Late at night, Huo Feng was in no hurry to go home. He was busy climbing up and down Yu Sangzhi's house, posting the word "Fu".
He bought a lot of bright red festive things, determined to add some New Year atmosphere to Yu Sangzhi's home.
Because he always felt that Yu Sangzhi's home was too lonely.
Huo Feng believes that even if there are only mother and daughter living at home, life still needs a sense of ritual. Otherwise, life will be like a pile of mud, and people will gradually lose the meaning of life.
You know, people live to struggle.
No matter how depressing life is, it needs occasional embellishment. Even in a stagnant life, we need to find things to do, otherwise, life will be too boring.
Later, Huo Feng came to the door of Yu Sangzhi's house, stood on a stool, and began to post couplets.
Outside the house, Yu Sangzhi stood behind him, helping him to check whether he was heading in the right direction.
"A little further down... a little tilted, a little to the left."
"Is this okay?"
"Hmm... that's fine."
The two worked together to post the first couplet.
Not to mention, the addition of a little red at the doorstep really brings out the New Year atmosphere.
Chen Huifen came out of the house and saw the two children playing with these things. She smiled kindly and called out, "Xiaofeng."
"Hey, Auntie."
Huo Feng quickly got down from his chair and greeted Chen Huifen with a smile, "Auntie, I didn't see you just now. So you're home."
"Just slept for a while."
Chen Huifen walked over to the two children with a smile, looked up at the door with the couplets posted on it, and said, "It's quite festive."
"Isn't it?"
Huo Feng pulled the chair to the other side of the door and climbed up while talking, "It will feel so festive if you stick it on. This is how it's supposed to be during the New Year. Sang Zhi keeps complaining about it. Auntie, do you think she looks decent?"
Unexpectedly, after seeing Chen Huifen, Huo Feng actually started to complain.
Chen Huifen was amused by Huo Feng. She helped Yu Sangzhi and said, "Xiao Sang, I never really care about these things. She's a bit old-fashioned, so you have to be more tolerant of her."
Huo Feng smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
"Hello…"
Yu Sangzhi couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Mom, why are you speaking up for him? I'm not a conservative person..."
Chen Huifen smiled silently.
At that time, after Huo Feng climbed onto the chair, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Yu Sangzhi, "Give me the second line."
Yu Sangzhi reluctantly handed the second line to Huo Feng. Seeing her unhappy expression, Huo Feng smiled even brighter, "Are you angry?"
Yu Sangzhi replied: "No."
Huo Feng stretched out his other hand and said, "Give me the double-sided tape."
Yu Sangzhi then handed over the double-sided tape and walked over to help Huo Feng apply the tape.
Chen Huifen stood by and watched silently as the two children cooperated with each other.
The scene at this moment suddenly made her feel as if she saw the young couple packing up their small family together many years later.
Until now, the more Chen Huifen looks at these two children, the happier and more at ease she feels.
It's a pity that they are still young...
If they were already in college now, the marriage could be arranged.
But I am only in high school, so young that the future seems uncertain and can change at any time.
Finally, Huo Feng posted the couplets and the banner in the middle on the door of her house.
This pair of black words on red paper posted at the door really brings the atmosphere of the New Year.
Huo Feng got down from his chair and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Then, he asked Chen Huifen, "Auntie, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Have you bought the food? Do you want me to go to the market with you tomorrow morning?"
Chen Huifen was really satisfied with Huo Feng's attentiveness. She expressed her gratitude and said, "I've bought it. It's all bought. Xiaofeng, thank you so much for taking care of our family over the past six months."
As an elder, Chen Huifen's words of "thank you" really came from the bottom of her heart.
There are no men in their family, only two women who depend on each other.
But in the past six months, the visit of Huo Feng has really brought a lot of convenience and security to their family.
Although Huo Feng is still young, even a minor, the responsibility and demeanor revealed in his various behaviors are no less than that of any adult man.
Chen Huifen thanked him.
At the same time, I also believe that a boy like Huo Feng will one day grow up and become someone worthy of entrusting your life to.
Chen Huifen really hopes that the two children can work hand in hand, grow together, transform together, and mature together.
"Auntie, please don't be polite to me."
Huo Feng patted his chest and said, "I've told Sang Zhi that from now on I'll be the man of your family. If there's any dirty or tiring work, or any electrical work you can't handle, come to me. Of course, if there's anything good, you can't forget me, right?"
Chen Huifen couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, how could I forget you."
"Auntie, I bought some New Year's goods. Let's go inside first."
Huo Feng picked up a chair and led the two of them inside, saying as they walked, "I've also bought red candles. Remember to light them at the door on New Year's Eve. Oh, and I've also bought cigarettes for offering sacrifices to the gods. Remember to pray to the Kitchen God tomorrow night. That way, the fire will be prosperous in the new year..."
He kept chattering all the way, telling me some trivial details.
You can tell that he is a person who pays great attention to details in life.
Yu Sangzhi looked at Huo Feng who was chattering non-stop. She curled her lips and whispered to Chen Huifen, "Mom, look at him. He's so talkative."
Chen Huifen smiled and whispered back to her, "Don't be disgusted, there are many good children."
