Wan Lin really didn't come to work again.If he doesn't come, Wan Li doesn't take the initiative to look for him, and the end of the year is coming soon.

After the grandfather passed away, my sister-in-law and second uncle spent New Year's Eve at the uncle's house every year, and Wanli's household registration was at the uncle's house, so it was logical to spend with them.Go to Grandma Fei's house for a walk in the morning on the first day of the new year, and Wanli's Spring Festival will be over.

This year is different.Besides having Jiang Xun beside him, the relationship with his uncle has also dropped to freezing point, he really doesn't want to go to his uncle's house anymore.

Wan Li bought some New Year's goods, and he planned to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Jiang Xun, but on the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Yuanyuan called Wan Li in frustration.

"Brother Wanli, are you going to your uncle's house tonight?"

"No, what's the matter?" Wan Li looked at his watch, it was only seven o'clock in the morning.

When Zhou Yuanyuan heard this, she immediately became excited: "Then you all come to grandma's house!"

"Your mother won't come back this year?" Wan Li didn't directly agree.

Grandma Fei is over 60 years old this year and has only one child, Zhou Yuanyuan's mother.But Zhou Yuanyuan's mother divorced after giving birth to Zhou Yuanyuan, and the remarried man didn't want Zhou Yuanyuan, so he threw Zhou Yuanyuan to Grandma Fei, and only came back every Spring Festival to see the child.In the past two years, they didn't even show up during the Spring Festival, and they didn't even care about their own mother. If it wasn't for sending Zhou Yuanyuan's living expenses every month, both their grandparents and grandchildren would have almost forgotten about this person.

"Well, my mother said that my brother's health is not good, so I won't bother you this year." Zhou Yuanyuan is not without sadness, but she is used to the life without a mother, and has no expectations for her mother, and the sadness is only for a short while: "So Why don't you come? It's not interesting just me and grandma."

"Okay, tell grandma not to prepare, I'll do it with Jiang Xun." Wan Li also felt that he and Jiang Xun were too deserted on New Year's Eve, so he agreed without hesitation.

Grandma Fei is not in good health and has to take medicine every day.Except for cooking, almost all housework is contracted by Zhou Yuanyuan.So when Wan Li and Jiang Xun passed by, Zhou Yuanyuan was sweeping with a broom.

Seeing Jiang Xun, Zhou Yuanyuan was elated: "Brother Jiang Xun, I miss you so much! What are you going to do for us tonight?"

"I just know how to eat!" Wan Li moved over the bought New Year's goods intact, then rolled up his sleeves and asked Grandma Fei: "Grandma, you should take a rest, what do you want, I will help you!"

Grandma Fei wanted to clean the glass, but Wan Li snatched the rag as soon as it got wet: "This kid is hardworking, is Jiang Xun cold? Come in and sit down!"

On New Year's Eve, they first cleaned the house, ate something casually at noon, and started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon.

Wan Li likes spicy food, Zhou Yuanyuan likes sweet food, and Grandma Fei likes light food. In order to cater for everyone's tastes, Jiang Xun planned the menu on the way here.

Boiled beef, for Wanli; soft-boiled pork, for Zhou Yuanyuan; stir-fried shrimp, for grandma; and squirrel fish, lotus root slices in red oil, winter melon, scallop and pork ribs soup, six dishes, Liuliu Dashun.The staple food is eight-treasure rice, which both grandma and Zhou Yuanyuan like.

Wan Li listened to the menu and of course agreed [-]%.But thinking that he can't do anything, he feels too dependent on Jiang Xun. What if Jiang Xun is not around one day, what will he do?

So, he followed Jiang Xun into the kitchen and said, "Jiang Xun, can you teach me how to cook?"

Jiang Xun taught Zhou Yuanyuan once, which was enough for him to get angry.But Wan Li proposed to learn, and he almost agreed without thinking: "Okay."

Wan Li was very happy to hear that, and asked confidently, "Then where do I start now?"

"Cut the beef." Jiang Xun washed the chopping board and handed the kitchen knife to Wan Li.

Grandma Fei's kitchen knife is still an old-fashioned iron knife with a wooden handle, which is very heavy in the hand.Wan Li thought about Jiang Xun's appearance when he cut the meat, and decisively cut the knife.

"No." Jiang Xun stopped him when he cut the first piece.For the convenience of teaching Wanli, Jiang Xun posted it from behind Wanli, his left hand stretched from Wanli's waist to the chopping board, and his right hand held the knife together with Wanli.

"Beef meat is firm and has thick fibers. Before cutting, you should observe its grain direction and cut off its texture, so that the meat will be more flavorful and taste more tender." Jiang Xun's breath was in Wan Li's ear By the side, he taught without distraction in this hug-like posture, but Wan Li's back began to sweat, and he didn't understand what Jiang Xun said.

"There's still something to be particular about cutting meat..." Wan Li sideways avoided Jiang Xun's arms, and gave Jiang Xun the chopping board: "You cut it, you cut it thin."

"Okay." The person who learns to cook on a whim doesn't need to ask him to practice knife skills. Jiang Xun picked up the knife and prepared to cut it. He glanced at Wanli casually: "Why are you blushing? Is it hot?"

