Chapter 990
The fragrance came from Lao Wu's house. The door of Lao Wu's neighbor opened, a small head poked out from it, and blinked his eyes and looked at Lao Wu's house.
Wang Lang walked into Lao Wu's house.
The room was just in the bricks and built a simple stove. A pot was built on it. The pot was soaked and rolled. Lao Wu was holding a colander that he got from somewhere.
"Sit quickly and sit quickly." Old Wu greeted Wang Lang and asked Wang Lang to sit quickly.
Wang Lang stretched his neck into the pot and looked at it, it turned out to be dumplings.
"Old Wu, where did it?" Wang Lang said curiously.
Old Wu grinned and fiddled with a colander on the bottom of the pot, "I wrapped it myself."
"What day are you going to eat dumplings today?" Wang Lang came over and said, "Have you found the old lady?"
Old Wu grinned, "What a good old person? I'll calculate the day. Our hometown is in the New Year. In the past year, I was alone, so I can do whatever I want. This year, you two are here, so I'll make some dumplings together, and have a meal of dumplings for the New Year."
Wang Lang's smile froze on his face, and then he smiled.
It hasn't been for many years, and I'm almost forgetting what the New Year is like. Wang Lang's impression of the New Year only exists before he was kicked out of the country by Huangfu Ji. At that time, he gathered on the same table with his brothers. The master's wife would make a table of delicious food. As long as the master Huangfu Ji spoke, she could eat it. After the meal, the master's wife would give each person a big red envelope.
Huangfu Ji will not be angry if he does not do anything that is harmful to the world during the Chinese New Year.
So many years have passed in a flash.
When I was a child, I felt like there was no end, just like there was no end. When I became an adult, I felt that the day was gone in just a while, and the days were getting worse and less and less.
The sudden word "New Year" made Wang Lang feel in a daze.
Lei Huaer stared blankly at the rolling soup in the pot, not knowing what he was thinking.
Old Wu put a dumpling and handed it to Lei Huaer, "Your Majesty, have you taste it or not."
Who knew that Lei Huaer put the dumplings face north and placed them on the ground.
"This..." Old Wu was stunned.
Lei Huaer picked up another one from the pot by himself and was not afraid of burning it and stuffed it into her mouth.
Lao Wu reached out to pick up the dumplings thrown by thunder flowers on the ground.
"Today is my mother's birthday." Lei Huaer whispered softly.
Lao Wu's hand picking up dumplings stopped.
Several people have known each other for a long time, so Lao Wu naturally knew that Lei Huaer did not have a mother.
After finding a clean cardboard, Lao Wu wiped the soil on the dumplings, placed the dumplings on the cardboard, turned around and searched for a cup, sprinkled some tea leaves inside, put a piece of rock candy, brewed a cup of sugar tea, and searched for a long time to find a few fragrant pieces.
I put the candy tea on the cardboard and pounded a nest on the ground.
Old Wu turned his head to look at Lei Huaer, "Yan... Lei Zi, I'll wish your mother a New Year."
Lei Huaer froze all over and turned her head to look over there. Her eyes behind her sunglasses turned red in an instant, and she slowly walked towards Lao Wu.
He reached out to take three incense sticks.
Lei Huaer knelt on the ground, facing north, lit the incense, poured the sugar tea on the ground, and inserted the incense into the nest that was pounded out on the ground.
"Mom." Lei Huaer called out softly and kowtowed heavily.
With his head on the ground, Lei Huaer's body trembled slightly.
A man has tears, but he doesn't let him laugh easily, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
After a while, Lei Huaer stood up and turned around and sat by the pot.
Old Wu scratched his head and tidied up his clothes and hairstyle in a funny way. He held three incense sticks in his hand and knelt down facing north.
Lighting the incense and inserting it into the nest on the ground, Old Wu hugged in his nose for a long time, and finally laughed out loud, "I wish you a New Year to the elders of Jiangdong."
Dong!
Old Wu kowtowed.
After thinking about it, Old Wu said again, "I wish you a New Year to my parents who have never enjoyed my life and I don't know when I will die. My son is unfilial. If there is an in the next life, I will not be your children, you will be your cows, or you will be your horse."
Dong!
Old Wu kowtowed again.
After pondering for a while, Old Wu lowered his head and smiled mockingly. With a thud, Old Wu kowtowed again.
"Son, I wish you a New Year to my parents."
When I got up, I wiped my hands casually on my eyes.
When he turned around, he saw Wang Lang standing next to him. Old Wu slapped his head, "Oh, there is also Dragon Prince, you wait, it's gone, I'll look for you again, and you'll wish you a New Year."
Wang Lang lit a cigarette, "No need."
Take the cigarette from your mouth, insert it next to the incense, and use the cigarette as the incense.
"Are there any wine?" Wang Lang turned his head to look at Lao Wu.
"Yes, yes." Old Wu brought a small jar of wine and handed it to Wang Lang.
Wang Lang patted Kaifeng mud, faced north, and poured wine.
Respect the heroes and martyrs, respect our loyalty and righteousness, and respect our prosperous descendants.
Wang Lang bowed and bowed for a long time.
The Black Dragon King Wang Lang greeted the ancestors of Longmen.
Wang Lang stood up, and Lao Wu grinned, "Eat dumplings, eat dumplings."
The three of them gathered together to eat dumplings.
The meat was bought by Lao Wu, the noodles were rolled by Lao Wu, and the dumplings were also made by Lao Wu. I was happy like never before, and asked Wang Lang and Lei Huaer from time to time if it was delicious.
As I was eating, a head came into the door, blinked and looked at the three people who were eating voraciously in the room, and their saliva could not be stopped.
Old Wu stood up, served a few dumplings, and brought them to the child at the door, "Take it and eat it. I usually eat a lot of your house. Come again if there is not enough."
After sitting back, Lei Huaer looked up at Lao Wu, "Old Wu, aren't you going back?"
Old Wu waved his hand, "If you don't go back, you won't have a home when you go back, so why not continue wandering outside? I have thought about it. The Dragon Prince gave me a lot of money a few days ago. I was going to go out for a walk. I suddenly figured it out. People live for a lifetime, only one life, why not live for a lifetime? I am alone, without so many ties, and I will go wherever I want to go, and live forever."
Wang Lang gave Lao Wu a cigarette after he finished eating. Lao Wu pulled out a fire stick from under the stove to light the cigarette.
"Old Wu is enlightened." Wang Lang smiled.
Old Wu lowered his head and smiled, and suddenly looked at the cigarette between his fingers, "What kind of cigarette is this? I haven't smoked it yet."
"I don't know, it's made by the dead." Wang Lang said casually.
"I won't say I'm going to die during the New Year." Old Wu said seriously.
Wang Lang was amused by Lao Wu's appearance.
After smoking a cigarette, Old Wu got up and smiled and took out a new piece of clothing from his pile of broken bedding and put on it.
Wang Lang and Lei Huaer couldn't help laughing when they looked at Lao Wu. It was not a ridicule, but a joke between friends.
Old Wu touched his pocket, and some parts, "Dragon Prince, Prince Hell, I, Old Wu, is almost sixty this year. I am the elder of you two. I am happy today. I have a red envelope for each of you two. I know you are not short of money, but I have no brothers for the New Year, and I am also a childless person. I am very happy to be with you two. This red envelope..."
Lao Wu is very partial and has become a little incoherent.
Wang Lang directly brought the red envelope and grinned, "Uncle Wu is so arrogant."
Lei Huaer also took the red envelope, and was affected by Wang Lang and changed a little. He grinned at Old Wu, "Uncle Wu is so proud."
