Tolerate

On New Year's Eve, "New Year's dishes" are made, and a pot full of sauerkraut, pork, and dried cabbage is stewed until there is some leftover at the first month of the first month, which is called "surplus every year".

On the third day of junior high school, the weather was very cold, and snowflakes floated in the sky early in the morning.Aunt Chi led Lu Qingming to get up early to hold firewood, and Lu Wensong poked his head out of the house, "Mom, get more firewood."

Aunt Chi asked strangely, "Why burn so much?"

It was so cold that the pillar was unwilling to get up, and howled at the top of his voice.Lu Wensong slapped his son's butt, and Zhu Zi immediately shut up.

Lu Wensong came out and copied his hands and said, "Just now my uncle called, saying that Xiaoyun and Xiaoqiu are coming."

Aunt Chi showed joy, "Xiaoqiu is back too?"

Lu Wensong nodded, "Come over to pay New Year's greetings in a while."

Lu Guodong came out of the house in a cotton-padded jacket, snorted and said, "Come as soon as you come, as long as there are hot spots to pick up the New Year's dishes."

Aunt Chi glared at the old man, she didn't even bother to argue with him for this foolish old man.She turned her head and said to Lu Wensong, "Songzi, go out and buy some drinks and fruits." Then she put on a headscarf and carried firewood.

Lu Qingming followed behind her buttocks, took a few steps to keep up and asked, "Who...who is coming?"

Aunt Chi replied casually, "Do you still remember your aunt?" Turning around and seeing Lu Qingming's dazed look, she sighed again.

What does this child remember.

The sun was three poles high, and the little black dog jumped out of the kennel, barking.

Lu Qingming heard the sound of a car door opening and closing outside.By the time she realized it, grandparents, father, stepmother, and even Zhu Zi had already greeted her.

Many people were laughing and talking, and Lu Qingming sensitively captured the clearest voice.She dropped the broom in her hand and ran out in a hurry.

Her face hit the heavy cotton curtain, a little hurt, and then fell into a soft embrace.

Without looking up, she knew who it was.Lu Qingming buried his head in her arms, took a deep breath, and felt a strange soreness in his chest again.

"Xiaolu?" Chi Muyun looked down at the girl in his arms.I haven't seen him for half a year, but the child has grown a lot, Chi Muyun stretched out his hand to compare, and it reached her chin.

Lu Qingming looked up at her.

Chi Muyun became thinner, still so fair and clean, wearing a white down jacket with soft down on the neck, brushing Lu Qingming's forehead.

"Come into the room, don't stand there, it's so cold." Gui Qin said with a smile on her face, she seemed to be talking to Chi Muyun, but she glanced back.

"Let's go." Chi Muyun took Lu Qingming's hand.Only then did Lu Qingming realize that there was a young woman behind her little aunt.

The woman was wearing a red down jacket with big eyes, and smiled at her, "I'm your eldest aunt."

Lu Qingming shrank his neck and hugged Chi Muyun's arm.When entering the room, Guiqin grabbed Lu Qingming and shouted in a low voice, "Stay honestly in the outer room!"

Chi Muyun didn't notice that Lu Qingming was left in the outhouse. "This is cousin Wensong." After entering the room, Chi Muyun pointed to Lu Wensong and his wife and introduced to the woman, "This is sister-in-law. The two cousins, Wen Yu and Wen Liu, are at her husband's house and haven't come back."

Chi Muqiu nodded and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law."

"Hey, hey, good..."

Guiqin and her mother-in-law went to the outhouse to make tea, Guiqin whispered, "Mom, I think Xiaoqiu really looks like my uncle."

Aunt Chi took a look at her, "Of course she looks like her own. When your uncle saw her, he knew that this must be his daughter. It's been so many years, alas, it was only a little big when I lost it, and I hugged her just as soon as I was able to leave." Passed her once..."

Guiqin was too lazy to listen to her mother-in-law's nagging, so she picked up the tea tray and went to the back room.

Lu Guodong and his son exchanged greetings with Chi Muqiu. Chi Muyun felt bored listening to it, but when he saw his cousin came in, he asked, "Where's Qingming?"

Guiqin put down the tea tray, and pointed her mouth toward the outer room, "What else can she do, let's play."

