again, and you will cry again.)

Doudou poked his neck back: "Who asked you to help me come up with a nickname? Well, it's called Doudou! The person lives up to his name, you know?"

Fang Liang and Wang Qi both laughed, and the children laughed along with the adults, clapping their hands on the table, it was very lively.Tu Qing passed behind Tu Chun, and the two looked at each other and nodded.

"Come on," Tu Qing said.

"Yeah." Tuchun said, "Bang yum duo kao ba two bowls of soup, salted and fresh."

The woman also walked behind him, and the two were very close. Tuchun clearly saw the baby in her arms. The baby's hands and feet were wrinkled, his head was red, and his head was limp. Soft lanugo, like a little mouse.He was fast asleep.

Tuchun and the woman also nodded.The woman said, "Thank you, tsk."

Tu Qing opened the chair for her, the woman sat down, looked at everyone, and smiled: "Sorry, I can do it, and I called Ah Qing to help, Haohao, why don't you eat? Nah." (Sorry, I'm not very good at it, so I called Ah Qing to help, since Haohao is also here, let's eat.)

Grandma smiled and said: "Ah, I came here to wait, mainly because my two daughters fiddled with each other for a long time to get it out." (Not waiting for you, mainly because my two daughters have been working for a long time Nothing came out.)

Doudou kicked Tuchun, buried her head in biting the corn, Tuchun picked up shredded jellyfish with chopsticks, but no one answered, the eldest aunt shouted sharply, "It's so good! It's vinegar!!" ( No, this is vinegar!)

The little aunt's voice was louder, overshadowing the range hood, and also overshadowing the big aunt: "Sweet and sour pork ribs must be square and crooked!" (Sweet and sour pork ribs must be vinegared!)

"Didn't Jasmine say to put the vinegar later!" (Didn't Jasmine say to put the vinegar later?)

"Ah? What time is it? Let me check WeChat." (Ah? When did you say that? Show me WeChat.)

The little uncle cleared his throat and poured Tu Qing a glass of white wine.The woman looked at Tuchun with a smile, and asked, "Haohao, do you want some old wine?" (Does Haohao want some wine?)

Her Suzhou dialect was waxy, and Tu Chun said, "I'm not very good at drinking."

Tu Qing poured a cup of Dong Brew for Tu Chun, and said, "Have some Dong Brew."

The woman looked into the kitchen and said, "If you want to see Xiao Ning, I'll cook it." (If you don't want to bring a child, I'll cook it.)

Doudou kicked Tuchun again, Tuchun patted his trouser leg, drank Dongniang wine, and did not make a sound.Tu Qing said: "Lulu cooks some side dishes that are very tasty, Georg Tig." (Lulu cooks pretty well and is very capable.)

Doudou said: "Then uncle, your food is really good, grandma, Brother Haohao's cooking is delicious."

The little uncle patted her hard: "What about KFC? Eat up, let's go watch TV!" (You are also full of KFC, go watch TV!)

Doudou said: "I'm going to watch TV, this soup is so salty, you can drink it."

After finishing speaking, she ran to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and ate egg yolk and peanuts with relish.

Fang Liang smiled at his little uncle and toasted him: "Now the children can't control it anymore."

"Well, it's just a mouth! I'm dying of old age!" the little uncle sighed. (She just opened her mouth! She is especially good at stalking people!)

Fang Liang said, "The homework is pretty good, isn't it?"

He ate a piece of dried duck gizzard, and when his children saw it, they wanted to eat it too. They raised their necks and grabbed his hands and mouth.

The little uncle said: "It's pretty good, eh?"

Fang Liang smiled: "We are still so young."

The eldest uncle said: "My comrades-in-arms, Xiao Xiaoning, are so old, they have already started early education." (The children of my comrades-in-arms are also about the same age, and they have already started early education.)

The little uncle spoke Mandarin: "I don't want my child to lose at the starting line."

Fang Liang patted his son's head, and said, "It's still the age to play. I'd rather he mess around at home. What about the starting line? The level of Wang Qian and I is not so bad for children."

Wang Qi said, "Anyway, you're not at home." She looked at her uncle and said, "What school is Doudou planning to take?"

The little uncle said: "Let's do whatever she wants. If you come out after reading the book, you will be a friend. After more than ten years of reading, it will become a waste of time."

Wang Qi said, "Just don't have a baby anytime soon."

"We don't care, and the man's place doesn't work either." The little uncle said, "It's better to learn from a foreigner. If you are raised, you can go out and live by yourself. I don't care about you."

The eldest uncle said: "What are you talking about? Nang, I'm so ruthless. It's a girl." (After all, I still can't be ruthless. It's a girl.)

Fang Liang sat leaning back, put one arm on Wang Qian's shoulder, and said, "There are also foreigners who have been raised since childhood, and there are also those who have clothes to stretch out their hands to eat and mouths to eat."

As soon as his voice fell, the eldest aunt came out to serve again, sweet and sour pork ribs, the gravy sauce hooked on the ribs seemed to be covered with mud, she said: "Doudou is very smart, unlike us, until now , grandma, and daddy won’t say anything.”

