The atmosphere before the Spring Festival in the Ji family this year was more lively than before.
During the general cleaning, Wang Xiufen cleared out the land on the right side of the courtyard and said to Ji Huai, "We need to build two shelves here, one for passion fruit and one for grapes. We can also enjoy the shade below. This land is so good."
She was already thinking of grapes and passion fruits covering the stands, a great harvest.
Ji Huai nodded and responded to her: "Okay, the bamboo is not strong enough for weighing. I will buy iron posts in the next two days to weld them, and then I will give you iron pipes to build them. Then I will paint them with some paint to make them look better."
"Is it so troublesome? Can't we just pick one up?" Wang Xiufen didn't ask for that much.
"It looks messy if you put it up casually, and the vegetable floor is turned over and over by you, and it will be very muddy when it rains. I will buy some cement tiles and lay them back, and it will look neater." He suggested.
Wang Xiufen muttered a few more words, but did not object.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the three people in Ji's courtyard are all busy, and it is full of chatter and laughter from time to time.
Ji Huai bought eight iron pillars and some iron pipes and made two small brackets in the courtyard. A small table could be placed under the brackets. He also painted the brackets to make them look pretty. .
Then, he bought half a truck of cement slabs and red bricks, and a few bags of cement. He went to the backyard to pull a few trucks of sand and started laying floor tiles.
First, we surrounded the tree with red bricks and laid them with cement. Then we divided the vegetable garden into ten areas, and the rest of the area was paved with cement slabs.
In this case, when you stand on cement slabs and plant vegetables, your soles will not be covered in mud.
He was busy working alone, sometimes mixing cement, sometimes laying bricks, and sometimes laying cement slabs. Wen Yun would occasionally discuss with him and help him out.
Wang Xiufen originally thought he was messing around a bit, but at first glance after the changes, the yard had completely changed. She grinned, "Why does it still look like a park?"
Isn’t the park in the village community so neat and planned
Her grandson is really capable!
"Isn't this more comfortable than the messy one?" Ji Huai pointed to another piece of land, "It doesn't look good if it's empty over there. The land here is enough to grow vegetables, so just plant some flowers and plants over there. It will make you feel good."
"We still need to plant flowers, why don't you plant them?" Wang Xiufen frowned. She didn't have such sentiments or hobbies.
"I'm going to make a big flower ball out of bamboo. I can buy some flowers, a variety of them, colorful ones. When they bloom, how beautiful will the yard be?" Ji Huai had already thought about it.
"Grow some bitter gourds, cucumbers, cucumbers, beans, and small tomatoes... Can't they also be climbed up? What kind of flower bulbs should I grow?" Wang Xiufen couldn't understand, "That one can still be eaten!"
"It's enough to plant." Ji Huai pointed to the ten areas divided for her. She didn't understand why Wang Xiufen was so obsessed with growing melons and vegetables
"What kind of flowers to plant? You just have to worry about it, I don't care." Wang Xiufen turned around and went into the kitchen again, unable to understand.
On New Year's Eve, the institution and parents worked hard. Wen Yun went to a class in the morning and came back at noon. She only had three days off for the New Year, and she had to continue classes after that.
Wang Xiufen got up early in the morning and got busy. On the table were chickens she had killed, stir-fried vegetables, and freshly made rice cakes, which were very rich.
After Ji Huai brought Wen Yun back, he took out the couplets in the room, then went to the storage room to take out the ladder and prepared to paste the couplets. Wen Yun also bought a red lantern online and is assembling it.
"It will be a while before we can eat. Let's eat some rice cake first. It's still hot." Wang Xiufen brought a small bowl of rice cake and gave Wen Yun a pair of clean chopsticks.
"Thank you, grandma." Wen Yun put down the assembled lantern and took it with both hands.
The rice cakes in the bowl were still steaming, and they were oily and glutinous. They looked so bouncy that she was drooling.
She picked it up with chopsticks and took a small bite. It was soft in the mouth and tasted extremely authentic. She praised, "The rice cakes made by grandma are so delicious."
