No matter how spicy it was, Zhuo Qinfeng endured it and said, "It's delicious." ”

"Really?" Tong Xiaoyan replied innocently, pricked a chili pepper, and put it in his mouth.

Tong Xiaoyan took a bite, so spicy that tears overflowed.

The customer hurriedly handed over a bottle of water.

Tong Xiaoyan drank water before calming down.

The customer was frightened until the apology came.

But Tong Xiaoyan didn't seem to blame the customer, she glared at Zhuo Qinfeng with her eyes and walked over slowly.

"Zhuo Qinfeng, what did you just say?"

Tong Xiaoyan's forced question, Zhuo Qinfeng smiled awkwardly, and returned: "I-I don't dare to say that it's not delicious, because you sent it to my mouth-"

Hearing this, Tong Xiaoyan's face turned red, he raised his head, looked at the customer and the customer's father, glared at Zhuo Qinfeng shyly, and ran out.

Only then can customers rest assured.

On the day when Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan were leaving, the customer carried a large plastic bag and handed it to Zhuo Qinfeng.

"What is this?"

Tong Xiaoyan ran over, opened the bag and saw that it was all salt fruits made by the customer's father the day before.

Tong Xiaoyan was very happy and said, "Thank you so much, can you eat it like this?"

The customer nodded. He replied, "Yes, when the salt fruit is ready, you can serve it to the table for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, take it home, and the family will enjoy it happily." Of course, if it is used for the New Year to send to relatives and friends, it can be filled, packaged in transparent plastic bags, etc., so that it is easy to carry. ”

Zhuo Qinfeng saw that Tong Xiaoyan was happy, and the customer's request was readily agreed.

With the customer's gift, that year, Zhuo Qinfeng and Tong Xiaoyan returned to Tong Xiaoyan's home, celebrating the New Year happily, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and relatives and friends came and went.

Zhuo Qinfeng remembered that on the customer's side, on this day, everyone appreciated the prosperous Spring Festival couplets and listened to the Pingxiang Spring Gong together.

I heard that in the past, you could still put fireworks produced by Pingxiang people, but now you have banned smoking, eating Pingxiang salt fruits, talking about the prosperous days of the coming year, and looking forward to a sweet and sweet future life.

In fact, aren't all of these the same in every place?

Zhuo Qinfeng thought of it and sent a congratulatory message.

He remembered that the news was like this: Congratulations on the rapid development of Pingxiang in the new era, and the days of Pingxiang people are becoming more and more prosperous, just like this salty, spicy, sweet and sour salt fruit.

The customer received it and was very happy.

The customer replied: Similarly, in the new year, I hope that President Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo will be sweet and sweet, such as this salt fruit!

When Zhuo Qinfeng saw this WeChat, the corners of his mouth rose.

At that moment, Tong Xiaoyan was sticking to him, Tong Xiaoyan turned his head and asked, "What are you looking at? It's so funny? It can't be a woman, right?"

Tong Xiaoyan snatched the mobile phone, glanced at it, and the three words "Mrs. Zhuo" came into view, and her face turned red.

Zhuo Qinfeng's past meeting came here, the corners of his mouth rose, and when he returned to reality, he saw Tong Xiaoyan lying on the hospital bed dying, and the long-lost smile on his face was gone.

Zhuo Qinfeng stretched out his hand and stroked her haggard face with excessive blood loss, feeling distressed.

His tears came again.

Zhuo Qinfeng regretted it, if he knew that such a thing happened, Zhuo Qinfeng thought that he would not leave her if he was killed.

He guarded her, Tong Yue didn't go in to disturb, she sat outside, and Sadako was together. The two of them didn't say a word, but they both knew what they wanted to say.

Tong Yue has been listening, Zhuo Qinfeng has been reminiscing about the past of the two of them with Tong Xiaoyan.

However, Tong Xiaoyan still didn't wake up.

Then, only Zhuo Qinfeng's cry was heard.

Tong Yue shook her head and got up, let's do her.

She wanted to tell Tong Xiaoyan about some of her favorite things in the past.

Tong Yue came to the ward, sat down slowly, and looked at Tong Xiaoyan who was dying, her eyes were a little red and swollen.

Tong Yue didn't know that Tong Xiaoyan's falling out of love would have such serious consequences.

She wept and spoke.

Tong Yue looked at her distressedly and said: "Xiao Yan, do you remember? That time, our family went to a friend's house for the New Year, and they said that for the sake of Tujili, begging for the lottery, looking forward to the coming year, the New Year, removing the old and welcoming the new, is the customs of Pingxiang people since ancient times, passed down from generation to generation. ”

Tong Yue paused, and then said: "In fact, my family is no exception, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar, our whole family, take off the down jacket, put on a blue cleaning suit that is easy to move, clean inside and out, clean the kitchen utensils and home at 36 degrees without dead ends, thoroughly dismantle and dry the curtains and bedding, etc., in short, prepare for a refreshing New Year." ”

Then she smiled bitterly, she thought, Tong Xiaoyan won't do anything, she won't do anything.

From childhood to adulthood, Tong Yue treated her like a baby and never let her do anything.

