escape and return

"Sister, how much did you charge that woman tonight?" Yuan Song rushed over as soon as Yuan Tang came home.

"What's wrong with the most expensive one?"

"It's the end of the year, so there's no service charge?"

"Your sister and I are like that? The price must have increased." Yuan Song patted Yuan Song's thick coat with a palm, and the two siblings looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"Brother, did you hear that? That woman paid the price for her words and deeds, and we deserve it." Yuan Song stretched his neck and groaned. His brother was cooking sauced meat and sauced chicken drumsticks with his parents in the kitchen.Fangge heard it, he moved his lips, didn't speak, and concentrated on flicking the meat in his hand.

Yuan Tang put down his bag and trotted into the kitchen, the smell of sauce filled the whole room.She put her hands under Du Lijuan's arms to hug her mother, and rested her chin lightly on her mother's shoulder.

"Mom, what are you planning to cook this year?"

"This year's hard dishes, make up for the share of previous years, and keep the three of you siblings eating enough!"

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Du Lijuan stood by the bedside of the two brothers, "Get up, hurry up, I'm still busy today."

Fangge sat up and stared at Du Lijuan in bewilderment, then lowered his head to look at Yuan Song who was squeezing towards him from the cold.

"Get up." Fangge rubbed his eyes, and was about to get up, when suddenly his hands were wrapped around his waist, and a head rested on his thighs, his whole body froze in shock.

"Hurry up!" Du Lijuan had already left and walked into the kitchen. Fang Ge glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then carefully moved her butt outside, reaching into the quilt to push Yuan Song's head away, but unexpectedly, The dead child also moved with his movement, his hands were tightly wrapped around his waist, his head got in again, and suddenly bumped into something, Fang Ge didn't dare to move at all.

The person under the quilt was stunned for a moment, as if awakened suddenly, jumped up in an instant, ran into the toilet without shoes and bare feet and slammed the door, running faster than a rabbit.Fangge stiffened and lowered his head to take a peek at his little brother, he let out a long breath, he was really sleepy and dazed!

He regained his composure for a while before getting out of bed and putting on his clothes.

"You two hurry up and help me." Du Lijuan's calling came from the kitchen, and Fang Ge hurried over, temporarily suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

Yuan Song stayed in the toilet for a long time, he was really sleepy at that moment, he looked at himself in the mirror, the cold water drops still couldn't extinguish his burning cheeks, he stretched out his hand to touch his face again, Thinking of the touch on his face just now under the blanket, Yuan Song seemed to see his brother's little red face, looking at him with watery eyes, with a feeling of wanting to refuse and welcome, wanting to talk and rest, It was a picture that only appeared in his dreams.what to do?He could hardly contain himself.

"Who's in there?" Yuan Dashan's voice came from outside the door, and there was a knock on the toilet door.

Yuan Song hastily scooped up a handful of cold water and poured it on his face fiercely, before he replied vaguely: "I, Dad, wait a moment, get on the tuba."

When opening the door, Yuan Song carefully stretched out his head to glance at the floor, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw no one left.In the kitchen, Du Lijuan and Fangge were already busy, and the smell of steamed meat slowly filled the whole room.

"Hurry up, both of you, the pig's head is waiting for you to get it out." Du Lijuan stretched out her neck and howled towards the living room.

"Hey, I'll be here right away." Yuan Dashan responded repeatedly in the toilet, not even brushing his teeth and washing his face.

For some reason, Fangge suddenly looked forward to hearing Yuan Song's voice, but after waiting for a long time but no one answered, Fangge curled his lips, suppressed the little something wrong in his heart, and continued to wash the pig's large intestine in his hand.The aroma in the pot hooked the glutton in Fangge's stomach, diluting Yuan Song in his mind a little bit, and Fangge remembered his childhood.

"Mom, I miss your glutinous rice pig intestines so much."

Du Lijuan was standing beside him kneading the noodles in the basin, her hands full of flour, she bumped Fangge with her shoulder, and smiled to ask Fangge to eat more today.

"Where have you spent the past few years?" The dough was gradually forming in her hands, and Du Lijuan glanced at the young man beside her and asked softly.

"My grandpa's house, when my grandma was still alive, I spent the New Year with him, and then my grandma left, and I didn't go back for the New Year."

Du Lijuan paused for kneading the dough, and the words she said brought a little caution that she didn't realize.

"Why don't you go back? Then where are you during the Chinese New Year? Didn't your parents pick you up?"

"I--I don't want to go back, hehe, mom, it's all over." Fangge smiled like his mother and lightly bumped her with the shoulder, grinning and showing eight big white teeth. "Mom, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, come, laugh with your son~"

Du Lijuan raised her head and tried to pull the corner of her mouth at Fangge, then quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.For her son, she is still full of guilt.

"Mom, tell me what to do with the pig's head." Yuan Song had been standing at the kitchen door for a while, and he stepped into the kitchen and opened his mouth in a timely manner.

The city is no better than the countryside. A large piece like a pig's head can't be handled on a gas stove. Let alone the whole thing is marinated, even if it is chopped into small pieces, it is not so sharp with a knife.The father and son worked on the small dining table in the living room for a long time, which made the whole room slamming. Yuan Tang couldn't lie down anymore, so he just got up and went to the store to open the door early.

"Come back soon~" Before going out, Du Lijuan walked to the kitchen door and confessed to Yuan Tang.

Yuan Dashan and his son supported the pig's head and held the knife. After sharpening a kitchen knife four or five times, there were gaps on the blade, and it was finally straightened out.

"Mom, don't say anything. When the pork head meat comes out, I want to eat it first. I want the row under the teeth." Yuan Song shook his painful hand and put the basin of pork head meat on the table. Sink side.

"Look at you kid, you are here to bargain with me for the whole thing. Your brother has been working here for me early in the morning and has been standing there for a long time. Did he say anything? It's just you." Du Lijuan pointed her index finger He tapped Yuan Song's forehead, and put the plate of stuffing in his hand.Yuan Song chuckled, sneaking glances at his brother out of the corner of his eye.

"Here, I've reconciled the dough for you, take it out to the living room and make it, don't squeeze us here." After that, he stuffed the pot of dough to Yuan Song, "Make dumplings, don't make them for me. steamed stuffed bun."

Hearing the sound of Yuan Song's footsteps gradually going away, Fangge secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The kitchen is small, two people standing still can turn away, and if one more person is added, it will be a matter of turning around and bumping into each other.

He has already filled the pig's large intestine, which is full of red beans and glutinous rice, ready to be steamed.Du Lijuan took the large intestine from Fangge's hand and put it in the steamer section by section.

"Mom, I'll be the first to eat this when it's out of the pan." Fang Ge whispered in his mother's ear, for fear of being snatched away by others.

Du Lijuan put the lid on the pot and laughed, and pushed Fangge out of the kitchen to let him rest for a while.

"Hey, Gezi, put the couplets on the door." Yuan Dashan was holding the dumpling wrapper in his hand. He had found the couplets early in the morning. He pointed at Fang Ge and motioned him to take the couplets on the side of the sofa.

In this way, the whole family worked hard all morning, and when Yuan Tang came back after one o'clock at noon, they finally presented the fruits of most of the day's labor.