"There are a lot of things in the kitchen. If you want to eat, just go in and put it in." Wang Xiufen smiled so hard that she narrowed her eyes and went into the house to work again.
Ji Huai got down from the ladder, pulled the ladder aside, and picked up another couplet. Wen Yun saw him approaching and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
He took two more steps toward her.
Wen Yun stretched her hand forward, lifted the bowl and held it for him.
Ji Huai leaned over, opened his mouth, and pulled off a large piece.
Wang Xiufen walked out just in time to see his bulging mouth, and scolded, "How old are you and still fighting for food? You have a good kitchen, you don't know how to serve it yourself?"
Ji Huai had already climbed up the stairs. He was gagged because he had eaten too much and could not answer the conversation for a while.
Seeing this, Wang Xiufen sneered, "Are you embarrassed?"
Ji Huai calmed down for a while, chewing the remaining rice cake in his mouth, "She has a bad stomach and can't eat more. She can't eat after eating for a while. Let me help."
"I think you cheated on me by eating and drinking." Wang Xiufen came out and spoke without mercy.
"Yes, yes, yes." He stopped defending and nodded while pasting the couplet.
Wen Yun looked at his appearance and couldn't help laughing. After Wang Xiufen left, she stood up and asked him, "Are you still eating?"
"If you don't want to eat, I'll leave it for you to avoid grandma saying I'm not good to you." Ji Huai sighed as he spoke.
When Wang Xiufen got the chance, she complained, saying that their family's conditions were not very good. He was almost left without a father or mother, and she didn't know how long she could help him.
Wen Yun was obedient, sensible and filial, and she was still a college student. She asked him to be nice to her. If such a good wife ran away, she would never be found again.
"You are good to me." She almost blurted out.
He is really good to her. Although he is not always a good person, it still makes people feel that he cares about her and he will never deal with her.
Hearing this, Ji Huai stopped and turned his head, with the corners of his mouth raised, obviously very satisfied with her answer, "You are my wife, if I don't treat you well, who will I treat well?"
Wen Yun was embarrassed and ran away holding the bowl.
As night falls, red lanterns light up in Ji's house, all the lights are turned on, and two pots of ornamental oranges are placed at the door, covered with red envelopes, full of New Year flavor.
The two Samoyeds were also dragged by Wang Xiufen to take a bath. Ji Huai originally wanted to buy the two dogs some festive floral clothes to wear, but Wang Xiufen stopped him. She used her discarded clothes to manually give them The dogs each sewed a piece of clothing.
Not to mention, it looks stylish and looks festive and funny.
Their family doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but they do have reunion dinner. At the dinner table, Wen Yun stood up and poured a drink, then handed it to Wang Xiufen.
"Eat more, eat more meat." Wang Xiufen would tell her this every time.
"Yes." Wen Yun placed another drink in front of Ji Huai. He took the drink bottle directly and picked up the empty cup in front of her to pour it. "I'll do it myself. You sit down."
"I'll serve you some rice." Wen Yun smiled and took the bowl in front of him, speaking softly.
Wang Xiufen watched the interaction between the two, and the New Year's party program was still playing in the living room. Her cloudy eyes were a little moist. In order to avoid making a fool of herself, she gave Wen Yun chicken wings.
Since the death of Mr. and Mrs. Ji, their family has been in a state of despair. Later, because Ji Huai was still young, she and Mr. Ji struggled to hold on. Not long after the good days, he also passed away, and it was like the sky was falling.
The family was about to break up, and if she hadn't been unwilling to see Ji Huaicheng get married, she would have found life boring.
In the past, the atmosphere during the New Year was gloomy, and she was unable to do anything. The more lively the days, the more desolate her family seemed. Only when Wen Yun came did the family gain some popularity.
"Touch one." Ji Huai raised his cup, looked at Wang Xiufen and said with a smile, "I wish you a long life, and you will become younger as you live, and you will become more and more energetic in your work."
"You little bastard!" Wang Xiufen couldn't help laughing and scolding.
Wen Yun met him and blessed her, "I hope grandma will be healthy and happy."
