Violent dogs, please pay attention

My brother is going to meet his girlfriend!

On New Year's Eve the next day, Chi Chao woke up with half of his swollen face on his face, and everyone in the room was already busy.

Qi Qing was in the kitchen chopping dumpling fillings, a pot of pork and celery, and a pot of pork and leeks.

Lu Chen was also wearing an apron and laying hands beside him, washing the onions and picking vegetables, the mother and daughter chatting quietly.

On the balcony of the living room, three generations of grandparents are frying egg dumplings around a small charcoal stove.

The charcoal was burning without an open flame, and a spoon the size of a fist was placed on it.

Poke a piece of fat meat with the tip of the chopsticks and rub it in the spoon, then pour a circle of egg liquid along the edge, wrap the meat filling, fold the egg skin over and press it tightly, and an egg dumpling is done like this.

"Is it fragrant?" Lu Ge sat on a small horse and looked up at Chi Chao who was standing behind him.

Chi Chao nodded: "Xiang."

He remembered that his grandma made egg dumplings when he was a child, but it had been a long time ago, if he hadn't seen Chi Chao now, he wouldn't have remembered it.

"Don't wear it outside." Grandma still held the chopsticks in her hand, raised her head towards the pool and said, "Go home and have some breakfast, and then go with your brother to post the couplets."

Lu Ge got up at the command, pressed Chi Chao on the back of his neck and pushed him back into the house.

"Does your tooth still hurt?"

Chi Chao shook his head.

Lu Ge walked up to him and stood still: "Open your mouth and show me."

The wound is recovering very well, and it is estimated that it will be better after the next year.

In order to take care of Chi Chao, Qi Qing made a light breakfast.

White rice porridge was served with a thinly sliced ​​pickle. Chi Chao drank half of the bowl with difficulty with half of his teeth.

The couplet was selected by Lu Chen and written by Lu Xiangming. Chi Chao held the horizontally written "Jia He Wan Shi Xing" in his hand, and stuck his arm to the top of the door panel.

As soon as Lu Ge screwed on the glue stick, he subconsciously compared his height with Chi Chao.

Adolescent children changed their appearance every day as if they had been given hormones. Lu Ge was 1.8 meters tall anyway, and now standing with Chi Chao still felt a little oppressive.

"Have you grown taller?"

Chi Chao looked at Lu Ge: "You just asked a few days ago."

"Yes," Lu Ge pressed the couplet with his hands, "Have you grown it these few days?"

Chi Chao glanced at the top of Lu Ge's head: "I don't know."

Lu Ge opened the door: "Come here, let me measure it for you."

There is a tape measure at home, and the brothers get together to measure their height.

"It's 1.7 meters eight?" Qi Qing asked in surprise, "I really didn't realize it when I walked with Xiao Ge every day."

Lu Ge measured himself, and it was still the same size.

"It's really not long." He sighed and shook his head depressedly.

At the age of 17, Chi Chao will soon reach 1.8 meters, and it is estimated that he will catch up with him in a few years. By then, the elder brother will be a head shorter than the younger brother, and he will lose all his majesty.

"Why are both elder brother and younger brother so tall?" Lu Chen looked at his short legs with a sad face, "Why am I only 1.6 meters?"

"How do you compare with boys?" Qi Qing said, "Besides, you are only so old, 1.6 meters is not short."

"My brother is not as short as I am in high school! Did you and Dad pick me up?"

So the family had a heated discussion around the "genetic problem" and "where to pick up Lu Chen". Chi Chao sat on the sofa peeling edamame, listening to the noise of the whole family.

He is not a person who likes to be lively, and he doesn't have much personal contact in school.

But right now, he is very happy to be in this family, whether it is Qi Qing's reprimand or Lu Chen's complaints, he finds it pleasant to hear.

"What's silly?" Lu Ge threw him a sugar orange, "Eat some oranges and supplement vitamin C."

Chi Chao took out a piece of paper and wiped his fingers, then peeled the orange, broke it in half and handed it back to Lu Ge.

