Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 74 Recognition
The main dishes of the New Year's Eve dinner include cold pork head meat, a piece of frozen braised fish, a potato stewed braised pork, radish stewed pork ribs, and onion fat pot pork.With a bone soup, the staple food is big white steamed buns and white rice.

For the winter when there are no ingredients, these are all big meat dishes, which is also quite rare.What's more, there are only enough dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner for two people.

The two people in the room sat cross-legged on the kang, and the oil lamp on the small black table under the kang flickered dimly.

Li Diaozhu glanced at the New Year's Eve dinner table with a halo printed on it, smiled and poured half a bowl of corn wine into the empty bowls in front of the two of them.

Picking up the cup, he said with a smile to the person opposite: "Master, this is my first year here, happy new year!"

Zhao Junyi also picked up the cup with both hands, and said, "Happy New Year!"

Li Kongzhu grinned, reached out and touched him.With a raised head, he wiped out the wine in the wine bowl.

The spicy liquid slid down her throat and burned into her stomach, making her whole face turn red.

"Come here! Master, you are the master, come and open this first chopstick! I want to eat pork head meat!" Maybe the white wine added to the fun, this glass of wine made her look brighter and more lively.

His eyes were shining brightly, blinking at him.Indescribably cute and beautiful.

The man put a pig's ear in his mouth as she wished, but the woman shook her head and snatched it quickly.

"Give it to me! I love pork ears with crispy bones the most!" After saying that, he put the pig ears dipped in oily chili oil into his mouth in one gulp.

At the end, he stuck out his tongue and licked the lips that were stained with red oil.

Zhao Junyi's eyes dimmed for a moment because of her small gesture.Then he ate other dishes calmly.

Li Kongzhu took a steamed bun in his hand, and while eating with vegetables, he refilled the bowls with wine for the two of them.

Her drinking capacity is not bad, and when she was a girl, she would eat and drink with her sisters and women who were also servants every festival, so such a bowl of high-quality corn wine is not enough to knock her down .

It was rare for Zhao Junyi to accompany her happily, eating vegetables while drinking appetizing wine, watching her face turn red as she drank more and more, under the shadow of the lamp, she looked particularly charming and charming.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Kongzhu put his hand to his forehead with a little fumes, hiccupped and opened his rippling water eyes, his face, which was as gorgeous as peaches and plums, was brighter than ever before.

"A little drunk, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the year!"

The man drank the last sip of wine from the bowl.Seeing her slightly smoky face shining strangely under the light, I couldn't help but feel agitated.

Putting the chopsticks down, he asked her, "Do you want more food?"

"I don't want to eat!" The woman shook her head, got up and leaned against the Kang wall covered with straw curtains.The aftertaste of this wine was too strong, which made her dizzy a little bit.

Seeing her with her head up and her eyes closed, Zhao Junyi knew that she had almost finished eating, so he began to pack up the bowl, "In this case, let's sleep for a while. There is no need to set off firecrackers at home. When it's midnight, cook dumplings That's fine."

"Yeah!" Li Kongzhu nodded his head, closed his eyes and began to shrink towards the kang, rolled into a ball and began to fall asleep.

The man who was packing up the dishes looked at it and couldn't help but shook his head.

After taking out the leftovers very quickly with his hands and feet, he brought in a basin of hot water.

She washed the towel and wiped it on her face.

Wiping his face with a hot towel made Li Diaozhu, who was snoring with his eyes closed, very dissatisfied.

Seeing her waving to hit her, the man grabbed her catkin and said very patiently, "Wash your face before going to sleep, make yourself more comfortable."

"Hmm~"

The woman hummed impatiently, and exhaled a strong aroma of wine, which sprayed between his panting noses, and the two scents of wine were entangled, which made him start to be dazed, and stared straight at her half. The bright red mouth looked at it.

For half a second, since he wanted to ignore it, he lowered his head like that, and fiercely captured those bright red lips that were shining and silently inviting.

While thinking about it, he was indeed doing the same.

Lowering his head, smelling the aroma of wine gushing out from her, the man's mind began to shake.

The woman turned over impatiently.This turning over woke up the dazed man, and the thin lips that were about to fall unexpectedly rubbed against her bright red and delicate face.

The momentary soft tingling made the man who woke up stunned for a moment again.

Shaking his head and laughing, he threw the towel into the basin.

He pulled the quilt over and put it on her body, and it was rolled up like the one without a pillow.Afraid that she would not feel well, he took the pillow and put it on the bed of the kang, and patted her, "Sleeping on the pillow, it's not good to wilt like this!"

