During the Chinese new year, the streets are full of the smell of firecrackers. The naughty children of every family in the streets take out firecrackers from time to time, light the lead wire, and throw it away. PA!
The younger children are raised to death by the adults at home. Stay away from those monkey children, otherwise they are easy to hurt themselves.
Green bricks covered with snow, tree branches shook off the snow in clusters, adults talked freely in the house, children scattered rice bran outside the house to lure sparrows to Shau Kei, or piled round snowmen under the window, candy Yuanxiao red lanterns, sealed red Taofu and ate dumplings. These have become a Yao's memory of the first year of the Spring Festival in this strange world
I hope the years after will be as warm as today.
On the seventh day of the lunar new year, on the day of the man's day, Yao Yao made a wish with the moon to Town God's Temple. She made a wish before the God of the city.
In a flash, even Shangyuan Festival has passed.
Jin Sheng's head is covered with snow willow hairpins, and all kinds of lanterns compete with each other. Artists can win cheers wherever they go out of the railing tile shop, spit fire, swallow swords and break big stones on their chest.
The excitement of Lantern Festival is still in my ears, but I have to go to school.
"I don't want to move or go to school. I'm a waste cat." A Yao lay on the table, bleary eyed and muttering. She couldn't lift her spirits. It was midnight when she came back from the Lantern Festival. She completely forgot that she had to go to Nanxun thatched cottage to study with Ying Niang the next day. " Oh! "
It was so cold that she suddenly woke up. It turned out that it was the bird's nest that directly covered her face with a twisted handkerchief. It was cold and cool. A Yao was an inspiration, and her goose bumps were fried and bounced on the spot.
"Although I don't understand what you're talking about, the girl has made breakfast and will be angry if she doesn't eat again." The bird's nest saw her wake up, put away her handkerchief and explained.
Mianbai porridge nest several salty milk grains with rich milk fragrance. Wangyue fried fried fried fried dough sticks and fried pork floss. For fear that they didn't eat enough, he made scallion cake. The surface of the cake was fried golden and crisp, and scallion oil was salty and fragrant. The white flour inside was sweet and soft, crisp outside and soft inside. He couldn't help eating more.
After breakfast, ah Yao's spirit came back. She didn't need to be reminded by bird's nest and moon watching. She took shuxiu to Qi's house, and then went to Nanxun thatched cottage with Ying Niang.
They are arranged in the courtyard at the corner of Nanxun thatched cottage. The mountain head and the master are not far away. If they want to go to the garden outside or others want to come in, they must pass under the eyes of the master to ensure their safety to a great extent.
On the first day of practicing Chinese characters in class, Ying Niang wrote a few. Seeing the teacher holding the book to teach, she crept back to ah Yao.
It's not easy to practice calligraphy with a hanging wrist. A Yao thought that Ying Niang had just written five or six, and the speed was really envious of her. However, she still wrote her own calligraphy now. There is no saying that calligraphy practice can be achieved overnight.
Ying Niang looked at her and said, "ah Yao, let's take a break and look at the peach blossoms by Jianhu Lake. What do you think?"
"Good." A Yao rubbed her wrists. The winter scenery of Nanxun thatched cottage had a special charm. The lake and mountains converged in a pool of clear water. The lake was as smooth as a mirror. In other places, the lake was condensed with a thick layer of ice. Many people would play on the frozen lake, but the lake of Nanxun thatched cottage reflected in the clear sky.
Ying Niang took ah Yao and quietly left the room.
Out of the garden, I really saw a large mu of lake water rippling slightly and dense fog“ Is there a hot spring at the bottom of the lake? " A Yao became interested and ran to the lake to stir the water in Gujing bubo.
The lake water has a little temperature, like extremely warm water being cooled.
Ying Niang looked forward, absent-minded and perfunctory a Yao: "yes, it's said that there is an eye in the middle of the lake, and hot springs appear from time to time, so Jianhu won't freeze... Why hasn't it appeared yet?"
"Who are you waiting for?" A Yao saw that the peach blossoms were just blooming. The stacked petals were pink and tender. She folded down the twigs and teased Ying Niang.
When the girl's mind was pierced, Ying Niang became angry and stamped her feet. There was no doubt that her daughter was ashamed: "ah, I didn't wait for anyone. Don't talk nonsense!"
A Yao is interesting. Ying Niang came out to see the lake. It's clear that she had planned to block someone on the road. It's thanks to her being true at the beginning.
So she found a way to let Ying Niang "meet by chance alone", and she held the peach blossom branch and hummed a small song in the peach blossom forest not far away.
It's cold and freezing. Where can the peach trees blossom outside? That is, the peach trees along Jianhu Lake are affected by the warm lake and bloom earlier.
"Ah Yao?"
The familiar voice made ah Yao freeze in an instant and turned over incredulously.
Pei Shuo's cheeks were unnaturally red and his voice was as thin as a mosquito. He was embarrassed: "I'm back."
"Your father promised not to let you join the army at a young age. I said your father wouldn't be so cruel and send you to the barracks. Won't he come back this time?" A Yao was happy for him and asked questions like beads, so that Pei Shuo didn't know to answer that question, but seeing that she cared about him sincerely, he had an impulse to rub the villain into his arms——
He did.
"Hey, hey, men and women don't give and receive!" A Yao blew her hair again and struggled to escape from Pei Shuo's arms. At the moment when she opened the distance, the cold wind rushed into the gap between them, suddenly lost her warmth and made her scalp numb“ Whether men and women give or receive, you are 11 years old and will soon be engaged. It's impossible to even understand this truth. " After jumping away, a Yao quickly hid behind the peach tree to avoid being attacked by Pei Shuo again.
Pei Shuo said seriously, "I've made up my mind. I want you to be my daughter-in-law! It's not my aunt, it's not your concubine, but someone who marries openly and welcomes you in a sedan chair, so I'll try my best to win the family business and marry you home in the future. "
He thought for a long time. During the new year, he also saw many girls, including roses that were too delicate to withstand the wind and rain, peppers with a straightforward character to practice martial arts since childhood, and people who were gentle and dignified like aloes
To tell the truth, a Yao can't compare with them in terms of appearance, character and family background. And she also has a lot of shortcomings. From time to time, she can't put down her excessive self-esteem. Sometimes she is hypocritical, can cook and likes to eat more.
"But I just like you."
The breeze blew and left a few peach blossoms in the cold. Ah Yao whizzed and felt her face hot and her heartbeat was a little abnormal“ Do you know what love is! In a few more years, when you see all kinds of people, you won't think so. "
"Of course I know. It's the same in the play that 'both husband and wife return home, you weave cloth and I farm', I'll thrush you, you change my clothes for me, and then we'll have a child..."
"Stop talking..." ah Yao blushed, mature shrimp, smoking. Mom, she is still a child. Pei Shuo has thought of the next generation!
A Yao was so upset that he didn't notice Pei Shuo approaching her with a successful smile and holding her hand: "a Yao ~"
He is almost coquettish.
A Yao felt dizzy. She just looked at his thin watery lips. It seemed that she said a very important thing. She agreed vaguely.
"Ah Yao, will you be my daughter-in-law?"
"Well..."
