This is the life Gu Xiwen wanted, but unfortunately, we are nearly a thousand miles apart from each other.
But I believe that this friendship will not change.
"Would you like a hug before we say goodbye?" Gu Xiwen looked at me with a smile on his face. In a daze, I seemed to see the boy from high school again.
I was a little dazed.
Lu Xiaohong held my hand tightly and still didn't let go.
Gu Xiwen glanced at the hands that Lu Xiaohong and I were holding tightly, tilted his head and said to Lu Xiaohong with a smile: "Brother Lu, can I hug your wife."
"No!" Lu Xiaohonghao shook his head mercilessly.
"oh!"
Gu Xiwen expressed his admiration exaggeratedly: "What a stingy and domineering brother-in-law, what a sister who forgets her loyalty!"
There was a smile in his eyes.
"Brother, you must be safe and happy!" I stretched out a hand and held Gu Xiwen's hand.
"Rabbit, you must be nice! If my brother-in-law bullies you, call me and tell me, he will come over and beat him up!" Gu Xiwen tightened my hand and looked at me and said.
"I won't give you a chance to fly over!" Lu Xiaohong said.
Gu Xiwen looked at Lu Xiaohong, stretched out a hand and patted Lu Xiaohong's shoulder without saying a word.
After a moment, he let go of my hand and said, "I have to go find Xiaobei."
He turned around and went downstairs first.
We all got up and followed him downstairs.
Just as we arrived at the parking lot, Dongzi came up to me and said, "Hu Ling, you go back first, I, I will..."
I know that he wants to find Lian Ruowei.
For so many days, I have been overthinking everything I should be calm and thinking about.
"Go!" I smiled and nodded.
On the way back, I handed the box to Pluto Tu and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"
"do not know!"
Tu squeezed into the back seat next to Luo Yue, without even raising her eyelids, "Since I gave it to you, it should be yours. Keep it. Maybe one day you will recognize what it is."
."
"Is it really the Pluto button?" I asked again.
"have no idea!"
Tu didn't know anything when he asked, but it sounded perfunctory.
The Pluto button is a thing from the underworld. It is impossible for Tu not to recognize it. Yes or no, the direct answer is, I don’t know what kind of ghost it is.
"Daughter, can you give me Pluto and I can exchange it with you for other things?" Dad leaned over and asked me.
"No!" I refused directly.
"Anyway, I gave birth to you, and everything you have belongs to me!" The father was unconvinced and pouted like a child.
Coffin Xiaoen, who was sitting on her father's knees, raised her hand and pinched her father's pouty lips.
"Well--"
Dad raised his hand and gently opened Xiao En's hand: "You bastard, don't pinch grandpa's mouth, otherwise I will send you to your parents today."
Coffin Xiaoen took his hand back angrily.
Fourteen sat on Luo Yue's lap and giggled.
"Dad, do you know what this is for?" I asked my dad.
Dad was stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't know, anyway, this thing is a treasure!"
Well, it’s a treasure, and dad wants to collect it.
On New Year's Eve, our hometown, Lingshan, has the custom of taking our ancestors home to celebrate the New Year.
When I was a child, my fourth uncle and grandma would always make a fish and meat feast without onion, ginger, and garlic and place it on the large table in the main room. Then there would be a circle of chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and wine glasses filled with good wine.
After setting off a bunch of firecrackers, the wine glasses were poured three times along the table, and a bowl of rice was placed in front of each seat.
After the rice was served, he took a porcelain basin and burned paper money on the ground in front of the table. There was an incense burner in front of the porcelain basin, and incense was added to the incense burner.
Then, my fourth uncle and grandma would take me and kowtow to the table and chairs in front of the porcelain basin and incense burner.
Since I have had yin and yang eyes since I was a child, my fourth uncle and grandma never let me look up at will.
I always peeked, and I could vaguely see that there was really a circle of people sitting around the table. Sometimes someone would turn around and smile at me. The smile was kind and not scary.
Occasionally, my fourth uncle and grandma would let me watch it and ask me how many people there were.
If there is one person missing, remove a chair, a pair of bowls, chopsticks, and wine cups.
If there are too many people, the fourth uncle and grandma will sigh deeply and then add another set.
Today is also the New Year's Eve, and I also want to prepare a fish and meat feast to bring my fourth uncle, grandma, and Master back to have a party together.
And my mother, I don’t know when her soul will be reunited.
When Luo Yue returned home, she followed Tu and left. She said that it seemed that the underworld was also celebrating a festival today, and Tu pulled her to go and attend the ceremony as the future wife of Hades.
The two professional chefs Dongzi and Luo Yue were away, so I decided to do it myself and Lu Xiaohong would help me wash and cut the vegetables and chop the stuffing.
I cooked some rice and glutinous rice first, and then decided to make a basket of pearl glutinous rice balls. My fourth uncle’s grandma loves this the most.
When she was in Liuqiao Village, she would always make some during the New Year and festivals. Some people in the village were holding weddings and weddings, so she could also have a bite.
After accompanying me to live with my father in Lingshan County, my fourth uncle and grandma rarely ate pearl glutinous rice balls anymore.
When Dad and the two little guys saw it, they all ran to the kitchen to help excitedly. After a while, the kitchen floor, the countertop, the dining table, and their bodies and hair were all covered with fat white glutinous rice.
grain.
Where he was looking for help, he was clearly here to cause trouble.
I kicked them all out.
The pearl glutinous rice balls still don't come together well.
Either they are too big or too small, or they fall apart as soon as they are put on the steamer even though they are ready.
"Let me do it!"
Lu Xiaohong smiled and took the glutinous rice mixed with stuffing from my hand, and said: "Now we are husband and wife. Your fourth uncle and grandma are my fourth uncle and grandma, and your relatives are all mine."
My dear, there is no difference between what I cook with my own hands and what you cook with your own hands. You go and wash the fish for me first, then fry it in the oil pan."
This seems to be the truth, and it is really difficult for me to do this.
My fourth uncle and grandma never let me make these when I was a child. At most, I would cook a bowl of noodles by myself sometimes when she was not at home.
It's either half-cooked or cooked into a lump of dough.
In just over twenty minutes, the two steamers were evenly sized and round in shape, and the pearl glutinous rice balls were served on the steamer.
The steamer is a small bamboo steamer about the size of a rice cooker. Two baskets can probably hold two plates.
I'm really clumsy, and the dishes that follow are all made by Chef Lu Xiaohong, so I can't even be considered a master.
Finally, a fish and meat feast was finally ready. I placed them one by one on the dining table, neatly arranged three chairs, three pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and three wine glasses. The best Maotai wine was poured into the wine glasses.
Since whipping has been banned in Jiangzhou City, this step had to be omitted. I followed the example of my fourth uncle and grandma and placed a stainless steel basin and an incense burner in front of the dining table.
Burn paper money and light tribute incense.
After waiting for a long time, neither my mother, nor my master, nor even my fourth uncle and grandma came.
