Monthly rent of 1,500

When Shu's father was in the army, he once went on a mission to help the local government carry out the Yuhu dredging project, and met Shu's mother at the labor site.

At that time, there were mainly two tasks, shoveling mud into the washbasin and transporting the pots containing the mud. The first job was easier and the masses did it.

"I was in charge of shoveling mud, and several soldiers would put their pots in front of me and move them away after I filled them up. Among them was Shu Jin's father." Shu's mother recalled with a smile, "He is different from others. , others would take advantage of me to shovel mud and say a few words to me, what is my name, which unit I am in, only he didn't even look at me, and only said to me for the first time, 'refill point'."

The second time he simply grabbed her shovel and shoveled the mud by himself, and the pot of mud was piled up as high as a hill. Later, as soon as he arrived, she automatically handed him the shovel and said her name and unit.

"He later admitted that he fell in love with it at that time." Shu's mother laughed, "It can be regarded as love at first sight!"

Later, she learned to speak Mandarin for love, and became the first biology teacher in the school to teach in Mandarin.

Ran Chen was fascinated to hear it, every love story has its moving parts.

"Go back and show me the old photos!" He was really curious about Papa Shu's youth.

Shu Jin heard this story many times, but smiled at Ran Chen who was listening carefully.I like his serious look, smiling look, and emotional look. Speaking of it, there seems to be nothing I don't like.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, he finally realized it.

After having lunch at the restaurant by the lake, we blew the wind again and turned back.According to the rules, [-] to [-] wash the dirty, and do a big cleaning when you go back.

In the afternoon, Shu Jin contributed Ran Chen, a small housework expert, and my mother and Xingyu really felt much more relaxed.Xingyu sighed: What is lazy people have lazy happiness!

On the dinner table, there was bacon sent by Ran Chen. Mother Shu fried it with chili and garlic leaves, which made it more fragrant.The two female comrades cooperated tacitly and praised Ran Chen's ability.

Dad Shu still didn't respond, but he didn't stop eating the bacon. Instead, he ate half a bowl of rice before leaving.This dish is prepared entirely according to the flavor of his hometown, and this move by Shu's mother got her son's thumbs up.

Under the powerful offensive of this joint operation, Shu Qin thought, how much power can Dad have to fight back?

After dinner, Shu's father spread pen, ink and red paper on the dining table, looking at his two sons.

Shu Qin immediately pushed Shu Jin to the front: "You foreign doctor, help Dad write Spring Festival couplets."

Shu Jin pulled him back: "You are from the Chinese department, give it to me."

Shu's mother and Xingyu were having fun while cutting the window grilles. Both of them were good at writing with pens, and they would be blinded when they picked up a brush. See, Dad still wrote with his wrist hanging.

Ran Chen walked over and said, "Uncle, let me help you!"

Xingyu let out a surprised "Huh", and seeing Shu Jin squinting and smiling, and seeing Ran Chen's skillful gesture of holding a pen and raising a pen, Shu Qin said softly, "It's quite a flattering job!"

Shu Jin gave an "ok" triumphantly.

This move really pleased the dragon, and in one night, the old and the young co-wrote a lot, such as "Smooth sailing, good year, all the best backgammon", "As the sky increases, people increase their lifespan, and the world is full of happiness".The two brothers only need to beat their hands, wash their pens and inks, and post each copy by the door after writing.

Ran Chen's handwriting finally made Shu's father look him in the eye, and even rewarded him with "Not bad".

"Dad, why don't you and Xiaochen write a copy together," Shu Qin decided to help his younger brother add fire, "combine the four characters or use each font to write a character."

The final product of this suggestion is two blessing stickers. In the middle is the big "Fu" character written by Shu's father in a smooth strokes. On the four corners, Ran Chen neatly wrote "Congratulations on the new year" and "Everything is going well" in Song style. Jade cut the surroundings into hollow lace.

The blessing stickers of the cooperation of the three families were pasted on the gate on one left and one on the right.

At night, four men played cards around the stove, while women and children watched the game.Although it was a four-person game, Shu's father insisted not to fight against each other, but to find friends.

He plays cards neatly, with a domineering style, but he always loses, and he doesn't play tricks when he loses. He does five standard push-ups every time he loses a level.

Two hours later, the old man did dozens of push-ups, and they only did three times, but each of them needed to do ninety for these three times.

Since it was a one-on-three match, every time he won, the old man would go up three levels in a row.Once they beat them all up, and they were promoted to nine levels. Seeing three big men lying on the ground doing push-ups, Xingyu took the children to teach counting: "Well, oh, when..." The old man and the old lady all said: Couldn't be happier.

Ran Chen did it most easily, followed by Shu Qin. While doing it, he laughed at Shu Jin: "Your weight of thirty catties is all on your stomach? It's so close to the ground."

Is this really my brother?

It was after two o'clock in the night that the game was over.The old man said energetically, "You can't do it!" Ran Chen found that his fear of him disappeared unconsciously.

On New Year's Eve, Shu's mother and Xingyu were busy in the kitchen all day, making egg dumplings, eight-treasure rice, frying various dumplings, and preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The two brothers of the Shu family went to buy a carload of New Year's flowers. With flowers, the family's New Year's flavor will be more complete.

