Moon white

Cen Sen was in a meeting this morning, and will continue in the afternoon. He took advantage of the lunch time to chat with Li Yuebai on WeChat, "How did you get it done?"

Li Yuebai was still waiting for someone in the car, his mother and his third aunt would call him every other time and ask him to bring over the things they bought, the two of them bought new year's goods, especially for shopping.

"It's quite simple to pretend to be weird and stingy."

Cen Sen: "I have a meeting in the afternoon. I'm going to Melbourne tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve when I come back from a business trip. It's the last busy year of the year." After explaining, he asked, "Has your sore throat healed yet?"

Li Yuebai: "Okay." He remembered that he saw someone showing affection in Moments just now, and looked through the calendar and found that February 2th is Valentine's Day, so he sent a red envelope of 14 to Cen Sen, "Happy Holidays!"

Cen Sen stared at the numbers on the red envelope and smiled slightly, "Is it the first Valentine's Day to give out red envelopes? It's too perfunctory."

Li Yuebai also felt a little guilty. Not only did he not prepare a gift on the first Valentine's Day, he didn't accompany him, he was still on a blind date, "I'll make it up for you after the new year."

Cen Sen put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth, picked up his cell phone and dialed it, not mentioning the topic just now, "I was eating just now, what did you have for lunch?"

Li Yuebai: "I haven't eaten yet, my mother and the others are still shopping, so I should eat noodles on the street later."

The two chatted for a while, and Cen Sen took the elevator upstairs. When he arrived at the office, he saw Xiao Zhao looking for him with a folder, so he hung up the phone to deal with business.

That night, Li Yuebai's third aunt called and said that the woman didn't like him, and at the same time advised him not to be discouraged. Girls nowadays are all picky. If this doesn't work, let's go to the next one and let him prepare for the next day's blind date.

There are four cousins ​​in Li Yuebai's generation, he is the second, the fourth cousin who picked him up that day, the third is working out of town, and just came back today, he called and said he was in town, let them pick him up Li Yuebai didn't want to listen to his mother nagging at home, so he grabbed the pick-up job, took the key and left, the little cousin followed him out the door.

Li Yuebai drove his father's van, the steering wheel was very heavy, he pulled the steering wheel vigorously and started on the road, the car only had two seats for the driver and the co-driver, two people went to pick up people, and three people would not be enough to sit when they came back.The little cousin didn't remember this incident until she got in the car, "Where is the third brother sitting?"

Li Yuebai thought for a while, then laughed, "Let your third brother squat in the carriage."

The little cousin laughed, "By the way, second brother, why didn't you go on a blind date today?"

Li Yuebai thought he might as well come out to his cousin first, he couldn't tell his parents, the cousins ​​could still tell, and said, "Actually, I have a date."

The little cousin was taken aback, "Huh?"

Li Yuebai pointed to the phone with his chin, "There is a picture of him in it, do you think he is handsome?"

The little cousin's eyes widened in shock, "Boyfriend?"

Li Yuebai smiled and nodded: "En."

The little cousin quickly grabbed the phone, Li Yuebai reported the password, the little cousin unlocked and clicked on the photo album, and quickly swipe through the photos while digesting the sudden news, "Handsome is pretty handsome, no, you are really crooked ?”

Li Yuebai smiled, "It's so winding."

The little cousin held the phone with a dazed look, "Second aunt doesn't know yet, right?"

Li Yuebai: "Yeah, I dare not say it, they will definitely not accept it, and he also advised me not to say it."

The little cousin nodded, "I know how to think about you, what about him? Has he come out to the family?"

Li Yuebai: "It's gone, his family members know about it, and his younger brother introduced him to a partner in a particularly stupid way."

The little cousin smiled, "Then does he know about your blind date at home?"

Li Yuebai: "I know, I still called at noon."

The little cousin asked a lot of questions, and Li Yuebai answered them one by one. Sharing and confessing made him relax and happy, and the depression aroused by the blind date in the past two days also eased a little.

In the end, Li Yuebai said to the little cousin, you can tell the eldest cousin, and the boss can also talk to the third child, but the fourth child may not be able to change his mind, so let's not tell him for now.

The next day's blind date also ended in failure, of course, Li Yuebai couldn't continue to use yesterday's method, there was nothing wrong with the supermarket, the woman stayed to have lunch with them, Li's mother was full of joy, but during the dinner, Li Yuebai was dull and blank, I don't know how to add tea and water for people, and I have to ask his mother for advice on everything. From time to time, he takes out his mobile phone and fiddles with it for a while. In this case, there will be no play in the future.

Li's mother and Li Yuebai's aunt hated iron for being weak, and they scolded him together, from the rules at the dinner table to dealing with others and how to behave in the world, they talked endlessly. Just making jokes, and finally exposed this one.

In the blink of an eye, at the age of 29, Li Yuebai met another one earlier, but he still had little hope. His mother told him to send messages to other girls every day. He promised, but all the messages were sent to Cen Sen, "I will post them later. couplet."

Cen Sen just came back from a business trip the night before, and he is still in bed, "So early? We all post it in the afternoon." His mother just called to ask him when he will be there. The couplets are all cut and waiting for him to post them.

Li Yuebai: "Well, I have to go to the grave this afternoon."

Cen Sen: "What are you doing?"

Li Yuebai: "Burning paper money for the ancestors, this is the custom here."

Cen Sen expressed his understanding, Li Yuebai just wanted to chat a few more words, Li's mother came out with the burnt paste and asked him to move the ladder.

