Hedgehog

In the past few days, I have gradually made my home look good. I spent a few decent years with my grandma before I was seven years old. I can’t remember how to celebrate the new year, so I went to Ye Ning’s house for nothing. Walk around, I will do what he does.I don’t know where he learned so many time-consuming and labor-intensive gadgets. I went to his house the day I sent the Kitchen God off and found him carving narcissus.

This is the first time I saw someone do this—he took an art knife, cut off half of a complete narcissus ball, left the flower buds, soaked them in clean water for a long time, and then placed them in a pot with rain flower stones.

I was also idle, and watched patiently for half an hour. For half an hour, the two of us did nothing, and all our eyes fell on these narcissus balls.Especially Ye Ning, looking at his meticulous and serious appearance, if he didn't have the ball in his hand, I would have thought he was painting a portrait of the Queen of England.

Finally I couldn't bear it anymore.

"What are you doing with the daffodil ball?"

"Help it bloom." Ye Ning said confidently, "The one I engraved originally opened early, and now I will engrave another one, just in time for the end of the Spring Festival."

"I have a question." I asked him earnestly, "Before the emergence of enthusiastic people like you, the daffodils could not bloom, so how did they reproduce?"

Ye Ning heard the sarcasm in my words.

"Carved balls have many benefits. One is to shape the narcissus, so that the leaves and flowers grow straight, and it can also control the flowering period and accelerate flowering."

"Then why don't you buy potted flowers?"

"It's a custom. My family's narcissus is carved by myself. It has been carved by my grandfather and my father. This has become a tradition in my family for the New Year. Don't stare at me, this is life... "Ye Ning put his baby narcissus in order: "Wait, I'll wash my hands and get you some snacks. This year's coconut shredded balls in Daoxiang Village are pretty good. Do you eat beef tongue cakes? This one is salty. Tomorrow we will go to the Temple of Earth Are you going to the temple fair?"

When Ji Rongfu came back, I was trying to eat my newly bought dim sum. The dining table was full. He just came in from the outside and was picking up a scarf. Seeing this scene, he suddenly smiled: "Where do you get so much food?"

"I just bought it. By the way, do you know that the dim sum in Daoxiang Village is named after the 24 solar terms?"

"Really?" Ji Rongfu didn't even know.

I fed him a stutter, and he raised his eyebrows: "What is this, it's not bad."

"Red jujube cake, the full name is Daxue jujube cake." I told him, "I've already prepared to forget that next year I will eat it from Lichun to Dahan."

Ji Rongfu laughed and kissed me on the cheek.

He picked up the things on the dining table.

"What is this?" He was puzzled: "Why did you cut the white onion like this? Is there any new dish?"

"It's not cooking, I'm just practicing my hands." The ghost knows that even onions are so difficult to carve. If Ye Ning's plate of narcissus falls into my hands, they will be lucky if they survive, let alone blossom.

"By the way, Yang Yue is on vacation today. During this time, you can ask Zhou Jin for anything you want, and you can tell him where you want to have New Year's Eve dinner." Ji Rongfu never cared about Zhou Jin's life or death.

"Didn't your family ask you to go home for the New Year?" I asked knowingly.

Ji Rongfu touched my hair helplessly.

"They asked me to take you home for the New Year, but I guess you don't really want to go, and Rong Ze went back this year, so it doesn't matter if I go back or not."

To be reasonable, Ji Rongze will go home for the New Year, which is quite beyond my expectation.

"You and Ji Rongze..." I started the conversation, but I felt a little unconvinced when talking about this topic with my hands full of snacks, so I could only ask him instead: "Do you want to go home for the New Year?"

In fact, this is even more of a nonsense question. Ji Rongfu has been abroad for so many years, and this year he will be considered to have completely returned to China. Even if his relationship with his family is not very good, he will still want to go home for the New Year.What's more, I have a broken hand, and there is no aunt at home. Beijing is empty when the New Year arrives. The two of us go to the hotel for a New Year's Eve dinner. How pitiful it is.

"actually……"

Ji Rongfu only said one word, and I made a decision.

"Okay, I've decided to go to your house to celebrate the New Year." I didn't give him a chance to veto: "And Ji Rongze said that Aunt Xu's cooking skills can't even enter the kitchen in your house. I also want to see your New Year's Eve." What kind of battle is dinner."

"That's good." Ji Rongfu still looked like nothing was necessary.

"Do you want to bring some greetings?"

"Zhou Jin will help you get ready."

I lowered my head and continued to eat snacks. After eating for a while, I felt something was wrong: "Why do I feel that I have been tricked?"

"Really? No." Ji Rongfu lowered his head and kissed me, smiling with crooked eyes.

