"Uncle..."
The little hand was clenched by a big hand, Xiaohuan's body trembled, she turned around, and looked at him bewilderedly.
When they were in Liuye Village, they went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, hunted rabbits, and caught pheasants. When she couldn’t move down the mountain, my uncle would carry her on his back. When she fell asleep listening to stories, my uncle would carry her back to the room. Sleeping..., my uncle has not held her hand for a long, long time.
Li Yi looked at her hand. The originally slender and white fingers had many scratches, smooth nails, and many small worn-out gaps.
Li Yi held her hand with both hands, and said softly: "Why are you so stupid..."
Her eyes were bent again, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, she whispered: "Master, Xiaohuan is not stupid, Xiaohuan is willing."
Li Yi pulled her over, let her sit on his lap, hugged her into his arms, and said softly, "It's all my uncle's fault..."
A little panic appeared on Xiaohuan's face, and he quickly said: "Young Master is the best for Xiaohuan..."
Even Li Yi himself felt that he was not a thing, and ignored her during this period of time. She was still defending him at this time, and said that she was not stupid. Li Yi scratched her nose and said: "Go, my uncle will give you Cook longevity noodles."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Xiaohuan's big bright eyes, and then her nose became sore: "Young master still remembers..."
"gone… "
Li Yi took her hand and walked towards the small kitchen.
A long, long time ago, when the family of four in Liuyezhai was not a county lieutenant, not a county marquis, not a doctor Jin Ziguanglu, nor King Jing, what he had to do every day was nothing more than teaching and doing things. Rice, tease the little girl...
At that time, I was not that familiar with Ruyi, nor was I that familiar with Ruyi, and the only person who could talk every day was Xiaohuan.
She would be with the group of brats, listening to him tell the story of the three dozen white bones in the school, helping him wash and chop vegetables after school, even if she couldn't do anything, she would hang around and listen to him Talk about weird things...
The recipe for longevity noodles is very simple, noodles, vegetables, eggs, what Xiaohuan can do is to light a fire, and her favorite thing to do is to light a fire.
She sat by the stove, looked at it with her head, and said, "Grandpa, one egg is enough, I can't eat two..."
"There's no reason to put an egg in the longevity noodles, you must put two, one can't be more, and one can't be less..." Li Yi didn't look back and continued to work.
An expression of interest appeared on the little girl's pretty face, and she asked, "Master, why is that?"
Li Yi explained: "This is particular. Two eggs represent good things in pairs..."
The little girl's eyes began to glow with admiration again: "Master, you know so much..."
Xiaohuan's daily admiration for him should have slowly accumulated from the strange things he heard from him every day in Liuye Village...
Time seems to go back to six or seven years ago. It was a smaller and dilapidated kitchen than here. Li Yi recalled now that he was hesitant and confused when he first came to this world, probably in such a small place , amidst the little maid's twittering and surprises, she slowly disappeared...
Today's moonlight is still bright, and there are many lanterns hanging in the yard, so it doesn't look so dim.
Li Yi and Xiaohuan were sitting in the yard, the longevity noodles in a small bowl in front of her were still steaming.
Xiaohuan picked up the chopsticks, thought for a while and then put them down, quickly ran into the kitchen, took another bowl and walked in.
Seeing that she was about to divide the noodles in the bowl, Li Yi hurriedly stopped: "You can't divide the longevity noodles. If you divide it, you will not live long."
Xiaohuan shook her head, and said: "It's not interesting for Xiaohuan to live a long life alone, Xiaohuan wants to live a long life with my uncle..."
In some matters, if Xiaohuan became stubborn, Li Yi would not be able to persuade her.
He didn't insist anymore, Xiaohuan gave him half of the noodles, and gave him a poached egg.
A bowl of noodles is not much. To Li Yi, it is just two or three bites, but she eats very slowly, chewing every bite carefully.
Li Yi showed a smile on his face and asked, "How does it taste?"
She nodded and said, "As long as my uncle cooks food, it's delicious."
Only Xiaohuan thinks so, what kind of flowers he can cook with a bowl of ordinary longevity noodles, maybe it is slightly worse than the current Ruyi.
Snapped!
Li Yi watched her eating noodles. In the dark night, a flame suddenly flashed across the night sky, and then it exploded.
Xiaohuan was startled, she put down the bowl and turned her head, after a moment of stunned, she pointed to the sky in the distance and said happily: "Master, look quickly, someone is setting off fireworks!"
Xiaohuan is very happy. Ruyi City is in the mountains. Because of the fear of causing mountain fires, fireworks are prohibited even during Chinese New Year. This is the first time she has seen fireworks here.
With the first explosion, flames shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire Ruyi City like daytime.
There are certain safety hazards in setting off fireworks in the mountains. For this fireworks show, Li Yi specially cleared out a square.
In the past few years, Jing Guo's research on gunpowder has made great progress, and fireworks and firecrackers have also been played with various tricks.
From Li Yi's point of view, when the flames were extinguished, the little maid was in the depths of the fireworks, and the flickering fireworks made her pretty face even more beautiful.
This is the first time that Ruyi City has set off fireworks on a large scale. Countless people in the city walked out of their homes and came to the yard and the street, looking at the night sky in the distance.
The entire Ruyi City became boiling at this moment.
The fireworks lasted for a full quarter of an hour before they gradually extinguished, leaving only the words "Fu Shou Kang Ning" on the night sky, which lingered for a long time.
Xiaohuan looked at those four words, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Looking at Li Yi, his eyes were moist, and his lips were parted, "Grandpa..."
Li Yi walked over, wiped the tears off her face, and said with a smile, "Don't cry, everyone is waiting for you..."
"Everyone… "
Ruyi and Ruyi walked in from the courtyard, Ruyi hugged her, touched her head, and said, "Our Xiaohuan has grown up..."
Miss Liu Er gave her a sword that was tailor-made for her and had her name on it.
Everyone in the Li family practices martial arts, and Xiaohuan is no exception. She has been taught by so many masters. Although she looks weak, like Li Xuan's three-legged cat kung fu, she can hang up and fight.
Xiaocui and Xiaozhu also sent gifts, and the three of them are now as close as sisters, so it is impossible for them to be left behind.
Even Li Duan has a gift, which is a villain he cut with a knife, although he can't tell that it is a villain, but it is also his heart...
People inside and outside Ruyi City may not know who's birthday is on March 21, but they will always remember this day.
Because every year on March 21, there will be a grand fireworks show in Ruyi City, which has virtually become a tradition in Ruyi City.
That night, they were arguing very late in the room, and by the time Xiaozhu Xiaocui and the others left, Xiaohuan had already fallen asleep on the table.
Li Yi walked into the room and gently picked her up. When he walked to the bed, before he put her down, he saw the little maid's eyelashes tremble slightly.
Li Yi didn't let her go, just hugged her and sat by the bed.
He looked down at her, and after a long time he came close to her ear and whispered, "If I don't wake up, I'm leaving..."
Xiaohuan's eyes opened immediately, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she whispered: "Young Master..."
Li Yi hugged her tightly, and Xiaohuan said in a lower voice: "Uncle, can you stay a little longer..."
Li Yi kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said softly, "I'm not leaving today..."
He felt his body trembling in his arms.
Xiaohuan looked up at him, and a mist soon appeared in his eyes.
She hugged Li Yi tightly, leaned her head on her shoulder, and choked up, "Master, Xiaohuan... Xiaohuan has been waiting for you for a long, long time..."
