Back to the Northeast 1970

Lu Xiangbei said so, but he really dared to do it. He really took out his belt and prepared to tie Yan Baoshu so that he couldn't go anywhere.Yan Baoshu had done what he was supposed to do anyway, so he simply let Lu Xiangbei mess around.Yan Baoshu put his hands together, and after Lu Xiangbei tied his hands with his trouser belt, Yan Baoshu fell down on the kang tiredly, closed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep for a while, call me after dinner."

"Don't sleep yet." Lu Xiangbei was afraid that Yan Baoshu would really fall asleep, so he stretched out his nimble toes, twisted Yan Baoshu's face like pliers, and said with a smile, "Does it stink?"

Yan Baoshu tilted his head, avoiding Lu Xiangbei's feet, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Lu Xiangbei lay down on his stomach, tugged at the waistband of his trousers and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is fifteen, we have to get up early to make dumplings."

"Is it the fifteenth day tomorrow?" Yan Baoshu blinked, smiled innocently and said, "I didn't remember it unless you said it. Oh, by the way, you just said that we are going to make dumplings tomorrow?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Yan Baoshu was very puzzled, "Isn't Lantern Festival supposed to eat Yuanxiao?"

"What festival? What else is Lantern Festival?"

Well, Yan Baoshu seems to have said something particularly remarkable.In fact, this cannot be blamed on Lu Xiangbei, because of the restrictions of the general environment, many people nowadays do not know that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, let alone eat Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, while in the south It is called glutinous rice balls.Of course, there is still an essential difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan, and the taste is slightly different.For example, in Northeast China, people eat Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival. Boiling, steaming and frying are both acceptable, but Yan Baoshu personally only eats boiled ones. In his memory, his mother once made fried Yuanxiao. Li was in a panic.Therefore, Lu Xiangbei's ignorance is understandable. According to the habits of the people here, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is as simple as making dumplings.In addition, the children are looking forward to the day when the food can be improved again.

"Ah... I don't know how to explain this, so just pretend I didn't say it." Yan Baoshu really couldn't explain it, so he had to prevaricate casually.

Lu Xiangbei glanced at Yan Baoshu suspiciously, and then restored his smiling face, he said: "You must have never played before, there is still a glass lantern at Shuanzi's place, and I will ask him to take it out tomorrow night... oops " Lu Xiangbei was startled, and slapped his forehead, "I don't know if my second uncle's house has any candles."

Yan Baoshu has an impression of glass lanterns. He used to play with them when he was young. The four sides of the rectangular glass stand upright. If the conditions are good, the family will use metal as the frame. If the conditions are not good, they will use paper strips and paste. Paste and other things glue the four sides of the glass together. At night, he will carry a glass lantern with candles lit inside to go out to play.This is the so-called "Lights of Thousands of Houses", because every child in every household will carry one of these lanterns in their hands.

In addition, there are some people whose conditions are even more difficult, and they don't even have paper sticky lanterns. In order not to make their children greedy, those adults came up with a way, that is, twisted cotton into a stick, glued with kerosene Light it, but this method can't keep the flames going for a long time. The flames on the cotton are already extinguished before many children run out of the house, which really makes people feel distressed.

"Then ask my uncle and aunt during dinner."

Lu Xiangbei nodded, and then excitedly said: "Also, I asked my dad to make 'Di Chuu' and 'Xiao Huo' for us. Tomorrow night, let's call Gu Jun to play together."

These two words are very strange to Yan Baoshu, what is a sneak out, and what is a small fire?Although Yan Baoshu didn't understand, he didn't ask. He might know what it was when he saw it tomorrow.This happens every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, not to mention the children, even Lu Xiangbei and Yan Baoshu's age love this festival very much.The reason why Lu Xiangbei is so excited is that besides the joy of the festival, he probably also has a small thought of wanting to celebrate the festival with Yan Baoshu?Yan Baoshu thought so himself.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to be passionate once or twice once in a while!

