As the years come to an end and the New Year approaches, for most people, the impression of New Year’s Eve is much higher than that of New Year’s Day.
I don't know if it's because there is an extra girl in the family, but Shen Yu feels that this year's New Year's Eve is particularly interesting.
There are New Year oranges and red lanterns placed at home, and there are festive decals on the walls. There are also a lot of balloons piled up at the door, all connected with threads, because firecrackers are not allowed to be set off in the city now. This year Shen Deyou was ingenious and used the sound of exploding balloons instead of the sound of firecrackers. As long as he pulled the rope in his hand, the balloons would crackle.
Zhang Xiaoru also asked someone to buy cypress leaves, grapefruit leaves, longevity grass, orange peels, etc. that were used to boil water for bathing on New Year's Eve. He boiled the water in a big pot, and when it was time to take a bath, he added one or two spoons to the bath water. Wash inside.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoru began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
The New Year's Eve dinner is the most important event on New Year's Eve. The family gathers together to have a festive New Year's Eve dinner, and is reunited.
There are a lot of big dishes tonight, and Li Xiang is not idle either. She goes into the kitchen to help Zhang Xiaoru. She also wants to learn what dishes are included in the New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s just like the Osechi cuisine in Japan. The New Year’s dishes in every place Dinner is mostly the same dishes.
In the past, everyone was very poor and could not eat meat even a few times throughout the year. During the New Year, they could have a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, which is what many people look forward to. However, now that living materials are abundant, the dishes that I liked before are always unpalatable to eat now. It feels a little greasy.
"Lixiang, just let Auntie do the work. You can go take a bath. If you like taking a bath, just scoop two spoons of Daji water into the bathtub later."
"Yeah, then I'm going to take a shower."
"I need to change into new clothes after washing."
"Hehe, okay."
After she left, Shen Yu was called to the kitchen by her mother.
"Go and give Li Xiang some water."
"oh… "
"Get that bucket."
Shen Yu followed his mother's instructions and took a clean red bucket. The Daji water in the pot was very hot, like soup, and the color was brown. He carefully scooped two spoons and came with the bucket. Rika's room.
It's obviously his room...
The door was closed, and Shen Yu was afraid that he would go in and catch her changing clothes, so he knocked on the door.
"I brought you some water."
"Come in, come in."
Chen Yu opened the door and went in. As expected, Li Xiang was changing clothes. She took off her clothes and pants, holding a big towel in her arms. There was white steam in the bathroom, and the bathtub was filling with water.
Li Xiang blinked her eyes and watched Shen Yu pour Daji water into the bathtub, which was a bit like taking a bath in a hot spring.
"This water is good. After washing it, you will have good luck next year. Take a bath."
"Shen Yu, do you want to take a bath together?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu was startled and looked outside the room with the empty bucket. Fortunately, his parents didn't hear it.
"I won't take a shower with you."
"Shen Yujun is so perverted, I'm asking you if you also need to take a shower now!"
Shen Yu had a strange expression on his face, and when he saw the cunning look in her eyes, he knew that he had been tricked by her again.
"I'm going to take a shower, get out soon..."
Li Xiang pushed his back, and Shen Yu was pushed out by her holding the empty bucket.
After closing the door and coming to the bathroom, Lixiang took off her single clothes and pants, stretched out her little hand to test the water temperature, then raised her feet, stepped into the tub naked, and slowly sat down. .
The heat flowed into her body, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. The bath water had a faint scent of licorice. This was the most special soup she had ever soaked in.
The guest room Shen Yu stayed in did not have an independent bathroom, so he took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom outside to take a shower.
After he finished washing, he came out and went back to the room to change into new clothes. Rika hadn't finished washing yet.
After he sat in the living room eating melon seeds for a long time, her door finally opened.
When Li Xiang appeared in front of Shen Yu wearing new clothes, he stopped eating melon seeds for a moment.
"Does it look good..."
Rika noticed his gaze and felt a little shy. She held the edge of her skirt and turned it around in front of him.
"fine… "
Chen Yu continued to eat melon seeds, then looked up at her for a while, "Aren't you cold in this skirt?"
"It won't be cold if I have a heater at home. If I have to go out, I'll change into another one!"
"Oh... Then I shouldn't go out tonight."
"What are we doing tonight?"
"Watch TV and play cards together."
As it gets darker, the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner is ready. The whole family joins hands and brings all the dishes to the table. This year's dishes are richer than in previous years, including chicken, duck and fish.