The cousin came to help, he helped Li Yuebai climb up the ladder to paste, the two finished pasting at Li Yuebai's house, and then went to his cousin's house to paste, and they didn't finish their work until noon.

At noon, Ms. Li cooked fish to take the mouthwatering food that was more than a year old. However, she was in a hurry for lunch, because after eating, she had to prepare dumplings for New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, as well as things to go to the grave.The way of making dumplings in Li Yuebai's hometown is different from other places. The dumplings made here are trapezoidal in shape. They are rolled and then folded in half and pinched together. There is no need for round ones. He knows how to make dumplings. Help me. After a while, I went to the grave with paper money, firecrackers and a few dishes prepared by my mother.

First, I burned paper money and fired cannons for a few ancestors who didn’t know what to call them, and finally burned it for his grandma. The cemetery is on the river beach. After winter, there is not much rain, and there is only a thin clear stream meandering in the old river ditch. Next, the weather is cold, the water is very clear, and you can see the snails lying on the rocks. No one wants snails here, only the palm-sized river clams are caught and smashed open to feed the ducks.There are barren grass and soil slopes beside the river, and a lot of grass has been burned, leaving only a layer of blackened grass roots. Cremation was implemented in the local area in the early years, but it can be saved without spending money. Many elderly people are afraid of being burned, so they rush to Spending money to buy a living corpse, his grandma didn't burn it.

It was still early, and there was no one in the river beach. Li Yuebai set out the dishes, and slowly unfolded the thick stack of yellow paper, twisting the edges into a fan, which was easy to ignite. Then, watching the fire paper slowly burn, he turned on the phone video.

Cen Sen rushed to his parents' house at noon, and Cen Miao was also there at the moment. The two brothers posted the couplets. Cen Miao was watching TV and chatting with Cen's mother in the living room, while he was sitting far away reading a book, with his mobile phone in the living room. On the armrest of the small sofa, seeing a request for a video call, he turned the book upside down and went to the study with his mobile phone.

"I'll show you my grandma's grave." Li Yuebai stood up, pointed the camera at the bulging mound beside him, and then showed Cen Sen the surrounding environment.

He turned so fast that Cen Sen couldn't see clearly, so he asked for confirmation, "Is there a river next to it? The environment is pretty good."

Li Yuebai: "Well, it's a river. I used to catch fish here when I was young. What are you doing?"

Cen Sen: "I just finished posting couplets. I'm bored. I'm reading a book."

Li Yuebai: "Auntie and the others?"

Cen Sen leaned forward and glanced into the living room, and said to Li Yuebai: "My mother is asking when my brother is going to get married, saying that my aunt's daughter-in-law is going to have a second child soon, and she shows off to her all day long. She hasn't hugged any of them yet."

Li Yuebai laughed, "You have no hope, so I can only urge your brother." He thought to himself, if he has a biological brother who wants to come out, will his parents be more accepting?

Cen Sen also laughed, "That's right, my dad went down for a walk, and the old man said that there might be snow at night, so he should walk the bend in advance, and now he lives a very healthy life."

Li Yuebai recalled the scene when he saw Cen Sen helping his father get out of the car at school, "Is there something wrong with uncle's legs?"

Cen Sen: "That's right, so I have to go down for a walk every day. How do you know?"

Li Yuebai smiled, "I knew about it a long time ago, because he is a teacher in our school."

Cen Sen was surprised and said, "You knew my dad when you were in school? But you are not a student in their school, and besides, he was already on sick leave at that time."

Li Yuebai explained: "In the second semester of my senior year, when I passed the administrative building, I saw you helping him out of the car, so it was the second time I saw you in that bar that year."

Cen Sen felt amazing, "Really?"

Li Yuebai: "Of course it's true, otherwise would I go with you?"

Cen Sen: "Then you still say that black short-sleeved looks very exciting?"

Li Yuebai laughed, "You can believe me if I'm kidding, I was going to sneak away, but when I saw you sitting there instead, I went back."

Cen Sen's tail turned up a little, and he asked triumphantly, "Did you like me then?"

Li Yuebai: "Well, you look good."

Cen Sen said depressedly, "Just because it looks good?"

Li Yuebai smiled, "In my cousin's words, Yan Kong's feelings are also very sincere and touching."

Cen Sen was speechless.

Li Yuebai said again: "Are you setting off fireworks at night?"

Cen Sen: "The city won't let it go."

Li Yuebai happily said: "No one cares about us, just let it go. I bought a lot of fireworks, so I'll show it to you at night."

Cen Sen: "Okay, I'll wait."

In the living room, Cen's mother saw that he hadn't come out after chatting for so long, so she couldn't help but came over and asked, "Are you making a video with Xiao Li? Let me watch it too."

Cen Sen turned around and said to his mother, "Mom, you didn't look in the mirror after lunch, did you? The makeup you put on this morning is all gone, hurry up and fix it."

After Cen's mother went out, Cen Sen took the phone away and said to Li Yuebai in the video: "My mother, I sent you away."

Li Yuebai saw that the paper money had been burned, and his cousin over there also brought a bag of paper money to burn, got up and said to Cen Sen: "I won't tell you now, I set off the firecrackers and it's time to go back."

"Well, be careful."

"Okay, I'll let you hear the ring before I hang up." He put the phone in his pocket, took out the lighter, bent down and lit the fuse of the firecracker.

Cen Sen was staring at the pitch-black screen of the phone, listening to the sound of crackling firecrackers coming from the phone, the hesitation that had settled in his eyes just now slowly dissipated, and there was one thing that lingered in his mind for a long time, at this moment he finally made up his mind Confess to Li Yuebai.