Wang Xiufen clinked the glasses symbolically, and when she put the drink down, she said, "My long-lasting hope is that you two will get married soon and live a happy life. I will die without regrets when I see you give birth to children."
"What day will we not have a good time?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's good, love is stronger than gold! I said, I'll give birth to two, just watch it."
Wen Yun's cheeks turned red from shyness and she kicked him with her feet under the table.
Wang Xiufen looked at his improper appearance and shook her head.
Call him not serious, he has matured a lot this year, and she also sees Wen Yun's kindness, so there is no problem with their relationship.
After dinner, the family of three watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.
There were a lot of snacks and fruits on the coffee table in front. Ji Huai was sitting on the sofa munching melon seeds with a leisurely attitude. He would occasionally peel some for Wen Yun.
Wang Xiufen's room was on the first floor. She went back to the room midway, took out two red envelopes, and first handed one of the thicker ones to Wen Yun.
Wen Yun refused at first reaction and stuffed it into her arms, pretending to be serious, "Who doesn't want new year's money? Looking for good luck, Ji Huai also has it."
After she finished speaking, she handed the other one to Ji Huai.
"Thank you, grandma." He accepted it quickly.
Wen Yun had no choice but to accept, "Thank you, grandma."
"Don't forget to set off firecrackers at midnight." Wang Xiufen was not used to sleeping late, so she warned her and went back to her room.
As soon as she left, Ji Huai turned off the TV.
He is not very enthusiastic about the Spring Festival Gala. He just watched it just to accompany Wang Xiufen.
"Let's go upstairs." Ji Huai stood up, quickly packed the snacks on the table, closed the ones that were open, and closed the ones with lids.
"Aren't you going to watch it? It's quite funny." Wen Yun thought it was pretty good.
Ji Huai: "Isn't it cold sitting downstairs? If you want to watch it, you can go back to your room and watch it under the covers."
Before she could reply, he bent down, put his hands around the hollows of her knees, and picked up the princess.
Wen Yun almost screamed out, Ji Huai lowered his head and kissed her mouth, and kissed her for a while before letting go, "Grandma is sleeping, are you trying to wake her up?"
Her eyes widened and she bit her lower lip with her white teeth to stop speaking. She caught a glimpse of the teasing look in his eyes and couldn't help but raise her hand to hit him lightly on the shoulder, "You're too much!"
unacceptable.
"Is it too much to carry you upstairs?" Ji Huai misunderstood her meaning, hugged her and weighed her up twice, and walked upstairs effortlessly. He also pointedly said, "It's getting more and more uncomfortable to carry you." It took a lot of effort.”
Wen Yun remembered his behavior a few nights ago. When he put her on the bed, she rolled over and hid inside, pointing at the door, "Get out, I'm going to bed."
"Going to bed so early? Are you not staying up late? Aren't we going to watch the Spring Festival Gala together?" Ji Huai said and sat on the edge of the bed.
She straightened her legs and kicked him with her little feet, "You go back and see for yourself, I'll see for myself."
"On New Year's Eve, you want me to go back to watch the Spring Festival Gala alone?" Ji Huai grabbed her ankle and looked at her with his deep eyes, "Daughter-in-law, are you so cruel? How can you just say it? I have prepared it for you. Red envelope.”
There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes, which made her think that he had done something heinous.
She also looked at him with clear eyes. Ji Huai shrugged and felt aggrieved. He heard Wen Yun's clear voice, "You deceived sympathy again, and then you did whatever you wanted."
"..." Ji Huai couldn't hold it back. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He couldn't hide the big bad wolf's tail, so he went to bed and arrested him.
Wen Yun put her hands and feet together and struggled desperately.
"I just want to watch the Spring Festival Gala with you, how can you think of me so dirty? I really prepared a red envelope for you." Ji Huai stuffed her into the quilt, pressed his long legs against her thin legs, and put his arms around her,
Wen Yun: "?"
He conjured up a red envelope from nowhere. It looked very thick and placed it in her arms.
"I don't want it." She knew there was a lot of money without looking at it.
