Rebirth of the third-rate cook

After Liu Guo's processing, the four snowmen finally have noses, eyes and arms.

"It's great! It's great! It's snowing one by one..." Pudding danced around the four snowmen and hummed a song.

Liu Guo looked at Qin Yan dumbfounded, "Why do you think Pudding Club's songs are not much younger than mine? Who taught them?"

"In addition to my mother, I guess there are also aunts who lead the left and the right. In the few houses around here, there is only a child like Pudding. Every time he comes back during the holidays, he almost eats a meal from a hundred families. One family eats the other house. After a meal, I really can’t tell who taught it.”

Liu Guo looked at Pudding who had already entered the self-promotion mode, and really didn't want to hold it back. He raised his face and laughed loudly. Qin Yan folded half of his body with Liu Guo, and covered Liu Guo's hand with the cover of his clothes. Putting it in his pocket, "Look, you are not as good as pudding. He also knows that he needs to wear gloves when he comes out to play in the snow. You have been playing bare-handed for a long time, and you are almost turning into a carrot."

"It's okay, I used to play like this in the orphanage when I was young, but, at that time, Chen Lu hadn't entered the hospital yet, so I was alone every time, which was very boring."

Qin Yan didn't speak, but tightened Liu Guo's hand even more.

"Huohuo, Guozi, it's getting dark, you guys come back first and put up the window grilles, and we'll have dinner after we're done."

"Oh, here we come!"

After a busy day, he could finally lie on the bed and rest peacefully, but Liu Guo tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. When he turned over again, Qin Yan simply reached out and hugged someone.

"Get up so early in the morning and work hard, aren't you tired after a busy day?"

"Tired! But I just can't sleep..."

Qin Yan turned on the desk lamp, sat up a little, and hugged Liu Guo, "It seems that you are not tired enough, you need..." As he said that, he made a gesture to rush towards Liu Guo.

Liu Guo sat up in shock, "Don't make trouble, Auntie and Pudding are right next door."

Seeing his serious appearance, Qin Yan was really helpless, "I was just joking, why did you react so strongly..."

"Hmm... I thought you..."

"What do you think of me? Sperm on the brain?"

"Hey hey, Brother Qin..."

Liu Guo nestled back into Qin Yan's arms again, "Brother Qin, did you celebrate New Year like this every year when you were young? Since you were young, do you follow the established rules every day?"

"My father is an old-fashioned person. Starting from my grandparents, our family has followed this custom to celebrate the New Year. There is nothing wrong with what day we do. When my grandparents were alive, even the time was counted. They The old man talked about the auspicious time, I remember one time I got up late because I slept late, and I missed the time, my grandfather chased me in the yard with a broom and wanted to beat me, and in the end it was my sister who took the hit for me.”

Liu Guo thought for a while, and asked cautiously, "You, you rarely mention your sister..."

Qin Yan was silent, Liu Guo waited quietly, he didn't want to say anything, I'm sorry I shouldn't mention something, because he really wanted to ask.

Liu Guo wasn't sure if Qin Yan would say anything, and he was also prepared to ask Qin Yan if he didn't say anything this time, and asked again when he had a chance. For a while, the two embraced each other silently.

"My elder sister loves me very much. Since I was a child, I have been holding on to everything that is delicious and useful. When my father passed away, the family was very poor. In my impression, she has always been wearing old clothes that her relatives' children can't wear. Clothes, I haven’t even bought new clothes for the Chinese New Year, but she will help others pick pigweed after school, pick up scraps and sell them, secretly save money, and when the Chinese New Year comes, she will buy new clothes for me and new year’s goods for the family. ..."

Qin Yan, who was talking, was just describing a passage of the past calmly, but Liu Guo could hear the memories and affection behind this calmness.

"Later, I went to serve as a soldier. I finally didn't have to spend my family's money anymore. I was able to get some money every month. I was very happy. I thought, I could finally save money to buy things for my sister. I worked hard to read and study. Thinking about going to the military academy in the army, getting promoted to an officer, getting more money, and saving my sister’s dowry..."

"It's a pity that God's will tricks people. Everything will not go according to your plan. When my sister was found out to be sick, the doctor spread the entire operation fee and the lifetime drug expenses in front of our eyes. I realized that I The subsidy that I have always been proud of, and even the so-called more salary in the future, are so small that they can hardly be regarded as money. At that time, my sister refused to treat her. Although my mother kept wiping her tears, she did not dissuade her. Sister, because she knows that even if the family borrows all the relatives, they still can't make up the money, and the reality forces both women to succumb to their fate."

