Spring cleaning, making braised food, hanging lanterns, and pasting Spring Festival couplets.
After a busy morning, the little house is now completely transformed.
The balcony door was sparkling clean, letting in unobstructed sunlight that flooded the entire living room. The living room was spotless and tidy, a rich aroma wafted from the pots in the kitchen, and the bathroom was immaculate.
Lanterns hung under the eaves outside the house, and Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the door. Inside, the windowsills, door frames, and other places were decorated with bright red New Year decorations such as the character "福" (fortune) and New Year flowers.
The small house was brighter and cleaner than usual, and it also had a festive atmosphere that seemed to be approaching the Lunar New Year.
Even the heat-resistant mat on the small table has been changed to a red one, and on it is a plate of crispy corn candy that no one wants to eat, but is still served.
As for food, with Gou Yu absent, the hut suddenly lacked someone to cook, so everyone had to fend for themselves for the day.
Fortunately, there was another chef in the cabin, and even excluding Tang Bing, Xia Yao, and Fang Xiaoran, Fang Ran could also cook.
Although there are only three options: braised pork ribs, grilled lamb skewers, and instant noodles.
However, when discussing what to do, Meng Lang firmly rejected the suggestion to have Fang Ran do the work because he had suffered too many adverse reactions from eating Fang Ran's food and had developed a strong psychological aversion to it.
In the end, everyone decided that Tang Bing would make the braised pig's trotters.
Tang Bing felt she had been tricked; Fang Ran had kept her around because he wanted her to make braised pig's trotters.
In any case, the group successfully solved the lunch problem while Gou Yu was absent, although it felt a little strange without the usual members.
But in contrast, a new figure arrived at the cabin today.
"So, Lianxin, are you taking a break now? Has the movie promotion ended?"
Beside the small table, Shui Lianxin sat among the girls. Her delicate face, silky flaxen hair, and slender figure wrapped in a creamy white cashmere sweater gave her an everyday look brimming with youthful charm.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, it seems even big stars are enjoying holidays. Upon hearing Mingling's question...
"Yes, all the filming activities are over, and the subsequent publicity has been handed over to the distributor. Now I just need to wait for the release."
Shui Lianxin answered with a crisp laugh, then looked around at the newly renovated limited-edition Lunar New Year cottages, her eyes bright:
"Did everyone tidy up the house today? It looks so different from usual."
"Well, since everyone was relatively free this morning, we decided to do a thorough cleaning."
"Hey, it's fun to do it all together."
Hearing her say that, Xia Yao spoke softly with a smile. The bright little house, after the decorations were cleaned up, became even brighter with the arrival of the exquisite and beautiful girl.
Sitting at the small table, Fang Ran listened to the girls chatting and laughing across from him when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Hey, senior."
Turning his head, Fang Ran saw Tang Bing waving at him furtively from the kitchen, while silently mouthing, "Come here quickly."
Raising a slight brow, wondering what she was up to, Fang Ran glanced at everyone, got up, and went to the kitchen. Then she saw... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context).
Tang Bing took a carton of fruit yogurt from the refrigerator, secretly slipped it into her hand, and whispered:
"Senior, go and give this to them."
Ok?
Hearing this, Fang Ran glanced at the yogurt in his hand. It wasn't anything special; it was just a very common boxed yogurt.
The food was fine, and there was nothing wrong with entertaining the guests, but Fang Ran was really puzzled by Tang Bing's sneaky behavior. He asked in a low voice with a strange look in his eyes:
"Hulu, why don't you go and deliver it yourself?"
"Oh, I was just embarrassed."
Although Shui Lianxin would visit the cottage every few days, Tang Bing's fan mentality seemed to still be there.
Fang Ran was impressed by her devotion to her idol, but knowing Tang Bing as she did, she sensed something was amiss. A hint of suspicion flickered in her eyes.
"Hulu, explain clearly what you want to do, or you can go and deliver it yourself."
Seeing that he had seen through her, Tang Bing had no choice but to awkwardly turn her head and reveal her true intentions:
"I just wanted to see if Shui Lianxin would lick the yogurt lid."
Fang Ran: "."
I just told you you were devout, and yet you were secretly plotting something like this, weren't you?
"Hulu, what strange things are you thinking about all day long?"
Hearing Tang Bing's bizarre scheme, Fang Ran was speechless. Tang Bing, with a silent expression, quietly asked in response:
"Senior, just tell me, do you want to see Shui Lianxin licking the yogurt lid?"
"Well, on another note..."
It's certainly intriguing to wonder if a big star like Shui Lianxin, a seemingly ethereal and sophisticated young woman, might have a contrasting side in her daily life, such as licking yogurt lids.
Driven by this wicked and unspeakable desire, the two in the kitchen hit it off immediately.
Fang Ran then walked back to the living room with a few yogurts, and saw Shui Lianxin smiling and chatting happily with several girls.
He placed the yogurt on the small table, then took one out and placed it in front of the other person, saying with a bright and enthusiastic smile:
"Try this yogurt, I bought it a few days ago, it's pretty good."
"Ah, Fang Ran, thank you."
While Shui Lianxin was talking to Xia Yao and the others about yesterday's filming, she smiled brightly upon hearing this. Then, looking at the boxed yogurt handed to her, she blinked her glassy eyes.
Meanwhile, Fang Ran and Tang Bing were also secretly watching her, curious whether she would, after tearing open the lid, adhere to the principle of not wasting anything and make the adorable gesture of licking it.
Or are you concerned about your image and simply throw the lid off?