"Lixiang looks so beautiful today! It's okay, auntie, come here, don't get your new clothes dirty..."
"Hehe, thank you, auntie."
Chen Yu and Li Xiang poured coconut water together. Li Xiang held the cup and he was responsible for pouring it.
Zhang Xiaoru remembered something, got up and went back to the room, taking out a glass bottle, "This is rice wine, brewed at home. It is especially good for women to drink during confinement. Li Xiang will try it tonight."
"She can't drink. She starts blushing as soon as she drinks a little bit of wine." Shen Yu glanced at her and reminded her.
"I can drink anything with a very low alcohol content. Let's have a taste."
"Yeah!" Li Xiang looked eager to try it. She took the half cup of rice wine that Zhang Xiaoru poured for her with both hands and took a small sip. The taste was very soft and she quite liked it.
"How about it?"
"It tastes good! It's a little sweet!"
"Yeah, I said this wine won't choke. When you are in confinement in the future, aunt will brew another bottle for you. This wine is very tonic for making chicken soup and pigeon soup. You will drink a lot of milk after drinking it. of!"
"Yeah!"
Listening to their conversation, Shen Yu kept coughing. They were not embarrassed at all, but they embarrassed him to death.
"Would you like a drink too?" Zhang Xiaoru asked him.
"I don't want it. I don't want to be confined to confinement."
"Tsk, look how proud you are, confinement is very hard!"
The family was chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm. Zhang Xiaoru and Shen Deyou were very happy and asked Li Xiang to eat more vegetables. They also winked at Shen Yu and asked him to pick up vegetables for Li Xiang.
Li Xiang ate so much tonight and drank two glasses of rice wine!
Although the alcohol content of this wine is not high, it is still wine after all. You will not feel anything after one sip or two. After drinking too much, Lixiang will look a little drunk.
"Shen Yujun... I want to eat that dish."
When she spoke, her voice was soft and sweeter than usual.
Shen Yu raised his head and looked at her. After a closer look, he discovered that her fair face was stained with a layer of blush, her big eyes seemed to have a glimmer of water, and her sweet smile also had a hint of coquettishness.
Seeing that he hadn't picked up the food for a long time, the slightly drunk Lixiang pouted her lips and looked at him coquettishly, "Hurry up..."
Neither Shen Deyou nor Zhang Xiaoru dared to speak, they just looked at the two juniors with smiles on their faces.
"Okay, okay..."
Shen Yu had a long hand, picked up some food for her, and reminded her in a low voice: "Don't drink any more, you're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk..."
Okay, it looks like he is drunk.
For the time being, I couldn't even call myself drunk, just tipsy.
It was just the first time for Lixiang to drink so much wine. After entering the drunken state, she became dumber and more coquettish. Moreover, she was very happy today and felt like a dream.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, she became even more drunk and wanted to help clean up, so Zhang Xiaoru asked Shen Yu Fulixiang to go back to her room to rest.
"You're drunk, go back to your room and take a nap."
"Not drunk, not drunk..."
Shen Yu wanted to help her, but she squirmed and refused to let him help her, insisting that she was not drunk.
So Shen Yu said something else: "It's getting dark now, it's time to go to bed. Staying up late is bad."
"I'm very good..."
Li Xiang stood up from the chair, standing a little unsteadily. Shen Yu quickly supported her. She waved her little hands to Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru: "Uncle, aunt, good night."
Zhang Xiaoru said with a funny smile: "Okay, good night, Li Xiang goes to bed early."
This girl couldn't drink much more than she thought. She drank so much that she fell into a daze.
After saying that, he warned Shen Yu: "Take good care of Li Xiang."
She was depressed and speechless. Don't let her drink again next time. A little drunk is just like this, but a big drunk is better.
He helped Lixiang back to the room. Lixiang walked unsteadily, holding his arms with both hands, and her whole weight was pressing on him. Her little hands were still very dishonest. She felt that the arm holding him was uncomfortable, so she simply got into it. Inside his coat, he was hugging his waist.
Shen Yu wanted to speak but stopped, forget it, I won't care about you when you are drunk...
After walking through the corridor and coming to the door of the room, Lixiang changed her position again. She walked around in front of him, hugged him tightly, and hid her little face in his chest.
"What are you doing… "
“The room is so dark…”
As he said that, like a little ostrich, he unzipped his clothes and hid his head inside.
