Penitent hand, trembling slightly

After the new year, time seems to speed up, and it will be the 29th in a blink of an eye.

The restaurant closed as early as the 26th, and it will probably reopen after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. In the past few days, Shen's mother and Shen's father have organized a group to go outside to do New Year's goods, while Shen Maomao and Lou Jingmo are responsible for staying at home to look after the house.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Lou Jingmo got up early to go to the door with Father Shen to post Spring Festival couplets.The neighbor across the door also happened to choose this time. When she saw Lou Jingmo, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Oh? Old Shen, happy new year! Is this your relative?"

Lou Jingmo pursed his lips and smiled at her, but did not take the initiative to speak.

Father Shen said frankly: "Happy Chinese New Year, this is my girlfriend, isn't she beautiful?"

The neighbor paused and said, "It's pretty. Your little rabbit is lucky to have found such a beautiful girlfriend, unlike my son who is almost thirty and still single."

Father Shen smiled and said, "What's the hurry? If fate comes, you can't stop it. Your son is so good, I just don't want to look for it."

The two greeted each other politely for a while, and then went home after posting the Spring Festival couplets.

There is no smoking ban in the Shen family, so after six o'clock, firecrackers sounded one after another, waking up Shen Maomao who was still sleeping.

The smell of preserved egg and lean meat porridge floated from the kitchen, and Shen Maomao floated up like a ghost, stepping on furry slippers to find someone in the kitchen.

Lou Jingmo was busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron from a nearby supermarket, and cooking porridge with a spoon.

According to their customs, breakfast and lunch are usually eaten together on New Year's Eve, or they only eat one breakfast to satisfy their hunger, and eat the melon and fruit snacks bought before when they are hungry at noon.

The rice in the pot was tumbling, and the heat gradually rose, forming a mist on the balcony door next to it.

She took two steps forward, hugged Lou Jingmo's waist from behind, rubbed her shoulders clingily, and asked knowingly, "Sister Lou... what do you have for breakfast?"

Lou Jingmo: "Are you blind?"

Shen Maomao: "..." Grass.

She rolled her eyes, let go of Lou Jingmo, opened the balcony door, and looked at the silver-clad world outside.

The street lamps in the community were covered with red lanterns, and the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out. Between the firelight and white smoke, children covered their ears and screamed and ran away. After the firecrackers were burned out, only red debris remained in the white snow. Make the winter colors less monotonous.

Shen Maomao moved: "Let's go downstairs and set off the cannons later?"

Lou Jingmo stirred the porridge: "Are you three years old?"

Shen Maomao: "I'm going to roll and I'll tell you."

Lou Jingmo: "Go, go right away, and go after dinner."

Shen Maomao showed a smile, and didn't dislike her incomprehensible style anymore. He hugged her waist from behind again and whispered to her: "When I was young, I liked Chinese New Year the most. My mother fried a bunch of meatballs and noodle spring rolls after Chinese New Year. , The oranges and apples at home are all bought in pieces. Before the Chinese New Year, my mother won't let me touch them. As soon as the New Year's Eve comes, the seal will be lifted immediately, and I will eat like crazy..."

Lou Jingmo pointed to the cabinet and whispered, "Where are your oranges?"

Shen Maomao: "Do you think I'm holding you in the way?"

Lou Jingmo: "How? How is it possible? Why do you think so?"

Shen Maomao: "I believe in your ghost! I'm going to pester you and annoy you to death."

Lou Jingmo couldn't help laughing: "Is it because you have been blackened?"

Shen Maomao: "!!!" Too much! !

"Oh——Little Lou, you..." Shen's mother pushed open the kitchen door from the outside, and then froze for a moment.

Lou Jingmo and Shen Maomao looked at the door at the same time, and they were both embarrassed.

Shen Maomao quickly let go of Lou Jingmo and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Shen's mother glared at her: "With a daughter-in-law, I forgot my mother, and came to stick to Xiaolou without saying hello after waking up?"

Shen Maomao: "Mom! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Here are the red envelopes!"

