The house was neat and clean, and they didn't need to be busy cleaning, so the two of them went around inside and out, and then went to the town's market to shop.

I bought Spring Festival couplets and window flowers, as well as many fireworks, all of which were prepared for the New Year

Murong Cheng saw that there were kerosene lamps selling in the bazaar, he thought it was fresh, so he bought two, and when he saw a handmade cloth shoes, he thought it was interesting, and he also bought a few pairs of them according to his own size.

He squatted in front of the stall and carefully selected the appearance, meticulous, rare cute, like a big boy.

Mu Zi looked at him and felt that there was no good thing at the moment.

They bought a lot of things and went home, pasted window flowers together, and pasted Spring Festival couplets after pasting window flowers.

The Spring Festival couplets are not pasted, the transparent tape is not sticky on the rough cement wall, and it happens that the neighbor next door is also pasting, Mu Zi asked the neighbor's aunt for some paste, and the aunt knew that their young couple had just moved over, and they were very hospitable, and sent peanuts and chestnuts to them to eat.

The late meal is hot pot, which is the safest dinner for two people with limited cooking skills.

After eating, Mu Zi and Murong Cheng lazily huddled in the quilt, snuggled up to each other, peeling peanuts and chestnuts to eat.

The old house had no heating or air conditioning, and there was a charcoal stove burning in the house, and leftover peanut and chestnut shells were thrown into it, crackling and crisp, with the slightest aroma of fruit shells.

Mu Zi looked at the flickering firelight and returned to her childhood in a trance.

She told Murong Cheng an interesting story about her childhood, when she was a Chinese New Year, she loved to bake everything, sweet potatoes, taro, beans, oranges, bananas......

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

I don't know if she said too much food and was panicked, she really dreamed that there were two roasted corns lying on the stove, fragrant and steaming.

She reached for it.

Grandma stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "Gluttonous cat, beware of the hot!" ”

She looked up at her grandmother, still in her memory, dressed in a blue-gray cotton jacket, wearing floral cotton sleeves, her hair neatly combed, a decent and capable old woman.

Grandma grabbed her, looked down, and saw that her shoes were a little wet, and immediately put on a straight face and said, "Went to the river to play again?" How many times have you said it, Zizi, you have to be obedient! Get away from the water! ”

She remembered that there was a blind fortune teller in the town in the past, who said that she had a water catastrophe in her life, and she would suffer at least and lose her life at worst.

My grandmother was very superstitious, and since then she has not been allowed to go to the river, and water parks and swimming pools have always been avoided.

Grandma babbled a lot, but she was like an ignorant child, her eyes were always fixed on the corn in the stove, and she couldn't listen to half a sentence.

When Grandma was finally gone, she couldn't wait to pick up the corn from the stove and open her mouth to nibble.

When she picked it up from the stove, it should be very hot, but in her dream she didn't feel hot, and she gnawed on it with relish.

was gnawing, suddenly felt someone next to her dragging her, looked down, but saw that there was a child next to her, about two years old, looking at her.

"Do you want to eat it too?" She asked.

The child does not speak.

She pulled a few corn kernels out of her hand and fed them to the child's mouth.

The child chewed as if he was chewing hard.

She couldn't help but worry, "Do you have teeth?" Can you eat corn? ”

The child is engrossed and still chewing hard.

She was anxious: "You speak! Do you have any teeth? ”

At this time, the child grinned and shouted, "Mom! ”

In the dream, she was so startled that she suddenly sat up from the bed and was awakened by fright!

Murong Cheng also woke up immediately, stroked her back, felt a little sweaty, and couldn't help asking, "Have you had a nightmare?" ”

"No, it's not ......" Mu Zi gasped and gradually came to her senses, "It's not a nightmare...... Yes, it was a sudden start......"