"At that time, I felt that I was very useless as the only man in the family. When I passed by the bank on my way home from the hospital, I even had a momentary thought that I didn't know the probability that I would succeed in breaking in and robbing the bank."

Liu Guo listened silently. When she heard this, she just hugged Qin Yan's arms tightly and didn't interrupt him.

"I really want to make money. I can make a lot of money in a short period of time. I even secretly asked someone how much money I can get from selling a kidney. Later, one of my comrades-in-arms found out and contacted his former comrade-in-arms. Tell me that there is such a profession as a mercenary in the world."

"I thought at the time that if I sold my life, it would be good to exchange my sister's life. What's more, I almost gambled my own life. So I agreed to become a mercenary, and with that money The three-year buyout money was given to my mother. I didn’t even dare to meet my sister, and I didn’t dare to tell them what I was doing. I kowtowed three times to my mother and told her that if I don’t come back after three years Come on, just pretend you never gave birth to my son."

Qin Yan reached out to get something, Liu Guo reacted, got out of bed, took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket and handed them to Qin Yan, Qin Yan lit one, didn't smoke, just looked at it and risked smoke trance.

"But when I came back three years later, what I saw was my sister's photo on the counter at home. My mother saw me and wanted to beat me, but she didn't let go. Instead, she hugged me and cried, saying that my sister didn't get a kidney. Yuan left with total organ failure. And that was already a year ago when I came back. I stayed at home for a month, but I didn’t know what I could do. I was my sister when I opened and closed my eyes. I didn't even take a good look at her, but I didn't expect that a farewell would be forever. In the end, I chose to go back and continue to be my mercenary, but this time, I didn't belong to any regiment. I just acted alone, and I only made myself very tired. Only then can I stop thinking about whether my self-righteous decision was right or wrong. If I didn't insist on going my own way, at least I could accompany my sister through the last days, and I wouldn't let my mother face such a desperate moment alone. "

"Until the year before last, there was a mistake in the action. When I saw the dead bodies of Pudding's parents, I suddenly thought of my mother. She no longer had a husband or a daughter. How could she bear without my son? So, I took the pudding and returned to the country. I was afraid of staying in my hometown, and it always reminded me of my sister, so I bought a store and an apartment in the city, and wanted to take my mother to live with me..."

Liu Guo basically knew what happened next, so Qin Yan didn't go into details, just squinted his eyes, took two puffs of the half-burned cigarette, and then extinguished it.

"Actually, my mother is braver than me. After staying in this place full of painful memories for so many years, she can still live with a smile and refuse to leave."

"Although the painful memories are here, for Auntie, the good memories are also here. In this world, it is impossible to avoid pain and only keep the good things. When we want good things, we must have enough courage. Come face the pain. I think, for Auntie, those good things are enough for her to face the pain of the past, and because of you and Pudding, she can live with a smile."

Qin Yan rubbed his chin on the top of Liu Guo's head, "Then, since God let me meet such beauty as you, what kind of pain will I have to face?"

"No, it should be said that it is the pain we have experienced that allowed us to meet each other."

Qin Yan smiled, "Yes..."

"Oh, it's Chinese New Year, why are you here to remember bitterness and sweetness? Auntie said that tomorrow I have to go to the grave to worship the ancestors and make a big offering. I can't get up late. Oh, it's time to sleep..." Liu Guo Shouting to turn off the desk lamp, Qin Yan stretched out his arm and turned it off.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness, Liu Guo was still lying in Qin Yan's arms, just when Qin Yan thought he was asleep, Liu Guo said softly, "Brother Qin, all the pain is to remind people to cherish it when they are happy. That's why, everything I've experienced is good, and what God gives is for a reason, from now on, I will always be here, good night, Brother Qin, I love you!"

"Good night! I love you too!"

Outside the door, Qin's mother, who was going to the toilet with Pudding, saw Qin Yan's room suddenly turned on and wanted to see what happened, but after hearing such a conversation, the expression on her face was dumbfounded. She was stunned, but her eyes were faintly red, as for what she was thinking in her heart, it was hard to see clearly.

And Qin Yan, looking in the direction of the door through the dark surroundings, he is not Liu Guo, and it is impossible for him to have no feeling for a person standing outside the door, but he feels that in this way to let Qin's mother know, maybe it is The best way to buffer conflicts.
