"Ahem." Xiao Lin Kongqing coughed twice, "It's not that..."

"Clean obediently." Xiao Linhui approached, pinched Xiao Lin Kongqing's face, "Don't think wildly."

"I didn't think wildly." Kobayashi Kongqing corrected, "I was very focused and had a clear purpose."

"Well..." Kobayashi Hui looked away, "Then... then we have to wait until the cleaning is over."

If it is cleaned like last time, I am afraid that it will be the first month after cleaning.

There are still many preparations for the new year, such as making shimenawa, which symbolizes the protection of peace, and Kadomatsu, which opens up the gods for the god of the year, and making rice cakes to make mirror cakes as the attachments of the gods, etc.

However, with the development of the times, many of them have been simplified or even disappeared.

Take Osechi cuisine as an example. In order to allow the family to have a good rest during the New Year, housewives usually prepare enough food for the family for three days before the 31st. In a lacquered wooden box, it means that there will be many good things in the new year.

Now, just go out and eat.

However, some customs have been preserved, such as soba noodles.

The slender noodles symbolize longevity, and they have the meaning of wishing that the fate of family members will last as long as soba noodles.

In addition, buckwheat noodles are easy to cut, so eating them during the Chinese New Year can easily cut off the troubles of the past year.

Put the mirin into the pot to make it boil, remove the alcohol, then change to a low heat, add coarse sugar to melt, add an appropriate amount of soy sauce, heat it on a low heat, wait until the soy sauce on the side of the pot has small bubbles, and the surface appears Turn off the heat after the white froth, skim off the froth, wait for natural cooling, and the soy sauce seasoning is ready.

Then use kelp and dried bonito to cook the noodle soup, boil the hard soba noodles in cold water, put in the hot noodle soup to warm up, add soy sauce seasoning, garnish with fried shrimp tempura, rapeseed, fish cake, long onion and yuzu peel , two bowls of New Year's Eve soba noodles are complete.

"I'm gonna start now."

Kobayashi Kongqing and Kobayashi Hui sat opposite each other, enjoying their first New Year's Eve together.

At this time last year, the two were still spending New Year's Eve at their respective homes.

This year, it was spent in a family composed of the two of them.

Every New Year, people always subconsciously think back to what happened this year.

In all fairness, a lot of things have indeed happened in the past year.

One problem after another, one trouble after another, one difficulty after another.

But at this moment, sitting in front of Kobayashi Hui, what flashed through Kobayashi Kongqing's mind was Kobayashi Hui's cute appearance, gentle appearance, serious appearance, and shy appearance...

"What's wrong?" Xiao Linhui raised his head.

"Nothing." Xiaolin Kongqing smiled lightly and shook his head.

Yes.

Compared with Kobayashi Hui.

Those problems, those troubles, those difficulties... nothing really.

Kobayashi tilted her head, "Are you thinking of me?"

"how do you know?"

"I guessed it." Kobayashi Huiying pursed her lips lightly, "Because I was thinking about you just now, so I guessed that you must also be thinking about me—and I guessed right."

"I was just thinking about it. This year has not been easy, and I have encountered many things..." She smiled slightly, sweet joy leaped from the corners of her eyes to her brows, and her bright eyes looked gently at her. Looking at Xiao Lin Kongqing, "But from the moment your figure emerged, I can't remember those things."

Chapter 461 I belong to you too

Kobayashi leaned on her chin and looked at her husband, "I feel like a troublemaker."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Kongqing didn't realize it, "What kind of metaphor is this?"

"Whenever I think of things that would bother me, you would run out and drive those things away." Xiao Linhui half-closed his eyes, "Then come and bother me."

"What's bothering you?"

"I won't tell you~" Xiao Linhui snorted, lowered his head and continued eating noodles.

Kobayashi Kongqing noticed that her ears were turning a lovely pink.

The day of December 12 is called the Great Darkness Day. According to the tradition, on the night of the Great Darkness Day, people go to the temple to ring the bell, which means to solve the troubles of the New Year.

But now there are not many people rushing to the temple at night, and most of them go the next morning.

After eating the soba noodles, the two of them had no idea of ​​going to the temple, so they nestled in the kotatsu to watch the red and white singing.