Listening to her coquettish tone and feeling her movements, Shen Yu felt the blood rushing to the top of his head.
"Okay, okay...it won't be dark if you turn on the light..."
Shen Yu silently said not to care about the drunk fool, stretched out his big and generous hand to pat her back, turned on the light in the room, and the dark room became bright.
Half-supporting and half-hugging, she placed Lixiang on her chest, her little hands still holding the hem of his clothes tightly.
"Don't leave... talk to me..."
"I'm not leaving. I'll help you take off your shoes."
After some explanation, Li Xiang let go of him, and Shen Yu took off her shoes, held her legs flat on her chest, and pulled the quilt over to cover her.
Li Xiang was misbehaving again. After the quilt was covered, she tried to lift it off. She even turned over and sat up to take off her clothes.
"What are you doing!"
“It’s not comfortable to sleep in clothes…”
"You're wearing pajamas, really."
"oh… "
Li Xiang obediently lay back on her bed and waited for Shen Yu to help her cover herself with the quilt.
"Sleep well and call me if anything happens."
"Don't leave..."
Just as Shen Yu was about to leave, Li Xiang grabbed his hand with great force.
"I'm in the living room, I won't go far."
"No, no, Mr. Shen Yu is not allowed to leave anyway..."
She was acting coquettishly, and when she saw Shen Yu was about to leave, she immediately refused to sleep obediently. She lifted the quilt again and hugged him.
"Okay, okay, I won't leave, I won't leave."
Shen Yu couldn't resist her, so he had to sit down beside her bed.
Li Xiang lay back down again. Shen Yu helped her cover the quilt again. She held his hand and refused to let go.
"If I don't leave, why don't you let go."
"Not loose."
Rika said, taking his hand and putting it against her face.
This was the first time that Shen Yu touched her face with his hands.
Her skin is delicate and smooth, and it feels super soft. Her face is very red now, and it feels quite hot to the touch.
He remained motionless, just sitting beside her bed and looking at her.
Li Xiang grabbed his hand, caressed her face, looked at him with watery eyes, her silky hair scattered on the pillow, her cheeks were flushed, and there was an eager and sincere light in her eyes.
"Will Mr. Shen Yu stay with me forever?"
This short sentence turned into a rope in Shen Yu's ears, tightening his heart.
"meeting."
Shen Yu looked into her eyes and gently rubbed her face with his thumb. She said it in a drunken tone, and he answered in a very affirmative tone.
It was probably because she was drunk that Shen Yu dared to respond to her so boldly.
"That's great! That's great!"
Even though she was drunk, she still became shy and smiled sweetly.
"Li Xiang is not drunk... I want to stay with Mr. Shen Yu for the rest of my life... and the next life... many, many lifetimes..."
"Life is so long, go to sleep."
"Then, Chen Yujun promised Li Xiang that you are not allowed to leave even if I fall asleep..."
"I promise you."
"Let's hook up..."
She stretched out her right hand towards Shen Yu, bending her cute little finger.
Shen Yu also stretched out his right hand and hooked her with his little finger.
After finishing the hooking, Lixiang took his hand again, climbed up from the bed, half leaned on him, pulled his two arms over, and hugged herself.
"You still haven't slept well."
"It's more comfortable to sleep like this..."
She hugged Shen Yu and leaned her head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat.
Shen Yu lowered his head and could see her pink face, red ears, and smell her unique milky fragrance.
"You tell me a story and I fall asleep after listening to it."
"What story do you want to hear?"
"Lovely."
Shen Yu never thought that one day he would be responsible for putting people to sleep. Li Xiang was more clingy than he imagined, and now she was drunk. If she was not satisfied, she would become even more noisy.
"...The little squirrel and the little mole were good friends. They swore that they would always be good friends and would never fall in love. One day, the little squirrel and the little mole went to a party together. After they arrived, they discovered that everyone present was There were couples, and the little squirrel was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Just when he was trying to find a way to escape, the little mole patted her and said, "Let's go quickly, I've dug the tunnel."
Shen Yu didn't know how to tell stories, but as he was telling them, he felt Li Xiang in his arms calm down, as if he was falling asleep.
When he was breathing a sigh of relief, Rika suddenly hugged him tightly, raised her head and kissed him on the face.
Shen Yu was stunned, and didn't even have time to feel the kiss just now...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen Yu... Li Xiang can't help but kiss you..."
After the kiss, she fell asleep contentedly, leaving Shen Yu in a mess.
