Born with rich bones

Back home, two pots of New Year's oranges are placed on both sides of the door, and the only peach blossom is placed in the courtyard.Li Yan personally carried the remaining pot of lilies into the room.

That room was naturally also Luo Bai's room, they shared the same room with an ordinary bed in it.

Luo Bai sat in the living room, stringing up the red envelopes together with Luo Laibao.

Li Yan went downstairs to see this scene, puzzled.

Luo Bai: "The two pots of New Year's oranges outside should be hung with red envelopes, implying auspiciousness and peace, and attracting wealth and treasure."

Li Yan: "Is there any other meaning?"

Luo Bai: "Of course."

He pointed to the two big red lanterns placed at the foot of the table, and said, "We'll hang these two lanterns on the door later."

Li Yan helped string the red envelopes, and then went out with him, hanging these red envelopes on the Nianju.

Yellow and red, especially festive and lively.

Luo Bai took out the ladder, stepped on it with the lantern, and hung the lantern up.Standing on the ladder, he clapped his hands, lowered his head and met Li Yan who was standing next to Nian Ju and looking up at him.

After being stunned, Luo Bai smiled and said hello: "Congratulations to Li Yan for unlocking the skill of hanging red envelopes."

Li Yan: "Come down first, don't stand on it."

When Luo Bai got down to the third step of the ladder, he jumped down suddenly. He thought it was exciting and fun, but Li Yan was so scared that his heart skipped a beat at that moment.

Luo Bai turned his head and saw Li Yan standing there with a gloomy expression on his face, he couldn't help wondering: "Li Yan, why don't you speak?"

Li Yan took a deep breath, pretended nothing had happened, came to him and moved the ladder to the other side, then climbed up with the remaining lanterns.

"During the Chinese New Year, I never hung a lantern before. I will hang the remaining lantern."

Luo Bai felt distressed, and immediately agreed without thinking too deeply.

"All right, be careful. I'm holding the ladder underneath. It's very stable. Don't be afraid."

Li Yan hung up the lantern, looked down at Luo Bai's worried expression, "You didn't see any fear when you stood on it just now, why are you so nervous now?"

Luo Bai spoke quickly: "If I fall, it won't hurt much. If you fall, I will feel bad."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Luo Bai regretted it.

He has always been a bit outspoken, and he could say all kinds of obscene things to Li Yan before, it was because he was working hard for building socialism at that time, and his heart was open and aboveboard.

It's different now, he has a little thought for Li Lili, and he feels guilty whenever he speaks coquettishly.

Luo Bai patted his open mouth twice in his heart, and said to Li Yan above: "I'm joking, don't mind."

"If you fall, I will feel bad too."

The two spoke at the same time, Luo Bai was stunned, and Li Yan said with a smile: "You are my only friend."

Luo Bai: "Oh..." It's a bit regretful. "You're my best friend too."

Although not the only one, but if there is a choice, that person will definitely be Li Yan.

"Luo Bai—is the lantern ready?"

"All right!"

Luo Bai: "Come down, we should go into the house."

Li Yan got down from the ladder, while Luo Bai folded up the ladder and put it aside, and the two entered the house together.

At this time, Mother Luo and Father Luo were already preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.

Luo Jin and Luo Yin were sitting on the sofa watching TV, while Luo Laibao was playing with toys beside him.

Luo Bai pulled Li Yan to sit down, and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's almost six o'clock, and we can have New Year's Eve dinner at six o'clock. There will be fireworks and firecrackers later, and the Spring Festival Gala will be watched at eight o'clock. Tomorrow there will be Nuo opera in other places. It's very interesting. I'll take you to watch it then."

Li Yan listened quietly to Luo Bai's introduction with great interest, and also felt very interested.

Unknowingly, time passed quietly, and when it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went to the table, said auspicious words and started to pick up the bowls and chopsticks.

The Luo family are naturally warm, they treat Li Yan thoughtfully and politely, they will not entertain him with too much hospitality, nor will they make him feel embarrassed.After drinking and eating, Luo's father and Luo's mother gave a few children lucky money, and did not ignore Li Yan.

Li Yan, who got the New Year's money for the first time, was a little novel and surprised. When he took it, a warm current flowed through his heart.

The money in the red envelope is not very big, at least for Li Yan, it is very little, but it is more precious than any wealth obtained at any time.

Luo Jin and Luo Yin also prepared red envelopes for Luo Bai, Luo Laibao, and Li Yan respectively, while Luo Bai prepared red envelopes for Luo Laibao.

Luo Laibao, who is a 'real life winner', walked up to Li Yan, blinking his eyes and staring at him.

Li Yan was embarrassed for the first time, he didn't prepare any red envelopes.

At this time, Luo Baisai gave him a small red envelope: "I have prepared a few for emergency use."

Li Yan took it and gave it to Luo Laibao.

Luo Laibao took it, and muttered unhappily: "This belongs to Brother Bao, not Brother Shenxian..."