"Eat it yourself." Lu Ge said with a smile.

Only then did Chi Chao bite the orange petal into his mouth.

Tangerine is really sweet.

On New Year's Eve, lunch is not the highlight, but dinner is.

It gets dark early in winter, and the kitchen is still busy with the New Year's Eve dinner, so Lu Chen dragged her two older brothers down to set off fireworks.

Yuzhou has banned smoking for several years, but now it has been relaxed a little bit, and some fireworks are allowed to be set off in designated places in the community.

In the past, Lu Ge took Lu Chen and the two of them out to play, but now there is Chi Chao, and it is more lively.

"Aren't you playing?" Lu Ge lit a firework stick for Chi Chao.

Chi Chao didn't really want to play, but he gave it all, so he raised his hand to take it: "Let's play for my sister."

Lu Ge smiled: "I don't lack your share."

As he spoke, he took out another one from the plastic bag at his feet, lit it and drew a circle in the air.

Chi Chao followed his example and made a detour.

The silvery star point jumps in the air, extending into a bright arc of light in the night sky with the movement of the arm.

Chi Chao raised the pyrotechnic stick a little higher, and the shaking warm light cast on Lu Ge's side face.

Lu Ge was looking down at the burning one in his hand, his slender eyelashes were drooping slightly, and Chi Chao's familiar gentleness was in his brows and eyes.

In the square as large as several basketball courts, the crackling sound of fireworks and the laughter of children made it a headache.

Chi Chao and Lu Ge sat on the bench, as if covered with an invisible glass cover, so quiet that they were almost cut off from the outside world.

"Brother," Chi Chao said softly, "Happy New Year."

The firework stick in his hand was extinguished at this moment, and Chi Chao's eyes dropped along with his arms.

He rubbed the little wire stick with his fingers and watched it spin around rapidly.

"Like a little adult," Lu Ge handed Chi Chao the one that was still burning in his hand, "You should be happier."

Like Lu Chen who was playing crazy in the square, he should look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid.

Chi Chao took Lu Ge's firework, but it went out as soon as he got it.

"I want to order another one." Chi Chao bent down and took out a new one.

"Okay!" Lu Ge helped him light it, and then rubbed his head, "You can light a hundred."

This was Chi Chao's first year at Lu Ge's house, and it was also his best year.

When I got home, the New Year’s Eve dinner was ready, and the Spring Festival Gala sketches played on the TV, until the clock struck midnight, and the originally quiet night sky outside the window suddenly bloomed gorgeously.

Lu Chen excitedly rushed to the balcony to watch the fireworks, while Chi Chao leaned beside Lu Ge, watching a row of people singing Unforgettable Tonight on TV.

I received three red envelopes, grandma's, uncle's and aunt's, and Lu Ge's.

Each of the two children in the family has a share, and Chi Chao is a little at a loss with the money.

"Sleep under the pillow to ward off evil spirits." Lu Ge scratched Chi Chao's swollen face with his fingers, "Like a little bun."

Chi Chao closed his eyes and didn't open them until Lu Ge took his hand away.

"Sleepy?" Lu Ge asked.

Chi Chao shook his head, he just missed his grandma a little bit.

"Go to bed when you're sleepy," Lu Ge pushed his head, "Don't stay here."

Chi tilted his head towards the head, then tilted it back, and finally leaned directly on Lu Ge's shoulder: "It's right here."

He wants to be in one of these thousands of lights.

Even if it's just this one time.

-

The next day, Lu Ge and his family were ready to go out to celebrate the New Year.

Chi Chao didn't follow and stayed at home alone.

Lu Ge always felt that this was not very good, but he led Chi Chao's relatives to ask questions, and the answers might even make Chi Chao upset.

In short, he was in a dilemma, and Lu Ge was uncomfortable no matter what.

So he pushed the card game after dinner, anxious to go home.

Relatives who didn't know why teased him that he was afraid he was going to meet his girlfriend, and Lu Chen almost spit out a mouthful of orange juice immediately.

