The Demon Lord lives in the modern salted fish life

It seems that since they met, they have been destroying the old and building the new, digging out old diseases.

Shen Xiaoguang saw that the things he bought in the market had already filled the trunk of the car, mainly because the fireworks occupied more than half of the volume, so when he went to the supermarket to buy things, he had to pile them up in the back row.

"Do you usually have to buy some fruit or something for Chinese New Year?" Shen Jianwei was fiddling with his mobile phone, searching for Chinese New Year strategies.

Although Mingzhu has not celebrated the New Year in a serious way these years, he is still much clearer than Shen Jianwei, who came from afar: "Buy a box of sugar oranges, and buy some other things, many fruits in winter can be put. "

After Shen Jianwei heard this, he didn't bother to continue searching for his strategy, and concentrated on looking at the scenery outside the window.

Both sides of the streets in Sichun City are filled with all kinds of decorations full of New Year flavor. In addition to the lanterns that can wrap the whole tree, there are also oversized red lanterns and red bows, and green lawns at some intersections. It is also decorated with 2022 advertising words.

The number of people in the supermarket today is not small, but it has not yet reached the most crowded time. The most crowded is actually the day of New Year’s Eve, because many people can only go home on New Year’s Eve, or they can only have a holiday on New Year’s Eve. From the 27th of the twelfth lunar month to the seventh day of the first lunar month, there are still a few. Many companies only release it for one week during the Chinese New Year. In just seven days, a part of it will be spent on the road, and there is no real time to spend time with relatives and friends. How many.

After Mingzhu parked the car, he led Shen Jianwei into the supermarket. There were too many people in the supermarket, and they might not know where to go when they turned around. Moreover, they had never been to the supermarket here, so they didn't know the layout of the supermarket. .

Shen Jianwei was also very self-conscious, and directly grabbed Ming Zhu, the kind that wouldn't let go even if he was beaten to death.

Taking the escalator down to the ground, there were not many small carts outside the supermarket, so Ming Zhu quickly grabbed a small cart.

Everyone who pushes a trolley wants to hang on the trolley and take off, but today's supermarkets can't fly, and it's not easy to turn.

"I sent a message to my little uncle just now, and my little uncle said that he knows some fruit wholesalers. We can buy some snacks instead of buying fruit in the supermarket." Ming Zhu said.

"Then let's look at the snacks first." Shen Jianwei controlled the small cart and walked towards the snack area.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone does not have to go to work, and they always have to find something to pass the time. It is said that Wu Ma has already watched several TV dramas, all of which are new and have not had time to watch them. Extremely lazy, his soul for chasing dramas is not in the plot, but in eating snacks.

Among the five people celebrating the new year this year, Shen Jianwei happened to be the youngest one. Although he was not that young compared to Ming Zhu, only one year old, it didn't stop everyone from treating him like a child.

As a favored child, of course you have to have a lot of snacks.

So after Shen Jianwei entered the snack area, he was no longer interested in the small trolley in his hand, and handed over the full power to Ming Zhu, who walked in front to choose snacks, and he didn't choose the packaging to take up space, and he didn't choose bags for potato chips of.

In addition to potato chips, Shen Jianwei also took other snacks, such as melon seeds, chicken feet, duck wings, beef jerky... Oh, and a six-pack of happy water.

Shen Jianwei quickly filled up most of the cart.

Mingzhu looked at the piece of happy water, and suddenly remembered the saying that cola kills sperm.

I was taken aback by the thought that popped into my head, but Ming Zhu still decided to drag Shen Jianwei to look at yogurt and milk. Drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good.

"Which brand of milk did Wu Ma prepare breakfast for us?" Shen Jianwei asked Ming Zhu for help, holding a bottle in his left hand and a bottle in his right.

Mama Wu would pour milk into a glass for breakfast, and would heat the milk in winter, so Shen Jianwei really didn't notice which brand of milk was in the house.

Mingzhu pointed to the shelf: "The one with the red packaging."

Shen Jianwei put the two bottles back in his hand, took two bottles of Mingzhuzhi fresh milk and put them in the trolley.

There are not only milk and yogurt in the freezer, but also cheese, cheese and so on. Shen Jianwei took some more.

In short, with Shen Jianwei's terrifying shopping ability, the trolley was empty when they came in, and it was packed when they went to the cashier to check out.

