Rebirth of Private Chef Xiao Ai

Chapter 18

"Lousheng, it's time to eat Yuanxiao!" The sound of crackling firecrackers woke Gu Lousheng out of his sleep. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sky roughly through the window paper. It seemed that the sun hadn't come out yet.He turned over on the bed, pulled the quilt over his head with both hands, and just planned to go back to sleep again.

But it was only then that sleepiness was brewing in a daze, and before Gu Lousheng fell asleep, he was yelled at by Song Cheng's loud voice through the window.Eat Yuanxiao?It seems that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and we are going to eat Yuanxiao.After being woken up the second time, Gu Lousheng tossed and turned on the bed in a very uncomfortable mood, his eyes were closed, and he was rapidly filtering information in his mind.

However, it's not yet light, so what to eat!

"Lousheng hasn't gotten up yet?" Dou'er was holding a bowl of glutinous rice balls with red bean paste, sucking sugar water, chewing the glutinous rice balls vaguely and standing next to Song Cheng.Dou'er is the same as Gu Lousheng, except for glutinous rice balls with bean paste, he doesn't eat any fillings.Chang Xin said that the two of them were hard to serve, so he gave them glutinous rice without stuffing for Lantern Festival, and told Song Cheng not to make their mouths worse.But Song Cheng just listened to it with a smile, then turned around and picked out the red beans carefully, ground them carefully with a stone mill, made them into bean paste stuffing and wrapped them in glutinous rice balls, thinking in his heart that he must give them the best!

But at night, Gu Lou was not seen giving birth to the house, and everyone felt that they must be tired, so let him sleep after the Chinese New Year, and it will be night after he sleeps.Song Cheng shook his head, a little helpless, no wonder Gu Lousheng couldn't get out of bed today.Last night, Gu Linsheng sent Chang Xin to go to bed early, and then suggested that the Lantern Festival would be after midnight anyway, and it was considered a small New Year's Eve, so he might as well hang it up.So Dou'er, Gu Lousheng, Gu Linsheng and Song Cheng spent most of the night on the horse hanging, and they didn't fall asleep until early in the morning.

Small gambling is fun, let alone big Chinese New Year, when the family gathers to have fun, it is harmless.Gu Linsheng was very interested, and proposed to count five copper coins. If he was lucky and got all cards or thirteen, then he would directly count ten taels of silver.Douer used to be lucky every year during the Chinese New Year, and he was always able to win cards continuously. Although he was either self-drawing or missing a hand every time, although the number of wins was not many, but the number of times was more and he accumulated some small fortunes. .

But this year when the four of them fought overnight, Gu Lousheng and Gu Linsheng lost terribly. Gu Linsheng turned over the bottom of his purse.Gu Lousheng was also very surprised, he lost no less than his elder brother, and in the end he even gave Song Cheng his purse!They played all night, although Dou'er still won some small money, but most of the money went into Song Cheng's pocket.

After the very first lap, Song Cheng played a few sets by himself, or the double bars and the exposed bars were missing one, which was similar to Douer's two.Everyone didn't pay attention at first, but after the lap was over, they changed their positions. As a result, Song Cheng sat in Gu Linsheng's position just now, and started to make cards of all colors, all colors, no dragons, and seven pairs of lands, which hurt Gu Linsheng and Gu Lousheng. A few taels of silver were sent to Song Cheng's pocket.

In the end, Gu Linsheng lost everything, but he was in such a good mood, Song Cheng felt embarrassed that he had won too much, he smiled and said that he would give Song Cheng a red envelope, anyway, the family, Song Cheng will also give his son a red envelope in the future of!After Gu Lousheng got Song Cheng's promise to use the money he won tonight to cook him a delicious meal, he went to sleep with peace of mind. As a result, he slept until now.