At this moment, they were anticipating the former, and then, just as the two were secretly hoping to see the rare sight of a big star licking the yogurt lid,
They heard Shui Lianxin tilt her head slightly and asked curiously without giving it much thought, "Fang Ran, don't you have a straw?"
(°°(°◇°ah)
Come to think of it, these kinds of yogurts do come with straws.
In that instant, Fang Ran suddenly felt the gap between himself and the young lady. He silently went to the kitchen to find a straw, and then saw Tang Bing blushing slightly as she emphasized:
"Um... actually, I usually drink with a straw too."
Stop being stubborn, Hulu, your usual spending habits have already revealed your true colors.
When Fang Ran found the straw and returned to the living room with Tang Bing, he saw Meng Lang tearing open the yogurt lid and licking it.
"Hey bro, you know what, this strawberry flavor is actually pretty good."
Fang Ran held the straw, expressionless.
I saw something I absolutely didn't want to see.
The midday sun shone brightly, and the newly cleaned little house was adorned with festive red accents.
Skipping over the little incident about yogurt, Fang Ran sat back down at the small table. After Shui Lianxin's visit today, he observed the lively atmosphere of the five figures chatting and laughing together.
He couldn't help but think that without Gou Yu, he and Meng Lang, the two boys, were really outnumbered and outmatched.
At this moment, after looking around at the extra decorations in the room, Shui Lianxin's gaze fell on the New Year's flowers decorated with red paper and gold foil.
"Speaking of which, I saw lanterns and Spring Festival couplets outside, as well as these decorations inside the house. Everyone put them up today, and it looks like there's a really festive atmosphere for the New Year."
"Of course, we've been busy all morning."
Although they were mostly just going through the motions, Mingling still answered proudly. Across from her, Fang Xiaoran also brushed a stray hair behind her ear and spoke:
"After all, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and since everyone was cleaning the house today, we decided to decorate it like we did when we were kids."
"When you were little, how did you celebrate the Lunar New Year?"
Upon hearing Fang Xiaoran's words, Shui Lianxin was touched by something in her speech, and a look of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
After asking that question, she raised her voice and looked at Fang Ran:
"Fang Ran, how did you celebrate the New Year when you were a child?"
While putting up Spring Festival couplets, memories were stirred, and then, coincidentally, the question came up. Fang Ran paused for a moment, then, recalling that time, spoke with a somewhat inexplicable tone:
"When I was little, my family and Xiaoran's family would celebrate the New Year together. My dad and Uncle Fang would buy all sorts of things for us, like frozen pears, canned goods, and cases of drinks,"
"My mom and the others were busy in the kitchen cooking, making braised dishes, and steaming rice cakes, while I took Xiaoran to put up Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, and help make dumplings and put coins in them,"
"Then, before eating dumplings at midnight, we'd all bundle up in our padded coats like rice dumplings and go play in the snow at the entrance of the building."
Listening to him describe how his family celebrated the Lunar New Year, I felt a special sense of nostalgia for some reason.
Xia Yao's eyes softened as if she had remembered something:
"My family was similar, but back then every year during Chinese New Year, my dad would help my mom prepare. The two of them would chat and laugh as they made dumplings in the kitchen,"
“Sometimes I want to help, but my dad always tells me to wait for dinner. He says that with his help, my mom and I are enough.”
"I used to help my mom at home, and later, after I learned how to do it myself, she simply let me do some of the things directly."
Following Xia Yao, Tang Bing spoke with a hint of bitterness in her voice, her eyes darkening with a sense of profound weariness:
"But the most tiring part is having to visit relatives afterward, and every year I have to face all sorts of questions from my aunts and uncles."
"Little Tang Bing, you're lucky; at least they're just relatives asking about your grades,"
Upon hearing this, Mingling rolled her eyes in exasperation, then said, as if she didn't want to recall it:
“During the Chinese New Year, my family needs to meet with all sorts of business partners, directors, shareholders, friends, and acquaintances. To avoid losing face and to save face for my family,”
“When I was little, I had to dress up nicely, behave properly, and occasionally show off some talents.”
At this point, Mingling couldn't help but sigh deeply:
"That's a tough battle every year."
In response, Meng Lang, standing to the side, also turned his head to look at the sky, his tone filled with a sense of melancholy as if he had also recalled something:
"Don't say anything, I understand you, Naruto."
As everyone started sharing their childhood memories of celebrating the Lunar New Year, I found it both novel and interesting to talk about these things with my friends. A sense of curiosity was stirred within me.
In the sunlit cottage at midday, sunlight streamed through the frost-covered windowpanes, falling on the ends of her flaxen hair.
Shui Lianxin blinked gently, and asked with a hint of cheerful laughter in her voice:
What were you all like when you were little?
Oh my god, I finally finished writing! After my left hand's tenosynovitis finally got a little better from rubbing it, the next battleground was my lower back pain. My lower back has been incredibly painful this past week for some reason. I looked it up and it's the sacroiliac joint area, the part of my lower back that connects to my buttocks. It hurts so much that I can't bend over easily. I forced myself to finish this chapter (dizzy). Sometimes I get really frustrated. There are so many things I haven't done yet, I haven't even started dating, and my body is already riddled with problems because of writer's block. [PS: This was a year ago when I was a patron, I'm so sorry for thanking you so late. Thank you for your support, which is probably why I've been able to persevere until now.] [PPS: Because there weren't enough chapter titles, I deleted a few words from the patron thank-you note, so it's normal that it's missing.]