And I haven't bought any vegetables, fruits and meat.

This powerful shopping ability, even the cashier admires it.

"Hello, do you need a bag?"

"Yes, please get some more." Ming Zhu has already called up the QR code payment page.

"Okay, I'll charge you a total of 32 cents." The cashier held up the scanner and scanned the QR code.

No matter how big the shopping bag in the supermarket is, it is not that big, and four bags were stuffed to barely fill the pile of things that Shen Jianwei picked.

Shen Jianwei and Ming carried two of them one by one, and quickly carried them back to the car, making a bunch of them in the back row.

"It feels like I didn't buy much, it's quite heavy." Shen Jianwei sat in the passenger seat, very casually.

Ming Zhu: "It's true that I didn't buy many, but some of them are relatively cheap." Chunchun was talking nonsense with her eyes open.

After visiting the market and the supermarket, it was already noon before he knew it. Ming Zhu found a restaurant and took Shen Jianwei to have lunch, planning to go home after lunch.

During the Chinese New Year period, everything is crowded, the shopping mall is also full of people, and there are quite a few people who come out to eat. You have to be rich enough to take Shen Jianwei to a more expensive restaurant, otherwise you won’t even be able to eat. Can't even line up.

Asked for a private room in the restaurant, Shen Jianwei propped his chin to watch the people coming and going outside, and sighed: "Is this a society with a population of 14 billion? It's too crowded, it's really too crowded."

In ancient times, the population was not abundant, and Shen Jianwei had never seen such a battle before.

"Did you enjoy your shopping today?" Ming Zhu poured a glass of warm water and pushed it to Shen Jianwei.

Shen Jianwei held up the water glass, his eyes bent into the moon: "I'm very happy, I haven't been this happy for a long time."

Ming Zhu said: "Every year in the future, we will be so happy."

Shen Jianwei: "It will."

……

The two had lunch in the city and drove back home. Everything else was packed.

Gu Tianyi took care of the flowers and plants planted in the garden, and he looked much more energetic than when he came here yesterday. The painting of the exterior of the house painted by Lou Xuan was also hung on the living room. painted their home.

Mama Wu ordered the ingredients to be eaten these days, and nearby farmers would send them over. Authentic local pork, local chicken, and vegetables were also very fresh, picked from the field every day.

"Uncle, come and help unload the goods." Shen Jianwei carried two bags of snacks bought from the supermarket, and started calling for helpers as soon as he entered the house.

Ming Zhu followed behind with two bags, and explained: "We bought a little too much."

When Gu Tianyi heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and went outside to carry things. Seeing that there was no space in the trunk, he still wanted to ask: Are you sure this is a bit too much?

Shen Jianwei looked at Gu Tianyi's suspicious expression, and said embarrassingly, "Isn't this just to create a New Year's atmosphere?"

Gu Tianyi: "Xiao Shen is right, the Chinese New Year is for this atmosphere."

Ming Zhu: "..." Uncle, you really have no principles.

The unprincipled Uncle Gu first took in the couplets and blessings written by Shen Jianwei. This thing was just a piece of paper, so fragile that he didn't dare to put it in the car and ravage it.

Shen Jianwei brought down the colorful lanterns that he was thinking about. The small colored lanterns were packed in bags, and they were tens of meters long. The individual small lights were packed in cardboard boxes. Shen Jianwei first put them on the stone table in the yard superior.

Mingzhu carried out part of the fireworks first, the size and size were different, and they were packed in bags, which was hard to handle.

Gu Tianyi carried out the rest, and there were some miscellaneous little things, and Shen Jianwei packed them up.

"Okay, let's set it up!"

The fireworks were temporarily put into the house, and Shen Jianwei took a 30-meter-long small lantern, wrapped it around the top of the wooden door in the yard, hung it in a random place, and connected it to the electricity with a plug board.

Shen Jianwei, a single small lamp, hangs it wherever he can. He bought a lot of it and hung it everywhere. The small lamp is a battery type, so it doesn't need to be connected to the electricity. At night, it can be turned on directly by pressing the switch.

Lou Xuan sat in the middle of the yard, directing Ming Zhu and Gu Tianyi to paste the couplets: "One point to the left, one point to the left, be careful not to stick them crookedly."

