Luohuazhishui

The group returned to the village in a carriage, and first went to Cheng's house to unload the New Year's goods.Cheng Luohua took off her coat and returned it to Chen Zhishui.Chen Zhishui didn't say any more about giving her clothes. After all, she wouldn't need them if she gave them to Cheng Luohua, and Cheng Jinbao would snatch them away.

A week passed quickly.Today is New Year's Eve, and every household started to post Spring Festival couplets and door gods early.

When Chen Zhishui came out to post the couplets, he happened to meet Cheng Luohua who had just finished posting them.

"Is it cold, what are you going to do after posting the Spring Festival couplets?"

Cheng Luohua said softly: "I'll make the noodles in a while, and make dumplings at night. After making the noodles, I'll go to pack the chicken and fish, and prepare the New Year's dinner, and I can eat the New Year's dinner when I'm done."

There shouldn't be many dishes in the farmhouse for Chinese New Year, right?Why are you busy until the afternoon?

"Are you busy alone?"

"Well, mother is embroidering my brother's clothes, and father and Jinbao have gone to the city to play. They won't come back until the afternoon dinner."

"Are you busy by yourself every year?"

Cheng Luohua thought about it. "Not when I was young, my mother would work with me, but when I grew up, my mother was relieved, so I let it go."

What are you worried about?Do you feel comfortable instructing you?fool.

"I'll help you clean up the chicken and fish as soon as I make up the noodles"

Cheng Luohua knew that Chen Zhishui was kind, but she still refused.

Stretch out your hand and push: "No need, I'm busy here alone, I'm not tired, you go and do yours, hurry up, be obedient."

Cheng Luohua told her to be obedient with a soft tone, coupled with such a gentle push, Chen Zhishui felt her heart almost melt.

How could there be such a cute girl as Cheng Luohua.

Chen Zhishui started to play tricks, pinched Cheng Luohua's cool face and said: "Okay, then listen to the little lady."

Cheng Luohua blushed instantly after being pinched by Chen Zhishui and teased with her address.

"You...you are shameless! If I didn't know that you are a woman, I would have beaten you like a hooligan!"

Chen Zhishui was amused and laughed.

"Then I should thank myself for being a woman."

Cheng Luohua didn't think much about it.I thought Chen Zhishui was just talking casually.I didn't take it to heart.With a snort, he turned and walked into the courtyard.

Chen Zhishui looked at the Cheng family's eyes until she couldn't see Cheng Luohua's figure before taking it back.

Pasted the Spring Festival couplets and the door god.Chen Zhishui scooped out some flour that had been ground from wheat and poured it into a basin.Add the yeast powder and stir well, then mix it with warm water and reconcile.Put the curtain on the basin to wake up the noodles, and you can take it out to make dumplings at night.

After finishing these, Chen Zhishui took out the chicken and tidied it up.Bring to a boil and toss into a pot to simmer.

She is alone.Just get something to eat.

In this era, there is no TV, and there is no Spring Festival Gala, but there are Cuju competitions in the city for most of the day.In the evening, there will be □□ and other various programs, and at the end there will be dragon dance and fireworks.

Of course, those who are not interested in the show can also go home early, and it would be a good thing to sit in the yard and watch the fireworks and eat dumplings.

Chen Zhishui had finished the New Year's Eve dinner at noon, and almost woke up when they met, and began to sit in the yard making dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner.In the afternoon, maybe I will go to the city to watch a show, which is a good way to pass the time.

The father and son of the Cheng family next door seemed to be back.It became lively.

As soon as the New Year's dinner was served, Cheng Jinbao immediately put half a bowl of chicken into the bowl.

I thought he was eating from a bowl, but who would have thought that he would change the bowl in his hand with the small basin in the middle of the dining table.

He scooped the rice into a basin and ate the meat.

Qin Shulan said with a smile: "Hehehe, the boy's father, look at our Jinbao, he is really powerful, just looking at his body is strong."

Cheng Damai also agreed. "Yes, son, eat more, a man should hug him, come on, eat meat"

Cheng Luohua was no stranger to this kind of scene.

She didn't take a bite of the meat dishes on the table, things that didn't belong to her, even if she wanted them again, they didn't belong to her.

Eat New Year's Eve dinner.Cheng Jinbao planned early on that Cheng Luohua wouldn't be allowed to live this year. He made a pile of dirty clothes, and the house he lived in was so useless that he didn't let her mother clean it up.