The two of them ate dinner in Pianxiazi as usual. Although the food was not as rich as last night, the two of them were not picky eaters. They ate the rice in the bowl with big mouthfuls. After taking them away, the two of them turned off the lights and fell asleep early.

The room was so quiet, and after an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiangbei's voice suddenly pierced the darkness, "Hey, are you asleep?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lu Xiangbei pricked up his ears, "Listen, isn't it windy outside?"

Yan Baoshu listened for a while, "Could it be snowing?"

"Can't you? It's snowing and the mountains are closed." Lu Xiangbei put his hands together in front of his chest, "God bless, don't snow, otherwise I won't be able to leave a good memory for Comrade Baoshu. "

Yan Baoshu chuckled, "Lu Xiangbei, you can do it, I'm not as hypocritical as you think, I don't recall any memories." Yan Baoshu's voice became deeper and deeper, "Actually, I am already satisfied to be able to spend this year with you. "

Lu Xiangbei hummed in the dark, then patted the quilt on his body, "Are you cold? I'm cold."

This is provocative, right?Yan Baoshu raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to sleep under the blanket?"

"Okay, brother has that intention." Lu Xiangbei lifted the quilt and got into Yan Baoshu's bed, then covered the two of them with his own quilt, and let out a long breath, "This way Much warmer."

The two of them pressed close together, feeling each other's body temperature, Yan Baoshu felt very comfortable at this moment, he could already predict that this night's sleep would be the most comforting one ever.As for what Lu Xiangbei was thinking at the moment, Yan Baoshu had no time to think about it. Today, he walked around with Gu Jun all afternoon. He was extremely tired, and his injured foot seemed to be slightly swollen from walking too much.

The next day, just after dawn, Lu Xiangbei got up. He pushed Yan Baoshu who was still asleep, "Get up, let's go over and help make dumplings."

"Yeah." Yan Baoshu sat up and yawned, his soft and thick black hair was messy on his head, a bit like a bird's nest, but it looked extremely cute.Lu Xiangbei watched Yan Baoshu get up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pinch Yan Baoshu's face like a rare baby, "Seriously, if we were in the same family, I, the elder brother, would spoil you to the sky and turn you into a sweetheart." Become the second Yan Baolong."

Yan Baoshu grinned and smirked: "Then I have to thank you, Brother Xiang Bei."

"Hahahahaha, you're welcome, I just called you Brother Xiangbei, it's only right to spoil you."

Yan Baoshu smiled sweetly, rushed over and hugged Lu Xiangbei without restraint, and pecked lightly on his lips, "Brother Xiangbei, goodm!"

Lu Xiangbei was dumbfounded, stunned, and then smiled again. He blushed and scratched his head, "What kind of bird language are you talking, I don't understand."

"Oh, let's do it again." Yan Baoshu hugged Lu Xiangbei's head again, and pecked lightly on his lips, "Good morning, Brother Xiangbei."

Lu Xiangbei smiled foolishly, but he was so bright and energetic. This is a young boy who is growing up. His appearance, personality, and everything are unfolding in front of Yan Baoshu's eyes, forming circles of great halos. Yan Baoshu felt that there was nothing he would cherish more than this moment. He tried hard to remember this morning, and he really wanted to have such a beautiful morning, a morning that only belonged to the two of them and Lu Xiangbei said the last sentence, "I like you."

"Huh?" Seeing that Yan Baoshu was stunned, Lu Xiangbei stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes twice, jokingly said, "Look at me right? Am I so good-looking?"

Yan Baoshu came back to his senses, laughed and scolded: "You are so beautiful."

Lu Xiangbei pouted, "Insincere, you're not honest enough, but I didn't expect what you did suddenly just now, haha...haha."

"Stupid you, this is called a good morning kiss."

Lu Xiangbei smirked and said, "I figured it out. You know so much, you kid. You know what I don't know. You know what I know better than I do. From now on..."

While putting on his clothes, Yan Baoshu waited for Lu Xiangbei's next words. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound, so he turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiangbei, "What's going on?"