Wan Li also felt that his face was burning, but he had nothing to blush: "Yeah, I'm wearing a lot, I'll go and take off the sweater, grandma's house is very well heated..." He went out of the kitchen while chattering, making a fuss. I don't know why I'm so nervous all of a sudden.

Wan Li didn't succeed in the end, and Jiang Xun took over the New Year's Eve dinner, and every dish was delicious in color, fragrance and taste.After dinner, Zhou Yuanyuan yelled to set off firecrackers.

Throughout the year, it is only during Chinese New Year that children can play with fireworks and firecrackers, so Zhou Yuanyuan bought a lot of them with her pocket money, and she has been thinking about them since the morning.

"Brother Wanli, you go with me, brother Jiang Xun, too, grandma, are you going?"

Grandma is getting old, and she waved her hands with a smile: "I won't go, I'll wait for the Spring Festival Gala! Go and play!"

"Then let's go!" Zhou Yuanyuan ran out happily, Wan Li was afraid that she would hurt him, so he had to grab a cigarette and a lighter to follow.

Zhou Yuanyuan bought everything, including fairy wands, monkeys, and even kickers.Wan Li lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, took a puff and asked her, "Which one do you want to put first?"

"This, this." Zhou Yuanyuan said while holding up two fairy wands.

Wan Li lit her with a cigarette butt, and Zhou Yuanyuan happily played with herself.Wan Li couldn't light the cigarette in vain, so he started smoking on his own.

"Do you want to play?" Wan Li wrapped his coat tightly, the outdoor temperature was extremely low, except for Zhou Yuanyuan, he and Jiang Xun were so cold that they stamped their feet.

"Don't play." Jiang Xun couldn't compete with Zhou Yuanyuan: "You smoke less, isn't it cold?" Smoking outdoors in winter, every time you smoke, you will breathe a sigh of relief.

"You want to drink?" Wan Li held the cigarette holder and handed it to Jiang Xun. He was deliberately teasing Jiang Xun, knowing that Jiang Xun doesn't smoke.

But Jiang Xun lowered his head, held the cigarette holder in his mouth, and sucked on Wan Li's hand.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Sure enough, he choked.

Although Wan Li felt that it was not right to smoke the same cigarette holder as Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun coughed violently, he hurriedly bit the cigarette back into his mouth, and stretched out his hand to pat Jiang Xun on the back: "If you don't know how to smoke, don't. It really makes you smoke."

Jiang Xun stopped coughing, snatched the cigarette from Wan Li's mouth, and dug out a bunch of sky-scurrying monkeys from Zhou Yuanyuan's pile of firecrackers: "I'm playing this."

There were several snowdrifts in the yard, and Jiang Xun put the Sky-Speeding Monkeys on the snowdrifts and lined them up in a long row.

"Brother Jiang Xun, be careful, run quickly after clicking, don't hurt yourself!" Zhou Yuanyuan felt that Jiang Xun's posture was not right, and told him worriedly.

"Jiang Xun is old enough to worry about you." Wan Li dragged Zhou Yuanyuan back, away from Jiang Xun.

Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Wanli from the corner of his eye, and felt that Wanli was in a good mood: "Brother Wanli, brother Jiang Xun won't go home during the Chinese New Year?"

"Well, what's the problem?" Wan Li stomped his feet, his toes were numb from the cold.

"No problem, I think you two are really a good match." Zhou Yuanyuan grinned.

"Huh?" Wan Li didn't understand Zhou Yuanyuan's words: "What do you mean?"

"I feel that Brother Jiang Xun has his eyes on you. Brother, you have never had a girlfriend. Is it because you still like men deep down in your heart?" Zhou Yuanyuan began to make nonsense again, and he continued to play along with each other: "Brother Jiang Xun is not bad. He is handsome and cooks delicious food, can you think about it?"

Wan Li was shocked by Zhou Yuanyuan's unimaginability: "Zhou Yuanyuan, have you finished your winter vacation homework? What are you thinking about?"

"I'll tell you how easy it is for you to lose me when you do your homework during the New Year's Eve." Zhou Yuanyuan frantically went to ask Jiang Xun for fire, and the two of them refused to enter the room with their fingertips flushed from the cold. Great.

At first glance, Jiang Xun had never played with this thing.In order to accompany the two of them, and also to celebrate Jiang Xun's discovery of this tiny joy, Wan Li let go of Er Tijiao beside him.

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the chickens and dogs danced for another year.This sentence can't be more appropriate to describe Wan Li's life.

After midnight, the Spring Festival Gala came to an end. When the melody of unforgettable tonight sounded, Zhou Yuanyuan had already fallen asleep.After bidding farewell to Grandma Fei, Wan Li and Jiang Xun went home at night.

The bright red lanterns were hung high, and the firecracker skins all over the floor were illuminated red by the lanterns. They were probably asleep, and the outdoors were quiet in the second half of the night. With the red eyes, it was similar to the scene of a ghost movie.

"Happy New Year, Jiang Xun." Just now, I have paid New Year's greetings to Grandma Fei, and now I sincerely wish Jiang Xun.

"Happy New Year, Wanli." Jiang Xun followed his example and replied.

There are often such moments of silence between them, but now Wanli is no longer awkward.He regards this as the best state among friends, so he enjoys Jiang Xun's silent company.

It would be great if Jiang Xun could stay with him like this forever, Wan Li suddenly thought so.