"Hmm~" The woman turned over again, facing him.

The man no longer wanted to look at her rosy little face, fearing that he would not be able to hold back, he had no choice but to look away.

He patted her several times, but didn't see any response from her, so he sighed and took off his shoes and got on the kang, ready to carry her to the pillow.

Just as soon as he took off his shoes and got on the kang, his hands hadn't touched her yet.

Suddenly, the woman rushed over quickly and hugged his thin waist.

He buried his blushing face in his heart and rubbed it, almost making his heart beat out of control and jump out of his throat.

"Head of the house!" the unique woman murmured softly.

Zhao Junyi couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder with his hand, "You're really cunning!" This little fox is really plotting against him all the time!
"Woo~" The woman shook her head, she wasn't cunning, she was just a little drunk and taking a nap.Obviously it was him who couldn't help thinking wrong about himself, how could he blame her?

Looking up, with a pair of autumn water eyes, the man's heart tightened again due to the shimmering light shining in the dim light.

The Adam's apple slid, trying to reach out to cover the charming water in her eyes.

Li Kongzhu half opened his red lips, spit out the scent of wine, looked at him and asked very seriously, "Do you like me? A little bit, a little bit!"

Seeing her reaching out to compare again, the man finally stretched out his hand helplessly to wrap her slender hand in his palm.

The erratic appearance seems to be comforting her who is already drunk, and she sighs: "... yes!"

Li Kongzhu grinned, his smile was very bright, looking at his eyes, it was like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.

The next moment, she buried her head in his heart, hugged his waist tightly, tears flowed out unconsciously, wet the front of his chest, and burned into his chest which was hard to hold.

"It's fine if you like it!" She murmured, as long as it wasn't her wishful thinking.As long as you like it!While thinking about it, she hugged his waist tightly.

The man stretched out his palm and stopped in the air for a moment, and finally put his hand on top of her head lovingly.Wrapping one arm around her slender waist, she pulled it into her bosom vigorously.

Sighing in my heart, that's all, that's all!After all, she still lost to her.

After getting his response, Li Kongzhu's tears flowed even more violently.

From the quiet crying at the beginning, to the loud crying in the middle, to the crying at the end.

The man was so helpless that he had no choice but to lift her into his arms, and looked down at the area on his chest that was wet with water.

He said helplessly to her, "Chinese New Year today!"

"Woooo~~hmm~~I see~" the woman sobbed, no matter how he was still holding the back of her neck, her face was blushing, and she stretched out her hand to hug her again.

The man wiped away her tears with pity, "Crying, it's not good!"

"Hmm, um!" A certain woman nodded straight, and she knew it was not good to cry.But she just couldn't help it, as if years of waiting had finally come to fruition, how could this make her not excited!

Seeing that she was still crawling into his arms, the man raised his eyebrows speechlessly, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I want to sleep in your arms!" I was too lazy to go forward.

The man pulled her aside very indifferently, "I want to meditate!"

woman:"……"

She bit her lip and looked at him unwillingly, seeing that he no longer wanted to talk to her, she began to meditate again.

Reluctantly, she knelt down in front of him, raised her head and stared at him.

The man ignored her, and just said, "Go to bed before the time comes!" As soon as the time is over, there will be the sound of firecrackers one after another, coupled with the excitement of rushing out to pay New Year's greetings , how could there be any possibility of sleeping?
Li Kongzhu stared at his pale pink lips, getting closer and closer, so close that he could smell each other's breath hitting each other's faces.

The man's heart tightened for a moment, and when he opened his eyes, he just looked at her calmly and said, "What do you mean?"

"Like me, right!" He said it just now, and she heard it too, so don't think about being lazy.

The man raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

The woman didn't care either, she just heard it anyway.Blame her for being lazy, it doesn't matter if she is lazy, anyway, she is lazy.

Staring at those beautiful thin lips, the woman swallowed tastelessly, "I think our progress is a bit slow, why don't we go faster?" past.

It's a pity that the man had already guarded against her.

Seeing her rushing forward, she only tilted her head slightly, her bright red mouth pouted forward, together with her small head, just knocked straight towards his shoulder like that.

The woman who was hurt by his hard shoulder almost burst into tears.

Rubbing into his arms, she said lazily, refusing to get up: "You hurt me!"

"Get up!" The man reached out and lifted the back of her neck.

