Chapter 172 It’s New Year

After watching the fireworks, Li Luyou and An Nanxiu took the bus to get off the Western restaurant. The two found a seat and asked for two glasses of soda, waiting for Li Banzhuang to get off work.

After changing his clothes, Li Banzhuang saw his brother and An Nanxiu in the corner. He was surprised and happily went home together. He heard that the child had already been sent back in advance. He felt a little regretful. An Nanxiu took Li Luyou's cell phone to show Li Banzhuang. Li Luyou saw that when An Nanxiu took a secret photo for him, and whether there were any people wearing clothes were wearing clothes.

Li Luyou was a little embarrassed because Li Banzhuang looked at him and laughed. He didn't realize that this child seemed to be a bit like his brother.

Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang both ended their winter vacation working days and were waiting for the New Year.

Although the house is rented, the lease period is very long and the layout is very home-like. The newly purchased second-hand home appliances have also improved the quality of life. Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang decided to get rid of their old habits and stop going to their old houses to celebrate the New Year. This year, they will celebrate the New Year in the city.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the Li brothers and sisters got up early and called An Nanxiu to wake up. An Nanxiu found that she was not even seven o'clock and was angry in a depressed manner: "What are you doing? The weather is so cold and it's so comfortable in the quilt. I'm going to sleep until nine o'clock!"

"Today's New Year, there are many things to do, and you need to help." Li Luyou divided the eggs into the bowl of three people, and his movements were much faster than usual, as if he was infected by the atmosphere during the New Year.

"What does the New Year mean?" An Nanxiu didn't have this concept.

"You don't know this? It turns out that I am extremely amnesia... Oh, you may be a foreigner..." Li Banzhuang sympathized with An Nanxiu, "The New Year is the biggest festival in China, the most important day of the year. The whole family gathered together to celebrate the peaceful life of the year and pray for a happy day for the coming year."

An Nanxiu frowned and was bored.

"Today is the last day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is the first day of the lunar new year. That's it. We practice two calendars coexisting. The Gregorian calendar is the time for the school sports meeting competition. "Li Luyou knows how to explain it to An Nanxiu.

"Oh, two calendars, this is good, it is conducive to recording important dates in history. Many ancient documents often only follow the date records of one calendar, and the real date is difficult to determine." An Nanxiu nodded.

"Anyway, today is a day worth celebrating. We have to do a lot of things. After breakfast, we have to go shopping for vegetables. We prepare for the reunion dinner tonight, and we also buy firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, candy, etc.." Li Banzhuang took out a list, which said what to buy today. She wrote a list, and her brother also wrote one. Finally, she decided to buy what to buy and how much to buy.

While having breakfast, Li Luyou merged the two lists: "Plums will still save money, but our income has increased significantly this year, so I decided to upgrade the grapes to nuts, replace the bear biscuits with bulk Dove chocolate, and have melon seeds, pine nuts and mawaiian nuts, buy a few more bottles of drinks, besides cola, orange juice, and buy a bottle of nutrition express line... Well, there is also beer?"

"Brother, drink it once a year." Li Banzhuang looked at Li Luyou pitifully.

"It's not OK to drink it once in ten years." Li Luyou firmly crossed out the three-yuan can of beer that Li Banzhuang had opened.

"I want to write a list too." Seeing that Li Banzhuang and Li Luyou both opened orders for buying things, An Nanxiu felt unfair.

"You can open it. Today is the Chinese New Year, and all your wishes should be fulfilled as much as possible." Li Luyou still likes these traditional customs.

An Nanxiu took the paper and pen to start writing. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to buy a recipe.

"What are you doing when buying recipes? Want to learn how to cook?" Li Luyou was very surprised.

"In the future, I will order the recipe and you can make it for me." An Nanxiu threw away the paper and pen. There was really nothing in this world that she especially wanted, and explained to Li Luyou: "In this way, I will not let you take me to the restaurant for something delicious in the future."

"Hey, I really have a princess." Li Banzhuang sighed and looked at An Nanxiu indignantly: "An Nanxiu, you must marry my brother in the future, otherwise he will be too disadvantageous if he is busy taking care of you."

"Why don't you marry him?" An Nanxiu blushed and glared at Li Banzhuang.

"He doesn't want me." Li Banzhuang glanced at his brother and snorted softly.

Li Luyou gently tapped her head. Did she learn from An Nanxiu? His speech became more and more messy.

"So you want to marry your brother, Li Banzhuang, you have completely broken down. Don't you know that in your world, brothers and sisters are forbidden to mate?" An Nanxiu quickly pulled the topic to Li Banzhuang, so she didn't want to talk about the topic of marrying Li Luyou. An Nanxiu had never thought about that kind of thing. It was too terrible. Marrying Li Luyou means that he would do abnormal things to An Nanxiu every day.

"Speaking so badly..." Li Banzhuang blushed when she was fucked. An Nanxiu didn't speak like a normal person. She always treats others as animals.

