My 1991

Lu An said: "You have studied the oil seller's text, right? It's a principle that you can master with enough practice. This is what makes you perfect."

After the fuss of worshiping ancestors and worshiping Bodhisattva, both of them were in a good mood, and their New Year was also a happy one.

It was cold outside, and as soon as the firecrackers were finished, Lu An pulled her into the house, closed the door and pulled the latch, and started eating New Year's Eve dinner.

Lu An asked: "Would you like some soju tonight?"

Yu Guanzhi looked at the dishes on the table and said, "The food is good. Let's have a drink."

Lu An poured two glasses of wine, placed one in front of her, and asked, "Do you have any taboos about celebrating the New Year?"

Yu Guanzhi thought about it and said no, "After the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, we usually get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and chat."

Then she asked: "Do you still have taboos during the Chinese New Year?"

Lu An said: "There are many, such as the chopsticks cannot fall to the ground, the bones cannot be said to be bones, and they must be said to be fortune.

Don’t say you can’t eat, but say you’ve eaten well. You can’t pour water at the front door, you can’t sweep the floor, you can’t wash or comb your hair, and you can’t curse.”

Seeing that she listened with great interest, Lu An told her many rural customs.

After listening, Yu Guanzhi smiled warmly and said: "I can't marry in the countryside in the future, and I am not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the countryside."

Lu An waved his hand: "Actually, it's just a matter of fact. When there are children at home, it is always inevitable to drop chopsticks. We have a couple who often quarrels over who gets up to cook New Year's Eve dinner. Two lazy people always want the other party to cook and eat by themselves. It’s ready-made, and the result is often that the two of them curse and do it at the same time, and they curse until dawn.”

"Come, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner. We have more than enough every year. Let's eat some fish. The meaning of fish is extremely good." Lu An greeted.

"good."

Yu Wanzhi imitated Mao Xuewang's chopsticks frequently, eating some from each bowl and touching each bowl.

Since it was Chinese New Year's Eve, I had to rush early tomorrow morning, so I didn't drink much, so I settled for one glass of soju and then concentrated on cooking.

After the meal, Yu Guanzhi said to him: "The Chinese New Year has not been so interesting in many years. You guys are really busy here."

Lu An followed suit: "Then find a husband from Baoqing."

Later he said: "Forget it, the people here are tough and tough, I guess no one will be able to catch your eye."

Yu Guanzhi smiled, did not answer, stood up and helped clear away the dishes.

There was no TV at home, so they couldn't watch the Spring Festival Gala. The two of them could only stare at each other. Finally, Lu An opened the door and walked out: "The snow outside seems to be getting lighter. I'm going to build a snowman."

Yu Guanzhi looked out the window. The snow was indeed much lighter than two hours ago. She happily found a scarf from the suitcase and put it around her neck and said, "I'm coming with you."

Lu An handed him a vegetable shovel: "Let's divide the work. I'll roll the snowdrift and you'll shape it."

Yu Guanzhi took the vegetable shovel, and although he didn't speak, he looked at him with bright eyes.

The snow on the ground was thick, and he had a lot of strength. It was not easy to roll the snowdrift. After rolling the courtyard wall, he rolled out a head as big as a millstone.

Then he ran out of the courtyard, started rolling from the entrance of the alley, and rolled all the way to the entrance of the courtyard. There was another big round ball about fifty centimeters in diameter. It's just that this fucking ball is big enough and it takes a lot of effort. It took him a long time to get it into the yard.

By the time the two balls were overlapped, Lu An was already sweating.

Yu Guanzhi said to him: "You take a break and leave the rest to me."

Lu An asked worriedly: "Are you feeling well?"

Yu Guanzhi said: "Fortunately, my clothes are relatively warm. As long as it's not windy, I'll be fine."

Seeing that she was in high spirits, Lu An did not go to spoil the fun. He stamped his feet at the door, stamping off the snow on his body and feet, and then returned to the house.

He planned to take a bath. According to the custom of returning to the county, taking a bath means getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, which has a very good meaning.

Even those lazy people who don't get wet all year round should take a quick bath every new year, twist their hair, cut off their nails, and live a good new year.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, when he appeared in the yard again, the snowman was already in shape. His facial features were distinct, his eyes were made of charcoal, his nose was an orange, his mouth was two red ribbons, and the scarf around Yu Guanzhi's neck was missing. Yes, it’s on the snowman’s neck.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Yu Guanzhi, who was bending down to shape up, didn't look back and asked happily: "Does it look good?"

Lu An walked around the snowman and said, "It's pretty good, except for the bald head."

Yu Guanzhi's eyes moved to the top of the snowman's head, "I didn't bring a winter hat."

Lu An's eyes flashed around, he ran to the kitchen, took out the iron pot, put a cover on it, and it was done.

Yu Guanzhi glanced at him and then at the snowman. The smile on his face bloomed like a flower, layer after layer.

Then she took out her camera from the house and said to him, "Stand over and I'll take a photo with you."

"OK."