Seeing that the woman was acting like a wolf again, he simply lifted her halfway to prevent her from approaching.

Allowing her to show her teeth and claws, she just said indifferently, "Don't do dangerous things for now!"

something dangerous?What's up?She just wanted to have a boo with him, how could it be dangerous?

The man carried her and rubbed her to the side of the kang mattress, "Sleep!"

Seeing her reluctance and wanted to get up again, he raised one eyebrow and looked at her, "Want me to take it back?"

Ok!

The woman pursed her mouth, he was kind enough, and the words he said were easier than farting, and the peaty ones even had recycling.

Rolling her eyes and despising him bitterly, the woman eventually hiccupped obediently, lay down on the kang, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When the man saw her snoring, he knew that she was really asleep this time.Glancing at her blushing face, then at her soaked chest, she held her chest with a wry smile and shook her head, "It's really..." After all, she didn't escape the net she spun layer after layer!
I didn't sleep for a long time, and at midnight, every household in the village was vying for the first shot of the new year, and because of this, the sound of thunder and clatter was endless.

Li Diaozhu, who was awakened by the firecrackers at that time, rubbed his eyes and shook his dizzy head. When he got up and went out of the house in a daze, he happened to see the man walking back with a curtain of frozen dumplings.

Hurrying over, she stretched out her hand and was about to take it. She didn't want the man to see how she was still shaking, so he shook his head, "No need. The pot is already boiling, just wait in the room."

so good!
Li Kongzhu muttered and swept towards his indifferent face, nodded, "Okay~"

Turned around, went back to the main house and fell down on the kang.

I wanted to close my eyes and squint for a while, but the continuous sound of firecrackers outside made her very upset, how could she fall back asleep?

As a last resort, I had to half-open my eyes, tilt my head weakly, and wait for the dumplings to come out of the pot.

The man's movements were quick, but it took more than a quarter of an hour to bring a bowl of dumplings over.

Set out the bowl and took some mature vinegar.

After Li Diaozhu only dipped a few dumplings into his mouth, he didn't want to eat any more. He flicked his chopsticks, squinted his eyes, and fell down again.

It was because the wine had too much stamina, she was still dizzy.

Fortunately, the sound of firecrackers is not much at this time, it is a good time to catch up on sleep.

The man also didn't eat much. Seeing that she was asleep, he packed up the basin and went out.

When he came back, he took a look at her sleeping position, filled the lamp with tung oil, turned on the wick, and fell asleep on the kang.

Before dawn, the breakfast on the first day of the new year had to be prepared early.

Li Kongzhu propped himself up, and without much energy, he simply heated up a few dishes, and brought the untouched fish from the night before to the table.

About to finish the meal, I heard the sound of a child knocking on the door outside.

Listening to the sound, Li Kongzhu cheered up and quickly took out the red envelope wrapped in red paper.

Hawthorn, peanuts and roasted seeds and nuts, etc., are naturally filled with large porcelain bowls and placed on the kang table.

Going to the courtyard to open the door, Jiwa, the leader, grabbed her first and bowed to her, "Happy Chinese New Year, Third Aunt!"

Li Kongzhu smiled and called out, "Happy Chinese New Year!" and beckoned them to quickly enter the house.

The half-grown children, male and female, all rushed in.

After seeing Li Diaozhu's food on the kang table, they all laughed and went forward to grab the three most memorable hawthorns.

Because Jiwa eats a lot, she is not so irritable now, and she only grabs half a bag in a regular manner and doesn't grab it.

Although the other children were also very envious of those three things, they followed the rules and didn't dare to grab their pockets too full.

After holding things and saying congratulations, Li Diaozhu gave everyone a red envelope.

Although there are only two pennies in it, it is a lot of money for these little kids.

You should know that if you don’t have relatives, go to someone else’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, and it’s good to give a small handful of melon seeds.There is no one who is so willing as this aunt to give back the big red envelope.

The children who got the money jumped three feet high and shouted loudly.The auspicious words in the mouth are like flowing water, and the words keep coming out.

Even when he was about to leave the house after saying goodbye, he still called his aunt affectionately.

Li Diaozhu's energy was improved a lot after being disturbed by them.

After sending them off very happily, they welcomed the three children next door.

Zhao Miaoer took the lead, Zhao Tiedan rolled her eyes, and Zhao Niqiu looked at her timidly with a pale face.

Li Kongzhu let the three of them enter the hospital.

After entering the room, he and Zhao Junyi sat on the top of the kang.