"It's late at night, if you don't get up to eat again, Daddy should be scolding, and I'm sure Guan will give Lou Sheng a bowl of glutinous rice balls to eat." Douer ate up the glutinous rice balls in his bowl, and licked his spoon. Standing at the side gave Song Cheng a bad idea, feeling that the spoon was covered with the aroma of bean paste: "Why don't you go in and lift his quilt and drag him up, he must have woken up and thought it was still dark outside because of the darkness Woolen cloth!"

Dou'er tried her best to put on a sullen face, and walked away with the bowl in her hand. When she walked out of the backyard, she glanced at Song Cheng who walked into Gu Lousheng's room out of the corner of her eye, and then made sure that no one had seen her, so she burst out laughing. Eyes are gone.That was a bad idea he gave to Song Cheng, but Song Cheng really listened to it!

Sure enough, after about half an hour, everyone in the main room saw an embarrassed Song Cheng and a tiger-faced Gu Lousheng walking in.Douer winked at Chang Xin, which made Chang Xin smile, and even Gu Linsheng couldn't help joking: "Lou Sheng, with your expression, haven't you slept enough?"

Gu Lousheng didn't answer his elder brother's words, but gave Song Cheng an angry look. Song Cheng handed over a bowl of glutinous rice balls, added some sugar, stirred them with a spoon, and said, "It's stuffed with bean paste. After hearing this, Gu Lousheng really took the bowl, looked up at Song Cheng's embarrassment and wanting to please, and felt that most of his anger disappeared immediately. He blew on the hot air, took a bite of the glutinous rice balls, and felt that the bean paste melted in his mouth. It's so fine!After eating this bowl of glutinous rice balls, the remaining half of Gu Lousheng's anger disappeared.

Gu Linsheng smiled and served Chang Xin another bowl of sesame glutinous rice balls. The couple looked at each other and understood that Song Cheng had really mastered the trick of coaxing Gu Lousheng!

After eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, a few people were just about to eat melon seeds and chat, when Douer suddenly jumped up, said goodbye to everyone, and ran outside.After a few people asked, it was only then that Dou'er asked Gong Ping to set off lanterns by the river on this small New Year's Eve!Originally, he was going to go out early, but when Douer was happy eating glutinous rice balls, he was delayed.

When Song Cheng heard that the lanterns were set off, a light flashed in his eyes, which was caught by Gu Lousheng.When Song Cheng was young, he didn't have the fun that children should have experienced during the Spring Festival and other festivals every year.In the past during the Lantern Festival, he would look out at the sky through the small window of the kitchen, and only then could he see a lot of lanterns, which in the eyes of children were so beautiful that they couldn't be seen.

Gu Lousheng didn't know about this, he just saw that Song Cheng seemed to be very interested in putting the lanterns on, so he simply put the melon seeds and asked Song Cheng, "Do you want to go together?" After thinking about it, Gu Lousheng Sheng was also afraid that Song Cheng would think he had mentioned it specially, recalled the change of mood during this period, quickly put a jujube in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It happens that our family also puts out every year, one lamp per person, praying for blessings. Yes, this year, I will also add a lamp for you."

Song Cheng was very surprised when he heard Gu Lousheng's words, especially the last sentence.He knew that there was a custom in Lin'an that was not followed by everyone, it was an unwritten custom, that is, if the family would put out lanterns to pray for blessings during the Lantern Festival, then as many people as there are in the family would put up as many lanterns as possible. Even the youngest doll should be counted, representing the whole family's blessings for him in the coming year.

He specially added a lamp for himself... Song Cheng raised his head to look at Gu Linsheng and Chang Xin, and found that they were nodding their heads as a matter of course. His heart felt warm, and his hands holding the bowl trembled slightly.In the past six months, he seemed to have lived the past 20 years again. He lost his original life, but got a new family!He finished the soup with a smile and said, "Go, of course!"

Gong Ping saw more than Douer coming from a long distance, and felt a little embarrassed when his face became hot, but Gu Lousheng said that he didn't come to disturb the two of them to promote their relationship, and let the two children play by themselves go.Song Cheng didn't know how to make lanterns, so he was only responsible for getting the materials. Gu Lousheng squatted on the ground, found a stone by the river, and put the paste that Song Cheng made in the afternoon on it.

