The little man on the apex

Ninety-nine Chongyang, Yan Heyi is teaching Yuanxi how to make Chongyang cakes.

Chongyang cake is mostly made of glutinous rice flour, with a thick layer of sweet bean paste sandwiched between the flour and steamed in a steamer. The small flags made are called "Hua Cake Flags".

"Cake" has the same pronunciation as "high". On the day of Chongyang, Chongyang cake is put on the forehead of the child, which means "I wish my child everything is high".

After eating the Double Ninth Cake, Yan Heyi took off the kite from the high place and took Yuanxi to fly the kite on the hillside. Tuanzi flickered behind, looking more excited than anyone else.

At home, Yan Heyi "feeds" Yuanxi in different ways, and Yuanxi feeds the dumplings in different ways. When I first picked it up, the dog's body was less than two taels of meat, but now it is getting rounder, and its four legs are bigger than others in the village. Dogs are shorter.

Anyway, it must not be inherently short.

Flying a kite on the Double Ninth Festival is also auspicious. Naturally, the higher the better, climb to a high place and fly the kite high. Tuanzi bouncing around chasing Yuanxi all over the hillside. When he tripped over a grass stalk on the ground, he rolled around on the spot, got up and continued running as if nothing had happened.

Tired of flying the kite, Yuan Xi took up the line, and sat side by side with Yan Heyi on the top of the hillside. Tuanzi also obediently leaned over and looked into the distance.

The grass on the hillside has turned yellow, but it is not as prickly as in spring, and it is soft to sit on.

Yuan Xi didn't stay quiet for a while, and began to stick to Yan Heyi's body. He had just sweated, and it smelled like steaming milk.

Early this morning, brother Sheng brought fresh milk, and Yuan Xi gulped down a big bowl.

Yan Heyi buried her face in Yuanxi's chest, and sniffed it several times as if addicted, "Drinking too much milk, the smell of milk when you sweat, like a milk doll."

I don't know where he was rubbed, Yuan Xi shook his body, hugged Yan Heyi's neck and leaned back, and the two of them lay down on the grass.

The two quarreled with each other, and somehow they kissed again. Yan Heyi put one hand into Yuan Xi's collar, so frightened that Yuan Xi quickly grabbed his wrist, "Brother, don't you want to... .here?"

Yan Heyi leaned over and bit her ear, "Are you scared?"

"Master."

"I'm kidding you, I'm not willing to show it to others, let's go home."

After saying this, Yan Heyi helped Yuan Xi up, and Yuan Xi jumped onto Yan Heyi's back. The two of them put away the kite and went home dressed in red.

Yan Heyi also felt that he and Yuanxi had been a little too sticky these past few days, but as a newlywed, forgive me, forgive me.

After the Double Ninth Festival, it was Zhou Ziyu's birthday, and several people made an appointment to spend it at Zhou Hongxi's house.

Early in the morning, Yuan Xi was looking for ribbons from boxes and cabinets. He said that Zhou Ziyu liked bright colors, so he wanted to tie ribbons of various colors on the outside of the bronze hand stove that he was going to give him.

Yan Heyi followed Yuanxi to tidy up, but couldn't hold back, she laughed silently: "Little ancestor, it's alright, do you want to wrap the whole handle stove with silk cloth?"

"My brother also said to me, didn't you also specially make a wooden box for your pen holder?"

Yuan Xi finally tossed out a strip of orange-yellow cloth, took a pair of scissors and cut it carefully, "Brother, Zi Yu doesn't like to write, why would you give me a pen holder?"

This pen stand is a birthday gift that Yan Heyi racked his brains to come up with, and he feels very satisfied, so he naturally can't tolerate others saying no, "I don't like to write, and it's not that I never write, I will always use it."

"Brother, let me see, Ziyu will definitely give this thing up. Maybe he will take it out and force the baby to use it when he has a baby."

