Grandpa is here!

This quilt is a good thing, it is exposed to the sun every year, and I am not willing to change it every year, so it is still new after decades.

Liu Xiuzhi hesitated for a while, but still carried the red quilt out of the cage, stretched out her hand to caress the hand-embroidered quilt carefully, and then carried it to Jiang Baifan's room.

……

Jiang Baifan drove the electric tricycle very fast, it was getting dark, Pei Min was afraid of the dark, so he couldn't let him stay there for a long time.

Besides, Mrs. Qi was cooking, and it was still New Year's Eve, so he had to get Pei Min to go back early, and he couldn't make the whole family wait for him.

Fortunately, the country's poverty alleviation policy is good, and the cement road has reached the door of the house, which is no longer the old road with potholes, so Jiang Baifan refueled the electric car to the bottom, and rushed all the way to Baishui Town.

On a rainy day, it got dark early, and Jiang Baifan hurried to arrive before six o'clock. He was familiar with all the buildings in Baishui Town, so he didn't stop for a moment, and rushed directly to Jiangmen Bridge where Pei Min was.

The place next to the Jiangmen Bridge is a bit bigger, so Jiang Baifan saw the person he was looking for with just one glance.

The man was sitting under the bamboo shed, quietly playing with the ceramic teacup in his hand. He was tall and slender, and he looked like a tall and straight nine-jointed bamboo just sitting there.

The pale side face was set off by the dim light, making the eyebrows and eyes more and more deep and delicate. It was so beautiful that it made people dizzy, and people couldn't bear to look away when they stood there.

Jiang Baifan's eyes lit up, he stepped on the brakes hurriedly, jumped out of the car quickly, and ran all the way up the stone bridge, beckoning to him while running: "Pei Min, here..."

Pei Min naturally heard his voice, stood up reflexively and looked towards the bridge.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month. Apart from gaining weight, Jiang Baifan seems to have grown taller.

Pei Mindun stayed where he was, sizing him up and down almost subconsciously, without blinking, looking up and down greedily over and over again.

Jiang Baifan looked at him with a bright smile on his face. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket, and the white fabric lined his cheeks were flushed, as if stained with rouge, and even his eyes were shining, like opals that have been soaked in water.

He ran quickly all the way, the broken hair in front of his forehead was wet by the drizzle, and it was scattered on his forehead in a mess, and the fine and dense drops of water fell into his eyes. After wiping it carelessly, only There is a thin blush at the end of the eye.

Pei Min was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his throat tightened, and some crazy thoughts could not help but pop up in his mind, and those thoughts couldn't be suppressed like wildfire.

Jiang Baifan had already rushed to the front, looking at Pei Min excitedly, his eyes were shining brightly, as clean as if they had been soaked in spring water.

He greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Pei Min also replied hoarsely.

Jiang Baifan took his suitcase with one hand, grabbed his wrist with the other, turned around and walked back: "Go, go to my house! We have to go back for the New Year's Eve dinner."

As he spoke, he found Pei Min standing still, his eyes as dark as the night, looking down at him.

Jiang Baifan let go of the suitcase, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, wondering, "Why are you in a daze?"

"Ah?" Pei Min recovered, "No, let's go."

Jiang Baifan glared at him, and said inexplicably, "You just scared me."

Pei Min bent down, took the suitcase in his hand, and said slowly, "What's wrong?"

"The look in your eyes just now is so scary!" Jiang Baifan scratched his head, wrinkled his nose and whispered: "It seems like you want to eat people."

"I..." Pei Min was taken aback, a trace of panic flashed in his pupils, and he subconsciously grasped the handle of the suitcase with his fingers.

Jiang Baifan tilted his head and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Pei Min breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, I'm hungry."

"Then let's go! Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law must still be waiting for us to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

"it is good."

Pei Min followed Jiang Baifan back home, introduced himself briefly, and before he took his luggage upstairs, Seventh Brother and Seventh Wife enthusiastically dragged them to the table for dinner.

