dance like a butterfly

It's the first time I'm in town for New Year's Eve, and it feels a little weird.

For a long time, the various customs of the Spring Festival in the countryside of Hua County have emerged from the bottom of my heart from time to time, dividing my first Spring Festival with Lao Han.

There are plenty of New Year’s goods in the supermarket. Just go to the supermarket and everything you need will be ok.Lao Han and Haohao are two shopaholics. If you need it, you don’t need to rush to buy it. As long as you think it’s good, you can throw it on the trolley. It’s so energetic that you really want to move the whole supermarket home.In fact, the family is not really short of things. I usually buy a lot of things. The refrigerator in my old Han’s house is always full.

Meimei looked at me and smiled: "Fourth Uncle, look at these two, are they the most popular people in the supermarket?"

"Super consumption can explain a few things. Maybe your dad wants to create a more appropriate atmosphere."

I said without thinking.But as soon as I finished saying this, I regretted it.

Meimei remained silent, looking at all kinds of aquatic products in the water tank next to her, but she didn't buy a single fish, not even a single shrimp, for a long time.

I don't know how Meimei's family celebrated the New Year when her mother was alive, so it's not convenient for me to ask this topic.

Lao Han turned his head many times and asked me with a smile: "Xiaohui, look, what else do you want?"

I said enough is enough.but

Han still didn't give up, and he didn't mean to stop. It seems that he will never leave China Resources Vanguard today unless he buys a cart full of things.

The tens of thousands of square meters of China Resources Vanguard was full of people before the Spring Festival.The heat from the air conditioner, the temperature of the customers, the voice of the shopping guide loudly recommending goods, the voice of the customer's inquiry, the voice of the salesperson's sharp quotation, and the communication between the customer and the customer, made the already bursting warehouse even more bloody, and it didn't take long. , I can't take it anymore.

Zhang Wenqing waited for us leisurely in the van in the parking lot, smoking a cigarette and listening to music. When he saw us coming out, he greeted me first.

"Xiaohui, do you think the country is better than the city? How can there be so many good things in the country for Chinese New Year?"

Before I could speak, he rolled up his sleeves and packed the things on the trolley into the cartons that had been prepared in the car, and said while packing, "In the past years, Lao Han didn't come to the supermarket to buy things. This year, don't you want to go to the supermarket?" Come out with you more, you need to know his good intentions."

My heart tightened, and I looked back, but fortunately Meimei hadn't followed.

I gave Zhang Wenqing a hard look.

Meimei really didn't buy anything, she just chose a plain color and a blue apron, she looked very lonely among a lot of New Year's goods.She smiled and said, "Uncle Si, this blue one is for you. I heard from my dad that you are very good at cooking, so you have to show it well then."

Lao Han was silent on the sidelines, looking at Meimei and me, and laughed silently.

Haohao filled two cardboard boxes with all kinds of snacks and drinks that he had bought. I walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you buy wine for your dad?"

Haohao smiled and said, "Wine, my dad will still be short of wine? Fourth uncle, don't worry, my dad can't finish the good wine in the house for half a year. Besides, during the Chinese New Year, who doesn't come to the house? Bring good wine for my dad? Also, my dad has ordered a New Year’s Eve dinner for us. He won’t let me tell you, he said he will give you a surprise. You will have to drink a few sips when the time comes!”

Zhang Wenqing was about to close the door of the van. Lao Han came over and nudged me lightly with his elbow and asked, "Xiaohui, think about it, what else we didn't buy, brother, run again!"

Looking at the person who has been my closest relative in front of me, watching him wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, I opened my mouth, but I didn't say anything. In the end, I can only say, enough is enough, we can all return The family has opened a New Year's goods store.

The four of us were at the front, Zhang Wenqing was at the back, and we arrived home soon.

Two days before Chinese New Year, Haohao and I live in my house, Meimei and Lao Han live in an old house in the village, as long as it’s not very important, Lao Han stays with me until late, it’s almost early morning, and then Drive back.

It took me almost a whole afternoon to sort out the things I bought from the supermarket.

After dinner, Lao Zuo suddenly called, "Xiao Hui, you are celebrating New Year in the city this year, right?"

"How do you know?" I felt a little guilty.

"I went to Hua County in the afternoon. I thought you were here, so I bought you a suit of clothes, and I also bought a suit of clothes and some New Year's goods for the uncle. The uncle said, Lao Han brought you back."