Her mother rolled her eyes: "Fuck off." After scolding, she looked at Lou Jingmo again: "Little Lou, you don't need to make the staple food after cooking the porridge. You can take out all the things that auntie fried yesterday."

Lou Jingmo nodded: "Good auntie, you are busy."

Shen's mother glared at Shen Maomao again, then went back to her room, and closed the door for them before she left.

But Shen Maomao was embarrassed to get sticky again, so he poured the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard to the dining table, and prepared breakfast together with Lou Jingmo.

Before breakfast, the four of them went downstairs to set off the earth red. The two big, two small and four people shouted Happy New Year amidst the sound of firecrackers. When they met other neighbors who came down to set off firecrackers, they all said happy new year to each other, and then went back separately. Have a meal.

After eating, it was past eight o'clock. Shen Maomao took a look at his phone and found that he had received a lot of New Year's greetings, so he sat on the sofa and began to reply to messages one by one.

Jin Mao complained to her a few words, saying that his sister and brother-in-law broke up completely, and now that the little nephew is at their house, he has changed from a cool son of a talented art student to a tool person who takes care of the children, and he is not happy at all.

Shen Maomao went back to him in a row hahaha, wishing him and Xixi a good time by the way.

There were also some messages that seemed to be sent in groups, and she also replied one by one with blessings.

After replying, she suddenly thought of something, opened the Weibo that she hadn't been on for a long time, and went to leave a message under Lou Jingmo's Weibo: [Shu Kuang Da~ In the next year, please take care of me~[pen] Core]], and then closed the phone contentedly.

After ten o'clock, Lou Jingmo was dragged downstairs by her.

There are firecrackers for sale in the small supermarket downstairs. There are all kinds of fairy sticks and cannons.

Shen Maomao now has a cash machine by his side, so he bought a lot of them regardless of the price. He used the word "prodigal" to the extreme, and gained a lot of envious eyes from children outside.

She became very playful, and played with Lou Jingmo until the afternoon, her little face was flushed with cold, and it was not until Mother Shen called her that she gave the rest of the cannon to the teenage children who followed them all afternoon , harvested a bunch of sweet "thank you sister".

In the past, on New Year’s Eve, before dinner, the family of three would gather together to fight landlords. This custom has lasted for more than ten years. This year, with Lou Jingmo, fighting landlords has changed to fighting for the upper reaches. Peck each other.

After playing poker until three o'clock, it's time to start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.Shen's father and Lou Jingmo entered the kitchen together, while Shen Maomao and Shen's mother were sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Because there were only four of them, Father Shen and Lou Jingmo prepared four dishes by themselves, and it was almost seven o'clock after dinner.

It was getting dark, and the sound of firecrackers outside the window never stopped.After the meal, Shen's mother began to mix the stuffing. Lou Jingmo helped her roll out the noodles she made in advance into dumpling wrappers. Shen Maomao knew nothing but making dumplings, so he could only move the panel to the coffee table in the living room. Work hard.

The Spring Festival Gala started after eight o'clock, and the four of them made dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

The current Spring Festival Gala is not as good as it is every year. It tastes like chicken ribs.In the past, Shen Maomao liked to complain while watching the show, and her mother said she was a badass every time. This year, she can finally complain to someone else, and Lou Jingmo is very face-saving. Not only does she listen to everything she says, but she also echoes it from time to time. Two sentences, almost moved her to tears.

Here, dumplings are usually eaten at twelve o'clock. After the dumplings are made, a few people eat melon seeds on the sofa while watching TV and chatting about family affairs.

Mother Shen was very curious about the Spring Festival in the south, so she grabbed Lou Jingmo and asked, "What do you usually eat during the New Year?"

Lou Jingmo: "It's similar to here, there will be some official activities in the evening."

"I heard that you don't eat dumplings when you watch the new year, but eat glutinous rice balls."

Lou Jingmo: "It may be a little further south, and we all eat dumplings."

Shen Maomao was already sleepy just listening to them talking like this.She leaned on Lou Jingmo's shoulder, drowsy, and ate the fruit one after another. Some of them didn't want to eat after taking a bite, so they stuffed it directly into Lou Jingmo's mouth. Yes, Lou Jingmo is full first.