Holding the candy that Chi Muqiu gave him in Zhuzi's hand, he yelled strangely, "Idiot peeped! She wants to steal my candy!" Chi Muqiu stopped talking and turned to look at Zhuzi.

Lu Wensong reached out and grabbed Zhuzi by the collar, "What are you talking about!"

Chi Muyun frowned, and walked out.There were indeed a pair of eyes flashing past outside the curtain just now.

"Xiaolu?" Chi Muyun walked over quickly, "Stop."

The thin figure by the door stopped.The child's hair has grown to the neck, although it is still a mess, but it looks like a girl better than short hair.

Chi Muyun touched her hair from behind her, "Why don't you braid it?"

Lu Qingming shrank his neck.Chi Muyun sighed, took off the hair tie from his own hair, wrapped it around his wrist, and gently brushed Lu Qingming's messy hair, "Tie it up for you, okay?"

Lu Qingming nodded.

The child is visibly cleaner than before.The hair looks like it has just been washed, dry and crisp.Hair is still so thick, a little frizzy.There is no need for a comb with such short hair, so Chi Muyun combed it with five fingers to help her straighten it out.

Lu Qingming's scalp was numb, and her soft fingers scratched back and forth on her scalp, a little itchy.

"Okay." Chi Muyun helped her make a small knot in the back of her head.It looks more spiritual this way.Chi Muyun fumbled in his pocket, bent down and blinked at her, "reach out."

Lu Qingming looked at her without blinking, and obediently stretched out his hand.

"Dangdang." Chi Muyun made a sound effect himself, holding a few big white rabbits in Lu Qingming's palm, "Eat."

Lu Qingming glanced behind her, then withdrew his hand abruptly.The candy was clutched in the palm of his hand without falling to the ground.

Gui Qin glared at Lu Qingming, Lu Qingming turned around and ran out the door, Chi Muyun couldn't even scream.

Guiqin and Chi Muyun apologized with a smile, "Don't talk to her, the more this child talks to her, the more she will push her nose."

Chi Muyun smiled, "I don't think so. Qingming is quite sensible."

"Xiaoyun," Guiqin leaned over and said, "Sister-in-law never asks for help easily. But you are different, you are not an outsider, right? You have studied a lot, and you know many people in the capital. Let's see if you can find someone for your sister-in-law. A job? It’s okay to be tired. Zhuzi should have gone to kindergarten a long time ago. You see, we have nothing here, and the kindergarten has to go all the way to the town. I thought, if it’s easy to work in the capital , I will take the pillars to study... What do you think?"

There was a flattering smile on Guiqin's face, which made Chi Muyun feel a little unbearable.

When it comes to children, parents are humble.

However, Chi Muyun didn't forget the important point, "Sister-in-law, you want to take the pillar with you, what should you do in Qingming?"

Guiqin's eyebrows trembled, "There's her grandma. Besides, next year, I won't go to school during the Qingming Festival, and I will work at home."

"What?" Chi Muyun was startled, and frowned slightly, "She's only in the third grade."

Guiqin curled her lips, "I quit the second grade. You know what kind of mind you have. She is useless to go to school. I also do it for her own good. Why don't you practice housework and find a good husband's family earlier..."

"Sister-in-law." Chi Muyun frowned, interrupting Guiqin's chatter, "Now I'm just an intern, and I haven't officially worked yet. This is not a trivial matter, I have to discuss it with my parents."

"Hey, hey, okay! Go back and ask your dad." Gui Qin smiled and agreed repeatedly.

During lunch, Chi Muyun was obviously not in high spirits.Lu Qingming was lighting a fire in the outhouse, and Xiaozhuzi was arguing loudly at the dining table, asking for this and that, spouting rice for a while, and standing up again to pick up vegetables for a while, making people lose their appetite.

Chi Muyun drank his drink calmly, but Chi Muqiu was very powerful, and calmly ate vegetables.

"How about it?"

Chi Muqiu said goodbye to the Lu family and got into the car, Chi Muyun asked after starting the car.

"How about what?" Chi Muqiu's cute smile just now disappeared, he leaned casually on the seat, took out a piece of gum and chewed it.

"This kid is the ugliest I've ever seen," Chi Muqiu gritted his teeth, "I can't wait to beat him up."