Tong Yue shed tears, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Do you remember? They were spotless and vibrant outside the house, and our whole family took action and began to decorate the New Year's home." ”

Then Tong Yue recalled that the country father was responsible for writing the Spring Festival couplets and "Fu", in fact, these can be bought, and the country father said that he wrote more New Year's flavor.

"Xiao Yan, do you remember, that time, I was responsible for pasting New Year's pictures on the gate, on both sides of the gate, pasting the Spring Festival couplets up and down, pasting the Spring Festival couplets on the top of the gate, and finally pasting the word "Fu" written by my father upside down on every door, including the gate, the door, etc. You're ......."

Tong Yue said here, looking at Tong Xiaoyan, there was no reaction at all.

What's wrong with her?

Why not wake up?

Tong Yue recalled, remembering that at that time, Tong Xiaoyan was very happy, "Xiaoyan, do you remember, you were clamoring for fireworks at that time?"

Tong Xiaoyan still did not answer, Tong Yue did not give up, and then said: "You should remember, you speak, Chinese New Year's Eve, this year can not set off firecrackers, our family reunion to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, keep the year until late at night, before going to sleep." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, get up, change into red clothes, and tie a red scarf. ”

Speaking of this, Tong Yue's heart was very uncomfortable.

Even if you work hard, can't you wake up Tong Xiaoyan?

"Xiao Yan, you know what. At that time, the country dad also explained, he said, because Pingxiang is non-smoking this year, so my dad thought of a trick, turned the sound of the audio equipment to the maximum, played the music of firecrackers, and on the TV screen, the screen was full of broken red, bright as red brocade. ”

These are very deep memories, Tong Yue remembers them very clearly.

But why didn't Tong Xiaoyan wake up?

Tong Yue still remembers the conversation between the country father and her daughter at that time!

The daughter asked curiously, why is everything red during the New Year?

Dad said that the people of Pingxiang want to be full of prosperity and hope that life will be prosperous.

The daughter was very naïve and said, isn't that superstition?

Dad said that these are not superstitions, it is a kind of custom in Pingxiang, and the father also patiently explained to his daughter that every household had a stove in their time, so they needed to send the stove god.

Kitchen god?

Tong Yue remembered very well that Tong Xiaoyan at that time asked rhetorically.

Then Tong Yue also felt strange, she asked her country father.

The country dad explained: There is a classic among the people of Pingxiang: "Jun San Min Four".

Tong Yue remembered that Tong Xiaoyan asked, what does it mean? "Jun" is as the name suggests, an official, and "three" is to send the god of the stove on the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, of course, we ordinary people are to send the god of the stove on the 24th day of the lunar calendar.

At that time, the country father patiently explained to Tong Yue and Tong Xiaoyan

Dad said that he remembered that when he was young, on the 24th day of the lunar calendar, he sent the god of the stove with his family and invited the king of the stove.

Tong Yue remembered that her daughter listened with interest, tilted her head and asked curiously, "What does the Lord of the Stove look like?"

Dad was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he said, the stove is a painting, the painting is an old man like a person, the painting on the chimney, the soul of the stove king can go up to the west along the chimney, please God bless the family with peace, health, happiness and happiness. After the New Year, I invited the king of the stove in the west to come back.

It's so interesting! There is such an interesting New Year's custom.

At that time, Tong Xiaoyan screamed, so naïve, I remember that at that time, Tong Xiaoyan was only in middle school

The country dad said that among the customs of the year, the most exciting thing for children is, of course, the New Year's money.

Who doesn't like this thing?

Tong Yue recalled that Tong Xiaoyan also mischievously answered at that time,

Tong Yue knows that there are two sources of money: first, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the elders give red envelopes; second, when relatives visit relatives and friends in the first month, relatives give red envelopes.

Tong Yue continued to count, she hoped that Tong Xiaoyan would wake up suddenly when she heard this Dongxu, who she was most interested in at that time.

But Tong Xiaoyan still lay still, she didn't react at all,

Tong Yue cried, touched a handful of tears, and continued: "I don't go out on the first day of the first month, I don't forget to splash dirty water outside, every family rests, no one works on this day, but who cooks? Every year, the family watched TV around the fire, but my mother was busy cooking...... Nowadays, it's just a matter of doing it yourself. ”

Speaking of this, Tong Yue's heart felt stabbed.

Mother?

Her biological mother is gone, and Tong Xiaoyan's mother is also gone, so Tong Yue immediately stopped mentioning this.

She felt that there were some things that could not be recalled.

Tong Yue changed the topic, and then said: "Xiao Yan, do you remember? On the second day of junior high school, our whole family went to my aunt's house together, and it was very common for our daughter to receive red envelopes. ”

"Knock knock knock ......"

Suddenly, a pleasant sound of gongs entered the stove.

Everyone was stunned, Pingxiang Spring Gong has arrived!

Then with a smile on his face, he was overjoyed, and ran out happily, came to the living room, and saw the singer who sent the spring gong at a glance.

At that time, Tong Yue remembered that Tong Xiaoyan screamed loudly.
