The Lost Gold Master and the Pumpkin Prince

My grandma used to say that children are happy during the New Year, and adults have a lot of things on their minds during the New Year.Shen Jingnan's family has few relatives, and the Chinese New Year is not too lively, but when he was a child, his parents and grandma were all there, so the family was still intact, and it was always a joy to be together as a family.

Today, Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the gate of the Chu family, red lanterns were hung, and a bouquet of watery flowers was placed in the living room.Mother Chu wore a saffron cheongsam embroidered with peonies and larks.Chu Xiaoyu wore a red sweater dress, which set off her fair skin and made her smile extraordinarily beautiful.Father Chu and Chu Mingzhe did not make an appointment, but they both wore a two-piece suit of shirt and sweater. Father Chu’s expression was serious, and he set up a majestic family. Chu Mingzhe was helping his sister cut the window grilles. It has to be clever, not only the pictures are good-looking, but also the cut-out window grilles are extraordinarily delicate and delicate, and they are very beautiful when pasted on the windows.

Shen Jingnan helped cut the rice cakes at the dining table. He hadn't felt the excitement of the Chinese New Year for a long time.

When he was still living in the old house, he and his grandma made four small dishes to celebrate. At that time, their life was not so good. The ribs costing 36 yuan a catty were bought by grandma gritted their teeth, but they tasted delicious. I'm happy too.

The grandparents and grandchildren accompanied each other, and it passed year after year like this.Until this time last year, when her grandma was hospitalized, Shen Jingnan had the most difficult year, and she only cooked quick-frozen dumplings at home.

What about before?How did you celebrate the New Year when your parents were around?

Shen Jingnan thought for a long time, but only vaguely remembered the lucky money under the pillow and the firecrackers set off by the children on the street. He couldn't even remember the faces of his parents.

But blood relationship is a wonderful thing, even though they have not met each other for a long time, when the other party reappears, Shen Jingnan can still recognize the other party at a glance, this is an instinctive sense of familiarity derived from family affection.The throbbing left by the passing figure yesterday still lingered in Shen Jingnan's heart. He stared at the orange in his hand in a daze, thinking how hard it would be to meet again in such a vast crowd.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner started, Zhao Yaqin came over with the tribute and whispered to Shen Jingnan, "Nannan, this tribute for your grandma, you can go and put it in the yard. Auntie also prepared some paper money, you burn it together." For the elderly."

Shen Jingnan came back to his senses, moved in his heart, took the things in Zhao Yaqin's hand and said, "Auntie, you have to worry."

"Nannan, you don't have to be polite with auntie." Zhao Yaqin said with a smile, "Since you are the person Mingzhe believes in, uncles and aunts will treat you as their own son. You don't have to have any pressure, you just need to be good. , Mingzhe will be happy, and we can rest assured."

Shen Jingnan nodded, feeling warm in his heart, and said, "Auntie, thank you."

Zhao Yaqin squeezed Shen Jingnan's face, and said: "Although Nannan has a round face, there is almost no flesh on his face. Auntie will give you a good body during the Chinese New Year. I heard Mingzhe said that you will go to the production team after the year. The production team The food here is too bad, so let’s stay at Auntie’s place for a few days~”

"Hey, good." Shen Jingnan suddenly remembered his mother, and said with a sore heart, "Auntie, I will be very grateful if you let me in for the New Year."

Before taking his daughter-in-law home, Chu Mingzhe would come back every now and then to tell his parents about Shen Jingnan, how good and loving Shen Jingnan was.Zhao Yaqin knew Shen Jingnan's upbringing experience, and hearing him say that made her feel even more uncomfortable. She raised her hand and touched Shen Jingnan's shoulder and said, "The whole family will not thank you."

Shen Jingnan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He had no choice but to keep the kindness of Chu's parents in his heart. One day in the future, if Chu's father and Chu's mother could use him, he would definitely treat him with heart. them.