The whole family gathered around the table and began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. The firecrackers and fireworks started to explode outside, but the atmosphere in the room was inexplicably warm.

There are no closets, only a stove.

No foie gras and sea cucumbers, just simple farmhouse flavors.

There is no splendid European-style living room with golden walls, only a somewhat old second-floor flat.

Compared with Pei Min's home, everything is really not on the same level, but it is inexplicably heart-warming.

It was raining heavily outside and the wind was howling, but there were two heavens inside and outside the house.

The whole family sits around the table, grilling charcoal fire, eating authentic farm food, isolating the cold and bleak outside, and drinking a sip of warm brown sugar wine, it only feels warm all over.

It's a very ordinary thing, but a very happy thing.

Pei Min ate the bacon that Jiang Baifan had just picked up, glanced at him quietly from the side, and curled the corners of his lips inexplicably.

There is one more happiest thing in life, and that is being able to spend the New Year with the one you like...

After dinner, Seventh Sister-in-Law was clearing the table, Jiang Min was rushing to wash the dishes, and Seventh Brother was smoking a pipe and watching the New Year's Eve party.

Jiang Baifan wanted to sweep the floor, but was stopped by his sister-in-law: "I'll come later, youngest, take your classmate upstairs and put down the luggage first."

"Okay." Jiang Baifan took Pei Min upstairs, pointed to a room on the left, and said, "Seventh brother's house is a little small, with only one guest room, but this room is occupied by Jiang Min, so... "

"how?"

Jiang Baifan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "So you can only live with me, do you have any objection?"

"I..." Pei Min was naturally willing in his heart, but he was also afraid that he would not be able to control himself, and if he did something, he would...

Seeing Pei Min hesitate, Jiang Baifan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I sleep very honestly, and I won't squeeze you."

Pei Min: "..."

You are honest, I know, I am afraid that I will be dishonest.

This lonely and widowed man, and the two of them sleep on the same bed, he is really afraid that if he is not careful, the devil in his heart will come out.

Jiang Baifan didn't know what he was thinking, he just said: "And my bed is very big, I won't kick you at all, if you don't believe me, I will show you."

Jiang Baifan took Pei Min to the room on the right.

Pei Min took a deep breath and followed him in.

The room is a bit big, but the decoration is a bit old, and there are posters of some old stars on the wall, but everything is clean and tidy.

"Hey! Let's sleep here tonight, you see my bed is enough...fuck..." Jiang Baifan looked at the blinding quilt cover and suddenly got stuck.

"Red enough." Pei Min took the second half of his sentence and smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Baifan choked, what is Seventh Sister-in-law doing?Where did this red quilt come from?There is actually a dragon and a phoenix on it?I'm afraid this is not a quilt cover for a girl who got married?

He was stuck for a long time, looked at Pei Min's half-smile expression, and thought about it: "It's Chinese New Year, so we need to use festive colors."

Pei Min was stunned and said, "Do you celebrate New Year like this every year?"

"Of course!" Jiang Baifan straightened his waist and said, "The red color on our side is to get rid of bad luck, just like red envelopes and firecrackers."

"Oh." Pei Min nodded, putting away those weird thoughts.

Jiang Baifan changed the topic and said: "Put your things away, my closet is very big, half of it is empty for you."

"Okay." Pei Min opened the suitcase.

Jiang Baifan saw at a glance the thing that took up the most space in the suitcase, which was a glass jar full of paper cranes.

Jiang Baifan smiled and said: "Do you like these paper cranes so much? Do you still have to take them with you when you travel?"

Pei Min smiled and said nothing.

What he liked was never the thousand paper cranes, but the person who folded the thousand paper cranes.

But when can this sentence be said without being rejected?

Pei Min didn't know, he didn't dare to bet.

After hanging up the clothes, Jiang Baifan said: "Do you want to take a bath first?"

"want."

"Go, the bathroom is over there, your handkerchief and shower gel, I have them all ready, on the counter."

"Ah."

As soon as Pei Min entered the bathroom, Jiang Baifan hurried downstairs.