After the three children were caught by the two, they gave each of them a red envelope of ten Wen.

Zhao Miaoer held the bulging red paper bag, and said excitedly on her small face, "Third Aunt, you gave me more money than my mother. My mother gave me two bags last night. He's tall!"

She thought that was the most, but she didn't think that the third aunt was the most.Although I don't know how much it is, it is more than what her mother gave.

Thinking of the osmanthus candy in the grocery store, I'm afraid I can buy a lot better.

Li Kongzhu smiled and touched her small face, then beckoned Zhao Niqiu to come over.

Holding the three hawthorns on the table, he grabbed a handful of each and put them into the small pocket hanging on his chest.

"Come, come, it's Chinese New Year! Third Aunt will decorate you more."

Zhao Niqiu was a little timid, but he looked at her like never before.

After she filled the bag for him, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Third Aunt!"

Li Kongzhu nodded.

Although he didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Tiedan behind him, he still smiled and did not treat him differently.

Let him come closer, and he filled a bag full of food with his own hands.

Zhao Miao'er looked at it and got a little bit of a taste, ran over, shook her arm and said, "Third Aunt, Third Aunt, then I am!"

"You little greedy cat, Third Aunt will lose your mouth!"

Smiling, he bent down and hugged her onto the kang, and put her next to the table, "Well, you can choose whatever you want on the table, and you can fill it with as much as you can! Pack it!"

"Okay!" Zhao Miao'er clapped her hands happily, stretched out her hand and began to grab it wantonly.

Zhao Niqiu on the ground looked at it, not to mention how envious he was.

Zhao Tiedan on the side hummed, and waited for Zhao Miaoer to finish packing, then said, "Let's go, I have to go to another house to pay New Year's greetings!"

"Can I pay New Year's greetings now?" The old man in the family died within half a year, which family would like them to come to the door?
Ordinarily, these little kids who came to pay New Year's greetings today shouldn't be here, but they couldn't hold back their greed, so they all followed Jiwa.

The reason why Li Diaozhu was able to send two red envelopes to each of them was so that when those children returned home, the parents could see it for the sake of the red envelopes and avoid scolding the children for their ignorance.

Zhao Tiedan blushed, and said straight to her neck: "What's the matter with you? I don't want you to pray."

With that said, he turned around and rushed out of the house.

Li Kongzhu didn't feel anything, and after putting Zhao Miao'er down on the ground, he told them to go home quickly.

"Third Aunt needs to catch up on sleep, you go back first, and come back later when you are free?"

Zhao Miao'er, who got things and money, was easy to talk and said something like a grown-up, "Then third aunt, go to sleep, we'll go back first!"

"Hey! What a good girl who is a governor!" Li Kongzhu smiled and patted her head.

Zhao Miaoer, who was praised, dragged her second brother out of the house very happily.

Li Kongzhu sent them out of the hospital, and after closing the courtyard door, he quickly went back to the house.

I saw a man sitting on the kang, cross-legged, drinking hot tea.He quickly took off his shoes and got on the kang, and rushed towards him.

The man was caught off guard by her, and his hand holding the tea bowl wobbled for a while.

Seeing her tightening her waist and not letting go, he let her go.

Li Kongzhu's heart was as if he had eaten a hundred thousand candies, those sweet seeds kept sprouting, bursting and bursting in his heart.It almost melted her heart to the limit.

"Homeland!"

"Ok!"

"You said you liked me last night, didn't you!" Although she was a little drunk, her wine taste was very good.She remembers, remembers all.

I even remember the fact that he kissed himself as a 'rogue'.

man:"……"

"Isn't it?" Seeing that the man didn't answer, the woman hugged his waist tighter and kept shaking, just wanting to confirm the answer again.

"Want to hear?"

"Ok!"

The man put the cup on the kang with a dumbfounded smile, stretched out his hand to put her messy hair behind her ears, raised half of his thin lips, and looked at her with unprecedented black eyes.

"I don't know!" The soft and rustling voice brushed past her ears, and then curled up one corner of her mouth viciously.

Li Kongzhu was stunned for a moment.

In the next second, he jumped out of his embrace like a kitten whose fur had exploded. "I don't know? What do you mean! You just put on your pants and don't admit it?"

man:"……"

"Zhao Junyi, let me tell you. It's not such a cheap thing." She leaned forward to him with a fierce face, "You were rude to me yesterday. Although I'm drunk, my mind is clear. Don't think about being lazy and go."

