New Year's Eve, the whole country, everywhere in Chongqing, a good day for reunion.In Country Z, although Chinese New Year is celebrated on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year is different in different places. In some places, the "early years" are celebrated. They pay attention to the breakfast of the New Year's Eve, and breakfast is theirs. In some places, the New Year's meal is celebrated at noon, and the New Year's meal is served at lunch; in some places, the "Late Years" is celebrated, that is, the New Year's meal is served at dinner.Often different towns and towns, villages and villages live differently.In the villages around Lanjia Village, most of them spend their "twilight years", and New Year's Eve dinner is the mainstream.

In the countryside, sweeping the dust used to be a big event, implying to sweep away the bad luck and ominousness of the year, and to give a new look of prosperity and safety in the coming year.However, with the economic development of the times and the renewal of concepts, people gradually pay less attention to sweeping dust, and sweeping dust has become a sign of intention.Because the Lan family has a relatively old-fashioned Lan father, sweeping dust is quite important.

Early in the morning, the Lan family had a simple breakfast, which is the annual dust sweeping activity.Father Lan took Lan Hui and Lan You to sweep the dust of the building, and Father Lan took Lan Ya to clean up the kitchen of the old house, sweeping the cobwebs and dust in the corner of the kitchen.

There are many hands, and it is not particularly dirty. It can be done in just over an hour.It was almost ten o'clock when Father Lan finally took a shower.Father Lamb sorted the clothes that everyone had changed into buckets, and said, "I've put chicken, duck, meat, pig's feet and other things into the pot to steam, Lan You remember to add firewood to the fire, don't just know how to play. After finishing speaking, he picked up the bucket and walked to the small pond in Lanjia Village, which is specially used for washing things.

Lan You's clothes, he had already washed them after taking a shower, this is a habit he has developed over the years.His grandparents helped him wash his clothes when he was a child, and he washed his clothes when he grew up. He never let his father wash them.

Father Lan changed his clothes, pushed the motorcycle from the main room to the yard, and asked, "I'm going to the county to buy some fresh vegetables for the evening, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat prawns and roast duck, and I want duck necks from the braised meat shop." Lan Ya looked away from her phone and looked at Lan's father happily and said.

Lan Hui casually mentioned the names of a few dishes, and asked, "Does Xiaoyou have anything to say?"

"I don't pick anything. Father can buy anything." In Lan's family, apart from grandma Zu, Lan Hui is the only one who has some warmth towards Lan You, but Lan Hui is a few years older than Lan You. Both of them studied in boarding schools, and they would be taken to work by Lamb's father during the winter and summer vacations, so the two of them spent very little time together, and their relationship was neither hot nor cold, not as good as that between Lan Hui and Lan Ya.

Lan Hui didn't care much when he heard it, although sometimes he felt that his parents were unfair to Xiao You, but he never tried to change anything, he just took care of Lan You when he could.

Lan's father rode a motorcycle, made a 'chug' sound, and left the yard. Lan You didn't linger any longer, and turned to the kitchen to heat up the chicken, duck and other meat for tonight.

In the countryside, every household kills chickens and ducks, buys meat, and then steams or cooks them for [-] years. Some of them are made for New Year’s Eve dinner, and the rest are kept for the first month of the coming year.

After the family had lunch casually, Lan's father took the straw paper, Ming coins, candles, incense, and firecrackers he had just bought today, and took Lan Hui to the ancestral grave to worship the ancestors.In this area, you can only bring your grandfather to worship on the New Year's Eve, but you can't go, because your father will be the one who will establish a family in the future, and you need to recognize your ancestral grave, and your brother will be in the future. to someone else's house.

What the country pays attention to is that the sooner the New Year's Eve dinner is eaten, the better. As the old saying goes: eat early and get rich early.Therefore, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lamb's father put the right chickens, ducks and other things in a special washbasin, packed them, washed the pot and rice, and prepared to steam tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

And Lan You was washing some vegetables bought by Lan's father at the well outside and the seasoning dishes to be used later, such as green onions, peppers and ginger.

At a quarter past three, when everything was ready, Father Lamb started cooking the New Year's Eve dinner.The Lan family burns an earthen stove, and there are two stoves standing side by side, the inner one is currently steaming rice, and the outer one is used for cooking.

Around 04:30, the sound of firecrackers could be heard one after another. It was that someone else’s house had prepared a New Year’s Eve dinner and was about to eat it.Father Lan hurriedly prepared the last boiled live fish, and shouted loudly to Father Lan who was packing incense outside: "The head of the house is ready to serve."

Father Lan replied with a deep voice of 'OK', but Lan Hui and Lan Ya entered the kitchen, "Father Mu, it's ready, brother and I will help you." Lan You, who was lighting the fire under the stove, silently put the The unburned firewood was withdrawn and buried in the ashes below.Wash your hands, wipe your face, and help out.