Under Lou Xuan's command, the posting of the couplets went fairly smoothly. After posting the couplets, the word "Fu" was pasted. Shen Jianwei wrote a lot of "Fu" characters, and also wrote several fonts and styles, and pasted them on the two doors of the main gate Two, the rest were pasted on the windows and doors, and some were pasted on every door in the house. There were still some left, so Shen Jianwei pasted the word "Fu" on the flowers and plants growing in the yard , Who looks big and sticks to whom.

After posting, Shen Jianwei even touched it: "Share all the blessings with you."

Wu Ma cooked the rooster bought today and stewed it into a casserole, waiting to eat the rooster at night, but there is no need to keep watching the stew now, so Wu Ma went to the living room to watch TV.

Shen Jianwei put some snack baskets bought in the supermarket on the coffee table, and put a few bottles of drinks on it.

Before putting the little fox pillow back out of the car, Shen Jianwei took it directly and hugged it in his arms, watching TV dramas with Mama Wu.

Mingzhu sat next to Shen Jianwei, chatted with his friends casually, and looked at Shen Jianwei when he was not chatting.

Ming Zhu was discussing in a low voice with Lou Xuan the old friends he was going to visit during the Chinese New Year. Lou Xuan said that thanks to the care these days, he is doing well now, and he wanted them to know, so that they could rest assured.

The sky was slowly sinking, and the clouds were hiding in places where people could not see, and the night slowly climbed up with the stars.

The 28th of the twelfth lunar month is about to pass.

……

New Year's Eve is here.

This day's breakfast is chicken noodle soup. The soup is made with authentic local chicken. It is fragrant and thick. The chicken is shredded and spread on the noodles, plus coriander and green onion. Once the hot soup is poured, the fragrance can float far away .

After breakfast, we will start preparing for today's New Year's Eve dinner. The New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, and this year we will worship our ancestors, so we need to make a good meal.

But before setting up incense candles to worship ancestors, Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu went to Baiyun Temple and brought a heavy New Year gift.

According to the traditional saying, Shen Jianwei and Mingzhu's parents and relatives could not get the paper money for burning incense candles for them. All Shen Jianwei's family members were buried in mass graves with their heads in different places. As for the sacrifices burned by the living people, in the same way, Minglang and Su Lina died in the plane crash, and there is only one burial, which cannot be received.

"Be a bit superstitious, please ask Chen Guanzhu to save me." Both Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu were open-minded, not attached to the dead, and talked about it with a normal heart.

I drove from Lishuiju to Baiyun Temple, and walked up the mountain with the New Year ceremony. Before I entered the mountain gate, the Taoist priest who was sweeping the mountain gate with a broom saw them and waved his hands excitedly.

"This Taoist priest seems to know us?" Shen Jianwei wondered, they only came to Baiyun Temple once, so all the Taoist priests in this Baiyun Temple know them, right?How bad is that memory?

Ming Zhu: "We'll find out after we ask."

So the two quickened their pace and went up to connect with the priest.

"Benefactor Shen, benefactor Ming, happy new year." The Taoist priest was very polite.

Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu had question marks all over their heads, and while returning the salute, they thought, why does this priest seem to be familiar with them already?

"I didn't expect the two benefactors to go up the mountain on New Year's Eve, and I'm far away from welcoming you. I'll lead you to see the temple master."

"Then the Taoist priest will be troublesome." Shen Jianwei said.

The head of the Taoist priest didn't accept the New Year's gift, saying that they could accept it only after Chen Baiyun agreed to accept it. If they received a gift from a pilgrim on weekdays, Chen Baiyun had to nod before accepting it, and they were not allowed to accept any valuables.

Shen Jianwei sighed: "You are so honest." He had never seen such a simple and unpretentious person.

Chen Baiyun didn't need to be busy unwrapping the pilgrims today. He was leading the Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple to clean the Baiyun Temple.

"Monastery Lord, benefactor Shen and benefactor Ming are here."

Chen Baiyun turned around, and all the wrinkles on his face were laughed together.

"Why did Benefactor Shen and Benefactor Ming come to the door on New Year's Eve?" Chen Baiyun went up to greet him.

Ming Zhu handed over the New Year gift he brought: "I have some things to come to Baiyun Temple, and I also come to wish Chen Guanzhu a New Year by the way."

Chen Baiyun moved his eyes down, and scanned all the New Year gifts that Ming Zhu was carrying, they were just nuts, not valuables.