A certain man coughed unnaturally, rolled his eyes, and said, "Drunk!"

"Drunk?" the woman said loudly.

"What do you mean? I was drunk? Oh, according to what you said, those drunken gaffes and rape... are all caused by drunkenness? Is it because of the drunkenness?"

Men are black-faced, women don't follow.Going forward, he grabbed the skirt of his chest and began to play with it non-stop.

"I don't care, I don't care, you said it, you said you like me. You said it, you say it again, say it again!"

The man let her grind in his arms, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but it was not as good as her wish before he made a second wish.

The woman who had been in his arms for a long time finally didn't wait for his second time, she was very upset and lazy in his arms for a while, and when lunch was approaching, she hummed a few times at him that her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes .

"I don't care, don't even think about being lazy!" If you dare to be lazy, beware that she will come out with crazy tricks again.

The man who looked at her puffing out of the room shook his head and laughed for a while.

When did he say he was going to be lazy?It just feels like there is no need to repeat it.

Of course, it's easy to say we like each other, but when it comes to staying together...

Thinking about what he was hiding, Zhao Junyi couldn't help but look away.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a long time when she saw the money brought back by her youngest daughter.He exchanged glances with Zhao Yinsheng, coaxing his daughter to hand over the red envelope to her.

"Mother will save it for you, you are young, be careful to lose it when you go out."

"But I still want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake!" Zhao Miao'er was a little bit reluctant, and she didn't want to hand it in.

"Do you want sweet-scented osmanthus cake or hawthorn cake!"

What does she want to do with both?
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang patted her daughter's head again, and coaxed: "Be good, after you finish eating the cakes in your pocket, can mother buy you sweet-scented osmanthus cakes?"

"...Okay!" Zhao Miaoer, who struggled for a long time, finally handed out the big red envelope in his hand.

After Mrs. Zhang reached out to take it, she patted her to let her go out to play.

Zhao Miaoer glanced at the red envelope reluctantly, but was finally attracted by the sound of cannons being fired outside, and walked out step by step.

Seeing her daughter going out, Mrs. Zhang quickly opened the red envelope.

Once opened, he counted the money inside.

"It's generous, I gave you ten pennies!" Mrs. Zhang groaned and threw the red envelope to Zhao Yinsheng.

Zhao Yinsheng also took over and took a look.There is indescribable jealousy in my heart.

"Is there no other way?"

Mrs. Zhang, who gave him another glance, snorted, "What else can I do. Now I can only stare blankly for the time being!"

If you want to make a fuss, you have to see what you want to make a fuss about?
Unfilial?The old couple are gone, why not filial?

Regardless of closeness?What kind of intimacy is there if people directly let go of the clan?

Now she is suffering from a headache too.

"Why don't I come to the house to find some gossip after the new year?" Mrs. Zhang thought that after the new year, she would look at the family's earning situation.

There hasn't been a big quarrel between their room and the third room, no matter what.My own sister-in-law came close to the door, so I wouldn't turn my face around and deny it.

Zhao Yinsheng also felt that this was a good way to go, so he nodded and said, "Okay, after the new year, you can follow along to get a closer look."

And Zhao Jinsheng here had the same thought after seeing the twenty cents that the two children got back.

It's just that after seeing his own wife on the side again, she couldn't help but look away in disgust.

After the two children came back, Mrs. Zheng kept pulling her face, watching them eat the three hawthorns in their pockets with relish, and their hands felt a little itchy.

He wanted to hit someone, but he was afraid that Zhao Jinsheng, who was standing there, couldn't bear it anymore, so he started cursing in a low voice.

When Zhao Jinsheng heard it, he immediately sternly yelled, "Damn woman, if you dare to live up to the new year, I will not stop, but be careful that I will send you to your mother's house without saying anything. In this life, you Don't even think about coming back."

Zheng Shi was shocked and turned to stare at him.

The skin of the three-petal mouth trembled, "How dare you!"

Zhao Jinsheng was so disgusted, he stared at her viciously, "Look at me, dare you, if you make trouble with me again, I won't let you go first!"

Zheng shrank her neck, thinking of the kang table that she broke the day before yesterday.After this guy came back and found out, he almost beat her half to death.

There are still many places on her body that are swollen, if she is not wearing clothes.Who would have thought that Zhao Jinsheng had almost slapped her inside out beyond recognition?
"Did you hear me!"

Facing his sudden low drink, Zheng nodded dissatisfied, "I heard it!"