This year's Lantern Festival is full of moonlight, there are no floating clouds to cover it, and the moonlight shines down. Song Cheng stands at Gu Lousheng's side, looking at Gu Lousheng's chin outlined in the night.Gu Lousheng was holding a bamboo raft, squinting his eyes, weaving a simple lamp against the moonlight, concentrating and carefully.Song Cheng looked at it, then turned his head abruptly, not daring to look any further.Look again, he is afraid that he will swallow his saliva!

Gu Lousheng didn't notice Song Cheng's small movements at all, he quickly wove seven lights, took the paper that Song Cheng handed over, pasted it with paste, and left it to dry. "I also made one for the child in Chang Xin's belly, and Gong Ping counts as one. With you, our family counts as seven people, one for each, just right." Gu Lousheng rubbed his frozen hands, stood up and shrunk. Body, while breathing, chatted with Song Cheng.

Song Cheng looked at the mist that Gu Lousheng exhaled, and then saw Gu Lousheng's mouth opening and closing to say these words. Suddenly, his mind was empty, and the meaning of family in his mind seemed to have never been so clear.Gu Lousheng yelled a few times, but Song Cheng didn't respond, and finally poked him several times with a brush before Song Cheng came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you in a daze? I'll give you the pen. Here, write your wish on the note. It will be burnt into the lamp later." Gu Lousheng stuffed both the pen and the note into Song Cheng's hand, and He stared wide-eyed, and finally Song Cheng smiled helplessly: "I can't read, so I can't write well." When Gu Lousheng heard this, he forgot about it just now, but now that Song Cheng mentioned it, he also remembered it up!

"But wouldn't it be ineffective to say the wish? If you can draw it, no matter how bad it is, you secretly tell me that I will write it, so it's still not a wish?" Gu Lousheng's proposal was given to Song Cheng It's a good way, he doesn't want to tell Gu Lousheng what he wants, and now is not the time to say it, and he will be embarrassed!

Song Cheng squatted down, lay on top of the stone, buried his head very low, and began to draw seriously, and even blocked Gu Lousheng's sight so that he could not see it.He doesn't know how to read and write his own name, but he knows that the homonym of his name is similar to Chengzi!He has seen a lot of oranges, and the paintings are quite similar, but he thought for a long time how Gu Lousheng should draw them. After thinking for a long time, he drew a small house.Song Cheng's drawing is crooked, although it is only composed of a few simple lines, the drawing is not very similar, but he thinks God will understand it, after all he has thought about it many times, if it is God, he should understand.

Gu Lousheng stretched his neck behind him, but the moonlight was no match for the candlelight, and he still couldn't see clearly what Song Cheng drew.Although he is very curious, he will not ask, wish, everyone has their own secrets, and so does he.

Song Cheng and Gu Lousheng set off the lanterns of Chang Xin, Gu Linsheng, and Gu Xin first, and called Douer and Gong Ping to come over and let them go. The two children said they wanted to put them in the river this year, so they picked up the lanterns. I bought a lantern and took it to transform it, and then released it along the river later, which can be regarded as a wish.

Gu Lousheng simply let the two children go, picked up one of the last two lamps, lit the candle in the lamp, asked Song Cheng to throw Xu Hao's wish into it and burn it, then loosened his hand and put the lantern Gently sent, with the wind, the lantern just wobbled into the air.

"You can't put up the lantern by yourself. You have to ask your family or close friends to help send it up to the sky or push it on the water, otherwise you won't get blessings." Gu Lousheng handed his lantern to Song Cheng and explained.Song Cheng helped him hold the lamp, and was also curious about what Gu Lousheng wrote, but he rolled up the note tightly and quickly threw it into the lamp and burned it, as if afraid of being known by others.The two watched their respective lanterns float farther and farther in the air until they disappeared, and they couldn't help but look forward to it in their hearts, hoping that their wishes would come true this year.