At twelve o'clock in 10 minutes, Shen's mother started to boil water, and urged her to get dressed and go downstairs to prepare for shooting.

Father Shen took another earth red hanging with two thousand rings, and Shen Maomao dug out the fireworks and magic bullets he bought before, and rushed downstairs with Lou Jingmo.

The fireworks in the sky in the distance are brilliant, red, blue, and green are colorful, the community is brightly lit, and the red lanterns are swaying with the wind.

Shen Maomao exhaled a breath of hot air, and his whole body became sober in an instant.

Apart from them, there are many other people downstairs, some of them are preparing to set off cannons at twelve o'clock like them, and there are also some crazy brats running around the neighborhood with all kinds of cannons.

Father Shen found a place with few people and waited until twelve o'clock.

Shen Maomao pulled Lou Jingmo to release the magic bullet: "Sister Lou! Have you played this before?!"

Lou Jingmo shook his head.

Shen Maomao stuffed the magic bullet into her hand: "Get it, I'll light it for you!"

Lou Jingmo: "Can this be held directly by hand?"

Shen Maomao: "Of course! You lower down, I can't reach it."

Lou Jingmo sent the stick forward.

Shen Maomao lit the fuse with a lighter, then quickly stepped aside and said, "You face the sky! Don't rush forward!"

Lou Jingmo complied.

Shen Maomao ran to stand beside her, looking at the sky expectantly.

The magic bullet trembled slightly, and spit out a red fireball in an instant. The fireball exploded in mid-air, followed by the second and third shots...

Shen Maomao was more excited than playing by himself, and immediately asked her after playing one, "Is it fun?!"

Lou Jingmo said: "Generally, the smell of sulfur is too strong."

Shen Maomao gave her a blank look, and shook the plastic bag in front of her: "Let's put this in a while, magic bullets are cheap, so they are inferior, and my big firework is absolutely beautiful!"

Lou Jingmo smiled: "Okay, I'll wait and see."

Ten seconds before twelve o'clock, Father Shen set up the firecrackers, and Shen Maomao squatted in front of the fireworks.

five……

Four……

three……

Shen Maomao lit the fuse, and then pulled Lou Jingmo to hide in the distance.

two……

one……

The biggest bell in the city center is struck, echoing into the distance, heralding the arrival of the new year.

The crackling firecrackers kept ringing, and the fireworks in front of Shen Maomao instantly shot out four fireballs, which exploded in the sky like a beautiful dream.

All the people in the community looked up at the sky, and Shen Maomao excitedly took Lou Jingmo's hand and said, "It looks good! It looks good!"

Lou Jingmo looked at her face flushed with cold, and the corner of her mouth raised a big arc: "It looks good!"

Sensing something, Shen Maomao turned to look at her, met her eyes reflecting the color of fireworks, then gave her a big smile, rushed up and hugged her, and whispered in her ear : "Sister Lou, Happy New Year!"

Lou Jingmo hugged her back: "Happy New Year, and... Mao Mao, I love you."

……

Lou Jingmo had an indescribable feeling.

If she had to describe it...it would probably mean that her heart was about to melt.

She was never old.

Before I met Shen Maomao, every Spring Festival, she would write and revise manuscripts by herself in the apartment, which seemed to be not much different from the other 360 days of the year.

There are no Spring Festival couplets, no New Year’s Eve dinner, and no Spring Festival Gala.

In the past, she would sit on the bay window and watch the fireworks outside the window. Later, Nancheng issued a smoking ban, so she couldn't even see the fireworks at night.

That year she sat by the window until dawn, and never went there again.

Sometimes she envies Shen Maomao.

I envy her free and easy character, envy her optimistic attitude, and envy her harmonious family.

But Shen Maomao gave all of this to her without reservation.

The past images are being deleted from her mind frame by frame, and new images are being added, which are Shen Maomao who is smiling, Shen Maomao who is crying, Shen Maomao who is kissing her, and she is so angry that she can't say no. Shen Maomao who spoke...