Of course, Qin Shulan also knew that his son was going to start thinking about the whole process, but it was just to let Cheng Luohua do more work. She could be lazy and show her son's intelligence, so why not do it? .

Chen Zhishui pulled out the horse and was about to enter the city. When he was passing by the gate of Cheng's courtyard, he happened to overhear the conversation of Cheng's family.

"Mom, there are still a lot of dirty clothes in my house that haven't been washed, and the house hasn't been tidied up. Let Cheng Luohua stay at home and work. It's Chinese New Year, so many dirty things are piled up there, how can the next year go smoothly. "

The Cheng family couple are the most superstitious.Cheng Damai hurriedly asked Cheng Luohua to stay at home after hearing this.

"Cheng Luohua, you wash your brother's clothes and clean up the house at home, and split the firewood in the kitchen by the way, if you can't finish before we come back, see if I don't beat you to death!"

After Cheng Damai finished speaking, Qin Shulan followed closely and said, "That's right, for the New Year's Eve, the house must be clean, otherwise our house will be messed up if the God of Wealth doesn't come. Do you want to get better next year? Cheng Luohua, you are here Don’t run around when you’re working at home, do you hear me? Otherwise, be careful with your skin!”

Cheng Luohua has long been numb to such things.

"Yes."

Chen Zhishui was really going to die of anger.She said, the last time she taught Cheng Jinbao a lesson, why was that guy so obedient.It turned out that he couldn't beat him so he went to bully Cheng Luohua.

Cheng Jinbao went out with a smirk on his face.Seeing Chen Zhishui's heart skip a beat, but then she thought again, okay, if you bully me, I'll bully Cheng Luohua.Let's see if it's me or her, Cheng Luohua!

Chen Zhishui saw his embarrassing expression, but he couldn't rush up and beat him up. It would be difficult for him, let alone Cheng Luohua.

Seeing that Chen Zhishui was so angry, Cheng Jinbao endured it, and suddenly felt relieved.Pushing his nose and face, Chen Zhishui sent him to the city.

"Hey, Chen Zhishui, it's just right. Judging by your posture, you are going to enter the city, right? You go back and load the car, and take our family into the city by the way. Oh, I won't bring Cheng Luohua with you today. Hahaha!"

Chen Zhishui laughed back angrily.

"Hehe. Okay, let's go to the city, I just happen to be going too. Go and call your parents together."

I'll return it to you sooner or later, don't worry.

Cheng Jinbao thought that Chen Zhishui was really under control, and he was so happy that he walked a few steps into the courtyard from the door.

Cheng Luohua, after this year, you will be seventeen.

What kind of grievances have you lived in these 17 years.

The four entered the city together.

Chen Zhishui followed the three of them to watch the puppet show at the main intersection in the city.

The show became more and more exciting, but Chen Zhishui's thoughts drifted further and further away.While Cheng Jinbao and the others were fascinated by watching, Chen Zhishui walked through the crowd and left.

There are many small vendors on the road.A group of children wearing ghost masks passed by her.

The customs of this world are really interesting.

The Spring Festival wears ghost masks, just like Halloween.However, the original meaning of wearing a mask in this world is to ward off evil spirits.Now it has become a game for children to frolic and chase.

Chen Zhishui bought a pair of fangs with a black background and a mask with red patterns on a white background.Instead of looking for Cheng Jinbao and the others, he went straight back to the village.

joke.Send it into the city, or take it back?

Go back by yourself.

Chen Zhishui went home and unloaded the carriage and tied the horses.He wore a black-bottomed fang mask to scare Cheng Luohua.

"Dong dong dong" Chen Zhishui knocked on the Cheng family's door.

"Who?" Cheng Luohua was sitting in the yard chopping firewood just after washing her clothes.

Chen Zhishui thought for a while, it was getting so late.It's better to answer, don't let her be scared.

"It's me, Chen Zhishui."

Cheng Luohua opened the door.He was not frightened by the fang mask Chen Zhishui wore.

"Why are you back? Don't you want to play for a while?"

Chen Zhishui took off the fang mask.

"Well, I'm not used to being in such a lively place."

"Come in and sit down. I still have some work to do, so you don't feel bored when you sit by yourself."

"Let me help you. I'm idle anyway. If you two work together, you can almost finish it before they come back."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

……

The two were busy for nearly an hour before finishing everything.

Chen Zhishui went home and brought all the dumplings made in the afternoon to cook, and the dumplings came out just in time for the last fireworks show in the city.

The two faced each other, enjoying the fireworks while eating dumplings.
