The noise in the world has nothing to do with the changes of the sun and the moon. In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.
Lin Nianhe got up early in the morning, wearing a festive red sweater, waving his little hands and going downstairs to help Lin's mother prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Mother Lin: "Sister-in-law, please stay away from me and go play by yourself."
Lin Nianhe blurted out: "It's New Year's Eve, everyone is busy."
After saying that, she frowned.
Um? These words seemed familiar, she seemed to have said them many times.
Mother Lin: "Then you go play with your little niece from Uncle Huang's family."
Lin Nianhe: "..."
really!
Lin Nianhe looked at Mother Lin with complicated eyes for a while, then turned around and ran outside the hospital, pinching Lin Huaizhou who was posting couplets.
"Hey? What are you doing?" Lin Huaizhou looked at Lin Nianhe in confusion.
Lin Nianhe: "Brother, does it hurt?"
Lin Huaizhou shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't hurt, you didn't exert enough effort."
"oh."
Lin Nianhe used all his strength to pinch the inside of Lin Huaizhou's arm and not let go.
Lin Huaizhou: "...!"
"Brother, does it hurt this time?"
"pain!"
"Oh...then it's not a dream."
Recently, there have been too many people talking to her about Uncle Huang's little niece, and she almost thinks that she is in the game world, and her little niece is the NPC that she must visit in the main mission.
Lin Huaizhou was quite helpless: "You came over here and pinched me just to prove that you weren't dreaming?"
Lin Nianhe nodded seriously: "Yes."
Lin Huaizhou: "..."
He, he...his sister is so smart, she knows how not to hurt herself!
Lin Huaizhou wiped his face and drove people into the house: "Go, go back to the house to play. Don't even wear a coat when you come out. Don't catch a cold."
A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Nianhe couldn't help but shiver. She rubbed her arms and ran back quickly: "Okay."
As soon as Lin Nianhe entered the house, the door of Su's house next door opened.
Su Yuncheng came out with the couplets and paste. Seeing that Lin Huaizhou's left hand was still not convenient, he walked over and took the couplets from his hand: "I'll do it."
Lin Huaizhou didn't think much about it, let alone be polite to him. He gave him all the couplet paste and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper: "How are you doing recently?"
"There are a few reports to write." Su Yuncheng slowly applied paste to the back of the red paper.
"That's okay. My dad asked me to practice with the new guys after the Chinese New Year. Can we go together?" Lin Huaizhou raised his chin towards him and extended an invitation.
Su Yuncheng was very good at training soldiers, and none of the soldiers he trained were weak. There was no time or opportunity to study these before, but now Lin Huaizhou wants to steal a master.
Su Yuncheng thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, but I can't stay too long, there are still things in the Black Province."
"I know, you can leave when the time comes." Lin Huaizhou said, "After I finish things here, I have to go to the northwest again."
"Not finished?"
"It's over, but I'm still a little worried. Let's take another look."
"Um."
Su Yuncheng could understand Lin Huaizhou's thoughts. Unless you see something with your own eyes, you won't believe it no matter how many times others say it.
Lin Huaizhou looked at Su Yuncheng and frowned: "How long do you have to apply that paste?"
Su Yuncheng replied seriously: "Apply it evenly and it will stick firmly." He continued to apply the paste, not sparing every corner.
Lin Huaizhou looked at him with questioning eyes, always feeling that this matter was not that simple.
But isn’t this just a couplet post? What else can there be?
"Hey, Yun Cheng is helping my uncle to post couplets?"
Behind him, a friendly voice of ridicule came.
Lin Huaizhou: "...!"
He finally knew what this guy wanted to do by lingering in front of his house! I bet he is waiting for the "audience"!
"Su Yuncheng, you really have exhausted all your traps!"
Su Yuncheng: "Brother, thank you."
"roll!"
The daytime on New Year's Eve always seems boring and long. The parents were busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, and they had to control their emotions so as not to pick up the little kid who was acting evil and beat him up. A busy day without touching the ground, just for the last meal of the year.
The Lin family is unhappy. Neither Lin's father nor Lin's mother has any brothers or sisters. The elders of both families passed away early. During the Chinese New Year, they were the only family of four, which seemed a bit deserted. Father Lin temporarily went out to handle some work in the morning and returned in the afternoon.
It was a small but cozy place. Mother Lin prepared eight dishes, each of which was small in quantity and just enough for four people to finish.
"Come on, it's rare that everyone is here this year. Let's raise a toast." Father Lin held up the wine cup with one hand and held Mother Lin's hand tightly with the other hand. "First of all, I would like to pay tribute to Comrade Zirui who has worked hard for our family. You are my most important person." Like-minded comrades and comrades-in-arms, they are also my sincere lovers.”
Mother Lin pursed her lips and smiled, her face a little red: "Don't say this in front of the child."
"I have to say this in front of everyone," Lin's father said sonorously, "Zirui, being with you is the greatest blessing in my life."
Mother Lin's face turned redder, but her eyes when looking at Father Lin were particularly firm: "Me too."
Next to them, the Lin family's big and small accidents applauded together, for the love of their parents.
Father Lin and Mother Lin met in troubled times and fell in love during war. They have the same beliefs and goals, and have overcome countless obstacles together. They are lovers, comrades, and comrades-in-arms.
In fact, they spent a long time apart. With the war raging and letters failing to arrive, they never know whether this separation will be their last in this life. But they never retained each other, even though they knew the road ahead was dangerous. What they pursue is never just family stability.
Father Lin was absent from the birth of his children, and Mother Lin also left him who was seriously injured to go to a place where she was needed more. Their love has never been a close relationship.
Now, their temples are white and their children have grown up.
Father Lin is partial to his daughter because she is too much like his Zi Rui. Whenever he sees his daughter's smiling face, he always thinks of his wife's childhood, adolescence, and youth, and the times he has missed.
As her daughter grew up, she pushed away the arms that protected her. She had her own ideals and wanted to go out on her own.
Father Lin was sad and distressed because of this. But when he saw Mother Lin again, he suddenly felt relieved.
Yes, my daughter is so much like Zi Rui, so naturally, like her, she will move forward for her ideals. She would not be a delicate dodder huddled under his wings.
Looking at his daughter's smile and then looking at the shallow scars on his son's face, Father Lin thought of those glorious years again.
He smiled, held his wife's hand tightly, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Little Accident sipped his soda and bumped Big Accident with his elbow: "Brother, I don't think what Dad was looking at just now was me at all."
I have long been accustomed to big accidents, so he comforted me: "Don't think too much, he just didn't look at you."
"Brother, you know how to comfort."
"Of course, who is your brother?"