She couldn't help laughing, and quickly took out her mobile phone to send a message to Chi Chao.

Yaya No. [-]: My brother is going to see his girlfriend!

It was exactly seven o'clock in the evening, and Chi Chao, who was reciting vocabulary words, saw the message and his hand paused.

Subconsciously, he wanted to ask where Lu Ge got his girlfriend, why did he go to see his girlfriend?

But the words are all typed into the input box, and they are all deleted one by one.

When the elders get together during the Chinese New Year, maybe they will introduce each other to each other, and Lu Ge will really see each other... It is not impossible.

But not so fast, right?There is still a process for a blind date, how come he directly becomes a girlfriend?

Chi Chao couldn't recite the words anymore, and was depressed for more than an hour holding a mobile phone.

After eight o'clock in the evening, when Lu Ge returned home, Chi Chao floated to the living room, staring quietly at the other party without speaking.

"Are you dumb?" Lu Ge raised his hand and threw a box of things to Chi Chao.

Chi Chao hurriedly took it, it was still warm in his hand.

"what is this?"

"Rice cake."

Lu Ge went to the bathroom to wash his hands without looking back, Chi Chao walked to the dining table and opened the lunch box, and saw two rows of beautiful rectangular pastries neatly arranged inside.

"I asked for two of one flavor, but I ended up with eight flavors." Lu Ge sighed, "I bought a bit too much."

Chi Chaozheng was about to pinch one, but halfway through, he remembered that he hadn't washed his hands, so he turned and went back to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Lu Ge just came out of it, and when he passed by him, he took his arm: "Why are you going?"

"Wash your hands." Chi Chao said.

"Why are you like me?" Lu Ge smiled, "I'm a bit of a clean freak, washing my hands all day, you don't have to be like me."

"It's okay," Chi Chao said, "I want to wash."

Lu Ge didn't know how true or false this sentence was, but it made him feel a little twisted when he heard it.

The most important thing about living under the fence is not to be annoying, he can feel that Chi Chao is always careful.

In this situation, Lu Ge has nothing to do. Even if Chi Chao is clearly told not to do this, the other party will be cautious in another way.

This is like a defense mechanism that has been trained in the environment and hidden in the bones, and it is always on to prevent annoying people.

There is no other way to get rid of this mentality, but to pass the time a little bit.

But Chi Chao couldn't stay at his house for long... At most, he would only be in high school, and he would leave after finishing his studies.

At that time, he may have to change to a strange place again, and continue to repeat this kind of caution.

Lu Ge walked to the table, picked up a piece of rice cake filled with red beans and took a bite.

The rice noodles were soft and glutinous, and the honey beans were moderately sweet. He swallowed them without chewing a few times.

When Chi Chao came out after washing his hands, Lu Ge let him eat the red bean first.

This rice cake business is very hot, and there was a long line in line, successfully attracting Lu Ge's attention.

Chi Chao had just had his teeth pulled, and there was very little to eat. This kind of rice cake didn't need to be chewed too much, so it was easier to eat.

So he made a U-turn and stopped the car, queued for almost half an hour, and got a ticket on the car when he came back.

I just wanted to buy something for Chi Chao to eat.

After all, being alone at home on New Year's Day makes me feel sad no matter what.

"Is it delicious?" Lu Ge asked.

Chi Chao chewed the rice cake, looked at Lu Ge and nodded.

"What did you have for lunch?"

"dumpling."

"And at night?"

"Celery Dumplings."

Lu Ge finished the rest of the rice cakes, took out a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and said, "Go out to eat with me tomorrow."

Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year eat dumplings at home, and my heart aches for him.

After Chi Chao finished eating a piece of rice cake, he took out another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus from the small box.

He took a bite, and said casually as if eating: "Don't you need to meet your girlfriend?"

Lu Ge was stunned: "What girlfriend?"

Chi Chao fixed his eyes on Lu Ge's face, and then moved away calmly: "It's nothing."

The author says:

Lu Chen, infinitely close to the truth but always only a little bit short.

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