Fang Liang said, "Teach Suzhou dialect slowly."

The child seemed to understand what he said, and grabbed Wang Qi's hair and shouted, "Mom, Mom..."

The eldest aunt rolled her eyes and said, "It's the golden time for children to learn languages!"

The eldest uncle gave her some smoked fish, and said: "Eat something, I am so busy, what should I eat?"

The eldest aunt ate the fish, glanced at Fang Liang and Wang Qian, turned and walked away.Tu Qing said: "We are also planning to teach Suzhou dialect from the beginning."

Lulu nodded in agreement: "Yes, Suzhou dialect is very nice." She looked at Wang Qian, "I also think Chongqing dialect is pretty nice, and I want to learn it."

Grandma can speak Putonghua, and she spoke in a cadence, she said: "You are quite motivated."

Tu Qing put food for grandma: "Spare ribs, mom, eat."

Lulu smiled, but said nothing.Tuchun drank Koudong brewed wine, licked his lips, and fled to the yard to eat cigarettes.

After half a cigarette was burned, Fang Liang also came out. He took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, and said to Tuchun, "I'm about to suffocate."

Both of them smiled wryly, Fang Liang also lit a cigarette, exhaled twice, and asked Tu Chun, "How are you and Gu Yun doing lately?"

"Long time no contact."

Fang Liang said, "Ah, I'm afraid of embarrassment, or your mother doesn't want you to be embarrassed."

"That's not true, my mother is quite open-minded."

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

Tuchun reached out and touched a dead bamboo leaf stretched out on his shoulder. He felt a little damp, and the bamboo leaf was a little dirty.Tuchun didn't ring.

Fang Liang said: "I see that her circle of friends has been visiting famous mountains, asking Buddha, is she usually a vegetarian? Then you probably won't be able to get along with her."

Tuchun looked at him: "No, didn't she eat fish and meat the day we met?"

Fang Liang suddenly said, "Oh, that's right." He added, "In the future, when my son sees your brother, he will call him uncle."

Tuchun coughed, waved his hands and said, "Do you want to talk about it?" (Don't talk about it.)

Fang Liang took a look into the room and said, "I'm thinking about grandma's mouth, it's poisonous." (I didn't expect grandma's mouth to be so poisonous.)

Tuchun said: "I heard that Jasmine Ge Chenguang helped Dad to take a fancy to Ge." (It is said that Jasmine was picked by her at that time.)

Fang Liang said: "Ah? That's right, I heard from my mother that Ge Chenguang's father is a college student, my grandmother is very supportive, and my little girl is very sensible, so I will burn it, ah Daddy agrees, and the daughter-in-law, Ningfu, will buy and burn Flezig, so it happens that someone introduced Jasmine, um, Qiaohe..."

(Ah? No, I heard from my mother that at that time your father had a college student, and the grandmother was very supportive, and the girls were quite sensible, but they couldn’t cook, etc. My father disagreed, saying that women I can’t do it without buying vegetables, cooking rice, and washing clothes. Someone just introduced Jasmine, she is very capable...)

"When you put it that way, it sounds a bit like a big feudal family." Tu Chun spoke Mandarin in an orderly manner.

Fang Liang said: "Feudalism harms Ning, look at it..." (Feudalism harms people, look now...)

He looked into the room and said, "But it must pass, ah, it is to seek benevolence and get benevolence."

Tuchun smiled: "Please be young." He followed to look at the dining table, the eldest aunt and the younger aunt were seated, the elders at the table were either drinking or eating vegetables, and the two young girls were all there Coax the children.Tuchun said: "Ah, it's pretty good, Ni Niang... ah, it's pretty good." (It's also pretty good, my mother is also living quite comfortably.)

At this moment, Doudou came over and knocked on the window. Holding a bowl of eight-treasure rice in her hand, she opened the door and stood at the door, "You want to eat eight-treasure rice?"

Fang Liang threw down the cigarette butt and said, "Quickly close the door, it's freezing to death."

He got into the house, Doudou squeezed out, changed the outdoor slippers, and said to Tuchun: "I don't think you have eaten anything, don't worry, I made this, much better than my mother."

Tuchun sat on a stone stool, and Doudou put the bowl on the stone table. She put on her overcoat and scarf, rubbed her left foot against her right, and pouted her chin towards the glass cabinet in the living room. Tu Chun said: "Nothing happened again."

Tuchun put down the cigarette on the table, took two mouthfuls of eight-treasure rice, and said, "Go in, I'll go in later."

Doudou sat across from him, and the smoke was blown to the ground by a slight breeze. Tuchun bent down to pick it up, only to hear Doudou say: "Grandma has put out everything in the photos again."

Tuchun straightened his waist and said, "Grandma didn't say anything?"

"say what?"

"You engage in feudal superstition."

"Grandma must also believe it!"

"Then have you seen Dad?"

