Even New Year’s Eve was not spared.
The captain passed by and looked at the evenly spread dog shit. He couldn't describe his feelings. Thinking of the person who said he threw shit into the village, this is really...
He didn't know how to defend himself.
This year, neither Old Man Lu nor Lan Lan let Chen Wu and Xu Yin return to the Lu family. They wouldn't have enough to eat if they went, so it would be best to celebrate the New Year at home.
A lot of food has been prepared before the New Year. Xu Yin is not working recently, and when she is bored at night, she and Lu Ye will go out to shoot birds with a homemade air gun.
There were pheasants, pork, mutton, two fish, half a jar of wine-soaked fish made by the Xu family, fried tofu, refined lard, and eggs at home. I won’t mention these. Since Manman was born, there has never been a shortage of them at home. If there is no ticket, we buy it from Su Liuzhi.
Chen Wu got up and had breakfast before planning what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner.
When the people next door woke up and saw Lu Xuan chopping wood in the yard, Lu Ye called out, "Third sister-in-law! Today is Third Brother's birthday! Can you make a cake?"
As she spoke, she lay down at the kitchen door and pulled aside the curtain. Her eyes were sparkling. She didn't look expectant as if she was happy to celebrate Lu Xuan's birthday, but rather as if she was simply greedy.
Chen Wu was surprised: "Is it his birthday today?"
"Yes, but we didn't celebrate it in previous years. No one celebrates it specifically. Besides, Third Brother already eats better food on his birthday than usual." He was simply craving the little cake.
That thing seems to be difficult to make. Third sister-in-law has not made it many times. The last time she made it, Zhao Chengcheng and Zhao Lele did well in the exam, and Lu Ye didn't eat much.
Chen Wu said: "Then make a small cake!"
She said she was making a small cake for Lu Xuan's birthday. Chen Wu felt that she couldn't bother Lu Xuan to beat the egg whites today. After beating them for a while, she felt her arms were sore. Lu Xuan brought some dry firewood into the kitchen.
After washing his hands, he took the basin from her hand and said, "I'll do it."
Chen Wu immediately gave it to him, but she felt a little guilty: "Third brother, today is your birthday. How about I come? I wouldn't want to make your birthday hard. I would feel bad."
The voices of Chen Wu and Lu Xuan were so sweet that Lu Ye felt like he shouldn't be here.
Bending down, he carried Lu Xiaoniao away: "Lu Xiaoniao, let's go find your godmother. If you don't listen to them complaining here, your teeth will fall out, right?"
Lu Xiaoniao now knows what teeth are. He points to his mouth and smiles, showing his little teeth.
They were not quiet at all, and Chen Wu was speechless.
After Lu Ye walked away with Man Man in his arms, Shen Wu said, "I'm serious."
Lu Xuan is now an expert at beating egg whites, and his movements are neat and efficient. However, he is also pleased to hear his wife talking beside him, and he lowers his eyes to look at her.
"You'd better save your hands for the night."
Chen Wu always felt that her mind was twisted. When she looked at Lu Xuan again, his expression was serious.
She has no evidence.
Lu Xuan beat the egg whites and asked, "When is your birthday?"
Lu Xuan doesn't celebrate his birthday, and in fact, Shen Wu doesn't celebrate her birthday either. The original body's birthday was set by the book writer Long Yujiao, on a hot summer day, but the Shen family didn't celebrate the original body's birthday either. In the Shen family, only Shen Jizu had such an honor.
In her previous life, she had chosen a lucky date for her birthday: August 8th at 8:08. She had hoped to get rich quick quick quick...
Chen Wu found it a little funny when she thought about it.
"I don't know either. If not, let's make it today and celebrate our birthday together." He pointed to the light snow falling outside and said, "It happens to be snowing today. I like it."
Lu Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of heartache flashed across his dark eyes.
Birthdays are a day that symbolizes good wishes, but in previous years, the two of them had no expectations. Now that snow was falling outside, they both felt a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.
In the yard next door.
Life was not so peaceful. Xu Yin was tired last night and was still sleeping when she was woken up by a kiss on her face while holding her nose.
Reach out and touch it.
With a face full of saliva, Xu Yin opened her eyes with a bit of disgust: "Lu Yuan, are you dirty?"
“Hehe…”
The more Xu Yin disliked her, the happier she became. She rushed towards Xu Yin and wanted to kiss her: "Mother...year..."
Xu Yin was about to push her away, but when she heard what she was muttering, she was stunned for a moment, and was immediately successfully attacked by Lu Yuan's kiss.
Xu Yin looked at Lu Ye: "Did she just call me mom?"
Lu Ye thought about Lu Yuan's strange tone just now, "Is it about the New Year? Is it because of the recent New Year, she has heard it so many times that she knows it?"
"Chen Wu still teaches her to call me godmother every day, it's definitely not the New Year."
Xu Yin said this with great confidence.
He got out of bed and held Lu Yuan high in his arms: "Okay, it's not in vain that I love you so much!"
"Let's go to the county town during the New Year, and Godmother will buy you delicious food and fun things."
Lu Ye watched Xu Yin playing with the child and saw that his wife really liked children. He wondered if he would ever have a daughter as obedient as Lu Xiaoniao.
There was a multi-course meal in the evening, with a cake in the middle. The Lu family’s kitchen was bustling, and the village was also bustling, with some people shouting to watch a movie.
Normally, movies are not shown during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Tao was a thoughtful person. He used his personal connections to hire a projectionist from the county town and even paid him extra money.
People of all ages came out to see the movie.
Chen Wu and the others were having dinner. As soon as they sat down at the table, Lu Ye was thinking about the small cake and wanted to eat it. Chen Wu stopped him: "Let your brother make a wish first."
"It's just that there are no small candles, otherwise you can blow out the candles and make a wish."
Lu Xuan had never celebrated such a birthday before. Fortunately, Xu Yin had experienced it before. He looked at Chen Wu beside him and the girl in his arms and closed his eyes slightly.
In previous years, when I didn’t celebrate my birthday, I didn’t have so many wishes, but this time, I had a lot of thoughts.
Finally, eliminate the ideas one by one.
He didn't ask for much, just that no matter where his wife came from, he hoped that the family could be together every year, and he was willing to follow her...
When Lu Xuan opened his eyes, Shen Wu asked, "What wish did you make?"
Lu Xuan cut the cake and said, "Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Each person got a piece, leaving a small half for Lu Ye to deliver to Aunt Zhao's house. When he came back, he also brought a plate of white flour dumplings.
When Shen Wu saw the dumplings, she slapped her head and said, "I forgot to make them."
Several people had dinner.
Manman was not sleepy either. Chen Wu and Xu Yin were also preparing to go see a movie, and Lu Xuan and Lu Ye were preparing to go to the back mountain.
As Chen Wu and Xu Yin walked towards the movie theater, they complained, "Why are we going to the back mountain during Chinese New Year? The rabbit has already appeared there."
When passing by the Lu family's door, Xu Yin quickened her pace.
In the past, when it came to watching a movie, Lanlan and Old Lady Feng were definitely the most active participants. But today, the doors of the two adjacent houses were both closed.
I'm still a little uncomfortable.
The movies were just the same old ones, just for fun, with people setting off firecrackers from time to time. Chen Wu waited until Manman fell asleep before going back with Xu Yin.
On the way, Xu Yin was still showing off: "By the way, your daughter calls me mom."
Chen Wu was pleasantly surprised: "Okay, it's worthy of me coaxing her to call me godmother every day, but you can't tell Lu Xuan!"