"You've accepted everything from grandma, but not mine?" Ji Huai didn't let her return it.
"Grandma is grandma." she replied.
"Grandma is grandma, and my brother is also brother." He became unserious again.
Wen Yun couldn't resist her, and after opening it, she saw a brand new stack of banknotes inside, "How much is this?"
I'm afraid it's several thousand, right
A lot of money.
No matter the Wen family or the Xu family, they would give her at most one hundred during the Chinese New Year, and more often fifty. Old Mrs. Xu only gave her thirty every year. Some relatives of the Xu family would not give it to her because they have many children. He would say that she doesn’t need red envelopes when she grows up, or give her twenty.
This was the first time she saw so much money. She didn't expect Ji Huai to give her more than Wang Xiufen gave her, which made her even more embarrassed.
"Counting?" he laughed.
"No." Wen Yun planned to retreat.
"Is this rejecting my love? So cruel?" Ji Huai stared at her, his eyes full of hurt.
"I can't take this much money." She felt uneasy accepting it.
Ji Huai continued to hold her and whispered in her ear, "Isn't mine yours? It's just a change of left hand to right hand. Besides, this is the first time he comes to our house to celebrate the New Year. You have to express your gratitude no matter what, not just give it to me." Does more mean more attention? Otherwise, how wronged would you be?"
"I don't feel wronged." Wen Yun retorted.
"Then it's even more important to accept it." He placed both red envelopes under her pillow and took the phone over.
Wen Yun looked sideways at him, but hesitated to speak, and was about to talk about the topic just now.
Ji Huai kissed her, turned on the live broadcast on his phone, and changed the subject, "Continue watching the Spring Festival Gala, we've reached the sketch, watch it quickly."
She sighed silently and found a comfortable position in his arms, looking forward to the Spring Festival Gala.
The quilt is indeed more comfortable than the living room. Someone is holding a mobile phone and you can lean on it. It's greasy and crooked, but it's still very sweet.
Soon, Wen Yun was diverted by the Spring Festival Gala again. When she saw something funny, her eyebrows were crooked and she kept laughing, "Giggle~~"
Ji Huai held the mobile phone in one hand, and held her delicate hand in his other hand, playing with it in his big hand.
"Look, sketches have caught up with the trend." Wen Yun rubbed her chest and pressed her cheek against him.
"Yeah." He nodded, let go of her hand, and moved up the hem of her clothes.
Wen Yun frowned, and when he moved up a little further, she pressed his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Cough." Ji Huai coughed twice and quickly took his hand away.
She ignored him and continued watching the skit.
After a while, the big hand in the quilt became restless again, moving up and up again, gently covering the bulge.
"What are you doing?!" She looked up at him, her cheeks bulging.
Ji Huai put it down again with a look of knowing he was wrong, and held his hand far away, "It doesn't obey. It's okay, I pressed it with my body."
Wen Yun was doubtful, but was attracted by the excitement of the sketch.
Her clear and melodious laughter kept coming. Ji Huai looked down at her moist and soft pink lips. His Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down. His mouth was dry and the fire in his chest kept spreading.
"Ah Huai, you..."
Wen Yun just raised her head and was about to talk to him when she was suddenly kissed.
Ji Huai threw the phone aside, turned over and pressed her under him, hugged her and kissed her passionately. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous. Wen Yun was just addicted to his gentle kiss at first, but gradually changed as her breaths crossed.
He covered himself with the quilt, and the movement in the room didn't stop for a long time.
When it calmed down, Wen Yun lay softly hiding in the quilt, her eyelids were heavy, she didn't have the strength to scold him, she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.
Ji Huai got up and got dressed, and whispered softly in her ear, "It's almost midnight. I'm going to set off firecrackers. Wife, don't fall asleep yet. You'll be frightened and wake up later."