Yan Heyi also refused to admit defeat, "Then the hand stove you gave me, isn't it also useless now?"

"Winter is coming soon, it's called being prepared!"

Yan Heyi kept her mouth stubborn, but in fact she was getting more and more uncertain in her heart. I have to say that Yuanxi's congratulatory gift seemed more reliable.

In the afternoon, the sun was still high, and several people arrived. Zhao Jing carried two baskets of ingredients in his hands, Zhou Ziyu held a pack of snacks in his arms, and Zhou Hongxi was sweeping the ground with a big bamboo broom in the courtyard.

The ingredients were handed over to the three "Masters in charge of the spoon", and the "greedy little trash" in the mouth of the three "Masters" sat side by side in the courtyard and talked.

There was Yuan Xi who was just married, and the three of them talked about his relationship with Yan Heyi in eight out of ten sentences, especially the most curious wedding night.

Zhou Ziyu and Chang Ying imprisoned Yuanxi and forced him to talk about the details of that night, such as who took off his clothes first, where he kissed, and Mr. Yan bit his ear, what private words did he say? , euphemistically called "learn some experience from the predecessors".

Yuan Xi was in a hurry when asked, he came out from under the two of them like a loach, picked up the big bamboo broom next to them to scare them, the two dodged screaming, and attracted the three "masters" wearing bibs in the kitchen Stretch your neck and look out frequently.

"The little ancestor is quite capable of making trouble."

"Every time Ziyu is with Yuanxi, he is happy from the bottom of his heart, much more lively than usual."

"It's true that Yingzi is a few years older than the two brothers, and he always takes the lead in lighting the fire."

The three "big masters" talked and talked, and started to compare which one was more troublesome. In the end, Yuanxi naturally took the leader, and Yan Heyi looked proud, with an expression of "my little ancestor is the most capable".

When Xi Bian'er was dyed red, the food was served, and it was richer than last time. Everyone toasted to wish the "little birthday star" a happy birthday. This time the wine was brought by Zhao Jing, which was sweet fruit wine.

Since Zhou Ziyu had tasted the wine a few times, he fell in love with the taste, but his capacity for alcohol was not very good, so Zhao Jing searched for various non-intoxicating wines, and made an appointment that Zhou Ziyu could drink only when Zhao Jing was present. drinking.

There was a dish of steamed sea bass on the table. The fish was sent to Zhou Hongxi by the head of the vegetable market this morning. It was very fresh. Zhou Hongxi took the opportunity to invite Yan Heyi to fish, and Chang Ying patted the back of his head vigorously.

"Sister Ying, does it hurt?" Yuan Xi pretended to rub Chang Ying's palms, "It's okay, I promise I won't run around."

Yan Heyi grabbed Yuanxi's wrist, "Brother Hongxi, next time you go fishing, please put on the yoke in the yamen, and tie the little thing by my side, so I won't run around."

"Very good, very good." Zhou Hongxi clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and then received another blow from Chang Ying.

Speaking of fishing, Zhao Jing actually had something to say. The three of them talked for a long time from the choice of bait to the method of finishing the rod. Yuan Xi, Zhou Ziyu and Chang Ying smiled at each other: Fish, steamed fish, fried fish, fish balls, fish slices, fish soup... eat it.

Yan Heyi and Zhao Jing hit it off immediately, and they asked together: "Hongxi, when will we meet for fishing?"

"It's going to be a while, there's something going on in the yamen these few days," Zhou Hongxi frowned slightly, "It is said that a group of businessmen from the Northern Kingdom have fled to our town, and they are searching for them."

"Northern businessman?" Chang Ying held the wine cup, circling the edge with his fingertips, "What does it look like? Is there any reward? If the reward is rich, I'll go to the street tomorrow to have a look."

Zhou Hongxi smiled and said: "Yes, little money fan, if you catch one, the government will reward you with 30 taels of silver."

"I'm saving money for our marriage."