Lu Xiangbei hugged his shoulders and said with a gruff smile: "From now on... I have to..." After speaking, Lu Xiangbei rushed towards Yan Baoshu, scratching his armpits with both hands, "In the future I will I have to mess with you."

Yan Baoshu couldn't help laughing after being scratched, "Hahaha, you've been...hahaha early in the morning, stop making trouble, and be careful of your legs."

"No, I have to find a way to cure you, or you won't be able to ride on my neck."

Yan Baoshu smiled and said, "Come on, you've tied me up with your trouser belt, what else can I do to you."

"I need to save some face."

"Oh, stop making trouble, it's so itchy...hahahaha."

The two of them huddled together, not paying attention to whether there was anyone outside, until the door was opened from the outside, and the auntie poked her head in and said with a smile, "What are these two children doing so early in the morning?"

Lu Xiangbei turned his head and said with a smile: "Auntie, why don't Baoshu accept me, I have to take care of him."

The little aunt smiled and twisted her mouth, "Clean up, I'm going to make dumplings."

Yan Baoshu's blood boiled with excitement, his face was flushed, he pushed Lu Xiangbei away forcefully, "Lu Xiangbei, I seriously warn you, stop making trouble, we have to go over and help make dumplings."

Lu Xiangbei was also tired, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you help me put on my socks, I won't make trouble."

"I'm so used to you." Although Yan Baoshu blamed Lu Xiangbei in his mouth, he really took Lu Xiangbei's socks and put them on his feet without disdain, and he was about to wear them. After getting up, Lu Xiangbei suddenly held Yan Baoshu's hand, Yan Baoshu raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiangbei pursed his lips and said with a slight smile, "It's still the same sentence, Baoshu, you are so kind."

Yan Baoshu didn't know if he was too sure. He thought that the relationship between himself and Lu Xiangbei had developed a little bit, instead of the original situation, which was still standing still.Of course, it is unknown how long Yan Baoshu's position in Lu Xiangbei's heart can only be maintained.

The two of them were fully dressed, and Yan Baoshu helped Lu Xiangbei go to the back room, where the whole family sat around and started making dumplings.The flour used to make dumplings is a rare fine flour, which Lu Jianjun brought back from the city. As for the dumpling filling, there is no trick at all, sauerkraut meat, like this all year round.

The family has been busy all morning. After cooking dumplings at noon, the adults gather together to chat and play flower cards, while the children wait for the night to fall.The waiting process was particularly boring. Yan Baoshu moved the bench and sat at the door with Lu Xiangbei looking outside, "What do you think Gu Jun is doing at home?"

Lu Xiangbei looked at the courtyard, thought for a while and said, "I guess he is eating dumplings, don't worry, he will definitely come to us after eating."

As Lu Xiangbei said, at the moment of nightfall, Gu Jun swaggered over, carrying a bag of fried soybeans in his hand. Although the grains were not big, they were extremely crunchy and salty when chewed. Appropriate, this is definitely a good snack in this era.

With Gu Jun, the family immediately became lively. Shuan Zizhu dug out the old glass lantern from the warehouse at home. Because there were no candles, he had to put kerosene in a small dish, lit it with cotton as a wick and placed it in the yard. inside.It was rare for the two little girls to help out with the housework, so they also sat in the yard with this group of young men and played.

Lu Jianjun asked someone to ask Lu Xiangbei for Dichuliu and Xiaoshenghuo. After reading it, Yan Baoshu found out that Dichuliu is the modern version of full ground rolling, and Xiaoshenghuo is the modern second kicker, but the power is definitely not as good as the modern version. , the condition is like this, some playing is worse than sitting dry.

Gu Jun stretched the Shuanzi pillars and released Xiaohuo, only to hear a squeak, Xiaohuo flew into the sky, its power was really not as powerful as that of Er Tijiao, but more like the sky-scurrying monkey.Yan Baoshu sat next to Lu Xiangbei and whispered, "In the future, we can see better and more beautiful fireworks."

"What did you say?" Lu Xiangbei's ears were sharp. Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, he was sure that Yan Baoshu had spoken.

Yan Baoshu smiled slightly, "It's nothing."
