The Cultivation of Rebirth

According to the custom, on the morning of the first day of the new year, both adults and children have to get up early.

It was only after five o'clock when Li Rui and Gu Huaidong woke up. Although it was still dark outside, a small night light in the room faithfully emitted a warm orange light all night.

The warm light and heating are perfect against the darkness and cold outside.

Li Rui rubbed his eyes.

Gu Huaidong asked Li Rui: "Are you still sleepy? Do you want to squat for another 10 minutes?"

Li Rui shook his head.Although he felt that he had just gotten up after lying down, he was inexplicably very energetic and didn't feel tired at all.It's just that the eyes are a little soggy.

Li Rui squinted his eyes, and his eyes gradually got used to it.

Gu Huaidong opened the bedside table, took out a jar of colorful candies, and handed it to Li Rui: "Rui Rui, Happy New Year."

Li Rui sometimes has hypoglycemia when he wakes up, and candy is really a very suitable gift for him.

Li Rui unscrewed the jar, took a small candy, peeled it into his mouth, and softly said to Gu Huaidong: "Brother, happy new year to you too. But I don't have any gifts for you."

Li Rui peeled off another candy and handed it to Gu Huaidong: "Borrowing flowers to present Buddha."

When Gu Huaidong went to pick up the candy, he intentionally moved his mouth forward a bit more, and held Li Rui's fingers.

Gu Huaidong licked Li Rui's finger, then let go of his mouth, and praised meaningfully: "It's so sweet!"

Li Rui's fingers were still sticky with some saliva.

Li Rui put his hand on Gu Huaidong's pajamas and wiped it in disgust: "I haven't washed my hands yet!" I took the shower before going to bed yesterday, and I don't know how many bacteria have grown in one night.

Gu Huaidong responded silently, worried that Li Rui would become a little clean freak in the future, and they would lose a lot of fun.

Gu Huaidong asked Li Rui to wash up first, and searched the room for a while, but couldn't find what he was looking for, so he told Li Rui to get something, and ran out of the room in his pajamas.

After a while, when Li Rui finished washing and began to change clothes, Gu Huaidong came back.

Seeing that Li Rui had already put on his coat, Gu Huaidong regretted that he did not come back sooner.

Seeing Gu Huaidong's hands were empty, Li Rui asked, "Aren't you going to get something?"

Gu Huaidong took out two long red jade ropes from his pocket and waved them in front of Li Rui's eyes.

Li Rui thought of the agreement they made last night before they took a shower and went to bed.

Gu Huaidong has already gone to get the money under the pillow.

Gu Huaidong first finished wearing a piece of money, then tied the red string in a knot at a suitable length, cut off the excess, burned the end of the knot with a typewriter, then walked up to Li Rui, and wanted to give it to Li Rui. put on.

Around Li Rui's neck is still wearing one of the jade pendants they got together during their trip to Yunnan during the summer vacation when they graduated from high school.

At that time, they kept two pairs of jade pendants, Li Rui's pair was kept away, and Gu Huaidong's pair was hung around their necks.

Li Rui saw Gu Huaidong coming over with the money, and planned to take off the jade pendant himself.

Gu Huaidong told him not to move.

Li Rui obediently stopped moving immediately.

Gu Huaidong carefully took off the jade pendant around Li Rui's neck, and put the money on Li Rui.

The length of the jade rope is just parallel to the heart.

Li Rui stuffed the money into his coat and wore it next to his body.

The money is hidden in the clothes, so you can't see it at all.

Li Rui asked Gu Huaidong what to do with the jade pendant he took off.

Gu Huaidong quickly took off the jade pendant around his neck, and put it in the bedside table with Li Rui's: "I can store it in another place later."

Li Rui was stunned when he heard the words, will he put it away and not wear it in the future?He thought that after the fifteenth day, he would have to exchange for the jade pendant.

At this time, Gu Huaidong had already put on another coin according to the previous method, and then stretched his head towards Li Rui

Li Rui took the money from his hand, put aside the flash of thoughts just now, and carefully put the money on Gu Huaidong, and then urged Gu Huaidong to hurry up and wash up.

New Year's Day must wear new clothes.

The coats the two of them wore today were ironed and hung up in the closet the day before, and their underwear was also unpacked and washed a few days ago.

Gu Huaidong and Li Rui originally bought new clothes by themselves, but later Xia Jinxuan specially brought them two sets of new clothes back from G City, and the two of them unanimously decided to wear the new clothes bought by their elders first.

After Li Rui changed his clothes, Gu Huaidong came out of the bathroom in his underwear.

In fact, Gu Huaidong really wanted to come out naked to play a little hooligan, but today's day is not suitable.

Li Rui opened a corner and looked out, but the sun had not yet come out.

Looking down, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the ground outside was slightly reflecting white light.

Li Rui pulled open the curtain with all his strength.

According to the light from the room, one can see pieces of crystal clear white snowflakes slowly drifting down near the window.

"Gu Huaidong, come and see! It's snowing!" Li Rui shouted happily.

Gu Huaidong walked behind Li Rui while putting on his coat.

The snow outside is not too heavy. Gu Huaidong has seen this kind of snowfall countless times in his life, and it is not unusual for him at all.

But Li Rui's tone was too joyful, and Gu Huaidong couldn't help being infected with joy: "It's really snowing! Let's go out to play later."

Gu Huaidong looked at the ground and said to Li Rui: "It should have snowed heavily when we were sleeping, but now the snow is a little lighter. According to the weather forecast, there will be heavy snow in the next few days, and it will be spectacular at that time."