"Sister-in-law Qi, don't you have any extra quilts at home?"

"No more." Liu Xiuzhi answered cleanly and neatly.

Jiang Baifan: "..."

Seeing that he was silent, Liu Xiuzhi took the time to look at him while busy, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? There are still a few old sets in the cabinet, or..."

"No need." Jiang Baifan shook his head, he had already made excuses just now, but now he changed it back, but it was a bit self-deprecating.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and went upstairs again.

After Pei Min took a shower, Jiang Baifan went into the bathroom again.

The rain outside the window began to fall harder and harder, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the glass, making ping-pong-pong noises.

Jiang Baifan, who had just put on his clothes and left the bathroom, only saw the light bulb flash twice in the next second, and then it was completely dark.

Brother Seven complained from downstairs, "I said that the main gate is old, but they just don't listen. You can't watch this year's Spring Festival Gala again."

Seventh Sister-in-Law's comforting voice was heard again, "It will be the same when watching the replay tomorrow."

Only Jiang Baifan's room was terribly quiet, and Pei Min's trembling voice gradually came.

Jiang Baifan quickly grabbed Pei Min's hand, pulled him to sit by the bed, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll light the lamp right away, it's not an earthquake, it's just that the main switch at the entrance of the village has tripped."

The main electric switch at the head of the village is old, and when it rains heavily, it will trip and cut off the power, and the switch must be manually turned up.

But it was raining heavily, and no one wanted to go out. After the rain was over, the gates were pulled down. People should play cards and play cards, and they should be lively. After the time passed, this matter was forgotten.

Year after year, every year is like this.

Jiang Baifan was used to it, so he quickly took out four red candles from the drawer, and quickly took out the lighter.

After a while, Brother Seven's voice came from downstairs, "Are there any candles upstairs, youngest? If not, come down and get some."

"There are more." Jiang Baifan replied, while quickly lighting candles.

For the Chinese New Year, the elderly believe in those things, so they bought red candles in advance.

The room was relit by candlelight, which was not as bright as a light bulb, but it always gave people a romantic and warm feeling.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Pei Min grabbed his hand and shook his head slowly.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Master, are you still playing games tonight?" Jiang Min asked.

"Hit." Jiang Baifan opened the door and said, "I'll call Jiang Chenyu later, the three of us come together."

After thinking about it, he turned his head and said, "Pei Min, can you play games?"

"Which one?"

"Hundred Ghosts Illustrated Book."

Pei Min thought for a while, then shook his head: "Yes, but not very powerful."

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Jiang Baifan said with a smile: "There is no need to pay the apprenticeship fee, I am a teacher and a teacher."

"it is good."

Over there, Jiang Min stared at the phone and walked into the room. He glanced at the red candles and the red quilt in the room from the corner of his eye. He was suddenly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Why do I feel weird?"

"What's weird, don't say anything, just log in quickly."

"Okay." Jiang Min took off his shoes and was about to go to bed.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Baifan stopped: "Have you washed your feet yet?"

"No." Jiang Min stared at the phone without looking up.

"Haven't washed it? You sat on the sofa without washing it. You are not allowed to sit on it. The quilt cover was just changed today."

Jiang Baifan and Pei Min sat under the quilt, glared at him, and then turned sideways to teach Pei Min some basic martial arts.

Pei Min listened quietly, but his mind was already wandering. He only felt that the skin against Jiang Baifan was burning hot, as if he was about to burn him.

Even his face was hot, but none of the two people present noticed his abnormality.

I just thought that the pink smudged on both sides of his cheeks was set off by the bright red quilt.

Soon the door rang again.

Jiang Min went to open the door, but before anyone came in, he heard Jiang Chenyu complaining.

"I'm here, I'm here, haven't you started to form a group yet? Wait for me, the weather is so bad today, it's raining so much that my hair is all wet..."

He wiped the drops of water from his hair, raised his head before finishing his sentence, but stared at the scene inside the room in a daze.

"Damn it! What did I miss? Why did you put wedding candles here in the blink of an eye!"