Lu Ann leaned over, followed her instructions, and took four or five pictures in a row.

"Give me the camera, and you can take a picture of the fruits of your labor." Lu An stretched out his hand.

"Um."

Yu Guanzhi is usually a very reserved person, but when faced with the snowman he made, he still had fun posing in a few not-exaggerated poses.

In Tongzi Building, behind the window glass on the second floor, Liao Shiqi looked at the two people in the yard and asked her mother next to her: "Widow Zhang, are you jealous?"

Widow Zhang patted the dead child, no matter how big or small, and turned back to the bed.

Liao Shiqi continued to watch from a high position for a while, and finally closed the curtains and said to Widow Zhang on the bed: "I will also study hard in my next life."

Widow Zhang took the knitting work and started playing with it, "If you give up, you are not good at studying, and we don't have that kind of thing in our family."

Liao Shiqi never treated her like a mother, so she just said, "That's better than crawling into someone else's bed in the middle of the night."

She has become accustomed to being criticized by her daughter these days, and Widow Zhang is now invulnerable to water, fire, and invulnerability.

Seeing that she couldn't defeat her own mother, Liao Shiqi sighed and said, "If you had succeeded that night, I wonder if you could have really changed the Liao family's inability to study."

Widow Zhang said: "Then it is not from the Liao family."

Liao Shiqi was so angry that she directly moved her father's portrait over and placed it heavily on the bed.

Widow Zhang's eyes fell on the black and white photo of the deceased. After a while, she suddenly said to her daughter: "You will finish studying in three months, and we will leave Guifei Lane by then."

Liao Shiqi asked: "Where to go?"

Widow Zhang said: "Mom has contacted your aunt. You go to Changshi to join her, and I will go back to your father's hometown."

Liao Shiqi asked: "You always wanted to be a city dweller, why did you leave?"

Widow Zhang was silent for a while, and then she replied, "I'm tired of it" after a long time.

After finishing their work, Lu An and Yu Guanzhi returned to the house. He pointed to the scarf on the snowman and asked:

"You won't take it back?"

Yu Guanzhiqing shook his head: "Building a snowman is a memory of my childhood. It took me a long time to do it once. I am very happy today. Let's leave it as a souvenir."

After she cleaned the snowflakes from her head, Lu An said, "The hot water is readily available now, why don't you take a shower too, otherwise it will get cold."

Yu Guanzhi said yes without any hesitation.

Meng Qingchi is usually very clean and loves to take baths. There is a bathtub in the shower room. You only need to put a few buckets of hot water in it and close the door. It is very warm.

Lu An handed her a new towel: "The conditions are a bit rough, so you'll have to give in."

Yu Guanzhi didn't answer, but found a bunch of towels, shower gel and other things from his suitcase, "It's already good, much better than I imagined. Thank you."

Bathing in the winter is very troublesome for women. Lu An didn't expect to be healed immediately, so he simply found the textbook and started reviewing it on the sofa.

Maybe it was because of the Chinese New Year, or maybe it was because the firecrackers outside were too noisy. It was hard to calm down at this time, and I became distracted while reading the book.

He thought about his eldest sister and third sister, Qingchi, and many other people, both in this life and in the past life. As he thought about this, he suddenly burst into tears because he thought about his children, his children and grandchildren, and the 1,000 in his bank card. Thousands.

In his previous life, he was brainwashed every day by those self-media who claimed to be experts. They always said that the future economy would be bad and that life would be difficult in the future. This caused him to save a lot of money through frugality.

But now, it's gone.

Alas, it’s so hard to think of it sincerely. I don’t know if my confidante drank the red wine in the glass and walked away after seeing her collapse, or she hugged her and cried loudly.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Lu An was still immersed in his own world, Yu Guanzhi came out of the shower room and walked over.

Seeing the tears on his face, she stayed silent for a long time, and then asked softly: "Are you homesick?"

Lu An reached out and wiped his face carelessly, squeezed a smile and said: "No, I don't know why, but I shed tears just sitting there. You said the north wind didn't blow in, so why did it get in my eyes?" Where’s the sand?”

Seeing that he was still in a poor mood, Yu Guanzhi smiled, then took out the mobile phone from the bedroom and handed it to him: "It's Chinese New Year, give me a call home."

Lu An didn't answer, "Thank you. I don't have a landline at home. To answer the call, I have to go to another house. It will be inconvenient during the Chinese New Year."

Yu Guanzhi asked: "You don't want to fight Meng Qingchi either?"

Lu An shook his head, "Then we can't even fight."

Yu Guanzhi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, looked at him with meaningful eyes, and said teasingly: "I hope Meng Qingchi can see clearly that you are not a good match soon."

Looking at each other, Lu An retorted: "Comrade Yu Guanzhi, please be a good person and don't make trouble for yourself. If you look crooked, I'll call you as soon as I say."

Yu Wanzhi glanced at him with a faint smile, and without quarreling with him, she took out a small box of tea and put it on the table and said:

"You treat me to a lively Chinese New Year, and I treat you to a nice cup of tea."