"Well..." Wen Yun didn't hear what he was saying clearly at all. She just felt that he was so annoying and was still buzzing in her ears. She couldn't help but raise a hand to push him, her voice was dragging, "Stop talking, you Disgusting~"
Ji Huai's eyes darkened slightly as he listened to her sultry tone. He looked at the time again, found earphones and plugged them into his phone, started singing on the phone, climbed onto the bed carefully, put the earphones into her ears, and gently He said, "I'll scare you for a while."
Wang Xiufen even bought the biggest firecrackers this year, which were very powerful.
Wen Yun was obviously asleep, so he covered her with a quilt, closed the window, hurried downstairs, walked to the courtyard door with the firecrackers, untied the firecrackers, spread them on the ground, and waited for twelve o'clock with a lighter.
It must be set off on time, and every household here will set it off. When the time comes, it will be full of firecrackers.
upstairs.
With something in her ears and music playing, Wen Yun fell into a daze and felt so uncomfortable that she turned over and pulled it off.
She was so tired that she fell into a light sleep the next second. Suddenly, a "crackling" sound sounded, deafening, and the ground shook.
Wen Yun was suddenly awakened, trembling all over, and her heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang." The sound of firecrackers and fireworks came from all directions. She lay down and took a few breaths, and cold sweat began to flow from her forehead.
The sound of firecrackers continued, getting louder and louder, making the bed shake, and she covered her ears tightly.
When Ji Huai came in, he saw her face turned slightly pale, "Are you scared?"
"...Well." She was still covering her ears. After the torment just now, the corners of her eyes were still a little wet. Her voice was soft and slightly hoarse, and the slightest grievance was magnified.
His heart dropped as soon as he saw her. His body was faster than his mouth. He got into the bed, covered her ears, and took her into his arms.
"I woke up because of you," she complained.
"My fault." Ji Huai put his chin on the top of her head. The sound of firecrackers outside stopped for a few seconds, and he covered her ears tighter.
"Bang bang bang!!!" The last few loud firecrackers sounded, and the firecrackers were finished. Other firecrackers in the village were still going off, but because of the distance, it didn't matter.
He lowered his head and kissed her, "Don't let go, go to sleep."
"I'm so scared that I'm not sleepy anymore." Wen Yun pouted and fussed in his arms, "There's sweat on my forehead, and it's all you!!!"
Ji Huai hugged her, stretched out his hand to wipe her sweat, took the phone over, unplugged the headphones and turned off the song. He put his hand on her back, patting her every now and then, "Slow down."
Wen Yun snorted again.
Just now she was too sleepy to settle accounts with him, but now she was not too weak. She scolded him with a straight face, "You don't keep your word again, you're a big bad guy, a big liar, and you're scaring me."
Ji Huai was especially shameless after eating and drinking, with a smile in his eyes and nodding his head, very magnanimously, "Well, I admit my mistake."
Wen Yun took a look and saw that this man was so shameless.
He put his hand on the back of her head and brought her into his arms, preparing to put her to sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, her little fangs bit his shoulder with considerable force.
"Hiss... Huh~" Ji Huai took a breath and hugged her tighter.
Wen Yun raised her head again and said, "Bite again, but I haven't relieved myself yet."
He was particularly obedient and turned his head to the other side to make it easier for her to get her mouth. He smiled and said, "Bite, you're welcome."
In fact, she was reluctant to part with it, so she bit it lightly in a symbolic gesture. It sounded like a bite, but in fact it was just a grinding. The small fangs were grinding on his thick flesh, stimulating electric currents in his body that hit his mind.
When she raised her head, Ji Huai's thin lips covered her ear, "Are you sleepy?"
"No." She was so frightened that she woke up. How could she be sleepy
"Well... you started the fire, so it's me."
"Ji Huai... ugh!!!"
…
Wen Yun was really sleepy this time, and she couldn't even curse him. In the end, she was held in Ji Huai's arms, and she didn't even have the strength to hold him.
He put his arms around her, brought her hands to his neck, and then held her slender waist.
In the dark night outside the window, fireworks bloomed in the sky from time to time. The two people in the house were sleeping hugging each other. Ji Huai looked at the person sleeping in his arms, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were soft, and he couldn't help but kiss her again. The face is satisfied.