A kotatsu is a combination of a table and a quilt. At first, it was just a cloth covering the newly extinguished stove. Later, the old-style kotatsu gradually developed. There is a pit about tens of centimeters deep under the table, which can be used for heating. Stretch your feet in instead of sitting cross-legged.

At that time, charcoal, honeycomb or briquettes were basically used to generate heat, and the risk factor was too high, so many children died.

In today's kotatsu, there is usually a small electric heater placed on the back of the table, which can generate heat when plugged in, and the surrounding area is covered by a quilt to form a relatively sealed space, allowing the heat to stay inside better.

Nian Gao was very curious about the inside of the kotatsu at first, but after getting in, she found it was too hot, so she ran out again and jumped onto the kotatsu.

Megumi Kobayashi moved away the fruit plate containing oranges to make room for rice cakes.

The big cat lay down contentedly with its two front paws, and fell asleep to the singing of celebrities on the TV. The sleeping position gradually became bold and unrestrained with the singing, lying on its back on the kotatsu table, with its belly bent upwards into a prawn , tilted his head to one side.

That is to say, Mao Mao can sleep like this, Kobayashi Kongqing feels neck pain and back pain just looking at it.

"By the way," Xiao Linhui suddenly said when the host was reviewing this year's hot topic during the interval of the song, "Speaking of which, you told Xingtuan about going to the Red and White Song Festival back then."

That was what Kobayashi Kongqing said when he joined the group at the beginning of the project.

This kind of talk is basically equivalent to a high school student telling other high school students, hang out with me, and I will take you to the Spring Festival Gala.

"I thought it was too difficult at the beginning," Xiao Linhui chuckled, "Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult if the plan is progressing normally."

"You still have to take your time." Kobayashi Kongqing looked at Kobayashi Hui's smiling face. If the rice cakes were not still on the table, he would have thought that the rice cakes had slipped into the kotatsu again.

So, how did Kobayashi Hui show such a nonchalant smile, talk about serious topics, and at the same time rub his little foot against his calf?

Although I can't see it, Kobayashi Kongqing remembers that Kobayashi Megumi is wearing light pink princess socks, dotted with lovely white lace. In the warm kotatsu, the thin socks bring her softness, and the lace occasionally flickers. However, it made his calf itch as much as his heart.

Xiao Lin Kongqing was originally sitting on the side, but when she noticed Xiao Lin Hui's small movements, she moved closer, hugged her, and fell down with her arms around her.

"Well...don't make trouble." While saying this, Xiao Linhui leaned on his arm, twisted it to find the most comfortable position, leaned on him, peeled an orange, and broke off a piece The petals were sent to Kobayashi Kongqing's mouth.

"Ahhh." Xiaolin Kongqing opened his mouth to hold it.

"Bad guy~" Kobayashi Hui's voice softly pulled away Bai Nen's fingers.

"At the beginning, I also had the idea of ​​drawing big cakes." Kobayashi Kongqing explained, "If everything goes well, the model of star clusters becomes a trend, and of course there is a chance to be on the Red and White Song Festival."

"If it doesn't go well..." Kobayashi broke off a petal and put it into her mouth, her cherry lips kissed her fingertips lightly, "It can be said that I had the opportunity to participate in the red and white song meeting, but because of a certain A certain mistake, a lost opportunity?"

Kobayashi Kongqing nodded, "It's too easy to find a reason for failure and throw the blame away by the way."

I could have scored a 600, but I didn't perform well on the day of the test, so I only got a 60 - or so it felt.

In essence, Kobayashi Kongqing just said nonsense.

If everything goes well, anyone can be on the Red and White Song Concert.

The problem is that it can't all go well.

"However, compared to the ease before, everything is really going well now, and the burden is heavier." Xiao Linhui poked the orange into Xiao Lin Kongqing's mouth, "It's not that easy."

The sweet juice stirred in his mouth, Kobayashi Kongqing ate the orange, "Now that I have the opportunity, of course I have to try it, but it can't be done in a short time, maybe three or four years."

"So long?"

"It's already fast. They are still high school students now, and they will be college students in three or four years."

"Speaking of which," Xiao Linhui thought, "next year we will also be college students."