She is no longer lonely, because now there are fireworks for her; she is no longer lonely, because there is a heart that is tightly attached to her.

If all the hardships she had suffered in the past twenty years were all for meeting Shen Maomao... then she felt that everything was worth it.

There was a wet feeling on the face, and it was Shen Maomao's cold lips that fell on it.

Shen Maomao hugged her neck tightly, and shouted under the cover of the sound of firecrackers and fireworks: "Lou-jing-mo-! I-love-you-!"

Lou Jingmo: "I'm going to be deafened by you!"

Shen Maomao laughed foolishly: "Master is happy today!"

Lou Jingmo smiled: "I'm happy too!"

Father Shen: "Don't be ashamed, the dumplings should be cooked, go home and eat dumplings."

Shen Maomao made a face at her father: "Slightly slightly."

Shen's father couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't have a serious face. I saw it for Xiao Lou. You fight against the cold. Xiao Lou is from the south, so I will catch a cold again."

Shen Maomao stuffed Lou Jingmo's hand into his neck, grinning his teeth from the cold: "Then let's go back and eat dumplings!!"

……

Mother Shen wrapped four sterilized steel coins into the dumplings. Whoever eats them will have good luck for a year.So while eating, Shen Maomao poked around with chopsticks, and her mother was so angry that she wanted to whip her with chopsticks.

Fortunately, she poked one before being beaten, and immediately put the dumpling into Lou Jingmo's bowl: "Sister Lou! This is for you to eat!"

Lou Jingmo was a little surprised: "Didn't you pinch it for yourself?"

Shen Maomao: "I'll hug your thigh, as long as you're lucky, how far can I go?"

Shen's mother also picked up two dumplings and put them in Lou Jing's ink bowl: "Xiao Lou eat hard, look how skinny you are."

Lou Jingmo looked at the two dumplings that were obviously different in shape from other dumplings, and felt a little sour for a while.

She picked up one and wanted to put it in Shen Maomao's bowl, but Shen Maomao put her hand on the bowl and wouldn't let her put it, so she could only eat all three dumplings under the expectant eyes of the two of them, and she really got out of it. took three coins.

Shen Maomao was happier than he had eaten it himself, and exaggeratedly said: "Wow! You actually ate three! You will be prosperous in the new year!"

Shen's father didn't know what happened at all: "Oh, Xiao Lou is so lucky, the door is open!"

Lou Jingmo just laughed, and the arc of the corner of his mouth never came down.

After eating the dumplings, this year is considered to be the end of the year. Shen's mother and Shen's father prepared two red envelopes for each of them. Lou Jingmo didn't want to accept it, but Shen's mother moved out the banner of "If you don't accept it, you don't treat us as elders" , she had no choice but to accept it.

After returning to the room, Shen Maomao secretly compared his own red envelope with Lou Jingmo's.

There is no difference in the thickness of the two red envelopes. It seems that her parents are still on the right side, and there is no preference for one over another.

Lou Jingmo wanted to give her the red envelope: "You take it all."

Shen Maomao: "No, we are going to sleep with red envelopes on our pillows tonight."

Lou Jingmo: "Is there still such a saying?"

"Yes, anyway, you put this away first, but it's okay to take it apart and have a look."

She opened Lou Jingmo's first, and put ten 100 yuan in a red envelope, and two of them were 2000 yuan. Her parents are quite generous.

Then she started to open her own, and ten green banknotes were shaken out from the red envelope, even her face was green.

She didn't give up, and opened her father's again, and there were ten emerald green banknotes.

Shen Maomao was going to the next room to reason with her parents on the spot.

Her parents gave her a total of 20 yuan as New Year's money! !Person in charge? ? ! !

Lou Jingmo suppressed a smile, and pulled her back: "It's alright, alright, don't be angry, I will keep all my money for you, and all uncles and aunts are asleep. We will talk about things tomorrow."

Only then did Shen Maomao give up, and angrily pressed the money under the pillow.

Lou Jingmo came over and kissed the corner of her mouth: "Okay, it's late, go to bed quickly."

