The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Fu Xiao, who was frying meatballs in the Mu family's kitchen, sighed.

Shen Xingzhou, who was burning the fire next to him, smiled, "What's wrong? You can't sigh during the New Year."

"I want to eat the fried dough twist my aunt made..."

"I can," he said with a smile, "Wait a minute, steam the buns and I'll make them for you."

Fu Xiao stared at him with a strange look in his eyes, "How come you know so many things? Not only can you knead the dough, you can even make fried dough twists..."

Chen Xingzhou lowered his eyes, "Xiaoxiao, I have been alone for a long time,"

If he doesn't know how to do something, no one will help him do it.

Fu Xiao was soft-hearted, and suddenly felt a little sorry for him. He walked over and rubbed his head, "I won't do that again. You can spend the New Year with me."

Shen Xingzhou raised his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes were bright, and she was reflected in his eyes.

Yes, he also has a home, and the girl in front of him gives him a home.

"Chen Xingzhou, we can cease fire now,"

Mu Lianshen's voice came from outside the kitchen: "An An, the fish is ready."

Fu Xiao responded: "Dad, bring it over here,"

The kitchen floor was full of food and Mu Lianshen had no place to step. He put the fish down and walked out.

She fished out the last meatball and looked at Shen Xingzhou, "Put the meatballs on the cabinet in the living room, and remember to find a lid to cover them."

"Um,"

Fu Xiao marinated a pot full of fish fillets with green onions, ginger, white wine and some seasonings.

Wait about half an hour before frying.

After frying the fish pieces, they started to steam the buns. After the buns were in the pot, Shen Xingzhou pulled her to sit in front of the stove and roast the fire while he stood in front of the table and started to make twisted dough sticks.

Fu Xiao supported his chin and watched him busying around, then suddenly curled his lips and smiled, thinking that this was pretty good.

In this era, it is not difficult to find someone who can do everything, but it is very difficult to find someone who is willing to do everything for you.

After all, in their minds, the purpose of marrying a woman is to take care of the household.

At least, Shen Xingzhou doesn't have these male chauvinistic problems.

It was enough that he put her first in everything.

As for whether it will change in the future?

Who cares? If he changes, just don’t want him anymore.

If he could always be like this, she would be nice to him.

Shen Xingzhou's voice was full of laughter: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, are you okay?"

"Well, open fire and blast,"

...

New Year's Eve.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the auspicious snow welcomes the new year.

As night fell and the firecrackers burned out, the Mu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was placed on the table.

Grandpa Mu even raised his glass and clinked it with Fu Xiao's. "My dear granddaughter, you are one year older."

Fu Xiao drank the fruit wine she brewed herself. Mu Lianshen poured her a small cup, and she smiled and drank with him.

After finishing the wine, she wanted to add some more, but Mu Lianshen snatched the bottle away and said, "One glass is enough."

"Dad, I'm eighteen years old this year, an adult,"

"You're only eighteen after May, you're still a child now,"

Fu Xiao winked at Grandpa Mu, who tried to smooth things over, "Well, why don't you just let her have another drink? This wine isn't intoxicating..."

"that is,"

Mu Lianshen smiled faintly: "If you don't go out tonight, I'll let you drink."

She smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, I won't drink anymore. I still want to go out for a walk."

Mr. Mu asked, "Where are you going?"

"Just... go out for a walk,"

How could Mr. Mu not know? She didn't have any good friends to play with, so she must have gone out to find Chen Xingzhou.

Oh, the child has grown up.

Mu Lianshen picked up the wine glass and started drinking with Grandpa Mu.

Old Master Mu occasionally told stories about the two Mu Lianshen’s childhood funniness, which made Fu Xiao laugh out loud.

The entire Mu family was filled with the laughter of her and Old Man Mu.

Mu Lianshen always had a gentle smile on his face.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it was completely dark.

Mu Lianshen replaced the red lanterns in the yard with red candles.

Every house was brightly lit, there were sounds of laughter and joy everywhere, and occasionally the sound of children playing with firecrackers could be heard in the courtyard.

After clearing the table, Mr. Mu looked at her and waved his hand, "Go out and play."

"Okay," Fu Xiao picked up the cotton jacket on the sofa and put it on with a smile. Seeing that Grandpa Mu was also getting dressed, he asked, "Grandpa, are you going out too?"

"Well, go talk to Lao Zhai next door,"

Fu Xiao took his arm and said, "Let's go out together."

Mu Lianshen also followed them out. The grandfather and grandson turned around and asked almost in unison: "You are going out too."

The two smiled at each other and then turned their eyes to him.

He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Many people from the Zhai family have returned home. I'll go talk to them for a while."

Fu Xiao asked: "What about me?"

"Go and have fun. I'll take you to pay New Year's greetings and meet people tomorrow."

"Okay then," she continued walking forward holding Grandpa Mu's arm, and separated from the father and son at the door of Zhai's house.

As she turned around, Mu Lianshen's voice came from behind her, "Don't play too late."

"knew,"

Watching her jumping forward, Mr. Mu looked at Mu Lianshen with a half-smile, "I thought you were going to stop me from leaving the house."

"I can't stop him," Mu Lianshen said calmly, "Besides, don't you like that boy very much?"

Mr. Mu smiled with emotion: "You have to know that it is because our family likes him that I will understand him."

"So what is the result you understand?"

"He's a nice guy, but I just feel uncomfortable."

He patted Mu Lianshen on the shoulder and laughed: "Boys and girls are different."