Leaning slightly forward, Lu An stared at the tea leaves for a while, but couldn't see anything. He couldn't help but ask:

"What breed is this?"

Yu Guanzhi said: "Have you heard of the Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain?"

Lu An was surprised: "Is this Dahongpao?"

"Um."

Yu Guanzhi nodded lightly, "I don't drink much. I usually only drink a little when I'm hungry."

Lu An reached out and grabbed a small handful of tea leaves, smelled it, and urged her to quickly brew two cups to try.

Yu Wanzhi nodded and made a cup of hot water for him.

It was too hot. Lu An couldn't wait to blow some air with his mouth, then took a small sip, and finally said, "Is there a strong orchid fragrance?"

Yu Guanzhi said: "Yes, the most outstanding quality of Dahongpao is its rich orchid aroma."

Dahongpao is very durable. I brewed three or four cups in a row, and the tea is still very fragrant.

There were too many houses near Guifei Lane and the population was too dense. The crackling of firecrackers was so continuous that it was difficult for the two of them to speak, and they had to be loud enough to be heard.

After chatting at the top of their lungs for a while, the two of them looked at each other and smiled silently, stopped talking at all, drank tea slowly, flipped through books for a while, and finally went to bed when the time came.

Yu Guanzhi smoothed a handful of hair around his ears with his right hand, and asked him softly: "When will you wake up tomorrow morning?"

Lu An said: "You can sleep more and get up at 6 o'clock. Eat right after you get up. It will be dawn after dinner."

Yu Guanzhi said quietly and entered the bedroom.

There are firecrackers in the early morning. Many people of the older generation believe that New Year’s Eve is the time when gods from all walks of life come down to earth to enjoy the fireworks. If anyone can grab a lucky draw on the first day of the New Year, they will have everything in the next year. .

If you don't get the lucky draw, you should open the door as early as possible to welcome the gods, and invite the gods to your home before they have enough to eat and drink. Otherwise, you will go back to heaven after eating, and you won't be able to catch anything.

After four o'clock in the morning, Lu An opened his eyes in a daze, turned sideways and looked at the window, oh, good guy, the Royal Concubine Lane was already brightly lit, and everyone was already up.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, when he walked into the kitchen, he found that Yu Guanzhi was also up. The coal stove was booming, and there was a pot of boiling water on it. She sat by the coal fire and read a book.

Hearing the commotion, Yu Guanzhi smiled and said hello: "Lu An, happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Lu An responded with a salute, and then asked: "Why did you get up?"

Yu Guanzhi explained: "It's too noisy outside and I can't sleep."

In fact, he didn't sleep well either, and was woken up countless times, but that was mostly the case, and there was nothing to talk about.

Lu An said: "After the New Year's Eve dinner, the sound of firecrackers will almost stop at dawn. Then let's catch up on some sleep together."

Yu Guanzhi glanced at him but didn't answer.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu An realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he joked:

"Don't think too much, I didn't mean it like that. I belong to Sister Qingchi in this life."

Yu Wanzhi smiled and said nothing.

The dishes were already prepared yesterday afternoon. All we need to do this morning is heat them up or stir-fry them.

Due to the need to worship ancestors and invite Bodhisattva to eat, New Year dishes cannot be reused. The dishes eaten last night cannot be served this morning because they have been eaten and are now empty.

Lu An saw that she loved Mao Xue Wang last night and asked, "Are you still taking Mao Xue Wang this morning?"

Yu Guanzhi didn't answer the question, and raised his head slightly: "How many days do you plan to stay here?"

Lu An looked up at the sky, "The snow has stopped. I guess it will take two days. It will take two days to get a car home."

After hearing this, Yu Guanzhi asked: "Is that the third day of junior high school?"

Lu An nodded: "That's about it. I still have things to do at home. If you have a car in the third grade of junior high school, you have to go."

Yu Guanzhi said: "Then I will leave in the third grade of junior high school. There are still two days left. I won't eat Maoxuewang this morning. I want to eat the twice-cooked pork you made. The twice-cooked pork made by Meng Qingchi last time was very good. I still remember the taste. .”

"Twice-cooked pork, right? Sure, it's easy." Lu An first washed his face with hot water, rinsed his mouth, and then got busy.

At this time, Yu Guanzhi completely lost his otherworldly appearance, put down the book, and helped him do something to the best of his ability.

Lu An asked: "Are you usually so diligent at home?"

Yu Guanzhi said: "Occasionally, most of the time I eat ready-made food."

Lu An looked back at her, "Then these two days are worthy of praise."

Yu Guanzhi smiled knowingly: "The main reason is that celebrating the New Year with you is quite interesting and the novelty is still there."

"Ah? Is that so? Has the novelty gone, and you have returned to your true nature as a young lady? What do you mean by not being able to stretch your limbs, not working hard, opening your mouth when food comes, but not opening your mouth when it doesn't come?"

Yu Guanzhi smiled and peeled a bowl of garlic particles for him.