Lan's father moved out a big firecracker about one meter in diameter, and they circled almost half of the yard before setting it off.During the Chinese New Year, everyone usually buys big and loud firecrackers, which means that the coming year will be prosperous like firecrackers.Five people stood at the entrance of the lobby, covering their ears and watching the firecrackers in the yard getting shorter and shorter.Lan You looked at the seat of her grandma beside her in the past, and she felt a little desolate in her heart. Last year, Grandma Zu was still beside her, holding her hand, but this year, Yin and Yang are separated.Sure enough, flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year.

Lan's family didn't have the habit of watching the year, and they had already had the New Year's Eve dinner. Father Lan Mu, who liked to play cards and mahjong, was called away by a phone call. Lan Hui and Lan Ya were also called out by the same village to play well.As for Lan Hui and Lan Ya, they are still very popular among their peers in the village. Lan Hui, 1.8 meters tall, is not very handsome, but he has good features, tall and straight, muscular and good figure , is a very good-looking grandfather with potential.Not to mention Lan Ya, she is bright and beautiful, with a height of 1.6 meters [-], fair skin, slender waist, long and straight legs, and her usual gentle and considerate attire, which is very popular.As long as Lan You is at most handsome, but also has a taciturn and uncommunicative personality. In addition, there is always housework to do, and there is no time to play with her peers, so Lan You has no good buddies at all. Nodding acquaintance.

Only Lan You and Father Lan were left at home. Father Lan tidied up and washed, and went into the room to watch the big show.Lan You also went upstairs, his room was on the second floor.

The weather is beautiful, the weather during the new year is very good, and the sun is always shining. Unlike last year, it rained almost every day, and the humidity was uncomfortable.Standing on the balcony on the second floor, Lan You looked at the sky full of stars, and thought of Qi Xi who was far away in the capital, what was he doing at this time, was he staying at home with his elders after the reunion dinner, or going out with his friends Partying?

Lan You touched the pinched hot phone in her pocket, hesitating whether to call Qi Xi or not.After dialing the number over and over again, Lan You still failed to press the green button. He was afraid that his sudden call would disturb Qi Xi.I turned off the phone, put it back in my pocket, and thought: "Forget it, I'll call later, it's too early."

Besides, Qi Xi from Kyoto was finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, and the servants were still clearing the table. Qi Xi accompanied his grandfather, father, mother, and the youngest brother of the Qi family to the living room, and began to watch the new year.

The Qi family can be regarded as a famous family in Kyoto and even in country Z. Counting up to three generations, the ancestor of the Qi family was the founding father of country Z and a well-known general.The descendants of the Qi family lived up to the expectations of their ancestors, they were all outstanding, and did not let the Qi family decline.The current grandfather of the Qi family is the commander-in-chief of country Z, and father Qi also holds a high position in the army and holds real power.Father Zim is a typical noble lady who has no office, but father Zim's Mu family is a political tycoon and a senior family.

The Qi family has three children, the eldest and the third are elder brothers, and the eldest is married to the son of an uncle who has a good relationship with each other. They also grew up together, and they are very affectionate after marriage.The third child is 20 years old after the Chinese New Year. He is still in college and has been spoiled by his family since he was a child.And Qi Xi, the second child of the Qi family and the only father, even when he was loved, he also shouldered the important task of supporting the family of the Qi family.

Lying on the bed, Lan You silently counted the last five seconds of the new year in her heart, took the phone with the dialed number, and only waited for the moment when zero came, before calling Qi Xi.But just as Lan You finished counting the last second and was about to press the dial button, Lan You's cell phone rang, and it was Qi Xi's call. Lan You eagerly picked up the phone: "Hello, Big Brother Qi." In the voice Full of surprises.

"Well, Xiaoyou hasn't slept yet?" Qi Xi stood on the balcony, looking at the snow-covered scenery outside.

"En." Lan You said embarrassedly, he was counting the time and wanted to call him.

"Happy New Year, baby Xiaoyou."

Lan You listened to the thick voice on the phone, calling her baby, her face burned instantly, and she stammered, "Brother Qi, yes, happy new year too,,,"

The two chatted for a while before Qi Xi said: "It's getting late, Xiaoyou should go to bed early and have a good dream."

Lan You hung up the phone with an 'en', and put the phone on the bedside table. Lan You touched her still hot face, "Baby", this is the first time Qi Xi called him that, and it was also Lan You's name in so many years. It was the first time someone called me that.The heart is shy and sweet.

Qi Xi hung up the phone and found an unread text message: Tomorrow, see you at the old place and time, you must come.The words are simple and straightforward, but there is an indescribable intimacy.

And the owner of the text message was Xu Zimo.

Qi Xi was stunned for a few seconds, then turned off the text message, threw the phone on the table, and lay on the bed rubbing his forehead.