"Success," Zhou Hongxi rested his chin on one hand, and thought about it seriously, "It should be a family. I can't remember the exact appearance. I only remember a handsome brother who seems to be the young master of the family. The government has a portrait, and I will take it tomorrow." Let me show you."

Zhou Ziyu poked Zhao Jing, half-jokingly said: "Then let's go and see tomorrow, 30 taels of silver, how many benches do we have to make?"

No matter what Zhou Ziyu said, Zhao Jingna readily agreed. He nodded slightly, and silently grabbed Zhou Ziyu's hand.

"Yuanxi, Mr. Yan," Zhou Ziyu turned his head sideways, "Is there any class at the private school tomorrow? Let's go together."

Yuan Xi didn't know what he was thinking, holding the wine cup in his hand, all the wine in it spilled out.

Yan Heyi hurriedly took the wine cup in his hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the wine on his chest, "Yuanxi, what's wrong?"

"Oh," Yuan Xi came back to his senses, and smiled at Yan Heyi, "Brother, it's okay."

Yan Heyi raised her hand to touch Tan Yuanxi's forehead, and seeing that she didn't have a fever, she asked again: "The private school will be closed tomorrow, brother Yu doesn't have to go to class, Ziyu asked if you want to come to town together to arrest the Northland businessman?"

Yuan Xi leaned towards Yan Heyi as if he had no strength, and buried his head in his chest, "Brother, I'm a little drunk, and I want to rest at home tomorrow."

"Does the headache hurt?" Yan Heyi changed her movements and hugged Yuanxi into her arms again, "Do you want to go to sleep for a while?"

Yuan Xi put his arms around Yan Heyi's waist, and leaned into his arms: "No need, I'll rest in my brother's arms for a while."

The people next to him looked at each other and smiled, and began to tease Yuan Xi.

Zhou Ziyu pulled Yuan Xi's hair from behind, "We're all married, don't we call you husband?"

Chang Ying couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Yuanxi has a thin skin, I'm afraid he only dares to scream at home."

Zhou Hongxi gave Chang Ying a meaningful look, "Woman, do you understand again?"

Zhao Jing put his arm around Zhou Ziyu's shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "Ziyu, when will you call me husband?"

Zhou Ziyu blushed suddenly, and pushed Zhao Jing's shoulder, "What are you talking about?"

Yan Heyi was not in the mood to chat and laugh with them, he always felt that something was wrong with Yuan Xi, lying limply in his arms, although he also smiled when talking to him, Yan Heyi still noticed the difference.

Moreover, after being drunk, Yuan Xi is also very well-behaved. He was crazy when he was drunk a few times before. Could it be that he is really uncomfortable?

Yan Heyi probed Yuan Xi's forehead again and again, Yuan Xi lay motionless in his arms, as if she had really fallen asleep.

Originally, she planned to stay at Zhou Hongxi's place tonight, but Yuan Xi wanted to go home, so Yan Heyi borrowed a lantern from Zhou Hongxi and carried Yuan Xi home.

With a lantern in his hand, Yuan Xi sat on Yan Heyi's back like a cat, walked to the camellia tree in front of his house, reached out and grabbed a bud, and picked off a bud.

"Brother," Yuan Xi stuffed the bud into Yan Heyi's hand, "it hasn't bloomed yet."

Yan Heyi carefully pinched the buds in her hand, "It's coming soon, it will bloom soon."

"It must be pretty." Yuan Xi half thought half sighed.

"You'll know when the time comes. Didn't you also see it in spring before?"

"But I want to see the winter ones."

Yan Heyi rubbed his head, coaxing a child and said: "Okay, let's watch together, every year, okay?"

Yuan Xi didn't answer, just like that, he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yuan Xi put his lips to Yan Heyi's ear, "Brother, I like you so much."

Yan Heyi hooked the corners of her mouth, "I like you too, Yuanxi, I'll boil the water, let's take a bath first, okay?"