Luo Bai gave Luo Laibao a stir-fried chestnut: "That's enough, don't take this opportunity to scam you."

Luo Laibao stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran away.

Luo Bai laughed: "She can only take advantage of the New Year to openly ask for money."

He tilted his head, stared at Li Yan, and took out a red envelope: "I'm one year older than you, so I'm giving you lucky money."

Li Yan was stunned, took the red envelope from Luo Bai, and suddenly felt extremely hot in his palm, as if warmth flowed through his heart, warming his limbs and bones.

Together with the cold soul, it seems to be gradually warming up.

"Thank you."

Whisper softly, as if blown away by the wind.But it is Li Yan's most sincere thanks from the heart.

Luo Bai spread his hands: "I will give you lucky money every year from now on, who made me one year older than you."

Li Yan suddenly leaned in front of Luo Bai, who was startled and dared not move for a while.

Li Yan stared at him, lowered his eyes and kissed him lightly on the side of his face, then retreated unexpectedly: "To express my gratitude."

Such a tactile feeling that you can leave with a light touch, you may not feel it if you don't concentrate.But Luo Bai concentrated his attention at that moment, so a numbness gradually spread from his cheeks.

The tingling feeling gradually came to the heart, sweet and soft, it seemed to still taste like wine, otherwise why would there be a feeling of being drunk?

Luo Bai's unnatural avoidance made Li Yan's heart sink slowly.

Li Yan turned his eyes away, looked at the night sky outside the window, pursed his lips tightly, restraining the sudden sick thoughts.

He took the beads, fiddled with them one by one, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

Luo Bai is his only light, the warmth in his life, he can't——he can't be hurt in the slightest!

Take your time and take your time.

Can't run away...

Li Yan turned her head abruptly, meeting Luo Yin's scrutinizing eyes who suddenly appeared.The gloominess that was suppressed in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by restrained and polite gentleness, and nodded towards Luo Yin.

Luo Bai: "Second Sister?"

Luo Yin: "I'll call you to watch the firecrackers and fireworks together."

Luo Bai quickly got up and greeted Li Yan: "Let's go, let's go to the courtyard."

The two got up, passed Luo Yin, and went to the courtyard.

Luo Jin came down from upstairs, and when he passed by Luo Yin, he asked, "Luo Yin, why are you in a daze?"

Luo Yin came back to his senses: "Nothing."

When they came to the door, they happened to see Luo Laibao saying something in the courtyard, which made Luo Bai laugh so hard that he almost fell off his chair.And Li Yan happened to catch him and brought him into his arms, but Luo Bai didn't realize it, and laughed and fell into Li Yan's arms.

Luo Yin always felt that something was wrong, very weird.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with them?"

Luo Jin: "Ah? Who?"

Luo Yin: "Dabao and Li Yan."

Luo Jin: "No—oh, yes. They have a very good relationship."

Luo Yin: "Don't you think that's great?"

Luo Jin: "That's true." She pondered, and finally had some doubts: "Do you think Li Yan is our brother living abroad?"

Luo Yin: "..."

Luo Jin laughed loudly: "Just kidding, maybe the two of them knew each other in the previous life, and they will continue their relationship in this life."

Luo Yin: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes."

Luo Jin: "You need to be more romantic. Let's go, let's go play."

After speaking, Luo Yin was dragged to the middle of the courtyard to watch the fireworks.

At eight o'clock, everyone gathered around to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and later on, Zhou Yongli and others called to celebrate the New Year.

The Spring Festival Gala program at this time was particularly brilliant, and it will still be a classic in later generations, more than ten or twenty years later.

At about nine o'clock, Luo Laibao couldn't keep up the fuss, and began to doze off. He fell asleep slowly and was carried back to his room to sleep.

Luo Bai secretly laughed at her: "Let her take a nap in the afternoon, but she doesn't want it, and she will sleep by then."

Slowly at eleven o'clock, the lively atmosphere gradually cooled down, and the fireworks gradually stopped.

Father Luo and Mother Luo came to watch the year, while Luo Jin, Luo Yin, Luo Bai and Li Yan were all driven back to their rooms to sleep.

After returning to the room, Luo Bai still insisted on waiting for twelve o'clock. He turned on the light and said, "Watch the year and stay awake all year round until dawn. If you keep watch all night, you can drive away all diseases and plagues. I pray for a safe and healthy year ahead.”

Li Yan sat beside him: "It's just a superstition."

Luo Bai tilted his head and said with a smile: "If everyone can be safe and healthy for a whole year, being superstitious is not a bad thing."

Wealth can be earned by skill, and minor illnesses and pains can also be healed.But accidents and terminal illnesses, no matter how talented they are, are areas he cannot touch.

So only being safe and healthy is the most important thing, just staying up late. If this kind of heart can really reach the heavens, then it won't be missed because of sleeping.

"Your safety and health are also in my prayers."