"Come as soon as you come, and bring a gift, which is too expensive." Chen Baiyun accepted the next year's gift, found a Taoist priest, and asked him to put him in the activity room of the temple. Tonight they will watch the Spring Festival Gala together in the activity room .

"Should the two of you do things first, or sit down first?" Chen Baiyun asked for their opinions.

Shen Jianwei said quietly: "Let's not mention these two, Guanzhu Chen, Ming Zhu and I went up the mountain just now, the Taoist priest who cleaned the mountain gate looked at us from a distance and waved at us. He also knew that one of us was named Shen and the other was named Ming. What is this?" Condition?"

Chen Baiyun smiled and said: "Isn't this the two who invested in the repair of Baiyun Temple? They didn't forget the well diggers when they drank water. I made a ppt of the achievements of the two, called all the people in Baiyun Temple, and told them. "

Shen Jianwei: "..."

Ming Zhu: "..."

It doesn't have to be a ppt, right?

Chen Baiyun changed the subject: "The two benefactors, why don't you tell me what you want to do when you come to Baiyun Temple today?"

They want to burn some joss sticks and paper money for their relatives.

If it weren't for Ming Zhu and his aunt still alive, the two of them would really be able to meet the fate of a pair of lone stars of the gods, and both parents died. In ancient times, this might still be labeled as unknown.

Shen Jianwei didn't say it clearly, but said that when he was ten years old, his whole family died unexpectedly, and no one survived except him, and Ming Zhu's parents were in a plane crash, and related consultations can be found on the Internet.

After Chen Boyun finished listening, he was stunned for a while, probably it was hard to imagine two glamorous people, and the most important thing they wanted was kinship.

The old people say that if a person dies unexpectedly instead of dying, he will feel resentful and stay in the world for a long time without reincarnation. Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu don't believe in ghosts and gods, but respect ghosts and gods and stay away, but psychologically they still want a comfort .

"Since the two benefactors brought paper money for joss sticks, then the poor should chant sutras for the relatives of the two benefactors."

"Thank you, Guanzhu Chen."

Nowadays, people are becoming less and less superstitious. In addition to holding funerals, few Taoist priests or monks are invited to perform ritual ceremonies. Chen Baiyun has been in Baiyun Temple these years, and what he has done is also the work of interpreting scriptures and lecturing. He hasn't touched the job for more than ten years.

However, Chen Boyun hadn't touched it for more than ten years, but he still knew all the procedures clearly, and even put on his cassock to perform a very high-standard ceremony for Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu's relatives.

Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu watched the ceremony progress bit by bit from Baiyun.

The two held hands, as if supporting each other.

It seems that since they met, they have been destroying the old and building the new, digging out old diseases.

Today is New Year's Eve, with the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu, and the spring breeze of the coming year will definitely bring them a brighter and brighter future.

When Chen Baiyun finished the ceremony, it was not too early, so he left them to have lunch together at Baiyun Temple. Baiyun Temple is a Taoist temple, so naturally there is no meat or fish to eat, they are all vegetarian dishes.

However, the cooking skills of Dao Zhang are very good, and even the dishes are quite exquisite. Maybe he specialized in cooking before going up the mountain.

After having lunch at Baiyun Temple, Shen Jianwei and Ming Zhu hurried back to Lishui Residence.

Hurrying back to Lishui Residence, the family was already setting up the table for worshiping the ancestors. Wu Ma put out every dish on a plate, arranged the bowls and chopsticks in a circle, and chopped a piece of white radish for sticking incense sticks. The paper money was taken and burned in the yard.

"It just so happens that you are back, and you haven't paid your respects yet, so come and pay your respects!" Gu Tianyi took one of them into the room, facing the table with food, bowls, chopsticks and drinks, "It doesn't matter whose ancestor it is, Let’s all bow, if there really are spirits underground, I will bless you all.”

Shen Jianwei and Mingzhu bowed obediently, and bowed three times.

Satisfied, Gu Tianyi asked them to keep an eye on the paper money in the yard. They had to dispose of it after burning, otherwise the whole yard would be dusty when the wind blew, and it would be difficult to take care of.

Gu Tianyi helped Wu Ma clean up the dining table, and the New Year's Eve dinner was about to be served one after another. Wu Ma had a busy day today and cooked a table full of dishes. The portions were not small, and the table was almost piled up It was so full that even the place to put the bowl was squeezed out.