Pippi, who was under the care of his grandfather, put on the little clothes Shu Jin had bought for him, a cap with melon skin, and a royal-blue cotton-padded gown with gold trim. There was a big word "福" on his chest, like a little lucky baby. Dudu crawling around the room, standing up with the sofa from time to time, the fat little buttocks twisted to the tune of "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

Ran Chen turned into a hardworking bee again, taking care of the children, beating eggs, and kneading dough, shuttling between pots, pans, and floors.He really likes the strong atmosphere of home, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year!

Shu Jin's eyes fell on him from time to time, pampering him tightly.During lunch, Shu Jin hugged him and kissed him hard while going to the kitchen to prepare the meal, and bit his Adam's apple and said, "I've been seduced by you all morning."

Ran Chen pushed him anxiously: "Wait until night!"

"We have to keep vigil at night," Shu Jin said bitterly, "It looks like we'll have to wait until next year to have an affair."

People who are bullied to death have a sweet heart.

At 06:30, eight dishes and one soup were served. Among them, stewed chicken and steamed fish with red pepper were the big dishes jointly created by the two brothers, and they were placed in the middle.The family of seven was reunited, and Dad Shu raised his glass and said, "I wish our family all the best in the New Year!" Everyone drank up the wine in their glasses.

Every mouthful of rice is delicious, every dish is delicious, and every drop of wine is intoxicating. Ran Chen only feels that his whole body is warm. He didn't dare to look at Shu Jin for a few days, but now he forgot to avoid suspicion. up.

He toasted to everyone, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop him.

At eight o'clock, when the Spring Festival Gala started, everyone was nibbling melon seeds and drinking tea and commenting on their heads and feet. Ran Chen was already blushing leaning on Shu Jin and passed out, with a smile on his face.Xingyu went to get a small blanket to cover him.

Dad said: "This kid is good at everything, but he has a little bit of alcohol."

Mom said: "If you are so honest, you have to protect Jinjin."

Shu Qin said: "He protects it like an old hen protecting its eggs."

Xingyu said: "If I want to have such a younger brother, I will protect him as much as possible."

Shu Jin just laughed, and sure enough, he moved Ran Chen's head to his lap like a hen guarding its chicks, and also propped up the other leg to make him lie more comfortably.

These years, this should be the happiest year Ran Chen has lived. If he doesn't protect him, who will he protect?

Mom peeled a piece of chocolate for Dad, and Dad said "too full" and ate it in one bite.Xingyu hugged the child and leaned on Shu Qin, Shu Qin peeled an orange and stuffed it for her, then picked a small piece of flesh and put it in his son's mouth, the little guy asked for more.

This is their home and everyone must protect it.

After nine o'clock, Ran Chen was woken up by a burst of laughter, and the family made the Spring Festival Gala sketch amused.

Just as he was confused about where he was, a familiar hand touched his face, and Shu Jin's voice sounded above his head: "Are you awake? If you want to call for New Year greetings, call early."

Ran Chen woke up and realized that he had been lying on Shu Jin's lap. He quickly lifted the blanket and sat up. Shu Jin let out a "hiss", blood flowed suddenly, and his leg was numb and painful.

Ran Chen wanted to stretch out his hands to rub him, but was embarrassed again, so Shu Jin simply stood up and stretched his legs.

"Xiaochen, put on your coat, don't catch a cold." Mother Shu called him.While answering, he drank the glass of water Shu Jin handed over, then put on his coat and went to make a phone call.

He first sent a New Year greeting message to the head teacher. Some time ago, he got in touch with the teacher, expressed his thoughts, and thanked the teacher for his concern. The teacher just told him not to forget to study.Then he started dialing his aunt.

Last time he said harsh words to his aunt, he also regretted it a little. Later, he sent her a text message about the Chinese New Year in other places, and she only replied to know.

On the phone, it sounded deserted over there, and his aunt's voice was also deserted, saying "thank you" was silent.

He said, "Auntie, take care of yourself." After hanging up the phone, he was really glad that Shu Jin brought him home.

After a while, Shu Qin's family got up and prepared to go to the mother-in-law's side. Shu Qin took out the red envelopes and handed them to Shu's father and mother, and handed another one to Ran Chen, saying, "Xiao Chen, a greeting gift."

Ran Chen felt that it was too thick, and wanted to push it back, but Shu Jin said, "Next, you can't push this."

Shu Jin also stuffed two big red envelopes for his parents and nephew.Father Shu stood up and went into the room. After a while, he brought out two red envelopes, one for his grandson and one for Ran Chen. The red envelopes seemed to be thicker than Shu Qin's, so he accepted them reverently.

Mother Shu took out a cloth bag, which contained six neatly folded red cloth belts, one for each of them, and said to Ran Chen, "Tie it around your waist to ward off evil spirits."

Shu Jin and Ran Chen sent Shu Qin's family out, the car drove away, and they also went out to have a look.The music of the Spring Festival Gala and the laughter of every household are everywhere, and the cool night wind blows on the face, and I don't feel cold.

The author has something to say: Looking back, the first three chapters were indeed poorly written, with too much pure narrative.to change.Within this month, the whole article should be finished.I didn't write so much about the Chinese New Year, but as I wrote it, I couldn't bear to let this year pass so quickly.