Doudou snorted and turned away.The two of them sat for a while, they were both a little cold, and when they went back into the house, Tuchun ate another half bowl of eight-treasure rice, sat with Doudou to watch the Spring Festival Gala, played ghost cards, Doudou was unlucky and lost everything, Tuchun's face was covered with sticky notes, but she refused to admit defeat and became more courageous as she fought. After winning two sets in a row, Tuchun's face had two big crosses painted with lipstick.

Doudou won the third game and was so happy that he was shaking with laughter. The third fork on Tuchun's face seemed to be two earthworms.

The little uncle couldn't see it, and said, "That's great! What kind of accent does it look like!" (Okay! What does it look like!)

Tuchun said: "It's okay, it's Chinese New Year, it's fun."

Doudou stuck out her tongue at her uncle, "Come again!"

The eldest aunt said: "Your face is so beautiful, let's take a family portrait!" (Go wash off your face, let's take a family portrait!)

Doudou said: "Let's shoot like this." She also went to encourage Grandma, "Grandma, look at Brother Haohao's shooting like this, okay? It's so lively."

Tuchun took advantage of the situation to make a grimace, and the grandma smiled and nodded repeatedly: "It's so good, it's pretty good, the filming of the naan is ready."

Tu Qing said: "Mom..."

Grandma said: "Happy Chinese New Year, um duo little Chenguang, eh duo daddy, the face was painted by um duo, so it's so cute, eh duo, don't be too happy." When you were young, didn’t your dad’s face be painted by you, don’t be too happy.)

Fang Liang set up the tripod and camera, and greeted Tuchun: "Tuchun, come here."

Tuchun walked to the dinner table, and everyone laughed when they saw him, and no one mentioned washing his face.The eldest aunt clapped her hands and organized everyone to stand. Grandma sat in the middle of the front row, and her son, daughter and son-in-law sat next to her, and a group of juniors lined up at the back. Lulu stood beside Tuchun with her child in her arms. The child suddenly made a fuss while taking pictures. It was very powerful, struggling hard in Lulu's arms, Lulu handed the child to Tuqing, the child immediately became obedient and stopped crying, Tuqing said to his little aunt flatteredly, "Look, it's my son." (Look, it's my son after all.)

Doudou turned her head and said to Tuchun, "My brother is so good at getting stuck at such a young age."

Tuchun said softly: "Okay..."

The eldest aunt shouted: "Three two one, eggplant!"

Doudou pointed a finger in front of her eyes, imitating cross-eyed.Tuchun couldn't hold back and laughed.

Later, everyone ran out to set off fireworks and watch the fireworks. Fang Liang set up a tripod to take extended exposure fireworks. Doudou cooperated with him and took the trouble to write with a burning dog tail in front of the camera.After eleven o'clock, there were fewer colorful fireworks and more firecrackers. Wang Qian and Lulu covered their children's ears and hid in the house. Tuchun followed. Wipe those picture frames in the glass case.The Spring Festival Gala was still on, and it was getting more and more lively outside. He couldn't hear what the row of hosts were saying at all.

The clock in the upper right corner of the screen has jumped to 11:59.

Wang Qi yawned, the child lay on her shoulders, eyes drooping and closing, Wang Qi sat down on the sofa, kissed his cheek, and said, "Sleep, baby, sleep."

She hummed softly to the child.

Lulu looked at her and walked towards the French windows. She protected the back of the child's head and looked outside.

A cluster of fireworks illuminated her figure.

Tuchun ate a black sesame crisp candy, salty and sweet in his mouth, he twisted the candy wrapper, it was twelve o'clock, for a moment, the world was extremely quiet, only Wang Qian's lullaby echoed in Tuchun's ears, but at this moment It was fleeting, and the next moment, it was crackling, bouncing, and the sky seemed to be blown open.

Tuchun went to the bathroom to call Shao Zhen, the phone got through, and he asked him: "What are you doing?"

"watching TV."

"You still up?"

Shao Zhen smiled: "How can I receive your call when I'm asleep?"

Tuchun said, "Happy New Year."

Shao Zhen didn't think about it, Tuchun said, "I miss you very much."

"Oh."

"I'm coming over now."

He opened the door and went out, greeted everyone in the house, put on his overcoat, shoes, and scarf, and hurriedly passed through the relatives in front of the door, through the fiery trees, silver flowers, and smoky clouds, he heard someone Called him, he didn't look back, he ran up, and at night, ran into the car and drove to Shao Zhen's house.

According to the Chinese algorithm, the new year is coming.

According to the calculation of Suzhou people, Tuchun is already thirty.

He came out of the elevator in Shao Zhen's apartment building, and Shao Zhen was already waiting at the door of the house. He was wearing sleepy clothes and pants, with a blanket over his shoulders, with a lazy posture and a tired expression.There are clusters of warm lights behind him.

According to the "Analects of Confucius", a person stands at thirty, and at the age of thirty, Tuchun has a younger brother and a partner.

Tuchun stepped forward and hugged Shao Zhen.

He asked him, "Do you want us to live together?"