Local chicken soup, sausages, cured trotters, fish head with chopped peppers...all are delicious dishes.

Ming Zhu went to open a bottle of the white wine brought from his home in Langyu City, and took four goblets, pouring half a glass each.

"Today is the first New Year's Eve that we get together, but it will definitely not be the last." Ming Zhu took the lead in raising his wine glass, and the wine in the glass was shaking under the light, crystal clear.

Shen Jianwei followed Ming Zhu and raised his wine glass: "Happy New Year, cheers!"

"cheers!"

The five wine glasses collided together with a crisp sound.

There was a smile on everyone's face that couldn't go away, and the smile had been imprinted on their hearts.

When the family drinks, there is no rule that all the wine in the glass must be drained. Everyone takes a sip, and then starts to pick up vegetables with chopsticks.

Mama Wu steamed the rice, but she was very prescient and didn't steam too much. For this table of dishes, two extra chopsticks for each dish would be enough to fill me up. Who cares about eating rice!

After eating this New Year's Eve dinner for a long time, from the end of the day to the night, Shen Jianwei turned on all the lights hanging, illuminating the yard brightly.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the dishes and the kitchen were cleaned up, and then all five of them went to the yard.

Shen Jianwei bought fifty boxes of fairy sticks, and he was very proud. Others ordered one by one, or one by one, but he was different, he ordered one by one.

After the fairy wand is lit, it looks like a string of stars are twinkling, and they are much brighter than the stars far away in the Milky Way. What's more, Shen Jianwei has a lot of them, directly illuminating a large area.

Shen Jianwei gave the first fairy stick to Mama Wu: "Happy New Year to the only fairy among all of us present!"

Wu Ma took the big handful of fairy sticks with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Jianwei turned around and ordered a second one, and gave the second one to Lou Xuan: "Happy New Year, little uncle!"

Lou Xuan held a handful of cheap fairy wands, and felt that he was holding the most beautiful flower in the world.

"Happy New Year."

Ming Zhu consciously gave Gu Tianyi a hand: "Uncle, Happy New Year, this is the first time for us and my father to celebrate the New Year in a serious way."

Gu Tianyi took the fairy wand and smiled: "Yeah, it's quite rare."

Shen Jianwei had already ordered the third one, and this time he divided it into half for the left hand and half for the right hand.

"Mingzhu, look at me."

Ming Zhu responded and looked at Shen Jianwei intently.

Shen Jianwei used two fairy wands to draw a semicircle from the top to the bottom, and finally put them together.

He used a fairy wand to compare Ming Zhu's heart.

"Happy New Year."

The fairy wand hadn't burned out yet, Mingzhu looked at his lover through a layer of warm yellow firelight, and his heart began to beat faster.

When the fairy stick burned to the end, Ming Zhu quickly seized the position of the fairy stick, and the fairy stick that lost its use value was taken away by Ming Zhu and thrown into the trash can.

Ming Zhu took Shen Jianwei's two hands, pulled him, and Shen Jianwei got close to Ming Zhu's arms.

Shen Jian raised his head slightly, and looked at Ming Zhu.

"The elders are watching." Shen Jianwei said.

Ming Zhu turned around silently, while Gu Tianyi, Lou Xuan, and Wu Ma turned their heads tacitly.

Ming Zhu: "..." He came back so slowly, he saw it all.

So he let Shen Jianwei go temporarily.

Shen Jianwei bought a lot of small fireworks, all kinds, in addition to fairy sticks, there are also those that can be lit for a while, and some that can fly into the sky.

The five people, regardless of gender, age or age, all started playing under Shen Jianwei's leadership, and soon the trash can was filled with the fireworks they let go.

"There are fireworks at zero o'clock, and Sichun City will put them off every year." Lou Xuan said.

From then on, the countdown starts, and goes second by second, until the pointer reaches the new year.

On the far horizon, the fireworks exploded, stretching for an unknown distance.

At this moment, Mingzhu took Shen Jianwei into his arms, clasped Shen Jianwei's chin, bent down, and gently kissed Shen Jianwei's lips.

"Wei Wei, Happy New Year."

Shen Jianwei's eyes flickered: "Happy New Year."

The author says:

I died laughing, I went home last night, the road was dark, and then I was thinking, if there is a piece of paper money on the ground, there will be a sense of atmosphere, and then I looked down, there is really a piece of yellow paper money under my feet;

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