"Shut up and talk nonsense. You two will stay at home today and won't take you out." Li Luyou couldn't listen anymore. Li Banzhuang and An Nanxiu couldn't be harmonious with each other. However, if An Zhishui still had an impression that the atmosphere would be much better, and the three girls wouldn't be able to argue together.

An Nanxiu and Li Banzhuang looked at each other and stopped talking. Without Li Luyou, they were both staying at home without any intention.

After breakfast, Li Luyou looked at the warm dress of the two girls and went downstairs together.

Li Luyou looked at the sky, which was gloomy, but it didn't look like it could snow. Although there were always experts and weather forecasts to remind everyone to pay attention to the rain and snow weather this winter, most of the winter has passed, and when the little tail is left, there is no snow, and there is no sleet.

Even on New Year's Eve, the streets are still very lively. Most shops have to wait until the afternoon to close, and very few will not close the entire Spring Festival.

There were too many people and too many cars, and there was no advantage in even electric cars, so the three of them decided to walk to Walmart.

The things Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang want to buy are relatively scattered small things, such as new clothes have been signed for online shopping, and you can wear new clothes when you wake up tomorrow morning.

When I came to Wal-Mart, I started buying snacks prepared during the Spring Festival. Although Li Luyou was sure that there was no one in his family, the three of them would consume a lot of money at home. When I was a child, I could only watch other people's children eat a lot of snacks that I and my sister could only watch. Li Luyou felt very happy.

Li Luyou is a very easy-to-satisfied person. He doesn’t have so many ambitions. As long as he lives better now than before, he will be very happy.

After buying things, Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang pushed the shopping cart to the library to look for An Nanxiu. She stood in front of the tall bookshelf wearing a hat with a braid, holding several recipes in her hand. Seeing that Li Luyou came over, she threw the recipes into the shopping cart.

"Do you think I can be the chef of Manhan Chef?" Li Luyou flipped through the recipe and it turned out to be a series of recipe books, with all eight major cuisines.

"You can learn it, isn't it easy? No matter what dish you cook, you just throw the ingredients into the pot and stir it." An Nanxiu said indifferently.

"A person who only knows how to cook and fry two eggs can even say such words." Li Banzhuang sighed.

"It is precisely because I can make this that I can say this, because I just mix these things and stir them, so other things should be, no difference." An Nanxiu felt that as long as he could cook one dish, all dishes would be almost done, not to mention the recipe.

Li Banzhuang and An Nanxiu argued again because of this matter. Li Luyou ignored them and pushed the shopping cart to check out with an expressionless face. Then the two girls quickly ended the argument and ran over.

Leaving Wal-Mart and coming to the street, I felt the not very strong New Year atmosphere again. Li Luyou felt that this was probably the case for people. When I was a child, I always thought that the New Year was more interesting. When I grew up, I became less particular. The New Year was commercialized. The discount at the end of the year was still continuing. Red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets on the street were everywhere, but I couldn’t see the festive celebration of the New Year on people’s faces. Most people were waiting for the arrival of this festival expressionlessly.

Li Luyou and the other two were still quite happy. The community was much bustling. Many people went home for the New Year. There were also children setting off some small fireworks and firecrackers in the community. Those who were a little older had gone to the Internet cafe. It is said that the memories of the post-80s generation during their childhood in the 1980s generation during their childhood in the 1990s were candy and firecrackers, while the memories of the post-90s generation during their childhood in the Internet cafe were only the Internet cafe.

When she returned home, Li Banzhuang was tidying up her things. In addition to fighting with An Nanxiu, she always consciously did the job of the hostess of this little family, and did many trivial things well, putting snacks and candies on the plate, and putting all kinds of cured flavours and fresh chicken and beef in the refrigerator.

Li Luyou posted Spring Festival couplets, which he wrote by himself. He felt that the exquisitely made Spring Festival couplets on the street had no meaning at all. Only those who wrote by himself were meaningful. Anyway, the price of buying a bottle of ink, brush and red paper is actually lower than a better Spring Festival couplet.

Then there was cleaning, which was something every household would do. An Nanxiu locked himself in the room, waiting for Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang to finish cleaning the living room and Li Banzhuang's room, An Nanxiu waited for Li Luyou to clean his room.

This made me busy all day. After a sumptuous evening, Li Luyou turned on his computer and hung up the phone, and then sat in front of the TV with Li Banzhuang and An Nanxiu waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

This is also a habit. Before Li Luyou picked up the first TV, Li Luyou and Li Banzhuang didn’t even have many opportunities to watch TV. Now there are large LED color TVs that look like half a wall. Of course, you have to watch the high-definition Spring Festival Gala... Although I feel that it may be better to go online to find a few funny videos to watch it happily.

"Well, as a parent, I want to give you New Year's money." Li Luyou took out a red envelope and handed it to An Nanxiu: "This is yours."

An Nanxiu took it out and saw how much it cost, it was 800 yuan. She didn't care much and put it casually in the small pocket in front of her clothes.

"This is for Li Zi." Li Luyou stuffed the red envelope to Li Banzhuang: "Brother can finally give you a decent red envelope."