Shen Jingnan took the tribute out of the gate of the Chu family and came to the courtyard.At this time, it was already dark, and all kinds of lights were turned on in nearby villas. Shen Jingnan squatted down, found a good place to burn some paper for grandma, and said, "Grandma, I went in a hurry yesterday. I didn't even have time to say happy new year to you. Hey, grandma, happy new year, I'm at Mingzhe's house, my uncles and aunts are very kind to me, and Mingzhe's sister is also very cute."

"It's a pity that you can't see it anymore, grandma, how about you over there? Have you seen grandpa? Auntie has prepared a lot of paper money for you. I think you should have a good life over there." Shen Jingnan looked at the moon , sighed, and whispered, "Grandma, do you know that Dad visited you yesterday? Please bless me to see Dad again. Whether he wants to see me or not, I want to see him."

Chu Mingzhe walked from behind Shen Jingnan unconsciously, patted Shen Jingnan, and said, "Uncle must have wanted to see you all these years."

Shen Jingnan was startled, squatted on the ground and turned her head.The paper money burned in the basin, and the flames illuminated Shen Jingnan's fair face.Chu Mingzhe pulled him up and said to him seriously: "No matter what the reason is, parents who abandon their children will regret it one day, but because of self-blame and guilt, they will feel ashamed to see their children again. It's not that he doesn't want to Seeing you, he can't face himself."

Shen Jingnan pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "But I don't blame them anymore. If we can see each other again, I'd like to tell them that they are still my parents."

"Well, let's go inside and have a New Year's Eve dinner." Chu Mingzhe rubbed Shen Jingnan's hair with a smile, and said, "It's so cold outside, but it's still warm at home. My parents are your parents, and the days will be long."

"What did you call me?" Shen Jingnan opened his eyes wide.

"Guagua, cute little pumpkin." Chu Mingzhe put his hands in his pockets, his slender figure and handsome face are very seductive in the night, Shen Jingnan ran a few steps to catch up with Chu Mingzhe, Chu Mingzhe laughed, He hugged Shen Jingnan who rushed over.

"I love you," Shen Jingnan closed his eyes, leaning against Chu Mingzhe's arms and smelling his good smell, "Brother, I love you~"

"I love you too," Chu Mingzhe said, "I have prepared a New Year's gift, and I will show it to you later."

"Ah, do you still need to prepare a gift?" Shen Jingnan blushed and said, "Forgive me, I have no love experience before, so I didn't expect to prepare a New Year's gift for you. It's my fault."

"You have already given me a New Year's gift," Chu Mingzhe looked at Shen Jingnan with raised eyebrows, and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Shen Jingnan's face.

"What?" Shen Jingnan's eyes widened.

"First love." Chu Mingzhe took his hand and entered the door, "You are my first love, and I am your first love."

The amount of information in this sentence was too much for Shen Jingnan, he was stunned for a while, and then whispered: "What did I hear..."

If he hadn't already arrived in the living room, Shen Jingnan might have exclaimed.He really didn't expect that he was Chu Mingzhe's first love.When they first met, Chu Mingzhe had just passed his 24th birthday. He had graduated from studying abroad, worked for two years, and was the son of a wealthy family and the president of Blueprint. Shen Jingnan thought that such a man would have many relationships.

Chu Mingzhe took advantage of his height and rubbed Shen Jingnan's soft hair, and said, "Don't you believe me?"

"No, no." Shen Jingnan looked up at Chu Mingzhe and said, "I just think how honored I am...I am very happy now."

My younger sister is holding a cat teaser on the luxurious wool carpet in the living room to play with Eggy. Eggy's big round eyes are very cute, and she keeps jumping up to tease the cat.Jiji lay on the carpet, squinting his blue slender eyes silently watching the cat teasing stick shaking without being moved, and yawned lazily.

Chu Mingzhe leaned over and wrapped Dandan in a red scarf, and said, "Dandan, it's Chinese New Year."

"Meow~" Eggy still likes Chu Mingzhe very much, she rushed over to let Chu Mingzhe hug it, but Chu Mingzhe refused Eggy, and then hung a gemstone necklace on Meiji.