Li Rui's tone was full of excitement: "Will there be more snow? Yanshan snowflakes are as big as a mat?"

Gu Huaidong listened to Li Rui suddenly recited a line of poetry without thinking, laughed in a low voice, hugged Li Rui from behind and shook gently: "That's not so exaggerated. But when the sun rises, you may see suddenly like a night." When the spring breeze comes, thousands of pear trees bloom.”

Li Rui sighed "Wow", happily like a child.

Gu Huaidong thought about it, only to realize that Li Rui had never seen such a heavy snow in his life.

The last two times when he brought Li Rui to celebrate the New Year, it happened that there was no snow.It was raining when I came back last year.At that time, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and the atmosphere was very unpleasant.

It's still a good snow day, festive.Gu Huaidong thought.

With his chin pressed against Li Rui's hair, Gu Huaidong asked Li Rui stickily: "I'll take you to build a snowman and have a snowball fight later, okay, Rui Rui?"

Before Li Rui could answer, he heard two coughs from behind.

Both of them turned their heads to look at it.

The eldest cousin of the Gu family stood at the door, with an extremely embarrassed face, and stammered: "I... I knocked on the door just now, I really did knock on the door, but you didn't seem to hear..."

Li Rui's face was still full of excitement, his eyes were sparkling, and his cheeks were slightly flushed from excitement.

Behind Li Rui, Gu Huaidong's eyes also had turbulent emotions.

The eldest cousin met the faces and gazes of the two, and for some reason, he felt that the temperature on his face was also rising little by little.

Young birthday!Ah, no, bah bah, you can't use such foul language today.The eldest cousin's heart was overwhelmed, and even the local dialect in his father's hometown popped up.Only when the three words came out did I think of the taboo on the first day of the new year.

But what he saw just now had too much impact on him, and he couldn't immediately think of a more appropriate exclamation after tossing and turning.

God, Buddha, God, whatever, the eldest cousin thought to himself, why is he more shy and embarrassing when he breaks through others' sticky sticky than others get smashed into sticky sticky ones.

While the elder cousin's eyes were blank and his thoughts were flying, Gu Huaidong and Li Rui had separated.

Gu Huaidong straightened Li Rui's clothes, and Li Rui subconsciously helped him back.

The elder cousin who had just come back to his senses saw this scene and was already able to remain indifferent.

The world of the two of them was broken, Gu Huaidong asked his eldest cousin a little unhappy: "What are you doing here?"

The eldest cousin tried his best to put on an indifferent expression: "Cousin, have you forgotten that you haven't gone downstairs yet..."

Hearing this, Li Rui said uncomfortably: "Let's go down now."

Gu Huaidong still dislikes light bulbs: "Won't you make an internal call for this kind of thing?"

The cousin failed to switch his indifferent expression, and rolled his eyes at the unreasonable elder cousin: "My aunt asked me to come up to find you, and she told me that you have woken up in the morning!"

The eldest cousin also didn't want to see how Gu Huaidong and Li Rui... love each other?Can I use this word?

The eldest cousin added sadly and angrily: "I really knocked on the door. I knocked a lot! I heard you guys saying...ah no, I heard some movement in your room again, and the door was unlocked before I opened it. .”

And when he opened the door and went in, he just heard his cousin and sister-in-law?The two were holding each other and reciting poems sourly.

He resisted not being disturbed, and knocked lightly on the door twice.

As a result, no one of the two people in the room noticed him.

The eldest cousin stood at the door and waited and waited. Seeing that the cold image of the cousin in his memory was getting worse and worse, he finally couldn't help coughing twice to remind them.

Gu Huaidong hummed, and wanted to say something else.

Li Rui tugged at his clothes, and looked at him with a "shut up" expression on his face.

Gu Huaidong held Li Rui's hand instead: "Come on, let's go downstairs."

"Go downstairs, go downstairs." The eldest cousin agreed dryly, and gave Li Rui a look of apology and embarrassment.

Li Rui had sorted out his mood and returned him a comforting smile.

The eldest cousin, who was forgiven and forgiven, breathed a sigh of relief.

Three people went downstairs.

Downstairs is already very lively.

The phone in the living room rang from time to time, and some came to pay respects to the neighbors from the past.

Xia Jinxuan saw the three children and said to them: "Breakfast is ready, you go and see what you want to eat." Then she went to busy herself.

Mr. Gu's lineage is also considered to be prosperous, and his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are almost all together, so the breakfast on the first day of the Gu's house is very special, with both northern and southern flavors, including dumplings, longevity noodles, and rice cakes.

The dumplings are thin-skinned and full of fillings. They are round and very cute. There are several kinds of fillings.

There are poached eggs and dried seafood lying on the longevity surface, which looks particularly rich.

There are two colors of yellow and white for rice cakes, implying that gold and silver and all aspects of the host's family "get better every year"

Brown sugar water and boiled eggs in sugar water were also prepared in the kitchen.

Gu Huaidong and Li Rui picked out their favorite food, and instead of going to the restaurant, they ate at the small table in the kitchen.

Seeing this, the eldest cousin also stayed in the kitchen.

But the eldest cousin soon discovered that his choice was extremely wrong.

Gu Huaidong was eating from his own bowl, but at the same time, he wanted to pick up what was in Li Rui's bowl. It was not counted if he picked up what was in Li Rui's bowl, but he also wanted to give Li Rui what was in his own bowl. Taste and share delicious food with each other.

The eldest cousin silently glanced at the delicious breakfast on the kitchen stove without sharing with each other, and felt that he should not stay and go to the restaurant to eat.