The day before the Chinese New Year, Ye Ning took Xia Huaian home to bump into a wall. When he left, he was full of confidence, saying that he had bought a pot of precious orchids, and his father would definitely let him in. It was only eight o'clock in the morning. I was half asleep and half awake to hear him express his determination, and fell asleep again, but when I woke up, I received a call from him, saying pitifully that his father still wouldn't let him in.

I almost laughed out loud, listening to him complaining on the phone for a while, and asked him: "Then your orchid is useless, so just give it to me, I just gave it to Ji Rongfu's family."

Ye Ning was so angry that I hung up the phone.

In fact, I was teasing him, Zhou Jin got half of the things in the car, I rummaged through it, ate half a box of snacks, and laughed: "It looks like I didn't buy it."

No matter how you look at it, I am not someone who can afford wild ginseng.

However, the Ji family is very supportive, and it may be to save Ji Rongfu's face, and they have prepared people to pick them up outside. This area should be all their family friends, and there are guards. Surprisingly, when I went in, I saw a beautiful car parked outside, and I found out it was Ji Rongze's car after I asked.

Begonias are planted in Ji’s yard, which is bare in winter. I stopped to look at the tree. Ji Rongfu probably thought I was going to run away, so he held my hand. His palm was very warm, so I let him hold it. .

The first person I saw was Lin Caiwei. There was heating in the room. She was wearing a cheongsam, and she was sitting sideways at the table talking to Ji Rongze. As soon as we walked in, both of them were relieved.

"I'm back." She said this to Ji Rongfu, but she nodded her head reservedly to me, with a kind of forbearing pride.Her sharp eyes quickly glanced at my hand.

"Hello, Aunt Ji." I smiled at her frankly, and exchanged glances with Ji Rongze. This guy is dressed very well today, with a gray coat and a light-colored scarf, and he is still thin.

Aunt Xu made tea and everyone sat down, but Lin Caiwei stood up: "Rong Fu, come out with me."

Ji Rongfu leaned over and whispered in my ear, telling me: "I'll be right back." Then he walked out with her generously. I knew he did it on purpose. No wonder Aunt Xu said that Ji Rongfu had a bad relationship with his family. The scenes of getting along are really wonderful.

Ji Rongze and I were the only ones left in the room, it was terribly quiet, there were cinnabar plum blossoms in the vase, and the paintings on the walls were all from the Republic of China. I took a look at Ji Rongze, and the two looked at each other and smiled inexplicably.

"Any new jokes to tell?" Ji Rongze raised his eyebrows.

"No." I picked up the dim sum cut into long cubes on the plate and tasted it, which tasted a bit like jujube cake: "Where's your dad?"

"I ran away in anger." He smiled happily at me.

"Is your car outside? Not bad."

"The previous one was not bad, but unfortunately it was crashed." He deliberately aroused my curiosity.

I knew that talking to him would not end well, so I simply changed the subject and looked around: "Why does your family look so poor? There are not as many babies in your yard."

"My dad is timid and doesn't like to make public, so he hides everything."

I love his candor.

"Why did your mother take Ji Rongfu out?"

"It's a long story." He lightly tapped the red sandalwood tabletop with his fingers: "Do you know why Rong Fu can't get along with the family?"

"I thought it was because of me."

Ji Rongze laughed out loud.

"Rong Fu wants to go into business, but my father disagrees, saying that there is no soil in the country to support multinational conglomerates, and they will naturally be harvested when they grow to a certain extent. Holding power in your hands is the last word. But Rong Fu feels that the future direction must be Capital determines politics. He has already laid the foundation abroad, so he will give up this corner of the country. He doesn’t want to tie his business with his family. My father is going crazy with anger now. Throw away all my hard work." He smiled at me: "As for you, it's just my mother who is struggling."

I actually wanted to ask him a question, but I guess he would put my head in the fish tank after I asked.

What I want to ask him is: Then when you come back to celebrate the New Year, do you want to pick up all these things?

I'm not interested in fish tanks though.

"What about you, whose idea do you think is more correct?"

Ji Rongze's fingers knocking on the table slowed down.

"I am greedy for enjoyment, and the worst thing I can do is to be poor. My dad thinks it is the most important thing to keep the cake I get, but I think the old cake is tasteless." It's too demeaning to fight in person. Maybe I will walk out a path that no one can think of..."

"What's the different way?" I asked, seeing that he didn't say anything, I felt bored: "Tch, you're in the fog, and you're talking about Zen?"

Ji Rongze laughed out loud.

"The three of us will discuss how to go this way tonight." He actually reached out and touched my head: "As for you, just stay and chat with my mother."

I just fucking knew the bastard never thought of me as an adult.

Fortunately, I had solved him at the beginning, and I was worried that he would be forced to have psychological problems.