Jiji slightly opened his blue cat's eyes and glanced at Dandan wearing a fiery red scarf, then pawed at his big gemstone necklace, and then collapsed on the carpet again.Its lazy expression matched this gemstone necklace very well, and it suddenly gave off an inexplicable enchanting ladylike temperament.

Shen Jingnan wanted to laugh inexplicably, and said, "Jiji is so beautiful."

Eggy opened her round eyes to see the shit shoveling officers, she was more enthusiastic than Jiji.Shen Jingnan stretched out his hand to Eggy, and Eggy put her two paws on it and stood up.

"Eggy didn't grow taller, but it did." Chu Xiaoyu laughed hahaha, "But sister-in-law, you and Eggy's eyes are so round, big, and cute."

Shen Jingnan fluttered his eyelashes, feeling a little embarrassed, Chu Mingzhe put his arms around Shen Jingnan's waist calmly, and said, "Cute, cute is mine too."

Chu Xiaoyu said with a look of disgust: "Okay, yours, yours."

Shen Jingnan bent his eyes, Chu Xiaoyu pulled Shen Jingnan's hand and walked towards the dining table, and said as he walked, "Sister-in-law, there is a kind of pumpkin-shaped dessert today, it's so cute, come and see it."

Shen Jingnan took a look, there was a plate of small pumpkin-shaped snacks, each pumpkin had an expression on it, it looked really cute.He became interested, took a photo of this plate of dim sum and posted it on Weibo, saying: Little pumpkin with all kinds of pumpkins at home and abroad, I wish you all a happy New Year of the Rooster~ It’s time for a New Year’s Eve dinner, I hope everyone will eat it in the Year of the Rooster Fragrance~【Picture】

In just a few seconds, he received many likes and comments.

Lovepumpkin: First, I sit down and send me up

lovepupmkin: Why are you pretending to be me upstairs, love me pumpkin!Confess the pumpkin!

Lian Lingyu: I dare not say that I love Little Pumpkin, for fear of being praised until the Year of the Rooster

Lanwazi: hhhhhh the speed of the master is not good 23333

Wild God's Coral: Hahahahaha, is the Great God's emoticon package from the last century? Hahaha

In the evening, when the whole family had dinner together, Shen Jingnan was in a good mood and his appetite improved a lot.Chu Mingzhe drank a few glasses with Chu's father, and got interested in painting roosters with the help of alcohol, so he took out a set of ordinary morning light colored pencils and painted for more than two hours.After nine o'clock, Chu's mother brought fruit from the kitchen, and saw her son's painting from a long distance away. She thought that a big rooster really came into the house, and said in surprise, "Where did the big cock come from~"

With Chu Mingzhe's big touch, the paintings are so lifelike, Shen Jingnan leaned over to look at them, worshiped Chu Mingzhe and said, "I must have used fake pens all these years."

Chu Mingzhe smiled and said, "Draw a chicken casually, it will be festive and festive."

"Whatever..." Shen Jingnan looked at his hand, "I might be a fake hand."

Chu Mingzhe was amused by him, and a burst of laughter erupted in the living room.Shen Jingnan and Chu Mingzhe leaned over to watch, and happened to see Shen Jingnan's "Weasel Pays New Year's Eve to Chicken" skit performed by Shen Jingnan on the screen.This is the Spring Festival Gala in Taiwan Province. Comedians Huang Yulei and Shen Jingnan of the older generation are both wearing weasel clothes. He is pulling Shen Jingnan and saying: "Let's go, son, let's go to give you Uncle Chicken New Year's greetings~"

Shen Jingnan had an obedient and innocent face: "It's okay, Dad, I'm not hungry."

"Going to pay New Year's greetings is not a meal!"

"Uncle Chicken's place is full of rice, and you don't want to eat it, so you just want to eat braised chicken." Shen Jingnan had an innocent face, big round eyes with colored contact lenses, "I don't like braised chicken."

Huang Yulei sighed, pulled Shen Jingnan up and left, and said, "Why don't you listen to your father? As a weasel, how can you not like chicken?!"

In order to play the role of weasel, Shen Jingnan put his hands on his chest and said, "I, I, I don't want to eat this kind of pheasant. I want to eat chicken."