In fact, I should have thought that Lao Zuo would do this.I don't know how to reply him, I want to say, you shouldn't buy me any clothes, you should buy them for Hongxing Erke, but when the words come to my lips, I can't say anything, I can only keep silent on the phone, waiting Let him hang up the phone.

However, Lao Zuo obviously didn't intend to hang up the phone right away, maybe he was waiting for me to speak or hang up.

I weighed it up and said, "Brother, don't worry about me in the future, I can take care of myself, besides, there is Lao Han. You should think for Lao Han, what will he feel when he hears this? taste."

Lao Han wasn't here at the moment, he went out after receiving a call from Xueping, and faintly heard them talking on the phone that they wanted to discuss how to celebrate the New Year in the village for the military martyrs and the enterprises in the village area.

"Don't worry, Lao Han is not happy about visiting uncle. I still have to do it. After all, uncle is very old and his health is not very good. I think Lao Han is also happy to go to Hua County to see the elderly, but he I'm very busy and don't have time, I'll do it for you, and he won't say anything. It's my habit to buy clothes for you every year. I've already bought the clothes. Whether you want to wear them or not is another matter."

Lao Zuo spoke very slowly, as slow as a substitute teacher dragging the class, had to drag, and was enjoying the joy of sharing lessons with his students.

"I don't want clothes, and I can't." I said decisively.

"Yes, why not?" A voice suddenly came from behind.Turning my head, I was startled. It turned out that Lao Han had already returned, standing quietly behind me.

"Brother," I stood up, covering the phone involuntarily.I hope Lao Zuo hangs up the phone quickly, I don't want Lao Zuo to hear what Lao Han said at this time.There was no expression on Lao Han's face, and he said, "You ask Lao Zuo to bring the clothes over, and send them to the development zone."

I suddenly became nervous, as if Lao Zuo's phone call was made by me secretly.The Chinese New Year is coming, and I don't want everyone to get into a fight with the second sister-in-law who came to Xi'an last time because of this.

Old Han's breath was visibly thicker.

Lao Han reached out and snatched the phone from me, and said, "I'm Lao Han, Lao Zuo, bring your clothes here, and see you at the development zone stop in half an hour!"

Lao Zuo never hung up.Perhaps, he just wanted to hear a few more words from me, but unexpectedly, it was indeed Lao Han's rough words.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Han threw the phone into my arms.Hao Hao heard the movement, ran out, opened his eyes wide, and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Old Han turned his head and yelled at him, "It's nothing to do with you, go back to your room!" Hao Hao quickly retracted his head like a frightened little mouse.

Lao Han threw away the small document bag in his hand, sat down on the sofa, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and held the lighter for a long time, but didn't light it.

I am very aware of Lao Han's fiery temper. Whatever he wants to do, even ten cows will not be able to pull him back.

Leaning against the window, I watched him from a distance. "Brother, actually, he didn't do anything, it's just out of habit, he was still talking nicely about you just now."

After saying this, I almost wanted to slap my mouth.Am I begging for mercy and adding fuel to the fire?

Lao Han glared at me, lit a cigarette, let out a long mouthful, turned his face away, and stared at the words on the wall in a daze.This picture was written with a brush when I had nothing to do. I didn't even sign it. It was immature and crooked.At that time, Lao Han kept praising me for my good writing, and asked someone to frame it and hang it up. On the banner, there was only the word "quiet" written on it.

Suddenly, he stood up, opened the door and went out. I was about to follow, but he closed the door with a bang. When I got to the door, I seemed to hear the sound of him opening the door opposite.Not long after, he knocked on the door and said to me, "Let's go, see Lao Zuo!"

I stood still, and Lao Han suddenly stuffed a package over, "Here, go to Lao Zuo."

I touched it casually, and inside the soft red bag were two cardboard boxes. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Lao Han's gourd.

Seeing that I was still in a daze, Lao Han dragged me downstairs, got into the car, and arrived at the development zone in a short while.

After parking the car, Lao Han suddenly said, "Firecrackers are prohibited in the city for the past two years."

Lao Han's words without a preface made me more and more confused.

"Brother. Lao Zuo has no other intentions. Really, let's go back." I begged Lao Han.

"It's already here, what are you doing when you go back?" Lao Han patted my knee.

This kind of tenderness, in my opinion, is really a surprise.

I took advantage of the situation to put my hand on his neck, wanting to wrap his face and kiss him.

But Lao Han pushed me away and said, "Old Zuo is here."