"The corporatization will probably be completed next year." Kobayashi Kongqing said with emotion, "The chairman of the college student."

Kobayashi Huixin peeled an orange and fed a petal to Kobayashi Kongqing, "If you don't give it to me, it's you."

"What is letting?" Xiaolin Kongqing shook his head, "You are really more suitable than me, with better abilities, better personality, better vision, better character, and a clean past..."

"It's not that good~" Kobayashi Hui said while eating a piece of orange, "Oh!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"It's so sour." Xiao Linhui looked at Xiao Lin Kongqing, "Don't you feel it?"

Just now she fed Xiaolin Kongqing a petal, Xiaolin Kongqing didn't mean to be sour at all, she thought the orange was very sweet, so she was soured unexpectedly.

"I feel very sweet."

"Really?" Xiao Linhui frowned slightly, and ate another piece, "It's obviously sour...you can try it again."

"Okay." Kobayashi Kongqing kissed Kobayashi Megumi's moist cherry lips, and tasted it carefully.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Hui's crooked eyelashes trembled, unable to resist.

Nian Gao opened her eyes, glanced at them, jumped off the kotatsu in disgust, and left them to eat cat food.

"Sweet." Kobayashi Kongqing replied with certainty.

"I'm not tasting oranges at all..." Kobayashi poked Kobayashi Kongqing's face helplessly, "Where is it sweet?"

"My wife is sweet." Xiao Lin Kongqing grabbed Xiao Lin Hui's little hand, "Well~ it's still delicious."

"You said it was sweet," Xiao Linhui fed the sour oranges to Xiao Lin Kongqing, "Then it's all yours."

"What about you?" Xiao Lin Kongqing's voice was muffled, he ate everything, what did Xiao Lin Hui eat.

"I..." Xiao Linhui hugged Xiao Lin Kongqing, "I belong to you too."

Exam 9

In the past two days, we will gradually adjust our schedule, so we will start with an update today.

At present, I owe three more, and I will make up after the exam on the 9th.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————

Chapter 462

Kobayashi Kongqing was still thinking about oranges just now, but was caught off guard by Kobayashi Hui's words.

"Is it too foul to say such a thing suddenly?"

"You were the one who fouled first." Kobayashi snorted softly, "It was obviously sour, but it was sweet, and then took the opportunity to kiss me."

"That makes sense," Kobayashi Kongqing nodded, "Then I don't have to follow any rules."

Under the cover of the kotto, the little feet that had been rubbing lightly on Kobayashi Kongqing's calf were captured, and the jade feet wrapped in pink princess socks carried an intoxicating temperature.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi struggled a little, "It seems... a little hot."

"I'm here to help."

"What are you doing to help?"

"Of course it's hot..."

The bells of the temple came from afar, and the [-] tones relieved people of all kinds of troubles.

"Honey," Kobayashi Kongqing hugged Kobayashi Hui's soft body, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year~" Kobayashi Hui responded gently, and the final ending suddenly turned a gentle turn, with soft laziness and seductive sweetness.

......

After New Year's Day, Kobayashi Kongqing and Kobayashi Hui came to Kobayashi's parents' house with gifts.

Xiao Lin's mother saw how satisfied Xiao Lin Hui was, and held her daughter-in-law's hand, chatting with her non-stop.

In contrast, the communication between Kobayashi and his son is much more serious.

"The matter at Maltz's side is almost over. I have sent the money to your card, and the tax has been paid."

"Ok."

"After you go to college, the money can be used to buy a house, after all, it is your own home."

"Ok."

"The corporatization of RER is progressing well, and I need financial support to tell me that it is considered a shareholding."

"Ok."

"Now I am Maltz's largest shareholder, and I will talk to your mother about cooperation in the future."

"Okay...huh?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I bought Maltz's shares before? Since you decided to develop in that line, I don't mind multiple companies." Xiaolin's father glanced at Xiaolin Kongqing, "Twice the stock price turmoil within the control is not enough. If there is no next small company that makes games, then I don’t have to do it.”

"I thought you weren't interested in this kind of industry." Xiaolin Kongqing thought at first that Xiaolin's father was just making a fortune and leaving, but he didn't expect to pack it up and take it away.