"Let you make trouble for me, make trouble, make trouble for me!" The big weasel slapped the arm of the little weasel, "Is it a chicken if you are willing to fight a chicken? Do you still want to be a weasel if you eat junk food every day?!"

Father Chu was usually such a serious person, but when he saw Shen Jingnan, he laughed out loud at the first sight.Mother Chu also couldn't help laughing: "Oh, hahaha, Nannan, this little weasel is you hahaha."

"Sister-in-law, you are so cute hahahahahahahaha..."

Shen Jingnan was a little embarrassed, sat on the edge of the sofa and said, "Ah? Is there..."

"Yes," Chu Mingzhe laughed, "You are so cute...hahaha..."

Shen Jingnan is quite suitable for this kind of cute role. This time, the little weasel made him act stupid and cute, which was well received by the viewers of Weibo and the Chu family.The clock was about to turn in a blink of an eye, the lights in Chu's house were brightly lit, and the lights were turned on in every room on the third floor. Father Chu had the habit of watching the year, and there was still a pot of dumplings to eat at twelve o'clock.

Chu Mingzhe had nothing to do, so he posted the big rooster he drew just now on Weibo. He has recently been gaining followers, and his followers have reached 60 in a blink of an eye, which is likely to surpass his cousin Deng Yunlou's Weibo account. .After Ye Zhen came out of the closet, Deng Yunlou showed unbridled love and affection.Chu Mingzhe checked Weibo and saw his cousin posted a photo of Ye Zhen holding dumplings and smiling.

Chu Mingzhe recalled that Deng Yunlou once told himself that he had 2 g of Ye Zhen's photos in his hard drive, and thought he couldn't lose.He silently closed Weibo, and said to Chu Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, take a photo of me and your sister-in-law."

"Brother, don't you like taking pictures?" Chu Xiao said, "I also want to take pictures with my sister-in-law."

"Let's take a photo together!" Mother Chu said, "It's also the first time Mingzhe has led someone home for the New Year. It's so memorable. Ah Zhi, come and sit, let's take a photo together."

Chu's father and Chu's mother sat together, Shen Jingnan and Chu Mingzhe sat together, Chu Xiaoyu squatted in front of the single dog, and said with a mobile phone: "I will try to put my face in the center!"

Shen Jingnan smiled, and couldn't help but whispered to Chu Mingzhe, "My sister is so cute."

"Wait a minute! Bring Dandan and Jiji to take a picture together." Mother Chu said.

Chu Mingzhe and Shen Jingnan carried the two cats that were about to fall asleep on the carpet to the sofa, Dandan opened his eyes and looked at the shit-shoveling officer who was holding him, and then skillfully looked at the camera.Chichi's paws are resting on Dandan's body, and the two cats also look very friendly.

"Let's take it!" Chu Xiaoyu showed the photo to his parents, and said in surprise, "It's exactly zero o'clock, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, the year of the rooster is auspicious~"

Shen Jingnan took out a red envelope from his pocket and said to Chu Xiaoyu, "Happy year of the rooster, study hard~"

"Oh sister-in-law, I can't accept it." Chu Xiaoyu quickly waved his hands and said, "We are about the same age."

"I'm already working, you're still in school."

Chu Mingzhe chuckled and said, "You don't need to give her, she has a lot of money."

"Sister-in-law, please sign me~" Chu Xiaoyu came over and took some nice papers and said, "Just sign it."

"Well, yes, but the red envelope must be accepted." Shen Jingnan said to Chu Xiaoyu, "This is my heart."

"Okay, I'll accept it." Chu Xiaoyu bent his peach blossom eyes, Chu Mingzhe silently took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to Chu Xiaoyu, Chu Xiaoyu almost narrowed his eyes when he laughed, and said , "Thank you brother!"

"Jingnan, this is a meeting gift from my uncle and I." Mother Chu also took out a red envelope, which was very thin but contained a card.Shen Jingnan hesitated for a moment, fearing that the amount would be too much, he refused and said, "Auntie, I can't ask for it."