Shen Maomao snorted, lay down obediently, and started snoring after a while.

Lou Jingmo touched her soft belly, and seemed to hear her muttering in a drowsy state: "New Year's money... one hundred...", the corners of his lips curled up in the darkness, and he laughed silently.

The next morning, the first thing Shen Maomao did after waking up was to argue with her mother: "What do you mean?! Why did you give me 20 yuan and Lou Jingmo two thousand? Are you looking down on me?"

Shen's father pointed to Shen's mother: "Your mother made it."

Mother Shen: "How old are you, do you still want red envelopes?"

Shen Maomao: "I'm not your little baby anymore..."

Shen's mother: "With Xiao Lou, who wants you? Go and stay wherever it's cool."

Shen Maomao burst into tears, crying and looking for Lou Jingmo for comfort.

Lou Jingmo simply handed in his red envelope.

Shen Maomao took the red envelope again, and went to her mother triumphantly: "So what if you don't give it to me? Isn't it in my hands now?"

Shen's mother gave her a mentally retarded look.

Shen Maomao got the money, but there was no joy in his heart.

……

After the first day of junior high school, it is the day when everyone visits relatives everywhere.

Lou Jingmo had a little fever because of being frozen, so he could only stay at home.

Shen Maomao was a little worried about her, and went home with her parents to pay New Year's greetings, received a red envelope, and ran home, especially heartless.

Her eldest aunt asked strangely: "Why is Xiaotu in a hurry? Why don't you play here anymore?"

Shen's mother "clicked" and bit the skin of the melon seeds: "She is in Cao Ying and her heart is in Han, she flew home long ago to find her partner."

Hearing what she said, the relatives around cast gossip eyes in an instant: "Has Xiaotu had a crush?"

"Whose boy?"

"What?"

"Is he handsome or not?"

Shen's mother sat on the stool, raised her hand and pressed down, signaling for everyone to keep quiet: "Let me answer in unison, my family's Mao Mao is a woman, she is very beautiful, and she is the big boss of the company. Mao is a good match, so don't ask me one by one from now on!"

The scene was quiet for a moment, and then the pot exploded, and immediately asked around Mama Shen.

At this time, Shen Maomao had already boarded the bus to go home.

After arriving home, she took the keys and went straight to the elevator. After returning home, she took off her shoes and hung up her clothes in one go. Then she carefully opened the door of her room and poked her head to look inside.

Because of the cold, Lou Jingmo shrank under the quilt with only his head exposed.She slept deeply, with a cooling patch on her forehead, and her face was pink from the heat, like a newly ripened peach, revealing a rare fragility, which made Shen Maomao's little heart thump, in her heart He scolded himself a beast.

She closed the door carefully, sat down in the living room, plugged in headphones to her phone and started watching videos to pass the time.

Obviously, she couldn't talk to Lou Jingmo like she was at a relative's house, but her heart somehow settled down.

An hour later, Shen Maomao's mobile phone received a message from Lou Jingmo: 【Have you eaten yet?Are children making trouble?Did you have fun? 】

Shen Maomao replied: [What about you?Have you eaten?Is the fever gone? 】

Lou Jingmo: 【Eat, retired, when will you come back? 】

Shen Maomao typed quickly: [You lied, you didn't eat at all! 】

Lou Jingmo: [What?Did you put a surveillance camera on me? 】

Shen Maomao: [I know magic, if you lie, the light in my heart will turn red! 】

Lou Jingmo: [I believe in your evil]

Shen Maomao walked over and pushed open the door of the room: "Dangdang Dangdang! Surprise!"

Lou Jingmo looked at her in surprise: "Why did you come back so early?!"

Sitting next to her, Shen Maomao touched her forehead with her eyelids, and said while feeling it: "I came back first by myself. Well... it seems that it's not very hot, I'll get you a glass of water ,What do you want to eat?"

Lou Jingmo took her hand: "I want you to stay with me."

Shen Maomao covered his nose.

Grass!Sister Lou who is acting like a baby! !Who can bear this! ! !

The author has something to say: Happy Chinese New Year! ! ! !