"This is our habit." Mother Chu smiled, "When you meet your son-in-law for the first time, you should give him a red envelope, please accept it~"

Shen Jingnan was a little embarrassed, but thanked Father Chu and Mother Chu for accepting the red envelope.It was already late at this time, and the whole family was packing up and getting ready to rest. Shen Jingnan and Chu Mingzhe returned to the bedroom, and Chu Mingzhe took out a pair of watches from the drawer and said, "A gift for you. We each Only watch."

"Wow, it's so beautiful, is it a couple model?" Shen Jingnan looked at the pair of simple and elegant diamond watches and said, "Thank you husband, I like it very much~ It just looks so expensive..."

Seeing Shen Jingnan's smile, Chu Mingzhe felt even more warm in his heart. He knew what Shen Jingnan was worried about, so he said, "Nannan will become more and more powerful. This is my long-term investment."

Shen Jingnan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then I will definitely work hard this year."

Shen Jingnan dreamed of grandma again that night, everything in the dream seemed real, he seemed to be going to the other side of the river, grandma rowed him across the river, and brought him to the other side of the river smoothly.

Waking up is another day, a new year.

Shen Jingnan moved her body, and found that Dandan and Jiji ran into bed at some point.The curtains in the bedroom were drawn tightly, not letting in any light. Chu Mingzhe was still sleeping, with a piece of his bare arm exposed, Jiji huddled up beside Chu Mingzhe, Eggy on Shen Jingnan's quilt Li also became a ball.

One white glutinous rice ball, one gray glutinous rice ball.

Shen Jingnan laughed, and lightly poked Eggy with his finger, Eggy turned over and let out a contented purr, and fell asleep again.The bed is so warm that even the cat is reluctant to part with it.

At this time Chu Mingzhe opened his eyes, and looked at Shen Jingnan for three seconds, as if there was a telepathy, the two said in unison: "I love you——"

Chu Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, Shen Jingnan was also a little surprised, he turned and said: "I think I will tell you this in the first words of the new year... I didn't expect you to think so."

Chu Mingzhe hummed, and said, "This is called husband and wife concentricity."

"Mingzhe, I dreamed about grandma again." Shen Jingnan nestled into Chu Mingzhe's arms, and lightly touched Chu Mingzhe's chest muscles with his fingers, "Grandma is fine. I thought of a place where my dad might go."

"Where?" Chu Mingzhe said.

"Near the old house that has been demolished." Shen Jingnan said, "I'm not sure, but I think if he comes back, he will always go back and have a look."

"Okay, then let's go and have a look today and ask around, and we may gain something new." Chu Mingzhe said, "Let's go downstairs and eat glutinous rice balls~ Our glutinous rice balls are made by the cook himself, they are delicious."

After breakfast, Shen Jingnan and Chu Mingzhe set off to the old house where he lived in his childhood. Half of the houses in that part were demolished, and half of them remained, and some houses were quite old.Shen Jingnan pointed to a small bridge nearby and said to Chu Mingzhe, "I used to play here when I was young. Look, there are geese in the water."

"It's beautiful here." Chu Mingzhe said, "You must have been cute when you were young."

Shen Jingnan took out a family photo from his wallet, handed it to Chu Mingzhe, and said, "Look, this is the photo taken by the whole family when I was in primary school."

Chu Mingzhe looked carefully, then said with a light smile, "Nannan hasn't changed."

The car stopped, and the two of them strolled casually together, just to relax.There is a melon and fruit market here. Shen Jingnan said: "When I was a child, there was a market here. I didn't expect it to be still there for so many years. There is a cemetery on the top of the mountain. Many people from our side are buried there. The cemetery is quite Expensive, cheap here."

"Do you want to eat sugar cane?" Chu Mingzhe saw that several stalls in the fruit stand were selling sugar cane, and said, "Shall I buy some sugar cane for you?"

"Well, well, I love this, and so does my mother."

Shen Jingnan looked at the surrounding scenery and walked slowly. A few seconds later, he saw a figure who was buying sugar cane, and suddenly quickened his pace and started running.
